Chapter 17 The Super General Appears Surprisingly

Carrying out ancient reforms is the method Zhu Xia is best at.

In the past five thousand years, every ambitious and accomplished person who wanted to work hard had to go through this standard process.

Anyway, "the rule of the sages" and "the rule of the sages" is just a basket, and everything can be put into it.

Whether it is city-state aristocracy, democratic assembly, feudal vassals, or even parliamentary republic, whatever you need, you can find it in the five thousand years of history!

After finding Cheng Pu, Sun Ce said directly: "Mr. Cheng, I plan to restore the ancient system of Emperor Zongwu in the army and teach the soldiers to read and write. Gong Cheng is respected by the soldiers, so I plan to ask Gong Cheng to personally supervise this matter."

Cheng Pu was the second most civil and military commander among all generals in Soochow after Zhou Yu before Lu Su.

He had previously served as a civil servant in a prefecture and county and had extensive knowledge. Hearing this, he said: "In the time of Emperor Sejong Xiaowu, the king's army conquered Sanyue in the south, attacked the Xiongnu in the north, expanded four counties in the east, and captured Hexi in the west. His military power was so great that he sealed the wolf.

Juxu is so powerful that he is admired for thousands of miles."

"If we can follow his system and reproduce the style of the strong Han Dynasty in the past, the world will not be able to stabilize. As far as I know, what was taught in the army at that time was "Cangjie Pian", "Jijiu Zhang" and "Nine-Nine Tables"?"

Sun Ce said: "These three chapters are the easiest enlightenment chapters. It is not difficult to promote them in the army. A group of mentally mature soldiers can learn faster than young children. Therefore, Cheng Gong wants to teach, plus

An article "Four People's Monthly Orders"."

""Four Monthly Orders for the People"?" Cheng Pu asked in surprise: "Isn't this a book that teaches the people to produce? It mainly guides powerful manors, farmers, industry and commerce, what the four people should do in each month. How to teach this in the army?"

Sun Ce nodded heavily and said firmly: "Yes, it is the "Four People's Monthly Order". What does Duke Cheng think of our forces?"

"The army is strong and the morale is like a rainbow!" Cheng Pu said arrogantly: "There are so many fierce generals in the army, and Bo Fu is so heroic that he can command the three armies. He will be able to attack and conquer, and win the battle."

But Sun Ce shook his head and said: "It may seem powerful for a while, but in fact it has no foundation. There are more than five thousand soldiers, but there is no end-of-life plan. One defeat will lead to disaster!"

This is just like the sentence in "The Chronicles of Emperor Wu": "Since the Zhongping Period, the world has been in chaos, the people have abandoned agriculture, and all armies have risen together. The rate is lack of food and grain, and there is no plan for the end of the year. When hungry, the invaders will invade, and when full, the surplus will be abandoned and disintegrated.

There are countless people who are wandering, invincible and self-defeating.”

There are countless people who are disintegrated and displaced, invincible and self-defeating!

Sun Ce now has an army of nearly 6,000 men in name, which sounds like an iron horse and a great ambition. But in reality, it is no different from those warlords and strong men who raise a group of refugees and occupy the county as king, claiming to have more than 10,000 troops.

If there is, it means that Sun Ce does not even have a base in a county, but he has to maintain an army of nearly 6,000 people!

And the scale will continue to expand.

If nothing else, how to maintain the supplies of this army is an extremely serious problem! How many months can it be sustained with Liu Youxian's batch of food? What should we do next? Enter Jiangdong and rely on donations from other powerful people?

How much did the powerful Jiangdong officials welcome Sun Ce to take control of Jiangdong? In history, Sun Ce killed many powerful people from aristocratic families in order to gain a foothold in Jiangdong.

Therefore, Sun Ce asserted: "There will continue to be strong men and troops who join the army. The number of soldiers under my command may quickly exceed 6,000, 7,000 or even over 10,000. It is impossible for us to maintain such a huge army scale, and the good and bad among them will be mixed, which will slow down the marching speed.

Reduce the combat effectiveness of the phalanx."

"In the long run, I plan to weed out the old and the weak, select the best and train them into an army. Most of the rest will be converted into military camps and used for production in the fields."

Hearing this, Cheng Pu pondered for a moment and nodded slightly. Anyone with insight can see that Sun Ce's plan is more reasonable and long-term.

As the saying goes, there are not too many troops but good ones. With the current strength of the army, it is simply impossible to maintain tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry. Moreover, there are too many subordinates and refugee committees like Wang Dou in the army who have taken refuge.

Even if there are only one or two hundred people in this rabble, they may be dispersed by heroes like Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin alone.

Cheng Pu asked: "Does the general want to teach the "Four People's Monthly Orders" in the army to facilitate the army?"

Sun Ce nodded and said, "That's right. After we cross Jiangdong, I plan to add a full-time Dian Nong captain to accommodate the refugees and captured Shanyue."

Cheng Pu thought carefully and said: "Based on the current situation, it is indeed necessary to transition the military camp. The soldiers have nothing. If the fields are divided directly, many people will have no shelter from the wind and rain, and no food for many years. I am afraid it will be difficult to make ends meet.

born."

And it has a very crucial role, teaching these people in the army the "Four People's Monthly Orders", so that after they leave the army, they can also promote the level of agricultural development in Jiangdong.

Jiangdong has no connection with the Splendid Water Town at the moment! Among the four famous brocades, only Shu brocade is now available. Yun brocade is still in the process of being brewed. As for Su embroidery, it is nearly a thousand years away from today.

In fact, Jiankang (Nanjing), the birthplace of Yunjin brocade, is still called Moling County at this time. It is located in Danyang County and is famous for its fierce folk customs. Danyang has a dangerous terrain and many hardworking people. Copper and iron are produced in the mountains and are self-cast.

Armor soldiers. They are fond of martial arts and practice fighting, and have noble strength.

Compared with the gentlemen of the Central Plains, Jiangdong is more famous for its barbarism. Its civilization, especially its agricultural level, seriously lags behind that of the Central Plains.

Teaching the "Four People's Monthly Orders" in the military and teaching agricultural production on a large scale are undoubtedly one of the fastest ways to promote the development of agriculture in Jiangdong.

Cheng Pu was a general in the army and Sun Ce's right-hand man. Sun Ce entrusted him with such an important matter of educating the entire army. In fact, he also wanted to find someone to take charge of specific matters.

So he thought seriously for a moment and said: "It is about promoting literature and education and teaching soldiers. I have a talented person in Bo Fu who can perform the duties. The specific contents are listed in the detailed subjects."

Sun Ce smiled and said that his generals would recommend talents. He naturally welcomed them. He immediately replied with a smile: "The ones recommended by Duke Cheng must be talented people. Who is that person?"

Cheng Pu said: "This man is an old official of the prince's family, so Rui Zhi, the prefect of Wu County."

Sun Ce smiled, my disciple is an old official!

It can be seen that the Sun family has indeed become prosperous.

A few generations ago, people were still poor peasants selling melons, but by Sun Jian's generation, they had been granted titles and titles, and had disciples and old officials.

Disciples and old officials refer to people who serve as officials because of Sun Jian's recommendation.

Cheng Pu introduced: "Rui Zhi, named Xuan Si, had been fighting with the princes before and had made meritorious achievements in several expeditions. Therefore, the princes recommended him to serve as the prefect of Jiujiang, and later he was transferred to the post of prefect of Wu County. He had great achievements in all places. However, Dong Zhuo's rebellion

Later, the Jiangdong garrison changed frequently, especially when Liu Yao occupied Jiangdong and expelled Yuan Shu's subordinates. Rui Zhi returned to Shouchun, and Bo Fu raised an army, and he and his son followed him to serve in the army."

The prefect of Jiujiang, the prefect of Wujun.

These two counties are closely related to Sun Ce's power.

The current location of the army is in Jiujiang County, the place he once governed. And Wu County is the core of Jiangdong! Suhu is familiar with the world. This is the Suhu Plain that will be famous in later generations. The most prosperous city in the Central Plains.

Suzhou is right here.

Jiangnan is known as the land of plenty, and 80% of the essence of the beautiful Jiangnan is found here.

Among the four famous brocades of Zhuxia, two of them, Yun brocade and Song brocade, are related to this area, and the more gorgeous Su embroidery is produced here.

It can be said that the history of the Central Plains, the trajectory of the activities of the Xia Dynasty for two thousand years, and the so-called large-scale southward migration of economic centers all refer to the transfer of the economic essence of the north to this area.

When Sun Ce leads his army into Wu County in the future, this will be his core hinterland and the foundation of the entire force. He will definitely handle the government affairs here in a more detailed and in-depth manner, so as to cultivate a beautiful Jiangnan.

Rui Zhi once served as the prefect of Wu County, and his qualifications, reputation, popular support, and experience were all important aids to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce said: "Then let Rui Zhi be responsible for the education in the army. If you have anything related to education, you can report it directly to me. I will personally work with him to promote the education in the army. Let the officers and soldiers in the army get used to learning.

Shu Shu, practice military affairs!"

"No! I will ask him to come over and meet with the general to explain in detail."

The camp was not big, and Rui Zhi arrived in front of Sun Ce quickly.

He was quite old, and his hair was a little gray. After all, his two sons were already leading troops in the military camp to fight with Sun Ce in the east.

He was an old minister who had served as a prefect. Although he was recommended by Sun Jian and was not recognized by the court, the descendants of the Sun family definitely recognized this position.

Therefore, Sun Ce treated him politely and respectfully, saying, "I will entrust all the education matters in the army to Duke Rui."

Rui Zhi also returned the gift grandly. Looking at Sun Ce who was full of heroic spirit under the firelight, Rui Zhi was filled with emotions.

This admirable and heroic spirit that is willing to die for him cannot be sustained by his middle-class qualifications. He even feels that this may be something that only this kind of hero can have.

It was precisely this kind of magnanimity that attracted countless heroes from all directions to gather under his command and let him drive at his command.

Even the guests and tribes of the Rui family commanded by his two sons followed Sun Lang's military orders more wholeheartedly.

Rui Zhi had to admit frankly that if she had had the magnanimity of Sun Lang Sancheng, she might not have been forced to leave Wu County.

What is even more certain is that only by following this young general can he enter the Wujunfu Yamen again with a conquering attitude.

This gap that was visible to the naked eye prevented him from having any second thoughts and could only help with all his heart. So he handed over his hands and said: "I will work hard to live up to Sun Lang's trust."

"good!"

While the two were talking, warm cheers and cheers suddenly broke out in the middle of the field.

Sun Ce, Cheng Pu, and Rui Zhi turned to look at the same time, and saw a strong man with a spear in the center of the field, indistinguishable from Zhou Tai. The whistling wind of his spear could be clearly heard by Sun Ce and others even if they were far away from the battlefield.

Zhou Tai couldn't get close at all for a while. The sound of gold and iron clashing was deafening.

Cheng Pu took a breath of air and asked, "Where did this fierce general come from?"

Rui Zhi also exclaimed: "Quan Ziliang prides himself on his bravery, considers himself skilled in bow and horse, and is famous in the army for his martial arts. He went up to challenge Zhou Tai, but he could only hold on for a moment, and then went to eat beef happily. But

This fierce general can actually compete with Zhou Tai on equal footing, he can be called the champion of the three armies."

Sun Ce couldn't figure out where such a fierce general could come from in the army.

Even if he counted the famous generals in the history of Soochow, he could not think of anyone who had such military power and could appear in Huainan.

He suddenly went a little too far!

Zhou Tai was also a little confused. In order to eat a piece of beef, would he fight so hard?

Before that, the entire army thought that today would be his opportunity to show off his strength.

This is also true. There are many powerful generals in the army, but only a few people can get beef from him. Among them are the commander of the army, Song Qian, Deng Dang, Rui Liang and several others. But these are all famous in the army.
