"The ancient world of Jigu was opened, and China was established in the center, thousands of miles of China, the scenery and the richness, the eight wildernesses and the six combinations, the four seas, the land of China, and the heavens. The barbarian Huyi all yearn for, eat my Han food, learn my Chinese characters, and follow my Han customs, after which Hu Yi can settle down, stay away from Ru Mao and drink blood, and no longer orcs. ”

"However, now, those who look around at Hu Yi all repay virtue with grievances, rob our Han land, and kill our Han people. The beautiful rivers and mountains of the Central Plains were originally the holy land of Yan and Huang, the paradise of China, and in today's domain, whose world is it? ”

"The eight kings of the former Jin Dynasty were in turmoil, Huaxia was greatly injured, and Hu Yi took advantage of the chaos to disturb the Central Plains and slaughter the city and plunder the land. In the first year of Yongxing, Hu Dog Xianbei, plundered the Central Plains, robbed countless wealth, plundered 100,000 Han women, raped at night, cooked at Dan, threw thousands of women into the river, and cut off the flow of Yishui. The violence of dogs, with Han as "sheep", kills them as food. ”

"Today's Hu Yi people, wolf ambitions, take pleasure in plundering and slaughtering, and take pride in robbing Han land. Now the north is desolate, Hu Di is everywhere, and the children of the Han family are almost slaughtered. Between heaven and earth, the wind and clouds change color, and the grass and trees are sad! There is an urgency to hang in the four seas, there is a bloody grudge in the family, and people have a regret of revenge. The Northland is in danger! Dajin is in danger! China is in danger! ”

"The blue sky is above, Shunchang is against the death, and the heavens are raised to slaughter the Hu. Vow to slaughter all the Hu in the world, kill all the people in the world, restore the land of the Han people, and snow the hatred of China! ”

On May 8, the 5th year of Hongwu, the front page of the Luoyang Times was a crusade against the Hu people written by Sima Shu, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. Since the end of the Han Dynasty, the Hu people in the north have repeatedly invaded the Han land and plundered the Han people. It has long caused the anger of Hermes-Epitek and the resentment of the people. As citizens of the empire, which grew stronger, they had long been dissatisfied with the Hu people in the north who still occupied the land belonging to the Han people.

As soon as this article came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the capital and even in the whole of China. Especially the people in the north, since the end of the Han Dynasty, the Hu people have invaded the north again and again, and they have accumulated boundless anger, and now His Majesty the Emperor has personally issued a crusade against the Hu people, which immediately aroused the support of most of the people under the rule of the imperial court! Many scholars from Bingzhou and Youzhou even shouted long live, believing that the imperial court should have exterminated the Hu people in the north a long time ago.

The next morning, at the pilgrimage meeting. Emperor Sima Shu addressed the ministers in the Taiji Palace. It was officially announced that the Great Jin had won the first stage of the Hu-Han War, and from today onwards, the Great Jin completely occupied the initiative in this war. In the future, the Jin army will launch a full-scale attack on the Hu people in the north until it will recover all the lost territory and drive all the Hu people away!

Cabinet members and other ministers attending the meeting, as well as military representatives, listened to Sima Shu's words. All of them were also in a surging mood. Long after the Battle of Shangdang. The Cabinet has already begun preparations for the second phase of the operation. Both the Cabinet and the military. It's all ready.

The army and navy have completed their pre-war preparations and are ready to attack at any time. On the naval side, the main force of the First Fleet is transporting supplies to Vladivostok day and night.

"We've endured it for so many years. Now the Hu people have become grasshoppers in the autumn and can't be around for long, and their previous atrocities have been spurned by all the subjects of the Great Jin. This is a great opportunity for us. We must take this opportunity to sweep away the Hu people in the north and unify the entire northern part of China! ”

"Your Majesty, in order to support the next war, the household department has raised a special fund of 5 million guan to support the next war. And now that the enthusiasm of the private sector is high, if that is not enough, we can also use the power of the private sector to gather millions of dollars. Du Xi, the head of the household, spoke first.

This time, in order to completely solve the Hu people in the north, the court spent a total of nearly 20 million yuan on this war, which was a great pressure on the finances of the Western Jin Dynasty, which was not rich. You must know that last year, the income of the entire Dajin was less than 30 million, and this was still thanks to the large-scale infrastructure construction of Dajin, which made the economy of Dajin develop rapidly.

"Your Majesty, give the order! Our military is ready for the last battle against the enemy. However, the attack must be accelerated, lest the Hu people flee to the depths of the grassland in order to survive. With our current strength, we do not yet have the ability to fight in the northward steppe. Now that the Qiang people have fled, if we let the other Hu people escape, our military will lose all face! Zhu Zheng, the secretary of the Admiralty, said a little impatiently.

"Haha!" Everyone burst out laughing, which clearly showed that Hu Ren was not taken into account at all! If this is known to the Hu people in the north, won't they be angry to death! Come to think of it, in order to win this battle, Dajin has been preparing for four or five years. Almost all of the development gains of the last five years have been devoted to this war.

"Hehe, Aiqing doesn't need to worry, in fact, there is already a war in the direction of Liaodong. As for the direction of Jinyang, in order to prevent Hu Rengou from jumping over the wall in a hurry, the Jin army has not yet launched an attack on Taiyuan County. Otherwise, if the Huns threatened us with the hundreds of thousands of Han people in their hands, it would be a bit of trouble. Zhang Bin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, explained with a smile.

"Well, Shoufu's words are worthy of the old man's theory of seeking the country. It should be the Hu people who are anxious at the moment, so we must calm down. The more critical it is, the more you should stay calm. We should be cautious about the hundreds of thousands of Huns who are in our encirclement, and we should intensify our attacks in the northeast and northwest directions, especially in the northeast, and strive for a decisive battle! ”

"Please rest assured that Your Majesty has already drawn up a battle plan for the Military Service. Ten days later, the troops of all routes will launch an attack from Daijun, Mazishui, and Vladivostok, and enter Quang Ninh County, Yan Kingdom, and Goguryeo one after another, striving to completely annihilate the two Xianbei tribes of Yuwen and Duan, and then take the entire northeast region in one fell swoop. ”

"Your Majesty! In order to support the Northeast Operation, the War Department planned to increase the number of 10-chamber infantry troops and 5-compartment cavalry troops to the Youzhou front, totaling 45,000 people, bringing the total strength of the Youzhou front to nearly 100,000. It's just that these troops are newly expanded, and their combat effectiveness may not be as strong as the troops invested before. ”

"Well, I understand this, in order to cope with the second phase of the operation, the Xiang army has indeed expanded a lot. Although their combat effectiveness has decreased, I believe that after the baptism of battle, these recruits will become veterans of a hundred battles. In the future, after our reunification, it is estimated that the current number of troops will not be enough, and only by maintaining a huge strength of 400,000 to 500,000 troops in the future can we meet the needs of national defense! Sima Shu nodded.

In the future, after the Great Jin Dynasty restored the ruling territory of the peak of the Han Dynasty, the territory ruled will be four times the current territory, how can the peace of the world be guaranteed without enough troops, as for military spending, as long as the Great Jin Dynasty pursues the policy of simultaneous development of agriculture and industry in the future, coupled with the continuous implementation of the measures of supplementing the population of the Sinicized Hu people, it is more than enough to feed 500,000 professional soldiers with a population of nearly 20 million and an annual financial income of at least 50 million.

And Sima Shu's words, after Wang Yan, Pei Wei, Yang Xuanzhi and other ministers of the family heard it, they all frowned unconsciously. In their view, when Sima Shu completed the unification issue, he should adopt a policy of cultivating literature and martial arts, just like Emperor Gaozu of Han and Emperor Wu of Jin, and wantonly weaken the military force.

However, from Sima Shu's words just now, these families not only did not hear the meaning of weakening the military strength, but showed signs of continuing to increase investment. This made Wang Yan and others feel very dissatisfied with the fact that they had been overwhelmed by the newly rising military class, because the rise and expansion of the new class would inevitably infringe on the interests of the original class.

"Your Majesty, do we need to expand our army in the future when we have no enemies?" Pei Wei came out of class and said.

"Why not? The current enemy has been eliminated, and who knows what will appear in the future? Those who are kings and ministers must take precautions! Sima Shu unswervingly insisted on the proposal of expanding the army.

"That's it, Your Majesty said it too well! After the elimination of the Hu people in the north, there are still many countries waiting for us to conquer in the west. In particular, the Sassanid Dynasty has always coveted our Western Regions, and if you don't subdue the other party, you are afraid that it will be difficult to guarantee that the other party will not take advantage of the fire to rob in the future! Zhang Bin and Zhu Zheng firmly stood on Sima Shu's side and actively supported the proposal of expanding the army. After all, His Majesty attaches so much importance to military construction, which shows that His Majesty does not have the idea of putting Nanshan on the horse.

Regarding Zhang Bin's statement, Sima Shu nodded, after defeating the Xiongnu in Bingzhou and the Xianbei people in Youzhou, it does not mean that the world is peaceful, that is, the traditional territory will be unified in the future, and he also wants to break hands with the Roman Empire in the west.

"Okay, the discussion about the expansion of the army has been decided, and the others will not talk about it anymore!" Sima Shu saw that there were still people who wanted to raise objections, so he had to act arbitrarily again.

"Your Majesty, what about our navy? What is our mission? Do you want to attack the eastern coastal area of Goguryeo immediately? "Zhu Zheng, the secretary of the Admiralty, was a little dissatisfied with the task of not having the navy, you must know that the war broke out for so long, and the navy only made a big war, and the navy looked at the Hu people and ghosts killed by the army on various battlefields crying wolf, and they were also envious.

"Huh? Didn't you let the Marines attack behind Goguryeo from Vladivostok? Sima Shu asked with some confusion.

"Your Majesty, the Marine Corps is the Marine Corps, and Wei Chen said that it is the two major fleets of the Navy, so we can't always act as a logistics support team!" Zhu Zheng replied with some depression, because the Great Jin Navy is an invincible existence in Asia, they rarely get the opportunity to fight in addition to serving as a logistics transportation brigade.

"Shhh This ......," Sima Shu was dumbfounded, "However, haven't you already fought a battle with Goguryeo, haven't you enjoyed it yet?" ”

"Your Majesty, that battle is not enough for the navy to stuff its teeth up and down!" Zhu Zheng replied unsatisfactorily.

"Why don't you go to Nanyang!" Sima Shu thought about it carefully and felt that it was definitely a waste of resources to let the main fleet of the navy act as a logistics transport team, and it was better to let them open up the South Seas, anyway, sooner or later he would have to do something to the South Seas.

"Really!? That's great! (To be continued......)
