Chapter 573: Planned Expansion of the Army
In this way, the future of the dominant tobacco empire was born under the decision of almost patting the head. Wu Yong was finally persuaded that the team members also gave up the exchange of elixirs, equipment, mounts and other items, and instead focused their exploits on the materials for village construction.
Although you can get official funding by applying for Pingzhou subsidies, the more you invest in the initial stage, the more original shares you can occupy, and in order to have greater control over your efforts, everyone has to smash all their merits in it.
Of course, there is still a long way to go, and it is only a simple idea at the moment, and there are still 108,000 miles away from success.
Fortunately, these people are amazingly mobile, and once they make up their minds, they immediately start to move.
Let's not care about these young people with dreams, Shang Ji is also busy now.
For a power leader, there are many times more trivial matters to deal with after a war than during a war. Although there is a group of high-level civil and military subordinates to help deal with it, many things still need to be decided by Shang Ji himself.
For example, the reconstruction and expansion of the Pingzhou Army!
After a big war, the Pingzhou Army sacrificed 400,000 soldiers before and after, accounting for one-eleventh of the active number of the Pingzhou Army. This group of people certainly needs to be replenished as soon as possible.
Fortunately, there was no shortage of reserve troops in the Pingzhou army.
More than a dozen huge barracks, under full operation, can replenish the lost troops in less than a week.
In addition, seeing that Goguryeo was about to be included in the jurisdiction of Pingzhou, the more than 4 million Pingzhou army was somewhat overstretched, and it was not enough to defend Pingzhou from infringement.
The newly annexed land of Goguryeo, covering an area similar to that of the original Pyeongju, and constantly facing the threat of Lee's Korea, even if the rebel tribes inside Goguryeo were cleared, it would need at least two million troops (including part of the Dragon's Throat Gorge) to defend it.
In other words, after Gejin cleared Goguryeo, not only could not evacuate the army, but had to expand the army!
Goguryeo directly occupied a small part of the existing army in Pingzhou.
The rest have to guard against Gongsun Zhan, Ding Yuan and others to the east, and wary of the Xianbei people to the north. Even in the south, you have to guard against whether Yuan Shao and Han Fu will suddenly call, and the troops are quite nervous!
Therefore, a large-scale expansion of the army has reached the point of imminence!
"Brother, what do you think of this large-scale military expansion?"
There were only Liu Yi and Shang Ji in the study, and the two talked more casually, so they had a meeting with the expansion of the army first.
"Our troops are indeed a little nervous, that Han Wenjie has the same identity as the virtuous brother, they are both state pastors, but as far as I know, the total number of troops in Jizhou has approached 20 million. There were 200,000 soldiers under the command of Na Lu Yi. Compared with it, the virtuous brother is far worse than this Pingzhou Muke! ”
Liu Yi looked at Shang Ji and quipped.
Simply calculating the strength of troops, in addition to Dong Zhuo, it is not Lu Zhi who has the most troops, nor the future overlords such as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, but Jizhou Mu Hanfu!
Han Fu occupied Jizhou, which had a large population and abundant finances. After having money and food, there will be a large-scale expansion of the army. In just a few months, Han Fu has already created an army of nearly 20 million, and he faintly has the posture of the first prince in the world!
At the beginning, although Lu Yi stopped in the top 16 at the world's first martial arts conference, he was also a famous top military general in the world. Han Fu's subordinates are this top general, and they naturally take care of them in every way. With the strong support of Han Fu, the special troops of Lu Yi (note, non-exclusive special troops) have expanded the army of 200,000 before the dead, and they were in the limelight for a while.
"Hehe, the lord is weak and the minister is strong, and the way to death, haven't you heard of how you died in history during this Hanwen Festival?"
Listening to what Liu Yi said, Shang Ji was not afraid of Han Fu, but sneered disdainfully.
In history, Jizhou was occupied by Yuan Shao, and in the end, Han Fu was shocked and cut himself with a pen knife in the toilet, and the way of death can be described as a wretch!
There were two inducements for Yuan Shao's usurpation of Jizhou, one of which was that Gongsun Zhan went south in a big way in an attempt to capture Jizhou; The second is that Han Fu's general Lu Yi rebelled, and Han Fu sent troops to crusade, but was defeated and returned!
Seeing this, Yuan Shao, who was in Bohai, immediately took Feng Ji's suggestion and befriended Lu Yi. Then the northern alliance with Gongsun Zan agreed to carve up Jizhou.
At the same time, Gao Gan and Xun Chen were sent to persuade Han Fu to "let Xian", Han Fu listened to Xun Chen's flickering, and simply gave the richest state in the world to Yuan Shao!
Today's Han Fu is very dead to Yuan Shaofang, and a large number of troops are arranged around the Bohai Sea, but he has great trust in Lu Yi. Lu Yi trained the dead first, and Han Fu asked for money to give money to people, and he cared for everyone.
"Hahaha, there is no way to do the Korean Festival, there are Gongsun and Ding Yuan in the north, Yuan Shao in the east, and Dong Zhuo and Lu Gong in the west. It is that there are two heroes in the north, Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Although Jizhou is rich, it is also a land of four wars. In the future, the situation will change, and the first unlucky one is the Hangeul Festival! The lesser of the two powers, he can only choose to believe in the righteousness! ”
Liu Yi laughed and made a clear understanding of the difficulties faced by Han Fu!
The wealth of Jizhou is the best in the world, however, if you don't have enough ability, it will become the most delicious piece of fat! Especially when there is a circle of hungry wolves around and eager to try, Han Fu can't help it!
Shang Ji smiled and said, "Okay, the matter in Jizhou has nothing to do with us for the time being, as long as we keep an eye on it." Let's talk about the expansion plan of the Pingzhou Army! ”
Shang Ji knows more about the inside story of Jizhou than Liu Yi, and Han Fu is one of the key monitoring targets of Qianhuan. Shang Ji knew some secret information that outsiders didn't know, such as the relationship between Han Fu and Lu Yi was not as close as it seemed.
Han Fu is humble and generous on the surface, but in fact he is jealous and jealous. Judge, Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, including Zhang He, etc., all served under Han Fu, but Han Fu did not reuse any of them.
Lu Yi is even more arrogant, whether it is under Han Fu or Yuan Shao, he is proud of his merits and annoying. Although forced by the situation, these two people can endure each other for the time being, but according to this trend, it is only a matter of time before they break up!
"Okay, let's continue to discuss the Pingzhou issue. Viet Vau, how many more troops do you think we need to expand? Hearing what Shang Ji said, Liu Yi also decisively shifted his attention back to Pingzhou and asked Shang Ji's opinion.
"Goguryeo needs at least two million to ensure that the situation is not lost, and although Liaodong, Changli, Xuansu, and Lelang are in the interior, it is unlikely that they will be attacked by enemy forces. But with such a large territory and nearly 100 million people, the four counties together need to deploy at least two million to maintain stability.
The terrain of western Liaoning is long and narrow, facing the threat of Xianbei in the north, and facing the princes of the interior in the west, and I can't sleep well without a million troops. ”
"Two million in Goguryeo, two million in the four counties in the interior, plus one million in Liaoxi, this requires at least five million troops. This is just a local army, and we must also have a strategic mobile force that can be mobilized at any time! ”
Liu Yi frowned and said intently.
"That's right, I mean, it's only a matter of time before the army expands. Even if you don't expand now, you will need to expand if you participate in the national war in more than a year. It is better to take advantage of the current good financial situation, Hongzhu there is less opposition, and directly expand the army to 7 million in one step! ”
