Great Military Division

Chapter 357 Guo Jia: Your Majesty, we finally have the ability to fight back!

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

The sun is in the sky, and the south wind is warm.

Han Hao, the captain of Tuntian, walked in the rice fields outside Xiangyang City, looking at the corpses of fish fry piled up on the ridge of the field, even he himself couldn't help but secretly startled.

It was also at this moment that he really felt that the ecological farming of fish in rice fields was indeed not as easy as he imagined, otherwise the people of Jingxiang would not have suffered such a loss.

He squatted beside the rice field, staring at the clear and transparent pool water, approached him, reached out to scoop up some clear water, put it to his nose and sniffed it lightly, and immediately frowned, realizing that the pool water was untreated.

Although, even now, he has not understood why the court has to treat the water quality, and what is the effect of such a complicated treatment method, but at this moment, he seems to have understood that the water that is not treated will inevitably cause serious problems. s consequence.

of course!

Whether the reason for the scene in front of him is only the water quality, Han Hao is still not clear, but he can be sure of one thing, this must be an extremely important link.

Han Hao didn't make any noise, nor was he excited. He simply rolled up his hem, took off his shoes and socks, and went down to the pond himself, feeling the quality of the mud and the temperature of the water.

as predicted!

Not only is the water quality problematic, but even the temperature has not been controlled.

On the river bank, Han Song also rolled up his hem, took off his shoes and socks, walked into the pond, and asked tentatively, "Captain Han, did you find anything?"

Immediately.

He hooked his hands and signaled the dozens of officials behind him to follow suit.

The captains of the imperial court can go to the pond in person, let alone a group of local officials, since they are here to study, they have to show some attitude of learning.

"You have a lot of questions."

Han Hao frowned, fixed his eyes on the seedlings, and sighed: "There are water quality problems, water temperature problems, and even fertilization problems."

"Besides that, your field ridges are also very problematic. The wide part is not wide, but the high part is short. The irrigation canal does not have a valve, and the distance between the fields is also very problematic."

"."

If Han Hao didn’t open his mouth, he would ask seventeen or eight questions: “Of course, it’s not clear whether the death of fish fry is related to the above questions, but from the current point of view, Jingxiang’s rice field fish measures are really true. It's a mess."

Uh.
Han Song was criticized so badly that he wished he could turn into a loach and get into the pond and never come out.

I had been investigating the fish in the rice fields for a long time, but who would have thought that such a big mistake would happen. Han Song thought it was just a matter of raising the ridges and raising some fish, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

Although Han Hao accused Han Song of being useless in front of all the officials, Han Song still maintained a humble attitude and humbly asked Han Hao for advice:
"It's the ecological breeding of fish in the rice fields. It's too simple! We have to work hard with Captain Han to help us find the problem and try to curb the death of fish fry, otherwise Jingxiang will inevitably lead to a food shortage!"

Suddenly.

Han Hao stopped, turned around and looked back, staring at Han Song with a faint sullen look in his eyes: "Degao, your problem is not just the death of fish fry. If you don't handle it properly, you may even lose the seedlings."

"I can tell you very responsibly that if the root cause is not found, within a month, if there is still a living creature in this acre of rice field, I, Han Hao, will resign from my post as the captain of the rice field."

Han Song originally thought that as long as the court personnel came here, they would be able to solve the problem, but who could have imagined that the Jingxiang rice field fish incident was much more serious than he imagined.

"Captain Han!"

At that moment, Han Song hurriedly cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "Song, I implore you, you must solve the problem as soon as possible, otherwise the people of Jingxiang will suffer, and they are related to the livelihood of nearly a million households."

call-

Han Hao let out a long breath, his complexion still not very good: "I can only say try my best!"

Han Song cupped his hands: "Captain Han, you are the captain of the imperial court, what else can be difficult for you?"

Han Hao snorted coldly and shook his head: "Even though I am the captain of the imperial court, I only have one year of experience. This method of ecological breeding of rice field fish is inherited from His Majesty and coincides with Taoist theory. We are just Executors."

"Therefore, please ask De Gaoxiu to force XX. Hao came here at His Majesty's will, and naturally tried his best. The more you force XX, the more it will backfire."

Han Song hurriedly bowed: "It's because I didn't think carefully."

Han Hao said softly: "How about this, you first send someone to contact Zaozhi to buy some water quality treatment formulas for rice field fish. If the water quality is not up to standard, don't mention other factors."

"Water quality treatment formula for rice field fish?"

Han Song couldn't help being stunned, he had never heard of this thing.

"Ah."

Han Hao nodded, and said softly: "All the rice fields and fish water treatment in Nanyang use this formula, which is exclusively provided by the imperial court."

"it is good!"

Han Song responded without hesitation: "I remember, I will definitely buy it back in the shortest time, but I don't know how much I need to buy?"

Han Hao frowned: "Let's buy [-] stone first."

Han Song was stunned: "[-] stone?"

"What, too much?"

"No! No."

"You have 500 million mu of land, how many [-] shi treatment formulas are needed? You should know that you may need to change and add water in the future, all of which must be treated, and [-] shi may not be enough."

"Understand."

"."

this moment.

Han Song was so regretful that his intestines were almost green.

If he knew that the ecological breeding of fish in rice fields is so troublesome and there are so many details, why was he so anxious?

Now it's all right, no credit for the credit, but a catastrophe, the loss outweighs the gain.

Although the output of rice field fish ecological farming is relatively high, and you can eat delicious fish during the period, it is nothing compared to the technical barriers.

Han Song really couldn't believe how the imperial court promoted the rice field fish in the first place. Even if he knew the details of the entire ecological breeding, the education and training for the common people was also unbelievable.

Others may not be able to imagine how much Zaozhi and Han Hao have worked so hard to spread rice field fish in Nanyang, but Han Song now knows it well.

These two people have definitely made great contributions to the stability of the Nanyang Hanting, otherwise the Nanyang Hanting would not be able to get rid of their dependence on the aristocratic family within a year and deal with them with more thunderous means.

This time!
Han Song was completely convinced and convinced.

Not only the credit to Zaoyi and Han Hao, but also the determination to His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang, if it wasn't for Ling Yunzhi hidden in his chest, how dare he not wait to raise his whip!
******
"Brother, what's the matter?"

Nanyang, Xinye County Government.

Zhang Fei galloped back and shouted at the top of his voice.

"It's a good thing."

Liu Bei pinched the goatee under his jaw, smiled lightly, and handed the imperial letter to Zhang Fei: "Didn't you always want to participate in the riding competition?"

"Oh?"

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it time yet?"

Liu Bei also had the same doubts, but since it was His Majesty's determination, he didn't bother to ask further: "It's not the time, isn't that what you mean? It saves you from practicing riding every day."

"That's true."

Zhang Fei opened the letterhead, opened it to browse, and put his heart in his stomach: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely come back with a Golden Riding Award for this riding competition."

"You-"

Liu Bei shook his head slowly, and sneered: "It would be nice to come back with a Bronze Riding Award. You must know that Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, and Tai Shici will also participate in this martial arts competition, and it will be in the finals."

"I heard that last year's riding competition, Lu Bu won the bronze riding award, and he was very unconvinced. This year, he has been practicing riding and has never stopped."

"Humph!"

Zhang Fei snorted coldly, with fierce fighting intent flashing in his eyes: "I can't wish for it. If you can't defeat Lu Bu, what's the point of going to this riding competition?"

"Brother, don't worry!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Fei patted his chest and assured him: "I will not embarrass you, you are the noble star of the imperial court, and you are the most trusted family member of the Han Dynasty."

Every time Liu Bei thinks of this, he feels deeply the trust of His Majesty the Emperor, and his heart is filled with energy, and even the resentment that has not been reused so far will disappear in an instant.

"That's what you said."

Liu Bei patted Zhang Fei's shoulder and said solemnly, "One of us will come back with a trophy. The Golden Riding Award is the best, and the Bronze Riding Award is the best. All three of us will be famous in the court."

Zhang Fei clasped his hands together and said, "Don't worry, brother."

Liu Bian nodded: "En."

Pei country, Qiao County.

Cao's army camp.

Cao Cao sits at the head, and the next cadres of civil and military are lined up on both sides.

He pinched the goatee under his chin, and looked at the soldiers below with great interest: "I tell you some good news, this year's riding competition has been moved forward, and the preliminaries will officially start five days later."

"If anyone in our army is willing to sign up, you can give it a try. If you can be selected, it is of course a good thing. Even if you can't be selected, it is good for you to open your eyes."

"and!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao emphasized: "The imperial court will form a new army this year, called the Tiger Cavalry, and the strength should be around 1000. If you can win the competition, it is very likely that the Tiger Cavalry will be selected as the main general."

"You should have seen the strength of leopard cavalry and wolf cavalry, especially Lu Bu's wolf cavalry, with tactics such as penetration, detour, division, encirclement and suppression, all of them have their own way."

"If you can come back from training for two years, at least one of the cavalry of our Cao army, who has experience in beheading generals and capturing flags, can be directly promoted to be an army commander."

The best and most direct stimulus is the stimulus of economic interests.

You must know that Cao Jun’s cavalry has only two thousand cavalry, and the person with the highest official position is no more than Cao Chun. Pay attention to.

"General!"

Immediately, Cao Chun became excited, took a step forward and bowed his hands: "The last general recommends two people, namely Cao Ang, Marquis of the Battalion, and Cao Xiu, Marquis of the Army. They will definitely be selected."

"OK, alright!"

Cao Cao agreed without hesitation: "No matter who you are, you can sign up. Even if you fail the preliminary round, the semi-finals, or even the preliminaries, it's not a bad thing, and no one will laugh at you."

"General!"

As soon as the words fell, a strong man with a head like a wheat bucket and round arms and waist appeared from the tent: "The last general Xu Chu, I want to try it, I wonder if it is possible?"

Cao Cao nodded humbly: "Of course! But, Zhongkang, you have superb riding skills and outstanding martial arts. This general has even higher expectations for you. You want to win the leader of the tiger cavalry, can you?"

Xu Chu bowed his body and cupped his hands, and said sonorously: "The last general will do his best to refuse to accept the high expectations of the general."

Cao Cao smiled lightly, and turned his eyes to the others: "Is there anyone else who wants to try?"

"The last general Wenji is willing."

"Xia Houyuan is willing to try."

"The end will be willing to go!"

"There is also the last general!"

"."

Cao Cao was very satisfied with the enthusiasm of the soldiers. He waved his hand to signal the crowd to be quiet: "One thing in advance, the leaders and generals of the army are not allowed to leave without authorization, in case of accidents, those below the rank of lieutenant colonel can go and try."

After all, the soldiers and horses led by Cao Cao are currently confronting Liu Dai and Liu Yao. If all the generals in the army leave, who should lead the troops?
Cao Cao is indeed very supportive of the lieutenant officers and soldiers to participate in the equestrian competition, but the premise must not affect the army's organizational system. This is the most basic requirement!
*****
Nanyang, Wancheng.

The Emperor's Palace.

Wende Hall.

Liu Bian was holding the list of horsemanship competitions, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought to himself: "Cao Xiu, Xu Chu, Zhang Fei, there really are quite a few fierce men out there!"

"Defense Lord."

The Military Division Alliance seemed to be equally excited: "Our tiger rider has someone to choose, either Xu Chu or Zhang Fei, but Xu Chu is the best. After all, Liu Bei doesn't have any generals. If Zhang Fei is pried away, it is estimated that it will be difficult to resist the attack from the direction of Chang'an." attack."

Although Liu Bian strengthened Liu Bei's strength during the process and assigned him many capable ministers, most of them were civil servants, and there were still some deficiencies in military generals.

Now Zhao Yun is most likely under Gongsun Zan's command, and Ma Chao is still in Liangzhou. As for Huang Zhong, he is already the leader of the Leopard Cavalry. If Zhang Fei is taken away again, Liu Bei will really become a poor commander.

If the commanding officer of the war zone is too shabby, he will be slapping Liu Bian in the face: "The teacher is right, Zhang Fei is indeed a bit inappropriate."

"but."

Liu Bian had his own considerations: "Let Zhang Fei experience tiger riding, leopard riding, or wolf riding for a period of time, it should be okay. After Liu Bei becomes the commander-in-chief, he can be transferred there."

"can!"

The Alliance of Military Advisors agreed without hesitation: "If this is the case, it is best to let Zhang Fei experience in wolf riding. If he can learn the tactics of wolf riding, even if he goes to Liangzhou in the future, he will still be useful."

"Ah."

Liu Bian nodded approvingly: "It's really a good idea. Once Liu Bei enters Heluo, it means that he will definitely go to Guanzhong in the future. Longxi is the famous Xiliang Xiaoqi."

"Cavalry Against Cavalry"

Liu Bian couldn't help showing a faint smile, and thought: "Just imagine this taste, and it will feel good!"

However, the military division alliance interrupted in time: "Master Bian, don't think too much, when Liu Bei's cavalry is going to kill and rush to the pass, we will definitely use firearms."

"firearm?"

Liu Bian was taken aback for a moment, then elated: "Didn't it mean that our current technological level is not enough?"

The Alliance of Military Division explained: "It is definitely enough to make a flintlock gun, but it is useless. The shooting process is too slow, and there are too many operating steps. It is far less powerful than our Shenyuan crossbow."

"When the enemy is still generally at the level of bows and crossbows, the Shenyuan crossbow is definitely a crushing existence. It can be fired five times in a row, and the time interval between changing the arrow box is also very short. Isn't this much more powerful than the flintlock?"

"Since experts want to make it, they must make a gun that is cost-effective and far better than the god kite's crossbow. At present, we have the conditions for refining high, medium and low carbon steel. If we improve the other aspects a little bit, we should enough."

Although Liu Bian didn't know much about flintlock guns, matchlock guns, etc., he heard from netizens that they could be made completely, but when used, the actual effect was not as strong as that of Shenyuan.

After all, one is for bursts and the other is for single shots, and actions such as loading ammunition are relatively complicated. Apart from the obvious advantages in range and lethality, there are no advantages.

On the other hand, the God kite crossbow is different.

The advantage of continuous fire is too obvious, coupled with the charge of the horse, its combat effect can completely make up for the disadvantages in lethality and range.

The most important thing is that its production cost is relatively low, and it can be equipped in large quantities, and even equip each soldier with one, which is far more economical than a flintlock.

"Of course!"

The military division alliance reminded: "We are the first to produce black powder, and then we will manufacture all the explosives and grenades. It will be easy to destroy Yuan's uncle and nephew."

"After the Han Dynasty is unified, let's slow down and stabilize for two to three years, first raise the internal industrial standards that should be improved, and solve all the key railways, bridges, education, agriculture, etc. Late."

In fact, this is the same as building a house. The current development is indeed rapid, but the foundation is still unstable. Only after the foundation is solidified can we build higher and go further.

"rest assured."

Liu Bian nodded and said softly, "I understand this truth."

Military Division Alliance: "Just understand."

Liu Bian turned to look down at Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, you should be in charge of this year's riding competition. I won't participate. Just report the final result to me."

Xun Yu looked troubled, and pondered for a moment, as if he had made up his mind: "Your Majesty, I don't want to shirk. The situation this year is indeed different from previous years. The task is extremely arduous, and the official duties are extremely busy."

"If you take this matter into consideration, it is indeed a bit busy. I suggest that since this matter is military and political, it would be best to leave it to Taiwei Yang Biao to be responsible."

Taiwei Yang Biao?

hiss-!
Liu Bian took a deep breath and nodded with great interest.

He has almost forgotten about this mascot. It seems that except for Yang Biao who appeared once during the debate between scholars of ancient and modern texts and classics, there is no sense of existence for the rest of the time.

It is indeed appropriate to leave the matter of the riding competition to Yang Biao: "Well, it's not impossible to consider, Yang Gong is indeed qualified."

Seeing that His Majesty did not object, Xun Yu nodded hastily: "Besides, it is much better for the Taiwei to be the referee on behalf of Your Majesty than for the minister to come forward, and the name change is much more justified."

"How about this."

Liu Bian pondered for a moment, waved his hands and said: "You Wenruo, you are here to plan to call, and hand over this matter to Taiwei Yang Biao. If this is the case, it will also be an encouragement for him."

"Since he entered Nanyang, he has been idle. Most of the people he recommended failed to pass the imperial court examination. He has no complaints until now, which is indeed rare."

"Yes."

Xun Yu echoed, "Mr. Yang has really worked hard these two years."

Liu Bian nodded: "Then let him enter the state from now on."

Xun Yu cupped his hands: "Your Majesty is wise."

"Report—!"

At this moment, a long announcement sounded outside the hall.

Liu Bian looked up.

But seeing, Zhu Tong pushed the door open and entered, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, Guo Jia, the school official, asks to see you."

Liu Bian waved his hand and said, "Let him in."

Zhu Tong cupped his hands: "Here."

Immediately.

Bow and leave.

Xun Yu gave a bow, and also said goodbye and left.

Not long after, Guo Jia stepped up to the hall, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Minister Guo Jia, see Your Majesty."

Liu Bian waved his hand to signal Guo Jia to sit aside: "Feng Xiao, how is the situation in Jingzhou now?"

Guo Jiayi bowed: "It's basically under control, but Your Majesty, Jingzhou still suffered heavy losses this year. Even if there is no food shortage, I'm afraid the losses of the people are not small."

"Especially the major families in Xiangyang. It is estimated that the annual income will decrease by [-]% compared to previous years. Moreover, most of the fish fry are cultivated by them. The conflict between the common people and them will definitely deepen."

Well done!

Liu Bian felt joy from the bottom of his heart.

Han Hao's action not only saved the lives of the people, but also weakened the Nanyang family, killing two birds with one stone.

However, he couldn't be too excited, after all, it would damage his image as an emperor: "What about Han Hao and others now?"

Guo Jiayi bowed: "Han Duwei is currently leading personnel and is stationed in more than [-] counties in Jingzhou. Every day, he has to communicate with the common people in depth, to promote the face of Nanyang, and His Majesty's benevolence."

Liu Bian nodded slowly: "Thank you, Captain Han."

After Guo Jia narrated the main things, without any nonsense, he directly turned to the main topic: "Your Majesty, now Your Majesty has sent people to infiltrate Chang'an. What we dare not do before, now we finally have the conditions."

Previously, due to the lack of personnel, the school affairs office could only protect itself in Nanyang, and could not expand the assassination to other states and counties. However, after half a year of development, the school affairs office has expanded its strength and finally entered a state of counterattack.

"Oh?"

Liu Bian guessed that Guo Jia meant something, so he simply asked directly, "I don't know what Feng Xiao is going to do?"

Guo Jia said very solemnly: "According to the information, Yuan Kai is currently integrating the power of the court, and in the future it will definitely involve Dong Zhuo's old troops, as well as Ma Teng, Han Sui and others in Longxi."

"This is what I think, why don't we take advantage of Yuan Kai's difficulty in taking care of Longxi, let's send people to contact Ma Teng and Han Sui first, and promise them to win them into our people with great profits, so as to threaten Guanzhong."

Liu Bian's eyes brightened: "Yes! Of course I agree."

Guo Jia smiled lightly, and began to ask the emperor for bargaining chips: "Since that's the case, then I don't know what kind of official positions your Majesty may accept for Ma Teng and Han Sui?"

　Let’s add more tomorrow, it’s definitely too late today
