On the contrary, the new tactics of the Xian army, as flexible and multi-repeated tactics, "advanced" equipment, caught the armpits by surprise, and the use of a large number of heavy artillery and even motor vehicles, which made the war beneficial to the Xian country to the greatest extent.

However, the traditional linear tactics of the Western Front are still pushed layer by layer, relying on the tactics of the sea of people, and in any case, they cannot achieve the tactical effect of the Xian Army, which is still understandable.

However, military incompetence and incompetence cannot be used as an excuse for political defeat, and today's situation is still the result of the Son of Heaven.

In the middle and late of the first month, the vanguard of the Jin army arrived at the front line one after another, and the first thing to do on the road was to send troops into Mitsu City and send people into the forest to mine gold.

While the army is actively planning to continue to use troops, the navy, after three months of repairs, replenishment, and rotation, set out again to coordinate with the army's deployment of troops in the north to eliminate the threat to the east coast of the Changsun Peninsula, and at the same time continue to carry out strike missions to eliminate more of its maritime forces.

On the afternoon of February 11, King Xian took the time to set up a banquet in Bailing Garden to entertain Bailiyan, but apparently he did not have any good intentions.

Due to the smooth advance of the battlefield on the Eastern Front, Jiang Yu is now beginning to think about how to make the eldest grandson state lord thank him after recovering the homeland of the eldest grandson.

More importantly, when and on what occasion to open this mouth. And this kind of thing Bailiyan has done a lot, and it is most suitable for him to give advice.

"Lord Si Nong, last year, our army was invincible, recovering nearly ten counties of land, according to the development of this situation, this year should be able to recover most of the lost land, in the first half of next year, it is time to go to the sea to feed the fish."

"Hehe, the king, this is too optimistic. War is full of variables, and today's events cannot be based on yesterday's current situation as a model, and can be calculated simply by addition and subtraction. ”

"Then, in the opinion of Lord Sinong, when will we be able to recover the entire land of the Changsun Peninsula."

"It depends on the national situation, the casualties, the logistics, and especially the number of ships on both sides at sea. At present, the situation of the navy is still outnumbered, and the enemy navy has not been included in its land force before, so its naval strength is four or even five times that of our navy.

Although our army sank, damaged, and captured more than 500 enemy ships last year, it was not enough to change the balance of strength between the two armies in a short period of time. The impact on its maritime transport has not reached serious proportions.

At the same time, the land war on the eastern front is too long, and last year the coalition forces on the eastern front suffered more than 400,000 casualties, and our Xian army accounted for more than 167,000 people, not counting the nearly 50,000 casualties of the navy, and this year, it is closer to the enemy's base camp, and this casualty is only a lot more.

Therefore, this year's 80% record is quite good, and it is fast to regain the whole land in the year after next. And the further the war went, the more frequent the enemy's native reinforcements.

Judging from the information obtained from the seizures and interrogations so far, the armpits have imitated weapons of similar performance to our country, and if this is the case, it will be even more difficult to recover the whole land. ”

Bai Liyan's words made Jiang Yu feel disappointed, and he said:

"According to this, this Northern Expedition still cannot recover the whole land of Changsun."

"It depends on the cost, and it has to be coordinated on the Western Front. The Western Front has only fought three battles so far, barely recovering the two counties, and the battle line between the Western Front and the Eastern Front is too long, and the troops on both sides are not enough to consolidate the thousands of miles of winding and coiled front.

Therefore, this year's strategy is different from last year's, and the First Motorized Group Army led by Jiang Jie will wait for an opportunity to move on the front line and the rear, and pounce on the enemy inserted between the east and west flanks at any time.

In addition, the biggest factor restricting the success of the Northern Expedition was the logistics of our army. The northern part of Changsun is more than 6,000 miles away from our country, which is still a straight line distance, and the actual length may be longer.

Last year, in order to ensure that more than 1.2 million people of our army and the Zhi army could eat, drink, and lazar, the minister mobilized 15,000 medium-sized trucks, 80,000 four-wheeled baggage vehicles, 200,000 pack horses, 300,000 armed people, more than 12,000 large and small inland river cargo ships, more than 200 armed cargo ships, and more than 1,500 military trains.

If the army continues to increase, the country will inevitably move more capacity, which will affect the economic operation at that time. Therefore, we cannot only rely on our country to attack on the eastern front, but also on the western front, and even if it is only half of the progress on the eastern front, it can reduce the resistance of our army by 30%. ”

"So how can we solve the war once and for all, without leaving future troubles, and in favor of the widows." King Xian asked "innocently", it seemed that in his eyes, Bailiyan always had a way to bring a perfect plan.

"Your Majesty, at the moment, you can only take one step at a time, and you can't raise the strength of the whole country until you have to. If the power of the country cannot be resolved quickly, it will become a disaster for the destruction of the country, and the king is asked to be cautious. ”

"The widow understands, so that's all for today. The widow wants to know how much land our country should get from our eldest grandson after the end of this war. ”

"It depends on the extent of the benefits that the king wants, but in the opinion of the ministers, it is best to ask for only the war zone and a few inland counties that have not been affected by the war, and not all the inland counties that have not been affected by the war."

"Wouldn't that be asking for trouble? The counties affected by the war have all been eroded, and even if the widow collects seven counties and eight counties, how much effort will it take to invest how much food to restore life. ”

"Great King, now the eldest grandson has not been affected by the war, and there are only more than ten counties in the south, which is the foundation for his eldest grandson country to continue to survive.

However, the counties that were devastated by the war were sparsely populated and the local economy was ruined, and the eldest grandson was neither able to manage nor dare to relocate the population. Our country takes it, as long as it gives the eldest grandson benefits, they will still agree. After all, the farther north you go, the closer the danger becomes, and even if the eldest grandson has the heart to refuse our country's request, he will not have the military strength to defend the old land, let alone the courage. ”

More than 20 counties were affected by the war, and more than 10 counties were left unaffected by the war, all of which were inland in the hinterland of the Central Plains in the south, and half of the population who fled from the north moved into these counties.

After years of blood transfusion in the Xianguo, these more than 10 counties barely maintained the lowest financial expenditure, and once they switched to peaceful production after the war, they would soon regain their economic vitality and become the main source of economic growth for the eldest grandson.

In the more than 20 counties in the north, in addition to the few counties in the middle, there are more than 10 million people, and the rest of the counties are almost extinct, the local facilities and economic industries have been completely destroyed, and the relocated and resettled population has resumed production.

Jiang Zhen's purpose is very clear, to cut the fattest counties, but it will not solve the current political problems, but will increase more political troubles.

"Lord Si Nong does not let the widow finish the county, but wants to destroy the land, what is the reason?"

"My lord, our country's acquisition of northern and coastal counties is secondary, and the primary purpose is to establish a military buffer zone. Therefore, after the acquisition of the northern counties, it is necessary to gradually evacuate the local population to our country, but at the same time retain two to three population towns in each county to maintain the basic local finance and local construction.

At the same time, it took eight to ten years to build the railway, so that goods from the interior could be transported to the counties in a steady stream, and then transported by vehicles to the military garrisons and cities, so as to reduce the manpower requirements and reduce the financial burden.

At the same time, the land in the north is extremely fertile, and the garrison implements one season of tuntian fields every year, using the best seeds, and the basic rations for the whole year are almost free from financial burden.

Moreover, the eldest grandson has rubber, volcanoes, precious stones, rich mineral deposits, and countless underground minerals, and our country only needs to issue a special permit to let those merchants and magnates recruit hired workers from the interior to buy equipment, and drive them to develop local industries.

The imperial court then spent money on the acquisition, which could have a positive economic effect five to six years after the takeover, and although the local population was greatly reduced in the short term, as long as there was an economy, it would attract more people sooner or later.

After 10 or 20 years, the population of the interior will increase substantially, and after 40 or 50 years, they will continue to migrate northward, and these sparsely populated counties in the north will become a new economic driving force and growth hotspot in Xianguo.

In addition, in the short term, the North still faces a strong external military threat, and it is not appropriate to hoard more people in the North and develop a universal commodity economy to avoid more losses. ”

"If that's the case, how many people is Lord Si Nong going to move south."

"At present, the population of Changsun County rescued by China is about 10 million, mainly concentrated in Guangyuan and Dingzhong counties, and the matter of migrating population still needs to be consulted with Changsun, so the number of migrants cannot be determined.

However, the population of the three counties of Qingtian, Sangnan, and Sangbei is nearly 10 million, and the minister intends to start this year and move out of 500,000 per year to the counties in China, and then increase year by year until the population of the three counties drops to 5 million.

In the future, the population of the north gradually moved south, and they still moved into these three counties to settle first and then digest. In this way, the local economic industry that has been formed will not stagnate due to population fluctuations, and at the same time, the local infrastructure and industrial chain that have been built can support the southward migration population. ”

"It seems that Lord Sinong is thoughtful, but the widow sees that this strategy has been planned by Si Nong a few years ago."

"Don't hide it from the king, the minister has indeed planned a few years ago, but it still takes time to plan, there may be repeated and accidents during the period, so it is necessary to constantly correct these accidents, only in this way, in the eyes of outsiders, can we do things like a god strategizing, in fact, it is expected to be done in advance, and be cautious."

The essence of social forms of social grouping is the adjustment of the productive forces and the relations of production, and as long as there are people and a scale is formed, the basic commodity production and economic circulation must be formed.

War inevitably creates casualties, refugees and economic losses, but it also brings challenges and opportunities, and the key is to use them in a timely and appropriate manner and use them as instruments of profit.
