Chapter 417 Situation in the Western Regions

The population of Qin in this game world should have been about 40 to 50 million when it was unified. It has successfully preserved the foundation of Qin, and there have been no war methods such as water attacks that directly harm the living environment of the people. However, after The peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty, excluding the Qichu region, even including the Hebei region, only had a population of about 30 million at the moment.

If the South can be liberated peacefully, the population may reach 40 million.

However, with such a population, let alone wanting to cultivate the outside world, even if the Central Plains region is developed, Liu Hua despises that the population is too small.

So next, the policy of encouraging childbirth will definitely be the mainstream. As for what will happen if there are more people in the future, it will naturally be thrown into a feudal country. Anyway, as long as it is a feudal country, there will definitely be a lack of population.

The most important point is that foreign fiefdoms lack native populations, so over time they really become barbarians. If there are conflicts in the Central Plains, they can be used to transfer them.

The most typical one is the dispute between Jin and Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period.

The Jin State basically wants to dominate. It attacks the Chu State. If there are domestic conflicts, it attacks the Chu State. If it feels uncomfortable today, it attacks the Chu State. The reason used is to respect the king and resist the barbarians and maintain Chinese orthodoxy.

The entire history of the Spring and Autumn Period is actually basically a story that has to be told between the Jin State and the Chu State. However, the Jin State was too advanced and ended up being divided into three families. In the Chu State, the old aristocrats have always been in power, relying on the vastness of the country. The land lasted until the Warring States Period.

Therefore, in the era of enfeoffment, there was no need to worry about overpopulation, because as long as the corresponding household registration was opened, people who were not doing well in the country would jump to other vassal states, which would alleviate the contradiction between land and population in the country to a certain extent. of.

Liu Hua, who has experienced modern society, will not think that the problem of large population will be a problem in the future. When it comes time to find a way to control the population, the worst he can do is develop a real estate plan.

It is very difficult to let others have children, but if you want to prevent others from having children, you have personally experienced how to do it.

This time Liu Hua said that he can practice it!

Of course, this is just Liu Hua's thought. The overall trend now is for Liu Hua to encourage fertility and production!

Finally, Liu Hua looked at Xu Yourong and asked, "What's the situation in the Western Region? Do you need support?"

"Father, suppress the Western Regions, and the Liangzhou cavalry are invincible." Xu Yourong naturally boasted about the power of Northern Liang, and then said in a different tone, "But there are many powerful enemies in the Western Regions, including Tubo in the south, Parthia in the west, and Turks in the north. There are Huns in the east, and we in Beiliang still hope to support them."

Gee, Tubo, Huns, Turks, Northern Liang, and even Parthia all have forces developing in the Western Regions?

The forces in the Western Region are really complicated!

But in Liu Hua's opinion, the existence of Xu Ji, a half-step military god, is enough to suppress all dissatisfaction, and Beiliang is not weak at all, at least there is a military spirit.

"Although there can't be too many big battles, there will still be small-scale battles." Xu Yourong sighed and said. She knew how important it was for a person's growth to open their horizons after experiencing the empire war.

The reason why Lu Bu is the strongest man in the world is because he witnessed the imperial war and broadened his horizons, and was able to suppress Xiang Ceyu, Yuwen Chengdu and other powerful generals.

"We can ask Zhu Hai, Liu Yu, and Xiang Ceyu to send at least one person there," Xun Xi suggested. "That place is a place with mixed seniority. They can just send someone to go with them and broaden their horizons at the same time."

At the same time, it is necessary for these princes to continue to go to the outside world so that Chinese civilization can truly take root in other corners of the world.

Why did the expansion of China's territory slow down visibly after the Qin and Han Dynasties? The big reason is that the feudal system was completely crushed by the times in these two dynasties.

The existence of the feudal system allowed people to rule the land that did not originally belong to them the fastest, and lay down the foundation and even the culture.

Liu Hua nodded, believing that with Xu Ji's presence, there would be no chaos in the Western Regions. However, they had no idea what would happen next in the Western Regions. First, there was a decisive battle between the Xiongnu and the Turks. Hundreds of thousands of barbarians fought. The Han army joined in and completely killed the Turks.

The second Northern Liang vs. Tubo battle, 140,000 people vs. 300,000 people, was not too big. The third Western Region War, the Huns thought that the Han Empire would not withdraw from the Western Regions, so they should be destroyed together.

Eight demon king flags, six deified demon kings, more than forty mad demon generals, eleven elite barbarian legions recruited from the north such as Xianbei, Jie, and Khitan, plus Attila's bodyguards and the Xiongnu Shanyu Imperial Guards' two military spirit regiments, as well as a three-talented Zhelan Cavalry, Mao Dun directly said that if he doesn't leave, he will kill you too.

Therefore, Liu Hua felt that the mixed qualifications, a place where young people were trained, had long since become a sinkhole because of Xu Ji's random behavior.

Liu Hua turned to Xu Yourong and said, "You are the most familiar with the situation in the Western Regions, so it is up to you to talk about the situation in the Western Regions!"

"Nuo!" After hearing Liu Hua's words, Xu Yourong stood up and said, "The forces in the Western Region are complex and complicated, and because of the terrain, they basically live by water and grass, so they have multiple ethnic groups.

Among them, the countries in the Western Regions don't matter. Basically, Beiliang, our country, has established its dominance in the Western Regions last time. But there are five forces that need attention, one is Tubo, one is Turk, one is Kushan, one is Huns, and the last is Parthia!

Fortunately, Kushan only has one camel cavalry. Although it should not be underestimated, it has not invested too much power in the Western Region. The Turks have made a big move against Beiliang not long ago and have been severely damaged. It will not be possible to recover in a few years. Parthia's main force is dealing with Rome, so the only real threat to Northern Liang is the Tibetan Huns.

Both of them are staring at Beiliang with eager eyes and may launch a massive attack at any time. "

"Your Majesty, I think Zhang Xutuo, the Qin general, is very suitable. Coupled with Gao Jiong's wisdom, the two of them will lead the Qin army to the Western Regions. After joining Wang Li, they will definitely achieve great things." Fang Xuanling suggested.

It can just give the old man of Qin a hope, and it can also greatly stabilize Guanzhong and avoid civil strife.

"We need to show off the muscles of the big men, so I plan to let Kong Ming, Qu Bing, and Ling Ming go to the Western Regions together. After all, neither Beiliang nor the Huns have any knowledge of the strength of our big men." Liu Hua said.

To be honest, the Xiongnu, Tubo and other countries have never officially fought against the Han Dynasty, and they do not know the specific strength of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, the best solution is to put aside the Han army issue first. As long as the Han army does not directly intervene, everything will be easy to deal with.

After all, Liu Hua had just fought a battle in Luoyang. Although the Xiongnu did not know the specific situation, they encouraged the remnants of Donghu's Xianbei and Wuhuan armies to invade the north. Therefore, the Xiongnu believed that Liu Hua would not be able to do anything in a short time. Free up your hands to solve problems.

After all, it is not easy to transport food on the grassland, let alone Liu Hua transporting food from Chang'an to the border area. The distance itself is the best barrier between the two parties.

But even so, Mao Dun still determined that Liu Hua would send troops to attack Qin. Later, he fought with the remaining Xianbei army, and Mao Dun made up his mind to destroy Beiliang.

Because compared to the foreign races from the north, it is too terrifying for the Chinese civilization, which is dominated by farming culture, to restore its production capacity.

More importantly, the Huns were also afraid that Liu Hua would recover and swallow the Western Regions in one go, so they needed to increase their size. After winning the Western Regions, the Huns would at least have a way out.
