Chapter 204 Our Goal (3)
"Well. Very good, this will solve forty thousand people. Next, the Grand Sima Mansion issued a notice, with the four counties of Shu County, Ba County, Brazil County and Guanghan County as the core, and according to the principle of three Dings to draw one, 20,000 soldiers were recruited. Hey, why are you all looking at me? What's your look?"
"Hehehe." Everyone smiled awkwardly, and finally Zhuge Jing stood up and said, "Sima, my subordinates were frightened when they heard that you wanted to expand the army of 60,000. But later, after hearing your arrangement, the first 40,000 people in front basically had no impact on the people's livelihood of the Han Dynasty. We thought that the next 20,000 people would not need to recruit Han people from the mainland."
I'm K, what are you thinking? Now the population in the government's civil book has increased by about 400,000, and I'm very restrained from recruiting 20,000 troops from it, okay? Besides, there are too many alien troops? If the national armed forces are less, these alien troops will be backfired! Forget it, there will be people from other ethnic groups in the venue, so don't say these words - in short, long live the great unity of the nation!
"Uncle San, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Haha, okay. After staying in Chengdu for a long time, the bones in the whole body were almost slurry." After a habitual remark, Guan Suo seriously offered the order: "Please rest assured that the New Yulin Legion will never be like two years ago."
"Of course, I have deep confidence in handling this matter with my third uncle. Well, my uncle, please follow my third uncle to go to Yulin for training. Do it well and don't lose your father's reputation as the number one general of the great man!"
"Please rest assured, uncle, Jiang Suding studied hard in Yulin and would do his best to revive the Han Dynasty in the future!"
"What about you, the uncle, this person, and this person, I will leave it to you."
The other two people Guan Yi mentioned were Zhang Yi's son Zhang Wei and Luo Xian's son Luo Xi. Putting the two sons of the Yizhou military leaders in the Yulin Army, which is now firmly controlled by the Fuxing Department, is both a win-win and a hostage. This is something that must be done in political struggle.
"Thank you, Grand Sima, for letting us go to office. Please rest assured. We will definitely study hard in the Yulin Army. In the future, Grand Sima will be willing to be a pioneer when the Northern Expedition of the North!"
"Hahaha, okay. I'm looking forward to the performance of the two major generals at that time. Okay, the matter of recruitment has come to this for the time being. The fifth thing is to build roads."
The Shu Road is difficult. If you don’t have a good transportation, it will be useless to store any food and grass in Guanyi.
"The first phase of the experiment of setting up ziplines between the two mountains has been completed. This year, three cableways have been set up in Zitong County, and the use effect is very good. I mean, in places where mountains are concentrated, ziplines should be set up as much as possible. At the same time, the plank road should be reinforced. In the future, people and horses will walk along the plank road, and food, weapons, armor and other things will be taken from the air. In this way, the consumption of food can be reduced by at least half!"
"This is a huge project. Given that the country's grain reserves have begun to take shape in the past two years, Dasiong, after the Shujin is exported in the future, there is no need to buy grain from Dongwu. We now have a lot of food and less cash. This structure needs to be slightly adjusted."
"Affect the order."
"Well, Shulong (Li Xiang) is responsible for the coordination of setting up ziplines and strengthening of plank roads across the country. Officials from all over the country should actively cooperate. If you dare to neglect your duties and cause the project progress to be delayed, Chaozong, do you know what to do?"
"Don't worry, Grand Sima, we will definitely do this."
"Good!" clapped his hands and boosted everyone's attention for a while, Guan Yi stood up: "Everyone, next year, the fourth year of Yanxing is a key year that determines whether our future Northern Expedition will be successful. So everyone's burden is very heavy. Recently, I have heard some different opinions. Some people say that Jin has just completed the Zen era and urgently needs to stabilize the domestic situation. Therefore, we will not invade our great man in the short term. We might as well take this time to rest and recuperate. Some people say that since the pseudo-Wei no longer exists, then our Northern Expedition will not have the name of usurping the rebellion. After the new king of the Eastern Wu took office, it caused turmoil in the court and the opposition. Why don't we go to the east of the Yangtze River and take back Jingzhou... These ideas make sense. However, I will not adopt them!"
Taking a deep breath, looking at the crowd with complex eyes below, Guan Yiyu said earnestly: "Everyone, my Han Dynasty is now located in a corner of Yizhou, but in fact it has never been able to solve the survival crisis. Compared with the two countries of Jin and Wu, our country has a small population, few land, many mountains, and the governance cost is high. The potential of national development is far less than that of Jin and Wu. If the three countries have been recuperating for a long time, the final result will definitely be that my Han Dynasty will be the first to perish. Therefore, if we want to survive in this world, we must fight it out!"
"So, since we have to fight, why can't we fight Jingzhou first? Compared with Jin, the Eastern Wu is much weaker, right? But let's not talk about how many troops can be drawn to attack Wu when our country maintains enough troops on the northern front. Even if we defeat Jingzhou, can we defend it? It is a place of four battles. Before our country's national strength is strong enough, we cannot maintain two but three fronts at the same time!
But unfortunately, once we take down Jingzhou of the Eastern Wu, in Jingzhou, we will be attacked by both sides of Jin and Wu. Hanzhong will also face tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the Yongliang War Zone of Jin. Moreover, Dongwu, who lost Jingzhou, will inevitably take strong revenge on our country and do our best to cause trouble in Nanzhong. At that time, we will lose one thing and the other, and if we are not careful, we will collapse in a complete way!"
"So, to survive, you must fight out. And to fight out, the only direction is Yongliang! Guan Yi hopes that everyone can remember this well. I can have multiple voices in the Fuxing Society. However, there can only be one goal! Within three or five years, this goal can only be Yongliang!"
Speaking of this, everyone below stood up: "Brother (Master Sima) has a far-sighted vision, and we are convinced. I dare not do my best to do my best for the Northern Expedition!"
Alas, how many people here are saying this sincerely. Forget it, everyone here is a hero. They have their own independent thoughts and their own personal interests to consider. My body was shocked, and everyone was convinced and completely loyal to them? That was a magic movie, not a historical drama.
After the meeting ended, Guan Yi kept Sun Gang, Chen Can and Luo Xi.
"I will go to the East Palace to report to the prince today's meeting later. Time is very tight, so let's talk about it for a long time. Bo Yu, what does Bu Chan mean?"
Speaking of which, Bu Zhi's two sons, the eldest son Bu Xie, had already died at this time. The second son Bu Chan Bu Er Ye did indeed successfully obtain the position of Xiling Governor by bribing Puyang Xing as in the historical realm.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After Sun Hao came to power, he was not as gentle as his two uncles before. He directly destroyed the three tribes of Puyang Xing with a storm. He began to retaliate against the forces of the Lu King Party in the past.
Although Sun Hao and Zhong Hui used the name of household tax filing, can't anyone still see this kind of thing clearly? If you want to check household tax, why don't you check the Zhang family, Lu family, Lu family, and insist on starting with the whole family, Wu family (Wu Jing), and Lu family (Lu Dai). Who doesn't know what you want to do?
The backer in the court fell, and the deposed crown prince Sun He's son ascended the throne. Moreover, the emperor obviously did not have the heart to embrace all things, but instead seemed to be vengeful. He had only been in power for less than two years, and he was impatient to attack the Lu King Party - filial son, you are too impatient to avenge your father.
(Sun Hao: If you come to my childhood life and death, and the dying life, you will know my mood.)
In the basic plane of history, when Sun Hao took office, Shu Han had already perished. So Bu Chan had no choice but to surrender to Jin State. But it was different at this time. Shu Han was still there, and the head of Shu Han was still good brothers he didn't know!
"Brother, Bu Zhongsi means that if Emperor Wu forces their Bu family like this, he will be ready to present Xiling to our Han Dynasty. But the problem is here. There is a Jianping County between the Badong County of our Han Dynasty and the Xiling County of his Bu family."
"If we don't consider this, if we take Xiling at this time, it will inevitably lead to a full-scale war with the Eastern Wu. The newly promoted emperor there is a madman, and no one can stop him from going crazy."
"I think so too. So I reply to Bu Zhongsi to ask him to arrange one of his sons to come to my man as a backup."
"Haha, what do Bu Zhongsi say?"
"He said that if my great man did not have the courage to accept him, he would have no choice but to surrender to Jin."
"Well, huh, with Lu Youjie here, he may not be able to surrender smoothly. Dinglie, how did you build your big ship in Bajun?"
"If you are the elder brother, Bajun has built thirty new tower ships and 100 new trolleys. They all have been installed according to your design, and rods and winch trenchers are installed. With these things, I am confident to fight against the Dongwu naval army."
"Oh, it's a pity that Kong Shuo was left in Yongchang County by me." After deeply feeling the regret that our side was not as good as the navy general, Guan Yi said to Luo Xi: "Zicheng, what do you say from your father?"
"Da Sima, my father said that in the Three Gorges, the water flows fast in summer. When passing Kuimen, the big ship will be impacted by the water flow and cannot be controlled. If you are not lucky and hit the reef in the heart of the river, the ship will be destined to be destroyed. Moreover, even if you are lucky, you will rush out, it will be troublesome to come back: the water flows too fast, without a large number of trainers pulling, and the big ship will not be able to go upstream at all. Therefore, if the big Sima wants to pick up Ying Bu's family, he can only choose to send troops in the dry season in winter."
Chapter completed!
