Section 10 Garrison
"Erlang, I think we can talk to the Chen family, the Huang family, and the Tan family again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Cui Shang also seemed to have been brewing for a long time before he spoke.
"Talk about it, do you think they will change their attitude?" Jiang Feng was indifferent, with his hands behind his back, watching a few soldiers under the city wall beating a few not very honest homeless people, this kind of thing was happening every day.
"It is impossible to completely change, but I think it can be eased, if we can reveal some of the land distribution of the Tang Dynasty and Huoshan, I think it can alleviate their hostility to a great extent, and it is also conducive to promoting the policy of land seizure. Cui Shang sighed, there are a lot of problems here, and Erlang still thinks about the problem too simply.
"This winter is not good, even if we can get some more grain in Daliang and Nanyang, but next year if these displaced people want to drive to Shengtang and Huoshan, there will be many problems, where will their seeds and animal power come from? And they will have to stay up until the summer harvest to harvest, where will the rations come from during this period? Also, now that the Tang Dynasty and Huoshan have basically been looted and burned to a white ground, at least grass houses to shelter from the wind and rain will be built, and now these homeless people have nothing, without the support of these gentry and clans, these things cannot be done well by the government alone, and the effect will be much worse. ā
Jiang Feng was silent.
He knew that what Cui Shang said was reasonable, and he wanted to drive the displaced people to Sheng Tang and Huoshan, which have now turned into white land, to enrich them, this idea was good, but it was too idealistic.
This matter cannot be done by relying on the manpower of the government alone, which requires a large number of people who are familiar with and have certain organizational and management skills and experience to take the lead, and also needs a large number of materials to guarantee.
It's just that he wants to make concessions on the inspection ground, which Jiang Feng is unwilling to do, and now in this stalemate, whoever puts it forward first will have the upper hand.
Of course, Cui Shang's proposal to let the big clans of Chen and Tan exchange the familiar land of Gushi and Yincheng for the land of Shengtang and Huoshan is also a way, of course, this requires some concessions on the conditions.
"Bai Ling, I know what you mean, we have to wait, we can't give in so easily, otherwise we will be more passive in the future. Jiang Feng's eyebrows were a little more rebellious, and his tone gradually became resolute.
"I can't be too close to them, I think the Xu family and the Ju family may come to us, at that time I think the Chen family and the Tan family will be busy, and at that time, if we come to give them such a step, they will be more acceptable, and some conditions will be more suitable." ā
Cui Shang thought about it for a while, and felt that Jiang Feng's opinion was more secure.
This is related to the dominance after the establishment of Huzhou in the future, and Cui Shang is of course unwilling to be taken away by the local gentry such as Chen and Tan, and uses outsiders such as Xu and Ju to suppress the local gentry such as Chen and Tan, and fight poison with poison, so as to find a balance.
"Then Erlang might as well finalize the food problem in Daliang and Nanyang earlier, so that Chen Tan's family can also be weaker, and when the Xu family and the Ju family's clansmen come over, I think they will be willing to compromise." Cui Shang thought for a while, "In addition, it is also appropriate to create some incidents, such as the soldiers making trouble after drinking, and demanding that the gentry's land be confiscated and distributed to them,......"
Jiang Feng laughed, a literati is a literati, as long as he is willing to use means, he is definitely better than ordinary martial artists.
was about to praise Cui Shang for a few words, but saw Zhang Wanshan lead Yang Kan, whose face had not fully recovered, to come over, and hurriedly took a few steps forward: "Qilang, why did you come up to the wall? Didn't you say that you would rest for a few more days? With Zhang Yue here, you still can't let go?"
"I'm not at ease in bed. Yang Kan couldn't help but shake his head, "I've slept for so long, my bones are itchy, and if I don't get up again, I feel like I'm about to be wasted, Erlang, you and Bai Ling are here, I have a suggestion." ā
"Oh? Jiang Feng still attaches great importance to Yang Kan's opinion, but Yang Kan's body has not fully recovered during this time, so he has no good time to disturb the other party.
"I see that the number of displaced people outside the north and south city gates is increasing day by day, and now it is estimated that there are fifty or sixty thousand, plus there are tens of thousands of people in the city, and there are not so many people just to repair the moat and city walls, and they will do nothing here this winter, we must always take care that they do not starve to death, in this case, why don't we form two armies anymore?"
Yang Kan's words startled Jiang Feng and Cui Shang, and now the six or seven thousand troops are no longer able to bear it, and the formation of two more armies will not cost more than 10,000 troops, but I have seen that there are more than 10,000 troops in the land of the two counties, can you hold it?
Seeing Jiang Feng and Cui Shang's worries, Yang Kan shook his head: "I mean to set up a tun army in Gushi and Yincheng, and to build a tun army on the spot, and you are also planning to take back a batch of land to the officers and men of the army, so it is better to use this method to let these tun troops plant these lands first, and by the way, let the tun army first carry out basic training when the farming is slack, and when the conditions for the establishment of a new army are ripe, they can be enriched immediately, and it is much stronger than learning and adapting to the army again, once the war starts, the losses will be much lighter." ā
Yang Kan's suggestion made Jiang Feng and Cui Shang's eyes light up.
This suggestion is very practical and valuable.
This is somewhat similar to the Tuntian method during the Cao Wei period of the Three Kingdoms, of course, it is much smaller in scale, and it is a way of cultivating mature fields, which is not so labor-intensive, so that you can have more energy to focus on training, and at the same time you can take care of protecting the land that should be assigned to the soldiers.
This will also stimulate the enthusiasm of these new recruits for training, because these lands belong to the soldiers, and they can also receive this kind of treatment in the future if they behave well.
Jiang Feng and Cui Shang looked at each other and smiled, obviously moved, but the negotiations with the big clans of Chen and Tan were about to be accelerated, and they couldn't be delayed.
"I think Qilang's suggestion is feasible, build two tun armies, only 5,000 people, they will consume food if they stay outside the city, it is better to go to tuntian for training, the army in Yincheng can just enrich the defense, and there is relatively more raw land in the south over there, and it can also be reclaimed. Cui Shang moved and supported.
If you can recruit a tun army from this homeless people, plus their family members, it is estimated that it should be around 10,000 people, and move to Yincheng, which can greatly reduce the pressure on Gushi's side, and at the same time enrich the southern area of Yincheng for reclamation.
Yincheng County is relatively few people, the south is close to the Dabie Mountains, although there are many births, many mountains, but in general the public security is good, and the south is also the three passes of the Dabie Mountains in Huangzhou, safe and sound, as long as they can ensure that they have the necessary expenses for the food, seeds, and animal power between the winter and the summer harvest next year, these people can gain a foothold in the south of Yincheng, and it can be regarded as enriching the basic plate of Gushi.
Jiang Feng was also moved, as the number of displaced people from the east and north increased, Gushi was already a little unbearable, not only food, but all kinds of problems emerged.
In particular, fights between displaced people from various counties in Yingzhou and Shouzhou over porridge and rice occur almost every day, and the inspection side cannot control it, and if a group can be moved, it can also reduce the pressure.
It's just that two cantonment armies are to be formed, and the necessary winter clothes, leather armor, weapons and other materials are indispensable, and it is a big expense.
Jiang Feng thought about it for a while, and then made a decision: "I think it is feasible, if this is the case, it must be started as soon as possible, but the tun army is also an army, on the one hand, it is necessary to have armor and weapons, and on the other hand, it is necessary to transfer some officers to organize, this has to be discussed carefully, Qilang, since you have made this suggestion, you have to take a few people out of the first army, and then enrich a group of old soldiers to bring the area." ā
Yang Kan didn't shirk, "Erlang, Li Tong has already brought people back to Daliang, I estimate that he will be able to bring a group of people back within two months at most, at this time, the first army can draw some officers to form these two tun armies, but after the people brought by Li Tong come back, they must give priority to supplementing the first army." ā
After deciding to form two infantry armies, the tooth army, and the cavalry army, Jiang Feng arranged Li Tong, who had not been assigned a position, to bring people back to Daliang to carry out large-scale recruitment again.
The main direction of attack of recruitment is still the original Guangsheng Army and the Dragon and Tiger Army's dismissal of officers and veterans, because these two armies are victims of the battle for the throne of Daliang, the Guangsheng Army is involved in the current battle for the throne of Daliang, and the Dragon and Tiger Army is involved in the current Liang King Zhu Yun's battle for the throne at that time.
In a sense, these belong to a group of people who have been defeated and can no longer turn over, it is already very good to be able to not be held accountable, but to Gushi is considered to have stepped into another world, especially now that the Gushi Army has repelled the Caizhou Army, the reputation has risen, and these people who originally looked down on the Gushi Army If they learn the news of the possible establishment of Huzhou, I believe that they can attract many talents to Gushi.
This is also Chang Kun's suggestion to him, which can not only eliminate some potential hidden dangers for Daliang, but also avoid being interfered with by Daliang, after all, these people go to Gushi to work hard, and they can be regarded as breaking away from Daliang, as for the current situation of Gushijun, it is not worth worrying about Daliang.
Li Tong is a member of the Li Yan clan, Li Yan, Li Si'an, Li Tangbin, and Li Hanzhi are the famous "Four Lis" in the Great Liang Army, although these "Four Lis" are not the same family, but the "Four Lis" have their own forces in the Great Liang Army, among which the Li Yan family is the most powerful, and Li Tong is the son of the Li Yan family.
The children of the concubine are also the children of the Li family, and their family influence is huge, and Li Tong has been keen and studious since he was a child, and he has a talent for martial arts, and he has joined the Guangsheng Army since he was a child. (To be continued.) )
