"The cavalry of the two armies has now withdrawn to the Hetaotao, General Li Daozong is currently guarding Wuyuan County, and General Pei Renji is gradually cleaning up the remnants of Liang and Liu in the Hetao, and in three months at most, we can completely control the area in the Hetao. In the northern part of Shanxi, Li Mi is relying on the Turks to defend the land north of Taiyuan County...... Now, Wang Shichong is recruiting troops and buying horses, but the army under his command is unstable, and there are already many ministers who have secretly communicated with the envoys we sent, as for Dou Jiande, he did not have too many actions, only provided Wang Shichong with a large amount of food. ”

Wei Yunqi stood in front of the map, and pointed to the red areas on the map one after another, red, representing the territory of the Chinese Empire, and the other colors, representing the Central Plains Zhuxiong, a large area of other colors in the past, have now been dyed red by the blood of the soldiers of the Chinese Empire.

Wei Yunqi has withdrawn, Qu Tutong has also returned from Jiangnan, and Li Jing, the chief of staff of the Chinese Empire, has taken over Qu Tutong's position and is in charge of the war in the Jiangnan Theater. As for Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun, they are currently presiding over the Jianghuai War, and are fighting for the northern Jianghuai region with Fu Gongyi, holding Dou Jiande's army to the death, making it difficult for it to enter Shanxi westward, and creating conditions for the future Shanxi Theater of the Chinese Empire to cooperate with other military regions to seize the Heluo region.

In the south, Zong Luosui became the commander-in-chief of the Jingxiang Theater, staring at Wang Shichong in Henan, while stepping up the training and surrendering to Jingxiang. Since the retreat of the Turkic soldiers and horses, Han Shige also retreated to the hinterland of Shanxi, looking south of the Yellow River.

At this stage, after months of war, the soldiers are tired, and now it is gradually autumn, it is time to rest, anyway, Wang Shichong has now become a frightened bird, it is not a hindrance, as for Dou Jiande, he is in the land of Hebei and Shandong, plus Dou Jiande himself is a more tangled person, and there have been countless opportunities to enter the Central Plains in the past, but they have been destroyed by his own hesitation.

Now, the Chinese Renaissance Army has cut off its roads to Shanxi and Jianghuai, and Dou Jiande wants to plot against the Central Plains again, which has changed from a dream in the past to a delusion now.

"The most important thing is no longer the war, but how to restore the lives of the people in the newly occupied land to normal in the shortest possible time, Shanxi, Hetao area, and Jingxiang need a lot of food, bedding, and various daily necessities, in addition, this time the old pawns of various forces eliminated in various places have reached 500,000, and we have selected 210,000 people who are physically strong, and set up their own construction corps in these newly occupied places, building houses, roads, and repairing the city......"

"How much money is needed for all this?" I asked, furrowing my brow.

"Your Majesty, this year, you need to invest 1,200 yuan, and in the next two years, you will need about 5 million yuan per year...... In other words, over the course of three years, more than 22 million pounds were needed, including, of course, the sum of the value of all the materials such as grain, bedding, cloth, tools, and shelter. ”

Hearing this news, the ministers of civil and military affairs present couldn't help but take a long breath, this figure is equivalent to the tax revenue of about seven years in the past, and now, it is at least equivalent to the tax revenue of the Chinese Empire for one and a half years and nearly two years.

Fortunately, the tax revenue of the Chinese Empire has increased gratifyingly, otherwise, just to ensure the production and life of these newly occupied lands would be enough to ⊥ the court to break its muscles and bones.

This battle not only played the power of the Chinese Empire, but also shocked many people with ulterior motives, such as the Western Turks, who never thought that the Chinese Empire would be able to fight with many heroes in the Central Plains at the same time in such a short time.

The most important thing is that the Chinese Empire not only has a few enemies, but also won so heartily, which makes the Western Turks from the beginning ready to move, after seeing the changes in the situation in the Central Plains, they are very sensible and interesting, they are not fools, the strength is comparable to their Western Turks not only let the army of the Chinese Empire lead the nose, but also after the army was dispatched, brazenly took the two Han regimes that were protected, and also crippled another Han regime that was also protected.

Such a strong combat power made the Western Turkic nobles who originally supported and united in the invasion of the Central Plains and carved up the rich Central Plains within the Western Turks collectively silent.

After that, the Western Turkic ruler Yehu Khan made a wise choice and sent envoys to recognize the Chinese Empire's domination of the land of China, and hoped to increase trade between the two sides.

This is good, at least one hostile strong enemy can be reduced, which is very beneficial for the Chinese Empire, whose current goal is to recover the old land of the former dynasty. As for **, this time it's like a local dog being teased by the Chinese Empire with a meat bun, and it's completely led by the nose.

Even if his strength was not damaged, after losing the three forces in the north, it was even more difficult for him to set foot in and control the Central Plains.

This time, it can be said that it is completely an example of losing his wife and breaking his army. After Jieli Khan fled back to the area north of the Hetao, he knew that the iron cavalry of the Chinese Revival Army, which was attacking the Golden Horde, had fled back to the south of the Hetao, which made Jieli Khan secretly relieved and resentful at the same time.

It's completely led by the nose, and it's so awkward, one will run west and one will run east, one will run south and one will run north, completely treating yourself as a dog to slip away, it's really unbearable, but the question is how can you be unbearable?

Could it be that he is now reflexively heading south, breaking into Shanxi and plundering? Not to mention that those annoying Chinese revival troops in the Hetao can threaten their chrysanthemums at any time, not to mention, hundreds of thousands of troops have attacked Lishi City for so long without taking it, which makes Jieli Khan really not have much confidence in attacking Jiancheng with cavalry.

In addition, in the previous war, as the most powerful, he could only sigh across the Yellow River, or he could stare at Lishi City idiotically, which had made many Turkic nobles lose confidence in being able to go south again and achieve a big victory, and the Jieli Khan in desperation could only return to the north.

A large number of soldiers from the former Central Plains Zhuxiong laid down their weapons, changed into the military uniforms of the Chinese Reconstruction Army, and became excellent construction workers, working hard to build homes for their relatives in their hometowns that had been destroyed in the long-term war.

The Guanzhong of the Chinese Empire provided a large amount of materials and food to support the northern part of Shanxi and the Hetao region, and there was no shortage of food for the current empire, and it can even be said that although a lot of it was sold through trade, it still had a large surplus.

The grain obtained from this year's autumn harvest alone, except for the part that was collected and stored in various places, was completely enough to meet the grain consumption of the newly occupied land for a year.

"Husband, what are you thinking?" A gust of fragrant wind hit the tip of my nose, and when I heard this familiar voice, I didn't have to think about it to know that it was Yaoguang girl who came.

Gently patting her hand on my shoulder, Chong Yaoguang showed a gentle smile: "I miss you, good lady." ”

"Really?" Yaoguang tilted his head, with a puzzled look: "Don't fool people, when you usually think about things, your brows will be wrinkled tightly, do you want to use your concubine body to make such a difficulty?" ”

"Of course, the husband is thinking, after the lady returns from this big victory, I am afraid that in the future, it will be difficult to have the opportunity to lead the army to the battle." I smiled and took the Yaoguang girl into my arms, sniffed the fragrance of her hair, and looked at this still gorgeous face, just like the first time I saw it.

"Husband, don't forget, the Central Plains has not yet been completely pacified, although the concubine promised you that you would not be too far from home, but the land of Henan and Hebei is not far from home in Longxi." Yaoguang said with a sly smile.

"Well, however, pacifying the land of Henan and Hebei will be a matter of one or two years at most, and when the time comes, the lady will have to settle down and obediently accompany her husband and children." I gently pecked on her sexy plump lips and said softly.

In the past few years, the Yaoguang girl has led the army at every turn, and it is half a year as soon as she comes out, not only do I believe in her very much, but the child also misses his mother.

In the future, after the Central Plains is pacified, I am not not not going to let Yaoguang girl continue to hang up her military position, but I will not let her go to the army again, she can continue to serve in the army and continue to be her general.

"Well, the concubine knows, and when the time comes, she will definitely listen to her husband obediently and stay at home with you and the child." Yaoguang rested his chin on my shoulder, with the fragrance of flower dew, lingering in my ears and snorting.

"Well, how the lady is considerate, it is really gratifying for the husband, in the future, you and I will be harmonious, it will be a good thing......" This son looked happy and dragged up the text. Don't talk about myself, even the Yaoguang girl looks like she has goosebumps all over her body.

"Husband, can you talk well?" The Yaoguang girl gave me a cute look and said angrily. Although she is already a mother of two children, her appearance is still the same, her temperament is still the same, and she is as good as sisters with those two girls, she doesn't look like a mother at all, she still looks like a big girl.

"Okay, good, come and soak up the sun with me, and you won't be able to stay outside in a few days." I laughed out loud, reached out and took the Yaoguang girl who was holding me behind my back in my arms, and lay down on the soft and comfortable recliner.

"It's already going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, husband, this year, how are we going to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Yaoguang rubbed in my arms, lying comfortably in the crook of my arm, and sighed contentedly.

"Mid-Autumn Festival, let's go see how your father is?" I thought about it and said.
