In just a few years, the population of Shaanxi dropped sharply from four or five million to more than one million at that time.
Many prosperous county towns have withered directly due to the war.
It is said to be a county town, but if you look at the population size, it is not as good as a town before Lien Chan.
At that time, faced with the scarcity of population, the first thought in Shaanxi was to send a large number of refugees from Shanxi, Shandong and North Zhili back to Shaanxi to make Shaanxi prosperous again.
However, the idea was opposed by Wang Peng and others as soon as it was said …
The reason for the objection is simple …
Shaanxi roots can’t produce so much food to feed so many people because of drought every year …
Even at that time, the Shaanxi Governor’s Office directly took out more than 100,000 taels of silver to build water conservancy projects, and the grain produced in Shaanxi only met the needs of more than one million people and tens of thousands of tiger and leopard troops in Shaanxi …
Even Shaanxi, which has invested more than 100,000 taels of silver, is even worse. Moreover, it has been squeezed by the imperial court. The population far exceeds that of Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu, Qinghai and other places.
Wei Zheng’s face slowly reveals an expression of an epiphany, and then directly opens his mouth to ask Locke for a raise …
"The situation has been bad to what extent …"
According to the intelligence that Wei came back from these provinces, more than 300,000 people participated in the riots … Every province in these provinces has … "
"Not only that, because horses are produced in Ningxia, Qinghai and other places … There are more than fifty thousand cavalry among these mobs …"
"In addition, perhaps these mobs know that Shaanxi people have food in their hands … Gansu and Ningxia, which are closest to Shaanxi, have already married more than 150,000 mobs …"
"Not surprisingly, these mobs must be going to enter Shaanxi to get the food they urgently need from the Shaanxi people …"
At this time, Wei Zheng’s face expression began to become dignified.
Because of the northwest situation, it is far beyond your imagination. If you don’t arrange it yourself, 20 thousand tigers and leopards in Shaanxi can’t control the whole battlefield situation
One hundred and fifty thousand rioters are less than thirty thousand cavalry in proportion.
And their own arrangement of Shaanxi 20,000 Tiger and Leopard Army elite is mainly to deal with the Mongols. A cavalry division and an infantry division in the 20,000 Tiger and Leopard Army decorate the Mongolian line …
That is to say, the Tiger and Leopard Army can really threaten these mutinous soldiers. There is a musketeer division at the very most, and this musketeer division is also scattered in three different places for defense. It is easy to be divided and surrounded by mutinous soldiers with military advantages …
Think of these dignified WeiZheng is almost consciousness said.
"We must immediately dispatch troops to the northwest to solve these mutinous soldiers … not only that, but also completely solve this hidden danger once and for all, so that there will be no more riots in the northwest due to drought, and then solve the mutinous soldiers. At the same time, it is best to control a few provinces in the northwest in our hands at one time …"
"Because of the annual drought, the northwest can’t produce much food … but Nuoda Northwest has a lot of minerals … taking these provinces in the northwest is good for our butch army …"
An officialdom operator knows very well that not grasping his own points is the decisive factor for his being able to live and die in officialdom.
Facing the analysis of Wei Zheng, the tiger and leopard military intelligence header Luo raises a gender and just listens without saying a word.
Luo raises a gender and abides by the points, but the chief of staff didn’t come to the front to sign, and he didn’t intend to let go of this strategist with a certain political mind …
A pair of eyes full of clever stare directly at Locke raises a gender and sinks …
"Locke teachers northwest situation you are the most understanding … what do you think the king should do to reduce the northwest loss to a minimum and get the maximum benefit …"
"This ….." Locke raises a gender although very don’t want to speak.
But WeiZheng cross-examine still have to answer "report I think we and mutinous soldiers northwest strength contrast … at the beginning of the battle we will have lost …"
"The mutinous soldiers are a group of Uzbeks, but after all, there are so many people and many loyalists stationed in the northwest court directly … There should be many capable people and elites among the 150,000 mutinous soldiers, otherwise they wouldn’t let the riot sweep through the three provinces in such a short time …"
"For this riot, I thought of a riot in history, that is, the Yellow turban insurrectionary uprising at the beginning of the Three Kingdoms …"
Weizheng first frowned, then nodded, and finally said …
"Go on …"
Locke raises a gender at this time also have nothing to hesitate continued …
"Anyway, Uzbuhub is Uzbuhub after all … even if there are so few talented people without strong military strength in logistics support … in case of real elite, they will suffer more losses than direct defeat …"
"It seems to me that the whole game has three stages …"
"Without meeting our army’s northwest musket division, towns with only a small number of garrison troops will be contributed by them in a short time in the face of mutinous attacks … and this is the first stage of the whole war …"
"But when they touch three muskets to defend the county seat, this overwhelming victory will end …"
"One-sided battlefield situation will also fall into a stalemate … After all, the fighting capacity of three musket regiments is not vegetarian, and the wall helps us. A musket regiment can block ten times more than twenty times, and only equipped with cold weapons, there is not much fighting capacity …"
"And this is the second stage of the game …"
"In the third stage of the game is our overwhelming counterattack after the arrival of reinforcements …"
"Three stages are indispensable. This is my analysis of the northwest war situation, right? Please ask your report for advice …"
In the face of this answer, Wei Zheng’s face directly showed a look of sitting up and taking notice of Wei Zheng, because her answer directly reminded him of a great man in later generations … "
Chapter six hundred and ninety-seven Ambitious
The three stages of Luo’s cultivation are almost the same as the protracted war of later great men.
Wei Zheng gave a very positive answer without thinking …
At this time, Kelly Y Zhou, the chief of staff, Sun Chengzong’s strategist, has gathered in front of him.
At this moment, Wei Zheng needs to discuss and make a decision, that is, which army to send to reinforce the northwest, so that the first stage can withstand the second stage and the loss can be minimized …
Although Kelly Y Zhou, a military adviser, is not from a military background, he has been exposed to Wei Zheng for a long time, which has cultivated his keen sense of smell and crisis.
After reading the information, Kelly Y Zhou was keenly aware that Jin and his party had to face a new war just after the end.
Since there is a war, the tiger and leopard army will send troops … and which main force will be dispatched is a very elegant problem.
The fighting capacity of Tiger and Leopard Army far exceeds that of the surrounding troops. Fighting means victory, victory means meritorious military service, and meritorious military service means promotion and promotion …
A soldier, no matter who he is, is eager for fighting, military achievements and promotion.
Once Wei Zheng released the news that he was going to send troops to fight, several commanders would fight to the death for it, hoping to get this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to send troops from Wei Zheng.
Of course, in the face of this news, Zhou Yuanxin is also active again
The fifth army of the Tiger and Leopard Army, which has a large number of its own forces, has won many battles and brought back a large number of seizures.
However, there are not many achievements in this military operation.
The reason is very simple. After the fifth army sent troops, the main enemy of Jin was not the Tatar fighters, but the ordinary herdsmen in the latter Jin Dynasty.
