Chapter 70 Final Preparations
On February 15th, in the sixth year of Zhongping, the spring breeze blew across the land of Jizhou, and the sky was clear and it was a warming season.
West of Gaoyi County, the schoolyard.
Wen Chou stood outside the school ground, looking at this solemn elite soldiers lined up! He felt a sense of pride in his heart.
Liu Zhong stood tall and majestic in front of the entire army soldiers. Wen Ba was located in front of the right side of the entire army soldiers, holding a spear and wearing black light armor, majestic and majestic. Li Ji was located in front of the left side of the entire army soldiers, holding a sword with a sword, and the armor was on his face, which was extremely powerful!
In addition to the three, the entire army is divided into eight rows. In contrast, there is a military marquis standing in front of the queue, which is the long line of this team! Every one placed in an ordinary army can serve as Sima. The elite army of Wen Chou is here!
Wen Chou's arrival this time was a pre-examination. In the near future, a large-scale inspection ceremony will be held, which is also a ceremony for the military. The military service ceremony for sending troops and capturing Guo Daxian.
In addition, Wen Chou naturally had to go to the school outside the city to inspect the Gaoyi County soldiers led by Lu Liang, Dong Zhi and others. There were three thousand soldiers there, and he was the backbone of Gaoyi County's military strength! He was also the mainstay of Wen Chou's power!
Now, except for the equipment of these three thousand soldiers and horses, they are slightly inferior to the elite of the Thousand Six led by Liu Zhong, are almost the same in other aspects. However, there is no possibility of further growth, which is their limit. Or after experiencing a series of bloody battles, their combat power will grow a little, becoming more bloodthirsty and more stern, but it is limited, which is the limit of their own qualifications.
But Liu Zhong's elite of Thousand Six are not the case. They still have a lot of room for improvement. These soldiers can grow into a hundred generals, and only after experiencing the battlefield training can they fully develop their potential. When recruiting them, they are the part with the best physical fitness. Therefore, they are the future and backbone of the Wen Chou power.
As for the soldiers from Taolin and soldiers from Pingji County, there is no need for Wen Chou to run the military parade. When the time comes, Dong Jiang, Yan Liang and others will lead the army to participate in the final military parade of Wen Chou. They will start to march towards Fangzi County and regain the land of a county again! This will make Wen Chou's reputation spread throughout the entire land of Jizhou!
This kind of day is not too far away. More than ten days have passed. The fields under Pingji and Gaoyi counties have been green for a long time, and some of them have already appeared. In addition, the rain and snow in the middle of winter in the past have made the fields abundant water resources. I think this is another harvest season.
As long as one or two months pass, Wen Chou will have another grain input. It can supplement his currently slightly empty granary and provide the strongest guarantee for future wars. At present, less than 100,000 stones of grain and fodder have been staggering. In a year, millions of stones of grain have been consumed, including the relief for refugees Xin'an, and some are grain and fodder transported to other counties for trading.
In this war-torn era, Wen Chou dared to use so much grain reserves for trading, which shows Wen Chou's emphasis on transactions and his confidence in the harvest of grain under his jurisdiction in the next season. With Wen Chou's huge grain reserves, he has 40,000 to 50,000 people to choose you to settle down in Gaoyi County, otherwise how could the population under Wen Chou increase such a betful population! It is true that Wen Chou has food guaranteed here! Food is the most important thing for the people, which is a famous saying that is ancient!
It will only take a few months to win another season of harvest. And this season's harvest will definitely be much more than what it has in Shahe Township! Because its population, fields, tools, etc. are all several times stronger than before.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just in terms of population, Wen Chou’s population was only 30,000 people and 5,000 households, and the land they could reclaim was only more than 600,000 mu! Now Wen Chou’s population is nearly 200,000, which is more than six times the original one! The land they can reclaim will naturally be more than six times!
According to the average output of two stones per acre of land, it is more than seven million stones! The ugly ones among them are not extracted, because they spend so much effort and invest so much financial resources to help the county people and Xin'an people cultivate land, harvest, etc. He has always taken half of them to take out these Guizhou people.
Furthermore, one acre of two stones of secretly inferior fields are rare in Wen Chou’s jurisdiction, because Wen Chou has also implemented many policies to benefit the people this year, especially in water conservancy, fertile fields, breeding, etc. Not to mention, it is not a problem to achieve a yield of four stones per mu. In this way, the annual output of the entire Wen Chou district is as huge as 15 million stones.
Among these 1,500 stones of grain, Wen Chou extracted 700 stones of grain from it, as the income from his investment this year, it should not be a problem. After the next year, Wen Chou's harvest of grain from the county people will not be able to withdraw such a large share and return to the ordinary state of twenty-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-
Although Wen Chou drew nearly half of the grain production in the first year, for the people of Guizhou, they still made great profits because their overall output has increased. Moreover, their grain seeds and harvests are guaranteed, and they are no longer under the threat of "**" at all times.
This kind of harvest was not only Wen Chou, but also Huangfu Song, the general of the Left Cavalry who had three million stones of grain from Jingzhou for the previous year, also gained a lot. Thanks to his generous donation, the entire Jizhou and Bingzhou collected 300,000 to 400,000 refugees! The situation of bandits in the two states being thrived and robbed cases was greatly alleviated.
These refugees have not high requirements, but they can eat and have some clothing. However, before that, they could not maintain these basic living things, either plundered by other thieves, or plundered by corrupt officials at the upper class! In this case, how could they not rebel? How could they not conquer cities? It was not for anything else, just an opportunity to survive.
Now that Huangfu Gong gave them this opportunity, they naturally would not raise the banner of righteousness again. Wen Chou gave some of them a better life and a better choice, so they would be loyal to Wen Chou and praise Wen Chou. This is the same simple truth.
In addition, Huangfu Gong also started his old business and led his army to suppress some of the rebels located in Hanoi. He is worthy of being one of the three famous generals of the empire. He is extraordinary and has an immediate effect. Such remarks have long been circulated in the ears of the bandits, "When he meets Huangfu Gong's army, he can collapse and escape!" It is a bandit who is unexpectedly standing in the imperial political machine. If he respectfully calls Huangfu Song "Huangfu Gong", it can be seen that Huangfu Song's prestige in the empire.
In addition, not long ago, Huangfu Song defeated the Liangzhou rebel Wang Guo and others in the Chencang area. It was considered that the empire achieved a relatively large victory in the Liangzhou rebellion that began in the second year of Zhongping. Before again, Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo, Zhang Wen, Duan Wei and others had led their troops to fight against the Liangzhou rebels, but they did not achieve any breakthrough victory.
Huangfu Song's suppression this time seemed to have given the empire that was already in the twilightest mountains a breath, allowing him to survive for a while. And now, Liu Hong, who has been sick for several months, seems to be looking back, and he has been a little better. Even though he already knows that his life is probably not long, he has also begun to plan his own affairs. The most important thing among them is the issue of passing the throne, and the issue of the next emperor!
Although the current crown prince Liu Bian is older, he is not as fond as his younger brother Liu Xie, and Liu Xie is also smarter and smarter. The existence of the current queen He family and the existence of general He Jin has made Liu Hong difficult again! He wanted to make Liu Xie the emperor, but he was afraid that the He brothers and sisters would cause trouble to the government after their death. Such examples are common. Wasn’t Liu Hong himself accused of being a relative?
In addition, today, when Zi also noticed the threat of the current Bingzhou Governor Dong Zhuo and ordered him to enter Luoyang as the nine ministers. However, Dong Zhuo used the excuse of being in the border area as a military general and his generals at all levels refused to leave his own way, and refused to remove his military power and entered Luoyang as his post. Instead, he stationed his army in Hanoi to wait for the change of time! This made Emperor Liu Hong quite a headache.
These are all problems that Zi was troubled today, and it did not have much impact on Wen Chou, who was far away in Gaoyi County. His plan to become famous was still in an orderly manner. After March, all kinds of military soldiers in Wen Chou were in place, which was the day when Wen Chou took the initiative to attack Guo Daxian.
This time, for Guo Daxian, it was already at the point where he could not escape. The big game played by Wen Chou not only wanted to take Guo Daxian and Fangzi County, but also gave Zhang Yan, who was originally in the north of the county, that Wen Chou was not so easy to bully. Even if Zhang Yan is the Black Mountain bandit Daqu, it would be in vain. Also, it is also a deterrent to the other two forces in the county - the Prime Minister of the State Duke Feng, and the Lieutenant of the county, which reminded him that Wen Chou is no longer the one who can be controlled by others!
Wen Chou also distributed invitation letters to famous people from other counties in the prefectures and counties. Of course, most of the people he invited were people with certain relationships with him. This was to let these scholars come to visit the mighty and powerful force of the Qi army.
Since you want to become famous, you might as well make a big deal. Anyway, it’s not far from the chaos in the world, so why are he afraid of his literary cowards? (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
