Chapter 47 Winter Meeting ([-])
Guanghe three years (AD 180).
Spring, the first month, Guiyou, pardons the world.
In April of Xia, the Jiangxia barbarians rebelled. Lu Kang, the governor of Lujiang, led his army to attack and defeated them. The Jiangxia barbarians and other troops surrendered.
Autumn, Jiuquan earthquake.
winter.
Liu Han was sitting on the mat, attending to official duties.
"Brother Emperor, it's getting more and more outrageous. There is also Lu Qiang, the regular servant, and Zhang Rang doesn't care about it."
Liu Han held the information from Luoyang Wang Yue in his hand, "Look, what is this? It doesn't matter if you build a garden, but why are you brutally destroying farmland and killing the residents? It's just a matter of studying businessmanship in Xiyuan, and you are still fooling around. A dog makes a fool of a donkey, the price of a donkey in Luoyang is damn close to that of a horse!"
After throwing away the report, Liu Han immediately sat down again and rubbed his temples, "Damn Lu Qiang, I will find an opportunity to kill you!"
"Lord."
At this time, Tian Feng and Xi Zhong came to report, followed by Mi Zhu, Su Shuang, Zhang He and others.
Later, the five commander-in-chiefs came in: Duan Ji from Yanmen County, Wang Rou from Dingxiang County, Xu Huang from Wuyuan County, Huang Zhong from Yunzhong County, and Xu Rong from Shuofang County.
"Oh, Yuan Hao, Zhicai, are you here?"
"Well, my lord, after more than half a year of development, another 25 people have moved into the five northern counties of Bingzhou. We will select the best and recruit another 180 troops."
"The number of troops is secondary. The most important thing is the execution and combat effectiveness of the army. How about the supplies?"
Liu Han looked at Mi Zhu. Compared with soldiers, Liu Han paid more attention to logistics. In ancient wars, logistics was more important.
"My lord, due to donations from various parties at the beginning of the year and various other reasons, the food is enough to support an army of [-] for three years. The three of us will also transport food reserves to the north that can support an army of [-] for half a year within one year."
Liu Han nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, my dear friends."
Half a year's rations for an army of [-] people can pile up into a small mountain. You can imagine how difficult it is.
"The five counties in the North are exempted from tax for three years. The people's lives can be more comfortable. We must ensure that they have surplus food for the winter. The war is fought against people. The people's hearts must not be lost. We must strictly investigate those who deceive the superiors and conceal the truth, as well as the ruffians. , Gangsters, sometimes these flies are more hateful than the nobles, if you catch them, they will be sent to build the Great Wall alone."
"Here."
Tian Feng sang, "Don't worry, my lord, Feng has already made arrangements when he was first settled. If anyone dares to show up in the five counties of the North who drinks human blood, Feng Ding will kill him." "Where are the other supplies? Winter clothes and shoes for the soldiers. , is there enough ginger soup and medicine?"
"Don't worry, my lord, everything has been sent out."
This was Zhang He's responsibility. Zhang He had been worrying about this for a whole year, getting up early and working late every day. Finally, he completed the task. Before he was 30 years old, his temples were turning white.
Finally, there are weapons and horses.
"My lord, the craftsmen from the five counties in the North plus their apprentices will only have 5 people, but if you include the purchases from other places, it is enough. As for the war horses, there are [-] war horses that can be fought this year, plus the war horses from Liangzhou and Youzhou The twenty thousand horses purchased will be sufficient for the army.”
Su Shuang could swear that he was not lazy at all. He really tried his best, but he failed to get things done. Some of the 2 war horses were used for daily training and some were used as stallions. It is estimated that only three of them can truly form combat effectiveness. Fifteen thousand horses, and these war horses can only equip [-] people at most.
Seeing Su Shuangzhan's trembling look, Liu Han knew that he had done his best and comforted him softly: "Zi Ou, thank you for your hard work. And everyone, you have all worked hard this year. I see all your efforts this year. For Big man, you have worked hard, everyone, please accept my worship!"
"My lord!" ×10 The five of them looked at Liu Han and bowed in return. They thought they would be blamed if things didn't go well, but they didn't expect their lord to be so reasonable.
If you treat me with a state scholar, I will repay it! The Lord's generosity is not a reason for my laziness. I must work harder! "Everyone, I want to say one more thing. Your body is your capital. Don't overwork yourself. You must rest when you need to rest. You must go to the monthly health checkup. I want you to accompany me and see the big man Huanghuang together."
"My lord!" ×10 Although working under the lord is very tiring, the lord gives him a lot of things. In addition to the monthly salary, there are also other things, such as bounty, fine wine, famous inkstones, and fine ink. These things are valuable but not marketable. For someone like Su Shuang, who has been running around outside, there is also a bonus, which the Lord calls "subsidy."
Not only them, but also the people working under them, including the soldiers, got more than ordinary people thought, so that everyone below them was killed.
To be honest, the Han people have relocated to their new home. If they couldn't survive in the original place, no one would be willing to come to a bitter and cold place like Bingbei.
Especially being a soldier.
Men who join the army basically do it to earn a living, but it is different here. They train during the day and learn culture, writing, and knowledge at night.
Each recruit is asked two questions: What is the purpose of coming here to serve as a soldier? What else can there be after leaving the military camp? Later, they understood the prince’s good intentions. Serving as a soldier was not only for himself, but also for the sake of his fathers and fellow villagers who would support him after his death, so as to avoid the suffering of war. When we leave the military camp, we still have knowledge and culture, so that we will not become Wandering stragglers.
Therefore, unknowingly and under the deliberate guidance of the generals, although Liu Han did not accompany them in the military camp every day to share joys and sorrows, his prestige in the army was unparalleled.
"Winter is here. I guess the pack of hungry wolves in the north can't wait for a long time and want to go south to plunder. If you have any ideas, please feel free to speak out."
At this time, Xi Zhi walked to the side of the map, pointed at it and said: "Lord, please look at it. At present, the people who have moved to the north are mainly concentrated in Yanmen County and Dingxiang County. We rely on the Great Wall defense line to build A protective circle.
If the enemy wants to go south, the first is to go south from Qiangyin, cross the Yanmenguan Mountain, open Pingcheng, and go straight to the Yin Hall of Yanmen County. The second is to go along the Huangganshui to Yunzhong, then turn to Tongguo and Luoxian, and then go to the east of Guandong. Advance to Wuzhou and Mayi, or go directly south from Pianguan into Xihe County. "
(The ancient Yanmen Pass is different from the current one. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Hai Nei Xi Jing" says: "Yanmen Mountain, where geese come out, is in the north of Gaoliu." Therefore, the earliest Yanmen Mountain should actually be located before Yanggao County. North. Far away from what is now known as Dai County.
Pianguan Pass is a county under the jurisdiction of Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province. Due to its prominent strategic position, it was heavily guarded in the Yuan Dynasty and changed to Piantou Pass. In the Ming Dynasty, a nine-border town was set up along the Great Wall. There are two places in Shanxi, one is Datong Town and the other is Piantou Pass. He was stationed at Pianguan for Shanxi is located at the junction of Shanxi and Mongolia in the northwest of Shanxi. It faces the Jungar Banner of Inner Mongolia across the Yellow River to the northwest, borders Qingshuihe County of Inner Mongolia to the north to the Great Wall, and borders the counties of Shanxi to the southeast. The Great Wall crisscrosses the territory and twists and turns. Winding, mountains and rivers are dotted with pass and forts. ) (End of this chapter)
