Chapter 3 Returning to the East
Compared to when they came, the return journey of the Shen army on Huai Shang was much slower. There was no way, there was too much spoil. Fortunately, they also obtained enough cars to load, and the marching speed was only a little slower, but Wang Yue could imagine that after passing Yindi, the speed would still be reduced.
Because as a whole, the marching speed of an army does not depend on the fastest group of people running, but the slowest group, including a large number of Jidi warriors, the surrendered military soldiers is undoubtedly this group of people. It would be good to be able to walk thirty miles a day by then.
Fortunately, after the soldiers of Cai State broke the elephant, it was not so easy for nearly 4,000 troops to go south to attack Jidi.
This is how the army is. If it is composed of a few people and a group of warriors, it can move with movement. It can sail one or two hundred miles a day, and even without logistics at all. It can be satisfied by hunting or something. However, if there are more people, it will be different if there are more than 400,000 people.
In this era, organizing so many people to engage in war is not an easy task. It is a harsh task to just command and arrange the army to move forward, not to mention other things. The most troublesome thing is logistics. Forty-hundreds of thousands of people eat the food chewed by horses, they have to be transported from the rear by the civilians.
It can be said that the logistics line of the army must extend accordingly wherever the logistics line is. The longer the logistics line, the more laborious it will be to transport grain. The more civilians need to participate in the transportation of grain, and even increase in geometric numbers. Then the problem arises. The transportation of grain depends on manpower to accumulate strength. The slow movement is not only limited, but the civilians and cattle and horses are also talking, and they have to eat some of the food on the road. After transporting the grain, they have to eat it. If the journey is too long, it may not be enough for them to eat back and forth on the road. And how fast and far a militant can a military fight, the biggest constraint is actually here.
As for the freedom of fighting with hundreds of thousands of troops without logistics, if you can't rely on hunting and supplying food to fight, you may only happen in the fairy world. There are so many beasts in the fairy world that can't be killed, and you can refresh it if you kill them... It may also happen in heaven, and milk and honey are everywhere in heaven.
After Cai State defeated Xiangdu this time, the next target was not to mention the Huai Shang coalition forces that occupied Jidi Land from the north;.
If he wants to go south to attack Jidi, it is very easy for the army to march south, but the logistics cannot be like this.
First, the transfer of Xiangguo is long, and Xiangguo is not peaceful, so the army and logistics have to be adjusted at the same time. This adjustment is simple, with the organizational and administrative efficiency of this era, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
On the eighth day of the lunar calendar, Wang Yue's army arrived at the first stop of the Yin land of Rushen again.
Wang Yue had been waiting for the shadow to come again along the way, but he seemed to have disappeared from this world or given up, but he never appeared again. However, Wang Yue vaguely felt that this person would never give up so simply and would definitely appear again in the future.
At the same time, he was also waiting for Wen Li to come to join him, but it seemed that he was not strong enough to be a domineering spirit, and Wen Li did not appear.
Since this is the case, he would not force it.
He did everything he should do, gave him the opportunity he should give, and even left a message in person. Since he didn't come, what else can he say?
After arriving in Yindi, the army, together with Yindi, had prepared 20,000 troops, nearly 40,000 military soldiers who surrendered, and 20,000 civilians, began to return to the east in a mighty way. It took far twice as much time as it came and finally arrived in Jixi on August 16th.
Shen arrived, Zhao Wu and five snake-patterned warriors led some of the working teams from all over the country to welcome him. Of course, they were not only here to welcome Wang Yue to return victoriously, but more importantly, the martial soldiers and civilians brought back by Wang Yue. After these people returned to Jidi, they had to be properly placed.
"Young Master, congratulations to you, your son, for returning from the victory of the Agshen Desheng." As soon as he arrived, Zhao Wu came to congratulate him.
Wang Yue smiled: "No need to say these useless words. You should arrange all the military soldiers and civilians first, ask them to return to their hometowns first, and then divide all the land that should be given to them."
He also said to the Huaibo Priest beside him: "I will order the general that the army will rest in Jixi for one day and go to Jili from tomorrow."
The priest Huaibo went to pass the orders, the Huai Shang army went to set up camp, and the working team brought by Shen Dao also began to shout everywhere, summoning and organizing the military soldiers and civilians in their respective towns and towns to prepare to take them back to the Jidi area to be placed in various places.
"Send all the martial soldiers back to their original hometown?" Zhao Wu said in confusion: "Many of the martial soldiers are Ji Di's regular military strength in the past. They have been trained and have been on the battlefield. Is it a pity to dismiss them all?"
Wang Yue said: "But let them scatter first. When they see their families, they will divide the land and feel at ease. Now that the large army on the Huai River gathers in the land, for the time being, there is no need for too much military force in the territory. We can also take this opportunity to clear up the government."
"As for the military affairs, you can let it go later and wait until the governance is straightened out." After thinking about it, he said, "But this matter can be planned now. After a while, I will come up with a charter in accordance with the Linan Manor and wait until the governance is straightened out before gradually implementing it."
After a pause, Wang Yue explained again: "We are following the elite military route. If the governance is not straightened out, there will be not so much money and food to support more powerful military forces."
Zhao Wu nodded. He trained Wudang Army in Linan Manor with one hand, and of course he knew what the military pay and daily food consumption of this army were.
It can be said that at least ten farmers can only raise one of them for farming. This does not include the weapons, armor and other equipment in their hands, and various losses. It can be said that there is not enough money and food. It is okay to build a team of ten thousand people in small numbers, but it is impossible to want more.
But it is obvious that if the snake Yu regained the country, he had to face the country like Cai, which is like a country with ten thousand races. How can a team of ten thousand people be enough?
After talking to Zhao Wu for a while, Wang Yue asked Shen Zhiji about the current political situation.
The governance of Jidi is quite good. Everyone in Jidi is favored by his rule, so everyone is supported by him. He has long since thrown the Jiyi doctor and Ji family to the horizon. This is undoubtedly a great thing. At least if it were other doctors, they might have never been so supported in their own territory, but there are still many shortcomings. The biggest shortcoming is the lack of talents who can govern reads;.
Although Zhao Wu has arranged for various places to select and convene all kinds of useful local people like Linan Manor, today's Jidi and Linan Manor are different from Linan Manor. Linan Manor is just a manor, so it is really not big, so it is naturally easy to manage.
In comparison, Zhijidi is too big now, and this situation is simply impossible to be like in Linan Manor.
Think about it, just like a small business, when there are only three or two people, the boss takes the lead in working hard. If there are any problems with the employees, the boss can correct them at any time. But the company has become bigger and has dozens or hundreds of people. Can the boss still see everything and deal with everything in person?
This not only requires a system, but also requires a large number of talents who can do things and deal with problems.
This is the case with a small business. Moreover, Wang Yue's territory was not as simple as a hundred people at this time. He only had a population of 600,000 or 700,000 people. In terms of population alone, it was nearly 700,000 times that of Linan Manor. But did he have 70 or 80 Zhao Wu or Shi Guang who could manage Linan Manor alone?
Regarding this issue, even if Wang Yue has a strong personal ability, he has no choice but to take it slowly.
However, when the general education of Linan Manor has achieved results, it may be much better. After all, people in Linan Manor, in addition to receiving general education, living under Linan Manor, are deeply influenced by the Linan model. At that time, you only need to organize one or two more trainings to be used.
Thinking of this, Wang Yue slightly went to the body of Snake Si who sent back to Linan when he left Huai, mobilized his physical authority to find out the progress.
After a moment, Wang Yue nodded.
Judging from the progress obtained from Snake Si.
The original literacy practitioners in Linan Manor, except for mathematics, did not understand other courses, at least they learned them in a hurry. Many people copied various general knowledge as textbooks, and have been arranged by Shi Guang to be the teachers of the merchants.
Because the shopkeepers were originally illiterate, it was very difficult to learn literacy courses, but it was easy to listen to the lectures in basic military training and some basic natural knowledge except mathematics.
Overall, the efficiency is pretty good, but the basic mathematics item is the slowest, but this is caused by his omissions.
It is correct that he asked Shi Guang to implement this matter, but Shi Guang himself learned more mathematics than general education, and he did not understand Arabic numerals. That is, after Snake Si returned to Linan Manor, he obtained this general knowledge from the broiler network, and thus understood mathematics. Linan Manor only had basic mathematics courses.
From this point of view, he said that it would take half a year for the people who arrived in Yanli Nan Manor to make preliminary use of it. It was really true.
When Tong Shen arrived, Zhao Wu and others exchanged, and arranged to handle some matters, Wang Yue still returned to the camp of the Huai Shang Army.
At present, the battle between the Huai Shang coalition and Cai State was the first priority.
As soon as he arrived at the commander's tent, he heard the priest Huaibo say, "Young Master, Nanguo Chuwen of the slave camp asked for a visit."
Nan Guo Chuwen? Wang Yue nodded slightly, and soon remembered that when he captured Ji Nan and dealt with the Ji clan, he was the first surrender literati to see through his intentions.
But isn't he the leader of the slave labor team?
Wang Yue immediately remembered that he was the leader of the slave labor team at that time, but the Huaihang army successively occupied three towns. Except for a few people from the Ji clan fled, most of them, regardless of the main, small clan and side branches, and no less than two thousand of them were all assigned to slave labor.
Nan Guo Chuwen, the leader of the slave worker team, also rose from the leader of the team, and became the leader of the camp.
But at this time, what did Nan Guo Chuwen come to him for? Could it be that something went wrong with the Ji clan in the slave labor camp?
"Tell him in."
