Inside Nancai City, most of the buildings are distributed in open streets and alleys. However, for the functions of garrison, school buildings, government offices and other needs as well as for Ye'an, the North City area was separated into six independent courtyards, with each other separated from each other.
Separated by tall walls, entry and exit will be strictly controlled.
Han Gui built the Jingshenghou Mansion for Xu Huai in Yingchunfang, Beicheng, with a large courtyard with five entrances and three spans.
However, after the Jingsheng Marquis Mansion was built, Xu Huai ordered that it be temporarily used as a branch of the state school in Nancai - resources are so scarce now, there are too many houses to be built in Nancai City, and Xu Huai can only build one in a year.
Come over here, the Jingshenghou Mansion must not be left empty.
After the great victory at Panlongzhai, Xu Huai immediately set up a state branch school in Nancai, mainly setting up warrior studios and craftsman studios, and encouraged the children of refugees to apply. The first batch of 300 young children were selected to enroll.
The conditions of the State Branch School were very difficult and crude at first. They only built a number of shacks in the city to teach military, arithmetic, construction, water conservancy and equipment knowledge.
The current conditions have improved. In addition to using Jingshenghou Mansion as a school building, a special accommodation area has also been built. It is planned to expand the number of students to 600 after July.
Since the construction of Chushan City and the Huangyang Lake cofferdam, Chushan has never lacked the ability to organize the construction of large-scale water conservancy construction projects. In the second year after Jianjian, tens of thousands of workers and troops were used to break the water and divert it into Ying, which was the key to Ruying's great victory.
point.
Next, the construction of three super embankments and the Jingjiang and Hanshui levees were organized in Nancai at all costs. In addition to the more than 200,000 Nancai people who needed more fields and habitat and breeding space, through a series of large-scale,
The long-lasting industrial construction was also an in-depth sorting and organizing process for hundreds of thousands of young men and women in Nancai.
There are hundreds of thousands of young men and women in Nancai, especially nearly 80,000 young men. The most important thing that Xu Huai and everyone in Chushan should pay attention to is that they have basically experienced the ravages of war and were forced to flee their homes.
In the following years, he was displaced and suffered a lot.
Sometimes this may make people insensitive, but the other side of insensitivity is firm will and unyielding strength.
At the same time, they have a deeper hatred for the Chihu people than the people of Jinghu, and have a much stronger desire to expel the Huru and regain the Central Plains. Naturally, they are also the best source of soldiers in Chushan.
As long as Chushan insists on expelling the barbarians and recovering the Central Plains as its core purpose, they must be Chushan's staunchest supporters.
Not to mention the officials in the imperial court, the gentry and landlords in Nanyang, Xiangyang, Jianghuai and other places implemented a series of violations against Chushan and Rucai and other prefectures, such as the equalization of land benefits, the unified purchase of grain, the suppression of nobles, and the priority given to generals and their families.
The traditional New Deal is extremely repulsive and even fearful.
However, most of the gentry and scholars who fled south from Hehuai, Heluo and other places failed to gain a place in Jianye and Xiangyang.
After escaping from their homes, they were forced to move around, go through hardships, and even watch their relatives being slaughtered. They would die of hunger and disease on the way south or while stranded in the wilderness. Their stubborn old ideas have been completely eliminated.
I was completely shattered by this cruel reality.
They even have a stronger desire than ordinary hungry people to recover the Central Plains and return to their homeland.
Since Chushan opened the Samurai House, it has focused on recruiting young adults and teenagers with a certain cultural background from refugees fleeing south. In the past three or four years, they have been gradually incorporated into the army to supplement the grassroots generals and military officials. Basically, they are more brave in combat.
, and also has a high degree of recognition of Chushan.
Such a huge investment in Nancai was also to alleviate the shortage of soldiers in Chushan to a considerable extent.
At present, the Military Intelligence Department is secretly supporting and cultivating Dongzhou Village, and is also doing everything possible to guide the generals and military officials who came from refugees in Hehuai and other places to occupy a dominant position in Dongzhou Village.
In this way, even without Zhao Shan, Liu Fujin and others lurking inside Dongzhou Village, the Military Intelligence Department can ensure that most of the generals and military officials in Dongzhou Village are psychologically closer to Chushan, so as to recruit peace for one day in the future.
Incorporate Dongzhou Village and fundamentally eliminate obstacles.
In comparison, the rebel generals who came from lower-level farmers in Jinghu are more willing to crack down on corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry, and are psychologically more resistant to recruitment and recruitment; at the same time, because they have not experienced personal pain, they
The hatred towards the Red Husbands for trampling on the Central Plains is somewhat pie-in-the-sky, and the feelings are not real enough——
Ordinary people today have a much weaker concept of family and country than those of later generations.
People like Sun Yanzhou, Hu Dangzhou and others secretly colluded with the Red Husbands, but there were actually not many psychological obstacles.
"...Jiang Ang is still more concerned about whether the foundation of Dongzhou Village is solid. Even though he can't stand Hu Dangzhou and others, he has had a lot of conflicts, but he has no special and strong will to verify whether they are really related to the Chihu people.
They colluded secretly; but it was only at the strong suggestion of Jiang Xiong, Zhang Cong and others that they sent people to Xingguo County, Ganzhou to verify Tian Rusheng's family background. The verified information should have been brought back to Dongzhou Village..."
After the provincial wedding banquet in the Yiguan, Wang Wenchong, Wang Mingqi and other members of the Wang clan who had moved to Nancaicheng said goodbye and left. Only a few people, including Han Gui, Xu Sheng, Jiang Xie, etc., were still sitting in front of the hall. Zhou Jingcai described Dongzhou Village in detail
and the current situation of the Jinghu Faction and the Refugee Faction within the Dongjing Alliance Army.
Whether we talk about the Dongjing Alliance Army or the Dongjing Rebel Army, they are actually mainly composed of two types of groups:
One is the poor peasants at the bottom of the prefectures and counties along Dongting Lake and the Jingjiang River, totaling 200,000 to 300,000 men, women, old and young; the other is the famished people who fled the war and went south, the scale is even larger, with almost 700,000 to 800,000 people joining the Dongjing Allied Forces.
Therefore, they fled south, and most of them became destitute, suffering from hunger and disease, and had no worries.
However, the backbone of the Dongjing Rebel Army's initial rebellion was the thirty-six water village forces that were inextricably linked to the poor peasants at the bottom of the surrounding counties and counties.
After occupying the upper-level positions of the Dongjing Alliance Army, the leaders and leaders of the thirty-six water villages are more willing to promote and appoint military officers and generals from surrounding counties and counties, and regard them as their direct relatives and confidants. They can be called the Jinghu Sect.
.
Currently, the Jinghu faction is the leading force in the Dongjing coalition.
However, the scale of the refugees from the south who joined the Dongjing Alliance Army was too large, and the Dongjing Alliance Army's own organizational capabilities were limited. They had to use military generals who were refugees to use the natural cohesion of their clans and villages to lead their respective clans and villages.
Public.
This resulted in the fact that within the Dongjing Alliance Army, 70% to 80% of the middle and lower-level military officers, generals and military officials were from the refugee camp in the south, which can be called the refugee faction.
Xu Huai asked the Military Intelligence Department to spend so much manpower and material resources to support Dongzhou Village. More importantly, they had to contact Dongzhou Village and unite the generals of the Dongjing Allied Forces who were refugees from the south.
Compared with Qiao County, Nancai can absorb 240,000 to 50,000 southbound refugees, which can provide Chushan with nearly 80,000 young and strong reserve military forces. Within the entire Dongjing Allied Forces, the number of young southbound refugees is as high as more than 200,000.
If we include the refugee forces along Dongting Lake and Jingjiang River that have not yet surrendered to the Dongjing Allied Forces, this number may be as high as 400,000.
If Ge Boyi is really allowed to successfully annihilate the Dongjing bandits, such a large number of young and strong refugees may be controlled by the Huai Palace and his family. Even if Chushan does not secretly hold back the Huai Palace, he will still strive to control them one day.
Some of the refugees are young and strong, so they should not be owned by the Huai Palace.
This was also the plan Shi Zhen proposed to Xu Huai after he learned of the news that Xu Wei had died of illness later in his life.
At the moment when Dangxiang is about to fall completely, Emperor Jianjian may be in bad health. This move is as important as preparing for war in Rucai against Heluo and the enemy in the west of Beijing.
For this reason, Xu Huai sent Zhou Jing to stay in Nancai to take charge of this matter, and gathered nearly half of the personnel of the General Intelligence Department to push everything forward step by step.
"The Jinghu faction occupies absolute dominance within the Dongjing coalition, and they are mostly interested in taking advantage of the refugees from the south. They also intend to suppress the refugee faction. The military will rise within the Dongjing coalition - the recent battles with Jingnan and Jingbei troops,
The refugee generals were seriously injured, and the previous slogans of cracking down on corrupt officials and equalizing land between the rich and the poor were not fulfilled. There was already considerable dissatisfaction among the middle and lower levels of the Dongjing coalition army. We also thought of some ways to secretly arrange manpower to go
I have contacted some refugee generals in the rebel army. Of course, I have not directly used the name of Chushan for the time being. I can only say that I am getting a feel for it. It is almost certain that these refugee generals have a strong influence on Dongzhou Village in the Linjiang area south of Bailu Lake.
I am very interested in large-scale reclamation, and I am not even worried about the Jingzhou garrison coveting one side; these are mainly the southward refugees within the Dongjing coalition army, and their living conditions have not been improved. I think Dongzhou Village can continue to increase its control of nearby areas in the second half of the year.
The degree of absorption of refugee forces has increased, but correspondingly, our funding for Dongzhou Village must also be strengthened."
"Then step up and grit your teeth to get this thing done," Xu Huai said, "Lifengtang will try to transport an additional 50,000 shi of grain into Bailu Lake this year..."
"Previously, 800,000 yuan was spent on the construction of Nancaicheng and Xiaoheling embankments. Next, Nancai will build three more embankments and the Jingjiang and Hanshui embankments, which will cost at least 1 million yuan.
Money," Xu Sheng shouted with a headache, "This has far exceeded the initial estimate..."
At the beginning of Qiao's settlement in Nancai, Xingying estimated that Chushan would need tens and hundreds of thousands of guan, and borrow another 400,000 to 500,000 guan from Ezhou, which would be enough. However, in less than a year, eight hundred thousand guan had already been spent on the Qiao's settlement.
One hundred thousand guan; when the general construction of Nancai County is completed, the cost will be almost three times the original estimate.
This is because Chushan's general and official system is sufficiently transparent and efficient, Xu Huai's management is also strict, and there is very little corruption among them.
The main reason why it far exceeded the estimate was that there were too many refugees to be accommodated at once. The large-scale construction of settlements exceeded the estimate three times, and the extremely large number of old, weak, women and children had to be provided with food to ensure that they could live in Nancai.
There are one or two rooms to live in.
Nearly 80,000 young and strong men are treated as reserve military forces. They will maintain great restraint in their service and work to avoid excessive consumption of the body. They must also try their best to increase nutrition for them. Several aspects are superimposed, and the consumption is naturally high.
Far exceeded expectations.
Only a few people in Chushan knew the full story of the strategy proposed by Shi Zhen. Therefore, Xu Sheng and others could understand why they wanted to run Qiao County Nancai at any cost, but they did not understand why they had to go so hard, and even secretly supported Dongzhou Village regardless of violating taboos.
.
Fortunately, Xu Huai has established absolute prestige in Chushan over the years. Even if he is confused, there is no problem in execution...
