The Han Dynasty does not care whether Rome can knock on the Yuan family or not. Huangfu Song and the elite army are gone. This is the limit that the Han Dynasty can support now. Even if it will be uncomfortable in the future, the primary goal now is to kill Gui.
Frost.
Even if the strength of the Han Dynasty reaches its current level, it will be difficult to win a war with Rome and Kushan at the same time. Unless the distance between the three parties is close to a certain extent, even if it is imagined, the Han Dynasty will overthrow Rome and Kushan.
Kushan can only be polished slowly.
If Chen Xi had not known the importance of the Eastern European Plains, he would have probably sat back and watched Rome beat the Yuan family, because in terms of national policy, the Ganges Plain was the next focus.
"Defeated?" Jia Xu said calmly as Chen Xi handed over a secret report, "The loss was close to 30,000. Even if some soldiers can recover, the loss this time is too heavy."
"It's still within the tolerance range." Chen Xi just took a general look and sighed. He knew very well how difficult foreign wars were. The most severe foreign wars of the Han Dynasty only had a winning rate of about 50%, and they were fought against the kingdom.
Instead of the empire, replace it with Kushan, which is hard to chew.
After all, it was an expedition with laborious troops, and there were problems in all aspects of logistics. Kushan was fighting on the local territory and was familiar with the terrain. It was normal that the Han Dynasty did not gain favor. It was accomplished overnight, and even Chen Xi could not believe it.
To be honest, can Kuishang be worse than the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty? Well, even if it is worse, how bad can it be? However, even in such a bad Qing Dynasty, the Qing-French War was barely won. At the beginning,
France has the best army in the world and has been recognized by many major powers. However, it still capsized in the face of the Qing Dynasty.
What's more important is that this was not fought on home soil. The main battlefield of both sides was in Vietnam. Both were remote-controlled wars. In this way, they had entered the industrial age. France, which was the leader in combat power among the powers, and the Qing Dynasty, which future generations complained about every day, were the result of the battle.
It's a lose-lose situation...
What's more, they can boast that the Qing Dynasty won this battle. At least the Qing Dynasty was not injured in this battle, and there was no major turmoil. The French Prime Minister Jouferry and others who initiated this battle
The cabinet collectively collapsed, the first-class powers, the world's largest army, the best of the industrial countries of the time defeated the most despised feudal scum in later generations of China, the Qing Dynasty, all achieved such results...
Chen Xi has a very calm attitude towards the outcome of any foreign war. He is not afraid of losing. As long as he can afford to lose, he will win back sooner or later. However, the loss of nearly 30,000 people makes Chen Xi have to treat it with caution. After all, this scale is really large.
It's a little too big.
"I thought you would scold Wen Ru and others!" Jia Xu said with a smile.
"What's the point of scolding? I've worked so hard to balance the situation in the Central Plains, develop industry and commerce, and make the country and people as prosperous as possible. Isn't that just to give them the confidence to lose on the front line? Where are our reinforcements?" Chen Xi said with a sneer,
"Isn't it just Kushan? How many times can we win?"
"Thirty-seven seventh-generation ships have already launched from Donglai." Pang Tong flipped through the information and sent Chen Xi back accurate data.
"Tell Zhou Gongjin to let him fight. If he can sink a fleet, he can produce a fleet in the rear." Chen Xi said with a little arrogance. Recently, this guy's momentum has been really strong, and 80% of them are too.
Because when Cai Chen was full moon, there were a group of people giving gifts, and every one of them dared to mention what happened, which greatly reduced Chen Xi's awe.
The combined fighting power of you scumbags is not as good as that of the wives in my backyard. This is probably what Chen Xi said when giving gifts to major aristocratic families.
As the Zhang family, Gu family, and Zhu family were also moved to the shipyard to start building warships, as the craftsmen of these families gradually mastered the technical essentials, the seventh-generation ships that originally took a long time to build began to be thrown into the sea one by one.
.
The accumulation that started in the Taishan era finally has value now. The materials are open for use. As long as the workers can be in place, it doesn’t matter how many lines are opened. Therefore, seventh-generation ships began to be launched one after another. Now, with the skilled craftsmen
More and more, the technology of the castrated seventh-generation ships has matured to the level of modularity, and each ship has the same number of parts...
Those people from the Lu family just used vernier calipers and precise weights and measures to make standard parts, and then used hammers to hammer out the standard parts bit by bit. The next seven generations of ships were forced to be assembled into streamlined assembly of small parts by these people. It has to be said.
The information that Sourishi came out to send allowed this group of people to complete the last link of modularization.
The result is that on average, the Han Dynasty shipyard can throw a seventh-generation ship into the sea in more than ten days. With this efficiency, Chen Xi feels that tactics no longer matter. If Guishang is calm, he will find that he has no ships, and the Han army
The ship is still exploding like crazy like ctrl+c and ctrl+v. From what I know now, the Kushan navy is probably hopeless.
Even if you can win in the early stage, you will eventually become a grindstone and be crushed to death by the Han army. After all, unlike the army, which is about tactics and soldiers, the navy is simpler and is directly a technical issue. Conceptual techniques and tactics are also very important.
, but industrial strength makes up for everything.
"Where's the Army?" Chen Xi turned to look at Jia Xu, what would happen if they lost? They still couldn't afford to lose? Since they can afford to lose, there's nothing to be afraid of.
"General Zhang has led eight thousand Youyun Cavalry to the area near Wenjia in Indochina, and should be able to reach the Ganges River by the end of the month. General Zhao has replaced eight thousand fine cavalry, which needs to be adjusted. It is a little slower." Although Jia Xu said that for Chen Xi
I am not satisfied with some of what Chen Xi said, but I think there is generally nothing wrong with what Chen Xi said.
"Forty thousand pairs of talents, where are the forty thousand city managers?" Chen Xi didn't care about Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. There will definitely be no problem with these two. Zhang Fei has the power to straighten his way. It is not easy for anyone to defeat someone like Zhao Yun.
, quite strong.
"Thanks to you, this group of people are now almost the same as Yide." Jia Xu sighed lightly, cavalry is good, but if not, even mounted infantry is good, at least they are fast.
Chen Xi usually doesn't take action, but since he decided to take action, there must be some use for it. The 40,000 pairs of talents are super elite, and the 40,000 pairs of qualities and wills are all up to standard. However, he has not achieved the dual talents, and he is planning to use them to supplement the urban management.
Although I don’t know how bad the situation in Guishang is, Chen Xi thinks that fifty thousand pairs of talents cannot solve the problem. One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand is not enough to two hundred thousand. I, Chen Xi, have nothing else. I have accumulated veterans for so many years, and I will give you two talents to super elites.
There is no problem in gathering the size of the Roman Eagle Legion, and they all have reserve legions!
Therefore, after confirming that the Central Asian issue was completely resolved, Kuai Yue made a solid move and acquired basically all the east of the Zagros Mountains. The dividing line of Media has almost become a verbal constraint, and Rome also reluctantly signed it.
After signing the covenant, the Han Dynasty, which had one hand free, could finally seriously teach Kushan how to behave.
In this case, Chen Xi mobilized almost all the forces in the country. Cao Cao's elite, Liu Bei's elite, and Sun Ce's elite were all invested. Can't you Guishang be able to fight? Don't you Guishan have the confidence to roar at the court?
Come on? Come on, brother, let me show you a baby.
Cao Cao sent 150,000 troops, and Chen Xi allocated 30,000 elite reserves to Cao Cao. Counting Cao Cao's own hand, when they arrived at the junction of Beigui and An'an, if Cao Cao couldn't get 100,000 troops, then Cao Cao would not
Become the lord.
After that, Lu Lu Liu Bei shook his head and said nothing. He first replenished Guan Yu with a full set of three talents, and then replenished Hua Xiong and Li Jue. No one, are you kidding me? You have been hoarding it for so many years. If you don't do anything,
So, since it is used, it is the rhythm of destroying the country!
Aren’t you Guishuang very capable? Come, come, come and experience the country-destroying combination of our Han Dynasty.
"This strength is a bit weak." Chen Xi thought for a while and gave an evaluation. There are 200,000 super elites. There are no junk fish. The best ones are the elites of Zhang Ren's army. However, it is not enough to defeat Gui at this level.
There is no problem with frost, but there is no hope of winning completely.
"We now have a large-scale army of regular soldiers, but we can't get through." Jia Xu said helplessly, "The road in Sichuan and Sichuan is being built, and we are on schedule, but it will not be until the year after next at the earliest, and there are so many of us going there.
After this wave of fighting, you also need to take a break, even if you don't need it, other people and the common people need to take a break."
Chen Xi nodded when he heard this. After all, this is a foreign war. The homesickness of the soldiers must be resolved. Even if they can win all the time, it will take some time to relax. However, the distance is too far. It is so far away that it takes more than half a year to go back and forth.
level, unless the road is completely repaired.
"How is the road to the south of Yuan Highway being built? I urge them to make progress. It's too slow. It's not a viaduct, or it's just an ordinary road." Chen Xi looked at Jia Xu calmly, the huge
There are fewer and fewer people in the Government Affairs Office now.
"It is already accelerating, and manpower has been allocated from various places to provide support. However, there are too many places that need to build roads, and the support from various places is limited." Jia Xu said helplessly. Now more and more people are realizing the importance of roads.
value, road construction has naturally become a top priority.
However, the more this happens, the more manpower is lacking. After all, in this era, at most, there are only 7% of unemployed people, who need to be used in various industries such as war, handicrafts, mining, etc. These 7% of the population are being robbed by so many industries.
Naturally, there is a shortage of land everywhere. After all, the size of the fields cannot be changed, and 90% of the people must be engaged in farming!
"The population gap in the country is still quite large. Zhong Yuanchang was asked to make population policy, and others ran away, and what he handed over was really not on the table. He also proposed such dirty tricks as lowering the marriage age.
, I have already put it down to the age of fourteen, let it go!" Thinking of this, Chen Xi couldn't help but scolded the unreliable Zhong Yao, that guy has no moral integrity and no bottom line.
