Chapter 218 Chinese Army
In the second year of Chuping, that is, 191 AD.

Shangluo, Zhang family.

Their Zhang family is not a big family, they can't be compared with the big families in Chang'an, nor can they be compared with the big families guarding the imperial mausoleum in the surrounding areas, but they are quite powerful in Shangluo.

Overtly and secretly, he controlled more than 1000 acres of fields in the county, and there were more than [-] servants and tenants in total.

It is such a family, usually they are the only ones who bully others, but now others bully them.

A group of thieves rushed to enclose the land and forcibly occupied the fields of their family. They also said that this was to wipe out the Kwantung rebels in the future, so they requisitioned the fields and accumulated strength. I hope they don't care about personal gains and losses, and everything is for your majesty and for the big man.

Everyone in the Zhang family was extremely angry when they heard the news. The emperor's surname is Liu, and their surname is Zhang. What is it for His Majesty?

Their family advocates cleanliness, and they are quite intelligent. They know that the methods used to deal with untouchables in the past will definitely not be used this time when facing this group of bandits.

So after discussing with the elders of the family, he came up with a poisonous plan. First, connect the big and small families in the surroundings, and then send some people to bring the land deeds to find the bandits and make a theory.

Their big and small families speak out together, use public opinion, agitate the people, and force the government to deal with the matter. If the government can't handle it, they will go to the court. Even if they can't make these bandits pay the price, they will have to be transferred to other places.

Within two days, some people took the land deeds and dragged their families to argue. There were old people and children. It seemed that if they didn't return the land, they would only die.

Normally, this strategy is indeed feasible, but whoever let them meet Li Yao, the result can be imagined.

When Yan Xing reported the news, Li Yao said without hesitation:
"Tell the people that this is land expropriated by the army, and it is impossible to return it. If they dare to make trouble again, they will be imprisoned. But as long as they join the army, they can cultivate [-] acres of fertile land. All harvests will be [-]% to the army and [-]% to themselves..."

"After they join the army, they will be able to obtain new identities. Soldiers, soldiers who fight for us, will be protected by us. The sales contracts they signed before and the debts they owe will all be borne by us. They only need to bring their whole family over, usually farming, training in slack, and following wars..."

"There must also be a lot of these people among the people. People from the big clans whose fields were expropriated by us found them and killed them directly. It's really the same as before. Kill them as soon as they need to be killed without mercy!"

Yan Xing half-kneeled in front of Li Yao, and after listening, thoughtfully, he cupped his hands and said:

"The general's intention is to turn all these people into our farm soldiers, but if the big families behind them really come to ask for debts, do we really want to pay?"

Li Yao shook his head with a smile, looked at Yan Xing and said in a cold voice:

"Could it be that if they want it, we have to give it? If you can't solve the debt, then solve the debtor!"

Yan Xing looked at Li Yao again after hearing the words. Apart from admiration, there was also a touch of fear. Now he is convinced, and directly bowed his head and said respectfully:
"The general obeys orders, let's do it!"

After finishing speaking, Yan Xing got up and left quickly.

After Yan Xing left, Li Yao put down the bamboo slips in his hands. Since he got these books, he would read them whenever he had time. He didn't study them carefully, but just read them roughly.

It is very tiring to read, and many sentences are not clear. If you look at the annotations, it is often just a sentence. Maybe because the sentence is different, there will be different interpretations.

No wonder it is difficult to disseminate knowledge. In the future, it must be sorted out, and more people will be able to read through sentences, symbols, and paper and printing.

This matter has to wait until the future, but there is one matter now that must be resolved as soon as possible.

Li Yao fell into deep thought. He designed the Yi Cong army, especially the left and right cavalry.

It is all based on the fact that Liangzhou has a large area and a small population, with a large area of ​​fertile land that can be cultivated and herded, and it is more convenient to conquer and manage the Qiang people.

This is not applicable in the Central Plains, where there are more people, but less land.

Cultivation must be the main focus, and grazing can only be supplemented, so changes need to be made...

Li Yao said in a low voice:
"The left and right cavalry is not suitable, so build a new central army. These soldiers are the main source of troops. The left and right cavalry are all cavalry. Then the central army is located in the Central Plains and lacks horses. This should be an infantry. The tactics they use must be around crossbows, spears, knives, shields, and siege equipment... Arrange training. The source of troops has not yet been determined, but the establishment of the central army, its system, soldier selection requirements, and the required generals and officers must be prepared in advance. When they are fully prepared, they can directly build an army..."

"This central army is different from the Yi Cong Battalion, but the same as the Left and Right Cavalry Army. It seems to be just an army, but it is actually a system. There are military households as a source of troops. The importance is self-evident..."

"Perhaps, the Chinese Army will replace the Yi Cong Battalion, together with the Left Cavalry Army and the Right Cavalry Army, form a new three armies. These three armies are not only a system, but also an army. They will be the core force for us to fight for hegemony in the world and the Central Plains..."

"Although the power is over-concentrated, to fight for hegemony in the world and the Central Plains requires a very high degree of organization, and at any time, hundreds of thousands of troops can be drawn out to join a battle..."

"Restricting military power is not restricting now. It is not too late to divide power after seizing the world. Before seizing the world, set up many restrictions on yourself, tie yourself up, how to compete with others..."

"The new three armies, the central army, the left cavalry army, and the right cavalry army, how will the Yi Cong camp be arranged? The current Yi Cong camp is in the hands of our three brothers and my father. After the establishment of the Chinese army, the Yi Cong camp can be split and reorganized..."

"It would be a pity if this sharp knife is disbanded. There must be many guards in addition to the three armies, and Dong Zhuo has a flying bear. Then this iron cavalry in my hand should also have a domineering name!"

Thinking of this, Li Yao's eyes became brighter and brighter. Then, while thinking about the name of the new army, he began to create the Chinese military system. First, he listed all the requirements that he could think of, including all aspects, soldier treatment, armor requirements, weapon requirements, what requirements are there for military households, injuries, death in battle, and benefits... This is a draft, and it needs to be continuously improved, and it cannot be realized in a short time.
