Yang Shi is still in Incheon. He has not arrived yet, but Li Gang has already arrived. ~~!---
Li Gang returned from Liaodong. During this period, he has been handling the civil affairs of Liaodong. He is now almost equivalent to the economic minister of later generations. The civil affairs of Goryeo and Liaodong, including agriculture, factories, etc., are under his control. Only maritime trade is now
Gongsun Sheng is in charge.
"Grand Governor, we have discovered several large coal mines in Liaodong!" Li Gang said excitedly as soon as he sat down.
In ancient times, the role of coal mines was not very great. It was not until the industrial age that coal mines showed their extraordinary charm. In today's Yangshan, since the invention of the iron-making blast furnace, the demand for coal mines has gradually increased. In northern Goryeo, there are
Coal mines exist, but generally
It is in the mountains, while many coal mines in Liaodong are on the plains. In modern times, Northeast China was a famous industrial base in China. One reason is that there are coal mines and other resources there. Now that Li Gang has sent people to find it, naturally it can
Find where the resources are.
"It's a good thing to have coal mines! Now we still need more steel, and the troops in the death-defying army, Hedong, Yanyun and other places have to change their uniforms!" Wu Dong nodded.
"Yes! Even if the army is re-equipped, farm tools in the countryside will require a lot of steel! Governor, in addition to coal mines, there are also iron ore mines in Liaodong. I think we can build a steel plant there! Otherwise, we will
It will take a lot of time to transport the coal and steel there to Goryeo," Li Gang said.
"Of course you can." Wu Dong said.
"It's just that we lack manpower. I'm going to transfer some young people from the Production and Construction Corps. This requires your military order." Li Gang said.
"It's easy! I'll give you 10,000 people! If that's not enough, you can recruit people from the local people in Liaodong. As long as the salary is high, they should go to the factory." Wu Dong said.
"Okay!" Li Gang nodded and agreed.
"Have you continued to go south to harass Liaodong during this period?" The two discussed for a while, and Wu Dong suddenly said.
"During this period, they occasionally sent small groups of troops south, but they did not pose a great threat to us," Li Gang said.
Wu Dong nodded slightly, and he remembered what happened in the past few months. When Yue Fei attacked Yanyun, everyone thought that Nv Zhenren would be dormant temporarily, but Wanyan Aguda suddenly attacked. He led 100,000 cavalry from
Coming from the west, they first captured Huining Prefecture. At that time, Huining Prefecture was already in ruins, with only a thousand people stationed there. But after they captured Huining Prefecture, they immediately went south, and even captured Longzhou as well.
Originally, Nv Zhenren was going south to continue attacking Xinzhou. At this time, Yang Xiong of the Third Army of the Northern Army and Han Shizhong of the Fifth Army had already dispatched, with a total force of 80,000 people, half of which were infantry and half of cavalry. The infantry was in the center and the cavalry was on the two wings.
All soldiers are equipped with the latest weapons and armor, including new swords, plate armor, 40,000 divine arm crossbows, and even small artillery in the army.
They encountered the real woman at the border between Longzhou and Xinzhou. Wanyan Aguda was indeed a super military genius in ancient history. He faced Yang Xiong and Han Shizhong with a hundred thousand troops. Even though Yang Xiong and Han Shizhong's troops had sharp weapons and strong armor
, still no match for Wanyan Aguda! The war lasted for a day, Yang Xiong and Han Shizhong suffered about 20,000 casualties, and the nv master suffered more than 5,000 casualties.
Wanyan Aguda was also shocked. He originally thought that he could wipe out Yang Xiong and Han Shizhong's troops, but Yang Xiong and Han Shizhong's troops turned out to be extremely tenacious. In addition, their weapons were far sharper than the nv real person, and Han Shizhong was also of the same generation.
Although the famous general was not as good as him, his defense became quite satisfactory after the initial panic. For a whole day, he failed to swallow up all the Liangshan troops.
After this battle, Wanyan Aguda seized a lot of armor and weapons. He held the armor and weapons and frowned. Such armor and weapons exceeded his imagination. As for the artillery used by Liangshan, although he had seen it before
Despite the power of the artillery, it was still impossible to capture such a weapon.
A few days after this encounter, Luan Tingyu arrived with 40,000 cavalry, and Yang Zhi's army was also coming here. Wanyan Aguda did not continue the war. Now the nv real person occupied
In the Huining Prefecture and Longzhou area in the north, their cavalry often went south to harass.
The Liangshan Army in Liaodong was also on the defensive during this period, and their originally planned northern war was temporarily suspended. According to Wu Dong, the naval forces of Liaodong, Yanyun, and Yunnan will be combined to defeat the war between Liaodong and Yanyun.
The passage will be opened, and then we will find a way to fight the nv real person, so now Liaodong is preparing for the battle next year.
However, after this battle, Wu Dong and Hua Rong had a new estimate of the combat effectiveness of Nv Zhenren. In terms of the quality of the army, the Liangshan army was no longer inferior to Nv Zhenren, and in terms of equipment, they had surpassed Nv Zhenren.
Wanyan Aguda is an expert in using troops, so Yang Xiong and Han Shizhong are not his opponents. Of course, the shortcomings of nv real people are also obvious. Their total military strength is limited and their development is slow. However, Liangshan has more and more troops and is developing faster and faster. In the future, it will rely on
The general trend can overwhelm them.
"If it's just a small-scale harassment, it doesn't matter. Han Shizhong's army is stationed there, and these small harassments can definitely be blocked. During this period, almost half of the equipment of the death-defying army has been replaced.
The number of cavalry has also reached 20,000. The death army has been stationed in the Longquan Mansion area. Longquan is far away from other cities in Liaodong. We
I guess nv still doesn’t know the specific situation of the death-defying army! When all the more than 100,000 people in the death-defying army have been redressed, we will send them to the front line. And now that Yanyun has been captured, we can recruit troops from Yanyun.
! Our strength is getting stronger and stronger, and it is only a matter of time before we can defeat Real Person NV. After all, war relies on comprehensive strength." Wu Dong said with a smile.
"What the Governor said is that this 'comprehensive strength' is used wonderfully!" Li Gang said with a smile.
After the two sat down and discussed the situation in Liaodong, Li Gang asked again: "Grand Governor, what is the population of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun?"
Wu Dong said: "This is not clear yet. We are still counting, but it is estimated to be around 8 million! You know, when Nv Zhenren invaded the Liao Kingdom, countless people from Shangjing, Zhongjing, and Tokyo went to Yanyun Ten
Go to the Six Prefectures! However, the number of men in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun is very small, and the number of women is almost twice the number of men! The total population of Yanyun, Hedong, Liaodong, and Korea should be more than 20 million."
The cruelty of ancient wars was far greater than that of modern times, and a large number of men died in the war. The Khitan and Nv Zhen were at war for several years. The Khitan alone dispatched more than 100,000 troops to conquer Nv Zhen about five times, the most
At that time, there were 700,000 troops
He went north to conquer the real nv, but was defeated by the real nv. Later, he became the real nv and suppressed the Khitan people. Therefore, the ratio of male nv in Yanyun area is very unbalanced. The number of nv is far more than that of men. This is different from modern society.
The situation is completely different.
When Li Gang heard the figure of 20 million, his face was full of smiles and he said: "We have such a large population, it seems that there is no problem in defeating the nv real person."
Wu Dong said: "This is natural! By the way, I have something to ask you to do."
Li Gang said: "I wonder what it is?"
Wu Dong said: "I want to entrust Gaoli to you temporarily, and I want to go to Yanjing in person."
Li Gang was taken aback and said: "Grand Governor, Yanjing has just been conquered, and the order there is still a bit chaotic. It may not be a good thing for you to go there now."
Wu Dong said: "It's because the order there is poor, so I have to go there myself to rectify it! Zhu Wu, I'm not too confident about his ability." Watch the first release without ads -
