Chapter 368: Fighting for Hegemony: It's Time to Take Nanzhou
"Five...... Half a million? ”
Hearing this number, the two of them almost couldn't help it and wanted to shout out.
"The King...... Does Qin really have an army of 500,000? Qi Lanyin asked in disbelief.
An army of 500,000 people, with the land of the three states occupied by the King of Qin, how can it be raised! Especially Zhengzhou and Dingzhou, which have not been in the war for a long time, cannot afford to raise 500,000 troops!
Unless it is an increase in taxes, calculated according to Dawu's national tax, this is the only way! to feed an army of 500,000 people.
Of course! Dongfang Yu, who owns the land of three states, can naturally feed an army of 500,000.
But the reason why Qi Lanyin didn't think that Dongfang Yu could feed 500,000 was that Beiliang was barren, Dingzhou and Zhengzhou fought many battles, and the food was naturally not enough to meet the needs of the 500,000 army.
Unless after two or three years of governance, the land of the three states reaches a certain level of prosperity and raises an army of 500,000 people, it is naturally not difficult. But! Zhengzhou and Dingzhou were newly determined, in the hands of King Qin, and it was only a few months......
How is this possible?
What he didn't know was that today's Beiliang Prefecture was enough to feed an army of 500,000. In terms of business, it is the best in the world, and I don't know how to throw off the world's businessmen, hundreds of them. Science and technology are hundreds of years more advanced than other countries. Agricultural production is several times that of other countries......
Wait, under such basic conditions, Daqin raises 500,000, which is too little. Of course, the matter of increasing the number of troops still has to be done slowly, and according to the size of the country's population, the number of troops should be increased, and this is the key.
Otherwise! As soon as there are more soldiers in the country, the number of people in the common people's families is scarce, which will naturally break the balance between the original people and the soldiers. Indirectly increase the burden on the people and increase the pressure on the people.
Dongfang Yu nodded helplessly and said, "Two Aiqing, what is the situation in the Qin State, in the future!" There is a chance for the two of you to understand. But now, you must train a hundred thousand sailors for Lonely. ”
"The world is one, it is imminent, and Lone can't wait."
Dongfang Yu developed secretly in Beiliang for more than two years, with sufficient food, and then won Dingzhou and Zhengzhou. The grain of the Qin State has swelled to a great extent.
"Of course, the 100,000 Qin troops that you have given you alone have only trained for four months as recruits. However, four months is enough time for this 100,000-strong army to reach the height that ordinary soldiers should have. Dongfang Yu said this sentence, but what he said was a little contradictory, but it was also true.
The standard is naturally to meet the training standards of Dawu soldiers, but it is far from the standard of Qin army training.
But four months is enough.
The two glanced at each other, and there was a fighting spirit in their eyes, and they immediately bowed down and said: "Don't worry, the king can not worry, with the two of us, I will definitely train a team for the king, which is stronger than the Shandong sailor...... Great Qin Water Division. ”
"Good!"
"Now, Gu will appoint Yu Haoming as the first ship of my Great Qin, the governor of the fleet, and the commander of all the fleets of Great Qin. Order, allocate 50,000 troops, let you train! ”
"King Xie!" Yu Haoming's eyes were firm and he bowed respectfully.
"Appoint Qi Lanyin, as the governor of my Great Qin's First Water Army, and allocate 50,000 to Dingzhou for training! Order, Lone gave Qi Lan Yin the water army as the Qi family army. ”
"King Xie!" Qi Lanyin immediately bowed.
Seeing that the two of them had just come to Qin, they were reused by the King of Qin, and Wu Liang behind him was happy for his own Qi Ye.
And he didn't know that Dongfang Yu's gaze had already fallen on the little fat man Wu Liang.
"Wu Liang!"
was suddenly called by King Qin, Wu Liang's body suddenly became smarter.
"Meet the King......"
Squinting deeply, Dongfang Yu continued to look at the latter, "I heard that when your kid was in Shandong, he followed General Qi to crusade against the Japanese invaders, and fought hundreds of miles in the night, fighting the Japanese invaders, and there was nowhere to hide!" can be described as General Qi's right-hand man? ”
Hey, hey, hey!
Scratching the back of his head, the corners of Wu Liang's mouth smiled embarrassedly, "But that's it!" But this is all the credit of my family's father, and I listen to my family's father. ”
"Wu Liang, don't be rude!" Qi Lanyin suddenly glared at him. "How can you call me a master in front of the king?"
was scolded by Qi Lanyin like this, Wu Liang immediately coaxed him and didn't dare to talk nonsense.
"Hey!"
"It doesn't matter! Anyway! Lone is not so stingy. Dongfang Yu didn't laugh angrily, is this a title? What's the big deal.
He's not a little bellied-hearted.
"Wu Liang, you are sincere."
"But...... Lone likes honest people like you. ”
"So be it! Wu Liang stepped forward to listen to the order. ”
The style of painting turned to the side, and Fang Dongfang Yu's face, which was still smiling, immediately became extremely serious.
Yes!
Wu Liang didn't dare to delay, he knew that King Qin was going to reward him?
"Minister Wu Liang listens to the seal!"
"From today onwards, Wu Liang will be named a general and incorporated into the Qi family's water army! and General Qi's adjutant general. Dongfang Yu Zhengse said.
Checkmate......
The King of Qin actually named him a general?
Wu Liang's brain only felt a stream of small bees, buzzing and screaming.
Since I was in Taizhou, I have been following Qi Ye, and later! When the plague broke out, he had been following Qi Lanyin, from Qingzhou to Luzhou, and from Luzhou to Yangzhou, and then later! And they hit the sea. The credit is accumulated, and it is not too much to be a general, but the result! Only a small governor was given.
It's good now, King Qin's words made him a general, or a deputy general of Qi Ye, this identity is not what it used to be.
"Minister Wu Liang, King Xie." Wu Liang bowed extremely respectfully. This merit can be regarded as a public expectation for this official position!
……
After the appointment and appointment of the official position, the monarch and the minister left and went about their own work.
Dongfang Yu, on the other hand, has already begun to plan a crusade against Nanzhou.
He called Li Jing, Li Xiaozhi, and Wei Qing.
There was a short little meeting.
Nanzhou, although not rich, but the territory is large, with the current strength of the Qin State, only 10,000 troops are needed, and a general is sent. The land of Nanzhou is at your fingertips.
"Li Jing, Lone gave you 30,000 troops, and temporarily ordered you to assassinate the history of Nanzhou, take Nanzhou for Lone, and develop it by you. Lone gives you a permission, in Nanzhou, for Lone to recruit enough 50,000 troops, money and food are allocated by the household department, for you. Dongfang Yu said.
An army of 50,000 plus 30,000 old Qin soldiers is an army of 80,000.
"The last general commands!"
To crusade against Nanzhou, Li Jing couldn't be more suitable. Nanzhou is Li Jing's home, and no one is more familiar with Nanzhou than Li Jing. And! Dongfang Yu sent Li Jing back to Nanzhou, which can be regarded as exchanging the old for the new, and Li Jing has a wish.
"There are two more people, you have to bring them with you. Lone has already transferred General Lantian back from the North Gate Pass, this time! If you crusade against Nanzhou, take it with you. There is another person, it is Wuwei County Taishou Xinhai, this person is very capable, you bring it, he can govern Nanzhou for you, become a big help! ”
Lantian has been guarding the north gate for a few years, and if he doesn't release it again, he will sharpen this knife, and it will be rusty.
And! Nanzhou belongs to the south, and the temperature is much higher than that in the north.
At this time, in February, almost the entire territory of Nanzhou can be captured.
