Just when the whole city was immersed in the carnival, although Qin Duan was also very happy, he still kept a clear head. On December 1, the third day after returning to Tokugawa, according to Qin Dui's request, the military and political leaders of the Tokugawa and Northwestern Prefectures gathered in the conference room of the Tokugawa Castle Castle to hold a joint meeting of the military and government of the Tokugawa and North-Northwest Prefectures. As a result of the great victory of the Tokugawa Prefecture army, all the unstable factors had naturally disappeared, and Zhuge Fang also came to the Tokugawa Prefecture to attend this important meeting along with other government officials from the Northwest Prefecture.

The meeting was presided over by Qin Du, and first of all, the dream reported the results of the battle and the losses of our side. In this battle, our cavalry lost a total of 13,435 people, of which 2,877 belonged to heavy cavalry, and the infantry lost 50,321 people, of which 3,214 were heavy infantry, with a total loss of 63,756 people, and about 67,358 wounded, of which about 15,325 were seriously wounded. The enemy's 600,000 troops were annihilated by our army of more than 100,000 people, including 150,000 prisoners, 98,687 war horses, a number of siege equipment, and a number of grain and grass materials.

Immediately afterwards, Liang Qiming and Zhuge Fang also made brief summaries and reports on the economic development and social order of the two prefectures in Tokugawa and Northwest Prefecture.

The total population of Tokugawa Prefecture is already approaching the 5 million mark, and at the current rate of migration, it is estimated that it will exceed the 5 million mark by the end of the year. Agriculture, handicrafts, commerce, finance, and recreational services have all developed well, and agriculture has reaped a bumper harvest, while the massive influx of immigrants has greatly alleviated the situation of labor shortage, and the continuous influx of immigrants has brought the supply and demand of labor to a basic balance.

Due to the adoption of the tax reduction and exemption policy, fiscal revenue is still unable to make ends meet, but it is estimated that some industries will get a fundamental improvement after the return to normal tax payment next year.

The economy of the Northwest County has grown rapidly, especially in the lumber industry, timber processing industry, furniture manufacturing industry, pharmaceutical industry, and arts and crafts production, and many merchants and workshop owners have expanded or opened new shops. The whole industry and commerce are showing a thriving scene.

Wanfeng Qianzhuang and Huichang, the largest Qianzhuang in the Jiangnan area, have applied to establish a branch in Northwest County, and the application has been submitted to the Economic Development Department. Fiscal revenues have continued to grow rapidly and steadily, and tax revenues have exceeded twice the amount of the same period last year, which is impressive.

The population also increased to a certain extent, and although it did not catch up with Tokugawa Prefecture, it increased by tens of thousands in a few months. Many of them are Gaoshan people from other countries in the Greater Hengduan Mountains, who have crossed the mountains to the territory of the Northwest County, and the policy here is enough to make the Gaoshan people anywhere risk being devoured by wild beasts.

Agriculture has also obtained a bumper harvest, especially in the central, southern and western areas where the Gaoshan people are more distributed, and the grain has been able to be basically self-sufficient, which has always been the dream of the Gaoshan people, and today it has finally been realized, which makes the Gaoshan people happy to follow Lord Qin Duan out of the mountains, if it weren't for the fact that everyone is still worried about the food for the winter.

With the completion of the road from Northhoku-gun to Tokugawa. An economic development belt was quickly formed on both sides of the road, and a large amount of timber and medicinal materials from the southern and western parts of Tokugawa Prefecture were continuously shipped out, while large quantities of grain, livestock, and leather products from Tokugawa were brought in, bringing Tokugawa and Tokugawa closer economic ties.

Li Hua and Mu Jia also reported on the recruitment and training of reserve soldiers and the cultivation of military horse farms. Thanks to excellent propaganda and a large increase in immigration, the number of reservists in Tokugawa Prefecture exceeded 100,000, enough to form two new divisions. Moreover, the physical quality of the reservists is also quite good, and the enthusiasm for training is also very high. And all aspire to serve in the regular army.

The number of reservists in Northwest County has also increased significantly, and now there are nearly 50,000 reservists, of which about 25,000 are from the Gaoshan tribe. Quite significant results have also been achieved.

Liang Qiming also made a report on the current international and domestic situation, and while Qin Du led a large army to defeat the Huns, the situation in our two neighboring counties was deteriorating. On November 25, the Meishan County Riot Coalition again ambushed the garrison units of two wings from Yangcheng, the capital city of Meishan County, and the garrison units of the two wings were completely annihilated. At present, most of the territory of Meishan County has been controlled by the riot army, and even Yangfu City, where the county government is located, has only 50,000 troops left, according to intelligence, the riot army in Meishan will launch an attack on Yangcheng in the near future.

The rebel army in Longdong County was even more rampant, and except for Fucheng, other areas had been completely controlled by the rebel army. Moreover, according to intelligence, a part of the rebel army has infiltrated Guiyan City, the capital of Longdong County, and the situation in Guiyan Province has begun to show signs of instability, and remote areas have begun to lose control, and the local area has been declared under martial law.

Due to the fact that both the Sislo Empire and the Kaman army stationed in Jiama City, the Duchy of Gerlok, exerted tremendous military pressure on Lishan County in the north, although Fielding of Lishan County received many letters of help from Meishan and Longdong, he still did not dare to take the liberty of sending troops south.

Hearing this, Qin Duan couldn't help frowning and asked, "Then what is the reaction of the imperial court?" ”

Liang Qiming immediately replied: "The imperial court is also very anxious, but at present, we are resisting the invasion of the Huns, and the army of Meishan County is pinned down by the Sislo and Kamans, and the situation in other neighboring areas is unstable. After your Excellency left, that is, on November 25, we also received a letter from the Imperial Army, asking us to withdraw part of our troops and staff Meishan County and Longdong County after repelling the attack of the Huns. ”

Qin Duan let out a cold snort from his nose, "Last time I marched into the Northwest County to relieve the people of the Northwest County in the midst of fire and water, there were many people in the court who attacked me for violating the ancestral system of the imperial court, it seems that good people can't deserve it, we have just finished the war, let's rest and rest." ”

After the main officials had finished reporting, Qin Duan picked up the hot teacup and took a sip gently, "Ladies and gentlemen, this battle advises everyone to work together in the same boat, so that we can defeat the invasion of the Huns smoothly, and only then can we achieve such brilliant results, although the soldiers on the front line have gone through hardships, blood and sweat, and the soldiers and government officials in the rear have also worked day and night, I am here to express my deep gratitude on behalf of myself." ”

After a pause, everyone knew that this was a sign that the county warden was about to start arranging the next phase of work.

"But you must also see that the shape in front of us is still severe, the shape of the two counties of Meishan and Longdong has deteriorated, and the erosion is imminent, once the situation gets out of control, it is very likely to affect Tokugawa and the Northwest Prefecture, and the imperial court will never sit idly by; More than 150,000 Hungarian prisoners of war also need to be dealt with urgently, and I do not want the Huns to be overly weakened, and maintaining the balance of power in the Tengger steppes will also contribute to our development, and the emergence of a strong nomadic people, whether they are the Humble or the Chidi or the Mott, is not in our long-term interests; Although our economy has made great progress, it is still far from the county government in the Jiangnan region, and we still need to continue to work hard. ”

"Therefore, I hope that all of you here must guard against arrogance and rashness and keep a clear head. In view of the current changes, I am announcing a number of appointments and work arrangements. Li Xiangjun, you immediately arrange for someone to contact the Huns, believing that this battle will be enough to dispel the Huns' ambitions for the northwest region of the empire, and let them send a man of sufficient weight to negotiate with us about the ransom of the prisoners of war and other matters. In the course of negotiations, we should pay attention to the scale, neither harm our vested interests, nor excessively weaken the other side, and make appropriate or even larger concessions when necessary. ”

Liang Qiming understood my words and nodded again and again.

"Liang Qiming, Zhuge Fang, economic development cannot be relaxed, and it must be stepped up. Resettlement should be paid attention to, resettlement in remote areas as much as possible, and at the same time do a good job in service work. It is necessary to intensify the construction of infrastructure, especially the construction of water conservancy facilities on farmland and the work of agricultural scientific research, because agriculture is the foundation of the country. ”

Liang Qiming and Zhuge Fang also nodded solemnly in agreement.

"Zhuge Fang, when you return to the Northwest County, you must speed up the construction of roads to the south and west, and in addition, you must still adopt a policy of attracting immigrants to come and develop the central and western regions of the Northwest County. Yu Ye's financial work is quite good, and it is worth learning from, but we must pay attention to moderation and not exhaust the fish. Also, I have built a medical school in Northwest County to train medical nurses who will not only serve ordinary people, but also save many of our wounded soldiers on the battlefield. This is also the lesson that Qin Duan summed up after this war.

Zhuge Fang, Yu Ye, Zhou Yuxuan and other major officials of the Northwest County also nodded in agreement with Qin Duan's opinion and promised to go back and implement it in place.

"In addition, I order that the reservists of Tokugawa and Northwestern Prefecture be replenished immediately for the personnel lost in this campaign, and that the First and Second Army Corps should be fully recruited."

Qin Duan didn't give Liang Qiming and Zhuge a chance to open their mouths, otherwise they would have to argue with themselves for a long time about the expansion of the conscription, and they didn't wait for anyone, who knows which day the empire will let itself pacify the two counties of Meishan and Longdong.

While the people of Tokugawa and Northwest Prefecture were celebrating the defeat of the invasion of the Huns, Li Hua, who was good at fanning the flames, began a new round of his conscription propaganda plan. When Qin Dui changed into civilian clothes and walked out of the gate of the county guard mansion with Liu Ruis and Sima Qingqing to the most prosperous Qin Dui Avenue, they saw a scene that made Qin Dui stunned.
