Chapter 1846 Information Explosion
Chapter 1844: Information Explosion
The Qin army has the Tiangong treasure and has occupied Jizhou and Qingbei. Will it still be short of money?
The answer is: missing.
Although there is a lot of wealth in Tiangong's treasure, it cannot withstand the rapid development of the Qin army. There are many places where money needs to be spent, and the military expenditure is an astronomical figure.
The wealth in Tiangong's treasure is limited, but the consumption of the Qin army is a bottomless pit, and it is naturally consumed to a great extent.
And captured Jizhou and Qingbei, destroyed the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Liang, and destroyed many Hebei families. Naturally, the Qin army also seized a large amount of money.
However, although the Qin army captured a lot of money, the losses in the Hebei War were also huge.
The Qin army lost a total of 150,000 troops in this battle, and all of this required pensions.
The Qin army's pension was already high, and the pension for the 150,000-strong army was even more astronomical.
No matter how much money the Qin army seized in Jiqing, it was barely enough to pay the pension. But apart from the pension, the thirteen counties in Qingbei, Jizhou, had no place to spend money.
At present, the finances of Hebei and Qingdao are already in a state of being unable to make ends meet. It can be seen that before Hebei and Qingdao develop, they will have to rely on blood transfusions from their respective departments.
Selling some useless ordnance to Wang Mang at this time will undoubtedly ease the financial pressure on the two states of Hebei and Qing Dynasty.
Qin Hao had tried his best to overestimate Wang Mang's financial resources, but he still underestimated it. He thought that Wu Yong would purchase at most 20,000 troops to go back, but he did not expect that Wu Yong directly purchased 30,000, and threatened that this was only the first time. A batch of military purchases will be carried out with the Qin army for the second and third time in the future.
The ordnance captured by the Qin Army in Hebei was enough to equip an army of 400,000 people. So much Zhao and Han standard equipment was of no use to the Qin Army, because the Qin Army's standard equipment was much better and more sophisticated.
Such a huge amount of ordnance, even if Qin Hao was willing to sell it all to Wang Mang, Wang Mang's family alone would not be able to swallow it. They would have to buy at most 50,000 or 60,000 sets, but there are still more than 300,000 in the Qin Army's warehouse. Qin Hao thought of selling weapons to the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu.
Although the ordnance of Han and Zhao is not as good as that of the Qin army, it is still the best equipment in the world. It would be a pity to recast it. Selling it in exchange for money for development is the best solution.
The war between the Central Plains and Jiangdong is intensifying. The equipment forging of the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu has been unable to keep up with the consumption of the war. There is a large shortage of equipment among the newly recruited troops. At this time, they will definitely buy the equipment sold to them.
Of course, the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu were all allies of the Qin army. Selling arms to their own allies would naturally not be as expensive as selling them to Wang Mang.
Qin Hao left the military purchases of Wei, Song and Wu to his future father-in-law, Zhen Yi.
The Zhen family comes from a family of merchants, and Zhen Yi is a leader among merchants. Qin Hao believes that Zhen Yi will consider the relationship between the two countries and strive for the greatest interests for the Qin army at the same time.
Zhen Yi, who had only been the county magistrate for a month, was suddenly dismissed from office. At first, she was a little uneasy, thinking that her lord was dissatisfied with her, and was afraid that this would affect the marriage of Qin and Zhen's family. However, she did not expect that her lord had handed over the military purchase of 400,000 troops. To save yourself, this is obviously to reuse your own rhythm.
After realizing this, Zhen Yi immediately mustered up her energy and prepared to work hard in her new position to repay her lord's son-in-law for his kindness.
Wu Yong's mission was not satisfactory, but he managed to complete the mission and brought back a large amount of ordnance to Wang Mang.
On Qin Hao's side, after Wu Yong left, he immediately summoned the four military advisors Zhang Liang, Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bowen, as well as Bai Qi, Li Jing, Han Xin, Zhang Liao, etc. to hold a meeting to discuss the next strategy for Youzhou. .
From the Manchu and Qing Dynasty's preparations to mobilize troops from the three Korean front lines, Zhang Liang analyzed a lot of important information.
“At present, there are 180,000 Northern Han troops and 200,000 Manchu Eight Banners troops in Youzhou. In addition to the 70,000 Han troops surrendered by Wu Sangui and Chen Baxian, the total strength of the three parties reaches an astonishing 450,000 troops.
If the Northern Han Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty can really put aside their old differences and cooperate sincerely, relying on these 450,000 troops and Youzhou's favorable geographical location, our army will definitely have to fight a tough battle if it wants to occupy Youzhou.
But even with these 450,000 troops, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties still want to mobilize troops from the three Korean fronts. Does the Manchu and Qing Dynasty really want to fight our army to the end? Of course it's impossible, and Nurhachi wouldn't be so unwise. ” ˆ ˆ ˆ Zhang Liang’s eyes were full of wisdom, and he said confidently: “There is only one possibility for Nurhaci to still mobilize troops from the rear to Youzhou under such circumstances, and that is that the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty did not reach an alliance, and Nurhaci was in Be prepared to fight against our army alone after the defeat of the Northern Han Dynasty. "
"How can this be?"
Zhang Liao looked in disbelief and retorted: "With the current military strength of the Northern Han Dynasty, there is only a dead end to fight against the Qin Dynasty alone. How could Liu Che refuse the Manchu Qing under such circumstances?"
“If it’s anyone else, it’s hard to say, but if it’s Liu Che, it’s really possible to refuse the Manchus’ help.”
A flash of admiration flashed in Qin Hao's eyes. He looked at Han Xin and asked, "Han Xin, you have the most contact with Liu Che. Tell me about it."
)
Han Xin stood up and said in a deep voice: "Although Liu Che is Liu Yu's younger brother, he is a concubine and was born from a concubine. His status in the Liu family is not high, and his biological mother died at the hands of Wuhuan. This makes Liu Xie hated the Youzhou aliens so much that he once threatened to kill all the Wuhuan aliens.
Wuhuan was the predecessor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so for Liu Che, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had a hatred of killing his mother. Perhaps it was because of this that Liu Che would rather subjugate his country than ally with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. "
After hearing what Han Xin said, the generals looked at each other in shock. Apparently they did not expect that the Northern Han Emperor Liu Che had such a past.
Guo Jia stood up and said: "My lord, it is best if Liu Che refuses to join forces with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Our army will have no effort to deal with the Northern Han Dynasty.
Even if Liu Che and Nurhachi are in alliance, with our army's current strength, the chances of winning one against two are still very high.
It is now approaching September. If we delay it any further, the weather will become increasingly cold and unsuitable for large army operations. Therefore, our army must completely wipe out the Northern Han Dynasty before winter comes. "
"Fengxiao's words are reasonable. Now that our army has been repaired, it is time to send troops to Youzhou."
Qin Hao nodded and ordered: "Send the order, the whole army..."
Before he finished speaking, a spy suddenly came to report: "Report... to my lord, Hangu Pass has fallen, and 140,000 Tang troops are approaching the royal city."
"What?"
The generals all exclaimed, Hangu Pass is the top pass, and with Li Cunxiao in charge, how could it fall so quickly?
Qin Hao obviously didn't expect this. With a thought, he turned on the system prompt that had been closed for three days.
【Ding dong, Li Shimin...】
【Ding Dong, Li Cunxiao...】
【Ding dong, Li Yuanba...】
…
Thousands of system prompts all appeared in Qin Hao's mind at once. There were all kinds of them, and they were so dazzling that even Qin Hao couldn't see them at all.
