Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 137

Chapter 137 Strong Development
One of the most difficult to nibble is the wild goose gate county, where the governor zhang quan colluded with the huns, its strength can not be underestimated. Zhang Chao was determined to attack him at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, and before he did this, Xinxing and Dongping had become the main targets of conquest.

Huang zhong became flat swing two county general, by country as strategist, three months should be able to solve the problem. Zhang Chao himself had indeed begun to prepare for the establishment of Zhangjiajun Academy.

Unlike the academy dominated by Cai Yong, the school built by Zhang Chao was dedicated to training military cadres, which was also the cradle of training future generals. As the dean himself, he integrated all the modern main tactics he knew into his teaching. What he needed was not only generals who could win battles, but also loyal people. This was a bit of what Huangpu had meant back then.

Bing Zhou, everything was developing in a well-organized plan. After the Battle of Wenxi, Zhang Chao seemed to fall into silence again, and gradually began to fade out of everyone’s sight.

Compared to Zhang Chao’s sudden silence, the entire big fellow world was indeed falling into chaos in the flames of war.

After Cao Cao took Han Xiandi to Chen Liu and was named Gun Zhou Mu, the various places became autonomous. From west to east are respectively Liangzhou Ma Teng self-led Liangzhou Mu; Yongzhou dong zhuo led yongzhou animal husbandry; Liu Yanling profit animal husbandry; Liu table led jingzhou animal husbandry; Tao Qian led Xuzhou Mu; Shi Xie led to pay state animal husbandry; Sun Jian territory Yangzhou animal husbandry; Cao cao led Gun Zhou Mu; Yuan Shao territory Jizhou animal husbandry; Liu Yu led You Zhou Mu; Zhang Chao led Bingzhou City Mu; Kong Ling Yu Zhou Mu; Tian Kai led the Qingzhou Mu.

At this point, the thirteen prefectures of the Eastern Han Dynasty had their own masters. Apart from the imperial clans, other prefectures had their own herdsmen or secretaries.

December 192.

The weather in Bingzhou City is already so cold that you need to wear winter clothes to survive. Most of the people on the streets were hiding at home, except for those who had to go out when they had something to do.

Relatively speaking, the Shepherd’s Mansion was indeed bustling with activity. One brazier after another, in the meeting hall where the business was discussed, so that anyone who entered would have to take off their clothes before they could stay.

The development time given by Zhang Chao to the various ministries. These people were all rushing back from all over to report on the results of the battle. At the same time, they were also receiving new missions.

In addition to marotta, xu rong keep hedong; Cao Shu and Coppage guarded the kettle, while the other major generals and senior counselors rushed back.

Looking at the counselor general under his command, Zhang Chao’s heart carried a trace of pride and excitement. When they first arrived at Bing Zhou, the heavens would take care of them and reap a good harvest of grain. As most of them were newly cultivated fertile land, the land was very fertile, and the output was also very good. With enough food, what Zhang Chao wanted was to completely stabilize the position of Bing Zhou Mu.

At the beginning of the meeting, Lu Su, who was in charge of internal affairs, first reported on the situation in Bing Prefecture’s treasury.

Lu Su also had an excited expression as he announced the good harvest of agriculture this year. According to what he said, apart from leaving behind the grain for their own use, the people had handed over 300,000 stones of grain.

According to an adult eating a jin of food a day, as soldiers, because of the intensity of training, more than them, a month according to a stone (50 jin), a year is 12 stones.

Ten thousand soldiers a year is twelve thousand stones. Three hundred thousand stones of grain was enough to feed two hundred and fifty thousand soldiers for a year.

Of course, these rations could not be used entirely for the army. They could also be used to brew heroic drunkenness and other needs. However, even after deducting all sorts of miscellaneous requirements, the remaining 200,000 soldiers were still sufficient to support them.

When Lu Su first reported the figures to Zhang Chao, he was also happy for a long time. Back then, when Chen Liu was here, he would encourage the people to farm every year, but because there were too many people there, the Prefecture Governor’s Manor could only collect 20,000 stones of grain a year, so it was not enough to feed the soldiers. However, in Bingzhou City, this number had indeed increased fifteen times. In this way, the biggest problem of survival, grain, would be solved. In this way, both foreign war and internal defense would be sufficient.

Lu Su’s face was filled with joy as he reported on other situations. For example, the medical school led by Hua Tuo had graduated 300 military doctors in half a year. These people had been assigned to various armies, and they would play a positive role in reducing casualties on the battlefield when the war started in the future. In the past six months, the number of pregnant women in Jin Yang City alone had reached more than 3,000. In other words, in the coming year, Yu Shao would have more than 3,000 children born. After more than ten years, this would be a very powerful force on the battlefield.

It was said before that the population of the whole country was 60 million at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but by the end of the Three Kingdoms, the population of the whole country was 5.6 million. This huge gap could already explain a lot of problems. Although there were plagues among them, most of them were due to the chaos of war, which led to people living in poverty, the smell of Vermillion Gate wine and meat, and the freezing of bones on the road.

When he couldn’t even support himself, who would have the leisure to give birth and think about other issues?

Zhang Chao did not want the tragedy of history to repeat itself, so he began to pay attention to population development very early. People-oriented, encourage production, reward, this is the corresponding measure. Now it seems that this move has played a positive role.

After Lu Su reported on the internal affairs, the chief strategist country will be the current situation of the army and other forces outside the basic situation was introduced.

After half a year of development, Zhang Chao Group’s army grew stronger in a few months of peace. From 27,500 Class A soldiers at the end of July to 58,000 now.

Apart from the five thousand (two thousand cavalry, three thousand infantry) of the Huguan garrison and the Hedong garrison (two thousand cavalry, three thousand infantry), there were forty-eight thousand mobile troops that could be used in foreign warfare. They were 30,000 infantry from the 1st legion. Pioneer army cavalry eight thousand; Dragon Tiger Army cavalry five thousand; Zhangjiajun Qingqi three thousand, heavy cavalry two thousand and fell into the camp five hundred people.

What was worth mentioning was the last camp to fall into.

Just yesterday, after the generals returned to Jin Yang City, they conducted a unique military exercise in the square of the barracks. What he displayed was the infantry of the 500 Depression Camp against the 31st legion.

Although some of the 30,000 infantry soldiers had never really been on the battlefield, Taishi Ci, as the commander general, had always followed Zhang Chao’s request and started training from actual combat. No matter how one looked at it, there was no possibility of failure at the ratio of six to one.

Everyone held wooden sticks to replace the weapons in their hands as they fought. Unexpectedly, in the end, the three thousand infantry were defeated by the soldiers who had fallen into the camp.

The elite soldiers didn’t win six versus one. This was still under the premise that the fallen soldiers didn’t use their full set of equipment. If it was really a real battle, then the result could be imagined that the results of the battle would continue to expand. This battle, seibel received the real respect of everyone, trapped camp also jumped into zhang chao group army elite power.

With this, Gao Shun also participated in the high-level meeting led by Zhang Chao, proving that its status had been fully recognized.

After Guo Jia finished talking about the army, His originally happy expression suddenly changed. Then, there was a trace of pain in his voice. “Five days ago, the huns sent people to send news, said they know about our Bingzhou City grain harvest, in line with everyone is a friendly neighbor, good to meet in half, they need one hundred and fifty thousand stones of grain, and give us half a month to prepare, send over, otherwise, they will have their own way to plunder.”

After saying that the huns, country and said: “the day before yesterday, the Heavenly Eyes sent news, said that there is something strange in the Montenegrin army, it is likely that they will also take action.”

“Bastard.” Country words haven’t finished, vanguard army general lyu3 bu4 has stood up with a face of anger, “what the heck of the huns, what the montenegro army, what do they think we are? Fattened lamb? When you want to eat when you want to eat? Wait for my day painting halberd a wave, its dog life is necessary.”

“Under your seat.” While Lu Bu was still venting his dissatisfaction, a cold voice splashed down like water in front of his head.

Originally, Lyu bu wanted to retort. As the number one general, his temper was also not small. But when he saw that it was actually Zhang Chao speaking, his originally open mouth immediately shut.

Lyu3 bu4 who is not afraid, is a while ago when general hedong, marotta also want to let him three points, but only he is afraid of zhang chao. Putting aside the fact that he and Diao Chan still needed someone to decide, if Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Huang Wei, and Xu Chu joined forces in this room, he would probably be captured in thirty rounds.

Zhang Chao suppressed Lu Bu and sat back down. After that, he slowly turned his gaze to Zhang Liao and Gao Shun and said, “Wen Yuan, Bo Ping. When you were in Bing Zhou in the past, did the Xiongnu treat Ding Yuan and Ding Qi like this?”

After zhang liao surrendered to zhang chao, has been responsible for cooperating with Taishi Ci to train the new army, can be said to have not been built up until now. He was flattered to be called to such a high-level meeting this time, but now he was asked again, and immediately stood up and said, “Reporting to master, this has never happened in the past.” When Ding Qi was in office, the farmland was mostly barren, it was impossible to have such a harvest, and because of its cowardice, often the huns would not speak, directly snatch it. When Ding Yuan was governor, he fought a few battles with the huns for food, but there was no progress. Instead, he lost more and won less. ”

Saying these words, zhang liao heart is also feeling.

Ever since Zhang Chao arrived at Jin Yang City, he had seen everything he had done.

In less than half a year, the security in the city was good, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the people’s livelihood had developed rapidly. Now even the always arrogant xiongnu is to be the first. Everything that happened was attributed to a single sentence.

Gao Shun nodded in agreement, indicating that zhang liao said is true.
