Chapter 244: Utopianism Harms People
Today is the day of the repair and acceptance of the fort wall of Tuanshan Fort, and Zhang Li came to the fort wall early.
Zhang Zhang took Gao Yuanliang and others to inspect twice, looking at the neatly repaired fort wall, Zhang Zhang also personally kicked a few feet on the freshly built wall battlements, and his feet immediately swollen high......
Master Zhang injured his foot, which scared everyone enough, but Zhang Zhang didn't care, and limped down the fortress wall.
When he came to the council hall, Zhang Zhang prescribed a prescription, and Anzi immediately picked up the medicine, took off Zhang Li's boots, and smeared Zhang Li's injured foot.
Anzi was applying the wound medicine, and Gao Yuanliang, Pan Batian, Zhang Xiaoran, and Yi Ze in the hall couldn't stare at Master Zhang's feet, so they had to turn their heads to the side.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Zhang Zhang finally broke the silence: "Although I hurt my foot today, I am happy!" You have all bothered to repair the fort wall, and I will ask Anzi to give you a credit when I go back. Well, the promotion in the future will be based on merit, and the military judge will be in charge of me for the time being, and I will find a suitable candidate in the future. β
'Yes! All the people looked awe-inspiring and agreed in unison.
'Ouch! Anko, you fucking tap! β
'Huh? - Yes, yes......'
Zhang Zhang frowned, and quickly returned to his normal: "Old Gao, what did you think about what we discussed last night?" β
Gao Yuanliang took two steps forward and bowed: "My lord, we have a total of 1,000 people now, and the establishment you said can't be done for the time being!" I thought about it all night, and now I can only build a scout team, a musket team, and an infantry team......
Zhang Zhang has already emphasized that in the future, the title of 'young master' will not be used in the army, and it will be changed to 'adult'.
Zhang Zhang nodded. He glanced at the rest of the people again, and saw that everyone nodded slightly. Obviously, Gao Yuanliang has also discussed it with everyone.
Well, for the time being, let's just have a little bit of money. That's the only way to do it. Lao Gao, you are the president of Qian, everyone is under you, and you are in charge. The scout team was led by Alone, and Aloneβ'
Zhang Xiaoran took two steps forward and bowed: "The end will be!" β
Zhang Zhang nodded: "You pick people by yourself, you can also pick people from the Sun Moon Pavilion before, and the people who came over from Ning Yuanwei can also do it overnight before, you are the first to pick people!" Well, it's just a hundred people. β
'Yes. My lord! He replied in a loud voice, and began to ponder in his heart.
His martial arts are not inferior to Gao Yuanliang, and he is much stronger than Pan Batian, so being the scout captain is indeed the most suitable.
Scouts have always been the most elite part of the border army, and many times they need to be extremely strong heads-up ability, which is completely different from fighting in large troops......
"Of course, you have never been a scout before, you can ask the army for advice without accepting an open mind, and you must not be self-righteous. β
Suddenly, I was shocked. He hurriedly answered: 'Yes, my lord! The last general must be humble and ask the old army for advice, and he will not lose the face of the eldest lady! β
Zhang Li smiled slightly. didn't say anything, and immediately made up Ruochen's alluring appearance......
'My lord......' Anzi whispered, pulling tension back into her thoughts.
Zhang Zhang glanced at Anzi. Nodding his head, he said, "Hmm, the medicine is finished?" Good. You go wash your hands and come back as soon as you're done. I have something to say. β
After An Zi's fart went down, Zhang Li looked at this Pan Batian and said: "Old Pan, if you are good at using firearms, you will lead the musket team." There are only a hundred of them now, so you have to pick the elite to equip them. Those who wield cannons and arquebuses should also be trained more, and the number of them should be set at three hundred. β
Pan Batian hurriedly agreed, and began to think about the selection of his musket team.
'The rest is the infantry team, and you are under the command of Gao Qian. Mr. Yi, you have the most people under you, and I'm afraid the quality is also poor, so you have to pay a little more attention. β
Izawa was taken aback, except for the scout team of 100 people and the musket team of 300 people, the rest of the more than 600 people were all infantry teams, and Lord Bingbeidao actually handed over the largest force to himself, it was really-
Zhang Li took in Izawa's expression, but he didn't break it, but just added lightly: "All of you are under the jurisdiction of President Gao Qian, do you understand?" β
'Got it! Everyone responded in unison.
Anzi washed his hands and walked into the council hall at this moment, standing at the bottom of the hall, waiting for Zhang Li's dispatch.
Zhang Li glanced at Anzi and said, "Anzi, you can choose some young and strong ones from among the people and learn how to deal with the wounded with youβwell, you can teach them the simple methods I taught you earlier." β
Zhang Zhang was born in Langzhong, this military doctor is naturally righteous, and Anzi is not surprised. Previously, when Anzi was in Penglai and Nanjing, he also learned a lot of surgical knowledge about saving injuries, although it was not as good as sitting in the hall, but it was also roughly understood.
After everyone retreated, Zhang Li began to ponder his next move after the fort wall was repaired - what to do first?
After this period of time, Zhang Li realized that he had made a great mistake before.
The mistake of utopianism.
Maybe it was because later generations had seen too much farming, and Zhang Li always wanted to follow the routines of those farming texts, honestly recruit homeless people, and be self-sufficient.
However, after looking at the land near Tuanshan Fort and consulting some old farmers, Zhang Li realized what a second idea this was.
The land is divided into raw and ripe, and crops can be planted in the year of ripening, but raw land needs a year or even three years of fertilization to become cooked land.
You sow the seeds of the raw land, and make sure that there are other weeds and trees that grow.
Even if it is cooked land, Tuanshan Fort has hundreds of acres of cooked land, it is not good.
Because of the bitter cold in eastern Liaoning, crops are basically ripe once a year, even if the normal spring sowing and autumn harvest, in the Xiaoice period, the peasants are barely satisfied, and it is impossible to raise soldiers.
At present, the taxes of the Ming Dynasty basically come from Jiangnan, Huguang and Sichuan, and the north is basically a pit, and Liaodong is naturally a huge pit.
The Xiaoice period in Tuntian, Liaodong, is almost a dream - unless excellent corn and sweet potato and potato seeds are obtained.
Many farming pigs are also sowing these things, with a yield of 10,000 catties per mu, but it is just a fantasy.
Corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes can now be strained. Daming maritime merchants are very developed, as long as there is money, there is nothing that cannot be bought.
But those people overlooked one of the most important things. In later generations, everyone ate corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes in the bowl, which are already varieties that have been improved for hundreds of years......
In fact, the yield of corn and other crops in the Americas is not high. It is not as good as wheat in northern China and rice in southern China, but they have been continuously selected and bred to catch up.
At least corn is the most important grain in the north, and if I remember correctly, it should not have formed a scale until the middle and late Qing Dynasty.
Utopianism hurts people!
It's no wonder that when I first talked about Tuntian in the early morning, the officials looked at me like fools -- it seems that without investigation, there is no right to speak, and this is a truth in ancient and modern times.
If Tuntian is a idea at the moment, how should Tuanshan Fort survive?
β¦β¦
Tuanshan Fort East Mountain, where a large forest has been cut down. The soldiers, shirtless and shouting with great force, carried thigh-thick logs to the barracks under construction at the foot of the mountain.
After the fort wall was repaired, the second thing the soldiers did was to build a house.
Of course, only simple barracks, wooden thatched barracks, can be built.
Now rows of thick logs have been erected and skeletons have been erected, and it will take a few more processes to follow. to be able to lay thatch.
Wood and oxen were also among the laborers, with the wood being less powerful and clearing the branches, while the oxen were responsible for carrying logs.
It was finally lunchtime. Wood's stomach was already rumbling, and just at this moment, a burst of rice incense came into his nose, hooking Wood's saliva.
Everyone rushed to the marching tent. Go and get the dishes and chopsticks -- Lord Bingbei Dao actually ordered that all people should line up for dinner, not according to rank. Even the general flag and the small flag lined up like ordinary sergeants.
Although it is said that the general above will be temporarily held in the military council hall, but the military preparation Dao Zhang also said. The main reason is that there are too many things now, and the chief masters can't waste time queuing up -- after they get on the right track in the future, even the old men of the army will have to line up to eat.
This is unheard of!
After the wood fetches the dishes and chopsticks, they line up in the middle of the line. When he raised his eyes, he saw that the big steak was in front of him with one or two hundred people, and he was frowning at himself.
This bastard is pretty fast......
"Hey, wood, the bosses of the teaching team over there are here, don't stand up yet!" β
When Mu heard the words 'teaching team', he immediately shuddered, and immediately stood behind the previous soldier.
Wood closed his left eye and looked at it with his right, and when he was sure that the brother in front of him was completely obscuring his vision, he closed his right eye and opened his left eye for a look.
Whew-I should be standing up straight, and my left and right eyes are blocked by the buddy in front of me.
The wooden boss did not squint, and whispered, "Pimple, thank you!" β
Sure enough, standing behind the wood was Gao Yuanliang's personal soldier - Pimple.
Pimple was in Ning Yuanwei's military camp before, and he had helped Mu Tou fight, and the two were also good buddies.
A short time later, three soldiers in gray coats walked past the wood. Wood didn't dare to look at them, but looked directly at the back of the head of the soldier in front of him.
'Whew, the teaching team is gone!' The pimple poked the back of the wood lightly, and said with a palpitation.
As soon as Mu heard this, he also exhaled heavily, tilted his head slightly, and glanced at the pimple out of the corner of his eye: "If there is a loud noise and people who do not obey the order of the queue, the teaching team will be greeted with a whip, and you kid be careful that they will kill the horse pistol." β
Pimple quickly turned his head and glanced at it: "Lord Bingbei is really a toss, to make such a team of living Hades, but it will cost us our lives!" The fat man Li who fought with us in the camp before, do you know, how horizontal a person? In the past few days, I have been whipped every day, and everyone has lost weight! β
The buddy in front of him moved a few steps forward, and after the wood followed closely, he smiled and said, "Which of us didn't get whipped in the first three days?" That is, these two days have been better. Li Fatzi is used to yelling, and he is estimated to be beaten up! Do you think he's still screaming today? (To be continued......)
