Chapter 389: Nanyang
After being defeated many times in the simulated battle by Lu Bu's "leading charge", Bai Tu also realized his limitations.
Of course, there are elements of Lu Bu's unreasonableness, but ......
It is undeniable that the world of Chengji is different from the world that Bai Tu was in before, and artillery has a great impact on the battle situation, but ...... Is the impact of the Golden Jade Warrior and even the Transcendent God General on the battle situation small?
Therefore, Bai Tu did not bother to persuade Lu Bu on the sand table for the time being, but changed his thinking.
As long as the artillery is really used, not to mention the battle-hardened generals such as Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, and the elites of Zhou Yu and Lu Meng, will they still stick to the rules?
The failure of the white map can only be attributed to...... With artillery, he can't beat Lu Bu!
In this case, it is not difficult for Bai Tu to be himself.
To realize his real advantage, or role, should be to find out some tactical literature from the hard disk in the 18th and 19th centuries, when Western artillery and muskets were in their infancy, summarize and compile them into teaching materials, and disseminate them in the lecture hall.
Other...... Wait for them to "realize" themselves!
It's like the information given to the Ministry of Industry, in fact, it has long been incomplete, and the road behind is more and more dependent on the skilled craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, as well as ...... Theory master Pang Tong, chemistry expert Yu Ji.
It's even more the same if you change to a general, they are not children, they don't need to be fed to Baitu in their mouths, Baitu just needs to grasp the general direction and don't go down the crooked and evil road that he missed.
Even considering the difference in the world of Chengji, they may be more reliable if they figure it out on their own.
Thinking about this section, Bai Tu relaxed again and again.
And the convoy also came to Xinye in the north of Xiangyang at this time - although it is only a small county, if Nanyang is still facing each other in the north and south at this time, just like when Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao in history, then Xinye can be used as the northern barrier of Xiangyang.
Of course, now that Jingzhou is monopolized by the Chu State, Xinye has returned to its original position as a small county.
However, just in Xinye, there are a lot of people who Bai Tu wants to visit, Pang Tong's uncle Pang Degong, at this time he lives in seclusion in a Zhuangzi between Xinye and Huyang counties......
Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui usually lives in Xiangyang, but before in Xiangyang, Bai Tu did not see this, it is said that he went to visit a friend, and the "friend" of this visit is Pang Degong.
Pang Degong is a native of Jingzhou, and Pang's ancestral land is in Xiangyang, but Pang Degong was annoyed by Liu Biao before, so he moved north a little.
Sima Hui was born in Yingchuan Sima, unless archaeology, it has little to do with Hanoi Sima, and lived in Jingzhou during the war in the Central Plains......
These two are both today's top-level celebrities and hermits, both of them are old, and they don't like to be officials, and there is a big difference between them and celebrities like Hua Xin and Guan Ning, and Bai Tu also doesn't have much hope for the two themselves.
However, Pang Degong and Sima Hui, in addition to their own cultivation, virtue, and learning, are also famous for their good opinions on the world and good relationships.
On the one hand, the two are willing to promote the future, and on the other hand, it is also because they, like Xu Shao, are willing to comment on current affairs, and comment on the talents or cutting-edge talents in the world, so they ...... I know a lot of future generations!
For example, Pang Tong was discovered by Pang Degong, and he relied on Pang Degong's sentence "The Crown of Nanzhou Scholars" to open up his popularity, although he ...... After that, he was still disgusted by Zhou Yu.
Before Liu Biao became the pastor of Jingzhou, as a standard celebrity, he had a lot of common language with them, and when the party was in trouble, Liu Biao was convicted and absconded because he usually talked too much.
It's just that after Liu Biao became the pastor of Jingzhou, he joined forces with the Nanjun Shi clan and became interested, so Sima Hui and Pang Degong were very alienated from him.
Bai Tu doesn't have many ideas about Pang Degong and Sima Hui, but he is optimistic about their students and New Year's friends!
But you still have to take it step by step, you can't eat in the bowl or look at the pot, at least...... You have to finish eating before you add it.
Bai Tu rested in Xinye for a day, and the next day began to be a rainbow local official, which was the same before, so as not to go directly to the wilderness, so that the officials who had already served felt left out.
Compared with Nanjun, the replacement rate of local officials in Nanyang counties is much higher.
In Nanjun, Chu State also has to worry about easily replacing too many people, which may cause a backlash, and in Nanyang...... Originally, this place was scattered, and the Nanjun Shi clan "infiltrated" here at most, and the Jingzhou Mansion never fully mastered Nanyang.
Otherwise, he would not have given Wancheng to Zhang Xiu to garrison the army......
Since the troubled times, many counties in Nanyang have been occupied by local wealthy families, especially last year, many local wealthy families in Nanyang, in the case of surrendering to Zhang Xiu first, defected to Jingzhou Mansion and engaged in a wave of rebellion.
As a result, Jingzhou Mansion took the first step to "dedicate the state", and this part of the local wealthy families in Nanyang was also very embarrassed, and was severely suppressed by the Chu State, and many wealthy families with a bad reputation were liquidated, and a large number of grassroots officials were stationed, and the armed forces raised by the wealthy families were basically all disarmed, and Huang Zhong and others were ordered to retrain new soldiers here!
When Bai Tu was in the counties of Nanyang in the rainbow, he also found that there were many grassroots officials with Jiangdong accents, and the focus was also on these young people who went to work in other places.
Compared with Nanjun, the Chu State from Baitu to Liubu, the desire to control Nanyang is obviously stronger, on the one hand, the previous rebellion, which made the Chu court have a mustard, or ...... There is an excuse, on the other hand, it is also because Nanyang is important!
As Liu Xiu's hometown, Nanyang County is not only the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty in terms of prosperity, with a population of half of Jingzhou, but also in terms of topography, Nanyang, like Huainan, is the key point between the north and the south!
If there is a war between the north and the south, there are basically three key areas - Hanzhong, Nanyang, and Huainan, corresponding to "Yizhou vs Kansai", "Jingzhou vs Yuzhou", "Yangzhou vs Xuzhou"......
Whoever can hold these three springboards will have the initiative and the right to choose!
In history, Shu Han had Hanzhong, so he could use the power of a state to jump horizontally in various ways.
And the seemingly stronger Soochow ...... The middle road was choked by Xiangfan, the east road was choked by Hefei, and the 100,000 troops went north several times but did not grab it, and failed to pose any threat to the north.
Now that Chu has the second, Huainan is rich in water systems, and the north should have little idea about going south from Hefei, so in terms of defensive strategic deployment, Nanyang is the top priority of Chu - consistent with the judgment of the Nanjun scholars before.
In terms of the dispute planning of the Chu State, as a large city close to the Central Plains, or even already in the Central Plains......
Wancheng in Nanyang, for a long time, will still be the concept of "military city", with the Wancheng defense line as a barrier, and the southern part of Nanyang can also develop military-based industrialization and directly counterpart to the front line.
Shouchun in Huainan will be an important trade hub for Chu to open to the north in addition to coastal ports, and it will also be a window to show the strength of Chu to the people of the Central Plains, which will be mainly civil and commercial.
Huainan because of the previous disaster of Dazhong, when Bai Tu took over, it was almost a blank piece of paper, and the local wealthy families either migrated or shrunk, so they were mastered by the Chu court very thoroughly, with a little new policy and new law implemented, Huainan responded to the township at a speed that was not slower than that of Wu County and Danyang, and there was no need to worry too much.
In contrast, the Chu court's "desire to control" Nanyang can be understood......
