Chapter 333: Northland Suffering
Huang Limin was angry and threw the book, took out his bow and prepared a knife, and went up the mountain to surrender to the thieves.
Even if he doesn't directly rebel, he will collude with the rebels even if he doesn't have a chance to get promoted from a humble family and many powerful people.
The grassroots people don’t have enough to eat.
The middle level presses the base level, but there is no upward channel.
The senior management talks all day long, and all of them are self-righteous and expensive people.
But at the same time, the most important person cannot be ignored. That is the common leader of the world, the Emperor of Daxia.
Who is the emperor?
He is a smart man. Before he came to power, he knew the dangers of big families. At that time, he was surrounded by many children from poor families who had relied on science and technology. At the same time, he also knew the threat of enemies in the northern grasslands. After he came to power, he organized the defense of the north many times. Even if
Nowadays, food and salary have not been cut off.
But at the same time, the emperor is also a lazy person who likes to enjoy himself. Technology has been implemented since his father's time, but there have always been objections. By his generation, he originally wanted to roll it out on a large scale, but there were too many people who opposed it. So the emperor
He simply gave up and compromised with the aristocratic family.
Then he only focused on amassing money and enjoying himself, gathering beautiful women, and basically didn’t ask much about government affairs.
To put it simply, being a good emperor was too tiring and led to collusion with corrupt officials. Anyway, these nobles controlled the right to speak, and the history books would praise themselves.
He had no regard for the people at the bottom, so he naturally cast all his vigilant eyes on the Northland.
After selling all the territory outside the Great Wall, there was no need to worry about defense. The emperor was also worried that the northern military was too strong and would often act to hold back the troops, so he played a balancing act.
But for such a so-called check and balance, countless frontier soldiers and people who were sold to prairie barbarians died tragically.
The soldiers in Northern Xinjiang are hard-working and good at fighting. Of course, there is no place where the grassroots are not suffering these days. Precisely because they are hard-working, they have the greatest strength to resist as long as they have the opportunity to incite them.
It was with this in mind that Wu Hui decided to work as a county guard in a border area and develop slowly.
Fighting for the world is the same as playing chess, with golden corners and silver edges and grass belly. It is necessary to develop in the corners first, and in the Great Xia Dynasty, the population in the north has always been more populous and the economy is more developed. So finding a corner in the north as a foundation is Wu Hui
preliminary plan.
Like Cao Cao's start in the Central Plains, there are enemies to deal with on all sides. It's actually very difficult. After finally unifying the north and preparing to go south, he was defeated twice in Chibi and Hanzhong and was unable to unify the world. That was really miserable.
Therefore, the right approach is to develop slowly and not rush to start a war.
However, when Wu Hui succeeded in getting a Liaoxi County Sheriff through bribery and his achievements over the past year, he had some headaches.
Because the northern frontier is really too hard.
It's so hard that even the powerful are unwilling to take root here, and it's so hard that famines occur in other places due to lack of land due to land annexation, but here the land is vast and the people are sparse.
Don't worry too much if the population is small, as long as the border areas are safe. Many people will naturally flee here.
Of course, the resettlement of the refugees was also a problem at that time. How to ensure the safety of the border areas before that was also a problem. First, establish a good relationship with General Zhang Dingyang who was stationed nearby.
"Master Wu?" Zhang Dingyang thought about the name and felt that it looked familiar. Considering that this person would provide a large part of his logistics in the future, he might be needed to help with the rebellion in the future. So Lao Zhang decisively accepted the invitation.
Just like when Liu Dangren met Guan Shanting, Lao Zhang and Wu Hui also hit it off like old friends. Of course Wu Hui didn't show it, but Lao Zhang had a good impression of the county guard.
Everyone’s relationships outside the game will continue into the game.
Wu Hui and Ren Yin and Li Xiaoyue are partners outside the game, but they are husband and wife inside the game. Lao Zhang and Liu Dangren have known each other for a long time outside the game, and they have been together since the beginning of the game.
It was bitterly cold on the border, and tens of thousands of troops had to be scattered in many places. Without Liu Dangren, Zhang Dingyang, the nominal leader, could command at most five thousand soldiers.
This can be regarded as the limit of what can be raised in one county.
As a county guard, there are not many people he can manage, because there are too few officials in Liaoxi County. Without enough grassroots officials, naturally everything is done very slowly. Wu Hui can only visit local poor families and recruit people one by one.
.
Then what he had to do was measure the land, organize the refugees, and support Zhang Dingyang in his foreign wars.
In battles these days, the masters who take the lead are very important. Even if military monks can assemble large armies and often achieve victory, there is no denying the role of top experts. In many cases, conventional troops are only part of the combat effectiveness of military monks, and then on the battlefield
Everyone counts the heads of the masters to decide the outcome.
The Great Xia Dynasty relied on five second-grade masters to suppress all parties.
So when Zhang Dingyang was about to send troops to fight, Wu Hui personally followed him with Li Xiaoyue, leaving the county to Ren Yin.
Ren Yin's level and fighting ability are enough to convince everyone. In this world, only those who have cultivation will look up to you. Even the female class will do the same.
As they rode toward the outside of the Great Wall, Wu Hui said to Zhang Dingyang: "General, does he know how we can win this battle?"
Zhang Dingyang was silent for a moment, then spread his hands to Wu Hui: "Please speak."
"Our goal is to repel the prairie barbarians so that they will not dare to invade within a few years, and then we can work with peace of mind. In this process, the court can not provide much support, and the rewards afterwards may also be swallowed up. So we have to find a way
Let the soldiers lose as little as possible and achieve actual gains," Wu Hui said.
"So the tactics are to raid, behead, and then plunder the grassland after victory?" Zhang Dingyang thought for a while and seemed to understand what Wu Hui meant.
The two of them had known each other for a short time. Even if they felt close to each other, they couldn't directly reveal that they wanted to rebel. So no one spoke clearly. Wu Hui nodded and said that Zhang Dingyang was right. Then he went to the side to accompany him.
Li Xiaoyue went.
The bottom line of both of them is very flexible. If Zhang Dingyang had not been restrained by Liu Dangren, he would often do things like killing prisoners. Now he would not be soft-hearted when he attacked a group of prairie barbarians.
As for Wu Hui, after he sets the ultimate goal, he basically only looks at the effect. As for the means...
He knows that this is the best path. There may be sacrifices on this path, but it is the least sacrificed. Too much compassion and morality are meaningless in this cruel world.
It's bitterly cold in the north.
It is already winter, and the world is also bitterly cold.
In these troubled times, how can the common people not suffer? But those aristocratic families with high-ranking monks in charge burned the corpses of the common people to keep themselves warm and cold.
Wu Hui and others were in the northeast of Daxia. At the same time, there was also fighting in the northwest.
Ma Fushao, who was born in the border area, stood on the edge of the Great Wall with a bamboo stick in his mouth. He looked at several grassland scouts in a loose formation on the grassland in front of them, and he was determined to go up and kill them.
