Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1161
After several years of development, the road between Heluo and Tongguan became more and more smooth. It didn't take long on the way, and Shen Zhezi rushed to Tongguan.

The top of the plateau where Tongguan is located, although the terrain is peculiar, the soil is also very fertile.In the past few years, in addition to the construction of the Tongguan Pass defense, the reclamation and development of Yuanding has also reached a considerable scale, especially to accommodate a large number of migrants from Kansai, who are mainly resettled on the plateau behind Tongguan. So far, several capacities have been formed. Reclamation areas with more than [-] people.

When Shen Zhezi led the army to the top of the plateau, what he saw was no longer the barren jungle, but a piece of newly reclaimed fertile land, and on the other side was the Yellow River, whose water level had dropped in winter and had become peaceful.

People in this era naturally lack the idea of ​​maintaining water and soil and sustainable development. The reclamation officials who came to welcome them enthusiastically told the general about the achievements of the reclamation in the past few years, but the general's face had become a little weird.

"It seems that environmental protection and afforestation should be put on the agenda."

Looking at the bare plateau, Shen Zhezi sighed in his heart.Before that, he had never had much awareness of environmental protection. In such a medieval age, no matter how hard he built, the damage to the environment could not exceed the self-supplement of the natural environment.

However, the ecological environment of the Yellow River, a large waterway, has its fragile side. Not to mention the big proposition of water and soil erosion. In the hundreds of years from the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, because of the lower water level of the Yellow River, the Tongguan Pass had to be relocated several times.The rapid recovery of productivity has caused too much load on the regional environment in a short period of time.

In fact, in the past few years, the area under Xingtai's rule has gradually exposed such problems, especially the smelting bases like Luojian have made the surrounding mountains gradually look barren.

In the case of insufficient vitality in the world, the idea of ​​concentrating manpower and material resources on key development areas is not wrong, but in the past few years, although Shen Zhezi's main business has not been in such a trivial development as plowing mulberry, it has also greatly promoted productivity. Over-development has indeed occurred in some places, and there has been a certain disconnect with the whole.

In the final analysis, it is still insufficient to control the overall situation. Since it is necessary to ensure the leading edge of technology, regional blockade is an inevitable means. Some places are over-developed, some places are completely abandoned, and resources cannot reach an optimal allocation.As the territory ruled by Xingtai became wider and wider, this phenomenon became more and more prominent.

"After the Guanzhong war is over, a wider adjustment should be made."

While thinking about it, Shen Zhezi ordered the accompanying officials to make a note of the need to prepare a quick forest nursery cultivation plan and hand it over to the platform for perfect implementation.There is no lack of talents in agronomy in the Academy of Engineering, and technical problems can be easily handed over to them.

The immediate focus is naturally on the military. When Shen Zhezi arrived at Tongguan City, the frontline generals had already lined up outside the pass to greet him.

Now that the season has entered winter, this year's combat mission is aimed at completing the first phase of the strategic goal, which is to win Hongnong, so there is no need to fully invest the strategic resources of Xingtai.

At present, there are only a few generals on the front line of Tongguan, including Yu Manzhi, the defender of Tongguan, Li Bing, the leader of the Hongwu Army who arrived earlier, and Xiao Yuandong, the Fenwu Army who came all the way to protect the general.As for Xie Yi who returned to Luoyang to recuperate, and Guo Song who was transferred from Xingyang to Luoyang, they are still reorganizing their corps and preparing to go into battle in the spring of next year.

As he grew older and his history deepened, Yu Man's youthful impetuosity gradually faded away, and he had grown a thick short beard under his jaw, and he was also orderly when reporting military information: "The old Tongguan Fourth Army has a total of 1 soldiers. There are two thousand men, nine thousand men of the three armies on the plateau, all on standby, and the other garrisons are in the winter leisure time, and they can gather [-] soldiers..."

Tongguan is a heavy defense in the west, and more than [-] sergeants have been deployed for a long time, and they take turns to change defenses with Heluo.

And this time, Xingtai dispatched two main combat troops, Fenwu and Hongwu, plus the Xiangyang soldiers who rushed from Wuguan in the south, and the number of frontline combat troops has reached [-]. The peripheral forces in Guanzhong, such as Jie Zhao Guojing in the Shangluo area on the west side, are already enough.

"How is Hongnong Township?"

After entering Guancheng and sitting down, Shen Zhezi asked about the situation of the enemy on the opposite side.

"After Shi Sheng fled, Hongnong didn't have a strong army stationed there, and most of them were villagers who led the crowd to defend. If the general hadn't ordered to be careful and defend, our troops could go down to the pass and attack them one by one."

Yu Manzhi said seriously, saying this is not bragging. Hongnong has been ravaged by the Hu crowd for a long time, and the village is already very weak. Although the information in the book shows that there are many Wubi masters with thousands or even tens of thousands of people, most of them are mobs The Tongguan garrison may not be as good as the four major armies, but it is also the main combat force on the front line, and it is more than enough to defeat these peasant forces.

"When Master Wang is moved, he must be defended forever. Even if he succeeds in spinning around, it will greatly disturb the countryside and damage the enthusiasm of the people to welcome Master Wang, which is of no benefit."

The excellent situation is still not triggered, which is indeed a little conservative.But Shen Zhezi is now in charge of Xingtai, and besides seeking merit, the more important thing is to seek cure.Last year, Xingtai was not completely calm, and rushed to occupy Hongnong, and it required a lot of investment to repair the place.

Moreover, after the battle line advances to the Hongnong Weinan area, the Tongguan defense line that has been built will become a defense base. It is true that Wang Shi can advance and retreat calmly. Consume Hongnong's little vitality left.

In particular, although Shi Sheng was defeated and crossed the river, he still had combat strength, and he might come from Puban South to harass Wang Shi's back road at any time.Since then, Wang Shi has been forced to deepen his investment time and time again, and is caught in this kind of see-saw of offense and defense.

Now, although it has been postponed for a year, Master Wang has been able to gather gravity to make a final decision and completely bring Hongnong into the governance of the land.This is the trade-off that Shen Zhezi had to make after pulling out the battle situation in the area from his field of vision.

"Previously in Hongnong County, there were many villagers who crossed the pass and invited Wang Shi to enter the county. However, the territory has been controlled by slaves for a long time, and there is even a slave general Guo Jing on the flanks. The authenticity of the nostalgia is still in doubt."

At this point, Yu Manzhi waved his hand to signal Li Bing to continue speaking.

Although there are no clear labels for the four major armies, they generally have their own priorities.The earliest establishment of the Shengwu Army was the general's pro-army. In addition to being responsible for guarding the platform, the battle focused on solid defense and solid defense. It was the best choice for setting up a foreign stronghold.

In the subsequent Fenwu Army, the main general Xiao Yuandong himself is a well-known and lucky general in his family. He chooses brave soldiers from all walks of life to attack fortified villages. He is full of aggression. .

The Yangwu Army can be said to be the best engineering soldiers. Most of the heavy weapons carried by the Yangwu Army are in charge of and used by the soldiers of the Yangwu Army. Although they do not have great achievements in independent combat, their sergeants are active in front of the battle. The morale of the entire combat team is extremely strong, and the haunting place also makes the enemies frightened. It is not a level of combat effectiveness at all.

As for the Hongwu army, it is a scout army. The soldiers who can be selected may not be the strongest in individual combat, but they are definitely the most comprehensive in comprehensive ability, and each of them is superb in riding skills.The most glorious achievement after becoming an army is to go deep into the Jie State-controlled area in Hebei, and even go around the back of Xiang State, intercepting and killing all the missions sent by Xianbei to Xiang State on behalf of the country, and returning with full strength.

The various divisions of the Royal Division, especially the main armies, are equipped with extravagant equipment, far superior to other armed forces in the world.Relatively speaking, the Hongwu Army can be said to be the team with the cheapest rations. They can even be directly raised in the mountains and fields without the burden of supplies. After a long period of maintenance, the soldiers can still live alive.

The reason for building such an alternative army lies in the feeling of special forces surging in Shen Zhezi's heart. There were no such objective conditions before, but after the establishment of the Xingtai in Luoyang, the more resources and manpower that can be mobilized, Shen Zhezi also exhausted his energy Build it out.

Li Bing, the general of the Hongwu Army, was the son of Li Hong, the original general of Xuzhou, but his ability to command this ace army was not entirely due to nepotism.

First of all, he did have great achievements, especially when he attacked Heluo in the early years, he took the lead in winning Mengjin.The second is that since the concept of Hongwu Army became an army, its people have followed the training, beaten all the way, and finally stood out from more than a dozen candidates to become the general of this army.

The main task of the Hongwu army entering the customs was to spy on the detailed military situation. At the moment when the general asked, Li Bing stood up from the banquet and presented the collection of military information collected during this period, and at the same time selected the key points to make a brief statement: "Previously Hongnong Township There are frequent fights in the villages, strong and weak merge and kill each other, because several villages are born, among which the Hongnong Yang family is the largest in Huayin Wubi, with more than [-] brave soldiers and more than ten villages... "

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he frowned. He didn't care much about ordinary local tyrants.

However, like the Hongnong Yang family, which has a long history and has been well-known for many years, it is really difficult to deal with it, because no matter how powerful the current power is, this kind of family is not an unknown generation. It cannot be limited to one place, and it will inevitably be widely and over-interpreted by the current flow.

While thinking about it, he turned to the information about the Hongnong Yang family. The Hongwu army did its best to collect information. Not only the people involved are present, but even the Hongnong Yang family has recorded all the ups and downs over the years.

Needless to say, the old reputation of Hongnong Yang’s family goes without saying. In the past, Yang Zhen, a famous official of the later Han Dynasty, was called Guanxi Master. The government is respected for a while.

However, it is too late to cook oil with fire. The Yang Jun brothers were good at it for a while. Later, the Empress Hui Jia Nanfeng united with the Zongwang and the courtiers to kill the Yang family. Thousands of people were involved. Hongnong Yang was famous all over the world. The family was in decline, and even the roots of the country were almost uprooted.

However, the centipede is dead but not stiff, and although the Yang family has survived the turmoil, it has not recovered, but the inheritance has not been cut off.Although San Yang was killed, Yang Xiao, another branch of the Yang family, survived because of his early death and young children. Yang Xiao was the son of Yang Xiu, a famous scholar in the late Han Dynasty.
