Chapter 1074 Water Battle (Part 1)
Shao Xun's layout in Xiangyang begins with land.
He classified Caizhou Island as a garden forest directly under the Shaofu, and directly allocated the former military farm to farm - Caizhou later generations had been connected with the land, and it was still a sandbank in the Han River at this time.
In addition to Caizhou Island, it also obtained the territory of the Liao family in Zhonglu County and the Cai family in Xiangyang County.
The Cai family not only has fields on Caizhou Island, but in fact there are fields in Xiangyang, Shandu and Zhonglu counties. After the Wang Ruzhi Rebellion, Caizhou Island, which was the old nest of the Cai family, was captured. The main lineage of the Cai family died almost the same, and the fields scattered in various counties were gradually occupied, and now all of them are retrieved.
During Huang Biao's army southward, the Ma family of Yicheng and Huang family of Bixian (Huang Chengyan family) were successively captured, and all the land was taken away, and the wealth was left as a reward for military rewards.
After establishing these four families, there are still more than 2,000 hectares of land. It just needs to be sorted out and concentrated in one place to place a government soldier. The middle involves exchanging land with the local wealthy families in Xiangyang, which requires a lot of things.
The location of Longxiang Mansion was also selected, and it was located south of Xianshan, facing Caizhou Island from afar.
With these 1,200 soldiers in the palace, plus the Caizhou Garden households, the imperial court's control over Xiangyang has greatly increased. At least it will not be too fucked like the rebellion of the rich people in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the place will immediately change color.
As for diving the field, it will definitely be postponed.
At least before the conquering Jin State, the local rich people in Jingzhou had united front value. As for what will happen after the capture, of course it was thrown away as a urinal. Shao Xun would not say this secret publicly, but he understood it.
"Your Majesty is better to give some benefits." Zhang Bin, the Supervisor of the Central Secretariat, reminded: "There are still many wastelands in Jiangxia, and some can be distributed as appropriate to ensure the local household registration."
Shao Xun nodded slightly when he heard this, and at the same time he noticed that Zhang Bin was getting older and older, and his energy was not as strong as before.
He escaped from the great epidemic that year, but he still could not resist the erosion of aging. But there was no way. This is the principle of nature. No one can transcend it. At least those Taoists have been conducting large-scale research for more than a hundred years. No results have been made so far - of course, no results can be achieved.
"What Zhang Qing said is very much." Shao Xun said: "Jiangxia, Jingling and Nanjun can be allocated some counties at their discretion."
It means that some areas of these three counties can be left to the rich to develop without spending land. It is all yours that can be passed on to future generations.
Of course, it’s okay not to develop, just guard the northern home business. Anyway, now we are just cleaning up the fields occupied after Yongjiatian. Many old families occupy land very early, and even a large handful of land deeds from the Cao Wei period can barely maintain them.
"The demoted officials in Xiangyang can also be recruited accordingly." Zhang Bin said again, "You can give some officials to the court, so that they can be short of them. The Imperial Academy can also accept more children from Jingzhou. Your Majesty is trying to govern the country in a great way. In the future, the Emperor is looking for a great scholar to study the country. When appointing a student as an official, at least the wealthy families in Jingzhou will not object..."
Zhang Bing is indeed mature and persistent, and the advice he gives is very reliable.
Shao Xun had only said that there was no land in the south of the Yangtze River, but none of the counties such as Xiangyang, Nanjun, Jiangxia, and Jingling were in the south of the Yangtze River, and they all were in the north of the Yangtze River. Logically speaking, they had to land in the south of the Yangtze River. But everything depends on the actual situation. If many wealthy families in the north can’t wait, they must first give some sweetness to comfort the people’s hearts.
Of course, it’s okay if Shao Xun doesn’t give it to him, but if he doesn’t get it against them!
But the same thing is true. Judging from everyone's style of behavior, he is still willing to share the benefits with others.
Next, Zhang Bin mentioned how to absorb and disintegrate the battle against the Zahu tribe and deal with possible rebellions, which were very insightful, and Shao Xun adopted them one by one.
*******
At the end of the early month of the first lunar month, Tao Kan was still in Huarong.
This place is quite special.
On the north side is a land that is silting into land, and there are some polder fields that have been opened up. Some counties and townships were also set up in the Wei and Jin dynasties, but the level of development is definitely not enough, and the lakes and marsh still exist on a large scale.
Needless to say, the sky on the south side is the same color as Yunmengze Lake and the misty waves are vast. It seems that this area will take many years of sediment to slowly form enough land. In fact, until the Tang Dynasty, these huge Lakes and swamps were divided into discontinuous water bodies little by little, and there was a perfect area in the middle of the water body. It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that this area, which was later called the "Jianghan Plain", had a brilliant corner.
In addition to the lake and storm, there are two rivers, Yangshui and Xiashui, which connect Jiangling and Mianshui. Among them, Yangshui flows not far north of Huarong, and Xiashui passes through the south of Huarong, and then enters Yunmengze and disappears. Then we go out of Yunmengze and communicate with the Yangtze River near Jiangling.
The Yangshui and Xiashui are not tributaries that flow into the Yangtze River, but flows that carry the river water, and the water volume is still very abundant. Therefore, Tao Kan went downstream from Huarong to rescue Yangkou, while supporting Jiangling was upstream.
On the eleventh day of the first lunar month of the Taihe period of the Great Jin Dynasty (330), on the school grounds north of Huarong City, Tao Kan and the shogunate Sima Wang were wandering along the river, constantly talking about war.
Not far away, there were tens of thousands of soldiers practicing.
Tao Kan looked at Wang Qianqi for a long time and didn't speak, for fear of disturbing Tao Kan's interest.
"This was an army created by Liu Gong. Wang Chuzhong and I continued to train. The army has been around for a long time, and it is longer than the imperial guards." Tao Kan said: "But it is still worse than the soldiers who came out of the dead of Shao thieves. Many."
Wang Qianqi didn't know what to say.
He also read military books, and once felt that as long as he "holds the wisdom beads" and "smart ideas come out one after another", he could win a battle. But now I know that there are so many wars in the world that can be won by strategy? Every time one appears, it is worthy of a special book.
In real wars, it is often compared to whose soldiers are stronger, their fighting styles are more reasonable, and their food and supplies are more.
As far as his observation is concerned, after several battles over the past few months, the Jingzhou army should have been scared, which is the most worrying part. Although they are practicing, they are all tense and have a low morale. It is difficult for such soldiers to fight against the Liang people.
"Xiangyang must have been lost now..." Tao Kan suddenly sighed.
Wang Qianqi did not react for a moment and said, "Ming Gong, although Xiangyang will be lost sooner or later, it is too fast, right?"
Tao Kan did not answer him. There are some things that should not be known to too many people. It is a silence to say that just now. Anyway, it will not take long before the news of the fall of Xiangyang and Fancheng will be heard, and you will know it at that time.
It has been almost four months since the war has been going on today, and he doesn't know how long it will last on each front. Anyway, he has done his best and has dragged it to the present. In the future, we can only do our best to leave our will.
The Liang army has launched an attack on Jiangling, and it is said that the battle has not stopped at all for seven or eight days.
The newly arrived Xiangzhou soldiers could not withstand such fierce fighting and were driven off the city on the spot. Fortunately, the Jingzhou soldiers took the city back with their lives, but the casualties were quite serious.
This war has entered the stage of competition and consumption, which is very cruel. Whoever can't bite his teeth and relax first will be over.
He still needs to wait for a good opportunity. The most important thing is to withstand the attacks in the Jianye court.
It is no trivial to throw away Xiangyang and Ji Nan in succession, although he has done a good job.
*******
Jiangling people may never have thought that one day the place where they live would become the focus of attention in the world.
This time, the Liang people didn't even dig much trenches, so they directly dispatched various troops to launch attacks in the north and west of Jiangling City.
From morning to night, the drums never stop.
Zahu has attacked the city countless times, and this time it was replaced by Ding Zhuang in various counties in Henan.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
They pushed the ladder trucks forward in batches, fighting bravely with the enemy's tincture, boiling water, and gold juice. And on the Yangshui River not far from them, a water battle also reached its climax—
Yang Bao rushed to Jiangling from Shouchun before the New Year and dispatched dozens of backbone officers to rectify the navy team that had grown to more than 5,000 people.
Around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the army was reorganized, so they followed Jiang Ke's order and entered the Yangshui River and rushed straight to the enemy's water camp.
Above the river, arrows are so dense that they cannot be described in words.
The navy soldiers on both sides each held large shields, and in just a short while, the shield surface was "stickled" with arrows.
Yang Bao stood at the bow of the largest ship - it was a ship, but it was actually a cargo ship - and looked at his own warship rushing forward bravely, feeling uneasy.
This group of newly formed navy troops looks very average in combat and the ship is much worse than others.
After the ships on both sides are mixed together, the enemy can shoot from a high point, but the one side can only shoot from the back, which is very disadvantageous.
The only thing that can be expected is that the local tyrants led by Huang He and even the thieves and river bandits were very strong after they suddenly gained official positions.
Every time the ships collided, someone would roar and call the beatings of the bends and tilts to get up quickly, stab each other with spears on the river surface, and even jumped onto the enemy ships to fight in close combat.
Amid the drums, people kept falling into the river, dyeing the water surface bright red.
Some people kept jumping into the river from the storm of flames and shouting. As they shouted, they soon saw the enemy soldiers floating and sinking not far away, so they pulled out their daggers and fought against each other on the river.
The ship sailed ruthlessly, knocking these people to death. But soon more people and corpses fell into the river, and the previous events were reproduced over and over again.
This is the first time Yang Bao has seen such a bloody and intense water battle—
His ship quickly staggered by an enemy ship.
At this time, he could even see the slightly nervous and helpless faces on the faces of the Jin navy soldiers on the enemy ship.
"Click!" The enemy threw out the hook and hooked Yang Bao's ship tightly.
Then a springboard with a hook at the top was put down, and dozens of Jin navy soldiers with short-soldiers rushed out of the cabin and tried to rush along the springboard.
"Boom!" The helmman's boat driving skills were pretty good, so he directly hit him hard.
Yang Bao was not careful and staggered to the ground, with the sound of falling into the water everywhere.
At this moment, someone fell into the other person's ship, someone fell into the water, and someone had already caught him and started fighting.
Yang Bao wiped the blood from his forehead and staggered up.
What you see is an increasingly chaotic battlefield. The ships of both sides are almost completely mixed together, with the sound of weapons fighting and the screams of dying everywhere.
On the long dike in the distance, the brigade of the palace soldiers and the soldiers of the Silver Guns were advancing bravely, trying to attack the Jin people's water camp.
Obviously, the purpose of today's battle is to drive the enemy navy out of Jiangling.
