Chapter 204: Our Goal (3)
"Hmm. Very well, that's 40,000 people. Next, the Great Sima Mansion issued a proclamation, with the four counties of Shu County, Ba County, Pasi County, and Guanghan County as the core, and conscripted 20,000 soldiers according to the principle of drawing one out of three. Hey, what are you all looking at me for? What kind of eyes is this? ”
"Hey, hey, hey." Everyone smiled awkwardly, and finally Zhuge Jing got up and said, "Da Sima, my subordinates were frightened when they heard that you were going to expand your army by 60,000. But later, when I heard your arrangement, the first 40,000 people basically had no impact on my Han people's livelihood. I thought that the next 20,000 people would not need to be requisitioned from the Han people in the mainland. ”
I'm K, what are you all thinking? Now that the population on the government's civil register has increased by more than 400,000, I have already been very restrained in recruiting 20,000 soldiers from it, okay? Besides, there are more alien armies, okay? When the time comes, the armed forces of our nation will be missing, and these alien armies will be counterattacked! Forget it, there are people of other nationalities in this meeting, so don't say these words - in short, long live the great national unity!
"Third uncle, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Hehehe, okay. After staying in Chengdu for a long time, the bones of the whole body are almost crispy. After habitually not paying attention to a sentence, Guan Suo seriously offered his fist and received the order: "Please rest assured, the new Yulin Legion in a year will never be like two years ago." ”
"Of course, with the third uncle handling this matter, I am very confident. Well, virtuous nephew, you can follow my third uncle to Yulin for training. Do it well, don't fall into the prestige of your father's first general! ”
"Please rest assured, Uncle Jiang Suding will study hard in Yulin, and he will do his best for the revival of the Han Dynasty in the future!"
"It's not a nephew. Third uncle, this, and this one, are all handed over to you. ”
The other two mentioned by Guan Yi are Zhang Yi's son Zhang Wei and Luo Xian's son Luo Xi. Putting the sons of the two leaders of the Yizhou faction into the Yulin Legion, which is now firmly controlled by the Fuxing Department, is both a woo and a hostage. This is what must be done in the political struggle.
"Thank you Da Sima for letting me wait for the officer, please rest assured, I will study hard in the Yulin Army, and I will be willing to be a pioneer when Da Sima goes on the Northern Expedition in the future!"
"Hehehehehe, okay. I'm looking forward to the performance of the two major generals at that time. Okay, that's it for the time being, and the fifth thing is to build roads. ”
Shu Road is difficult, it is not good to rectify the traffic, and it is useless how much grain and grass Guan Yi reserves.
"The first phase of the experiment of erecting a zipline transport between the two mountains has been completed. This year, three ropeways have been erected in Zitong County, and the use effect is very good. I mean, where there are mountains in the mountains, you have to set up a zipline as much as possible. At the same time, the plank road is reinforced. In the future, people and horses will walk from the plank road, and food, weapons, armor and other things will go from the air. In this way, food consumption can be reduced by at least half! ”
"It's a huge project. In view of the fact that the country's grain reserves have begun to take shape in the past two years, Dasi Nong, after the export of Shujin in the future, does not need to buy grain from Dongwu. We now have more food and less cash. This structure needs to be adjusted slightly. ”
"Yes."
"Well, the matter of erecting flying cables and reinforcing plank roads across the country is the responsibility of Shulong {Li Xiang}. Officials in all localities should actively cooperate. If you dare to neglect your duties and cause the progress of the project to be delayed, you know what to do, right? ”
"Da Sima, please rest assured, we will definitely handle this matter well."
"Good!" After clapping his hands and boosting everyone's attention again, Guan Yi stood up: "Everyone, next year, Yanxing will be four years." It will be a crucial year that will determine the success of our future Northern Expedition. So everyone's burden is heavy. Lately, I've heard some different opinions. Some people say that the Jin Kingdom has just completed the Chan Dynasty and urgently needs to stabilize the domestic situation, so it will not come to attack our Han in the short term, so we might as well take advantage of this time to recuperate. Some people say that since the puppet Wei no longer exists, then our Northern Expedition has no name of crusading against usurpation. And after the new monarch on the Dongwu side took the throne, it caused turmoil in the government and the opposition, why don't we go down the river and take back Jingzhou...... These ideas all make sense. However, this official does not adopt! ”
Taking a deep breath and looking at the people below with complicated eyes, Guan Yi said earnestly: "Everyone, my Han is now in a corner of Yizhou, but in fact, he has not been able to solve the existential crisis. Compared with the two countries of Jin and Wu, China has a small population, less land, many mountains, and high governance costs. The potential for national development is far less than that of Jin Wu. If the three kingdoms rest for a long time, the final result will inevitably be that our Han will perish first. So, if we want to survive in this world, we have to fight out! ”
"So, since you want to fight out, why can't you fight Jingzhou first? Compared to the Jin Kingdom, Eastern Wu is much weaker, isn't it? However, let's not talk about the question of how many troops our country can draw up to attack Wu while maintaining sufficient troops on the northern front. Even if we defeat Jingzhou, can we hold it? It is the land of four wars, and until our national strength is strong enough, we will not be able to maintain two but three fronts at the same time!
But unfortunately, once we take Jingzhou in Eastern Wu, in Jingzhou, we will be attacked from both sides by the Jin and Wu states. Hanzhong also had to face tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the Yongliang Theater of the Jin Kingdom. Moreover, the loss of Jingzhou in Soochow will inevitably take strong revenge on our country and try its best to cause trouble for us in Nanzhong. At that time, we will take care of one or the other, and if we are not careful, we will collapse completely! ”
"So, to survive, you have to fight out. And to fight out, the only direction can only be Yongliang! Guan Yi hopes that everyone will remember this well. I have a revival society, and there can be multiple voices. However, there can only be one goal! Within three or five years, this goal can only be Yongliang! ”
When it came to this, everyone below stood up: "Brother {Da Sima} is far-sighted, I will wait for my respect." Don't you dare to do your best for the Northern Expedition! ”
Hey, how many of these people are really saying this. That's it, everyone here is a hero, they all have their own independent thoughts, and they also have their own vital interests to consider. I was shocked, and everyone was convinced of their complete allegiance? It's a magic movie, not a historical drama.
The meeting was dismissed, and Guan Yi left Sun Gang, Chen Can, and Luo Xi behind.
"I'll go to the East Palace to report to the crown prince about today's meeting. Time is tight, let's make a long story short. Boyu, what do you mean by stepping over there? ”
Speaking of which, Buqi's two sons, the eldest son, Buxie, was already hanging up at this time. The second son, Bu Xianbu, was indeed like the historical standard, and successfully obtained the position of Xiling Governor by bribing Pu Yangxing.
Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived. After Sun Hao came to power, he did not have the gentleness of his previous two uncles at all, and directly wiped out the three clans of Puyang and Xing with a storm. And it began to retaliate against the forces of the Lu Wang Party in the past.
Although Sun Hao and Zhong Hui used the name of checking household taxes. But this kind of thing, which politician still can't see clearly? If you want to check the household tax, why don't you check the Zhang family, the Lu family, and the Lu family, you have to start with the whole family, the Wu family {Wu Jing}, and the Lu family {Lu Dai}. Who doesn't know what you want to do?
The backers in the court fell, and the son of the deposed crown prince Sun He ascended to the throne. And this emperor obviously does not have the mind to accept all rivers, but seems to be eager to repay. It's only been less than two years since he took the throne, and he couldn't wait to attack the Lu Wangdang - filial son, your mood to avenge your father is too urgent.
{Sun Hao: If you come to live the life of life and death when I was a child, you can know my mood. }
On the basis of history, when Sun Hao ascended the throne, Shu Han had already perished. So at that time, Bu Yan had no choice but to take refuge in the Jin Kingdom. But this time is different, Shu Han is still there, and Shu Han's family is still a good brother who doesn't fight and doesn't know each other!
"Brother, what Bu Zhongsi means is that if Emperor Wu persecuts their Bu family like this again, he is ready to dedicate Xiling to our Han Dynasty. But here's the problem, between my Han's Badong County and his Bu's Xiling, there is also a Jianping County. ”
"Regardless of this, if we take Xiling at this time, it will inevitably lead to a full-scale war with Soochow. The new emperor over there is a madman, and no one can stop him from initiating madness. ”
"The younger brother thinks so too. So the younger brother's reply to Bu Zhongsi was to ask him to arrange for one of his sons to come to my Dahan as a backup. ”
"Hehehe, what did Bu Zhongsi say?"
He said, if my man doesn't have the courage to accept him. He had no choice but to surrender to the Jin Kingdom. ”
"Well, hum, with Lu Youjie here, he may not be able to surrender smoothly. Dinglie, how is your big ship in Ba County? ”
"Back to my brother's words, Ba County has built thirty new ships and one hundred ships. All according to your design, with a lever and a winch trebuchet. With these things, the younger brother has the confidence to fight with the naval army of Eastern Wu. ”
"Hey, it's a pity that Kong Shuo was left in Yongchang County by me." After deeply feeling the regret that there were no outstanding naval generals on his side, Guan Yi said to Luo Xi: "Zicheng, what did your father say?" ”
"Da Sima, my father said, on the side of the Three Gorges, the water is turbulent in summer, and when you pass through Kuimen, the big boat will be hit by the current and cannot be controlled, if you are unlucky, you will hit the reef in the heart of the river, and you are destined to be destroyed and killed. Moreover, even if you are lucky enough to rush out, it will be troublesome to come back: the water is still too fast, and without a large number of slender men pulling, the big ship will not be able to swim against the current at all. Therefore, if Da Sima wants to pick up the Bu family, he can only choose to send troops during the dry season in winter. ”
This one? How do I know when Sun Hao will do it? Hey, Second Master Bu, you ask for more blessings. If your emperor is doing it to you in the summer, I can't save you even if I want to.
