Chapter 446: Three Years Later (2)
The misunderstanding between the two people is solved,
Lu Bu smiled with satisfaction,
Hurriedly changed the topic and asked:
"Military advisor, if it is simply a combination of Hanzhong and Yizhou, is it still a little thin?"
Jia Xu made Tian Feng stunned,
And a lot of bottles of wine,
The heart is very proud,
Hearing this, he hurriedly laughed,
Stroking his beard, he replied to Lu Budao:
"Didn't the lord forget that there is also the Jinfan Battalion?"
Lu Bu's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this.
Three years ago, the stunning appearance of the Jinfan Camp,
Not only shocked the world,
At the same time, it also allows the high-level of the state to be merged,
admired Lu Bu's foresight very much,
Even Lu Bu himself was taken aback.
He doesn't know much about water warfare.
But that night raided Shouchun,
Thousands of Jinfan battalions fought against tens of thousands of Yuan Shu's army on land,
actually killed the other party to the point of urine,
When the army later withdrew from Yuzhou,
It is also the sailors of the Jinfan Battalion who respond from the side,
Let the remnants of the naval army in Yuzhou collapse,
At the same time, he also defeated the Jingzhou naval army that came to make a bargain several times.
Let everyone see the strength of the Jinfan Battalion.
After Yuan Shu's death,
Although Lu Bu cannot occupy his territory,
But the harvest in Shouchun in those two days is really not small,
Yuan Shu looted almost the entire Yuzhou, including their Runan Yuan family, into the Shouchun Palace.
Before Lu Bu left, although a fire burned down the palace,
But the huge wealth in it is absolutely not wasted.
Everything that can be taken away is removed,
Try not to leave half a copper plate for others.
A big part of that,
also handed over to Gan Ning,
Let him continue to secretly develop the Jinfan Battalion,
After three years of development,
Today's Jinfan Camp has expanded to 8,000 people,
Although the number is not large,
But all of them are elite soldiers,
Each can be one as ten,
And also built a number of large building ships,
Now it has become another super water army on the river,
It is as famous as the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy Army.
Lu Bu's fingers habitually tapped the table in front of him,
Eyes are always patrolling the southwest corner of Yizhou,
Jia Xu noticed the look on his face,
"My lord?"
Lu Bu raised his head and looked back at him,
There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth,
Jia Xu was slightly stunned,
Immediately understood,
Pick up the wooden pole at hand,
Pointed out the location in the northwest of Yizhou,
There is the location of the Western Regions,
Tentatively glanced at Lu Bu,
Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction.
Tian Feng couldn't help but ask:
"Lord, do you mean to let the expeditionary force also intervene in Yizhou?"
Lu Bu stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin,
Asked with a chuckle:
"What do you think, sir?"
Tian Feng frowned slightly,
Twisting the beard under the chin,
Slowly pacing to the side of the topographic map of the sand table,
Eyes keep wandering around Yizhou,
After thinking about it for a long time,
He raised his eyebrows lightly and said:
"Lord, you have a lot of appetite this time."
Lu Bu exaggeratedly touched his stomach and said:
"Hahaha, if you get fat, you will naturally eat more."
Lu Bu's pun on words,
The two people present laughed in unison.
Jia Xu explained in a timely manner:
"Old man Lu Zhi is now submissive to the Western Regions, even those big countries are now subservient to us, and the old man has formed a lot of cavalry troops in the Western Regions, if you go to Yizhou, this army may not be useful, it is better to ......"
The smile at the corner of Lu Bu's mouth spread,
looked at Jia Xu and said softly:
"Strategist, in fact, you have already made a bamboo in your chest, right?"
Jia Xu said with a smile on his face:
"You can't hide anything from your lord."
"Come less, you hide a lot from me, just now Mr. was upset for me, hahaha."
Lu Bu laughed twice,
Restrained his smile and asked:
"Strategist, what is the specific distribution of our army's forces now? I did neglect these during this time. ”
Jia Xu turned his head to Tian Feng and said:
"This old guy knows better than I do, so you better ask him."
The voice fell, and without waiting for Tian Feng to get angry,
Turned around and studied the sand table.
Tian Feng still couldn't help but glare at Jia Xu's back,
Then he picked up the wooden pole,
Xiang Lu Bu pointed and explained:
"Now there are 30,000 greedy wolf iron horsemen and 10,000 wolf warrior special forces in the state headquarters. At the same time, there are Pan Feng's 20,000 peerless army and Gao Shun's 8,000 trapped camp. The total number of local standing troops is about 30,000. In Liangzhou, General Ma Teng now has a total of 50,000 cavalry, and 10,000 troops are stationed in the Hexi area. In Guanzhong and Sizhou, General Zhang He led a total of 80,000 troops, distributed in several passes, which could be safe and worry-free. At the same time, General Zhao Yun's 20,000 troops were in response near Yanzhou. In addition, along the Yangtze River, there is now General Gan Ning's Jinfan Battalion, which has also been expanded. ”
Lu Bumo rubbed his chin and whispered:
"An army of 200,000? Will it be too burdensome? ”
Tian Feng had a smile on his face,
The smile was extremely easy and proud,
He confidently replied:
"The lord is too worried, in the past three years of cultivation business, we have not been idle, all kinds of equipment developed by the craftsman battalion, as well as the many measures implemented by the eldest lady's gate, but in just two or three years, the economy under the lord's command has doubled, and now the trade routes in the Western Regions have been opened up, plus the trade routes of the grasslands, our money and grain are enough to supply 800,000 troops for two consecutive years!"
Lu Bu was really shocked at this moment,
Although his main energy has not been here in the past three years,
But I know some of the circumstances,
Originally, his expectations were optimistic enough,
But when we got the specific data,
I still feel that the big drop is unexpected.
Lu Bu hurriedly asked:
"And what about the population today?"
This question is the most important one.
In this day and age,
Population is the key to everything.
With a sufficient population base,
is equivalent to having everything,
Otherwise, you have a huge fortune or a vast territory,
It's just a passing cloud,
So the army men, horses, money and food that Tian Feng said before,
Although it also made Lu Bu feel pleasantly surprised,
But he was most concerned about the population of the people.
Hearing Lu Bu's question,
Tian Feng's face suddenly bloomed with a bright smile,
Because of overwork, the wrinkles crawl all over the face,
At this moment, it is like a blooming chrysanthemum,
Lu Bu saw this smile of his,
I couldn't help but laugh along,
Tian Feng's face at the moment was really joyful.
"Today, the total population under our rule has reached more than 40 million."
"What, what!?"
Although Lu Bu was already mentally prepared,
But when he heard the number,
I still can't help but be taken aback,
More than 40 million, such a staggering number,
Later generations made a statistic about the total population of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In a historically recorded population census at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty,
At that time, it was still a relatively strong Eastern Han Dynasty,
At one point, the total population of the country reached more than 65 million people.
However, at the beginning of the Three Kingdoms,
Just over 20 million remained.
In just a few decades,
lost 45 million people,
The proportion is more than 60 percent.
There are three main reasons for the sharp decline in population:
War, famine and plague.
After Lu Bu came to this era,
Although many things have changed,
But the general trend of the whole era is still impossible to change.
The entire Eastern Han Dynasty was still in the midst of war.
However, the annexed region has always maintained a relatively stable environment.
In addition, the development of people's livelihood policies that began in the era of Ding Yuan,
After Lu Bu subdued the grassland,
and solved the most troublesome grassland raids,
makes Bingzhou seem to have become a paradise in this troubled world.
Especially Lu Bu and others are far-sighted,
Many policies to attract the population were introduced early on.
It is also the number of people who make the state,
Sustained and steady growth.
But now it can reach more than 40 million,
This number is still far beyond Lu Bu's expectations,
You know, before the entire Eastern Han Dynasty was only 65 million,
That's the total population of the thirteen states under the Han Dynasty.
However, what Lu Bu now occupies is only about one-third of the area under the world.
But it can have a population of 45 million.
This number has far beyond,
The total population of the same area in the Eastern Han Dynasty,
Lu Bu also showed a bright smile on his face at this moment,
On the face without wrinkles,
was stunned by him and laughed into a chrysanthemum.
Tian Feng then spoke:
"Today, although the standing strength of our entire Bingzhou is only more than 200,000, this is without the premise of including the Western Regions Expeditionary Force and the Grassland Alliance, and there are still nearly 300,000 Tuntian soldiers in various parts of the territory. According to the orders of the lord and the eldest lady, these tuntian soldiers are not counted in the regular army, but in the event of a war, they can rush to the battlefield at any time! ”
Lu Bu's mouth was almost grinning behind his ears,
a population base of 45 million,
More than 200,000 should be 300,000 standing troops to be precise.
300,000 Tuntian soldiers,
Eighty is close to a ratio of ninety to one,
Such a proportion of militias,
In this day and age,
It's already unusually low,
This means that
Now the whole world,
Any prince who wants to fight a war of attrition and a war of people with Lu Bu,
It is absolutely impossible to defeat.
Lu Bu smirked vigorously,
Tian Feng continued without stopping:
"Nowadays, our academy has also spread throughout Bingzhou, and now Mongolian learning has been popularized to medium-sized villages and towns, and it will take some time in more remote places, but it will take two years at most, or as little as one year, and it will be able to popularize Mongolian learning in all places today. Cai Yongcai, everyone is now in good spirits and energetic. Even Ma Rong has now become the chief guest secretary of our Jinyang Academy, and he will come over to give lectures from time to time. ”
Lu Bu was left with only a giggle at the moment,
I don't know what words to say to describe my mood at the moment.
"There is also the third lady who founded the 'Prophet Newspaper', with the cooperation of the dark group, it can now radiate almost the entire Central Plains, but the timeliness is indeed relatively slow, but the harrier eagle trained by Liu Jun can be put into use in half a decade, and the timeliness of the dark group and the newspaper will be improved by a step at that time."
Lu Bu stretched out his hand and scratched his head,
I just giggle vigorously.
Tian Feng rested, this commentary really wasted a lot of saliva,
There's no tea in this secret room.
He could only swallow and foam at the mouth to moisten his throat,
After a while,
Suddenly I remembered another thing, adding:
"By the way, the lord, and the second lady, now the team of doctors has expanded a lot, and the first batch of students in the academy have been enriched. In addition, there is another thing, there is a person from the medical department of this college......"
After saying this, Tian Feng's face suddenly became very strange,
The words also paused,
It seems that he doesn't know how to continue talking.
Lu Bu looked at him curiously,
He asked:
"What kind of person is here, sir? Is there anything inconvenient to say? ”
Tian Feng opened his mouth,
In the end, he kicked the ball to Jia Xu, who was hiding on the side, and said:
"You better ask the old fox, that guy knows him well!"
Lu Bu turned his head to look at Jia Xu suspiciously,
Jia Xu showed his signature expression at this moment,
It seems to be expressionless, but it gives people a very cold feeling,
The corners of the mouth twitched slightly,
Showing a bleak smile that doesn't smile,
Rubbing his chin, he said:
"Hey, hey, lord, this guy is a big guy, you must have heard of his name!"
Lu Bu was suddenly hung up in his appetite,
"Who?"
Blinking, suddenly thought of a person,
"Isn't that Hua Tuo Hua Divine Doctor!?"
"Hahaha, that's right, it's this Hua Tuo."
Lu Bu's eyes widened and he said in surprise:
"Doctor Hua Shen is also coming to the academy!?"
"Humph!"
Tian Feng suddenly let out a cold snort on the side.
Lu Bu turned his head strangely,
Jia Xu rubbed his beard,
Squinted his eyes and whispered:
"Hey, hey, Hua Tuo came to the academy, and he was willing to teach medical skills to students for free, but the medical skills he taught made many people unacceptable."
While talking,
deliberately raised his eyebrows at Tian Feng on the other side,
Seeing this, Tian Feng stomped his foot heavily,
"It's not just that I can't accept it, it's just madness and rebellion! Be a teacher in vain! No, people who learn this can't even be called humans, they're just beasts! ”
Here Tian Feng is still cursing in his mouth,
Over there, Jia Xu sneered and said:
"Pedantic!"
Lu Bu will look at Tian Feng for a while,
looked at Jia Xu for a while,
I just feel that my head is more confused,
Hurriedly asked:
"Strategist, what the hell is going on, tell me quickly, this has confused me!"
Hearing Lu Bu's question,
Jia Xu didn't continue to fight with Tian Feng,
Fingers gently twisted the beard and said:
"Everyone in the world knows that the treatment of patients requires needle and stone decoction, but this Hua Tuo also invented a method to save people, which requires disemboweling the patient, has the lord ever heard of it?"
Lu Bu was slightly stunned when he heard this,
reacted immediately,
blurted out and said:
"Surgery!?"
