Chapter 100 Wagang Village(2/2)
[Pre-conditions]: A great scholar is required to be appointed as the Imperial College in Nanjing (civil officials whose territory meets this condition: Fan Zhongyan, Chen Qiao)
【Construction cycle】: 120 days
Yingtian Academy is an Imperial College level building and is already the highest institution of learning. Students may even understand military talents.
The Yingtian Academy, which Fan Zhongyan taught, trained civil officials and Confucian generals.
Fan Zhongyan himself is a Confucian general.
But the construction cost of Yingtian Academy is too expensive, and it requires 50,000 taels of silver.
Moreover, this does not include the salary of the lecturers of Yingtian Academy and the expenses of various personnel, as well as the maintenance costs of Yingtian Academy.
If there are 2,000 students, Yingtian Academy will spend more than a few thousand taels of silver per month.
Yingtian Academy is a building used to cultivate talents, so Yingtian Academy is purely a expenditure department.
At present, Zhang Hua really can't afford to build Yingtian Academy, and he can't afford to support so many scholars.
According to Zhang Hua's estimate, an Imperial College must be built unless the territory's population increases tenfold.
So far, the county schools in the three counties have become the highest institution of learning.
The two high-end buildings, namely the Bow and Crossbow Arrow Building and the Wuhou Temple, are under construction.
"The pattern of the plain is now very obvious."
“To the west of the plain is my sphere of influence, with a population of 150,000.”
"There is the sphere of influence of Gongzi Fusu in the middle, with a population of 120,000."
"The north is the sphere of influence of Jin Wushu, with an unknown population, ranging from about 100,000 to 200,000."
"The east is the sphere of influence of Wagangzhai, and its population is unknown."
Zhang Hua spreads out the map of the Great Plains.
On the plain, Huang Taiji, Zhang Shicheng, Liangjiabao and other forces were destroyed, and several major forces stood out, and the plain showed a situation of separatist rule by four major forces.
The forces bordering Zhang Hua are Gongzi Fusu and Jin Wushu.
Prince Fusu is Zhang Hua's ally, and Jin Wushu is his mortal enemy.
Jin Wushu occupied the valley north of Xia Town, and sent troops to capture several small forces such as Liangjiabao, and annexed several villages of Huang Taiji, with a strong momentum.
Zhang Hua found it difficult to judge the exact population of Jin Wushu territory.
"If the troops were sent to attack Jin Wushu, would Prince Fusu break the promise?"
Zhang Hua and his son Fusu agreed to send troops to attack Huang Taiji. The Huang Taiji power has been destroyed and the two forces bordered and conflicts may break out at any time.
Chen Gong analyzed for Zhang Hua: "Young Master Fusu pays attention to morality, and he will not backfire the alliance. But Meng Tian is a military strategist, and he is willing to be deceitful. If we are about to attack and destroy Jin Wushu, Meng Tian will definitely send troops."
"The population of the power of Gongzi Fusu is already smaller than that of us. If we destroy Jin Wushu, the population will be twice that of Gongzi Fusu. Meng Tian will definitely not let this happen."
“The speculation from the public station makes sense.”
Zhang Hua knew Meng Tian’s power. Meng Tian grew up in the Warring States Period and did not believe in Confucian bullshit and righteousness, and advocated military strategists.
Meng Tian knew that he could not make either party bigger, even if the other party was an ally.
Once Zhang Hua conquered Jin Wushu, his next target would be Prince Fusu.
Therefore, when Zhang Hua fought with Jin Wushu, the probability of Meng Tian sending troops was more than 90%.
"The public station believes that how should we stop Meng Tian from sending troops?"
"Turn the tiger and swallow the wolf."
Chen Gong once again offered a plan to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf.
"You mean to make Wagangzhai get into evil with Prince Fusu?"
Zhang Hua and Chen Gong cooperated for a long time and quickly understood Chen Gong's meaning.
Chen Gong said: "We can spread rumors in Wagang Village, and they say that Meng Tian plans to attack Wagang Village. Wagang Village Li Mi. I heard that this person has great ambitions and must be secretly planning to annex Prince Fusu. As long as we hear the rumors, the two forces will have a battle."
"It's amazing."
Zhang Hua looked at Chen Gong with admiration again.
Chen Gong exerted the diplomatic concept of far-reaching and near attacking to the extreme.
As long as Wagangzhai and Gongzi Fusu were fighting, Zhang Hua would not have to be on guard against Gongzi Fusu and free up his hands to deal with Jin Wushu.
The Wagangzhai in the eastern part of the plain is already a first-class town, and it is heading towards a second-class town.
The population of Wagangzhai is 30,000, and the scale is even larger than that of Xia Town and Qin Town.
This is still the population of Wagang Village.
There are also towns and villages below Wagang Village.
Under the leadership of the village leader Li Mi, Wagang Village became the overlord in the eastern part of the plain.
Li Mi is not a simple leader of the peasant army.
Li Mi's great-grandfather Li Bi was one of the eight pillar states of the Western Wei Dynasty. Later, he became the Grand Tutor of Northern Zhou and Duke of Wei.
Li Mi's grandfather Li Yao was the Taibao of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Duke Xing.
Li Mi's father Li Kuan was the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Sui Dynasty and Duke of Pushan County.
Li Mi's origin was equivalent to Yuan Shao, who was the third Duke of the Fourth Democrat in the late Han Dynasty, and even more so.
The original leader of Wagang Village was Zhai Rang. Later, Li Mi joined Wagang Village. With his prestige and military achievements, he excluded Zhai Rang and became the leader of the village.
This is somewhat similar to Song Jiang in Water Margin.
However, Li Mi's talent is far superior to Song Jiang.
Li Mi in history was a hero, and Song Jiang was not even qualified to carry shoes to Li Mi.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Zhang Xutuo, a famous general, led his generals Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, were still defeated by Li Mi.
Zhang Xutuo was defeated and killed. Li Mi's reputation soared. He defeated Wang Shichong again. Yu Wenhui and his command was full of powerful generals, and there was hope of unifying the world for a time.
Unfortunately, Li Mi was proud and complacent in the later period and killed the presidency of the village leader, losing many soldiers to support him, and was defeated by another hero of the Sui Dynasty, Wang Shichong, to win.
After learning that he failed because of his pride and complacent, Li Mi, who had traveled through time, dared not be complacent and tried his best to win over the Wagang Village people to prevent the loss of Wagang Village generals.
With the current situation in Wagang Village, Wagang Village is really likely to conquer the plains, and the generals of Wagang Village are temporarily dependent on Li Mi.
Unless Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty came in person or the Wagang Village was defeated, these Wagang Village generals could be betray Li Mi.
On the tiger-skin throne in Wagang Village, Li Mi summoned all the generals to discuss the next strategy.
"The officials from all villages and towns reported that Meng Tian sent a large number of detailed inquiries about our information, and most of them were to prepare for the troops."
"Xia Town in the west has defeated Huang Taiji, with a population of more than 100,000."
"We must defeat Gongzi Fusu as soon as possible and sweep the plains, so we cannot let them continue to grow bigger."
"What do you think?"
Li Mi expressed his plan to attack Prince Fusu and scanned the generals of Wagang Village below.
The people in Wagang Village were really not afraid of Meng Tian, so they were ready to try.
Although Meng Tian is a famous general, his two fists cannot beat four hands.
Wagang Village needs commanders, strong generals, strong generals, and military advisors. The leader Li Mi is also a hero of a generation. It can be said that he is qualified to compete in the Central Plains, and his lineup is even more luxurious than that of the power of Prince Fusu.
"Military advisor, what do you think?"
Li Mi looked at the military advisor Xu Shiji of Wagang Village.
Xu Shiji pondered: "This group of detailed works that spread news on our Wagang Village territory may not be the ones of Prince Fusu."
After hearing Xu Shiji's judgment, the generals of Wagang Village were all shocked.
Li Mi's reaction was not as surprised as the generals of Wagang Village. His wisdom was second only to military advisor Xu Shiji.
However, although Xu Shiji's intelligence is higher than Li Mi, some people are naturally suitable for being military advisors rather than leaders.
Li Mi vaguely realized that this group of scattered figures was not the subordinate of Prince Fusu, and Xu Shiji asked Li Mi to make up his judgment.
"No matter whether the detailed work sent by Prince Fusu or not, we have a reason to attack Prince Fusu. Prince Fusu is not Qin Shihuang, and without Wang Jian's service, Meng Tian is much worse than Wang Jian. Our Wagang Village can defeat him."
"Wei Zheng coordinated the troops, horses, food and grass in various departments as reserves."
"Wang Bodang, Cheng Yaojin, Shan Xiongxin, and Xu Shiji each led two thousand elite soldiers and were the four cavalry of the inner army."
When Li Mi traveled over, fierce generals such as Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan were still generals of the Sui Dynasty and did not rely on Li Mi.
However, the lineup of Wagangzhai, which has not yet reached its peak, is already quite luxurious.
In literature, there are Wei Zheng, there are Zhi, there are Xu Shiji, there are Wu, there are Cheng Yaojin, Shan Xiongxin, and Wang Bodang.
"The four cavalry commanded 8,000 internal troops, and set up 12,000 other troops, sent 20,000 troops to attack Gongzi Fusu."
Li Mi recruited soldiers in the Wagangzhai territory and conscripted an unprecedented 20,000 troops. He decided to destroy Prince Fusu first and then Xiazhen.
Because Chen Gong instigated the relationship between Wagangzhai and Prince Fusu, war broke out again on the plains.
