Kingdom of Heaven and Han
Chapter 538
Chapter 538
Fort Shibi is located in the north of Shenshan County, beside the Shibi River, and strangles the road leading to Fucheng Walled City in the east.From Jinzhou to Shenshan County, you can go to the Laohe River Valley in the south, and of course you can also take a detour to Shibibao.
Arriving outside the fort, Wang Zhongfu looked at the broken walls and ruins in front of him, and there was no one around, so he couldn't help frowning.After a while, he said: "Zhao Fu said that this is an important place in Shenshan County, why is it like this? There is not even a single person!"
Shu Jiming said: "After years of wars, households have fled. This is not the case! I think there should be some people left nearby. Let's look for it and make it more lively. The main thing is to rely on ourselves."
With that said, he walked towards the fort.
When I entered the fort, I saw that most of the houses on both sides had collapsed, and the road was covered with weeds.After walking not far, when we reached the fort hall, we saw a door had fallen to the ground.Inside, the two wild boars graze leisurely and are not afraid of people coming.
"Zhiniang thief, this place has become the residence of this beast!"
Shu Jiming was furious.Draw out the bow, bend the bow and set an arrow, and shoot down a wild boar with one arrow.Another wild boar raised its head strangely, looking at the group of people outside.It has been quiet here for a few days, where did these people come from?
Another arrow shot down the rest of the wild boar.Shu Jiming said: "Go in and clean up these two animals, and eat meat tonight! Everyone clean up, stay here tonight, and think of a way to do things tomorrow!"
The soldiers promised and rushed in to clean up the two wild boars.
After walking around the fort hall, Wang Zhongfu said to Shu Jiming, "There will be no people living here for many days, and everything needs to be cleaned up. Let's stay here today and clean up tomorrow."
Shu Jiming agreed.Order the soldiers to camp in the hall, and start cleaning up the fort hall tomorrow.
After everything was arranged properly, Wang Zhongfu and Shu Jiming left the castle hall and went to a nearby hill.
Shibibao was built on a hillside, with moats on all sides, and the terrain is dangerous.It's just been abandoned for a few years, and the water in the moat has already dried up, leaving only a few puddles.The Shibi River flows next to it, and the water is turbulent.
There are continuous hills in this area, and Fort Shibi is the main road, which is an important place in the north of Shenshan County.
The castle village is the military system of the Song Dynasty, and the official army is stationed there.The fort is smaller than the city, and the fort is smaller than the fort, occupying the main road, defending the place in the frontier area, and mostly serving as the patrol station in the interior.For example, Hua Rong in "Water Margin" is the master of Qingfengzhai, and should be a small officer of the inspectors in the Song Dynasty.The big one takes two hundred steps a week, and the small one takes a hundred steps a week, which is equivalent to a village.
Because of their excellent grades, Wang Zhongfu and Shu Jiming graduated from the military academy in half a year and became junior officers.Now Shu Jiming is the head of the capital, and Wang Zhongfu is the military envoy. They came to Hedong Road and were sent to garrison Shibibao.
After looking at it for a while, Wang Zhongfu said: "The wasteland that can be reclaimed in the surrounding river valleys is less than a thousand acres, and it can't feed many people. If our soldiers are replenished, we can barely eat enough food."
Shu Jiming said: "Military envoy, this place is not comparable to your hometown, which is fertile and thousands of miles away. You can't just look at the riverside valley. Although the place far away from the water is dry, you can still grow millet and sorghum, which can also feed people. Still In my opinion, not only will our soldiers not be short of food, but we can also recruit dozens of households to live in. As long as we repair Shibibao well, people will definitely come.”
Wang Zhongfu said: "This place is all uphill and downhill. There is no flat land. Who would live here?"
Shu Jiming said: "Of course someone will come. Tomorrow we will go over the place carefully together with the scribes. Where can people live, where can be farmed, where is suitable for planting fruit trees, where is suitable for opening canals, we have to plan everything. Etc. After repairing the fort, the soldiers will have to train half a day and come out to work half a day. It only takes a year or two, and this is a good place."
Wang Zhongfu looked around, and after a long time, he nodded and said, "What Dutou said is true."
Shu Jiming said: "Although everything is inconvenient for us to come here, it is quieter. If we make the place well, it may not be impossible to become a paradise. When the Jin army comes to attack Shenshan, they will also go from the south. Our place is relatively safe. .”
Wang Zhongfu said: "If we want to be safe, we must make thorough preparations. If Jin Bing didn't come, how could it be so dilapidated? If Jin Bing really came, there is no safe place in Shenshan County."
Shu Jiming nodded: "Yes, Shenshan County is too small and the land is barren. When the army comes, they need to eat food. How can we be safe? However, if we want to stay on Hedong Road, we must solve the problem of food. For two years, the army had to cultivate their own land. They also had to spin cloth to make clothes, raise chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, and everything depended on ourselves.”
Wang Zhongfu nodded, thinking about how to plan in the fort.
There are not many soldiers stationed in a fortress.In Taiping years, food was naturally brought in from outside, and soldiers did not have to farm the land themselves.But where is food around now?Have to do it yourself.There are not many families in the surrounding area, and the land here is enough, it depends on whether the soldiers can plant it.
Wang Xiaolie told Jiang Min that it was not a last resort not to let the regular army farm the land.No matter how good the words are, farming and other things that have nothing to do with war will inevitably affect the combat effectiveness of the army.Not only does it affect the quality of individual soldiers, but more importantly, it affects the organizational capabilities of the army.An army accustomed to farming and raising pigs is actually not suitable for the battlefield without rigorous training.
But what can Jiang Min do?In the area of Shenshan County, not only is the local land barren, but after the destruction by the Jin soldiers, a large number of households fled.Originally, in this mountainous terrain, the population was concentrated in some relatively good places.As soon as Jin Bing came, the population of these places was almost wiped out, how many people fled to the mountains?If you want to reorganize the place, the army must find a way by itself.
Now the army in Shenshan County, in addition to stationing the original forts like Wang Zhongfu and Shu Jiming, has also dispersed to build new forts.Even the necessary military rations, Jiang Min can only provide part of it, and the rest has to be figured out by the army.
It's early winter now, and it's too late to grow food.The ministries can only send people into the mountains to pick dates, chestnuts and other fruits to survive the long winter.The population of this era is small, even if they eat wild fruits, it is not easy to go hungry.
Turning around and looking at the terrain, Wang Zhongfu and Shu Jiming had a rough plan in mind.
In the lowland valley below, wheat and soybeans can be planted after the canals are dug.In some flat highlands nearby, drought-tolerant crops such as millet and millet can be planted.In the place near the fort, plant some mulberry trees, jujube trees, etc., and also plant some fruit trees, which is probably enough for daily food.
After all, the army is not civilians, they are organized and have superiors.As long as there is a plan, seeds, saplings and the like can be provided by the superior.What Wang Zhongfu and Shu Jiming lack now is time.
