Yan Hanshui is indeed a little hungry, and there is really a lot of meat in this place, so she is also happy. After the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info gnawed on a large piece of mutton, Yan Hanshui began to communicate with Yang Xigu again. "Time, population, war potential." Yan Hanshui wrote these three words first, after all, no matter how powerful the generals are in this era, they will not think of these things. It can be said that this is the transcendent knowledge of the traverser itself, even if no one teaches it, he understands it.

One example, political education. This thing was completely blank in ancient times, but how many modern people don't understand it? Even if you don't know the propaganda of the TG political commissar, there are so many people who engage in pyramid schemes in China, and there are a few people who don't know how to control people's hearts. These things are much more reliable than any uprising by relying on gods or anything like that in ancient times, and this is the advantage of the traverser.

Yang Zhengu definitely didn't understand this, so he first pointed to the word time: "What does this mean, can you explain it one by one?" ”

"Naturally......" Yan Hanshui meowed twice. Then began to write: "Anxi and Beiting have been separated for ten years, but this is definitely not the end, it is just the beginning. We must be prepared for a long confrontation with Tibet in these two places, both materially and financially. ”

"Hmm...... We have prepared for at least five years of grain and grass in each city. Yang Xinggu thought for a moment and replied.

"To form an internal circulation, I am already familiar with the strategy of the Tibetans against us, that is, the small city attacks the big city and besieges it. Because time is on the side of Tibet, when I came, Shazhou was still in Shazhou except for Shazhou City, and most of the remaining towns fell into the hands of Tibet. There is no shortage of food and drink in Shazhou now, but what about five or ten years from now? ”

"The trauma caused by the civil strife in the Central Plains will take at least several generations to recover. And we...... Can't wait. Now Beiting has not been attacked by Tubo because Shazhou City is still there. When the Tibetans have completely digested Shazhou, the next step is definitely to besiege us here. The population of Beiting is not as large as that of Shazhou, and the Tubo may encircle and attack at the same time. Yan Hanshui said it very bluntly, which made Yang Zhengu fall into deep thought.

After a while, Yang Xinggu continued to ask: "Okay, I understand the time, but what about the population?" ”

"Population, in fact, is also related to time. Because the population of our Datang is too small. Although Yan Hanshui said it in Tianshuigou, she still patiently explained it here.

Yan Hanshui wrote a 7,000 household by hand, and Yang Xinggu understood that this was the total population of Beiting. Yan Hanshui continued: "In the entire North Garden, there are about 20,000 soldiers, but the population will not exceed 40,000 at most. It is almost impossible to feed 20,000 soldiers with 40,000 civilians. Of course, after all, there are trade reasons, you generals are more or less doing business with the Hui and some other forces, plus the soldiers are also involved in farming, so the food and grass are barely enough. ”

"However, just because we have enough food, grass and manpower now does not mean that we will have enough in the future. I said earlier that time will change a lot of things, like another twenty years. As this generation of soldiers grows old, how can we replenish the new combat strength from these 40,000 or so civilians? I am afraid that by then our available combat strength will drop from 20,000 to 4,000 or 5,000, because the population base is too low. "Yang Xingu didn't think about it, after all, who would have thought about it twenty years later.

However, now that Yan Hanshui has been brought up, Yang Xingu naturally has to think carefully. The thought didn't matter, and he suddenly sweated on his head. "You, you're right... I'm afraid that in another twenty or Chinese New Year's Eve years, Tibet will no longer need to attack, and when we are old, it will be good to occupy this place directly. But... But how to solve the population, it is too difficult. Yang Xinggu immediately asked Yan Hanshui, because he also knew that this was the most important question.

Yan Hanshui meowed twice, "That's what I want to do, plunder the population." Although it would be disgraceful for Datang to do this, what if I didn't use the banner of Datang? Kindness... Is there a map? ”

Soon, a simple map was placed in front of Yan Hanshui. Yan Hanshui took a closer look, and then pointed to the area above the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate: "There are still three big forces here, one is Hui Hui, who has a good relationship with us. One is a part of the ten Turks who are temporarily under our orders, and the last is an enemy, Qarluq! "When it comes to this Qarluq, there is nothing that the Tang people don't hate. In the war between Gao Xianzhi and Da Shi back then, if it wasn't for Ge Lulu's betrayal, Da Tang would not have been defeated by Da Shi.

It's a pity that now on the side of Beiting, Datang's self-protection has become a problem, and naturally he has no ability to take revenge on this enemy who betrayed Datang. "The Hui don't have a main force here, they are biased towards the Central Plains. However, Qarluq is on the northern side of the Altai Mountains, and we are inaccessible and do not have the ability to attack. But fortunately, there is a plate of scattered ten Turks as a good place to open the knife...."Yan Hanshui nodded at that location.

"But the ten Turks have already taken refuge in us after all." Yang Zhengu said to Yan Hanshui.

Yan Hanshui wrote with his paws: "This is the reason why I said that it is not in the Datang system, I said earlier that population is the biggest drawback of our future development." As long as we annex and ten Turks, and then kill Qarluq, we can at least get hundreds of thousands of people to replenish. ”

Yang Zhengu shook his head: "Those barbarians, how can they join the Tang Dynasty." Those who are not of my race will have different hearts, and even if they are forced to join, they will rebel sooner or later. ”

"So we're going to merge...", Smoke Meow meowed, leaking a pair of sharp teeth.

"Fusion?" Yang attacked the ancient unknown.

The smoke cold water cat nodded its head and continued to write on the words. To tell the truth, for a while, the ground was already covered with smoke and cold water, and the conversation with Yang Zhengu: "Kill the man, or join the army and send him to death." Women and children are sent to our cities to study and live, and no adult male in Datang must marry a woman in four or five rooms, so that in a few decades there will be no shortage of our population. ”

"Of course, those women and children must learn the language and writing of the Tang Dynasty and erase all their past traditions. It only takes two generations later, and there is no difference from the Datang people. For those races that have blended in, all they need to do is destroy their beliefs and their writing. "Yan Hanshui naturally understands this, after all, it is a very practical method.

Yang Xinggu said to himself: "Leave only women and children, destroy their beliefs, and destroy their writing." You female doll, you have such a vicious heart. ”

Yan Hanshui shouted a few times unsatisfied: "I am from the Tang Dynasty, what does the life and death of other races have to do with me?" Yang Duhu, think about it yourself, if one day Tubo captures Beiting and Anxi. Civilians may not go back to kill, but can the beliefs and words of the Tang Dynasty still be preserved? At that time, everyone will speak the Tibetan dialect, and in a few decades, who here will remember that there was once a country called Datang? ”

Yang Xingu sighed: "That's right, but how can you do this kind of thing as a woman?" ”

"How do you know if you don't try? Well, the first two are finished, in fact, these are related to the last item and also related to the war potential. War, no money, no food, how to fight? And money and food are created by people. After Yan Hanshui finished writing this sentence, he didn't write anything more. It's been written for hours, and the cat's paws have long been numb.

However, Yang Zhengu fell into contemplation, and little by little accepted those strange terms and cross-era thoughts of Yan Hanshui.
