Chapter 317: Appear, Anxi Four Towns—1
The mobilization for the war went very smoothly, and a large number of soldiers joined the army of the Liangzhou system. Among them, there are not only Liangzhou warriors living in this land, but also people with lofty ideals from other places who have joined the army, after all, regaining control of the Western Regions is the common dream of many Han people, and Suning is the first Liangzhou pastor who has been interested in this for decades!
But when they assembled in the direction of Dunhuang County, another group of people were being urgently sent from the Western Regions to the hinterland of Liangzhou, they were captured in the war of the previous year, before that, due to the food crisis, they were left in the Xinrui area to avoid the expansion of food pressure on the core area, and now, a new war is about to begin, if they continue to stay in the Western Regions, it is likely to affect the rear, which will greatly affect the war on the front, So they must be sent back to the hinterland of Liangzhou, and Suning also wants them to play some other roles!
Since taking 1/3 of the northwest region, the population density of the Liangzhou system, which is not high, has dropped to a new location, which makes Suning a little anxious, after all, the decline in population density means that his ability to control many regions will decline, not only because there are fewer people and more land, most of the agricultural production can be carried out relatively freely, so that farmers in remote places will not take the managers seriously at all, and more importantly, such a large piece of land is only in the needs of national defense, It is necessary to ensure a sufficient number of people.
This is Suning's crazy action, he is ready to learn from Australia and give enough rewards to every family with a newborn baby!
The relevant standards were quickly studied, and for every boy born, the Liangzhou system, and the newly established global group, would jointly give her a reward of 8,000 yuan, and if a more scarce girl was born, then he would receive a reward of 10,000 yuan.
Although this is not a large amount, and it will not allow anyone to realize their dream of becoming rich overnight, but at the moment when this reward system was introduced, it still shocked the more conservative Eastern Han people, who never imagined that in order to encourage the population to give birth, the yamen could launch such a strategy.
As a result, not long after this policy was implemented, the sound of gongs and drums for weddings began to be beaten continuously in Hanyang County and surrounding counties. Even old husbands and wives who have been married for many years are ready to try to contribute to the future of Liangzhou.
Suning is even more ready to lead by example, he hasn't made too much effort in this regard since Sister Na, after all, in the previous stage, everyone lived in that oppressive atmosphere. For him, Sun Yulan is a good spice, but it is also easy for him to lose his inherent calmness and composure, which is not a very good choice for him, so he also chooses restraint very modestly.
However, the upcoming war seems to give the whole Liangzhou a new vitality, which seems to be the inherent rhythm of survival in this land, if there is no sound of gold and iron fighting, it is not enough to awaken the vitality here, and the glorious group may be born in such a regional cultural atmosphere. However, Song Ningke didn't have the leisure time to think about the reasons for the formation of military aristocrats hundreds of years later, because they had no chance of qualifying in the timeline they were in.
Soon after the vanguard was launched, Suning led his idea and began to move towards the Western Regions, and after passing through Jiuquan County in Dunhuang County, they came to Attila's station. The Whip of God has done a lot of preparation for the coming war, including but not limited to the logistical supply of food and meat, and the training of most cavalry, two tasks that many generals cannot do at the same time, but in the past year. Attila, who went out to live in the paradise, led his men to complete this seemingly impossible task in an orderly manner.
It's a pity that his hard work was not rewarded by Suning, because Suning knew too much about the basic abilities of this Hun king. If he wanted to complete this tactical preparation, he only needed to let go of his reins and let him plunder around the grassland, and sure enough, he saw a lot of Xianbei people in the cavalry formed by Attila, these are the captives he plundered on the Xianbei grassland last year, the Huns don't mind using prisoners, they even believe that these people will have the same loyalty to themselves, because this is the rule of the grassland.
But Suning couldn't do that kind of trust, he obviously didn't plan to place his main forces here, they still went to the predetermined base camp of this military operation according to the original plan, that is, the high results of surrendering without a fight, and his vanguard troops would be concentrated near Loulan Kingdom.
After the completion of military concentration, the army of the Northwest Recruitment Division will not directly attack the end of the country, although in the previous months, this small country has repeatedly challenged the Liangzhou system, Bai Suning still has the hope of peace talks, he does not want to carry out large-scale killing operations in the Western Regions.
Therefore, he entrusted the minister of the Gochang Kingdom to send an invitation to the king of the last kingdom to negotiate peace.
However, the other party's reply was a surprise attack on Loulan State, fortunately, the generals of the Northwest Recruitment Division were relatively well prepared, so they did not let the other party succeed, but this vicious battle also showed the military strength of the alliance of more than 30 countries in the Western Regions. According to the news from the front, Zhang Qi paid more than 1,000 casualties in this battle, which was the most tragic loss since the military operation against the Western Regions was launched.
Although the enemy's casualty figure is even higher than this, after all, Zhang Qi's weapons and equipment are far more advanced than the other party's, however, this sudden attack seems to have made Sister Zhang lose the courage to fight, and he began to build fortresses frantically near the vast Loulan Kingdom, as if he wanted this classic method to consolidate his control over this area.
"It's too slow!" After learning of his approach, Suning couldn't help but sigh like this, but his words were misunderstood by several beauties around him, only to see a fair-skinned Gaochang female slave girl quickly dial a grape and stuff it into his mouth.
Suning was a little caught off guard, just as he showed when he received these superb beauties. They are the products of Zhang Kai's operation in the northwest region for more than half a year, but at present, these products can only allow Suning to participate in the strategic deployment of increasing the population by example, and they are not of much help to the current expansion of the Western Regions.
