Chapter 327: Post-War Reflections

In particular, those mountain passes that are usually undefended, as well as the mountain roads opened by the villagers in the mountains themselves, as long as they connect to the direction of Dayinyongguo, may be used by the enemy to infiltrate and sneak attack. Now, these places must be completely sealed off and obstacles sufficient to prevent the rapid passage of the enemy.

After arranging all this, Li Yi personally led people to inspect various places, until it was determined that the arming work had been carried out in an orderly manner, and after being busy all day, Li Yi completely relieved his heart, and instructed Yin Quan and Wei Jing before returning to Ningzhou by night.

In the next few days, the main work was to clear the devastation of the war and restore social order in Ningzhou. Because the Ningzhou War was mainly carried out outside the city, the impact on the city of Ningzhou was very limited, although the people were frightened by this, but all aspects did not suffer much loss, the production and life in the city of Ningzhou soon operated normally, and Ningzhou returned to the previous peaceful life.

Zhuang Qian, they and those children have all returned to Zhongling Mountain, and the troops who came to support the various customs defenses have also returned one after another, and the whole situation has returned to the state before the war.

The battle of Ningzhou in Yunnan can be said to be a complete victory, originally did everything possible to plan to take advantage of the chaos to seize Ningzhou's Dayi Ningguo, this time stealing chickens and rice, not only killed more than 1,000 people, lost the general of Mushuang Zhao Shuo, but also captured more than 2,000 people, it can be said that there is no return.

According to detailed statistics, although Yunnan has been in a situation of being passively beaten, its personnel losses are much less than that of Dayining.

More than 680 people were killed and more than 1,700 were wounded.

Li Yi instructed Lin Yi that in order to heal the wounds of the war as soon as possible and restore the economic order of social life, the families of the deceased and wounded soldiers should be compensated as soon as possible, and pensions should be paid preferentially.

According to the previously agreed standards, each fallen soldier will be given a one-time pension of 300 yuan to his family, 30 acres of land exempt from taxation for five years, a certain amount of condolence money for each year for the next five years, and exemption from forced labor for adult men in his family.

Each injured soldier will also receive a one-time pension of 100 yuan. Although such a relatively generous pension is a great pressure on Yunnan's finances, no matter how difficult it is, it cannot chill the hearts of the soldiers, and this amount of money is still insignificant to the soldiers who have lost their lives and are injured and disabled.

For the captured officers and soldiers of the Dayining State, Yunnan has no extra money to support them, and will never return them to the Dayining State. Now the whole of Yunnan is full of major road repairs and large-scale mining, and manpower is very tight.

I didn't expect to capture more than 2,000 enemies at once, which is equivalent to Dayi Ningguo sending us free coolies, hehe! Sending all these people into the road construction and mining team not only greatly saves costs, but also significantly increases the speed of road construction and mining through the increase in manpower.

At this time, the scout team sent back the latest news, tens of thousands of troops on the Tonghai side, after lining up the formation of a large-scale attack, but never launched any decent offensive, but after the army of Dayi Ningguo attacked Yunnan returned to the division, the army withdrew to the line of Fuxian Lake, which was equivalent to returning to their original station.

Hearing this, Li Yi immediately understood the key. Depend on! People pass through the sea Duan Siping, this is a feint attack like a fake! But such a good opportunity to take advantage of the void was given up in vain, this is not a feint and what it is.

It's just that after calculating it, the current military strength of the Dayi Ning Kingdom is still more than twice that of Tonghai, even if Tonghai does its best to launch an attack on Shanxian Mansion, I am afraid that there is not much chance of victory, and it is reasonable to retreat after making an offensive posture.

However, the feint attack of the Tonghai Xingshi mobilized the masses undoubtedly alleviated Yunnan's predicament. Is Duan Siping's big stroke purely to relieve the siege of Yunnan? Although there were still some people who didn't understand, Li Yi quickly understood Duan Siping's good intentions.

Although he and he Duan Siping are not related to each other, and have they given any benefits to others, once Yunnan falls into the hands of Dayi Ningguo, the situation in Tonghai will be even more tense. With his own strength to fight against the more powerful Dayi Ning Kingdom, Tonghai will have no power to fight back.

Therefore, Duan Siping, who understands the truth of the cold of his lips and teeth, still understands very well that he has saved Yunnan, that is, for himself. There will be no pie in the sky, who will help you for no reason!

However, after careful analysis by Li Yi and Lin Yi, we have to admit that this feint attack on Tonghai helped us a lot, which not only directly led to the withdrawal of the Great Yi Ning State but also reduced the pressure on Yunnan. And the more likely reason is that the sea side is doing this for its own benefit.

If Yunnan is so easily obtained by the Dayi Ning State, the Tonghai side will undoubtedly fall into the situation of being attacked on three sides, and its survival situation will be greatly threatened.

Therefore, after receiving the report of the attack on Yunnan by Dayi Ningguo, they immediately made the decision to feint to attack Shanxian Mansion and contain the main force of the other party, until Dayi Ningguo was forced to withdraw its troops and return to defense, and the situation in Yunnan returned to normal, and then slowly withdrew to the station, which made Dayi Ningguo at a loss for a while, and also made the three forces return to a relatively balanced situation.

This fully reflects Duan Siping's far-sighted strategic thinking and ingenious intentions, which makes people can't help but admire.

Although Dayi Ningguo has temporarily given up the attack on Yunnan, there can be no relaxation in defense. Moreover, Lin Qingliang's firearms that retreated from the enemy and won the victory touched Li Yi a lot, which made him come up with the idea of developing firearms quickly and deeply.

However, in this era when the concept of cold weapons is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, there are very few talents in this field, and if we want to popularize the use of firearms and carry out the research and development of firearms in depth, it is really not very reliable to rely on the strength of myself and Lin Qingliang. It's an eventful time now, and he doesn't have so much energy, and Lin Qingliang is probably exhausted.

The most important thing now is to vigorously train firearms research and development personnel, and at least there must be a few backbone talents who are familiar with the firearms production process, can be proficient in gunpowder preparation, and can extend the development, so that they can liberate themselves and Lin Qingliang to do more important things.
