Chapter 197 Super political skills, double-sided!

  Chapter 197 Super political skills, double-sided!

  The Great Zhou calendar is 7285 years old.

   It has been two years since Li Yueming sent the Xingyue Army Cavalry Battalion to fight the Qin Army.

   Also this year, Li Yueming finally turned eighteen.

   Became a real adult.

  In the past two years, the Star-Moon Army has developed at a very impressive pace.

  The biggest reason is that the number of residents of the Northland whose families were ruined under the horseshoe of the Qin army is too many.

  Residents living in villages and towns now gather in large towns in the north.

  No way, villages and towns are not protected by the army.

  A large number of people can only go to those big towns with city defenses and walls,

   Only in this way, Qin Jun dare not trample on their lives unscrupulously.

   But there are only so many big cities in the Northland with garrisons.

   At the beginning, they may be willing to let some refugees into the city.

  But the number of residents who entered the city later was too large, and the housing and other facilities in the already bloated city were not enough.

  The imperial court could only urgently cut off the channels for other urban residents to enter the city.

Refugees from the North who had nowhere to go did not dare to go to the West Frontier. After all, the imperial court had set up checkpoints in several key towns entering the West Frontier when they were distributing relief food. There were no guides and local household registrations. All the refugees in the country are prohibited from fleeing to the land of the western frontier.

   Moreover, the land in the western frontier is still fighting, and it is also not rich.

   Therefore, a group of refugees had no choice but to flee south or east.

  Northeast is the area under the jurisdiction of King Yu. Although it is poor and backward compared to the rich land of the Central Plains, at least it has not been affected by the flames of war at this moment…

  Of course, there are more refugees who have been out of food for a long time and are still bringing their wives and mothers. They feel that they are unable to move eastward, and they choose to seek asylum in Beibinghe Town because they have nowhere to escape.

   After all, Beibinghe Town is the most famous station of the Xingyue Army in recent years.

  If there is another army in the North that can defeat the Qin army with its strong combat effectiveness on the frontal battlefield.

   Then looking at the whole Northland, there is only Xingyue Army and one family.

   As long as they can enter Beibinghe Town, maybe they can settle down.

   At least you don’t have to be woken up suddenly by Qin Jun with a fierce green face and fangs when you are sleeping in the middle of the night.

   Li Yueming of course agrees with both hands and feet.

   After all, what Beibinghe Town lacks most is people.

   Only when there are more people, can there be a snowball effect, making the development of Beibinghe Town faster and faster.

   Soon, the news that Beibinghe Town accepted refugees spread.

  The refugees hundreds of kilometers around Beibinghe Town started to gather here after hearing the news.

  In just two years, the number of new residents in Beibinghe Town has exceeded 50,000.

  The vast majority of them are strong laborers in their twenties and thirties.

   After all, no matter which dynasty or world, the first to die in a disaster year will always be the old, weak, sick and disabled.

  Only the prime-aged labor force with strong vitality at the time can survive.

  However, it is a big problem to properly resettle this group of refugees.

  In a short period of time, the population without houses and jobs caused the entire North Glacier Town to become chaotic again.

   Fortunately, the imperial court allocated a lot of food to Li Yueming in the past two years.

  In addition, You Aotian would often find ways to raise a batch for him.

  So at the moment Beibinghe Town can still withstand it for the time being.

  The geographical location of the Zhou Dynasty was inland, and it belonged to a poor country in terms of various rare mineral resources.

   But in terms of farming, Da Zhou is in a pretty good position.

  The Zhenxi Pass in the western frontier is a natural barrier, helping Da Zhou to block Da Qin from the army of tigers and wolves in the northwest.

  The 100,000 mountains in the north helped Da Zhou block the coveting of several other countries.

   Daqi, which borders it in the northeast, is a coastal country.

   Qi’s energy is basically used to expand the sea.

   have no interest in launching a meaningless war of aggression on land.

   Such a geographical location is undoubtedly very comfortable for farming countries.

   But the perennial peace has also caused many people in the Great Zhou to lose their sensitivity to war.

  The Zhenxi army in the western frontier is fighting the Qin army to death.

  But the folks and courts have never been greatly affected by this.

  Even in the eyes of the vast majority of people, the horror of Qin Jun actually only exists in legends.

  —After all, even a group of impoverished stinky mounds in the western border can block it.

  How powerful can the so-called Qin army who swallowed thousands of miles like a dragon be?

  Until five or six years ago, the Qin army bypassed the land of the western border, opened a road from the 100,000 mountains in the north, and appeared straight in the north of the Great Zhou.

  The people of Da Zhou deeply felt the terror of the Qin army.

  Move like a mountain, move like lightning.

  Like a pack of hundreds of thousands of hungry wolves, they are fierce and vicious.

  The Zhou court has successively sent nearly half a million troops to the north in recent years.

   But it was still ignored by the 150,000 Qin army.

  Riding unscrupulously on the Northland is like entering the land of no one.

   Therefore, the Great Zhou court, which now feels a great threat, will set its sights on Li Yueming.

   After all, at this moment, look at the whole big week.

   It seems that only Li Yueming, the Xingyue Army born out of the scout battalion, performed better.

  In order to be able to obtain Li Yueming’s training methods and training methods.

  Whether it is the imperial court or Zhou Tianzi, Li Yueming is almost always responsive to his requests.

  If it wasn’t for Li Yueming’s special status and insufficient qualifications.

  Maybe at this moment, the higher-ups will really award Li Yueming the position of a first-rank general.

  …

  In the past two years, Li Yueming painted cakes for Emperor Zhou several times.

  At the beginning, the effect of painting cakes was not bad, and Zhou Tianzi was eagerly waiting for his good news.

   But after a long time, Zhou Tianzi seems to have reacted.

   After all, you can’t do it again and again.

  This year, Li Yueming no longer dares to continue drawing cakes.

  In order to appease Zhou Tianzi and the court.

  Li Yueming can only come up with some real things.

  Since this year, he has drafted several memorials one after another.

   are some things that need to be paid attention to when creating a new army.

   In addition, in order not to lose the word, part of the training methods of the new army was also handed over.

  Of course Li Yueming is not that stupid.

   What was revealed to Zhou Tianzi and the imperial court was only in form.

  He must have kept the core method.

   After all, it is not uncommon for disciples of the church to starve to death of their masters since ancient times. Naturally, it is impossible for Li Yueming to make such a low-level mistake.

  The reason why I have to be patient and choose to make a big fuss about the form.

   In fact, it is only because Li Yueming’s wings are not strong enough now. If his personal strength is strong enough, he might have changed his course and established himself by now.

   Through various interest exchanges.

  Li Yueming can still maintain the normal operation of Beibinghe Town for the time being.

   It’s just that this is obviously not a long-term solution.

  Refugees have no houses and no personal residence.

   They can only live in temporarily collected houses and simple shacks for rest.

  The time slot is okay.

   If the time is a little longer, I am afraid that the streets in Beibinghe Town, which have been cleaned up with great difficulty, will become stinky again.

   In addition, the refugees have no houses and no food.

  Crime rates in towns and cities are likely to soar.

  If at that time, the disaster victims become mobs, they will completely lose control.

   Therefore, Li Yueming must find ways to get them to settle down quickly.

   Fortunately, Li Yueming had already accumulated enough experience in this aspect in the last martial arts world.

   This is the time to act concisely and efficiently.

   It can even be said that the calmness makes people panic.

  First of all, Li Yueming activated a group of exiled officials from Beibinghe Town. .

The leaders were Xue Zhiqian, the servant of the household department who was exiled to this bitter cold place for punishment because of the failure of the political struggle because of standing in the wrong team when the previous emperor of Zhou and the current emperor of Zhou handed over, and his first response to Li Yueming’s log Lixin’s son.

  No way, there are too few talents available in Beibinghe Town.

  Even the number of readers who can read and write is very limited.

  The twelve reincarnations in the cavalry battalion now belong to the military and political system.

  Li Yueming did not want to involve them in the administrative system.

   It seems that only this group of exiled criminals and criminals are still of value.

  No matter how you say it, Xue Zhiqian and others were outstanding figures in politics in the past, and many of them were even senior scholars who ranked among the best in the literary examination.

  Although he was relegated to a miserable end.

   Potential but not yet wasted.

  Of course, Li Yueming would not give them any official positions in name.

   After all, these are the criminals exiled by Emperor Zhou. Before they have completely turned against Emperor Zhou, it is impossible for Li Yueming to absolve them of their crimes.

  However, without giving official positions, they can also be responsible for some specific things.

  Don’t ask, it’s a temporary worker.

   After seeing Li Yueming.

   A group of officials who had already been worn away by the cold north wind and the rushing water of the Arctic River wept bitterly.

  You must know that since Li Yueming came to Beibinghe Town until now, they have been looking forward to the stars and the moon, and they hope that Li Yueming can notice them.

   After all, Beibinghe Town is not shitting. If Li Yueming intends to develop here, then they will definitely not be able to avoid them.

  If you are lucky, you may be able to escape the hard life of farming.

  So now I heard that Li Yueming was going to give them some tasks.

  This group of people almost had to prove to Li Yueming their sincerity.

   Li Yueming is not surprised by this, after all they have been waiting for him, so why hasn’t he been observing them?

After issuing the order, Li Yueming looked down at a group of officials kneeling at his feet, and said, “I don’t care how brilliant you were in the past, or how miserable you were in the past, I only care about whether you can be used by me, and I only care about your ability How much value it brings to me!”

   “If you let me know if you have any double-mindedness, or if you have made any mistakes, you should stop growing potatoes here and go directly to swim in the Arctic River!”

   After speaking, Li Yueming flicked his sleeves and let them leave.

  Huang Li’er, who was acting as a personal guard by her side, couldn’t help being a little shocked when she saw this situation.

  To be honest, she has felt that Li Yueming is different these years.

   This man is like a deep mountain in the fog.

  Even though they knew they were close at hand, most of them could only see a blur because of the dense fog.

   Whenever there is a gust of wind, it blows away the thick mountains hidden in the dense fog.

   Just showing the tip of the iceberg is enough to be amazing and inexplicable…

   Enabled after talents.

  Li Yueming immediately ordered all the refugees in Beibinghe Town to be checked.

   Counts the number of old, weak, sick, disabled and young adults.

  After simply registering it in the register, the work will be assigned immediately.

  It is early spring at this time.

  Li Yueming summoned 10,000 strong laborers.

  5,000 of them began to grow grain in the wasteland not far from Beibinghe Town.

  That barren land is different from the fertile soil in the lower reaches of the Arctic River, and the growth efficiency of food is not so strong.

  The remaining 5,000 were secretly transported to the fertile soil downstream of Beibinghe Town for planting.

  The reason for the mixed crops is that Li Yueming didn’t want the specific amount of grain produced in Beibinghe Town to be exposed to everyone.

  The grain yields planted in the wasteland near Beibinghe Town are clearly visible.

  About six to seven hundred catties.

  It is slightly higher than the ordinary land yield of residents of the Northland, but it is not too high.

   At that time, he only needs to block the fertile soil in the lower reaches of the Arctic River to prevent people from approaching, and wait until the harvest is over to announce the grain production.

   At least in the short term, there should be no exposure problems.

  Among the remaining 40,000 refugees, 10,000 are old, weak, sick and disabled.

   In other words, there are still 30,000 available.

  Li Yueming once again dispatched 20,000 young and middle-aged men to go fishing in the Arctic River.

  The most important thing the ancients paid attention to was relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the sea to eat the sea.

  Don’t underestimate this river, because it is close to the Shiwanda Mountain, the fishery resources in it are extremely rich, and there will be a large number of salmon swimming back in September every year.

  When the salmon is the most, the whole river can’t even see the water.

  The river is full of dense fish.

  As long as the fishing industry is mature enough, it is not a problem for this river to feed 300,000 people.

  The reason why 20,000 strong laborers were sent to fish.

   Naturally, it was because the amount of food in Beibinghe Town could no longer be supported.

  It takes time to cultivate the land and transport grain.

  It can be fished without needing it, just rub some hemp rope to weave a net.

  The caught fish is directly thrown into a ceramic cauldron and boiled on the spot to make fish soup.

  Refugees who have a job line up first to drink.

   can solve the urgent need.

  In the end, there were 10,000 strong laborers who were carefully selected by Li Yueming.

   Directly expanded to the 1st Battalion of the 1st Infantry Regiment of the Star-Moon Army.

  The first task I received was to work with the cavalry battalion to repair houses for the people who had no place to live.

  As for the remaining 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, they are responsible for doing some chores.

   Such as hemp rope for weaving fishing nets.

   Another example is cooking for strong laborers…

  Since a year and a half ago, Li Yueming announced that he would accept refugees to take refuge in Beibinghe Town.

  The population of the entire Arctic Glacier has risen linearly.

  Originally, everyone in Beibinghe Town, including the Xingyue Army, thought there would be a great deal of fun.

   Didn’t expect Li Yueming to have more political experience than they imagined.

  No matter how many people come at the same time, he can digest them in the shortest time and put them into production immediately.

   This really made many people feel dumbfounded.

  Emotional General Li is really a full-time master?

  Is there anything in this world that he doesn’t know?

   Of course, anyway.

  The large population of Beibinghe Town is also beneficial and harmless to them.

   After all, the Xingyue Army is now stationed here, and the greater the development of Beibinghe Town, the more successful their Xingyue Army will be!

  For a while, the entire Beibinghe Town was busy.

   There are shouts everywhere, which is completely different from the deserted and quiet past.

   This is the power of population.

  No matter which world you are in, people who are as humble as ants are often the most inconspicuous.

   But in the end, no matter how powerful those strong people are.

  But still can’t ignore their existence.

  …

  Li Yueming took in refugees in Beibinghe Town, while the Qin army fought the autumn wind in other places in the north.

   Occasional conflicts between the parties.

   But most of the time, there is a subtle tacit understanding.

   There were 150,000 Qin troops, and the leading general was Montaigne, the general of the Qin army.

   There are two princes accompanying the army, namely the First Prince and the Ninth Prince.

  The Ninth Prince was in charge of the original plan to invade the Northland from beginning to end.

  Now, suddenly an eldest prince popped up and took away part of the rights of the nine princes.

  Obviously the Ninth Prince must have been affected after going back this time.

   But this is normal.

   After all, Li Yueming interfered with the Ninth Prince’s mission in the extremely cold snow mountain.

   As a result, the Qin army’s plan for a full-scale invasion failed, and they could only send a small group of troops to harass. Under such circumstances, it is normal for the eldest prince to take away some of his rights.

  Of course, these are not very important to Li Yueming.

  Li Yueming would occasionally take the Xingyue Army out to take the initiative to fight the Qin Army.

   But most of the time, they just intercept some small groups of troops.

   After showing the banner of the Xingyue Army, they fought casually, and then let the Qin Army leave on horseback.

   This was an agreement between Li Yueming and the Ninth Prince on the extremely cold snow mountain.

  Li Yueming will find a way to help the Ninth Prince seize the throne of Qin, and the Ninth Prince also needs to cooperate with Li Yueming in some operations.

  The nine princes themselves are at a disadvantage in the battle for the crown prince.

  So although I didn’t have too much hope for Li Yueming’s statement, I didn’t directly reject it after thinking about it.

   What if?

  He coveted the supreme throne for a long time.

  As long as he can climb to that position, no amount of sacrifice is worth it in his opinion.

   Therefore, after entering the North with the army, the Ninth Prince contacted Li Yueming according to the code.

  The purpose is to let Li Yueming criticize his half-brother, the First Prince, thereby weakening the First Prince’s influence in the army.

  The 150,000 Qin troops who invaded the Great Zhou were generally divided into two factions.

   Among them, Montaigne, as a general, did not participate in the battle for the crown prince.

  Standing in the middle does not help anyone, it is equivalent to a referee.

  The faction of the nine princes is the left forward camp, and the faction of the eldest prince is the right forward camp.

  Currently, the faction of the Nine Princes is weak in the army.

   After all, the eldest prince is older and has a deeper prestige in the army. Seventy percent of the 150,000 troops are supporters of the eldest prince.

   The supporters of the Ninth Prince are less than 30%, and some of them are vacillating.

  If you follow the normal process, the Ninth Prince will lose in this battle.

  Unwilling to fail, the Ninth Prince naturally had to find ways to follow some unusual procedures.

   Naturally, Li Yueming had no reason to refuse.

  He played so many chess moves between Da Zhou and Da Qin, didn’t he end up being caught between Da Zhou and Da Qin?

  …
