Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1270
It seems——there’s nothing else to do.

In frontline battles, the victory or defeat in the short term may be the only battlefield in Weizhou.

Liang Hanyong assembled a large army and besieged Weizhou.Li Siyuan sent troops out of Yanmen to attack Shuozhou and Yunzhou.You fight yours, and I fight mine. They have confronted each other many times, and each wins and loses.

Liang Hanyong asked to transfer [-] soldiers from North Daozhou, and another [-] Fan soldiers. Li Siyuan was defeated in the Battle of Jincheng and continued to besiege Weizhou.

It would be good to win before the end of the year, provided that Li Keyong does not increase his troops.

Of course, even if they didn't win, Shao Shude would not blame them, at least the Rouzhou camp contained a large number of Jin soldiers.

These Jin soldiers, who might have appeared in Yiding, can't come now, this is the effect.

After much deliberation, Shao Shude issued an order in Changping to transfer the left side of the Tielin army to escort the grain and grass to Weizhou, and temporarily joined the camp in Rouzhou.

Shao Shude specifically asked his son-in-law that if Li Siyuan came again, let the Tielin army fight with him.

All the ministries besieged Weizhou, and the veterans of the division were exhausted, so the Tielin Army attacked the city.

When chasing and defeating the enemy, let the Tielin army go up.

Use it to death, don't feel pity, Dad no longer loves them...

Shao Shude thought for a while and decided to continue being a trader.

Huainan Pan: Gao Silun, Gao Siji, and Gao Xinggui have brought an army of [-] Pinglu south to Xuzhou. Honglu Temple and the Department of Listening and Watching are also trying to find ways to contact personnel from all parties. There is no major movement as a whole at present, and we are waiting for the opportunity.

Hebei Pan: The overall idea is to focus on military offensive, supplemented by political surrender, and there is nothing to improve for the time being.

Hedong Pan: The military attack from the north and the south, without hesitating casualties, dragged down the Jinyang army. The political recruitment has never stopped since the beginning, and there is nothing to be perfected.

Finally, there is the plate of the grassland, which may be more important than the unification of the Central Plains, because the influence is not limited to the last hundred years, and may even last hundreds or thousands of years.

On this plate, there are too many things to do, Shao Shude is almost never idle, and starts working early in the morning.

In the dense mist of Changping Tang, there were uninterrupted voices.

Mrs. Chong sat in the outside with some disappointment, sorting out the fruits and drinks on the table.

"Xiao Shilu, as a Khitan official and A Baoji's confidant, how did you evaluate me at the beginning?"

"Shi Lu—"

There was a sound of splashing water, mixed with a cry of pain.

"My husband talked about the official family, saying that people in the Central Plains have never only focused on their own one-third of an acre of land, and they never forget to weaken the grassland."

"how do I say this?"

"Liu Mian in Hedong broke the Uyghur, and the Khan was gone. I just didn't want him to recruit refugees and restore his vitality. When the Xi people were strong, Liu Ji chased and killed more than a thousand miles and beheaded [-] people. If it weren't for the chaos of Huangchao, all major cities in the Central Plains The feudal towns are all involved, and Youzhou Town may want to take action against Khitan."

"Where I wave my whip, all the heroes are tied, and Youzhou Town is gone, but when the Great Xia Forbidden Army comes, aren't A Baoji, Xiao Shilu and others afraid? They can't afford to gamble. I can lose several times, and they lose once , it’s all over.”

"So A Baoji was very anxious and sent my husband to manage Yingzhou, but he lost everything."

"What did your husband lose?"

"We lost more than [-] troops, more than [-] Han people, and several cities."

"What else did you lose?"

There was no sound for a long time.The sound of splashing water rose again, and he cried out again and again.

"We also lost our mother and daughter."

The sound of splashing water suddenly increased, and it lasted for a long time.

"Longhua Prefecture was built by Diela, right?" After a short rest, the slightly tired male voice spoke again.

"It was built by Abaoji, but it was not his head Xia Junzhou. It is considered the public property of the Diela tribe, just like the Xidiela tribe."

"Longhua Prefecture will give it to our children in the future."

"Officials, Longhua Prefecture is not big..."

"You need to save some land. You are only 26 years old this year, and you will have many children for me."

"It's too cramped for the officials to lead Longhua Prefecture with the dignity of a prince."

"Don't say too much about this matter. Longhua Prefecture is not bad. It builds a city along the river, reclaims farmland around the city, and grows grains. Those a little farther from the river can graze. When winter comes, they won't starve to death."

"What if there are too many people in the future? There is not enough land."

"Seeing my aunt in Yulu, you know a lot." The male voice laughed and said, "I will set up a state court in Liucheng, and those who have no way to survive will come to serve as soldiers. The strong and strong men in the bitter cold land must be stronger than the men in the rich and noble villages." Simple, more daring to work hard. The recruits who have completed the training in the Yingzhou Academy are sent to Luoyang in batches to replace the old and retired soldiers of the Imperial Army. This can also prevent the Imperial Army from being glued to the party and unable to command.”

"Party-friendly?"

"This is the trouble of the Central Plains. Since you know Chinese, you might as well read more books when you have time, and look at the archives, especially those about the Shence Army. You will know what it means to stick to the party."

"The Shence Army is very powerful. Back then, they sent troops from Hedong and beat Xi Ren."

"No matter how powerful a strong soldier is, he will degenerate sooner or later. When the Shence Army can no longer absorb the elite soldiers from the feudal towns and join the army, it is doomed to degenerate. An army cannot be exchanged, and it will always choose among those few people." , to the end, they are all crooked melons and cracked dates."

"The officials are really pedantic. Compared with you, A Baoji is as straight as a poodle."

"What about Ruby Xiao?"

"Xiao Shilu is no more than the commander-in-chief of the Yishi Department. Your Majesty is the master of the world. It doesn't matter which one is big and which is small."

"It seems that I am older than Xiao Shilu."

"..."

"Officials, the Yue King City built by Yelv Shilu is also good. He is Yu Yue, and he spent a lot of good things there. How about making it a fief for our second child?"

Snapped!The crisp sound was slightly rippling, and it spread far away.

"You woman is greedy. Chong Gun is your daughter, why don't you think about her?"

"Officials, Chong Gun's surname is not Yelu..."

"What? Is the blood of the Yelu family noble enough? Can it be more powerful than me? I just gave you so many noble species, and you have collected them. Only my species can inherit these pastures."

"Official, I know I'm wrong."

"In the future, each piece of fiefdom will build a city, plant land along the river, and graze away from the river. Herdsmen from all over the country are not allowed to cross the border at will, otherwise they will be severely punished. The land may be very fragmented and cannot be supported by grazing alone, but if there is some grain harvest, it will be no problem. It's grown up. There will be many fiefdoms, and you have nothing else to do in the future, just give birth to my child."

"Officials..." The voice was a little pitiful.

"You are a female slave, why are you so busy?"

"I know I was wrong."

"You made a lot of mistakes today. But I'm tired, and I'll clean up your little rascal next time."

A long silence followed.

Mr. Chong listened outside for a long time, his face was already on fire.

After a while, Shao Shude and Yu Lu went out after seeing their aunt.

Seeing Zhong's fidgeting, hesitating to speak, Shao Shude walked to her side and whispered in his ear, "I know I was wrong."

Chong lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Bring the Khitan map." Shao Shude ordered.

Xiao Chonggun listened outside, and immediately came with a map.

She glanced at the mother who was sitting next to the saint, and when she saw that she was wearing a man's toga with long sleeves, loosely draped over her body, revealing the beautiful scenery of infinite dangerous peaks, she sighed secretly, and her eyes were a little complicated.

She had listened to the conversation between her mother and the saint word for word. At this time, she was in a mess, some wanted to cry, and some emotions that made her feel fear and fear were growing.

"Longhua Prefecture, Yuewang City..." Shao Shude carefully analyzed the map.

Longhua prefecture was in the territory of Naiman Banner of the later generation. At this time, many people had settled down to cultivate and planted millet, millet and wheat.

Yuewang City is the earliest private city of Khitan in the area of ​​Chabugatu in the later generations. It was built by Yelu Shilu, and the first batch of [-] households settled down to reclaim wasteland.

"Liao Ze will dry up sooner or later if the wasteland continues to be cultivated like this." Shao Shude sighed, and asked again: "Seeing my aunt in Yu Lu, have you been to Yuewang City?"

"I've been." Seeing that my aunt looked more dignified in front of her daughter, Yu Lu replied solemnly.

"Over there is also the boundary of Liaoze. Let me ask you, what grows on the land in the water?" Shao Shude asked.

"Some are long grass, while others are full of sand." Yu Lu Jian Gu replied.

"How is it different from Liaoze in western Liaoning?" Shao Shude asked again.

Yu Lu sees Aunt closing her eyes and remembering.

"There are many trees and grasslands growing in the west of Liaoning and the land in Liaoze at the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain. There are more reeds in patches. The land is relatively humid and dark." Yu Lu saw that Aunt hadn't spoken yet, but Xiao Chonggun After rushing to answer, she said: "Officials, if the lakes and lakes in the Huangshui and Pingdi pine forests dry up, they will turn into sandy land. If the swamps in western Liaoning dry up, they will be fertile land, which is completely different."

Yu Lujian subconsciously opened her eyes and looked at her daughter in surprise.

Shao Shude was also a little surprised. He got to know Xiao Chonggun again, and asked, "If Huangshui massively reclaims wasteland and drains the swamp, do you think it is a good thing or a bad thing?"

"It may be a good thing within a hundred years, and the number of household registrations will increase greatly. It will not necessarily be a good thing after a long time." Xiao Chonggun said.

Shao Shude nodded, further firming his mind.

The Huangshui River Basin was greatly developed by the Liao Kingdom in later generations.Just one Shangjing Linhuang Mansion alone has hundreds of thousands of agricultural population.But it was a warm period at that time, and the swamp water resources accumulated over thousands of years could still support it.After arriving in the Kingdom of Jin, the farming population in this area further increased, but the rainfall became increasingly scarce, and the swamps were gradually filled up. Terrible desertification finally came—the famous Horqin Sandy Land was nearby.

There are some places on the grassland that seem to be able to be cultivated for farming, but that is a terrible trap.After the momentary carnival, the ecology collapses, and future generations will eventually swallow the bitter fruit-isn't Shangjing in Liao Kingdom prosperous?what now?Just sand.

"It should be grassland, it is grassland after all, people have to be in awe..." Shao Shude asked Zhong to bring a pen and paper, and began to write.

Zhong Shi didn't care about lowering his head to play petty temper anymore, and looked over curiously.

"The first leader: Longhua Prefecture; the second leader: Yuewang City; the third leader: Shimili; the fourth leader: Muye Mountain..."

Seeing her watching carefully, Shao Shude said with a smile, "This is a century-old plan to stabilize the grasslands. Each territory is not too big. The boundaries are well defined, and crossing the boundaries or annexation is strictly prohibited."

After finishing speaking, he patted Yu Lu Jiangu's fat buttocks with his left hand, and said, "A piece of grassland will be sealed off for every prince. I will assign officials and generals to the children, and give them a good marriage in Han. Just seal it off." In principle, the descendants of princes are not allowed to marry on the grasslands, they can only marry in Han land."

Chong's mouth widened in surprise.

Shao Shude leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Don't worry, our child is still reluctant to send him there."

Chong's face flushed, but his hands caressed his lower abdomen like a ghost.
