The West Sea was the Qing｜Hai Lake in later generations, while the coal veins were in the Long｜dong region in later generations, and the iron ore veins were near Jia｜yu｜Guan in later generations.
This is the border of Gansu and Gansu!
And Ying Gao is from Gansu, so he knows this place very well. However, after thousands of years of vicissitudes, this place may not be the same as it will be in later generations.
This time, the circle Ying Gao drew for Ying Zheng was the land of the two provinces, which was also the boundary between Liangzhou and Xihai.
Here, raising people is easy.
The population of Great Qin is not large to begin with, so it is imperative to increase the population. The population must be increased, and then the population of Great Qin can be doubled several times in a row within ten years.
It can reach 50 to 60 million, and even when he accepted Da Qin, the population reached 100 million.
Although it is difficult, it is not impossible. In this era, people have nothing to do, and apart from any pleasure, the rest is all depression.
Then seize Champa rice, and then go to sea to search for sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, etc. As long as there is no hunger and cold, and with the encouragement of the imperial court, it is possible for a large population explosion to occur.
When the population reaches a certain level, and when the Qin Dynasty becomes more and more prosperous, it will not be difficult for the Qin Dynasty court to organize an army of millions.
Therefore, Ying Gao planned to promote the development of ironware, and then use Shang Gongfang, Shaofu, and his laboratory to further develop Da Qin's handicraft industry.
If we can replace labor with machinery, it will be a leap forward.
"Assemble an army of 300,000 to 400,000 to attack the northwest?" Ying Zheng's eyes were deep, and he knew in his heart that this matter would definitely destabilize the entire Qin Dynasty.
The expedition of 300,000 to 400,000 Great Qin warriors will surely cause a sensation among the Great Qin warriors and bring about upheaval to the nations of the Central Plains.
Ying Zheng looked at Ying Gao, who was still a young man, and felt a little emotional. Hundreds of thousands of troops were dispatched at every turn.
Such a person is too evil.
Ying Zheng believed that even Bai Qi, the Lord of Wu'an back then, had not achieved such great achievements at this age.
"I will discuss it with the Lieutenant, the General, the Zhisu Nei History Office and others before making a decision." Ying Zheng glanced at Ying Gao, smiled bitterly, and said, "You should deal with the matter at hand first, and then we will talk."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Ying Gao turned around and left. He was a little tired and wanted to go back to rest. What's more, with hundreds of thousands of troops involved in the battle for a country's national destiny, he believed that Ying Zheng would not make a decision easily.
Any war requires detailed planning.
Not fighting an uncertain battle is what Ying Zheng needs to insist on at the moment. After all, now, the entire Great Qin has already occupied an absolute advantage, and it only needs to be crushed openly and openly.
This is the confidence of Da Qin and the self-confidence of Qin Wangzheng.
Ying Gao naturally understood this, so when he heard these words, he left Xianyang Palace. Some things were too important, almost negating all the original national policies of Great Qin, and once again deployed like this
It takes a lot of determination to do it.
Although such determination is not something that a person can just have, Ying Gao believes in Ying Zheng.
It's just that the current Ying Zheng is not the unparalleled emperor in later generations. He is just the King of Qin. Although he is powerful, he is not as strong as the one in later generations who has gone through ups and downs and is already invincible.
He knew in his heart that such a decision would take time. Just as it happened, Ying Gao had plenty of time at this time.
........
Looking at the night sky outside the window, thoughts flickered in Ying Zheng's mind. Whether it was going south or conquering the northwest, Ying Gao's words completely disrupted his plan.
However, he was equally attracted by the grand occasion described by Ying Gao.
As an emperor, no one wants to see the sun never set on the land of Qin.
What's more, he is Ying Zheng.
As the king of a country, he naturally sensed Ying Gao's ambition and the purpose of these arrangements from his words.
Obviously, Ying Gao's various arrangements are all to increase Da Qin's war heritage and increase Da Qin's war potential.
In the final analysis, whether it is going south or conquering the northwest, it is all to prepare for future wars.
At this time, Ying Zheng's only hesitation was whether this could achieve the grand occasion in his mind.
"The number of the 150,000 Python Bird Army, the 30,000 Victory Army, and the local Imperial Guard Army is already close to 200,000. However, the 100,000 army led by Ying Gao going south will be 300,000 strong once it advances to the northwest.
.”
Ying Zheng did some calculations in his mind and found that after sending troops to the northwest, he only needed to provide food, grass and weapons, and there was no need to increase additional troops at all. This made Ying Zheng feel relieved.
At this moment, he felt that this battle was very feasible.
........
Returning to the mansion, Ying Gao took a sip of the freshly cooked sheep soup, warmed his stomach, and said to Tie Ying, "Find Shang Yang and Bai Ze, and similarly find Wang Li and Meng Liao."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Tie Ying turned around and left.
He knew in his heart that the entire Qin Dynasty was busy with the matter of going south. It seemed that the matter had already come to an end, and Ying Gao had begun to make arrangements.
For Tie Ying and others, following Ying Gao means victory is certain.
This is the sharpness and prestige that Ying Gao displayed in his first battle. Just the name Gongzi Gao will make people believe that he will win this battle.
But Tie Ying didn't know clearly that this time he was not facing Nanqi, but his former friends of the covenant.
.......
"My subordinate has met the young master!"
After a while, everyone arrived. After seeing Ying Gao, they all saluted and said.
"We're all here, then take a seat by yourself!"
Ying Gao looked at Shang Yang and others and said, "It's already cold tonight. Tie Ying will give each of them a bowl of mutton soup to warm them up!"
"promise."
........
"Shang Yang, the Peacock Chamber of Commerce is stationed in Fuqi City in the West Sea, conducting trade with the remnants of the Rong Di and Dayue clan. How much do you know about these two major forces?" Ying Zheng took a sip of mutton soup, looked at Shang Yang and said
.
After hearing this, Shang Yang pondered for a moment, then turned to Ying Gao and said, "Sir, my subordinates have conducted investigations on the remnants of Rong Di and Dayue clan!"
"These two countries have greatly increased their strength due to the weapons and salt they obtained from their trade with us. However, they are also extremely scarce in weapons and salt."
"The Python Bird Army has all been converted into cavalry with one man and three horses. General Li Xin has trained the army, and its combat power has greatly increased. On the battlefield, it is not inferior to the remnants of Rong Di and the Da Yuezhi army, but it is still better than our Da Qin warriors.
Almost."
"The economic situation between the two countries is very poor. They basically rely on cattle, sheep and horses to survive. However, the Yueshi are so powerful that at this time, the Huns are no match. Even the crown prince is being held hostage by the Yueshi."
"The remnants of Rongdi are weak, and they basically went all out the last time!"
