Two hundred and sixty-six Guo Peng's administration (on)
The emperor alone represents the world's expectations. It is really terrifying whether it is himself, Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu who can master it, it is a great thing.
So, what should I do? Guo Peng has a scale in his heart.
Regarding Chen Gong's suggestion, Guo Peng looked overjoyed, saying that he agreed with Chen Gong's idea and wanted to achieve this goal with Chen Gong.
Chen Gong was also very happy, feeling that he could realize his political ideals after meeting a wise master.
Guo Peng's foothold in Yanzhou became very stable. Except for Chenliu County that had not yet reached out to intervene, Yanzhou had already recognized his master.
Bao Xin obeyed Guo Peng's orders very much and agreed with Guo Peng's policy of stabilizing local areas with the strategy of farming.
His Yanzhou Governor was actually appointed by Guo Peng. The two had a master-subject relationship, so he vigorously promoted the military farming policy as the Yanzhou Governor and helped Guo Peng take control of Yanzhou.
Despite this, Guo Peng directly sent the four counties and states under his control to promote the military farming policy on a large scale, and the other four counties and states were just doing superficial projects to deal with the governor's decrees.
Despite this, Guo Peng's power and status in Yanzhou are undoubtedly.
So by the end of March of the third year of Chuping, when the situation in Youzhou and Chang'an would undergo huge and far-reaching changes, Guo Peng was already the veritable leader of the two states.
As your status improves, your strength will also increase.
After mastering a large amount of resources, Guo Peng successfully expanded his army, laying off old and weak soldiers in Yanzhou, and sent them back to their hometowns to farm, either farm themselves, or participate in military farming.
Afterwards, the strong men were selected to join the army, including the original Yanzhou soldiers and the original Yellow Turban Army, and the strong men were selected from them, and then they were dispersed and organized into the original Qingzhou army.
After the completion of this work, Guo Peng expanded his army to a scale of about 100,000 people, set up a new training camp in Lu County, and included new recruits in it to speed up training.
These 100,000 people are not all pure war soldiers who fight in all directions.
There are about 30,000 local county and county security soldiers who carry out local garrison and public security tasks and are not responsible for fighting everywhere, but they also need to participate in military training and fight when encountering wars.
The remaining 70,000 are real warriors, who are completely out of business and specialize in fighting. Once there is a battle, they will immediately go to the past to fight.
Guo Peng used the food he obtained from military farming to support them, paid them money, and made them a professional army that was completely obedient to him.
Now, Guo Peng is the only one who can support such a professional army among the princes in the world.
Because his military farms are large enough and are getting bigger and bigger, he has more and more grain harvests, and there are enough people who can control the food that can be recruited to transport grain to ensure wartime logistics.
In ancient times, when fighting, "there were 100,000 troops to build a battle of 100,000 troops, and those who went for a thousand miles were not allowed to work, would be 700,000 families."
When we went to a place with a force of a thousand miles away, we sent out 100,000 troops and required 700,000 households to ensure the troops and logistics. Judging from the productivity and traffic conditions at that time, this was all small.
Guo Peng has experienced many battles personally. The front army was fighting, and the rear civilians were exhausted to transport military rations and military supplies. They transported them all the way, but some people fell to the ground and couldn't get up. Computer terminal::/
The officers and soldiers were very fierce in escorting food and grass because the demand for food and grass on the front line was almost harsh.
The farther the distance you are in the battle, the greater the mobilization force you will have to the people and the greater the damage to production.
It takes a long time to leave the border and fight a battle of 100,000 people, and a large-scale and comprehensive mobilization will be carried out.
In the Battle of Feishui, the Former Qin planned to mobilize 1.12 million troops, but in the end it was only 110 days from the beginning to the defeat, less than four months. Fu Jian still left a large army in Xiangcheng, and there were no one million troops on the front line. This battle was actually not a miracle of winning with less than the more for the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Moreover, if one million troops were really suppressed to Jiangnan, the whole country would probably go bankrupt before the war was fought.
It’s very simple. If one million people don’t work and only eat, what size grain reserves and transportation capacity will be guaranteed.
Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms and Emperor Wu of Han attacked the Huns in the north. The reason why he could form a powerful army was because they had a strong control over the grassroots people.
The households were all registered and the people were all transferred to the countryside.
With the order, the whole nation mobilized without any obstacles.
Therefore, Qin Shihuang mobilized more than 100,000 troops to fight several times, but there were no food and grass problems.
Emperor Wu of Han dispatched 100,000 cavalry to launch a decisive battle in the north of Mo, without delaying the food and fodder.
Being able to launch a war of such a scale has high requirements for the government's mobilization. It is very important to master the local people and means of production.
This is the difference between a large government and a small government.
The Qin government and the Han government during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han were undoubtedly extremely strong governments.
Since its establishment, the Eastern Han Dynasty had no atmosphere as a big government. Liu Xiu once mobilized to go to the fields to gain greater power, but under the "people's will", he was defeated.
Since then, the Eastern Han government has been shrinking, and the imperial power has continued to decline. It seems very powerful, but in fact its control over the local area has been very weak. At the time of Huan Ling, it is already a small government on the verge of collapse.
For Mr. Guo, if it weren't for the Yellow Turban Army's uprising everywhere, cracking down on powerful households, destroying the enemy's order, and giving him the opportunity to take advantage of loopholes, it would be very difficult to re-establish an order, then he would need to snatch the households and means of production from the powerful landlords.
There is no doubt that he is against the people and cannot get a good deal.
Thanks to the Yellow Turban Army and the bandits who were wandering around, we should thank the inaction and the opportunity to establish a strong and effective order for Guo Peng.
This allowed him to hold millions of military farmer farmers and self-cultivated farmers in his hands and directly control them, without having to trade political rights for the civilian households and means of production in their hands through powerful people and gentry.
However, it is just food and mobilization. These households are illiterate, have no culture, cannot master the knowledge of rule, and cannot be high-ranking officials.
Guo Peng was able to select grassroots officials from them, but he could not select great talents who could formulate strategies. Therefore, he still had to compromise with the wealthy and gentry and exchange political power for their cooperation.
Some counties are directly controlled by Guo Peng, while some counties have ordered the orders, but in fact, Guo Peng only collects the agreed taxes and is not easy to interfere in other matters.
The prefects and county magistrates have considerable autonomy. They are ordered to act on their own and act on their own. Whether it is a discount? Whether they are in place after Guo Peng issued the order to raise food and fodder resources is in place.
It was just like the many counties under Cao Cao's command on the eve of the Battle of Guandu.
Cao Cao ordered the raising of food and grass resources to fight against Yuan Shao, but the gentry and powerful people who actually mastered these resources were not optimistic about Cao Cao, did not support him, and did not give him food and grass resources, and he did not dare to rob him directly.
It feels bad to be stuck in your neck, it's really bad.
So Mr. Guo attached great importance to local construction from the very beginning.
