Chapter 896: The mood for war is strong

Half a year has passed in a flash, and it has entered May at this time, and the weather is beginning to warm up, and it is the harvest season.

(Popularize the knowledge, the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River in the ancient north and Shandong, the beginning of summer is the harvest season every year, not autumn, the north wheat and south rice, the wheat planted is winter wheat, the planting begins around September of the lunar calendar every year, and the harvest begins around May of the second year, only outside the Great Wall, which is the so-called northeast, is planted with spring wheat, spring planting and autumn harvest.) If you have readers in Hebei and Shandong, you should know that after the winter wheat is harvested, food crops such as millet, yellow rice, beans, and sorghum will be planted, and these crops will be harvested in autumn. )

(PS, the so-called northern after the autumn harvest into the slack is a calf, since the Shang Dynasty began to introduce wheat into China, it has gradually become the most productive grain crop is mainly planted, so in the autumn period, it is the busy time for farming, only after the first snow falls, is the slack season.) )

(PS2, all ancient autumn is the season to wage war because farming is also nonsense, part of the reason is that there is plenty of grain and grass after the autumn harvest, but the main reason is that the autumn is high and cool, not easy to get sick, the highest mortality rate in ancient wars has never been the battlefield, but the various diseases caused by tetanus and large-scale population gathering after the war, a diarrhea may make a battlefield suddenly defeated, of course, the most serious is the plague, spring and summer are the most common periods of disease, so it is not suitable for waging war, The incidence rate is low in autumn and winter, and the wound is not easily infected and inflamed, so it is more suitable for waging war. )

(PS3, it is precisely because wars mostly occur in autumn, and autumn is the busy agricultural season, that the cost of war is extremely high due to large-scale requisition of people, and the damage to production and life is great, so there is the saying that warlike will die.) )

(How should I use it with a little knowledge?) Of course, I went to other places to pretend to be a good force! )

At this time, the whole north is the calmest and busiest time, everyone is busy harvesting wheat, hurrying to dry before the rainy season arrives, but compared to the busy situation of previous years, this year is much easier.

Wang Xuan's invention of the 'threshing machine' has been popularized in Qingzhou before, this time a large area to promote the entire northern region of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River basin, coupled with the cement laying drying site, saving a lot of labor and time at the same time, to the wheat final 'pulp' time to continue out for a full week, just this week's time, so that the overall grain production increased by one percent!

In addition to the water conservancy facilities that have been vigorously renovated and the more advanced agricultural tools distributed in advance, the grain output of the entire north of the Yellow River this year has increased by nearly 30 percent compared with previous years, which can be described as a rare bumper harvest.

Such a good year, for Liu Bei's rule also has a vital role, no matter how much auspicious, no matter how much, it can't catch up with the persuasiveness of a good year, in the ancient times of the people to eat as the sky, the new ruler came to power at the same time there is a good year, that is the biggest symbol of the Ming Jun.

This year is a rare good year in the past ten years in the entire Han Dynasty, and most of the places in the world are a bumper harvest year, and then this east wind, first Cao Cao, and then Liu Zhang successively called the king.

Cao Cao's self-proclaimed King of Wei has not caused much turmoil, and Liu Zhang has actually called the King of Hanzhong, which is obviously doing something.

The king of Hanzhong, but Liu Bang was on the throne before he was called the emperor, and calling him the king of Hanzhong is tantamount to boasting that he can reach the height of Liu Bang in the future, and I don't know who gave Liu Zhang the bad idea, and he dared to be so arrogant, not to mention, since Liu Zhang Zhang Lu, Zhang Lu has already stood on his own in Hanzhong...... Therefore, this basically means that Liu Zhang is going to go to Hanzhong.

In addition, Liu Biao did not resist the pressure in the end, and finally reached a compromise with the family under his rule and proclaimed himself the Marquis of Nan, which was lower than Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others, but also showed that it was an independent party.

As for Sun Ce's side, at this moment, there are still Huiji County that has not been pacified, not to mention those Shanyue people who often run out of the mountains, and when the territory is not pacified, they have not joined in this excitement and are still developing obscenely.

In the end, it was Yuan Shu, who really called himself the emperor directly, setting a precedent after the Han Dynasty, completely isolating himself and becoming an existence that everyone shouted at.

Anyway, Cao Cao published an article as soon as Yuan Shu became the emperor, to crusade against Yuan Shu, Liu Biao was not to be outdone, although his body was already old, but he still made a rotten voice, and it was rare to support Cao Cao once.

"Zaizhi, this Yuan Shu is the emperor, what should we do? Send troops to fight Yuan Shu? Liu Bei privately called Wang Xuan again for advice, "Yuan Shu is ambitious, as the heir of the Han family, it's not good for me to stand idly by!" ”

Wang Xuan looked at Liu Bei carefully, pouted and said directly: "To be honest, is there anyone who is making a fuss about asking for war?" ”

"Uh...... Hehe. Liu Bei's face showed embarrassment, and he sneered: "It's still clear." ”

"What's so good about this, except for the little place in the south of Nanyang, other positions don't match Yuan Shu at all, how can you go on an expedition to Yuan Shu, who asked for the battle, is there a brain disease!"

The corners of Liu Bei's mouth twitched, he also felt that it was a bit stupid to fight now, although the construction of Zhending New Town in Changshan County has been completed, and the current governance office has been relocated here, but other places are still in a period of crazy construction, and the cement road that runs through the north and south must also be in line with Qingzhou, and the infrastructure construction in various places is in full swing, and the manpower is a little unable to keep up, and it is really not a good time to start a war now.

But the problem is that the wave of this war is a bit big, that is, as the lord, he also doesn't know whether to suppress it.

"They are all asking for war, from bottom to top, it is the second brother and the third brother, Brother Bogui and Lu Bu are all asking for war, and in the whole army, the mood for war is strong." Liu Bei said with a wry smile.

Wang Xuan's brows furrowed, half loud, and he also figured out what was going on.

Now it is not better than in the past, in the past, when I was a soldier and ate food, just to eat well, I had to fight, and now I am a soldier for meritorious service, not to mention what kind of glory to protect the family and defend the country, just the treatment after being a soldier is much better than that of farmers who farm, not to mention, the reward after meritorious service is more generous than when it was in Daqin, plus the equipment combat power far exceeds that of all the surrounding princes, it is not uncommon to have such a situation.

Not to mention anything else, Yuan Shaojun, Lu Bujun, and Gongsun Zhanjun, who were incorporated half a year ago, have now been unified together, but the original Qingzhou soldiers are far more treated and rewarded in all aspects than these newcomers, and they compare together every day, so it's strange not to be envious.

Not to mention that if you don't fight, you won't have merit, and if you don't have merit, you can't be promoted, officers at all levels in the army see that the army has been trained so elite that they can't be more elite, and there are so many other forces around, it's just a group of walking credits, how can you endure it after a long time.

The new military system has given Liu Bei's forces some initial signs of ****, and this kind of enthusiasm is what Wang Xuan wants to see, and it must not be suppressed back.

In addition, in the past six months, those families in various places who have decided to move have basically completed all aspects of preparation in the past six months, and they are about to start moving, and those who have moved south are okay, the Cui family and a few other families started to act a little bit a few months ago, but there is no progress in the north now, and the target land is still in the hands of foreigners, so it can't be stopped.

For both military and political reasons, Wang Xuan had no way to stop it.
