Chapter 244: Is the Emperor Lonely?

Liu Che looked at Liu Ponu with contempt on his face, and then pouted.

See!

Take a look at everything that has passed by!

Is this special mother still talking about human words?

What does it mean that the next time you clean up the northern front, you will clean up the Huns in one piece?

If the Huns are really as easy to clean up as you say, will I still need to fight for the rest of my life?

Do you really think that my whole life is to fight for the sake of fighting?

Also, you said it so lightly and comfortably, where do you put my old face?

What's the matter, when you compared with Liu Ju before, you kid wasn't too enjoyable, but now you want to compare with me?

It's all a thousand-year-old fox, why am I still afraid of you kid?

"Why put it next time? Although the new army consumes a lot of resources, it will basically not affect the normal life of the people at this stage, and a war of this scale is completely supported by the current Han Dynasty. ”

"If you want me to say, this is going to be used anyway, the stall has been spread, if you want to fight, you will fight hard, if you want to fight, you will fight enough at one time, hit him by surprise, beat him and can't take care of his own life, as long as you can completely eliminate the threat of the Huns to the Han, with the current standard of living, what does it matter if the Han people are working hard for a few years?"

"Let's use the hard life of the past few years for a stable life for decades or hundreds of years in the future, this deal is still very cost-effective and worth it!" Liu Che looked at Liu Ponu with a provocative face, let your kid pretend to be forced by me, you can continue to pretend if you have the ability, and see how I clean you up!

Although he was angry, Liu Che was still very clear and rational in his heart.

Although the training mission of the new army was not satisfactory, its powerful firepower has been fully displayed.

Even if there was a mistake in testing this procedure, and it was not known where the upper limit of the Forces nouvelles was, with the support of the throwing vehicles, the lower limit of the Forces nouvelles had been determined.

Directly surrounded by three layers in the truck and three layers outside, forming an impregnable defensive formation, the height of about one zhang is the height that the Hun cavalry can never surpass.

The formation of thousands of trucks is like the Han army suddenly building a city on the grassland, and it is also a city made of steel.

Coupled with flintlock pistols, grenades, and throwing vehicles, in this configuration, as long as the Huns dared to come, the Han army had the ability to let him come and go.

Along the way, Liu Che's in-depth understanding of the New Army, coupled with some battle reports from the Western Regions, greatly improved Liu Che's understanding of the combat effectiveness and defense of the New Army.

This also made Liu Che see new hope, of course, the most important thing is that Liu Ponu once bragged to himself, he actually achieved it......

The most important thing is that although steel is very important, for the time being, the only thing that the Han Dynasty needs to use a lot of iron is the manufacture of new plows, and if a large-scale war is carried out immediately, it will inevitably affect the promotion plan of new plows.

In one is a technological renewal program that replaces ploughing cattle with tractors, but it is worth saying a thousand to ten thousand.

In the past, there were so many people who opposed the war, and the main reason was that because the war required the transfer of a large number of young and strong, after the young and strong were all withdrawn, there would not be enough people to cultivate, the output of grain decreased, and the number of people decreased but could not keep up with the proportion of grain reduction.

Once the food crisis erupts, a new round of population decline is inevitable.

When the Han Dynasty was first founded, the population was only 20 million, but after the rule of Emperor Wenjing, the population had increased dramatically to nearly 50 million by the time Liu Che took over.

And now that Liu Che has succeeded to the throne for more than 20 years, the population of the Han Dynasty has plummeted to more than 30 million.

According to conservative estimates, the total population has decreased by about 15 million in the past 20 years, and you think this is the end of it?

No, because at the time of the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the population of the Han Dynasty was basically the same as when the Han Dynasty was founded.

And how many people really died on the frontal battlefield of Han and Hungary?

Three and a half million will reach the sky, but there will be more people who died because of this war.

Therefore, some people say that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a reckless soldier, and history has mixed praise and criticism for him, which is quite controversial.

But no matter how history evaluates it, Liu Che's sense of smell for war is still extremely sensitive, and he will never stop when it is time to make a move, and he will never continue to shoot when it is time to stop.

If it was three or five years ago, Liu Che might have to consider whether to take advantage of this opportunity.

But now, he doesn't have to think about anything anymore.

Because the way of war has completely changed, in order to support the war, countless people were needed to fill their backs with their lives, and 100,000 troops were dispatched, not to mention that 12 million people had to be mobilized to support it.

But now, if 100,000 troops are sent, he is 100,000, and the mobilization is not the previous mobilization.

In the past, it was the mobilization of the whole people, but now it is the mobilization of the workshop, the mobilization of the whole people is about paying, there is no gain, the mobilization of the workshop is about more work and more reward, it doesn't matter if you work hard, as long as you can make money.

For the imperial court, there are also advantages and disadvantages, in the past, it was the people who burned, and now it burns money.

But it is better to burn money than to burn the people, as for whether the court has so much money to burn, Liu Che couldn't help but look at Liu Ponu.

"The strength of the front line is not enough, then continue to increase the troops, it just takes time to make vehicles, take advantage of this time to train the troops, almost send them to the front line, and then let Han Yannian adjust it, the southern line does not need to spend too much energy, as long as the main force can hold the middle line, it is impossible for the Huns to reach the south, and only need to send a small force to subdue the southern line at that time."

"Just take advantage of this time, I might as well arrange for the officials who will manage the Western Regions......" Liu Che looked at Liu Ponu with a smile on his face.

He had already inquired clearly, and now the only workshop used to make trucks was the Lantian mine.

So even if he decided to go all out to prepare for the war, the real impact would only be on agricultural production in the central region.

But this problem is not unsolvable, he can order some new ploughs from other mining areas to ensure the balanced development of the regions, although the overall progress will be slowed down a little, but in the end it will continue to progress, and it is the first time that the rear will maintain progress while the war is going on.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness has actually been prepared for this for a long time......" Huo Guang reminded with a slight embarrassment on his face.

Although this is a bit of a slap in the face, if you don't say it, the emperor will be even more embarrassed later.

"Huh?" Liu Che was suddenly stunned, and continued to ask without any embarrassment on his face: "What has he prepared?" ”

"When His Royal Highness went out on the expedition before, he ordered to make all efforts to make trucks, and after this incident, His Royal Highness ordered the expansion of production to prepare for the subsequent army reform, and at the same time let the ministers and others formulate a plan for the formation of the new army, and there are currently two sets of plans, one is to form according to the previous formation model of the new army, all of which are used to break up and reorganize."

"The other is to transfer other units into the new army, the advantage is to save the initial training time, on the whole, this model of the formation of the army time is about three months, but the disadvantage is also obvious, because there is no guarantee that every soldier can adapt to the new model."

"As for the governance of the Western Regions, His Royal Highness's plan is to set up the Protectorate of the Western Regions, set up the post of Governor of the Western Regions, and be fully responsible for the government affairs of various regions in the Western Regions, and be responsible for the basic defense tasks of various places, and the military side is solely responsible for the generals appointed by the imperial court.

"In addition, in order to ensure that all parts of the Western Regions can be integrated as soon as possible, and accelerate the enhancement of their sense of identity, His Royal Highness also suggested that soldiers be directly recruited from all over the Western Regions, and the Han Dynasty will not treat these recruited soldiers any differently, and directly integrate them into the main combat forces or logistics units according to the results of the new training, so that they can eat, live and fight with the Han people, and quickly pull in the relationship and sense of identity between the two sides in this form, and when these people retire and go home, it should have an impact on the people around them." Huo Guang said fifteen-ten.

They started to do this as early as when Han Yannian went on the expedition, but they weren't nervous at the beginning, they just took the time to think about it.

Anyway, at that point in time, they still had plenty of time to prepare.

But as the battle reports from the front line continued to come back, Liu Ponu also had to ask Huo Guang and others to speed up the formulation of the plan.

Although these plans are not particularly perfect now, they can also guarantee that with just one order, Dahan can be up and running quickly.

Listening to Huo Guang's description, Liu Che pursed his lips.

What the hell am I the emperor?

Isn't this a good place to be lonely?

went out to play around, pretending to be forced to pretend to be a lot, but when I came back, I found that I seemed to have let Liu Ponu, the kid, finish everything.

I finally came up with a way to show my awesomeness, but I didn't expect that kid to have arranged it a long time ago, and it was even more awesome than his own thoughts.

This is a boy of his own making!

Where is the reason for this special mother?

No, Liu Ponu can be awesome, but I can't be without a sense of existence.

"Several plans are carried out at the same time, select a group of people from the existing troops to transfer to the new army, and replenish Han Yannian as soon as possible to increase the strength of the main force against the Huns in a short period of time, and the new soldiers must also be recruited, it doesn't matter if the time is longer, as long as the existing people can hold on until they grow up, they can also wait for the first class of equipment."

"The idea of recruiting soldiers from the Western Regions is very good, you can tell Han Yannian to implement it immediately, but you must screen it carefully, don't let some people with ulterior motives spoil things."

In addition, he told Han Yannian that the primary goal at the moment was to destroy Dawan, and then he would be stationed directly in Wusun to find a way to investigate...... Forget it, I'm not on the front line, so I won't command blindly if I'm not familiar with the situation, but the army must be stationed in Wusun ......"
