Chapter 227: Surrounded on three sides


Everyone is intensively preparing for war or speeding up the process of war as much as possible, and the atmosphere of the war on Liu Yan's side is particularly obvious, especially the small-scale fighting in the six counties of Qingzhou is intensive, and it can almost be said that it is in a situation of smoke everywhere.

"We have a shortage of administrative officers."

Liu Yanshen frowned: "The situation is not obvious now, but this will become a shortcoming that restricts our future development." ” Everyone knows the seriousness of this situation, but it is not possible to solve it if you know it.

Although it is difficult to find a person who walks on four legs, and officials want to crawl all over the ground, in the era when 99.9 percent of people are illiterate, it is not so simple to become an administrator.

Qingzhou is erosive, and the shortcomings of officials are like that for the time being, but Qingzhou will not be eroded forever.

Liu Yan ordered the normal development of Changguang County and Dongmu County, adopting traditional county governance and a cooperative village model.

Under normal circumstances, a county would have at least six or more counties, and such counties would be considered small.

A large county can only be called a large county if it has more than 20 counties.

Under the county system, a county is composed of multiple townships, and a township is composed of multiple li, and one li is divided into multiple pavilions.

Although the pre-Qin period has been extinct for a long time, the county system that has been adopted since the pre-Qin era has really not changed much.

In addition, the county system did not exist during the period of the First Emperor, but was the product of the Shang Dynasty reform, mainly to grab territory and resources from the princes, royals and nobles.

The population of the Han Department is not large, and the counties are divided into 28 counties, and the counties with a population of more than 30,000 are divided according to the population of at least 10,000 or more in small counties and more than 30,000 in large counties.

Twenty-eight counties need at least twenty-eight county magistrates, with twenty-eight county magistrates, and there are six cao under them, which are soldier Cao, criminal Cao, Gong Cao, Li Cao, Hu Cao, and official Cao, and the number of "degree branches" is also needed.

The degree branch is actually the official position of statistics and support, which is a product of the Cao Wei period.

Except for the management of the pre-Qin dynasty, which went down to the township, the rest of the dynasties basically reached the county level, and there was a vacuum below, but Liu Yan obviously didn't want to have any vacuum.

Therefore, in addition to those officials and officials in the county, there must be any township head, village head, and pavilion chief, and then there are supporting Qiangfu and Youfu, so how many qualified administrators are needed to fill in the administration of a township, collect taxes, catch thieves, and enforce public order.

It is not a simple matter not to want to "lose power in the county", especially since the more land there is, the more officials are needed.

But it is not possible to change the angle, there are many retired soldiers due to injuries during the pioneering period, and those positions in the countryside are used to place them "This is a strategy to stabilize the morale of the army, and it will definitely make the soldiers die."

Sang Yu can be regarded as an eye-opener, and nothing is more important during the war than buying the hearts of the military.

It's still an old problem, Liu Yan likes to climb high, and he has experience when he is blown by the wind, and he can pull up the cloth wall or put a screen in the direction where the wind blows, so as not to hinder the view of other directions.

Xiami is still under construction as an extremely important town, in addition to reinforcing fortifications, as a command hub The army will not be less, resulting in the surrounding area being covered with many camps.

The number of troops gathered here was 80,000, and the slogans came from some playgrounds, which were the troops in drills.

During the period of cold weapons, too much attention was paid to the individual martial arts of the soldiers in the military formation, because the collective cooperation on the battlefield was more important than the individual martial arts.

Unless the personal force is high to a certain extent, it is often difficult to defeat the four hands with two fists on the battlefield, and the battlefield is a crowded state, but there will not be much space for the master to show his skills.

On the battlefield, it is a tough battle, and to compete which side has the stronger will to fight, it is necessary to use more means to improve morale on the basis of clear rewards and punishments.

What they are talking about is how to further make the soldiers have a sense of war, the treatment they should have before has been determined, and any more will be a profit or a loss.

In the past, some people thought that Liu Yan treated the military too favorably, which would lead to the appearance of old soldiers, but after the new round of conscription was announced, seeing the high morale of those troops from the rear and the eagerness to fight, the things that were obviously worried did not appear.

"We have a 20th rank system, we have measures to treat the injured well, and we have arrangements for the afterlife."

Sang Yu admired this whole system very much: "The morale of the soldiers is not a problem, and we are not short of baggage, whether we can tide over the difficulties is a matter of strategy." ” Because he knew that war would break out, the Han Ministry paid great attention to several states around Qingzhou, and the movements in several states were not small, and Shijie Zhao Guo did not seem to pay much attention to the matter of collecting manpower in the autumn was already in full swing.

In fact, the Shijie Zhao State was a deformed country, and the farming system had long since collapsed due to wars.

Without a safe environment, farmers can plough and sow seeds in the spring, and the sowers don't know if they will survive until the autumn harvest.

Shi Hu didn't know what it meant, he was crazy enough to ignore the production system, autumn was the busiest season, but he dared to recruit soldiers before the autumn harvest was completed, and he didn't care about the fact that some nomadic tribes needed a lot of manpower to raise livestock in the autumn.

The crazy energy of Shijie Zhao Guo had a certain effect, as the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty that was released to fight was a little panicked, and it was also a large number of people to be recruited before the completion of the autumn harvest, and it was foreseeable that because a large number of young people were transferred, how short of labor south of the Yangtze River should be this year.

Another one who was affected was naturally Murong Yanguo, who was originally still playing happily with the Buyeo people in the forested area, but when the news of Shijie Zhao Guo arrived, Murong Hao dared to drag it out any longer, leaving some troops to continue to entangle with the Buyeo people, and the large army retreated to a certain extent, and the front of the troops pointed to Yuwen Xianbei after a little rest.

In the face of Shi Hu's madness, who dares to take it lightly, and at the same time, of course, Hanbu is also affected.

"Fei Yan has already begun to march into Yanzhou, and has met with stubborn resistance at the beginning.

Now it is blocked in Fenggao.

"What Sang Yu said is the key issue, which proves that Shijie Zhao Guo has reacted.

He said: "The chief general who commanded the Zhao army in Yanzhou is named Deng Heng, and he is a fierce general. ” Deng Heng is the general of Shijie Zhao's expedition, and his rank is really very high.

The intelligence system of the Han Ministry also spied on the news about the direction of Jizhou, Sun Fudu had already arrived in West Pingchang, and as soon as he arrived, he built a camp on a large scale to gather troops from all over the southern part of Jizhou.

Sun Fu is the general of Shijie Zhao State, according to the division of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he is a three-rank military general, and he presides over the military affairs in the south of Jizhou, how can you see the degree of attention.

Another piece of news is that Wang Luan, the general of the Left Guard, was appointed as the chief general in the direction of Xuzhou, which is equivalent to the deprivation of the military power of Guo Xiang, the assassin of Xuzhou, and then Xuzhou should be decided by the system of the center of Xiangguo.

Looking at the movements around Qingzhou, no matter how you look at it, it is taking a kind of encirclement posture, and the level is extremely high, it is impossible to say that Shi Hu did not have the intention of making a move against the Han Department.

Liu Yan had lost contact with Zhang Shi in Xiangguo, he specially checked the map in his mind, and found that the "green dot" on the side of Xiangguo had stayed in one place for a long time, guessing that Zhang Shi and the others should be hiding Everything is very telling, especially when Zhang Li has become a little talkative recently, and he is no longer as arrogant as before, which has to make Liu Yan more vigilant.

"The autumn harvest will be followed by a time of great war."

Ji Chang squinted his eyes slightly and said, "Zhi insists that he should take the initiative before this. ” "The medicinal materials are still being raised, but it is really time to take the initiative."

Sang Yu said a little fanatically: "We didn't have iron cavalry before, but now we have thousands of iron cavalry, and with almost the same number of light cavalry, the disadvantage in field combat is no longer a problem. ” In many wars, the logistics materials are by no means simple grains or ordnance, and the proportion of medicinal materials is also very important.

Perhaps many people don't know that disease is the biggest scourge of military casualties, and every hundreds of thousands of people actually die on the battlefield in a war, but disease can often take two or more people's lives, and if there is an epidemic, it will be even worse.

It is by no means alarmist, for example, the last time Yao Jing only lost 20,000 people in the epidemic, it was considered to be handled properly, and the outbreak of circulating colds often wiped out the entire army, and even spread to the localities, forming a great epidemic that took millions of lives in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Yao Jing's ferocity towards those who are sick may be a kind of mercy to the rest of the people in some ways Speaking of which, there is no shortage of horses in the Central Plains today, but the number of horses south of the Yangtze River is scarce, but the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has at least a force of nearly 10,000 iron horses The war horses in Liu Yan's hands are not surplus, but hundreds of thousands of horses, including war horses, can be handled, and some cavalry structures have been added to the army this time, and the number of non-systematic cavalry has been increased to 5,000, counting 10,000 auxiliary riders, the cavalry is 15,000.

"Is the mobility of the cavalry relatively speaking, or is it best to march on foot."

Ji Chang is not cutting Sang Yu's face, he has a specialization in the art industry, obviously Sang Yu's understanding of the cavalry is biased: "Without the assistance of the infantry army, it will be very troublesome for the cavalry to feed the forage." ” Sang Yu really showed a stunned expression: "It's a Hu person."

"The Hu people are all light horses, and the types of war horses are all bantam Mongolian horses.

Such horses are not delicate, and our mount, the bantam, is used to carry things.

Ji Chang showed a proud look: "Otherwise, how can you become an iron knight?"

In fact, there are not many iron cavalry in the Han Department, how can cavalry without vest be counted as iron cavalry The real number of mounted cavalry is only one thousand and five, that is, the tiger army trained by Ran Min.

No one bothered to say anything nonsense that the dispatch of the attack would provoke Shijie Zhao Guo to attack on a large scale, look at Shi Hu's transfer of generals, they all put on a high-pressure encirclement of Qingzhou, and just start doing it directly
