Chapter 128 lures the snake out of the hole
This is what the government soldiers look like, they are soldiers in wartime, and they are farmers in wartime.
Yun Chu himself felt that he should practice the drill, and today was just right, so it was a reassurance for those veterans.
This kind of gathering of government soldiers and people is what Chang'an, Wannian, and even the entire Tang Prefecture should do.
It's just that there is no place like Chang'an, and the two counties of Wannian take this matter so seriously.
Since the advent of gunpowder, the city wall has not really been that important, and it is just a small barrier in the enemy's attack path.
Compared with the hearts of people trapped by the city wall, Yun Chu likes people's hearts more than any city walls.
There are 200,000 people outside Wannian County, and there are more people outside Chang'an County, with 300,000, which is basically the same as the residents in Chang'an City, half to half.
At the beginning of Yunchu, more than 500,000 people outside the city needed to produce a large amount of grain, vegetables and livestock to supply the daily needs of the people in the city as much as possible.
The people in the city are constantly making money, and paying people outside the city to maintain the standard of living of people outside the city, which is a complementary problem.
It's just that the people in the city still look down on the farmers outside the city to some extent.
There is no way to do this, this kind of discrimination comes from human nature and cannot be eliminated, so when Yunchu set the prices of grain, vegetables, meat and eggs and other goods, he was biased towards farmers outside the city.
Therefore, the farmers outside the city do not have much inferiority complex when facing the city people, after all, they keep the good things to eat by themselves, and the bad ones are transported to the city for the city people to eat.
Complementing each other is the way to get along, it has nothing to do with whether you like each other or not, anyway, whether you like it or not, everyone has to be tied together to live a good life.
There are many cavalry outside the city, and many armor soldiers inside the city.
Wannian County, Chang'an County has many high-class households in the countryside, therefore, there are many cavalry recruited, and there is no extra place to raise horses in the city, so it mainly develops armor soldiers, and it is heavy armor soldiers.
As for how to maintain the love for the soldiers who have no mouth to divide the field and Yongye field when most of the people in Chang'an are not short of food and clothing?
The usual tax cuts in the past could no longer impress the people of Chang'an, so Yun Chu creatively proposed the method of subsidy.
Not only is there a subsidy, but the county government also stipulates that there are many occupations, and only government soldiers can participate, and non-government soldiers cannot participate.
For example, the profession of guarding, or the scope of traveling long distances, and for example, the government soldiers can participate in the selection of bad people, the selection of fire patrol shops, the selection of martial arts, the selection of fast catchers, the selection of government officials, the selection of urgent express delivery, etc., in short, as long as you become a government soldier, the future will be bright.
The benefits of the government have never been easy to take, but fortunately, the concept of taking people's money and being managed by others has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
On this basis, Yun Chu naturally wants to train these people to the death, and if he doesn't train them to become elites, he feels sorry for his hard work on the soldiers.
Now, when it is time to test, judging from the current situation, the results have come out, both in terms of military discipline and proficiency in the military formation, and when the troops are dispatched, they are all positive.
It can be said that these government soldiers in Chang'an City, in addition to spending money, really can't find other shortcomings.
Of course, if the soldiers don't see blood, it will be empty after all, and Yun Chu is currently actively looking for a place where the soldiers can see blood.
If they can really fight a few battles, these soldiers will become real soldiers.
Seeing that the cavalry rushed out in the dark, they ran along the road to the horizon before they began to turn back.
Yun Chu was somewhat dissatisfied, because these cavalry actually deliberately avoided farmland and vegetable fields, and ran along the main road.
There are no dwellings within three miles outside Chang'an City, only large areas of open space, where you can grow grain, vegetables, even if you raise pigs, but you are not allowed to have a house more than six feet high.
This is a requirement for combat readiness, and Wannian County and Chang'an County have implemented it quite well.
The cavalry ran out, and the rest of the armor soldiers had to practice on the spot.
I have to say that the appearance of the people and horses of the brigade training under the city is amazing.
Hu Ren, who was still arguing with Han Da just now, saw this kind of battle, so he quietly led his camel team to Qujiangli, where the caravan should go, he just didn't want to pay an extra carriage fee, just to be clever.
Abdul Hashem, the envoy from the Great Food Country, and Aziz Saeed saw the whole exercise, and the two looked at each other and did not speak, but the expression on their faces was definitely not calm.
"Chang'an is the western capital of the Tang people, and they also have the eastern capital Luoyang, as well as Jinyang and Beijing, two cities of the same size."
"Chang'an has the largest population, Luoyang is second, Jinyang is again, we can't exaggerate the strength of the Tang people, nor can we weaken the strength of the Tang people, what we see and hear, we must record it."
"This time, I happened to follow Yun Chu to Luoyang to participate in the enthronement ceremony of Yun Na Buddha, you might as well go to Jinyang to see if that Beijing is as big as Chang'an."
"After watching Jinyang, I am going to go to the south of the Tang Empire, I heard the first big food merchant who came to the Tang Dynasty to do business said that you can return to Da Shi by land, and you can also return to Da Shi by sea, no matter what, I want to try."
Hashem nodded, "That's good." ”
The big cannibals watched the Tang Army's military exercises, and they didn't make much waves in their hearts, after all, no matter how strong the Tang Dynasty was, it was not very likely that such a large number of soldiers would be sent to the Western Regions River to fight with the Great Eclipse.
This scene was completely different in the eyes of the envoys of the Tibetan and Japanese countries, especially the envoys of the Tibetan state, after seeing the hot military exercises under the city, they became more and more determined in their hearts to understand the idea of the whole Tibetan tribe to go to the west.
He did not think that the brave Tibetan warriors would be able to fight such an army after coming down from the plateau.
The eyes of the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom are full of admiration, behind them is the supreme prosperous Chang'an City, and in front of them is the strongest army in the world, which adds another layer of admiration to the Tang Dynasty of the Japanese envoys.
As for whether the Tang Dynasty would use such a powerful army to attack them, the envoys of the Japanese State were very unimpressed.
He didn't think that the people of Datang would be of any interest in their barren, earthquake-rich, volcanic island, and if Datang allowed it, he was very willing to take all the Japanese people out of that island and come to live in Datang.
Looking around, Yun Chu couldn't find a place where he could practice killing the enemy for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, although the Tubo people were very suitable, but unfortunately, they had been staying on the plateau and were unwilling to come down.
Unable to find a chance to fight a large-scale war, Yun Chu was ready to let the people here go to the Western Regions in batches, or as caravan guards, or as an adventure group to go to the sea in Daxing City and the southern waters, even if they left Datang to be a bandit, in short, they needed to train themselves as a qualified soldier as soon as possible.
The blood of Chang'an people must be maintained, and Yun Chu feels that this is the most important thing.
If you have all the ability, let me leave Chang'an and go outside, and then bring good things to Chang'an and bring them to my family.
The people who watched Yun Chu train soldiers and horses were not only envoys from various countries, but also from the Tang Dynasty.
Their focus is different from others, in their opinion, the emperor has just left Chang'an, and Yun Chu is conducting troops in Chang'an, which is not a very appropriate time, and it can even be said that there are some ill intentions.
Yunchu blocked Chang'an, and the land deed transaction between the two counties in Wannian itself blocked the way for many people to make a fortune.
Therefore, Yun Chu is far from being favored by the people of Chang'an as others think.
Therefore, when Yun Chu finished the exercise in the evening, there were no less than a hundred messengers who went to Luoyang through Baqiao.
Four hundred miles of road, thirteen post stations, under the condition of changing horses without changing people, one day and one night can report Yun Chu's misdeeds to his own people in Luoyang.
Yun Chu didn't care about these things, this was a matter of gentleness and Di Renjie, they were on the other side of the bridge early, waiting to capture the messenger.
】
In fact, it wasn't the two of them who were arresting the messengers, it was the people on the side of the Hundred Horsemen who were arresting the messengers.
Because it was Zhang Donghai, the Baiqi Division on the Chang'an side who made the shot, the two of them could take a look at who were the people in the end, and they were dissatisfied with Yun Chu.
Zhang Donghai was responsible for arresting people, Di Renjie was responsible for reading letters, and Wen Rou was responsible for copying, and after waiting for a night, Di Renjie pointed out the key points, and Wen Rou re-edited it into a piece of music, and handed it to Zhang Donghai to take and hand over to the emperor.
Zhang Donghai saw it very clearly on the side, these two people did not change the content of the letter, did not exaggerate, did not conceal, and told the emperor in such a straightforward way that there were many people in Chang'an City who were dissatisfied with Yun Chu, and hoped that the emperor would replace Yun Chu and be gentle with these two people, so that they could take the opportunity to buy the title deed at the bottom price, and wait for the government to build the house, and then come to a white wolf with empty gloves.
At dawn, Wen Rou rode back to Chang'an with Di Renjie, took out a hand-drawn map and put it on Yunchu's table and said: "We always think that Chang'an is ours, who knows that people think that Chang'an is someone else's, it seems that as soon as the emperor leaves, many people want to master Chang'an." ”
Yun Chu glanced at the map and found that the map was densely marked with various names and surnames, and he didn't need to look at the names at the back, just by looking at the surnames, he knew that none of them were easy to get along with.
Yun Chu pointed his finger on the map, and said to the two brothers who had not slept all night and were now dizzy: "The money is here, how to harvest it?" ”
Di Renjie pointed to the name of the Cui family and the name of the Zheng family and said: "Drop the geographical range marked by the two of them, they can pinch it themselves, the family is not a monolith, they have a long heritage, and they also have a long hatred, and these hatreds cannot be solved." ”
Gentleness followed: "The place they are fighting for is originally the place we want to develop, we can consider selling the land deed to them at a high price, and after we collect the money, we will choose a place to resettle the people, and when these people are settled, we will develop their land, in short, it will be developed."
This will not offend people, we also have a good income, when the valuable land is compensated to the people, the worthless land also needs someone to take over, right?
Anyway, Chang'an is so big, where it is good and where it is bad, after all, it is our brothers who have the final say, don't you say? ”
