Chapter 851: False Shock?
"The counties have continued to report on the people's situation, and the general concern is the problem of employment and overproduction."
Sitting across from Fanxian was the co-lieutenant, and the two had known each other eight years ago, and because they had not had much contact, they could only be regarded as friends rather than deep friends. Now one is the county guard and the other is the commander of the Zhonglang General's corps, Fanxian was appointed as the county guard of Neishi County a month ago, but the lieutenant first recruited troops in Longxi County and then led the army to Neishi County to station.
In fact, there are two regiments led by the lieutenant, the seventh mixed regiment is formed by the first batch of Han troops to enter Qin, and the other is recruited in Longxi, and the recruits have a soldier with superb horseback riding skills, and then there is no shortage of horses in Longxi, and it is very smooth to form a cavalry corps of the scale.
The framework of the cavalry corps was formed, and the cavalry was also formed, but the center did not give this unit an official name.
What do you mean? It is the scale of the cavalry corps that the lieutenant has worked hard to assemble, and some things such as horses and knights have been prepared, and even the grass-roots officers at the level of captain, chief, team leader, and tun commander have been appointed and put in place, but the center has not appointed other divisions, military marquis, captains, generals, partial generals, and lieutenant generals, not to mention the necessary military judges, scout officers, intelligence officers, headmasters, and long histories in a corps, and even stirrups and saddles have not been configured, and weapons and armor seem to have been forgotten. As a result, the lieutenants had both men and horses ready, but they were not able to get appointments and equipment from the central for middle and high ranks.
The communist sent a letter of inquiry to the center, and the explanation was that the fighting situation at the front was tense and there were logistical problems, and in order to ensure the combat materials of the various regiments on the front, the supplies given to the newly formed cavalry corps without official numbers would be delayed.
Well, as long as the Central Council acknowledges the existence of the formation of a legion, the co-lieutenant will not work in vain. It's not the central suspicion or something that I imagined in my heart, then everything is fine. In addition, the front-line war is indeed a little tense, and before the outbreak of the war, it is necessary to ensure the preparation materials of the front-line corps.
It was probably just before February that the lieutenant finally received an order to transfer, saying that the troops were planned as a reserve for the Western Expeditionary Corps, in case the war did not go well with Meng Tian as reinforcements. This time, the troops came to Neishi County from Longxi County, in fact, to receive supplies on the edge of Weishui. That is, to receive some supplies, and the other is to welcome a group of officers from Nanling.
The officers from Nanling are a group of talents urgently needed by the lieutenants, and those officers are all meritorious service in various units, or have been recommended to enter the imperial military academies for further study, most of them have rich practical combat experience, and then after the training of the academies, such an officer is actually the people who want to break the heads of all regiments.
With a number of middle and high-level officers sent by the center, of course, the number was officially issued, and the cavalry corps formed by Longxi recruits was determined to be the twentieth cavalry corps. The commander of the corps was not appointed, and the strange thing is that at the same time as the central center appointed the lieutenant of the northwest, Sima Xin also sent an appointment, and the lieutenant not only became the lieutenant of the northwest of the three counties of Neishi County, Shang County, and Beidi County. He also became the rear general of the Grassland Dispatch Army.
Getting a series of appointments made the lieutenant actually a little confused, he had been in Longxi County for a long time, and in fact, he was a little out of touch with the national political ~ bureau and the recent events, and he felt that he couldn't find someone who understood the situation in the clouds and couldn't ask.
Behind. It turned out that Meng Tian sent a request to Sima Xin before the official launch of the battle, and Sima Xin ordered the communist lieutenant to lead the army north.
So is it regarded as Meng Tian who is actually not sure to use the four legions to achieve the combat goal? The lieutenant definitely didn't think in this direction. Gongwei was a relative understanding of Meng Tian in the old Han army group, and knew very well that Meng Tian had been preparing for at least ten years to fight the Xiongnu in order to go north.
Yes, before the Qin State eliminated the Six Kingdoms and unified the world, Meng Tian was really already studying the Xiongnu, at that time the Mengshi family was fighting with the Wang family for control of the northern frontier of the Qin State, and the Mengshi studied the Xiongnu perhaps in order to get more points on the side of the First Emperor, so as to gain more recognition from the First Emperor in the competition with the Wang family, but in any case, the Mengshi really studied the Xiongnu.
As the patriarch of the Mengshi clan, Meng Tian is right to think about the interests of the Mengshi, this historical version of the world turmoil happened too early, he did not have enough space and did not have the opportunity to lead the Qin army to launch the battle of Hetao against the Xiongnu, but it does not mean that all his previous efforts have been forgotten.
The lieutenant had just walked to the boundary of Neishi County after receiving the order to move north, and the news of Touman's defeat and surrender had already come from the front, and he still had feelings such as "General Meng can be regarded as a sword sharpening in ten years", thinking that Meng Tian's previous arrangement was just to ensure that it would happen.
The news of Meng Tian's victory was accurate, so the troops led by the communist lieutenant naturally did not need to continue northward, and then Sima Xin changed the order given before, and instead let the communist lieutenant lead the army into Neishi County.
Suddenly got an order to let him be stationed in Neishi County, and the lieutenant was actually very helpless in his heart at that moment. Many people, including Gongwei, they were used as a barrier to the north during the period when Lu Zhe just rose, and it could once be said that Lu Zhe was the most capable of fighting and organizing defense under Lu Zhe, about three years ago, Gongwei led the army into Qin, and at that time it was originally to cooperate with the Qin army to defend against the invasion of the Xiongnu and other Hu people, but the Xiongnu only tentatively attacked three or two times before retreating, and almost did not get the opportunity to play.
Well, it's been silent for a long time, and if you don't move anymore, it is estimated that many people will forget their existence, so many soldiers who have been idle in Qindi for three or two years are also gearing up to do a big job. Many generals and colonels who didn't know Meng Tian so well, they even thought that their unit would shine like a savior when Meng Tian's expedition to the west was the most unfavorable, and the lieutenant just smiled and said nothing when he heard this kind of remarks.
Since he was stationed in Neishi County, a period of time has passed, since he does not have to go to the front line to participate in the war, the communist lieutenant is not completely idle, in addition to the two legions in his hands, he often walks among the people, and has his own understanding of the problems that Fanxian said.
"Indeed, before he marched north, the king also drew up a plan in the Yangtze River valley and south of it, which was called the 'wartime asymmetric economy.' I don't understand the general meaning, but I just know whether it is a kind of consumption or something that is the behavior of the state, and in a short period of time, I use the procurement of the behavior of the state to stimulate the enthusiasm of the people for construction. ”
"Hmm......"
In fact, the situation on the Qin side is not special at all, and it is a bit similar to the problems that have occurred in those areas that have been included in the scope of rule early, but the Qin side is relatively complicated, and the complexity is complicated in the Qin land is not a military annexation by the Han army, but a kind of merger accepted by the Zhao family.
The people of Qin are generally in a trance, psychologically they do not understand who their ruler is, and while enjoying the employment and procurement ordered by Lu Zhe, they are worried that they will be settled by the Zhao family surnamed Ying. This is one of them. The second is that during the reign of the Zhao family, most of the young and strong people in Qin were conscripted, and the taxes were so heavy that they couldn't breathe, and they enjoyed the benefits brought by Lu Zhe, and they inevitably hoped that Lu Zhe would become their ruler, so there was a strange psychological burden of betrayal.
"The official document has been officially posted, and a large number of people have been sent to publicize it." Fan Xian glanced at the Gongwei strangely, and felt that the Gongwei had been in Neishi County for at least a month. You should know about that, right?
Of course, the lieutenant knew that, and he had something else to say.
Qin Di was officially incorporated into the imperial territory ruled by Lu Zhe, so the psychological awkwardness was gone, and the people of Qin gradually became accustomed to the benefits brought by state behavior. And just when people are getting used to it, the war somewhere that has been fought on the front line for nearly two years is over...... It's over?
People have brains, and they know very well that when the war on the front line is over, then the employment of manpower and the procurement of materials will not stop even all at once. However, there will always be a decrease in numbers, and it is natural to wonder if there is going to be a change in the life that has just changed.
Fan Xian thought about it and kept nodding: "Yes, yes." When I was a county magistrate at the Huiji, I personally carried out similar administrative instructions. The characteristics of Huiji are iron smelting and weapon production, and for this reason, he also made several trips to Nanling to win orders from the military for the production of weapons on the side of Huiji. ”
"Then the lieutenant won't say more." Gongwei saw that Fanxian had turned a corner, and as a martial artist, he didn't want to get too involved in local government affairs.
In fact, it is quite a simple matter, the head of the Qiandi of Qin is worried about the cessation of national consumption, so Fanxian, as the county guard, wants to solve the problem of only maintaining the employment of manpower and the procurement of materials.
The empire wants to expand a big city on the edge of the water with the old scale of Zhiyang, this matter is actually a construction project that requires the employment of a large number of laborers, and at the same time, because of the employment of a large number of laborers, there are always a large number of people who need to buy some ingredients in large quantities, right? Then Qindi's early expansion of grain production will not reduce the amount of purchases.
Gongwei thought of something and asked, "Chang'an is a city without walls, right?" ”
Fan Xian paused from his own thoughts, knowing why the lieutenant asked this, and the center did not order secrecy, so he simply replied: "Yes, not only Chang'an, but also the newly built cities in the future will no longer build city walls, and the old cities will also be demolished year by year according to the plan." ”
I vaguely remember that the First Emperor also had a relevant policy and ordered the city walls of the whole country to be demolished, not only the walls of each city should be demolished, but all the mountain passes and dangerous passes should also be removed for defense.
In the original history, the orders issued by the First Emperor were faithfully executed, and the walls of various parts of the world were demolished one after another, and the passes everywhere no longer existed...... Or the Qin State under the rule of Qin II, which was a little too late, did not even repair the Hangu Pass, and a large-scale battle was being fought on the Julu side, and Liu Bang, a strange army that no one paid attention to, broke directly to Xianyang.
At that time, because Xianyang had no city defense facilities, and the Qin army was almost on the front line, Zhao Gao destroyed it in Xianyang.
Gongwei is a governor who has been a military and political power, and he will not think purely from the perspective of government affairs or military affairs, he also discussed with Lu Zhe a long time ago, and probably understood that after the old countries disappeared, China itself was owned by the empire ruled by the Lu clan, and Lu Zhe's starting point should be similar to that of the first emperor?
Lu Zhe's idea is definitely not the same as that of the First Emperor, who did not allow the cities of the world to have city walls, that is, he believed that the Qin army was invincible and attacked, and at the same time, he did not want the cities in the world to have walls to defend and resist the Qin army in repeated turmoil. In addition, the first emperor's thought was that the world was unified, and the internal threat no longer existed, and the threat would come from the outside, such as the Xiongnu or Baiyue, and the national policy had been arranged to implement the strategy of internal and external importance.
The first emperor's internal and external emphasis was not on the governance of civil affairs, in fact, the arrangement of the army was mainly to stick to the frontier, and only some county soldiers to maintain law and order were left inside. The army Chen soldiers are defending or expanding the territory on the frontier, and they feel that there is no longer a threat in the country, and they don't know what makes the first emperor so confident?
What is a county soldier? To put it mildly, it is a temporary soldier when serving in conscription, and the Qin State generally does not treat the county soldiers as strictly as the field group, so it does not care so much about weapons and equipment or drills.
History has proved the mistake of the First Emperor, but the First Emperor is not ridiculous to be light on the inside and outside, but such a thing is not absurd, and it can even be said to be a thing that is beneficial to the development of the living space of the ethnic group.
Since the Qin generation, all emperors regard the interior as the biggest threat, not to mention the frontier to expand the territory, it is not bad not to be robbed by foreign races like a back garden.
"I wonder if the city defense facilities in various passes are not in the plan to be demolished?" Gongwei obviously asked the wrong person, although Fanxian is the county guard of a county, but Fanxian is only a county guard, and he is not the core of the imperial center, where would he know so much.
The co-lieutenant was worried about something, just like many of the courtiers of the First Emperor had done.
The empire is being established, but Lu Zhe's internal methods are gentle and too merciful, the old countries are all gone, but because of the gentle means and the benevolence that keeps the promise and does not kill indiscriminately, the royal family is still alive and well......
"Need to find a chance to ......, no! It is necessary to understand the writing of letters! The lieutenant felt compelled to report his fears. (To be continued......)
