Shu Chen

Chapter 73

Military households, households out of a small to join the army.

The father died and the son succeeded, the brother died and the younger brother, and passed on from generation to generation.

In wartime, the levy is carried out, and the family is exempted from taxation by performing martial arts in the leisure time;

The system seems harsh, but it can make the natives and barbarians in various counties quite moved.

Because the arable land has always been few and barren, and at the end of the year, it is still difficult to sustain food for the belly.

Moreover, there are many people in this county who refuse to obey the king, and the people are ignorant and not afraid of death.There are often competitions for fields and hunting grounds, and clan fights, resulting in many casualties.

However, the country is inseparable.

Even though the government claimed that Hanzhong County had fertile land and abundant products, it would send old farmers to teach them to work meticulously to ensure grain production; and that the laws were strict and that no generals would take advantage of their power to oppress and seize resources, and very few of them were willing to go north to join the army.

The reason is that there is a difference between the Han and the barbarians, they can't believe it, and they don't want to believe it.

Fear of being deceived into Hanzhong County, losing the protection of the elder clan chief, being taken and begged by the government, and reduced to a corpse filling a gully.

After all, in the county of Han, the officials of the Han family and the big families at all levels, with the idea of ​​​​barbarians and vulgarity, can't treat them kindly, let alone go to Hanzhong?

This is the reason why the prime minister, Zhuge Liang, allowed Zheng Pu to recruit more or less troops.

According to common sense, the Prime Minister, Ma Zhong and others thought that the tribes that Zheng Pu could recruit soldiers were just selected from thousands of hungry people who fled last year in Pingyi County!
First, those hungry people were given relief from the government so that they could survive.

The grace of life makes them trust the government, willing to die in the army, and fight another way of life for their families.

The other is the name of Zheng Pu, who has a prosperous reputation among these hungry people.

"The prefect who reassures me, and the one who fills me, Zheng Jun!"

This is a compliment passed on by word of mouth among thousands of hungry people, in gratitude to Zheng Pu for leading them to open up terraced fields in the past, persuading Ma Zhong to rent pigs and people to raise them in the name of the government, and teaching them to put fish fry in the terraced fields to raise livestock (rice fish) and so on.

In particular, Zheng Pu led his army deep into the tiger's den and killed Zhu Bao, whom they hated and swore to never share!
With such prestige, Zheng Pu went to Pingyi County to move households and recruit troops in the name of the imperial court, without having to spend a lot of time, four or five hundred natives and barbarians responded, and it was within easy reach.

As a result, it was exactly within the Prime Minister's expectation.

His original intention was to let Zheng Pu recruit some, and then return to Chengdu to add more, and let him lead two schools of troops and horses (one school, eight hundred).

Zhao Guang and Huo Yi's trilogy joined forces, and there were as many as one school.

Since Zheng Pu was appointed as the main general, he should be allowed to lead a school by himself.

Of course, when Zheng Pufu heard the request of "one month, no matter how many", he burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm.

Immediately, please ask Huo Yi and Zhao Guang to accompany you all with the upper part of the song, let Qi Yacuo lead the way, and go to the junction of the two counties of Tanhuo and Wuleu.

The first place to go is the habitat of the mother clan of Qi Ya Cuo.

Taking the begging tooth house as the communication, and swearing blood with the elders of the tribe, and cursing the alliance with ghosts and witches, let the tribe of this life pack all their bags and happily prepare for the northward migration.

And a surprise.

The elder clan chief of this tribe even invited tribes who had in-laws with him, or who shared the alliance of foreign imperialism, to move to Hanzhong County.

Although the responders, only one or two tribes.

However, Zheng Pu was able to recruit more than [-] soldiers in an instant.

The place to look back is on the side of Qi Ya Cuo's wife.

However, this time it was Zheng Pu himself.

Let Zhao Guang and Huo Yi lead their troops to besiege this tribe's fortress, and then send someone to invite their elder clan chief to come, claiming that Qi Ya Cuo was his squire and had been besieged and killed by their clansmen!

Finally, let the elders of this tribe make a choice.

Is it to let him take revenge for his retinue's revenge?

Or, migrate to Hanzhong, join the army as a soldier, and then let go of the past?
The elder clan chief, looking at the Han army soldiers who were fierce and fierce, had no choice but to nod his head sadly, claiming that he was willing to emigrate to the army with his family.After he and Zheng Pu cursed the alliance with ghosts and witches, and saw that the tribes on the Qiyacuo mother clan were all happy, his heart was relieved a lot.

Naturally, when Zheng Pu asked if he would invite the tribes of the Alliance of Foreigners to join forces, he thought for a moment before nodding in response.

First, moving to Hanzhong to live in peace is certainly easier than living here.

The other is to make their own tribesmen, after going north, have allies they can rely on.

As a result, in just over ten days, there were already more than [-] households who moved from the army to their households.

With such efficiency, not to mention Huo Yi and Zhao Guang, they looked at each other, secretly stunned.

Even the prefect, Ma Zhong, would be amazed when he heard about it.

However, it made Huo Yi and Zhao Guang even more dumbfounded.

They finally understood why when the Prime Minister sent them here, he still warned him, "Zijin's talent for planning and painting is unmatched in his generation. However, his temperament is quite rigid, and his plans are also quite violent. Please advise."

Using the extermination of the clan as a coercion, recruiting troops to move the household, how could the hostility not be severe! ?
Therefore, on the way home, the two of them asked Zuo to lead the army, and they came to walk side by side with Zheng Pu.

It was Huo Yi who was the first to speak out.

The narration is also quite skillful.

After borrowing Fu Tuo to apprentice, Haosheng praised Zheng Pu for the reason that his knowledge and knowledge soared.

Immediately, he changed the subject and asked, "Zijin, I have already recruited more than a thousand soldiers, so there is no need to recruit any more?"

Well, the three of them are similar in age and have been familiar with each other for a few days, so they are all matched by words.

"More than a thousand people, not many, right?"

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Zheng Pu was a little surprised, and replied, "Also, the barbarian tribes here are not registered as household registrations. When we recruit troops to move them to Hanzhong, we are also adding households to the country. The more the better, the better! Why not be evil? "

Uh.
Hearing this, Huo Yi felt helpless for a while.

Of course he knew that moving the barbarian tribes to Hanzhong would benefit the country!

I just want to persuade me not to act so ruthlessly, so as to leave a handle for people to criticize.

He was hesitating, did he clarify his thoughts in words, but when Zheng Pu finished his question, he frowned slightly and added, "Shaoxian's intention is that my official position is low, and it is not appropriate to recruit too many soldiers and soldiers?"

Although it is not in the middle, it is not far away!

Nodding slightly, Huo Yi gave a gurgling smile. He was about to take the opportunity to express his thoughts, but Zhao Guang on the other side took the lead.

"Zijin, if it is impossible, it is inappropriate."

Known for his virtuous and virtuous temperament, he has quite the style of his father's arrogance, and he directly said all the advice he meant, "The act of forcing Li Shu to join the army and relocate his household will damage the trust of the court and may be slandered by others. And the Prime Minister doesn't like this kind of behavior."

Ugh.
I thought I was no longer known for my virtues.
Of course, in extraordinary times, why not extraordinary things?
In the past, Qin Huang and Han Wu, behind the illustrious martial arts, was not a violent and tyrannical government to take people's capital to support it?

The Son of Heaven, the Herdsmen on behalf of Heaven!
What is "shepherd" evil?

Emperor Xuan also once said: "My family has its own system, and the hegemony is mixed with it. How can I be pure and moral, and use Zhou government!"

Today, Yizhou is exhausted, and the big Han is on the decline!If you want to use the power of one state to conquer the Wei Dynasty in the Northern Expedition and restore the Central Plains, An Nengchun can serve as a herdsman of moral education, and hope to achieve success! ?
Moreover, the barbarians here are not subject to Wang Hua, have little literature, and are fresh in etiquette.

Pure Rende pastor, without a hundred years of merit, will not be able to accomplish anything.

Rebel Wei occupies seven-thirds of the power of the world, and it will prosper if it lasts. Can An Neng tolerate the great Han calmly and herdsmen's evil for a hundred years?

It's good to use military force, and it's good to go fishing when you dry up the lake!

At this time, when the power of Yizhou is exhausted, it will be put to death and then reborn, and the northern expedition will be carried out in one fell swoop, hoping to retake Longyou and enter the main gate, set the foundation of the former strong Qin Wangba, and then rest with the people, practice Mudeism, and slowly plan.

When we are trapped in Yizhou and in a corner of peace, sincerity is the autumn of life and death!
Why cherish the feathers, sit and watch the disparity between the strength of the enemy and our country, and become a dead bone in the mound waiting to die?

In an instant, Zheng Pu's mind was overwhelmed, and he actually felt a little "summer insects can't speak ice".

However, he still put aside the matter of recruiting troops for the time being.

Both Huo Yi and Zhao Guang, who were deputy posts, held objections and claimed that the prime minister did not like such behavior. Zheng Pu, who had just been entrusted with military power, could not insist on it any longer.

"Thank you Shaoxian and Yoshihiro for understanding me."

After thinking for a while, Zheng Pu smiled and bowed his hands in thanks, "I was given a military command for a while, and I was so happy that I lost my way, and let greed ignore the trust of the court. Ashamed! Ashamed!"

Hearing this, Huo Yi and Zhao Guang also returned their salutes, humbly speaking, and showing joy to each other.

Afterwards, Zheng Pu led his army north to Pingyi County, and recruited several hundred more from last year's starving people, making up the number of the three schools.He led a school with Huo Yi and Zhao Guang respectively and returned to Chengdu.

Speechless all the way.

When they arrived at the boundary of Chengdu, there were people waiting at the post office.

It is an old acquaintance, Hu Ji, the head of the Prime Minister's Office.

But it was the Prime Minister who heard that Zheng Pu and others recruited troops to return, and many people moved to Hanzhong, because it was a long way to move to Hanzhong, and there was a fear of trouble.

He ordered the chief clerk, Hu Ji, to come and transfer all the households to Linqiong County, Shu County to settle down.

Divide the fields, and use the local salt and iron battles to allow the military households and their families to make a living.

The thought is quite thoughtful and considerate, so that Zhao Guang and Huo Yi will go there with their soldiers to perform martial arts drills on the spot, so that these barbarians can witness the settlement of their families before they talk about the conquest.

Zheng Pu, on the other hand, was summoned to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Chengdu to pay the order.

Therefore, as soon as Hu Jifu finished narrating the matter, he confronted Zheng Pu with a rare joking remark, "The merits of recruiting troops, Zijin leads them; the labor of editing households, but I suffer. From this, Zijin is not a good friend. !"

When everyone heard it, they all clapped their hands and laughed.

Zheng Pu also shook his head and laughed for a while. Fang Zuo thanked him and promised to hold a banquet in the future to accuse him of his crimes, so he said goodbye to each other and arranged things separately.

After entering the city of Chengdu, he sent Fu Yi to return to the palace to be safe.

After a year of absence from the Xiangfu, not much has changed.

If you really want to find some changes, or the officers who come and go and the armored soldiers on duty, the behavior and expression will be a little bit more high-spirited because of the negotiation of Nanzhong.

Familiar with the road, through the long eaves corridor, step to the Prime Minister's office.

Zheng Pu smiled and nodded at the little official on duty, and said softly, "Please let me know, I'll see the Prime Minister."

"Zheng Shuzuo wait a moment."

The little official on duty also nodded and smiled, turned and walked forward.

When I was young, the door of the office was half-open, and the little official came in and stretched out his hand sideways, "Zheng Shuzuo, please come in."
