537 Western Regions Planning
"This person, you know, is the one you recommended, and he reported that he wanted me to cut interest rates." Yingyu said.
"Is it Xiao He?" Shangwen asked.
Yingyu nodded.
"Now I'll take care of everything on the bank's side. I'm relaxed now. Yingyu said with a smile.
"Yes. It seems that you know a lot about management. Shang Wen said.
"You don't look at who I am." Yingyu glanced at Shang Wen.
Then the two went out for a walk together. Recently, the two discovered a new project, which is to ride a bicycle around the new city of Qin. Or just ride around.
And in the distant Western Regions, Qin's sphere of influence stayed at the gate of the Western Regions. But some people who dare not be lonely always infiltrate the Western Regions to carry out some harassment. With the onset of winter. Winters here are unusually cold. The cold had to make people stop all outdoor activities. People huddled in the fortress and gathered around the fire to keep warm.
These harassments of the Qin State made these small countries in the Western Regions very distressed. Because, they are as difficult to deal with as the Yue clan and Wusun. And even more powerful than these, these small countries in the Western Regions have established their own small city-states, and they are simply unable to resist such large-scale harassment by the Qin State. Especially summer harassment. has seriously affected their food production, and livestock production. Even more serious is the population. A small city-state with a small population. This is undoubtedly a slow tightening of their necks for them, and finally stuck.
As a result, the lords of some small city-states began to run around, and they decided to unite and organize a large coalition against this new adversary. The winter fighting was fought by neither side. Therefore, the winter truce became a default truce. But this truce does not mean that they have nothing to do.
Pairs of liaison soldiers galloped from city to city-state, and they communicated their king's intentions to the king of another city-state. Eventually, several kings gathered together and settled down to take military action against the arriving great power when the weather warmed up.
So, throughout the winter, they began to get busy. They went around collecting food, livestock, horses. This was followed by a massive forging of weapons. They are actively preparing for the war.
And the other side. The state of Qin was not willing to lag behind. The construction of the western railway of Qin State has passed from Xianyang in Qin State to Longxi. Then arrive at the Yellow River and Mengzhou. The Hexi Corridor was connected. The Qin State built three railways in such a short period of time. This has to be said to be a miracle, but behind the miracle is the mass death of a large number of prisoners of war. No one can know how many prisoners of war died on the three railways. But there is an example of how many people died.
When the Qin State ended its war against the moon, there were a total of 320,000 slaves of all kinds, 120,000 were sold, and 200,000 were sold. The 200,000 slaves were used for the construction of the railroad and another 20,000 gold. When the construction of this railway is completed. The 200,000 slaves were less than 10,000. There are also Qiang people who are constantly replenished along the way. It can be said that the reason why the Qin State was able to build this railway in a short period of time. It took the blood of countless people to cultivate. But no one cares about this. People are concerned about their ability to transport.
The news of gold in the Western Regions was known to the major armed companies. They decided to use force. But the supplies are huge. So, they took the initiative to recommend Yingyu's Wenyang Company.
More than 90% of the gold mining rights are owned by Yingyu. This is what they all draw. Jade mining accounts for 80%. The spoils of war are privately owned. But Yingyu needs to complete the preparation of a large number of military supplies. It's nothing to her.
The transport capacity of trains has increased considerably. In order to increase the transport capacity. The west did not transport people, but all supplies. Three trains during the day. Two trains transport in the evening. Each train is towed at maximum capacity by towing ten carriages at full capacity. Soon, a large amount of military supplies were hoarded at the entrance to the Hexi Corridor. These military supplies were enough to wage a war on a larger scale.
By the time the bitter cold arrives in October. The stockpiling of military materiel is still not over. And there is more and more hoarding of supplies. Mainly, from the Hexi Corridor to the Western Regions Pass. It relied on horse-drawn carriage transportation, and the cold came early. It was inconvenient to transport. The arrival of these supplies to the front line was greatly delayed. Even so. Preparations are still ahead. Even if military supplies are difficult to arrive. But the whole winter lasts for four or five months. In this way, the factory has enough time to slowly stock up on supplies.
Not only the materials, but also the personnel began to be actively accurate. In order to fight such a big war. Yingyu began to draw troops from some places, and took the initiative to train some people to participate in the attack on the Western Regions.
Liu Ji, Fan Xu and a group of their brothers waited in the Qin State for half a year with nothing to do. In the past six months, eat and drink well. Occasionally, a little favor goes out to fight the nomadic tribes, but there is no big fight. After going out and coming back, it was horseback riding and shooting. Not interesting at all.
The winter is also basically spent near Xianyang. And they won't let them go home. Although Fan Xu has wine to drink. But I also find it boring. I can't make it out. Liu Ji didn't have anything at first. How good is that. There is wine, there is meat. There are also tall women with Hu people.
But gradually I got used to it. Liu Ji has a way. According to one of the people above. They will be sent to the Western Regions. Wait until January to start walking. By the time it came, it was almost the beginning of March. After a little rest, we will fight the Western Regions. There was gold everywhere, and the women grew tall. Moreover, those countries are easy to fight. Just in case, the Qin State gathered more than 10,000 people on this side and rushed to that side.
Liu Ji, who learned such news, was even less anxious. He whispered the news to his brothers. As soon as the news came out. The restlessness vanished. Fan Xu drank even more happily. When it was time for the war, he was not allowed to drink. Qin is strictly in charge. Only when you are in the rear, no one cares about you, and there is enough wine. Enough meat tubes.
Not only personnel, Yingyu also hired Li Xin as a military commander to attack the Western Regions. He commanded the attack of more than 10,000 people. At that time, the Qin army will mobilize more than 2,000 cavalry to participate in the attack. Help it take down the entire Western Regions. Both southern and northern Xinjiang are within this range.
Both of them are nervously preparing. A big war is inevitable in the future. And this war of the Qin State will be controlled by private individuals, and the main body involved will not be the state army, but the private armed forces. And the purpose is very strong, that is, to occupy the local area. And plundered the rich local gold and jade resources.
