Chapter 178: Exploring the Problem
Zhao Lie's fleet passed by the southern tip of Tsushima Island, and encountered several Tsushima sentinel ships on the way, and as soon as the other party saw the fleet of the Broken Army, they immediately scattered like birds and beasts, and the oarsmen of the small early boat rowed as fast as they could, trying their best to stay away from these killing gods.

The same is true of the sentry ships of the shogunate navy encountered near Iki Island, and now the fleet of the Broken Naval Army is sonic shock Japan, and encountering them at sea is a word, escape. How far to escape, how far to escape.
The fleet arrived at Fangmao Port in calm and calm, and the voyage was very calm and leisurely, and the crosswind continued after Tiangong was beautiful, so that the fleet arrived in Beihua in less than 20 days.
Fangmao Port began to get busy again, 18,000 refugees, 1,000 horses, tens of thousands of stone grains, all kinds of groceries, armor and gunpowder got off the ship, people entered the refugee camp, goods were put into the warehouse, and five or six days of hard work were arranged, of course, dozens of people and dozens of horses were lost on the way, which was an inevitable price.
On this trip, Bai Shidi led more than ten officials from Jeju Island to also arrive with the ship to reinforce the development of Beihua.
When Zhao Lie arrived at Fangmao Port, only Gu Wuyue came to greet him, Wan Ji had already gone deep into the plain with the brigade, Zhao Lie stayed in Fangmao Port for two days, and inspected the refugee camps, forts, horse farms and other places one by one, and the results were satisfactory to him.
The fort turned Fangmao Harbor into a fortified fortress, wide roads connected the places for easy maneuvering, the refugee camp was well organized, showing a strong Wu style, and the five hundred people left behind in the barracks were also waiting for the unexpected.
Zhao Lie gave Gu Wuyue a thumbs up to show his approval, it was indeed not easy. Tens of thousands of people endured the cold winter in a place with no foundation and insisted on working, Gu Wuyue and others must have worked hard.
Gu Wuyue raised a question, between the only more than 3,000 soldiers, as they entered the plain, the more places were explored. The troops were overstretched, so it was inevitable to send weapons to the Liaomin.
It's just that up to now, only swords, guns, bows, crossbows, and hundreds of pieces of leather and cotton armor have been issued from the inventory of the Broken Army, but there are too few people who can use bows and crossbows, and it will take years to be proficient in using longbows, so the firepower for such long-range attacks is seriously insufficient.
"This time, I will bring 3,000 firearms that were eliminated from the fleet and those that were later made by the craftsman battalion, and all of them will be distributed to the Liaomin as long-range weapons." This was planned by Zhao Lie for a long time.
The vast Beihua Plain. Even if you scatter 10,000 soldiers, you can't defend it thoroughly, only all the people are soldiers, which also lays a foundation for the reserve military service system of the whole people in the future.
"My lord, is there any hidden danger in the armor of the firearm this time?" Gu Wuyue asked worriedly.
"There are definitely a lot of hidden dangers. But it's up to the politicians to deal with it. Zhao Lie replied.
Zhao Lie wants to plant this bomb among the people, if the politicians are unkind. Of course, the people have risen up, and even lower-level officials have done evil, deceived their superiors and subordinates, and beware of being shot with black guns, and of course they may also be used by bold and scheming people. But nothing is absolutely right, just seek the advantages more than the disadvantages.
"If the country is peaceful and the people are safe, these soldiers and armor will not be able to do anything big, but they can resist foreign enemies, and if the politicians are tyrannical and unkind. Then these armors will overthrow it. ”
Gu Wuyue looked at Zhao Lie in a trance, as if it would be your territory in the future, leaving hidden dangers for himself and laying the groundwork.
Zhao Lie looked at Gu Wuyue's expression, and of course understood his thoughts, "This is a sword of Shang Fang that has left governance among the people, and it reminds future generations from time to time that if the government is not benevolent, it can be attacked by a group, so that the politicians are frightened and cautious, and they dare not act wantonly like the nobles of the Ming Dynasty today." ”
Gu Wuyue was shocked when he heard this, no emperor in China has been willing to shackle himself for thousands of years, and adults should be the first.
Two days later, Zhao Lie took Bai Shidi and others to the plain to open up the area surrounded by more than 100 guards, and Zhao Lie named it the North China Plain.
In order to miss their hometown, the Liao people named this river that meanders from the central mountains through the North China Plain and flows into the sea as the Liao River, which is the Ishikari River in later generations, of course, this name is now lost forever.
Zhao Lie saw that Wan Ji's face was a little pale, and he knew that things were huge, and Wan Ji must be busy day and night, and he didn't have enough rest and sleep.
"Wanji, things are busy, and the necessary rest is for a longer period of governance." Zhao Lie pointed out Wanji Road.
"Thank you, sir," Wan Ji gave a grateful salute, "My lord, although things were originally messy, the situation was quite comforting, but in the past half a month, dozens of tribes who moved to the north have joined forces with the two largest tribes in the north, and have continuously attacked the Liao people who have opened up to me from all over the north. ”
Wan Ji gritted his teeth and hated it incomparably, so far more than 100 Liao people have died in battle, and more than 20 people are missing, which has made the Liao Min development team divided into more than 20 teams of 1,000 people panic and greatly reduce their progress.
"To this day, how much arable land has been cultivated here." Zhao Lie asked.
"My lord, in the southwest of the entire plain, we have roughly cultivated nearly 200,000 acres of fields, all of which have been planted with sweet potatoes, but they are all raw land, although most of them are composted and cultivated, and the harvest is expected to be limited." Wanji replied.
Zhao Lie nodded, according to the estimate, nearly 100,000 people will be transported from Shidao to Beihua this year, 500,000 mu of land will be cultivated, and 50,000 people will be resettled.
Next year, more than 1 million mu of land will be opened up and 100,000 people will be resettled, and more than 200,000 Liao people will live and work in peace and contentment on Beihua Island in the year after that, and gradually turn it into a part of China.
Of course, the premise is to deal with the Anui who are constantly rebelling today.
After a day of deliberation by Zhao Lie, Wan Ji, Bai Shidi and others, the following articles were finally decided,
Slow down the speed of development, and when each development point goes out to explore, there should be tun people wearing armor and guard.
Pick out 1,000 Jeju horses and form a fast horse infantry. In order to enhance the mobility of the troops, they will be able to support all parts of the service at any time.
The defense of the cantonment points near the north was done well, walls and towers were built, and moats were dug to strengthen their protection.
Bring in the cavalry of Shidao, raid the enemy's territory, and burn the flames of war into the enemy's hinterland. Relieve the pressure on your own side, and it is best to be able to fight a decisive battle with the enemy and annihilate the enemy.
Due to the delay caused by the resistance of the Anui, this year's development task was lowered to 400,000 mu, and the number of people transported remained unchanged, 80,000 to 100,000.
The next day, Wan Ji and Bai Shidi led people to make full arrangements for the things after the discussion, and Zhao Lie led the guards to go deep into the development points around the camp to investigate, and Wan Ji did not stop him. The southern frontier is still very safe.
Fang Shun is weeding the fields with Fang Yuanshan, Fang Gaoshan, Lao Yutou, and Yu Zhe, the son of Lao Yutou, and the two families have 100 acres of land next to each other, and the two families work together to farm, which is very necessary in this place where Yi people often haunt.
Fang Shun, Fang Gaoshan, and Lao Yutou are weeding in the old Yutou's field, and the newly reclaimed land has a very fast regeneration of weeds. Still, everyone was motivated.
This year, they divided the acres first, and the adults only gave ten taels of silver. Ten stone of miscellaneous grains, and the rest of the income is expected to be produced in the field, of course, with all his might.
Fang Yuanshan and Yu Zhe were wearing leather armor and cotton armor, holding spears in their hands, and patrolling around, Fang Shun and the others also had Fang Shun's Yanling knife and Fang Gaoshan's spear on the ground. The old one-stone bow and arrow is really a fighting group and a production team.
Fang Shun and the others were busy for an hour, and they were really tired, mainly because of their back pain. The worst sin in farm work is the back.
"Fangtou, no, sit down and rest." Old Yutou put down the hoe panting, sat on the ground, his own Ding Kou is less, and the Fangtou family has more helpers, Lao Yutou is very embarrassed, otherwise he would have rested a long time ago.
"Okay, let's rest for a while." Fang Shun was also hot and tired, gritting his teeth and insisting.
Fang Gaoshan drank most of the water in the water bag, which was better.
Fang Shun and Lao Yutou also sat down to drink water and rest.
Fang Shun looked around first, there was no surprise, there were already fields all around, all of them were planted with sweet potatoes, the seedlings were not high, and the situation around was clear at a glance.
Fang Shun also sighed, this piece was originally woodland or grassland, full of green, and it was impossible to see far at a glance, but now it is all black land and green seedlings, and it can be seen at a glance that it is several miles away.
"Dad, we don't have any people here at all, and we have nothing to do if we wear armor every day." The thin Yu Zhe muttered. Fang Gaoshan also means to echo.
"Nonsense, when the Yiren touches the front, what do you bastard use to kill him, with a hoe?" Old Yu was angry and said that his son was lazy.
"Lao Yu is right, you can't leave your weapon here, and if you leave your body, you are putting your life in the hands of others." Fang Shun glared at Fang Gaoshan angrily.
Old Yu Tou's son Yu Zhe heard Fang Shun say this, and he could only bow his head and admit it, he had always been in awe of Fang Shun, after all, it turned out to be the chief flag master.
"Okay, you guys do it first, I'll go to some other homes to have a look." Fang Shun is now the village chief of more than 100 households in this tun, and it is his duty to supervise cultivation and train tunding.
Fang Shun picked up his Yanling knife and iron shield from the ground and walked eastward, there was a field on the verge of the main road, but it was a little low-lying, Fang Shun wanted to see the ten tunding who had set up a guard on the main road, one of them was to check the suspicious people passing by, and the other was always ready to reinforce the scattered tun people.
Fang Shun came to the side of the road and saw ten boys in their twenties who were sunburned and wilted.
The armor of the sword and gun is a little crooked.
Fang Shun just scolded a few words, the dust was flying in the distance, and a large group of horses came from far and near, waving flags, and a flag bearer held a red flag in the first place, Zhao. Behind them were galloping all-armored cavalrymen, with long weapons or iron shields hanging on the sides of the horses, and men and horses galloping undulatingly.
Fang Shun and the others hurriedly set up a military salute, and the adults above had already spoken, Beihua was a military tun, so the military salute was passed here.
The cavalry trotted past Fang Shun and the others.
Fang Shun saw that most of them were strong soldiers, and several of them were tall and sat on horses like a hill.
Fang Shun and the others watched the cavalry kick up a large cloud of dust and leave, so they trained, "Look, such a hot Tianquan armor march, keeping the formation unchanged, this is the elite soldier, and then look at your muddy balls just on the spot on the alert, the armor is crooked." ”
A few juniors laughed and listened to the training. (To be continued.) )
