The information that the Han State was about to send troops to the north could not be concealed, after all, so many military horses were being mobilized, even a blind man could hear the sound, not to mention the countries that sent a large number of meticulous efforts to pay attention to the movements of the Han State.

The Han army wanted to go north, under the banner of seeking justice for its own citizens who had suffered misfortunes, and also talked about the obligation of the country to protect every citizen.

What do you call a citizen? I've only heard of Chinese people before, that is, citizens who live in the country's capital city, and citizen is a new word!

Citizens are a new class that distinguishes the Han State from the Qianshou, and it is something that Lu Zhe made through this incident.

The so-called citizens, all those who have military experience, and those who pay more than a certain amount of taxes for the country, are all citizens, and under the citizens there are chiefs, criminals, and slaves. The civic class was subordinate to the nobles, and they were protected by the state because of their due contribution to the state.

So does it mean that the state will no longer be responsible for ordinary Qiantou in the future? The answer given by Lu Zhe is very clear, people who have not made any contributions are not qualified to talk about returns, and they can only get what they have paid for.

Was there an uproar? Yes, but Lu Zhe obviously didn't pay attention to it at all, and didn't even hide his disgust at all.

What the hell is this! If you don't contribute to the country and just want to ask for it, and it's not the era when everyone is fucking in the four seas, what kind of process should the psychology be distorted to make it a matter of course to feel that everyone (country) should be selfless for whom, in addition to this, the earth should revolve around itself?

There is military experience, there is tax contribution, and they should be rewarded for their efforts. If you want to become a citizen, it is not a very demanding thing, farming needs to pay grain and business, you need to pay taxes, unless you are a guy who mixes up and becomes a black household, otherwise under the wings of the country, who does not have the opportunity to become a citizen?

Citizens have the right to free access to government health care that is gradually being rolled out, and the descendants of citizens have the right to enter the schools that are also being rolled out, and other laws are being deliberated. Lu Zhe is just forcing the people under his rule not to be bastards, and he is digging out some hidden populations.

Actually, what is the most important thing? With the spread of social welfare, the cost of demographic statistics will drop indefinitely, so that the government can get the most realistic figures, so that it can make practical plans for the development of the country, and at the same time, it is also preparing for the formation of a larger army.

At present, the total number of soldiers of the Han army, including the Northern Frontier Defense Army, the Southern Expeditionary Corps, the Central Garrison Guard, the Miyagi Garrison Guard, and the National Defense Army, is only 500,000. Please note that this is the number of soldiers under the population base of 10 million, and does not include the second- and third-line troops such as the Tuntian soldiers, garrisons in various places, and auxiliary troops.

The Central Garrison and the Miyagi Garrison combined had 100,000 soldiers. Unless the war is unfavorable to a certain process, it is very difficult for these two forces to have a chance to go to the battlefield.

The 100,000 soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Corps have been fighting on the southern front, and this army is already the most suitable corps for jungle warfare and mountain warfare among the Han army.

Then the only troops that could be used for the Northern Expedition were 50,000 of the Northern Defense Army, 250,000 of the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Army Corps of the Wehrmacht, and a total of 300,000 field troops.

In view of the fact that the Fifth and Sixth Army Corps of the Wehrmacht can be reorganized within two months, it is expected that the number of field armies capable of fighting north will increase to 400,000.

The field army of 400,000 soldiers wanted to attack, and the combined forces of Qi, Yan, and Zhao, which seemed to have nearly two million, seemed a little hanging, after all, that land was not an almost uninhabited south. It was a densely populated Central Plains, and all the nations had a habit of increasing their forces at all times when they held on, and before they attacked, it was a coalition of two million. When the fight passes, God knows how much it will increase.

In the Han state's plan to go north, the best plan was to induce the allied forces of Qi, Yan, and Zhao to gather heavy troops for a huge field battle that would not stop to the death, so that the Han cavalry could maximize the advantage. However, the troops of Qi, Yan, and Zhao are very mixed and mixed. There is no real distinction between soldiers and auxiliaries, and it is estimated that it will not be difficult for the 400,000 Han field troops to fight a field battle with such an army. But it is conceivable that there will not be too many opportunities for field battles, if the main force of the coalition army is not annihilated once or twice, then it should be Qi, Yan, and Zhao Gui who retreat back to the city for fortification, and that is the time when the headache comes.

In order to send troops to the north of the Han Kingdom for three years, not only in the weapons and armor constantly updated and equipped, but also set up a siege equipment corps for this purpose, but three years to be honest is still a little insufficient.

So far, the 300,000 field troops that have been reorganized have not completely completed the rearmament, only about 180,000 are equipped with iron weapons, and the 100,000 light and heavy cavalry of the 180,000 soldiers are given priority; There are only less than 70,000 people who can wear new iron plate armor, and nearly 20,000 of these 70,000 belong to the sequence of heavy infantry, and there are 10,000 heavy cavalry with armor even with men and horses, and the rest are basically bronze armor and leather armor.

If you give Lu Zhe five years, relying on the increasingly large and skilled weapons to make a workshop, it is enough to arm 500,000 people with iron, but it is basically possible to arm all 300,000 people with iron to the teeth, but it is a pity that there are no five years, only less than three years of preparation time.

Having said that, if it weren't for the pan-national consciousness, Lu Zhe wouldn't have done it in advance at all, and it was also because the Qin State was really about to be unable to hold on, once Qi, Yan, Zhao and the grassland Hu people joined forces, the development of the general trend of the world would become more confusing, so it was not the best time to launch.

The Han side had already decided to go to war after Lu Zhe had made up his mind, and even the envoys with the declaration of war had already set off.

It is unknown whether the princesses who married Lu Zhe's wives in the countries cried, made trouble and hanged themselves for the time being, and Qi, Yan, and Zhao were about to face the revenge of the Han State...... Perhaps there was also Qin, but they were skeptical that Lü Zhe would really go to war for a group of merchants, and at the same time they were trying to avoid a war with the Han state at some cost.

The first to react was the Qin State Undoubtedly.

Xu Yan's Central Plains Army had already abandoned the unfavorable construction of the Dangjun line and completely retreated to Sanchuan County, and he sent fast cavalry to report to Xianyang, reporting his many reasons for guessing that the Han State might go to war with the Qin State.

Fusu, who was guarding the First Emperor all the time, was feeding his father medicine when he got the report from Xu Yan, and when he read the report himself, he was stunned, trembling his lips and opening his mouth to say something, and in the end he could only look at the First Emperor who fell into a coma again.

Although he knew that there would be such a day, but this day came too early, Fusu thought that it would be at least five years, and if he was willing to pay some more price, maybe it would be longer......

I don't know why, Fusu only met Lu Zhe once, but he could see that Lu Zhe had a good impression of Qin, and Lu Zhe was also very disgusted with those countries. A person's words can be a lie, and some actions can be disguised, but a series of choices cannot hide a person's true thoughts.

Lu Zhe chose the country according to the law of Qin, compared to the interference of human rule that sometimes occurs in Qin, such as the first emperor who destroyed the legal sanctity of Qin and gave many people who did not have an inch of merit to make marquis. All the information obtained by Fusu shows that the Han State was governed by law under the rule of Lü Zhe, and there was no precedent for those who had no merit or insufficient merit to be feuded, no matter how close the relationship with Lü Zhe was. Of course, Fusu also knew that Lu Zhe would give more opportunities for meritorious service to those close to him, but after all, he did not destroy the framework, and whether those who were arranged had the life to make meritorious service or not, it was still possible to see if they had the ability.

After all, before he crossed over, he always felt that if Qin had not perished, China should have been able to maintain the rule of law and form an environment where the rule of law was governed rather than the rule of humanity. On the contrary, Lu Zhe has never liked the nations that the law tramples on and the system destroys.

"The house is cloudy and leaking rain...... "Fusu finally spoke, he glanced at the First Emperor, who showed no signs of waking up, and walked lightly away from the dim pavilion.

Once the Han State started a war against the Qin State, not to mention that the Qin State would fall into a food shortage after losing the Han State as a channel to buy grain, the country would become turbulent due to lack of food, and the Great Wall Army and the Central Plains Army would also face collapse due to lack of food. The Han State launched a war against the Qin State, and the Hanzhong County without a garrison would definitely be taken at the first time, and it was foreseeable that the Ba County and Shu Army, which had only a small number of garrisons, would soon be finished, so the southwest of the Qin State would be lost, and then the Neishi (County) should face the threat.

There is still some comfort to Fusu, even if it fails to turn around and destroy the plank road leading directly to Qindi, it is not so easy for the Han army to invade Qindi from Hanzhong or Bashu.

Fusu immediately summoned Feng Quji, Wang Xuan, Kui Lin, Meng Yi, Feng Zheng and other ministers in the center, and retold to them the report of Xu Yan of the Central Plains Army, asking if there were any countermeasures.

At that time, Wang Juan and Feng Zheng glanced at each other for the first time, they were all people who had personally accepted with Lu Zhe, the king of the Han Dynasty, and had the same opinion as Xu Yan, that is, Lu Zhe could really do something to start a war against a certain country for several Qiantou leaders.

"The king of Han calls himself a nationalist, so he ......" Wang Juan looked at the people present with difficulty: "Please prepare the prince." ”

There are more and more new words, and they sound obvious and easy to understand, but Fusu called them not to determine whether they want to go to war, but to let them find a way to avoid war, at least Qin is fighting with the Hu people in the grassland in the north, and Qi, Yan, and Zhao are also fighting in the east, so they can't also go to war with the Han State!

Actually, they had a way to get it, but no one wanted to bring it up.

"If you give up Hanzhong County, is it possible to avoid war?" That's good, Fusu said it himself. (To be continued......)
