Chapter 280

"Twenty percent of the progress has been completed... It is estimated that it should be completed when the planting begins in the spring of the next year."

Ma Zhou was very surprised by Qin Feng's arrival, but he was a little happy in his heart.The fact that Qin Feng was able to come shows that he is concerned about this matter. This is what he should do as the governor of Gyeongju. He enthusiastically introduced the situation of this canal to him: "According to my original intention, this canal is the first step. My The plan is to extend it year by year after completion, and open countless small rivers and canals to irrigate the entire Gyeongju in a network. However, according to the current situation, this matter needs to be considered in the long run. The current situation of my Tang Dynasty is not enough to start a huge project. The canal can be released."

Walking along the canal towards Gyeongju, within a few minutes, we reached the top of the canal.

There are more than a hundred soldiers standing in the wind around the canal. In front of them are more than 2000 young and strong, each of them is burly and strong. They are wielding hoes and digging hard.

These people are not ordinary people, they are all prisoners captured and imprisoned during the suppression of bandits. Since they are not considered to be the type of heinous crimes, they have a chance to live. Qin Feng saw that everyone was Han, and Datang The population is short, so I plan to stay and observe.Of course, it is not Qin Feng's style to let them eat and drink for free. Seeing that there are many places to be built in Gyeongju, he handed them over to Ma Zhou, the chief manager of Gyeongju, and asked him to send these people away. Pull to reform through labor.

Seeing Qin Feng and the others coming, Qiang Jian Fan, who was in charge of the care, strode over.

Qin Feng looked at the scene in front of him with some surprise, and said with a smile: "This is a good job, can't you see that you still have such a skill?"

Qiang Jian Fan said with a smile: "This group of people are assholes. At the beginning, when someone slapped me, I beheaded him on the spot, and the group became as obedient as sheep."

Qin Feng didn't take it seriously when he heard it. There is no human rights in this era. As a prisoner, one must have the consciousness of a prisoner.If you want to turn the world upside down, then the light in the toilet will kill you.

But because of the death of a person, it is really an accident to be so obedient?

Qin Feng thought in his heart.

"If you kill someone, you'll be obedient. You're really weak."

Qiang Jian Fan explained to him, "That's not it. These bastards don't dare to make trouble on the surface, but they are lazy for me behind the scenes. They come directly to work and don't work hard. No matter how much I beat and scold, they just don't listen. Mr. Ma is still amazing. Seeing this, Mr. Ma directly set a rule, dividing the time period and dividing the tasks. If the task is not completed within the stipulated time, there will be no food, and no rest will be allowed until it is completed. For a meal, for an early rest, The soft bones are very enthusiastic."

"Great!" Qin Feng glanced at Ma Zhou unexpectedly, and he couldn't help but accept that this political player really had a dark heart.On the surface, he looks like a saint who is compassionate and compassionate, and does not change his face when he does immoral things.At the beginning, he planned to throw these people into the city for cleaning or something, but Ma Zhou transferred them to the forefront of digging canals with the appearance of a saint, and used them to open the way. The hard-to-digging sections were handed over to the Turks.The people of Shuofang excavated the simple and easy-to-excavate plots, and finally connected them together.When it comes to black hearts, Qin Feng asked himself that he was not as good as Ma Zhou.

In order not to be compared by Ma Zhou, Qin Fengshuang came up with an idea: "Let these people serve seven years in prison. Those who behave well can be released from prison early, and those who behave badly will continue to serve in prison. Of course, the time to be released early must not be less than Four years. After being released from prison, accept supervision. If the performance is not good, continue to be taken back to the cell. In the future, new prisoners can do the same. Of course, the prerequisite is whether they are repeat offenders. If they are repeat offenders and the crime is not fatal, then they will do it Live forever."

It's a pity to kill these people, shut it up, it's a waste of food.It's better to give them a hope, let them return to society after working wholeheartedly in public welfare for a few years, and contribute their strength to Datang.

This time it was Ma Zhou's turn to be admired. These people had hope. In order to get out of prison as soon as possible and live a normal life, they had to work desperately.

"General, General Liu invites you to return to the city."

"It must be the result of the martial arts competition. Please ask the general to present the award." Ma Zhou thought of this possibility quickly.

Qin Feng laughed: "It's time to start the second round of hunting." He asked Ma Zhou to continue to grasp the progress of the canal, not to rush too fast and neglect the bodies of the people, and not to be too slow.Now is the semi-agricultural slack period, and the people have nothing to do, so there are so many manpower. In autumn, the manpower will definitely not be as sufficient as it is now.

The so-called skill competition is the same as the court's martial arts competition. The army is a place that pays attention to the whole, but individual combat ability is still very necessary.In particular, the combination of personal combat power and the team can exert unexpected effects.

This is the case with the Huben Army under his command. The tactics of the Huben Army are extremely simple. It is a word of killing. The martial arts broke through the formation and forcibly tore open a gap, while the Huben army used terrifying and fierce lethality to expand the cracked gap, complementing each other to maximize their strength.

Ordinary soldiers may not be able to do this, but choosing the best among them to award the captaincy, with him as the leader, will lead the charge, which will obviously be more effective than letting a mediocre person lead the charge.

Qin Feng can tell the strength of a person's martial arts, but it is obviously impossible for him to identify and test one by one. The most fair and just game is to determine the outcome.And everyone has different strengths and weaknesses, especially after mastering the Modao Formation, Qin Feng is more aware of this problem.There is no invincible army in this world, only an invincible army.

If you want the army to be invincible, a single branch of arms is definitely not enough.The cavalry is known as the king of tanks on land, but even the cavalry has relative weaknesses. They have high mobility but weak defense. Seize this weakness and amplify it.Then you can fight and ride on foot to win.In history, Li Ling led 16 infantry deep into the hinterland of the Huns, and encountered 50 cavalry, the main force of the Huns, which was [-] times his own. As a result, they persisted for ten days, fought thousands of miles, and killed tens of thousands of enemies!But in the end Li Ling's arrows were all captured. Before being captured, he said: "Give each of my soldiers three arrows, and we can stick to the border of the Han Dynasty." Unfortunately, they didn't have any arrows!It is said that they shot a total of [-] arrows!It can be seen that the lethality of the "Strong Crossbow" against the "Control String" that lacks heavy armor can be described as "terror".It's not that the Huns were not strong at the time, nor was it because the Han army fought chicken blood, but Li Ling magnified the weaknesses of the Huns' cavalry and fought, resulting in brilliant results.

During the period of the Three Kingdoms, "Shao ordered Quyi to ascend first with 800 soldiers, followed by thousands of crossbows, and Shaozi formed an array with tens of thousands of infantry. Yi lived in Liangzhou for a long time, and he learned how to fight with Qiang, and his soldiers were all sharp. In the Battle of Jieqiao, the eight hundred "first climbers" led by Yuan Shao's general Qu Yi defeated Gongsun Zan's "more than ten thousand" cavalry, including the elite "White Horse Yi Cong"! "Zan saw that his soldiers were few, so he let go of his cavalry and wanted to sink them. The righteous soldiers all lay down and did not move. Before they reached dozens of steps, they all rose up at the same time. It is clearly written in the history books that these [-] people "Xiao Qiang Dou", that is, they are familiar with "Cavalry Dou". He rushed out and shot down Gongsun Zan's "controlling strings" that stretched across the Northland with a thousand "Strong Crossbows".From then on, Gongsun Zan fell into a slump, and eventually he was defeated and burned himself to death.

Just because there are many cases in the history of military affairs, even if Qin Feng has nearly [-] horses in his hands, he has no intention of developing all [-] soldiers into the cavalry.The infantry has the strengths of the infantry, and the cavalry has the disadvantages of the cavalry.Bringing out the strengths of infantry cavalry is the way to win, rather than blindly seeking cavalry.

The Turks were restrained by Modaozhen.The reason is that they are single pawns.Weaknesses and advantages must be put in front of you, so that you can completely restrain yourself.If the Turks had a heavy infantry to resist the powerful crossbow of the Mo Dao Formation, then the power of the Mo Dao Formation would drop by a notch.If the Turks have a crossbow that can pierce Mo Dao soldiers.It is also difficult for the Modao formation to operate freely.

This is the restraint between arms.It is also the key to the success of the Modao formation. The Turks do not have heavy infantry and powerful crossbows.

As a nomadic people, the Turks have their own advantages in cavalry warfare, while Datang is an agricultural nation, and the disadvantages of soldiers in cavalry and shooting are inevitable.

Qin Feng rationally felt that there was no need to blindly compete with the Turks in riding and archery. He still decided to give full play to the advantages of their Central Plains nation and use technology and cooperation between arms to face the war that will soon follow.

Therefore, the events of the competition are also divided into several types, such as martial arts on horseback, martial arts on foot, riding and archery, archery, and physical strength.Arrange the future way out based on the hobbies and hobbies of the soldiers and their own strengths.

Originally there was also a riding skill, but Qin Feng crossed it out with a swipe of his pen.Future combat riding is basic.Even the infantry must be able to ride horses to enhance the movement and marching speed of the army.If you don't know how to ride a horse, just brush it down and it will not be considered for use.

For the winners, Qin Feng was not stingy with rewards. Those who won the No. 1 project were awarded the position of team leader and presented with horses, weapons and armor.He, the general Huben of the Tang Dynasty and the governor of Gyeongju, will personally congratulate the winning soldiers by presenting awards.The rest of the top ten will get rich rewards, and the top [-] will have exquisite gifts.

Under the lure of fame and fortune, there is an endless stream of people actively signing up for the competition.

It took more than half a month of knockout rounds to select the top [-] for each event.

Those who broke through the siege from the [-] soldiers all had a certain level of ability.

Every selected contestant will be awarded the position of corps commander and become the leader of the grassroots soldiers in the army.

Those who performed well in horse martial arts were arranged to enter the cavalry battalion, and those who performed well in foot martial arts were assigned to the infantry battalion. Whether they were incorporated into the agile jumping soldiers or the spearmen who were good at stabbing, the other distribution of benefits.Those who performed well in riding and archery were assigned to the riding and archery battalion, and those with outstanding physical strength should be Mo Daowei.
