Chapter 2312: Protracted civil war, one year in a hurry

"good."

 After hearing what Song Yingxing said, Ying Hao nodded with satisfaction.

He naturally knows how difficult it is to train 50,000 qualified craftsmen in one year.

 The reason why he made such an arrangement was actually to put pressure on Song Yingxing deliberately.

Not only Song Yingxing, but also Yan Hui, Xi Zhicai, Liu Ye, Wang Meng, and even the emperor Ying Hao, who was not under pressure?

The officials under Ying Hao are different from the officials of all dynasties and generations. They are all highly capable, and enough pressure can better stimulate their potential and is the best motivation to spur them.

 Da Qin's resources are limited and will be gone once they are used up, but its manpower can be restored.

 The potential of officials has been stimulated, using less resources and less time to do more and bigger things, so Da Qin will naturally consume less resources.

Ying Hao has been very careful with his calculations. He relies on squeezing his subordinates and forcing them to work overtime to reduce the consumption of resources. This shows that Da Qin's finances are indeed not well-off.

Ying Hao deliberately put pressure on Song Yingxing and others. In addition to stimulating their potential, he also had another purpose, which was to use Baijia disciples such as Song Yingxing and Yan Hui to borrow the power of Baijia to help Great Qin develop.

For example, Yan Hui could not complete the academy plan on time by himself, but with the help of Confucianism, it was completely different, and he could even complete the task ahead of schedule.

Song Yingxing is a descendant of hundreds of schools, and the sect behind him is his pillar. It is not natural for the school to help his disciples go further in their career.

The foundation of Baijia is profound, and Ying Hao can pick up the wool appropriately without any psychological burden at all.

“You military advisors, Maodun and Dorgon have bought equipment for an army of 200,000 men from our great Qin state. Do you think they will be able to withstand Kublai Khan and Aguda?”

Ying Hao suddenly asked, but he got to the point with just one sentence.

Everyone was startled at first, and then fell into deep thought.

Yes, even if Moton and Dorgon have enough equipment, they do not have enough time to train. The combat effectiveness and morale of the soldiers are not high. How long can they withstand Kublai Khan and Agu who have high morale?

Zhang Liang stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that even if Maodun and Dorgon have the equipment support of our Great Qin, they may still be unable to resist Kublai Khan and Aguda in the end.

But they are not that easy to annex these two families. This is destined to be a protracted war. "

“The longer the civil war between the Yuan and Qing Dynasties lasts, the more beneficial it will be for our country, Great Qin. Do you think, how long will it take for the civil war between the Yuan and Qing Dynasties to determine the winner?” Ying Hao asked.

 Guo Jia stood up and said in a deep voice: "Modun and Dorgon are both ready for a protracted war, so it will take at least half a year to a year."

 “Half a year to a year?”

Ying Hao pondered, then a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said with a gloomy expression: "But I hope that the civil war between the Yuan and Qing Dynasties will last longer, until the foundations of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties are exhausted. It would be best to fight the two countries into a clean slate. I don't know. Can you, the military advisors, have some plans to help me share my worries?"

As soon as these words came out, all the counselors couldn't help but shudder. His Majesty became more and more vicious and couldn't help but subconsciously look at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was stunned and thought, what do you think I mean? Then he lowered his head and pretended not to see.

All the counselors were lost in thought. Soon after, Zhang Liang was the first to speak: "If we want the civil war between the Yuan and Qing Dynasties to last longer, it is not enough to rely solely on equipment and material support. Wei Chen believes that when necessary, we can directly send troops Help each other.”

Ying Hao's brows furrowed: "But Great Qin's training plan is that in the next three years, except for the conquest of Japan in one year, it will not use troops against any force."

　　The purpose of conquering Japan was to plunder the Japanese islands, to feed themselves back by plundering the wealth of the Japanese countries, and to offset the consumption of the land and water armies.

Anyway, the Japanese people have never respected martial ethics. When the Olympic Games were held in later generations, they did not even abide by the rules they set, and regarded the people of the world as blind people.

Facing such a shameless nation, Ying Hao naturally didn't know how to practice martial arts, so he directly led a group of younger brothers to fight in a group, letting them feel the iron fist of his father in heaven.

After hearing what Ying Hao said, Zhang Liang replied: "May I ask Your Majesty, which one is more important, conquering the Japanese or causing Yuan and Qing to fall into internal strife?"

Ying Hao fell silent.

 Is there any need to ask? Of course, conquering Japan is more important. This is the obsession of all time travellers.

 But Ying Hao did not say these words, because he knew that in the hearts of all the counselors, it was definitely more important to let Yuan and Qing fall into internal strife.

They never thought that the mere Japanese island was a threat to the Qin Dynasty. If they had not learned that there were many gold and silver mines on the Japanese island and that they could make a lot of money by attacking the Japanese island, they would have even opposed Ying Hao's attack on the Japanese island before unification. soldiers.

 What Zhang Liang actually meant was that in terms of priority in sending troops, the issues of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties must be ranked first, and the conquest of Japan could be postponed later.

Ying Hao intellectually believed that Zhang Liang was right, but emotionally he couldn't accept it. After a moment of silence, he said: "The conquest of Japan was initiated by me, the Qin Dynasty. Now that Wei, Song, and Wu all agree, if my country, the Qin Dynasty, backs down, then this will happen." How do the Three Kingdoms view our Great Qin?"

Zhang Liang couldn't help but be startled. He obviously didn't agree with this reason. After all, when did Great Qin care about the opinions of the Three Kingdoms? However, he also heard the subtext of Ying Hao, that is, Zheng Wa must not be changed.

Not only Zhang Liang, but also Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others also didn't understand. They didn't understand why Ying Hao was so persistent in the Japanese island, and even became hostile to the point of hatred.

If it were just Japanese pirates that invaded and massacred a large number of civilians, Your Majesty should not be so hostile. After all, the Yuan and Qing tribes massacred more Han people.

This thing is indeed strange when it comes to other people, but it is not strange when it comes to Ying Hao. After all, there are many things about Ying Hao that people can’t understand. Even Jia Xu, who thinks he knows Ying Hao best, never I understand this nephew.

Although Zhang Liang didn’t know Ying Hao’s thoughts, this did not hinder his planning, so he continued: “Your Majesty, in fact, even if we, the Qin Dynasty, do not directly send troops to intervene, we can still continue the internal fighting between the Yuan and Qing Dynasties.

Once Maodun and Dorgon are discovered and there are signs that they cannot hold out, Daqin can definitely send more troops to the border as a deterrent and force Kublai Khan and Agu to retreat.

Kublai Khan and Aguda do not know the strength of our army, and there is a high probability that they will choose to retreat. Even if they do not retreat, they will definitely allocate part of their troops to defend our army. In this way, the pressure on Maodun and Dorgon will naturally be reduced. "

Ying Hao's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. This is the level of seeking a saint. What he wants is the best of both worlds.

“But even so, what if Maodun and Dorgon still can’t stop Kublai Khan and Aguda?” Ying Hao asked again.

Zhang Liang's cheeks couldn't help but twitch, and then he said seriously: "Then we must send troops, even if it affects our cultivation and health."

 The implication is that even if development is sacrificed, the unification of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties must be prevented. Ying Hao also showed his approval. After all, if the Yuan and Qing Dynasties were unified, it would have a great impact on the Qin Dynasty.

Northern Xinjiang needs at least 300,000 to 400,000 more troops to ensure that the process of unifying the world is not affected.

Rather than doing this, it would be better to sacrifice part of the development and directly send troops to interrupt the unification process of Yuan and Meng, making them unable to interfere in the unification of Qin.

If Da Qin wanted to send troops to the Yuan and Qing Dynasties, it could only send cavalry there. With the combat power of Da Qin's cavalry, dispatching 40,000 to 50,000 cavalry was enough to ensure that Mao Dun and Dorgon would not be destroyed.

 Although the consumption of 50,000 cavalry is not small, Da Qin can still afford it in half a year to a year, and it will not have much impact on the development of the country.

 In general, due to the civil war between the Yuan and Qing Dynasties, the policies of Qin Dynasty were inevitably affected.

 In the next three years, Great Qin may not launch a large-scale campaign, but local small-scale wars are unavoidable.

　　——————

 One year flies by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Great Qin ushered in the second year of Shenwu.

 This year was not only a stable and peaceful year for Da Qin, but also a year filled with various major events.

First of all, it was the fleet that sailed to the Western Ocean. Only two months after setting off, the first fleet returned and brought back a huge amount of wealth to Da Qin. It also completely eliminated Da Qin's problem of lack of development funds.

The process of transporting the funds back to Luoyang was not smooth, but Da Qin's security measures were also top-notch. Not only were they escorted by a large army, but they were also equipped with great masters.

Although the **** process was somewhat tortuous, the funds were eventually transported back to Luoyang smoothly, and five masters were killed along the way.

With the financial support from sea trade and military purchases in the Yuan and Qing Dynasties, Ying Hao finally no longer had to be timid and could go bold and confident.

 With the support of sufficient funds, all aspects of Daqin's scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are developing at a rapid pace that can be seen with the naked eye.

 The school palace was originally planned to be built in three years, but half of it was built in just one year.

As for the construction of Chi Road, 45% of the Youji Chi Road has been completed, 50% of the Hebei Qingchi Road has been completed, 40% of the Hebei Bingchi Road has been completed, 35% of the Bingyouchi Road has been completed, and 45% of the Hebei Chi Road has been completed. All of them have exceeded their tasks.

If this trend continues, Chidao, which was originally planned to be repaired in three years, will be completed in two and a half years at most.

As for the waterway improvement and land reclamation plans, they are also progressing smoothly, and the planned goals can also be completed ahead of schedule.

 After a year of governance, Daqin ushered in a period of rapid development.

 Jingbei and Sizhou have both returned to pre-war levels.

 The total national fiscal revenue has fully doubled, and grain production has also increased by 80% compared with before, which can be said to have greatly exceeded expectations.

In addition to the great financial development, many other major events occurred in Daqin during this year, and the first to bear the brunt was naturally the civil war in the Yuan and Qing Dynasties.

Knowing that Da Qin had sold equipment to its rivals, Kublai Khan and Aguda were naturally extremely dissatisfied, so they sent envoys to Luoyang to protest against Ying Hao. However, they were sent away by Zhang Yi's Foreign Affairs Department without even seeing Ying Hao's face. .

Zhang Yi told Yuan and Qing that the transaction with the Moton Dorgon family was a normal commercial exchange between the two countries and belonged to the internal affairs of Da Qin. No country was qualified to intervene, and no country would refuse to buy Da Qin.

This sentence blocked up the rest of the Yuan and Qing envoys.

The envoys of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties were naturally unwilling to go back like this, so they offered to take over Da Qin's inventory. Da Qin had no extra goods, so naturally they would not sell equipment to their mortal enemy.

As a result, they sadly discovered that Da Qin's inventory was far larger than they imagined. Even the Yuan and Qing dynasties could not contain it, so they could only buy part of it first and expand their army along with their opponents.

 After the civil war of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties began, the fighting situation was extremely tragic.

　　The four forces were completely prepared to fight. In just half a year, no less than 150,000 troops were killed in the battle, while the number of civilian casualties was even higher, starting at at least 300,000.

As expected by Zhang Liang, Kublai Khan took the initiative in the war after paying a heavy price. However, just when he wanted to take advantage of the situation and destroy Maodun in one fell swoop, he received the news that the Qin army sent ten more troops to Yanmen Pass. Thousands of news.

Kublai Khan was horrified when he heard the inquiry. He immediately sent an envoy to question the Qin army's intentions, and at the same time suspended the offensive, which also gave Mao Dun a precious breathing space.

　　After some fruitless negotiations, Kublai Khan did not give up on unification, but continued to fight, but allocated part of his troops to defend the Qin Dynasty, which also reduced the pressure on Maodun a lot.

Ying Hao saw that Mao Dun could still hold on, so he did not directly send troops, but continued to pay attention to the grassland war situation.

Dorgon's side was much stronger than Maodun's. After all, he was on the defensive side, and he also had many mountain cities and the strong city of Shengjing in hand, so he was not quickly defeated by Aguda.

The time was pushed to April, and the Sui army also officially sent troops to the Western Regions. However, after entering the Western Regions, it was discovered that the countries in the Western Regions had actually formed an anti-Sui alliance.

The Qin mission headed by Ji Xiaolan arrived in the Western Regions ahead of the Sui army. After informing the various countries of the Sui army's ambitions, they also lobbied all countries to put aside their grievances and join forces to fight against the Sui Dynasty. This was how the Anti-Sui Alliance came into being.

After Yang Su learned about this, although he knew that the next battle would be ten times more difficult than the original plan, he still did not choose to retreat. Instead, he chose to fight steadily.

In the first battle, Yang Su saw through the ambush of the Western Region Allied Forces and killed 20,000 Western Region Allied Forces through counter-ambush. After that, he easily wiped out five small countries.

 After the defeat in the first battle, the Western Region Alliance, which was originally very loose, immediately became tightly united.

But even so, the Western Region Allied Forces still couldn't defeat the Sui Army.

The comprehensive combat power and equipment gap between the two sides was too great. The 100,000 Western Region Allied Forces were defeated by 30,000 Sui troops head-on, and 50,000 soldiers were directly killed.

With this battle, Yang Su frightened all the countries in the Western Regions, even to the point of crying.

But in order for their country to continue to exist, the countries in the Western Regions had to bite the bullet and continue to fight the Sui army.

There are also wise men among the countries in the Western Regions. They know that they may not be able to defeat the Sui army with their own strength, so they ask Ji Xiaolan for help, hoping that Da Qin can serve as their leader and send troops to help the Western Regions defeat the Sui army.

I was very angry after watching the Tokyo Olympics, so the author decided to speed up the pace, abbreviate some plots such as the Western Regions, and accelerate the entry into the conquest of Japan.
