Episode 111; Admiral blindfolded

Meng Tian - a famous general of the Qin State, the grandson of Shangqing Mengfu, the son of Mengwu of the Inner History, from a prominent background, one of the nobles of the Qin State, familiar with the art of war since childhood, good at the layout of the formation, and an important core figure of the Xuanji Gate.

Meng Tian fought countless battles in his life, made military achievements, attacked the Xiongnu in the north and expanded the territory of the Qin Dynasty, and was summarized as the first warrior in China by later generations!

The general was born in a family of famous generals, with great ambitions since childhood, and once led the army to break through the Qi State, and was later worshiped as an internal history because of his military exploits, and won the favor of two generations of kings.

In the past few years after Qin's unification of the Six Kingdoms, the general Meng Kuo was not withdrawn by the current king, but continued to appoint him to lead an army of 300,000 to attack the Xiongnu in the north, and recovered the land of Henan last year, shocking the Xiongnu!

He was the earliest developer in Northwest China and the first person to develop Ningxia in ancient times, supervising the construction of the Great Wall and the Kyushu Straight Road, overcoming the dilemma of domestic traffic congestion, and greatly promoting the economic and cultural exchanges and integration of the people of all ethnic groups in the north.

The brush has been improved, so it is known as the ancestor of the pen.

Although he received a lot of merit and was named a loyal general, but for various reasons, he was not awarded the top of the twentieth level knighthood, Marquis Che.

However, although he was not promoted to the top title, the Qin State did not lose him too much, and he was named the first-class Marquis of Guannei, and then he was named a general, a general like Bai Qi and Wang Qian.

It's just that there is a staggered one in the rank of the knighthood, which is a pity, as for other aspects, it is almost the same level as the two top Che Marquis, and at the level of the Guan Nei Marquis, it is the first class of the leader.

In the northwest, the general, the Marquis of Guannei, and Meng Kuo personally supervised the construction of the Great Wall.

The soldiers who were working along the way greeted them warmly from the bottom of their hearts.

"General, you're here to do our work again?"

"The Admiral is well!"

"Meet the General."

"Meet my uncle."

"Well, everyone should work, don't pay attention to me, I'm just an idler, hiding in the general's mansion is not happy, come out and walk around, you are busy with you."

"Order!"

"Order!"

Meng Kuo was able to build the Great Wall himself, supported by two factors, one is the strong support of two generations of kings, and the other is the more than 300,000 loyal soldiers under his command, and the more than one million people in the border area.

The people are not stupid, building the Great Wall is a big thing, I didn't see that the barbaric Huns have been blocked outside the Great Wall over the years, and they are helpless to scold and go?

Therefore, there is no subsidy for the construction of the Great Wall, and the people here are also taking turns to fight.

However, Meng Kuo is also very generous, there is no ambiguity in eating and drinking, and the people who come to build the Great Wall eat and drink slightly better than the soldiers under their own command, which also makes the people see in their eyes and remember in their hearts!

Meng Kuo, who was inspecting the construction site, casually instructed his subordinates;

"Don't be stingy with meals, two meals a day must be served on time, and you must be full, these stones are hundreds of catties each, or even more than a thousand catties, they are all hard work, not to make people full, but also to do a fart?"

"It's the general, the last general has been arranged according to your orders, and I don't dare to shorten anything."

"That's good, Menglu, what's the recent situation in terms of military rations?"

Meng Kuo asked a nephew of his own family, who immediately stood up straight;

"Back to Dashuai, the fields we cultivated ourselves have been harvested, and the allocation of Xianyang City has been used for dinner, and the ones we harvested have been stored in the warehouse, plus the receipt of the last season, there are three phases of inventory, even if Xianyang City runs out of grain and grass, we can hold on for 30 months without worrying about eating and drinking."

Meng's family, the Meng family is a very large family, it can be regarded as the largest family in the Warring States Period, there are tens of thousands of Meng's army alone, you can imagine how terrifying the Meng's family is? Otherwise, how can it be called the largest family in the world?

In Mengku's territory, you can see clansmen with the surname Meng everywhere, some of them are ordinary soldiers, and some of them are in different positions, and Mengkuo is arranged in strict accordance with their personal ability and ability, and there is almost no favoritism.

After listening to his nephew's words, Meng Kuo was extremely relieved, although he knew the specific data, but the report after the next person put it in place made him really down-to-earth.

It is true that the generals will not be subject to the orders of the monarchs outside, but if the military rations are stuck, it is equivalent to being choked, how many generals have been stuck like this?

Therefore, Meng Kuo, who was born in a family of famous generals, is extremely sensitive to military rations.

From the moment he accepted the military order to guard the border pass, he grabbed the military power with his left hand and organized the Mengjia army of 100,000, alone in the establishment of the imperial court, the imperial court only gave the corresponding positions and titles, but never issued the military rations of these 100,000 people, only the military rations of the 250,000 people prepared by the imperial court, and the 100,000 Mengjia army and his own personal guards of 5,000 had to be blinded and find a way!

Therefore, Meng Kuo did not dare to be careless, and from the time he came to the border pass, he grasped military power with his left hand and construction with his right hand, and organized soldiers to cultivate the tuntian.

Over the years, a lot of military fields have been cultivated, all of which are of the highest quality, and Mengkuo has not worked without restraint, and his rule is that after each harvest, he must ensure that the 355,000 military rations are enough for 30 months.

Then, there will be no unlimited increase in the data of land reclamation, and the free time and energy will be devoted to the construction of the Great Wall.

Therefore, in addition to guarding the frontier, there are three things to do here.

That is, the tuntian is cultivated, self-sufficient, and not choked by the imperial court, or even if it is stuck, there is a buffer period of 30 months, which is enough for the next few seasons of receipt.

In addition to cultivating the fields, the second thing is to build the Great Wall, this work of building the Great Wall, but not three months and five months to stop doing, Meng Kuo here for the construction of the Great Wall only one sentence, unless I die, as long as I still have a breath, the construction of the Great Wall will never stop!

Then there is one more thing, that is, trade, don't underestimate Meng Kuo's head melon seeds, the 100,000 troops on the surface, there is no subsidy from the imperial court, and there is no military food for these people, so Meng Kuo is the most pitiful and poorest general.

But in private, only his own people know that Meng Kuo is the richest one among the generals of the Qin State.

The guards on the entire Great Wall line are Meng Kuo one person has the final say, so it is much more convenient to do business, those ethnic groups outside the Great Wall, including the Xiongnu, the salt they eat is the end of Meng Kuo agreeing to open a trade route, Meng Kuo gave an order, closed the city gate, closed the trade route, and the ethnic groups outside the fortress can only rely on the smuggling of those small caravans to eat salt.

So Meng Kuo is very rich, not to mention the identity of the general Guan Neihou, Meng Kuo is still a well-known big businessman......
