Chapter 15 Plan the development of Hanzhong and implement the tuntian system

After getting married, he and Han Ying spent three days of happy days, Ma Chao began to resume his daily work, Hanzhong City had just been laid, and there were countless important military and political affairs that Ma Chao needed to deal with, but it could not be delayed.

In view of the fact that the military, economic, and historical status of Hanzhong City was superior to that of Tianshui, and the geographical location was closer to the Central Plains, Ma Teng, Ma Chao, and Han Sui decided to move the political center of Xiliang to Hanzhong after discussion. In addition, due to Ma Chao's outstanding performance, Ma Teng decided to delegate power to Ma Chao militarily and economically, and the government and military affairs of Hanzhong City were led by Ma Chao; And Ma Teng and Han Sui are still in charge of the rear of Xiliang, living in Tianshui and Wuwei respectively, concentrating on providing logistics for Ma Chao. Han Sui was the leader of Qianghu, and with him in Wuwei, he could ensure peace on the northwest border, and also continuously transport horses and soldiers to Hanzhong.

The strategic position of Hanzhong City is particularly important, occupying Hanzhong, the east can attack the capital division Chang'an, the south can attack Liu Biao's Shangyong, and the west can also deter Liu Zhang's Zitong. But at the same time, it will also face the attacks of these three parties, but since Ma Teng handed over the military and political power of Hanzhong to Ma Chao, Ma Chao has to manage it well. Ma Chao wants to apply the knowledge he learned in his previous life in modern times and build Hanzhong well.

Ma Chao thought of the "tuntian" stunt in Three Kingdoms 11 about agriculture, which refers to the use of soldiers and peasants to cultivate wasteland in order to obtain military supplies and tax grain. Historically, the tuntian system appeared and was implemented on a large scale during the Three Kingdoms period, and great results were achieved. According to the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", in the first year of Jian'an (196 AD, currently in the winter of 195 AD), Cao Cao used Zaoyi, Han Hao and others to discuss Shixing Tuntian. Historically, Cao Cao used the tuntian system to solve the food problem of the huge army. Cao Cao was able to do it, and he succeeded, which showed that Tuntian was feasible, so he called Yan Pu to discuss.

Yan Pu is an expert in internal affairs, especially in agriculture; Hanzhong Plain, fertile fields for thousands of miles, rich in grain, since ancient times is the granary of the world, Yan Pu is to carry forward and strengthen this, during his tenure, formulated a lot of decrees to promote the development of agriculture in Hanzhong, so that Hanzhong's agriculture is particularly developed.

"Brother Zimao, according to the public's opinion, how should my Xiliang Army deal with itself now, and how should Hanzhong City be planned?" This is to test Yan Pu, and Ma Chao also wants to hear the analysis of the situation by the ancient local strategists.

In the opinion of the garden, the heroes of the world underestimated the Xiliang Ma family, and it was precisely because Zhang Lu despised the Xiliang army that Hanzhong was defeated and died at the hands of Ma Xiu's son. Now Yuan Shu is called the emperor, the world is in dispute, Xuchang Cao Cao, Jiangdong Sun Ce, Puyang Lu Bu, Xiaopei Liu Bei want to jointly crusade against Yuan Shu, there is no time to look west, the lord of the garden is precisely because he saw through this situation, Fang pretended to attack Hanzhong in the name of the Son of Heaven, so as to succeed in one fell swoop, with Hanzhong in hand, the lord also has the foundation of life! ”

"What Brother Zimao said is true!"

"Now Hanzhong is in the hands of the lord, looking at the surrounding situation, Jingzhou Liu Biao, Yizhou Liu Zhang are not enough to worry about, the two have no great ambitions, and the battle of Hanzhong, the lord is famous all over the world, the battle power of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is powerful all over the world, and the two will not dare to touch the tiger's beard! Only Li Wei of Chang'an, since the capture of the Beijing Division, has Guo Yan, Zhu Jun and other famous generals, good at using soldiers, and has Jia Xu's strategy to supplement, strong soldiers and strong horses, quite the enemy of my Hanzhong! ”

"According to Brother Zimao's opinion, how should I deal with Hanzhong City now, and how should I prevent Chang'an Li Dao?"

"How Hanzhong deals with itself, first of all, depends on the plan of the lord. If the lord wants to protect the family and the people, stick to the current land, there is a garden in one day, Xiliang Meng will be stationed, Hanzhong City should be solid, and the lord can be worry-free! ”

"What if you want to compete with the world's heroes?"

"What the lord said is not far from what the garden thinks, the battle of Hanzhong, the lord is famous all over the world, the lord has whimsy, and the heavy cavalry and archers created by the lord are all the male soldiers of the world, and the lord has Pang De, Ma Tie and other Xiliang fierce generals, and has the foundation to compete for the world. However, although the battle of Hanzhong was a big victory, the combat power of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry has attracted the attention of the world's heroes, and it is difficult for the lord to win a big victory similar to the Hanzhong War! If you want to develop in the long term and seek to seize the world, only rely on the power of the lord alone, the land of a city in Hanzhong, the power is not caught, the lord should think of more civil servants and strategists, pour the power of Xiliang, and capture the capital of Chang'an! ”

"According to Brother Zimao's opinion, how can my Xiliang army capture Chang'an?"

"The garden is a conservative person, there is more than internal affairs, the attack is insufficient, the plan of the garden is far away from Chang'an's Jia Xu, and there is no good strategy for attacking!"

"Brother Zimao doesn't need to be arrogant, I don't expect that with the invincible combat power of the Western Liang Army, supplemented by Brother Zimao's ability, I will definitely be able to help me successfully capture Chang'an!"

"The nursery should do its best, do its best to assist the master, and achieve great things!"

Knowing Yan Pu's thoughts, Ma Chao sighed that there was no void under the fame, Yan Pu really did not disappoint him, although he was slightly conservative in the overall situation, but if Ma Chao hadn't become a crossing man, the ending of the Xiliang Army in history would indeed be a tragedy, and there would be no major achievements.

The Great Wall was built brick by brick, and the fat man also ate it one bite at a time, Ma Chao first had to do a good job in the internal affairs of Hanzhong City, and provide more soldiers and food, so that he could have enough strength to attack Chang'an.

Ma Chao told Yan Pu about the concept of the tuntian system, and Yan Pu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that this plan was very feasible, and it could also be carried forward to Tianshui, Wuwei and other cities. Yan Pu is indeed a good hand in internal affairs, Ma Chao put forward some advanced ideas and concepts, and Yan Pu can be transformed into government decrees and implemented immediately! The internal affairs of Hanzhong were handed over to Yan Pu to do, and Ma Chao was very relieved!

Grain and war horses are the most important strategic resources in troubled times, and both are available, and the rest is to increase the population and develop industry. So Ma Chao issued a decree in Hanzhong City to reward birth and raise, encouraging the people of Hanzhong City to marry more wives and have children, and for each child, Hanzhong City subsidized part of the grain and issued a certain monetary reward! The promulgation of the decree to reward military service, boys over the age of 15 can join the army, not only soldiers can get military salaries, but also families with soldiers in the army can also get military subsidies, which greatly encouraged the enthusiasm of the people to join the army, and also obtained a large number of soldiers!

With the lessons of Zhuge Liang's exhaustion in history, Ma Chao will not do everything himself, he is used to being a shopkeeper, as long as he masters the general direction! So Ma Chao appointed Yan Pu as the county chief, responsible for all the internal affairs and trivial affairs of Hanzhong City.

Ma Chao's focus is still on the military. The last time the heavy cavalry was able to achieve a big victory, the most important thing was to win by surprise, and the effect of the first battle was the best, and now that the princes have taken precautions, it is much more difficult to win!

After the last Hanzhong battle, Ma Chao's Eastern Army has also matured a lot; The army is constantly sharpened and grown in actual combat, and in order to train an elite soldier in a hundred battles, it is necessary to let the army continue to progress through the baptism of iron and blood!
