The main reason why Wang Liangui and the others visited the Northwest was that General Long was not ready. Although he acted quickly enough, the follow-up troops arrived too slowly. The traffic problem was really a big problem, not just for them.
It has been proposed that the six provinces in central China will have a long-term road revitalization plan in the future. This plan has not been approved yet, but it has been submitted to the prince.
Four days have passed. General Long's army has only reached 80%, and the remaining 20% are still on the road. This is why there are so many cars. If they all rely on walking
If so, I'm afraid the time will be tripled, and by the time we cross the border, the Xue brothers will not know where they went.
"In the past, we only knew about land occupation, but we didn't know about construction at all. Now we know how expensive it is to build a place. Just the road construction plan in our three southwestern provinces actually requires nine million silver coins."
General Long looked at the approved plan and didn't know what to say in his heart. The southwest region surrendered early, so their road construction plan had already been approved. This was only the construction of a few main roads, and there were still some small roads.
Without instructions, if all the small roads were to be built, the amount would probably be doubled. Before Gao Shaoyi cheated the foreign bankers, he still felt that he had a lot of money in his hands, but the sums here and there were indeed
It's somewhat insufficient.
"General, you didn't spend a lot of money there. At least the foundation was leveled before, but the Xiongnu grassland is different. Everything is starting from scratch. Do you know how much we spent there?
? It’s a full 19 million silver coins, which can be considered as repairing a few main roads, which is much more than what you spent in the three southwestern provinces. "
Guo Shuanhu sighed when he saw General Long here, and immediately dropped a bombshell. Even though he was an old man in the suppressing army, but after calculating these numbers, he was still frightened by the ability of our suppressing army to make money.
He is also very strong and has a strong ability to spend money.
"Fortunately, our prince can make money. If we relied on the court, I don't know where the money would have gone. To tell you the truth, the largest part of the public funds allocated by the court every year went into my pocket.
It’s a pity that the rest was stolen by others. Why couldn’t you remember to leave some money at that time?”
General Long said very depressedly that in the past, the three southwestern provinces could receive nearly four million silver coins in allocations every year, but one million silver coins were gone before they left the capital. Three million silver coins arrived in the three southwestern provinces, which can be said to be a drop in the bucket.
This person gets a little bit, that person gets a little bit, not to mention it falls on the common people, the soldiers can't pay their wages.
In addition, the taxes in the three southwest provinces are extremely low. Although General Long asks the court for money every year, how can the court spend the money in this place? Since a hundred years ago, this has been the place that the court values least, even if they
The contribution to the country is not small, but the country has no intention of investing here. In the eyes of the upper class, this is a high-quality source of soldiers. As long as it transports soldiers to the country every year, why bother with the economy here?
"Let's not talk about the past. We have received news from the northwest. They have gathered tens of thousands and the army has come over. However, their speed is too slow. I estimate that by the time they come over, you, old man, have already occupied
It’s Lou Jincheng.”
Guo Shuanhu marked a location on the map, which was where Jamur Khan's troops gathered. You must know that his troops usually don't stay in one place. The northwest region is vast, and each region has a certain amount of troops to fight.
They will be gathered together, and they are usually scattered everywhere. If something happens, they can get over as quickly as possible. If they are all concentrated in one place, other places will be burned down and you don't know.
"I'm not in a hurry. If I follow my original idea, I have to kill Boss Xue first, and then I can deal with Rakshasa and Jamur Khan. Now that they have gathered their troops, I have to calm down.
, if I kill Boss Xue now, will they still come here? I have to travel 700 miles to find them, what should I do if anything happens on the 700 miles journey?"
After listening to General Long's words, Guo Shuanhu smiled unkindly at the side. This is simply a personal spirit. Originally, he wanted to remind him a few words, but it seems that he doesn't need it at all. In this matter, others can see it.
Quite understandable.
"Then let's not be idle. Since there will definitely be a lot of logistical supplies needed to occupy the northwest in one fell swoop, if they can be purchased locally, then we will hurry up and buy them locally. If they are really unavailable, we will urge them to be shipped later. In addition,
Several large warehouses must be built in the middle, which is also the consistent good style of our army."
Guo Shuanhu immediately planned what he should do during this period. While everyone was busy, General Long also took out a map, which showed the large warehouses in the three southwest provinces and the things stored in the warehouses.
They have to calculate the supplies they need and then report them to the headquarters. The headquarters will allocate the supplies based on the supplies in each region. It is impossible to empty all the warehouses in one region. They have to be evenly distributed in all regions.
.
When the Suppression Army was working step by step, Jamur Khan and the others began to take action. Major General Middendorf also reported the situation here to the capital of the Rakshasa Empire, telling them the actual situation here, and
It's not that he wants to provoke a war, but that the suppressing army has bullied them to the point of bullying. If there is no counterattack, the line in the northwest region will also be cut off.
The three words about the Suppressing Army have always been a knife on the head of the Rakshasa Empire. I don’t know when it was cut off. They have been deployed in the east for so long, and the Suppressing Army defeated them in just two years.
All the steps were disrupted, and they lost so much land.
So they think about revenge all the time, but their strength in the east is really too weak, and there is only one railway line. If they rely entirely on this railway line, it will not be enough to support a huge war, but if the suppressing army arrives
As for the northwest region, it borders the central and western regions of the Rakshasa Empire, and the economic and transportation conditions are much better. So should we find a place here? This chapter has been completed!
