Chapter 196: Displaced people and criminals, expand the army by 100,000

Bingzhou is a bitter cold place, and there are constant wars, and the migration of displaced people generally does not choose to merge with the state, so naturally the three northern counties will not be selected. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, for ordinary people, the temptation of land is unlimited, as long as the Yanmen army can guarantee the safety of the territory, even if it is a bitter cold place like Bingzhou, there will definitely be people coming.

Die immediately, and then die after a while, anyone will choose to die after a while, after all, it's better to die than to live!

Now that the Yanmen army has recovered the three counties in the north and south, it has a large amount of idle land, which has hit the Xiongnu hard, and there will be no external troubles for a long time in the future, which can be regarded as creating a relatively stable living environment.

Therefore, Qin Hao believes that once the displaced people in the world know that the Yanmen Army is willing to distribute land and cultivate for the displaced people who settle in the three counties, some of the displaced people will be tempted and set their sights on the three counties in the north and central China, and this part will have at least a million people.

Although the Yellow Turban is under the slogan of serving the people of the world, it is the people who suffer together in the war, and the land of Kanto can be described as full of displaced people.

And for these homeless people, the Yellow Turban wants to take care of it, but they are powerless, they can't support them all, and the Han family doesn't care about the life or death of these homeless people at all, it was like this in the past, and it is still like this.

The displaced people are the easiest population for the Yanmen army to absorb, after all, the resettlement of displaced people does not need to be like prisoners of war, and all the supplies are provided by the Yanmen army.

The resettlement of displaced people only needs to provide food and shelter in the short term, and when the planted grain grows, the Yanmen army will return to its original capital.

Although the policy of criminalizing the people and fighting the border was set before, the premise was that after the suppression of the Yellow Turban, now that the Yellow Turban has not been extinguished, the Yanmen Army can't stop expanding the population, right?

As far as the current Yanmen Army is concerned, the combination of recruiting displaced people and criminals to fight on the border is the most effective way to rapidly expand the population in a short period of time!

"I'm afraid this matter won't be easy to do!" When Zhang Rang heard this, he immediately frowned and said: "It's nothing to give an edict to persuade the displaced people to come to the state, rather than let those peasants starve to death, it is better to let them come to the state." But what Liu Hong desperately hopes for now is that the eldest brother can quickly lead the army south, and the immigration move will inevitably be delayed for a while, and Liu Hong will definitely not be willing! ”

"yes." Qin Hao raised his eyebrows, and after pondering for a while, a hint of brilliance flashed in his eyes.

"Fifth uncle, you and Liu Hong said this, now that the cold winter is coming, the Yellow Turban will definitely not start a war at this time, and the decisive battle will definitely be after the spring of March next year."

Qin Wen and Zhang Rang nodded in agreement.

Weather is the biggest factor restricting the war, no army can fight in the harsh winter season, it is already October, the temperature has plummeted, so the decisive battle between the Yellow Turban and the Han Dynasty must be in the spring of next year!

"In this battle, more than half of our Yanmen army suffered casualties, and it is no longer able to fight." A sneer flashed at the corner of Qin Hao's mouth, and he said: "So it takes time to replenish the troops, and in the next five months, in addition to rebuilding the Yanmen Pass and relocating the displaced people, my Yanmen Army will also recuperate and recuperate by the way, so as to reorganize the army for war." In March of the next year, my father and I will definitely lead 30,000 iron horsemen to help in the battle at Tiger Prison Pass! ”

"In this case..."Zhang Rang thought for a while, then nodded: "Fifth uncle, I am sure to persuade Liu Hong!" ”

The Luoyang Imperial Court did not know the specific casualties of the Yanmen Army, so the specific extent of the casualties was not up to Zhang Rang.

This panic is very easy to spread, after all, in such a big battle, it is normal to be injured more than half!

Therefore, instead of letting the heavily damaged Yanmen army go south, it is better to let Qin Wen stay in Yanmen to reorganize the battle, anyway, the Yanmen army with heavy casualties will not affect the final battle, but after recovering its strength, it has 30,000 elite iron cavalry, and the Yanmen army, which is even stronger than in the past, can, and the five-month decisive battle can't be fought.

No one knows Liu Hong better than Zhang Rang, the emperor who was single-handedly put on the throne by himself, Liu Hong is ambitious, but lacks ability and skill, and wants to make a career, but he is afraid to look forward and backward, if it is not for his own ten permanent servants are in front, Liu Hong must be a puppet in the hands of the family.

30,000 elite Yanmen Iron Horsemen, this is already a combat force that can affect the battle situation, such a temptation, Liu Hong absolutely can't refuse!

Qin Wen laughed when he heard Qin Hao say that he wanted to bring 30,000 iron horsemen, and couldn't help but say, "Hao'er, where did we get 30,000 iron horses?" ”

The total number of soldiers in the Yanmen Army is only 40,000, where are the 30,000 iron cavalry? The Yanmen army is not short of war horses, but it is impossible for cavalry to become an army without one or two years of training, and five months is too short!

"Not yet, but soon!" Qin Hao said confidently: "In the battle of Donglongkou, the child captured a large number of war horses, which was more than enough to expand to 30,000 cavalry. ”

Qin Wen nodded, Qin Hao captured seventy or eighty thousand war horses in this battle, and the Qin family spent four years building more than a dozen horse farms in Yanmen, and Qin Hao's capture in the first battle was equivalent to more than half of the Qin family's development for four years.

"And this time to recover the three counties, except for the Huns, all the Hu people in the three counties have surrendered, and the child is ready to select 10,000 cavalry from the Hu people to expand my Yanmen cavalry team!"

When Qin Wen heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "Hao'er, is this move inconsiderate, will the Hu people be driven by us?" It's not good to be eaten back. ”

Qin Hao smiled indifferently and said confidently: "Father, don't worry, the child is absolutely sure that he can subdue this group of Hu people for our army." ”

Qin Wen no longer speaks, he knows that his son never lies, since Qin Hao said that he is sure, then he is absolutely sure, Hu Ren's riding skills are superb, if he can really be subdued, it is indeed a big help.

"After the recovery of the three counties, the territory under the command of our Yanmen Army has more than doubled, and the current 40,000 troops are no longer enough to garrison. Once the exile captives are in place, the population of the territory will also grow dramatically, and it is time to expand the army! Qin Wen asked Qin Hao, "Hao'er, how much do you think the army should be expanded?" ”

"One hundred thousand!"

Qin Hao's lips moved slightly, revealing a number that surprised Qin Wen.

In Qin Wen's opinion, after five months of immigration, the population under the leadership of the Yanmen Army can definitely increase by one million, and it is easy to directly recruit 100,000 soldiers.

The situation in the north is different from that in the south, and the ratio of soldiers to civilians in the south is already the limit, and if there is more, the local economy and people's livelihood will collapse. But the north is different, the population in the north is already small, and the war is constantly close to foreign races, the ratio of soldiers and civilians to the limit is 1 to 5, and the Yanmen army is 1 to 10.

According to normal calculations, the Yanmen Army, which has a population of 1.5 million in five months, can be expanded to 150,000 or even more, but Qin Hao only needs 100,000, which has to make Qin Wen wonder.
