The electrical calendar is 663 to 664.

Lu Ming carried out everything very smoothly in the north, (Shafeng Group) 420,000 tons of cement was unloaded in Bogang Port, and then relied on the natural rivers and waterways of the northern land, all the way to the newly built residential areas, forming a bungalow-based, like the county town at the end of the 20th century, and at the same time, the Beituo Group also used these waterways to export a large number of logs to balance trade.

In this way, the settlements of the four cities were quickly established, and the total area of the agricultural economic zone that Lu Ming mastered on the basis of these four cities reached 70,000 square kilometers, and because this agricultural economic zone was an impact plain area along the river, the total appearance looked like the palm of the hand, and it could rely on the fertile land of mechanized farming.

Of course, militarily it is impossible to only defend the economic zone, and the Tubei group now controls 300,000 square kilometers militarily.

[And on the general strategy map]

South of Beiling, north of Yanbei Pass, and east of Haobei Plateau, although the total area is 1.3 million square kilometers, most of them are mountains, and the land that can be cultivated is about 150,000-200,000 square kilometers.

The economic system that Tuobei Group will rely on in the future is the primary industry. Of course, if the primary industry is large enough, it will naturally be able to accumulate a high enough industrial economic system.

So now it seems that although the territory under Lü Ming's current control is generally small, according to the agricultural areas he now controls, the proportion of expansion in the northern territory should be 60 to 700,000 square kilometers.

This is because Lü Ming is now a newcomer, and strategically he only grasps the focus of the agricultural area, and has not been able to unleash all his military forces.

And if it were all unfolded, it would be in conflict with the local nomadic forces.

Of course, from another point of view, as long as the local nomadic forces are subdued militarily. Then, economically, a model of exchanging animal husbandry products for light industrial products was formed. It can be said that the Tuobei group can immediately expand its territory and form a huge force that extends to the Haobei Plateau, with a total area of three or four million square kilometers.

Because: under the modern economy, the nomadic economy is destined to rely on the urban economy, all kinds of light industrial products can only be produced in the city, and if you want to upgrade the primitive nomadic herding to efficient large pasture grazing, you must also rely on the help of industrial areas.

Agricultural ethnic groups usually take grain as the key link, and when they encounter a bad year, the output drops by one or two percent, and they feel distressed for a whole year. But you have to understand the loss of primitive nomadism, hehe, in which year does the livestock not lose fat in the winter, and do not freeze to death a large number? The heart has long been numb.

Only the industrial forces could help the nomads stop the situation, first by building railways, transporting large quantities of building materials, building stable brick and tile houses for winter, transporting fuel, and ensuring that the survival rate of all livestock in winter increased.

In addition, before the arrival of winter, most of the nomadic herders' autumn fat livestock are directly consumed through trade, so as not to be left in the hands of the herders. Herders have only the ewes and lambs in their hands, and the need for hoarded pasture is reduced in winter. The above two can greatly improve the yield of grassland, not to mention the higher operations such as artificial cultivation of pasture grass and aircraft to control insect pests.

So nomads in the industrial age can only be attached to industrial civilization. If the connection is completely severed, it can be worse than the poorest part of the agricultural area in an instant.

Therefore, Su Ying gave Lu Ming the strategy of setting the north - military conquest, trade order to bind all tribal groups, and at the same time use mining shares to buy the local upper class (that is, to hire the local upper class to be the mine security).

……

Domination is the establishment of an order, an order that is recognized by all parties. Of course, I have to mention the two major interest groups within Lu Ming's group.

There are now two interest groups within the Tuobei Group.

The first group is the Sisi, who come from a foreign country, and after the destruction of the country by Taiyun, these soldiers are led by the generals to go into the cold mountains and seek refuge, which is simply funny. Hanshan didn't want them, and when they were rootless, they obeyed the order to follow Lu Ming out of the customs.

The second group is the Hanmen Group in Hanshan, and there are 17 median professionals in production and 11 median professionals in combat positions at the core of the Lv Ming Group. Seventy percent of them are poor disciples from their families. When he was a teenager, he was helped by Lu Ming, and as Lu Ming now has the qualifications of a feudal official, he brought a large number of disciples from the poor sect to serve.

For the Sisi, they made full use of their desire to settle down and the little thought of "returning to the old country" after food and clothing. Su Ying formulated a series of systems such as the homestead law and the evaluation of military merits.

In response to those poor families, Su Ying took advantage of their spirit of wanting to restore the glory of their families and formulated a fair but mutually supervised cold door politics.

The external strategy of Lv Ming Group is clear and clear, and all parties in the internal are highly united. - Su Ying: "This so-called victory over the imperial court, next, you just ride your face." ”

Well, Su Ying didn't say these witty things to Lu Ming, as an excellent 'military auxiliary system', Su Ying wanted to help Lu Ming lay a solid foundation.

[July 21, 664 in the Electric Calendar, on the fourth floor of the military fortress in Koding Castle]

A four-meter-large military map is laid out on the table, and the content of this military map is extremely detailed.

Rivers, for example, indicate not only the location of each river, but also the places where each river can be crossed due to the shallow water produced by the season.

These details mean that this map is not only drawn by drones and field monitoring, but also a large number of personnel are sent to draw and investigate in the field.

Being able to successfully draw this map within a year shows that Tuobei Group is now in a prosperous situation. Each department is able to complete tasks actively and efficiently.

Now that Lu Ming lowered his head and studied the map for a full hour, Su Ying Guangling sat on Lu Ming's epaulettes, crossed his legs gracefully, and asked, "Hey, have you figured out how to fight?" ”

The reason why Lu Ming is thinking now is not because it is not easy to fight, but because it is too easy to fight, and it can be destroyed and swept away casually.

And the reason why he is thinking now is because Su Ying asked, "You just fought like this, have you thought about the layout of this area after the fight?" You're not going to leave the territory behind. ”

Therefore, Lu Ming is now studying the forces of various tribes on the grassland.

According to Su Yingguangling,

After the war, the grasslands were divided into sections, and each tribe was limited to a fixed territory, and the railroad communicated the various territories so that they did not have to run around economically.

And the most troublesome thing for the nomadic civilization is that they are nomadic and defeat a large tribe, and their remnants will be swallowed up by other tribes in the nomadic pasture, thus creating new large tribes. And after demarcating the territory for them,

Let the various ministries depend on the turf for their survival, and it will not be easy to merge. When the pastures became the private property of each household, even the tribal leaders could not easily allow people from other tribes to come and join the river.

If the tribes want to merge, they must first grab a piece of grassland, and in this case, when dividing the grassland, the robbed tribe will definitely divide less, and then there will be resistance and it will not be easy to merge.

Su Ying: "This is called a change in economic thinking, which determines the change of the political concept of the upper class, and wants to solve the grassland problem once and for all, not to kill, but to make its politics never form a core other than the Tuobei Group through economic means." ”

In Su Hong's memory, Britain and France ruled the huge colony, and this is how they played.

And where has the young Lu Ming seen this kind of method, after hearing Su Ying's inquiry, Lu Ming straightened up and asked Su Ying humbly: "Father, teach me." ”

Su Ying jumped down from his shoulder, raised his finger and said: "First: In this war, first of all, don't fall into the misunderstanding of how many enemies you kill, and give priority to avoid falling into the quagmire of war." You now have 40,000 troops under your command, but throwing yourself into the Haobei Plateau and fighting a scattered chase battle will quickly wear out the spirit of your army.

Moreover, this kind of fragmented combat not only does not help large-scale group warfare technology, but even reduces the coordination of your army's regular warfare. And all the wars that determine the big cities of economically developed regions need to be laid by large armies, so, well, the gains outweigh the losses, you know! ”

Lu Ming nodded, and then said, "So, thousands of elite soldiers are needed. ”

Su Ying shook his head and walked on the map: "Eight hundred people are enough, six hundred of the eight hundred people are non-front-line combat members, used to operate light trucks to ensure wartime support such as baggage, cooking, and medical care, and the combat troops are you and your Dragon Guard team, running thousands of miles and smashing directly here." ”

Su Wei stood on a grassland near the east on the Haobei Plateau, which is the grassland where the various tribes bring their livestock for the winter every year, and it is also the grassland where the major tribes will meet.

Su Ying said silently in his heart: "Kill the order, seal the wolf Juxu." ”

Then Su Ying pointed to the air base in the distance on the map, and said loudly: "Don't worry about the lack of firepower, let the air force be ready, you are the Great Wall, and your field is not only for detection, but also for calling for rear firepower in wartime." ”

Then Su Ying's gaze turned to the Haobei Plateau, and said in a strong voice: "After defeating their alliance system, some of these tribal leaders will inevitably move closer to us, let's pick a few of the most cooperative ones, divide the eastern grasslands for them, and at the same time here, here, and here." You're going to build a fortress fortress (it's all the borders of fiefdoms, and there's no doubt that a fortress is meant to be divided).

At the same time, we hired tribesmen to build railroads and form trading cities under our control. And then it went on and so forth. ”

In the hall, Lu Ming took a deep breath, because Su Ying's narration made him quite proud. Since ancient times, nomads have always frequently moved south, and small groups have harassed, and there has never been such an initiative to establish order today.

And Su Ying changed the topic: "However, if you want to take Haobei, there is still one party that has to be guarded." ”

Lu Ming paused.

Su Ying pointed further north and said in a low voice, "Hela." ”

[Yes, the Hella people are in the northern cold zone, and the Hella people, whose own cultural system is more barbaric, are easier to dock with the nomads in terms of the ruling system]

Because the system is more in line with each other, it is the Hella people who control the Haobei Plateau, not the countries of the Eastern Continent that control the Haobei Plateau. Taiyun is so strong, it only builds a long line of fortress defense, but cannot establish effective rule over the Haobei Plateau.

Speaking of the Hella people, Lu Ming couldn't help but be surprised.

Su Ying said: "Because of the cultural and institutional compatibility, this has allowed the Hella people to control the nomads of the Haobei Plateau for nearly a thousand years, this war, in essence, is ultimately a contest between us and the Hella people in all aspects, we must put an end to the interference of the Hella people militarily, and put the Haobei Plateau into our orbit economically, culturally and institutionally." The Hela people have been your number one enemy for nearly a decade. ”

Su Ying pointed in the direction of Taiyun on the map: "In the next ten years, you have to focus on this side," and then glanced south, and said, "Don't expect them to help you." ”

Facing the father who had planned for decades, Lu Ming nodded seriously at this time. However, Su Ying: "You don't want to stop Taiyun on the frontal battlefield. ”

Lu Ming was stunned and looked up at Su Ling.

Su Ying looked at him and smiled and asked, "What kind of national strength is Taiyun, do you need me to continue to repeat it for you?" ”

Lu Ming couldn't help but be dumbfounded, of course he knew Taiyun's national strength, before Pengzhi's technology got up, there were more than a dozen Great Wall, more than 20 generals, 1,000 heavy tanks (main battle tanks), and 10,000 light tanks.

Lu Ming humbly asked, "How to stop Taiyun from advancing eastward?" ”

Su Ying said lightly: "Taiyun's eastward annexation is the trend of the times and unstoppable. However, before Lu Ming's face turned pale, Su Ying's tone gave him a hint of hope.

Su Ying: "Under the general trend, I have a way for you to save the opportunity and wait for the opportunity." ”

Lu Ming asked for advice.

Su Ying: "First, naturally you have to know the current affairs, when Taiyun destroys the cold mountain, the above table is called a minister." ”

"Slap" Lu Ming interrupted indignantly: "Impossible, impossible." ”

Su Ying's tone was not affected at all, as if he didn't hear Lu Ming's anger and continued: "The above table is a minister, and he is willing to replace the Taiyun Monarch to guard the north. ”

After ten seconds of stagnation.

Lu Ming broke the silence and asked, "Is it gone?" ”

Su Ying glanced at him: "If you want to continue listening, then listen to me." ”

Lu Ming hesitated and nodded.

Su Ying walked to the Haobei Plateau and said loudly: "In the past ten years, if you really run a system here, you will have the capital to negotiate with Taiyun." Because,"

The light spirit walked around the border of the Haobei Plateau on the map

"From the plateau down, here is a flat river, strategically easy to attack and difficult to defend." And all your core economic zones are in the northeast corner of the continent. Taiyun attacks your northeast corner from south to north. The national power of Ethercloud can be taken down. But if you are in a hurry, go around the Haobei Plateau and cut off southward. It will bring heavy losses to the economy of the Heyuan area.

So for Taiyun, if they fight you, it is not a profitable war, if you are a minister, accept their county system, and accept their canonization, it is within the bottom line of Taiyun's royal court, if someone among them carries out military action against you, it is a profit and loss choice. ”

Lu Ming: "But it's ...... like this" - this kind of surrender without a fight makes Lu Ming very unwilling.

Su Ying raised his palm to stop Lu Ming: "Lu Ming, tell me, what do you think is the fortune of Taiyun Country?" ”

Lu Ming paused and was puzzled: "Taiyun has been a country for 5,000 years, and the country is extremely prosperous at this time. ”

Su Ying: "You also know that his country is extremely powerful and his destiny is high, so now, why are you obsessed with fighting against him at his peak?" ”

Su Ying simply sat down in the Heyuan area on the map, sighed and said: "This is the general trend of the world, Taiyun came into being at this time, the great unification is the destiny of heaven, and disobedience is against the sky." You, the land north of Yanshan and several counties, have only a trickle of talents compared to this world, how can you go against the current.

But even if Taiyun occupies the will of heaven, there will be moments when luck is exhausted and weak, and it is difficult to wear a shirt at the end of the strong crossbow. After sweeping the world, a group of generals with great military achievements, the Chaoming royal family must need a counterbalance force, and when the time comes, it will inevitably compromise with the world's corporal clan. At that time......"

Su Ying shook his head and looked down at the map: "The order will be distorted in the tug-of-war, and there is no constant national character in this world. Now you have to hide Rui Naxian, Mingxiu's internal affairs. Don't worry, you're still young, and the times will give you a chance. ”
