contend

Chapter 158
The two agreed, and everything was easy to handle.

Yang Zheng rewarded those who made meritorious service. All those who participated in the battle were given food and mutton. According to the previous promise, [-]% of the seizures in the Great Elm Valley were distributed to the soldiers who participated in the battle.

There are pensions for the wounded and the dead.

Du Yu also recommended Zhao Deng to Yang Zheng, and ranked his contribution as the second.

Naturally, Zhang Te made the first contribution, followed by generals such as Liu Heng, Jiang Faye, Meng Yu, and Zhou Fang.

Report the list of meritorious service to Xia Houba.

Tens of thousands of captives were gathered under the city of Xidu and divided into eight groups, each with 5000 people. Han, Qiang, and Hu were mixed. They were named after Jia, Ji, C, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, and Xin. Very long.

Resistance is certain.

Yang Zheng did not separate their wives, children, and parents, but many Qiang people lived together for generations and did not want to be separated.

Yang Zheng raised the knife without hesitation.

More than 300 heads fell to the ground, all honest.

The soldiers also entered the state of battle, wearing armor and holding knives, and took turns patrolling day and night to prevent the slaves from making trouble.

After the division was completed, they were taken to various villages.

The western capital is divided into two divisions Jiaji, Linqiang is divided into Bingding two divisions, Anyi is divided into Wuji divisions, Guiyi Jianwei two cities and the big and small Yugu are divided into Gengxin two divisions.

Each department has [-] soldiers stationed there.

Just in case, Yang Zheng personally led a thousand cavalry to patrol the various ministries.

After the spring plowing began, the earth suddenly became busy.

Both the Qiang people and the Han people still have great enthusiasm for the fields.

The land in Xiping is fertile and there is too much land that can be cultivated. The biggest problem is the lack of population.

The large and small elm valleys can support more than [-] Qiang troops.

Linqiang, Xiping, Anyi, and Poqiang are all lands that can be farmed along the Huangshui River.

The art of the husband's rule of the country is to strengthen the army and have enough food, the Qin people are eager to farm and take over the world, Xiaowu uses the fields to rule the Western Regions, this is a good way for the world!
The art of farming is also applicable to the Qiang people.

After the iron plow and cattle were put into use, the efficiency of farming increased greatly.

Yang Zheng also recruited old Han farmers to guide the Qiang people in farming.

Labor can transform people the most, and it can also transform a nation.

In the beginning, there were many thorns, or people who were obedient and obedient, but after having food and huts, these people gradually became obedient.

Can live, no one wants to die.

In order to stimulate their enthusiasm for work, Yang Zheng also set up incentive measures to select outstanding laborers from various ministries and reward them with mutton, food, and clothing.

The Qiang people are very happy.

Like the Han people, the Qiang people at the bottom also live a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs.

Not to mention eating meat, it is not easy to be able to eat one or two meals a year.

Clothes are even worse.

In Yang Zheng's impression, he was similar to a beggar.

Real rewards are more effective than any nonsense.

The Qiang people gradually adapted to their new identities.

In fact, apart from being a slave, the life of the Qiang people has changed fundamentally.

As long as they do not violate the laws and regulations of the Captain's Mansion, they will not be whipped and bullied.

Gradually, Yang Zheng discovered that the Qiang people's temperament is aggressive on the one hand, but honesty on the other.

After the establishment of their own authority, the Qiang people gradually obeyed.

A large amount of land is cultivated.

From the Huangshui River Valley to the Yellow River Valley, it is full of vitality.

After chaos comes great order.

After a brutal war, people's hearts yearn for stability.

Qin Liang communicated with the Western Regions, and since the Han Dynasty, it has been a place of slaughter and conquest. First, the Han and Wu forces made a large-scale westward advance, and then there was the Qiang-Han War that started with the elimination of the Qiang and the burning of the Dang Qiang.

The Hu people in the Western Regions also took the opportunity to revolt, and the Shu Kingdom made a northern expedition at every turn.

Yang Zheng's powerful conqueror character design gave the Qiang people a great sense of security.

Li Er once said a famous saying, barbarians and di, like beasts, are afraid of power but not virtuous.

Yang Zheng fought from south to north, from east to west, by the lakeside of the West Sea, at the foot of Datong Mountain, and the Jingguan, which was piled up with bones.

Who is not convinced by the mighty military?
Yang Zheng looked around with the knife in his hand, to prevent someone from causing trouble.

Du Yu was busier than him in checking the population fields.

There are too few people in Xiping who are proficient in writing and ink, so Du Yu had to mobilize the children from the youth camp and the quick-minded people from the Han people to teach them in person.

The sound of reading aloud resounded in this barren land.

All beginnings are hard.

And there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart.

Du Yu's level is nothing to say, Confucian teachings are profound and simple, and often a few words can explain the classics, and also quote circumstantial evidence, full of wit and wit, which amazed Yang Zheng, who was secretly listening to the class.

The way of Confucius and Mencius in this era is still very desirable. It has not gone through the speculative stage of Zhu Cheng's Confucianism. Although it has been "processed" by Dong Zhongshu, it is still in the stage of fundamental teachings and relatively vigorous.

For example, Confucius said, "Don't do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself."

Mencius said that the people are the most important, the society is second, and the king is the least. The thought has a profound philosophy, and it will not be out of date for future generations.

Yang Zheng remembered that later generations read a piece of news that the Tao Te Ching unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha had many differences from those circulating on the market.

In many classics, if the sentence is wrong, it means another meaning, let alone a difference.

A tiny bit of error is a thousand miles away.

No matter how good the scriptures are, they can't stand the crooked monks reading them.

After the end of the spring plowing, the work did not stop.

The destroyed dock was rebuilt.

Following Deng Ai's example in Nan'an, Yang Zheng opened a canal as a moat to surround the farmland, and built some necessary beacon towers according to the terrain and mountains.

Especially in Xiaoyu Valley, it is estimated that there will be a beacon tower every ten miles, and a dock every thirty miles, stretching from Jianwei City to Guiyi City, Xiaoyu Valley, and Dayun Valley.

Everything was in order, but there were still discords.

Beasts and bandits are everywhere, often launching sneak attacks.

Especially the bandits, Xiping was originally the frontier of the fusion of Hu and Han.

There are not many others, there are many bandits and horse thieves.

Many tribes are honest people during the day, but cruel thieves at night.

There is also the defeated Zhong Qiang, who claims to have hundreds of thousands of people. Yang Zheng only captured [-] to [-] young men in total. There is still a large population, and a large number of unruly species. That is to escape into the rolling mountains of Xiping, hating Yang Zheng, going down the mountain to sneak attacks, not leaving any dogs behind, several villages were slaughtered, and the means were to go after Yang Zheng.

The slaves who had just calmed down became terrified again.

Sweeping bandits has also become a top priority.

It also happened to be a good way to train soldiers.

In view of the large number of Qiang and Hu soldiers, Yang Zheng recruited a large number of Han troops from the four cities of Linqiang, Xidu, Anyi, and Poqiang.

The troops under his command finally broke through the ten thousand mark.

There were 560 Qiang soldiers, 500 Jian soldiers, [-] Qin Hu soldiers, [-] Han soldiers, and [-] Xihai Hu soldiers.

The number of troops on hand expanded to 2000.

Although the Qiang people are the most numerous, their origins are complex, including the Wilderness Tribe, the Qiang captives from Fuhan, the familiar Qiang recruited by Jishi Mountain, and the Zhong Qiang.

Each does not belong.

And Jian Bing can basically be regarded as Yang Zheng's confidant.

Qin Huwei and Yang Zheng followed suit.

Of course, Yang Zheng didn't want his army to be full of mountains, so he also adopted a mixed method to integrate all the ministries into one. Since then, there has been no Qiang camp, Jian camp, and Hu camp.

There are only three battalions of Reebok, Xiaoqi, and personal guards.

There are about 6000 people in each battalion. Most of the middle and upper-level officers are Han, while the lower-level officers only have some Qianghu.

For a county with this kind of force, more than [-] troops are not too much.

Especially in Xiping, a frontier place that goes deep into the Qianghu.

Xia Houba had repeatedly reminded Yang Zheng to recruit more troops.
