A country cannot be without enemies, even if it is an enemy that is not useful, it is at least 10,000 times later than without an enemy. In the "Renben": Although the old country is large, the belligerent will perish; Although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous.

If the war is a waste of national funds and no income is obtained, this kind of war will indeed fight the country more and more poor, causing the domestic economy to collapse, and the people will become mournful because they have not received war dividends.

The empire fights wars, but it is not just for fun, and there are relatively clear goals in repeated battles, not just for the sake of "I am the world" for the sake of face or preferences.

Just look at how many wars the empire has fought since its rise to war, and then what it has gained from the wars, even the grasslands that are considered the most barren, because of the discovery of super-giant iron ore and the development of animal husbandry, the dividends are greater than the sky.

By the way, more and more people are involved in animal husbandry, and cattle, sheep, and horses are produced almost all the time, and the livestock that can be used as meat are naturally sent back to the country alive and then slaughtered to become meat for sale in the market. Horses are not all used for military use, in fact, because there is less and less shortage of horses in the empire, families with a little economic conditions can buy a horse for transportation, the difference is how the breed and quality of the horse is.

The dividends generated by the war in the south were even greater, and Lingnan was developed for more than ten years, because the state consciously invested, and that place began to develop from a poor mountain and bad water to a land of fish and rice. According to statistics, Lingnan accounts for at least 45 percent of the country's grain output. In fact, this is already an exaggerated figure, after all, Lingnan is one-twentieth of the empire's territory, but it provides almost half of the grain production. However, who made Lingnan three crops a year?

It needs to be told the truth, although Lingnan is three crops a year, it is ...... Heaven and earth conscience, rice that crops three times a year really doesn't taste very good.

The empire rose in the south, because the ruling class basically relied on rice as the staple food, which really changed the eating habits of the upper class, but the demand for wheat actually increased year by year, leading to the phenomenon that the empire was actually divided...... Not? It was not a split, but it was like the difference between the tofu brain salty party and the sweet party, and there were two sides of the debate between the rice party and the wheat party (pasta).

What's going on now? It is almost the Yangtze River basin, including the south of the Yangtze River, where all rice is grown, and Guanzhong, the Central Plains, and the north will definitely grow wheat if conditions permit.

That is, the era of absolute prosperity has such a special attention, if it is a war or a poor era, grass roots, tree bark or something is trivial, and even the soil (Guanyin soil) has to be eaten when you are so hungry.

In fact, the empire is really beginning to formalize, and there is a trend of developing towards a foodie nation, especially the emergence of stir-fried dishes and the popularization of spices, and all kinds of food have begun to come to the table, only one thing has not changed, that is, the meal system.

Before the Western Jin Dynasty, even after the Western Jin Dynasty, the Chinese nation actually used the meal distribution system, and it was only in the Mengyuan Dynasty that the meal distribution system was terminated. It is not only about the extinction of the country and the extinction of the species, but also about the comprehensive fault line of culture.

It's really all kinds of food that are on the table, commonly called swimming in the water, running on land, and flying in the sky, and the establishment is that as long as you can eat it in the sea, land and air, it can be made into delicious food and enter people's stomachs. There will be such a thing that has to do with one thing, and that is the creation of artificial ice cubes.

What is artificial ice? It's an ice cube made of saltpeter and other things, and if you don't understand it, you will feel unusually tall, big, and high, but after understanding it, there is really no difficulty.

With ice cubes as insurance, and then some people dig out their minds to experiment with what things can be better insured, and the foodie nation will go farther and farther on the road of eating......

It seems that because of its strength, the whole empire began to be invincible? This is exactly what Lu Zhe and some people of insight are most worried about. Then it leads to the truth that "forgetting war will be dangerous".

A country really needs to have enemies, countries that are so strong that they don't have any opponents, and they are destroyed by themselves because of the lack of opponents.

The method adopted by Lu Zhe was that although he was able to destroy a certain alien race or country at once, he chose to stay, as if Donghu was not destroyed, but Donghu was only a product of a transitional period.

That place in Liaodong is very evil, and twice in history it has given birth to a small but fierce people, both Xianbei and Jurchen. Once it was even more evil, that is, the wild boar skin was not very good to fight, but the wild boar skin was like the illegitimate son of a certain god, and every once in a while, there were fierce generals who took refuge in the good ministers, not to mention, relying on the army of slaves who came from captives, and because of the internal strife within the Ming Empire, they could not even add traitors to a population of less than one million, and became the master of the land of China? It's not what an evil sect is!

The last time the empire attacked Donghu seemed to be smooth, but there were not many hidden dangers, such as the area in Liaodong was not very suitable for cavalry combat, which made it difficult for the elite cavalry of the empire to be useful, and then the infantry of the empire...... I really don't know if it's still not an agrarian nation, the combat effectiveness of the infantry has not been the main force on the battlefield for a long time, and it has declined a lot, whether it is the overall planning ability or the actual combat on the battlefield, there are really many problems exposed.

It seems that after the end of the Lingnan War, the infantry is more of a cavalry guarding the rear flank, not only has almost no sense of existence, but also has a rapid decline in combat effectiveness.

Excuse me? Isn't it really embarrassing! It's a farming nation, even the infantry combat skills that are the most housekeeping skills have degraded, can you still play well in the system of the farming nation!

The top brass of the imperial military who found out about the deterioration of the combat effectiveness of the infantry was actually a shocked attitude. That's right, the empire is now no short of war horses, and the cavalry legions are also completely abusive to each other in the contest with various nomads. However, the Imperial cavalry was able to destroy the nomads, which was based on the overall superiority of the military system and war equipment, and the nomads did not use their correct methods of warfare at all.

The war advantage of the nomads has never been a head-on battle, but a kind of combat style of dragging and fighting, going back and forth to change strategies in space, dragging the enemy's logistics line to a weak position, striking at the enemy, forcing the enemy to fall into a demoralization depression because of the interruption of the logistics line, and then repeatedly attacking and slowly gnawing away.

See what the nomads were doing when they fought against the Empire. The Huns and the empire are almost all frontal and tough, why don't the Huns fly directly to the sky, and a country with a huge population base and military system and equipment is completely superior to their own country, so far there has been no extinction is really strange enough.

Waiting for the Huns to come back to their senses and give full play to the correct tactics of the nomads, at that time the Xiongnu were already weakened to a certain extent, and they were strategically squeezed to a fixed range. What is the result? It was the Huns who had to be the thugs of the empire, so they prayed that the empire would let them move west.

The cavalry corps of the empire can fight, very well, but a country cannot have only one branch of the army that can fight, and it is equivalent to walking on one leg if it really does.

Cavalry can fight, as an agrarian people...... In other words, the empire is not exactly an agrarian nation, but the infantry must also be able to fight, it must be able to fight!

The empire plans to transfer a new round of military training ground to the Western Regions, mainly in the direction of Hujie and Ding Lingren, this time it is to play with infantry and cavalry, and it will probably be a happy game for three or five years, and then it is time to turn back and destroy Donghu.
