Chapter 189: Li Daozhen like a she-wolf
Chapter 189 Li Daozhen, who is like a female wolf
On the land more than 300 miles from Hangu Pass to Hulao Pass, the Zheng army, the Tang army, and the Xia army hundreds of thousands of troops started a bloody battle.
Li Daozhen, who was far away in Lingzhou, looked at the endless fields outside the city and looked emotional. After a long time, Li Daozhen sighed and said, "As long as there are enough personnel, it will soon return to its former prosperity and even become more prosperous!"
People are the foundation of this world. With enough manpower, nothing can be done, but without anyone, nothing can be done.
Lingzhou is the heart of the Yinchuan Plain, the prosperous area of the Yellow River irrigation area, and one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization. It is an important part of Hetao culture and the intersection of the northern nomadic peoples and Han culture. However, it is precisely because of the intersection of Han and Hu in Lingzhou, especially when the world was in chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, that the Turks launched a crazy massacre of the Han people, and the entire village turned into ruins.
Li Daozhen lamented that there was no manpower, and in fact, it was not that Lingzhou had too few populations. As early as the Han Dynasty, more than 80,000 households had been immigrated to Lingzhou, totaling more than 400,000. In the fifth year of Daye, the five counties of Lingzhou had a total of more than 76,000 households and more than 40 people. However, at this time, the population of Lingzhou permanently occupied Lingzhou was less than 50,000, and nearly nine out of ten Lingzhou's local population disappeared. Although Chen Ying rescued the captured Han people from the Turks, although the population of Lingzhou had exceeded the 150,000 mark at this time, one-third of them were more than 10,000, and nearly half were not Han people.
Yang Ze, the general manager of Lingzhou, sighed and said, "The people of Lingzhou are afraid of being killed by the Turks. You have taken in so many Turks. The Han people from other places dare not move here at all. Where can I find enough people to go?"
Li Daozhen said: "Don't we have so many slaves in Lingzhou?"
"Those stupid, stupid and lazy Turks?" Before Yang Ze answered, Song Wushao complained: "They can do some hard work, let them mine, dig charcoal, raise horses, sheep, and make fur in nitrogen, but they can't grow the land!"
Li Daozhen said: "They don't. We can send a skilled husband to teach me step by step and find someone to stare at them?"
"That's not possible. They like to be lazy and like to eat secretly. There is no way!" Yang Ze shook his head helplessly and said, "Often our experienced farmers teach them step by step, and people monitor them for doing it. Even the strong men among slaves are not worth half of them. It is not possible to ask them to plow the fields independently. Especially on the old fields, they are intensively farmed in many places. These people are even more ineffective."
Li Daozhen stroked his belly that was about to break out of his body, his face exuded a maternal brilliance, and his eyes flashed with a coldness: "As the saying goes, every man is innocent, he is guilty of being guilty. Now our steel in Lingzhou, the fine salt in Lingzhou, and the wealth of Lingzhou have attracted the attention of the Turks. Now the Turks invaded Lingzhou more and more frequently, and it is possible that they will use troops to Lingzhou after the autumn begins!"
Yang Ze nodded and said, "It's possible that I have asked the court for help!"
"It's useless!" Li Daozhen said without hesitation: "The focus of the court is in the Central Plains. Now it is going to war with Wang Shichong of the Central Plains. At this time, the court will never fight on both sides. Even if the interests of Lingzhou are sacrificed, the war will not rise again in Lingzhou."
When Mrs. Song Wu was stunned when she heard this, she said in horror: "What should I do if the county lord?"
"It's better to ask for help than to ask for others!" Li Daozhen said: "Chang'an is too far away and has been using troops for many years. The court definitely lacks food and grass. In the first year of Wude, General Chen supported Lingzhou, so why did he send only more than 4,800 troops? It's not that there are no soldiers, but that there is not enough food and grass. Taking advantage of the spring Turks raising horses to accumulate strength, we must reclaim more wasteland this year."
"Reclaiming the land?" Yang Ze said slightly stunned: "No need? We have already purchased more than 800,000 mu of land in Lingzhou, and we are expected to collect 1.2 million stones of grain, and 380,000 mu of wheat. We can collect 380,000 stones of wheat, totaling 1.58 million stones of grain, which is enough for Lingzhou people to eat, and even save some in case of emergencies."
"It's not enough, it's far from enough!" Li Daozhen pointed to several Turkic scouts from far away from the north and said, "The Turks suffered too much loss on the ground of Lingzhou. If they don't move, they will be shocked. It's likely that they will be more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. If we want to protect Lingzhou, we must expand our army or prepare the food for the court reinforcements. If we want to defeat more than 100,000 Turkic soldiers and horses, we need at least 100,000 troops. At that time, a hundred thousand troops will be consumed by a 100,000 shi of grain a day. How many days can the tens of thousands of stones of grain in the Lingzhou Prefecture treasury last?"
"But we have no one!" Song Wusao hesitated: "Those Qiang people and Turkic people have no way to farm."
Yang Zeshen nodded in agreement.
"Simple!" Li Daozhen smiled and said, "Let Yu Guni, with the order of the county lord, order the leaders of Lingzhou, Fengzhou, Shengzhou, Suizhou, Yinzhou, Huazhou, Yanzhou and Xiazhou to go to the First Fort to meet me and tell them that within fifteen days, as long as the tribes that do not appear in the First Fort will disappear."
The first fort is actually the former Bogulu City. At this time, Bogulu City also had an alias "Fugui City", because the first fort was the first castle in Lingzhou to become rich. Almost every household has plowing oxen, horses, fields, and industries, making it a famous city in Lingzhou.
Yang was a little confused.
Song Wushao ordered a few female soldiers, and the female soldiers turned over and the sound of horse hooves sounded and disappeared from sight soon.
Just when the Turkic cavalry scouts were still trying to continue to reconnaissance to the south, a small team of Lingzhou hook and sickle cavalry cavalry rode their horses to meet them. The Turkic scouts saw the hook and sickle spear in the hands of Lingzhou cavalry, screamed strangely, turned their horse's head and ran towards the distance.
Mrs. Song Wushao said: "County Lord, it's very windy here, let's go back!"
Li Daozhen shook her head and said, "No, I want to be here!"
As she said that, she pointed to the fertile soil of Lingzhou. In Li Daozhen's eyes, there were grass, shrubs, or a wetland. Nothing was seen at first glance. However, Li Daozhen said with a female wolf-like look: "It's all my children's place, I must guard this place for him!"
Chen Jinyong said timidly: "Madam, there is no need to worry. The Turks are brave enough, and they dare not provoke Lingzhou!"
"You don't understand this. Gold is yellow, people's eyes are black, and their hearts are black!" Li Daozhen said coldly: "The wealth of Lingzhou makes people jealous. Turks are despicable. As long as they have enough benefits, there is something they dare not do!"
Chen Jinyong said: "Or what if I ask for help from the Lord!"
"That's not necessary, don't cause trouble for him." Li Daozhen murmured: "He, it's time to be a family this year. It's better not to tell him some things, otherwise everyone will not be able to get out of Taiwan in the end!"
Just when the Turks had just revealed a hint of peeping at Lingzhou, Li Daozhen had already noticed it like a female wolf. In the first moment, she made sufficient preparations. All the Lingzhou Iron and Steel Plants stopped and built the stock of steel into armor, weapons, crossbows, and arrowheads.
Coal is to increase storage power, and underground carbon storage warehouses were set up in Lingwu Fort Eighteen Forts and Lingzhou cities, which stored enough coal burned for nearly a year.
Gradually, everyone felt something was wrong from the air in Lingzhou.
There are three four-wheeled carriages in Lingzhou, one of which is Yang Ze's four-wheeled carriage, but it is a simplified version, and the other belongs to Pei Ju and is a noble version. The unique one is Li Daozhen's four-wheeled carriage, which is a magical revision.
The chances of Li Daozhen's four-wheeled carriage traveling in Lingzhou are getting higher and higher, and more and more leaders of various divisions entering Lingzhou are entering.
What puzzled the leaders was that Li Daozhen did not really summon the leaders of various tribes in the First Fort, but was on the bank of the Bogulu Canal outside the First Fort.
Li Daozhen's figure became more and more round, which was in line with the aesthetic view of the Turks. Yu Guni looked at Li Daozhen's figure from afar, and a strange light burst out in his eyes.
At this moment, Chen Jinyong walked to Yu Guni as if nothing had happened. He saw Yu Guni's gaze looking at Li Daozhen, without respect in his eyes, but rather a kind of pervert's green light like a beauty.
"Don't want your eyes?"
Yu Guni was the real uncrowned king in Lingzhou at this time. He already had more than 30,000 elite cavalry under his command. Although his equipment was not as good as Chen Ying's hook and sickle cavalry, it was at least comparable to the most elite Turkic army. Over time, Yu Guni became a little obedient.
Yu Guni threatened Chen Jinyong with sharp eyes: "That's how you talk to me?"
"It seems that you have really changed!" Chen Jinyong sighed and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you dare to have the idea in your mind, you will be tired of living. Do you know Zhu Can?"
Yu Guni shook his head.
"The ruthless man from the Central Plains calls himself King Jialou!" Chen Jinyong smiled softly and said, "He fell into the hands of the Lord and was cut to death after 3,671 swords. Do you want to enjoy this feeling?"
Yu Guni's eyes were a little flustered.
Chen Jinyong said: "Don't forget who picked you up. If you leave the Lord, you don't even count. Thirty thousand cavalry are your support? Humph, if the Lord is really angry, you and your tribe, don't think of a living person."
Chen Jinyong left, and Yu Guni fell into silence.
Power is like an addictive poison. At this time, Yu Guni was actually equivalent to the Dian Guni of Lingzhou in later generations. He was in charge of ethnic minority affairs. He could decide the life and death of tens of thousands of people in the eight states. It is precisely because of this power that Yu Guni enjoyed the treatment of an emperor.
In the eight states, there were more than 100 tribes of all sizes. In order to please him, these leaders all sent the best treasures and the most beautiful women in the tribe to Yu Guni. Their purpose was to want a good pasture.
In just half a year, Yu Guni has earned no less than 300 beauties with the best interracial charm.
In fact, Yu Guni is almost always a groom every day and enters the bridal chamber every night. However, if you eat too much delicacies, you will always get tired of it all day, and his heart can't help but fall in love with Li Daozhen.
