The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 30 Deep Cultivation in Fuling County ([-])

Chen Shi began to attack, and before noon, Qinjiabao was captured.It took less than three hours in total.

"Ah, oh, I'm upset! I'm really upset! I'm not even sweating! My Zhangba Snake Spear didn't drink enough blood, so I surrendered? I'm so spineless! I'm spineless! Brother, let's find another Playing with a bigger stockade!"

"It's good, it's good, you've finally joined the battle and killed someone. Haven't seen Guowei sulking by the side?"

"Oh, that's right, hahahaha, Guowei, I'm sorry. Brother, I accidentally used too much force and broke the stockade. I didn't lead you to lead the Wudang flying army to climb the back mountain and copy the enemy's back route opportunity. Hahahaha~~~"

"It's none of your business, it's not that Uncle Yong commanded properly."

"Hey, hey, you two, stop fighting. I didn't see my brother, I'm going to count it as a trophy, and my head will explode."

The battle is over.The losses and gains of the party must be carefully calculated.

Although the attack on the stronghold was extremely smooth, it was basically a wave of flow.But there were still some casualties on our side.

Two people were killed by stones thrown from the wall of the village, and five were killed in the street fighting after they entered the gate of the village.In addition, there are more than 20 wounded.That's all the loss.

As for the harvest, it is still considerable.

Qinjiabao has a population of 320 and seven.In the battle, more than a hundred strong men were killed.The rest were all taken captive.This is more than [-] slaves!
In addition, there are grains stored in the fort, totaling more than [-] shi of various cured meats, more than [-] shi of rice noodles, more than [-] shi of fern root powder, and more than [-] scattered five baht coins.In short, compared with the investment, the harvest is a big profit.

Regarding the disposal of more than [-] captives, Guan Yi discussed for a long time with Guan Suo, Yang Zong, Huang Chong, Liao Yong and others.

First of all, the parties quickly reached a consensus on the disposal of the captives, big and small: all of them were cut off.Moreover, it was used by ordinary elites in the captives. By the way, as a time traveler, Guan Yi also asked the bottom-level people in the captives to hold a criticism meeting-to educate and publicize the masses of the people. Almost every red Things that all traversers have to do.

The subsequent disposal of the more than 120 captives made Guan Yi difficult.

Yang Zong: Oh, give it to me?No no no.The high mountains and dense forests in my Badong County are barren, and the existing arable land is not enough to distribute to the Han people. I will take these captives back, and the general will eat me later.

Liao Yong: Prefect, our tung oil workshop does need a lot of labor now, but we can't absorb so many people no matter what.Take all these people back, not to mention the question of how many more people will be sent to guard them.It's okay to run away, but if we don't leave, so many people will overwhelm us in Fuling County.

Guan Suo: Don't look at me.Chinuer, Third Uncle, I am tired of being in Nanzhong.I want to stay with you to play around, but I don't plan to go back to Nanzhong for the time being.Even if you go back to Nanzhong, how much food will it cost to bring so many people back so far?

(Guan Yi: Did you come to me to hide your love debt?)

Huang Chong: What?Why are you all looking at me?Well, it is not impossible to bring back all the CDs, but the journey is far away, and the prefect is required to send elite escorts—the cost will be high.Let me be clear first, Shangshutai did not prepare this budget for me.

Hey!In such an era when population is a scarce resource, no one wants to take prisoners?

If this problem happened in Soochow, it would indeed be a bigger problem: everyone is rushing to get it.I want everything.Then there will be fights.

Speaking of it, Soochow has fallen into a vicious circle since Sun Quan officially proclaimed the emperor and founded the country: Cao Wei invaded, and he must have fought vigorously.Actively attacking Cao Wei is usually weak.The Jiangdong aristocratic family thinks all day long about how to keep their one-acre three-point land, or how to fight for more voice in the Eastern Wu court——Cao Wei, such a strong enemy, it’s fine if others don’t come to fight It's okay, why go to provoke others if you have nothing to do.

But the Jiangdong aristocratic family also took the initiative to fight passionately.That is to conquer Shanyue - because, after conquering Shanyue and breaking through Shanyue's stockade, many people can be plundered, and these people can be turned into serfs to enrich their own manors.So after the founding of Soochow, the second and third generations of generals, such as Lu Kang, Shi Ji, Liuping, etc., all grew up in the process of conquest of Shanyue.

This is the sorrow of the Shu Han.

The population of Soochow is also small, but they are located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and there are land suitable for farming everywhere, and what is lacking is people.As long as there are people, no amount can be picked up.Therefore, the Jiangdong gentry like to conquer Shanyue the most-to arrest people.It's not enough to catch people in the mainland, and the furthest people went to Taiwan to catch people.In fact, since the founding of Soochow, its ruling class's thirst for population has never weakened.

The Shuhan is different, there are too many mountains.

Relatively speaking, the situation in Yunnan is better. Although there are many mountains, the mountains are relatively gentle and the soil layer is thick enough. Moreover, there are many intermountain basins and lakes in the Hengduan Mountains.Terraced fields can be built along the mountains to grow rice.And Berkshire is a tragedy, whether it's Fuling County or Badong County, or Zangcang County in the south and Wuling County in Soochow.The mountains here are extremely steep and almost vertical, not to mention the barren soil, and the bottom is all limestone, which cannot hold water.There is no way to open up terraces.

(Now these places are tourist attractions, such as Zhangjiajie.)
Compared with Shanyue, the fundamental reason why the Han and Wu countries seldom took the initiative to attack and plunder the Wuxi barbarians in the Wuling Mountains is this: there is too little arable land, and people don’t know what to do if they capture them. placement.

The only exception to the Shu Han is in Hanzhong.

When Cao Cao conquered Hanzhong, Wu Dou Mijiao advocated that Lu surrendered after receiving the guarantee of free preaching.20 people in Hanzhong County were moved to the Guanzhong area by Cao Cao.Later, after Liu Bei took Hanzhong from Cao Cao, all he got was an open space.

And the Hanzhong Basin is a rare piece of land suitable for cultivation in the Qinling Mountains.Therefore, regardless of whether it was Zhuge Liang’s Northern Expedition or Jiang Wei’s Northern Expedition, as long as the conditions were met, the Shu Han would forcibly relocate the people in the Yongliang area of ​​​​Cao Wei to the Hanzhong Basin when they retreated—there is a large amount of arable land waiting for population development.

Then someone asked, why didn't the Shu Han move the Wuxi barbarians to Hanzhong?On the one hand, it is because of the cost problem: it is easy to destroy a stockade, but it is too expensive to transport these thousands of people to such a distant place.Moreover, once the Shu Han adopted the policy of Soochow and continued to plunder the people in the Wuxi Man area for a long time, wouldn't they unite to resist?In the deep mountains and old forests, the guerrillas who beat you everywhere will cry you to death!At that time, the Shuhan government will station troops in the Wuling Mountains for a long time.This cost is skyrocketing-and the Shu Han itself is stretched out, the troops defending Hanzhong have been cut and cut again, and a large number of troops must be stationed in the Wuling Mountains for a long time?It's no wonder that General Jiang Wei didn't jump up and chop you up.

The reason is that the regime structure of Shuhan is different from that of Soochow.The army of Shu Han belongs entirely to the state.In Soochow, in addition to the country's army, there are a lot of private soldiers from various aristocratic families.Ordinary Shanyue people invaded, and the private soldiers of Soochow's aristocratic families were pacified.

On the other hand, the ethnic minorities in the Southwest are generally not very aggressive.It does not pose a fatal threat to the Shu Han regime.Only Cao Wei can threaten the survival of the Shu Han regime.Therefore, there is no need to make the ethnic relations in the territory too rigid.Be gentle, even hypocritical, and just calm them down so that they don't come to make trouble.

So Guan Yi knew very well that the Qinjiabao conquest was just an exception: it was a tribe that specialized in looting and aroused public outrage in various local barbarian villages.If it is gone, it will be gone, and everyone will only applaud.But if you don't know how to restrain yourself after this incident is over, and you still want to continue to use force to attack the Wuxi barbarians, don't wait for the Wuxi barbarians to unite against you. The CD court will accept you!
All of the above are the reality of agricultural society: population and cultivated land are the whole of society.If there is not enough arable land, the population is a burden rather than a wealth.

"Forget it, since you all don't want it, then I, Fuxing Society, want it all."

"Prefect, no! We can't support so many people!"

"Zifeng, what is this Fuxing Society? Why do you want so many people?"

many people?I just feel that there are few people!
