Chapter 3048: Get on the horse and fight the bandits, get off the horse and control the people
"The director of the Western Regions is the same as the Northern Rong." Fei Qian did not mean to make Zhang Liao too embarrassed, and stretched out his hand to point to the herd of war horses in the distance. "Hu Rong is good at fighting, but is good at controlling horses. If Hu Rong has no horses, there is nothing to fear."
"Horse..." Zhang Liao turned around and looked at the war horses.
Feiqian now has two huge pastures in Yinshan, Longyou. It is composed of the Jiang family, the Meng family, and the Xiongnu people in the Western Qiang and southern Xiongnu, and the number of war horses is now close to 80,000.
So does it mean that 80,000 horses can be sent to the battlefield?
Obviously, it's not possible.
The war model of severing children and grandchildren is not something Fei Qian likes.
Rational use and planned development are the embodiment of a country, an order, and a civilization.
Although Fei Qian's trip allowed Shanshan to sign the city agreement, he did not bring much money back. It would take a certain amount of time to benefit Chang'an. The lag of this time is unsupportable for ordinary families and tribes. Only with a huge organizational structure and a certain amount of savings and accumulation can there be a way to adopt this model.
It's like raising a horse.
Without a horse, it is undoubtedly a joke to compete for the mainland.
If Fei Qian mobilized with all his might, then nearly 100,000 cavalry would become a nightmare for all hostile forces. But at the same time, this kind of war launched with all his might will make Fei Qian unable to follow up...
The CD is launched with all your strength for too long.
If you only use one tenth or one twenty of the power, the blue bar will recover quickly.
This is easy to understand.
And Fei Qian did just that.
This is actually not the battle mode of the Han people, but the Hu people...
If the Hu clothing and cavalry of Zhao State in the Warring States Period were the first reform of the cavalry combat mode, then Fei Qian now wants to communicate with Zhang Liao and let Zhang Liao implement the combat mode in the next stage be said to be the second reform of the cavalry combat mode.
China should have the courage to pick the strengths of the world.
Hu's clothing and riding and shooting turned the war in the Warring States period from a chariot to a war horse, and gradually retreated from the stage of history.
The second war horse reform that Fei Qian wanted to carry out was to change the entire Chinese war model from inland to mainland China!
If you want to carry out tactical reforms in war horses, you must naturally start with horse politics.
Fei Qian's eyes fell on these war horses.
Except for the soldiers on duty, the war horses were basically removed from their horses and saddles, and then rushed to a relatively shallow place to let the horses move on their own. Because the war horses under Fei Qian were already used to acting together, even if the reins were dispersed, the war horses would not stay away, nor would they be afraid of humans, and would even shake their heads and run to the cavalry to ask for food.
"Sima of the Western Zhou Dynasty was one of the five senses of the emperor. The beginning of Qin was also herded by the emperor." Fei Qian said slowly, "During the Spring and Autumn Period, chariot wars were prevalent, with left and right chariots, four horses riding and running between fields... In a country with a thousand cycling, chariots and horses were the most important. In the Warring States Period, Hu clothing, riding and shooting, riding alone, horse politics became more and more important..."
"The horse government of Han was led by the Taishu, and the thirty-six pastors were divided into the north and west. There were 30,000 officials, slaves and 300,000 horses." Fei Qian looked at Zhang Liao and said, "The horse government will rise, and the Han government will rise. However, after Guangwu, the horse government will decline and the border areas will decline. Don't you know about such things? Don't you know about the ministers? Don't you know about the people?
War horses are a strategic resource. In order to enrich this strategic resource, the Han government began a magnificent and majestic horse government. In addition to the government setting up a special horse government management agency, Taipu Temple, the Han Dynasty also encouraged the people to raise horses and purchase high-quality horses from the people at high prices. With a rich mass base, the Han cavalry had a steady supply of war horses in the Han-Hungary War for more than a hundred years later.
Artillery can become the deterrent force of local wars, but it cannot become the main force of global wars.
With current production technology and material conditions, cavalry is undoubtedly the king of inland wars. This throne will continue until the appearance of internal combustion engines, and the cavalry will be driven off the throne and gradually withdraw from the stage of history.
The biggest enemy of the Chinese cavalry is not the opponent, but itself.
Zhang Liao also followed Fei Qian's gaze and turned to the war horses. "What is the lord's intention? Is human politics worse than horse politics?"
This is not a particularly difficult question.
The policies formulated by people will inevitably be destroyed by others. But the point is not to know that this is a problem, but to solve this problem.
"Xiaowu had horses, but Guangwu had no horses." Fei Qian smiled and said, "The Han and the Huns fought each other, and each suffered damage... The Han forced the Huns to flee in the North Sea in a hurry, but they also lost tens of thousands of soldiers and lost 100,000 horses... The Han horses were scarce because of it. In his later years, Xiaowu marched into the Western Regions and mostly advanced with infantry... It was not that they did not want to know what the cavalry used, but that there was no horse."
"At first, Xiaowu's horses were like the Huns. They raised them with the people, and selected them with the best and bought them..." Fei Qian looked at the horses, and then showed some meaningful smiles. "Later, the powerful men saw their profits, so they promoted the harm of the people and made Xiaowu change the people's raising them to the tyrants..."
Zhang Liao was a little surprised and confused.
Are there any problems with free-range horses among the people?
There must be something wrong.
Uneven.
In later generations, the Japanese people initially emphasized that one cup of milk a day was to grow taller, but some powerful men set their sights on this business, claiming that the civilian free-range milk was not up to standard and unhygienic, and they could not grow taller. They also caught a lot of unqualified samples to deliver them. They immediately began to ban free-range and instead used cattle for large households.
Are there any problems with free-range dairy cows among the people?
have.
There is no problem for large households to raise cattle?
There is no real one!
The original issue of retail investors' breeding, after the powerful households take over, not only can they add various "helpful" feed supplement ingredients with scientific and evidence, but also can add various "qualified" food additives to the finished milk. By the way, they can also modify the original milk naming rules to confuse the original definition of fresh milk, so that milk with insufficient protein can also be sold smoothly.
This is actually the same process as the horse politics that raised horses in the Han Dynasty.
Because there are some problems with free-range horses among the people, the powerful have reported and expanded these problems. However, the powerful have created this problem itself not to solve these problems, but to absorb this part of the benefits from the people. Local powerful people are not fools, horses are extremely important strategic resources. If they know the country needs it, how can they be willing to sell it at a low price?
The price of horses is getting higher and higher, but the quality of horses can be reduced and worse by various means...
So can we nationalize all the breeding of war horses, can we avoid the disadvantages of the powerful?
That's what Li Shimin thought, and that's what he did.
In the Tang Dynasty, Ma Zheng learned from the experience and lessons of Ma Zheng in the Han Dynasty, and changed the powerful horse raising to a state-owned horse farm.
Not only Li Shimin, but the emperors of several subsequent dynasties realized the importance of war horses, so they basically focused on state-owned horse raising...
In the Tang Dynasty, the Li family raised war horses on a large scale in the Helong area, and the number reached 700,000 at the highest. However, because the Tang Dynasty attached too much importance to war horses, the Tang Dynasty adopted the policy of suppressing and suppressing horse raising in the people. The social trend of horse raising is no longer the same as the old view of the Han Dynasty. The disadvantages of enterprises running nationwide are naturally very obvious. They have no desire to evolve, and there is no mention of the cultivation and improvement of horse breeds.
Every foreign war in the Tang Dynasty, while winning, also means that the best group of war horses in the original horse farm died, and the next time it is suboptimal, the next time it is suboptimal, and the next time it is suboptimal, and finally it degenerates into ponies...
Because the ponies are not selected every time, they naturally preserve the most genes.
Therefore, it is obvious that the matter of raising horses is not achieved by the people alone. It is easy to raise horses among the people, and there is no problem with emergency response, but it is impossible to build a stance or scale.
If you let the powerful raise the tyrants, you can become a corporation and scale, but the powerful will take the opportunity to thwart the country's neck and even ask the country to repeatedly lower the horse selection standards, because it is difficult to raise horses and the income is low!
Letting official state-owned institutions raise horses can indeed ensure the supply of war horses for a certain period of time, but the degree of corruption in state-owned enterprises is very amazing. At the same time, after state-owned enterprises, policies have become the biggest influencing factor.
Just like the Song Dynasty, the country was working hard to raise horses, and formulated many policies, even various welfare, trying to concentrate on major tasks. However, because the policy of horse politics in the Song Dynasty changed too quickly, the number of state-owned horses reached a peak of 200,000 during the Zhenzong period of Song Dynasty. However, the reformists lost power and the number of horses in the number of horses dropped sharply. The next "horse politics" was nothing more than a pretentious act. As a result, the cost of a state-owned horse in the Song Dynasty was as high as 500 guan, while the price of a horse in the northwest border trade was only 25 guan. The more state-owned horse assets, the greater the financial pressure and the harder the lives of ordinary people.
"Take where the horses of the people are wide, where the horses of the country are good, and where the horses of the courtyards are measured!" Fei Qian smiled and said, "If this is the case, the horses of China are so powerful in the world!"
Zhang Liao nodded, then his eyes turned a few times, as if he wanted to speak but stopped.
Fei Qian laughed, "Haha, Wen Yuan thinks that by then, it will probably become the only place where the people's horses are scattered, the country horses are scattered, and the garden horses are scattered?"
Zhang Liao also laughed, "Since the lord has thoughts on it, he should have a plan."
Fei Qian nodded slowly. He had actually been thinking about this issue for a long time.
For most people in the Han Dynasty, there was no way to base themselves on the entire history like Fei Qian and look at the problem vertically. For most people in the Han Dynasty, it is already amazing to be able to compare horizontally. Only a very small number of first-class wise figures can combine the experiences of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to seek solutions to some current problems.
This is also why Li Ru had such a high evaluation of Zuo Zhuan at that time...
Fei Qian couldn't understand it in the early stage, but later he figured it out.
The reason why some gangsters think that Zuo Zhuan is no big deal and sneer at it is because of the contribution of nine years of compulsory education and the Internet to popularize knowledge. However, people in the Han Dynasty really couldn't understand the historical experience.
Although Fei Qian now educated the Southern Xiongnu, beat the Xianbei, hooked up with the Western Qiang, drove the Wuhuan away from Baishui and Heishan Mountain, recaptured the Yinshan Western Region, expanded the sphere of influence to the snowy area, and pressed the young Tubo to the ground to fight hard, but this does not mean that there will be no threat from nomadic peoples around China from now on.
Now Feiqian is just a window of advantage in the last window of Chinese classical military, and is crushing the nomadic peoples that are still in bone and bronze. In the Western Regions, Feiqian has discovered that the settlement of nomadic peoples, the development of farming, the development of metallurgy, and the excavation of mines. Over time, the metallurgical gap in black iron technology will be narrowed.
Although nomadic peoples may not be able to make more steel, steel presses iron, but is not as big as iron presses bronze.
The corruption of the Chinese Empire is also an inevitable problem.
No matter which feudal dynasty is suppressed by the founding emperor, it may be able to be honest for a while, while the third and fourth generations begin to be corrupt and deteriorate almost 100%. After a hundred years, it will become a stubborn disease. Those who want to be moderately improved will definitely be killed by senior corruption in the Xiyuan Pool.
So there must be catfish.
And there can't be only one.
Catfish also appeared more than once in the Dahan pond.
Dong Zhuo was originally a catfish, and then Lu Bu, but unfortunately, although they came from a lower class, they did not want to expand their rights and assert authority for their original class. Instead, they sharpened their heads and wanted to squeeze into the upper class. How could people from the upper class easily accept Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu?
When people like Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu who are relatively low-born have separated from their original class, how could the original class continue to support them? So their ultimate defeat became inevitable.
Li Guo, the Yellow Turban, Black Mountain, White Wave, etc., are another type of catfish.
Unfortunately, these catfish lost order from the beginning and only knew how to kill and solve problems. Kill corrupt officials, kill powerful people, kill all those who stop them, and kill all those who oppose them. They thought that killing them was useful, and killing them until no one dared to object was done. However, these people did not even understand the most basic political theories. The establishment of human society and the birth of various laws were originally based on the word "compromise".
I have fish, you have valley.
If you exchange fish for valleys and fish for valleys, no one will compromise and cannot reach a price, then you can only kill. After killing, the fish will be left, either the valleys or both will suffer losses. Nothing will be left.
If the two emperors of Yan and Huang did not compromise with each other, they would be unable to cooperate, and thus there would be no Huaxia.
The biggest feature of the wealthy family is that they know how to compromise. They can be said to be weak in their knees or to show the current situation. So just like Shanshan, even if Fei Qian splits Shanshan into two countries, both Lao Wang and Xiao Wang silently endured it because they both knew that the current situation could only be tolerated. Even if they knew that perhaps one day of their descendants, Shanshan would perish, but that was the matter of their descendants...
"The foreign countries in the Western Regions are like the powerful Chinese. The countries in the Western Regions can be destroyed, collected, divided, and weakened. It is not about destroying and collecting and sharing the weak, but about education and unity." Fei Qian said slowly, "The tyrants in the Chinese counties are also the same. With the magnificents of the agricultural and industrialists, the horse government, farming and pastoralism as the key, the circulation of metal and stone tools, and the connection between the people's will, not to mention the obstruction of the powerful Chinese, it is even the great world, and the world is also taken!"
"This method is the correct explanation of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce."
"The scholar's learning is not used by the people. The farming and farming are not beneficial to the people. All things in business and business are like this. The people's desires are not external to food, housing and transportation. However, the food in the Spring and Autumn Period cannot be eaten today, and the clothes in the Warring States Period cannot be worn in the present. There is a nest that can be settled in the past, but it cannot be lived in the present. What the ancestors seek and what the people can be called saints, just like Cangjie creating characters. What the people are anxious about can be called wise, just like Dayu controlling the flood. What the people suffer and solve it can be made emperor, just like Emperor Gaozu."
『The people's hearts are like flowing water, and it is better to be loose than blockage." Fei Qian finally said, 『Wenyuan is now galloping north and south, horses leaping east and west, and the experience among the Han Dynasty is Wenyuan...』
Fei Qian's eyes were on Zhang Liao, "Wen Yuan had thought about what he wanted, what he wanted?"
Zhang Liao was stunned.
Fei Qian and Zhang Liao said so much, first to indicate their own position, second to show their future prospects, third, naturally, to avoid Zhang Liao following Lu Bu's footsteps.
Although Zhang Liao ended better than Lu Bu in history, it was actually a little better. He was always excluded from the periphery of the political circle. On the surface, Cao Cao seemed to boast about Zhang Wenyuan as long as Zhang Liao was present, but in fact, Cao Cao did not trust Zhang Liao at all, at least not more than trusting the Cao family Xiahou family...
Some warriors are indeed not suitable for politics because their brains are full of muscles, but Zhang Liao obviously has potential in this regard. Moreover, for an empire that mainly expands externally, if political power falls into the hands of civil servants, it will soon expand from externally to internal friction. Therefore, Fei Qian wanted to develop Zhang Liao's potential in this regard and make Zhang Liao's successful transformation into a qualified "catfish".
Of course, if Zhang Liao only hopes to become a pure military general, then it doesn’t matter, but if Zhang Liao hopes to get to the next level, Fei Qian is also willing to support him.
After all, there are many kinds of catfish, it depends on where to place them.
Zhang Liao pondered for a long time, "Lord... Liao is not talented, dare to ask what the lord wants..."
Fei Qian smiled and said, "Wan Yuan knows that since this year, the prices of rice and grain in Shandong have been boiling again? The price of corn is twice as high, but the people have no benefit. Some people don't even care about their own food, and there are many people selling their children and women... However, the surnames in Shandong still think that the people still have ointment and blood, and they crawl on them and suck food..."
"What someone wants is not this country, but the people in the country." Fei Qian said with a smile, "If there are no people, what is the use of the country?"
"If there are no people, what is the use of the country..." Zhang Liao murmured and said, "What the lord wants is what the lord wants! Liao is willing to drive the lord, to rush the bandits, and to dismount the horse to govern the people!"
