Chapter 235: The Number of Great Qin's Soldiers in Song
"Your Majesty, there is news from Bianliang that Zhao Ji sent Cai Jing as an envoy and wants to negotiate peace with my Great Qin!" Zhang San respectfully told the news he had just received, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he naturally knew that Daqin did not have enough food to receive all the people of the Great Song Dynasty.
Not only food, but also not enough land, the south of the Yangtze River is vast, but now it is a wild land, before it is cleared by the Tuntian army, if ordinary people are sent over, it is simply for these people to be sent to death.
So how to deal with it later, it naturally depends on how His Majesty arranges it.
"What conditions does he have?" Zhao Wen's tone brought a look of curiosity, when the Jin soldiers he remembered hit Bianjing, before the war started, Zhao Ji agreed to all the conditions of the family, not only sent the imperial concubine and princess, but even agreed to the Jin soldiers to plunder in Bianjing.
In the end, he personally went to the Jin Bing camp to negotiate, so that the Jin soldiers achieved the greatest results at the minimum cost without much effort.
If the conditions given to yourself are not as good as those given to Jin Bing, this is simply looking down on your own Daqin.
"The news from Jinyi Wei says that Zhao Ji is willing to agree to all the conditions of Daqin, and even if you can give him the elixir, he is willing to pay any price!" Zhang San had a strange smile on his face and couldn't help but laugh.
As the commander of the Great Qin Jinyi Guard, he still roughly knows what Great Qin has, if he cultivates the exercises or something, His Majesty can take out some, but the elixir of immortality, let alone that Great Qin does not have it, even if he has, how can he give it to Zhao Ji such a waste.
"Zhao Ji really didn't disappoint me!" Hearing this condition, Zhao Wen nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Zhang San: "Let Qi Jiguang receive Cai Jing then!" ”
In history, Qi Jiguang's brain was also extremely flexible, and he was able to send aphrodisiacs and beauties to Zhang Juzheng, and after learning about Cai Jing's life, he would definitely be able to get the greatest benefits from Cai Jing.
But after thinking about it, he said: "I can let Qi Jiguang give Cai Jing some benefits in private!" ”
Cai Jing in history has been in the position of prime minister for decades from a poor scholar, during which Zhao Ji has resigned several times and reinstated several times, he is definitely a rare smart person, and the way to fool Zhao Ji is absolutely not to deceive Cai Jing.
If the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty was willing to cooperate, Great Qin would be able to completely take down the entire Great Song Dynasty at the lowest cost.
Thinking that all the adjustments of Da Song had changed according to Da Qin's mind, Zhao Wen suddenly had a smile on his face.
Relying only on the Great Qin Tuntian soldiers, it is absolutely impossible to reclaim enough land in Great Qin in a short period of time, but if you add the resources of the Great Song Dynasty, it may not be impossible.
"Call Zengbu!" The sudden thought made Zhao Wen's eyes suddenly feel a little more eager, thinking that countless Great Song Dynasty's grain would be transported back to Great Qin, and millions of Great Song Dynasty strong men would become Great Qin's Tuntian Army, opening up wasteland for Great Qin in the wilderness.
If this idea can be implemented, the speed at which Great Qin receives Great Song will be several times faster.
"Chen Zengbu pays a visit to Your Majesty!" Since returning to the Great Song Dynasty, although he is in the same city as His Majesty, this is the first time His Majesty has summoned him, and Zeng Bu is also extremely respectful.
"Zhao Ji sent Cai Jing to negotiate peace, what do you think of Cai Jing!" Historical records are not necessarily true, but Cai Jing was also a reformer, although he later took refuge in the conservatives, but after all, Zeng Bu also worked with him, which must be clearer than historical records.
"Born smart, extremely good at seeing the wind and steering, he is a complete villain, such a person can also be the prime minister, it is simply ridiculous!" Zeng Bu's tone was full of anger, the failure of the Fa Reform Sect back then was because there were too many villains like Cai Jing who saw the wind and steered the rudder.
"It's good to be a villain who sees the wind and rudder!" Zhao Wen nodded slightly.
"How many people are there in my Great Qin Forbidden Army in Jiangnan!" Qi Jiguang manages military affairs, but like Daqin,
Armaments and logistics were provided by the counties under the administration of Zengbu.
"Yesterday's latest report was 3.71 million!" Zeng Bu said a dumbfounded answer with great certainty.
Seeing that His Majesty didn't understand, Zeng Bu explained: "Among them, there are at least two million of the Xiang army and their families, and this part is migrating to my Great Qin and Shu, and after entering the Great Qin, it will be converted to civilian nationality, and the real soldiers are one hundred and thirty-two hundred thousand six hundred, and now these soldiers are being trained everywhere!" ”
"One million three hundred seventy-seven thousand six hundred!" Zhao Wen knew in his heart that these more than one million soldiers did not mean that they had the combat power of the Great Qin Forbidden Army, but only because they were of the right age to join the Great Qin Forbidden Army.
If it were another world, a country with a population of hundreds of millions, there would be only a few more than a million soldiers.
But the Great Song Dynasty, leaving such a huge number of troops is a complete waste.
Especially when he encountered a superb emperor like Zhao Ji, and it was Cai Jing who was sent to negotiate peace, leaving so many soldiers behind is definitely the biggest waste.
"Everywhere, in addition to those who are really powerful, there are also those with excellent talent and qualifications who can stay, and all the others will be sent back to Daqin to be used as Tuntian soldiers, and the entire south must be cleared out in the shortest possible time!"
"Not only these soldiers, but also the surplus food, all of which are also sent to Daqin, I dare not guarantee it elsewhere, but now my Daqin's Shu land will definitely be short of food!"
A merchant ship can almost transport hundreds of people, and at least thousands of merchant ships will enter Daqin every day, among which there will even be a large number of civilian ships, which will enter the Great Song Dynasty for more than 20 days, and Shu will enter at least millions of people.
With only the grain stock of Shu itself, it is a pipe dream to feed so many people, and Zhao Wen even estimates that the cabinet of Great Qin is now urgently transferring grain to Shu.
That is, hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops entered the Great Song Dynasty and saved a lot of military food, but even so, now Daqin's food is definitely stretched.
"Yes!" Zeng Bu was extremely confident in agreeing, the Great Song Dynasty has always had the habit of storing grain in a scattered manner, and there are granaries in each city, plus the accumulation of rich households, it is completely possible to extract some grain.
After Zeng Bu left, Zhao Wen walked slowly out of the city.
Although Yingtianfu is a big city, it is also the most convenient place for the people to enter Daqin.
Compared with when I first entered the Great Song Dynasty, the streets were obviously much colder.
For the ancient people, farming is the most stable day, there can be enough fields, no one wants to work in the city, now a household in Daqin is divided into 100 acres, and the people of Yingtian will naturally enter first.
"Call all the internal guards of the East Factory to come over!" Coming to a wasteland outside the city, Zhao Wen instructed Chu San and Chu Si beside him.
A phantom-like figure continued to appear around Zhao Wen, and in just a while, thousands of Dongchang guards who had entered the Great Song Dynasty appeared in front of Zhao Wen.
