The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 307 Aftermath of the War ([-])
As for Ma Long, who had been refrigerated for more than ten years because of impulsive acts of righteousness in his early years.His political IQ is very high.If Sima Yan hadn't asked him personally, he would not have taken the initiative to write a letter to His Majesty the Emperor.

During the month of repentance in the Taimiao, Sima Yan did not do nothing.In addition to his own in-depth self-examination, he also solicited opinions from front-line commanders such as Ma Long, Du Yu, Wei Guan, Chen Qian, Yang Hu, and Meng Guan with a very sincere attitude.It was precisely because of the effective synthesis of the opinions of the major frontline commanders that Sima Yan really had a clear understanding of this failure.

In the reports of these people.Ma Long and Du Yu's report obviously aroused Sima Yan's interest.

Ma Long's report was not long: Your Majesty, the battle situation in Tongguan has stabilized.The minister was unable to counterattack the newly built Huayin Pass City by the Shu thieves.But the Shu thieves could not break through the defense of the minister.At present, it is said that there are 1 troops here in Tongguan. In fact, there is no need for so many. 4 people are enough.You can take the rest back.Incidentally, the combat effectiveness of these [-] people is really bad. Your Majesty should replace the generals of the Chinese army and reorganize the Chinese army.

As for the new commander of the Chinese army, I had many long talks with Du Yuankai in Tongguan, and I admired this man's military strategy very much.It is believed that this person's talent is far above that of the minister.This is a rare and handsome talent. It was really a waste to be used as a logistics officer because of physical reasons.Therefore, although the minister is humble and humble, he is for the revival of the country and for the re-strengthening of the Chinese army.Solemnly recommend Du Yuankai to His Majesty to rebuild the Chinese army.

Because there was a counterattack against Jiang Wei in Tongguan, and the only exchange ratio that was beneficial to our side was played.Now Sima Yan loves Ma Long very much.As a result, Ma Long praised Du Yu so much in his letter.This aroused Sima Yan's interest.Then His Majesty the Emperor gave Du Yu a proposition composition: try to talk about the root cause of Yongliang's defeat.

This special report by Du Yu is very well written.

Du Yu told Sima Yan clearly.The defeat of Yongliang this time is divided into two major sections: external causes and internal causes.External factors include the strengthening of the national power of the Shu Han, climate, alien race, geographical environment, and the containment of Wu State.The internal causes include the degeneration of the Chinese army, the confusion of personnel, mistakes in the distribution of troops, and temporary factors on the battlefield.

To put it simply, there are two fundamental reasons. One is that the Shu Han is indeed much stronger than before.Second, there have been extremely serious mistakes in the country's response.In the end, Du Yu said that the defeat this time was due to both accidental and inevitable factors.But in general, chance is more than necessity: if we face up to the reality that Shu Han has become powerful from the beginning.Based on this reality, if we deploy defenses in Yongliang, this war will not be fought like this.

If this report is handed over to Guan Yi, then Guan Yi must feel that Du Wuku has fallen short of standards.But from Sima Yan's point of view, this report is very comfortable to watch.

It turns out that we were just stolen by Shu thieves, by chance.As long as our Dajin rises up, there is still hope.

It's not that Du Yu couldn't see the real problem in this war, but he couldn't explain some things clearly for the sake of superiority.

"My loves, have you all read Du Yuankai's report? What do you think?"

Before the six people could say anything, Sima Yan said decisively: "Du Yuankai is really a great talent. I hope that after the replacement of the crown prince is completed, he will be appointed as the crown prince Shao Fu Jianzhong to lead the army. While teaching the crown prince, he will It is responsible for rebuilding the Luoyang Central Army."

"Your Majesty is wise, and I have no objection." The emperor today is completely different from before.At this time, we still follow his will and don't provoke him.

"Shan, Shang Shuling, after I lost Yongliang in the Great Jin Dynasty, how many people are there in the national register? How many grain fields?"

"Qizou Your Majesty, when my Dajin was in the second year of Taishi (266 in this book), the registered population was 330 million, and the registered land was about 9000 million mu. Promote the land occupation system, etc. Before August in the fourth year of Taishi, the registered population was 300 million, and the registered land was 330 million mu. After August, Yongliang was completely lost. The population is 900 million, and the registered land is 2000 million mu. This year's income is 130 million shi grains and 200 billion yuan. Since King Qi took the lead this year, all clans and nobles responded, and did not ask the court for salary. In addition, the loss of Guanzhong Afterwards, the imperial court no longer needs to provide disaster relief there. Therefore, after this year’s autumn harvest is completely completed, even if the pensions for the soldiers who died in the war are included... there should be 40 million shi of grain and [-] billion money left in the treasury.”

Now, the state of Jin, which controls the eight states of the Kanto (Si, Yu, Yan, Xu, Qing, Bing, Ji, and You), is still the country with the strongest heritage and the strongest power.The country has a population of more than 300 million on the books, and can get more than 2000 million shi of grain and more than 100 billion in money from farmers every year.

Next is the Shu Han who took down Yongliang.At present, the registered population of Yizhou in the Shu Han exceeds 150 million. After taking Yongliang, the book directly increased by 75.It reached 220 million.Moreover, with the attributes of the public enemy of the Sima Family of Guan Da, as long as he is given enough time, it is not a problem for him to change another 60, [-] or even millions of dollars on this basis.

Finally, Soochow.Strictly speaking, at this time, Soochow had a slightly larger population than Shu Han: 230 million.But the potential of the country Soochow...

In short, among the strengths of the Three Kingdoms, Jin is still the strongest.But in any case, this strength has been greatly weakened.The state of Jin has lost the power that Cao Wei used to deal with the two countries in the south at the same time with ease.

It can be said that after the Shu Han took Yongliang, the situation of the three kingdoms was worthy of the name.

"Hey, the country has suffered such a disastrous defeat in less than five years since its founding... I really..." After sighing again, Sima Yan said to the six people below: "I thought that next time, my Great Jin must To cheer up, to cheer up, is nothing more than to enrich the country and strengthen the army. To enrich the country and strengthen the army, the most effective way is to put every ounce of strength into the hands of the country!"

Well, it's almost like directly saying that the aristocratic family has been attacked.Of course, Sima Yan is not an idiot. In the current situation of Jin's disastrous defeat, the eight states of Kanto have remained stable.Isn't it because the Kanto family hates the Shu Han who insisted on the system of the Han Dynasty?If the country treats the Kanto family bloody at this time, I am afraid that Han and Wu will not be needed to fight.I am about to collapse.

So there is another sentence below Sima Yan: "Emperor Wen created the five-class nobility system in the past to set a rule for the world's aristocratic families. What kind of nobility you are, you are entitled to how much land and tax-free population. Therefore, if a family wants to develop To grow stronger, the best way is to serve the country, be recognized by the country, and promote the title, so as to make the family business bigger. For such a family, whether it is ten thousand or one hundred thousand, I will recognize it! But for those who privately embezzle the country's people Household, a family that uses various illegal means to hide its population. I will not be polite!"

In a word, what I seal is legal.Anything I don't agree with is illegal.And I will not be stingy when it comes to rewards.All I need is your loyalty.Therefore, everyone still has to be loyal to my Sima family and Da Jin.

"I understand what your majesty means. Immediately after the minister came down, he began to formulate a new plan to check the household tax. In the first five years of Taishi (269), the minister worked hard to increase the households controlled by the state by half."

"Shan, I am very relieved that Shang Shuling is loyal to the king's affairs. But when it comes to the reign name of Taishi, I think it can be changed."

"Changing the year name is a necessity for revitalization, and the ministers have no objection. But I don't know what year name His Majesty prefers? Do you need to discuss with the ministers?"

"No need, next year, let's change to the first year of Yuan Jianwu."

"...The minister waits to obey the order."

"Well, everyone, Wei Boyu wrote to me a while ago. He said that although the state of Wu was newly defeated, it still has a lot of strength to spare. And after the Shu bandits took Yongliang, the puppet emperor of the state of Wu would not be at ease. Therefore, Bo Yu asked me if there is any possibility of contacting Wu Guo to form an alliance with him? Please discuss this matter, and decide on the person who will go to Wu Guo as soon as possible.”
