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

Chapter 75, "The death of Qin must lead to Chu" The curse of the Chu king

But Xu Fan quickly thought of a workaround. He couldn't remember the art of war, but he had played too many military games in later generations, such as "The Legend of Cao Cao", "Horse and Blade", "Napoleon", "Three Kingdoms", A large number of strategy and war games such as "The Heroes of the Three Kingdoms".

Xu Fan simply made three simple sandboxes and placed them in three rooms, one in each room. There was also a sandbox in the center for watching the battle. He then used wood to create models of chess pieces representing cavalry and infantry, and formulated the combat plan. According to the rules, a simple sandbox game was born.

Taking the wars of this era as an example, Chen Lin and the others then replaced the generals of both sides to command the armies. Although such a sandbox game was cumbersome, Chen Lin and the others soon came to like this kind of game. It would be difficult for men to refuse such a military game. Ji Bu and the others would play a game almost every day after training.

Xu Fan was the best at playing these sandbox games. He often used tactics that only appeared in later generations to kill them without leaving a single piece of armor behind, because he regarded this sandbox game as a war, but Xu Fan only played it as a game, so that Chen Linjibu None of them wanted to play with Xu Fan anymore. There were too many strange tricks.

The quality of individual soldiers in the rebel army is improving, and the organization level is also improving. Even the commanders are slowly accumulating experience, and the standardization of the entire rebel army is constantly improving.

But Xu Fan understood that if he really wanted to create an army with a combat effectiveness that surpassed that of the Qin Army, he must also give each soldier enough benefits to make them forget death in order to protect their own interests. And the martyrs who wanted to do this for future generations have already set an example for Xu Fan, that is Juntian.

The Qin officials in Chen County were wiped out by the rebels. The disappearance of these senior officials in Chen County vacated a large amount of land in Chen County, which gave Xu Fan the conditions to equalize the land.

So Xu Fan summoned the entire rebel leadership and expressed his thoughts.

Ji Bu laughed and said: "It should be like this. Only when the land is divided will the soldiers be willing to fight to the death with us. Even if the news spreads, more people will join our rebel army."

Military generals such as Chen Lin and Yingbu agreed with this idea, which could obviously expand their military's influence.

But Zhou Zhang said excitedly: "Absolutely not, Lord, we don't have enough land. The entire Chen County only has 2300 million acres of land, but three percent of it belongs to the common people, and 700% belongs to Chen County's powerful nobles. As for the land, only % of the official land that really belongs to the Qin State is about million acres. Not to mention that our rebels have to rely on these fields to maintain huge expenses. Even if your lord really wants to divide the land, this is not enough. If If you talk about allocating land but fail to do so, the damage to morale will be even greater."

Regardless of the fact that the rebels were under the banner of punishing Qin, Qin's official system in Chen County just drove out Qin officials and allowed locals to occupy the official system, while Qin's war machine remained.

Xu Fan was from a later generation, and he was used to the state of big government in later generations. He also knew that the system of Qin was the wartime state of later generations. This system was still needed to provide strong combat effectiveness for the rebels during wartime.

But to maintain this huge war machine, the consumption is huge. The rebels maintained this system in Chen County by confiscating the land of Qin officials. About 700% of the revenue from the 4 million acres of official land in Chen County was lost to these officials. The official system was consumed.

If these lands were allocated to soldiers by Xu Fan, according to the 2.3 soldiers, each soldier would be allocated 100 acres, which would mean that 230 million acres of official land had been allocated. It seems that there is still a lot of land left in Chen County, but these 2.3 acres Soldiers consume 1.5 buckets of food every day, and one war horse consumes food equivalent to 6-7 soldiers. This is equivalent to Chen County having to feed 4 mouths, consuming 6000 shi of food every day, and consuming nearly 200 million shi a year. of grain, and these grains require the output of almost 400 million acres of land (the other half belongs to tenants). Adding these two together, it can be concluded that raising soldiers consumes all the output of Chen County’s official land, and only relies on Chen County’s local land tax. It would be difficult to maintain the county's huge war machine unless Xu Fan went out to fight to support the war. Zhou Zhang, as the chief historian of the Shang Guozhu General Mansion, knew the financial situation of the rebel army best. The huge expansion of the army had already made Chen County unable to make ends meet. If the land was divided, Chen County could not support such a large army.

Chen Xiao also said calmly: "General, even if you reluctantly divide the land, it will be difficult to maintain it. Chen County used to be the core area of ​​Chu State, and it took the longest to develop, with only 2300 million acres of land. But others like Jiujiang County and Wu County are Jiangdong lands that have not been developed for a long time. There is not much land at all. According to your assessment, General, if we want a million-strong army, we need 5000 million acres of land. It is impossible for us to get so much land. Of land.”

Xu Fan smiled and said: "You said it yourself, as long as there are 5000 million acres of land, the Chu State can recruit millions of troops. If the King of Chu and the nobles were willing to use these 5000 million acres of land, in the Chu State After recruiting millions of troops, can Qin still destroy Chu?"

"As the largest country in the world, with 5000 miles of land and mountains, Chu State really can't even take out these 5000 million acres of land? I'm probably not afraid. I was unwilling to take it at first, but now the entire Chu State of 5000 miles of land has become I have married the Qin State, I wonder if those stingy Chu nobles ever regretted it!"

Zhou Zhang and others are settling a small score, but Xu Fan knows the potential of this land. There are only 60 people in a province, and there are more wild animals than people. If you tell him that there is not enough land, this joke is not funny at all. Land is not No, it’s just that most of them are not in the hands of the people.

The Chu State now has two forces, one is the power of powerful nobles, and the other is the power of ordinary people who are dissatisfied with the Qin State. When choosing between these two forces, Xu Fan will of course choose the latter, because he is familiar with the latter. His world also gave Xu Fan the best example to stop this power. All he had to do was copy the answer.

Zhou Zhang looked decadent. Of course the nobles of the Chu State regretted it. The Qin State did not defeat Xiang Yan's army when it destroyed Chu. It ended with catching the King of Chu carrying the cud.

There are still more than 60 lords in the Chu State. They want to join the Qin State. Unfortunately, Ying Zheng refuses to give the King of Qi even a 500-mile fiefdom. How can he tolerate so many lords in the territory?

After wiping out the main force of the Chu State, the First Emperor sent his troops to continue southward to annihilate the feudal forces of the Chu State. These local forces that had been entrenched in the Chu State for hundreds of years were uprooted by the First Emperor.

"Although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will definitely die." This is not the cry of the people of Chu State, because Chu State does not belong to them, so the people of Chu naturally cannot have any hatred for the country's subjugation. This was the last cry and curse of the Chu princes for the destruction of their country and family.
