Chapter 543 Linxing Jianghuai
Liu Bei toured Xu Yang this time, not only to worship the ancestors of Queen Mi, but also to inspect the Wuyue counties to see if the people and officials were lazy and lazy.
The first stop Yuzhang, Jiangzhou Thorn Shi Xu Shu as a companion, Liu Bei inspected Chaisang County, and the county magistrate Zhou Yi talked, when the monarch said that the governance of Poyang, Zhou Yi played the strategy of governing Poyang, which surprised Liu Bei.
Poyang County, which was precipitated from Yuzhang County in the past, is located between Poyang Lake and Danyang Mountain.
Huo Jun, the first county guard, formed the Jiangzuo Water Division by leveling the Poyang water thieves. Later, as Huo Jun's governance focus was in Jiangbei, Poyang County was governed by others.
Since then, Poyang County has been affected by governance problems and a special geographical location. Ordinary people often fled into Poyang Lake to avoid taxes or military service, so as to hide or become water thieves.
Officers and soldiers marched in, and water thieves hid in the lake; Officers and soldiers withdrew, and water thieves plundered the surrounding towns and counties. Even if a county warden can temporarily quell the water thieves, it will not be long before the water thieves will breed again. Over time, the name of Poyang County as difficult to govern spread in the Southern Han Dynasty.
At present, there are only 6,100 households registered in Poyang County, which is far less than the 8,000 household registrations verified by Huo Jun when the county was first established. The difficulty of governing Poyang County is so high that it not only gives Jiangzhou Assassin Xu Shu a headache, but also makes Wuhan Shangqing helpless.
Zhou Yi's strategy for governing the county provided Liu Bei with a detailed analysis of why water thieves often appeared in Poyang County and the reasons for the decrease in household registration.
And Zhou Yi pointed out in the recital that Poyang County is due to its special geographical location, so the people are easy to move and difficult to settle. In the future, we will try not to recruit troops in Poyang County, and even reduce taxes and the number of conscriptions for the people of Poyang County. If it can be done, Poyang County will be safe in the future.
Seeing that Zhou Yi had a general plan, Liu Bei immediately adopted Zhou Yi's suggestion and promoted him to be the Taishou of Poyang County, and was also in charge of the soldiers and horses of the county, and ruled Poyang County.
The second station Lujiang, deputy governor Pang Tong, and county guard Gao Xiang accompanied. Liu Bei went to Shucheng and praised the water conservancy project of Qimen Sanyan, and was very happy to see the people of Jiangzuo and Huaimin returning to their hometowns one after another.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Bei and Pang Tong went south from Chaohu, passing through Shicheng, Wuhu and other places in the middle, and finally arrived in Jiangdu.
Hearing that Liu Bei went to Jiangdu, Huo Jun led Jiang Ji, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, Huo Du, Liu Ji and other Jianghuai civil and military forces to Jiangkou to greet Liu Bei.
That night, Liu Bei invited Jianghuai Wenwu to a banquet and chatted with everyone a few times, but because Queen Mi was unwell, the banquet ended hastily.
In the early morning of the next day, Liu Bei and his attendants rode to the camp to inspect the Jianghuai soldiers and horses.
"Boom~"
Chen Zhi held the talisman in his hand and led the forbidden army to gallop over more than 100 horses.
When he arrived at the entrance of Dayingkou, Chen Zhi grabbed the reins and looked up, but saw that the guards were each wearing armor, wielding sharp blades, and equipped with bows and crossbows.
At this time, I saw Chen to ride to Bailai, and the soldiers were already wound with crossbows and bows, and they were on guard.
Chen Zhi rode his horse slowly, held the talisman, and shouted: "The Son of Heaven is coming, please open the door to welcome him!" ”
The doorman rode out and replied, "The governor is already waiting in the village, and the general will enter the camp to verify the charm!" ”
"No!"
Chen Zhi asked the attendants to return to Liu Bei, and he himself led his troops into the barracks first.
Huo Jun, as always, personally checked the runes in Chen's hand, ordered the military gate to be opened, and personally led the Chinese martial arts of the battalion to the camp gate to welcome Liu Bei.
In a few moments, the smoke and dust are billowing in front of you, and there is a large number of war horses galloping, and the flags are tall and tall, and its momentum is huge.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
Huo Jun greeted and led everyone forward.
Liu Bei held the railing of the car, wore a golden silk armor, and although his sideburns were white, he became more and more majestic, and the king's spirit became heavier.
"Phew!"
Holding the reins, the steed slowly stopped.
"Chenjun greets Your Majesty!"
Huo Jun led everyone to salute and said: "With the armor on your body, you will salute with a military salute, I hope your majesty will forgive me!" ”
Liu Bei looked at the slaughtering camp and bowed his head slightly, looking very satisfied.
Ma Liang grabbed the reins and stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty has an order, and the generals are exempted." Please go with the Marquis of Gangneung! ”
"Your Majesty's car is driving, and it is inconvenient for Jun to go along!" Huo Jun postponed.
Liu Bei said in a rough voice: "Zhong Miao has passed through Jianghuai, and his hard work is high, and for Han, he should have great merit." Please get in the car and walk with me! ”
"No!"
With Liu Bei's approval, Huo Junfang dared to step on the footstool and get into the car.
got into the car, and without waiting for Huo Jun to say hello, Liu Bei held Huo Jun's hand and said with a smile: "Last night, I wanted to get drunk with you, but unfortunately the queen was unwell because she was in a hurry, and Fang ended hastily." If there is time today, I should not get drunk with you. ”
"I wonder how His Highness is doing?" Huo Jun asked.
"Nothing!"
Liu Bei took Huo Jun's hand and said, "The boat ride has been too long, and my spirit is tired. I asked a doctor to prescribe it last night, and today it should be fine. ”
Saying that, Liu Bei pointed to the Jianghuai camp and said with a smile: "I haven't watched the Zhongmiao soldiers for a long time, and today I will enter the camp for review!" ”
"Your Majesty, please parade!"
Under Liu Bei's orders, the attendants galloped into the camp in a carriage.
When he was about to enter the gate, the soldiers held spears and stopped, forced the attendants to stop, and said in a deep voice: "According to military law, it is forbidden to gallop in the camp. If you want to gallop, please ask Your Majesty and the Governor to revise the military order. ”
Yushou wanted to be angry, but was stopped by Liu Bei, and said: "This is not a palace house, you need to follow the military order, and follow the reins." ”
After a pause, Liu Bei instructed: "Come here, the soldiers will perform their duties and reward them with money and food." ”
"No!"
With Liu Bei opening, the royal hand pressed the bridle. The ministers also lowered their speed and followed behind Liu Bei's chariot.
As the car drove slowly into the camp, the musicians beat the drums and played music, and the sound of drums resounded throughout the barracks; The soldiers lined up on the left and right, shouting long live.
Liu Bei beckoned to the soldiers lined up on the left and right, and Chen Zhi led the cavalry to guard both sides in order to avoid accidents.
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
Listening to the tsunami-like shouts of the mountains, Liu Bei was very satisfied, and said that Huo Jun said: "Looking at the military situation, the physique is burly, and it is for the elite; Listening to it, morale is high, and it can be of great use. I heard that Zhong Miao's generals were the best in the country, and they were on a par with the forbidden army. Seeing it today, what you say is true. ”
"The forbidden army is the elite of the Quartet, and the Huai soldiers dare not compare with it. If His Majesty is brave and brave, he may be able to send some elites to Beijing. Huo Jun replied.
"Jianghuai is close to the Central Plains, how can there be no elite guards?"
Liu Bei shook his head with a smile and said, "Zhong Miao led this sharp soldier, which can be used for the Northern Expedition." If you live in Wuhan, you should feel desolate! ”
Yu Ban in the crowd sighed secretly when he looked at the Jianghuai military camp that was slaughtered.
He is known for his strict management of the army, and now he sees that the camp governed by Huo Jun is gradually ashamed of himself. He originally thought that Huo Jun would be able to defeat them Cao Wei often, and he relied on his soldiers to skip others. However, all the way down, he realized that in terms of military discipline, Huo Jun's subordinates were also better than them.
Coldly, Liu Bei asked in the car: "Wen Ze, how are the soldiers of Huo Du's generals compared to you?" ”
Since Yu Ban was captured by Guan Yu, he has eaten and drunk well in the Southern Han Dynasty, and often appeared as Liu Bei's Wei army adviser. Today, Liu Bei patrols the Jianghuai in the east, and follows the left and right in the ban.
Yu Forbidden immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the military discipline is strict, and now when he sees the soldiers of Huo Du's generals, he thinks that the military discipline should be better in the lower department. The soldiers and horses commanded by the Gai Cao Gong may be on a par with the Jianghuai soldiers and horses. ”
Don't be fooled by stereotypes, don't look at Cao Cao's slaughter of Xuzhou, but in terms of strict military discipline, there are almost no generals in the late Han Dynasty except for Zhuge Liang.
Even people always have the impression that the Mongol army killed, burned and looted, and there was no military discipline at all. In fact, its Mongolian military discipline is far beyond everyone's imagination.
There were eleven beheadings in the Mongol army, the most famous of which were two beheadings, for looting and lack of discipline.
What is looting, that is, before the end of the war, no one is allowed to seize the spoils of war, and if there is a violation of the order, beheading.
There is no discipline system, that is, when marching and camping, it is forbidden to damage nearby farmland and harass the people. There are grazing sheep and horses trampling on fields and gnawing fruit trees; or trespass into the homes of the people to slaughter chickens and take away their property. Offending soldiers and officers were all punished with heavy fines.
Therefore, the Mengyuan army has a great contrast, on the one hand, it is excessive killing, and on the other hand, the military discipline is extremely strict. You can even see in the Mongol army, without a military order, it rains heavily, and the Mongol soldiers would rather get drenched in the rain than force their way into the house and snatch the rain gear.
Of course, the urine nature of the nomads cannot be obediently obedient, so Mongolia also has a military order, to redeem the crime with merit, that is, the crime should be the dead, and the merit will be exempted.
Listening to Yu Ban's words, the generals of Jianghuai showed disdain. Like many Han generals, they looked down on Yu Ban, who surrendered for glory.
Ding Feng sneered a few times, drew his whip, and said, "How dare you say that the military discipline is strict? How dare you go with Your Majesty and Huo Du? ”
Hearing this, Yu Ban glanced at Ding Feng, suddenly felt ashamed, slowed down, and did not dare to drive with the car.
Seeing this, Liu Bei scolded in a deep voice and said: "Yu Jun is the secretary of the Han Dynasty, how dare Qing be so lazy?" ”
Ding Feng saw that it was Liu Bei who was angry, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to confess and retreat.
"Don't care about Wenze!"
Liu Bei Haosheng appeased him, and let the car continue to move forward.
Yu Ban replied weakly, and didn't dare to say anything anymore.
Since he surrendered to the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei has repeatedly emphasized courtesy to Yu Ban, and some people have always looked down on him, but Yu Ban has gradually become accustomed to it. Now that he was insulted by Ding Feng, who was much younger than him, he didn't dare to fight back with words. I probably knelt too much and couldn't stand up.
As the car drove forward, Huo Jun confessed and said: "Ding Feng is illiterate and vulgar, I hope Your Majesty will calm his anger." ”
"Nothing!"
Liu Bei didn't care, and said with a smile: "There are many martial artists in the army like this, how can you not be angry when you see people talking about it!" ”
