Chapter 18 War and Planning

"Uncle Xue Guletu, I would like to invite the leaders of various tribes to my house to discuss the matter of desert control next year." Li Feimeng came to the bunker of the Tataer tribe and extended an invitation to Xue Guletu, the leader of the Tataer tribe.

Xue Gulet stared at Li Feimeng with eagle-like eyes, and did not speak for a long time. Li Feimeng was very confused, "Uncle Xue Guletu, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Xue Guletu snorted, and said: "Genius doctor, things on the grassland are very complicated. You sell your wine, plant your trees, and avoid getting involved in the tribes. I do this for your own good."

Li Feimeng said: "Uncle Xue Guletu, thank you for your advice.

I want to run a school and recruit some people to study. You know, people who cannot read can't do many things.

Are any of your children willing to come and learn from me? "

Xue Guletu was silent for a few breaths, and said: "We Tatars have our own script, so we don't need to learn foreign languages.

I know that the genius doctor is a wise person, if you are willing to come to our tribe, I can let you serve as the national teacher of our tribe and teach everyone, including me. "

The Tatar people are Tatan people. They used to be the overlords on the grassland during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, so they naturally have their own writing and language.

Li Feimeng said: "I'm very sorry. I came here to control the desert. I can't help you. Please forgive me."

Xue Guletu finally showed a smile, and said: "I admire the miracle doctor. We Tatars have lived on the grassland for generations, but no one has ever thought of controlling the desert. The miracle doctor is the benefactor of our grassland.

I hope that the genius doctor can marry a woman from our Tataer department, especially my daughter, whoever he likes, just come and propose marriage to me. "

Li Feimeng said: "Okay, I will remember Uncle Xue Guletu's words, so don't be reluctant when the time comes."

Li Feimeng bid farewell to Xue Guletu, and felt very disappointed. What he thought was a surefire thing died before it started. This made him realize for the first time that the water in the grassland is really deep.

Yang Fan heard Li Feimeng's experience, and said: "We are too naive. The Kingdom of Jin does not allow the tribes of the grassland to form alliances. The Tata'er tribe is the eyes of the Kingdom of Jin to monitor the tribes. Inviting them to participate in tribal meetings is equivalent to asking the emperor to support the people to build him. of anti.

These tribes are going to fight sooner or later, we remain neutral and do our own thing. "

"Is the school still open?"

"It can be done, publicize it among the recruited workers, sign up voluntarily, and don't need to ask the leaders of the tribes for their opinions."

"It's too chaotic here. After the new year, you all go back to the knight's village. Who is responsible for the matter of diverting the Yellow River into the desert?"

"Let me come. The knight village is handed over to Brother Hu. Xi'er has been running the forest outside the Great Wall, and I'm the only one who is free."

"Let Dumb and Niu Man'er go with you, it's too dangerous for you to be alone on the grassland."

Yang Fan said worriedly: "Golden men who build the Great Wall will definitely sweep the outside of the Great Wall, Xi'er is more dangerous, let them reduce the number of people in the forest, and try to retreat to the side pass.

There was a war on the grassland, and the bunkers here were not safe. Duan secretly built a bunker in the desert, with groundwater, stored a lot of food, and opened a small oasis.

The people here, when the war broke out, immediately abandoned the bunker and retreated into the desert. "

Li Feimeng said: "I have already negotiated with the Wanggu Department about the cooperation in selling wine. Let the Wanggu Department send more people over, and the Qiyan Department can also join forces. It's not a last resort here, so don't throw it away."

Li Xi'er said: "Master, I'm afraid you don't know that the Wang Gu tribe is also loyal to the Kingdom of Jin, and they may not be reliable."

Hu Yao said: "We should fight the Kingdom of Jin. Only by winning the Kingdom of Jin can we deter these wolves on the grassland. Why don't we use the side gate first?"

Yang Fan said: "It is easy to fight down, but it is difficult to defend for a long time. We must minimize casualties and wait for favorable opportunities.

The Qiyan Department is threatened by the Zadalan Department and the Tatar Department on both sides. Who will the Qiyan Department attack first? "

Li Feimeng said: "The relationship between the Zadalan tribe and the Qiyan tribe has good times and bad times, and they are not sworn enemies. The Tata'er tribe and the Qiyan tribe have deep blood feuds. The Qiyan tribe intends to reconcile, but the Tata'er tribe is unwilling to accept it. The two are most likely to go to war.

But with the current strength, neither side can eliminate the other.

To break this situation, either the Zadalan and Tataer tribes jointly attack the Qiyan tribe, or the Qiyan tribe alienates the relationship between the Tatar tribe and the Kingdom of Jin, and with the help of the Kingdom of Jin, eliminate the Tatar tribe.

The Kingdom of Jin built the Great Wall of Yehuling, and obviously had doubts about the barrier function of the Tata'er Department. The relationship between the Kingdom of Jin and the Tata'er Department is already very dangerous. It only takes a small flame to detonate a war, Tata'er The Ministry knew nothing about it.

Luck is all calculated, there is no providence, this is the counter-plan of the Qi Yan Department. "

Yang Fan said: "So, the Begging Yan Department has also defected to the Kingdom of Jin?"

Li Feimeng said: "Take refuge? The Kingdom of Jin originated between black mountains and white waters. Geographically, it is related to various tribes in the grassland. The Jurchens are originally grassland tribes. Their relationship should be understood as the relationship between the strongest tribe and ordinary tribes.

Jin Guo repaired the Great Wall. This matter was obviously aimed at the Tataer tribe. It can be seen from this that Temujin was not only able to talk to the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, but also very trusted.

The Tatar Department did not accept my mediation, and the chance for peace was gone. Xueguletu had already fallen into Temujin's scheme to alienate him. It can be seen that Xueguletu's intelligence is not as good as Temujin's, and failure will happen sooner or later.

As long as we know about this matter, don't spread it to the outside world.

The Kingdom of Jin is our enemy, and the Tatars are loyal to the Kingdom of Jin, so they are our enemies.

Temujin had an unusual relationship with Emperor Jin in private, so he also needed to be careful. "

Hu Yao asked: "Tata'er Division has failed, will we not become Temujin's vassals?"

Yang Fan said: "The tribes in the grassland have close ties with the Kingdom of Jin, and none of them are reliable.

We and the Wanggu tribe rely on cooperation to sell wine, and we are unreliable in the face of the threat of the Kingdom of Jin. The grassland people value blood. People marry Wang Gu.

Cast more nets, no matter who fights who in each tribe, we just sell wine, recruit people to plant trees, and don't get involved in the conflicts between tribes.

If the Kingdom of Jin attacks the Tata'er tribe, the Knights will take the opportunity to take the pass and show their strength, only the strong will be joined. "

Li Feimeng asked: "How many soldiers are there in the Knights Village?"

Hu Yaodao: "This year, the territory expanded to a radius of 30 kilometers. The south of Loufan County is all under our control. There are more than 3000 soldiers, and if you include the militia, it will exceed [-]."

It turned out that after adopting Lin Hongni's suggestion, Xia Kezhai broke the blockade of the Kingdom of Jin with authentic cattle herds and expanded its territory.

Coupled with the huge profits from selling wine, there is nothing to do.

First, according to the principle of "living in a good place, having a good heart, doing good things at a good time, and doing things with good ability, so you can win without fighting", set a few rules for the cottage:

1. It is forbidden to rob and steal property, damage other people's property and compensate according to the price, and the murderer will die

2. Build bridges and build roads on the main roads in the mountains, and set up cards on the road sections to collect [-]% of the caravan's toll.

3. Undertake the task of escorting business travelers between countries

4. Surrounding villages and towns that pay money and food to the cottage will be protected by the cottage, and commissioners will be sent to organize the villagers to publicly judge the matter

5. The cottage eradicates illiteracy, and each person writes a monthly report every month.

6. All internal exercises, annual competition rankings

7. Food, clothing and housing will be provided by the cottage, monthly money will be paid for the assessment, monthly report, and missions assigned by the cottage, and the income from escort missions will be returned to the public.

Yang Fan divided more than 600 people in the cottage into a team of 30 people. Each team selected two people to follow him into the village, recruited the villagers into the threshing field, and demonstrated the inclusion of the village on the spot:

I first asked about the population of each family, and saw that many people lived on rented land, and the land was concentrated in the hands of three landlords. The tenant farmers only earned one-twelfth of a year's work, and many owed huge debts.

There are three chapters in the Law of the People's Republic of China:

1. Killer dies

2. Theft

3. Compensation for damage to property or injury to others

It was announced on the spot that in the future, it will be changed to a new regulation of paying [-]% of the food to the cottage and being protected by the cottage.

They ordered people to copy the title deeds and IOUs of the landlord's house, burned them all in public, and then made a new deed, stating the amount of land owned by all villagers, and asked every household to sign and fingerprint.

Then the villagers were asked to elect a few people, and several landlords elected one person to join a knight-errant villager to form a discussion group to manage land use, daily labor plans, output distribution, and contract enforcement. Temporarily exempting rent and building houses, and helping each other without food.

Pay 10% of the grain to the cottage when harvesting, and pay 10% of the monthly profit for planting and processing, and never increase taxes.

The people left behind in the knight village organize discussions and stay in the village. If no one files a complaint, there is no need to interfere with the decision-making of the discussion group. If someone files a complaint and cannot be dealt with, report it to the counterfeit military division. Usually, the young and strong in the village are organized to practice martial arts on a regular basis, as a monthly payment for the counterfeit assessment standard.

Yang Fan continued to lead the people to choose a place in the mountains with good connections in all directions, establish a trading market, build houses, and let the village organizations that have been incorporated to bring in surplus agricultural and sideline products to trade here.

After the demonstration in one village and one town, go back to Xiakezhai to tell everyone to learn. After everyone understands, leave a team with good culture to recruit new people in Shanzhai Tongchou, and send all the others to Luliang Mountains to collect villages and towns and organize production transactions.

After a busy year, all the villages in the Lvliang mountain area south of Loufan have been incorporated. There are more than [-] people in the village, and more than [-] young and strong militiamen trained in the village.

Through the introduction of relatives and friends, the cottage hired a group of blacksmiths to make weapons. Originally, they could only buy scrap iron for reprocessing.

Once, when digging a tunnel in the mountainous area near Taiyuan in the Lvliang Mountains, a solid black stone was dug out, but the blacksmith recognized it as iron ore. This unexpected discovery gave Xiakezhai a source of iron ore from then on.

There were originally many open-pit coal mines in the Luliang Mountains, and iron was smelted from coal to create a steady stream of swords, arrows, armor and other weapons.

Mayi and Wanggu in the south of Yinshan Mountain were originally horse farms, so there is no shortage of horses if they are rich, and even the villagers have raised horses in every family.

Those who made slow progress in martial arts were continued to be sent to the mountains to collect villages, and Hu Yao led a team to mobilize and collect mountain bandits.

In order to reduce the government's interference in the village, all the roads in and out of the mountain were blocked by the knights' village, and the tunnels and Niu □□ were attacked by mistake, and military households could not enter.

The desert is covered with snow, and the cold wind howls. In the various castles in the bunker, people are talking and drinking, and melodious huqin and singing sounds from time to time. During this celebration, few people realize that the storm outside the window has never passed.
