Dahan first prince

Chapter 380 When the cannon rings, the gold is ten thousand taels
After clearly expressing the attitude of 'I can't help with this, the Taiwei can figure it out', only a few hours later, the chariot general Li sent, and received the commander-in-chief from the Taiwei Zhou Bo.

——According to His Majesty's decree, General Li sent the chariot and cavalry, and also served as the captain of Pyongyang!

Almost at the same time when Li Ji received the news, Zhou Bo's Anmin Announcement issued in the name of the Central Committee of the Han Dynasty was also posted in the city of Pyongyang.

The content of Anmin's Announcement was drawn up jointly by Prime Minister Chen Ping and Neishi Wangling before the army set off, and emperor Liu Ying nodded and stamped.

But if it is summed up, it is the following points.

One: From now on, the entire Korean peninsula, starting from Weishui in the west and north, and reaching the East China Sea in the east and south, is officially included in the territory of the Han Dynasty!
The Korean tribes such as Mahan, Chenhan, and Zhenfan sent envoys to Chang'an in the spring and March at the latest to invite ministers and be canonized by the Han; if they fail to agree, they will be regarded as disobedience!
Second: All Korean citizens, regardless of their official position or rank, will be pardoned for their previous crimes;

If you encounter Hanjia and Han flags on the way, you should avoid the road; when you see Han officials and generals, you should kneel down and worship.

Anyone who holds a weapon and faces Han soldiers, Han generals, and Han officials will be regarded as a traitor and beheaded immediately!

The third: Set up the "Pyongyang Duwei" ten miles north of Pyongyang City, with [-] troops stationed; set up the "Eastern Duwei" with [-] troops [-] miles east of Pyongyang; Captain', [-] troops.

The captains of Pyongyang, Dongfang, and Huye are not allowed to approach with weapons or armor within ten miles, and those who violate it will be cut immediately!
Fourth: order the people of North Korea to go to the Pyongyang Duwei, Dongfang Duwei, and Huye Duwei's administrations as soon as possible, and register their household registrations with the same names;

At the latest until autumn and September, all North Korean people should work and work according to their household registration; those without household registration will be regarded as "barbarians", and they will be innocent of arrest and killing...

After the news came out, after a short period of panic in Pyongyang, it took the lead in entering the methodical link of "making up households with equal names".

In the beginning, uneasy emotions were written on the faces of every North Korean who walked out of the house and came to the registration office.

But soon people found out that this "registered household with the same name" does not seem to cause any harm to themselves.

All the 'registration offices' outside the palace of the Joseon Dynasty were equipped with former local officials to provide translation work for the local people;
And beside the groveling translators, there was a tall, burly, but not vicious Han general sitting.

These people have serious faces, cold tones, and even cover their mouths and noses from time to time, feeling contempt for the locals who emit a bad smell;
But in any case, not even a general of the Han army fought against any civilian in Pyongyang for any reason.

On the contrary, it was the generals of the Han army who were selfless, cruel and arrogant, and even faintly contemptuous, which made the people in Pyongyang feel inexplicably at ease.

After all, the Pyongyang people who came to register their household registration did not suffer any losses, but instead received pieces of wood that were not exquisite but extremely precious.

The names, places of origin, physical features, and family structure of the people in Pyongyang are written on the pieces of wooden dungeons.

Seeing the North Korean men holding Mudu in their arms contentedly, trotting to their respective huts, Li Ji, who was standing on the top of the city, felt relieved for a while.

However, according to the original plan, Taiwei Zhou Bo, who was in charge of the "safety of the people", led most of the soldiers of the Han army who participated in the battle on the second day after the Pyongyang city was broken.·· ····

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Great victory in Liaodong, the Weiman traitors fled without a fight, and their capital, Pyongyang, was destroyed without attack. Since your majesty has seen thousands of miles, God bless me!"

In mid-October in winter, the battle report of the great victory of the Eastern Expedition finally arrived in Chang'an, the capital of Han.

But for such a seemingly mediocre victory, the public officials and officials showed abnormal excitement.

——Victory without fighting!

No matter how weak the place is, no matter how disparate the strength of the two sides is, before a "war of destroying the country", it will always make people feel extremely excited to overthrow the country without bloodshed!

Of course, if only North Korea was destroyed, then all the courtiers and officials of the Han family would not be so happy.

The truth of the matter is: from this war to overthrow the Wei family's Korean society, almost every courtier of the Han family has seen a possibility that makes people unable to suppress their joy...

"It's all about the officers and men's lives, and all the princes and ministers worked together to achieve this great victory."

"I dare not add this skill to myself."

Seeing the courtiers and officials gathered in the Greenhouse Hall congratulating in unison in front of her, Liu Ying smiled politely, then lowered her head with gloomy eyes.

For this war, Liu Ying didn't feel very happy, or it was unexpected.

From the perspective of outsiders, or even the court officials, this battle may be a clear proof of "God bless Liu Han" and a great victory worthy of the joy of the whole country;
But as the behind-the-scenes driver of this battle, Liu Ying was already fully sure of the final result long before the war started.

The reason is simple: In this battle, under the huge gap in strength between the enemy and us, Liu Ying, as the emperor, did not show even the slightest bit of stinginess.

Before the war, Chang'an Chaotang Temple calculated that Weiman, who occupied the northern half of the Korean Peninsula, would have no more than [-] troops at most; At most no more than [-].

And in this "war of destroying the country" where there was no head-on collision from the beginning to the end, in order to deal with Weiman's 2 to [-] troops, the Han Dynasty invested more than ten times their troops!
——As for Guanzhong, the court recruited the sons of Guanzhong's Liang family, formed an elite team of tens of thousands of people, and dispatched all of them to Hangu Pass!

In addition, Liu Ying specially issued an edict to encourage the folk forces in the Kanto region to join the army enthusiastically, and the court will bear all the expenses.

In addition, coach Zhou Bo, deputy commander Li Ji, and Yanxiang Luanbu each recruited "heroes" in Guanzhong by virtue of their personal charms, and the second generations of meritorious lords who accompanied the army, took away from their homes... ··

It is no exaggeration to say: In order to destroy Wiman Korea, the Han Dynasty mobilized no less than 20 army troops alone in this battle!
In addition to the 20 people, in order to ensure that the war ended as quickly as possible, Liu Ying even mobilized the county soldiers of Qi and Chu to conduct amphibious landing operations, which completely shattered Wei's determination to resist Korea.

For those who don't know the internal reasons and only pay attention to the battle itself, such a battle process is naturally extremely exciting.

——Hundreds of thousands of troops drove out of Yanji, crossed the river in the east, moved wantonly outside the national border, and went straight to the capital of the enemy country; the sleeping troops walked slowly along the coast, leaving the coastline when they were hundreds of miles away from the strategic goal, and took a short detour circle, and then suddenly appeared on the coast seventy miles away from Pyongyang City...
It is no exaggeration to say: Even the war simulation games of later generations rarely have such relaxed and freehand content.

But no one knows that the perfect result of "soldiers without blood" and "victory without a fight", the perfect result of "self-destruction" in Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, is all the Shaofu under Liu Ying's control, with a copper coin, and a car. Ships of grain piled up one after another.

Needless to say anything else: since the army set off from Chang'an, in just over two months, more than 20 combat units alone have consumed nearly a million shi of Shaofu's military rations!

If this is the only item, it’s okay to say that the annual benefit of the Shaofu officials’ grain and rice is far less than 100 million shi; if Weiman North Korea can be destroyed with only 100 million shi, it will be a big problem for the Han Dynasty. As far as this deal is concerned, it is obviously very cost-effective.

But the fact is: If you are not in charge of the family, you will not know that daily necessities are expensive...
——In order to send the grain of more than one million shi to the front line and hand it over to the combat troops, the Chang'an Central Committee also spent nearly a million shi of the cost!
Among them, it includes rations and subsidies for the people transporting grain, and some unexpected consumption of grain transported by water.

So in fact, in just two months, the actual battle may not even last for only 20 days. The Chang'an Central Committee has already spent 200 million shi on military rations alone!
Coupled with the cost of returning the army's divisions and the demobilization of the local forces in the Kanto region, it is simply impossible to stop throwing in millions of stones of grain.

Adding all these together, it is 300 million stones.

In the folk, 300 million shi of grain is enough for [-] households, and [-]% of them will be full for three years...
This is just part of the cost of this battle;
In addition to military rations, the Shaofu also mobilized various materials that are sufficient for the more than 20 combat units, such as vinegar cloth, meat, dried fruits and vegetables, sauces, and winter supplies ready to be sent to the front line just in case of emergency preparations.

This investment is the real 'big head'.

——300 million shi of grain, according to the current grain price of "120 qian per shi" in Chang'an this year, is only 6000 million yuan, which is completely within the acceptable range.

However, in order to supply supplementary food, meat, and winter supplies for the army, Shaofu invested as much as 15 million yuan...
Indeed, thanks to the blessings of the ancestors, the winter supplies prepared in advance for the army were fortunately not used;

Those hundreds of thousands of sets of winter clothes and thick mattresses can be kept in the Shaofu, and will be taken out when needed in the future.

But no matter what, the Shaofu has already poured down the cost firmly.

In addition, after the war, rewards for meritorious soldiers, compensation for casualties and other follow-up expenditures...

It is no exaggeration to say: This battle was not won by the Han Dynasty head-to-head at all, by fighting on the battlefield, but by spending at least 20 yuan of huge funds and using money and grain to win !

With such a huge cost input, Liu Ying was delighted with the final result, which was expected.

——In future generations, if someone wins a lottery ticket worth 500 million by spending two dollars, then this is definitely a happy event worth spreading;

But if you are a rich man who has saved hundreds of millions in the bank, bears the risk of bank bankruptcy, and only earns 500 million in interest after half a year of fear, I am afraid that it is not something to be happy about, or even to make people feel emotional. It's a fluctuating thing.

To put it simply, it means that with a sufficiently large investment, the corresponding or even uncorresponding returns will not make people feel too excited.

Even the "weak return" here is so far away in the eyes of ordinary people, but also so beautiful.

"That is to say, the Korean War has been decided, and the most important thing in the court should be the post-war affairs."

After everyone's flushed faces and those around them finished expressing their joy, Liu Ying suddenly poured out a basin of cold water, bringing everyone's emotions back to their eyes.

Liu Ying is very clear: Why did these heroes who have experienced battles and dynasties show such an excited expression during the Korean War.

——The situation in North Korea is too similar to South Vietnam...
North Korea is Weiman, the remnant of the traitor, and South Vietnam is Zhao Tuo, the remnant of the former dynasty;

North Korea is cold and mountainous, while South Vietnam is hot and humid with many forests;
North Korea and the Central Plains are separated by the Wei River, and South Vietnam and the Central Plains are separated by Wuling Mountains;

The most important thing is: For the Han Dynasty, North Korea is the same as South Vietnam. It is a situation where you can't die if you use too little strength, and you can't make mistakes if you use too much strength.

— like a fly or a mosquito.

Therefore, in the past, the Han Dynasty always adhered to the program of "stop fighting if you can't fight, and try to maintain the harmony on the surface" in order to gain valuable development time.

However, the Korean War to Exterminate the Wei Clan, which was like a child's play house, was also like an armed parade, but it caused these powerful figures to suddenly have an illusion.

——Will South Vietnam be the same as North Korea, which will be broken at the first touch, or even needn't be touched, as long as it is blown gently, it will disappear?

Combined with the similarities between South Vietnam and North Korea, the more you think about it, the more people feel: Well, it should be like this!
Go to heaven, that is, there are a few 'reasonable' people who compare Nanyue to a high-end version of Wiman;

But in the battle deduction in these people's minds, Zhao Tuo, who is "slightly better" than Wei Man, is only limited to the extent of "maybe fighting in the capital instead of running directly".

But as an 'informed person' who is really in charge of the country and watching the money and food being left like water, Liu Ying clearly knows that the problem in South Vietnam is indeed somewhat similar to that in North Korea, but it is by no means what these people think. 'Another armed march with a higher intensity'.

To put it bluntly: In the battle to destroy Weiman in Korea, Liu Ying's purse will flow out of more than 20 yuan;
As for South Vietnam, according to Liu Ying's conservative estimate, if they want to reproduce the "all-army attack" mode that destroyed Wiman and North Korea, and use stud to quickly cut through the mess, the cost of the war will probably be between 120 and [-] million yuan .

This is also the reason why Liu Ying took the initiative to speak up, reminding everyone to "don't think too far away, first think about what to do with North Korea".

——The cost of war in the feudal era was never simply "how much money was spent", but how much social resources were spent and how it affected the relationship between resource supply and demand.

The truth couldn't be more straightforward: Food is something that doesn't mean that if you have money, you can ask the system grandpa to exchange it in unlimited quantities.

When the food in the world is dispatched by the army within a short period of time, the visible part will be followed by rising prices and tight market supply.

Therefore, even if Liu Ying wanted to go out with a big stroke of a pen and smash half of the Shaofu, catch Zhao Tuo's old tortoise and put it in a cage to be raised as a baboon, Liu Ying must calm herself down.

——For the current Han Dynasty, Zhao Tuo and Nanyue are not urgent problems to be solved.

On the contrary: the digestion of North Korea, the "land of new services", is the great difficulty facing the Han monarchs and ministers at this moment...

　The new book just released by the old man showed me the first few tens of thousands of characters. It is very interesting and the level is quite high. I recommend it to my brothers.
