Chapter 268 Radical

Du Yu was busy as soon as he came back.

It is also the resettlement of Qianghu captives, and the division of pastoral areas.

Of course, what he cares most about is the government soldiers.

"The subordinates think that it is not appropriate for each soldier to divide one hundred mu of land."

"Oh?" Yang Zheng also realized the problem.

His government military system is almost copied from Datang's.

Limited by memory, there are naturally many loopholes.

"One person plows and plows, but it is only ten mu. The harvest of the middle field and the harvest of the dead are only two stones per mu. There are more than five or six mouths in a family of men, women, children, and children. The soldiers are unable to cultivate a field of one hundred mu. There are too many fields, and there are no more soldiers. If you have an enterprising heart, your mind will be thrown into the fields, and its intention will surely fall, and the combat power of the government soldiers will decline." Du Yu's analysis was straightforward.

Yang Zheng wiped off his cold sweat.

Fortunately, it is only just divided now.

Soldiers are also being transferred.

Lu Zhi also mentioned this issue, but only briefly, and then went to reclaim the fields and build the Wubao.

Yang Zheng thought that adding cattle and iron farm tools would solve the problem, but he didn't expect the relationship to be so deep.

This also faintly shows that Du Yu's talent is a head higher than Lu Zhi's.

Of course, Luzhi's strengths lie in building frameworks and governing the people.

Little is known about the military.

There are many policies in history, the starting point is good, but after being implemented, it gradually becomes sour.

"Yuan Kai thinks how much land is appropriate to grant?"

"Ten mu is better." Du Yu stretched out a finger.

Ten mu of land, twenty stone grains a year, just enough for a family of five to make ends meet.

However, many soldiers in Xiping were transformed from slaves, and they were alone, or had only wives and children at home.

Ten mu of land is enough for them to barely eat.

Farm cattle and agricultural tools are in the hands of the Zhechong Mansion and are used uniformly.

There is nothing else in Xiping, but there are still quite a lot of cattle.

The last time Shuzhong asked to buy [-] cattle and [-] rough horses.

It is not difficult to cultivate ten mu of land.

"Then reward the land according to the military merit?" Yang Zheng still knew about the military merit granting land.

"Exactly, tigers and wolves are fierce when they are hungry, and fall when they are full."

The Fubing system gradually evolved from the "fuhu" in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It went through continuous improvement in the Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang Dynasties, and reached its peak in the Tang Taizong period.

Of course, Yuwentai's military system and Tang Taizong's military system are not the same thing.

Everything in the universe is in the process of evolution.

It must be learned and used alive.

"If Yuan Kai didn't remind me, I would almost have made a mistake." Yang Zheng bowed to Du Yu.

Du Yu also returned the salute, "My lord is the only person in the ages who can propose the government military system. It is the duty of the subordinates to check for omissions and addenda."

Yang Zheng blushed, but he was flattered by Du Yu's praise, and said with a dry smile, "It's just that you want to change when you're poor."

"If you are poor, you will change, if you change, you will be successful, and if you are successful, you will last forever. This is the most logical." Du Yu flattered him again.

Yang Zheng coughed and changed the subject, "What do you think Yuan Kai will do next?"

Xiping is booming, so naturally everyone is thinking about Xiping and their own prospects.

Du Yu is no exception, "The bottleneck is still food and population."

Xiping has a population of nearly 20.

Attracted by the tax reduction of the land distribution, the people of Yongliang migrated to Xiping one after another, but with the arrival of Hu Fen and Deng Ai's vigilance, the migration was blocked.

Of course, even if it is completely released, there will not be many common people.

Years of wars have caused the population of Yongliang to drop sharply. No matter how much tax is cut and the land is divided, the effect is almost the same.

What's more, a large number of people are controlled in the hands of gentry tyrants.

Yongliang Tuntian also controlled a large number of Tuntian customers.

"What's Yuan Kai's ingenious strategy?" Yang Zheng also knew the truth. With a population of 20 to support [-] soldiers, the Three Kingdoms did not do this.

The sixteen Zhechong mansions took on [-] soldiers, but there are still nearly [-] soldiers who need to be supported.

Moreover, Yang Zheng had many cavalry under his command.

I once expected to build a heavy cavalry of 500 people, but found that it was simply not enough.

Heavy cavalry requires at least one person and two horses, one horse for combat and one horse for carrying heavy loads.

It is definitely not enough to eat grass alone, but also to eat beans and wheat concentrates to enhance physical strength.

The investment of a war horse is almost five times that of a soldier!
Up to now, the number of armor cavalry is only 760 per cavalry.

Moreover, this thing is also expensive, and the daily maintenance cost is not small.

Horses need to eat well, and so do people. They have meat every day, and each of them is a burly man with a face full of flesh.

Yang Zheng also didn't intend to increase the number of armored cavalry.

The reason is very simple, can't afford it.

Combining with Qingqi and infantry to fight side by side, not to mention sweeping the world, it is also one of the best combat powers in Yongliang, which is enough.

"Completely solve Fa Qiang, Shao Dang Qiang, and Zhong Qiang!" Du Yu's eyes lit up faintly.

Yang Zheng was stunned for a while, and this step was a bit too big, "The plateau is vast, and it takes energy to manage it, isn't it worth the loss?"

Du Yu pointed to the huge cowhide map and said: "No, our army only takes its population to enrich Xiping, instead of operating the plateau, we only need to occupy some fertile land and keep the essentials. Wubao, set up the Zhechong Mansion, use the Qiang to rule the Qiang, support the war with war, and don’t spend a single soldier or food, then within ten years, the plateau will be mine!"

"If the Qiang people rebel, don't we help them establish a country?"

Integration is not that simple. The Han, Wei and Jin ruled the Southern Huns for 300 years, but they still haven't been cooked.

If the military and technology spread out, the Tubo Empire might appear in advance.

But since Du Yu proposed it, he must have thought it through carefully.

"The Qiang people are different from the Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Hu people. They are scattered in the country. There is no legal system of kingship. If there are a few tribes, they call themselves Qiang kings and kill each other. Now that Deng Ai is defeated and Hu Fen is here, within two years, they will not be able to attack us. , this is the right time, after two years, this strategy will definitely be effective!"

After not seeing each other for three or four months, Du Yu seemed to have become more radical.

The scholars of this era are not the scholars after the Song Dynasty. They can lead the army when they are on horseback, and govern the people when they are off their horses.

Zhuge Wuhou, Sima Yi, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, and Deng Ai are all like this.

Even Guan Gong read Spring and Autumn.

Scholars in the Han Dynasty were more radical, and they settled in the Western Regions at 36.

Yang Zheng kept thinking about the feasibility of this strategy in his mind.

The reason why the Huns are so difficult to deal with is because they were rich in the past, and the Juqu and Bilu tribes still miss the glory days of the Huns.

But the Qiang people did not.

The Qiang people are not a unified ethnic group, and should be regarded as a broad regional concept.

From the Western Regions to the plateau, from the plateau to Shu, from Hexi to Hehuang, and from Hehuang to Longyou, they are all regarded as Qiang land.

After Yang Zheng's improvement, the Fubing system has actually become a system of granting land for military merit.

There is a natural desire to expand.

After the slaves made meritorious service, or when the five-year period expired, they were either transferred to the army or transferred to wait to return, and they all had to distribute their land.

Of course, there are few people in Xiping now, the whole power is on the rise, and there is enough land.

But what about later?

There will always be a time when the land in Xiping Jincheng will be distributed, right?

And the population will continue to grow.

At that time, the ills of the prosperous Tang Dynasty will appear in Xiping in advance.

The general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be united for a long time. In a chaotic world, if you don't advance, you will perish.

You don't mess with others, you want to be a guard dog, but you can't stand others messing with you.

Land, food, population, the world!
Yang Zheng has embarked on a correct path of no return.

Either achieve brilliance, or be buried under the tide of the times.

"The Qiang and Han origins are of the same origin. The sons of the Qiang clan under my command are loyal and loyal. This is the harmony of people. The rich and prosperous land of Hequ is in my hands. This is the favorable location! When will you be waiting?" Yang Zheng finished following Du Yu's words.

Du Yu nodded with a smile, "My subordinates suggest that we build another one-fold palace in the Poyan Valley in the southwest of Dayu Valley, and that the river bends five-fold to gradually encroach on the plateau."

"If this is the case, the Xuanyi Division should be the pioneer and recruit a large number of Qiang tribe Xuanyilang to enter the Qiang area first, to promote the benevolence and righteousness of our army, and the lenient government of our government! In this battle, attacking the heart is the top priority, and attacking the killing is the bottom!" Yang Zheng made an analogy. .

Unknowingly, the tacit understanding between the two is getting higher and higher.

Du Yu cupped his hands and said, "If that's the case, it won't take ten years for the Qiang land to be leveled!"

Two days later, Du Yu formulated a detailed plan.

The scouts went first, followed by Xuan Yilang. After the autumn harvest, Hequ rushed to the mansion in order to advance.

Yang Zheng asked Lu Zhi about the plan.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhi didn't even look at it, "Xing Yun can make up his own mind, since he wants to do it, he doesn't need to hesitate, his subordinates will help him!"

"Thank you, Uncle." Yang Zheng was a little moved, knowing that he was actually supporting him silently, never overstepping the rules, never relying on the old to sell the old, and he grasped his propriety very well.

Now that there is Lu Zhi's support, there is basically no internal resistance to this matter.

The garrison in Hequ had actually endured for a long time.

Many people want to go one step further in military exploits.

However, He Zig Chong Mansion has just built two places, the captains of Zhe Chong are Du Bin and Yang Yao, and the remaining two Yin Chun are temporarily serving concurrently.

The land of Poyan Valley is still in Zhong Qiang's hands.
