I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 552 Knowing the heart of the few!

If you know Zhong Xingyin well, you will find that his political vision is ridiculously poor.

Zhong Xingyin took over the Zhongxing family in the early years, and after becoming the head of the family, he followed the Fan family and made a joint effort between the Fan family and the Zhongxing family to account for [-]% of the strength of Jin. But it was a drama that lost the civil war.

With so many king bombs in hand, why did they lose in the end?This is not a question of strength gap, it is clearly the incompetence of the leader.

In view of Zhong Xingyin's poor vision, Zhiyao who heard the suggestion had to be cautious.

Because a lot of people were arranged to be undercover agents in the past, and some undercover agents got mixed up in middle and high-level positions. Yuanguo has very detailed information on the Zhao family's Daiguo.

According to some information, Zhao's Daiguo has a population of less than 50, but its total military strength has reached an astonishing number of 18.

In the past few years, Zhao Wuxie had been staring at Lou Fan, provoking many wars on his own initiative, losing once or twice out of ten times, winning the rest, and getting a lot of spoils two or three times.

It is equivalent to saying that Zhao Wuxie's Zhao family seems to rely on sucking blood from the building to maintain development, not only to obtain livestock, but also to rapidly increase the population.

Can the Zhao Dynasty recruit 18 people to become a combat force?This number is much larger than many countries with a population of one million.

To use a term, Zhao Wuxie made all the people soldiers. Among the soldiers drawn out to participate in the war, there were men and women among them, ranging in age from nearly 60 to about 13 years old.

Referring to history, the current Zhao Dynasty is very similar to the Xiongnu, digging out more aggressive forces from itself, and playing with that hand to support war.

Zhiyao asked: "How many soldiers can Yiqu fight?"

Since Zhong Xingyin suggested that Yuan Guo should be an oriole, why should everyone have a good understanding of Yiqu and Zhao Daiguo?
The Yuanguo Center paid different attention to Zhao's Daiguo and Yiqu. The deployment of Zhao's Daiguo was relatively early, and the deployment was made later when they understood the threat of Yiqu. There was a big gap in the information that could be obtained.

Zhong Xingyin obviously had careful preparations, and began to describe his spying on Yiqu one by one.

It is hard to say how much the total population of Yiqu is now, and it can only be guessed from the number of troops sent by Yiqu repeatedly.

Considering that the mobilization rate of nomadic ethnic groups is more flexible than that of agricultural ethnic groups, for every nomadic force mobilized, there are about two to four people behind; it is also possible that one person will fight, and there are dozens of people behind. Many people have nothing to do.This takes connection into account.

However, in general, the mobilization rate of nomadic ethnic groups is generally much higher than that of agricultural ethnic groups. It is not uncommon for a population of nearly one million to mobilize an army of 50 million.

Bank of China mentioned the number of troops dispatched by Yiqu in recent years, which is generally between 40 and [-]. So the total population of Yiqu should be around [-] to [-]?

The Zhao family has a population of about 50, and has repeatedly mobilized more than [-] troops.That is due to the special age structure of the population of the Zhao Dynasty, and it cannot be applied to other forces.

"If there is an extreme mobilization, Yiqu may have [-] troops?" Zhong Xingyin concluded.

Zhiyao didn't know that Qin State was forced to be miserable by Yiqu several times in history, and to be honest, she looked down on Yiqu a bit.

Of course, the current Yiqu is not in its heyday. They have just mastered the tactics of "swimming without fighting", and need more time to understand the essence of "when the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we harass".

What Zhiyao needs to be concerned about is that Yiqu has acquired a group of craftsmen from the Qin State, and it is estimated that they have mastered more advanced mining and smelting technologies to improve the quality of weapons for the combatants.

Previously, the countries bordering foreign races, the reason why they fought against the surrounding foreign races was because of the professionalization of the troops of the countries and the advantages in weapons and equipment, tactics and tactics.

However, the Central Plains Dynasty usually had an advantage in weapons and equipment when facing the nomadic groups in the north, and there were still wars in which the Central Plains Dynasty was heavily beaten by the nomadic groups, from which it can be found that tactics and tactics fully dominated the victory or defeat of the war.

For example, in the Western Han Dynasty, the Han army used iron weapons to fight against the Xiongnu holding bronze weapons. At the beginning, they were at a comprehensive disadvantage. Later, the Han army also developed new tactics, and then they gradually fought back and forth until they were able to suppress the Xiongnu.

That is the display of the Xiongnu's superiority in tactics and warfare. It took nearly a hundred years for the Han Empire, which had more than 6000 million people and was superior in technology, to defeat the Xiongnu.

The essence of the tactics of the Huns is not complicated. Every time they succeed in surprise attacking the frontiers of the Han Empire, once the Han army has an advantage in the battle, they will not fight with them. When the Han army comes, they will get up, and repeat the trick of taking advantage of the Han Empire’s defense. .

In recent years, the Yuan country has not completely indulged the Zhao family's generation, the difficulty lies in finding the main force of the Zhao generation, and it is difficult to find the right habitat.

No kidding, the original army knew that the Zhao family was in the land of Jiuqu, but the land of Jiuqu was quite large. Once the Zhao family knew that a large number of original troops were coming, they would hide in the Yinshan Mountain, trying to hide in the vast Yinshan Mountain. The probability of finding someone inside is really low.

If the number of the original army is small, Zhao Wuxie can concentrate his superior forces to try to annihilate them.

The war between the Yuan Kingdom and the Zhao Dynasty entered the fishing mode very early. Usually, the Zhao Dynasty was hiding, and Zhao Wuxie obviously had a plan to build a city, and it was delayed again and again without even starting to build the foundation.

Zhong Xingyin said: "Zhao Wuxie doesn't want to fight Dayuan, but it is profitable to fight Yiqu. If the Zhao family wins on behalf of the country, they can march into Yiqu. Maybe Zhao Wuxie won't do it to seize the land, but he is very eager to seize people. .”

How else can we say that Zhao Wuji grew up under the Zhuxia education system?It is very difficult to fully understand that there are not enough people who want to accomplish something. Only a sufficient population can ensure the rise of national power.

Zhiyao's greed for increasing the population has never stopped, and she couldn't help but want to promulgate a decree to force more births several times. She knew that the relevant system could not keep up, so she held back abruptly.

"Indeed! With Yiqu's population as bait, Zhao Wuxie is willing to take the risk knowing the risks, right?" Zhiyao looked at her uncle with strange eyes, not quite sure whether Zhong Xingyin suddenly became enlightened, or if he got an expert give pointers.

Zhiyao had to explain some things clearly, and said: "If Dayuan gathers an army in Qin, Zhao's Daiguo and Yiqu will surely know about it, and the original war will disappear."

How could Bank of China not know this?
Zhiyao continued, "Only based on the land of Qin, about [-] soldiers can be assembled in one month. How can such a force do anything?"

Zhong Xingyin nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Twenty thousand can only be used for a sneak attack, and a large army will be needed to help in the next month."

At this moment, Zhiyao understood that Zhong Xingyin was not a temporary idea, he might have been thinking about it very early, and he probably even had a battle plan ready.

"How many reinforcements do you need?" Zhiyao asked simply.

Zhong Xingyin answered quickly, "No less than [-]."

There are only a few areas that can quickly reinforce the Qin land. There are not many people living in the Hexi land, even fewer than the Sanrong land.

Then, there is only one area that is most likely to quickly gather troops and carry out rapid reinforcements, and that is the Hedong area.

The current Hedong area is divided into three counties. In addition to Kaidong County, Shangdang County and Taiyuan County are counted in the belonging sequence.

And Hedong County used to be the concentrated area of ​​the Dukes of the Jin State, Shangdang County was originally dominated by the Han family, and Taiyuan County was the "Jinyang" nest of the Zhao family.

Nearly 30 years have passed since Zhi's family became a country, and Zhiyao has been dealing with the original residual problems, and many things have changed considerably.

For example, the current fiefdoms of the Han family are concentrated in Sanchuan County, the Fox family was squeezed to the intersection of Hedong County and Taiyuan County near Dahe, and the Zhong family was transferred to Hanoi County.

As long as you are not unfamiliar with the geography of mountains and rivers, you will find that Zhiyao has reclaimed all those strategically important areas, and the new sites assigned to the Han, Fox, and Zhong families seem to be rich in products, but in fact they are safe to defend.

Zhiyao silently calculated in her heart, further confirming that Zhong Xingyin had already planned.

Hedong County, Taiyuan County, and Shangdang County are all places with a relatively high degree of development. After receiving the mobilization order, [-] troops can be assembled within a month, and it takes one month to reach the battlefield. It is a buffer period that can be adjusted.

Zhiyao still needed to ask some questions clearly, so he asked: "Zhao Daiguo and Yiqu each assembled [-] troops, even if there were casualties in the battle, there must not be too many within three months. Is it possible to defeat them with [-] troops?" , or even wiped out?"

Zhong Xingyin shook his head and said: "What I want to do is to capture the habitats of both sides, force their main forces to come back, and then fight head-on."

That's not to rush to wipe out the opponent's main force, nor is it to eat up Yiqu and Zhao's Daiguo all at once.

Sure enough, Zhong Xingyin continued to say: "It will be a trouble for Dayuan's confidantes to make the Zhao family grow bigger on behalf of the country. It should not be allowed to grow, and it is better to eliminate it as soon as possible."

This statement is true not only because Zhao Wuxie is very capable, but also because the land of Jiuqu is a precious land, which has excellent conditions for both nomadism and farming.

There is such a force that has grown up in the land of nine bends. It can easily occupy the vast plains when it expands to the north, and it can threaten the safety of the Weishui River at any time when it goes south.

Obviously, there are mountains everywhere in the north of the Qin Dynasty, how can it be easy to reach Weishui from the land of nine bends?The reason is that there are too many mountains, and it seems that they can defend everywhere, but it is impossible to control so many passages.

If other people..., or someone from another family, seeks the military power of the [-] army from Zhiyao, Zhiyao will definitely slap him in the face.

No matter how the Zhongxing family is a member of the Xun family..., now the Zhi family has replaced the Xun family as Dazong, which means that the Zhongxing family is a member of the Zhi family.

Zhiyao is not only the ruler of the original country, but also the suzerain of the Zhi family. Whether it is from the world or the actual needs, it is natural that he needs to give preferential treatment to his own clansmen.

What Zhiyao is worried about now is, can Bank of China lead an army of [-] well?
Zhong Xingyin said very self-aware: "Your Majesty can send Yang Hu as a general at that time."

Yang Hu used to play for the Zhao family, even if many of the tactics used by Zhao Wujiu have changed, the core will still be based on the Zhao family's tactics.

Moreover, Yang Hu can be said to have watched Zhao Wuji grow up, so he should have some understanding of Zhao Wuji's thinking.

After hearing Zhong Xingyin's suggestion, Zhiyao felt a little happy, and thought: "Because Yang Hu was born in Lu State, he was sent to attack Lu State again and again; now because Yang Hu is familiar with the Zhao family, he has to continue to take on heavy responsibilities."

In fact, this is very damaging, and it will cause great negative effects on Yanghu's reputation.

It's just that Yang Hu never cared about those things, and even enjoyed it, as long as he could actually get the title promotion and other rewards.

So, Zhiyao seems to use Sun Wu and Sima Rangju very much. If you want to say which general is the best to use, without exception, it is Yang Hu.

After negotiating that matter, Zhong Xingyin did not follow Zhiyao to inspect Qin.

The Qin State has been destroyed for more than 20 years, and some people may still miss the rule of the Qin family with the surname Ying, but the clothes of the people in the Qin land have changed to the appearance of the original country.

The previous countries not only differed in writing, language and customs, but also had their own characteristics in terms of clothing.

For example, people in the state of Jin generally like to wear red and black clothes, people in the state of Qi like white and green, and people in the state of Qin like black and gray. All countries have their favorite color combinations.

The difference in clothing styles is not too great, but there are also some subtle differences, which are generally concentrated on the sleeves and waist.

The biggest feature of Yuanguo is that it has reduced the materials used for clothes. At first, the military uniforms no longer use long-sleeved styles. Later, the same design was carried out on the unified court uniforms, which led the people to gradually abandon long-sleeved styles and change them. For better fit and lightness.

The sentence "I save cloth for the country" is not a joke at present, but something that is really happening.

The relationship between the people is not forced to change, and there have been criticisms, but not too many.

In fact, as long as there is no "left lapel", most people really don't care that much, and at most complain about "lost long-sleeved fluttering style".

Because the original country did not pay much attention to the Qin land, the number of cities did not increase much, but the number of villages in some areas was increasing rapidly.As a result, the original country had to pay attention to it, and planned to build a city somewhere according to the local terrain and rural distribution.

This can also be regarded as a kind of local force center, but it is something Zhiyao is more happy to see.

There is no way, once the population inhabits in a certain place, there must be a city as the core of the place, one is to facilitate the smooth flow of government orders, and the other is to control the ownership of people's hearts.

Why is there the phrase "the mountain is high and the emperor is far away"?Isn't it because the command of the center cannot be effectively conveyed.

What Zhiyao didn't know was that the inspection team entered the Qin land, which aroused high tension between Yiqu and Zhao's Daiguo.

The two forces have stopped all friction, and there is even a trend of warming up relations. Once there are signs of the original state sending troops to crusade, a new round of alliance will inevitably be formed.

This is simply too normal.

Who made the original country strong?
However, Zhao's Daiguo and Yiqu also felt another kind of urgency. They were extremely eager to strengthen themselves, so that they would not be frightened again if there was any movement from Yuanguo...
