The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 237: Qin’s adjustment

? In the eyes of the people of the six countries in Shandong, Qin was called the country of tigers and wolves, naturally not only because of Qin's aggressive heart.

More importantly, it was the speed with which Qin started the war and the sufficient armaments in the treasury.

The slow efficiency of the six countries in Shandong, the corruption in the courts, and the mobilization of the entire nation’s army took him only two or three months. Since Qin was completely turned into a machine by the legalists, his efficiency was again How about it!

In one and a half months, the Kingdom of Zhao captured Taiyuan County, the Siege of Xinzheng in South Korea was disbanded, the broken East County was invaded by 150,000 troops of the Wei Kingdom, and the power of Qin Kingdom has been completely mobilized. stand up.

As I said before, the original territory of the Kingdom of Qin, calculated on the basis of more than fifty years, is enough time for the growth of three generations, and enough for the Kingdom of Qin to completely transform them into a member of the Kingdom of Qin.

During this period, the population of Qin State was 5 million. In the following fifty years, the east and the west, the south and the north, increased nearly half of its territory.

Above these territories, despite the many losses due to the war, they also added 5 million people.

But what Qin can really use is only those 5 million people.

From these five million people, 800,000 people have already been drawn to join the army, which is something Qin can barely do.

But that refers to the usually more peaceful period, and now it is almost the time to destroy the country, how can I take care of so much.

According to the practice of the Warring States Period, five people and one household were sent out to serve as soldiers.

Up to 5 million people, one million people will be able to join the army. Excluding the previous 800,000 people, another 200,000 people can be drawn out. These 200,000 people are all old Qin people who can conquer and are loyal to the Qin State. , That is not to say.

The remaining 5 million people are divided into several parts. The most important ones are the remnants of Zhao, Wei, South Korea, and Chu. The remains of these four countries, and some of them were obtained from the destruction of the Zhou Dynasty. .

Most of the populations of the above four countries are unbelievable, but the population gained from the destruction of the Zhou Dynasty can still be trusted.

The most critical reason is whether this country has been destroyed.

The six countries of Shandong still exist today, and they have been in Qin’s rule area, trying to instigate the people there and get them to revolt and return to the embrace of South Korea.

Because of these disgusting behaviors of the people of the Six Nations, the people in the newly-occupied area of ​​the Qin Dynasty were panicked, and people everywhere wanted to return to their original country.

The reason for this, in the final analysis, is the harshness of the Qin Law, which makes the people of the Six Nations very uncomfortable.

However, Qin Wang Yingzheng excluded some distrustful people from the land of these six countries, and selected a group of people who were loyal to Qin and trusted to join the army.

In addition to the homeland of the Zhou Dynasty, the population of the Qin Kingdom was fully committed there, and some more soldiers were recruited. Both sides made do with it, but he also recruited 200,000 people.

Adding the 200,000 that Qin can send from the mainland, the two are combined, and 400,000 troops can go on the expedition.

The 400,000 army, although huge in number, is enough to make any country in the six countries feel terrified.

But in the face of the joint efforts of all countries, Qin, which has enough frontier territory to defend, is still unable to send such a large number of troops to face the offensive of the six countries.

Therefore, we need to pay attention to certain strategies.

Since Taiyuan County was captured by the State of Zhao, King Qin had already understood that the two northern counties that had previously captured the State of Zhao were already difficult to defend.

Taiyuan County has been lost, so the northern Yanmen County, which is lonely outside the Great Wall, has become a solitary land, which can no longer be ruled.

Therefore, King Qin directly ordered the frontier army and some local defenders in Yanmen County to go south along the Great Wall, rubbing the border of Taiyuan County, and retreat to Shang County.

For this part of the retreating frontier army, Zhao Guo did not try to stop them. If they were left in Yanmen County, the Qin army who had no way of retreating would definitely resist.

The previous scene in Taiyuan County where the military and civilians colluded inside and outside to fight the Qin invaders together would be difficult to perform again in Yanmen County.

In addition to Qin Jun's defense, which will certainly not let Zhao Guo easily succeed, there is also the site of Yanmen County, which is vast and sparsely populated. The total amount is only about 200,000 people. It is difficult to shake this. There are 60,000 Qin troops in Yanmen County.

It's better to let these Qin troops retreat. Zhao Guohao took over the entire Yanmen County without any loss, and expanded the territory for thousands of miles without a single soldier. How could there be such a good thing?

These withdrawn Qin troops all accepted the order of King Qin and stayed on the spot in Shangjun to guard against possible attacks by the nomads in the north and Zhao State in the east.

At this time in Shang County, there were 70,000 left-behind and frontier troops in Shang County, plus the 60,000 evacuated from Yanmen County, and he had an army of 130,000.

With such a large number, it is more than enough to stay in a small Shangjun to guard against attacks by the nomads and Zhao people.

At least, the defensive Shangjun defenders~IndoMTL.com~ can be under the attack of Zhao Guo's all-out power. Because it is a local war, Zhao Guo can't implement any civil strife, which can support a long period of time. There is no problem for half a year.

Russia's East County, which is being ravaged by the State of Wei, and Tao County to the west of the East County, were also ordered to abandon by Ying Zheng, and all the remaining defenders retreated.

With this order, the defenders of the two armies moved, and correspondingly, the Wei army, who was attacking the East County, also stopped their steps.

Wei's army, under the order of the king of Wei, was in the Qin army's plate, watching them coldly, evacuating from East County and Tao County. The Qin's defenders in each county withdrew, and the Wei army Will rush to receive.

It didn't last too long. In half a month or 15 days, all the remaining 60,000 Qin troops in the two counties were withdrawn.

The retreating Qin army all rushed to Hanoi County, bringing the strength of Hanoi County to 100,000. The originally weak defenses were stabilized.

As for counties and counties in other directions in the Qin Kingdom, the South captured Nanyang and Nanjun from Chu, and the two armies originally had 50,000 defenders each.

And King Qin once again sent 100,000 people from the 400,000 troops that he had drawn out, so that the total number of troops on the southern front reached his 200,000 troops to fight against the 300,000 troops sent by Chu.

The remaining 30 troops, led by Qin's general, Wang Jian, once again drove to the territory of South Korea. This time they intend to complete the unfulfilled cause of Qin and destroy South Korea.

The reason for sending 300,000 troops, and also sending Qin’s only remaining war **** commander, is because South Korea is stationed with 200,000 cavalry at this moment, and it is the long-length army of the alliance.

With such a great god, Qin naturally needs to take care of it.
