The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 297

[Chapter 294 The Future of Korea]

After all, the damage of the war is too great, even if it stops now, the villagers hiding in the mountains gradually come out, and the production slowly begins to recover, but the effect is not very big after all!

According to the statistics of these officials, among the eleven counties, the current population of each county, through their efforts to collect and re-edit the records, is mostly no more than three or four thousand people per county.

Moreover, among these counties, there are mostly old and weak women and children, and very few young people.

What’s more serious is that South Korea still faces a serious problem. These counties, including the Sancheon County that has just been recovered, as well as South Korea itself.

Many counties and counties were plunged into famine, the people’s households had no food surplus, and the localities were starved to death.

These countless people are all open mouth, waiting for the relief of the Korean government.

If you leave them alone and let them fend for themselves, then Korea will really exist in name only.

Even if these ordinary people are some old and weak, they are at least some population, belonging to the exploited layer and the ruled layer.

If they are gone, then South Korea will not even have the basis for rule.

The eleven counties that have been recovered have a total population of 40,000, while the original more than ten counties in South Korea have been ravaged by the Qin State and a burst of exploitation in South Korea. The population retention is not very large, and the average county seat is no more than one. Three to five thousand people.

With the dispatch of local officials again, the ruling foundation was built again, and the population statistics were restored again. It was concluded that excluding the capital, the population of 13 counties in South Korea was only 80,000.

The capital city of South Korea, because it took in some refugees, and the original population base was there, although a number of them starved to death due to war and famine.

Therefore, it still maintains the level of 250,000 people. Although it is not as good as the previous more than 300,000 people, in this world, it can barely be said to be a heroic city, which is worthy of his identity as a kingdom in Korea.

Today, South Korea’s national statistics show that there are only 370,000 people left, and it has nearly doubled its land and recovered a lot of lost land.

However, the population obtained was only 1/3 of that before the war, and the young and strong men were almost wiped out.

After the war subsided, all parts of the country, whether it was a newly recovered place or the original place, returned to stability.

In order to consolidate his authority and maintain his own rule, King Han re-recruited a new batch of recruits, but he only got more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, mostly some 14-5-year-old children and 50-60-year-old old men.

These recruits, after the end of the previous war, had more than 1,000 elite veterans left in South Korea, and rebuilt an army.

I got an ordinary army of about 25,000 people who could barely see the past.

This is the basis for the rule of South Korea today. With 25,000 people, it is obviously not enough to guard more than 20 cities in South Korea and resist the coercion of enemies from all directions.

Such a few people are enough to maintain law and order and rule.

However, South Korea is not in a desperate situation, and he still has a way out.

In the current Sanchuan County of the Qin state, there are still twelve counties remaining, all of which are all huddled within the customs, and have not been affected by the war, maintaining a complete production and economic system.

And most importantly, because Sanchuan County belongs to the old capital of the Zhou Dynasty and the homeland of South Korea, the scope of Qin Guoqiang’s conscription is not large, only a little bit.

Therefore, in the entire Sanchuan County, in the thirteen counties, except for the three Zhou Dynasty homeland military training, many young men were forcibly recruited.

In the remaining ten counties, there are a lot of young people and a large population.

In the entire Sanchuan County Pass, according to the information from the spies, after analysis by various parties, it is estimated that there are still about 300,000 to 400,000 people.

And there are a lot of young people. If you count the range of forced recruitment from the age of 14 to 50 or 60, you should be able to recruit about 100,000 soldiers and horses.

The current coalition had already repulsed the Qin State. Next, as long as the Yuguo was heading to the central battlefield and dispatched 50,000 to 60,000 people, he would be able to mobilize the army of Zhao Wei and Chu State.

At that time, there will be an army of 500,000 to 600,000 people.

The Qin state, however, could not send the same number of troops.

In the current state of the Qin state, after the collapse of the battlefield on its own side, the rear has become vaguely unstable, the barbarians in the four directions are just about to move, and the remnants of the six countries in the country also have a different mind.

The local repression also involved a part of the Qin State’s troops. Now, it is possible that even 300,000 troops are not enough to be able to actually send them to the battlefield to confront the coalition forces head-on.

Therefore, in the current situation of Qin State, Yuguo and the other two countries made some discussions, and finally decided that Qin State should not dare to fight head-on, but instead would give up Sanchuan County, fully retreat into Hangu Pass, and maintain the basic relationship between Guanzhong and Bashu. The site, dare not look in the east.

Sancheon County, which was abandoned, is the closest to South Korea.

And in the early days of the war, South Korea’s contribution was not small, and this alliance was initiated with South Korea as the starting point.

Therefore, the rest of Sanchuan County is used as compensation, UU reading www.

All uukanshu.com to South Korea should not cause much repercussions.

What’s more, today’s South Korea looks like it will be subjugated at any time, which has really aroused the vigilance of other countries.

With the current situation in the world, whether it is the Qin state, the coalition forces, or even the Qi state hiding in the rear, they will not allow one of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period to perish with them, which has been called South Korea for hundreds of years.

This is the situation, South Korea is destroyed, then their demise will have a beginning and an omen, and they are extremely afraid of this outcome.

They are afraid that they will become the next South Korea, so they resolutely attack any country that dares to destroy any of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period. For this, they can put aside all prejudices and unite.

It’s not about emotion, it’s not about hatred, it’s about life and death.

Therefore, in fact, with the current situation, even if the Royal Kingdom does not propose to support Korea, other countries will also propose that they are not like Korea perishing.

And South Korea got Sancheon County, plus some leftovers around it, it will also become a big country with nearly 50 cities and thousands of miles of land.

And the population of South Korea will also recover to more than 700,000, close to 800,000, and the soldiers and horses can also be restored to about 150,000, of which about 30,000 are elites composed of young and strong.

Although most of them are old and weak, and their combat effectiveness is not very strong, it is not bad to be used for defense and to scare others.

After all, 30,000 elite soldiers and 150,000 troops sound different. Who is more scary?

Needless to say, I understand.

Therefore, the current situation is reluctantly maintained according to this fragile balance, tacit understanding of each other.
