Chapter 342
Afternoon of September 29th.
Wang Jing took a group of civil and military soldiers on a building boat, and led tens of thousands of elites to pass by on Gaoyou Lake. After the Huai army's victory, the morale of the army was overwhelming, and every soldier was in high spirits.
If there are people who are good at watching Qi, they will be able to see the Huai Army's military power soaring into the sky, turning into a black dragon in the void.
The navy belongs to water, and is respected by black and black.
Therefore, the army condensed by the navy also becomes a black dragon. If it is an infantry or cavalry, the virtual form of the condensed army is usually a red tiger.
The boundary between Yangzhou and Gaoyou deserves to be a densely populated land.
When Wang Jing took the warship to see Gaoyou City, he could see the well-cultivated land on the shore in the distance, as well as the rice and vegetables growing in the fields.
The original mountain forest wilderness is full of poisonous snakes and thorns.
After two or three years of reclamation and reclamation, it has become a fertile land that can continuously provide grain and grass.
However, due to the flames of war, some fertile fields were neglected and some were abandoned.
"Yangzhou and Gaoyou, if we can win, our army will really have the foundation of the king! The countless people in this land are enough to support a dynasty in its heyday!"
Wang Jing put down the binoculars and said with some emotion.
The dynasties known as prosperous times in history, such as the Han Dynasty in the Wenjing period and the Tang Dynasty in the Zhenguan period, had a registered population of only 3000 to [-] million.
At present, there are only so many people around Yangzhou.
Such a population base is enough to support a unified dynasty in the original history.
This is only the population near Yangzhou.
The area where Zhang Shicheng and Liu Laozhi are located in Huaidong is also a densely populated area. The combined population of the two sides is several million...the number of people hiding in the mountains and wilderness is even greater.
After Wang Jing took Huaidong, he managed it carefully, and registered all the people who were hiding in Qimin, and the number of registered Dingkou could be doubled.
Nowadays, the population of the Huai army has already exceeded 500 million. Thanks to the efforts of prefects, county magistrates, and village and town officials, many people are registered every day.
Even if the Huai army did not go south, with the original land of seven prefectures, it could have a population of tens of millions over time.
Bu Zhi said: "Yangzhou is indeed prosperous, but I heard that the population in the south of the Yangtze River is more dense, especially the population near Jinling, which is more than Yangzhou. After the king takes Huaidong, he must pay attention to the princes in the south of the Yangtze River. Look, the Ming army in the south of the Yangtze River will definitely become a strong enemy of our army in the future!"
As the saying goes, look forward to Shu in Long.
Having captured Longxi, the next step is to capture Bashu... This is somewhat similar to the current situation of the Huai Army.
The land of Jianghuai is the barrier to the south.It is also an important boundary in the confrontation between the North and the South.
In the original history, Huainan and Huaibei were all battlegrounds for military strategists.
That is to say, the mainland of China is vast, and many princes have not yet expanded to a certain extent. If the princes in the Central Plains, Shandong, Jiangnan and other places fight and annex each other, forming a giant power.
Jianghuai has become the focus of competition between the Central Plains and Jiangnan.
If Wang Jing wins the land of Jianghuai and is content, the rats in the bellows will inevitably suffer from both ends.
Jianghuai is "Long", so Jiangnan is "Shu".
If Yangzhou is captured, the Huai army will naturally turn their attention to the land in the south of the Yangtze River.
The Chinese mainland and the source world have different histories.
There are enough people in the borders of the north and the south, and because of the sufficient development in the original history, the population of the south is not inferior to that of the north.
Therefore, there is no such thing as saying that the north has unified the south since ancient times.
Because Shenzhou is too vast, when Wang Jing and Bu Zhi usually chatted, they all thought that there might be a situation where several great dynasties would stand side by side in Shenzhou in the future.
The future goal of the Huai army is to sweep the southern princes and become the overlord of the south.
"The Jinling Ming army is indeed a strong enemy!"
Wang Jing calculated silently. According to his calculations, by the end of the third year of the Taichu period, the concentration of vitality in the Shenzhou Continent would be able to support creatures of the eighth to ninth order.
At that time, there will definitely be a large number of famous ministers and generals coming.Including famous monarchs in history, will also appear.
Daming, once a unified dynasty, will suddenly increase in strength and potential.
Even if the famous ministers and generals at the founding of the country did not go to defect, the loyal ministers and good generals of Ming Dynasty in history are enough to make up for the loss of the founding generals...
If you want to defeat the Ming army, you can't even say that you have to cooperate with each other...
While pondering in Wang Jing's heart.
There was a faint sound of war drums in the distance, and Wang Jing looked up, and the warship he led was already approaching Gaoyou City.
The Gaoyou City built by the Sui Army is located on the right side of the canal in the south of Gaoyou Lake. This city is somewhat similar to Baoying in the north, but it is stronger and more dangerous.
The Sui army in Gaoyou built embankments directly on the banks of the canal in the west of the city. These embankments were deliberately raised, like fortresses connected to each other.
At the entrance to the canal, a large trebuchet was built on the east side.
In the middle of the river, there are continuous iron chains.
It is very difficult for the Huai army to land and disembark.If you attack Gaoyou, you will have to risk arrows, stones and bombs, and pay heavy casualties, and even if you pay heavy casualties, you may not be able to attack the shore.
"The defense of the Sui army seems impregnable, and it is difficult to attack!"
Wang Jing saw Gaoyou's defense system with his own eyes, and felt that the general who built this defense system was Yang Shuang, King Wei of the Sui Dynasty, and he was indeed well-deserved.
With this ability to defend the city alone, it can beat most of the generals.
Bu Zhi, Fu Youde, Tang Shengzong and others beside him were either famous ministers who allowed Wen Yunwu to act, or famous generals who left their names in history, with top-notch abilities and vision.
After seeing Gaoyou's situation, they all looked a little bad.
Even Fu Youde, who is good at fighting, couldn't find the enemy's weakness for a while.
"The person who supervised the construction of Gaoyou and the defensive forts in various places was He Chou, Minister of the Ministry of Industry of the Sui Dynasty... This person is good at supervising the construction of palaces, cities, and siege equipment, and he is also known as Yu Wenkai!"
"According to the information from the Military Intelligence Department, He Chou also used spirit stones to create some powerful equipment, but the names and functions of these equipment were hidden by the Sui Army..."
Han Xizai said softly from the side.
After gaining Wang Jing's trust, Han Xizai's status as the Minister of the Ministry of War has risen a lot, and he has begun to be in charge of the information transfer between the Military Intelligence Department and the Ministry of War.
Wang Jing has only one fellow villager who has accepted Yu Wenkai's inheritance.
And Yang Guang's subordinates are master craftsmen who are also known as Yu Wenkai.
In other words, what the Huai Army Construction Division could build, the Sui Army could also build.
Equipment such as cloud carts, talisman arrows, divine arm bows, and city-breaking crossbows.
As long as it is obtained by the Sui army, it can be easily copied by the other party.
"He thick..."
"If Gaoyou and Yangzhou are breached, this person must be captured alive!"
Wang Jing said immediately.
At this time, Wang Jing suddenly had a thought, as if he had sensed something, and looked towards the Gaoyou city wall in the far distance. On the city wall, he vaguely saw a figure.
He didn't need to activate his insight talent, he could sense the aura from that figure far away.
