560 Hexi State
Ma Heng sent a telegram. The main problem is concentrated in Hexi, where some Xiongnu herdsmen have a very good attitude towards us. Ma Heng believes that with the gradual increase of commercial power there, we should manage it in a timely manner, and at least we should make our situation more favorable. Jia Xu said.
"You mean to say that we are going to set up a Hexi state again?" Shang Wu said.
"Well, that's how it should be. After all, the management there is still very backward, and it is only the military management, and the management is relatively backward, because the military management is considering the problem from a military point of view, and the problems they consider are rather extreme and biased, and in such a situation, it is not the most favorable situation to want to reverse such a situation. Jia Xu said.
"But when you set up a Hexi state, there will be a lot of opportunities very quickly, and a lot of local officials will get involved, and there will be resettlement, and factories will be built, and then a lot of things will become much more favorable." Because production there has stabilized, and the army can concentrate on operations, Hexi Prefecture will become our big rear. Most importantly, it forms a basis for our next military operation. Jia Xu said.
"That's not all." Shang Wu said.
"We will build more states in the future. It's a lot of experience for us, so that we can quickly generalize and build on most things. We only need to establish one state at a time, and in the end, the Huns, and other northern minorities will control a lot less areas one by one. If we build a state, or two states, a year, that's a big win for us. Shang Wu said.
How can Shangwu not see the benefits behind this, in such a situation, their benefits will become very great, and even, in many cases, they will develop quickly without thinking much about the problem. The unit of a state is much smaller than the scope of a state in the imperial sense. But his political role is very large, and the establishment of a state means stability, the establishment of economic order. In fact, military districts are only expedient, and the real management of a place is still the state. Only by establishing a state can they completely make their situation more favorable.
"Well, that's a point, so we have to get to that point as soon as possible." Jia Xu said.
"However, there are still some differences between states and states, we should see that there are still some herders in the local area, if we exclude these herders, we will not get the support of the local people, and at the same time, we can't rely too much on the people who have migrated to do such things, because this situation is a big threat to us, in such a state, if we want to accomplish such and such things, we must properly complete many, many other things, only so, In order to make our situation much more favorable, so that our situation can be completely improved. That's what we should be aware of at the moment. Shang Wu continued.
"Well, that's true. If we focus too much on our own interests, it will lead to the dissatisfaction of these herders, and then there will be a lot of division, and it is still very important for us not to do a lot of things because we can't do it. Jia Xu nodded and said.
"Therefore, our parliamentary system must play a good role, otherwise, our system will be blind, we may not be able to gain a firm foothold in the west of the river, and the Hetao, and the broader grasslands in the north will not be able to gain a foothold at all, and finally our situation will be in an extremely unfavorable situation, which is really not something we can properly handle." Shang Wu said worriedly.
"In this way, it mainly depends on the candidate. If you can quickly gather such a group of people, this is also a big deal. Jia Xu said. Shang Wu nodded in agreement with such a thing, and in such a situation, many of their things would become more favorable. This is the most important thing they should be aware of at the moment.
"Let Ma deal with this matter with his hands crossed, he will select the right man, we will not intervene in such a matter, although our telegram can quickly understand and grasp the situation, but there are still more unfavorable things that cause us great trouble. It's more convenient for the locals to deal with such things themselves. Shang Wu said. Jia Xu nodded in agreement with this point, Shangwu can grasp the big strategic situation, as for the specific situation, some people will do better, Jia Xu is not worried about this at all, because in this situation they will definitely do more favorable.
"How's the situation with the Huns? The war in Hexi is nearing its end, although the battle is not very exciting, and many people say that their situation is not too good, but after all, this is a war, and our purpose is not to go to war, if the fight is very fierce, we will not fight like this. Shang Wu said.
"Well, according to the intelligence services, at the moment we are only on the periphery with some businessmen. They express their willingness to do such a thing, and naturally, they will also get some benefits, which is an unavoidable situation, and we should take this into account. Jia Xu said.
"But if we want to negotiate all at once, we still need some bargaining chips, at least we have to beat the other party and let the other party ask for us, so that our situation will go smoothly, otherwise, many things will not go smoothly." Jia Xu continued.
"Well, in that case, I agree with that. This is one of the most important markets at present, in fact, the situation of the Huns is not very good, they did not get a little advantage from fighting with us, and they also got very limited benefits from fighting in the state, so in this case, most of the state is not very favorable. Shang Wu said.
"If they cooperate with us, they may be able to recover as soon as possible, but if they don't, they will not be in a good situation." Shang Wu said.
War also has its own costs, and only by meeting some of their own requirements will the cost become much more cost-effective, and if such a situation cannot be achieved, naturally many things will not become extremely advantageous. Therefore, in such a situation, in order to achieve such a situation, they still need to do a lot of favorable conditions to become much more favorable, otherwise, most of their states will not become much better.
The current situation of the Huns is like this, they did not get a little benefit from fighting with the Republican Army, on the contrary, they also suffered heavy losses, the winter days were not very good, the only cavalry of the Republican Army caused them a certain amount of damage, it may not be very large, but it also made them feel very distressed, obviously, they lost money.
The Huns were so scarce that if they could not be replenished in the war, they had to make up for it by another means. The way to do this was trade, and this was very much in line with the needs of the IRA, because the IRA had a lot of goods to sell to them, and in that case, they were in a very favorable situation. In this way, their situation will become much more favorable.
This is the case with the war. When war could not be satisfied, trade was the only need.
Wild Wolf Regiment, on the position of the Seventh Company.
"How? Kill a few Huns? "Zhao Laosan came to the position of the Seventh Company to inspect. After the Huns tried for a while, they never attacked again, and if they were in Hedong, they might attack wildly, but they soon understood that the republican army was not so easy to defeat, so they quickly retreated, out of the battle, and only watched from afar, because there was no need for them to continue to lose a large number of troops to do such a thing. They can't afford to lose something like that, and they have to admit it.
"Report, sir, I personally aimed at seven people, but I wasted twenty bullets." A private reported.
"Hit seven, that's it. It is already a very remarkable result for a recruit to have such a result. With such experience, it is a veteran. Zhao Laosan said.
"Yes, sir." Private said loudly.
"Brothers, although our regiment is full of recruits, but after such a battle, it is enough to show a situation, that is, our recruits can also defeat the enemy, don't look at the Huns who look powerful, but, as long as our weapons are still in our hands and our fighting spirit is not exhausted, we will always be able to defeat the Huns, and the Huns have nothing to fear." Zhao Laosan boosted morale.
There weren't many places where the fighting took place, most of it was concentrated in individual companies, and it was clear that the Huns were still tentative, they knew very well what their opponents were like, and if they were allowed to continue such an attack, they would lose more troops. So, stop the attack and look at the IRA instead, become the best option. Playing is not the best option. Moreover, the Huns were very demoralized, and the attack could not bring more benefits at all, and stopping the attack was the best choice, and perhaps it would bring them a lot of surprises. This is their own view, and this view can meet some of their needs to the greatest extent, and this is their own view.
