Zheng Zhi rode his horse on the way north to Qizhou (Jinan), and Li Gang also followed him back to Cangzhou.

Now Yunzhou still has some officials in Cangzhou, and the matter of re-inspecting the land is almost done. Only the errands in measuring specific details are left, and there is no resistance.

There is actually another law in the changes of China's dynasties, which is the law of land annexation.

When a new dynasty was established, most of them were accompanied by large-scale land redistribution. Soldiers who had made meritorious will get land, and refugees who had no land during wars will get land. The new dynasty will also formulate a new land system. After the war, they often want to rest and recuperate, so that more people can get land, and the country can receive more taxes and become stronger.

However, after the country's stability, various land annexes began. The land annexation model is closely related to taxation, and is accompanied by this corruption. For example, the land annexation model in Zengtou City is the main reason for corruption. There are also families with larger forces like Zengtou City, which have more land annexation.

In some dynasties, as long as literati have fame and fame, they can be exempted from all corvee and taxes. This is also an important reason for land annexation. Some people from the same clan even transfer the land directly to the name of literati with fame, so that they can avoid taxes. Some sell the land directly to literati with fame, and after getting a sum of money, they rent the original land at a lower commission to cultivate.

No matter which merger method is illegal violence, corruption, or intentional tax avoidance, it is closely related to power. As long as the power can be used, the purpose of tax avoidance can be achieved. Therefore, land annexes have occurred throughout the dynasties and will continue to take place over time.

This will also lead to the loss of national tax revenue and will also cause many people to lose the land on which they depend for their survival. Displaced people will inevitably bring huge hidden dangers to national stability.

When a dynasty ended, land annexation often reached an outrageous level. In the late Ming Dynasty, tax revenue could only receive more than four million taels a year, and serious land annexation was the biggest crux of the problem.

The reasons for internal and external troubles are also closely related to land annexation. The slogan of the King of Chuang Li Zicheng is nothing more than "Welcome the King of Chuang and do not pay grain". The policy promoted by Li Zicheng is to "equalize the land and exempt taxes". There are so many people following Li Zicheng to attack Beijing with weapons, and it is easy to imagine how great the social problems brought about by land annexation are.

Therefore, the change of dynasties is not because anyone can beat whom or who can’t beat whom. In fact, it is the overall reason for a society of an era.

Throughout the dynasties, land annexation has developed to a certain extent, which will inevitably lead to social unrest and national change. This is the main internal factor of the change of dynasties. People who are well-fed and well-dressed cannot rebel with a knife. On the contrary, they will have more reasons to defend their families and the country and protect their hard-won happy life.

After social industrialization, people's production is no longer dependent on cultivated land, and this situation has changed greatly. However, disguised land annexation will also cause some social problems, but there are solutions to these problems. In fact, everything the people pursue is just to eat and wear warmth, and then pursue a little dignity of humanity. I will not talk about these things more.

"Bo Ji, when I return to Cangzhou this time, I want to establish a martial arts school in Cangzhou." Now Zheng Zhi is not idle for a moment, and even if he is shaking his head and rushing to the road, he is still thinking about many things.

"This martial arts school is..." This was the first time Li Gang heard this term. Although he could understand what this thing was as the name suggests, he couldn't think of what this martial arts school was going to say.

"Of course, it is about the battle formation. Now there are 50,000 troops in Cangzhou, and the leaders of the troops are uneven. So we need to conduct training together. The content of the training is roughly divided into several aspects: one is the basic training method, the second is the method of map operation and marching method, the third is the method of tactics formulation, the fourth is the method of command in the battle, and the fifth is the method of logistics support. It is also necessary to establish a staff department, the staff officer, and the plan of the army. Whether it is grand strategy or specific combat tactics, it is all about the matter of staff." Zheng Zhi explained roughly, and obviously thought it through his mind very thoroughly, so he said it at this time.

When Li Gang heard the words, he was extremely shocked and said, "Mr., from ancient times to the present, only Mr. Husband can summarize the matter of the battle formation so concisely. These five methods set a precedent for the theory of the battle formation."

The Chinese have actually studied wars very thoroughly and theories are extremely detailed. There is also the famous "The Art of War". However, these theories are too scattered and quite high-end. Only those with insightful scholars can understand them more thoroughly. In fact, it is not conducive to effective education of military generals of all classes. What Zheng Zhi did was to simplify and explain and systematically summarize these things so that military generals of all classes could understand them and have a specific standard for implementation.

This is also a scientific method for training soldiers and officers in later generations. Zheng Zhi wanted to provide effective universal training and education for officers at all levels in this era.

Make war more controllable, military plans can be implemented better, and tactical goals can be achieved just in time. When should infantry go on and when should cavalry rush, everything is in the system it should have. No matter how small the battle situation is, it is all in this reasonable system.

Instead of sending troops to set up a formation, they will rush to the drums and withdraw when they sound the gold. If the two armies have equal strength, the victory or defeat will be a bit resigned to fate.

There is no big problem with small-scale battles like this. In large-scale battles, tens of thousands of people under their command, this command model is too backward. Big victory is often the gathering of countless small victories. Zheng Zhi wants to raise the winning rate of those small victories to the highest, which naturally increases the winning rate of major battles.

Zheng Zhi heard Li Gang's praise and nodded, "Bo Ji, after arriving in Cangzhou, you will have to work harder for this matter. Choose a good place to build this school yamen first."

"Don't worry, my husband, as long as I raise the request, I will build this school yamen for you in the shortest time." Li Gang was extremely smart, and Zheng Zhi explained a little, and Li Gang already knew in his heart that this matter was of great significance.

Zheng Zhi suddenly remembered someone and shouted, "Where is Wu Yong? Come find Wu Yong."

Niu Dama turned around and went to search for Wu Yong. After searching for a long time, he finally found Wu Yong lying on a flatbed car behind the team. Although the road was flat, there were bumps. Every bump made Wu Yong grin.

"Scholar, my husband calls you." Niu Dada immediately stepped forward and said.

When Wu Yong heard the words, he looked happy and said quickly: "Hurry, give the reins of my carriage to Niu Dutou."

Niu Da is now the deputy head of the personal military capital. It is the same level as Yue Fei, which is also considered a honor for Niu Da.

The soldier who was pulling a horse in front of him quickly handed the reins to Niu Da. Niu Da took the reins, picked up the horse's belly and walked forward.

The flatbed car suddenly accelerated, causing Wu Yong's mouth to tilt, but he still heard Wu Yong say, "Niu Dutou, hurry up so that my husband will not be anxious."

When Niu Da heard this, he clamped the horse's belly twice. The horse was pure and ran away when he stepped on his legs. The flatbed cart behind him also ran.

When he was about to come, Wu Yongqiang supported himself and raised his upper body to pay homage.

Zheng Zhi waved his hand and said, "Lying down, you can't get up within a month. Let's talk about it after you have it done."

Wu Yong was not pretentious and said respectfully after lying down: "I don't know what the husband calls the students?"

Zheng Zhi looked at Wu Yong and said, "I am planning to form a new yamen called the Staff Office, the affairs of joining the army, the plans for joining the army. If you become the deputy chief of this yamen, you will be called the deputy chief of staff. How about you?"

To put it bluntly, this staff yamen is similar to a military advisor, but it has much more responsibilities than a military advisor. Even drawing maps is also a matter of a staff officer. This yamen not only needs military advisors, but also requires more professional technical talents. Even the matter of conveying orders in the future is also a matter of a staff officer.

Zheng Zhi asked Wu to be the deputy chief of staff, and the chief of staff was naturally Zhu Wu. Zhu Wu followed Zheng Zhi for several years and worked diligently. Although he was not as quick as Wu Yong, Zhu Wu was safe. No matter what department, the chief officer would always choose a safe person.

Wu Yong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly supported himself and said, "Thank you, my husband, I will definitely do my job well, and there will be no mistakes again."

Wu Yong was worried all the way because he was afraid that Zheng Zhi would be alienated because of his oversteps and orders. Now Zheng Zhi's arrangement has dispelled Wu Yong's concerns. Wu Yong naturally understood the two words of joining the army and joining the army. Wu Yong could guess the power of this yamen. Wu Yong could also guess the position of being the deputy chief of this yamen. Wu Yong's status is obvious.

"It's great. You'll be by your side every day. Please teach you many things. This deputy chief of staff is not that easy to do." Zheng Zhi said again. There are quite a few things to teach. The first thing is to formulate a fixed set of procedures, and Zheng Zhi really needs to teach these things that the staff members need to do. It's a drawing. Although it's not very complicated, it's not that easy to teach a few people.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, the students will do their best to study and live up to what you expect." Wu Yong looked very happy, afraid that Zheng Zhi would not take him with him, and afraid that Zheng Zhi would not teach him. As long as Zheng Zhi spent his hard work on him, it proved his importance.

After Wu Yong truly saw Zheng Zhi's methods, his mind seemed to become more and more determined, and he believed that Zheng Zhi was the future of his own country scholars. Wu Yong also enjoyed the feeling of being in water by Zheng Zhi. If he was not favored by Zheng Zhi, Wu Yong really didn't know what he could do, and his pursuit in this life would be shattered, let alone the meaning of life.

"Niu Da, bring Wu Yong's carriage over a little." Zheng Zhi ordered.

Niu Danana did as he did, and the army was still moving forward. Zheng Zhi had already started teaching: "There is nothing to do in the march, so I will tell you about some battle formations. I will ask you first, how can I quickly know the overall terrain of a strange place?"

"Students think that if you want to quickly understand the terrain, scouts are the best way to send scouts to inquire, so you can know the terrain." Wu Yong replied, but he was confused in his heart, that was, this Mr. Zheng seemed to have taught him as an outsider.

But Wu Yong didn't know that Zheng Zhi's subsequent words naturally led to a military topographic map. Military maps with contour lines were too important. They were also what Zheng Zhi wanted to teach the most first.
