Chapter 864: The first batch of mobilization orders

Meng Tian also couldn't understand the reason why such a big slave riot broke out in the north. No matter how chaotic the situation is. The main task at present is still to quell the huge social disorder caused by the riots. Qin State needs to calm this matter down as soon as possible.

"The biggest problem at the moment is the north, not the besieged prime minister." Wei Liao said. King Qin listened quietly to the opinions of the ministers.

"The northern part of Qin is a nomadic tribe. These nomadic tribes are difficult to tame. Although we Qin continuously attacked them, the level of attack was far from completely eradicating them. Instead, these nomadic tribes survived." Liao summed up his own opinions and told the story, relying on his understanding of the northern nomadic tribes.

"These nomadic tribes are fierce and sturdy. Once the attack is severe, they will inevitably take retaliatory measures, and will cause serious damage to the situation in the north of our country. If we fail to take timely measures to calm the situation in the north, the northern nomadic tribes form a force to go south, then we A large area of ​​newly-occupied territory will be lost. For Qin, the loss of majesty is serious." Wei Liao analyzed at this time.

After hearing this, King Qin just nodded. But he did not speak.

"The situation in the northern Yan State is just a matter of delays in the arrival of reinforcements. The problem lies in time, not in urgency and difficulty. The North is different. The North is a chaotic situation, and now the roots are no longer important. The important thing is, Qin State. We can't afford to delay in time. Once the news reaches the northern nomadic tribe, the nomadic tribe takes the opportunity to make trouble, then our situation will be bad." Wei Liao analyzed.

Wei Liao's analysis is based on his understanding of the northern tribes. Then analyze it based on the similarity theory of geography and geography. The six eastern countries that Qin faced were not a major disaster. Because the strength of the six countries has fallen to a historical low point. This is the result of statistics based on an unofficial figure. Qin State began to follow the figures blindly. They like to use numbers to describe everything. In such a situation, Qin officials have followed suit one after another.

The figures show that the economic figures of the six countries have fallen far behind Qin. For example, in terms of steel production, Qin has an absolute advantage, and almost all steel comes from Qin. Steel is undoubtedly one of the most important social resources of this era.

In addition, Qin also occupies an absolute advantage in terms of a large number of cement and building materials. The most important thing is scientific research and development capabilities. Qin State steadily occupied the first position among the Warring States. Moreover, Qin's domestic economic strength has been accumulated for more than one hundred years. With such accumulation, Qin can easily become prosperous and strong.

Compared with each language of the six countries. The six countries are inferior to Qin in all aspects. Regardless of steel production, they can only use iron instead of steel. Even if there is steel, it is difficult to form a huge industrial system like the Qin State. They are just staying at the stage of a handicraft workshop. Compared with Qin's large factories, they seem to be far behind.

These figures are enough to support Qin's huge imperial confidence. But this huge empire also has troubles that are hard to get rid of. A group of northern nomadic tribes looked at Qin. Although Qin continuously attacked it, the scale of the attack was fatal to the northern nomadic tribes, but it still took a long time for Qin to completely eliminate its opponents.

The nomadic tribes in the north are like wolves. They kill wolves but are bitten by wolves. In the face of such a ferocious wolf in the north, Qin could only take the most severe blow to completely wipe it out.

Qin's attitude towards the north comes from two aspects. The first is Qin's domestic economic needs. The demand for beef and mutton in the State of Qin continuously hit historical highs, and the people of the State of Qin cannot lack beef and mutton for every meal on the table. Coupled with the emergence of refrigeration technologies such as refrigerators, this has made Qin's demand for meat more and more. At the same time, with the emergence of canned food, Qin State had the opportunity to export a large amount of this cheap commodity to impact the food market order of the six countries, such as grain. Qin State not only meets his own needs, but also provides a huge source of food for the six countries.

Qin State is improving the food pattern on the table in the six countries. Such a huge food source. All come from the nomadic areas in the north of Qin. The nomadic areas in the north have become an important source of meat for the Qin State, and the changes in the food pattern of the Qin State are inseparable from the nomadic areas in the north. Once the Qin State loses the northern nomads, then the Qin State will have to change its original vegetarian pattern again. It is obviously impossible for the Qin State to change back with such a pattern.

The nomadic areas in the north have become an important part of the Qin State, it can be said that it is a part of the important resources, and the Qin State cannot be lost. Another reason is the influence of Qin's political power. The folk scholars of the Qin Kingdom, as well as the politicians of the Qin Kingdom who said what they said, are all admiring the imperial dream of Qin becoming a huge empire on land. Their imperial dream is based on the developed geographical and technological foundation of Qin. Above, with the use of latitude and longitude and clocks, the people of Qin have realized more and more places. Although it has not been confirmed that the earth is round, some people already believe that the earth is round. Ever since, they began to actively expand all the land they could occupy. No matter what these lands can do, but in general, it is to occupy. Qin's ambitions are swelling unlimitedly. The result of expansion is that Qin's northern territory will expand to the place where it sees the sea.

Under such a background, the north of Qin was in chaos, and the demands of Qin's ruling and opposition parties for calmness were naturally high.

"My lord, not only is the situation in the north in chaos. The forces in the north may not be able to maintain the situation in the entire north." Wang Jian said at this time. King Qin frowned at this. When it comes to military issues, it is the most sensitive issue for King Qin.

"According to the latest statistics, the Northern Military Region formed by the merger of the two northern states of Qin State has only one division and one brigade garrisoned, and its strength exceeds 20,000." Wang Jian said with some worry. And when this number is said. The ministers of the Qin State showed a panic expression.

"Ah." A minister called out in surprise. This is really unbelievable. In such a large territory, there is only one division and one brigade garrisoned, and the force is less than 20,000.

Wang Jian looked at the minister and continued.

"If you add the number of militias in the two states, this number is only more than 80,000, and the combined territories of the two states exceed seven thousand miles. The number of defenders and the area of ​​defense are extremely asymmetry." Wang Jian lowered his head and said. When Wang Jian noticed this number, Wang Jian was also very surprised.

When King Qin heard this number, his expression was astonished. This was really terrifying. The huge north was only handed over to the regular army of less than 20,000, and the total number of militia reserves was only 80,000. That is to say, Qin only used less than 100,000 troops to defend more than Chu. local. The entire northern defense is extremely empty.

"Why did you find that the defense of the north was empty now?" King Qin asked a little excitedly.

"Although the situation in the north is on the defensive, the forces have always been deployed forward. That is to say, although our army has adopted a defensive strategy, it has always been offensive tactically. In addition, the militia can provide enough protection. Therefore, Qin Guobei The demand for troop strength has not increased. With the reorganization of some troops in Qin State and the use of troops in the northwest, it is already difficult for Qin State to draw a military force to the north." Wang Jian said.

At this time, King Qin calmed down and calculated his current use of Qin. At present, the State of Qin has undergone a large-scale disarmament and two reductions in military expenditures. The total force is only maintained at about 200,000. This force is very, very asymmetrical to Qin’s current territorial area. Qin’s force only provides limited national defense and protection of key areas, 200,000. Because of defense and defense of key areas, more than half of the force is occupied, plus a reserve force and the issue of the use of troops in the northwest. Qin's troops were consumed all at once. But the war potential of the Qin Kingdom is very huge. This is exactly the powerful point of Shangwen's initial reform. There are as many as a million soldiers hidden among the people of the Qin Dynasty. Every household has guns, and the folk's practice of martial arts is even greater than before. Moreover, these soldiers can go to the battlefield immediately with a little training, and Qin's domestic economy can immediately turn into wartime track.

Not only that, the males of the Qin State can not only instantly transform into soldiers to supplement Qin's military strength. Some women can also join in. They can control the logistics system of the entire Qin State. A considerable number of women in the Qin army are doing some copywriting, and some have also joined the combat troops. At the same time, women can also enter the industrial system of the Qin State. This way. Qin's war potential has doubled invisibly. King Qin still knew this.

"What is the solution?" King Qin asked at this time.

"Issue the first batch of mobilization orders." Wang Jian said at this time.

"Our Qin army can only solve the situation in the north by mobilizing some of the potential of its troops. It is too thin to have only one division and one brigade in the north." Wang Jian said.

"How many potential soldiers to mobilize?" King Qin asked.

"At least two well-established divisions," Wang Jian said.

"How many people?" King Qin asked.

"Thirty thousand." Wang Jian replied.

"The widow ordered the mobilization of two cavalry brigades after another." King Qin said at this time.

"Your Majesty, the minister believes that the Guanzhong reserve forces should be deployed northward." Wang Jian said immediately at this time. When King Qin was about to call Zhao Gao to give an order, he heard such a suggestion from Wang Jian.
