Is it difficult to fight the Dangxiang? Before the Battle of Sanduchuan, Xu Ping was not sure. In the history of his previous life, in various literary and film works, each of these rebellious ethnic minorities was good at fighting, with their leaders wise and powerful, and their soldiers were not afraid of death. The impression Xu Ping had obtained from it was that if the Central Plains dynasty had not been able to die many times.

What is actually? Of course it is not the case. Dangxiang's military strength has always been at a disadvantage all the way in Shaanxi. The Song Dynasty was dragged by Dangxiang in a mess. One reason was that the command system had lost its strategy and combat command capabilities, and the other was that the army had lost its mobility and always formed a situation where the more it was beaten by Dangxiang. The Song Dynasty was not defeated by Dangxiang, but was killed by itself. There were historical reasons for the formation of this situation, and it could not be explained clearly in one sentence.

Reestimating the strength of both sides, in Xu Ping's current view, after completing the military training, he could destroy and sweep Dangxiang with only 150,000 troops in his hand and swept Dangxiang. The mobile forces that Yuanhao could use were about 150,000 people in the eastern front, including the Hengshan Qiang tribe, while on the western front, there were only 100,000 mobile forces available. The 100,000 Central Army and several military supervisors were stationed in the army, which was only 160,000 to 170,000 troops. With the regular army against the tribe army, the same force, one attack and one defense, and one soldier could also kill Dangxiang.

Sitting back on the seat, Xu Ping looked at everyone and smiled and said, "This battle against Yu Zanghuama is a small test. The army should not be complacent because of victory, but should use the rest of their spare time to carefully find out their shortcomings. After occupying Yuzhong and Huichuan, we are no longer facing the Fanluo Army, but Dangxiang Zhengjun. This time, three thousand "Babazi" came. Most of theirs were actually cheated by Yu Zanghuama's people, not destroyed by us. There will be no such good things in the future.

. Everyone has seen the difference between the main army and the Fanluo army from the 3,000 "Bubazi". In the end, we surrounded each other with heavy cavalry, and more than 400 people died. Most of the soldiers who died in this battle were there. Of course, if you win, you will win. If you fight, you will not be too heavy to find your own shortcomings. If you win, you will not be happy. That will certainly not work. Learning lessons and finding your own shortcomings is limited to the commander and above. The following officers and soldiers celebrate the merits according to normal."

Speaking of this, Xu Ping said to Zhong Shiheng: "Prime Minister, you will pay 100,000 guan from the General Administration first. Don't do anything else, just change the wine and meat. This month, let the soldiers participating in the war eat and drink well. You must arrange how to distribute wine and meat. Every soldier, even if he cooks and feeds the horses, must ensure that there is a large bowl of thick meat soup every day. If there is a deviation, you will ask!"

Zhong Shiheng responded and thought about it: "Will the price of cattle and sheep in Qinzhou increase by 100,000 yuan for wine and meat?"

"It's good to rise. It's winter. The Qiang herders can't raise so many cattle and sheep during the winter. If we don't buy it, the price will inevitably fall. This is the annual routine. We are here. This year, we have harassed the foreign tribes around Qinzhou, and have a lot of robbery in the villages and have all registered households, which makes many people feel uneasy. When they are in trouble, it's hard to win people's hearts by showing them with kindness. As the saying goes, adding icing on the cake is worse than giving timely help. Now we collect cattle and sheep in large quantities, which is a timely help.

The army bribed, the general's mansion came forward, allocated money, and then collected cattle and sheep. Taking advantage of the cold winter, marinated into bacon and sold it to the Central Plains. Or wait for the Wei River to freeze and transport fresh meat to the Central Plains with large ice cubes. Let the people in the Central Plains eat cheap meat and make the money they need. Isn't it the best of both worlds? Muslim guards, don't just think about what the people under the rule do, but also think about what they can do for them. With the heartfelt support of the people, it will be much easier to fight the war."

Speaking of this, Xu Ping said to everyone: "It is often said that rewarding merits and doing things. After the war is over, the battle is won. Now is the time to reward merits and doing things according to merits. Don't take it lightly. You must do this well, so that the battle will be complete. The deputy commanders of each army must work hard on this. Which one does not do well? The general's mansion will cause trouble for him!"

When it comes to rewarding merits and practices, everyone relaxed. This was the first great victory for the war between Dangxiang. According to conventional rules, the court would inevitably give a heavy reward. Each official present was promoted to one or two levels.

At this time, Zhong Shiheng had the heaviest burden on his shoulders. He was in charge of the rewards and meritorious services of the General Administration, and was also a magistrate of Qinzhou, and both military and political aspects must be taken into account. Speaking of rewards, Xu Ping now has enough money, but Zhong Shiheng dared not spill out money directly. In Luoyang, he worked in Xu Ping's Transportation Office, and the economic concept was very clear. The distribution of money in a large amount of money at once will inevitably cause shortages of materials, causing soaring prices, and good things will become bad things.

How to satisfy the soldiers participating in the war and minimize the impact on Qinzhou's local economy as much as possible. Zhong Shiheng has to grasp the degree. For him, this battle has just begun.

Xu Ping asked his personal soldiers to come to tea and let everyone chat and relieve their depression these days.

Since I learned that Yu Zanghuama was going to invade a few months ago, Qinzhou started preparing step by step. Due to Xu Ping's high attention, everyone felt that he was carrying a thousand pounds of burden on his shoulders. In the end, the final battle was almost a farce, and it ended without any big battle. Now, when I think back on the days in the previous few months, everyone finds it funny.

After drinking tea for a while, Xu Ping said to Wang Gongchen: "June, this time, there are many foreign people captured, and we will not release the prisoners of war back, so as not to cause trouble in the future. Are there still people in your field management? If you lack people, choose some healthy and submissively supplement them. If you don't have enough, I will all go to the south to transport grain."

Wang Gongchen said: "Let them get food transport. The farming and field affairs are all Han people. Everything has certain rules. If you come to some foreign people, you may cause some trouble. If you really lack people, you should recruit them from Sichuan and Shu, so we can save a lot of trouble."

Xu Ping nodded: "It's good. After this battle, many places around were empty. There were a lot of people in the camp and land management, so they could only recruit from Sichuan and Sichuan. This time, all the foreign tribes who participated in the battle, even those who did not come to Sanduchuan, would still have to break up their clan tents. Those who were dissatisfied with the tents of the villages. Those who were disrespectful would have to send them to prison cities in various states or to transport grain in the south. The land of their tribe was empty. If you send people to check in various places, you would be in charge of land management and land management."

Wang Gongchen agreed with a smile. Most of the fields suitable for cultivation in this area are in valleys, and not all places are suitable for farming. If the land is too small, you can only build a village, which will pay for the farming business. The land of farming business changes. Some places become unprofitable and will be abandoned by the farming business and sold the land. Especially in the Central Plains, when the landing business is cultivated, many people will give up after it becomes mature land. The landing business staff who start a family and start a business will become local households.

The limitation of productivity. When the population increases and the fields each person cultivates are small enough, the management cost of land management will increase, and it will be unsubstantiable to continue this form. What is really suitable for land management is to farm in the border areas.
