Chapter 488 Governor Yizhou
In the following time, Ma Su became honest for a short period of time. During this period, he has been in charge of the Hussar General's Mansion and led a group of officials to implement the Mansion Army System in Guanzhong.
The government army system itself is not difficult to implement. As long as you have troops and land and the control is high enough, it is very simple to implement.
Guanzhong was originally a vast area of fertile land, but its population had been depleted during decades of war. In the vast Guanzhong Plain, a large amount of arable land is waiting for people to cultivate it.
After the Han Dynasty captured Guanzhong, Zhuge Liang immediately figured it out. Basically all the available land in Guanzhong was quickly registered, leaving no room for the rich to develop.
In the face of such detailed files, all the problems in the early stages of Fubing's construction were out of the question. Ma Di even discovered that the Prime Minister's Mansion had already built a road for them in advance.
All Ma Su needed to do was to distribute farmland to the soldiers and then build military mansions in appropriate places. Li Mu had been doing these things for many years, and they were quickly resolved.
So not long after, Ma Su was outcompeted by Li Mu again. Without a place to commit suicide, Ma Di could only honestly choose a striker in advance.
Choosing a forward strategy is Ma Su's summary of the battles over the years, especially when there is no time to capture the enemy on the battlefield.
Because Ma Su most of the time uses less to attack more, he usually pursues and kills the enemy's general. As for the lower-level soldiers, they were often unable to capture them all due to insufficient manpower.
Moreover, if too many soldiers are captured, it will also affect Ma Su's death efficiency. Therefore, Ma Di has been troubled by this problem for a long time, so he devised a strategy for selecting a striker.
The specific implementation of this strategy is not difficult, and the core is the selection of elites. Ma Di personally led the troops to carefully select among tens of thousands of troops, and in just half a month, he selected 2,000 soldiers.
Then Ma Su dragged Liu Yin over and asked him to continue doing his job and help Ma Su train this group of elite soldiers. As for the problem of literacy, it was easier to solve it. Ma Di pulled out dozens of people from his earliest old team and solved the problem immediately.
After all, the old team under him were all taught by him. After eight years of fighting, only less than 200 veterans remained from the 3,000 cavalry. But each of these two hundred veterans is good at fighting and can read and write at the most basic level.
Ma Su felt relieved by letting these people come to train the forward selection camp.
At the same time, Ma Di also made changes to the equipment of his infantry.
Because with the recommendation of battlefields, many places in Guandong are no longer suitable for cavalry operations. In this case, if Ma Su wants to die, he must bring infantry, but infantry with conventional equipment will most likely not be able to keep up with his speed.
Even if they keep up, these infantrymen cannot tear apart the enemy's front line as quickly as the cavalry. In order to deal with this problem, Ma Su specially found Master Pu Yuan and built two thousand pairs of two-handed swords that were more than one meter long.
This thing can be said to be a powerful weapon in close combat, especially suitable for use by leading soldiers who rush into the army.
This thing first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin was the first to organize and use it. Later, Qi Jiguang in the Ming Dynasty also used it to deal with Japanese pirates, and it was used with no disadvantages.
However, when organizing the forward selection camp, Ma Di also thought about it himself.
The government's military system, black armored cavalry, and several cavalrymen rushing into battle... these seem to be Li Shimin's standard equipment.
Damn it, I will be a general all day long!
During the three months that these days lasted, Ma Su kept resting on his bed and read the most comfortable period in eight years. During this period, Ma Di was also forced by Zhuge Liang to go home and meet his wife and children.
However, they hadn’t seen each other for so many years, and the teenage Ma Ping looked at Ma Su as if he were a complete stranger. For Ma Su, Ma Ping has always looked at him with eyes that are three parts curious, two parts unfamiliar, four parts adoring and one part alienated.
In this way, it was not until the preliminary construction of the military mansions in the three counties of Weibei was completed that Ma Di was approved by Zhuge Liang to leave Chang'an. Then the memorial was sent all the way to Liu Chan, and the matter was stamped and approved very smoothly.
Ma Su was granted the title of Yizhou Mu, supervised all military affairs in Shu, and was responsible for supervising the Qingzhang's land and the land exchange of the powerful clans. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, he could be regarded as an imperial envoy.
After getting this appointment, Ma Su took a long breath and sighed that he could finally go out and do some activities. For this opportunity to commit suicide, Ma Su stayed in Chang'an for three months.
Fortunately, now I have finally waited for this opportunity.
Ma Su quickly packed his luggage and took only a few of his subordinates and Ma Zhong with him. Including Li Mu who insisted on going with him, he officially took office with only a dozen people.
Yizhou, I, Ma Di, am back!

…………
Yizhou, Chengdu.
After Liu Chan moved the capital to Chang'an, the governance of this land of abundance instantly became a lot deserted. Most of the guards on the previously heavily guarded city were reduced, and the precautions in various places were also reduced a lot.
After all, the emperor was at home before, and the imperial army was on high alert all year round. But now that the prince is gone, Chengdu is just a relatively large city in Shu.
However, although Chengdu has become a lot deserted, there are still many officials left behind. And most importantly, these officials are basically all local officials.
"Finally, the emperor has been sent away, and those people from Jingzhou have also left. After you also leave, it is us men who have the final say in Yizhou." A local official was leisurely touching fish at his post. , said to several colleagues who were packing their bags.
"Speaking of which, why do you want to go to Chang'an with us? Don't you plan to take over Yizhou's foundation?"
The colleague next to him rolled his eyes and replied angrily,
"Our family invested a lot in supporting the Northern Expedition. How did most of the family get back to this position? Now it's finally time to follow the dragon. If you don't follow me, won't your support be in vain?"
"And who said I don't want the property here? Just give me some false land and leave some for me in my hometown."
"Isn't this difficult to handle?"
"Why is it bad? Let alone Zhuge Liang, even Jiang Wan is not in Yizhou anymore. Who can tell if he is making false reports or concealing reports?"
This situation has generally occurred in Yizhou, and all local scholars believe that good times are coming.
But just when these people were celebrating, suddenly an official document from the court arrived, indicating that the new Yizhou Mu was about to take office.
Most officials are unconcerned about this and believe the impact will not be significant. But when the official document was released, the whole Chengdu was instantly shocked.
"Ma Su? Why is he back again?"
