The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 240

[Chapter 237 Adjustment of Qin State]

?In the eyes of people from the six countries in Shandong, Qin is called the country of tigers and wolves, not only because of Qin’s aggressiveness.

What is more important is the speed with which Qin launched the war and the sufficient armaments in the treasury.

The sluggish efficiency of the Shandong Six Kingdoms, the corruption in the court, and the mobilization of the entire country’s army can only take him two or three months. In the state where the Qin State has been completely turned into a machine by the Legalists, what about his efficiency!

In a month and a half, the State of Zhao took Taiyuan County, the siege of Xinzheng in South Korea was lifted, the shattered Dong County was recklessly invaded by the 150,000 troops of the State of Wei, and the entire country of Qin State had been thoroughly mobilized.

As I said before, the original territory of the Qin State is calculated in more than 50 years. This period of time is enough for the growth of three generations, and it is also enough for the Qin State to completely transform them into a Qin State.

During this period of time, the population of Qin was 5 million, and in the next fifty years, the east and west were conquered, the south and the north fought, and nearly half of the territory was increased.

On top of these territories, although many were lost due to the war, 5 million people were added.

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

From these 5 million people, 800,000 of him had already been drawn to join the army, which was already something Qin could barely do.

But that refers to the usually more peaceful period, and now that the country is about to be destroyed, how can he care so much.

According to the custom of the Warring States Period, one family of five sent one soldier to serve as a soldier.

To 5 million people, 1 million of him can be sent to join the army. After removing the previous 800,000 people, another 200,000 people can be sent out. These 200,000 are old Qin people who can conquer and fight well. Their loyalty to the Qin state is that Don’t say it.

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

Most of the populations of the above four countries cannot be trusted, but the population obtained by destroying the Zhou Dynasty can still be trusted.

One of the most crucial reasons is whether the country has been destroyed.

The Six Kingdoms of Shandong still exist, and they have been in the Qin State’s ruled area, trying to incite the people there to revolt and return to the embrace of South Korea.

Because of these disgusting actions of the people of the Six Nations, the people in the newly occupied territories 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 Qin law, which makes the people of the six countries very uncomfortable.

However, Yingzheng, the king of Qin, excluded some distrustful people from the land in the homeland of the six kingdoms, and selected a group of people who were loyal to Qin and trustworthy to join the army.

In addition to last week’s hometown of the dynasty, the population that had completely returned to the Qin state also recruited some more troops. The two sides made do with it, but they also recruited 200,000 people.

In addition to the 200,000 troops that the Qin State can send out, the two are combined, and there are 400,000 troops that can be dispatched.

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

However, in the face of the joint efforts of all countries, Qin, which has enough frontier territory to defend, is still unable to send this amount of troops to face the attack of the six countries.

Therefore, this requires a certain strategy.

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

Taiyuan County has been lost, so the northern Yanmen County, which is isolated outside the Great Wall, has become an isolated land, and it is no longer difficult to rule.

Therefore, the King of Qin directly ordered that the frontier troops of Yanmen County and some local defenders all marched south along the Great Wall, wiped the border of Taiyuan County, and returned to Shang County.

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

As for the previous drama in Taiyuan County, where the army and the civilians colluded to fight against the Qin invaders, it would be very difficult to repeat it in Yanmen County.

In addition to the Qin army’s precautions, which will certainly not let Zhao State easily succeed, there is also the Yanmen County site, which is vast and sparsely populated. The total number of people in total is only about 200,000 people, and it is difficult to shake this Yanmen County. The total number adds up to 60,000 Qin troops.

It is better to let these Qin troops go back. He Zhao Guohao took over the entire Yanmen County without any loss, and expanded the land thousands of miles without spending a single soldier. How can there be such a good thing?

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

At this time, in Shangjun, there were 70,000 troops left behind in the local area and frontier troops.

In addition to the 60,000 people who were withdrawn from Yanmen County, he had an army of 130,000 people.

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

At the very least, with the defense of the Shangjun garrison, UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com can be attacked by the power of Zhao Guoqing, because it is a local battle, Zhao Guo can not carry out any civil strife, can support a long period of time, a few A month and a half is no problem.

The Eastern Commandery in Russia, which was being ravaged by the Wei State, and the Tao Commandery to the west of Dong Commandery were also ordered by Ying Zheng to give up, and all the remaining defenders retreated.

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

Wei’s army, under the order of King Wei, was in the Qin army’s pan, watching them coldly, and evacuated from Dongjun and Taojun. When the Qin defenders in each county were withdrawn, the Wei army would rush there. take over.

It didn’t last for too long. In half a month, that is, fifteen days, the remaining 60,000 Qin troops in the two counties were all evacuated.

The retreating Qin troops all rushed to Hanoi County, bringing the strength of Hanoi County to 100,000 at once, and the originally weak defense was stabilized.

As for the counties in other directions of Qin State, Nanyang County and Nanjun County were captured from Chu State in the south, and the two armies originally had 50,000 defenders each.

From the 400,000 troops that the King of Qin had drawn, he sent another 100,000 troops, bringing the total number of troops on the southern front to his 200,000 to fight against the 300,000 troops sent by Chu.

The remaining 30 troops, led by Wang Jian, the general of the Qin state, once again went to the territory of South Korea. This time, they planned to complete the unfinished feat of the Qin state and destroy South Korea.

The reason why they sent an army of 300,000 people and also sent the only remaining commander of the God of War in Qin is because South Korea is currently stationed with 200,000 cavalry troops, and it is also the army of the alliance.

With such a great god, Qin Guo naturally has to take care of him.
