Chapter 594 Arming
Changing customs did not meet much resistance.

It's good to eat well these days, and not many people care about hairstyles and clothes.

It didn't take much effort for Suo Jing to implement it. Yang Zheng had already laid the foundation for so many years, and now it's just the time to reap the rewards.

Pang Qing and Huo Biao's health gradually improved.

Huo Yi defeated Soochow, beheaded the Governor of Jiaozhou of Soochow and General Xiu Ze, and the news of winning most of Jiaozhou spread to Chang'an, and everyone in the court was excited.

It is similar to the great Qin Dynasty, which firmly occupied the huge territory of Nanzhong and Jiaozhou without using a single soldier.

It is self-evident what this kind of military merit represents.

Huo Biao became a celebrity in Chang'an City.

Huo Yi also took the initiative to ask the imperial court to send officials to set up the Xuanyi Division and the Comfort Division. His loyalty is beyond words.

Huo Yi also became the third handsome talent in Qin State who could stand side by side with Zhang Te and Du Yu.

The marriage between King Qin's eldest daughter and Huo Biao was even more sensational.

This means that the south of Daqin has been completely stabilized.

Naturally, the ruling and opposition parties of the Qin State were full of praise for Huo Yi's ancestors and grandchildren.

Yang Zheng was not stingy either, he granted Huo Yi the title of General of Zhennan, the governor of the military forces in Nanzhong and Jiaozhou, the reinforcement of the guards, and the title of Marquis of Gaoxiang.

Yang Ji is the governor of Jiaozhou, General Weiyuan, General Huben Lang, Dong Yuan is the prefect of Yulin, General Mingwei, General Yingyanglang, Mao Jiong is the prefect of Rinan, General Dingyuan, General Yingyanglang, Meng Yue is the nine Zhen Taishou, General Xuanxin, General Yingyanglang, all four of them entered the Marquis of Guannei.

The other ten generals were all Marquis of Guanzhong and Hu Weilang, and they were promoted to partial generals, school lieutenants, etc. according to their merits.

Refine Mingguang Armor, Hundred Refined Swords, Banners, Tooth Baskets and other things in recognition of their meritorious deeds.

The fifteen tyrants who participated in the conquest were all sealed off as Marquis outside the pass, bestowed with honors such as Xiaoqilang and Yingjilang, precious armor and sharp blades, flags and teeth, and other honors.

All in all, full honors to them.

Substantial benefits, they rely on themselves to go outside to get.

But what the tyrants want is the recognition of Chang'an to ensure their legitimacy in Nanzhong and Jiaozhou.

In this battle, Nanzhong not only had peace of mind, but also won most of Jiaozhou, giving Soochow a head-on blow.

"Soochow suffered such a big defeat, they must have become angry from embarrassment, and counterattacked Jiaozhou. Your Majesty made preparations early in the morning." Wei Guan was not as optimistic as Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng frowned. This possibility is extremely high. Now Jin and Wu form an alliance.

Sima Zhao's vitality was seriously injured, and Yang Zheng wanted to share the land and emigrate the people, so he didn't have the energy to start a big war.

Soochow is different.

In the Battle of Shouchun, the loss was only Wenqin and Tang Zi, the Northern Kingdom's surrendered army. All of them were part of the whole clan, and the main force of Soochow was not damaged.

Soochow is still strong and energetic.

"Can the army of Central Shu be stationed in Yong'an, ready to attack at any time, to contain Wu's army?" Yang Zheng came up with a plan in a blink of an eye.

Spend all Wu's energy under the city of Yong'an.

Wei Guan shook his head, "There are also capable people in the state of Wu, who will surely see through the king's schemes. Jiaozhou whips are out of reach, and the Dongwu navy has arrived in a blink of an eye. It is difficult for our army to compete with Dongwu. It is better to emigrate its people to Nanzhong!"

The victory in Jiaozhou was due to Huo Yi, Yang Ji, Mao Jiong and others who fought bravely and supported them powerfully;

It is already the limit of Qin State's national power to invest in Shuzhong. Huo Yi's full support is still needed to win Nanzhong. As for Jiaozhou, it has exceeded the current limit of Qin State's power projection.

Yang Ji and others can certainly defend, but building cities and training soldiers to open up farmland also requires time and resources to invest.

Wu Guo will not give this opportunity.

The Soochow navy can directly attack Jiaozhi by crossing the sea.

The forces of Yang Ji and others are at a serious disadvantage.

If it was a battle of [-] to [-] to [-] to [-], Huo Yi Yangji should be able to handle it.

But if Soochow is like a mad dog, with an army of 10,000+ advancing both land and water, Jiaozhou will definitely not be able to defend it.

Wei Guan was also worried about this.

The people in Soochow can't speculate with common sense.

Obviously, Qin and Wu should form an alliance to carve up the Central Plains, but they don't want to fight you to the death.

This kind of personality is very similar to Sun Quan. In his early years, he was wise and powerful, Chibi fought against Cao Cao, and he used Lu Su and Lu Xun.

There is no doubt that Soochow has entered his later years.

"Boyu's words are true, but since Huo Yi is the commander of the military forces in the south, I wrote a letter alone to ask for his opinion."

The respect that should be given still has to be given.

Yang Ji, Mao Jiong, and Dong Yuan are all Huo Yi's former subordinates, so let's listen to Huo Yi's opinion.

And Huo Yi himself is also a famous general.

Wei Guan also nodded, "Your Majesty's words are absolutely true."

Speaking of military affairs, Yang Zheng turned his attention to the sand table. Qin State moved its capital to Chang'an, and the people in central Sichuan moved north one after another.

But Tongguan is not in his hands, and he still feels a little guilty.

Peace is only short-lived, and war is eternal.

The wars since the Three Kingdoms have all turned into plundering the people. Cao Cao migrated to Hanzhong, Monan Huns, and Wuhuan, Sima Yi migrated to Liaodong Han people, Zhuge Wuhou migrated to Longyou people, and Jiang Wei did the same.

In the event of a war in the future, the Jin army will definitely plunder the people first.

Yang Zheng did the same to the Sima family back then.

But the strength of Tongguan is rare in the world.

Since Cao Cao built this pass, he has always looked down on Sanqin and deterred Yongliang.

The new Tongguan guard general Hongnong Taishou is an acquaintance Wang Jun, and Yan Xun, Xia Houxian and other generals are under his command.

He and Zhuge Xu, the Nanyang prefect who guarded Wuguan, were horns with each other.

Whether Yan Xun, Xiahou Xianniu is a cow or not, Yang Zheng doesn't know, but Wang Jun must have two brushes.

He himself was born in Hongnong, and was supported by local tyrants.

In this situation, Tongguan can't win at all.

Sima Zhao is not good at fighting, and the level of employing people is quite high.

"The defenses in Huayin, Linjin, and Lantian have intensified," Yang Zheng said.

"Huayin has [-] Chinese infantry garrisoned, and three Zhechong mansions. Linjin has [-] Chinese army infantry, and [-] Zhe Chongfu. Lantian also has [-] Chinese troops, and [-] Zhe Chongfu." Wei Guan reminded.

"Not enough." Yang Zheng shook his head.

The next time the Sima family comes, it will definitely be a thunderous blow, with 30 to [-] troops going up, such a small number of troops to defend is a drop in the bucket.

"The two counties of Feng Sa and Taiyuan were set up as military towns, and each town had [-]-fold Chongfu, with [-] Chinese troops each. Huayin and Lantian set up [-]-fold Chongfu, with [-] Chinese troops each. Reinforce the city defenses in Duling and other places, with [-] cavalry in each city, and divide the troops to defend Chang'an." Yang Zheng pointed to the east of Chang'an.

Twelve folds to rush to the mansion, that is, [-] mansion soldiers, plus [-] Chinese troops, [-] troops, enough to attack and defend.

In the past, they were poor, with no one and no food, but now the land equalization system is implemented, and the population in central Sichuan has been released.

Yang Zheng's nouveau riche face can be seen at a glance.

Guanzhong alone has a population of almost 100 million. The people in central Shu and Hexi are still migrating. Migration is also a slow process, and it is done in batches. It is impossible to flock to Guanzhong all at once.

In the future, Guanzhong is expected to have a population of about 250 million.

Cao Wei's registered population is only about 500 million, and he has to guard many places, such as Youji, Shangdang, Hedong, Shangyong, Jingzhou, Huainan and so on.

This is where the power to strengthen Qin lies.

Yang Zheng only needs to defend the important towns of Linjin, Huayin, Lantian, Taiyuan, Yong'an, and Huangjinwei.

Able to concentrate forces and break through in one direction.

One ebbs and another, geographically, Qin still maintains its offensive.

If it wasn't for Zhou Yu's Shangdang defeat, this offensive would have been even stronger.
