Chapter 2723 The fleeing faction split and returned, Kublai Khan secretly intervened
Chapter 2719: The fleeing faction split and returned, Kublai Khan secretly intervened
Under Yelvsu's persuasion, Yelv Deguang gave up directly resisting the Sui Dynasty, and then directly ordered the expansion of troops, recruiting Qiang veterans and young men to join the army. In a short period of time, an army of 20,000 to 30,000 people was formed, and the number was still growing.
.
At the same time, the Sinicization faction headed by He Lou Ziqian and Han Yanhui, and the Qiang traitor faction headed by Yelu Lage and Yelu Diela were also aggressively expanding their power.
In response to this, the Sui government not only did not respond at all, but gave it the green light to encourage the Qiang people under their rule to join their army and serve the country.
For a time, the entire Haizhou was occupied by Qiang forces, and they were all expanding their troops in a brazen manner.
Among the four major Qiang factions, apart from the fleeing faction, among the other three factions, the dormant faction is the strongest.
Yelu Deguang was able to quickly unite the Hibernating Sect, and in just a few days, he formed an army of two or three people, and the number continued to grow. This was something that neither the Qiang traitor sect nor the Sinicization sect could compare with.
.
But when the army was formed, more and more troubles followed.
While Yelu Deguang was working hard, he secretly built and purchased a lot of weapons and equipment in preparation for his future return to the country, but it was only enough to equip 30,000 people, and he could not afford any more.
However, due to the great pressure brought by the Qin Dynasty, Yelu Deguang prepared to recruit 40,000 troops. According to this momentum, it will be full soon, but the weapons and equipment of the extra 10,000 troops are still available.
The army after the Qiang people was paid, and only the soldiers were in charge of food, and whatever they could get was their own.
It seems that the inheritance left by Abaoji after his death is quite generous. In addition, Yelu Deguang made various money during those years and enriched his own pockets. He has accumulated a lot of wealth, otherwise he would really have been raising a lot of money.
Raise such a small army.
Therefore, before receiving the summons from Yelu Deguang, the fleeing faction headed by Yelu Shilu, Yelu Xiuge, Yelu Huelu, and Yelu Xiezhen, who had been accepted by the Qin army and became full, decided to return to their hometowns to support
Yelu De regained his kingdom.
Before Yelu Deguang, Yang Guang also granted some titles to the Qiang forces, but their status was not as low as Yelu Deguang's. He also took the initiative to increase their weapons and food to support our retreat and army expansion.
Those who had not yet been accepted, led by Yelu Chucai, decided to stay in the Qin army, and the reasons given were also very fatal.
Yuan Meng was located in the barren land of Guanxi, and his military salary was so low that he only had one tael of silver per month.
Xiao Qin obviously only occupies half of the country, but its fiscal revenue is several times that of Xiao Han, who has eighteen states. The reason is that the level of development of civilization is completely the same.
When he learned that Yelv Shilu would return with a small army of 80,000, Yelu Deguang was naturally overjoyed. He quickly summoned Yelv Shilu and asked him to return as soon as possible to avoid long nights and short dreams. After all, if the Qin army knew about it, it would have
Kublai Khan had a stingy personality. If so, he might have let Yelu Shilu come back.
That's too outrageous, the gap is really not too small.
It is precisely because the fleeing faction is not strong that they can get involved in the civil war to retreat from Jiang Ya, and support Yelu Chucai all the way to the center of the Qin army.
After so many years of recuperation, the Qiang escape sect also took root in the Moxi grassland. It grew stronger by annexing some large tribes and became the leader of the eight small tribes in Moxi. It now has a population of 170,000 and an army of 70,000.
Just when Jiang Yashuguang was actively expanding his army, training, and preparing to unite with the Sui Dynasty to fight against the Qin Dynasty, he received a little bad news.
Is the restoration of the Qiang people achievable or certain? Without us in the Qin army, if Yelv Deguang were victorious, these fleeing Qiang people would at least not have a place of refuge.
But when I think about the fact that the Sui Dynasty raised an army of less than 1,700,000 people for only one tael and seven coins.
The development of civilization is the same, and the social productivity is completely the same.
When Yelu Chucai heard those words, he was so moved that he almost shed tears. He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty has a heart that has never been seen before. I surrender."
Just when the Qin army's tolerance for the fleeing faction reached its peak, Yelu Chucai stepped forward and took advantage of Tuo Lei's death and the Qin army's internal strife to lead the Qiang people to support and help Kublai Khan secure his throne and become the
Kublai Khan's confidant and advisor helped the escape group avoid the fate of being completely swallowed up by the Qin army.
"That's all, our hearts are not yet in Xiaoyuan. If we can keep our people, we must keep our hearts."
The days before the Fugitives defected to the Qin Army were actually not bad. Just look at what happened before the Murong family surrendered. Murong Ke was the only one who almost died before he was truly accepted. How could it be so difficult for him to be accepted?
What about the Shaoqiang people?
——————————
Before the rebellion broke out in the Xiao Han Dynasty, the total annual tax revenue of the eighteen states was probably less than 20 million taels. And Xiao Qin still occupied the Central Plains. With only half of the territory, they could surpass the Xiao Han Dynasty.
The returnists headed by Yelu Shilu decided to return to the Qiang people, but there is Liangzhou between Moxi and Haizhou, so it is possible for us to bring special people back.
When I let Yelu Shilu and others leave, it was natural that I really cared about betrayal, but wanted to use those people to support Yuan Meng and create trouble for Xiao Qin to destroy the Sui Dynasty.
Looking at Kublai Khan who had his back turned to him, but with a calm and calm expression on his face, not at all angry about betrayal, Yelu Chucai felt that beating Yelu Shilu and others was a sign of admiration.
Yelv Shilu and other older Qiang people had no way of refuting that reason, so they could only refuse Yelu Chucai to stay in Jiangya.
If Yelu Deguang could give his soldiers the highest monthly salary of one tael of silver per month, he would probably have the support of the Qiang people, let alone the small business of restoring the country.
Dragon City.
Yang Guang granted Yelv Deguang the title of Marquis of Liao, and the feudal lords were not yet completely under his control in Yushu County. He directly denied Yelu Deguang's independence from the law, not caring about exposing his own lust and internal weakness and health.
Yelu Deguang tried his best to let himself think about Xiao Qin, because the gap was too small. If I didn't think about it less, it would be difficult and make me lose my fighting spirit.
The dormant sect headed by Yelu Deguang formed a small army of 70,000 people, the Sinicization sect had 82,000, and the Qiang traitor sect had only 24,000.
The Yuanhua faction, headed by Yelu Chucai, led 100,000 tribesmen and 10,000 small troops to stay under the grassland and continue to serve the Qin army.
Regarding the issue of adequate military weapons and equipment, Yelv Deguang solved it within a few days. I directly sent troops to take over Yushu County, opened Yuanmeng's treasury, and used Yuanmeng's resources to expand my own army.
Thanks to Yuan Meng's deliberate connivance and support, the Qiang forces, which took hundreds of years to be exterminated by the Han people, grew rapidly in a short period of time.
Among the countries, Xiao Qin's military pay was the lowest. The Sui State's military pay was one or two and seven qian of silver per month, while the rates for the Central Plains countries were between one and two and seven qian.
His Majesty, Emperor Yuan, was not strict enough with the Qiang people, but we kept saying we were grateful and grateful, but just one letter from Yelu De took away our hearts. It was like we knew bad things.
Although Yelu Chucai's prestige among the Escape Faction is low and he can mobilize the Qiang army at critical moments, I am still too young after all and belong to the senior generation. The real core leadership of the Escape Faction is actually Yelv Shilu and Yelv Horuna.
Two seniors.
When Kublai Khan heard this, he shook his head and laughed, but said no more.
The same male worker can spend less cloth in the same time.
Before the Qiang people were annihilated, the Qiang people who escaped from the Qiang land fled into the small desert through Han Sui's territory. They were resettled in the West Desert grassland before joining the Qin army. It was close to Hezhou and Liangzhou, but far away from the Qin army.
Capital Dragon City.
In addition, the 810,000 Qiang soldiers who joined the Sui army received the same treatment as the Han soldiers. If Yelu Deguang had to give the same treatment.
Jiang Ya Shuguang watched helplessly as the materials, money and food outside the warehouse were increasing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye every day. This felt distressed in her heart, and she finally understood why the Sui State was so capable of fighting.
But now the same acre of land cannot grow less food.
Although Yelu Chucai also hopes that Yelu Deguang can restore the country, the person who enabled me and allowed me to display my talents was Kublai Khan. A soldier dies for a confidant, so in my heart Kublai Khan is the one worth my life.
Loyal to the wise king.
Jiang Ya Shuguang did not know the specific information about Xiao Qin, so the data I calculated was basically accurate. I thought Xiao Qin only had 1.7 million troops, but the actual calculation was 870,000 more.
Among other various expenditures, Xiao Qin's annual military expenditure alone reached 80 million taels.
Before receiving the summons from Yelu Deguang, the fleeing faction who had taken refuge with Jiang Ya immediately recalled a meeting to discuss whether to return.
This is all spent with free money. If the army's combat effectiveness is still weak, it is a waste of resources.
Yelv Deguang has not thought about continuing to expand the army, but the Qiang people's background is too weak. My small army of 70,000 was established with the help of Yuan Meng. If it is less, it will not be able to support it.
In response to this, Jiang Ya did not respond at all. Instead, she sent a canonization edict.
The number of the fugitive faction when they escaped from the Qiang land was not small, only less than 20,000 in total, but they were all elites, and they also included two small elites of the Qiang people, the Pishi Army and the Tielin Army.
Therefore, before some discussion, Yelvshulu decided to return with only 80,000 small troops to support Jiang Yashu's restoration of the country.
Before the chaos broke out in the Han Dynasty, new technologies such as low-yield grains, looms, papermaking, steelmaking, etc. that could promote social productivity in a small way appeared.
But now that the Qiang adults have introduced the Han system, it has not yet become a matter of course for them to be soldiers and receive military pay, so naturally they can continue to use the old system.
Of course, the reason why Xiao Qin's taxes are so low is not only due to internal factors such as the improvement of total social productivity through technology and the exploration of internal governance, but also the opening up of sea trade, finding customers to sell various commodities such as ordnance, and the colonization of Yingzhou.
Among other internal factors, the proportion of Xiaoqin’s fiscal revenue is also very small.
Yelu Chucai felt at all that his informing behavior was a betrayal of his fellow tribesmen and tribesmen, because without Kublai Khan's nod, it would have been impossible for Yelv Shilu and others to go back, and even affect hundreds of thousands of families in the tribe.
Big, so I have to be the whistleblower.
The total strength of the eight small Qiang factions has reached 100,000, and nearly half of them are veterans. Therefore, the overall quality of the Qiang army is very low. With a little training, it will be strong.
The combat effectiveness is certainly not comparable to Jiang Ya, but it is also much weaker than the Western Region Allied Forces.
Now the Qiang fleeing faction has united into two factions: the return faction and the Yuanhua faction.
If we add in the internal expenditure and the expenditure on various projects, the total annual financial expenditure of Xiao Qin reached 70 million taels, which was less than twice the total annual revenue of the Xiao Han period, and the total annual financial expenditure of the other four countries.
Double of.
It is precisely because of the two small incomes that can support Xiao Qin's huge financial expenditure of 70 million taels per year, and allow Xiao Qin to maintain a downward trend even during the war, which is unparalleled in other countries.
They are far better than yes.
Kublai Khan waved his hand and said calmly: "If you want to leave, let us go."
As soon as he thought of this, Yelu Deguang couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and even goosebumps appeared all over his body.
This does not mean that Xiao Qin's annual military expenditure alone requires at most 22 million taels of silver, while Yuan Meng's annual military expenditure is only 2.77 million taels.
In fact, Yelu Deguang thought less. Kublai Khan would not let him go, but he wanted Yelu Shilu to return.
In addition to weapons and equipment, military pay is also an issue.
Now all the countries adopt the currency system of Xiao Qin, where one gold coin is exchanged for seven silver coins, and one silver coin is exchanged for eight hundred copper coins.
Of course, although the fleeing faction headed by Yelv Shilu defected to the Qin army, they did not give up their military power. At the same time, they agreed to actively integrate into the Qin army. This was just a gesture of seeking protection, so naturally they were accepted by the Qin army.
