------- excerpt from the introduction

Yicheng County Fuzhong (Fushui Upper Reach, now Yuan'an, Dangyang, Hubei) area. After a busy winter, the newly appointed Diannong Zhonglang General Zeng Hua and others finally preliminarily settled tens of thousands of northbound refugees.

In recent years, nearly 100,000 displaced people from the north have flowed into the Jingxiang area, and Zeng Hua, together with the local government, first elected those displaced people who had gone south earlier and had lived in the area for about three years. Under the organization of the local government, these people have already experienced many spring plowing and autumn harvests, and they don't want to move anymore. Zeng Hua, together with the local government, officially included these people in the local household registration. More than 30,000 people were removed in this way.

Zeng Hua took out some of the money and grain allocated to him by Huan Wen and asked them to go to their relatives and friends, and attached an official letter with the two big seals of Jingzhou Thorn Shi and Diannong Zhonglang, asking the local government to settle these homeless people who had joined their relatives and friends in accordance with the rules and regulations of the imperial court. In this way, more than 10,000 were removed.

Now there are more than 60,000 people left under Zeng Hua, more than 40,000 young and strong people, and more than 20,000 old friends, women and children. After Zeng Hua counted the number of household registrations, a total of 64,896 people were divided, divided into 29,52 households (many households only had one or two young people left). Zeng Hua divided these displaced people according to the number of households, and divided them into one tun for every 100 households, for a total of 290 tuns.

The left Sima is in charge of the organization and management of daily affairs such as farming and farming, and the right Sima is in charge of handling affairs such as public security, disputes, and later the military training of the tun people. Sima Xi selected a person who was highly respected and convincing in his conduct in each tun, and was appointed by Zeng Hua in the name of Dian Nong Zhonglang.

Zeng Hua also selected 26 upright and upright people, appointed them as secretaries, and brought several subordinates to inspect each tun. Every time you go to a tun, a notice is put up, and anyone who has been entangled in the tun for a long time or is dissatisfied with the affairs of the tunzhong or complains about the injustice of the left and right Sima can go to the temporary office of the clerk to make a complaint. As soon as the clerk verifies it, he will either make a decision on the spot, or directly report to the canon, and Nong Zhonglang will be the judge. The Registrar may also review, as necessary and requested, cases previously decided by the Registrar and revisit them if in doubt, in order to monitor each other.

After the management system and institutions of the displaced people were determined, Zeng Hua began to gather the 60,000 displaced people in the Fuzhong area of Jingling County, which was demarcated by Huanwen. Although it is hilly, the land is quite fertile.

After Zeng Hua spent more than a month moving the tun to Fuzhong, the next thing to do was to build a wintering house. Frustrated with its back to the Shennongjia Mountains, there is no need to worry about wood.

Zeng Hua organized more than 10,000 young people to enter Shennongjia, cut down tens of thousands of trees and countless bamboos, and put them down along the frustrated river. Then first choose a high place to build the foundation of the house, build the main frame of the house with wood, and then use the bamboo strips to weave into a frame, and ram the soil mixed with pebbles as the wall. The roof is made of trees and the bark is woven and bamboo. 60,000 displaced people went into battle, and finally built thousands of houses before the arrival of the bitter cold of winter.

Before the cold winter, Zeng Hua had already distributed all the grain allocated by Huan Wen to all households. In order to resist the severe cold, he had long ordered every family to dig a pit in the hall as a fire pit, and then gather countless firewood in the early morning, so that they could make a fire to eat and surround it for warmth.

When the severe cold came (the central and western parts of Hubei were not very cold), Zeng Hua asked Jingzhou to assassinate Shi Ling, recruited more than 100 doctors from the local area, and divided them into more than ten teams to inspect each tun. And he himself led his subordinates to care for the orphans and the weak, and to ask for cold and hunger. For a whole winter, Zeng Hua, Zhang Shou, Gan Rui and others were patrolling each of their tuns, taking care of each of their subordinates, and in the eyes of many homeless people, they were out-and-out good people.

Of course, there are those who are faithful, and there are those who are wicked. Many of the scoundrels who have infiltrated the ranks of the displaced people have begun to recur their old evils after their lives have stabilized, and some have even colluded with local bandits to openly loot the displaced people. There are also local residents, provoked by people with ulterior motives, who gather to whistle, attack the homeless people's cantonments, and rob property and farm tools. In addition, residents and displaced people provoked each other and fought with each other.

Dealing with these people, Zeng Hua showed his other side. For the scum among the displaced people, he did not hesitate to use his power of life and death, hanging hundreds of traitors high on wooden poles in the ice and snow. For the local bandits, he directly wrote to Jingzhou to assassinate Shi Huanwen, asking to use the garrison to encircle and suppress it with his own troops. The captured bandits, young and old, were to gather the displaced people and local residents and behead them in public.

In the case of local residents attacking the homeless people's cantonments, Zeng Hua will work with the local government to arrest the ringleaders and try and deal with them in public. His iron and bloody skills immediately deterred many people, and the 60,000 exiles finally knew that their leader not only had the heart of a bodhisattva, but also had thunderbolt means. The local officials and people were afraid of Zeng Hua like a tiger.

In dealing with the homeless people and residents, Zeng Hua and the local government worked together to clear up the right and wrong one by one, and if there were homeless people, Zeng Hua unceremoniously pulled them out and punished them with a cane in front of everyone.

Although everyone knew that Zeng Hua was biased in his bones, he was so fair, and everyone had nothing to say. The government had no choice but to take away the staff of the local residents, the shackles that should be shackled, and the shackles that should be exiled.

After months of such a harsh winter, Zeng Hua used to only leave a good name, but now he has truly become the leader of 60,000 displaced people.

Spring is coming, and the very important spring ploughing of the year is about to begin. As a result of the winter of running-in, the management institutions of each tun have been perfected, and when it comes to major events related to the livelihood of the displaced people for a year, why not be careful? Zeng Hua distributed the grain, farm tools, and cattle he had received from Jiangling, and then divided each tun into several mutual aid groups, shared a small number of farm tools and cattle, integrated labor, and began to cultivate in the wasteland on both sides of the river.

In fact, in winter, Zeng Hua had already begun to prepare for spring ploughing.

Zeng Hua will not let more than 60,000 subordinates roast a small fire in winter, listen to small books, sleep for a while, and eat and drink Lazar boring for a winter. This kind of life is the life of petty bourgeoisie, not the life of homeless people. Because the winter is not very cold, and there will be no frozen ground. Zeng Hua ordered the young and strong people in each tun to be organized into several teams to dredge and repair the water conservancy projects such as canals and rivers next to the tundi. Anyway, this grain should be distributed to the displaced people, it is better to use it as a reward for work, and then distribute it to tens of thousands of "winter ******" homeless people.

From this point, it has been seen that Zeng Hua has the potential of a profiteer.

After a winter and hundreds of thousands of people of construction, not only were the existing water conservancy canals cleared up, but Zeng Hua also had time to lead his subordinates to first divide the tuntian fields in each tun, and then according to some agricultural farming knowledge he learned from the farmer, he cleaned up the farmland to be cultivated in the spring. The stones were cleared, the flowing water gullies were dug up, the grass and firewood ash were piled up, and the farmland was first covered with a layer of organic potassium fertilizer.

Therefore, when spring comes, it is easy for the displaced people in Getun to start spring ploughing. After finishing the crucial spring ploughing and starting to work, Zeng Hua threw the tedious things to Zhang Shou, Gan Rui and others, and finally began to have time to do something he had wanted to do for a long time.

Due to Zeng Hua's effective organization in the past cold winter, not many of the more than 60,000 displaced people died of hunger and cold, and the figures were even better than those of the neighboring Xincheng County and Yicheng County, which suddenly gave the officials in Jingzhou a new understanding of Zeng Hua's talents. In addition to the spring ploughing time, Zeng Hua came up with a mutual aid group and a labor coordination rotation system, using much less cattle and manpower than Yicheng County, and actually cultivated farmland that was not inferior to Yicheng County.

The two credits were reported by Huan Wen and Liu Yi, who were already very valued by Zeng Hua, and they were two great achievements. But Zeng Hua secretly sent a letter to Huan Wen, not hoping for any reward, only hoping that Huan Gong could support him in organizing an army composed of northland refugees, as "Huan Gong's arm in doing great things".

As a result, Zeng Hua's official rank of Captain Shui became Captain Changshui, and he became a captain who could officially unify the army. Although Zeng Hua does not have the number of general, Captain Changshui is one of the five schools after all, and he can lead an army according to the rules.

So Zeng Hua began to recruit soldiers on the spot. Because Zeng Hua was among the homeless people, and the recruitment notice said that the soldiers not only had one catty and two taels of military rations every day, but also had an annual salary, and two silk horses (forty feet long) a year, which was quite generous at that time. However, Zeng Hua had the confidence to do so, after all, the imperial court had decreed that the exiles under his jurisdiction did not need to pay taxes to the imperial court for three years (according to the rule, half of the annual harvest of Tuntian was to be handed over to the imperial court), and only needed to pay the self-retention (officials at all levels who managed the displaced people came from here, and the money and grain for other public facilities also came from here). Zeng Hua estimated that in a year, one-fifth of the tax rate was enough to raise 3,000 elite soldiers, in addition to self-sufficiency.

There were a lot of applicants. In the winter, when everyone was bored, Zeng Hua organized many storytellers to go around to various tuns to tell the "Biography of the Sheng Han", "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms" and "The Biography of the Heroes" compiled by himself. "The Biography of the Sheng Han" and "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms" in the pen from Rong; Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away; Green plum boiled wine on heroes; Taoyuan Three Knots; Do your best, and then die; Lu Bu among people, red rabbit among horses; both Shengyu and He Shengliang; Zilong is full of guts; Take the head of a general in a million troops, like a bag and an ear. These things, which have not been long in the past, appear again in the hearts of the homeless; "The Legend of the Martyrs" in the loyal service to the country; Holding a steel knife ninety-nine, killing Hu Erfang made the things that had long disappeared in many people's hearts slowly echo in their hearts. These stories are not only very popular with the displaced people, but also arouse strong repercussions among the local residents.

However, Zeng Hua's principle of selecting soldiers is very strict, and he has to select thousands of young people out of tens of thousands of young people who have signed up, and the ratio is almost 1 in 10.

The first is to look at the face and take the local opinion. All those who are depressed, depressed, and full of laziness will be brushed down first, and only those who look energetic, have a straight back, and have a good evaluation in the tunli can make this first level.

Next is the simple test. The first is the stone lock, a 100-pound stone lock has to be lifted ten times in a row. The second is to draw a strong bow, a strong bow of one stone should be able to be full, and finally line up in a column of incense to run two miles, and those who cannot pass any of them will be brushed down.

After such screening, only more than 4,600 people were qualified, and the rest were sent back to participate in spring ploughing. But Zeng Hua knew in his heart that these more than 4,000 people would have to be brushed down, after all, the current establishment of the first army is only 3,000 people at most.

The next step is to start programming training. Zeng Hua took ten people as one tithing, three tithes as a team, three teams plus flag-bearers and trumpeters counted more than 100 people as a tun, three tuns as a battalion, three battalions plus flag guards, etc., totaling more than 1,000 people as a building, three buildings for an army, self-leading leader, set up a military officer, secretary, military law, joint logistics baggage, detailed intelligence and other departments.

Zeng Hua originally came from more than 500 people, all of whom were selected from the Zhang, Gan and Hedong refugees who were the first to follow. has been following Zeng Hua for more than half a year, and after several trainings, he has already become an elite division.

Zeng Hua ordered the subordinates to select more than 300 elite people and send them down to each other, thinking that they were instructors. Then Zeng Hua wrote a training textbook for recruits and standardized the daily training subjects for recruits.

Every morning, I get up with a trumpet, gather immediately after washing, run in the field for an hour, and then have breakfast. Then in the morning, we will walk in the queue again, divide into about about it, eat lunch at noon and rest for an hour. In the afternoon, it is another hour of running in the field, and then crossover for individual physical training and queue walking training. You have dinner at three o'clock, and then gather together to listen to the clerk tell the story (the cold one). I slept with a trumpet at all times.

After two months of recruit training, only 4,000 of the 4,600 people remained, and the rest were brushed off because they failed to pass the march, individual physical fitness, and field running assessments.

At this time, the Changshui Army began the private training program according to Zeng's private textbook. After the formal establishment is completed, the non-commissioned officers at the grassroots level will be preliminarily promoted.

The daily subject is to blow the trumpet in the morning and get up, and the wild running remains the same. In the morning, the shields, spears, and knives made of wooden strips that are more than twice as heavy as the real ones are used to learn the art of assassination, and the objects are puppets in the appearance of real people. This kind of technical assassination action is summarized by those skilled fighters, and is written in line with the principle of efficiency and usefulness, and is not comparable to ordinary showmanship. In the afternoon, the basic skills of individual soldiers such as jumping, running, crossing trenches, and climbing over wooden walls are trained. In the middle, there is also a mixture of mutual fighting, and the formation changes to move forward. In the last two months, there were only about 3,200 of the 4,000 left.

Time passed quickly, and soon in the summer and July of the second year of Yonghe, the "Changshui Army" had been established for more than four months, and it was time to start formal soldier training. Zeng Hua is going to go to Jiangling and get back the 3,000 sets of swords, guns and weapons that Huan Wen promised, it's time to use real swords and guns, and he can't call his Changshui Army a wooden army.

When he came to Jiangling, Huan Wen went to Wuchang County, Jiangzhou (now Echeng, Hubei) for important business. But he had already received Zeng Hua's letter, saying that the weapons and ordnance had already been prepared, and he could just ask Che Yin to join the army, and specially told Zeng Hua to wait for him for a few days.

Zeng Hua found Che Yin, quickly handled the delivery, and asked people to escort him back first, and he still stayed with Huan Wen's advice.

Che Yin is an old acquaintance who joined the army, and when Zeng Hua came to Jiangling to report or do business, he had dealt with him several times before. This time the army is leading the armament and weapons, and the old car is very well taken care of. Zeng Hua found an opportunity to set up a table in Wangjiang Tower in Jiangling and invited Che Yin.

After a few glasses of wine, the two couldn't help but have hot ears and red eyes, and the conversation couldn't help but open up.

"Captain Changshui, you..."

"Brother Wuzi, you still call me Xuping! It's too polite, but it seems that you and my brother are too rusty. ”

Che Yin was not polite at the moment, and immediately changed his words: "Brother Xuping did a really good job in frustration!" ”

"Where! Where! I'm all petty and can't be on the stage. "The necessary humility is still required.

"Small fights, those who talk all day long may not be able to do this kind of small fights in their lives!" Che Yin said with some indignation, and said that it was a lamp.

It seems that this car brother is also angry.

"In such a time of crisis, there are too few people like Brother Xuping who do practical things, no wonder the Huan Guild values you so much."

"Huan Gong's weapon is important, which makes Zeng quite frightened, so he can only do his best to do things well, so as not to disappoint Huan Gong and the court." Zeng Hua said sincerely. To be honest, when he came to this strange world, if it weren't for Huan Wen, Zeng Hua really didn't know what he would become? Become a small landlord in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and build a new socialist countryside? Or become a promising little civil servant and strive for the construction of a harmonious Dajin? Therefore, in Zeng Hua's mind, Huan Wen is more important than the small dynasty of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, after all, the small dynasty is just a signboard, and only Huan Wen really gives him rights and interests.

"Okay! I know that Brother Xuping is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, otherwise Duke Huan would not be so dedicated to fighting for you. Che Yin glanced at Zeng Hua and said.

Listening to this tone, it seems that there is an inside story here! I'm one of my favorite viewers of the National Geographic Channel, a real curious baby who grows up under the red flag.

"Please teach me, sir!" Zeng Hua hurriedly gave a tentative speech, determined to ask the ugly man.
