After the Jizhou Army was established, its large battalion was arranged near Zhangshui, and the sergeants in the battalion were carefully trained by Cheng Pu, Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan and others every day.

Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan don't care, just talk about Cheng Pu.

Since he served as the lieutenant and commander-in-chief of the Jizhou Army, Cheng Pu has stayed in the camp every day, except for returning to Yecheng to report necessary things to Liu Jian, just like growing up in the camp of the Jizhou Army.

According to Cheng Pu, as the chief general, only by eating, living, and training with the non-commissioned officers of the three armies can he better control the army, and at the same time, he can better unite the loyalty of the soldiers.

At the same time, Cheng Pu also advised Liu Jian, asking him to go to the barracks every month and live in the camp for three days, just like himself, to eat, live, and practice with the soldiers.

Of course, it doesn't have to be that you really eat and live with the soldiers, and practice the same intensity, but at least you have to do it on the surface.

Liu Jian did not hesitate and immediately agreed to him.

He understands that Cheng Pu will not make such a request for no reason, he is thinking about himself.

Liu Jian said that he would not cheat, and that on these three days of every month, he would eat the same things, sleep in the same tents, and do the same intensity of drills with the Jizhou soldiers.

He is also a child of Bian County, and the training he has received since he was a child is no less than that of others, and what others can do, Liu Jian is confident that he can also do.

……

On this day, after Liu Jian's drills, he lived in the army, and he lived in a small tent with Xia Houlan and Zhao Yun.

After a day of military training, Liu Jian had a general understanding of Cheng Pu's military training methods.

He asked Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan: "What do you think, what do you think of Cheng Demou's ability to train soldiers?" ”

Zhao Yun said while eating gruel: "Cheng Duwei is a square person, calm in everything, and is really a rare general. ”

"Why?"

Zhao Yun continued: "I am young, I read few books, but since I got the "Art of War" given by the envoy, I studied carefully, and I have some growth and knowledge. ”

Xiahou Lan said: "And the captain told us last time that it is cumbersome to make the king govern a state, but this military camp must still come, even if it is only three days a month...... After all, the person who will lead to the battlefield in the future may be him, maybe us, or the envoy himself, if the soldiers do not know the generals, they will not know the soldiers, and it will be disadvantageous to the soldiers, so no matter what, he must persuade the king to come to the army for three days a month. ”

Liu Jian nodded secretly while eating porridge.

The head of the twelve tiger ministers in history is indeed worthy of its name.

Moreover, he not only knows how to train soldiers, but this loyalty is also very touching.

Liu Jian commented: "Cheng Demou is extremely wise and brave, enough to be in front of him. ”

Xiahou Lan said a little anxiously: "Envoy, I don't know when we will be able to send troops to recruit the thieves of Montenegro?" ”

Liu Jian shook his head and said: "Montenegro can not be conquered on a large scale in a moment and a half, nor can it be pacified in a year or two. ”

Zhao Yun admonished: "Having said that, if you don't fight all the time, but only train troops, you can't play the role of training, and you still need to participate in actual combat to have the effect of training." ”

Liu Jian thought about it carefully and felt that there was indeed some truth.

After all, training alone cannot increase the combat experience of the soldiers, and only by experiencing some battles can their growth be accelerated.

"In your opinion, how should you fight the thieves in Montenegro?"

Xiahou Lan said: "According to the opinion of the last official, every time the thieves in the mountains go out to attack and disturb, the most frequent attacks are mostly several county towns in the west of Wei County and Julu, so you might as well let the Jizhou army ambush here in advance, if he comes to attack, the Jizhou army can unite with the local county to resist the enemy together, there is no need to make a large-scale expedition, one loss is smaller, the second can protect the victory, and the third can also protect the local people, so it is not a few birds in one fell swoop?" ”

Liu Jian thought seriously for a while and said, "This method is very good, I will discuss it with Demou in Japan to see if this matter is feasible." ”

……

Cheng Pu also agreed with the method proposed by Xia Houlan, and it is true that training troops without going into battle can indeed achieve the best results.

If you don't attack the Montenegrin army in a big way, but just garrison outside the county towns in various places, and unite with the local powerful people to resist the enemy, such a small-scale battle will not cause too many losses, and at the same time, it can also increase the experience of the soldiers.

So, under the guidance of Liu Jian, Cheng Pu began to work on this matter.

The 5,000 Jizhou Army gradually got on the right track, so Liu Jian began to study another matter.

That's Tuntian.

As for the policy of Tuntian, later generations have mixed evaluations of this policy.

Some people say that tuntian is the best emergency measure in line with the current era, but others say that tuntian is the most vicious form of slavery.

Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang, and Jiang Wei all relied on Tuntian to solve the food problem.

The simple logic of Tuntian is to first take the land barren due to the war into state ownership, and then recruit displaced people to cultivate, and the government and Tuntian guests will divide it equally.

Logically speaking, Tuntian belongs to the unique product of the war era, because the war led to a large number of displaced people, the barren land increased, the method of Tuntian can effectively reduce the number of displaced people, and solve the survival problem of a group of dying on the verge of starvation, which is the benevolence of Tuntian.

However, in later generations, there were also many people who called Tuntian a super slave system.

Mainly with the stable development of Tuntian, the Cao Wei government began to impose large-scale conscription on Tuntian.

The Cao Wei official office arbitrarily requisitioned the people of Tuntian to build water conservancy projects, and the Tuntian guests not only wanted to build Tuntian, but also had to serve forced labor, which was too much.

In order to effectively control the personal freedom of the Tuntian guests, the Cao Wei government adopted the system of scholars with hostages as the core of coercion on the Tuntian people, as long as they became the Tuntian people, their children and grandchildren could not be free people, and the whole family was controlled by the government to work everywhere, as long as the Tuntian people fled, the government would kill their wives and children, and even exterminate the clan.

Moreover, the mature land opened up by the people of Tuntian, with the passage of time, was eventually annexed again by the Cao clan, wealthy officers, and nobles.

History seems to draw a circle, the fertile land of ordinary serfs in the Han Dynasty was annexed by Zhuhao, and in the troubled times, it became waste land in the hands of Zhuhao, and the displaced people became Tuntian people and then went to reclaim the waste land, and the waste land became fertile land and was annexed by Zhuhao......

Liu Jian felt that in the case of chaos in the world, the Tuntian method was indeed an effective way to reduce the number of displaced people and maintain social stability, although Cao Wei's Tuntian did gradually evolve into a slavery system, but this does not mean that there is a problem with Tuntian itself, it can only be said that the Cao Wei regime has too much oppression of the Tuntian people.

The fault of man-made problems cannot be attributed to the tuntian system.

Nowadays, the Montenegrin army in Hebei is extremely rampant, and in a sense, there are too many displaced people.

The displaced people who had no food entered Montenegro, the Montenegrin army grew and plundered, and the thieves were everywhere, which led to the unrest of the prefectures, and the county town could not produce stably, resulting in more displaced people, and the displaced people could only enter Montenegro again because they could not eat enough...... It's a vicious circle again.

At present, in addition to the formation of the Jizhou Army, it is also necessary to block the source of troops of the Montenegrin Army.

In a sense, the implementation of Tuntian can greatly limit the growth of the Montenegrin army's power.
