Bingzhou is a bitter cold place with constant wars. Refugees generally do not choose Bingzhou when migrating, so they naturally do not choose Beisan County.
However, for ordinary people, the temptation of land is unlimited. As long as the Yanmen Army can ensure the safety of the territory, even in a bitter and cold place like Bingzhou, there will definitely be people coming.
Either die immediately or die after a period of time. Anyone will choose to die after a period of time. After all, it is better to die than to live!
Now the Yanmen Army has regained the three counties in the north and central areas, owns a large amount of idle land, and has severely damaged the Xiongnu. There will be no foreign aggression for a long time in the future, and it can be regarded as creating a relatively stable living environment.
Therefore, Qin Hao believes that once the refugees all over the world know that the Yanmen Army is willing to distribute land to the refugees who have settled in the three counties, some of the refugees will be moved and set their sights on the three counties of Central and North China, and this part will at least be hundreds of thousands of people.
Population: 10,000.
The most indispensable thing in today's world is refugees. Although the Yellow Turbans have the slogan of serving the people of the world, it is the people who suffer during the war. The land of Kanto can be said to be full of refugees.
As for these refugees, the Yellow Turbans wanted to take care of them, but they were powerless. They simply could not afford to support them all, and the Han Dynasty did not care about the life and death of these refugees at all. This was the case before and is still the case now.
The refugees are the easiest population for the Yanmen Army to absorb. After all, the resettlement of refugees does not have to be like prisoners of war. All supplies are provided by the Yanmen Army.
To resettle the refugees, they only need to provide food and shelter in the short term. Once the food they have planted grows, the Yanmen Army will make their money back.
Although the policy of offending the people and guarding the border was decided before, the premise was that after the Yellow Turbans were suppressed, and now that the Yellow Turbans are not destroyed, the Yanmen Army cannot but expand its population, right?
For the current Yanmen Army, the most effective way to rapidly expand the population in a short period of time is to recruit refugees and guard the border with criminals!
"I'm afraid this matter is not easy to handle!" When Zhang Rang heard this, he immediately frowned and said: "It's okay to issue an edict to persuade the refugees to come and merge with the state. Instead of letting those farmers starve to death, it is better to let them come to merge with the state. But Liu
What Hong hopes most urgently now is that his eldest brother can quickly lead the army south. The immigration move will inevitably be delayed for a while, and Liu Hong will definitely not be willing to do so!"
"That's right." Qin Hao raised his eyebrows, and after pondering for a while, a hint of brilliance flashed in his eyes.
"Uncle Wu, what you and Liu Hong said is that now that the cold winter is approaching, the Yellow Turbans will definitely not start the war at this time. The decisive battle will definitely take place after the spring of next March."
Qin Wen and Zhang Rang nodded in unison.
Weather is the biggest factor restricting war. No army can unexpectedly fight in the harsh winter season. It is already October and the temperature has dropped sharply, so the decisive battle between the Yellow Turbans and the Han Dynasty will definitely happen in the spring of next year!
"In this battle, our Yanmen Army suffered more than half casualties and is no longer able to fight." Qin Hao flashed a sneer at the corner of his mouth and said: "So it takes time to replenish our troops. In the next five months, our Yanmen Army will not be able to fight in addition to
In addition to rebuilding Yanmen Pass and resettling the refugees, we can also recuperate and recuperate in order to reorganize the army and prepare for war. In March of next year, my father and I will lead 30,000 cavalry to Hulao Pass to help in the battle!"
"In that case..." After Zhang Rang thought for a while, he nodded and said, "Uncle Wu, I am sure to convince Liu Hong!"
The Luoyang court did not know the specific casualties of the Yanmen Army, so Zhang Rang did not have the final say on the specific extent of the casualties.
It’s easy to panic. After all, in such a big battle, it’s normal for more than half of the damage to be done!
Therefore, instead of letting the heavily damaged Yanmen Army go south, it is better to let Qin Wen stay in Yanmen to reorganize the army and prepare for war. Anyway, the Yanmen Army, which suffered heavy casualties, cannot affect the final battle situation, but after regaining its strength, it has 30,000 elite cavalry, and its strength is even greater than before.
But the Yanmen Army can do it, and besides, the five-month decisive battle cannot be fought.
No one knows Liu Hong better than Zhang Rang. The emperor who was single-handedly pushed to the throne by himself, Liu Hong has ambitions, but lacks the ability and skills. He wants to make a career, but he is timid and hesitant. If he hadn't been waiting for ten years, he would
Chang Shi is standing in front, Liu Hong must be a puppet in the hands of the family.
Thirty thousand elite Yanmen Iron Cavalry, this is already a combat force that can affect the situation of the battle. Liu Hong will never be able to refuse such a temptation!
When Qin Wen heard Qin Hao say that he would bring 30,000 cavalry with him, he couldn't help but said, "Hao'er, where did we get the 30,000 cavalry?"
The Yanmen Army has only 40,000 soldiers in total. Where did the 30,000 cavalry come from? The Yanmen Army has no shortage of horses, but it is impossible for the cavalry to become an army without one or two years of training. Five months is too short!<
/p>
"There is none now, but there will be one soon!" Qin Hao said confidently: "In the battle of Donglongkou, Hai'er captured a large number of war horses, which is more than enough to expand to 30,000 cavalry."
Qin Wen nodded. In this battle, Qin Hao captured a total of 70,000 to 80,000 horses. The Qin family spent four years in vain to build more than a dozen horse farms in Yanmen, and Qin Hao's capture in the first battle was equivalent to more than half of the Qin family's four years of development.
.
"And after recovering the three counties this time, except for the Huns, all the Hu people in the three counties have surrendered. I am going to select 10,000 cavalry from the Hu people to expand our Yanmen cavalry team!"
When Qin Wen heard this, he immediately frowned and said: "Hao'er, is this move unconscionable? Will the barbarians be driven by us? It would be bad if we were criticized back."
Qin Hao smiled calmly and said confidently: "Father, don't worry, I am absolutely sure that I can conquer these barbarians and use them for our army."
Qin Wen stopped talking. He knew that his son would never tell lies. Since Qin Hao said he was sure, he was absolutely sure. The barbarians had superb riding skills. If they could really conquer them, it would be a great help.
"After retaking the three counties, the territory under our Yanmen Army has more than doubled. The current 40,000 troops are no longer enough to defend. After the refugee prisoners are in place, the population of the territory will increase sharply, and it is time to expand the army!" Qin Wen!
Asked Qin Hao: "Hao'er, how much do you think the army should be expanded?"
"One hundred thousand!"
Qin Hao's lips moved slightly, revealing a number that surprised Qin Wen.
In Qin Wen's opinion, after five months of immigration, the population under the Yanmen Army can definitely increase by one million, and it is easy to directly recruit 100,000 troops.
The situation in the north is different from that in the south. The ratio of soldiers and civilians in the south is one to ten, which is the limit. If the ratio is higher, the local economy and people's livelihood will collapse. But it is different in the north. The population in the north is small, and it is close to foreign races and wars continue. The maximum mobilization of soldiers and civilians is
The ratio of one to five, and the Yanmen Army's one to ten ratio is considered to be considerate of the people's strength.
According to normal calculations, the Yanmen Army, which has a population of 1.5 million in five months, can definitely expand to 150,000 or more, but Qin Hao only needs 100,000, which has to make Qin Wen confused. p>
