Chapter 1013 Continue fishing
Seeing a group of local sages vying to kneel and lick Governor Feng, Shi Bao next to him was eye-opening and felt a perverted pleasure in his heart.
What kind of gentle gentleman?
What acts with ease?
That's all because the knife hasn't hit me yet.
Pooh, a bunch of hypocrites!
General Shi looked at the licking dogs in the distance with disdain, making sure that they couldn't hear what they were saying. Then he bent down and asked respectfully next to Feng Junhou:
“Your Majesty, do you really want to agree to them?”
Having someone bring a chair, Governor Feng, who was sitting by the river enjoying the cool breeze, glanced sideways at Shi Bao, who was half-hunched over, and asked:
“What? You haven’t finished venting your anger yet?”
They just cut off your financial path back then. Now you are about to wipe out all of them. Are you still not satisfied?
"No, no!" Shi Bao saw Feng Jishi's expression and said quickly, "What the general means is that the situation on the Hexi side is unknown now, in case..."
"There is no chance." Feng Jishi said, "I have no intention of crossing the river. As long as I don't cross the river, there is no chance."
Crossing the river may be a great success, but it is also accompanied by great risks - because there are not enough troops on hand, and the rear front has been stretched too long.
Still, Hedong is a strategic place. As long as you squat in Hedong, you can not only keep the results obtained now, but also make Wei State's upper and lower peace.
Crossing the river, being able to destroy Sima Yi is certainly a great achievement, but there is a high probability that he cannot be destroyed.
Because in addition to Tongguan, there is also Wuguan, and I can't make a wireless radio, so I can't cooperate with the prime minister.
At that time, Sima Yi cannot be killed at the front. If Jiang Ji from the rear breaks out from Zhiguan again, there is a risk of losing part of the victory.
So, crossing the river with a large army may seem very tempting, but if it had been anyone else, they might have been impulsive.
But in the eyes of Governor Feng, the cost-effectiveness of this matter is too low - a certain company is pursuing high profits and low risks, you know what!
In any case, King Feng Gui would definitely not admit that he was subconsciously worried about his future.
But having said that, although the troops in hand are not enough to guarantee the victory across the river, there is no problem at all in guarding the east of the river.
If Jiang Ji really dares to take the lead, Feng Jishi will dare to chop off his head.
As for Sima Yi, if he really wanted to send reinforcements into Hedong, he should have sent them long ago.
We should never let Xian Yufu lead tens of thousands of people to stay in Hexi.
Of course, even if Sima Yi suddenly changed his mind and now wanted to send people across the river, Feng Governor would dare to step aside and let him come over.
Compared with cavalry on flat ground? Who is afraid of whom?
There is no need to be afraid of cavalry versus infantry on the plains.
Anyway, General Guan is by his side, and Governor Feng is full of courage.
After all, there are only three people in the world who have the opportunity to see the full picture of the eight formations created by the Prime Minister.
Although Feng Jishi couldn't learn it, he couldn't resist the two who had a little success. One was placed in Qiaoshan by Feng Jishi, and the other was taken by Feng Jishi.
So this is the confidence that Feng Jishi is not afraid of the Wei thieves in Guanzhong and dares to stay in Hedong to clean up the family.
"Hedong will eventually be a place that the Han Dynasty will govern in the future, and the aristocratic families will not be able to kill them all. It is enough to kill some of them to scare the monkeys."
Killing chickens to scare monkeys is just a means, the purpose is to force the remaining aristocratic families not to dare to act recklessly and to cooperate obediently.
The time does not need to be too long, ten years is enough.
Ten years were enough for Feng Jishi to lay out the Central Plains.
The man Jiang Taigong was fishing, and those who were willing to take the bait took the bait.
I, Feng Jishi, fish for fish, forcing people to take the bait.
Look, after fishing for so many days, didn’t this fish just come by itself?
Hum, the limitations of the feudal landlord class!
Shi Bao is indeed talented, so Governor Feng didn’t mind telling him more:
“There is still more than a month left, and it may snow in the Hedong area of Guanzhong. We have to prepare to spend the winter in Hedong before it gets completely cold.”
This battle in Guanzhong dragged on for a long time, which was a bit beyond Feng Jishi's expectation.
Sima Yi's reputation as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle is indeed well-deserved. His escape was almost cut off, yet he was able to hold off the Prime Minister for so long.
The Liangzhou Army cannot find the supplies and locations for the winter by themselves, right?
It is definitely the most convenient way for the wealthy Hedong family to take the initiative to bleed.
“The general will understand.”
Governor Feng glanced at the local man over there who was trying to catch a fish for himself, and asked:
“Where is the Unjuvenated Camp? How is the situation?”
Most of the people in the Weijuan camp were women who could read and write and their families gathered from various counties in Hedong.
Mainly women, with family members only incidentally.
"Back to the king, there are more than 2,000 women in the camp. If we include their families, there are nearly 5,000."
"More than two thousand people? It's really beyond my expectation." Governor Feng raised his eyebrows, "It's indeed Hedong. The only ones that can be compared are Hanoi and Henan."
The literacy rate in ancient times was pitifully low. A random search in Hedong can actually find more than 2,000 literate women, which shows the profound background of these wealthy households in Hedong.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand. Since we are setting up a camp for unmarried women, why do we have to let the families of those women follow us? Wouldn't that be a hindrance?"
Without a family, what’s the point of having a family?
Hearing this, Governor Feng clicked his tongue and glared angrily at this guy who was full of corrupt ideas:
“What do you think the unmarried camp is? The women’s camp? If we don’t let them bring their families, how can we let them stay with peace of mind?”
During the war, men have to go to the battlefield, and their life or death is unknown.
Women may not fare any better.
Especially among them, many of them have lost their family members and even have nowhere to go. We can’t let them fend for themselves in this troubled world, right?
Feng Jishi was compassionate and took them in to prevent them from being humiliated by the rebels. What's wrong with that?
Of course, at the dark moment when they were hurt both physically and mentally, some talented people in the Liangzhou army gave them warmth in time. When someone fell in love with each other, Feng Jishi couldn't do anything to stop it, right?
Now we are not dependents, but when we have feelings later, we will become dependents.
Shi Bao suddenly realized something and quickly complimented:
"The prince has pity on the poor women and cares about the life-long affairs of the officers and soldiers. It is true that he has good intentions, but the general's thinking is too shallow."
Feng Jishi smiled and did not explain.
In the past two years, the quality of students sent by Royal College has improved significantly.
Unlike back then, students’ goal after graduation was to become a clerk.
Otherwise, why would Governor Feng dare to take exams and select talents in Liangzhou last year?
In addition to the increasing quality of teaching in colleges, there are also factors related to the source of students.
However, most of the students in the college are still students selected from schools in various places. So, what changes have happened in the students in schools in various places in recent years?
First, after the aristocratic families in Shu were dismembered, a considerable part had to sink and be integrated with the grassroots of the Xinghanhui system in order to continue.
For example, Li Ming came to Liangzhou from Yuexun to take the exam.
His sister was married to a middle-level general from Yuexun County, and this middle-level general was the one who had retired from the Huqiang Xiaowei Mansion to the local area.
With this connection, Li Ming was qualified to go to Liangzhou to take the exam.
Of course, assuming that Li Ming is younger and has not yet mastered his knowledge, he can also find a way to enter the college and become a student of the college with the help of his in-law status.
If Li Ming's sister has a child, her child will definitely receive a certain amount of education from an early age.
Because of the identity of the father, the children are basically the beneficiaries, supporters, and builders of the Xinghanhui system.
This is one of them.
Second, literacy was enforced within the Xinghan Society, such as in the military, in workshops, etc.
It has been more than ten years since the first batch of people who were forced to become literate. Their second generation has begun to grow up, providing a relatively high-quality student source for the Royal Academy.
At the time of the Nanzhong Rebellion, when Feng was the governor of Diannong School, he took in a group of women who came from Nanzhong.
The literate women among them were placed in nurseries to take care of children, which provided a lot of help for the enlightenment education within the Nanxiang Department at that time.
The decentralization and opening up of educational resources are the basis for the continuous expansion of the Xinghanhui system.
At that time, almost everyone was horrified by Feng Jishi's method of training troops and forming an army.
Only the Prime Minister judged fundamentally that he was imitating the previous Han Dynasty and wanted to build an army mainly composed of good family members.
But since the decline of the Later Han Dynasty, how many truly good men like the former Han Dynasty are there?
What the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty did not expect was that Feng Mingwen actually found a way to forcefully create a group of good family sons.
What are the characteristics of Liangjiazi?
The first thing is to have a permanent income.
And these permanent assets are not enough to keep them worry-free for generations to come. They still need to work hard.
The second thing is that they are at least proficient in writing.
Because they have read books, it is easier for them to understand certain principles. In order to ensure that their descendants can continue to enjoy all this, they must do their best to maintain the current order of wealth distribution.
Especially the second article, it not only ensures the smoothness and accuracy of military orders, but also ensures the will to fight, which does not contribute to improving the combat effectiveness of the army.
To put it bluntly, they were the middle class of the Han feudal empire.
The middle class is an important indicator of whether a society is healthy and stable.
It’s just that the current good family class in Ji Han appears a bit strange.
Because according to previous history, everyone used one generation, two or even three generations to build up their family wealth first, and then they could have the opportunity to study.
The wealth and knowledge of Ji Hanliang's family appeared at the same time, or were forcibly created, a bit like artificial growth.
Premature babies are basically weak. The current good family class created by the Han people also faces the problem of too shallow foundation.
So while Feng Jishi was trying to continuously strengthen this class, he also had to find ways to consolidate its foundation.
How to consolidate?
While strengthening internal cultivation and not relaxing, we must also constantly absorb new blood.
Where to find new blood?
Is there any blood in this world that is more nutritious than that of aristocratic families?
The Shu family is almost sucked to death, so you, the Hedong family, can't let me take a few bites?
I’ve never heard of Feng Gui Wang’s night conquest of a thousand girls…
Bah!
I've mispoken.
What I mean is, if I take one sip, it will be one thousand. I only took two sips!
Grab money, food, territory, and what not!
Hand them all over!
Don’t say that I, Mr. Feng, am trying to kill all the aristocratic families. Some aristocratic families in Hedong are indeed severely damaged.
But these women may be their opportunities in the future.
Because after a few years, maybe there will be some more grandchildren, nephews, etc., isn’t that a ready-made relationship?
Marriage and relationship building, isn’t this what your family is good at?
The Shu family can sink and integrate with the grassroots of Xinghanhui, but the Hedong family cannot sink?
It is true that wealthy families can be killed endlessly, but they can be dismembered into many small families, and even divided into many smaller families.
Let their class decline and become the middle class of the Han Empire.
Open up the upward path for the people at the bottom and dismember the aristocratic families that block the upward path.
With this move up and down, won’t the good class come out?
Governor Feng leaned on the back of his chair, tapping the armrest gently, with a comfortable expression on his face, enjoying the cool breeze blowing from the river.
Shi Bao only thought that Feng Guiwang was admiring the scenery on the river, but he didn't know that what Feng Guiwang was looking at was not the big river, but the long river of history...
At this moment, the villagers over there suddenly made a noise, causing the two of them to look away.
But I heard someone shouting loudly:
“I caught it, I caught it!”
I saw a river carp flapping its tail and rolling around by the river. Its scales shone golden under the westward sun.
Governor Feng stood up and grinned:
“Okay, what a big fish!”
Feng Jishi was fishing in the east of the river and harvested a lot. At this time, the bait that Sima Yi had placed in the west of the river hurriedly went down Qiaoshan and was heading towards Tongguan.
In order to get to Tongguan as soon as possible, after Guo Huai descended from the main peak of Qiaoshan, he did not take the Qinzhi Road to Chang'an, but directly followed the valley of the southern section of Luoshui, all the way south.
The land west of Hexi, starting from Dahe in the east and reaching Luoshui in the west.
In order to allow the soldiers to get better rest and to better protect the safety of the ferry, General Guan had already led his troops to station in Xiayang City.
Xiayang City originally belonged to the Liang Kingdom, but the Later Qin Dynasty destroyed Liang and reduced the Liang Dynasty.
This is a strategic location in Hexi and a battleground for military strategists.
In the nearly century-long battle between Qin and Wei for Hexi, the Wei State had to build a city and garrison here if it wanted to seize Hexi.
If the Qin State wants to consolidate the west of the river and then annex the east of the river, it must also seize this place.
General Guan is stationed here. He can advance south or west at any time, and when retreating, he can protect the safety of Longmen Ferry at the rear. It can be said that he can advance and retreat freely.
Although she is leading the army to rest, as a qualified general, it is naturally impossible for her to relax her monitoring of the Luoshui area.
Guo Huai, who came down from Qiao Mountain along the Luo River, was quickly discovered by General Guan.
“General, there seems to be a large number of Wei thieves in the Suyi area!”
“Su Yi?”
General Guan stood up suddenly and raised his slender eyebrows:
"Why did the Wei thieves appear there? Are you sure there are a lot of thieves? Are they not suspicious soldiers?"
“It is not yet certain whether they are suspected soldiers. Some spies discovered that they may have come down from Qiaoshan.”
“Qiaoshan?”
General Guan's heart moved. He turned around and walked to the sand table. He stared at it for a while, and then compared it with the map hanging on the wall.
“Could it be that the thieves want to abandon Qiaoshan?”
“Well, now that we have crossed the river, if the thieves guard the bridge mountain, our way back will be worrying..."
General Guan murmured.
“So the thief wants to run away!”
Zhao Guang came up to him with excitement on his face, "General, we can't let them run away!"
