"This is a good opportunity to plunder the population!"
A strange color flashed in Qin Yuan's eyes.
He thought about it a lot.
One is to take the opportunity to recruit refugees. After all, population is also an important resource.
You can let them enter the Yanshan Mountains to build villages and cities and exert their strength.
Although the environment in the mountains is a bit harsh, it is still acceptable to the refugees who are suffering from hunger and cold, and it is better than the war-torn Pingyun County.
Although the two cities he occupied had a population of more than 500,000, most people would not accept it if the residents in the cities were to be relocated to the mountains.
But the refugees have no choice, otherwise they will not survive at all. If they encounter the army, they may be killed.
If the second refugee problem is not controlled, it will have unpredictable consequences.
You know, the entire Pingyun County has a population of more than 20 million, with cities accounting for most of it, but the population of villages and towns is at least five to six million.
Only some of them have become refugees now. If all of them became refugees, it would be an extremely terrifying scene, and the entire Pingyun County would be greatly affected.
Although Qin Yuan is not a government official, in his plan, Pingyun County has been regarded as a treasure in his pocket.
What he wants is a Pingyun County with a large population, good public security, people living and working in peace and contentment, and prosperous commerce, not a desolate land.
After all, the population of Youzhou is already sparse and cannot compare with the Central Plains.
If they go through several more wars, even if they occupy a Pingyun County, they will still be unable to compete with one-third of the population of Zhongyuan County.
Population represents the labor force and the source of soldiers, which are very important resources!
Therefore, Qin Yuan made strategic adjustments for the next few days.
The first one is still sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers and tigers. At this time, the government and the players are fighting fiercely, and he does not want to participate in it.
The second was to let Lu Zhengbing and others lead the army to eliminate more than 20 cottages that did not cooperate with Qin Yuan.
This is part of his plan.
Just take advantage of this time to deal with it. In this way, the entire Pingyun County's copycat forces and territory will fall under his control. As long as he captures these strongholds and important roads, it is equivalent to controlling the economy of Pingyun County leading to the outside world.
lifeline.
And let Lu Zhengbing and others gain some military exploits, and then select some highly armed talents to be promoted to military generals.
Like Lu Zhengbing, his original force value reached 71 points, which was not much weaker than the previous Yao Yinsheng. After he was transferred to the Black Wolf Emperor Cavalry, his force value reached 74 points.
If he were to become a general again, his strength would be comparable to that of Yao Yin Sheng Chai Wanqiang!
In addition to Lu Zhengbing, there are also some people who have a force value of 70 points. These are all excellent talents who can become military generals.
The third one is to open warehouses in Yuncheng and Zhenyancheng to provide food relief, help refugees, and attract the arrival of refugees.
Part of it can be converted into urban population. Although Yuncheng is a city, its population is only 120,000, which is too small. Even if it increases to 300,000, it will be no problem.
The other part was transferred to Qianlong Town. The construction of Qianlong Town and Lingtan Village required a large amount of labor.
He also got a few village building orders in his hand, so he can continue to go deep into the mountains and build more villages!
Especially next to that mine, a village must be built.
The fourth one, although it does not send troops to participate in the war, can add fuel to the chaos and make both the players and the government suffer.
It just lacks an important opportunity.
The next day, Qin Yuan conveyed the order, and Chai Wanqiang and Lu Zhengbing went to deal with the remaining copycat forces.
Yuncheng and Zhenyan City are open to the outside world, accepting refugees, ordinary people, and even some powerful landlords except foreigners.
He even asked Li Ruhuang's Yellow Turban followers to carry out publicity and attract a large number of people.
In the next few days, Qin Yuan just practiced daily, checked intelligence, and understood the changes in the situation.
Sure enough, as he expected, the scale of the war between the government army and the player coalition did not weaken as time went by, but instead grew larger and larger.
In particular, many players from other counties have led an influx of troops. It is said that the number has reached 200,000 to 300,000, and this number is still increasing!
Although the government troops recovered some villages and towns, more villages and towns were plundered, and two cities even fell successively.
Both the government army and the player forces began to capture strong men from all over to serve as sources of troops. Both sides have invested more than one million troops.
For the government army alone, there were 400,000 Han regular troops dispatched. Including the city guards from various cities, etc., the number of troops exceeded 600,000.
As for the players, their number is not smaller than that of the government army, but their overall strength is slightly worse.
But the advantage is that players are not afraid of death, and can be resurrected the next day even if they die in battle.
Some players have died as many as five or six times.
Most of them have the idea of deleting their accounts and starting over again after this battle.
Tonight was supposed to be the same as the previous few days, an ordinary night.
When Qin Yuan was about to practice, he was interrupted by a secret message.
This is news from the Yun family.
When he opened it and took a look, he couldn't help but frown.
But Yang Ming, Li Ruhuang, Yao Yinsheng and others were urgently summoned.
As for Tang Zhou, after receiving Zhang Jiao's order yesterday, he said goodbye to Qin Yuan and then went to Sili to perform a secret mission.
It is said that the personnel sent by the Yellow Turban headquarters will arrive in the next two days or so.
"Gongsun Fu, the governor of Shanggu County, refused to cooperate with us!"
"The head of the Yun family also mentioned that Gongsun Fu not only had no intention of stopping the rebellion in Pingyun County, but instead let it go, as if he wanted to make the matter bigger!"
"What do you think he wants to do?"
Qin Yuan passed the letter on for everyone to watch.
Although he doesn't know much about the factions in Youzhou officialdom.
However, he knew that the Taira family and the Yun family were relatively hostile.
Moreover, the two factions are in the stage of power struggle.
Above the Yun family is the governor Gongsun Fu.
The Taira family is a faction of officials affiliated with Yuyang County.
For the head of the Ping family to be the magistrate of Pingyun County, it was equivalent to putting a nail in Gongsun Fu's eyes, and he wanted to get rid of him.
"Of course these officials look down on us, those of us who come from antisocial backgrounds!"
"Let alone sitting down with the collaborators to discuss cooperation, it is difficult to even talk to them!"
Li Ruhuang raised his eyebrows and said.
Li Ruhuang has been spreading the Yellow Turban teachings to various places, and he knows the officials in various places very well, and they do not look down on people like them at all.
Not to mention officials, even some wealthy businessmen and powerful people looked down upon them.
After all, he was an orthodox official conferred by the imperial court, a prefect of a county, and held a high position of authority.
Although Qingfeng Village has gained a great reputation, it is only limited to Pingyun County and has not entered the eyes of others at all.
Moreover, they are still a group of rebels, so why should we negotiate cooperation with him?
If you really want to solve the rebellion in Pingyun County, you only need to mobilize county soldiers to suppress it.
