Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 488 Guard II

"There are frequent wars in the northwest, and the imperial court needs to recruit troops. Yuzhou is suitable."

This is the meaning of wanting Yuzhou to raise soldiers.

Raising soldiers requires food and grass, and the court will pay the money, but how much it can pay, in the long run, it will inevitably need local supplies.

Yuzhou had just recovered from the drought and floods, but it was facing the pressure of supporting the guards again. Liu Shouzheng's expression was a little grim.

Understanding Liu Shouzheng's concerns, Feng Qing added another sentence: "Since the guard is located in Yunan, it will not be too far from the state capital."

This means that the state government will take the lead in the supply of food and grass for the soldiers and horses of the guards, and avoidance is unavoidable. However, since Lushan County is in Yuzhong, it is still some distance from the guards, so the part that needs to be borne will not be too much.

Liu Shouzheng understood what it meant, heaved a sigh of relief, and asked, "Cholera broke out again in the northwest?"

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the relationship between Dakang and the royal family of Xijiang has been relatively harmonious. However, that place has always been chaotic, with complicated bloodlines, numerous territories, and the fact that Dakang and the border of Western Xinjiang are inconsistent. Small strands of confusion.

In the past few years, the Da Shanyu of the royal family in Xijiang still had some ability, so the trade between the two countries has been stable for a long time, but this year, for some reason, the two tribes in Xijiang suddenly became powerful, and they no longer took the royal family of Xijiang seriously, and even The hoarding of sick horses disturbed the border horse market, causing a series of losses in several towns on the border of western Xinjiang.

Previously, Dakang had a good relationship with Western Xinjiang, and it was in conflict with Southern Xinjiang. Most of the sick horses of the imperial court were sent to the vicinity of Southern Xinjiang.

In the past two years, there have been dozens of wars with Southern Xinjiang, ranging from hundreds to dozens. Although most of them ended in Dakang's victory, the complex terrain with dense mountains and dense forests in southern Xinjiang, coupled with the fierce and tough killing of people in southern Xinjiang, made Dakang's Even if soldiers and horses win, they are mostly miserable victories, and they lose a lot of sick horses almost every year.Not to mention financial provision.

With the outside, there are continuous wars on the southern border; with the inside, the drought in Yuzhou and the banditry in Qiongzhou have lasted for several years, and the imperial treasury has long been strained.

However, the house leak happened to be raining all night, and now there is chaos in western Xinjiang. The imperial court could not mobilize the soldiers and horses from southern Xinjiang to go to western Xinjiang, so they could only select three battalions from the 36 guard battalion near Shangjing City and put them under the command of the capital. Let Zhao Zheng lead the army to go to the western border to quell the chaos.

But after all, it was not a long time ago. In the past few months, cholera has been frequent in Western Xinjiang, but the two tribes have no plans to go to war. They are nothing more than testing Dakang's bottom line.

This is a tug-of-war, the shortest is three to five months, and the longest is seven or eight years. It is obviously not enough to rely on the relief soldiers of the guards. It is necessary to raise a large number of soldiers and horses to guard the western border for a long time. Keep Dakang safe in the west.
-
It is actually expected that it will pick Zhong Yuzhou.

The states and counties in the north of Yuzhou were originally barren and not suitable for raising a large number of soldiers and horses, but the states and counties in the south of Yuzhou were prosperous in business and trade, and their forces were intertwined.

Whether it is because of the large amount of tax money contributed every year, or because of not easily offending the local clans, these places are not suitable for setting up guards.

Even if they were reluctantly placed, given the level of wealth in the local area, there were many jobs for the common people to make a living, and it would be very difficult for the imperial court to recruit a large number of troops in such a place.

Yuzhou is different. Yuzhou is a large locality with a large population.And because of successive years of disasters, there are countless people who can't survive, and there are many young and strong laborers among them. As long as the guard can provide enough rice and grain, it is naturally not afraid that they will not be able to recruit new soldiers.

　Beginning in September last year, children went to kindergarten, which was thought to be liberation, but unexpectedly became the beginning of another nightmare.Children who don’t need to go to the hospital except for physical examinations and vaccines, who don’t necessarily get sick once or twice before going to kindergarten, have maintained a rhythm of getting sick several times a month since the start of school.

　　I was ill for a few days and managed to get well. I was sick again within two days after sending it over. The little guy had a fever all night and all night. I stayed all night all night. stand up.

　　Every time I make up my mind to wait for him to recover, I will add an update when I resurrect with full blood, but the result has never been realized.I'm very sorry, sisters, the update has been unable to catch up, so I can only try to keep updating.
