Great Military Division

Chapter 286 Form a trap camp!Gao Shun lion opened his mouth!
"Well, that's right! The lever is a labor-saving tool that can quickly reset the bowstring, and with the semi-automatic filling of the arrow box, it can effectively shorten the cycle of releasing the arrow and resetting."

"."

"Don't worry, the elastic device needed in the arrow box will be made by famous people, and you will be responsible for assembling it. You don't need to worry about it."

"."

After answering for an hour, Liu Bian finally resolved all the doubts of Liu Ye and Li Ren: "How is it? Are there any other theoretical questions?"

Liu Ye hurriedly cupped his hands: "No more, don't worry, Your Majesty, I will immediately start making the actual objects when I go back. If you have any doubts, come to the palace to seek your Majesty's help."

"kindness."

Liu Bian nodded and took a long breath: "Theory is theory, and practice is practice. Practice is the most effective way to test your mastery of theory. Don't be afraid of encountering difficulties, these are normal."

"The birth of any brand-new device will go through a lot of theoretical deduction, practical verification, and countless failures before it can be finally completed."

Liu Ye naturally understood what His Majesty meant, and bowed in salute and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, no matter how difficult these ballistas and lever crossbows are, we will definitely make them."

"kindness."

"very good!"

Liu Bian was very satisfied with Liu Ye's answer, and nodded affirmatively: "You have already proved your abilities by passing the imperial court's exam, so I naturally trust you."

Immediately.

Both Liu Ye and Li Ren got up and left their seats: "In that case, I will take my leave for the time being."

Liu Bian waved his hand: "Go! Let go and experiment."

The two handed over: "Well."

As soon as the two left, Zhu Tong came in: "Your Majesty, General Gao Shun has been waiting outside the hall for a long time, do you want to meet him?"

Liu Bian took a breath and said softly, "I actually forgot about Shi Xun, let him in."

Zhu Tong cupped his hands: "Here."

Soon.

Gao Shun came to the Hall of Wende, stepped forward, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "The last general Gao Shun, see Your Majesty."

Liu Bian gave a simple grace, waved his hand to signal him to sit aside, and took a long breath: "Shi Xun, since you surrendered to me, I have not made any arrangements for you. During this period, have you ever complained?"

Gao Shun hurriedly cupped his hands: "How dare the last general."

"nothing."

Liu Bian smiled lightly, and said softly: "I am very aware of your ability. I left you there for half a year, in fact, mainly to hone your temper."

Have to admit.

After being trained for a long time, Liu Bian came up with all kinds of high-sounding reasons.

Obviously he didn't care about Gao Shun, but he was given the reason of "tempering his temper", which not only perfectly comforted his subordinates, but also made him feel flattered, killing two birds with one stone.

"really!"

Liu Bian stared at Gao Shun with piercing eyes: "You have not disappointed me. You have always worked hard and never complained. I believe you will achieve great things."

Gao Shun's eyes lit up suddenly, and there was a hint of surprise in his brows.

He seemed to have sensed His Majesty's deep meaning, and he cupped his hands again, and said sonorously: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the final general will do his best and will not disappoint His Majesty's trust."

"kindness!"

Liu Bian naturally believed in Gao Shun's loyalty: "I called you here today because I want to form an army. There will not be too many troops, only about a thousand people, but all of them are equipped with excellent equipment, supplemented by the latest equipment."

"how to say?"

Since the weapon has not yet been manufactured, Liu Bian is not good at giving Gao Shun the most intuitive feeling, so he can only give an example: "I hope that the fighting power of this army will not lose to Deng Zhi's mandarin duck army."

hiss-!
Surprised, Gao Shun gasped.

Although he didn't quite understand the specific requirements of His Majesty the Emperor for this army.

But
Gao Shun was very clear about the strength of the Mandarin Duck Army.

To this day, the scene of the battle at Shanyangao is still vivid in my mind. The Yuanyang Army formed a deep formation with a small force, both offensive and defensive, and cooperated properly.

Although the terrain factor in that battle cannot be ignored, the strong fighting ability of the Yuanyang Army is also the key to victory, which Gao Shun admires from the bottom of his heart.

But at this moment, His Majesty the Emperor actually used the Mandarin Duck Army as a benchmark, and wanted to build a soldier and horse that would not lose to the Mandarin Duck Army, which is enough to prove how much he attaches importance to this soldier and horse.

How could Gao Shun not be surprised!

of course!

The most important thing is that I am a general.

How much did His Majesty the Emperor trust him to entrust him with forming such a team?
The trust in it, like two big mountains, weighed on Gao Shun's heart in an instant.

"Your Majesty, the last general"

Gao Shun had an unbelievable expression on his face.

But before he could speak, he was interrupted by Liu Bian waving his hand: "Shi Xun, do you want to say that you are a surrendered general, and you shouldn't be in command of such a powerful team, right?"

"kindness."

Gao Shun nodded, sincerely and fearfully.

However, Liu Bian just smiled indifferently: "Shi Xun, you have to relax a bit. To me, you are not surrendered generals, but prodigal sons who have lost their way and returned. All of you are loyal ministers of my great man."

"I never doubted your loyalty!"

Liu Bian said with certainty and certainty: "It didn't happen before, it doesn't exist now, and it won't happen in the future either! If I'm really wrong, I can kill you in the future as well!"

This moment!

Liu Bian's eyes seemed to shoot out murderous aura, a king's demeanor who ruled the world and despised everything suddenly stirred up, covering Gao Shun directly.

Gao Shun was stunned, and a sense of awe suddenly rose in his heart. He cupped his hands subconsciously: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will follow you to the death, and I have no second thoughts."

"kindness."

Liu Bian waved his hand to signal him to get up, then breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly: "Tell me, what do you think about such an army, let me mention it now, and I will try my best to meet your request."

"This"

Gao Shun hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let's think about it later."

Liu Bian said softly: "Okay! I'll wait for you."

Gao Shun sat upright, closed his eyes, his mind was like lightning.

On the other hand, Liu Bian had a thought and communicated with the Military Division Alliance: "Teacher, what kind of demands do you think Gao Shun will make? This kid can't talk like a lion, right?"

"The lion will definitely open his mouth."

The Military Division Alliance spoke directly without any hesitation.

"what?"

Liu Bian was a little embarrassed: "Am I a little too presumptuous? If Gao Shun raises the conditions like this, if he can't meet them, wouldn't he be shooting himself in the foot?"

"don’t worry."

The military division alliance is extremely calm: "The current level of our Nanyang Hanting has surpassed the highest level of the army in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Gao Shun is limited by the times, and the conditions proposed should not be too difficult."

"According to the predictions of experts, there are only three aspects."

"Which three aspects?"

"People, equipment, logistical support."

"This"

Liu Bian thought for a long time: "It doesn't sound too difficult."

Military Division Alliance: "Don't worry, Gao Shun is a loyal person and will not make excessive demands."

Liu Bian secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Soon.

Gao Shun suddenly opened his eyes, cupped his hands and fisted at Liu Bian: "Your Majesty, the final general has already made up his mind."

Liu Bian sat up straight expectantly, waved his hands and said, "Let's listen."

"One!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Gao Shun said sonorously, "I want to ask His Majesty's dignitaries. There are currently 800 soldiers in the last general, but there are not many qualified soldiers. There are about 200 soldiers. At the end of the day, at least [-] soldiers will be needed. After selection and elimination, Thousands of people were finally determined."

"Now, General Xu Rong is training troops for the imperial court. It has been several months. The five thousand troops can be provided by General Xu Rong. After the last general is selected and eliminated, he can return to the original army."

Liu Bian nodded with interest.

really!

Gao Shun was quite a kind person, and he actually considered the source of the troops: "Yes, no problem, I will tell Xu Rong personally and ask him to fully cooperate."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"continue!"

Liu Bian waved his hand and said loudly, "What else is there?"

Gao Shun paused: "Secondly, it is equipped. In the end, you will need fine armor, war spear, Huan Shou knife, two stone bows, and two arc shields, one thousand each."

"Oh, right."

Gao Shun seemed to think of something, and hurriedly reminded: "The fine armor does not need leather armor, but iron armor; the shield does not need a rattan plate, but a double-arc shield. I wonder if your majesty is satisfied?"

Have to admit.

Such equipment is indeed top-level equipment for infantry.

But
For Liu Bian, it was too simple: "Yes, no problem! However, the two stone bows are not needed. I have brand new equipment to provide, and I will hand it over to you after it is built."

"Brand new equipment?"

Gao Shun couldn't help being stunned.

"kindness."

Liu Bian nodded affirmatively: "Don't worry, it's no worse than your two stone bows. Even if you can use them proficiently, you will have no pressure to charge into battle."

Gao Shun took a deep breath: "If you really have this equipment, the general will have to see it."

Liu Bian smiled lightly: "Shi Xun don't worry, it won't be long before it can be made."

"it is good!"

Gao Shun nodded affirmatively, followed by saying: "Your Majesty, after solving the problem of personnel and equipment, the next step is training. The training method of the general may be different from ordinary people, even slightly cruel."

"The general hopes that His Majesty can provide meals beyond the standard, three meals a day, and at least one meal a day must have meat. Only in this way can the soldiers be strong enough to afford such heavy equipment."

"Of course!"

Liu Bian nodded without hesitation and said: "The elite soldiers are both trained and cultivated. I know this very well. Shi Xun can rest assured that I will order Wang Yi, the court food supervisor, to send apprentices to the army to ensure that you and others Meal standard."

Gao Shun was overjoyed, cupped his hands and cupped his fists: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"kindness."

Liu Bian nodded: "Is there any other request?"

Gao Shun shook his head: "No."

"Well!"

Liu Bian took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I have one more request."

Gao Shun frowned, as if he hadn't thought that His Majesty the Emperor also had a request: "Your Majesty has nothing to say."

Liu Bian let out a sigh of relief: "Nowadays, Nanyang Hanting is under great external pressure, and is facing retaliatory attacks from thieves at any time. I want you to train the army before the autumn harvest, at least to form a certain combat effectiveness."

"what?"

Gao Shun was taken aback for a moment: "Before the autumn harvest?"

Liu Bian nodded: "Why, is there any pressure?"

"Have!"

Gao Shun is really a simple and honest person, and he actually said that he was under pressure: "Your Majesty, time is too tight. I am afraid that there will be no time to practice tactics in the future, and the team's combat effectiveness will not be guaranteed."

On this point, Liu Bian naturally agreed: "Well, I feel your pressure, but the current situation is like this, Shi Xun should do his best to adjust your military training method."

"This"

Gao Shun pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "If this is the case, the general hopes that His Majesty will issue an edict to Xu Rong today, and organize the selection of soldiers tomorrow."

"If the final general shortens the training time, the intensity will naturally increase. During the period, he may be slandered by outsiders. At that time, I hope that your majesty will be able to trust the junior general as usual."

Is this a vaccination in advance?

Liu Bian was really curious about how the famous camps were trained: "Don't worry, I won't change generals halfway. I will give you full power to train this team, and I will never interfere."

Gao Shun breathed a sigh of relief, and was ecstatic in his heart: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the final general promises that before the autumn harvest, the team will be able to form a combat force, and they can go out at any time to make contributions to the court's defeat of thieves."

"very good!"

Liu Bian was very satisfied with this: "Since that's the case, you should go back to the camp and prepare. I will immediately order Xun Yu to issue an edict to Xu Rong, asking him to quickly select soldiers and horses, and fully cooperate with you to complete the selection."

Gao Shun got up suddenly, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Here."

Immediately.

Bow down and leave the hall.

At the same time, netizens in the live broadcast room are already excited:

"Trapped into the camp! Is it finally going to be established?"

"Just say what you have, Gao Shun is really too domineering."

"Actually, it's pretty good. It's better than those who keep their words in their hearts."

"That's right! I can't wait for the camp to be formed."

"The enhanced version traps the camp and beats the rhythm of the world."

"The momentum of the charge, there is advance but not retreat, the ambition to fall into the battle, there is death but not life!"

******
Xinye, Deng's family.

Octagonal Pavilion.

Deng Xun was still picking up his flowers and plants: "So, the arable land of our Deng family has sold for a good price?"

Deng Yunyi bowed and nodded: "Although it is not at the highest price, it has basically reached more than [-]% of the price. Now we still hold some good land in our hands. We will sell it after the price of cultivated land stabilizes in the future."

"Well done."

Deng Xun stopped picking up the flowers and plants, got up and went aside, and washed his hands: "I think the momentum we created should soon subside. I don't know the price of plowing the fields now, how about it?"

Deng Yun said softly: "There is already a downward trend. The Yin family seems to have noticed something, and began to sell a lot of land, bringing down the price little by little."

"Humph!"

Deng Xun snorted softly, and said indifferently: "Yin Lu, an old man, always keeps an eye on our Deng family. You did a good job this time, and you finally vented your anger on my behalf."

Deng Yun is secretly manipulating the market, using various methods such as left-handed and right-handed, secretly building momentum, etc., to firmly control the price of farmland in his hands, and continue to seek huge profits.

Originally, the Yin family also wanted to follow suit, but the prices in the market were changing at any time. Once they hesitated for a moment on the news, the situation would change and blood would flow like a river.

This time!
The Yin family suffered a loss.

They failed to keep up with Deng Yun's rhythm.

Satisfied, Deng Yun said with a smile: "Actually, the Yin family has been following along fairly well, but after noon, I sent twelve waves of people to concentrate on selling the cultivated land. Taking advantage of the hottest time, they sold the cultivated land in their hands. more than half."

"When the Yin family realized something was wrong, I spread the news that it was a rumor, and the price of farmland began to plummet. Even the Yin family was not spared."

"but."

Deng Yun said softly: "The Yin family still sold hundreds of acres of land, but most of the cultivated land they reclaimed before is probably going to rot in their hands."

"Especially now, the imperial court's high-drum transfer carts have been erected in all counties of Nanyang, and hundreds of thousands of acres of paddy fields have been created for no reason. This year's grain harvest will definitely be bumper."

"Compared with each other, the price of the cultivated land in their hands is bound to drop sharply. It is conservatively estimated that after the autumn harvest, when the imperial court decides to levy taxes and grains, the price will hit the bottom."

"if."

Deng Yun took a deep breath and continued: "If the court is still not going to abolish the order of grace, we can take this opportunity to spread the news and make the price of farmland continue to drop."

"Homeowner."

Greed flashed in Deng Yun's eyes, and he bowed his head: "As long as we stay like this for two or three years, His Majesty will definitely abolish the order of grace when there is any movement in Chang'an Hanting. At that time, we will buy farmland again, and we will definitely make a lot of money." Pen."

call-

Deng Xun heaved a sigh of relief and nodded with great interest: "Since you have already made up your mind, I will leave this matter to you completely. If there are no accidents, you don't have to report everything."

Deng Yun bowed: "Thank you, Patriarch, for your trust."

"Where's Zimu?"

Deng Xun was concerned about another matter, and tried to ask: "Has he not come yet? It seems that there has been no news of him during this time."

"This"

Deng Yun shook his head, expressing his ignorance: "He seems to be rarely in Wancheng recently."

Deng Xunen said: "That's right! I arranged other things for him."

"I see."

"Report—!"

At this moment, a voice sounded outside the pavilion.

Deng Xun looked up.

However, Deng Tong, led by his servants, went straight to the Bajiao Pavilion: "It seems that there is news! You can step back for now, I have something important to talk to Zimu."

Deng Yun bowed: "Here."

Immediately.

Bow and leave the octagonal pavilion.

Soon.

Deng Tong rushed over, and before he had time to salute, he was interrupted by Deng Xun: "There is no need to be too polite, just sit down."

"Thank you, Patriarch."

Deng Tong responded, and immediately sat aside.

"Is the matter clear?"

Deng Xun filled the tea and handed it to the other party.

"Some progress."

Deng Tong took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly: "My nephew found out that the Kong family casting workshop has indeed carried out a large-scale restructuring. I heard that many apprentices have been exempted from the status of criminals."

"Furthermore, the imperial court appointed Han Ji, a native of Duyang, as the supervisor of the smelter, and carried out a comprehensive restructuring of the smelting and casting blast furnace, air bag, and fuel, and the production efficiency was greatly improved."

"now"

Deng Tong's face flashed with disbelief: "The smelting workshop of the imperial court has stopped the production of farm tools, and is concentrating on making equipment, especially Huan Shou knife and refined iron battle armor, which are in great demand."

"Oh?"

Deng Xun couldn't help being curious: "Could it be a war?"

Deng Tong shook his head: "My nephew thinks that His Majesty should just be on guard. After all, the harvest will be harvested in a few months. Yuan Shu, Zhang Miao and others should not let it go."

"kindness."

Deng Xun nodded his head: "It is indeed possible! Our Majesty is really shrewd and can take the lead in everything. I am afraid that when he was in Luoyang, he would have considered how to develop in Nanyang, otherwise it would be impossible to control it so tightly."

"Innovate the smelting workshop, produce agricultural tools, and ensure the progress of farming, but now they are making weapons and equipment with great fanfare. The affairs are complicated, but they are orderly and closely connected."

"Amazing!"

Deng Xun felt ashamed and sighed: "We can only focus on the present, but His Majesty is anticipating the enemy and taking precautions before they happen. No wonder even Dong Zhuo is not His Majesty's opponent."

Deng Tong was also full of emotions: "Yes! Your Majesty is indeed very powerful. I heard that the innovation of the smelting workshop was done by His Majesty instructing Han Ji. The real provider of skills is not Han Ji, but His Majesty."

"Oh?"

Deng Xun was even more puzzled: "Your Majesty still understands this?"

Deng Tong shook his head: "My nephew doesn't know, but it might be true!"

"His Majesty?"

Deng Xun frowned, chewing repeatedly.

He couldn't help being a little worried, and even a tinge of fear suddenly appeared in his heart.

but
For the sake of the family, Deng Xun finally forcibly overcome it, and asked in a cold voice: "Besides this, what else did you find? Can you bribe the people inside?"

"Buy two people."

Deng Tong didn't hide it, and said immediately: "However, they only described the appearance of that kind of thing. As for the internal structure, they don't understand at all."

"Including new blast furnaces, wooden bellows, and coal that can't be fried. They all only know the superficiality and don't understand the reason. It may be very difficult for us to obtain key information."

"Homeowner."

Deng Tong frowned and clasped his hands together: "Now the Confucian family's smelting workshop is a smelting workshop of the imperial court. Outsiders are strictly forbidden to enter. In a short time, we may not be able to really break into its interior."

Deng Xun said with a twist: "Even if it is difficult, we have to find a way to do it. Have you ever thought that if the yield per mu of the imperial court's public land increases greatly this year, how much will our Deng family's tenants be reduced next year?"

How could Deng Tong not know this.

Cultivating public land can not only avoid oral and calculated taxes, but even the yield per mu can be guaranteed. As long as you are a farmer, you cannot refuse such a condition.

This year is only the first year, and the rich family in Xinye is facing bankruptcy, the price of arable land has plummeted, and they have to pay a land tax of five liters per mu. If it is implemented for three consecutive years, even a behemoth like the Deng family may have to peel off their skin before they die.

In a sense, Deng Xun did this to protect himself!

"My little nephew doesn't know."

"but."

Deng Tong took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and finally said: "Patriarch, if we covet the court's casting skills, if it is exposed, it will bring trouble to the family."

Deng Xun sipped his tea with an extremely calm expression: "How to operate is your business, but if we don't do this, I'm afraid the troubles of the family will also be not small. This is not a reason for you to shirk."

"The Deng family's promising family business, if it is not supported by thousands of farmland, tenants, and properties inside and outside the city, our Nanyang Deng family is nothing!"

"If the Deng family wants to continue, in the final analysis, it is necessary to protect these farmlands, tenants, and various industries in the city. Only when they are stable can the Deng family be stable."
