    "Then I would like to thank Fourth Brother first." Wuyi couldn't help but be overjoyed and bowed towards me deeply.  "Look at these brothers, how close they are to each other." Grandma said with a happy face.  Mother also nodded happily, indeed.  Although Lao Wuwuyi was not born to my mother, it was better than my own. When I was still in the house, I loved Lao Wu, a child without a mother, very much. I also heard my mother say that when she left,  This boy was crying and making trouble and insisted on leaving with his mother.  "It's just that my mother was worried about suffering hardship outside, so she didn't bring this boy out.  Now, I am busy with work, but it is Lao Wu. Now in the house, Li Qian is mostly helping him to deal with it, which is quite orderly.  ¡°She really treats my mother as her own mother. Although this boy has a stubborn temper, he is very filial. This is what satisfies me the most.  "By the way, dear grandson, has your aunt arrived in Jiaozhi?" At this time, grandma waved to me and asked.  "Just the day before yesterday, my grandson just received the news that they have arrived in Yulin County, north of Cochin. It will take only seven or eight days at most to arrive." I held my grandma's hand and smiled.  Grandma nodded, sighed softly and said: "It's almost time to reach Jiaozhi. Alas, this daughter-in-law is in trouble. She has only been separated from your uncle for many years. I really don't know how your uncle is doing now.  "Grandma, don't worry. Today's Jiaozhi is equivalent to the rule of my grandson, and the prefect of Jiaozhi is also a sensible person. Therefore, most of the affairs of Jiaozhi are decided by my uncle." I paused and continued.  "Grandma, don't worry. Even my aunt will not be in any danger. My grandson has been escorted by a whole regiment of elite guards. Moreover, a few days ago, my uncle had already fought with the prefect of Yulin County.  Say hello, nothing will happen." After hearing this, grandma sighed in relief and nodded.  "Well, that's good. It saves the couple from being separated by thousands of miles" "Mother, do you miss your eldest brother too?" Mother sat down next to grandma and said considerately.  "Yes, can you not think about your own child? Can you not think about it?" Grandma turned around, grabbed my mother's hand, and said with emotion on her face.  "I really don't know when I will be able to see Dalang." After hearing this, my heart felt astringent. I took a step back and bowed deeply to my grandma.  "My grandson is unfilial, so please ask grandma to teach you." "You kid, get up quickly, come here, my dear grandson, what are you talking about? The old lady didn't blame you, it's better for you to blame yourself first.  "Grandma stroked her shoulder kindly with a kind look on her face.  "I know that the land of Jiaozhi is very important in my grandson's plan to govern the country. Otherwise, how would you let your uncle stay in that barbaric land for so long?" "Grandma" I could only feel sad.  I was speechless. Grandma knew the general situation so well. What else could I say? After thinking about it, I smiled at grandma.  "Grandma, don't worry too much. My uncle will return to Chang'an by the end of next autumn at the latest." Although grandma is very knowledgeable, it doesn't mean she doesn't care about her son. When she heard what I said, grandma's eyes lit up and she sat upright.  Get up.  "My dear grandson, why is this?" "Grandma, because my grandson has already made a plan. Next year, he must take the land of Lingnan and open up the passage to Jiaozhi and the southeast coast." For the family, such a plan is really practical.  There is nothing to hide.  Now, the guys at the General Staff Headquarters are slobbering all day long as they deduce the strategy for the southern advance.  As early as early next year and as late as early summer next year, they will march to the south.  During this period, 50,000 soldiers have been selected from the original Shu army, plus two field armies, and they have been mixed into a group army. Currently, secret intensive training is being carried out in the southern Shu area. Although the climate here is not as good as that of Jiaozhi  It is very similar to the southeastern coast. It is precisely because they are worried that northerners will not adapt to the southern climate, so after returning to the army.  He quietly sent the Sixth Army and the Seventh Army back to Shu, entered the southern Shu area, and formed a southern advance group army with the 50,000 Shu soldiers to conduct strict mixed training. The commander-in-chief of the southern advance group army is still  Qu Tutong, there is no other way. Ever since the last time Qu Tutong wanted to take advantage of a great victory and go into seclusion to avoid being cooked, and was severely scolded by me, the old guy regained his energy and was no longer as good as before.  In the past, I usually wanted to achieve something moderate, so originally, the young master was worried that Qu Tutong was old and would not be able to travel south easily.  As a result, the old guy jumped out and shouted that he was the one responsible for the south. Then, even if it could not be ended in his hands, he must still do his part. Therefore, seizing Lingnan and opening up the important task of connecting with Jiaozhi and the southeast coast  It must be given to him.  Originally, I wanted to belong to Li Jing, but the problem was that Qu Tutong, a senior general with great prestige among the three armies, jumped out, and Li Jing could only shrink his neck in despair.  "However, Li Jing was still appointed as the Chief of General Staff of the Southward Army Group, and the Deputy Chief of General Staff was served by Ma Sanbao.  At present, except for General Qu who left half a month ago,??, others have already rushed to the southern Shu region to conduct inspections and training of the troops. In addition to the climate reason, there is another very important reason why the troops were sent to southern Shu for training. This is because the northern Yunnan region is  It was under the control of the former Sui Dynasty, but the southern Yunnan area was not. It was a group of various large and small tribes composed of Baiyue remnants, occupying the land of southern Yunnan.  The only gratifying thing is that the Kunming area is now under my control.  However, the tribes in southern Yunnan are not stable, and they often have frictions and conflicts with Shu. It is for this reason that I dare not let my aunt go directly to Jiaozhi from southern Yunnan, but take a detour. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When the South March Army is training there, it is naturally not just about playing with knives, but actual combat there. While doing actual combat, it is revising its fighting methods according to the environment and climate in the south.  For example, all the long-range strike weapons of the Southward Army, such as crossbows, have been replaced by steel crossbows. Steel crossbows coated with butter not only have a range and hit rate that is not inferior to wood-based bows.  Crossbows, more importantly, have good adaptability in areas with frequent rainy weather in the south, and are not prone to rust.  In addition, a large number of portable medicines were added to the South March Army to prevent epidemics.  Of course, there are a lot of preparations, all based on the news delivered by Jiaozhi before.  ¡°Currently, nearly 100,000 people are working hard to build cement straight roads in Shu.  In addition, local fishermen and boatmen could not resist the temptation of high salaries and joined the river exploration team and the Yangtze River Navy one after another.  Naturally, the purpose is to step up the exploration of waterways to facilitate the movement and berthing of a large number of ships. Because local fishermen and boatmen are used, this work is carried out extremely smoothly. At present, most of the river sections have been  Ship route map.  With such a river map, the terrible consequences of running aground can be greatly reduced.  What remains unexplored is the last section of Xenli County, and currently, Sichuan is stepping up its efforts to build transport ships and docks.  It is planned to use the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River system and its main tributaries to facilitate shipping and, more importantly, to transfer troops and baggage.  By then, it doesn't matter even if the cement straight road has not been repaired. We only need to transport enough supplies for a hundred thousand troops to fight for three months to the middle of Shu, and then we can use the convenience of waterways to reach the ancient Yelang Kingdom and today's Xinli County.  Within the territory, it will be much more convenient to enter the Lingnan land from now on.  It greatly saves manpower and material resources. In short, I will not foolishly use tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people as civilians for the sake of war. In the end, it will cause anger and resentment. The lessons learned from the Sui Dynasty are right before our eyes. So  , I vigorously develop transportation and water transportation, not only to facilitate the travel of ordinary people, but also to facilitate the central control of local areas, and more importantly, so that when the country is engaged in war, it will no longer consume a lot of manpower and make the domestic situation unstable.  Stablize.  What's more, today's army is not the original army. It doesn't even have military pay. I implement a recruitment system, which means that all soldiers are paid and will no longer work for the country like in the past.  He didn't even make any money, so he might end up on the battlefield soon.  Well, in ancient China, there were two systems for convening the national army, one was the conscription system, and the other was the recruitment system.  The so-called conscription system is not much different from the military service of later generations. In countries or ethnic groups that are mainly agricultural, joining the army is often a forced or semi-forced choice. However, under certain conditions, citizens have the right to engage in military service.  For those who have the necessity and obligation, the system is conscription.  However, the ancient conscription system was much crueler, and the state would not give a penny to these conscripted soldiers. At most, they would be provided with armour, bows and crossbows to equip them with the ability to fight.  But some dynasties even required the conscripted people to prepare weapons themselves. Those who were too poor could even carry a kitchen knife or a hoe to the battlefield.  The recruitment system originated in the Spring and Autumn Period. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Qi simply recruited good talents and established the first special elite force of each country through recruitment instead of traditional conscription: the military soldiers.  In the past, during the Spring and Autumn Period, conscription was mainly for urban households. As the scale of the war expanded, conscription in rural areas also became more vigorous. However, the conscripts were not paid and had to provide weapons and food themselves.  Sometimes, when the weather turns cold in the middle of a war, I have to write a letter to my hometown, ask my mother to make winter clothes, and ask my father to send them over. I really lose money and my life.  After the battle, the conscripted soldiers felt their heads and if they were still there, they went back to their homes to continue working in the countryside.  Wu Qi reformed the traditional conscription system. He recruited soldiers with strict selection criteria. Once they joined the army, Wu Qi paid them wages and became professional soldiers, instead of temporarily conscripting them and going home after the war.  These people put down their farm work and came out to carry the halberd, which was equivalent to finding a long-term job. Not only did they receive a salary, but "one person enlisted in the army, and the whole family was honored." The whole family was exempted from corvee taxes and was given land and housing.
