Chapter 263: The Great Granary
"Hey, what are you doing? Come and play! ”
I saw three young men walking with rattan balls, the big number of special armor paint brushes distributed by the academy, they were school friends of the drama letter, and they were also students studying military command. √∟
Chun Yu glanced at the pages of the newspaper: "You also know that the Han army has withdrawn south, what do you think?" ”
"It's a loss."
Uncle Sun Qin smiled and said, "You think so? ”
"Of course it's a loss, Zuo Xian Wangting is close in front of you, can you not lose it!"
"I thought the same thing yesterday, go home and discuss with my uncle to analyze the battle situation of the Huns, it should be more cost-effective to retreat."
Ji Xin raised his eyebrows: "Uncle Suntai, a big farmer?" Why did he say that? ”
"You know that my uncle is a big farmer, you should know that the big farmer order is in charge of the Han army's grain allocation, the general of the chariot cavalry led 300,000 Han troops to the Huns, and went north out of Yanmen to lead 80,000 people to sweep the southern grassland, during the period the consumption of grain and straw for people and horses is quite huge, the military horses have to eat grain and soybeans, the Han soldiers love to eat rice and grain, the logistics pressure of going north after the Yin Mountain is very large, every 100 miles of more grain consumption will be more, and the consumption of 80,000 troops deep into the edge of the desert can not afford the consumption of the royal court." Uncle Sun Qin said triumphantly.
Yin Shan said lightly: "Uncle Sun Qin, if I were you, you would immediately shut up." ”
"Huh?"
Ji Xin nodded: "The information you said should be a secret of the Great Agricultural Order, your uncle told you that you violated the Han law, and you secretly told us that if any of us denounce you, your uncle and grandson will have to be exiled." ”
Uncle Sun Qin's frightened double-strand tremor hurriedly said: "I'm sorry! I didn't say anything just now, so I'm asking a few brothers to do me a favor to cover up this matter! Another day, I will be thanked. ”
"Hehe, it's easy to say. Don't do that next time. ”
The other three laughed and teased Uncle Sun Qin, whose father was a doctor of Huang Laoxue. The uncle was the deputy official of the Great Agricultural Order, and his great-grandfather was the uncle Sun Tong, a doctor who formulated the law of etiquette in the early Han Dynasty. It was originally a branch of Confucianism, but it was passed on to his father's generation to learn Huang Lao, his mother's family was the Guannei Hou family, and the two uncles were middle-level officers in the Northern Army.
Chun Yuqi untied the heavy armor and lay down and fanned the wind: "What Uncle Sun Qin said is roughly right, the logistics of continuing to go north are unbearable, otherwise the Han army will not only wander around Yinshan for three or four hundred miles, Yuyang County, Right Beiping County, Liaoxi County, and Liaodong County, which are the strongest in the Zuoxian Wang's department, have not been impacted, one is that the logistics cannot keep up." The second is that the foundation of the Xiongnu left is deep, and it is easy to attract a large number of Xiongnu troops if it cannot be taken for a while, and the total strength of Zuo Xian Wang is about 150,000, and the intelligence shows that Zuo Xian Wang's department only uses 120,000, and the loss of troops is less than 10,000 after several kills. ”
"No, I remember that the small tribes of Zuo Xian's ministry were wiped out a lot, and there were 30,000 people killed."
"There are at least 1.5 million people in the left land of the Xiongnu, and the death of 30,000 people is only a small injury, and he can make up for the population in a year."
The drama letter was unhappy and said: "Then the Huns are very powerful." Then why was we beaten like a dead dog, I don't believe that the Xiongnu tribe can be stronger than the main force of the Xiongnu. ”
"It makes sense, but the cavalry of the Xiongnu tribes is different, and the main forces of the Xiongnu rarely fight guerrillas. Rather, it was a tactic of eating the opponent head-on, while the cavalry of the Xiongnu tribe was more inclined to the strategy of one blow and leaving, when the Han army penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Monan grassland. The cavalry of the Hun tribe will inevitably harass our logistics line, and the disruption of logistics will directly affect the morale of the whole army. As a result, the northward expansion strategy cannot be sustained, and it will be more dangerous to divide troops to protect the grain routes. ”
Yin Shan continued: "The Han army is afraid that it will be difficult to take care of the beginning. Yulin cavalry and heavy cavalry are not afraid of the Hun cavalry, does not mean that the 60,000 county soldiers of Yanmen County, Yunzhong County, and Shanggu County are not afraid of the Hun cavalry. ”
Draw a map of the Xiongnu grassland, between Yinshan and Yangshan is the Hetao Plain, and then to the east are Yunzhong County, Yanmen County, Daiguo, Shanggu County and Yuyang County further east.
The Xiongnu Zuoxian Wangting is more than 800 miles away from Yinshan, and 500 miles north of Yuyang County is the nearest straight-line distance, theoretically the logistics pressure from Yuyang County is the least, but the Xiongnu tribe north of Yuyang County is very strong, there are no particularly large tribes nearby, but there are many medium-sized tribes, and a big battle must be fought to break through that layer of defense, and the risk of the Xiongnu going south in a big way, and the local annihilation war will become a large-scale war.
"First of all, we must clearly understand that the Huns are not without strength, according to the news, the main force of the Huns has not been damaged, and most of the tens of thousands of people who died are cannon fodder tribes, even if those tribes do not die, they will not escape the cleansing of annexation and tribal wars, there are tribal wars on the grassland every year, so the advantage of the Han army is a false advantage, and the defeat of the Huns for a while can not rest easy in the north to attack the Zuoxian Palace."
Among the four people, the best military science in Haoshan, his explanation quickly made the other three wake up, no wonder the general of the Che cavalry led more than 80,000 troops to sit in Yinshan and did not move, no wonder the imperial court sent an urgent report to Longxi that was in urgent need of rescue and returned to the south, the deep-seated reason is that the Han army attacked the Xiongnu in the north and the court was not caught.
The drama letter said depressedly: "It's a pity to give up such a good opportunity because of lack of preparation." ”
"Don't worry, this year's war was originally a hasty response of the Han army, the imperial court should not have been prepared for war before, it is a surprise to be able to play a huge advantage, and it is a bit greedy to further fight the results, since ancient times, generals have been the most taboo to be greedy for merit." In the first semester, they had learned the case of the Qin general Li Xin's embezzlement and the defeat of the 200,000 Qin army by the Chu State, and the three of them said that they could understand it.
At this time, it symbolizes that the class bell rings, and the four people secretly scream that it is not good, so they pick up their things and run.
Wei Juan walked through the garden and shook his head, every day he could see students playing with the ball and forgetting the time, desperately rushing back, and there were always a few who were late for each class.
"Defend the wine and go slowly."
The young woman on the other side of the garden walked over slowly, Wei Juan sighed helplessly, and arched his hand: "Lord Liu Weng is here to miss the distance, I don't know what to look for?" ”
Liu Ling returned the salute with a smile: "My father has not been the king of Huainan for a long time, and it is not appropriate to call me the lord of the sacrifice wine again." ”
"Zong Zheng Honghou is seriously ill and difficult to treat. The Son of Heaven intended to use the Marquis of Huainan as Zongzheng, and he was originally born as a prince and a prince to do things for the Son of Heaven. Calling a lord is not a ceremonial transgression. "Wei Juan is very cunning, he can see the mind of the Son of Heaven. It costs the least amount of grace to the Huainan Marquis who has a stain on his body, and giving Liu Ling a nominal lord to let her run Shaxian in Jiangxia County with peace of mind, which can not only appease the disgruntled princes and kings, but also satisfy the strongest Marquis of Pingyang, the strongest prince.
Liu Ling, who had been missing for many years a few years ago, returned to Chang'an City in a different face, and returned to Chang'an City in a different way, with the same eight-sided exquisiteness as before, the difference was that he did not pretend to be a lascivious disciple, nominally volunteering to do something small for the royal family, but secretly carrying out comprehensive cooperation with the Marquis of Pingyang. Combined with her abnormal performance, it is easy to be reminiscent of Pingyang Hou behind her.
Liu Ling is Cao Shi's woman's gossip spread, but because of the growing power of Princess Yang Nobunaga and did not dare to publicize it loudly, this open secret is almost unknown to everyone in Chang'an, and this year it was brought to all the counties of the world by the vast number of Kanto merchants, and it actually attracted many people's applause in the southern counties.
Cao Shi advocated the development of Jiangxia County to connect the north-south passage, and also suggested the development of Nanyang County, which is important to the north and south, and recommended Lujiang Shu Weng as the Taishou, and praised Wen Weng for seven years in Shuzhong to promote education, raise talents, and repair water conservancy, and made outstanding political achievements. The Son of Heaven promised.
At the beginning of his tenure, Wen Weng went deep into Lu to collect the needs of the people, and captured dozens of violent and powerful families in the county who colluded with the bureaucracy, and the atmosphere in Nanyang County improved greatly. The establishment of the school advocated education and the introduction of agricultural technology from Guanzhong, and the grain output of Nanyang County increased greatly in less than a year. The per capita grain holdings have increased by as much as three stones, and the people's prosperity and customs have gradually improved. As a result, he was loved by the people of Nanyang County and became a hot celebrity in Kanto.
Cao Shi recommended another person who was Liu Ling in front of him. Ask the Son of Heaven to allow her to communicate with the Taishou of Jiangxia County as the daughter of the sect, and smoothly promote the Jiangxia development plan, the Son of Heaven will allow her to do so, and give Liu Ling the honor of the lord.
From the above dots, it can be seen that the Son of Heaven is adjusting the direction of domestic policy.
The plan of the common people to move south to develop the old Chu land cannot be changed, and the development of the vast land of Jingman is the basis for ensuring the interests of the south, and the undeveloped wild land will only breed more jungle barbarians, and the only way to make the barbarians more civilized is to lure them to profit, and there is no bait that can move people's hearts more than three-crop rice, after all, wealth moves people's hearts.
A few months ago, the envoy of Changsha sent a bunch of rice with full grains, which was the three seasons of rice in Champa that was successfully planted in South Vietnam, and the high-yield crops in spring, summer and autumn have a harvest of seven stones and five buckets every year.
Hearing that Changsha tried to plant three seasons of rice, and the total yield per mu of the three seasons was close to ten stones, the Son of Heaven almost jumped up at that time, and for a time the wind in the imperial court changed greatly, and the civil and military officials who were not very active unanimously supported the vigorous promotion of the Han people's southward migration plan, and the imperial court did not hesitate to launch the slogan of one mu and ten stones, attracting the people who voluntarily went south to the counties to sign up.
Liu Ling, who is precisely a semi-official figure who implements the southward relocation plan, represents the interests of Cao Shi, a chariot general, and has a strong voice in the newly attached Sanyue region in the south.
"Please tell me something, Lord Weng."
"It will take two or three years for Shaxian City to begin to take shape, you don't need to worry about planning and construction, what is urgently needed in the south is all kinds of senior talents, so I came all the way to Chang'an City, I want to do you a favor, and more talents will go to the south to participate in the development, and the Son of Heaven intends to build the old Chu Jingman land into a granary of the Han family, just like a big granary like Guanzhong and Shuzhong."
"Is that true?"
"I wouldn't dare to lie to you."
Wei Wanshu groaned: "Since Your Majesty intends to build a big granary, we Taixue is obliged to make a contribution, leave this matter to me, and Lord Weng will wait for good news!" (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and faster!)
ps: Ten stones is 600 catties, the annual output of modern three-season rice is more than 1,500 catties, more than one-third of the points are also in line with the situation, I see that some historical materials mention a maximum of 14~15 stone per mu yield is simply terrifying, in fact, two seasons of rice have 2,000 catties, three seasons of rice input more and less output, and a change at night.
