Chapter VIII Fan Soldiers(1/2)
Jicheng Chefang was newly built 188 four-wheeled carriages, and they were sent to Luoyang according to the order.
Of course, it was not an empty car, but a meat fish that was marinated with tens of thousands of stones, which could be used as armor.
After the construction period, Lingbao Car House was officially put into production.
The four-wheeled carriage will be used during the Western Expedition - if the road conditions are not particularly bad.
Shao Shude took the time to go outside the city to check out the carriage and asked about the coachmen's experience of using it. After learning that the failure rate was not high, he felt relieved.
The production capacity of Jicheng Chefang is still expanding. They recently recruited a large number of former Black Cheshi Wei's troops from the grassland tribes, and after training, they started to be put into production.
King Xi, Sanquan Wang and other tribes were a little unhappy because Wei had already been pacified. Except for the West and Daibei, the rest of the tribes were either in Xianyou Palace or in their hands. They wanted to swallow them.
It is conceivable that it is heartbreaking to spit out the fat meat.
But Feng Heng, the left-behind Beijing, was a tough guy, holding a chicken feather as a command arrow - uh, he really had a sword - he forced the person away, and the compensation he gave was nothing but some food and cloth, and the amount was not very large.
Speaking of which, the Supreme Khan is the most particular.
Next year, after the Lingbao Car House is put into production stably, a new car House in Guanzhong will be built, namely Baoji Car House, to use local forest resources to drive full power to build four-wheeled carriages.
Strong production capacity has always been the traditional advantage of the Central Plains dynasty, so we must naturally make good use of it.
After the inspection, Shao Shude returned to Shangyang Palace to manage the government. During the nine and October, he handled basically all matters related to the Western Expedition.
In the past two months, except for the queen who occasionally lives in Lichun Palace, most of the girls of Shao Shude are Xiao, Du and Wei.
They were delighted that they finally rescued the saint. They tried their best to use all their skills, poetry, tea ceremony, piano playing, dance, etc., to make the wild woman who can only shake her butt pale.
Shao Shude was also happy.
If you are used to greasy meals, try this combination of meat and vegetables, and the meal with exquisite dishes is also good.
In early November, news came from the north: the three tribes of Gorgeuquan, Keduncheng, and Nuozhenshui went north and fought with the Tatars for half a year, and they won and lost each other.
Shao Shude was a little annoyed at first sight. Is they really not able to do it, or are they cheating? Or are they both?
After calming down, Shao Shude felt that he could not doubt others for no reason. He tended to think that although these three movies were not hard-working, he still worked hard and did not deliberately perfunctory.
At the same time, I was also reflecting that when I was old, I was prone to doubting others. It was not a good thing to curb this emotion.
The monarch who was wise and powerful when he was young and powerful, became the lord of the guessing in his later years. If you look at the changes in the central journey in detail, it is actually quite interesting.
Shao Shude is fighting against this emotion and looks at things from an objective standpoint as much as possible.
"These years pass by, life is so fast." Shao Shude put down his brush and sighed.
Inadvertently, the eleventh year of Jianji is about to pass.
Since mid-last year, he has not gone out to wander and has been staying honestly in Luoyang.
The whole country was generally peaceful.
Hunan was conquered and the chaos in the five jurisdictions was generally pacified.
There were occasional chaos in Guizhou, which was pacified by King Mianren of Wei. Just a few days ago, Sanlang submitted a memorial, mentioning that the first batch of 3,000 Hebei people sent to Jizhou at the end of the ninth year of Jianji had already gained a foothold. This year
The grain harvest has stabilized. In view of the local situation, please send a second batch of 2,000 Hebei surrendered soldiers and their families to the counties of Jizhou, build villages and live in land and cultivate land.
Shao Shude approved it and ordered another two thousand Chengde, Cangjing, Yi Ding prisoners from Linshuo Palace servants, and his family were sent to Qianzhong.
As for the people of Wei Bo, they slowed down a little. This place was like rotten sores, and there were constant rebellions. Shao Shude couldn't remember how many times he had suppressed it.
It is worthy of gratitude that their rebellion has never succeeded, and its frequency and intensity have been decreasing. One day, these stupid people will know that even if they rebel, they will be useless and will accept their fate.
Sanlang Mianren is actually good at his level.
Shao Shude did not deny him completely because of one failure. In fact, he led the Shu soldiers and the barbarians in Qianzhong to fight. The only one who was embarrassed was Yao Yanzhang that time. Other times, he was considered to be qualified.
Shao Shude had already asked him to be the pacifier of Bozhou, focusing on the management of the barbarians of Bozhou and the two provinces to stabilize the central and southern parts of Guizhou for the court.
Outside the south, the north has ushered in a rare rest and recuperation.
In addition to transferring some grain and grass in Henan, most areas are improving agriculture, dredging ditches and building ponds.
Hebei even lost the pain of transfer. There was a rebellion in the old land of the Bohai Kingdom, but it suddenly became destroyed. The last five thousand people of the Qing Pass army were placed in Muzhou and became soldiers.
Andong Prefecture is the first area to complete the full resettlement of the government troops. The entire prefecture has more than 10,000 troops and nearly 30,000 households, all of which have been in place.
Chenzhou and Xianzhou are expected to become the second batch of prefectures and counties.
But as of now, the gap between the tribe is still large, and it is far from enough to just demote the rebellious Hu people to the tribe. This year, the imperial court shipped more than 6,000 descendants from Jiangxi and their families, and thousands will be sent next year.
The people of Hebei are guilty and are basically rebels.
The serious desire for the army, so Shao Shude wanted to start a new war and artificially created a group of slaves. He ordered the third son Mianren to be in charge of the two states to be the foreign troops, perhaps out of some indescribable sins in his heart
Private thoughts.
There are so many surrendered soldiers in the south, and there are more than 40,000 Shu soldiers alone, and there are still 50,000 troops in Qinghai, Ningyuan and Guangjie. If you include Qian Liu's tens of thousands of soldiers, it is really a headache.
Fortunately, there has been no war in the south for many years. There is a lot of wealth accumulation, which makes Shao Shude have a strong impulse to "train troops". That is, when the troops were still in combat, they would repair the barbarians of all the troops and come out in vain.
The land was moved from Guanxi and Hebei to settle the people.
Of course, if he does this, he will most likely not leave any good reputation in history books. The name of tyrant is getting closer and closer to him, so he still has to find a way to control the scale.
These are his trivial and unpretentious "working from home" career.
Shao Sheng, who was staying in Luoyang, made surrender to all kinds of people, and the barbarians of all tribes could not bear it. Even the people of Hebei were deeply resentful.
I would rather have five acres of land from Hebei than ten acres of land from the south! I just don’t want to immigrate.
What? Shao Sheng’s “Immigration Working Group” came with a strong bow and crossbow? Damn, can you give twenty acres of land?
National affairs are composed of these small things bit by bit.
Now Daxia is like a pressure cooker, and it depends entirely on his pot cover. He is trembling and walking on thin ice, which is true.
*******
On November 13, Shao Shude, accompanied by his guards and concubines, moved to Shenduyuan and issued the "Seeking the Emperor's Imperial Palace":
"I inherited the destiny of heaven, and began to open the map of the emperor, and sought the confusion of the four seas, and the five-year patrol tour... The capital was famous for its dynasties, the old land of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the people were rich in characters, and the mountains and rivers were majestic... Although the land was promoted to the Three Capitals, the people were the people.
I didn't know the Yu Chengyu..."
"And the Western Capital scholars have been sincere and have come forward. I think that my car is here for the time being, and that the words of the inner and outer world will be prosperous, and the revival of the latter are not as convenient as possible... Now, take the eighteenth day of the twelfth year,
When I visited Xidu, I accompanied the officials from both inside and outside, as well as horses, infantry and soldiers, and were not allowed to disturb people or trample on crops."
"In the opera! I live in the great territory and become the king of the world. After the patrol is carried out in the rituals, the Hang Shou should be buried in Qingze. The human relationship is harmonious, and the emperor's way is bright. I hope that the loyal ministers will always praise the fortune of Longping.
.Only, both at home and abroad, you should understand my heart.”
At this point, the date of visiting Chang'an has been determined: after the Lantern Festival in the 12th year of Jianji.
The blessing of Chang'an in the West does not mean the Western Expedition, it is just another change in the imperial political center between the three capitals.
The imperial stamp also made it clear. The latest generation of Guanxi people "the people did not know the chariot of the chariot" and did not know the emperor. In other words, they did not feel the majesty of the emperor.
Recalling the fact that in the fifties after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were still a large number of people who did not know that they were "Chinese". The ancient etiquette of "Five Years of Laws" was very necessary, otherwise how could they "success the four seas" be "
The confusion”?
As for the scholars and people in Xidu kept expressing their conspiracies, "all of whom are glad to be blessed", it was all a scene.
Ordinary people are living people and are very busy all year round. How could they persuade the emperor to go to their hometown every day? Not to mention that they may "trample on the crops", even if the court will "take seedlings and collect money and goods along with them."
According to the hectares and the removal of the acres, they exempted part of their taxes to compensate for the losses, which is still very troublesome in general.
In addition to some palace guards and all the Yinanzhi, the army accompanied by the army also had the army of generals, Yi Cong, Fei Xiong, and the newly arrived part of the foreigners. At this moment, the one standing in Shenduyuan was the one who was standing-
More than a thousand Baolu and other prisoners were strong in the Jurchens, plus thousands of soldiers from the Meishi tribes in bitter and cold places such as Junzhou, Jizhou, and Meizhou.
The people of Bohai did not forget to send troops. They gathered a total of thousands of people, most of whom were aristocratic families and the children of wealthy families were "capable".
The Wei tribes, who sent envoys to tribute the year before yesterday, sent more than a thousand cavalrymen, but they did not do anything perfunctory, and their overall level was still OK.
The seven sacred states in the grassland were large soldiers, each of whom selected Khitan, Xi, Bohai, and Han'er with 300 strong strength, and gathered two thousand people.
The Goguryeo clan in Lezhou sent thousands of soldiers.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs also sent 1,6700 debt slaves.
The total number of foreign soldiers of various tribes is about 9,100, mainly strong and brave. Shao Shude selected 900 older imperial guards for Xia Luqi, gathering up 10,000 people to train to form a military companion.
Driving in the West.
These are actually the results of the Eastern Expedition in the previous few years, and now some of them have been fulfilled.
To fight the Western Regions, the imperial guards do not need to dispatch many people.
The journey is long, people eat horses and chew it, and the cost is very high. This battle army is expensive, but not much. The six inspectors, the palace slaves, and the Liaodong foreign soldiers gathered tens of thousands of elite troops, plus tens of thousands of imperial guards, horses and infantry soldiers, and the river
The Longfan tribe has drawn another part of the strong ones, which is almost enough.
If you beat the Hu people, are you satisfied just to give them a canon so that they won’t cause trouble?
No, that is because you have not really ruled them, so you have no ability to make them bleed and work hard. Only by truly bringing the Hu people into their own rule and becoming part of this country can you convince them and send troops to follow the battle.
Shao Shude was always amazed by Li Shimin's ability to shake people from the Indus River to attack Goguryeo, and also admired him for allowing the Goguryeo people to go to the Pamir Mountains to fight. Emperor Taizong of Tang was truly recognized by various tribes and countries.
The nobles of the foreigners are not fools, they can tell whether you treat them as your subjects.
To be continued...
