After ten years of saving, I can finally fight a big war. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Why develop Gangnam? It's not for the sake of storing grain and preparing for the army!

In a war, in fact, what we are fighting is logistics, and what we are fighting is comprehensive national strength. There is not enough food and grass, and no matter how brave the soldiers in front are, it is in vain. Not to mention that the nomads knew that the Han people fought wars, had a lot of logistical baggage, and the defense was relatively weak. Once the grain and grass were looted and burned, the Han people had to retreat.

The nomads are different, their horses can find delicious water and grass on the grassland, and they take mares, cattle and sheep to go on the expedition together. Once the cattle and sheep have finished eating, then drink mare's milk, and they will not starve to death. Coupled with the vastness of the grassland, except for some undulating hills, all of them are flat lands, and they run in any direction, and you dare not chase them.

Why? There are many dead places in the grasslands that outsiders simply don't know about. The seemingly ordinary meadow, as soon as you step on it, is a swamp, and it is really a murder without blood.

And this, too, is the difference between nomadic and agrarian peoples, who inherently determine who is the defender and who is the attacker.

Of course, it is not possible to generalize.

According to the theory of Bagua Yin and Yang, the cathode turns to yang, and the anode turns to yin, in other words, it is the prosperity and decline. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the Xiongnu were extremely powerful, and after the Han Dynasty passed the rule of Wenjing, the seventh emperor Liu Che, exhausted the strength of the whole country, and finally defeated the Xiongnu and achieved the mighty Han Wu Emperor in the desert. The Xiongnu turned from prosperity to decline, and the Han Dynasty was not? Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty exhausted the national strength accumulated during the Wenjing period, and the Han Dynasty also took a sharp turn from the peak.

In the final analysis, the Han people are a farming people, and the nomads are the grassland people, they know how to make a living on the grassland, while the Han people don't understand, this is the difference. It's not that the nomads don't want to make progress, but they are always running for survival, where can they settle down and develop culture?

The inertia of the Han people is that the more developed the culture, the more relaxed the military armament, once the nomads are restless, there is almost no resistance, and the previously developed culture is for others to make wedding dresses.

It's a strange circle, a strange circle of history. Even though history has changed beyond recognition, this cycle still exists.

It wasn't until there was technology that could offset the brute force gap that the attacker and the defender were able to switch.

And this is also why Lu Chengqi wants to vigorously develop firearms, no matter how familiar he is with history, he can also know from reasoning, why did the nomads suffer a devastating blow after the appearance of firearms? To be precise, it should be that after the appearance of repeating firearms, the cavalry gradually withdrew from the stage of history. The reason is very simple, can thousands of cavalry withstand the strafing of a dozen heavy machine guns? The nomads have lost their superiority in force, and culturally they can't even reach the edge of firearms, so how can they resist?

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

All wars are just a struggle to survive or to provide capital for careerists, and in the eyes of these people, there is no justice.

If you want to get out of this circle, only by first scaring the nomads and then giving them a sweet date, will they obediently lay down their arms, or choose to integrate into the Han people, or choose to go away from the desert.

It is impossible to implement this national policy without three or four generations. Lu Chengqi knew that the lifespan of ancient people was not long, and the lifespan of emperors was even shorter. If we want to implement this policy, we must rely on the unswerving efforts of our descendants to eliminate the estrangement between ethnic groups and truly integrate the grassland people into the Han people. At that time, it was not the grassland people who could herd, but the Han people. But after the grassland people entered the Central Plains, they could only put down the butcher's knife and honestly work hard for three meals a day.

This plan has been in Lu Chengqi's heart for ten years. Every step of his way to power has been for the sake of this plan.

He would not recklessly tell Feng Jing, the newly appointed cabinet chief, about this plan, but used his fear of the Khitans to achieve the goal of increasing troops on the border.

"Feng Qing, the horse bandits come and go without a trace, I really don't have any good way to exterminate them, what do you say?" Lu Chengqi said embarrassedly.

Feng Jing had also read the book of soldiers, but he never dared to boast that he knew the soldiers, his own family and his own family affairs, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, why don't you send troops to protect the field?" ”

"It is really necessary to protect the field. But what if the horse bandits plundered the Khitan merchants? ”

Feng Jing was stunned for a moment: "Then it will be in vain......"

"It's this reason, I thought, should I send more than 10,000 Huwei forbidden troops over and wipe out the horse bandits...... Lu Chengqi was in a dilemma, in fact, he just wanted to find an excuse to increase the troops.

Now the Liao State and the Jurchen are fighting happily, and even Xiao Xulie, the prime minister of the Northern Mansion, has died in office, and the general Xiao Feng is still a little worse than the treacherous and cunning Wanyan Wugunai, after being ambushed, although he tried his best to kill and injure more than 100 Jurchen heroes, he was still hit by dozens of arrows in his body, and he hated the battlefield.

At this point, the hatred between the Liao State and the Jurchen has deepened, and the fight in the Northeast has become more intense, and almost all the elites of the Liao State have been thrown into it.

The Jurchens were only majestic for a while, but now they were beaten to the point of dying, and had to retreat to Changbai Mountain again to recuperate.

But the weather is getting colder and colder, and the winter snow in Changbai Mountain is even more four or five feet deep, and if you bury a person in it, you can't see the top. With such a harsh living environment, how could the Jurchens be willing?

I learned from the secret agent that it seems that Wanyan Wugunai's old injury has recurred, and he is seriously ill in bed, and his life is not long. However, Wanyan Wugunai has already set an heir, the second son Wanyan impeached the bowl, and there is a smart grandson Wanyan Aguta, and there is no successor.

Now, what Dashun has to do is to watch the Liao State and the Jurchen fight and lose both, so that he can go over and pick up the benefits of a fisherman. Lu Chengqi would not say this intention, otherwise those civil servants who are full of benevolence and morality will criticize him. Literati, their favorite thing is insinuation, and they have done a lot of this kind of thing. Fortunately, Lu Chengqi does not want to build a literary prison, if he makes a literary prison, I don't know how many people will fall to the ground.

"Your Majesty, as long as you can keep the field thorough, don't say that there are only more than 10,000 tiger and mighty troops, so why not transfer 100,000 forbidden troops over?"

Hearing Feng Jing's words, Lu Chengqi shook his head helplessly, the Huwei Army is the cavalry of the forbidden army, and the national strength of Dashun is only raised by 100,000 elite cavalry, almost all of Lu Chengqi's belongings, and they are invested in it at one time? Fools do that! Besides, the amount of food it takes to raise one cavalryman is enough to feed thirty infantrymen. 100,000 cavalry to the border, logistics and transportation alone can drag Dashun down!

Fighting, not playing like this! (To be continued.) )
