Chapter 186: Combination of Interests
Chifeng Town is now a second-class town with a population of 120,000, a standing garrison of 4,000 assault cavalry, 4,000 heavy crossbow dragoons, Zhao Zhiyang, the county commander, and Duan Zigang, the county lieutenant.
Fengning City is now a third-level town, with a population of 500,000, and the standing garrison is 8,000 assault cavalry, 2,000 county guards, and 20,000 heavy crossbow infantry.
Miyun City is a first-class city, with a population of more than 890,000, including more than 300,000 strangers, a standing garrison of 10,000 heavy crossbow infantry, 8,000 assault cavalry, the city guards Tianchou, and the city captain is Yuwen Boyan.
Linxi Town is a third-class town, with a population of 520,000, a standing army of 6,000 heavy crossbow dragoons, 8,000 assault cavalry, Tian Yu as the city guard, and Li Shehu as the city captain.
In addition, there were 8,000 commando mobile troops led by Li Yuanzhi and Zheluo, and 500 naval troops in the hands of Zhou Tai, who was far away in the Bohai Bay.
This is all the strength in Fang Zhiwen's hands now, with a total population of nearly two million, he has 56,000 cavalry, 30,000 heavy crossbow infantry and 500 sailors.
This is obviously not possible, the burden is too heavy.
In a town with a population of more than 500,000, it is barely enough to raise 10,000 cavalry, and it is not very uncomfortable to have 10,000 more infantry, in a prosperous city like Miyun City, it is no problem to have more infantry, but even if you calculate it like this, Fang Zhiwen can raise 40,000 cavalry at most.
Moreover, now that the war is slowing down, it will be somewhat difficult to rely on the war dividends to feed the war, and it will be next spring. The war may enter a stage of all-out defense, and at that time, it will be purely expenditures and no returns, and this kind of loss-making business cannot be done, especially if a force is even more unable to do it. If you do, you may go bankrupt.
Therefore, Fang Zhiwen decided to sell the county governance in his hand, to be honest, there is no limit to how big Fang Zhiwen's jurisdiction is, from the rules, as long as Fang Zhiwen occupies the territory, and then declares the county governance and officials to the imperial court in accordance with the rules, and attaches the gold of the corresponding official rank by the way. Everything is legal.
If no one has any objections, Fang Zhiwen will extend the jurisdiction all the way to Fuyu or Wusun, and it is estimated that there will be no problems, anyway, the Son of Heaven who sits in the palace to collect money has obtained a vast amount of land and taxes. He can sell a large number of official positions, he is not dissatisfied, the only thing to worry about is that Fang Zhiwen will have some high achievements at that time.
Of course, this is not possible. Because Fang Zhiwen does not have this ability, the majority of players will not agree that Fang Zhiwen dominates the grassland, and the vast number of aboriginal forces will not agree that Fang Zhiwen is dominating the north, and the wise brain is greatly estimated that they will not wait to see the appearance of such a super powerful character. Influence the progress and development of the game.
Therefore, Fang Zhiwen also consciously restrained his ambitions. Fang Zhiwen's top priority is not how big the stall is. On the contrary, it should be to concentrate the strength and practice the internal strength higher, so high that no one can gnaw at Fang Zhiwen's power.
Therefore, Fang Zhiwen focused his main energy on Fengning City in the west and Chifeng Town in the east, with these two key points in the east-west direction, Fang Zhiwen grasped the strategic initiative, and then, divided a part of the territory, on the one hand, from the flank to add pressure to Xianbei and Wuhuan in the east, and formed a horn trend with Fengning and Chifeng.
On the other hand, if the player's territory wants to develop, it will also face the population problem, and asking for the population from the Hu is the most reasonable and lowest-cost solution, you know, it is impossible for the Hu people to live for a long time, otherwise they will not be called nomads, so even if you know that the Han people are watching, in the spring, the Hu people have to go separately to graze, at that time, it is a good time for the Han army to go to plunder.
After Chifeng was upgraded to a second-level town, Fang Zhiwen left Li Shuhu in Chifeng to assist Duan Zigang in active defense to the east of Chifeng, Yuwen Boyan had already set off for Miyun City to garrison, and Fang Zhiwen took Zheluo, as well as Li Xueyin and Zhen Ergongzi, as well as more than 100,000 residents who were taken away from Chifeng, to Fengning City together.
After staying in Chifeng for three days, Zhen Ergongzi didn't even have the time to say a word to Fang Zhiwen, Fang Zhiwen was quite embarrassed about this, people took huge risks, and they ran back and forth from a long distance, but they didn't even talk to him properly.
"Zhen Gongzi, it's been really hard these days."
For Fang Zhiwen's apology, Zhen Ergongzi didn't appreciate it, even Xiao Ning beside him rolled his eyes, looking very unacceptable, while Li Xueyin and Xiangxiang were squinting and watching the excitement.
"Your Excellency is polite, I told your adult last time, our Zhen family has agreed to the proposal of marriage, and my sister has also agreed to this matter, when does Lord Fang think this matter will be officially handled?"
Fang Zhiwen looked at Li Xueyin with some embarrassment, Li Xueyin twisted her head to the other side, and Xiangxiang looked at Fang Zhiwen curiously, it seemed that she was the most supportive of this marriage.
"I don't actually know much about this, what should I do?"
"Hehe, you don't have to do it, you explain this matter to Tian Chou, he will naturally find someone to vacate, as long as you choose a good day."
Zhen Ergongzi's eyes were bright, and he didn't know if it was because of excitement, and two blushes rose on his face.
"Oh my days! I was going to start spring next year, but now it seems that spring will not be easy, or just around the New Year, will it be in time? ”
Fang Zhiwen hesitated for a while, feeling that this was already like this, what was the point of hesitating, so he decided to cut through the mess quickly, whatever, whatever, anyway, he is a big beauty, marry into the house first, in this era, it is normal for a big husband to have three wives and four concubines, do you want to do so much!?
"This is still after the New Year, pick an auspicious day, our family will gradually move the clansmen to Miyun City before the year, the time is a little tight, we will do it after the New Year, so it's decided1
"Well, I will explain to Tian Chou to prepare this matter in Miyun, in fact, I also want to get married as soon as possible, I don't get married, and my subordinates don't want to start a family1
Fang Zhiwen didn't know whether to explain this to himself, or to Xiangxiang or Li Xueyin, anyway, it sounded like this explanation was a bit of a mouthful, Fang Zhiwen felt a little embarrassed after speaking, and Xiangxiang smiled very weirdly.
Zhen Ergongzi took it for granted, and nodded with affection, looking at Fang Zhiwen's eyes with extra affection and flattery, because as soon as these words came out, the two were relatives, but his intimacy, Fang Zhiwen was a little unbearable.
Fang Zhiwen glanced around, felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, and quickly pulled away the topic: "By the way, Gongsun Chan has already agreed to withdraw from the Haoshan camp, but the Haoshan camp must be held in our hands, I don't want any strangers to collude with Gongsun Chan in the future and make ghosts behind our backs, so, Zhen Gongzi, I want to hand over the construction of this Haoshan camp to your Zhen family, of course, the price to be paid will also be paid, what do you think?" ”
The second son of Zhen glanced at Fang Zhiwen charmingly: "The adult's account is very clear, but this is also the meaning of the right, the Zhen family is too late to be grateful, the Haoshan camp is built by the water, the land is fertile, and the south is close to the Yuyang Fortress, and it is not far from Yuyang, it is the key point of the south and the north, and it is a good place." ”
"Hehe, don't worry, there will still be discounts, I heard that your father once served as a county commander, I believe that there should be no problem in running the Haoshan camp, but militarily, the Haoshan camp can only be equipped with one battalion of infantry troops, and the commander must also be appointed and dismissed by me, is this acceptable?"
When it comes to serious things, Li Xueyin will no longer pretend not to hear, but listen carefully to the bargaining between Fang Zhiwen and Zhen Ergongzi, fortunately, Fang Zhiwen was not carried away by the beauty, and he still knows what to do and what not to do.
Zhen's second son didn't mind Fang Zhiwen's statement at all, Fang Zhiwen's statement was of course to prevent the Zhen family from becoming bigger and forming a situation where the tail would not fall, and similarly, the Zhen family didn't want to arouse Fang Zhiwen's vigilance, after all, the daughter of the Zhen family was Fang Zhiwen's first wife, and Fang Zhiwen had also said before, after Zhen Jiang passed the door, he would continue to be in charge of Fang Zhiwen's business affairs, with such a relationship, there was no need for the Zhen family to seek military support, because the interests of the Zhen family had been tied to Fang Zhiwen, It is a close community of interests.
"Of course, my lord, don't forget, we are in-laws, so naturally we should avoid suspicion from the beginning, so our Zhen family will not do anything about the integration of military and political affairs, however, there are a few generals in our Zhen family who hope to serve under adults, I don't know if it is okay?"
"Absolutely! It's just that when you enter the army, you have to be bound by military law, and when the time comes, don't blame me for not being emotional, everything else is easy to say, only military law is absolutely not emotional. ”
Fang Zhiwen said solemnly, this is his bottom line, and he must not step over, even if it is his wife and relatives.
"I understand! Since it has been handed over to adults, then life and death are in the hands of adults, and our Zhen family still understands this. ”
"Excellent! In this way, the matter of Haoshan camp will be basically solved, and the population will be "
"There is no need for adults to worry about this, we have a large number of people in Jizhou who want to come to the Saiwai with their families, and they are just going to the Haoshan camp."
"Oh? Won't the family over there in Jizhou say anything? ”
"We sold the land to them cheaply, and besides, the shops in Miyun still have their share, and in the future, the Haoshan camp can also introduce some Jizhou forces."
Fang Zhiwen's eyes rolled, and he already understood the plan of the deafening son, he borrowed someone else's cattle and did not plan to pay it back, in the future, Fang Zhiwen had the final say in the Haoshan camp, in other words, the Zhen family had the final say, even if it was the Jizhou clan, it would not be able to make any waves.
Fang Zhiwen looked sideways slightly, looked at Li Xueyin, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, Li Xueyin glared at him, nodded slightly, Fang Zhiwen's eyes were asking Li Xueyin, whether Zhen Ergongzi's words were true, Fang Zhiwen wanted to judge from this, whether the Zhen family had completely shifted their focus to Miyun and Fengning.
"Well, as long as you all have a plan, are the generals you just said the two who kidnapped you last time, call them to Fengning as soon as possible, I have the right manpower."
"Well, 1 is to be continued.
