Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 137
"General!" Kou Feng, Bao Long and Zhu Ran in military uniforms reported to Zhao Feng in the Guiyang County Prefect's Mansion.

"You guys have worked hard, how is the war going?" Quechao Jiuzhan was sitting in the main seat was Zhao Feng, and the real Guiyang prefect Zhao Fan was sitting in the next prime minister's company.

"Our army has won a complete victory. The people in Shanyue are hungry and have been forced to go down the mountain these days. Bo Miao is busy recruiting them." Fenwei Captain Zhu Ran reported.At this time, when the wheat was ripening, Zhao Feng still used the old method in Jiangdong to deal with Shanyue, forcing them to go down the mountain.As a result, after some confiscation, several Shanyue branches in Guiyang County were also wiped out.It is estimated that there will be seven to eight thousand soldiers and about forty to fifty thousand civilians. In this way, at least a little less can be recruited when recruiting troops.

From Zhao Fan's mouth, I learned that although there are Shanyue in those mountainous areas in Guiyang, the number and scale of them are much smaller than those in Jiangdong, and far less than those in Jiaozhou.After the current campaign of suppression, the disaster of Shanyue here is almost completely eradicated. "The general is indeed a famous general in the world. This mountain has been a disaster for many years, but the general wiped it out with a gesture of his hand. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be unbelievable." Zhao Fan complimented.

"Exactly!" Baolong also agreed.This road march really opened Baolong's eyes.In order to obtain the best results, Zhao Feng used the front-line combat troops he transferred from Yangzhou.Its fighting strength is far beyond what these Jingnan soldiers can match, and Bao Long is also completely admired.

"Right now, the wheat has been harvested. Prefect Zhao, Jingnan is suitable for alternate planting of rice and wheat. The rice seeds will be distributed to the people for planting immediately. There must be no mistake!" Zhao Feng ordered again at this time.During the Eastern Han Dynasty, rice and upland rice had not been widely promoted, and they were only planted more in Jiaozhou and Jiangdong.But Zhao Feng, as a time traveler, naturally knows the benefits of planting rice and wheat alternately, and he is now vigorously promoting it in Jingnan.

"That's right!" Zhao Fan also agreed.This Zhao Fan is still a civil servant at heart, although he is not good at fighting, but this matter can still be handled.Seeing that Kou Feng and Zhu Ran came back victorious, Zhao Fan also ordered a banquet to celebrate their achievements.A group of people feasted until late at night, and then broke up happily. Zhao Feng and others went back to the post to rest.

Zhao Feng has been very busy recently. After taking charge of Jingnan, he first needs to destroy the mountains in Guiyang, and then resettle the people who moved south and Wuxi barbarians from Wuling, and let them and the Construction Corps reclaim and cultivate the wasteland in Jingnan.Immediately within half a month, there will be conscription.But now that there are nearly [-] Shanyue troops, the pressure to recruit troops will be less.

"Is the general resting?" Zhu Ran's voice came from outside the door. "Not yet, is there something wrong with Yifeng?" Zhao Feng was about to rest, but he asked quickly when he heard Zhu Ran's words.

"I want to discuss something with the general!" Zhu Ran said outside the door, and Zhao Feng hurriedly opened the door to let him in. After the two sat down, Zhu Ran spoke first: "General, I have recently cleared Shanyue according to the general's law. However, although the Shanyue people are brave and good at fighting, this time there are only a few thousand people, and there is no leader here, and the Shanyue people are unruly, I am afraid that it will be difficult to form an independent army in a hurry!"

"What Yifeng said is not unreasonable!" When Zhao Feng said this, he also felt a little bit worried about Guan Yu's naked picking peaches that day. He spent a long time in Jiangdong to engage in the fifty-thousand-mountain Vietnamese army, but in the end it was mostly cheaper than Guan Yu. After seeing the outstanding combat effectiveness of the Shanyue Army, the observers immediately pulled them to replenish the source of troops.At present, most of the Shanyue Army that I recruited that day are in Jiangdong, Jingbei and Yuzhou, led by Guan Yu and Zhang Liao.I, the instigator, now have only a few thousand people who have just been recruited, and on average, [-]% of the benefits are not [-]%.

With these thousands of mountain vietnamese troops, Zhao Feng said that he would never give them away in vain.Recruitment is about to start now. According to Zhuge Liang's budget, at least [-] troops will be recruited this year to supplement Jingbei.As for Jingnan, Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu didn't say anything. If they didn't say anything, they just let Zhao Feng figure out a way for himself.What can Zhao Feng do?But just make do with it and recruit some more.It is a good start to have these thousands of Shanyue troops.Immediately, they should be able to recruit a few thousand more soldiers from Shamoko and the others. In addition to the nearly [-] soldiers I brought, the whole of Jingnan can be gathered together, and there are tens of thousands of front-line combat troops.On that day, when they are trained into an army, it will be at least the beginning of next spring.

"How about this, Yifeng, choose two hundred of the most elite Shanyue army, plus my original three hundred personal guards, to form an army. The rest are all broken up and incorporated into the team, and practice with the recruits." Zhao Feng thought for a while. thought.This was not a sudden whim. Think about the famous generals who have their own unique troops directly under them, just like Guan Yu's five hundred school swordsmen, Zhang Fei's Yanyun 36 generals, Zhang Liao's eight hundred iron cavalry, Huang Zhong's one thousand soldiers, etc. Changsha soldiers, Gao Shun's 500 camps.Since I am also famous, I can't avoid it.Don't have too many people, just get [-] people.Zhu Ran has nothing to do, not to mention choosing the right candidate for Zhao Feng.

A few days later, Zhao Feng and others came to Wuling, Wuling prefect Jinxuan and Wuxi barbarian king Shamoke came to welcome Zhao Feng together. "Greetings to General Zhao!" Jin Xuan saluted meticulously, Shamoke hesitated for a moment, and still bowed with his chest pressed.

"Why do you two need to be so polite!" Zhao Feng didn't like to pay homage all day long, so he hurriedly stopped him.It was the first time that Shamoko had seen him, but he had messy hair, was wearing an animal skin jacket and a tiger skin skirt, his feet were bare, and there were some animal bones strung around his neck and wrists. The accessories made are full of savages.

But after talking for a while, Zhao Feng was surprised to find that Shamoke could speak Chinese very fluently, which was impressive.As if seeing Zhao Feng's doubts, Jin Xuan explained on his behalf: "Although Sha Touling is from Wuxi, people from Wuxi have many contacts with Han people, and most of them can speak Chinese."

"So that's how it is!" Zhao Feng also suddenly realized, and immediately asked Sha Moke: "Shatou Leader, I don't know how many people there are from all the tribes in Wuxi, including you?"

"I have dozens of tribes of various ethnic groups in Wuxi, and there are about [-] people. Except for some tribes, most of them are willing to follow me to reclaim the land." Shamoke replied.Afterwards, Samoko introduced the situation of their Wuxi barbarians in detail. Although they were called barbarians, they also mastered the means of farming, fishing and hunting. Generally, life was guaranteed in a good year, but in a bad year, it was inevitable that they would not have enough food and clothing.When Liu Biao was in Jingxiang that day, he would donate grain and rice in every famine year.The Wuxi barbarians are grateful for their kindness, and they don't have much hatred for the Han people. They occasionally trade in exchanges on weekdays, exchanging animal skins and medicinal materials from the Wuxi barbarians for grain, rice, and salt.However, this was all spontaneous and did not form a systematic and large-scale mutual market.

"Since this is the case, Sha Touling and Jin Taishou can set up several counties near Wuxi. The county magistrates will be appointed by Wuling people themselves, and educated Han people will be appointed as civil officials. They will be exempted from paying taxes within three years. In addition, government schools, markets, and shops will be opened. , build a city for mutual market!" Zhao Feng thought for a while.This method should be the embryonic form of national autonomy, which is enough to greatly speed up the integration of Wuxi people and Han people.Jinxuan quickly agreed, and Shamoke was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly thanked him.However, he also pointed out that he is not very good at being an official and would rather join the army.

"There are still tens of thousands of warriors from all ethnic groups in Wuxi, all of whom are brave and good at fighting, and they can join the army!" Samoke said rather boastfully.Zhao Feng knew that these residents living in the mountains and forests were indeed of outstanding physical fitness, so were the Shanyue people, and so were the Wuxi barbarians.Since Liu Bei has always asked Shamoke to join the army in history, he has no reason to refuse.Now let the Shamoke and other tribes migrate, and then select the strong ones to join the army.

"By the way, General, we have been repeatedly attacked by the Nanzhong Barbarians in recent years, and we have suffered a lot!" Samoke said suddenly. "Nanzhong Barbarian Division?" Zhao Feng asked with some confusion.Sha Moke carefully explained that although the Nanzhong Barbarians and the Wuxi Barbarians came from the same lineage, they had not communicated with each other for a long time.It was considered peaceful at first, but after a young patriarch of the Nanzhong Barbarian tribe took over a few years ago, Enwei combined many tribes in Nanzhong, and unexpectedly had a population of no less than 80 million people, and even [-] elite soldiers. It is not comparable to other tribes in Wuxi. Samoco has suffered a lot from fighting with them all these years.

"What's the name of that young patriarch?" Zhao Feng thought about it, but asked calmly on the surface.

"His name is Meng Huo. He is only 20 years old now, but he is extremely brave. This man forced us to submit to him. I will send troops to attack if I can't wait. Some small tribes have been annexed by him over the years." Shamoke continued. .

"So that's how it is!" Zhao Feng also gradually understood that the reason why Shamoke asked him to reclaim the wasteland was more or less because he was squeezed out by Meng Huo and couldn't live on.From this point of view, this Meng Huo has a lot of ambition.According to Samoko, Meng Huo planned to unite all the barbarians to form a barbarian country and completely get rid of the rule of the Han people. I have to say that this slogan is still very attractive.

"So, leader Sha, you go and tell those barbarian tribes oppressed by Meng Huo to come to Jingnan. There is a large area of ​​land that is uncultivated, and I urgently need people to open up wasteland for me. I don't think too much!" Zhao Feng thought for a while. thought.It would be good to be able to poach some corners of Meng Huo as soon as possible, Shamoke quickly agreed.As for the incorporation of people from Wuxi, Zhao Feng asked Shamoke and other people to stabilize their migration before implementing it.Preliminary estimate is that Wuxi people + Shanyue Army + their old troops + young people selected from the Construction Corps before, so that there are already nearly [-] troops.There used to be nearly [-] national soldiers in the six counties, but now they are trained by generals stationed in various places.In this way, the entire first-line and second-line combat troops in Jingnan will add up to nearly [-].

Zhao Feng felt that it should be almost the same. Shi Guangyuan told him that it is estimated that by September when the rice is harvested, the four Jingnan counties + the two Jiaozhou counties, even after the migration of the population, including the Shanyue and Wuxi tribes, the population is estimated to be more than 140 million.Of the nearly one million refugees in Jingbei, about 30 flowed into Jingnan, and another [-] flowed into Yuzhou.Compared with the ratio of soldiers to civilians in Xuzhou and other places, there should be [-] front-line combat troops in the six counties, and [-] county soldiers.After Zhao Feng issued the recruitment order, there were quite a few recruits in Jingxiang.By the end of September, the number had reached nearly [-].Zhao Feng trained the recruits with the previous Shanyue Army and the young soldiers he had selected, and prepared to hand over [-] of them to Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang in winter.The migration of Shamoko's tribe has not yet been fully completed, so he will not be forced to conscript this year.

"I have to live in poverty!" Looking at the recruits who were training, Zhao Feng sighed.I think that when recruiting soldiers in Xuzhou or Yuzhou, with sufficient money and food, how to recruit soldiers.It's not like what it is like now, it is to exterminate Shanyue, and to win over the Wuxi barbarians, and finally managed to gather tens of thousands of people.After supplying the two uncles Guan Yu and Kong Ming, there is not much left for him.

At this moment, a burst of exclamation was heard from the recruits who were training. Zhao Feng followed the sound and saw a person lifting a large stone weighing hundreds of kilograms high, and then walked slowly.
