Chapter 619: Nanyang's Difficulty
Nanyang was an important iron-smelting industrial base in the Wei State, and the developed iron-smelting industry reduced the dependence of the local people on food.
Because the locally produced iron tools were also equivalent to a kind of hard currency during this period, which could be exchanged for large quantities of grain in other places where iron tools were needed.
Therefore, in Nanyang, the economic lifeline of many families is not food, but mines that can produce high-quality mineral resources.
The previous policy of using large quantities of grain to absorb the population of the Huaxia Kingdom did not have much effect in this special place where craftsmen were dominant.
The information collected through the task platform has actually been placed on the network platform of the Ministry of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration of Huaxia State, and as long as it is an official member of Huaxia, it can be easily accessed after logging in through real-name authentication.
This kind of information sharing allows Qianjiang to carry out targeted work according to the actual situation.
For an iron-smelting industrial base, there is naturally no shortage of all kinds of weapons in the hands of those great families.
There is no shortage of weapons or food, which is also an important source of confidence for those families who dare to confront the Huaxia Kingdom.
In the past, Huaxia had always pursued a policy of joining Huaxia on a voluntary basis, so except for those armed forces that entered the control of Huaxia, there were very few cases of the use of force in other spheres of influence outside the control area.
The Self-Defense Forces have well implemented the concept that Huaxia only uses the minimum right of self-defense, and will not take the initiative to provoke trouble.
Moreover, the main area of activity of the Huaxia Self-Defense Forces is limited to within 30 kilometers on both sides of the straight road, and it is rare to take the initiative to break through this distance.
According to those who have seen the operations of the Chinese Self-Defense Forces, although the armed forces of the Chinese Self-Defense Forces are strong, they rely heavily on logistical support.
The strongholds they built on the straights were not far from each other.
According to the analysis, it may be that the control area of each base is limited, and it is not possible to stay away from the straight road activities where logistics can be obtained.
In the past, those caravans from Huaxia did not bring anything that could shake their dominance in Nanyang, except for grain and snow salt.
Moreover, when entering and leaving Nanyang City, you still need to pay various taxes and fees in accordance with the rules of Nanyang City, and abide by the original trade order of Nanyang City, and there is no such style of superiority everywhere.
This has created a false impression for those big families: the current force of the Huaxia Kingdom can only protect itself, and it does not have the ability to use force against the outside world for the time being.
The arrival of Qianjiang's armed task force also brought some strange things, although it surprised those big families in Nanyang City.
But they believe that this team, which is only more than 50 people, will not be able to make any waves in a city with a population of tens of thousands.
However, Qianjiang's team of more than 50 people did not enter the city directly as before, but settled down in the suburbs not far from the city gate.
This made the clans in Nanyang City feel extremely puzzled, and they didn't know what this "caravan" of the Huaxia Kingdom wanted to do.
After arranging the place where they were stationed using containers, they held a mission workshop to determine the content and focus of the next work.
"Our task force was originally tasked with recruiting school-age children and young women for Huaxia in order to increase the country's population base.
At that time, Nanyang Castle was the closest city near the Naomichi, so it was also a kind of temptation for us to take this place as our first work goal.
We need to know how long we will be able to get the support of the armed forces under the control of the Huaxia State when we are away on a mission, so that we can determine how large the scope of our activities can be in the future. ”
"If it's just the task of recruiting people, we won't have much pressure, because we're just dealing with ordinary people.
It's all voluntary, as long as we do our best.
However, when the Ministry of State-owned Assets Management knew that we had chosen Nanyang City, it also added a work content, that is, we wanted to weaken the influence of the Nanyang City family.
In this way, the difficulty of our work will be greatly increased. ”
"Yes, those great families have been deeply rooted here for hundreds of years, and it is indeed very difficult to shake their influence.
The main thing is that those great families actually have their own private armies.
These private armed forces have long been integrated with their families, and it is a relationship of both prosperity and loss, which is not easy to deal with. ”
"This is also the significance of the Ministry of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration of the People's Republic of China (SASAC) to appoint 10 members of the China Self-Defense Force to our task force.
What we need to know now is, how armed are these members of the Chinese Self-Defense Forces in our task force?
What scale of private armed forces can it withstand?
Will it be able to withstand the counterattack of those big families?
And how long will they be able to hold out when those big families organize a large-scale counterattack? ”
"Yes, these factors determine how much work we can do in Nanyang City.
If we can only withstand the impact of an armed force of less than 100 people, we can only work one family at a time, and even only against those relatively weak families.
If they can withstand thousands of armed forces at the same time under the cover of containers, we can completely free up our hands and feet to carry out operations in Nanyang City. ”
After understanding the significance of the members of the Huaxia Self-Defense Force to the task force, everyone looked at the leaders of these Huaxia members.
The leader of this group is named Zhang Ji, who joined Huaxia in the second year of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Because Zhang Ji worked hard in training, he was able to accept the Chinese state's governing philosophy and new methods of warfare well, so he was valued by Xu Huang and became the first member of the Huaxia Self-Defense Force.
When the Chinese Self-Defense Force was expanding, Zhang Ji became a small group leader of the Chinese Self-Defense Force through the assessment and competition of the Chinese members.
Seeing everyone's inquiring eyes, Zhang Ji said: "If all the members of the task force are concentrated in the garrison area, the people of our group can completely withstand the charge of thousands of ordinary soldiers.
However, if the Task Force were to disperse, the situation would be highly variable.
For example, if you are taken hostage by local forces when you are out and threatened by local forces, we will be very passive and will not be able to perform at our normal level of attack.
In addition, the logistical support and surrounding environment of leaving the garrison area are different from those in the garrison area, so the way we fight is different.
As long as everyone is stationed in the area, we are fully capable of holding out until the arrival of other members of the Chinese Self-Defense Forces.
I can't guarantee the rest, I can only guarantee everyone's safety in the cantonment, and once everyone leaves the cantonment, we can only do our best. ”
