At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 235: Taking root in Guanzhong and the domineering general
Xianyang City, Duli.

This is the village closest to Chang'an City, which can be said to be at the feet of the emperor. The people in the village have seen too many big shots. The people here naturally have the arrogance of the people in the imperial city.

However, the people of Duli became much quieter during this period, because the court, which they seemed to be extremely powerful, was actually defeated.

Now they are under the control of the King of Han, and a new king has been replaced. Originally, it did not have much impact on country people like them, but the Li family of Duli was captured by the Han army. You must know that half of the land in Duli belongs to the Li family, so The eldest man arrested him as soon as he asked. This frightened the people of Duli, who usually did not even dare to go out of the village.

Later, the Han army also brought a large number of craftsmen to work in Duli every day, transforming Li's mansion into new houses, and also built many new houses. What made the villagers even more jealous was that these new houses were all There are three blue brick houses in one house, and even the stove, cowshed, and chicken coop are all made of blue bricks. It’s really a crime. Landlords and wealthy people don’t do this.

But soon the people of Duli became happy, because the Han army also hired them to do things, and each young man had 10 kilograms of grain, women and children had 8 kilograms of grain, and even children over 12 years old had 5 kilograms of grain.

Because of the Qin officials' expropriation, even the people in Duli did not have much food at home. The morale of being able to earn food at their doorstep naturally made the villagers overjoyed.

The people of Duli came together with their whole families. Even the children under 12 years old went to help the Han army. The Han soldiers also pretended not to know and took in these child laborers and worked for the Han army for a month. Duli's The people earned almost half a year's worth of food.

Moreover, when the Han Army was building their houses, they also used excess materials to help them repair their houses and furniture, and help them build new dams. The villagers' image of the Han Army suddenly changed. The Han Army did things fairly and helped them. Repair the house and no longer fear the Han army.

On this day, it was just dawn.

Qin Jiang immediately changed his words and said: "Hello, Mr. Huang Ting, hurry up, everyone come and see Mr. Huang Ting!"

Qin Jiang said leisurely: "From now on, the richest people in our Duli will be these Han soldiers."

Huang Lei's wife asked: "Can we cultivate such a big land?"

To be honest, when the Han army conquered the world, Guanzhong achieved the most successful land equalization. The prefectures and counties in Guanzhong had complete land registration and household registration, especially since the Qin people had been equalizing land for hundreds of years. Except for a few nobles and powerful people in Guanzhong, In addition, the distribution of fields is quite reasonable.

But now the Han army directly defeated the powerful nobles of the Qin State and distributed the land in their hands and part of the official land to the Han army. This is a good thing like Huang Lei and the others can directly take over the land as soon as they get married.

This is the case in this era. If there is no human race on the land, more children will be born. If there are more children, there will naturally be enough labor force.

Huang Lei smiled and said, "We are not generals, we are just ordinary soldiers under the King of Han. My name is Huang Lei. My comrades and I will live in Duli from now on. We are all fellow villagers."

"Go, go, what nonsense are you making, little old man Qin Jiang has seen all the generals."

The people of Duli also looked at the Han soldiers with envy. They had fields, brick houses, oxcarts, and a beautiful wife. They could imagine the best life, and the Han soldiers realized it. It was simply He is a winner in life.

After speaking, Huang Lei took out a letter of appointment and said: "This is my letter of appointment. From now on, I will be the chief of Du Li's pavilion."

The furniture in the brick house is all made, and Huang Lei and others can move in with their bags. Only textile machines, farm tools, tools, etc. are brought here by Huang Lei and others.

Huang Lei excitedly said to his wife: "This is our family's land. Seventy acres are used to grow grain, twenty acres are used to grow mulberry and hemp, and ten acres are used to grow vegetables. The King of Han said that Xianyang has a population of close to one million, and growing vegetables will be more profitable. "

The two of them were extremely happy when they looked at this brand new home and brand new furniture.

Huang Lei said with a smile: "Of course we can plant it. Although it is hard now, it will not be hard when we have children. When the time comes, our father and son will farm the land, and you will take your daughter to weave, and we will be able to live a good life."

Huang Lei and others brought the bullock cart into Duli, then led the cows to the cowshed, and placed their belongings into their new houses.

Huang Lei smiled and said: "You're welcome, I'll settle down first and invite you all to have a drink with us tonight."

All the villagers were driven out by Qin Jiang and lined up to shout: "Hello, Mr. Huangting."

Because it was winter at this time, the land was still deserted, but Huang Lei and his wife were extremely excited to see it.

More than ten oxcarts arrived outside Duli. There were a large number of farm tools, grain, and a beautiful little daughter-in-law sitting on the oxcarts. All the villagers were shocked and came to the village gate to watch.

Only then did Qin Jiang and the others know that these brick houses were built by the Han army for these soldiers.

At noon that day, the Han soldiers settled their belongings and then took their daughter-in-law to see their land.

The reason why in the feudal era there was a tradition of having many children and many blessings was that children soon became part of the labor force after they were born and could help their parents farm and support their families, which had real economic benefits.

Huang Lei is very clear-headed. Even if he wants to train cows and horses, he should train them for himself.

The two cuddled together happily, looking forward to the beautiful life in the future where men would farm and women would weave.

At noon, Huang Lei led his comrades to the door of the common people in Duli and said: "Today is the day we are getting married. We will serve the wedding wine and hope that all the fathers and uncles will not hesitate to show their appreciation. I also ask all the aunts to lend a hand and help."

Since there was a banquet, no one would object. Soon, women from each family came to help. Each family got some vegetables as gifts. Huang Lei also found a way to buy half a fan of pork. Several dishes at the banquet were meat dishes. Ten soldiers each set up a banquet.

All the people in Duli came here and had a lively meal.

Ever since Xu Fan annihilated Mengtian's tribe and Guanzhong, there has been no enough food for more than half a year. Today's meal is the most sumptuous meal that the people of Duli have eaten. After eating this banquet, the people of Duli Huang Lei and the others were formally accepted.

The next day, Huang Lei summoned Qing Zhuang and said: "Now that the imperial court is going to repair the Zheng Guo Canal, let's make it clear first that this is not to serve as a slave, but to be hired by the imperial court. You can earn 10 kilograms of grain per day. The quota is tentatively 20 people. In addition, the imperial court also hires diggers. You can earn 20 kilograms of grain per day from coal, but I agree with you, this is mining, there are certain risks, but if there is an accident, the court will compensate you for a working cow. "

"Tingzhang, I am willing to go mining!" A young man shouted.

Although Huang Lei said that mining is dangerous, he can earn 20 kilograms of grain every day, which is enough to feed a family, and if he dies, he can still lose his cattle, so no one is afraid of death. To put it bluntly, people in this era Most are not worth a plow ox.

"I'll go too!" More and more young athletes want to dig coal mines.

Huang Lei said: "There are only 20 places, we will draw lots to decide."

Huang Lei got 40 straws of different lengths and covered them with cloth. He picked the medium and long ones to build the Zhengguo Canal and the medium and short ones to dig mines.

Soon the results of the lottery came out. Li Chang Qin Jiang brought 20 people to the construction site of Zhengguo Canal, and Huang Lei brought 20 people to Lantian Coal Mine.

And pavilion chiefs like Huang Lei and retired soldiers of the Han army radiated throughout Guanzhong with Xianyang as the center, laying a strong foundation for the Han's rule in Guanzhong.

The words are divided into two parts.

The generals of the Han army were waiting for Zhou Zhang, Zhang Liang and other officials from all directions to return to Xianyang and elect Xu Fan as emperor again.

But Xu Fan did not let the generals here idle during this period. In the future, they would either become the masters of a country or become high-ranking officials of a party. Obviously, their knowledge reserves at this time would be difficult to meet their needs for future work. Xu Fan took advantage of this opportunity to gather a group of civil servants and generals with a relatively good reputation in the Qin State and set up an officer training class.

Yingbu was assigned to the advanced training class. The students in this class were basically at the level of Zhonglang General. These people who wanted to be ennobled were all at the level of Chehou. If they were to be enfeoffed outside, they were also princes and kings.

So Xu Fan found for them Qin officials above Jiuqing as political instructors, Wang, Meng, Li, Heng and other Qin generals as military instructors, and doctors from the Qin palace as academic instructors to teach them the laws of Qin.

But so many instructors and courses made Yingbu and other reckless people very dissatisfied. Forget about the generals of Da Qin. Although they were defeated generals, they really had something in their hands. It was because the two sides fought that they knew the strength of the Qin army. If the King of Han had not led them, they might not have been able to defeat the Qin army.

The so-called political instructors and cultural instructors, what is the use of learning these things?
Moreover, in the training class, everyone is a student, and there are no personal guards to take care of him. Every student has to clean up the house like an ordinary soldier, line up for exercises, and take turns to be the commander of the duty station to command himself. There are two classes every morning. , two classes at noon, and a certain amount of physical training in the evening. Many people feel uncomfortable training them like soldiers.

Therefore, they often contradict these instructors and even affect classroom discipline. They are all senior officials of the Han Dynasty. How dare those instructors control them. During class, Yingbu and others chatted unscrupulously.

On this day, Wang Zai explained the "Dragon Tao" among the "Six Tao" to Ying Bu and others, and discussed the composition of the army headquarters.

Wang Zai said: "Long Tao first stated that 'the king must have wings to become a mighty god'.

"The method of appointing femoral and humeral wings is to understand the destiny and not stick to one skill. Because they can assign posts, each can take advantage of their strengths. Although this is an ancient military manual, there are many references even now. Long Tao's strategy of using the femoral and humeral wings should be There are seventy-two people, including confidants, counselors, astronomy, geographical advantages, military skills, general food, Fenwei, flags and drums, limbs, generalists, powerful men, ears and eyes, minions, wings, wanderers, sorcerers, alchemists, and magicians. It has talents in various fields such as computing and is responsible for work in combat, propaganda, espionage, astronomy, communications, engineering, medical care, military supplies, etc.

It can be said that this year it is difficult for the armies of many princes to achieve such complete functions. "

Although Wang Zai was talking eloquently above, few of the students below were listening carefully. The reason was also very simple. The Han army also had various complete technical arms. Generally, they did not need to worry about these things. It's not serious, and they don't think that the "Six Tao" from hundreds of years ago can teach them how to fight.

"Brother Ji Bu, how strong are Zhao Tuo and the others? Is it true that the Southern Xinjiang Army has 50 soldiers?"

Yingbu wanted to go to southern Xinjiang to establish a country, and Zhao Tuo might be their biggest enemy, so Yingbu wanted to know whether the southern Xinjiang army really had so many troops.

Ji Bu said: "Those are all rumors. The emperor did send 50 people back then, but it was not 50 soldiers, but 30 ordinary people. Those were immigrants to the border areas, and most of them were our people from the six countries, and Southern Xinjiang has also experienced a major defeat. Adding in the people who have not adapted to the climate and other accidental diseases over the years, the number of 10 people still alive in Southern Xinjiang is already too much. Even if Zhao Tuo gathers the savages, he cannot exceed the number. troops.”

"Look, Meng Tian, ​​the commander-in-chief of the 30-strong army in Northern Xinjiang, is a general, while the 50-strong army in Southern Xinjiang is managed by a captain. The deputy commander, Zhao Tuo, is actually just a Longchuan order. Obviously, the First Emperor did not value Southern Xinjiang. He We just regard southern Xinjiang as a place to consume our soldiers from the six countries."

Ge Ying was surprised and said: "I didn't expect that the First Emperor would be so cruel. He would abandon hundreds of thousands of people at the border."

Ji Bu said: "So people like Zhao Tuo would rather mutiny than return to Da Qin. If they really come back, they will not help Da Qin fight, but will join our Han army for revenge."

Wang Zai talked eloquently above, and Yingbu and the others also talked eloquently below.

This made Wang Zai very angry. If the King of Han had not come to invite him in person, he would not have been willing to teach the generals of the Han army any art of war. This is their family's special skill, and the jobs of future generations can be handed over to others at will.

Historically, Li Shimin asked Li Jing to teach Hou Junji the art of war, but Li Jing taught him some superficial things and did not teach Hou Junji anything real. Hou Junji was furious and complained to Li Shimin, but Li Shimin was helpless about the matter. .

If Wang Zai hadn't wanted to better integrate his family into the Han Dynasty, he wouldn't have taught any art of war. The fact that people like Ying Bu didn't pay attention to what he taught made Wang Zai even more angry.

Wang Zai suppressed his anger and said: "The following students, if you don't want to listen, just go out and don't disturb other people's studies!"

However, Yingbu taunted him rudely: "You are a defeated general, and you are brave enough to come to this hellish place to be a student. Why should you, the defeated generals, be instructors? If you want to be taught, you are just a public instructor."

Wang Zai said angrily: "Without the King of Han, Duke Nai's 10,000 men can defeat your 30,000 horses."

Yingbu said with a smile: "Nai Gong has 30,000 horses. You can find 10,000 horses."

Now Wang Zai was so angry that he could not speak. Yingbu really had 30,000 subordinates, but he could not find 10,000 soldiers.

Seeing the angry Wang Zai, Yingbu continued: "Don't say that Nai Gong bullied you. Let's go out to fight. Only those standing are qualified to speak. If you let Nai Gong fall, Nai Gong will obey your orders from now on." From."

Seeing that things were getting serious, Ji Bu grabbed Ying and said, "Don't mess around. These people were invited by the King of Han with great effort. If you do this, be careful of the King of Han giving you a lesson."

It was only at this time that Yingbu was worried that things would get serious, but at this time Wang Zai was furious and said angrily: "Let's go to the school field to compete."

Now Yingbu couldn't get off the stage and said, "Just go!"

Then the two of them came to the school field next to the classroom and began to move their bodies. It is human nature to watch the excitement, and soon they were surrounded by a circle.

The two sides were already on the ropes, and they soon started fighting each other. Although Wang Zai was a general and had studied martial arts for many years, his martial arts skills were not as good as those of the talented Yingbu. The two fought for less than ten rounds, and Wang Zai He was knocked to the ground by Yingbu.

Now Wang Zai was too embarrassed to continue teaching students. He went back to his home in anger and never came to teach people like Yingbu again.

Ji Bu shook his head when he saw this scene and said, "Yingbu, you are in trouble."

Yingbu also realized this, but he certainly couldn't admit it at this time. Instead, he said: "He is just a defeated general."

Soon, the news about Yingbu's lesson to instructor Wang Zai reached Xu Fan's ears, and Wang Zai's letter of resignation also came to Xu Fan. Wang Zai said that his skills were low, he was a defeated general, and he could not teach the generals of the Han army. .

Xu Fan smiled bitterly and said: "No wonder there are people who say that arrogant soldiers are brave. If we don't get rid of their arrogance, we don't know how much trouble there will be in the local area."

All students in the advanced training class were notified to gather at the school grounds in the evening.

When Liu Bang got the news, he smiled and said to Peng Yue: "The King of Han is going to teach Yingbu a lesson. I heard that your martial arts are also good, but don't imitate Yingbu."

Peng Yue shook his head and said: "How dare you? He is the favorite general of the King of Han and has made great achievements. Even if he is domineering, the King of Han will tolerate it. My elder brother and younger brother joined later, so they can't compare!"

But Liu Bang said: "You can't belittle yourself. The King of Han has already said that your fleet will expand. If you stay in Guanzhong, you will definitely become a military giant, and you can also have the status of Yingbo in the future."

Peng Yue asked in a low voice: "What do you mean, brother, that the younger brother wants a false title?"

Liu Bang said: "It's up to you to choose. After all, one has a feudal kingdom and the other only has a title. It depends on what you think. Even my brother will find it difficult to give you direction."

"Brother, even if I give you an idea now and you are satisfied, your descendants may not be satisfied. You and I should not become enemies by then."

"Impossible!" Peng Yue no longer asked Liu Bang to come up with ideas, but made his own decisions. Is it better to become a naval marshal or to establish a vassal state?
