From the end of the world to ancient times with the writer system

Gansu has a long and narrow terrain, and its borders with neighboring areas are relatively large, so it is not so easy to defend.Fortunately, there are many mountains in Gansu, and there are not as many places that can be directly entered and exited as imagined. In addition, the surroundings are also surrounded by the same forces as King An, which saves King An a lot of trouble.What Gansu needs to face directly is the southern area, which is under the jurisdiction of Emperor Wenchang.

Because Gansu was not the main place that Emperor Wenchang dealt with, King An was able to deal with it with ease, and he had already conquered several cities.King An did not give up in one go, consolidating the existing territory is more important than continuing to capture the city.King An knew that his power was not as powerful as that of Emperor Wenchang, and it was more important to gradually annex and integrate the people of various cities. After the battle line became deeper, it would be more beneficial for him to deploy troops and generals.

Speaking of it, Emperor Wenchang was also quite sad. Although he occupied the most prosperous hinterland of the Jin Dynasty, he was surrounded by a group of brothers who were staring at him. The battle line was too long, so he could only concentrate his forces to deal with the closer ones. A few forces, other places are a little lax.He is also the son of the first emperor. Even if the city is captured, the common people will accept the so-called "rebellious ministers" very much. After all, they are all princes. Whoever takes the position is the same for the common people, and no one is much better than the other. .Under the publicity of the princes, Emperor Wenchang's ascension may not be so glorious.

Therefore, wars in various places are mostly caused by the two armies of the respective masters. It is rare for them to be willing to risk their lives to defend the city. Most of them are just symbolic defenses. Once the soldiers at the front are lost, most of the cities behind are like dominoes. Similarly, one by one was conquered.It's not that the officials don't want to defend, but if there are no soldiers stationed in the city, with the perfunctory cooperation of the common people, how long can they defend with the help of the yamen and inspection staff?

In this regard, not only Emperor Wenchang, but also his brothers were treated in the same way.The people really don't care that much about who sits on the throne, as long as they are the brothers of Emperor Wenchang, they are all justified.It's also thanks to King An and the others being kind to the people, otherwise such a situation would not have happened.If they knew that the city was destroyed, their lives would be lost, so who would not live and die with the city?

The people looked so foolish, it was really related to their own lives and safety, and it was considered light to resist stubbornly. With the convenience of the thick city wall, even if there was no army sitting in the town, they had to scratch a layer of flesh and blood from the enemy soldiers.Internal strife in the Jin Dynasty should not be confused with foreign invasion.Today's Jin Dynasty is not the last dynasty. It has a strong army and horses. Although it has suffered disasters year after year, its heritage is still there.Moreover, these disasters were not suffered by Jinchao alone, and other surrounding countries were not spared either.Under the same external environment, Jinchao's leading national strength cannot be compared with other countries.If there is no internal friction, it is estimated that within 80 to [-] years, they will be far behind if they want to catch up.

Wang An said that he wanted to stabilize the rear, but he didn't have much time left.If he didn't take advantage of the favorable opportunity of Emperor Wenchang's focus on dealing with his brothers nearby, and occupy more cities, it would be very difficult for him to expand his sphere of influence when Emperor Wenchang was free in the future and sent more troops to distant places.

At this time, Emperor Wenchang was also a little bit hard to get off the tiger. Most of his troops were concentrated in the places closest to the capital, and he couldn't take care of places farther away.In some places, Emperor Wenchang had the upper hand, but in other places the situation was not optimistic.It's not that he doesn't want to change, it's that his good brothers, most of the fiefdoms are at the border. It is conceivable that the troops are very sufficient. Don't look at him occupying the most fertile hinterland of the Jin Dynasty, the total strength is not as high as that of his brothers There are many troops together, which is why Emperor Wenchang didn't take the lead.

If it wasn't for the untimely death of Emperor Rentai, Emperor Wenchang would have captured several places with lightning speed, and then slowly eroded the fiefdoms of other brothers.Unfortunately, unsatisfactory things in the world accounted for eight to nine out of ten, and he missed the best time to raise troops.One step is late, every step is late, and if you want to make up for it, you will have to spend several times as much effort as before.

Soldiers are different from ordinary people. They will not surrender to each other without fighting to a certain extent.As a result, those cities that were garrisoned by troops could not be taken by the attacking party without paying a huge price.Behind the lack of blood, it represents the general's defection. As for the tricks, there is no need to go into details, spies, greed for life and fear of death... There are countless possibilities.

The soldiers of the same Jin Dynasty had similar weapons and equipment, and the composition of personnel was also similar. It was not easy for Emperor Wenchang to take down his brothers who were nearby.There were many troops stationed at the border. At the beginning, Emperor Wenchang could take advantage of his strength and go straight down to several cities. The further he went to the back, the stronger his counterattack.In a city with a strong defender, the people are not as dispensable as they were at the beginning.The garrisoned army will force the people to contribute their strength, and if they don't, they will die immediately. Looking at the big sword hanging in front of them, how dare the hundred believers stand by and watch?They threw themselves into it one after another, and the cities were operating at full capacity. It is really not so easy to fall.

Besides, Emperor Wenchang didn't sit back and relax.He can bully the brothers nearby, but he will suffer in other places.Emperor Wenchang originally thought of a quick battle, but whoever thought of it finally formed a tug-of-war situation. If one side wins, the other side will lose. This really gave him a headache for a long time.In the end, he still followed the established policy, keeping close and far loose, hesitating, let alone accomplishing anything.

Emperor Rentai was just a successful king, among other things, there was only one thing that no other emperor in the Jin Dynasty could compare to, that is, he gave birth to a bunch of good sons.The emperors before Emperor Rentai also had many sons, but there is no saint who has as many sons as him, and all of them are of good quality.Emperor Rentai was not in good health, especially in his later years. In order to enjoy the superior imperial power from beginning to end, he never let any son gain the upper hand. This is also the biggest reason for the separation of the princes.If Emperor Rentai had paid a little attention and arranged everything before his consciousness became blurred, then such a bad situation would not have happened.

No matter how powerful the Jin Dynasty is, if internal conflicts continue for a long time, this advantage will gradually disappear. When that happens, it will be too late to regret it.All the princes are well aware of the sharp sword hanging above their heads, but they can't help themselves now, the current difficulties are difficult to overcome, who cares what will happen in the future?

Since the invasion of the prairie tribes, King An carefully searched the border again to ensure that there were no omissions, and that the enemy would never take advantage of any loopholes.Thanks to King An, for more than a year, Xilin County has never encountered such an unexpected situation as a large army pressing down on the border.Those enemy soldiers who slipped through the net have already been wiped out, so the people of Xilin County can live and work in peace and contentment.

As time went forward little by little, the people of Xilin County also got used to the relatively comfortable life in the rear towns during the war.The logistics of war are very important. Food and grass cannot be raised in a short while, and weapons and equipment have become the first choice.The craftsmen in Xilin County have been recruited, and only after completing the tasks assigned by the army can they take over the private work of the people in Xilin County.

No matter how fierce the fighting outside is, the people of Xilin County will live their lives in the same way. The only difference is that their lives have been affected by the flames of war, and the number of people who have nothing to do has increased in large numbers.A day or two is fine, but in the long run it's not a big deal, too much leisure can easily lead to troubles, Ji Xuanhe doesn't have the time to manage these trivial matters.These days, he is thinking about how to arrange idle labor.

The plan that had been shelved by him jumped into his mind again.There is a lot of wasteland in Xilin County, but they are all in the wilderness, some distance away from human settlements.Ji Xuan and Yuan thought about going to war, so these things should not be taken care of. Who would have thought that a lot of labor would be idle due to the impact of the war?

Ji Xuanhe's first consideration is the people in the city. The villagers have the habit of storing food. Compared with the people in the city, it is easier to make ends meet.It's the beginning of summer now, wild vegetables are everywhere in the mountains and fields, coarse grains are mixed with wild vegetables, at least they can be fooled.The people in the city are not the same. It is not easy to find food outside the city. The nearest place is Minshan, which is the most frequented place for the people in Xilin County. The wild vegetables there are picked up as soon as they appear. If you want to find enough to eat, you have to go deep. Walk.

No, now every household basically has idle strong laborers, no work to do, and can only go to the mountains to find a living, not to mention the prey and wild vegetables outside the mountains, even the firewood is available quickly, and the competition is imaginable. How intense.The deep mountains are not easy to enter, and most of the people are in groups. There are a lot of wild animals hunted, and injuries are inevitable.The current situation is such that the general game is not cared for, and only the rarer wild animals are popular.It's not that the price cannot be sold, but that there is a price but no market, and a large number of people enter the mountain, resulting in an oversupply of prey that cannot be sold.

This is not only the case in Xilin County, but also in surrounding counties and towns. It is unrealistic to sell prey to other counties and towns.In the end, they had to marinate them for their own slow digestion. The food was so expensive that they had no reason to sell the hard-earned prey at a low price.

There are only so many prey in the mountains and forests. In the real deep mountains and old forests, ordinary people dare not venture into them easily. There are too many snakes, insects, rats and ants, and it is impossible to guard against them. When the food is still enough to survive, not many people dare to risk their lives. .

With the flames of war, the flow of goods is extremely slow.The abundant materials in Xilin County cannot be sold, and cheap goods from other places cannot be brought in.Fortunately, the Jin Dynasty was still a small-scale peasant economy, and all regions were basically self-sufficient. The impact of poor circulation was not as great as in modern times. Life was not as moist as it was before the war, but it did not affect daily life.

Wild animals are not easy to sell, and domesticated ones are not much better.However, poultry and livestock also have an advantage, that is, the price is cheaper than prey, and the common people can occasionally buy some to satisfy their greed.Both Jijiazhuangzi and Xishanzhuangzi raised a large number of livestock, and their livelihoods in the past have also been greatly affected.Fortunately, even if these are not easy to sell, it is not a waste to keep them at home.

Although few people do not want to eat meat, food is more important when life becomes unsustainable.You can't eat meat for every meal, right?Besides, few families could afford meat, so grain with a high yield per mu naturally became the first choice of the people.

Ji Xuanhe picked and selected a few pieces of wasteland closest to Xilin County, and planned to organize people to reclaim the wasteland.This time it's not like Xishan Zhuangzi, where the wasteland will be owned by whoever develops it, and the fee for the land deed can be postponed for one year. Do you have to follow the law? There have been such cases in the past, and Ji Xuanhe is not worried about violating the law. Law.The barren land itself has a three-year tax exemption. The common people do not reclaim the barren land, one is because the barren land is far away, and the other is that the deed tax is not low, and many people dare not take risks.It is not easy to harvest the fields when they are opened. If one is not careful, it will be too bad to lose all the money. No one can afford to pay for the wealth that has been accumulated with great difficulty.
