Chapter 23, Arms Base

In March of the second year of Zhongping, Wei County!

With the Yellow Turban Army's millions of troops fighting against the Han army, Xu Wei, a small bandit, was no longer conspicuous, especially since the Wei County he occupied was still within the Yellow Turban Army's sphere of influence, so the war would not affect Wei County.

Yanzhou, which had crossed the Yellow River, was lucky to see that Xu Wei had not come over. They did not dare to provoke Xu Wei, so for a while, Weijun felt a bit like a paradise. After confirming that Weijun was safe, Xu Wei took the entire Hukou Mountain with him.

All the refugees came down the mountain.

At this time, all the powerful gentry in Wei County either killed Xu Wei and others or escaped on their own. It can be said that the entire Wei County became Xu Wei's own independent kingdom, and more than 100,000 refugees followed him.

This puts Xu Wei under great pressure. It is not an easy task to feed so many people.

Xu Wei established state-owned enterprises one after another according to the modern system, and then they expanded various blacksmiths and carpenters according to the previous establishment. During the war, Xu Wei did not have to worry about not receiving orders, because the entire Yellow Turban Army of one million people was

Xu Wei their customers.

Nowadays, a large amount of rattan armor, spears, swords and arrows are sold to Zhang Niujiao and the others in Wei County every day. Zhang Niujiao has wiped out dozens of powerful families in Jizhou and has no shortage of money, so the entire Wei County has become a

The logistics base of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Niujiao, the Yellow Turban commander, paid great attention to Xu Wei, his younger brother.

But what Xu Wei valued most was the fields in the entire Wei County. The powerful people fled and a large amount of land was abandoned, as many as millions of acres. Xu Wei immediately sent people to take over and build farms one by one. In order to ensure the safety of farming,

In order to reduce the labor force, Xu Wei settled all the refugees who followed him to farm on these lands, retaining only an establishment of 10,000 people.

And even this Ten Thousand Tengjia Army spends half a day training and working half a day! Even the leader Xu Wei is no exception.

Wang Lei asked Xu Wei unconvinced: "Captain, now the other rebel armies are fighting the Han army, why are we farming? If the imperial army doesn't attack, it will be all over. We are not helping the corrupt officials of the imperial court to farm!"

Xu Wei sighed and said: "It's March now, and if you look around, it's already a mess. Jizhou's food supply is going to be over again this year. If we don't get food now, hundreds of thousands of people will be killed again in winter."

Starve to death. We are not helping corrupt officials farm but helping ordinary people farm. You have never seen powerful people starve to death, right! But ordinary people starve to death in groups. Now that we have saved a county's food, it is equivalent to

Saved hundreds of thousands of lives!"

Wang Lei also fell silent when he heard Xu Wei's words. He is a native of Jizhou, and naturally he doesn't want his hometown to be starved to death.

This can be regarded as a series of bad luck for the people of Jizhou. For two years in a row, there has been war at the beginning of spring. Last year's war went straight into winter, and it was impossible to farm even if you wanted to. This year's war started at the time of spring planting, and it is not over yet.

Know how long to wait.

You must know this. Jizhou is the largest granary of the Han Dynasty. This granary has encountered wars one after another, and no one is growing food. How can there be so few people dying of starvation? Xu Wei estimates that the three northern states will be short of food. He expected this

Under such circumstances, we spare no effort to cultivate the land.

Xu Wei's behavior of disbanding the army to open up wasteland, and the fact that Tengjia Junqiu did not commit any crimes, finally made the local people settle down one by one and began to cultivate their own land.

As far as Xu Wei can see, there is basically no wasteland in the entire Wei County. As long as the weather is good, Wei County's food can be saved.

While Xu Wei was clearing up wasteland, Old Man Wang came over with a man.

Xu Wei saw that it was Zhen An!

When Zhen An saw Xu Wei, he immediately knelt down and said, "Please also ask Commander Lei Gong Qu to save our Zhen family!"

Xu Wei immediately helped him up and asked: "What's going on? What difficulties does your Zhen family have?"

Zhen An cried: "The Yellow Turban Army is attacking the city in Zhongshan County. Now it has surrounded me, Zhen An. Please ask Commander Qu to save the Zhen family for the sake of our cooperation in the past!"

Because of Xu Wei's crowbar, the defensive power of Wubao was greatly weakened, and the advantage of the Yellow Turban soldiers in numbers was greatly enhanced.

It can be said that there are very few Wubao that can resist the Yellow Turban Army for three days, and Wubao's financial equipment and food are needed by the Yellow Turban Rebel Army. Now after the battle line is deadlocked.

The Yellow Turban Rebel Army turned around and began to deal with the Wubao in their own territory, using the wealth of the Wubao to strengthen their strength.

Nowadays, the powerful people in Jizhou are in danger and are trying to find ways to avoid this military disaster.

Xu Wei went to the Zhen family and thought for a while, "I will talk to Zhang Niu and ask the marshal to let them let go of the Zhen family, but I dare not guarantee whether they can succeed or not."

Zhen An saluted and said, "Thank you so much, Qu Shuai. As long as our Zhen family survives this disaster, we will be richly rewarded!"

Xu Wei said to Old Man Wang: "This time the transportation team sets off, I will go with you!"

In order to improve productivity, Xu Wei mobilized hundreds of thousands of people throughout Wei County. People in this era were very capable and had some carpentry and mason skills.

Xu Wei asked the logging team to cut down the vines on the mountain and distribute them to the entire Wei County. As long as they made a set of vine armor and vine shields, they would be rewarded with one stone of grain.

The enthusiasm of the people throughout Wei County has greatly increased, and every household is making rattan armor.

Now Xu Wei and the others can produce 10,000 sets of rattan armor every day.

The wooden shafts and arrow shafts of other spears were also outsourced. Xu Wei and the others were only responsible for manufacturing the spear heads and arrowheads, and their manufacturing efficiency skyrocketed.

Now Weijun can produce 2,000 spears and 20,000 arrows every day.

It is precisely because Xu Hao's weapons are used to arm the Yellow Turban Army that they can win consecutive battles on the battlefield. Therefore, the prestige of Xu Wei's Yellow Turban Army is not low now. It is because the Zhen family understands this that they seek Xu Wei.

Now every day, Wei Commandery sends a transport team to deliver these weapons and equipment to the Yellow Turban Rebels, so Xu Wei and the others were on their way soon.

On the way, Xu Wei asked Old Man Wang: "Old man, do you know Commander Zhang Niujiao?"

Old Man Wang smiled and said, "I've met him a few times!"

Xu Weidao: "Can you tell me about the commander-in-chief?"

Xu Wei wanted to know Zhang Niujiao's personality.

Old man Wang smiled and said: "Dashuai Zhang was originally from Boling, Li County, Jizhou. His real name is Zhang Yan, and his courtesy name is Pinpu. He also has a small fortune in the local area. He has outstanding martial arts, loves to fight injustices, and is generous and loyal. Therefore, this local

Very prestigious.

It's a pity that there are too many noble families in Jizhou, and a family like Zhang Dashuai can't get ahead at all.

Later, the Marshal led people to sell illegal salt. Because he always carried a horn when selling illegal salt, and used it to notify his partners at any time when something happened, so everyone called him Zhang Niujiao, but forgot his real name.

.

When the Great Master was preaching in Jizhou, Marshal Zhang admired the Great Master’s ability, so he became his disciple and became his disciple.”
