After Zhao Feng heard this, he was stunned for a long time.

How can this Liu Zhang be called the emperor?

In Zhao Feng's image, Liu Zhang is cowardly and suspicious, and he is not the image of an emperor.

Then he pondered for a while and asked, "Are there any other details?" ”

Tian Feng nodded: "I heard that Liu Zhang's document said that Liu Bianchan gave the emperor to Yuan Shu, and Liu Xie was regarded as a puppet by Cao Cao. ”

"The Han family has declined, and Liu Zhang, as a relative of the Han family, should follow the example of Emperor Guangwu and reinvigorate the Han family!"

After Zhao Feng heard this, he groaned.

If you want to copy it rigidly, in fact, the current division of princes is not much different from Wang Mang's period.

After the Green Forest and Red Mei uprisings overthrew the Xinmang regime, they soon fell into a state of chaos again.

The first emperor Liu Xuan entered Chang'an and was intoxicated with the life of the emperor, drinking and having fun all day long.

The Red Mei Army set up Liu Penzi as the emperor, reorganized the army, and stepped up the march to Chang'an.

When the two rebel armies of Lulin and Chimei each established their own sons of heaven and fought each other, Liu Xiu took the opportunity to strengthen his power, and finally unified the Central Plains and rebuilt the Han dynasty.

The current situation is that Yuan Shu and Cao Cao have each established a son of heaven, and the situation is similar to Green Forest and Red Eyebrows.

In addition, Yuan Shu was even more excessive, and he actually asked Liu Wei to follow Yao Shun, and Zen was located in him!

Who can guarantee that Cao Cao will not follow Yuan Shu and let Liu Xie give up the throne to himself?

Therefore, it makes sense that Liu Zhang wants to follow the example of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu and take the opportunity to strengthen his power.

After all, the situation of Liu Wei and Liu Xie is known to everyone in the world, even if there are capable people and righteous people who want to help Liu Wei or Liu Xie to help the Han family, because of Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, Kuang Fu is hopeless.

In this way, after Liu Zhang became emperor, for these capable and righteous people, there was indeed one more choice to support the Han family.

To put it simply, Liu Zhang's move does have a lot of aspects for recruiting loyal talents.

As for these ideas, whether they are Liu Zhang's own thoughts, or the thoughts of Liu Zhang's strategists and generals, there is no way to know for the time being.

Thinking of this, Zhao Feng sighed: "Liu Zhang is far away in Yizhou to claim the emperor. ”

"I don't know what impact it will have on us in the future."

To be honest, Zhao Feng never thought that one day Liu Zhang would actually be the emperor!

However, the situation of the Han Dynasty has long deviated from the official history, and Zhao Feng can understand any situation.

It's just that the more this happens, what will become of the end of the Han Dynasty, and the more uncertain Zhao Feng will become.

Tian Feng pondered for a moment: "Yizhou is too far away from us. ”

"In the short term, it shouldn't have any impact on us."

"In addition, after Liu Zhang became the emperor, it is impossible for Liu Zhang's command to be monolithic, maybe there will be turmoil in the short term!"

Then the conversation changed: "But in this way, for the lord to be the emperor in the future, I am afraid that it will be a lot of trouble." ”

Zhao Feng asked, "What's the trouble?" ”

Tian Feng groaned slightly: "The problem of the people's hearts! ”

After Zhao Feng heard this, he pondered.

In the previous situation, the various princes were only divided into kings, but in essence they were still under the control of the court.

For the people, these princes are only princes.

But the current situation is similar to an alternative Three Kingdoms.

Although the three sons of heaven all said that they were orthodox in the Han family, the people's hearts have obviously been divided.

Just like the official history, the princes divided the territory and took only more than 20 years to divide the world.

And it took more than 40 years to divide the world into the world!

It is these 40 years that have led to heavy casualties among the Han people.

In order to keep more Han people, Zhao Feng secretly decided that since it was already like this, he could not let this alternative Three Kingdoms, like the official history, end up with only more than 8 million Han people.

He pondered for a long time: "If it is unpredictable today." ”

"Maybe there will be someone who will suddenly become the emperor!"

"In order to end the troubled times early, starting next year, the number of recruits recruited each year will be expanded to 60,000!"

In order to control the population structure under Zhao Feng's rule, he did not recruit too many soldiers before.

Unlike Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Yuan Shao and others, they recruited tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of troops at one time.

As long as there is no big war, there will be no continued recruitment of new soldiers in the coming year, as a way to recuperate.

In short, as many soldiers as taxes can raise, as many troops will be recruited.

However, the world has been fighting for many years, resulting in princes from all walks of life grabbing strong men to fill the army every year.

According to the practice of these princes, when this group of old people and women die, the overall population of the Han people will be greatly reduced.

If Zhao Feng continues to do this, although he will eventually use his absolute national strength advantage to drag down the other princes and kings.

But the Han people in the land ruled by other princes and kings will have too many casualties.

Therefore, Zhao Feng can only choose to recruit an additional 50% of the recruits every year, from the original recruitment of 40,000 to the current recruitment of 60,000.

In this way, the army that originally needed to be recruited for three years can now meet the requirements in two years.

It is expected that after nine years, a great war to dominate the world will be launched, and it can also be advanced to the sixth year, and a great war to dominate the world can be launched.

Of course, whether or not they can dominate the world in the end depends on the war situation of all parties.

In case Zhao Feng followed in the footsteps of Cao Cao in the official history, he defeated these armies in one battle.

Then the final situation, I'm afraid it will be similar to Cao Cao in the official history.

Tian Feng thought about it carefully: "It's okay." ”

"In this way, our army will not be tight every time."

Then the conversation changed: "Starting next year, will there be a fixed amount for female soldiers every year?" ”

"Otherwise, we will recruit more than half a year like this year, and recruit less than 20,000 female soldiers."

Zhao Feng understands the situation of female soldiers.

Now that the lives of the people are better, driven by the old ideas, they naturally don't want their daughters to run away to join the army.

In addition, other princes will send people to spread the word, saying that this is a shameful behavior, and these people will not let their daughters run away to join the army.

In a similar situation, not to mention the end of the Han Dynasty today, even some cities in the south in later generations have the custom of not allowing their daughters to go out to work.

If his daughter goes out to work, as a father, he will not only lose face in front of the villagers, but also be considered an incompetent father by the villagers.

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "It's okay!" ”

"Then let's tentatively set it at a quarter of the male soldiers, that is, a fixed recruitment of 15,000 female soldiers every year."

Then he added: "This year's female soldiers, as many as they can recruit, will be recruited. ”

"After that, I will send it to the Yuan clan to train in a unified manner, so I don't need to continue to wait."

Female soldiers, like male soldiers, need to be recruited from all over the country.

The only difference is that the male soldiers can be recruited quickly and sent together to join the Yuan.

Because the female soldiers were not recruited for a long time, they kept delaying in the place and did not send the Yuan family.

In this way, female soldiers naturally cannot be trained as soldiers!
