Chapter 21: Change
After the potter's problem was dealt with, everyone knew that the main event was coming.
First of all, Tian Feng stroked the long beard under Zhang Lang's signal, and came out and talked eloquently: "The Tao merchant's poisoning of Tao Gong has been investigated and punished heavily, the culprit Cao Bao Xu Tan and other ambushes, this matter can be over, but Xuzhou can not be said to be ownerless, if the surrounding powers take this opportunity to invade my Xuzhou, it is bound to be dangerous, now General Zhang Lang broke the yellow scarf in front of him, and then defeated Cao Ying, and Tao Gong is recognized, and he is specially entrusted with a heavy task, and he can take this post to calm the people. β
Originally, Tian Feng was a small official, and he had no right to speak in front of all the senior officials in Xuzhou, but he was a senior shogunate under Zhang Lang, and his words represented Zhang Lang's meaning, so everyone did not refute it.
After hearing this, the civil and military attachΓ©s whispered to each other, but no one dared to respond.
Seeing this, some smiles appeared on his handsome face, and he saw Zhang Lang's eyes on himself, knowing that it was time to make a move, he said with a smile: "Mr. Tian's words are very good at me, General Zhang is eloquent and strategic, and diligent and loves the people. β
As soon as Mi Zhu's words came out, all the officials knew that he was on Zhang Lang's side and supported him as a state pastor.
The form is very beneficial to Zhang Lang.
At this time, Chen Deng also stood up to speak, obviously he was guided by his father, his face was expressionless, but he said very powerfully: "What Lord Zizhong said is that Xuzhou is a place where soldiers must fight, connecting the north and the south, and all ambitious surnames are ignored. β
As soon as these words came out, two of the three major families in Xuzhou supported Zhang Lang, and all civil officials began to echo the voice. There are also some wavering people, looking at Zhao Yu, who was transferred back to Xuzhou a few days ago, everyone knows that he is loyal and upright, not afraid of power, see what he has to say.
Zhao Yu saw that someone was looking like himself, and he knew that he should also express his position, so he said in a low voice: "Think about the fact that Xiaopei defeated Cao's army of 300,000 with 60,000 before, who else in Xuzhou can achieve such a great achievement, General Zhang can get this important responsibility, and he is also very much in favor of it." β
Zhang Lang was secretly refreshed, it seemed that Mi Zhu had done a good job.
In this way, the three major families all support Zhang Lang, and he has a heavy army, and all the officials are no different, agreeing together.
In the second year of the first peace, in the winter of 192 A.D., Tao Qian of Xuzhou was killed and died, and Zhang Lang, the general of Yamen, led Xuzhou Mu with the support of all civil officials, and at the same time the fast horse went to the court overnight.
Zhang Lang led the state pastor, and did not make a big adjustment to the personnel, otherwise it would make people who have been officials in Xuzhou for many years feel cold, but after Cao Bao and others went, some vacant positions were topped by some people.
Zhang Liao took his place as the general of Yamen, and was responsible for training soldiers. He also appointed Cai Yong as the main chronicler and the main record. Dian Wei is the subordinate superintendent of the thief Cao, the main guard, and the patrol attendant. Tian Feng, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xu Shu don't drive, Chen Dengbai is Lang Yaoxiang, and Lang Yao is too guarded. Zhao Yu was appointed as the Taishou of Guangling. Zangba, Zhao Yun, and Tai Shici were promoted to partial generals and jointly helped Zhang Lang deal with military affairs. And Han Juzi and Yan Ming are still the head of the Black Eagle Guard. Gao Shun is too guarded by Xiao Pei and is in charge of affairs. Mi Zhu is more than Cao Peng's history, the property in the main county, and the mantissa check. Lian Rong has no military merits, so he can only be an envoy in front of the account. Except for Zhang Lang's cronies who were promoted, other officials were promoted or demoted.
Zhang Lang tightly grasped the military power, left small affairs to his subordinate generals, and handed over internal affairs to his own affairs.
After settling down, Zhang Lang decided to embark on internal and military reforms.
Zhang Lang began to improve his weapons and equipment, first secretly produced his own 500 pieces of special equipment, each of them was ready to issue a small universal saber, and also to put on a small repeater launcher, imaginary, this thing is very powerful, can fire about 30 short arrows in a row, although the range is shorter than the crossbow bow by half, but it is definitely more flexible and practical than them, the most convenient for hand-to-hand combat when the secret weapon.
Under normal circumstances, he would not use this secret weapon, and the so-called raising soldiers is used for a while.
Yan Ming took a step further in training the Black Eagle Guard, and began formal field training, striving to focus on the standards on the battlefield. After the change in Xuzhou, the mission of the Black Eagle Guard was mainly to protect Zhang Lang's family. Zhang Lang himself selected eighteen outstanding ones from among them, led by Lian Rong, as his personal guard.
In the army, Zhang Lang has put a lot of thought into it. First of all, it was decided to build 3,000 heavy cavalry, when the Han Dynasty was in turmoil, the source of horses was very short, but Zhang Lang still spared no expense, purchased thousands of good horses at a high price, and selected 3,000 strong men, all wrapped in black iron armor all over the body, and wrapped the horses in iron armor, every ten horses in a row, the iron chain was connected, and it was named the iron armor chain horse. Then let Zhao Yun train at night, and he must train into a steel division to charge into battle.
And with heavy armor iron cavalry is not enough, because this kind of cavalry is only suitable for field charges, although the impact is strong, the lethality is large, but the movement is slow, the mobility is poor, this requires the special protection of the two wings of light cavalry, and let the Tibetan tyrant train 5,000 light cavalry with heavy cavalry.
Among them, Zhang Lang was particularly concerned that there were no stirrups in the cavalry of the Three Kingdoms, and the saddle was nothing more than a kind of mattress or cushion, and riding on this saddle was not much different from riding a bareback horse. The stirrup is a tool to assist the knight in getting on and off the horse and driving the horse, and it can effectively combine the horse and the rider into one in combination with the saddle sheath, becoming a powerful combat unit and exerting great power. If the saddle does not match the stirrups, the cavalry cannot control the mount by clamping the horse's belly with the lower legs, and it is even more difficult to use both hands to swing the weapon against the enemy.
Zhang Lang ordered the stirrups to be exhibited, drew his own drawings, and said his thoughts in the confusion of the blacksmith. After a long time, I left in confusion and began to prepare to build a sample.
At the same time, whether light cavalry or heavy cavalry discard spears, double-edged swords, halberds and other weapons, specially unified cavalry charge battle ring handle long iron knife, the length from 80-100 to 120-150 cm, the characteristics of this knife are: straight blade narrow, one side of the blade and the other side of the thick spine, there is no obvious boundary between the handles, the outside of the handle is sandwiched with wood chips, the outside of the thick rope is wrapped tightly, so as to hold, both sharp stabbing split, but also not easy to break, increase the length, will not add much weight, more suitable for the needs of the cavalry when the fierce impact of the chop. The cavalry has a long knife with a light body, which can shoot from a distance, and can also gallop through close combat, not only can cooperate with the infantry to cruise and gallop to help, but also can charge into battle with the main force.
On the infantry side, a lot of weapon improvements have been made.
Zhang Lang originally remembered his guns and cannons in the 21st century. However, in view of the current low handwork, iron-smelting methods and other reasons, even if you can concoct * earth cannons, etc., the power is not as strong as a crossbow, plus your own development of science and technology beyond the times, I don't know what kind of turmoil it will bring to the society, and finally decided to develop a powerful repeating crossbow, just like the kind of Shu in the later period, used to defend the city, etc.
In terms of internal affairs, due to years of war, the population has declined sharply, and the land is barren, in order to ensure that the military food is sufficient, Zhang Lang decided to implement Cao Ying's later "tuntian system". The tuntian system is a feudal system of state ownership of land, and the people of tuntian only have the right to use land; And Tuntian is divided into military tun and min tun. The military cantonment was reclaimed by soldiers, and the mintun recruited exiled peasants for reclamation; The peasants in the tuntian fields should be organized according to the military establishment, and the government should set up officials to manage them; The people of Tuntian had to pay the harvest to the government in proportion to each situation, but they were no longer required to serve in the military. In this way, a large number of exiled peasants were resettled, which was conducive to stabilizing social order and alleviating social contradictions. It also enables production to develop relatively quickly. The premise of the implementation of the tuntian system is that the system does not touch the interests of the local gatekeepers, who do not move the land they already own, and only allocate the ownerless land. Representatives of the extended family of such places also agreed in favour. Full effort.
At the same time, Tuntian began to use cattle ploughing, and production technology was injected, so that agricultural production technology was gradually improved.
Under the premise that the Xuzhou area, the handicraft area, and light industry are very developed, Zhang Lang decided to implement public management, and set up full-time officials to strengthen management, ensure tax revenue, and have more money and wealth to invest in military development.
Zhang Lang set up a draft, because he didn't know much about such internal affairs, and asked the civil officials to discuss whether it was feasible, but although some people objected, most of them agreed, and decided to implement it together.
So far, Zhang Lang has been handed over to his subordinates to handle both internal and external, so that everyone can make the best use of it and give full play to everyone's strengths. Jointly govern Xuzhou.
He also sent a letter to Cao Ying, wanting to form an alliance.
Cao Yingyanzhou fought against Lu Bu, and he had no ability to take care of Xuzhou, and when he heard that Zhang Lang led Xuzhou Mu, it was difficult to figure out for a while, so he agreed to form an alliance. So that he has no worries and attacks Lu Bu with all his might.
So far, Zhang Lang has governed Xuzhou internally, formed strong heroes outside, recruited talents, and collected grain and grass, thinking that it would be slow.
In the spring of 193 A.D., after Zhang Lang's adjustment in January, Xuzhou was full of vitality and strong upward momentum with the strong support of local families. At the same time, in order to settle the hearts of local families such as Mi Zhu, Zhang Lang decided to marry the first beauty of Xuzhou, although this marriage has a strong political color, but heroes and beauties have become a beautiful talk for the people of Xuzhou.
In the past month and a half, Xuzhou has steadily transitioned and reformed, although he is busy, but Zhang Lang is like unemployed, doing nothing all day long, except for major decisions, all internal and military affairs are handed over to his subordinates, fully believing in their ability and loyalty, and rarely interfering in it. Usually, I can only practice martial arts, ride horses, and chat with my family.
Early this morning, Zhang Lang was still lazy to get up on the fragrant couch.
It turned out that last night, Zhang Lang and the pair of sisters fought for several rounds, and in the end, all three of them were exhausted and fell asleep.
Zhang Lang felt that his nose was itchy in his sleep, and he couldn't help sneezing, and then opened his heavy eyelids. The entrance is a delicate pink sculpture, a charming face that seems to be smiling but not smiling. It was Yang Rong, who was born and died with Zhang Lang, who was lying on the edge of the bed at this time, pouting her cute little mouth, and boringly holding her black hair to tickle him from time to time.
Zhang Lang is angry and funny in his heart, this Yang Rong usually wants to make fun of herself when she has nothing to do, and she has embarrassed herself in front of beautiful women several times, but this is the only person who can talk to her heart with her, and in the 21st century, there are more common topics. is saying that he loves these delicate people deeply, if he really wants to rank one, two or three, there is no doubt that Yang Rong will definitely be the first. The women also knew Yang Rong's weight, and faintly, she became the eldest sister of the inner hall. In addition, Yang Rong is good at martial arts, and she is clever, and she accompanies Zhang Lang on the expedition every time, and the women usually like to pester them when they have nothing to do.
Zhang Lang turned over, pressed Yang Rong's seductive plump body under him, and deliberately said: "Wow~', Rong'er is really a good wife, knowing that her husband is hungry, she sent snacks to the door early in the morning." β
Yang Rong felt bad when she saw Zhang Lang's aggressive eyes, and hurriedly struggled under Zhang Lang's tiger body, and said angrily: "I told you to get up, big pervert husband, the sun is about to set." β
Zhang Lang smiled, stroked Yang Rong's delicate melon seed face, and said straightly: "When the sun sets, I will have a good time with Rong'er first." β
Yang Rong was embarrassed and anxious, and struggled and said, "Big pervert, Mi Zhu came to talk to you about marrying Mi Huan." β
Zhang Lang was shocked, then he remembered, and hurriedly got out of bed.
Yang Rong glanced at him faintly and gently helped him get dressed. Zhang Lang couldn't see it, in his words, the roundworms in the stomach, the two of them knew each other well, Zhang Lang smiled softly: "Rong'er, I have wronged you." β
Yang Rong suddenly twisted Zhang Lang's arm fiercely, and said angrily: "It's cheap, and it's good." β
Zhang Lang smirked embarrassedly.
Yang Rong suddenly stretched out her hand and gently stroked Zhang Lang's resolute face, the tenderness in her phoenix eyes was like water, and she spat lightly: "Husband, as long as you still have me in your heart, you have taken advantage of all the advantages in the world anyway, it doesn't matter if you have one more." β
Zhang Lang was very moved in his heart, and said solemnly: "Rong'er, if I become the emperor in time, then you are the queen, I am in charge of the country, and you help me take care of the inner palace." β
Yang Rong sneered, pushed him out of the door, and then said with a smile: "Do your spring and autumn dreams." β
