The emergence of armor has significantly reduced the mortality rate of Xiliang cavalry in daily training, but every year, there are always several to more than a dozen people who die due to various reasons.
Chen Xi had nothing to do about this. He once suggested using unopened weapons for training, but was blocked by Li You in the end. In Li You's words, if people really don't die during training, then Xiliang Iron Cavalry and other legions There really is no difference at all.
Don't look at the small mortality rate, which is the dividing line between real battles and simulated battles. Even a mortality rate of one thousandth is enough to make most soldiers more cautious and focused during training. After all, this is real. There is a possibility of being destroyed if you are not careful for a moment.
Even if this possibility is low, as long as it exists, it is enough for most people to be vigilant.
Therefore, Chen Xi was persuaded by Li You's fallacies and did not continue to interfere with Liangzhou's military service training. He gave the local government great autonomy, but he also made a requirement, that is, Liangzhou soldiers must be able to fight. If they come out like this If you still can't fight, you have to be dismissed when it's time to cancel.
However, Chen Xi is still very satisfied with the combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou soldiers. They have basically remained on the front line among the Han Dynasty as a whole, and their morale and courage are extremely excellent.
"Okay, then I will place them in Shule or the Yarkand area. It is also close to Congling. If there is any problem in Congling, we will be able to rescue them in time." Sima Lang nodded. Xinzhou is currently It is really vast and sparsely populated. Even though the northwest oasis has not been destroyed these days and there are still large forest areas, the population is still very sparse.
"By the way, there is one more thing. I'll tell you here, so I won't talk about it at the court meeting." Chen Xi looked at Sima Lang seriously, and Sima Lang's expression became much more serious after hearing this.
"That's about it. Don't let Wenru send people to Xinzhou to conduct population checks." Chen Xi patted his distant cousin on the shoulder, "This will make things difficult for everyone."
A thin layer of cold sweat appeared on Sima Lang's forehead. Chen Xi said this directly, which was regarded as revealing the matter, but it also meant that the warning line was almost reached.
"I know that the countries in Qiuci have already been infiltrated because they welcomed Chen Xun, so when you entered Xinzhou, the population fled. But, cousin, you are almost at the end of the line." Chen Xi He looked at Sima Lang seriously and said, "I don't want to know the hint that my uncle gave you, but Zhongda is the legitimate son, it doesn't mean that my cousin has to give up everything, right?"
Chen Xi patted Sima Lang on the shoulder, then turned and left, saying that.
At that time, Sima Lang withdrew from Chang'an and went to Xinzhou, blocking his way to the Qing Dynasty in the future. Chen Xi and others actually knew why. At that time, the new attachment to the Western Regions really needed a reliable boss to take charge. Sima Lang It may not be the strongest, but it is definitely suitable.
Therefore, even if Chen Xi and others knew that Sima Lang went to Xinzhou to pave the way for various families and had some other ideas, Chen Xi and others also acquiesced to this and allowed Sima Lang to do it, but in exchange, Sima Lang stopped. In this position of Xinzhoumu.
It can be regarded as cutting off the path to becoming a Qing Dynasty. If Sima Lang had not chosen this, he would definitely have become a Qing Dynasty now, instead of the current low-level situation. In fact, it was an exchange of interests to put it bluntly, and Sima Lang accepted it. This exchange.
It's just that Sima Lang went too far. Qiuci and Yanqi themselves were plotted. In addition, Sima Lang arrived late and Chen Xun took the lead. Chen Xi couldn't say anything, but the population of the thirty-six countries in Xinzhou was constantly being transferred. , Chen Xi had to keep an eye on it.
While the dead line has not yet been reached and there is still room for maneuver, hold down your eldest cousin and don't let him continue to seek death. If the dead line is really reached, Li You will take action, and Chen Xi will also All I can do is give Sima Lang a farewell.
"Brother, how many people have you taken away from Xinzhou?" Sima Yi asked quietly.
"Two million and seven hundred thousand, Kucha and Yanqi directly changed a group of people. Cheshi Kingdom basically has ten rooms and nine empty houses, and Dawan Kingdom is almost the same." Sima Lang had no intention of hiding his younger brother.
"Confiscated money?" Sima Yi looked at Sima Lang and asked.
"If I collect the money, I won't be here." Sima Lang said quietly.
"You really might as well collect the money and put it into the treasury. At least there is an explanation." Sima Yi sighed and said, "When Chang'an allowed you to go to Xinzhou, everyone knew that the major families needed people, and everyone in the local population needed them, but These are not enough, so the secondary targets are the neighboring countries that have been Chineseized by us."
"The dead line should be around 3.6 million. I'm afraid the ministers in Chang'an are rushing to replace Xinzhou." Sima Yi said with some emotion. The group of people in Chang'an looked at the kind-hearted There are many guys, but not a few are ruthless.
"Their original idea was to change people, and the land and money would come from Xinzhou." Sima Lang pondered for a moment, and then realized that he was not really stupid, but he made a mistake in judgment when balancing the family and officialdom, which led to A series of questions follow.
"In this case, it will be difficult for you." Sima Yi looked at Sima Lang and said quietly.
"Brother, can you recover those people now? If not, it will be difficult to carry out follow-up work." Sima Fu looked at Sima Lang and asked worriedly.
"Who knows, it's not difficult to say for sure." Sima Lang had regained his composure at this time, and this person's ability itself was very strong. After calming down, he found that there was still a lot of room for maneuver. " Don’t worry, I will solve this matter soon. If it is later, it will be a bit difficult. The problem is not big now.”
Sima Yi and Sima Fu looked at each other, isn't this a big deal?
"I'll leave for a while to deal with this matter. It will be settled soon." Sima Lang calmly patted Sima Yi on the shoulder, gave him a look, and then quickly left the Vientiane Palace. There is still a lot of room for change in this matter. After this period of time, things really don’t get better.
"Can it really be solved?" Sima Fu said worriedly when he saw his eldest brother leaving.
"I may know what the eldest brother wants to do. I am afraid that the eldest brother's attitude from the beginning has been to acquiesce to the actions of the major families, and now the eldest brother should be ready to settle the accounts." Sima Yi asked with a somewhat guessing tone.
"Clear the accounts?" Sima Fu looked at his second brother in confusion.
"Well, it's just to settle the accounts. The eldest brother should have acquiesced in it. Now the eldest brother probably said that he had just learned about this kind of thing and was very angry. Then he detained the people who went to Central Asia and divided the fields and houses for resettlement." Sima Yi said quietly Send a message to his third brother.
Sima Fu was shocked. Aren't you afraid of being beaten for this operation?
Sima Yi looked at Sima Fu's shocked look and said, "You are so strange. Before taking action, the eldest brother must have informed the major families and asked why there were three million fewer people in Xinzhou. The major families would certainly not admit that they did it, but they probably When there are three million people, everyone knows what's going on, and they understand that they have indeed done it, but they will never pay it back."
What the heck, can you still get out what you ate? What a joke!
"Well, I think it's impossible for them to pay it back." Sima Fu nodded, "First of all, my grandfather will definitely not admit it, and then no one will pay it back."
"Isn't that right? So in the end, I must have given the eldest brother a reason. The eldest brother settled the people on Xinzhou Road on the spot, and then threw the reason back." Sima Yi sighed and said, "This is a very reasonable way. The method of balancing accounts basically has no shortcomings."
"Everyone's relationship will be very tense." Sima Fu pondered for a while and said.
"No, you are in the first grade of junior high school and I am in the fifteenth grade. What reasons do you give me and what reasons do I give you." Sima Yi looked at Sima Fu seriously and said, "Third brother, you still have to learn how to use your own character to judge others." This is a very important point, only in this way can we have nothing to say."
Sima Fu nodded, feeling that this society was in line with what he had learned before.
"But this is all nonsense. There will definitely be subsequent surprises in this matter." Sima Yi patted his third brother on the shoulder, "Let's see, for most aristocratic families, it is even. But for a few, The family may not accept this result.”
"What should I do if I don't accept it?" Sima Fu asked. At this time, Sima Fu turned into a curious baby and was extremely interested in these things.
"It depends on the situation. Sometimes the minority obeys the majority and the minority has no resistance. The matter becomes a major issue and becomes a trivial matter." Sima Yi recalled what happened over the years and how many aristocratic families were here. Under such general trends, we were forced to make choices that were in line with the general trend.
"Then there's still time?" Sima Fu felt that there was something in his second brother's words.
"Oh, sometimes, it will become a direct fight with gongs and drums in front of you." Sima Yi said seriously, "If the minority is strong enough, they can also fight for their own interests. You should pay more attention to this I can learn a lot of things that I haven't learned before. I used to think that tactics are very important, but in fact, tactics are just one aspect."
"The front of this world is always naked hegemony, not the power of justice, but the justice of power, because country and country, nation and nation, family and family, the justice they each hold is for themselves and their allies. Justice." Sima Yi looked at Sima Fu seriously and said, "So the power of justice does not exist, only the justice that belongs to us exists."
Sima Fu frowned, this was a big deviation from what he had learned.
"Maintaining the foundation of our justice is the power to enforce justice. However, the laws of nature are always constant. It will not survive for Yao or perish for Jie." Sima Yi said with a chuckle, "So it is only our justice."
