Chapter 681

In the land of the three states, one-third is mountainous, and one-third needs to be left for grazing, and the remaining is almost four million acres, just for sale, even if it is a border town, no matter how cheap the price is, it will take at least two to three runs, right?

However, although the second strategy will attract a large number of wealthy families to purchase land here, the effect is far worse than that of the court issuing an order to appoint soldiers to settle in the local area and serve the people on the spot.

But the second option, which should be easier to pass, is not without a third strategy. Shaanxi Road was originally an important place in the northwest border of the Great Song Dynasty, so not only were there many border troops, but also the number of box soldiers was definitely not a few.

Shaanxi Road alone, there are nearly 30,000 soldiers, and these 30,000 soldiers, if all of them are settled in the three states, dragging their families with their mouths, it is at least equivalent to a population of 150,000, if you add the tenants and tenants recruited by the rich merchants who bought land, then the proportion of the people of the Great Song Dynasty will inevitably far exceed the current aborigines and soldiers.

"Your kid is really powerful enough, and he can even make you think of a method, but whether the court can agree to it, it's hard to say." After listening to this, Su Dongpo also had to admire Wang Yang's brain.

Wang Yang's strategy to increase the population of the three states is extremely good, and he also listens to it with great joy, but the problem is that the success rate of the court is not too high.

"Whether it can be passed or not, that is a matter for the court, and I will write clearly in the twists and turns that if there are no people to defend the three states, then the three states that have just returned to my Great Song Dynasty will easily be recaptured by the Western Xia again. I believe that Your Majesty and the ministers of the DPRK and China should weigh one or two carefully. ”

Su Dongpo thought about it. "That's right, the old man will play with you, by the way, it's best to send someone to find Han Xianggong, and a few of us will play together, and the effect will definitely be better." By the way, there is also Master Zhang Qizhang, he just hasn't left yet, so hurry up and let him join the name. ”

Seeing Su Dongpo so enthusiastic to help and give advice, Wang Yang was very moved, although this old driver is usually too illustrated, but he is still very righteous.

Youzhou is the most northern, although the city fortress is very strong, but because its geographical location is too far north, the north is the Gobi and the other three sides are plains, the terrain is gentle, more vulnerable to attack.

Hongzhou is the most southern, but because it is too southern, it is not easy to control the overall situation. Yanzhou is more dangerous, closest to Xingqingfu, the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom, and is the only salt-producing area in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty.

The economy of Yanzhou is the most developed, and the population within Yanzhou is also the largest, and the local economic environment has not been greatly damaged, not to mention that there are more than a dozen salt lakes here.

In addition, there is only one road to the south of Yanzhou to reach Qinhukou, and there are three forks to the south of Qinhukou, one can go straight to the Dingbian Army, and the other two need to pass through Qinggang Gorge or Shrimp Toad Village to enter the territory of Huanzhou.

And now, Qinggangxia and Shrimp Toad Village have also been taken by the Great Song Dynasty, opening up the traffic between Huanzhou and Yanzhou. If the Western Xia army came, it could only continue to move south if it attacked from the north and south, and it had to capture Yanzhou.

Or, you can only go south along the Baimachuan River from the Qingyuan Military City of the Jingsai Military Division and go straight to Huanzhou. Of course, with the strength of Western Xia now, where can I dare to easily wave my army to the south, and be able to guard the defense line, and not let the Song army, which is in full swing, take advantage of the situation to take the Jingsai Military Division, it is time to recite Amitabha.

Therefore, the opinion of the court was to make Yanzhou, the most powerful city, the most populous, and the most concentrated of wealth, the salt-producing area, the rule of the three states.

Although nominally Wang Yang got a ten-year marriage leave because of the joy of his newlyweds, he has worked hard these days. Before the joint performance was passed on, Wang Yang also gave the Son of Heaven another secret fold.

Naturally, I will first give this young son of heaven a good analysis of the pros and cons of settling in Sanzhou, and give Zhao Xu more time to think about it.

And Zhi Keshi also left Huanzhou on the third day after Wang Yang's marriage, but during this period, Zhi Keshi also communicated with Wang Yang about the government and military affairs of the three states.

After listening to Zhi Keshi's words about His Majesty's holy decree on the disposal of the Western Xia soldiers, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that the Son of Heaven still trusts himself as much as before.

At the moment when the Great Song Dynasty was crying for the government and military affairs of the three states, the entire Western Xia was a little gloomy.

Even, the gloomy young lord Li Qianshun finally couldn't break his prestige, and rarely became angry in the court.

I never thought that Sa Chen, who was originally pinned on his own hope, was unable to successfully attack Hongzhou. On the contrary, it also allowed the Song State to take advantage of the loophole, successfully attacked Yanzhou at night, and won the most important source of finance and taxation in Western Xia: Yanzhou.

However, after Sa Chen and others failed to capture Hongzhou, and Yanzhou was captured by the Song army, they had no choice but to go to the ancient city of Wuyan.

The result? Shengsheng suffered another heavy blow, and the 50,000 troops, except for the 20,000 garrisons, which could be regarded as almost intact, retreated, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were either dead or surrendered.

By the way, the garrison does not seem to have retreated, and it seems that more than 1,000 people were captured by the Song State, and in addition, all the war horses of this army fell into the hands of the Song State.

Thinking of this, Li Qianshun felt like a young man who was slapped, slapped and slapped by the big man in the Great Song Dynasty, slapped him one after another, and his cheeks were swollen and painful.

You're about to burst into tears, right? The dignified Western Xia country, with hundreds of thousands of divisions, seems to have completely become an excellent transport brigade in less than half a year.

almost gave up 150,000 or 60,000 war horses, more than 80,000 cattle, and more than 150,000 sheep to the Song State, and lost thousands of miles of land in Sanzhou, and if you count the soldiers.

Western Xia had already lost nearly 200,000 troops in less than half a year. The number of soldiers of the whole country in Western Xia was only 500,000.

Now two-fifths of it has been folded in the hands of the Song State, and the cavalry losses of Western Xia have reached more than half of it.

"Sachen, I really believe you wrong!" Li Qianshun slowly withdrew the hand that had pushed the desk so that it almost fell to the floor, and his mouth kept twitching.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to quench your anger, the most important thing now is not to investigate the mistakes of the generals, but to think about how to protect the land of Xiayin Prefecture." Renda Zongbao hurriedly bowed down and persuaded.

"yes, how do you keep it?" Li Qianshun's face was defeated, and his smile looked a little nervous, Hong Dezhai, Western Xia was defeated, and then, Liang Yiwei led the Han army to mutiny and sacrificed the entire Jianing Military Division.

Sachen and Fei Ting Darong, who were entrusted with the important task by themselves, led the army and left, but in the end, it was a failure. It can be said that a series of failures have made Li Qianshun's eyes gloomy.

It even gave him a feeling of being loveless. So much so that after receiving this emergency military information last night, I didn't close my eyes all night.
