Chapter 59 Two Rebels
Li Dachui took the fire tongs and pulled out a burnt black taro in the brazier, blew away the floating ash on it, and gently tore it open, revealing the snow-white flesh inside. , handed it to Mao Daxian opposite, and said with a smile: "Eat it while it's hot, it will only taste delicious when it's hot!"
Mao Daxian took the taro, bit off half of it in one bite, hissed, and rolled the taro with his tongue. I turned the meat around a few times until my tongue and teeth fully experienced the rich aroma, and then I swallowed it.
Watching Li Dachui peeling the second taro, Mao Daxian lifted the teapot by the fire, poured a cup of golden tea soup, put it in Li Dachui's hand, and said: "This time, three thousand men and horses disembarked. Are you coming back?"
"How can you not come back?" Li Dachui took a bite of the taro and raised the taro in his hand and said, "The ones we grow here are more fragrant than the ones below. ”
"There are currently about 60,000 people in the original land. The number of people who can really contribute to the finance is less than 40,000 so far. The rest are children and those who have just come to the original land and still need support. These 3,000 people have made a difference this time. "Xiang, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in a short time, and the expenses must be carefully calculated," Mao Daxian said: "Taian City has to support the expenses of Tianzi Camp, Renzi Camp and Zhiqiuyuan. In order to maintain the bulk of goods." We have to store a large amount of cash to deal with emergencies, which is not enough. Next, we must go out to have a broader future. If we stay in the same place, we can only stand still and it will be difficult to make progress. ”
“Yes, that’s why we took this action!” Li Dachui said with a smile: “If we get things done this time, we won’t have to worry about money anymore in a short time. "
Mao Daxian waved his hand: "There is no need to tell me the specific process of this matter. I like to talk in my sleep. It is not good to know too many secrets. I am afraid that it will be ruined if it is accidentally leaked. "
Li Dachui laughed and nodded.
"But there is another thing I still have to care about." Mao Daxian said: "After this is done, your strength can no longer be hidden no matter what, Tai'an City, Helanyuan and other The place will be exposed to the world, and it is no longer appropriate to hide your stupidity at this time. When it is time to deter, you must deter, so standing force is a must. What do you think about these problems in the future? "
"I was about to discuss it with Mr. Mao." Li Dachui ate up the taro in his hand, patted the ashes on his hand, picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp, and then said: "I plan to divide the development of our future armed forces into two stages. . The first stage is to implement the government-military system. "
"What do you mean?"
"The soldiers and farmers are one, and they are farmers in their spare time, and they are soldiers in wartime!" In the first stage, our main strategy is to focus on development and not expand outward on a large scale. At this time, it is more about defensive counterattack, so it is more suitable to use the Fubing system, just like Helanyuan, we usually farm at home. As a farmer, he participated in training during the slack period and formed an army to go out in war. "
"So the foundation of the army is to grant land!" Mao Daxian said.
“We have no shortage of land now!” Li Dachui said with a smile: “In the future, the triangular area we planned will be full of fertile black land. In addition to granting land, the Fubing family will naturally also A series of benefits such as tax exemptions and corvee exemptions, and the return of all proceeds after the expedition are used to stimulate the desire of the soldiers to fight! Of course, making achievements on the battlefield is another way to achieve class advancement. ”
Mao Daxian frowned slightly: "I'm afraid that the key point of your paragraph is to go out to conquer and capture them for yourself!"
Li Dachui laughed, "You can't hide it from Mr. Mao, that's why. As long as the first batch of governors to go out to conquer When the soldiers come back with a lot of money and buy land and homes, it will naturally inspire the second group of people to eager to go to war. After a few trips back and forth, the soldiers' desire to fight will be infinitely stimulated. Hope to fight, eager to fight, so that we can raise an army as strong as a wolf and a tiger."
"How to solve the problem of food and salary for the soldiers?"
"In addition to providing corresponding supplies when going out. In addition to some supplies, the remaining weapons, armor, horses, and military rations need to be prepared by the soldiers themselves." Li Dachui blinked and said, "We will issue corresponding regulations on weapons, armor, and other weapons, and then our workshops will do so. Responsible for making it, the soldiers can just pay for it.”
“Take the money they robbed and earn it back?” Mao Daxian thought thoughtfully: “If you want to get more money, just do it. You have to live longer on the battlefield, which requires better weapons and armor, and you have to spend more money to buy these things. This creates a cycle. In the end, you not only gained victory, but also changed your life. In one way, he legitimately got the soldiers’ capture into his own hands.”
"In this process, everyone has earned something!" Li Dachui said.
Mao Daxian chuckled: "What about the second stage?"
"The second stage is still far away for us!" Li Dachui spread his hands and said: "The government army system has many Those with big weaknesses, because they do not need us to provide them with supplies and are self-sufficient in everything, so our control over them will be weakened, and they can easily become private soldiers of the generals, and they cannot fight for a long time. At a certain stage, we will Soldiers need to fight and guard outside for a long time. At this time, it is not appropriate for the soldiers to be soldiers. They will feel homesick. Therefore, in the second stage, we must implement a recruitment system to recruit elites to form our standing army. However, we will not use the recruitment system. We need to prepare sufficient wages, money and food. "
"If it is a rotational war system for the army, and it rotates once a year, then Helanyuan can provide 10,000 young men, once every two to three years, and so on. , Don't hurt the people, don't miss the farming season!" Mao Daxian said: "If you keep winning the battle and the damage is small, it will form a good cycle."
"I think so too. From now on, the triangle area between Aquarius State, Yuan'an City, and Tai'an City will enter a stable area, and local government troops can also start to be formed. At this time, these veterans on Helanyuan can change their roles. "Those who are willing to continue fighting will form our standing army, and the other will be dispersed to the countryside to become the most basic officers. In this way, we can smoothly transition to the second stage without causing a disconnect between the two stages." Since he has already made a plan, Mao Daxian will not say more, but the Lord must remember that outside the customs, although force is the priority, if the force wants to last, it must have a sufficient foundation. If the Lord only wants to do For a hero to occupy one side, it is enough to rely on Helanyuan, Tai'an City and the triangle area you just mentioned, but if you want to dominate the outside world or even go further, then these are not enough!"
"Of course, considering that Linghuye now actually controls one-third of the area outside the pass, and secretly has countless chess pieces, he is still working hard to expand his strength. I am far behind him, so naturally I dare not make any mistakes. Slow down, Mr. Mao, you don’t have to test me. Defeating Linghuye and dominating the outside world is just my first step.”
Mao Daxian stroked his beard and laughed: “I’m afraid that the Lord will give up when he sees fit. A life is a life of hard work, even if you fail in the end and leave this world with nothing, at least you still have the process of hard work to brag about, and the experience of failure to savor, and at least you can leave a negative teaching material for future generations. A life of inaction, and when you are about to die, there is nothing commendable about your life. It is the most shameful thing for a man to eat without eating. ”
“ What is Mr. Mao's biggest dream in this life?" Li Dachui asked with a smile.
"My biggest dream in this life is, of course, to dominate the world." Mao Daxian said.
"If you want to rule the world, don't I have to rule the world!" Li Dachui said with a smile.
“If it were a peaceful year, our ideal would naturally not work. However, the Qin Dynasty is already in internal and external difficulties, and wars are about to start in an instant. With the young master’s current strength, he can participate in this world-wide competition. I think that hundreds of years ago, when the Li family of Great Qin was in trouble, they did not have the strength of the young master today!" Mao Daxian's eyes lit up: "Now the young master can get 50,000 elites with just one order. The real fighting power is no worse than that of Linghu Ye."
"When I went to invite Mr. Mao to Shangyuan, Mr. Mao had set such an ambition at that time? In fact, I just want to make a living, and the salary you gave me is very good, which is enough for me to live in a dream!" Mao Daxian said bluntly, "It was only in the past two years that I had the idea of rebellion."
"Mr. Mao has always been there. They all have thoughts of rebellion, why don’t they join Linghu Ye? At least, he is stronger than me on paper!" Li Dachui asked.
Mao Daxian shook his head repeatedly: "Linghuye looks decisive, but in fact he is indecisive. He is hesitant in doing things, cherishes his life, reputation, and wealth. He looks strong, but in fact he is hollow. He is just a paper tiger. If he does not rebel, he can still dominate outside the customs. If one of us acts as a powerful person, he will definitely be defeated and killed."
"I can't believe that Mr. Mao has such a high opinion of me!" Li Dachui raised the tea cup in his hand: "For this reason. When Fu San Dabai comes, come on, let me drink tea as a toast to Master Mao."
Mao Daxian laughed: "I am not good at other things, but I still have a good eye for people."
"Mr. Mao is humbled. In the past three years, Helan Plain has flourished. From its initial decline to its current prosperity, it is all due to Mr. Mao!"
"You have brought the most Good ingredients, if I can’t process these food boxes into a table of good food, how can I live up to your generous salary?”
"Is Mao Gong just for salary?"
"Famous is wanted, power is desired, and profit is indispensable!" Mao Daxian said: "In this world, a man can only ask for this."
"In this case, can you tell me clearly about Mao Gong's life experience? In the past, it didn't matter if you just let you govern a Helan, but then I will officially take the stage. I have to Knowing the details of the number one person under my command, I asked Zhiqiuyuan to investigate, but found nothing!" Li Dachui spread his hands and said, "But a person like Mao Gong should not remain silent. Who are you?"
“The past is too painful to look back on!” Mao Daxian waved his hands repeatedly: “My lord, there is no need to investigate. Since Mao Daxian is determined to hide the past, he will naturally cut it clean and want to restore his original identity. Unless one Something!”
“What thing?”
"The day when I will rule the world!" Mao Daxian raised his head, his eyes a little hazy: "This is the day when I will return home in fine clothes!"
