Chapter 690: Although Far Away, He Will Be Punished (II)
"In this way, you can directly pass through the army and go deep into the hinterland of the grassland?" Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai looked at each other, the shelf life of the rammed earth road is a long time, and the old road that began with Qin Shi Huang has not been able to soak in the wind and rain for four hundred years, and no one can help but be surprised.
Ye Qing was not surprised by this, he had watched an archaeological documentary, and this road was still intact for two thousand years, not to mention that it was only a few hundred years now.
Perched high in the mountains, this military highway road is a strange road, which has always been a secret blockade, and is basically not used in peacetime, some sections of the road are often flooded by verdant jungles, and nature always shows its dominance.
Only at some special moments, Meng Tian set off from here to chase the Xiongnu north for 700 miles, Qin Shi Huang's body returned south from this road, Li Guang and Wei Qing marched from here to sweep the northern desert, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty patrolled the border many times, and also started from here......
Ye Qing stared at this path and thought.
Jia Xu observed the emperor's expression, his heart moved, and he asked out loud: "Your Majesty wants to go out of the straight road to meet the battle?"
"Well, Jizhou and Youzhou are heavily armed, Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang, I can rest assured, this side is just forming a pincer offensive......"
The afterglow of the setting sun summoned into the hall, and the ministers were silent for a while, and then Xi Zhi spoke: "Your Majesty really doesn't need to take any more risks yourself, Murong is no more thief than Xingjun Ship and Earth Immortal, and the soldiers are captured......"
"Your Majesty's body, every move is related to the national fortune of the Han Dynasty, how can you take risks lightly......"
"The son of a daughter, he can't sit down, let alone the king of ten thousand times?"
"The minister is against!"
This sentence is that the river opened the sluice, and immediately after, Lu Shangjing, Xun Yu, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei all stepped forward and advised the emperor not to march in person, as if they had been connected in advance.
What's going on?
Ye Qing laughed and laughed, although he knew that they were reasonable, he was very puzzled when he heard it, so he had to wave his hand and wisely put the matter aside for the time being.
Until he went back to the dormitory to rest, it was almost dark, the Mid-Autumn Festival wind and drizzle in the twilight, the palace people were going to the palace lamp, back to the palace, the palace maids and eunuchs were saluting, only the Empress Xiaomi stood up and smiled: "The emperor is back, quickly bring the meal I have prepared." ”
While speaking, there were two palace maids, holding a plate in their hands and four or five side dishes, Ye Qing couldn't help but smile when he saw it: "It's hard for you to think thoughtfully, I'm going to the next court, I just want to use some!"
Saying that, he smiled slightly, scooped the soup with a spoon and drank it, and said the court discussion just now, a little confused: "My cultivation is a thousand miles a day, and the ministers also know, why is it so fierce this time?"
When Empress Xiaomi heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said in one sentence: "The ministers are indeed a pious and loyal king's heart, and there is really no need for the king of all vehicles to go to the battlefield - you don't have a prince yet!"
"And the battle of Jizhou is mainly high-end combat power, but this time it is a battle between the army, and the situation is different...... If all the merit is attributed to His Majesty, how can the general be promoted and his descendants will be overshadowed?
As soon as these words came out, Ye Qing was a little speechless: "Dare to love is that the lord is too capable, and he also blocks the official and financial roads of the soldiers......"
"Isn't it!" said Queen Xiaomi, with a smile in her eyes.
It was rare to see her husband's stupid face, as if a child's beloved toy had been snatched away, and she found it very interesting.
"What ...... laugh about"
Ye Qing flicked her forehead, although she was a little depressed, she also knew that the empire had reached a critical period, and all parties had the interests to seek external expansion, which was a good thing, and it was time to let go.
After washing, it is a good sleep, the moonlight falls silently, and the moon shadow is cast on the cicada screen next to the bed, and a picture scroll is quietly pasted on the screen, blocking the inside and outside, and the light and shadow are blurry to present the mountains and rivers.
"Are you used to it now?"
"Well, the doppelganger is getting stronger, and the ubiquitous ontology attraction feeling is indeed small, and the husband's guess is right, and the ontology can gradually get rid of it in the future...... I have nothing to do, and now that the war has started, the cultivation of Dao soldiers on the side of my husband will be slowed down. Queen Xiaomi said with a little regret.
"It's fine. ”
Ye Qing stroked her smooth and smooth back: "It's a lot, you're doing a good job...... The enemy's blood wolf cavalry has just recovered 20,000, and Murong Zheng dares to fight me at this time, it is estimated that he judged that the Taoist soldiers in the northern and southern armies of Luoyang are less than 30,000 together, or he still thinks that his cavalry is more advantageous...... But how do you know that I have the help of a good wife?"
In the past five years, Qianqian's forgotten land has been operating, and the current space is the highest to the Yin God layer, and her Qingmai Treasure House only has the share of her own cultivation to the Yang God, which shows that it is difficult to improve the space, but it is more than enough for her husband to cultivate Qi Refining Layer Dao soldiers.
"Flam tongue again. ”
Queen Xiaomi...... Or that Qianqian's face is disgusted, and her heart is comfortable, and she secretly thinks that her husband says that women are auditory animals, and if it is really good, she just listens to her husband's praise.
The Forgotten Land Cave is gradually recovering, the cost of simulation training is very low, Ye Qing's strategy is to select veterans who have participated in the Battle of Jizhou from the local county troops, and join the space in batches for virtual cultivation, some people have good results, some people have poor results, it doesn't matter, come back with another batch.
There are not many spiritual qi in the lower earth, but there are many people, and Ye Qing has always been accustomed to maximizing the advantages in his hands.
There are many soldiers who have made meritorious contributions to the battle of Jizhou to eliminate evil demons, and there are two or three hundred thousand people who have been nourished by the Xuanhuang Qi, and this group of people has certain cultivation resources, and they also have the Forgotten Land simulation space, which helps them experience the Qi refining layer in advance, and return to reality One by one, they have improved their level.
Generally speaking, the sorcerers entered the realm faster, and a small number of sorcerers originally had the first and second levels of Qi cultivation, and they had made great achievements in Jizhou, and the level of virtual cultivation in the space became higher, and in the past five years, there have been more than 20 new breakthroughs to real people, many of which are heroic for a while, and Ye Qing recognized Sima Yi's name on the list.
The progress of ordinary veterans is much slower, and some are even too old to practice poorly, and the base of the army of the county is large, so they have successively selected and trained new 50,000 Taoist soldiers to supplement the northern and southern armies of Luoyang, and now the total number of Taoist soldiers has accumulated 76,000, except for 6,000 to be included in the Southern Army, and 70,000 are to be included in the main force of the Northern Army.
Ye Qing knew that this was actually the benefit of the Han Empire to eliminate three thousand foreign real people, and this blowout upgrade was not the norm, but it surprised him.
What's more, Murong is far away from the grassland, and it is even more difficult to detect the virtual reality.
On the one hand, with the help of Nuwa's means of concealing the sky and crossing the sea, he deceived the heavens, and on the other hand, half of them were sent to Shu to fight in turn to accumulate experience.
The two-pronged approach hides most of the strength.
Everything is ready, and it's time to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.
"The Great Tribulation of this world has just arrived, and the first wave has not completely ended, how can there be time to rub shoulders with Murong Zheng?"
"It's not a historical drama!" Ye Qing thought secretly.
When discussing the matter again the next morning, Ye Qing changed his attitude and said from the goodness: "Zhongqing's words are reasonable, and I will cancel the pro-conscription." ”
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Regardless of whether it is true or false, the civil and military forces are holding their words and feet, and they have turned it into a fact.
These foxes ...... Ye Qing smiled secretly and added with a straight face: "The Northern Wei Dynasty is not comparable to Shu, in this national war, strategically you can despise the enemy, tactically you must pay attention to the enemy, and the plan of the pincer offensive cannot be changed...... This battle is a full-scale national war, the main theme is a heavy military duel, the main force is still Jizhou, and the auxiliary surprise soldiers...... Let Zhao Yun not have to go back to Luoyang, go directly to Chang'an and take the Qin Straight Road, and go north instead of my strange soldiers. ”
"Although I am not on the front line, I still have to put out the honor guard of the personal expedition. ”
The ministers looked at each other, not knowing what the emperor's regulations were.
Ye Qing tapped his fingers on the armrest of the dragon chair and said his own conditions: "Jizhou is a plain that is favorable to the cavalry, even if it is full of dock forts, it is difficult to reach 400,000 Hu cavalry, it must be restrained on the north bank of the Yellow River, and the enemy must not be allowed to cross the river and go deep into the dense area of the destruction workshop." ”
"Luoyang, Xuchang, Xuzhou, Xiangyang, the four main industrial city railway networks have just been built, and the transportation is based on the water system of the Grand Canal, so Murong Zheng can't cross the river to threaten the transportation artery, I can attract firepower in the past, and I can't let me come to the battlefield in person, so it's always okay to be a strategic target, right?"
"Then where is the camp set for His Majesty?" asked Xi Zhicai, this is the key.
"The northern boundary of Yanzhou is determined...... Chenliu County on the south bank of the Yellow River, I will watch the battle across the river, are you relieved?" Ye Qing smiled, his gaze swept over.
The ministers all laughed secretly, pretending to be deaf and dumb at the right time, but they didn't hear it.
Although Lu Shangjing is the prime minister, he was born in the world, and his personality is not as free and easy as the heroes of the troubled times in the late Han Dynasty, and he admires the courage of these colleagues, so he diverted the topic: "The transportation of military rations is still based on the camp of His Majesty Xià as the hub......"
"Okay...... I have become your grain carrier. Ye Qing smiled, nodded and agreed: "That's it, the general trend is in hand, the destiny is in Han, I will follow you, it can be regarded as a strategic contempt for the enemy......"
This was a joke, but all the Hanchen were in good spirits, and they all looked deeply approving.
After the bumper grain harvest in autumn, the first five-year plan of Xinhan was basically completed, and the 13 prefectures in the country, except for Jizhou, Yizhou, and Liangzhou, which were damaged in the war, basically recovered the grain, products, and manpower of the remaining 10 prefectures.
The Henan Plain of Yuzhou and the Jianghan Plain of Jingbei have been ruled for more than ten years, and the agricultural restoration has already been completed.
In Xuchang and Xiangyang, the Huoling Steam Engine Workshop District has been established, and together with Luoyang and Xuzhou, which have taken advantage of the capital's political and trade advantages in the East China Sea, these four cities have become the four major industrial centers of the Han Empire.
Or the world foundation is different, or the precipitation history is not enough, there is basically no coal and oil in this world, the effect of using charcoal is not good, and the side effects of burning wood for charcoal are too great for the ecosystem, and the cost of scale is too high, far less popular than Lingshi as energy, and the mining of Lingyun veins requires the fire spirit steam engine to improve efficiency, which in turn forms a demand for Lingshi and steel.
This kind of steel-spirit stone industrial complex is the prototype of the positive cycle of the Taoist industrial society, and many traversers are unaware of the huge energy it contains.
The world can be different, but the principle of circulation is the same, basically in all the worlds of iron and steel, spirit stone and immortal Dao, they are enough to drive the revolution of Taoism, and the change of heaven and earth begins in this positive cycle at the end of this small end.
In the case of the most important steel in the early industrial period, the idea of laying a railway network and passing standard gauge to improve logistics was to meet the demand for dumped steel from the owners of these four local emerging factories - by the autumn report, the total of iron courses submitted by various places showed that the annual output of NEXCOM Steel had exceeded 40,000 jin (20,000 tons), which was ten times that of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
When nine-tenths of it is pig iron, all of which is used to make new agricultural tools and the recently popular iron pots, which are not enough among the people, the county guards are all kinds of grievances, competing for the pig iron quota......
It would be better when you could grab the steel, you could build a fire spirit steam engine, as long as you have seen it with your own eyes, you basically realize the efficiency of this thing, greatly save people's power, and increase the tax collection of the county, who doesn't like it?
Excluding nine-tenths of pig iron, the remaining 40 million catties of steel sounds a lot, most of them are put into the production of fire spirit steam engines, and only a small part is transferred to the military industry, but this is also amazing, a qiē iron armor, knives and guns, and arrows of crossbow arrows all come from here, which is enough to form a steel torrent to crush the grassland, and the traditional rhubarb crossbow array of the Han army has always made the Hu people frightened, and the only restricted crossbow vector is also relaxing.
Not only steel, but also the application of the fire spirit steam engine in the mine has greatly increased the output of spirit stones, which is the most important raw material of the magic circle, which is enough to allow magicians and real people to exert several times or even ten times the power.
Inferior miscellaneous spars, peace can be used as fuel for the fire spirit steam engine, and war use can be used as the raw material for the spar bundle of leaf fire thunder.
And Ye Huolei and the Han soldiers formed the early Taoist army, which made the Han army like a tiger.
The area of Jizhou and Youzhou in the north is full of dock forts, even in the dark century of Wuhu Chaohua, a plate of loose sand has made Hu people lose blood, and now let Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang establish an organized cluster defense, and then a small number of magic circles and Ye Huolei are distributed, and they are like hedgehogs everywhere.
It can be said that the society of the Taoist Revolution broke through the limitations of the agrarian era, and the efficiency of transforming manpower and material resources into war potential increased by more than ten times.
The times are different, and the Hu people who don't realize this will soon be broken under the upgraded version of the Northern Dock Fort system, and then they will be pushed and crushed.
If there is no external interference, what awaits Murong Zheng will only be defeat.
Thinking of this, all the ministers bowed down together: "What Your Majesty said is very true, the mandate of heaven is in Han, and those who commit crimes against strong men will be punished even if they are far away." ”
