July of the fourth year of the Han Dynasty (AD 193)
Qingzhou Pingyuan City, Yellow River Ferry
This is where Xu Wei and Cao Cao agreed to exchange prisoners of war! Xu Wei came here with a battalion of 5,000 soldiers, as well as 100,000 pieces of woolen cloth for the transaction!
Cao Cao's fleet brought prisoners of the Yellow Turban Army.
The envoy was Cheng Yu from last time, and behind him were 3,000 prisoners of war!
He came to Xu Wei and saluted and said: "Thunder Lord is in power, and the transaction is divided into 10 batches. We will release 3,000 prisoners in exchange for 10,000 woolen cloths!"
"Let's start!" Xu Wei waved his hand and said.
"Okay!" Cheng Yu also waved to the soldiers in the rear, and 3,000 prisoners of war from the Yellow Turban Army began to walk towards Xu Wei. At the same time, Cheng Yu and his soldiers continued to carry woolen cloth!
The movements of both parties are orderly and do not disturb each other!
Soon all the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army came to Xu Wei's side, and Xu Wei prepared 100,000 pieces of woolen cloth, which were all loaded onto the ship by Cheng Yu and his men, and transported away!
"Qu Shuai, I let you down!" At this time, a man wearing prison clothes saw Xu Wei kneeling in front of Xu Wei and crying!
Xu Wei helped the man up and saw clearly that this was Bao Xin of the Tengjia Army. He was the first batch of people to support the Yellow Turban Army!
Xu Wei patted Bao Xin's body and said: "You can persist for so long surrounded by big men. You will be fine in the future. Now that you are home, you can have a good rest!"
Then the men sent by Gotojia Army came to Xu Wei one by one. After being captured by Cao Cao, they all thought that they would be killed by Cao Cao, but they did not expect that they would be rescued by Commander Qu and returned to Jizhou. Such a life and death situation,
Made many people cry!
Xu Wei also sighed with emotion. At first, he supported more than 200 Yudu soldiers, but now there are only a few dozen alive, and the death rate exceeds 70%! It is not easy for everyone alive.
Xu Wei waited for them to finish venting and said: "You should take good care of yourself in Pingyuan County first. Whether you want to work or farm in the future, I will make arrangements for you!"
Bao Xin said angrily: "Commander Qu, Cao Cao killed many of our companions, I want revenge!"
Others also said angrily: "We want revenge!"
Xu Wei said helplessly: "Okay, you just stay in Pingyuan County, and I will also arrange for your subordinates to farm in Pingyuan County. When we attack Cao Cao, you will be the vanguard army!"
Then Xu Wei stayed in Pingyuan County and tried to find a way to resettle Bao Xin and others. After all, there were more than 30,000 people, and it was not easy to resettle them. Those who did not want to fight anymore, Xu Wei divided them into fields and allowed them to live as ordinary people.
If you want revenge, recruit them into the army. When they attack Cao Cao, they will be the vanguard!
At this time, Zhang Baiqi also found Xu Weihui and reported: "In power, Yanzhou and Sili have been flooded with disaster-stricken people. Now there are more than 50,000 people, and the number is still increasing. Do we want to stop them?"
Did they enter Jizhou?
Xu Wei smiled and said: "Don't you dislike Jizhou's small population, but now that people are coming, you have to drive them away again?"
Zhang Baiqi smiled bitterly and said: "Now that Jizhou can't even support itself, it can still support so many victims!"
Xu Weidao: "First resettle them in a centralized manner, then take them to Tianjin County in Youzhou, and then take the sea route to Liaodong. Now that Liaodong is being developed and there is a lack of population, these disaster victims have come just in time!"
However, tens of thousands of people are still affordable for the current Daqian! These victims can be used to enrich the four counties of Liaodong, and they can also reduce the number of people in the Han Dynasty! After all, the final battle in the war is population. Obviously Yuan Shao still has Didn't realize this.
Xu Wei stayed in Pingyuan County for half a month, and a lot of news came from Qingzhou, Yanzhou Sili and other places.
He found that Cao Cao actually created the government army system under his own pressure. He allocated land to the soldiers in advance and was even more generous than him. He only allocated 30 acres of land in Jizhou, but Cao Cao's soldiers were allocated 100 acres. Land, Xu Wei knew that in the future, Da Gan’s method of dividing land would not work for the Qingzhou Army, and they might even hate Da Gan, because according to Da Gan’s system, not only would 70 acres of land be taken away, but they would also have to bear the burden of 3 Narita tax! This alone is enough for the people and officials of Qingzhou to work hard.
Moreover, the wealthy nobles in Qingzhou seemed to be working hard. They no longer talked about mysteries, but worked hard to train soldiers. Kong Rong, a great scholar of the generation, actually became a general. This was simply beyond Xu Wei's imagination. It's hard for Wei to imagine what Kong Rong looks like with all his muscles!
And Yuan Shao is not idle in Luoyang City. He is stronger than Cao Cao, and the location of Luoyang City is better than Qingzhou. Although Luoyang City and Chang'an City do not have terrain where one man can guard the gate and ten thousand men can't open it, they each have eight levels of defense. , a terrain with Hangu Pass that is no more dangerous than Cao Cao with a flat plain, it is very difficult to resist!
Therefore, the pressure on him is slightly reduced. In addition, most of his subordinates are members of the noble families. It can even be said that Yuan Shao's power is the union of the noble families! Naturally, it is impossible for him to use the method of equalizing the land, even if he Yuan Shao The family is the largest landowner in Runan, and if the land is really equalized, then he will give his own land to the equalizer. In this world, it has always been easy to change someone else's life, but it is difficult to change one's own life. Yuan Shao naturally cannot divide his own family's land. Got it!
Of course, in the face of pressure from Da Qian, it was not that he did nothing. The military system of the Eastern Han Dynasty's small government with tens of thousands of people guarding the world was obviously no longer sufficient for this era. Yuan Shao and his counselors, combined with the system left by Dong Zhuo, A military system has been formulated that suits the situation of the commander-in-chief!
Soldiers recruit honest farmers from remote villages, and even the corps commanders are basically the children of noble families. After all, every noble family in the Han Dynasty has many children. Even Yuan Shao has many down-and-out relatives. Now Yuan Shao has this method Just let your down-and-out relatives take charge of these low-level positions so that they can control the army and not be easily bribed by the big officials!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The official positions of team leaders, village commanders, and military princes are the children of powerful gentry, imperial students, disciples and former officials of various clans, and the final military commanders and above The senior official positions were held by the core children of the noble families.
In this way, Yuan Shao controlled the entire army from the bottom up through his relationships with his fellow villagers, classmates, disciples, relatives and friends. At the same time, he took advantage of the power of Taixue and had many scholars. He let these scholars join the army and followed the Confucian Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules. The etiquette, the hierarchical system of superiority and inferiority, and the rural concept of community unity maintained the officers and soldiers, making Yuan Shao's army an army that effectively maintained feudal rule.
Xu Wei couldn't help but smile after reading Yuan Shao's military reforms. This is not a replica of the Hunan Army, but this system is not as effective as Cao Cao's Qingzhou Army. The people of the Han Dynasty are not easy to cheat. He has to provide 30 acres of land to make it. Daqian's warriors were so powerful that Cao Cao had to use 100 acres of land to make the Qingzhou army determined to defend their homeland!
But now Yuan Shao is reluctant to give up the land and thinks of using brainwashing methods to improve the army's combat. Without real use, it will be useless even if you invite Confucius to study the Analects of Confucius!
Seeing Yuan Shao's actions, Xu Wei decided to use Yuan Shao's territory to break through in the next battle.
Of course, this was not the time to start a war. Xu Wei took advantage of the drought in the Central Plains and continued to move the victims from the Central Plains to Liaodong.
July, the midsummer month, is the season when food is most abundant in Liaodong. The tribal people on the land of Liaodong and the savages in the mountains have begun to take advantage of this good time to collect supplies for the winter.
This year, they have a new place to go, that is, to help the Han people in their territory. Not only can they have enough to eat, but they can also get some food. Such a good thing has caused tribes and savages from around Liaodong to come to Liaodong for settlement. Looking for work on the territory, nearly 100,000 savages poured into the four counties of Liaodong.
For the officials of the four counties in Liaodong, these wild people are as strong as cattle, eat less, and do more. They are a better labor force than large animals. These people have brought a large amount of labor to Liaodong, and also brought Vitality, these are probably the first batch of wild workers in Liaodong!
At this time, a group of thousands of Daqian immigrants were curiously walking on the official road in Liaodong! They were the victims from the Central Plains. After more than a month of migration, they arrived in Liaodong.
At this time, an officer on horseback was slightly jealous of these immigrants and said: "We have built simple houses for you. You can start to clear up wasteland when you come to the settlement area. We did not have such good treatment at the beginning, so you are enjoying it." , the ruling party helped you with a loan of 3 billion, and helped you purchase a large number of cattle and horses. Each settlement can be allocated hundreds of such large animals. You are very lucky! Although it is a bit late now, but still You can plant some vegetables, wait until after October, and then plant winter wheat, so that you can harvest a batch of grain in half a year!"
The 3 billion Liaodong Development Bond allows each immigrant to receive tens of thousands of dollars of resources. Naturally, the treatment of these immigrants has improved so much compared to before, so much so that the first batch of immigrants were a little jealous.
After hearing this, the immigrants felt happy. For farmers, there is no better gift than big animals.
"My lord, is our land good? The ruler said that the land in Liaodong is so fertile that you can harvest three stones of grain no matter what you plant. You don't even need to leave it fallow!" asked a strong man who was sad in the middle of the year. .
For farmers in China, land is the most precious thing. At this time, the people who immigrated to Liaodong basically wanted these hundreds of acres of land. If they could really produce three stones per mu as Xu Wei said, this would already be It is comparable to the small landowning families in the Han Dynasty.
Just for such a piece of land, many farmers who have never left their hometown are willing to take the risk and come to such a wild land!
The officer smiled awkwardly and said: "The newly reclaimed land will take some time to grow, but once the water conservancy facilities and fertilizers catch up, three stones will not be a problem!"
This is Xu Wei's fault. He thought that black soil existed in the entire three eastern provinces, but in fact, the black soil in China was mainly concentrated in the Songliao River Basin, with a total area of 10 million hectares. And Liaodong, which is now being developed by Daqian, has just been It avoids the scope of black soil. Only in Gaoxian County can you barely see a little black soil.
If Xu Weizhen wants to make the immigrants really want black soil, he also has to find a way to destroy the Buyeo Kingdom. It happens that the scope of the black soil is within the territory of Buyeo Kingdom. It's a pity that they basically don't farm, but make a living by fishing, raising cattle and sheep, and making a living in vain. What a waste of such a treasure.
The immigrants felt something was wrong, but now that they have arrived in Liaodong, can they still turn around and go back? Now it seems that they can only go one way!
As the immigrants walked forward, they came across countless dense grass and lush woods. There was no trace of civilization at all in such a place. This made the immigrants more and more worried. Are they really going to a wilderness?
After walking for a long time, we finally came to a small plain area. We could see facilities such as forts, roads, waterwheels, and canals. There were even many people busy building roads. This scene made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. At least there are some signs of civilization, they are not going to a barbaric land.
"Scholar, the loyal scholar, the people under your rule are here, why don't you come and receive them quickly!" the officer shouted.
Seeing thousands of people coming, Xi Zhong dropped the shovel in his hand and said: "Everyone welcomes the new friends, celebrate tonight, and continue building roads tomorrow!"
That's right, it was Xi Zhicai who took refuge in Xu Wei. After Guo Jia left, Guo Jia continued to travel around Xu Wei's territory. Xi Zhicai entered the political system of Daqian in the name of his teacher. He first seized power to teach the teacher. In his name, he became the village chief in Jizhou, and with his talent, he made the village prosperous in less than half a year.
At this time, Xu Wei promoted the large-scale development of Liaodong. As long as cadres who went to Liaodong could be promoted to a higher level, Xi Zhicai learned about it and signed up to join the border aid cadres.
As soon as he arrived here, he became the head of the township in charge of thousands of people. Then he led the immigrants to reclaim the wasteland, build forts, roads, water conservancy facilities, and even tried to recruit the surrounding savages to help him in his work.
In this way, Xi Zhicai led the immigrants to struggle for half a year, and finally established a small town in the wild land of Liaodong that was not inferior to Guan Nei! This town of Xi Zhicai with a radius of hundreds of miles became the local economic center.
And he did so well that even among the hundreds of Wubao, there was basically no one who was better than Xi Zhicai, so everyone around him admired Xi Zhicai's ability, and he had a high prestige in the local area.
Everyone cheered when they heard Xi Zhicai's words and could rest for a while.
Then they followed Xi Zhong and welcomed the new immigrants into the simple wooden fort they built! Xi Zhong and others welcomed the new immigrants into the wooden fort!
Although the wooden castle is not big, the facilities inside are very complete. There are many medical clinics, blacksmith shops, private schools, and even a tavern! The houses inside are neatly erected in rows in the wooden castle.
Among them, it looks like a wealthy town! It is because of this complete facilities that Xi Zhicai has such great prestige in Liaodong. Even Liu Hu, the governor of Liaodong, has heard of Xi Zhicai's reputation!
Such an environment finally made the newly arrived immigrants breathe a sigh of relief. Although the environment here is not as good as in the customs, it is better than they imagined!
Then Xi Zhong commanded his men to place the new immigrants in their houses.
Xu Wei raised 3 billion in funds, and the treatment of these immigrants was improved. Not only did they have houses to live in once they arrived, they even had simple furniture, half a year's rations, various iron farm tools, and even every ten households received
Paired with a cow and horse to clear up wasteland, it can be said that it is extremely considerate for the immigrants who came to Liaodong!
At this time, Xi Zhong went to the officer and said: "Deng Fang, try to get some savages to come over. I have too many things to do here and too few manpower!"
Deng Fang laughed and said: "The people you manage now are almost the same as those of a small county, but you still dislike the small number of people!"
