Chapter 328: Hesitation
A general in the army, who was responsible for Sima Cheng, strode on the wall of Yanmen Pass, came behind Yue Fei, and saluted and reported: "General, the grain straw released from Daizhou today has arrived, there are more than 730 stones, and the purchase price of one stone has also risen to 5 guan 4500 yuan. ”
Yue Fei was stunned: "It's only seven hundred and thirty stones?" "Now the hedgehogs gathered in the left side of Yanmen Pass, together with the strong recruits, there are about thousands, and the people are also four or five thousand, one person has three liters a day, which is almost two hundred stones, not to mention the horse feed of hundreds of horses, there is not much grain stored here, plus this one, even ten days may not be able to support it.
The border land east of the river is not richer than the hinterland, and the food supply has become a big problem, if the local administrative system is fully supported, this problem is not very big, but now everything depends on itself, not to mention the difficulty of buying and transporting grain, that is, the high price of a stone of grain and rice, and now Yue Fei is also a little unbearable.
Seeing Yue Fei Shen Yin, Sima asked tentatively, "Is it a reduction in supply?" A person a day is to put three liters, it is too much, reduce it to two liters, it may not be impossible, support a little longer, go to other places to collect and buy grain and grass, almost enough to receive ......"
Yue Fei shook his head resolutely: "No!" You look at the road here, look at the weather now! Soon the weather will be colder, and these people will have to rush to work, so that they will not be fed, and these people still have their families to rely on, even if they have dozens of wages every day, where do they go to buy food? Three liters of rice grain can barely support a family of half-starved and half-full, and the reduction of rice grain is to make them hungry, not to say words of kindness or kindness. These barriers must be rectified as soon as possible, but how can no one deal with them? ”
In the Song Dynasty, one stone was about 60 kilograms now, and three liters was now three catties and six taels, and only one was grinded, which was probably barely enough for these people to live with their dependent families. Since he reached out and took it, Yue Fei naturally couldn't watch them fall between the ravines.
Sima had nothing to say, so he had to nod his head and answer, and then go to the nerves to send people to buy food.
After he went, Yue Fei pondered for a long time, and then asked the guards around him: "How are the Japanese soldiers training these days?" "At present, the first army has not yet arrived, and the generals who have been used in the vanguard are scattered everywhere.
Yue Fei's personal guards also shared many of the responsibilities of the generals who were originally winged and auxiliary soldiers, and one of the guards replied at the moment: "Recruit strong, and have temporarily established two cavalry commanders." In this place, there is no shortage of horses, and most of the strong recruits are skilled in riding. There are more than 100 of us as the backbone, and now they are all scattered in the north, scouting every day. ”
Yue Fei smiled, the Jinyang army was treated so poorly, the whole army, who could not have grievances.
The more this is the case. The more you can make the whole army work together, this time to go north. One of the most important aspects of the preparation is to buy a horse, and it turns out that it is not difficult to buy a horse here, and it turns out that this is one of the important channels for selling horses.
The war in the north, the business route is impassable, and there is a lot of backlog, as long as people are sent north to find it. Someone sent it to the door, and at any time, business had to be done, and five cavalry troops were temporarily commanded, and the war horses were soon assembled. Now the sentinel is sharpening.
Even the ordnance is not very lacking, except for a lesser armor, everything can be regarded as abundant, Yue Fei nodded, and said to the guards of Suihu: "Go and give the order to the commander of the horse, let him collect his own cavalry under the command of his own army, together with the general guard, go north with me, there is a lack of food here, before Xiao Yang will master them back, there is not much way to do it, we Shuozhou, Huanzhou has just been defeated, some grain is stored, but they all point to these two states to be planted next year, waiting for a bumper harvest, but there are many forts in the north of Yingzhou, go with me to get grain!" Nothing can be said to delay the progress of the construction here, naturally when we get here, we have to take out our old fighting skills! In case you meet the Jurchen Tartars, you can also try their emptiness! ”
Several guards suddenly received the order, and when the Jinyang army came here, it was naturally ready to fight, so they had to use their military exploits to let Bianliang see what kind of military horse the Jinyang army was!
Hearing that Yue Fei was going to the north, everyone was excited, Yue Fei also stretched his muscles, Rao is calm temperament, and he couldn't help but be slightly excited at this time.
After waiting for nearly a few months in the almost breathless environment of Yandi, I finally had the opportunity to get on the horse and gallop again! Just thinking about it, it is already fascinating, since it has arrived at the border, in addition to renovating the defense system, it is natural to take the initiative to attack and test the reality of the Jurchen Hu Cavalry that is now raging in the north.
When it comes to the defense of Yandi Hebei, it is said that it is necessary to re-establish Hebei military towns, although there are many military towns in Hebei, but they have long been abandoned, the so-called more than 100,000 garrisoned forbidden troops are now not one, and the Xiang army can not be counted on.
It is necessary to re-open the military town of Hebei, and recruit the brave and strong people to form an army with a military force that can be transferred from Bianliang as the backbone.
Hebei army is in ruins, Yandi is a new land, but also to establish garrison military towns, relying on Hebei garrison forbidden military town, you can include Yandi Haoqiang, make it into an army, so tidy up and refined, Hebei Yandi, as a deep-rooted and unshakable trend.
Hebei Yandi is so arranged, it has become a wing with Hebei Yandi, and it is also an important part of the northern defense system in Hedong, and the situation of military slack is not much different from Hebei.
Hedong must also reopen the town, with a strong army to suppress it, the Great Song Dynasty facing the northern front, in order to be complete and stable, must be a strong part of the town, as the backbone, including the people to be strong, in order to become a strong army.
Since it was said that it was necessary to transfer a strong army to take over the defense of the western army, reopen the town with it as the backbone, and sort out the defense of the north, it was naturally indispensable to mention which military horses to be transferred.
Now in the capital, there are no more than two armies to be discussed, that is, the Shence Army and the Jinyang Army, the two are stationed abroad, the Shence Army lives in Yandi, Hebei, and the Jinyang Army lives in Hedong.
After the two armies of Yandi and Hedong in Hebei were ready, the north of the Great Song Dynasty was deeply entrenched, and any enemy could be dealt with. Some of them went a step further and talked about personnel arrangements.
Wang Yu, the commander of the Shengjie army, was originally a major general of the dynasty, after defending Hedong, he could lead the commander of the soldiers and horses in Hedong, Wang Yu was prestigious, and he had participated in the war against Yan, which was suitable for people and places, and the seniority was enough, so he could act independently.
