Destiny Only Han

Longxi County.

Liu Ying stood on the road on his horse, and looked at the group of Rongdi cavalry who were approaching with a playful look.

So the old Rong Di, who was walking in the front and with a yellow beard, immediately lowered his head, wishing he could find a crack to get in.

Well, this guy is the leader of Rong Di who 'sucked' his little mother back then.

Now that I don't fight much now, this guy didn't die in battle before the age of 35, so he was naturally ashamed to meet Liu Ying.

However, in recent years, the Han Dynasty has changed its customs towards Rongdi, and the new generation of Rongdi people have abandoned the "dross" passed down by the older generation, and are no longer proud of dying in battle before the age of 35...

Therefore, although this guy did not die, he still occupies the position of leader.

A moment later, five thousand Rongdi cavalry approached and lined up in front of Liu Ying, holding their helmets in their left hands and bowing in salute.

"See Your Highness!"

Liu Ying nodded lightly, and immediately asked solemnly: "Where is Zhou Yafu, Captain Xiaoqi?"

Zhou Yafu came out more and more, bowed and saluted: "The end is here!"

Holding the command arrow in her hand, Liu Ying said loudly: "I order you to lead the army with five thousand Rongdi cavalry to clear the obstacles along the way. If anyone resists the army, kill first and then play!"

Well, this refers to the Qiang people entrenched in the west of Longshan Mountain and south of Huangyuan.

In the past, when the Wusun people were still subject to the Huns, the Qiang people had been secretly communicating with the Huns, and their relationship was much better than that of the Han people who lived next door and had the same origin.

After all, the land of Han Xing is also the land of Qin Xing. The ancestors of the Qiang people were the 'Spartacus' who escaped from the Qin people. Naturally, they guarded against their neighbors like thieves...

Looking at Zhou Yafu who led the Rongdi cavalry away excitedly, Liu Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

The Rongdi cavalry have no combat effectiveness, but they are used to being free and undisciplined. Many times, they rushed out without waiting for the order of the Chinese army...

Although those who disobey orders will be executed, the crux of the problem is that these guys are very capable of seizing opportunities, often able to seize fleeting opportunities and directly establish the victory!

Therefore, Liu Ying loves and hates these guys.

But Liu Ying sometimes thinks that these guys didn't listen to orders before, and they probably rushed to die...

Right now, Zhou Yafu is so rigid that he is almost dogmatic, and it would be best for him to deal with the disorganized Rongdi cavalry!
So, Liu Ying happily turned the horse's head and prepared to take a hot bath in Fuhansai.

This is the place where the great river and Lishui meet, and it is the last fortress of the Han Empire on the western border. Further west, you will reach the border of the Qiang people, and the conditions are not so good.

Well, in fact, the conditions in Fanghansai were also very poor in the past. It was only after the soldiers in the army committed crimes that they were sent to garrison here as a punishment.

But now the prosperity of the Han Dynasty is mainly due to the fact that Longxi County has built a two-way four-lane concrete road from Fanghan County to the western frontier of the empire in order to spend all the financial budget of the year...

Then, Fanghansai suddenly became prosperous. Every day, many Longxi merchants set off from the county town to come here to buy all kinds of mountain products and leather carried by the Qiang people outside the border wall...

Then, the market was formed and seafood merchants settled in. This formerly desolate frontier fortress has already taken the shape of a small border town.

Liu Ying felt that after the Qiang people next door were surrendered, Longxi County might open another county centered on this border fortress...

After all, according to the traditions of this period, there are only a few thousand households in a county, but judging from the small houses built around Huahansai today, there must be at least 1000 households here.

Therefore, it is reasonable to set up counties.

And this is actually a portrayal of the counties in the Central Plains. Those places have a large population base, and the population multiplication rate during peacetime is amazing. Many counties have changed from [-] to [-] counties under their jurisdiction to more than [-] counties under their jurisdiction. !
Therefore, every year, just paying the salary of county-level bureaucrats accounts for several percentage points of the total revenue of the national treasury!

Although Zhang Cang wrote to Liu Bang more than once, talking about the financial burden of redundant officials, Liu Ying felt that it was okay. After all, as it was said in a certain drama, why do we need so many official committees that do nothing?

The answer is to avoid the emergence of non-government organizations.

This is the card niche.

When the official power to maintain order weakens, the powerful forces under the manor economy or the gentry class in the imperial examination era will rise, and then the official wants to take back the right to speak, even if they can't even change the dynasty!

The so-called 'imperial power does not come down to the county' is probably the case.

But the reason for maintaining so many redundant officials.It also lies in the fact that Liu Ying is in order to accommodate the assistant officials trained by Dahan Public School.

This is like a lottery, as long as the base is large enough, one or two SSRs can always be drawn...

For example, Xiao He was just a small official in the county before he grew up to be the prime minister of the empire and the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty who made the rulers of all dynasties drool...

But another more important reason is to share the pie.

There are many heroes in the founding of the Han Dynasty. These guys not only have a lot of children, but also relatives such as seven aunts and eight aunts who want to be arranged into the system, so there are so many county magistrates, county magistrates, county lieutenants and supporting villages. There are ranks, stingers, etc. at the first level, just to satisfy their appetites.

After all, everyone is a minister of the arm and arm, and there is no room for neglect...

Of course, it is limited to when the first generation of heroes is still alive, and after the second generation succeeds to the throne, each will rely on his own ability, the capable will go up and the mediocre will go down!

For example, Tao Qing and Liu She, who follow Liu Ying and are subordinate officials.

Tao Qing's father was Tao She, Marquis of Kaifeng. Tao She was an ex-Qin minister at this time. He fought with Zhang Han and defected to the Chu army during the Battle of Julu. To be precise, he followed Yingbo.

It's just that Tao She's life has undergone slight deflection under the fanning of Liu Ying, a butterfly.

For example, it was not Tao She who made Yingbu decide to go to Liu Bang, but Chongda who killed the envoy of Western Chu with a sword...

Another example is to suggest the merits of the Han army singing Chu songs, follow Liu Bang to crusade against Yan Wang Zang Tu, represent Chen Ping to send gold and silver to the Xiongnu family, follow Liu Jing to the Xiongnu to conclude a peace treaty, put down Han Wangxin, Chen Xi's rebellion, and defend Liu Bang Arrow and other credits are gone...

Therefore, Taoshe was honored as the Marquis of Kaifeng, and there were only [-] low-end households in the food town...

So Liu Ying brought Tao Qing, a high-achieving student who graduated from the law department of Dahan Public School with No.

After all, in the original history, Tao Qing succeeded Shen Tujia and became the prime minister of the Han Empire.

As for Liu She, his father is Tao Hou Liu Xiang, Xiang Liang's son Xiang Xiang. In the original historical line, Liu She paid homage to the prime minister after Zhou Yafu and served as the prime minister of the Han Empire for five years.

Therefore, this is not only a correction of a certain historical line, but also a trial.

As the ancients said, the world of a husband and sage is like an awl in a bag, and the end of it is right.

However, some Gonghou disciples are a piece of gold that will shine wherever they are placed, and some people are just mud that cannot support the wall...

So when Liu Ying was happily preparing to take a bath, she turned around and left when she saw Han Xin approaching angrily.

It's just that Han Xin had already spotted him, so he chased after him in three steps at a time.

"Where to go?"

"Haha, so it's the Marquis of Huaiyin!"

Liu Ying smiled awkwardly, but stared at Han Xin's big hand on his shoulder with sharp eyes: "Let go, man and woman can't accept kissing!"

Han Xin was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Where did this set come from..."

Liu Ying happily shook her head: "Don't worry about it! Let's take a bath together..."

"Hehe, don't try to change the subject!" Han Xin sneered, remembering the previous events, and he was furious: "Soldiers, important affairs of the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival, must be investigated!"

"The bunch of trash snacks you got here are nothing but shit. What else can they do other than say a few words about what my father said and what my uncle said?"

"Wait." Liu Ying was stunned for a moment, then blinked and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Don't pretend here! If you don't know, what did you hide just now?" Han Xin curled his lips in disdain, and then said: "It's the nephews of those old guys, don't you know that, in fact, they don't have anything to say family history..."

"The fathers of those guys, one counts as the other, they are all trash snacks! Bah, calling them trash is an insult to the word trash!"

"Just now, just now, I asked them to form a formation. I was afraid that they would not understand, so I taught them in detail for half an hour. In the end, the formation was still the same as before, with musketeers at the front and pikemen at the back. ..."

"But that's not the most terrible thing. Those boys from the countryside are alright. If you tell him a few words, he knows how to change. Those plump bastards are like stones in a latrine, smelly and hard!"

Hearing what Han Xin said, Liu Ying coughed lightly, signaling him not to kill a boatload of people with one shot.

After all, he is also the so-called plump brat...

Han Xin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You don't count, I'm talking about Chen Shu's son, Chen Jian..."

Liu Ying nodded. Chen Shu was entrusted by the Marquis of Juelong, and his land was near Tai'an City, Shandong Province. He was a veteran who followed Liu Bang from Fengxian County. It was just bad luck. , Captured the Great Sima of Western Chu, Cao Jiu, and made him a Marquis.

So Liu Ying asked: "What happened to you, Yuanshen... Bah, what happened to Chen Jian?"

Han Xin was still furious: "The boy in Chen's office doesn't know how to teach his son, Chen Jian is deadly like that kind of big square formation that has been eliminated. He said that the big square formation is invincible against all sides. I am reckless. The formation is to trap the Han army to death!"

Liu Ying scratched her head, full of doubts:
"Isn't it good to have a large phalanx? Musketeers line up at the four corners of the phalanx. No matter where the enemy comes from, they will have continuous fire output..."

"Then the Xiongnu cavalry we fought against this time, they have many horses, and they come and go like the wind. Our army formed a large square formation, which happened to defend the enemy without any dead ends..."

Han Xin sneered: "No wonder! The source is from you?"

Liu Ying became more and more confused: "What's wrong with me?"

Han Xinchang sighed and explained: "The big square formation is good, but if the enemy only attacks from one direction, wouldn't the musketeers on the other side be idle?"

"Besides, the large phalanx was easy to use in the past, but the production accuracy of the muskets was not good enough. The density of musketeers arrayed was high. Once the chamber exploded, one wound would be one piece!"

Liu Ying nodded slightly. Lao She's father was killed by a matchlock gun when the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing...

"Nowadays, with cheap coal and skilled workers, the chances of musket explosions are greatly reduced, so the musketeers can be arranged closer together, so that the bullets rain down in battle, regardless of whether they are light cavalry or armored cavalry. Put the gun down!"

"So, the old big phalanx is out of date!"

Han Xin paused, and then said:

"So during this period of time, I have been deducing at home, preparing to adjust the Musketeers from the four corners of the phalanx to the sides of the phalanx, so that the advantages of the muskets can be used to a greater extent!"

"When the cavalry of the Huns rushed over against the attack of the musketeers, the pikemen stepped forward to defend against the enemy, and the musketeers retreated to regroup. At the same time, the number of people in the depth of the phalanx was reduced, and the width of the horizontal front was increased..."

"Well, by the way, you can write to Lu Wan later and ask him to allocate another [-] muskets. I am going to reduce the number of pikemen. Anyway, the lethality of muskets is amazing. There are so many four-pound guns, unless they are suddenly attacked, the Huns will not be able to rush forward!"

"Therefore, it is useless to have too many pikemen..."

Liu Ying was full of bewilderment, and looked at Han Xin who was in high spirits in a daze.

As worthy of being a soldier, not only can he understand the tactics of the era of hot weapons, but the most important thing is to draw inferences from one instance and introduce new ones. I am afraid that in a few days, Liu Ying will not be able to say anything about queuing up and shooting, or even deep and interspersed tactics. No surprise at all...

"I think it's a little unfair to bring you out to fight... You should be allowed to be a teacher at Dahan Public School." Liu Ying murmured softly.

"Huh?" Han Xin tilted his head, a little confused.

Liu Ying laughed and danced:
"I mean let you become a teacher and train me 1 Han Xin..."

Han Xin smiled, shook his head and said:
"The art of war is very talented. It's not something that he can learn if you are willing to teach it...For example, Zhao Kuo in the Zhao Kingdom in the past, would his father still have reservations about him? But he still lost to Wu'an Jun... Well, don't say what you have and what you don't have, if you don't have the ability, you just don't have the ability!"

Oh, that is, if you dare to say that... Liu Ying said with a smile: "That's right, that's why you were asked to become a teacher at Dahan Public School. There are so many students to teach, so there must be one or two with extraordinary talents?"

"The important thing is that geniuses formulate strategic ideas, and ordinary people complete specific tactics. For example, the phalanx you improved, before the enemy has no means to resist the flintlock salvo, this is a trick that is popular all over the world!"

"The commander doesn't need to draw inferences like you do. As long as he can quickly deploy the formation step by step and launch an attack, it will be enough to win!"

Han Xin nodded: "It's not unreasonable, I'm thinking about it... Well, but before that, can I let Chen Jian go home and farm?"

Well, after all, he is just a councilor in this battle.

Liu Ying shook her head, the corners of her mouth raised: "No. But you can teach him...hehe."
