Chapter 6 Seed Distribution
The hesitation is not that he is not confident, but he didn't expect Li Yu to have such high expectations for them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Look at those veterans, many of them are already their officers, at least they are also captains, they have shown absolute self-confidence from the beginning, and even the wisdom they say they don't. And they have long known that all veterans are not illiterate!
Many veterans can even read and write simply, and they can understand and understand the military orders handed down from above for the first time. On the contrary, they are recruits, because the enlistment time is too short, so many things cannot keep up with the rhythm.
For two hours, they received two hours of pinyin instruction. Unlike those babbling children, they learn a lot faster. They may know that they are likely to die in the next battle, but they may also survive, and then as they fight each other, they will become officers or even generals.
In the autonomous region, as long as you have strength, you can become a general, which is a privilege that is not available elsewhere. In the Han Dynasty, almost all the generals were occupied by the children of the family, and even the captains were almost divided, and many officers from poor families or even ordinary people could only become military marquis at most.
Congenital deficiency is a problem, everyone has no culture, and they are not as good as those children of families who have learned the art of war since childhood, and have no worries about eating and drinking; The unspoken rules of the Han officialdom and the family's division of interests also made them feel helpless.
"Hopefully bring back more people!" Li Yu looked at the soldiers who were actively studying, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"It's impossible to fight without dying, especially since they're still recruits!" Li Wen shook his head, "How to deal with the troops with soldiers who have been killed, replenish them on the spot, or requisition them from the autonomous region?" ”
"On the spot, we need more soldiers who have lived in the plains for a long time, and they are more suitable for flat warfare than the mountain people in the land of Wuyue; In addition, the people of the Central Plains are also much higher than the people of Wu Yue! Li Yu replied.
It's not a joke, and I don't know if it's ironic, the taller people get the farther north they go, and the farther south they go, the shorter they get. The autonomous region conducted a census, and the general height of the common people, male is only 1.57 meters. More than 1.65 meters is already a relatively tall existence.
On the contrary, among the people in the Central Plains, the average height of 1,000 people reached 1.65 meters, and the highest was about 1.75 meters; And Yang Lang, Guan Yu and Dian Wei said that there are not a few people in their hometowns who are above 1.8 meters.
The reason why the Southern Dynasty was rarely able to win the Northern Dynasty was that the southern people were physically defective as far as the North was concerned, and their height and strength were insufficient, which made it easy to be at a disadvantage in the process of fighting with cold weapons. If there is no weapon and tactics to supplement it, I am afraid that the southerners will not be able to defeat the northerners in their lifetime.
As long as it enters the state of the Southern Dynasty, it is basically gradually replaced by the regime in the north, and there is little possibility of counterattack.
The mountain people also have the benefits of the mountain people, and when they fight in the mountains, their stature and their habits can burst out three times the combat effectiveness of the northerners. However, in the Central Plains and even Hebei, there are many plains in Guanzhong, so Li Yu's main soldiers this time are mainly these northerners. In the future, even if new recruits are to be recruited, they will be mainly northerners in order to exert their maximum combat effectiveness.
"Whoa!" Li Wen obviously knew the key, and since Li Yu had already given the order, he naturally had nothing to refute.
The next day, the army continued its journey, and arrived at Juchao County after about a little more than an hour. This is actually the front line, after all, the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhao Ci is mainly active in the area of Anhui County, and there are many people going north, but at least 10,000 people are moving in the direction of Juchao.
According to the latest information from Momen, most of the people who went to Juchao were originally the leaders of Jiang Xiaman. Obviously, their main purpose for this eastward march is to seek revenge from Li Yu.
Fortunately, Zhao Ci had already transferred the main force to the north and went to Yuzhou to join the Bocai Department, so almost all of the remaining weak soldiers were picked, and it depended on how Jiang Xiaman planned to die.
Since Zhang Jiao arranged the funeral, Li Yu, or the Momen behind Li Yu, also began to have a relationship with the Taiping Sect. TOEFL and the movements of the Yellow Turban Army are almost all within the scope of Li Yu's monitoring. These Jiangxia barbarians were even a meeting gift from Zhao Ci to Li Yu.
"The Vulnar cavalry stopped immediately!" The scouts sent out naturally came to the county seat of Juchao for the first time, but they didn't want to get close yet, so they were warned by the soldiers on the city wall.
"Don't shoot! I am the Yue Autonomous Region, a rebel general Li Yubu, a scout under Captain Yang Lang of Huwei, and I was ordered to come to check the situation! "Naturally, the scout is kind enough to report his name, so as not to be killed by his allies.
When the defenders of the city wall heard this, they immediately believed it a little. These five soldiers were dressed in iron armor, completely dressed as a Han army, and it was impossible for those tattered yellow turban thieves to have. It's just that seeing a cavalry approaching, even if you know that it may not be a yellow turban thief, you need to be on guard, which is where it is duty. Now that I heard the other party report the number, I almost believed that the other party was a friendly army.
"Where is your headquarters? When will you be able to get here? The county lieutenant of Juchao County couldn't help but ask.
"The headquarters is twenty miles away, and it will take about an hour or so to arrive! The general asked me to ask, is there a yellow turban thief in the near future? The scout simply used the pager to contact the headquarters, then asked.
"The Yellow Turban Thief hasn't appeared in the nest range yet, but it's said that they're approaching here, maybe in two or three days! Can your ministry really get there in an hour? The county lieutenant asked curiously, knowing that the distance of twenty miles is at least half a day for many troops.
"General, they are already close to the county seat, so they will make a rapid march next, which can be regarded as a preliminary exercise for those newly recruited soldiers, and they will be able to arrive in an hour. Because of this, we need to confirm the presence of enemy troops, after all, rapid marching is very physically demanding! The scout replied.
"Do you need to go into the city for supplies?" The county lieutenant asked worriedly, the county seat has been full of refugees, and it is afraid that it will be very crowded if it continues to accommodate friendly troops.
And since it is an army from the kind of barbarian settlement in the autonomous region, the county lieutenant and even the county commander can't help but worry about whether these guys will disturb the people.
"You don't need to go into the city to supply, but you need your county to provide a certain amount of supplies!" The scout quickly replied.
"Can you call the shots?" Another middle-aged man walked up, but it was the county order of Juchao County.
"Naturally, the soldiers can't call the shots, it's just that this is the general's order!" The scout replied that he had concealed the existence of the pager.
"Alright, we'll get you supplies right away!" The middle-aged man nodded and immediately went down the castle tower.
An hour later, sure enough, the large troops arrived one after another, and excluding the high-ranking generals on horseback, almost all the officers below galloped on foot, running for an hour in a row, and they were indeed too tired. Fortunately, there will be no fighting to worry about in the short term, so you can rest assured. As instructed, all the soldiers walked a brief distance before resting.
"Li Yu, the county commander of the autonomous region, has seen the county order of Juchao!" Li Yu personally stepped forward and bowed his hand to the city wall.
His county order is much larger than the average county order, but he doesn't put on a show, and goes to visit him as an equal. This move also won the favor of the county magistrate of Juchao County, and immediately opened the door to greet him.
There is no need to worry that this is a trap for the Yellow Turban thieves, you must know that this army is neatly groomed, and even if it rests, it has not relaxed its vigilance. With this kind of army, how can it be compared to the kind of yellow turban thieves who rebelled among the people?
Now that the friendly forces have arrived, and there are so many, the Juchao County Order is also a lot more relieved, and there is no need to worry too much.
With the opening of the city gates, a large amount of supplies were brought out, most of them military rations, mainly corn and rice. High-yielding crops could not spread north of the Yangtze River due to the closure of the family, but rice was a little less taboo, and the local rice began to be cultivated in the autonomous region last year, and a bumper harvest was achieved that year.
Through the indirect effect of rice, the officials of several counties around Danyang County naturally also reaped a lot of political achievements, so they also had some good feelings towards the autonomous region. In fact, if it weren't for the words of the gate valve above, they would have even planned to introduce high-yield crops.
"This year's yellow turban thieves have risen, will it have an impact on spring ploughing?" After chatting for a few words, Li Yu couldn't help asking.
"This is also the most headache for this official, seeing that the best season for spring ploughing has passed, if you don't plant a little, I'm afraid that the autumn harvest will be a problem. But even if you plant it, you have to worry about whether the Yellow Turban Thieves will come here and destroy the crops in the farmland. Not to mention that even if the harvest is over, a large reduction in production is only an inevitable result. The county magistrate of Juchao County said distressedly.
"I can solve this problem, this time I brought a lot of high-yield crops, at least corn can be exempted from spring planting, and it is okay to delay planting for a month or two. Naturally, there is a lot of harvest, which is very suitable for this year's emergency response ......," Li Yu proposed.
"It's just ......" Juchao County Ling was very excited, but he couldn't help but worry about the side of the family gate.
"This year, there are yellow turbans everywhere in the world, and the reduction of grain production is an inevitable result, and when everyone eats will be a problem, who can block the sale of high-yield crops? Besides, do you really think that these three crops are poisonous? Li Yu asked with a somewhat sly smile.
"Anyway, for the sake of the people who live in the nest, the official is also out of the way!" Juchao County Ling thought about it, gritted his teeth and said. In fact, he thought deeper, or Li Yu guided him to think deeper.
If this year's unrest continues, it will surely lead to a nationwide famine. When the time comes, there will be no harvest elsewhere, but they will have a bumper harvest here, so this is a very good political achievement!
Now that there is a shortage of grain everywhere, I am afraid that Danyang County, where the autonomous region is located, will also sell a large number of high-yield crops to the outside world as an emergency, and at the same time suppress the selling price of ordinary grain. Whether it is the Han Dynasty or the new dynasty that may appear, this will be encouraged to stabilize the price of grain, so even if it is a family gate, I am afraid that it will not be able to suppress it!
After figuring this out, the Juchao County Order did not object, but it was not easy to accept it plainly, so he spent some money to buy the seeds. Li Yu is also unambiguous, almost half selling and half giving, his purpose is not to do business, but to promote these seeds. This time he went north, he must promote it all the way, so that half of the country will be planted with high-yield crops, and the blockade of these three crops by the family gate valve will naturally be broken.
In this way, after a few years, the problem of grain will not be a problem, and the grain merchants will certainly not be able to make the same windfall profits as before. It is also impossible for the family to harvest more food by owning more land. They are faced with only two options: to further suppress and suppress high-yielding crops, or to choose to focus on other industries.
In the long run, there will inevitably be many families who will begin to become capitalists in the true sense! (To be continued.) )
