Chapter 1396 Unconventional
In this world, what is the scariest animal?
There is only one answer.
people.
Whether it’s a bird or an animal, they will spit out some food after eating, or if they don’t eat some food, but when a person really opens his mouth, he swallows it all, including bones and skin.
Moreover, when people eat other foods, they often pay attention to the way of cooking and eating etiquette, but when it comes to eating people, they often abandon all the etiquette norms, leaving only the **** side.
This kind of gore has nothing to do with academics, nor has it anything to do with etiquette. The only thing that may be related is profit.
Because of this, Fei Qian was not very worried about Lu Bu. Although at this point in time, Lu Bu was recruiting soldiers and trying to get close to the two big heads of the Taiyuan gentry, the Wang family and the Wen family, but Fei Qian had no intention of stopping it at all. Because what Lu Bu can give, Fei Qian can also give, but what Fei Qian can give to the gentry in Taiyuan Shangdang, Lu Bu may not be able to give.
After all, Lu Bu had too little to take out on hand, and it was better to have a piece of cake in his hand than promise to eat ten thousand stones.
It''s like the waterwheel in front of you.
In the Shangdang area of ??Taiyuan, although there is a rare flat land among the mountains, which provides a suitable climate and soil for farming, there are more mountains around the flat land...
With the waterwheel, more cultivated fields can be reclaimed on relatively suitable mountainous land!
For the craftsmen of this era, Fei Qian sincerely admires them. Just talking about carpenters, they don’t have vernier calipers, infrared rangefinders and other instruments like later generations. Even with only an ax, they can chop, chisel, and even cut The wooden board can also be smooth and straight, which is quite powerful.
The waterwheel, under the hands of these craftsmen, is more and more like a handicraft. Some eyes even carved some auspicious patterns symbolizing a good harvest on the pillars of the waterwheel, such as grains and lanterns...
Perhaps, this is also a manifestation of Han craftsmen''s devotion to this kind of utensils that can improve people''s livelihood?
Although the structure made of wood is a bit clumsy, even though the meshing gears are reinforced with iron bars, they are still prone to rust and corrosion in a humid environment, but it doesn''t matter too much, and replacement and repair are not difficult. Moreover, the waterwheel purely used for irrigation is only important when the crops need a large amount of water for growth, and the rest of the time is idle, so it is not too much trouble to replace the accessories once a year.
There is also the inferior concrete produced in the Huang’s workshop in Pingyang that is not up to standard. It cannot be used on the wall, so the waste is used to pave the road. The quagmire-like material is almost a boon for all kinds of dirt roads.
Now, there are roads from Pingyang to Yong''an in the north, and then to Taiyuan, and there are two main commercial roads from Hedong to Shangdang in the south. The paving is almost completed, which also promotes the speed of commodity goods.
These things are all changed day by day after Fei sneaked into Zhubingzhou and mastered Taiyuan Shangdang. For farmers, these changes may just feel that the road is easy to walk and the fields are easy to plant, but for those who have some foresight For the children of the gentry, these changes are enough to attract attention.
Not to mention the water mill that caused major dietary changes.
Jia Qu pointed to the ink painting on the side and said: "In the old days, when water was taken to grind noodles, all the families of Shangdang in Taiyuan came together. Seeing the trembling at the entrance and the continuous flow at the exit, they were all dumbfounded and out of their minds. Since then, the water mill has never stopped. Stop, there is no limit to making noodles. In Huguan, no one wants to eat wheat rice, and everyone eats steamed cakes."
In the past, human or animal power grinding, output and consumption have always been a big problem that plagued the evolution of diet, but water mills can be tireless, without rest, as long as the structure is not damaged, they can grind endlessly, which greatly liberates manpower and provides With the possibility of mass production, pasta, which was originally a high-end ingredient, has gradually entered the homes of ordinary people.
"My lord, with the benefit of waterwheels, Shangdang has cultivated more than 30,000 mu of newly cultivated land..." Jia Qu said proudly, pointing to the plowed fields extending to the hillside, "Although the initial plowing has insufficient yield, it is still More than a stone can be produced..."
Fei Qian looked at the farmers who were busy preparing for spring plowing on the hillside in the distance, and nodded, affirming Jia Qu''s work.
Human beings and nature are always a question of advancing and retreating.
The woodland was cut down and turned into arable land. The birds in the forest flew away, the wild boars wandering in the forest disappeared, and the tigers and leopards hiding in the grass and bushes also escaped. As for the intelligent wolves, they traveled farther .
What?
Want to maintain soil and water?
Want to return farmland to forest?
Don’t be kidding, it’s not too late to talk about this kind of thing when the regime stabilizes and there is sufficient food production. Now is the stage when food and grass reserves are urgently needed. If you can’t do this, you should pay attention to it. How can you expand production and strengthen your strength?
If the saints who love the environment and animals go to the refugees who experience hunger and have green eyes to preach the protection of nature, don’t eat cats and dogs, and love animals and plants, I’m afraid it won’t take long for the refugees to be starved and crazy Torn to pieces?
Humans must first ensure that they can gain a foothold in nature before they can take care of other animals and plants.
The same is true for Feiqian. He must first ensure that his regime in the northwest cannot be overthrown before he can take care of other people or other affairs.
This year, the spring plowing in Shangdang and Taiyuan is a bit ahead of schedule. Although there may still be a cold spring like last year, when the war is approaching, we can only take such risks to start plowing first. After all If war really comes, I am afraid that some manpower will be transferred, so it is necessary to prepare in advance.
Fei Qian not only brought these blessings to Shangdang Taiyuan people, but also brought war and death.
Maybe it''s been a long time since he''s been in a high position, maybe it''s because he''s seen a lot of things along the way, Feiqian has gradually mixed with some Han people''s ideas about human life, and he doesn''t feel disgusted when he sees a corpse, it''s stained with blood I don''t feel uncomfortable, and even under orders, I don''t feel that there is any great psychological burden...
Back then, Fei Qian hesitated for a day and a night just to kill hundreds of Baibo thieves and wipe out all the officers and military academy commanders among those Baibo thieves who could not be regulated in a short period of time. It seems a little ridiculous.
Is it easy to kill?
Why can Montenegro be accommodated, but Baibo cannot be accommodated?
It depends on time and place.
At the beginning, what Feiqian owned was only two or three lands leased from Hedong Wangyi, and there was also a dilapidated Pingyang with less than three thousand soldiers, which would be less than five. If the leaders of Baibo had not been wiped out, Fei What ability does Qian have to ensure that these blood-stained thugs who are used to looting can obediently pick up their hoes and accept the transformation of society honestly?
In the period of Zhang Yan in Montenegro, Feiqian and Beipingyang had been stabilized, and there was land like Yinshan that urgently needed to be reclaimed by manpower to accommodate a large number of people. Therefore, he was much more tolerant of the gang in Montenegro. Even the leaders were watching In Zhao Yun''s face, waste utilization was carried out...
Having said that, can these guys really find some good things back?
Like these mountains in front of us, if sweet potatoes can be planted, it would be a perfect match!
Fei Qian and Jia Qu walked forward all the way, while inspecting the situation of spring plowing, while checking the terrain of the pass, they gradually began to care about it.
In the current situation, it’s time to take out some killer weapons. For this moment, I have been stocking up in the Huang’s workshop in Pingyang for a long time...
After all, Fei Qian didn''t want to fight Yuan Shao in a situation where the battle of Guandu would take place.
Cao Cao in history, although his strength was relatively weak at that time, but after solving the big-eared thief Liu Bei, he was able to fight against Yuan Shao without distraction.
If at that time Liu Biao, or someone else, suddenly rushed out and stabbed Cao Cao in the back, I am afraid that history would be rewritten.
Therefore, confronting Yuan Shao head-on would not yield any good results, and Fei Qian did not want to drag the whole battle to a stalemate, a desperate attrition, so he could only adopt some unconventional tactics...
………………
Pingyang City.
Inside the Government Affairs Hall.
Xun Chen picked up a pen, wrote a few words of reply on the text, and then handed it to the waiting officials, and solemnly explained: "Within seven days, it must be transported to Yinshan! Otherwise, there will be severe punishment!"
The first two batches of items have already been shipped, this is the third and last batch of materials shipped to Yinshan.
The official quickly agreed, took the writing with his hands in his hands, and left quickly, rushing to Yinshan.
The transport to Taishici, Hedong is also in place, and it must be almost assembled by now.
Regarding the arrangement of personnel and generals, Ma Yue has returned to Yinshan to assist Zhao Yun, Zhang Ji has gone to Hedong, Zhang Xiu has gone to Shangdang, and Guanzhong sent Ma Yan, Chen Gong, Chen Hao and others to the Shan County area of ??Tongguan...
The war is about to break out.
Xun Chen personally agrees with the plan that Fei Qian made with Xun Chen before his departure. After all, there is still a gap between Shanxi and Shandong. Let the Shandong gentry know the pain, even if it is a bit against benevolence, but compared to the issue of survival, it seems that it can only be put aside for the time being...
Although the Xun family is also a family of scriptures, it is not as pedantic as the Confucianism of later generations. In other words, there were still a considerable number of Confucian children in the Han Dynasty, who could still mount a knife and write a pen, like Kong Rong and Kong Ni. In the field, there are still a small number of people who are loose in everything.
It will take effect later on, after suppressing Wu Xun again and again, there will be a large number of people who say that Kong Yuecheng is benevolent and Meng Yue is righteous, and then glamorously advocates that one should have backbone and integrity, but oneself But he felt that he could not let go of his good head easily, and only a few people such as Wen Tianxiang could truly preserve their integrity. On the contrary, many Confucian disciples choose to kneel and lick when foreigners invade, and then euphemistically call them good birds and fold trees, and live in good officials to choose masters and serve.
Benevolent government loves the people, subduing people with virtue, and subjugating soldiers without fighting is wrong or wrong, but in most cases love, politics and diplomacy cannot solve all problems, and only strong force can be relied upon .
Politics and diplomacy only make sense when backed by strong military force. It''s like the later generations clamoring for green today and blue tomorrow, but even the people under their own rule are like watching a farce, and their government has no prestige at all.
As the largest institution in Shanxi''s political collective, Zhengxi General''s Mansion, the only role is to show the strongest force when facing threats!
In this aspect, Xun Chen still has confidence in Tai Shici and Zhao Yun.
Although General Zhengxi had used saddles and horseshoes before, they were still controlled within a small range. This time, in order to give full play to the strength of the powerful cavalry under Zhengxi''s command and ensure the victory of the entire strategic layout, Fei Qian and Xun Chen decided to Most of the cavalry were fully equipped with these two things.
And these two pieces of equipment are not complicated in terms of craftsmanship. Take the horseshoe as an example, it is nothing more than a bent iron sheet and a few small iron nails, and such things can ensure that the horses are greatly reduced when they are running long distances. Chance of horseshoe injury, enhance the ability to continue fighting.
Although a large-scale change of clothes will inevitably lead to a certain degree of technology leakage, but for the current Feiqian, two of the three major racecourses of the Han Dynasty have been acquired, and the remaining one is in Youzhou and Jibei. The racecourse was exhausted by Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, so now it can be said that if warhorses, a unique strategic resource, were divided into ten parts, Fei Qian controlled at least sixty to seventy percent of them.
So even if these two technologies are eventually imitated by others, it will not have much effect.
As for the Hu people other than the Han, the Xianbei in the north of the Yinshan Mountains were completely disabled, and the Southern Huns did not dare to think carefully after the second division. With the cooperation of Li Ru and Ma Chao, the Xiqiang only fled back. Less than half of them were seriously injured, and now the only Huren tribe with some strength, only Kebineng tribe and Budugen tribe, two Xianbei tribes gathered in the Youbei area of ??Daijun, Yanmen.
So Fei Qian''s cavalry advantage can still be maintained for a long time.
Only Xun Chen has no confidence, but General Zhengxi who is located in Shangdang Taiyuan...
Although I have seen General Zhengxi Feiqian practice martial arts, but I have heard that he can hit a flat spear with one move. This...well, even though General Zhengxi Feiqian does not need to go into battle most of the time, facing Yuan Shaozhong With the huge number of troops, Xun Chen inevitably felt a little uneasy.
After all, there is still a rather unstable Lu Bu...
I hope the lord doesn''t need to fight in person.
Probably not, right?
Xun Chen shook his head, picked up his pen again, lowered his head, and began to approve the administrative affairs piled up like a hill...
