Chapter 497: Number of Troops

In third place, Yeli County's tax revenue is not as good as that of Puhua, and its population is not as good as that of Malu. And the gap will be nearly doubled. It is comparable to the tax revenue of the fourth-place Tus County, and the gap is not large.

In the end, Malu and Puhua counties have a special status, and the magnetic attraction effect is significant. So there are enough qualifications and conditions to become a super-large city. Now, with the expansion of Khorasan's territory, more cities with geographical advantages are included in Khorasan's rule.

Like Xunsigan in Hezhong County, as an old national capital. Even if it has now been downgraded to a county, it is still not to be underestimated. This can be reflected in the population. Like now, after the war to the calmdown, the people's livelihood has almost recovered. There were as many as 710,000 registered people. Although it includes the population of many county towns in Hezhong County, the population of Xunskan City accounts for 60% of the total population.

And with the abundant historical capital accumulated by Xun Sigan, such as a livable living environment, a considerable consumer market, and a lot of wealthy businessmen in the city. During the holidays, all industries are prosperous and people are prosperous, which is a certainty.

The Khorasan high-level officials have already discussed raising the administrative level of Hezhong County!

It's just that the founding ceremony is important now, so it has to be suppressed.

After Zhang Timing finished his speech, the civil and military officials in the hall had a clear understanding of the people's livelihood in Khorasan.

This was followed by Li Gao, the head of the household department, who reported on this year's military achievements.

The victories of various battles are known to everyone, but few people know how many people died and how many were killed or wounded. Now it is a systematic report of the war in recent years, and the data on battle damage have also been counted.

Li Wei maintained his usual solemn expression, and said loudly: "Lord of the country." The Battle of Khorasan via the Gulkhyber River, the Battle of Khujand in Khujand, the Battle of the Great Liao Balasagon Recovery, the Battle of the Persian Assassins, and the Battle of Ganzhou in the Xia Kingdom, killed 85,283 enemies and captured 491,767 prisoners. These were decisive battles, related to Khorasan's decisive superiority on the battlefield. There are also some minor battles, which are not said because of the need for time.

In this era when cold weapons are the home field, 85,000 enemies killed is already an extremely high number. This is only the number of deaths killed in the first place, and subsequent deaths due to infection caused by injuries are not counted.

The number of believers in the latter is no less than the former.

As for the captured enemy troops, the numbers are also not accurate. Because the results of the statistics were before the end of the Battle of Suzhou in the Xia Kingdom. The subsequent western expedition of the Kipchak steppe is not included in the statistics. And on the battlefield, there are quite a few deserters.

Although they were spared captives, many of them were later captured. In addition, those who were more fortunate took advantage of the chaos and fled to a remote place incognito. When the limelight passes, he will change his identity and become a good citizen of Khorasan.

So this figure of nearly 500,000 is only partial.

After the reorganization of Khorasan, sixty percent of these people changed their doors and gave food to Khorasan as soldiers. Thirty percent were sent to remote places and became new immigrants. Another ten percent were guilty of sin, and became cheap laborers in the Ministry of Labor.

And Khorasan's strength has also reached an unprecedented height after this surge. When Li Qi said it, the people present couldn't help but gasp.

"Our army lost 24,126 killed, 10,624 wounded and disabled, and 3,391 captured." Compared with the enemy troops killed and captured, Khorasan's losses were very small. However, it is very regrettable that more than 30,000 people were killed or wounded in the war.

The casualties of the three major legions of Eagle, Red Flame, and Firmament are only one to two thousand! Compared to the total number of dead and wounded, it does not seem to be much. But the three major legions are elite, and it is sad to have a hundred dead and wounded, let alone one to two thousand.

It is equivalent to a thousand-household team, which directly lost its combat effectiveness.

The servant army, which had not been reorganized for a long time, and the tribal army that had been temporarily assembled by various troops, were the main casualties. Some tribes were completely wiped out. There were also reorganized servant armies, all of whom were killed in battle. The captured Khorasan soldiers were almost all from these servant armies.

Even the tribal army was rarely captured by the enemy.

However, no matter how many casualties they had, it would not hurt the muscles and bones of Khorasan, so the civil and military officials present did not feel that it was a great tragedy to kill and injure so many people. Some of the new officials who had joined Khorasan did not have much sympathy for these soldiers from the same place.

And quite the opposite!

They rejoiced at the death and wounding of these people!

Because only in this way can the new lord see how loyal and reliable they are.

The officials of Khorasan have been on par with Li Chengji in buying people's hearts. All kinds of post-war pensions were also paid out as soon as possible. Now the families of the dead and wounded soldiers are grateful for Khorasan's generosity and benevolence.

Some of the families of the warriors who died at the hands of Khorasan and have now become the new people of Khorasan regret that their husbands or sons died in vain. Not only did he get nothing, but he also had a bad criminal record against Khorasan.

As a result, no matter how late the new people in Khorasan joined Khorasan, they would not reveal to others that their husbands or sons had fought against Khorasan and had been killed.

Otherwise, you will only be ridiculed and poked in the back.

Li Chengji listened to Li's atmospheric report, and went west with emotion to bow to those dead and wounded soldiers. When those officials saw it, they all followed suit.

To the west is the place of pilgrimage, and the dead will be admitted to heaven by default! Although not all of the soldiers who died were Muslims, in Khorasan, where Islam is the state religion, none of this mattered.

At that moment, Li Gao's report was not over, and he continued: "Our army has 370,400 soldiers and soldiers. The legion has six legions: Eagle, Chiyan, Firmament, Persia, Western Expedition, and Zhiyong, as well as border armies of Malu, Puhua, Yeli, Tusi, Bancheng, Gur, Sinde, and Sistan. ”。

In order to maintain the rule of a place, almost every county has a border army. And the establishment of each county is 10,000 people. If it is a frontier county, and the military defense covers a large area, the number of people may increase.

At present, the number of border troops in Gansu Province is the largest, with 30,000 people. At present, it has just been formed, and the local military defense is mainly a temporary mixed corps that has just rushed over to take over, and the source of troops is mainly from the three major corps of Eagle, Chiyan, and Firmament.

Only if they are in Gansu Province, can Li Chengji stay in Malu with peace of mind. Otherwise, he would never have returned so easily.

"Lord of the Kingdom! The army is expanding too fast, and the source of troops is complex. There are many language barriers between the soldiers, which is harmful but not beneficial to the army. And there are many armies without numbers, and the main general does not know who belongs to. There are signs of instability in the army's mind. Therefore, the minister asked to redefine the number and stabilize the morale of the army. Timur said in a loud voice.
