Chapter 1769 Whimsical?
Chapter 1767: Whimsical?
When he was in the Central Plains, Wang Mang was beaten by Qin Hao all the way. He was so beaten that he was almost autistic and almost lost his self-confidence.
It wasn’t until he entered Sanhan that Wang Mang regained his confidence.
After being defeated by Li Jing in Qingbei, Wang Mang, Chen Qingzhi and Wu Yong, led 5,000 naval troops to escape into the Three Koreans, and then started the road to conquer the Three Koreans.
It has always been said that Sanhan is a land of barbarians, but only after coming to Sanhan in person did Wang Mang realize how backward it was.
As early as the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han army eliminated iron weapons and switched to steel weapons. However, except for a few countries such as Goguryeo, most of the armies of the three Korean countries still use iron weapons. No wonder they were pinned to the ground by the Manchus. friction.
The 5,000 navy troops under Wang Mang were from the Liangshan Navy. They could only be regarded as second-rate troops in the Central Plains, but they were already elites among the Three Koreans. The configuration of the others holding steel swords was something that most of the Three Korean armies did not have. Possessed.
Relying on his equipment advantage, Wang Mang took less than a month to annihilate three small southern countries and established a stable base in the three Koreas. However, this also caused panic in other surrounding countries.
The countries in the south were worried that Wang Mang would annex them, so they formed a coalition one after another to attack Wang Mang, an outsider.
Wang Mang wished they would take the initiative to attack them, so that he could clean them up at once and save himself the trouble of attacking them one by one.
Wang Mang hadn't even used Chen Qingzhi's trump card. He just led the army in person and beat the three-Korean coalition forces to tears, and then successively occupied the countries that attacked him.
Wang Mang is an outsider after all. Even if he forcibly occupies the territory, it will be difficult to win the hearts and minds of the people. If he wants to gain a foothold in the Three Koreas, he must get the support of the local people.
The Sanhan family oppressed the common people even more than the Central Plains family. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the common people of Sanhan were slaves.
After pondering for a long time, Wang Mang decided to follow Zhang Jiao's example and implement land reform on the Korean Peninsula.
The territory occupied by Wang Mang is about one-fifteenth of the Three Hans, which is not too small. Looking at the entire Three Hans, he is now considered a big prince.
After the news of the land reform spread, the families under Wang Mang's command indeed rebelled collectively, and Wang Mang's army showed no mercy and directly massacred all the rebellious families. In this way, money and food can be obtained to support the army, and land can be obtained to distribute to the common people.
Wang Mang wielded a butcher knife to slaughter aristocratic families, and forcibly promoted land reform in the three Koreas, winning the hearts of the people as quickly as possible. Even the people in other places were looking forward to Wang Mang, hoping that Wang Mang could rescue them from the fire and water as soon as possible.
Since then, Wang Mang has completely established a foothold in the Three Han Dynasties, and his troops have increased to 20,000.
While promoting land reform, Wang Mang also used his advantage as a time traveler to build a large number of new factories in Sanhan, such as paper mills, steel mills, brick-burning factories, weaving factories and other factories.
With both fists coming out, Wang Mang's power grew stronger and his troops increased to 30,000. This also aroused uneasiness and fear in Linguo, and they once again formed a coalition to attack Wang Mang.
Wang Mang sent Chen Qingzhi to lead 10,000 troops to fight. Under Chen Qingzhi's personal command, the 10,000 Wang troops almost defeated the opponent's 30,000 coalition troops, and finally annihilated the coalition forces with extremely low casualties.
After a great victory, Wang Mang once again mobilized his entire army, occupied the enemy country that was attacking him, and bordered the local powerful countries of the Three Koreas.
Among the local forces of the three Koreas, in addition to Goguryeo, which is the strongest, Baekje, Yubu, and Mahan are also powerful countries.
Wang Mang actually didn't care about other forces, but these four countries had to care, and Ma Han soon sent troops to invade, so Wang Mang once again led an army to fight in person.
Of course, Wang Mang also made miscalculations. He never expected that when he faced Ma Han, his rear would be attacked by Japanese pirates, and the losses in all aspects were extremely heavy.
At the same time, the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty moved southward to Youzhou, and this also gave Wang Mang hope to unify the three Koreas. "Lord, although our army can continue to expand at present, there is not enough ordnance in the treasury to arm the army. And with the current output of our craftsmen, even if the craftsmen work tirelessly to build weapons, it will not be enough." Wu Yong. Report.
Hearing this, Wang Mang couldn't help but sigh. He envied Qin Hao for having the largest arsenal in the Han Dynasty. He never had to worry about weapons and equipment, unlike when he wanted to expand his army and suffered from lack of equipment.
Wang Mang also attached great importance to the arsenal, so he came to Sanhan, the first arsenal to be built.
Although Wang Mang Arsenal has not been established for a long time, it has invested a lot of financial and material resources. However, it still only has a scale of 500 people, so it is naturally difficult to bear the burden of building weapons for tens of thousands of troops.
With insufficient weapons and equipment, it was naturally impossible to expand the army. And if Wang Mang wanted to unify the three Koreas, army expansion was inevitable.
This opportunity cannot be missed, and time waits for no one.
Therefore, Wang Mang had to obtain enough weapons and equipment in a short time.
“Where are we going to get the equipment?”
Wang Mang was thinking about the possibility of obtaining equipment from various major forces.
It is definitely impossible for the Northern Han Dynasty. After all, he made Liu Che miserable. Now Liu Che probably wants to eat him alive.
Zhu Ming? Cao Wei? Zhao Song? Sun Wu?
All have certain possibilities, but failure is more likely.
Suddenly, an astonishing idea appeared in Wang Mang's mind, and then a strange smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Maybe we can ask Qin Hao for equipment this time."
“Ask Qin Hao for equipment?”
Wu Yong and Chen Qingzhi both stared wide-eyed, stunned by Wang Mang's idea.
Will Qin Hao give them equipment? How is this possible? It’s too whimsical.
Seeing Wu Yong and Chen Qingzhi’s expressions of disbelief, Wang Mang smiled nonchalantly and asked, "Who least wants to see our army unify the three Koreas?"
“Of course the three Korean countries, as well as the Manchu Qing Dynasty.” Chen Qingzhi replied.
“Then if our army unifies the three Koreas, which side will pose the greatest threat to its strength?”
"I'm afraid this is the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. After all, the three Koreas are behind the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, and the Manchu and Qing Dynasties have paid a huge price to occupy the three Koreas. If our army picks the peaches, Nurhachi will definitely not give up." Wu Yong said.
Hearing this, Wang Mang laughed: "The Manchus are now the great enemy of the Qin army. If Qin Hao wants to occupy Youzhou, he must defeat the Manchus. And even if Qin Hao occupies Youzhou, he will definitely fight with the Manchus in the future. There are constant conflicts between the Qing Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, so Qin Hao is definitely more willing to let me unify the three Koreas than the Manchu Qing Dynasty. "
Wu Yong's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, if we unify the three Koreas, we will become the thorn in the back of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, and will also contain some of the Manchu Qing troops, which is equivalent to helping Qin Hao share the pressure."
Chen Qingzhi also looked surprised, but still thought it was impossible. After all, they and Qin Hao were mortal enemies.
