The wind blowing southward from Siberia seemed to freeze the entire northern China.
The Guanzhong Plain has also been covered with heavy snow, and the thick loess soil is covered with snow-white cotton wool.
The whistling north wind swept up the cotton wool, and the flying snowflakes roared into a small tornado.
In such a severe cold, the door of a manor creaked open.
A strong man wearing a leather jacket was riding on a horse, walking forward slowly.
Behind him followed two slaves.
They carried quilts, food, and armor respectively, and one of them also led a tall war horse.
The strong man carried a matchlock gun on his back and a waist knife.
"Master, why did you rush to visit in winter this time? In this winter, could it be that the Qing Tartars came here?"
The person carrying the armor was a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.
About forty pounds of armor weighed on the young man's shoulders, bending his body.
The feet are also deep and shallow.
The snow in the Guanzhong Plain is definitely not as thick as that in Haishengwei.
But walking in such snow with heavy armor on your back is also a severe test for your physical strength.
The person called the master is a soldier from the Heavenly Kingdom Mansion named Liu Laoba.
Under the Right Guards of the Kingdom of Heaven.
There are 1,800 soldiers like him in Youwei Wei.
This kingdom of heaven imitated the military system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties and created twelve guards.
Each guard has 1,800 soldiers, which is 21,600 people.
Counting each guard’s commander, captain, school lieutenant, team leader and others.
There are probably more than 23,000 people.
However, this is to divide Zhuangzi's government troops. The land in Guanzhong is definitely not as fertile as Hubei and Sichuan. The government soldiers have to prepare their own horses, armor, weapons, and have slaves and auxiliary troops, and they do not receive military pay.
Therefore, each soldier must be allocated at least three hundred acres of farmland.
Use more than 300 acres of farmland to raise a soldier.
The more than 20,000 government soldiers would require more than 6 million acres of land.
There are currently more than 26 million acres of cultivated land in the Guanzhong Plain, which does not seem to be much at first glance.
But be aware.
This is just the cost of the lowest level soldier.
There are also officers at all levels.
There are also marquises and dukes at all levels from bottom to top.
The amount of land allocated to these people is far greater than that of ordinary big-headed soldiers.
Even the kings of Heaven, Earth, Wen, and Wu above wanted to divide the land.
They all start with an area of several hundred thousand.
Used to support one's own direct army.
The system of this kingdom of heaven is that four kings lead a group of princes and marquises, large and small.
Each prince and marquis has his own army directly under his command.
That is to say, in addition to government soldiers like Liu Laoba, there are lords of various sizes scattered throughout the Guanzhong Plain and Shanghai.
Some lords had very large territories.
For example, Prince Sanhuai of Daguo, who raised an army in Sichuan, had 60,000 soldiers under his command, including more than 4,000 old soldiers.
He is the prince with the most soldiers besides the four kings.
In order to support these more than 4,000 veteran soldiers, he had to go to more than two million acres of land!
The princes, princes, and marquis divided this Guanzhong Plain into one part.
There isn't much land left.
In addition, no one expected that the land in Guanzhong, which is said to be able to dominate the world, would be so barren.
Only wheat can be grown.
And the output is not high.
Therefore, after arriving in Guanzhong, everyone felt that this place was not good enough, and began to focus on Henan and Hebei.
Guanzhong does not deserve its name.
The Central Plains is not the same as Guanzhong, right?
A group of princes and marquises who feel that they have little to do in the pass are eagerly hoping to send their troops out of the pass, occupy the Central Plains, and divide the fields.
The current structure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is also related to the fact that the White Lotus Sect does not have a strong leadership group in the first place.
Liu Zhixie was only the nominal leader of the White Lotus Sect.
He actually has no control over the White Lotus Sect incense owners everywhere.
After raising troops.
Liu Zhixie is considered the largest among them.
However, Wang Tianhuai and Xu Tiande who raised their troops from Dazhou, Sichuan, Zhang Zhengmo who raised their troops from Zhijiang, Hubei Province, and Nie Jieren who raised their troops from Yidu, Hubei Province were all quite capable of fighting.
Therefore, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was a composite feudal country headed by Liu Zhixie, with various feudal princes and marquises, and more than 20,000 soldiers.
It's the real feudal kind.
But don’t think that feudalism can’t be fought.
usually.
A feudal dynasty usually conforms to the general rule of "its rise and fall are also sudden".
And the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which had just established a state.
It happens to be at the stage of "excitement".
On the one hand, its military system has just been established and has not yet been completely corrupted, and government orders are still flowing smoothly.
On the other hand, the "fu army system" on which its military strength is based has not yet collapsed.
Take Liu Laoba as an example.
Liu Laoba, who is the lowest level soldier.
In fact, he was part of the ruling class of the Taiping Rebellion.
He owns a farm encompassing three hundred and twenty-seven acres of land.
The farm has a small blacksmith shop, a flour mill, a stable, 11 slaves, and three daughters-in-law.
At the same time, there are seven tenant households who also live in the village and come to rent Liu Laoba's land.
In addition to the income from tenancy, Liu Laoba's small blacksmith shop can make farm tools, stone mills for grinding flour, and can also lend cattle and horses, which are all a source of income.
And what will the income from the more than 300 acres of village be used for?
In addition to raising three wives and eleven servants.
The biggest expense.
This is the equipment that Liu Laoba now has.
The first is a musket.
I bought this in Chang'an.
The best ingredients are used.
There is no way for the Kingdom of Heaven to manufacture flintlock guns now - mainly because there is no qualified steel and no qualified shrapnel.
But the matchlock is used in the same way.
Although this matchlock gun is very heavy.
But Liu Laoba, who has had enough food for more than a year and can often eat some meat, is now very strong and can definitely bear it.
Except for the matchlock.
It's the waist knife carried on the waist.
Made of clamped steel.
It's five feet long.
This is Liu Laoba's main weapon.
But he is the most expensive one.
It's still the war horse that he can't bear to sit on now.
That's very valuable.
Usually they are fed beans and wheat.
Except for horses.
There is also a set of iron armor.
Knife, armor, matchlock.
This is equipment that takes into account both long-range shooting and melee combat.
Every soldier of the Kingdom of Heaven is a veteran who has survived dozens of battles.
It can be said that they are all decathlon.
Can shoot muskets or shoot arrows from a distance.
Recently, he can also wear cloth-covered armor and fight hand-to-hand.
This is a typical first-generation feudal strong soldier.
"Perhaps the Qing Tartars are going to attack Tongguan! Huh, if we in Heaven don't go looking for trouble with them, they will take the initiative to die!"
Liu Laoba said with a cold snort.
Of course he is a very loyal warrior of the kingdom of heaven - this loyalty is guaranteed by his manor, slaves and wife.
He couldn't be more loyal.
Even the soldiers of the Ming Army cannot be treated as well as the soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven.
The manor of more than 300 acres is divided into slaves and wives.
Unless Zhu Daohua confiscated all the land of the landlords and wealthy landlords in Jiangnan, South China, and Hunan, then suppressed all industry and commerce, and built the entire Ming Dynasty into a military system based on the use of cultivated land like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
But how could Zhu Daohua do this?
This can indeed lead to a group of extremely loyal soldiers in the short term.
But the soldiers in this mansion are only strong for two generations at most.
Moreover, such a system suppresses industry and commerce. If you want to obtain advanced weapons, you can only buy them.
The court also received no taxes.
How can it last.
But whether it lasts long or not.
Now in history, the White Lotus Rebellion, which took nine years and two hundred million silver in military expenditures to be suppressed by the Qing Dynasty, is now a thing of the past.
After enfeoffing a large number of manor warriors and noble territories of various sizes.
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's rule in Guanzhong is now extremely stable.
Not to mention the current Qing Dynasty.
Even the Qing Dynasty, the all-powerful Qing Dynasty in history, would most likely not be able to defeat such an opponent.
After all, the Qing army was so weak in fighting even the chieftains of Jinchuan and Jinchuan.
"You two, don't slack off. If you can make a contribution this time, you will have a bright future as a soldier!"
Liu Laoba encouraged.
The two auxiliary soldiers said yes in succession.
My heart also became a little hotter.
This Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has a hole in it.
Want to become a master.
I want Fubing Manor.
There is only one way now.
It’s just military exploits!
Only by performing meritorious service on the battlefield can one have the possibility of getting ahead in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
........
Just when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was mobilizing its soldiers to enter the customs clearance.
At this time, the Qing government's green flag soldiers from Shandong and Anhui provinces, commanded by Fukang'an, had also arrived in Shaanzhou.
There are more than 70,000 green flag soldiers in the two provinces.
The equipment is better than that of the Green Camp soldiers, but not much better - because they are all weapons such as rifles, cannons, and long guns selected from the Green Camp arsenal.
But because the Green Flag Soldiers of the two provinces were used to deal with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Therefore, there is no need for very good weapons and equipment.
These equipment are enough.
After the green flag soldiers from the two provinces entered Henan.
Immediately, the whole province of Henan was in a state of chaos.
These Green Flag Soldiers are organized based on fellow villagers.
The country gentry was the officer and the peasants from the same country were the soldiers.
Very familiar with each other.
In my hometown, I was still restrained.
When I go to other provinces, I completely let myself go.
Along the way, countless Henan counties have been robbed.
After arriving in Shaanzhou.
Many of the Green Camp soldiers in the two provinces have already made a fortune.
Under the bulging pockets.
Morale was naturally at its peak.
In order to boost morale, Fukang'an, the green-banner governor of these two provinces, did not stop the green-banner soldiers from looting Henan.
In order to destroy the religious bandits.
The people of Henan are a little more patient and patient.
It's worth it too.
"Sir, the bandits have recently increased their troops to Tongguan in large numbers. Doesn't it look like they are just guarding the pass?"
The speaker was Zhang Ruoai, the training commander of the Green Flag Huai Army.
He is not well known.
But he has a very famous father.
Zhang Ruoai is Zhang Tingyu's son.
The Zhang family in Tongcheng is also a wealthy local family.
Relying on Zhang's children as officers, Zhang Ruoai recruited more than 6,000 people this time.
This number of troops can be said to be worthy of speaking in front of Fukang'an.
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed. If you want to read the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.
A single dormitory?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
The body and appearance have changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:? ? ?
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
