Chapter 140 Six Million Stones

"Lord, 80,000 auxiliary soldiers have been selected," Gao Shun, who was responsible for the selection, came to report: "The auxiliary soldiers will be scattered into the tent of each team. One combat soldier will dispatch one auxiliary soldiers. The auxiliary soldiers are responsible for reducing the burden and labor of the combat soldiers during non-war periods, so that the combat soldiers can have plenty of energy and physical strength during training and fighting. When marching, transporting food and baggage, a team of auxiliary soldiers can be gathered together to complete the physical strength of the formal combat soldiers. When attacking, the auxiliary soldiers stay in the camp to assist the remaining combat soldiers and undertake part of the defensive tasks, not to mention when defending."

"The auxiliary soldiers are scattered into the tents of each team?" Lu Bu questioned: "After all, the auxiliary soldiers have few training and experience few battle formations. If they are mixed with the combat soldiers, they will only weaken the combat effectiveness of regular combat soldiers. This cannot be set up like this."

"Lord, I mean to manage the warriors and auxiliary soldiers based on teams." Gao Shun explained: "When setting up camps, the auxiliary soldiers and the combat soldiers are divided into two camps. Whether they are guarding against the enemy's night attack on the camp or during the march, the auxiliary soldiers are required to quickly leave the warrior camp and form a formation. Finally, they will strictly urge the generals at all levels below to train the auxiliary soldiers."

"Yes, that's it." Lu Bu nodded and then asked: "When attacked during the march, how should these auxiliary soldiers form camp defense?"

Gao Shun replied respectfully: "40% of the auxiliary soldiers carry six or seven feet long iron-pointed wooden spears. This spear is easier to build than a short knife and is easier to carry. 30% of the auxiliary soldiers carry crossbows, and 30% of the auxiliary soldiers cross the sword and shield. When attacked on the way, they usually encounter enemy cavalry, because most of the auxiliary soldiers use horse-drawn carriages and ox carriages to transport food and supplies. Once attacked, the auxiliary soldiers quickly surround these cars. The spearmen are inside the circle, close to the carriage, and aim the spears at the cavalry horses that rushed up from the outside. The archers shoot inside and outside. The sword and shield hands protect the archers and spearmen from the enemy's cavalry while killing the enemy soldiers rushing into the chariot formation. The auxiliary soldiers rely on the chariot formation to block the enemy cavalry for a while, and the formal soldiers will come to rescue the siege soon."

Lu Bu nodded: "It's so good, but I remember that we rarely fought like this in Bingzhou before. Can this fight against the alien cavalry?"

"The lord is very worried. Except for Li Ling, this kind of chariot array has been used to meet the enemy, and he rarely uses it. I don't know if it can still exert its power now. I will continue to improve in training in the future to achieve the best results." Gao Shun is striving for excellence in military training, and his loyalty, Lu Bu feels at ease to let him train all the infantry of the official army for himself. As for the cavalry, there are Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Gao Lan in charge, and the crossbow soldiers are Huang Zhong, Hao Zhao and other generals responsible for training.

Lu Bu asked Han Hao to recruit some refugees in Hanoi County. In addition, the surrendered troops were completely eliminated, and a total of 200,000 were handed over to Han Hao. Han Hao was officially appointed as the General of the Dian Nong Army.

Regarding this appointment and military farming plan, Lu Bu specially invited the Queen Mother He Lian, Emperor Liu Bian to discuss it with the other five ministers of the regent.

Lu Bu did not waste his words, but asked Han Hao to explain the benefits of the military farming strategy: "The emperor came to Jizhou, but no one from Jizhou's aristocratic families came to welcome him. This shows that the aristocratic families have no loyalty and righteousness towards the court. The future of the court must be self-reliant and not rely on the Jizhou aristocratic families. Although Jizhou has a population of more than 5 million, half of them are in the hands of the aristocratic families, and a small half are in the hands of the Hanshu landlords. The less than one million people can be paid taxes by the court and can be recruited in it. Moreover, these million self-cultivated civilians are bullied and squeezed by the aristocratic families and are dying. If the court wants to collect taxes from them, it will only be a drop in the bucket. If they want to get from them

The recruitment of elite soldiers there is also a way to seek fish from a tree. For the sake of the present, it is to recruit refugees from all over the place, recruit soldiers from all over the place, choose the land without a master, and the government provides seeds, oxen and farm tools to let them cultivate and cultivate. The harvest obtained is divided by the government and the garrison in proportion, which can be divided into four or six or five. The court gives them food, let them survive, and lends them seeds, oxen and farm tools to allow them to live and work in peace and well-being. They become the people under the rule of the court and will be grateful to the court. The court can recruit elite soldiers from these refugees. After the farming harvest, the court can have enough food and food, so that the court can calmly deal with the aristocratic families who are not afraid of the court."

The Empress Dowager and the Dukes of the Court all nodded and said yes.

There are many aristocratic families in Jizhou. If the imperial court wants to live here for a long time, it cannot expect those aristocratic families that are lip service. They can only rely on military farming to accumulate strength.

Han Hao also used the clear example of the great fortune of military farming in Zhao Chongguo during the Western Han Dynasty to illustrate the story of Zhao Chongguo in the Western Han Dynasty.

During the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han, the Western Qiang rebelled. Zhao Chongguo, a famous general over 70 years old, recommended himself and personally took charge of the battle to quell the rebellion. After Zhao Chongguo had a full understanding of the logistics support conditions such as food and supplies, he found that transporting grain from the rear was very expensive and easily cut off the grain route by the enemy. So he decided to farm in the border area. This not only saved a lot of military expenditure, corvee labor, etc. when the national treasury was empty and the finances were tight, but also strengthened border defense construction and increased

It has improved its ability to resist enemy forces, increased its resources and reduced expenditures, and effectively guaranteed national security. In one fell swoop, Zhao Chongguo reclaimed more than 2,000 hectares of land with more than 10,000 soldiers. "Listen to the trunk for military preparation, and the fields were built into valleys, and his power and virtue were carried out in parallel." The 50,000 troops of the Western Qiang were actually wiped out by Zhao Chongguo one after another. In the end, Zhao Chongguo summarized the famous "Listen to the twelve things", namely the twelve benefits of farming.

Han Hao said all the twelve benefits of farming, and everyone was very excited after listening to it.

The last six ministers and the queen mother, the emperor jointly issued an edict for military farming: "The fundamental plan for safekeeping and stabilizing the country is to strengthen the army and have enough food. In the past, Qin State unified the six countries because of heavy farming and war, and Emperor Wu consolidated the Western Regions because of farming and bordering. These are all good strategies of the predecessors and worthy of imitation by today's people. Nowadays, people's livelihood is declining, refugees are everywhere, and the fields are deserted, and there are starving people on the road. The military and civilians have no food to resist the disaster. In order to protect the country's country's long-term country, Han Hao was specially appointed as the general of the Dianyuan, responsible for the military farming plan. All the unowned wasteland belongs to the state. Han Hao recruited refugees and the bandits of Baibo and Heishan to reclaim wasteland and stabilize refugees. Officials and gentry from all over the country shall not interfere with the military farming plan, otherwise it will be treated as military law!"

Han Hao was the general of the Diannong Central Army, Chang Lin was the chief clerk of the Diannong Central Army. Under the Diannong Central Army, under the Diannong Central Army, under the Diannong Central Army, under the Diannong Central Army, under the Diannong Central Army, under the Diannong Central Army, under the Diannong Central Army, there was the Diannong Sima, and under the Diannong Sima, there was the governor of the garrison. In this way, the residents of the garrison were fully militarized. The farmers of the garrison were not allowed to leave at will, and the residents of the garrison were not affiliated with the counties.

A village contains 1,000 people, and the garrison commander is established, building Wubao, and farming is done in daily life. During the slack farming period, the village has a field protection team of 100 people. The village chief is responsible for supervising and teaching the villagers to farm, and at the same time defending against harassment by aristocratic families and thieves.

There is a Diannong Sima in the five villages, with a jurisdiction of 5,000 garrisons; there is a Diannong Sima in the four Diannong Sima in the four Diannong Sima in the four Diannong Sima in the four Diannong Sima in the four Diannong Sima in the four Diannong Sima in the four Diannong Sima in the four Diannong Sima in the four Diannong Sima in the four Diann

Currently, Han Hao is the General of the Diannong Army and the First Diannong Army Captain, Chang Lin and the Second Diannong Army Captain. The Diannong Army Captain, Diannong Sima, and the Gate Commander are all composed of the wounded soldiers of the villagers and the official army brought by Han Hao from Hanoi. A small part of them are well-known among the Black Mountain soldiers.

When more refugees come, Han Hao's official position will be promoted from Diannong General to Diannong General, and the Diannong generals below will also give different promotions based on their respective performance in managing the garrisons.

Most of the 200,000 people specialize in farming and planting grain crops such as millet and wheat.

The eliminated Hun cavalry led some eliminated black bandit cavalry to herd war horses, horses, plowing oxen and sheep for the official army.

Those disabled residents went to raise pigs and chickens, or surrounded lakes, rivers such as Huangze Lake and raised fish, ducks and geese.

Some of the extremely vicious guys were sent to mine, dig coal from Heishan Mountain, and dig iron ore from mountains near Handan. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, mines were more difficult and could be used to exterminate these people.

Among these 200,000 people, there are very few women, less than two thousand people. They cannot afford to organize common households, cannot engage in family contracting, and can only divide land according to individuals.

Two hundred thousand people followed the joint edict of the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and the Six Auxiliary Ministers, and spread them to Wei County, Julu County, Qinghe County, Zhao County, and Henei County, etc., in units of Tun, and were scattered to several counties closer to Yecheng.

Especially in the counties near Heishan, where bandits in the mountains were rampant, the people fled to famine, and the aristocratic families did not dare to gain a foothold there, so there were a large number of deserted fields. The residents of the garrison divided their respective areas according to the garrison and started large-scale garrison farming.

Lu Bu was a good lord who loved the people and cherished the people, so his military farming policy was much more preferential than Cao Aman in history. It stipulates that in the first year, the official and the people were divided into 55% of the share, and the government's share was reduced by half a year, 45% of the second year, 45% of the third year, 35% of the fourth year, 35% of the fifth year, 30% of the land, and after five years, the land belongs to the individual.

Han Hao did some calculations: "My lord, it's September now, and you will start planting wheat in another month. By harvesting wheat in May next year, planting summer millet after harvesting wheat, and then harvesting millet again in September. In this year, each garrison will have to eat about ten stones of grain, and 200,000 garrisons will have to eat two million stones of grain to survive. Each garrison will get ten acres of land, and these two million mu of fields will use 500,000 garrisons of grain. The average yield of wheat per mu is only one stone and five dou of corn per mu is three stones. In this way, nine million stones can be obtained in one year. After 55% of the garrisons, the government can get four.5 million stones. The government has to pay back the seeds and repay the life-saving grain owed to the government by credit, and only half of them are allowed to repay them, totaling one million. In this way, the government can get six million stones of grain."
