Planting a Tech Tree in Three Kingdoms

The cause is simply drought.

Drought is the most difficult disaster to find, because if it does not rain today, everyone will think that it will rain tomorrow!Then just wait like this day by day, until the crops in the field can no longer grow, or even wither.One year like this, two years like this.The harvest in the fields is not good, and the court is increasing taxes day by day.The people are miserable.

Zhang Jiao of "Taiping Dao" wanders around the countryside all year round, using the power of faith to appease the hearts of the people, so he has many followers.In February of this year, Tang Zhou, his disciple, informed the imperial court that Zhang Jiao, the leader of the "Taiping Road", was preparing to gather disciples to revolt. Ma Yuanyi, the leader of Dafang who was in Luoyang, was arrested and died in a car crash.Therefore, Emperor Ling ordered Sangong and Sili Xiaowei to track down those who served Zhang Jiao in the palace and the capital, and killed more than a thousand people, and ordered the prefectures and counties to arrest Zhang Jiao and others.When Zhang Jiao saw that the incident was leaked, Xingye notified the 36 parties he belonged to, and all of them rose at once, all wearing yellow scarves around their heads. People at that time called it the "Yellow Turban Army", and Zhang Jiao called himself "General Tiangong".The younger brother Zhang Bao is called "General Digong", and Zhang Liang is called "General Rengong".

This is the information Nan Xing received, and now it is meaningless to ask whether Zhang Jiao really wanted to be informed about the incident, or if someone deliberately falsely accused him of forcing him to riot.Because along with the information came the emperor's order and Zhang Gui's entrustment.

Emperor Ling ordered all localities to independently recruit troops to resist the Yellow Turban Army in the territory, and the borders also needed to be strengthened.But Zhang Gui bluntly said that someone in the court has suggested that the emperor amnesty the party members, and there will be results in a few days. If Nanxing has promising talents, it is best to recruit them as soon as possible.After all, if the imperial court recruits, those scholars who are suppressed and still have illusions will definitely not be willing to go to Yinping.

Nan Xing told these things one by one at the weekly regular meeting. Seeing the slightly tense atmosphere in the hall, she finally felt that the troubled times had come.

In fact, the pressure on Yinping is very small compared to other counties.Perfect water conservancy facilities and water storage equipment allow the peasants to irrigate as soon as they realize that a drought is coming. The perfect land distribution, population management system and obedience trained by long-term learning make the people of Yinping very stable. In addition, they are rich Those preachers of the "Taiping Road" were discovered and closely monitored as soon as they entered Yinping. Their words to fool the people were not as good as the schools that Nanxing built in various villages, and the people simply ignored them.After a long time, Nan Xing no longer paid attention to these wandering mice, but ordered people to find a way to lure them to other places.

After this test, she is very confident in her "people's education" achievements.

Food and grass are sufficient, production lines are complete, and the supply of soldiers is sufficient.Nan Xing didn't think that a group of temporarily formed desperadoes would be a big problem. The Yellow Turban Army probably couldn't even beat the regular army of the Han Dynasty, but they only had a chance of winning if they took the first opportunity.

"Master, please ask someone to write a letter about the Yellow Turban Army. The emperor asked to recruit troops to protect the county and send it to every village and county." Nan Xing broke the oppressive atmosphere. What she wants to test now is how the people protect themselves. what the land can pay for.

Xi Zhicai figured out Nan Xing's intentions in an instant, and immediately made a generalization with Nan Xing, and we will talk about it after a detailed meeting.

As for talent...

"Junshou, I would like to go back to Yingchuan to recruit some people for you." Xun Yu had no idea when he said this. There are many talents in Yingchuan, but various families are not necessarily willing to help Nan Xing with eunuch background at this time. .My good friend Zhong Yao is already an official in Luoyang, and he won't be back in a short time.But Yingchuan would fall into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army without accident, and he was worried about those tribe members who were unwilling to leave Yingchuan and move to Zitong. As the patriarch, he also wanted to go back and have a look.

Nan Xing understood and agreed to his proposal.He also told him not to work too hard, now Yinping would rather be short than excessive.Xun Yu took the order and thought about writing to his uncle and contacting the clansmen.

"In short, a small number of recruits have recently strengthened the defense." Under Guo Jia's suggestion, Yinping began to implement the strategy of loosening the outside and tightening the inside.

Zhang Liao, who was originally on the frontier defense, was changing defenses back to Yinping County at this time. After several years of training, Zhao Yun was able to guard the border defense for Zhang Liao alone, guarding against Gongsun Zan and Dong Zhuo.

"My lord." Zhang Liao knelt in front of the hall in military uniform, and the fifth captain also knelt not far behind him.Nan Xing looked at the map in front of him with his hands behind his back. The map drawn according to the six bodies of cartography was probably the most complete map that could be done at the moment.These maps are drawn by modern calculation methods based on the data collected by the intelligence personnel of Southern Star Life over the years, and they are extremely detailed.

"The Yellow Turban Army's uprising, although my county is not affected, but the towns bordering other counties will definitely be affected." When Nan Xing explained the next task to his generals, the captains interrupted her.

"What the lord asked us to do is that we can't understand what I said!"

"That's right, my lord just give the order."

Nan Xing smiled helplessly, and looked at Zhang Liao who was thinking.I have to say that Zhang Liao is a veritable wise general. The literacy and art of war training courses she arranged for the army, most of the soldiers are hasty, and even the generals are not very serious --- to be a military commander above the corporal leader. Most of them are literate and know the art of war.However, according to Nan Xing's requirements, they must shout slogans every morning during their morning exercises, subtly instilling the concept of "protecting the people" into them, and the goal of literacy will be achieved.The rest of Nan Xing didn't force it either, Zhang Liao was an exception. Zhang Liao, who was born in a noble family, liked to study the art of war. After Nan Xing taught this class, he was even more eager to acquire knowledge.You know, most of the people who want to learn now are led in by teachers, and then they hold one or two books and study for a lifetime.However, Nanxing's school, whether it was in the village or in the military camp, could provide a breadth of knowledge that people at that time could not even imagine.

Basically, there are books for whatever you want to learn.Of course, this is also due to the lack of knowledge types at this time-even if Nan Xing personally compiled the textbooks after exchanging opinions with the knowledge she still remembered and her professional knowledge at this time, she is not omnipotent.

In short, Zhang Liao is a good student.In just a few years, he has learned all the knowledge of the teachers in the barracks (Nan Xing's subordinates), managed an army of tens of thousands of people in an orderly manner, and integrated the management knowledge he learned into the management of the army.I don't know where he came from.

In short, Zhang Liao did not listen to Nan Xing's arrangements like the captains, but thought about the deployment of the army. "Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou, and Jingzhou all border me. The Yellow Turban Army's uprising will surely cause a large number of refugees to flee to our county." This will put a lot of pressure on security.

Others are in Yinping, but the deployment has been arranged as early as the defense change. As long as there are no accidents, some refugees will not cause harm to the northwest defense, but he is worried about the southeast area as the production area and the southeast area as the communication channel with Luoyang.

"Do you need us to lead troops to guard? There will be no problem in the northwest in a short time." Zhang Liao proposed.

Nan Xing understood Zhang Liao's thoughts, and rejected Zhang Liao's proposal under the expectant eyes of the captains. "The Yellow Turban Army is no more than a rogue, and the village is unstoppable. I am afraid that the minority tribes in the northwest will take this opportunity to launch a rebellion and attack our towns in the northwest." In fact, within a year, the Qiang people will revolt, and in two years, Zhang Chun will rebel. .And these two border battles became the last step in the rise of Gongsun Zan and Dong Zhuo.

Even if he knew about these things, Nan Xing did not intend to interfere.When Liu Yu arrived in Youzhou a few days ago, she heard her letter asking about the policy of ethnic minorities, but she didn't mention Gongsun Zan's untrustworthiness.

This was the advice Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai gave her when Xun Yu returned to Yingchuan.For one thing, Liu Yu used to cooperate happily with Gongsun Zan, and now that he is serving as Shepherd of Youzhou again, naturally he will not be easily persuaded by them to turn against him.Second, if Liu Yu is rescued when Gongsun Zan is really cornered, he will naturally gain the trust and gratitude of the gentleman Liu Bo'an, and he may be able to directly take over the territory under Liu Yu's rule.With such an irrefutable reason, Nan Xing gave up the idea of ​​recruiting Liu Yu now.But he told Liu Yu his governance methods and ideas in correspondence, and wanted him to "help himself" govern Youzhou in these years, so that they should be able to relax a lot when they occupy Youzhou.

It's a bit insidious, but Nan Xing knows this is the only way to go.

Zhang Liao could not predict the future like Nan Xing, so he didn't take the minority rebellion seriously at this time. "According to your instructions, I have hired young and middle-aged Hu people at high prices over the years on the border, and all ethnic groups have been dispersed into the army. Women and children of various ethnic groups are also sent to factories or schools, and then paid with tea and salt and other daily necessities. It can be said that the current border A few tribes rely on us to live and must submit to me." There is no possibility of rebellion, Zhang Liao swallowed the words, but this meaning was revealed in his eyes and he looked at Nanxing.

Nan Xing asked the captains to retreat and Zhang Liao to come forward.

"You see, there are indeed no hidden dangers within our jurisdiction." She moved her hand across Yinping County, pointing to Youzhou and Bingzhou, "The current Youzhou Zhonglang General and Bingzhou Governor are both from Hu people." Gongsun Zan He and Dong Zhuo were born in modern Hebei Province and Gansu Province respectively, and they are both of Hu-Han mixed blood. "One is friendly with the Qiang people and cannot be trusted, and the other has a tough attitude towards the Hu people. What do you think?"

Dong Zhuo was good at befriending Hu people, and had a very good relationship with the local Hu people --- good ones were a bit abnormal, and Gongsun Zan had a very tough attitude, basically shooting to kill Hu people.Both approaches are worrying enough.

Zhang Liao quickly figured out the joint, "Dong Inspector probably allowed the Hu people to attack our territory in order to benefit the Hu people." Just like the time when the former county guard died in battle, he let the Hu people attack other counties, and then made the siege himself In order to win military exploits, "Gongsun Zhonglang will arouse the resistance of the Hu people, and Youzhou Mu may not be able to stop it." The warlike Hu man Zhang Liao has some experience, he is not sure Liu Yu can resist live.

Nan Xing nodded, "Now that you understand, do you know what to do?"

Zhang Liao solemnly bowed to Nan Xing, "The last general knows, please don't worry, the governor."

The author has something to say:

In the Western Han Dynasty, accurate maps were already drawn, and in the Western Jin Dynasty, Pei Xiu summed up the principles of his cartography.

Pei Xiu of the Western Jin Dynasty proposed that the principles of map drawing include "six elements of cartography": one is the fraction (scale), which is used to measure the size of an area; distance), which is used to determine the distance of the road; the fourth is high and low (the height is removed, and the distance is a horizontal straight line); the fifth is Fangxie (the side is oblique, and the oblique is taken as a straight line distance); Straight, take the straight as a straight line distance), these six principles are summed up as the three elements of scale, direction and distance discussed in modern cartography, indicating that drawing a map must establish a scale, measure the direction between features, and obtain The horizontal straight-line distance between objects.

Pei Xiu also pointed out the functions and interrelationships of the "six bodies". He believed that the six bodies must be used comprehensively and referred to each other, otherwise it would not be possible to correctly draw a map reflecting the actual landform.
