Half a year later, the remaining Donghu people were completely pacified. New counties and counties were established in the original territories of all Donghu people. Groups of people were brought to various places by Zhong Yu for resettlement.
Jizi North Korea in the southeast also completely settled down, and the slight resistance subsided in an instant. Cao Cao left 30,000 men behind to garrison in place. He took the remaining 10,000 people and the 50,000 servant troops prepared from Jizi North Korea. They attacked the barbarians who were still in the tribal era in the south.
He planned to abide by Zhong Yu's order, pacify the entire peninsula in one fell swoop, and bring it under the command of the imperial state.
…
In the Changchun City Palace, at this time, the entire palace was filled with joy, and the maids and eunuchs coming and going were full of motivation to work.
All this is because of the current Yuguo, with good news coming from both battlefields frequently, and the national power becoming stronger and stronger. As members of this country, they are naturally honored, not to mention that they can still be close to the emperor at any time and are servants of the emperor's servants!
Walking on the path in the palace garden, Zhong Yu walked slowly, glancing at the exquisite surrounding scenery from time to time.
"Jushou Xunyu, how have your Ministry of Revenue and Ministry of Personnel prepared for the immigration arrangements and the recruitment of officials? Have the various places stabilized and begun to restore people's livelihood and build production?" Regarding the war between Donghu and Jizi Korea, although It's over. But how to obtain greater benefits from the war is the key.
"Your Majesty, the two sides have generally sorted out the situation. This war plundered a total of more than 500,000 Donghu people. After the surrender of Jizi North Korea, more than 600,000 people were gained. If you add in the population your Majesty previously gained in Jizhou, we will come In the past year, the population has reached about 1.5 million." As the Minister of Household Affairs, Jushou described his duties in the census.
"Your Majesty, officials from various places have been selected and designated, and the production recovery work is also being resumed quickly under the command of these officials. I believe that in two or three years, the situation in the entire Northeastern barren land will be greatly improved." Shangshu Xunyu also replied quickly.
"Well, we have already started to resume production. According to the current momentum, in five years, the entire Northeast will be initially developed. Various places will also be on the right track. We do not need the central government to export, but can also provide taxes. Feedback is being carried out!”
Later, he followed many ministers around him to discuss how to divide the various levels of administration in the Northeast and how many states, counties and counties to establish.
Finally, after deliberation, it was decided that the entire Korean Peninsula was divided into one state, Pingzhou. Then, the northern part of the Donghu people's original area and most of the original HLJ province became one state, Hanzhou. In addition, based on the current Jizhou, some surrounding counties will be expanded to increase the area of Jizhou.
So in this world, Yuguo has three states. The population, including those conquered and those originally existing, is about 4.5 million.
The foundation can be said to be greatly enhanced, but these cannot be turned into strength immediately. If nothing else, let’s just say that the majority of the population in our country are women, old and weak, and there is a serious shortage of young people.
The total number of men who can be used to join the army is less than 400,000. As for other men, it cannot be said that there are none, but most of them are old people under the age of sixteen and over 45 years old. Letting all these people go to the battlefield, apart from serving as cannon fodder and delaying the enemy's strength and time, what is the use
So I need time to let the children in the country grow up. In just ten years, when a new generation of people grows up, there will be millions of people who can join the army. Even if the time is shorter, in only five years, he will have 600,000 people who can wear armor and go to war for him.
So all this will take time. If you use your current strength, you can go south to compete with the Seven Kingdoms. With his army of 400,000, even if 100,000 were left to guard the mainland and suppress the rebellion, there would still be 300,000.
Such a huge army is equivalent to the total army of Yan State in the south. It is not impossible to fight a war to destroy the country with Yan State.
But this is destined to cause heavy losses. The Yan State has been a country for eight hundred years since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. The underlying strength is unfathomable, and the number of masters is even more immeasurable.
Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about their Prince Dan, which is now closely associated with the Mohist school and has received strong support from the Mohist school, one of the three most prominent schools in the Warring States period.
With the assistance of this school of thought, apart from anything else, the military technology of Yan State alone is like black technology, directly rising to a level that is unreachable, not to mention the large number of masters of the Moh family.
Mohism, along with Confucianism and Legalism, are known as the three most prominent schools in the world, and their strength surpasses many other schools of thought. In addition to the big factor of machine skills, they also rely on their many disciples all over the world, as well as batches of masters at the top and middle levels. This strength is one of the fundamental reasons that support them and enjoy this reputation.
And their leader, the Six-fingered Black Man, is a fourth-level master. There are rumors in the world that the five elders of the Yin Yang family once attacked the six-fingered black man and were defeated. His strength is evident from this, and Zhong Yu suspects that the Six-Fingered Black Man is probably at the top of the fourth level.
In the Yan Kingdom, there is still a group of unpredictable masters lurking, who should be specially used to protect the Yan Kingdom's royal family.
Among his civilians and army, there are also some masters like Big Iron Hammer, Gao Jianli, and Xue Nu. Although their strength is not very strong, they have just broken through the fourth level, and are even in the process of breaking through the fourth level. But when there are more people, they add up to something terrifying.
So after such a comparison and analysis, I found that if I really want to take the Yan Kingdom by force and annex it completely, I can, but I will also suffer heavy losses by then. Can the 300,000-strong army survive the 100,000-year-old Yan Kingdom? , or is it still an unknown thing
After all, his Jade Kingdom is not the Qin Kingdom. It has the Qin Kingdom's great reputation among the six kingdoms of Guandong for hundreds of years. If Yan Guo heard the news that he was coming to attack, he would tremble with fear. He only knew how to cede territory and seek peace, but not resistance.
In their eyes, their country is probably nothing more than a tribal alliance composed of barbarians. It is not accepted or recognized by them at all, and they are extremely contemptuous in their hearts, and resistance is inevitable.
And when the time comes, I will go through all kinds of hardships and finally conquer the Yan Kingdom. But suddenly I found myself, what should I do if the states of Qi, Wei and Zhao further away wanted to take advantage
How can I, my 100,000 remnant army, whose numbers have been reduced sharply and exhausted after a great battle, resist their hundreds of thousands of troops
So now I can only wait, wait for my country's foundation to strengthen, and wait for my 50,000 extraordinary troops who have cultivated internal strength to achieve some results. It is best to reach the strength that a normal second-level master should have. By then, with these troops, he will be able to sweep the world.
Everything takes time.
