Chapter 637: Between One Thought (Part 1)

"General Yan, manpower is a big problem." said the veteran and Bin.

He now has a new position, which is the governor of Yizhou. This is almost the control prefecture of the Song Dynasty on the west side of Guangnan West Road. There is also a territory belonging to the Song Dynasty to the west. For example, Nandanzhou, which is famous for its production of cinnabar, was recruited by local tyrants Mo Hongkuang, and returned to the Song Dynasty. During the Kaibao period, the local tyrant Mo Hongkuang reclaimed the original corpse, Mingzhou, and renamed Nandanzhou. That was the real corpse. It was not until the end of the Northern Song Dynasty that the court established Guanzhou and began to interfere in managing local affairs.

Perhaps the court was worried that Jiaozhi would be used to make it once, and then Dali would be used again, and Guangnan West Road would be completely rotten. So Hebin, who was familiar with the south and had military talents, served as the governor of Yizhou.

However, at Wang Ju's suggestion, He Bin's identity became the deputy deployment of the Cavalry and Infantry Army of Guangnan West Road and returned to the front line.

Then let’s take charge of the army. Besides, he also expressed a headache when he asked Hebin to control the barbarians.

Before Wang Ju went to Guangnan, He Bin had been transferred to his fate and stayed on the front line. This was also Wang Ju's proposal. He was not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of if he was afraid of it. He Bin issued an urgent edict, asking He Bin to lead some of the local soldiers who had been trained by Liu Yi to station on the front line.

The court believed and suspected it, but was afraid of the king's vicious tongue, so it issued an urgent edict.

Jiaozhi did not move abnormally, but Li Changjie's poem arrived in the capital...

The second generals inspected the front line, Qu Zhen, Yao Lin, Yao Xiong's uncle and nephew, Miao Lu also came to Guangnan. They were transferred back, but because of Wang Ju's suggestion, they came back. Wang Ju asked these generals to assist Yan and the two to explore the various dangerous places.

Of course, it is impossible to build a chain defense line with forts like in the northwest.

Not to mention the cost of building these fortresses and checkpoints, even if they are built, there are not so many troops stationed. Although Wang Ju said he would collect 100,000 local soldiers, the local soldiers would immediately train them after they were recruited. After the forced training, the second battle to combat Jiaozhi would be held, which had little to do with stationing the various checkpoints.

Therefore, several generals chose each other. The second line of defense mentioned by Yu Wangju, which is the front line of the six southern states, selected eight places and successively built checkpoints and military camps. In fact, due to the terrain, no matter how many levels are built here, they cannot effectively defend. Unless a large army of 50,000 and a hundred levels are stationed, a dense defensive front can be barely formed. But that is impossible.

I can only say that with these eight levels of military camps, I can buffer it.

Then we went to the first line of defense that Wang Ju mentioned. This is the real southern gate of Yongzhou, but this line of defense is also very long, but compared with the front line of defense. Fortunately, there is a mountainous area in the middle, so just guard several heavy roads.

The remaining paths are hard to defend against. However, although they cannot defend against, due to the paths, although the enemy can attack, they cannot bring a large amount of food and supplies, so they cannot invade the army to the rear. As for small groups of troops crossing this line of defense and plundering in the rear, there is no way. Even if they defend like Shaanxi, they still cannot defend against small groups of plundering in Xixia. But in this way, even if they come in, the harm is not great.

Besides, there is also a buffer for the previous six states.

Therefore, several generals chose seven more locations.

It was also proposed to strengthen the heavy village in the northern part of Sumaozhou. The terrain here is relatively flat. Jiaozhi troops divided into three groups, the main force attacked Yongzhou, and a group of naval troops captured Qinzhou. The remaining route was to capture Ruxi Village along the coastal area of ​​Sumaozhou, and then met with the navy to conquer Qinzhou and Lianzhou, which caused heavy damage to the people of the two states.

Moreover, after they retreated, they destroyed these villages and gates together, so the original villages had to be rebuilt.

But where is the labor force?

"The Shaobao said there was labor." Yan Da said.

"Is there still Xixia prisoners of war?" Yao Xiong asked strangely.

"It's been a few years, and there are still prisoners of war in Xixia, so it's strange!" Yao Lin said.

"Let's go back to Yongzhou to report to Shaobao," Yan Da said. He believed that Wang Ju had a solution, but he always felt that it was not good...

The group returned and just arrived at Taiping Village, Wang Ju had already sent someone to ask them to return to Yongzhou City quickly.

Several cavalrymen rushed to Yongzhou City, but were not in the prefecture yamen, but were taken to a family by a yamen runner.

Several people turned over and got out of the horse and entered the house. Wang Ju also came out of the middle hall. Several people saluted, and Yan Da asked strangely: "Shaobao, this house..."

"The people in Yongzhou City were slaughtered by Jiaozhi, and the house price was so low. You know why I came to Guangnan. Although I was sentenced to Guizhou, Yongzhou was also the focus. I will come to Yongzhou frequently in the future, so I managed this house. When I left, I will use it to build the provincial school. In addition, I also arranged manpower to buy a batch of residences and renovate them so that Yongzhou City can be restored to life as soon as possible. This is so miserable."

"So that's how it is, Shao Bao Gao Yi."

"I read Confucian books. The true Confucianism is just a few words: cultivating oneself, managing the family, governing the country and pacifying the world. If you are poor, you will be able to help the world. When you were poor, you would not care about anything and even do a mule. Now you have some economy in your hands and do some good deeds within your ability. This is the essence of Confucianism and is not a big deal. Come in."

A few people went in.

Qiong Niang made tea for them and said, "The generals are here just in time. I have prepared some dishes."

"Then we have a good time," Yao Lin joked.

He trained troops in Zheng Baiqu very early, and he was very familiar with each other and was not restricted.

"It's a blessing," said Qiong Niang with a smile, then floated away. Her husband wanted to talk about the serious business, so she couldn't stay by her side to listen.

Several people took a sip of tea and asked, "Shaobao, we have checked each village. There are 15 places in total, eight places on the south and seven places on the back. In addition, Ruxi Village will also need to be rebuilt."

"That's good."

“No labor.”

"What I'm talking about is Labor. Labor has sent a ship to Taipingzhai."

"Ah, no wonder we saw so many boats on the way in Zuoshui."

"Those ships were not only labor, but also some supplies for repairing the villages and food and grass needed by the servants."

"Is there really labor?" Miao Lu said in surprise.

Hebin said: "Wang Shaobao, it was solved by labor, and there was still another problem that had not been solved. The Battle of Yongzhou also exposed the troops that the court could mobilize. It was not 40,000 to 50,000 troops. Only ten thousand people could really mobilize."

“It’s true.”

"However, all states and troops must have these forces, and Guizhou also has to leave thousands of troops to prepare for unexpected accidents. There are not many troops left, so how can we protect so many passers-by?"

"This is indeed a problem. I have been a little negligent before the future." Wang Ju said.

The first line of defense must be sent to guard the army. Even the second line of defense cannot be completely handed over to the six southern states. They are located between the two countries. Although Jiaozhi ceded the five states to the Song Dynasty, many tribes were still connected with Jiaozhi. If Jiaozhi wanted to invade, more than half of the tribes would be guaranteed to turn against each other. Therefore, Wang Ju focused on recruiting soldiers from these six states, but the recruited soldiers were not to protect the safety of these six states, but to be transferred to other places for training, one was to train, and the other was to be hostages. But in that case, a large number of troops would be sent from the rear to guard the selected Guanzhai by several generals.

He took a sip of tea and thought for a while and said, "In this way, I will write a memorial to ask the court to give some rewards to the soldiers who recovered from malaria after conquering south last year, and draw 3,000 soldiers from it and go south again."

"They won't want to..."

"So the court has to give some rewards, but it also needs to explain to them why they were drawn because they were suffering from such severe malaria, but they safely survived the dangerous period, so their bodies will produce antibodies in the future, and they will not be easily infected with malaria. Moreover, they came this time, not to gather large troops, nor to expect them to march and fight, but to defend these gates and villages to deter the barbarians of the new five states. Even if they use troops in the future, they will not let them fight."

"Antibody?"

"Well, Mr. Guo hurriedly withdrew his troops on New Year's Day. There are many reasons. The main reason is that the malaria infection was too serious, and nearly half of the military and civilians were sacrificed. Many of the remaining civilians were infected with malaria. Even after the withdrawal, some of the military and civilians died of illness, but most of them retreated to the rear and gradually recovered after treatment. These people's bodies produced antibodies. Miaolu, you were in the capital before, did you hear about cowpox?"

"I heard that some people have also started to grow acne."

"That's what I proposed before going to Qingzhou. The time is still relatively short. In more than ten years, it will become more popular after proof of time. Once popularization begins, acne rash will no longer be a harm to our dynasty. I left Qingzhou before I could promote it, so I left Qingzhou. But in Quanzhou, I specially sent people to promote it. There were only a dozen cases of acne rash last year. I left Quanzhou without saying hello. I heard that the people of Quanzhou were very grateful and deliberately regarded this as my political achievements."

How many people laughed.

"In fact, its principle is to allow children to produce antibodies in advance, so that they will not be able to get the poison of lemon pox rash again in the future. The same principle is, if patients with falciparum recover by chance, they will not be easily infected with malaria in the future."

"So can I get acne?" Yao Xiong asked curiously.

"This doesn't work, malaria is even more complicated..." Wang Ju shook his head and said, "But as long as you pay a little attention, it won't be that scary. If so, how can the people of Guangnan and Jiaozhi survive?"

One of Wang Ju also ignored it. In fact, traditional Chinese medicine is not useless, including his acne-receive method. Europeans say it was invented by Jenna, so it is really impossible to be anxious. Strictly speaking, it was invented by China very early, and then it was introduced to the West from Russia, so Westerners were able to improve it, not invention!

There are also plagues. In fact, since the Han Dynasty, many doctors have studied various plagues, and some medical scientists have also written related books. Although they have not found a cure, some formulas can still play a part of the control effect.

It was this formula that many military and civilians gradually recovered under the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine after surviving the initial dangerous period. It was not exactly what Wang Ju said about the antibodies.

But the few people here are all military generals, so they don’t care even more.

Hebin thought for a while and said, "If three thousand officers and soldiers could be transferred, the troops would not be so nervous."

Of course, if Jiaozhi was defeated in the future, even if 10,000 banished soldiers were transferred, the strength was still insufficient, and Wang Ju's plan was disrupted and he could only fight to the death.

After solving two difficult problems, Yao Xiong asked curiously: "Young Guardian, where did these servants come from?"

They rode on their horses and ran quickly towards Yongzhou City. When they approached Yongzhou City, they saw many ships heading towards Taipingzhai, but they didn't pay attention.

"This is exactly what I want to say below. Everyone, the imperial court has set up military tactics, and most of them are the generals among the "generals", but I don't know how many soldiers you have led now?"

Cai Ting proposed the general's military strategy so that the generals could know the soldiers and the generals. In fact, it was to re-establish the commanders and commanders of the early Song Dynasty. One general was similar in nature to the first army. The most had more than a dozen battalions of officers and soldiers, and the few had only a few battalions of officers and soldiers. However, the officials of each battalion and generals in each "general" were fixed. The soldiers followed the generals and led the soldiers.

For example, Yan Da had six battalions under his command, and he was stationed in Qingzhou. The six battalions also had to go to Qingzhou with him. He was stationed in Xizhou, so the six battalions also had to go to Xizhou with him.

In this way, the superiors know the inferiors, the inferiors know the superiors, and mutual understanding can improve combat effectiveness.

Moreover, because there is a system of wheel garrison, and the number is still limited, the maximum is only a dozen battalions, which cannot pose a fatal danger to the court.

So this general's military strategy was approved by everyone.

Yan Da and others went south, and the officers and soldiers of the battalions they led also went south.

It was considered a victory, but almost all the officers and soldiers of their battalions were crippled. He Bin stayed directly in Yizhou, and the remaining officers and soldiers had to be reorganized.

These officers and soldiers did not fall under the weapons of Jiaozhi people, but under malaria. However, they died even more unjustly and could not ask the court for pensions openly.

So when Wang Juyi talked about this, everyone lowered their heads sadly.
