At the same time, it is necessary to control the population of the north so that it cannot grow too fast, otherwise they are all human beings, and it is certain that the population base in the north is large, and the growth rate will be faster.

This is definitely not a simple matter, Li Xinchen wants to do the latter, and he has to constantly provoke disputes in the north, and then from now on, Yu Wenxian and Yang Jian also realize that it may be difficult for the two sides to completely annex each other in a short period of time, so they have begun to focus on accumulating strength, and are ready to solve the problem by deciding the outcome of a war, and there will definitely be fewer and fewer large-scale conflicts like before.

The same big wars, large-scale battles and continuous skirmishes, the casualties are certainly different.

In small-scale engagements, the casualties on both sides are likely to be 1,000 killed and 800 self-inflicted, especially in the battle of the scout team, one of the tasks of the scout team on both sides is to cut off the enemy's minions, so the scout of the other side is always killed, but the big battle is different.

If a large army wants to maintain its full combat strength, the battle damage cannot exceed 30% to 40%, even if it is an elite army, in fact, it can only bear the pressure of 50% or 60% of the battle loss, after all, the death rate of one-half is enough to make the determined people feel fear.

An army can be split into pieces, and it can break into the heart of the enemy, but it is difficult to watch the enemy press unstoppably and watch the robes and brothers around him fall one after another. Sometimes human nature and the human heart are very magical and elusive.

Therefore, in large-scale battles, the two sides have been engaged for a long time and have a wide area, but it does not mean that the battle loss ratio will be high, when the army can not support and collapse, in fact, many soldiers are caught rather than killed, otherwise there will be no historical facts in the Battle of Changping and the rebellion at the end of Qin, Bai Qi and Xiang Yu, the two fierce gods, killed and surrendered the troops.

Once Yu Wenxian and Yang Jian are ready to change the way of fighting in the future from the original small-scale continuous conflict to a general battle, then it means that the population in the north will only flow but will not decrease on a large scale, anyway, no matter what direction these young and middle-aged people flow to, they will definitely not flow to Li Xinchen, so the population gap between the north and the south will still be bigger and bigger.

Even if Li Xinchen has the ability to turn the sky upside down, it is impossible to really reverse such a disadvantage in every battle, especially now that his judgment of the battle situation is completely impossible to have enough historical basis as before, so the next battle is destined to be cruel and tragic for the Han.

Li Xinchen wants to end this troubled world, but he can't really have any mercy, at least for now, killing all the soldiers and horses in the north is the best way to make the unification of the world come faster.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have been discussing for many days," Xiao Maha said in a deep voice at this time, "For the war in the north, the ministers are willing to offer three strategies, which is also the result of the discussion between the ministers and the Duke Gu." ”

Li Xinchen ran out for a walk, and of course the civil and military ministers in the Jiankang Mansion were not dry meals, and they were also thinking about how to solve the impasse in front of them.

Immediately, Xiao Maha stretched out his hand and pointed on the map: "Now the reform of the system of my Han has been carried out step by step, and the reform in the army has been fully implemented in the front-line armies, and the follow-up new armies are also being rectified. ”

Li Xinchen bowed slightly, of course he knew this, as the Hanzhong army that gave priority to restructuring, it was very prominent in this Northwest War, and for the naval division, after all, the composition framework of the army was different from that of the land division, but Wang Chang and Qi Xin still implemented it little by little.

After all, in Li Xinchen's vision and the plan that is indeed being implemented now, the naval division will be built into a large-scale navy, and in the long run, this navy will be the decisive force for the eastern route.

The Huaibei defense line was already impregnable, and it was obviously a fool's dream to make a breakthrough in a short period of time, so Li Xinchen simply pinned his hopes on the sailors, in order to be able to cross the Huaibei defense line through the sailors and go straight to Qingzhou from the sea.

And Xiao Maha then said: "Now we must form a new army under the framework we already have, especially to fill in one by one, and transform the southern and central departments and the Lingnan departments that have not yet accepted the reorganization into actual combat strength, so that they can replace the soldiers and horses left behind in the rear, and even go to the front line as a reserve." ”

After a pause, Xiao Maha added: "But such a troop reorganization must be carried out without affecting farming and workshop production, and we must give every young and middle-aged man enough marching and array training as much as possible, so that all people can fight and farm." ”

"Ploughing and warfare are the foundation of the country." Luo Ya, the head of the household department, said at this time, "The top and bottom of the household department have counted the changes in the annual harvest in various parts of the south in the past ten years, and I think it will be your majesty's reference. ”

After a cursory glance at the thick piece presented by Luo Ya, Li Xinchen couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Since the Hou Jing Rebellion, Jiangnan's vitality has been greatly damaged, coupled with the Huajiao Rebellion more than ten years ago and the later Huainan War, Jiangnan's hard-to-accumulate family foundation has almost been consumed, and the army mainly consumed by the people of Jiangnan has naturally consumed the young and middle-aged labor force in Jiangnan, so that for a long time, the density of towns in Jiangnan has not even been as dense as Lingnan.

It was not until Li Xinchen replaced Nanchen that the harvest in Jiangnan began to improve, and this most prosperous hinterland of the Chinese nation in history for thousands of years finally began to show its strong production capacity again.

In any case, it is true that the soil and water in the south are more likely to produce more fish and rice to feed the population, and further south, the production of food is also higher, and there are more kinds of fruits and exotic animals, so it is easier to feed people.

Sometimes Li Xinchen thinks that the further south the country is, the more difficult it is to rise, it is likely that the sultry environment and sufficient food make them too lazy, for example, there are almost no rising powers along the equator in later generations, and in ancient China, the southern dynasties were generally conquered after being peaceful.

In addition to the difference in size, the main reason is that the wealth of the south makes them not want to become a "fighting people", but more greedy for pleasure and indulge in a comfortable environment, while the nomads who shiver in the cold wind of the north naturally want to be able to conquer others to get more food.

Food and clothing are the foundation of human survival and development at any time, and talking about anything else based on a good life of food and clothing is a hooligan.
