There are many things that Zhang Jiashi would like to do now, but unfortunately, Zhang Jiashi knows very well how big the threat of the Huns is. Therefore www.biquge.info after Zhang Jiashi ended the chaos in the Central Plains, he had to focus on basically adjusting the focus of everything to the combat arrangements corresponding to the Xiongnu.

A big war will inevitably break out between Qin and Hungary in the next two or three years, or in the spring of this year.

When it broke out, Zhang Jiashi didn't know, because he was not a roundworm in Maodun's stomach, and it was impossible to know whether Maodun would make up for the heavy losses caused by the cold climate this winter, and invade the Great Qin Empire on a large scale, or would it still follow the original plan, first destroy and annex Donghu, enhance the national strength of the Huns, and then fight a decisive battle with the Great Qin Empire.

But no matter what, Zhang Jiashi knows one thing very well, that is, in terms of the current strength of the Huns, although the overall national strength of the Huns has been seriously damaged because of the cold climate, it is undeniable that the Huns still occupy the initiative at the moment.

Zhang Jiashi really wanted to take advantage of such an opportunity to fight for heavy losses and bring an active blow to the Huns. But after thinking about it for a while, Zhang Jiashi finally gave up this tempting but unrealizable idea. Because neither he nor the Great Qin Empire has yet to prepare accordingly in this regard.

A rash attack on the Xiongnu is likely to only give the officers and soldiers who go out on the expedition a devastating blow of being surrounded and annihilated by the Huns. And this kind of loss, not to mention that the military cannot afford it, but also that Zhang Jiashi and the Great Qin Empire cannot bear it.

After all, the officers and men under Zhang Jiashi's command can be regarded as uneven in the current period, and the troops deployed in the border areas can be said to occupy at least one-half of the number of troops under Zhang Jiashi's main force. If these forces are lost because of rash attacks, then for follow-up operations, it will inevitably make Zhang Jiashi and the Great Qin Empire more passive, and even unable to deal with many aspects of the battlefield.

Such a result is not what Zhang Jiashi wants to see.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi had to continue to "pretend to be a turtle". After all, strengthening the defense system in the border areas can also be said to be a relatively passive, but perhaps effective, means.

Zhang Jiashi did not know what the Huns would plan, and the few spies within the Huns that had developed in the past few years did not convey useful information about this. This made Zhang Jiashi very helpless, but he had no way to change such a result, because he didn't want to let himself and Chen Ping be others because of a moment of radicalism. The corresponding deployment in the past few years has come to naught.

Perhaps the existence of these spies did not play the role expected by Zhang Jiashi and others. But it's better than having these spies disposed of by the Huns.

Zhang Jiashi knew very well how much influence intelligence operations had on the outcome of the war, and so did Chen Ping. Therefore, only a very small number of people know about the existence of these spies, and among the high-level personnel of the Great Qin Empire, even Li Xin probably knows that the Great Qin Empire has bought the Huns as the corresponding details, but he doesn't know who these people are.

He didn't wonder why Zhang Jiashi didn't tell him this kind of thing, and he didn't complain about anything, after all, he himself knew very well the importance of these personnel and the key to the possibility of making the outcome of the war a major opportunity.

......

And in contrast to the question of intelligence. The Great Qin Empire's troop movements in such two or three months, although it is said that they were also seriously affected because of the severe cold weather. However, with the last army from Hanzhong County, arriving at the garrison of Yunzhong County on February 5, 201 BC, Zhang Jiashi's troop mobilization plan came to an end.

It's just that having a large number of troops stationed on the frontier is also a very heavy pressure on the Great Qin Empire.

Zhang Jiashi did not know what the corresponding consumption of these mobilized troops would be if the Huns did not attack along the Great Wall in the spring. But now that the deployment has been completed, it is too late for Zhang Jiashi to regret it.

Fortunately, with the development of many areas of the Great Qin Empire in recent years, Zhang Jiashi's reserves in this area are quite sufficient.

Perhaps in terms of ordnance, Zhang Jiashi is worried about the problem of production capacity, but one thing cannot be denied, that is, the current military production capacity is for the entire Great Qin Emperor. It can be regarded as being able to meet the basic needs, but because of the temporary lack of production capacity, the expansion of the military will lead to more problems in the future. Such a situation is not what Zhang Jiashi wants to see.

This is like hoarding, once too much is hoarded and the corresponding goods cannot be digested, then it is often the speculators themselves who suffer.

The same is true for the production of weapons, the production of which may be insufficient due to special circumstances, but it is better to have a shortage than to have an abundance. Zhang Jiashi didn't want to have a headache because of the mountains of weapons that were piled up, but there was no place to use them, and what should he do with these weapons.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

In the winter of 202 BC to 201 BC, Zhang Jiashi not only focused a lot of energy on military mobilization, but also made corresponding adjustments to the Xiongnu issue, which was mainly civilian.

There are three main civil issues.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Jiashi decided to relocate the civilians or convicts of the original border Tuntian District to the second-tier areas of these corresponding counties and counties to open up a Tuntian area.

This kind of project is huge, and it requires the cooperation of many parties to achieve a successful result. And once there is a problem in a certain link, then it is still a small problem whether this Tuntian District can be created, so that these civilians and prisoners can riot, this problem Zhang Jiashi finds difficult to accept.

Of course, for Zhang Jiashi, the importance of these tuntian areas is not strictly so a priority, because these tuntian areas may not be able to achieve a surplus in the first year of development or in the next two or three years. Of course, although these tuntian areas could not achieve a surplus during such a period of time, they could be regarded as reducing the corresponding grain loss, and this problem was also an effective deployment to reduce the corresponding pressure for the Great Qin Empire.

In these tuntian areas, Zhang Jiashi naturally values not the gains and losses in a short period of time, but the long-term development, these tuntian areas are very likely to reduce the pressure of grain transportation in the hinterland, and even effectively provide the corresponding needs of the troops who conquer the Xiongnu in the future.

Such a situation is what Zhang Jiashi wants to see. After all, the cost of conquering the Xiongnu is really not a small number. Zhang Jiashi naturally didn't want his Great Qin Empire to be weakened like the Han Empire in the late Han Dynasty.

In Zhang Jiashi's corresponding planning, these tuntian districts are mainly concentrated in three areas.

The first area is the plain area located in the north of Yanshan, which is used as a tuntian area, which is not unique in a sense, at least compared to the Liaohe grain producing area and the Dukang area in the south of Yanshan, the agricultural foundation of this area is not very good.

But this place is a relatively important military area. Zhang Jiashi used this area as the Tuntian District, and the most important thing was to value the support factors of this area for the Great Wall in the north of Yan County.

Although this area is located in the south-central part of Yan County. However, since the road to the north to the Great Wall is not too rough, the development of the Tuntian area in this area can also be regarded as an effective relay point to support the defense system of the Great Wall of Yan County.

Out of this consideration, Zhang Jiashi naturally would not let the importance of this place be ignored.

As of February 15, 201 B.C., a note from the Yanjun authorities stated that the foundation of the Tuntian district north of Yanshan had been laid, but it would be impossible to make the area surplus within two years unless it was a bumper harvest.

Zhang Jiashi looked at the note jointly signed by Huan Su and Ximen Xin, and breathed a sigh of relief. Because the Tuntian area in the north of Yanshan is related to the key to many aspects of operations in the future, especially the corresponding area of Donghu, which is even more important.

However, due to the impact of severe cold weather, the development of the other two new tuntian areas has been quite slow. In other words, these two Tuntian districts themselves are not good places to develop the Tuntian area.

......

These two Tuntian districts. They are located in the original Yanmen County, Dai County, and now the central part of Jinbei County, mainly in Datong and nearby areas in later generations, and in the middle of Shangjun, Yan'an in later generations.

It is very difficult to develop the foundation of Tuntian in the two places. This is because the hydrological factors in the two places are relatively harsh.

Located in Xintuntian District, Jinbei County, the farmland and corresponding water conservancy facilities developed along the banks of the Yuhe River in later generations still have a corresponding foundation, but once the distance is far, then with the development of the current water conservancy system, it is better to use manpower directly if you want to get sufficient water supply.

The problem is even worse in the Tuntian area in the central part of the county, although the hydrological foundation in this area is not bad. But there is a very serious problem, that is, the saline land problem in this area is quite serious.

Zhang Jiashi had to admire the deeds of Nanniwan in later generations, because on such a problem, the other party could not dispatch as many resources as him.

However, in any case, according to the two corresponding notes, although the development of these two tuntian districts was very slow in this year (201 BC), it is undeniable that the development of these two tuntian districts has a corresponding foundation.

Zhang Jiashi believes that he has more manpower and material resources, and he will naturally be able to overcome the corresponding difficulties.

For Zhang Jiashi, the development of the three Tuntian districts was mainly to deal with the military aspect, and for the other civil issue, Zhang Jiashi established the corresponding foundation for the basic development of the Great Qin Empire, or in other words, carried out the corresponding restorative development.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

In the pre-Qin period, such as the Warring States Seven Heroes, each country had its own important grain-producing areas.

For example, the Guanzhong and Bashu Basins of the Qin State, the Heluo Plain of the Han and Wei Kingdoms, the Dukang Region of the Yan State, the Shandong Plain of the Qi State, the Jiangdong and Jingchu Plains of the Chu State, the Hebei Plain and the Taiyuan Basin of the Zhao State, and so on.

Zhang Jiashi knew very well that the Great Qin Empire was able to almost double its population in just a dozen years, so the effective use of these grain-producing areas, as well as the implementation of the cattle farming system to increase the amount of grain, can be said to be the most important positive factors.

Under Zhang Jiashi's governance in the past few years, although the utilization rate of these grain-producing areas is not high on average, this utilization rate is mainly dragged down by the problem of population loss and the degree of damage to infrastructure construction caused by the war.

Strictly speaking, Zhang Jiashi opened up the grain-producing areas of Liaoning County, and restored the corresponding development of important grain-producing areas such as the Dukang area, the Taiyuan Basin, the Guanzhong region and the Bashu Basin, and the gradual normal operation of these grain-producing areas became one of the important foundations for the Great Qin Empire to calm the world again.

If the situation of the grain-producing areas is divided into three, six, nine and so on, then the grain-producing areas of Liaoning County and the grain-producing areas of Guanzhong are the largest, especially the grain-producing areas of Guanzhong, although in the two or three years after Zhang Jiashi captured the Guanzhong region, Zhang Jiashi still needs to be "upside down" from other regions, but from the current situation, the grain-producing areas in Guanzhong have even reversed the grain-producing areas of Liaoning and occupied the first grain-producing area of the Great Qin Empire.

Of course, on average, the situation in the Guanzhong grain-producing areas is actually not too much, because the population base of the Guanzhong grain-producing areas is too large, and each household that cultivates the Qianshou gets relatively little agricultural land.

The situation in the Bashu Basin, Taiyuan Basin and Dukang area is secondary, because these three areas are mainly dragged down by population factors, and in many cases, these areas can develop a relative number of new fields, but unfortunately lack the corresponding cultivated population, resulting in a relatively low effective utilization rate of these new fields.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi doesn't think this is a bad thing, because this also shows that the farmland in the three regions still has a corresponding utilization rate, and the rice has to be eaten in one bite, and Zhang Jiashi does not plan to immigrate too much to these places, after all, the Great Qin Empire is really short of people now, and it is not a general lack of corresponding population base.

In the following areas, where Zhang Jiashi's recovery time was not short, but because the impact of the war was severe, and the population loss was more serious, the grain production rate in these areas was quite low, but it had begun to improve.

These areas are mainly represented by the Hebei Plain, the Heluo Plain and the Nanyang Basin.

Although this kind of grain-producing area originally had its own good foundation, due to the war and population problems, although Zhang Jiashi has carried out corresponding restoration and management of this area in the past few years, until now, it still does not make Zhang Jiashi think that there is a fundamental improvement......

Zhang Jiashi is still very optimistic about the situation in these areas, because this is not the worst, only worse.

Because compared to these areas......

In the situation in the newly attached area, Zhang Jiashi could only be silent...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. Chapter 2 The Development of the Empire (I) URL: .>
