Chapter 0539 - National Strength

"Chen Yinhao, see the Queen Mother! The Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an! ”

As soon as he entered the upper study, Yin Hao saw the Queen Mother Chu Garlic sitting on the top, and he paid a big salute and paid respect.

"Let's be flat." Chu Garlic bowed slightly.

"Empress Dowager Xie."

Yin Hao immediately made another gesture to Sima Yu: "King Huiji." ”

Sima Yu also nodded in acknowledgment.

Gifts must not be abolished. Although the authority of the Eastern Jin Dynasty royal family is not too high, it has not reached the point of plummeting, at least the hundred officials are still willing to be loyal to the emperor and the Great Jin Dynasty.

The emperor also, Chu Lianzi as the queen mother to listen to the government, Sima Yu also as the auxiliary prince, directly adjudicating state affairs and military affairs, but neither of them can monopolize power, the cadres are arbitrary, there are things that need to be discussed, and a consensus can be reached before the holy decree can be promulgated.

But in terms of status, the Queen Mother Chu Garlic is slightly higher than Sima Yu's.

"Lord Yin, please take a seat."

"Empress Dowager Xie."

Yin Hao then sat up in the middle of the head.

Chu Garlic said lightly: "Lord Yin, you have just deduced the war against Wei in the court, and you have planned carefully, and you can indeed break the deadlock of the current war, but from the perspective of the mourning family, Lord Yin seems to have some reservations." ”

Yin Hao said solemnly: "Queen Mother Mingjian, in one sentence." Chen's battle plan is indeed far more than that, or even not at all! ”

"Oh? I want to hear about it! ”

Immediately, Yin Hao lowered his hand and said: "The Queen Mother should know, the secret guards of the Wei State are known to be pervasive, ubiquitous, and have huge energy, even if they are above the court of my Wei State, there may be a lot of Wei eyeliner!" Above the court, there are many people, maybe this battle plan was leaked out like this, so the war that Chen Shicai deduced in the court was actually confusing the Wei people. ”

"Lord Yin is really old and seeking a country."

"Queen Mother, I wonder if there is a map of the Yangwu War here?"

"Yes."

Chu Garlic then asked people to bring up the map. This map was hung on the screen, drawing a map of the entire Wei State, mountains, rivers, rivers, cities, roads, and the current situation of the Wei and Jin armies.

Yin Hao walked to the map, pointed to the area of Yangwu, and said: "Queen Mother, please see, now our Jin army and the Wei army are facing each other on the front line of Yangwu, Gushan, and Weishi, and more than half a year has passed, and there is no progress in the war. Ran Min wants to fight a war of attrition with my Jin Kingdom, but to fight this war with huge consumption, no matter what, my Jin Kingdom will not be able to consume the Wei State. ”

"Over the years, the Wei State has undergone the Wang Meng's reforms, and its national strength has increased greatly, and it has accumulated a lot of savings. Moreover, the land of Wei is fertile, the population is large, the water network is dense, whether it is water or land, it is very developed, and they are fighting on the mainland, so it is relatively easier to transport grain than our Jin country. ”

"And what about my Jin Kingdom? Although my Great Jin Dynasty has no territory and a lot of population, it is inferior to the Wei State, especially in terms of cultivated land, and the gap is not ordinarily large. In the past, the south was still a barbarian land, but after more than a thousand years of development, it finally has such a grand situation as it is now, but it has never been as good as the Central Plains. ”

Arable land is closely related to population.

The population of the North has always been much larger than that of the South.

But immigration can completely change the situation, and after the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, the talented Qin Shi Huang continued to use troops to the south, conquering the Baiyue region, hitting the edge of the South China Sea, and setting up counties there.

In order to strengthen the management of the area, Qin Shi Huang also migrated 500,000 people to these areas of the Central Plains, where they lived with the Yue people, and the iron tools and advanced production technology of the Central Plains were introduced to the Pearl River Valley, and these measures promoted the development of curtain production.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the warlords in the Central Plains fought in a melee, and "the white bones were exposed in the wild, and there was no rooster crowing for thousands of miles" was a true portrayal of northern China at that time.

The Jiangnan region was relatively stable, so people from the north moved south in large numbers.

After the Yongjia Rebellion, the population of the northern southward crossing reached 900,000, accounting for one-seventh of the original household registration in the north.

In fact, this statistic has shrunk greatly due to the fact that many of the household registrations have been hidden and lost at the time of displacement. As someone has already pointed out: "Since the Central Plains are in turmoil, the people have left their own regions, Jiangzuo has created a new country, the wealthy families have merged, or the guest houses have been displaced, and the people have not been established...... When the people were in trouble and left the country, the displaced people took the surname as a guest. ”

This shows that the actual size of immigration is far higher than the official statistics mentioned above.

During the period, the distribution of immigrants was still dominated by the Yangtze River Basin, and there were many immigrants from Fujian and Guangxi in the south, according to records: "In the second year of Jin Yongjia, Zhongzhou Bandang, the eight ethnic groups who began to enter Fujian in their clothes, the so-called Lin, Huang, Chen, Zheng, Zhan, Qiu, He, and Hu are also. ”

Wave after wave of immigration, the people of the north went south, bringing advanced technology and labor, and providing favorable conditions for the further development of the south.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty initially adopted the policy of establishing prefectures and counties in Qiao, and later in order to expand the scope of exploitation, it pushed the policy of "breaking the evil land", that is, the household registration of the northern refugees and local residents was compiled, and both southerners and northerners had to bear the state's taxes and servitude.

This de facto recognized the legitimacy of immigrants from the North.

And it is in this environment that the economy of the South has developed by leaps and bounds.

As far as Yin Hao knows, Gusu "has beautiful fields, wow, acres of each other, even Yu Gaoyong, Qianmo is like embroidery"; Yangzhou "the land is wide and abundant, the people are diligent in their own business, one year old or harvest, then a few years old forget hunger".

The financial revenue of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was mainly provided by the Sanwu (Wu County, Wu Xing, and Huiji) regions.

However, at this time, the economic strength of the south still did not exceed that of the north, and the north was still the most economically developed region in China.

Yin Hao sighed and said: "Queen Mother, there are still many places in the south that have not been developed, there is not much arable land, and in some remote places, there are even foreign races who are in rebellion, occupying the mountains as kings, and disobeying the king." Compared with the Wei State, it is more difficult for our Jin State to transport grain, and it is time-consuming and laborious, and it is thousands of miles away, and I don't know how much food and salary will be consumed on the way. ”

"So, we can't fight a war of attrition with Wei?" Chu Garlic couldn't help frowning slightly.

Yin Hao said: "If there are more than 600,000 troops on the front line, I will only be able to support it for a year at most!" In a year's time, if we can't win the Wei State, and the war situation is still stalemate, our Jin Kingdom will also collapse without a fight! ”

Yin Hao is not alarmist, Sima Yu knows this.

The army of 600,000 can still support it for a year, in fact, this is already Yin Hao bragging, the real situation is actually seven or eight months, so the Jin Kingdom can't afford it at all!

This grain can't only be supplied to the army at the front, the officials' food and salaries must be distributed, right? The food that the people ate on the way, as well as disaster relief or something, this is a bad debt, and I can't count it at all!

"Then what method does Lord Yin plan to use to break the deadlock in the current war?"

"Daliang, as long as you lay down the capital of Wei, you can win!"

Yin Hao made a gesture on the map and said: "Queen Mother, if the minister is fighting on the front line, he should send a partial division to make the momentum of the main force, conquer the three cities of Jiyang, Changyuan and Yongqiu near Daliang, and make a posture of encircling Daliang City, and then, the minister will personally lead the main force to enter from the chasm and attack Daliang!" ”

"What if Wei doesn't eat this set and doesn't move?"

"Why are you afraid that he will not move?"

Yin Hao swore solemnly: "The minister will surround a large Liang city to send reinforcements and force the Wei army to come out for a decisive battle." As long as the Wei army dares to come out to fight, the minister will keep him and there will be no return! And if the Wei army insists on retreating in Daliang City, then our Jin army can use the superior forces to sweep away the army of King Qin of Wei and trap the Wei army in Daliang City! ”

"Queen Mother, the population of this Liang is quite large, and suddenly there are two or three hundred thousand more troops, and they can't afford to consume their food!"

Hearing this, Chu Lianzi and Sima Yu couldn't help but nod their heads again and again, this is really an excellent tactic!

However, Yin Hao's tactics seemed to be impeccable, but he ignored the most critical point, which was the strength of the Wei army......
