Chapter 250 Meeting (Additional update for leader Persimmon is very fragrant)
On the last day of July, Shao Xun held a military meeting in Green Willow Garden, and all the generals arrived.
There were dozens of people sitting in the courtyard, arranged according to their relative distance and status.
The left half is a civil official, and the right half is a military attache - civil and military is a distinction between positions, not people. At this time, a person can be either a civil official or a military attache, and the distinction is not obvious.
Chen Yougen, the commander of the long sword, is sitting at the lower right of Shao Xun.
No matter what happened in the past, he is now the minister, the number one general under the shadow of the Shaw family, and has a very high status.
The eldest brother Chen Jingen is sitting in the back. He is Chen Yougen's general. He commands dozens of Chen family servants and acts as a personal soldier when going into battle.
Chen Yingen and Chen Tonggen did not have the chance to attend. The former is a bandit in Yiyang, and the latter is a member of the public house - the person has no rank, but has fifty acres of land, which belongs to Qian. A chore clerk.
Chang Can, deputy governor of the Changjian Army, also sat behind Chen Yougen.
Chen Yougen's subordinate is Li Chong, deputy governor of the Yamen Army.
From the perspective of military ability, he is the number one general of the Shaw Group. Moreover, he was humble, kept reading, and diligent in learning. He had considerable prestige among the Yamen army. He had led troops into many battles and led the way.
Chen Yougen's ability is really hard to compare with.
The arrangement of seats is quite mysterious.
Li Zhong bowed his head, and it was Liu Anzhi, the minister.
Further down from Liu Anzhi are the two deputy governors of the Silver Spear Army, Wang Queer and Jin San. Behind them are Lu Heigou, Hou Feihu, Xu Yu, Sun He, Zhang Daniu, and Jiang Ke. The building owners are basically from the first three phases of Donghai, Luoyang and Taiyuan.
As for the many students from Liang Guo, Chang'an, Handan who started the fourth phase, and the seventh phase of Yecheng who were recruited last year, there is no one qualified to sit here yet.
The Silver Spear Army is the well-deserved main force of the Shao Military and Political Group, with a large number of people and skilled skills. They sat there in silence, quietly listening to Master Shao's lectures.
Below the Silver Spear Army, there were the righteous governor Man Yu and the five auxiliary generals Wang Chan, Hao Chang, Lou Quan, Lou Bao, and Chen Qi, each with their entourage, sitting in a large area in darkness.
On the left, from the direction of the civil servants, the one closest to Shao Xun is Cao Fu, followed by Pei Kang.
These two people have high status, but in fact they are not very involved in daily government management. Only when things are uncertain, they will be asked to come forward to smoothen the relationship and exert influence.
The real head of the civil service was Lu Zhi, the governor of Xiangcheng.
Many of Shao Xun’s united front actions in Hebei were prompted by Lu Zhi’s letters.
Moreover, compared to Wang Yan and Wang Dao, the other children of the Wang family, Lu Zhi has a strong ability to handle general affairs, which is what they lack - Wang Yan and Wang Dao's skills, and even more The main point is in the direction of "maintaining the president". The actual governance ability is not enough. This may be related to the fact that the aristocratic family does not like to handle general affairs.
Under Lu Zhi, there were the state minister Cui Gong, the prime minister Pei Xi, the great farmer Chu Hui, the shepherd chief Wu Qian, the academic officer Ling Yuliang, Liang Lingyangman, Dian Shu Ling Yangming, Dian Shu Cheng Maobang, The four governors, Yangzhai Ling Zhou Mo, Zhongdian Mu Lekuan and others.
Some of the Shaw family members also came.
The owner of Yushanwu, his uncle Liu Shan, his third brother Shao Fan, his eldest nephew Shao Shen, as well as more than ten uncles, cousins, and cousins all came.
Liu Shan is in his early forties. He inherited the position of Grandpa Shao Xun and was the team leader of Xuzhou Shibing. He is somewhat arrogant in the countryside.
Today is the first time for him to attend such a high-level meeting. Looking at the children of aristocratic families around him, he feels a little inferior. Looking at the murderous military attachés on the opposite side, who looked like they were not good people at first glance, they felt a natural suppression - this was what the Qiu Ba in the army did.
"The Duke of Luyang County has arrived." The guard ordered Tang Jian to come over first and sang loudly.
Shao Xun walked over wearing a military uniform and walking like a dragon or a tiger.
"See Ming Gong." Liu Shan stood up with everyone and saluted in unison.
This nephew is incredible.
How did you build such a big business in seven years?
Civil officials and military officers were all respectful.
A single order can turn a state upside down.
I used to think that when my sister married into the Shao family, she was marrying down, but now it seems that their family is a high-ranking one.
A few years ago, my wife proposed to marry her daughter to Shao Xun. My sister was very happy at that time and said that it would be a great thing for cousins to get closer to each other. Unfortunately, she vetoed it in private.
Today it is impossible.
Princess Chengdu and Princess Fanyang lived in Green Willow Garden one after another. The legitimate daughter of the aristocratic family was gentle, well-educated, and noble, directly outperforming the other girls in the family.
What a pity.
"Sit." Shao Xun sat on the bed with his hands flat.
Everyone sat down one after another.
"The expedition is about to begin. Let's make a long story short." Shao Xun stretched out a finger and said: "The first thing."
"After I left for the expedition, Cao Gong took up the post of staying behind and dealt with military and political affairs. ”
“In terms of general affairs, Duke Cui and Duke Lu will discuss important matters. If it is really difficult, we will send messengers to the army.”
"Nuo." Cao Fu stood up first, with a good posture.
"Just sit down and talk." Shao Xun stood up and took two steps, helping Cao Fu to sit down.
Cui Gong and Lu Zhi also stood up and agreed.
Shao Xun ordered them to sit down one by one.
Cui Gong is fine, but Lu Zhi may not be convinced. But facing a veteran roly-poly like Cao Fu, he still showed respect.
Pei Kang felt a little numb.
There is nothing wrong with him in co-writing, and I feel a little unhappy.
“In terms of military affairs, Huang Biao, Wu Qian, and Liu Anzhi assisted Duke Cao. The Yamen Army, Fu soldiers, Silver Spear Army, Yi Cong Army, etc. that were left behind required four steps to deploy, mobilize, and go into battle. Only when someone signs it can the order take effect, both of which are indispensable," Shao Xun said again.
“No.” Huang, Wu and Liu responded in unison.
"The second thing." Shao Xun continued: "The matter of the Luoyang Three Gardens and the Tuntian Army's withdrawal to the south should be handled as soon as possible."
At this point, he looked at Shao Shen , Shao Fan and two others.
The two stood up immediately and heard Shao Shen say: "Uncle——"
"Huh?" Shao Xun glared at him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. The first group of people has passed Yique Pass with 40,000 dendrobium wheat and will arrive at Guangchengze in a few days. The second group of people has almost set off. Late August at the latest. The three gardens in Luoyang will be cleared out," Shao Shen replied loudly.
"It may not be until early September." Shao Fan added: "There are too many things, and the campers are also a little commotion. It's best to send an army to escort them." Shao Xun immediately looked at Huang Biao and ordered : "Deploy a group of Yamen soldiers to assist in the evacuation."
“No.” Huang Biao agreed.
Luoyang Sanyuan currently has more than 4,200 households with more than 20,000 people, cultivating 1,250 hectares of fields and more than 1,100 large and small livestock. Luoyang is about to become a battlefield, and they will definitely withdraw.
"The third thing, Yiyang Sanwu, withdraw some people." Shao Xun looked at Mao Bang and said: "Mao Er, you have been in charge of Sanwu for many years, you can handle this matter."
“No.” Mao Er agreed.
Located in Sanwu, Yunzhong, Kinmen and Tanshan, Yiyang County, there are currently more than 5,200 households and more than 23,100 people in the fort, more than 1,150 hectares of farmland have been reclaimed, and there are more than 2,000 large and small livestock.
Shao Xun had talked with Mao Bang before.
During the severe drought, Wubao's wells dried up due to terrain problems, and it was difficult to find water in the mountains. Not to mention farming, it is difficult for people and animals to drink water. They have to walk a long way to fetch water from Luoshui River, which has stopped flowing. It is very hard.
They had already begun to evacuate in July. A large group of people, carrying the elderly and the young, walked through the rugged mountain roads to Guangchengze - much closer to them than Luoyang Sanyuan.
What we are considering now is whether to evacuate all the remaining people.
The final result of the discussion was that 1,500 burgers were left in each dock, half of the grain was left, and the rest of the people, livestock, and grain were transported away.
"The fourth thing." Shao Xun said: "Before September 15th, no matter whether it rains or not, winter wheat must be sown. Shitian, Lutian, North and South Guanzhuang, and Duotian are all sown. Planting. The seven counties of Xiangcheng, Yangcheng, Liang, Luyang, Yushanwu, and Lvliuyuan will be responsible for planting as much as they can. In short, they will make every effort to cultivate the land. ”
The so-called "North and South Manors" are actually two newly built manors in Guangcheng Ze, commonly known as "South Garden" and "Bei Garden".
Beiyuan originally had more than 1,350 hectares of farmland. It was cleared last winter and completed in the first half of this year. However, a severe drought hit before sowing could be done, so we had to clean it again.
According to Princess Lu of Fan Yang, the land combined with the fields of Guojiu Bieyuan now covers nearly 1,500 hectares, which will be cultivated by more than 7,000 people from the second and third battalions of the Jizhou Tuntian Army.
The Jing brothers recruited two hundred homeless people to take charge of management.
But it was not enough, so Lu transferred more than a hundred military strategists and generals from his family to manage it together.
The South Garden was cleared and leveled this year. After burning the wasteland, we repeatedly dug out tree roots, picked up stones, and tidied it up again and again.
The total area is 1,500 hectares, and it is planned to be farmed by the villagers who have withdrawn from Luoyang Sanyuan.
Duotian is Yang Xianrong’s private property and has grown to more than 100 hectares. After harvesting a season of rice last year, wheat was planted in the autumn.
After the summer harvest this year, we can no longer grow rice. We have to rest the soil and continue planting wheat in mid-September.
Overall, there are still too few fields.
A water conservancy project (Liling Weir, Chexi Canal) in Ji County during this dynasty irrigated more than one million acres. The area of Guangchengze is several times that of that, and the water volume is dozens of times that of that. However, the level of development is still too low.
It still takes time to settle.
The land in Guangcheng Zeli is different from the fields in counties and counties. It is completely under your own control, and the benefits will be huge when developed.
"One last thing." Shao Xun said: "Li Zhong led six buildings of the Yamen Army, Chen Yougen led 1,200 government soldiers, Chen Jin led five thousand auxiliary soldiers, Jin San and Wang Queer led eight buildings Silver Spear Army, follow me on the expedition.”
“No.” The generals whose names were called stood up one after another.
Afterwards, everyone discussed the details. This is the most time-consuming, and it won’t be over until night.
After the officers dispersed, Shao Xun spent a peaceful night with his family.
Le Lanji and Lu Xun met yesterday, but they were still a little uncomfortable.
When their eyes met inadvertently, they both subconsciously avoided it.
After learning that Lu Xun was pregnant, Lan Ji felt a little uncomfortable. That night, he held Shao Xun tightly like an octopus and did not allow him to play with flowers.
Shao's father and Shao's mother are already numb.
Princess Chengdu and Princess Fan Yang are both pregnant with Xiao Chong, and they are even guessing which princess will be brought into the house next. In the end, Shao's mother directly said "Don't be the queen" and ended the topic directly.
Sister Shao Ying is probably the happiest person in the family.
The wild girl turned into a eldest lady, covered in silk and silk. The two sisters-in-law were trying to please her in disguise, and the gifts they gave her were filled with several rattan baskets, making her look like a little rich woman.
Her big wish now is that there will be a third sister-in-law to pamper her?
On the first day of August, the sky was gloomy, but still not a drop of rain fell.
Shao Xun sighed, and after saying goodbye to his parents and sister, he hugged Leshi and Lushi.
Song Yi stood timidly in the distance.
Her status is too low to be compared with Leshi and Lushi.
Shao Xun waved, took her into his arms, kissed her on the forehead, got on his horse and left with a big smile.
The smoke and dust are long, and the military formation is like a dragon.
More than ten thousand troops headed north and arrived in the western suburbs of Luoyang a few days later.
At this time, a military report came: Pingbei General Cao Wu was defeated and Dayang fell.
Shao Xun immediately took out the map and looked at it carefully.
Dayang is located to the north of the Yellow River and is the last stronghold of the imperial court in Hedong County. It guards an important crossing of this section of the Yellow River: Maojin.
Cao Wu had fifteen thousand men, consisting of the left and right armies of the Forbidden Army.
This time the army is defeated, I don’t know how many people are left.
At this time, in Luoyang City, there were still more than 30,000 left and right guards, heroic cavalry troops, and more than 20,000 infantry troops brought over by Sima Yue.
I heard that 5,000 "rebels" from Liangzhou had arrived in Guanzhong. Counting them and Shao Xun's troops, the entire Luoyang garrison numbered about 70,000 to 80,000.
On the other side of Baima Crossing, there were also sergeants from Yu and Yan led by the chariot general Wang Kan. After a defeat, there were still more than 10,000 soldiers left.
Sima Yue assigned more than 5,000 infantry and cavalry of the East China Sea Kingdom Army led by Liu Qiaguan to his command, and the total strength was only about 20,000.
I heard that Wang Shiwen, the governor of Xuchang, was still reorganizing the follow-up troops, but I didn’t know how many soldiers there were.
That’s about it for now.
If you fight hard, you can still win. The premise is that you have enough military rations.
