Chapter 36 The New Army
readx;?? In mid-March 210 B.C., spring had inadvertently arrived. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info(.. [Starter]
Spring in this sense, of course, does not refer to the Spring Festival, and there is no such thing at this time.
It also does not refer to solar terms such as the spring solstice, at this time, Daqin has not yet completely divided the twenty-four solar terms.
Of course, why did Zhang Jiashi know about this? It was very simple, because the farmers in the farm were convicts and had already begun to sow seeds in the farm.
Zhang Jiashi received three orders from Xianyang a few days ago.
The first one, the harvest in the farm, Ying Zheng finally showed his attitude, he did not ask for the harvest of hundreds or thousands of stones in his eyes, but ordered the harvest to be used on the prisoners at the construction site of Afang Palace.
For this order, Zhang Jiashi was surprised, but at the same time felt that it was taken for granted.
This is not a contradiction, but what Zhang Jiashi was surprised about was that Ying Zheng would actually let these harvests be used on the prisoners, and took it for granted, if Ying Zheng paid attention to these grains, it would be a strange thing.
Although Ying Zheng's childhood experience was not good, he also knew that many emperors did not know about the suffering of the people. Therefore, although Ying Zheng pursued the rule of law, Ying Zheng made partial changes to many laws and decrees for the head of the Qian, who was registered as a farmer.
To a large extent, China's historical environment of valuing agriculture over commerce began to be established in the Qin Dynasty.
Of course, farmers get a lot of benefits that they can't see, but actually exist, and naturally some people will be unlucky.
In this regard, although Daqin did not inhibit the development of commerce, many times the merchants could only wear coarse linen clothes to make a living when they had a lot of money in their pockets.
Such a thing is certainly not as good as the oppressive environment for merchants in later generations, especially in the early Ming Dynasty, but it can also be seen.
Zhang Jiashi speculated maliciously: "Is this very directly related to Lu Buwei, a rather unlucky guy?"
Hawkers, Lu Buwei's little, in addition to a lot of conjecture, some things are true.
Especially with Yingzheng's character, it is impossible for him to continue to call Lü Buwei his middle father after he holds the power alone, and he knows it with his knees.
In fact, even if Lü Buwei really didn't have the intention of rebellion, his high merit was enough for Lü Buwei to die a hundred times......
Therefore, there are many reasons why Yingzheng will not care about such a little food.
......
Of course, Zhang Jiashi would not say that he asked a certain brother-in-law to recruit a team of professionals recruited by Zhang Jiashi in the Great Qin Empire Professionals Center in Xianyang in the caravan to Saiwai.
Zhang Jiashi has his own plans for doing this. That's what he wants these professionals to find.
That's cotton.
Although there is no information to explain it, cotton was introduced to the countries of the Western Regions at this time. But Zhang Jiashi hopes to be able to gamble on his RP.
Cotton is much more important at this time than any high-yielding crop.
Although Daqin does not have any high-yield crops, the large-scale cattle farming system and the vigorous development of the water conservancy system have made Daqin's crop yield directly rely on the original production capacity to increase.
Cotton is different, once cotton is planted on a large scale in China, then those leather robes or silk garments that have no warmth effect can be thrown on the street.
Mai has a certain warmth effect, but the production level of Mai also cannot support people to wear it as bloated as "Iron Man" to resist the low temperature.
The most important point is that the current high-yield products are probably still in the land of the Mayans and their ancestors, and they don't know how to stay in that remote corner. Perhaps there was already a relatively primitive Mayan culture at this time, but Zhang Jiashi did not have the strength to organize a voyage fleet at this time, crossing the Pacific Ocean or circumambulating the Bering Strait, along the Rocky-Andes Mountains in the Americas, to Central America and South America.
Even if someone is not afraid of death and is willing to accomplish such an initiative......
Well, Zhang Jiashi himself didn't think it might succeed.
Therefore, out of many considerations, Zhang Jiashi planned to see if there was cotton in the Western Regions countries now.
......
Zhang Jiashi's title and position, the Great Qin Law Decree allowed to raise a certain number of disciples and guards. Of course, Daqin will not be responsible for such a financial expenditure. And Zhang Jiashi learned from Chen Ping's mouth that the officials of Daqin would more or less engage in business to balance some additional expenses.
This is Zhang Jiashi's professional headquarters in the Great Qin Empire, a large building located outside the southeast of Xianyang City, recruiting a small professional disciple army of about ten people.
Zhang Jiashi handed over such a thing to the housekeeper to do, and as a result, the latter completed this matter within a few days.
Of course, for the time being, Zhang Jiashi has to be responsible for the expenses of these professional doormen.
Zhang Jiashi saw that he had to be divided into one-third of the year's salary, so he almost didn't have a bitter face. Of course, there are policies and countermeasures. Under the operation of Chen Ping, these professionals were appointed by Zhang Jiashi as officers of the personal guard troops, and the four low-level mages and warlocks became Zhang Jiashi's battalion medical workers.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi knew very well that if he did this, the Great Qin Communist Master who was sitting in Xianyang Palace naturally knew a thing or two. He ignored Zhang Jiashi, the main thing was nothing more than two factors.
One is the officials of Daqin, as long as the status is not too low or the treatment is too poor, they will more or less have their own customers. Some big businessmen are no exception. Even the guards of the Yu family, many high-ranking warriors, many of them were recruited by the Yu family.
Ying Zheng has long been blind to this matter, and Zhang Jiashi, who is just a bastard in his eyes, is just a small fight.
The second point is that Ying Zheng doesn't think that these dozen or so disciples can do anything. Many of Daqin's disciples are low-level professionals. These professionals may be absconding criminals, but as long as they are not found in person, Ying Zheng is also in no mood to care about these small things.
Therefore, after reading this secret note, Ying Zheng threw this thing directly into the fire.
After all, if Zhang Jiashi really didn't do anything, then he would be even more uneasy.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
The second order that Zhang Jiashi received was that the prisoner army formed by Zhang Jiashi was ordered by Yingzheng to increase the establishment and become the superintendent of the construction site of Afang Palace.
Zhang Jiashi didn't understand why Ying Zheng had such an idea, because in his previous conversation with Chen Ping, he could know that these people could not be arranged together, because it was easy to directly do bad things.
But after Zhang Jiashi communicated such a thing with Chen Ping and others, Zhang Jiashi got a situation that surprised him. That is, Chen Ping said something that made him stunned for a long time: "Your Majesty, this should be the lesser of two evils." ”
Zhang Jiashi didn't know, but he still wrote a note and sent someone to the Xianyang Palace.
As a result, Ying Zheng just sent someone to send an edict this time:
"That's your business. This command is what you have to execute. ”
Yes, in the face of this ultimate BSS, what else does Zhang Jiashi have to say?
As a result, Zhang Jiashi pulled more than a dozen, including more than a dozen cronies including the mastermind Chen Ping, and after discussing for a night, he came up with several ways to deal with it.
First, the specifications of the first batch of convict troops remained unchanged, and the number of convicts remained unchanged either, and they continued to serve as an auxiliary unit of the Afang Duwei army.
Second, an army of about 3,000 convicts will be formed, and the 2,000 Afang Du Lieutenant army that needs to be rotated will jointly assist in the management of the more than 100,000 convicts in Shanglin Yuan.
However, due to many considerations, Zhang Jiashi decided not to distribute formal weapons and equipment, but to give these second convict troops responsible for the defense of the Afang Palace construction site, but to equip them with a large wooden long stick as the equipment they managed.
In fact, Zhang Jiashi was not jokingly joked by Bai Qi: "You are a ...... Daqin's version of chengguan?"
Zhang Jiashi wiped a fine sweat from the corner of his forehead after hearing Bai Qi's words, and said with confidence: "Well, it should be more like a riot guard or something." Well, that's right, that's it. ”
Zhang Jiashi would not admit it so easily and directly, he really planned to train these prisoners to become site managers.
Neither Zhang Jiashi nor Bai Qi thought that this convict army, which was similar to the nature of chengguan, was just a gangster army that could not be put on the table in the eyes of Duo Bu and Li Cang, and it would actually become the main framework of the convict army in the hands of Zhang Han in the future.
Compared with the Beidi Prisoner Army, which was formed by Duo Bu and others who later fused with the garrison prisoners north of the Great Wall and formed an extremely strict military discipline, Zhang Han's prisoner army was just a group of scum who looked scary in number, but could only play "playing house".
In a sense, the opinion of Duo Bu and others is not unreasonable, because during the reign of Qin II, the prisoner army under Duo Bu was sent outside the city wall many times by Zhang Jiashi to do something that the two nomadic countries of Donghu and Xiongnu liked to do.
Of course, it was the Donghu people and the Huns who were unlucky this time......
Zhang Jiashi did not complain about these prisoner soldiers who were actually acting on his orders.
It's not that Duo Bu and others implemented the "three lights" policy for these alien tribes: the men were killed, the women, the cattle, sheep and horses were all robbed, and they could not be taken away or burned directly if they were not.
Rather, one day, Zhang Jiashi returned to his new home in Jiuyuan County, Yingxi and other wives and concubines, looking at a beautiful Hu woman who was sent by Duo Bu and others and was tightly bound, and then looked at him with all kinds of eyes, the extremely innocent Zhang Jiashi only said one sentence: "Duo Bu! Li Cang! You two bastards did a good thing!!
That's an afterword.
......
Now that he has thought of countermeasures, after giving his ideas to Yingzheng, Zhang Jiashi directly made arrangements for the transfer again.
This new group of convicts built a small military camp to the south of the Afang Palace construction site, and built an additional set of guard towers near the construction site.
Zhang Jiashi intended to hand over the command of these prisoner armies to one of the people in the division of Di Bu and Li Cang. However, Duo Bu and Li Cang were not happy about such a thing.
Faced with such a situation, Zhang Jiashi had no choice but to let Chen Ping and others continue to think of a way.
As a result, Wang Ling, who seemed to be a relatively free staff, was appointed by Zhang Jiashi as the chief officer of this group of prisoners.
Looking at Wang Ling, whose face was bitter, Zhang Jiashi was still a little reluctant. However, he didn't expect that Cao Shen, who also had a bitter face a few days ago and was driven by Zhang Jiashi to be the supervisor of the forest, looked at Wang Ling with a gloating face: "Come on, I finally have a companion...... Ahh
As a result, Wang Ling, who was in a very unhappy mood, directly punched Cao Shen in the face......
Zhang Jiashi was about to stop this kind of thing from continuing, but saw Xiao He shaking his head.
"Huh?" Zhang Jiashi stopped his movements, he knew very well that Xiao He did this, of course, there was a reason for him.
Well, after Wang Ling finished venting, he put his arm around the shoulders of Cao Shen, who also had a blue face, and walked out of Zhang Jiashi's tent step by step.
Zhang Jiashi, who was stunned by this matter, heard Xiao He as if nothing had happened, and said a sentence: "The two of them are like this, adults don't need to mind." ”
Zhang Jiashi looked at Xiao He, who had a calm face, in disbelief, and the latter continued: "Your Excellency may not know that in the Peixian County Government, the two of them can stage this scene almost every month. Then they all went on drinking together as if they were all right. ”
"......" Zhang Jiashi was stunned for a while before shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "Is this one of the big gossips that has not been recorded in history?"
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
The third thing, for Zhang Jiashi, is the most important thing, that is, Ying Zheng plans to hold a spring hunt in the Shanglin Hunting Ground in the middle of next month.
Zhang Jiashi knows very well that this spring hunt will be the biggest turning point in his life.
However, what Zhang Jiashi also did not expect, that is, the position of the forest supervisor, determined that he would become a very alternative transportation administrator in the rest of March.
That's right, a large number of animals and beasts captured or purchased from all over the Great Qin were transported to Xianyang through various roads, and then, directly from a temporary transfer station outside the city, directly to the periphery of Shanglin Yuan.
Zhang Jiashi rode on the red cloud, looking at one or a team of cage cars transporting tigers, leopards, wolves and bears from time to time, and slowly came to the outside of Zhang Jiashi's barracks.
After settling with the soldiers of Neishi County or the personnel of the Guard Army, a large number of animals were escorted to several special stocking sites in the Shanglin hunting ground by the soldiers under the command of Zhang Jiashi, and then released.
The appearance of these animals frightened the "original inhabitants" of the forest hunting ground, which can be said to be all kinds of chickens and dogs, wolves and pigs.
Of course, the roar of tigers and wolves also sounded in the mountains and forests from time to time, which was a very lively thing.
Hawkers, but for these Qin officers and soldiers, it's not so good.
After many fierce beasts were released, they directly pounced on them before the officers and soldiers under Zhang Jiashi's command who were used to drive away the beasts had any reaction.
After paying some modest costs one after another, many of the beasts were either beaten away or killed outright.
Zhang Jiashi looked at the attendants of Xianyang Palace not far away speechlessly, constantly recording something, he knew that His Majesty would still see these records.
As for why there is such a record? Zhang Jiashi did not know the detailed reason, but only understood that such a record was not a bad thing on this occasion.
The beasts that were killed were transported back to Xianyang by these servants and sold for a good price.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi, who is in a stocking location, is not without benefits at all.
After a Zhonglang brought by an inner servant skillfully staged a scene of Ding Ding relieving the tiger, Zhang Jiashi looked at the tiger skin with a very strong smell of blood and a few holes. After he knew that this tiger skin was given to him, he reluctantly asked a personal guard to take this tiger skin.
The chamberlain that Zhang Jiashi saw for the first time said: "Zhang Duwei, this is the first time that Your Majesty has rewarded the forest supervisor with a tiger skin. Well, although there are some openings, it can still be used if you find a skilled female worker and repair it. ”
Well, is this a premeditated plan to murder a wild animal?
Zhang Jiashi looked helplessly at the hundreds of officers and soldiers under his command who were waiting for him, and subconsciously ignored a little:
That is, once those tigers, leopards, bears and wolves turn around and run over uninterestingly, what awaits them will be at least a dozen weapons of all kinds......
And this tiger skin is the thing that was stripped off from the carcass of a tiger that looks the best in this stocking site where Zhang Jiashi is.
......
What Zhang Jiashi, who was holding the tiger skin that had been washed and sewn clean and sewn up, thinking about where it should be hung, did not know that Ying Zheng in Xianyang Palace saw the income statistics in the above table this time, as well as a tiger skin that had been pierced with more than six holes, and couldn't help but roar loudly: "You bastard, you know that you can't get along with my money!"
Ying Zheng's roar is not something for no reason. Because, this year, the income in this area, because of Zhang Jiashi's strict preparation, many dead beasts could not buy a good price.
Well, you can't expect that there are more than 20 bloodletting slots on a bear skin, and what value is there.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
On the day before the spring hunt, Zhang Jiashi did not return to the mansion in Shuangyi, but rested in the barracks.
On this night, Zhang Jiashi summoned all his subordinates, including Cao Shen and Wang Ling, and after explaining in detail, he asked all the personnel under his command to go back to prepare with a nervous mood.
As the sun set in the west, the officers and men who had stopped training at noon were lining up to eat. Zhang Jiashi walked silently on the school grounds, thinking about what tomorrow would be.
