Chapter 283 Eating Meat
In addition to the women and children who migrated, there were also old and weak people who were driven out from the north.

Either five or sixty-year-olds, or old soldiers who lost their hands and feet due to war.

Losing the ability to farm is equivalent to losing the qualification to survive.

"As long as it is a person, no matter the old or the weak, it will be accepted, and the docks and villages will not be turned away for any reason!"

Yang Zheng couldn't afford benevolence and righteousness before, but now he has the qualifications.

Difficulties are only immediate, but fame is long-lasting.

Xiping has also reached the stage of erecting archways.

"Wei Guan's move is intended to slow down Xiping's efforts, but after all, it's just a firefight with a salary." Du Yu laughed.

The government military system has reduced Yang Zheng's burden by more than half, but his combat power has increased.

It also gave Yang Zheng the confidence to take in refugees.

Yang Zheng didn't mind adding fuel to the fire, "Anyone over [-] and under [-] years old in the territory will be rewarded with [-] catties of mutton. What does Yuan Kai think?"

The population of Xiping is young, and after the turmoil caused by Ye Wudai, Midang and others, the old and weak have already filled the ditch.

There are only a few elderly people who can survive.

Paying some mutton to buy people's hearts is not too bad.

Yang Zheng remembered that in history, Han Gaozu, Han Wendi, Han Wudi, Han Xuandi, etc. all rewarded the elders.

It is not unreasonable for the big man to become one of the two peaks in China.

Du Yu said: "Great Wei inherits the Han system, governs the world with filial piety, the generals take care of the old and the young, care for the orphans and widows, sincerity is the way of the world!"

Yang Zheng and Du Yu inspected Zhuzhechong Mansion in plain clothes. It was snowing heavily and it was freezing cold, but their training did not stop.

Captain Zhechong, Changshi, Bingcao, Xuanyiling and other generals were not idle either, performing their duties and sharing joys and sorrows with the soldiers.

The soldiers eat whatever they eat, and they wear whatever the soldiers wear. There is only an iron plate on the waist to distinguish their identities.

Xi'an has only been settled for a few years, and it is still in the initial stage, with a lot of waste waiting to be done.

The selected generals either followed Yang Zheng to fight for several years and escaped death, or experienced the despair and darkness in the past. They all cherish the hard-won days now and have not been corrupted by the Central Plains.

After being tempered by suffering, although a little poorer, a little bit harder, and a little bit tired, his mental outlook is positive.

Yang Zheng was not stingy, and divided the sheep sent by Xihai into [-] heads.

There are five Zhechong mansions in Jincheng, with a total of more than [-] people, so that everyone can live a good year.

Only by eating meat can you train with strength.

Yang Zheng's personal life is extremely simple, and he doesn't have high requirements for food and clothing.

Two bowls of barley rice, one bowl of meat soup, one dish of pickles, and some seasonal vegetables such as melon, gourd, and turnip, are three meals a day. Influenced by future generations, one meal is more than ordinary people.

Among the few members of the family, only Xiahou's talented daughter has a bit more appetite, and she can't get tired of eating and eating.

Mallow is warmed with leeks, fish is eaten in summer, meat is roasted in winter...

Yang Zheng let her do other things, it doesn't matter what raising wolves, poetry and songs, after all, the top family of Xiahou's family, but Dongjiu and Yujiao firmly disagree.

Winter chives need to be cultivated in a greenhouse, with a fire burning day and night, and hundreds of people take care of them carefully.

The coldness in the northwest can be imagined. The winter lasted for nearly five months, and the greenhouse cost a lot, which was firmly banned by Yang Zheng.

There is also fish meat, Yang Zheng remembered that Chen Deng ate this stuff, he vomited several liters of blood and died...

After several months of awkwardness, Xia Houzhi was changed.

The news of one sheep per person was passed on, and the government soldiers burst into cheers immediately.

It's not easy to eat a meal of meat these days, let alone a whole sheep?
The sea grass in the west is fertile, and the cattle and sheep are strong. A sheep is about [-] catties, and it will be no problem to eat it for a month or two.

The enthusiasm for soldier training has obviously increased.

The old and weak horses that were cut down in the army were slaughtered and boiled into meat soup, which was distributed to the migrating people. In such a cold winter, a bowl of hot soup can accumulate some warmth in the body.

Many women and children knelt in the ice, bowed and saluted, with tears streaming down their faces, "I will never forget the grace of life!"

Yang Zheng looked at the lying head in the snow, instead of feeling happy, he felt inexplicably sad.

Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer...

"Great victory! Great victory!"

Hundreds of riders galloped from the southwest, their voice piercing the wind and snow like a long arrow, and falling on the land of Jincheng.

Yang Zheng, Du Yu, Zhang Te, and Meng Guan looked southwest at the same time.

"Great victory in Poyan Valley, nine thousand government soldiers defeated forty thousand rebels!" the scout shouted hoarse.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

The crowd shouted wildly, no matter men, women, old or young, no matter Qiang Han Hu Di, no matter slaves waiting to return, they were all immersed in the ecstasy of victory.

Du Yu laughed and said, "Yin Chun is a wise general!"

With this reminder, Yang Zheng also understood Yin Chun's intentions.

Let's not talk about how the battle of Poyan Valley was fought, so many scouts were brought in to report the victory, which inspired the morale of the government soldiers, common people, and refugees.

What could be more exciting than a big win these days?

What's more, it's still [-] against [-]...

Being able to think of things other than the battlefield is called a wise general, but it is also appropriate.

"Wan Sheng!"

The most exciting thing is the Fubing, rushing into the ice and snow, dancing and dancing.

I'm even happier than if I won the battle.

Zhang Te, who has always been calm and introverted, also had a faint smile on his face.

The significance of this battle was extraordinary, and it dispelled everyone's doubts about the Fubing system.

No matter how good the system is, if it has not been tested in actual combat, it will be just talk on paper after all.

"The deputy commander marched in the snow, the thieves were unprepared, caught off guard, the four-way government soldiers rushed in, one as a hundred, everyone was brave, captured and beheaded 130 leaders, big and small, and three thousand, captured 8000 thieves, and captured yaks. Thirty thousand war horses, sheep and livestock, twenty-four thousand shi for food and fodder, and nothing to pay for armored knives and carts!" The voices of the scouts were trembling, and they didn't know whether they were cold or excited.

Of course, Yang Zheng was the most excited, but he kept it hidden in his heart.

After this battle, the spirit of resistance on the plateau was basically defeated.

"How about the casualties of our army?" After all, Zhang Te was more stable.

"The casualties were less than [-], and more than [-] of them suffered from frostbite on the way."

More than 4 people, the mountain was blocked by heavy snow, and [-] people took the initiative to attack, with only more than a thousand casualties. There is no doubt that it was a big victory.

"All scouts will be rewarded!"

"Thank you, General!" The scouts retreated happily.

Only then did a gleam of joy well up on Yang Zheng's face, "How about promoting Yinchun as the ruler of the south, and granting rank five military merits?"

The enemy's army is more than [-], and the strength of the enemy's troops is lower than that of the opponent. It is better to fight with fewer troops.

Capturing and killing [-]% of the enemy is considered a great achievement, and forty thousand enemy troops must be captured and killed at least [-] to be considered a superior achievement.

Nine thousand to forty thousand, the enemy's strength is still ten thousand short of going into battle, and the enemy's equipment is also much worse than that of the Fubing.

There is also a slight difference in the capture, and it can only be counted as a mid-range gain.

However, the victory of this battle is a quick victory, which is of great symbolic significance.

It's not too much to reward for going into battle.

Zhang Te nodded, "It's all up to the general."

But Du Yu shook his head, "No, since there are rules and regulations, they should be strictly followed. There are clear orders on how many enemies you defeat, how much you capture, and how many rewards you can give. Rewards from generals, but unwilling to use their lives in battle, the merits of the Twelve Armies will be in vain! This is not a perfect method, I hope the generals will be careful!"

In the words of later generations, there is no law to be followed.

Now that the rules are established, just follow the rules.

Ordinarily, he is now one of the princes, but it is still unavoidable to be impulsive. Yang Zheng bowed his hands respectfully, "I didn't think carefully, and if Yuan Kai hadn't corrected me, I would have made a big mistake."

Du Yu also bowed his hand and returned the gift.
