Chapter 459 Resistance
Wang Buxu was very sure that the Huns would definitely come back.
Although the Huns suffered considerable losses in the three battles last year, the Huns' war potential still exists.
The Western Region was basically the Xiongnu’s logistics base.
If they were defeated and damaged in the east, they could easily get supplies from the western regions.
And now the Xiongnu's heaviest losses were women, not immediate combat power.
If the Xiongnu did not commit suicide, they would always want to fight to the death with the Han Dynasty.
"At least within ten to twenty years, the combat effectiveness can still maintain the status quo."
"The Huns can make up for the loss of their women by plundering in the Western Regions, so as to continue to breed the next generation!"
"That place in the Western Region is full of unknowns, but according to records, the strength there is not strong and it does not pose much of a threat to the Xiongnu."
"If the big Han only cares about the present and lets the Xiongnu manage the Western Region into their stable rear base camp, it will be difficult for them to fight again..."
"The march into the Western Regions is not just to expand the territory of the Han Dynasty, but to rob the Xiongnu of their living space!"
"Therefore, it is imperative to march into the Western Regions!" Wang Buxu said extremely firmly.
Wang Buxu's words couldn't help but bring everyone into reality.
If the Huns had made the distant Western Region their base camp, wouldn't the situation on the battlefield be the same as that of the Han Dynasty today?
Within the Great Wall, there was the rear area of the Han Dynasty, and there were logistics warehouses that could continuously provide support to the front line at any time.
And once the Western Region becomes the base camp of the Xiongnu, the Huns can also obtain support and supplies through the Western Region, so as to fight a protracted war with the Han in the east.
Not to mention that the king was not hungry, even these ministers felt that they could not accept this result.
"Your Majesty, the preliminary preparations can be discussed, but as for the specific actions, I still think it is better to slow down." The mature and steady Chen Ping thought for a while and then said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, we can make the preparations ahead. For the specific actions, we can wait until Lu Jia comes back and then we can do it in a targeted manner." Xiao He quickly followed up and agreed.
Wang Buxu rolled his eyes at everyone, and then looked at Guan Ying again.
It felt bad to be stared at by Wang Buxu, but since he was being stared at by the emperor, he couldn't continue to pretend to be dead.
"Your Majesty, I think we can appropriately increase the number of troops in the north. At the same time, I will tell Han Xin the news about the possible invasion of the Western Regions, so that the soldiers can prepare in advance. When and how to move, it is more appropriate to wait for Lu Jia to come back. After all, the Western Regions
It's not the Huns, and the scout headquarters didn't conduct any preliminary investigation..." As he spoke, Guan Ying couldn't help but lower his head. He knew that his answer was not necessarily what Wang Buxu wanted to hear.
"Okay, let's do what you said!" Wang Buxu felt very disappointed, but all the ministers he respected gave objections, and Wang Buxu didn't want to use magic sticks to solve the problem.
This is the problem.
Inappropriate!
Besides, there are really many dangers in the Western Region.
The most important thing is that the Han Dynasty is not yet ready to fully enter the Western Regions.
It cannot be said that the ministers' suggestions are wrong. It can only be said that my thoughts are flying so fast that the ministers cannot keep up with them.
"Your Majesty, I plan to divide next year's recruits into 50,000 soldiers in the Nanjun Barracks, 30,000 in the Yunzhong Barracks, 30,000 in each county, and 25,000 in the Shuzhong Barracks." Guan Ying continued to ask for instructions, although he also saw that the emperor
This will be emotionally draining.
But what can I do?
This is what I originally planned to report today.
Regarding the issue of the Western Regions, it was entirely Wang Buxu who intervened temporarily.
As for rescheduling the report?
Doesn't exist.
It is now the fourth year of Jianyuan, which is the seventh year of Han Dynasty.
After seven years of hard work, Dahan's various systems have gradually begun to improve.
For example, the meeting system of the previous dynasty was changed just last year.
The reason is that the emperor said that the meeting took too much time, and the content of the meeting was not nutritious at all. There was water everywhere, which was a huge waste of limited time.
Rather than having the time to go to meetings every day, it would be better to go out more often and review more memorials.
So, Wang Buxu waved his hand.
change!
Change them all!
Whether you are diligent or not does not depend on whether you go to court every day and attend meetings every day.
It depends on whether you can make the most correct decision when you are needed most.
Therefore, the new Shang Dynasty system has undergone completely new reforms.
There is a small morning meeting on the tenth day and a morning meeting on the first day of each month. This system has not changed.
What has changed is the cabinet meeting and the ministerial meeting.
The previous system was to hold a ministerial meeting every day and then immediately go to the cabinet meeting. For cabinet members, basically every morning was spent in meetings.
Although Wang Buxian can be lazy, he can't be lazy all the time. He just needs to skip work every once in a while. If he does this every day, he can't survive this day?
It would be better to change it directly so that it would be more convenient for everyone.
As a result, the ministerial meeting and cabinet meeting were all changed to once every five days.
The Shangshu meeting is held on the fourth day of a new cycle, and the cabinet meeting is on the fifth day.
And Wang Buxu also directly and selectively attended the meeting of ministers. Whether he went or not all depended on his mood.
But officials will be sent to take notes, and Wang Buxu will definitely attend the cabinet meeting.
In this way, the original meeting every day was changed to two meetings every ten days, and my daily life became a lot easier.
For Guan Ying, if he missed today's report, he would have to wait until the cabinet meeting ten days later to report again.
Such major matters will not be brought up to the court without the approval of the cabinet, and matters that are brought up to the court are basically finalized matters.
In addition, as to whether this plan can be finalized in one fell swoop and whether it needs to be changed, Guanying must set aside enough time for this.
Even if you only change it once, it will take at least ten days to delay it. If you dare to delay it twice, it will be a month after you finish the change and the emperor approves it, and the order is issued.
A major military matter has been delayed for a month...
Fortunately, this was done in advance, so there was no rush.
Although you can meet the emperor directly or hold temporary cabinet meetings at critical moments, no one wants to do this special thing every day, right?
Listening to Guan Ying's report, Wang Buxu frowned slightly and said, "The Nanjun Barracks already has 150,000 troops, right?"
"Less than 160,000..." Guan Ying nodded.
Last year's recruits were originally recruited for the Nanjun Barracks. There were more than 130,000 recruits, all of whom were recruits from the Nanjun Barracks.
However, due to sudden changes in the north, the distribution of soldiers was forced to change, so all these new soldiers had to be pulled to the north.
After the situation in the north stabilized, the new recruits did not come back and were trained directly in the north for cavalry training.
So this year's 140,000 new recruits were all given to the Nanjun Barracks.
In addition to the original less than 20,000 people in the Nanjun Barracks, there are now nearly 160,000 jungle troops stationed there.
"Two hundred thousand yuan will be replenished for the Nanjun Barracks, and the rest will be sent to the Shuzhong Barracks!" Wang Buxu waved his hand and once again changed the arrangements for Guan Ying.
Of course Wang Buxu knew about the problem of changing the recruit allocation plan at will, but again, it was just a preliminary plan now and he could change it at will. At most, it would be something that the Ministry of War would be busy with for a few days.
But once this matter is determined, if you change it, it will be a big problem.
It’s not just individuals who are making progress, the whole nation is making progress.
After the Ministry of War determines the distribution plan, it must coordinate all aspects and begin to transport the equipment of these new recruits to the station in advance to ensure that they will have enough equipment when they arrive at the place of service.
The cavalry in the north, the jungle army in the south, and the mountain army in the southwest all have different equipment, and even their armors are different.
Therefore, if you change it after it is determined, the entire empire's plan will be disrupted, and a lot of manpower and material resources will be wasted.
"Sichuan Military Camp???" Guan Ying's eyes suddenly widened, what kind of slutty move is this girl doing?
"Well...Your Majesty...we haven't started building the equipment for the Mountain Army yet..." Wang Ling lowered his head shyly.
Isn't the strategy of the empire north and south?
Naturally, the creation of weapons had to focus on the north and south first. After it was determined to regain the south, the focus of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry shifted to the south.
There are 200,000 Han troops stationed at the border of the Great Wall in the north, which is safe enough.
Therefore, the Ministry of Industry has been building equipment for the jungle army throughout this year.
What do you mean by the sudden appearance of a mountain army?
"Next year will be the fifth year of Jianyuan..." Wang Buxian said meaningfully.
"It's the fifth year of Jianyuan..." Everyone was stunned for a moment, what does this have to do with the fifth year of Jianyuan?
"The next six years of Jianyuan will be..." Wang Buxian said again.
Yes, we can count this number. Our IQ is not that low yet, right?
It seems like there is no need to be reminded like this, right?
However, even Zhang Buyi, who was standing behind Wang Buxu, couldn't stand it anymore.
That's it?
Everyone claims to be a smart person. Even I, Lao Zhang, can understand what the emperor means, but you guys are all confused and confused.
"Your Majesty, the brothers of the Forbidden Army are the hardest working in the whole army. Although the size of our army is increasing every year, the size of the Forbidden Army is also increasing. Those who go out every year are far behind those who come in every year. This group of brothers
They are all good. You have not seen how hard they train. When they are scolded, beaten or physically punished, they will never resist with their mouths or hands. Instead, they will slap me in the face with their results. To put it bluntly,
To be honest, I can’t bear to let these brothers go. How about you give me more places next year? Even if we can’t let them all go out to become officers, at least they can stay and train new people, right?”
'hiss……'
