The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 103

[Chapter 102 Training]

After the world was settled, another half year passed. During this half year, the entire world did not completely calm down, but became more and more turbulent.

In the past six months, the entire area north of the Yangtze River has been plowed by Zhong Yu, and countless local forces have been uprooted by himself.

Those local forces either obey their own orders. If they are powerful, they can seal him a country. If they are small, they can only obey orders obediently under their own command, and treat them as fish that have been slaughtered by themselves.

And Zhong Yu was not at all worried that what he did would arouse the anger of the nobles all over the world, because those big nobles were also doing the same thing as him.

All the powerful gentry have been sealed off by themselves in a county. In order to control the county they divided, they naturally have to concentrate all their energy and mobilize the energy of their entire clan to smooth out all the wealthy clans in that county.

Let them spit out the fat they swallowed obediently, and become ordinary local nobles who cannot shake their rule under their own control.

Instead of holding countless soldiers, the tyrants who may rebel at any time and overthrow their own rule.

Therefore, this half-year was a bloody half-year, and countless seals and flames erupted everywhere.

Even under Zhong Yu’s rule, there were gentry who took risks and rebelled, but they were pacified by Zhong Yu’s long-awaited army of 400,000 people.

Not to mention other feudal kingdoms, those with stronger strength are fine, but if they are weaker, they will only be able to tie with those within their own feudal kingdoms, or even be wiped out.

He had just acquired a country, but in a blink of an eye, he was destroyed by others and returned to Zhong Yu’s hands.

The fate of those people was that the princes who were somewhat radical, instantly sobered up a lot.

The means have also eased, the strong can naturally be crushed, and the weak most choose to coexist peacefully. The local aristocrats and their monarchs share the political rights of this site.

In a short period of time, a lot of results have been achieved, and many wealthy clans did not really want to fight their monarchs to the death or die, and then be pacified by the imperial army who had been waiting outside for a long time, and the entire clan was destroyed without leaving one.

Therefore, for a while, the politics in those vassal states was like the Spring and Autumn Period. Part of the territory was controlled by the national army, and the rest was distributed to the doctors and nobles in their country.

Although the strength of the monarch will be greatly weakened and the authority will be greatly reduced, the monarch can take advantage of its supremacy and be in a very neutral position.

When conflicts arise between several gentry in the country, the monarch can use his position as the master to reconcile the conflicts, so as to reap benefits from it and slowly eat away those gentry.

In general, after half a year, the whole world has calmed down, and the blood that has been shed and the population sacrificed in the past six months has reached tens of millions of his people.

Compared with Zhang Jiao’s Yellow Turban Uprising, it also harmed more people and caused more casualties. This proves that organized forces are more terrifying to kill civilians than unorganized forces.

But compared to the dead and wounded civilians, Zhong Yu and the princes under his command are not without gains, not to mention the local forces completely controlled by them.

The most important thing is that they went bankrupt, exhausted all national resources and national resources, and trained an elite army in this turmoil.

The million-strong army trained by Zhong Yu’s command has seen blood in this war, and the number has been reduced to 800,000, but it can be called a regular army.

However, it will take a lot of hard work before they become elites and become a capable army.

So the whole country has been settled, and then I plan to send them to the grassland.

How can you truly claim to be a powerful country if you haven’t fought against the army of the steppe nation?

How can the army be called a real strong soldier!

Throughout the long history, the forces of Qin and Zhao during the Warring States Period were the roost in the middle and late period of the Warring States Period.

It is because each of their countries has serious border problems, which are seriously eroded by the Xiongnu and Donghu.

Therefore, the army has fought many battles with those grassland peoples, and its combat effectiveness has gradually been trained.

Naturally, it is much stronger than those infantry soldiers who are in the Central Plains and have never seen the rough and rough grasslands.

The Great Han was eroded by the Huns, and after decades of counterattacks, Emperor Wu of the Han had trained a strong army to conquer the grasslands and traverse the desert.

The subsequent Sui and Tang dynasties continued to fight against them because of the powerful Turkic forces on the grasslands, thus training a strong army across East Asia and even Central Asia.

Even in the later weak Ming Dynasty, they dared to fight against Mongolia in the early stage. Zhu Yuanzhang and his son Zhu Di even took the initiative to expedite the grasslands north several times, and beat Mongolia to the ground.

This undoubtedly proves that fighting against the grasslands and winning is a clear proof that an army is strong. The history of Chinese civilization is also a history of the battle between farming civilization and nomadic civilization.

However, this time, he will not send too many soldiers and horses. Instead, he intends to divide it into several batches. On average, he will send one batch every four months, and he will send three batches a year.

Of the 800,000 newly trained soldiers and horses, in addition to leaving 200,000 to guard all parts of the Central Plains, the other 600,000 were divided into three batches of 200,000 each.

Such a round of attacks,

Even if one group loses, it will not cause the entire army to collapse.

Instead, they can rely on their superiority in numbers to continuously harass the entire nomadic nation.

Forcing them to be in their own offensive state for the whole year, they can only defend themselves passively, and they have the support of the Great Wall and strong troops and horses stationed there, so they are not worried about them taking the initiative to attack.

If they are really brainless and attack their city walls, then they will really be happy!

UU reading www.uukanshu.com Using cavalry to attack the city, are you kidding me?

After a year or even two years of harassment, the nomads have no time to graze, and all the males go to the battlefield, and the population is absolutely lost.

If they can’t support it for a few months, they will definitely be defeated, and then the entire grassland will be caught in a long-term tug-of-war.

The attack of 200,000 people could not be concentrated in one place. I planned to divide them into teams of 200,000 people, and each of them would attack as they wished.

Or they can negotiate and cooperate with each other. On the grasslands, there are very few large-scale army group wars. Most of them are fighting a battle of tens of thousands of people. Kill, and then keep pulling.

Therefore, the scale of 10,000 people is just right, enough for them to fight a battle, and to ensure their flexibility, and 10,000 troops can also be used to attack a large tribe.

The small tribe was in front of them, and they could only flee.

And the most important point is that he is not short of fighters.

There are enough talents to lead the soldiers to the desert to fight the nomads.

For example, in the Three Kingdoms, the more famous generals are Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Gan Ning, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Taishi Ci and so on.

There are also more famous monarchs, such as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan and other talents, all of whom were summoned to the Central Army by themselves.

These people belong to the army directly under their own, serve themselves directly, and use them to command those armies to fight, even if they lose, they will not lose too badly.

Well, if you win, it will be a big victory, and it will definitely cause the sparsely populated nomads to suffer heavy losses and hurt their flesh.
