Update Total:
Ziling, the study room of the palace of the king of Chu.
Xiang Zhuang is convening five civil and military ministers, including Yin Xianghe, General Xiang Tuo, General Bi Shu, Military Division Bai Lixian, and Shang Dafu Wu She, to hold a pre-imperial meeting.
Xiang Zhuang first asked Xiang him: "Ziyi, have all the bounties for meritorious soldiers been distributed?" ”
This time, the state of Chu made a big move, dispatched 200,000 government troops, 30,000 forbidden troops to fight with the Han army and the Qi army, and the price paid could not be said to be heavy, more than 50,000 casualties on the Huainan battlefield alone, but the harvest was also quite rich, not to mention the occupation of the big granary of Bashu, and on the way back to Jiangdong, it annexed the Linjiang country in one fell swoop!
Now, the land area of Chu has increased more than fourfold, the population has also increased from more than 5 million to nearly 7 million, and the number of Zhuangding has also exceeded 1.5 million.
Even if it is the Huainan battlefield, the Chu army is not without gains.
In the face of the 400,000 army of Han Xin, the "immortal of the soldiers", the Chu army is already a victor if it can be undefeated!
It can be said that in this battle, the state of Chu basically realized the strategic intention formulated before the war, so when it came to rewarding meritorious deeds and issuing bounties, Xiang Zhuang was also very generous, and asked him to distribute them according to the highest specifications! As for the knighthood rewards for meritorious soldiers and the pensions for fallen soldiers, they must be handled in strict accordance with the regulations.
Xiang He arched his hand, and said with some pain: "Back to the king, it has been all distributed." ”
Can he not be in pain? According to Xiang Zhuang's edict, the 50,000 troops of the expedition to Bashu, the 160,000 troops of the northern expedition to Huainan, and the 50,000 troops left behind in Meishan and Huaishui are all credited with first-class, that is to say, each soldier who goes out on the expedition has ten reward coins, and the soldiers who have a record of killing the enemy will be judged separately, and the bounty will be added!
After calculation, the 260,000 troops who participated in the war actually distributed more than 5.6 million gold coins!
There is also a pension for the fallen soldiers, more than 20,000 people with 100 gold each, and more than 2 million gold!
Good guy, Xiang has accumulated for ten years, and the entire treasury has only accumulated more than 20 million gold, and now that a guy has gone nearly half, can he not be heartbroken? The king is not a family and does not know how expensive firewood and rice are, is it easy for him to save this little belongings? But the king was good, and as soon as the golden mouth was opened, the gold coin flowed out like flowing water.
Of course, Xiang Zhuang knew what Xiang was thinking, so he patted Xiang on the shoulder and said, "Ziyi, you can't just see that there are 10 million gold coins missing in the treasury, you must know that after these 10 million gold coins are distributed to meritorious soldiers, they will not disappear out of thin air, and in the end, they will still flow into the treasury." ”
As an ancient, Xiang was not familiar with commercial circulation.
Xiang Zhuang also did not understand economics and finance, but he had read a classic debate before crossing over.
Before Xiangzhuang crossed, Huaxia had just held an Olympic Games, and the investment was as high as 400 billion yuan, and there was a lot of criticism from the people for the government to spend so much money to hold such a luxurious sports event. …,
As a matter of fact, the government's investment of 400 billion yuan to host an Olympic Games will generate at least 4 trillion yuan in the direct output value of infrastructure, building materials, services and other industries, and create at least 40,000 jobs.
In other words, the 400 billion yuan invested by the government will flow into the pockets of the people through profits, wages, service exchanges, etc., and in the process, it will also produce ten or even hundreds of times the output value, create a large number of jobs, and leave behind a beautiful city and a large number of stadiums, which is definitely not a waste.
To paraphrase a phrase at the time, this was called the Olympic Economic Thorn "冇" jī plan.
The reason why other countries don't spend much money to hold the Olympics is not that they don't want to follow Beijing's example, but that they simply don't have the strength to follow suit.
Therefore, the treasury issued tens of millions of gold at once, and Xiang Zhuang was not worried at all, so what could he worry about? After the 10 million gold coins are distributed to the families of meritorious soldiers or fallen soldiers, it will greatly promote the industrial and commercial development of Jiangdong, especially the winemaking, textile, and construction industries in Jiangdong, which will usher in an unprecedented golden age!
You think, after the meritorious soldier receives the bounty, he must have fun and celebrate, and it is necessary to invite friends and find a few good old friends to go to the restaurant to drink and party! Then, the soldiers will definitely build a big mansion for themselves, and then buy a few decent clothes for their wives and children, and the nobles should look like nobles, right?
The prosperity of the winemaking, textile, and construction industries will lead to the prosperity of cotton grain cultivation and civil engineering industries, and most importantly, the development of all these industries will lead to the development of the transportation industry.
That is to say, the expenditure of 10 million gold in the treasury will produce at least 10,000 gold in output value, and the economic scale of the entire Jiangdong and even the entire Chu State will be greatly expanded.
Xiang naturally didn't understand this, but shook his head noncommittally.
Xiang Zhuang didn't explain much, and asked Xiang Tuo again: "Ziyan, has the selection and assessment of the forbidden army been completed?" ”
It is no exaggeration to say that if there were no three major battalions of the forbidden army, then whether it was the battle of Bashu or the battle of Huainan, the result would be completely different, and with the growth of the national strength of the Chu State and the increase in the land area, the expansion of the forbidden army was already imminent.
The forbidden army will be expanded into three armies, tiger ben, wolf, and Xiao cavalry, each army has jurisdiction over two battalions on the left and right, and the strength of each battalion remains unchanged, which is still 10,000 cavalry, so that the forbidden army will be expanded from 30,000 cavalry to 60,000 cavalry, and it is necessary to select nearly 40,000 veterans from the government soldiers, fortunately, the number of veterans who have participated in the battle of Bashu or Huainan is enough.
In addition, the left battalion of the Heavenly Wolf will be stationed at Jinniu Pass, and the right battalion of Huben will be stationed in Jiangling, and soon after both of these places were incorporated into the Chu State, it would obviously not work if there was no elite division that could fight well.
Xiang Tuo said: "Back to the king, 40,000 veterans have been selected. ”
"yes, okay." Xiang Zhuang nodded happily, and turned back to Bi Shu and said, "Learn the sword, the battle of Sishu and the battle of Huainan si, the expansion of the forbidden army and the selection of 40,000 veterans, the shortage of soldiers in each county is large, you have to urge all counties and counties to make up for the shortage of government soldiers as soon as possible, as well as the four counties of Linjiang and the two counties of Bashu, the government soldiers should also be trained as soon as possible." ”…,
Bi Shu replied: "The king can rest assured, the minister has appointed two generals, Zicheshi and Xiqilie, to Linjiang and Bashu to be responsible for the preparation and training of government soldiers, as for the shortage of government soldiers in the four counties of Jiangdong, it will be made up within half a month, but due to the lack of training, the combat effectiveness of the entire army may decline." ”
Xiang Zhuang nodded silently, he couldn't help the government soldiers like this, but he was afraid that the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army would also decline, but this was not a problem, an army, as long as there were a considerable number of veterans, its combat effectiveness would soon be restored, and even enhanced, so Xiang Zhuang was not worried about the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army and the Jiangdong government soldiers at all.
Even if the government soldiers of the four counties of Linjiang and the two counties of Bashu can not raise enough soldiers, even if the government soldiers of these six counties can be quickly formed and formed, it will be difficult to form combat effectiveness within three years, that is to say, at least for three years, the state of Chu must continue to transfer troops from Jiangdong to Linjiang and Sishu.
Once the Han army moved, the state of Chu needed to launch a large army to Linjiang or Bashu.
After pondering for a moment, Xiang Zhuang suddenly asked Baili Xian: "Ziliang, do you think Liu Bang will give up?" ”
"I'm afraid not." Bai Lixian shook his feather fan and replied, "If nothing else, Liu Bang will definitely fight back." ”
Xiang Zhuang nodded, and slowly walked to the screen hanging on the map, Xiang He, Xiang Tuo, Wu She, Bi Shu, Bai Lixian and other ministers of civil and military affairs also followed and stood behind Xiang Zhuang, looking at the map and pondering "Set sail without watermark" for a long time, Xiang Zhuang said in a deep voice: "If the Han army wants revenge, which direction will they start?" ”
Well.........
Almost at the same time, Liu Bang was also holding a pre-imperial meeting in Weiyang Palace.
The Han army retreated to Guanzhong more than half a month ago, and the general of Chu State, Gao Chu, forcibly recruited tens of thousands of people in Hanzhong and built a fortress at the Jinniu Pass, known as the "Golden Bull Pass." Liu Bang personally led the army to storm for more than a month, and lost countless soldiers, but he was never able to capture the Jinniu Pass, and Liu Bang had no choice but to retreat back to the pass.
The atmosphere of the meeting was a little dignified, Liu Bang was certainly gloomy, Xiao He, Chen Ping, Bai Mo, Zhou Bo and other important civil and military ministers were not good-looking, this time the Han Kingdom suffered a big loss, and poured the country's troops to the north, although it recaptured Jiuyuan County, but also let the Chu army take advantage of the false attack to take the two counties of Ba and Shu, no matter how it is a big loss.
Not long ago, I got the news that the Chu army had destroyed the Linjiang Kingdom on the way back to the division!
After the Chu State annexed the two counties of Bashu and the four counties of Linjiang, the land area expanded several times, and the total population and the number of strong men also increased a lot, compared with the Han Kingdom, it was only a lot more!
Only Zhang Liang looked calm and said: "King, if you lose your horse, do you know if it's a blessing?" ”
Liu Bang frowned, and said unhappily: "The ovary, if you lose Bashu, can it still be a blessing?" ”
"It depends on what the king thinks, judging from the matter itself, my Han Kingdom lost the two counties of Bashu, not only has the land area shrunk by more than half, but the population has also plummeted by nearly two million, which is indeed not a good thing." After saying this, Zhang Liang said again, "But then again, after the Chu State occupied Linjiang and Bashu, it also gave up the strategic initiative. ”。 )
