Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 410 Sending Troops to Erlong Mountain

Wang Dahan's name is Han, but he is not stupid.

Wang Dahan asked: "Who distributed the food? How can the government be so kind?"

Baozheng curled his lips and said, "I'm afraid you don't know yet, the prefect of Murong has done a lot of evil, and he has already gone back to his hometown. Now there is a new government, a new atmosphere, let me tell you, hurry up, you won't be able to get it if it's too late." Don't blame me until now."

It was still early when Wang Dahan arrived, there were dozens of carts at the entrance of the village, dozens of soldiers, and two clerks in the yamen.

Checked Wang Dahan, Wang Dahan's wife and two children.

"Wang Dahan, your family has [-] catties of sorghum, [-] catties of millet, and [-] catties of pickles. Do you want them?" asked the clerk.

"Get it, since the government issued it, why didn't you get it." Wang Dahan said.

"However, your family needs to send out a job and go to the road construction site for two months. You and your wife can either go. If anyone goes, they will be given a shovel or a hoe, and a cotton coat." The clerk said.

The cotton coat and tools are placed next to it. The cotton coat is very beautiful. The army green coat reaches the knees and feels very thick.The shovels and hoes are average, they look like they were made by a blacksmith shop, but these days, ironware is a specialty, and the price is also expensive, and you can't get it for less than a hundred pennies.

"Then what about my wife and I going?" Dahan asked.

"You and your daughter-in-law are both going, so give me an extra cotton coat, give me an extra set of tools, and take care of the food on the construction site."

"Okay, my wife and I will go." Wang Dahan said.

There is nothing to do in the long winter, and I just quarrel at home. It is better to go to the construction site to eat and drink, and get an extra set of clothes and an extra set of tools.

Wang Dahan and his wife moved the relief food and materials back home twice.

Wang Dahan went to ask his father in the front yard again. When Wang Dahan came to the front yard, his father was looking for the household registration book there.

"Father, do you have any food at home?"

"Father said, your father and I are 55 years old, not too old, and a strong laborer. My family has three hundred catties of grain, and I will go to the construction site alone." Dad said.

Dahan was very happy and said, "That's great. It just so happens that the two children stay at home, so my mother will take care of them."

"That's no problem, you come here to help get food."

"Okay, okay." Dahan helped.

Chai Lin took Xiao Rang and others to visit many villages to understand the needs of the people.

Xiao Rang said: "My lord, the distribution of grain can only alleviate this situation in the short term. What we really need to do is to return the land seized by the government to the people and let them cultivate it. In addition, the announcement is to be issued, and the agricultural tax will be restored. Ten taxes are one, and the cover will not charge too much."

Chai Lin said: "Not all the land seized by the government is in the hands of the magistrate, but officials at all levels below, as well as wealthy and powerful families. If you act too hastily, you will have big problems."

Xiao Rang nodded to express his understanding. Judging from the current situation, even if the Cangzhou Army is so powerful, it is impossible to completely break away from the support of the powerful families. Don't even think about getting the support of powerful households.

"The agricultural tax will be lowered first. As for the landless farmers, we can adopt another method and immigrate to Dead Leaf Island. Each person will be given [-] acres of land to plant soybeans and potatoes. The land on Dead Leaf Island is the same as that on Yangma Island." , only enjoys the right to plant and lease, but cannot sell. The area of ​​Dead Leaf Island has caught up with the entire Jingdong Road, and it can completely resettle the landless farmers in Qingzhou." Chailin said.

Xiao Rang shook his head and said, "Withered Leaf Island has a long and cold winter, and not many people are willing to emigrate there. Even if it is forced emigration, it will be difficult to form a scale in the short term."

"That's simple. We can't do it in the north. Let's go south to Qiongzhou Island. Qiongzhou is summer all year round, and rice can be harvested twice or even three times a year. When we arrive in Qiongzhou, we can implement public ownership of land, that is, people are given rations from birth. The ration land will be taken back after death. Qiongzhou has a vast area and there are many places suitable for farming." Chailin said.

Xiao Rang said: "To develop Qiongzhou, the pirates and savages in Nanman must be wiped out first, otherwise the common people will not be able to farm with peace of mind."

"There are always more solutions than difficulties. We have a powerful naval fleet. At that time, we will build another fleet in Qiongzhou. Not only pirates, but also big cannibals are also ambitious and powerful. We have to deal with them one by one," said Chailin. .

"It makes sense." Xiao Rang said.

Chai Lin said: "Think far ahead, but do it right now. Relieve the refugees first and resume production. Let's work together."

Qingzhou is full of waste, and there are too many things.

It is mainly three yuan, the first is disaster relief, and the relief of poor people.Second, reduce taxes and fees.Commercial and agricultural taxes have all been restored to normal levels.Third, return the land.The land collected by the former prefect of Murong will be returned if the original owner can be found.

In fact, Chailin has an idea not to take out the land from the big households and distribute it to the farmers, because the development of industry requires cheap labor.

As for the immigration, it can't be taken into account in the short term, because Dead Leaf Island is still in the cold winter.

Three days later, at the Qingzhou Military Camp Campus.

Thousands of troops and horses gathered for battle.

Chai Lin appointed Lin Chong as the chief general, Qin Ming as the deputy general, and Xiao Rang as the military adviser.7000 heavy cavalry, [-] light cavalry, [-] infantry, [-] heavy soldiers, a total of [-] troops conquered Erlong Mountain.

The three took orders and led the army to set off.

The flags cover the sky and the sun, and the horns blaze the sky.

The distance from Qingzhou City to Erlong Mountain is still very far, about [-] or [-] miles.

The army marched quickly all the way, and arrived at Erlong Mountain the next afternoon.

Lin Chong, Qin Ming and Xiao Rang watched from the foot of the mountain.

Qin Ming said: "This Erlong Mountain is extremely steep. There is a road up the mountain, and there is two miles of land. There are hundreds of acres of flat land on the top of the mountain, where the bandit camp was built."

Lin Chong felt apprehensive when he saw it. He was leading heavy armored cavalry, and he was best at charging on the plains.But in the mountains, it is useless.

Shouldn't a mountain battalion or a special force be sent for this kind of thing? Why did you send your own team of heavy cavalry.

Lin Chong asked, "Military Master, what good strategy do you have?"

Xiao Rang said: "General, do you feel puzzled, why did your lord send heavy armored cavalry into the mountains to suppress bandits?"

"That's right, we have to carry out the military order. We should think of ways." Lin Chong said.

Xiao Rang said: "This is the master training General Lin and General Qin. Suppressing the bandits seems easy, but in reality it is very difficult. Once the soldiers come to the bandits, they will not be able to hold on. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack. One man guards the pass and ten thousand men cannot open it. We don’t even want to fight with thousands of people, the current method is to gather hunters and woodcutters on the spot to form a temporary team to help us attack the mountain from a small path.”

Lin Chong said: "It makes sense. Lu Fang quickly summoned the local hunter woodcutters and asked them to assist in attacking the mountain."

"Yes." Lu Fang took the order and left.

Qin Ming said: "This Deng Long is very annoying. Once the army arrives, he will hide on the mountain and won't come down. It is impossible for our thousands of troops to surround him all day long."
