Chapter 1767: Whimsical?

When he was in the Central Plains, Wang Mang was beaten by Qin Hao all the way, and he was almost shut up, and he almost lost his self-confidence.

It wasn't until he entered Sanhan that Wang Mang regained his self-confidence.

At the beginning of Qingbei, after the crushing defeat to Li Jing, Wang Mang took Chen Qingzhi and Wu Yong, led 5,000 sailors to flee into Sanhan, and then opened the road to conquer Sanhan.

It has always been said that Sanhan is a barbarian land, and when he came to Sanhan in person, Wang Mang knew how backward it was.

As early as the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han army eliminated iron weapons and switched to steel weapons, but except for a few countries such as Goguryeo, most of the national armies of Sanhan are still using iron tools, no wonder they will be pressed to the ground by the Manchu Qing and rubbed on the ground.

The 5,000 naval army under Wang Mang was born in the Liangshan Water Army, and it can only be regarded as a second-rate army in the Central Plains, but it is already an elite in Sanhan, and the configuration of a steel knife in other people's hands is not possessed by most of the Sanhan army.

Relying on the superiority of equipment, Wang Mang only took less than a month to destroy three small southern countries in a row, and had a stable base in Sanhan, but then it also caused panic among other surrounding countries.

The southern countries were worried that Wang Mang would further annex themselves, so they formed coalition armies to come to crusade against Wang Mang, an outsider.

Wang Mang wished that they would take the initiative to call him, so that he could clean up all at once, and save himself the trouble of crusading one by one.

Wang Mang has not yet dispatched Chen Qingzhi's trump card, but only personally led the army, beat the three Han coalition forces to cry his father and mother, and then occupied the country that crusaded against him.

After all, Wang Mang is an outsider, and even if he forcibly occupies the territory, it will be difficult to gain the hearts of the people, and if he gains a firm foothold in Samhan, he must get the support of the local people.

The Sanhan family oppressed the people more than the Central Plains family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the common people of Sanhan are slaves.

After pondering for a long time, Wang Mang decided to follow Zhang Jiao's example and implement land reform on the Korean Peninsula

The territory occupied by Wang Mang is about one-fifteenth of Sanhan, which is not small, and looking at the entire Sanhan, he is now a big prince.

After the news of the land reform came out, the family under Wang Mang's command really rebelled collectively, and Wang Mang's army was merciless and directly slaughtered all the rebel families. In this way, they obtained money and food to feed the army, and obtained land to distribute to the common people.

Wang Mang wielded a butcher's knife to slaughter the family, forcibly promoted land reform in Sanhan, and gained the hearts of the people as quickly as possible, and even the people in other parts of the country were looking forward to Wang Mang, hoping that Wang Mang could come to rescue them as soon as possible.

Since then, Wang Mang has completely gained a firm foothold in Sanhan, and the number of troops in his hands has increased to 20,000.

At the same time as the implementation of land reform, Wang Mang also gave full play to his advantages as a traverser and built a large number of new factories in Samhan, such as paper mills, steel mills, brick factories, weaving factories and other factories.

Under the two fists, Wang Mang's power grew stronger and stronger, and the number of troops also increased to 30,000, which also caused uneasiness and jealousy in the country, and once again formed a coalition army to crusade against Wang Mang.

Wang Mang sent Chen Qingzhi to lead 10,000 troops to meet the battle, and under Chen Qingzhi's personal command, 10,000 Wang troops almost beat the opponent's 30,000 coalition troops, and finally annihilated the coalition forces with very low casualties.

After a great victory, Wang Mang also went out again with his whole army, occupied the enemy country that was crusading against him, and bordered the native power of Samhan.

Among the local forces of Samhan, in addition to Goguryeo, which is the strongest, Baekje, Yubo, and Mahan are also powerful.

Wang Mang didn't care about the other forces, but this was a country that had to care, and Ma Han soon sent troops to attack, so Wang Mang once again led the army to meet the battle.

Of course, Wang Mang also miscalculated, he never expected that when Ma Han was fighting, the rear was attacked by the Japanese invaders, and the losses in all aspects were extremely heavy.

At the same time, the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty went south to Youzhou in the overall situation, which also made Wang Mang see the hope of unifying the three Koreas.

"My lord, although our army can continue to expand at present, there are not enough ordnance in the treasury to arm the army, and with the current output of our craftsmen, even if the craftsmen are working tirelessly to build weapons, it will be too late." Wu Yong reported.

Hearing this, Wang Mang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he was so envious that Qin Hao had the first arsenal in the Han Dynasty, and he had never been troubled by weapons and equipment, and he didn't want him to expand the army because he didn't have any equipment.

Wang Mang also attaches great importance to the arsenal, so he came to Samhan, the first arsenal to be established.

Although Wang Mang's arsenal has not been established for a long time, it has invested a lot of financial and material resources, but it is still only 500 people, so it is naturally difficult to undertake the construction of tens of thousands of troops.

If the weapons and equipment are insufficient, it will naturally be impossible to expand the army, and if Wang Mang wants to unify the three Koreas, the expansion of the army is inevitable.

There is no time to lose, and time waits for no one.

Therefore, Wang Mang must get enough weapons and equipment in a short period of time.

"Where are you going to get the equipment?"

Wang Mang was thinking in his mind about the possibility of getting equipment from the major trends.

It is definitely impossible for the Northern Han Dynasty, after all, he made Liu Che miserable, and now Liu Che is afraid that he will want to swallow him alive directly.

Zhu Ming? Cao Wei? Zhao Song? Sun Wu?

There is a certain possibility of each, but the probability of failure is even greater.

Suddenly, an astonishing idea appeared in Wang Mang's heart, and then a strange smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he said, "This time, we may be able to ask Qin Hao for equipment." ”

"Ask Qin Hao for equipment?"

Wu Yong and Chen Baxian's eyes widened, they were both stunned by Wang Mang's idea.

Qin Hao will give them equipment? How is this possible, it's too whimsical.

Seeing Wu Yong and Chen Qingzhi's disbelief, Wang Mang smiled indifferently and asked, "Who is the most unwilling to see our army unify the three Koreas?" ”

"Of course, it's the native countries of Samhan, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty." Chen Qingzhi replied.

"Then if our army unifies the three Koreas, which side will pose the greatest threat to its strength?"

"I'm afraid this is the Manchu Qing, after all, Sanhan is the only Manchu rear, and the Manchu Qing has paid a great price in order to occupy Sanhan, if the peach is picked by our army, Nurhachi will definitely not give up." Wu Yong said.

Hearing this, Wang Mang laughed: "The Manchu Qing is now the great enemy of the Qin army, Qin Hao wants to occupy Youzhou, he must defeat the Manchu Qing, and even if Qin Hao occupies Youzhou, there will definitely be continuous Manchu conflicts in the future, so compared to the Manchu Qing, Qin Hao will definitely be willing to let me unify the three Hans." ”

Wu Yong's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, if we unify the three Koreas, we will become a nail behind the Manchus, and we will also contain part of the Manchu Qing's troops, which is equivalent to helping Qin Hao share the pressure." ”

Chen Qingzhi also showed a sudden expression, but he still felt that it was unlikely, after all, they and Qin Hao were mortal enemies.
