At the end of March, Cheng Jia and others returned to Tan County.

Seeing Xun Zhen, Cheng Jia recounted what happened in Yuzhou.

Xun Zhen was overjoyed and said to Cheng Jia, "You have made a great contribution this time, and I will reward you greatly!"

Cheng Jia said, "So you are not afraid of being punished, so you make your own propositions, and repay the Lord for your kindness. Is it a reward for money?"

"When you will be outside, the emperor's orders will not be accepted. The same is true when you send an envoy. If you only have merit, you will not be guilty!"

Xun Zhen praised Cheng Jia a few words, and seeing that he and Lu Guang, Jian Yong, and Handan Ji were all in the dust, especially Handan Ji, their eyes were bloodshot, knowing that they had not slept well on the road, and told them to go home and rest.

After they left, Xun Zhen ordered the government officials to distribute the rewards to the four of them.

Although Cheng Jia said that he didn't want the reward of money and goods, what should be rewarded should still be rewarded, and Cheng Jia had to be rewarded heavily.

Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Yuan Sui, Xuan Kang and others were all working in this office, and Xun Zhen ordered someone to invite them.

When the six of them came, Xun Zhen smiled and said: "Junchang is back. Wentai has the intention of attacking Chen and Liang, and Junchang said it, so that our army can enter the state of Lu, and help Wentai to suppress the Yellow Turbans. I don't want to come. There will be an order from Yuzhou that will invite me to send troops."

Xun Zhen was interested in entering Lu. Not only did Xi Zhicai and Xun You, who were in charge of the military aircraft, know that, but Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Yuan Sui, and Xuan Kang were in charge of the civil affairs, transfer of losses, and military resources of the two prefectures. Know.

Xi Zhicai said: "In this case, you can make preparations first. As soon as the Yuzhou Xuwen arrives, the troops can enter Lu."

Xun Zhen said, "Huanqing is waiting for you, this is exactly what you are doing."

He asked Xuankang, "How is the ordnance smelting?"

Xuankang is currently the Sima of the Shogunate and is in charge of military affairs. From the number of infantry and cavalry soldiers, to medical officers, and then to weapons such as army, armor, horses, and chariots, he is in charge of the amount of armor, chariots and horses. .

Xuankang replied: "The day before yesterday, another hundred knives and spears, ten crossbows, fifty bows, one thousand crossbows, two thousand arrows, and five collars of armor were included in the storage. The army and armor in the library can be used by ten thousand people for half a year."

This "sufficiency for 10,000 people for half a year" does not mean that another 10,000 people can be armed, but in wartime conditions, it can cover the consumption of 10,000 people for half a year.

"How about the reserves of cloud carts, rushing carts, and catapults?"

"The reserves of these weapons are insufficient. Previously, when Pi and Donghai were attacked, many of the cloud carts and other items originally owned by each battalion were damaged. Although they have been urged to build them in recent months, the amount produced is only enough to supplement the losses of each battalion. How much is left."

Xun Zhen said, "Zhu and Bian counties in the state of Lu are now occupied by the Yellow Turbans. If we enter Lu in the future, we will inevitably attack these two cities. We need to make workers and Cao work more intensively, so that they cannot be used in wartime." He pondered for a while and said , "Send an order to Pu Hu, and ask him to entrust the water conservancy to his deputy first, and let him go back to the government to supervise the production."

The "workers" mentioned by Xunzhen was not the state government workers, but the shogunate workers. All the armaments were made by the shogunate workers. Water is in charge of him.

Xuan Kang promises.

Xun Zhen asked again: "It's almost April, it's time to wear summer clothes, is Chang Wei enough?"

Chang Weifu is Wei Bian, the military uniform of the army, according to the Qin system, in April and September every year, soldiers are given summer and winter clothes. After the Danyang soldiers, Xuzhou soldiers, and Xiapi soldiers were incorporated, there were tens of thousands more soldiers in the battle and in the fields, and there were not a few summer clothes that needed to be prepared.

Xuankang replied: "At present, there are more than 20,000 collars each in the stocking, 20,000 each for socks and shoes, and more than 40,000 Weibians. Although it is not enough for each soldier, most of the hairpins in previous years can still be worn. Use, the stock is enough to distribute this year's summer clothes."

Xi is a short top, and wan is trousers. Because Wei Bian needs to send twice a year, the stock is twice that of Xi, Wan, socks and shoes. These are summer clothes and can be worn in winter. Winter clothes that need to be sent in September It is a robe, that is, a jacket.

Under normal circumstances, soldiers are also given Zen clothes, that is, single clothes, which can be worn as coats when the weather is hot, and shirts when the weather is cold. There are also many feudal lords who do not make this kind of clothing, and some even can't have the uniforms, jackets, robes, socks, shoes, and Weibians, and soldiers have to prepare their own clothing.

Xun Zhen nodded, then turned to Yuan Sui, and said, "Only the people of Donghai and Pengcheng counties, how many soldiers can be recruited in a short day?"

"Gengshi" refers to the people who go to the government to serve corvée. According to the Han system, all people at the age of service must serve one month's labor for the government every year, such as building roads, building city walls, including water conservancy construction, The construction of palaces and mausoleums for the royal family were all done by the soldiers, and the transfer of logistical materials for the troops was also within the scope of the soldiers' service work.

Yuan Sui replied: "The population of Fu Ji in Donghai and Pengcheng is now about 200,000, and if you take 1 out of 10, you can get 10,000 people."

"Fu Ji" means servitude. In the pre-Qin period, men began to serve in the fifteenth year. In the Qin period, they began to serve in the seventeenth year. In the former Han Dynasty, it was changed to the twenty-year-old first-fu, and in the Zhaodi era, it was changed to the twenty-three-year-old first-fu. At the same time, In the Qin Dynasty, the regulations of 56 exemptions for those with rank and 60 for those without rank were uniformly changed to 56-year-old exemption, and it became a custom that is still in use today.

That is to say, the age of military service starts from twenty-three and ends at fifty-six, and women are not required to serve in labor according to regulations. Therefore, among the total population of more than 700,000 people in Donghai and Pengcheng, there are two About 100,000 serving citizens.

200,000 people seem to be a lot, but these 200,000 people are the main labor of the people in Donghai and Pengcheng counties, and they must not be requisitioned too much at one time, otherwise it will affect the farming in the township.

Moreover, it is only the end of March, and there are still nine months until the end of the year. During these nine months, Xuzhou has to do a lot of things. The construction of the state school and the construction of water conservancy have already been decided, and there will definitely be wars again. , These are all those who need to be requisitioned. Although not according to Fu's age, nor according to the service period of one year and one month, the phenomenon of excessive labor service has been in force for a long time, but it is not a last resort. However, Xun Zhen still didn't want to do this. Therefore, he had to reserve necessary and sufficient manpower for various corvées for the next half year.

To sum up these two points, Xun Zhen thought about Yuan Sui's statement that "you can get 10,000 people", and said, "Donghai, Pengcheng and Lu are bordering the country.

Yuan Sui said, "Suiwen Lu has more than 100,000 yellow turbans, so Duke Ming only plans to send 5,000 troops?"

When transferring baggage from a medium to long distance, the number of servants is as small as the number of pawns, and the number of servants is several times that of the pawns. However, when the loss is transferred in a short distance, there are not so many servants, and at most it is equal to the number of pawns. Equivalently, since Donghai, Pengcheng and the State of Lu are close to the border, the number of servants can be even smaller. Therefore, Yuan Sui heard that Xunzhen only planned to requisition 3,000 servants, so he guessed that Xunzhen only planned to use 5,000 soldiers at most.

Xun Zhen smiled and said: "Since the first year of Zhongping, I have fought a lot with the Yellow Turbans, and I am familiar with the military situation. With the strength of one county in Mount Tai, most of the Qingyan Yellow Turbans in the territory can be expelled from the country. I have five thousand elite soldiers. The 100,000 Yellow Turbans against Lu is too much."

Yellow Turbans have always been the unity of soldiers, family members, and villagers. Except for the old and weak, at most half of the 100,000 Yellow Turbans are capable of fighting. More than ten thousand, Xun Zhen attacked them with five thousand elite soldiers, which was enough to win, and his purpose of fighting was not to annihilate all the more than one hundred thousand yellow scarves in Lu, but just like Mount Tai, he just wanted to expel them from the state of Lu. Drive them away, forcing them to continue westward, so that they can take the opportunity to enter Yan, so sending 5,000 troops is not only enough, but more than enough.

Yuan Sui said: "Ming Ming's army is like a god, and it must be compared to the prefect of Mount Tai."

He didn't know much about the military, and seeing that Xun Zhen was so confident, he didn't ask any more questions.

Yuan Sui is the chief history of the shogunate, and he is still above Xuankang. Among Chen Qun, Xuankang, and Puhu, he is in charge of the most shogunate officials, but in terms of specific affairs, Xuankang , Chen Qun, and Pu Hu are in charge of the number of troops, military resources, and ordnance, which are directly related to the combat effectiveness of the army and the logistics of the army, while the soldiers, Ji Cao, Cao Cao, and Wei Cao under his charge are mainly responsible for the army. Recruiting troops, collecting grain, transferring materials, levying corvée and other military affairs related to civil affairs.

Xun Zhen asked Xun Yu, "Wen Ruo, only recruiting 3,000 people will not affect the agricultural affairs of the two counties, right?"

Xun Yu replied: "The number of three thousand is very small, and it will not affect farming."

Xun Zhen nodded and said, "I'm relieved." Then she said to Xun Yu, "Tomorrow, Qing can sign with the shogunate to communicate the two prefectures and order the conscripted servants." After a pause, he said again, " Tell the Wei Cao of the two counties that cheating is not allowed in the matter of conscription. You should send a few more competent Shi Zuo to inspect the counties and townships of these two counties. , so that the two counties will be severely punished!"

There are two types of corvée, one is civil and the other is military, and now it is military labor, so the shogunate must participate, but the main body is still the state government, and the shogunate mainly plays a role in urging, supervising and verifying the number of people.

Xunzhen used to be a village rank husband in the past, and he had sent corvés in Xixiang to the official temple, so he knew that there were many famous ones: because it was one of the rights and responsibilities of the village rank husband to collect and send corvés for the official temple. When the county temple passed an order~www.readwn.com~ when it was necessary to requisition corvée, some villagers would practice favoritism and cheat, not letting their relatives and friends serve, or because they dared not enlist the corvée of the local tyrants, they would give the disadvantaged people The fact that households increase their service time is common everywhere, and there is no way to completely prohibit them, but it cannot be ignored, and supervision and management must be strengthened.

Xun Zhenzhuan said to Chen Qun, "Changwen, you need to prepare enough food, chamois, money and other items according to the number of 4,000 foot soldiers and 1,000 cavalry before deploying the army. March needs."

If you just want to expel the Yellow Turbans from Lu, it won't take a month, but if you want to add a raid on Yanjun, it will take about two months. Therefore, Xun Zhen ordered Chen Qun to prepare enough money for three months.

The number of shoguns under the command of Chen Qun is less than that of Xuankang and Yuan Sui, but all the items he is in charge of are related to the lifeline of the army, such as the main army colony, Tian Cao who keeps war horses, the main grain storage, the gluttonous army, etc. Cang Cao, who stores and other things, Jin Cao, who is responsible for money and cloth, including the sergeant who collects taxes in the main army city, and the various expenditures in the main army, are also in charge of him.

Xun Zhen was very aware of the amount of grain, chamois, and money cloth in the army, so he did not ask Chen Qun about the stock of these items, but directly ordered him to prepare these materials before the war.

Chen Qun agreed.

Before the troops and horses were moved, the food and forage went first, and all the military affairs related to the dispatch of troops were determined separately. Xun Zhen said to Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai: "This time I enter Lu, I intend to lead the troops to go on an expedition in person. The two things will be entrusted to the two of you."

When Xun Yu heard this, he immediately objected.
