Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 97 Armament Expansion and Preparation for War ([-]-character chapter)

Chapter 100

"Weak countries have no diplomacy, and diplomacy is not about eloquence, but strength. Whoever has a big fist can gain the moral upper hand in negotiations."

Ran Ming looked at Ran Min and said, "Our Wei State is no longer the original Wei State."

Ran Ming was right. As the news spread that the weak defeated the strong and defeated the 14 Yan army, Wei Tong, the governor of Yanzhou, sent envoys to Ye and returned to Ye when Ran Ming conquered Guanggu City.Luozhou Biejia Chen Xun is also attached.

The point is that these prefects and governors have seen that Jin has no intention of going north. If they continue to hang on this crooked neck tree in Jin, they will die without a place to bury them.The state of Wei was different from the past. The 14 Yan army was wiped out. They didn't want to die, so they had to surrender.

Ran Ming said slowly: "Father can now send an envoy to contact Cui Tong, the governor of Bingzhou. If Cui Tong is willing to join, he will forgive his previous betrayal and give him the false title of county magistrate. You don't have to think about getting promoted and getting rich. It can guarantee his wealth and honor for the rest of his life. If he is obsessed with obsession, then you are welcome. Immediately order the general Dong Run to lead the infantry and the cavalry general Zhang Wen to attack Jinyang, and kill all of his nine clans. Deterring all directions..."

Lu Hu, the general who conquered the captives of the State of Wei, secretly accepted the surrender of the Jin Dynasty and hijacked the governor of Luozhou of the State of Wei to surrender to the Jin Dynasty. Zheng Xi was executed in Jiankang.At that time, Yecheng was besieged by Yan State, Yao Yizhong, Fu Jian of the Qiang nationality, Liu Xian of the Xiongnu, and Shi Kun of the Jie nationality, and Ran Min had no time for others.As a result, other states and counties also defected.

If Cui Yao, Ran Min would also hate him very much.After all, because of Cui Cheng's betrayal, Wei State lost the support of the Bingzhou Army's 10-step cavalry, and Ran Min was defeated. As a result, the chariot general Hu Kui died in battle. [-] people including Xu Ji, Che Qi Hu Mu, Li Lin in the middle school, Lu Chen in the middle school, Wang Yu in the Shaofu, Liu Qin in the Shangshu, and Liu Xiu were killed.

Ran Min thought for a while and said: "Dong Run and Zhang Wen's troops only have 5000 troops, and their armor is not complete, and their morale is low. They are not Cui Tu's opponents at all."

Ran Mingdao: "When I came here, I passed through Licheng to subdue a begging army. The number was about 2000. They were all elite and fierce soldiers. With a little training, they could become elite troops. They could kill the begging army under Liu Jian Supplemented to the command of General Dong, the servant's Huben Guard also accompanied by 2 cavalry, which can be transferred to the command of Zhang Cheqi. In addition, the father can recruit troops in Wei County. The servant brought [-] shi of grain, enough for [-] people Support for two months, calculating the time is enough for the two generals Dong and Zhang to conquer Bingzhou, and take the treasury of Bingzhou for my Wei!"

Ran Min hesitated and said: "You talk nonsense, wouldn't Minger's actions be regarded as a father and unrighteous?"

Ran Ming said angrily: "Sima lost his morals and had no faith in the world. First, there was an idiot emperor and treacherous officials in power. Corrupt officials and corrupt officials were rampant. The people of the world have long complained. Moreover, the Eastern Jin Dynasty established the country for decades. They had no intention of going to the north. As a result, no reinforcements were given to the soldiers during the bitter battle. As soon as Zu Ti occupied Yuzhou, Sima Rui sent people to pick peaches! Is such a court worthy of our allegiance?
Ran Ming went on to say: "How did the father treat the Jin Dynasty? Please surrender on the table, but the Jin Dynasty ignored it. Not only that, but also ordered Yao Gezhong, Murong Jun and others to attack the father. They Jin Dynasty can accept Duanbu Xianbei Duan Kan was attached to him, and Duan Kan was granted the title of Duke of Qi. He did not send a soldier, a soldier, or an official, and let him govern Qingzhou as his own independent kingdom. The Jin Dynasty could accommodate Fu Jian of the Di clan, Murong Hao, and Tuoba Xianbei. Even Lu Hu, the servant of the Di family with three surnames, can accept him, but he can’t accommodate his father! Is such a court worthy of his father’s loyalty? The king treats his ministers like brothers and sisters, and the ministers treat him like his heart; The ministers are like dogs and horses, and the ministers regard the emperor as the people of the country; the emperor regards the ministers as the soil, and the ministers regard the emperor as the enemy. It is inappropriate to come and not to go, the Jin Dynasty cannot accommodate the father, why should the father be loyal to the Jin Dynasty?"

Ran Min fell into deep thought. In fact, he is not stupid, he has already been heartbroken by Jin Chao.

Ran Minji saw the wolfish ambitions of the Murong tribe, and he saw the ambitions of the Di people, but why didn't any of the officials of the Jin Dynasty understand?The Murong tribe independently established the Yan State, and the Di tribe also established the Qin State.The Tuoba Ministry also established Daiguo.Why couldn't the Jin Dynasty accommodate Zhang's Liang State and its own Wei State?
Ran Min was also thinking about this issue, but he never understood it.

Not only did he not understand, even Ran Ming did not understand.What did Ran Min do wrong? He started contacting the Jin Dynasty before proclaiming himself emperor. They didn’t accept it. What can you do?Kong occupies the name of righteousness, but despicably separates Ran Min's various ministries, causing the entire once powerful state of Wei to fall apart.

After a long time, Ran Min was still thinking about it, and Ran Ming didn't force Ran Min anymore.

Ran Ming knows that as a person of this era, Ran Min is actually as stupid as Yue Fei.In fact, if it were another person, Ran Min would definitely not be able to go to the end of the mountain. A general who relied on fighting to raise his fortune, and a hero who spent his whole life in war, Ran Min has no reason not to see the emptiness of Luozhou, although At the beginning, Luozhou belonged to the Jin Dynasty in name, but in fact there were only less than [-] county soldiers.Most of the counties are useless, even if Ran Min only needs to send a thousand-man army.Luozhou can be captured in the shortest possible time.

Ran Min was just scruples, scruples about a status issue.

He feels that he is a Han Chinese, a hero who stands up to heaven and earth, and he should not attack Han Chinese with the same black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin.Not only is Luozhou empty, but even Wei Tong in Yanzhou is the same. Wei Tong only has [-] soldiers and horses. What is [-] soldiers and horses enough to do in troubled times?It is estimated that Ran Min does not need to send troops, but just shows his banner, and he can take Yanzhou without bloodshed.Bingzhou iron cavalry is famous all over the world, but Ran Min refused to take this famous source of horses in the world, and would rather use infantry to attack cavalry, because he knew that he was a Han Chinese, and Han Chinese should not attack his robes!
But Ran Min's scruples did not usher in the result he hoped for. He gave up Yan, Luo, Bing, Xu, Yu, and Wuzhou. However, the Jin Dynasty waited until Yan State occupied the Central Plains and moved its capital to Guanggu. The country is at war!
Moreover, Ran Min wanted to preserve the blood of the Han people. Wei Tong surrendered to Yan, and Cui Tong also surrendered to Yan in the end, except for Ran Min's own resistance.During the process of Yan State's occupation of the Central Plains, there was only one resistance. However, it was not the Han people, but Duan Kan of Duanbu Xianbei attacked. Duan Kan used his [-] cavalry to fight against Murong Ke, and unexpectedly defeated the famous general of Yan State. He led a hundred cavalry to flee to Lingzhi City and defend it.

At that time, if the Jin Dynasty sent a partial division, it could recapture the Central Plains.

From Ran Ming's point of view, the Sima family in the Jin Dynasty did not have any capable people, and Sima Yi's descendants had no ability at all except to know how to fight in the nest.Even the emperor of the Sima family is not as courageous as Lao Jiang!

Ran Ming suddenly recalled the record in the history books that Zhang Yu, the governor of Yuzhou, had a quarrel with Xie Shang, and eventually rebelled, and became self-reliant according to Xuchang.Ran Ming can't remember the time clearly, but for Wei Guo, Zhang Yu is also a good pawn. If Zhang Yu is also recruited, Yuzhou, Luozhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Bingzhou are in hand, Wei Guo can dominate the north up!

Just when Ran Ming was thinking about how to make Zhang Yu return to Wei, Ran Min suddenly said: "If we attack Bingzhou, Dong Run and Zhang Wen may not have enough strength!"

Ran Ming was overjoyed, which meant that Ran Min had already awakened.The future of Wei State can be bright!
Ran Ming said: "There are a lot of refugees now. As long as there is food, we can recruit enough troops. We can expand the army in large numbers."

Ran Ming was so excited that he almost said that power came from the barrel of a gun.

Ran Min pondered: "The newly recruited soldiers are not good at fighting, I'm afraid they won't be of great use, training also takes time, but our country of Wei just doesn't have the time, and the barbarians won't give us this time."

Ran Ming said: "Actually, it's not difficult. We can replace training with combat! Replace training with actual combat! Use land rewards to stimulate the morale of soldiers. The military field policy implemented by my son in Qingzhou means that every sergeant can get a field Fifty acres of military land."

Ran Min looked at Ran Ming strangely. He didn't know why his son was so stupid before, but now he is so flexible. He not only knows how to fight wars, but also manages the country, makes money, and invents, especially the saddle and stirrup.It is simply a sharp weapon for cavalry. In this way, the combat effectiveness of Han cavalry can be greatly increased, and the time for cavalry training can also be shortened.In at most one year, an ordinary person can be trained into an elite cavalryman!
Ran Min even suspects that there is nothing in this world that Ran Ming doesn't know!Especially the military book written by Ran Ming obtained by Zhang Ping, the "36 Strategies" is simply a treasure for military strategists. Even though he knows most of the strategies in it, he understands the truth in it, but he has not summarized it systematically.

Ran Ming explained: "As long as you join the Wei army, you can get 25 acres of land. After five years of service, the land belongs to the sergeant. But those who surrender, fight cowardly, run away, or disobey orders will be dismissed from the army and their land will be taken back." In this way, the soldiers will be loyal to Wei to the end, even if they run out of ammunition and food, even if they are surrounded, they will not surrender. They will not rebel. Because no place, no force will give them such a favorable policy .Soldiers who are disabled due to war can get 25 mu of Yongye land, can get pensions, and can get tax exemption and tax reduction treatment. The land can be passed on to descendants. In addition to the industrial land, another 25 mu of pension land will be obtained. In this way, if a soldier dies on the battlefield, his family members can get [-] mu of fertile land.

In this troubled world, human life is very worthless, and a young and strong slave can't even sell hardware.But the [-] mu of land given to them by the ministers has a market price of one mu of good land and two to five pieces of hardware, which is equivalent to [-] to [-] yuan (I have not found out the value of the land in the Yonghe period, it was calculated based on the land price in the Yongjia period, please don’t complain Me,), in this way, after a soldier joins the army, they get a reward worth between two hundred and five hundred gold.

In fact, Ran Ming’s system of military honor fields is the Fubing system in the early Tang Dynasty, but Ran Ming changed it a bit. The lure of the benefits of the land, everyone scrambled to make meritorious deeds, glorified the lintel, and stood out from the crowd. That's why the Tang army fought eastward and westward, and was invincible!However, Ran Ming used the professional soldier policy, awarding the land to his family members for planting!
Ran Min was secretly startled when he heard this, this trick is so powerful, it is even more effective than his official appointment as a waiter in the customs.Ran Min asked another question, "You have nearly 300 soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, and you need at least [-] million mu of land. How can you have so much land?"

Ran Ming said: "It's not that Qingzhou doesn't have none, but there are a lot of them. There are a lot of wasteland and unowned fields. In fact, there has never been a county with less than 65 million mu of arable land in Qingzhou's 100 counties. So roughly speaking, Qingzhou has at least 500 acres. Tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, but most of these fertile lands are in the hands of the aristocratic clans, but these aristocratic clans have moved south, so the land will naturally not be reserved for them. If no one has cultivated it for more than five years, it will be taken back by the government and distributed. When the laws and regulations were promulgated in Qingzhou, all the title deeds promulgated by the Jin Dynasty would be invalidated, and there was a time limit of three months to go to the government to renew the title deeds.”

Ran Ming then smiled and said: "There will be land, the world is so big, Qingzhou can't be resettled, we go to Luozhou, Luozhou is gone, go to Bingzhou. Bingzhou is gone, go to Youzhou, the purpose of arming such a strong army is In order to open up the frontier and crack the soil!"

Ran Ming then told Ran Min about the various policies implemented in Qingzhou. Ran Min nodded secretly. With the benefits of land, tax reduction and exemption, and the name of a martyr, the incense will be enshrined forever. How can such an army soldier not fight desperately? , not for the righteousness of the nation, but also for the sake of oneself. An army that is willing to risk its life is the most terrifying.

I did the same thing myself, but it was not perfect. The original order to kill Hushou relied on exchanging Hushou for gold, silver and food, and the civil servants were promoted to three levels.Military officers pay homage to the generals, relying on hatred to arouse the hatred of the soldiers towards the Hu people and inspire all the soldiers.

At this time, Ran Min had dispelled his fear of Ran Ming, and the father and son were discussing the matter of military expansion together.

Ran Min said: "If this method is used, the father can expand the army by 5 horses within three months! It's just that food is a big problem!"

Ran Ming smiled and said: "Father, don't worry, Liu Yuan promised to give us [-] shi of grain, which is enough to support the acquisition of Bingzhou. Chen Ying, the Chen clan of Qimen, Xinhui County, Jin Dynasty, also donated [-] shi of grain to his ministers. Now the food is on the way, and it should arrive in Yecheng within half a month or a month. While the father is targeting Bingzhou, he can also send envoys to Zhang Yu to persuade him to join us. In an invincible position, there are Luo and Yu prefectures in the south as a strategic buffer zone, Yan and Qing prefectures in the front line, as solid as Mount Tai. In the west, an alliance with Xiqin is formed, as long as you concentrate on dealing with Yan! "
