Ji Chang, who was evaluated as old-fashioned, was worried about looking at the papers just sent from the general's house.
These documents are about the damage of the Han Empire overseas, including a large number of Han people detained by various countries, otherwise the general's military office would not be sent to Zhongshu province.
The Han people have developed too fast in recent years, and they have set foot on the land of Europa.
A large number of businessmen or people who like to travel. They are in a foreign country.
This time, the Persians and Romans took the lead in setting up an anti Han axis and pulled a large group of countries into the so-called anti Han axis. The war broke out too suddenly. Countries took action against their own Han people quickly or slowly, and a large number of Han people fell into the hands of countries.
Similarly, after the outbreak of the war, the Han Empire also began to catch people against the Han axis. A large number of people were caught. Even the dignitaries of various countries who went to sea were caught back, including Julian and keshias, two royal members of Rome and Sassanian.
In the seventh month after the war broke out, the army of the Han Empire had reached less than 200 miles from the Sassanian border. Hunit was the first to pay the price of destroying the country for the war.
"Mobilization is not only in the Guannei and northwest." Sang Yu said sadly, "Shandong and the southeast have also begun to mobilize."
Those places are probably the former Guanzhong Zhili, Liangzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou and Yangzhou. Among them, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Guanzhong and Yangzhou are densely populated. After the mobilization order was issued, although only young people who have been recruited for military service in counties and counties and their youth is limited to 20 to 30 years old, they can still mobilize at least 500000 troops within a year.
"We should prepare a large number of military uniforms in spring, summer, autumn and winter, as well as exaggerated bedding and daily necessities, and supporting equipment..." Ji Chang said a little distressed: "there is no shortage of state funds, but... There is a shortage of manpower."
Now the Han people are in a state of agitation. They already know that dozens of countries or tribes have formed an alliance, shouted the slogan of destroying the Han Empire and launched a war.
Han people aged about 20 or above basically have a history of how long they have been upright again after that dark period of time. Most people just live a safe life and haven't even tasted the good life of wealth.
The government has just announced that it will focus on restoring people's livelihood, start major projects to provide jobs, and increase the management, supervision and reform of workshops and factories to ensure the treatment of workers. As a result, what anti Han axis has emerged?!
Before that, the government decided to castrate the slaves. Many people were still depressed about how to castrate the slaves. Once the slaves were castrated for a long time, they could not work, and then the slaves could no longer have children.
To be honest, even if the government offered generous compensation, more than 70% of the slaves opposed slave castration.
The result was good. First, there was a large-scale riots among slaves, and then there was the anti Han axis. Two consecutive events have proved that there should be no other race in the world!
The military is naturally happy with the excitement of the people. They love and desire war, but they also know that they can't disgust the people.
Under this general trend, civilian officials, no matter how unwilling they are, should also focus on winning the war, which is too bad.
"When a large number of young people enter the army, there is bound to be a shortage of civilian labor." Ji Chang sighed sadly, and then went on to say: "the big man has been encouraging more births and more children. Every family has babies or children, so there is an auxiliary strategy. The men in the family leave home to serve, leaving only women to take care of both elders and children. How to maintain production?"
Jichang didn't mention slaves. Castration of slaves has been carried out everywhere. It starts with official slaves. Once the official slaves are castrated, it's time for the slaves owned by the people to be castrated.
When the slaves were castrated, they would inevitably lose their ability to work. At the same time, they were destined not to receive meticulous care. Some would die during castration, and some would die if they lacked a good environment to heal their wounds.
After the slave riots, the remaining slaves, including officials and people, are about 8 million. According to some relevant estimates, once complete castration, there may be only 6 million left.
Just castration will kill one or two million people? This is not an exaggeration at all. It is mainly due to the lack of experienced hands proficient in castration, the failure in disinfection, the cultivation environment behind the injured and food problems.
"Increase the capture of slaves in the black continent..." Sang Yu opened his mouth and said, "if the coastline is gone, it will go deep. There are many blacks in that continent, and millions of blacks should be captured."
In the past, Ji Chang was very disgusted with the wanton use of slaves, only because of the insufficient number of Han people, and that it was very inappropriate to use Han people in some dangerous projects.
If the use of alien slaves with yellow skin can make Ji Chang feel that it does not hinder his vision, with the rapid increase of white skin slaves and black skin slaves, he began to have his own actions, that is, where there is danger, he mobilized the slaves of white skin system and black skin system to express his attitude in the way of reducing the number of these two skins.
"Two Aiqing?" Liu Yan walked into the pavilion and saw Ji Chang and sang Yu silent and absent-minded: "is there such elegance today?"
This is a scenic spot on the edge of the Qinling Mountains. It is said that the first emperor built a palace here long ago, but it was destroyed by the war.
Since the first emperor can choose to build the palace, the scenery must be good.
Now Chang'an has a population of more than 1.2 million. Various facilities in the city are built almost by relying on a large number of slaves. The planning and construction of roads are fully completed, and the construction of the periphery has begun.
City people always need a place to go outing outside the city. Generally, they are in the suburbs of the city. They like to climb mountains and wade in the spirit of Zhuxia. Their location was originally to build a mountain park, but it was temporarily changed into a military camp.
The second firearm division of the Han Empire and the first firearm division with official serial number will be fully equipped here and be familiar with the operation of firearms.
Ji Chang and sang Yu saw Liu Yan appear, stood up and saluted, saying, "your majesty!"
"Have you no idea about the war?" That's Liu Yan's understanding. Otherwise, what are they doing here? He went over and sat down on the stone chair and said, "I have just received a report from Li Kuang. More than 300000 enemy troops in the pengchi River have disintegrated."
"Congratulations, your majesty!"
Ji Chang and sang Yu both showed great joy. In their estimation, that war would take a year or two or even longer. I really didn't think it would come to fruition so soon.
"The anxidu palace guard array killed more than 100000 and captured 120000. Rome and sassanne invaded the East, and only more than 3000 Persians recovered their country." Cai you said happily, glanced at Liu Yan and added: "Your Highness Shen also made great achievements in this battle, understood the Roman conspiracy and personally supervised the subordinates to deal with it properly. Li Duhu greatly appreciated your highness Shen."
"Don't put gold on his face." Liu Yan said that, but the expression on his face was very gratified: "I'm very happy that an 11-year-old boy can do his job well."
“……”
As ministers, they were very happy to see Liu Yan, but they didn't think so. They wondered whether they should be silent or flatter?
"Liu Shen is already on his way back to Chang'an." Liu Yan looked at an army that was practicing four section shooting. His eyes stayed on Liu Ming, the eldest son of Shu: "I let one son go to the battlefield, and the second son will join the army."
"Your Majesty is Ming Jun!" Sang Yu finished with respect and admiration, but then hesitated: "just... Your highness Ming..."
"He is also my son." Liu Yan looked at sang Yu and said, "as the prince, he should have made achievements for the great man."
The three ministers fell silent. In fact, they did not agree with Liu Yan's arrangement for Liu Ming to enter the army, and clearly expressed their opposition several times.
The reason why they will oppose is quite simple. Liu Yan's letting Liu Shen go to the army can be said to be experience, but also to make Liu Shen win the favor of the military, which has the meaning of letting Liu Shen establish his own team.
Liu Yan's behavior was seen by the ministers as a signal to release and train Liu Shen as the prince, but even Liu Ming was arranged to enter the army as a soldier, which made them a little confused.
"Holy." Ji Chang's title is different from his majesty. It is a title for the patriarch: "the minister is still opposed to Emperor Ming's entry into the army."
"I know your concerns." Liu Yan really knows that he is just worried that Liu Ming will have his own team. He thinks it is the way to take chaos. He still said: "since ancient times, there has been a system of enfeoffment in various Xia dynasties. Ministers and princes have enfeoffed cities and countries, as well as princes and kings. I have laid such a mountain and rewarded the merits of all kings. As long as the princes are not too absurd, they will have their own enfeoffments in the future."
Once again, there was nothing to say.
They did get a good reward. Everyone has his own state, and he has such treatment. Do you want to oppose Liu Yan's granting a state to his children?
"I don't want some heirs who are longer than the deep palace to master the enfeoffment." Liu Yan expressed his clear view for the first time: "if they are enfeoffed far away, they should have the ability to resist foreign races and even continue to expand. How can they not be cultivated?"
Sang Yu hesitated again and again, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty should make an early decision on the candidate for the crown prince."
Ji Chang and Cai you turn their heads elsewhere. They know that it is sang Yu's one-man play and they should not participate in it.
Sang Shimao, she has only one daughter now. Without a son, she has no qualification to compete for the crown prince.
Sang Yu now asks Liu Yan to set up the crown prince. The most advantageous must be Liu Shen. Liu Ming, who is arranged to enter the army, is only a trace even if there is a threat. It's tantamount to his saying that sang's not involved.
Liu Yan now has seven sons. Except that Liu Shen was born to empress Cui Wan, the rest are low-grade concubines in the harem. All the four concubines under the empress are born daughters.
In the whole court, I don't know whether to lament Liu Shen's good life, or wonder that the rest of the dignitaries are unhappy. If there really should be a clear prince in the Han Empire, there is really no more suitable candidate than Liu Shen now.
"I will consider it." Liu Yan stared at sang Yu for about two minutes before he spoke, and then changed the topic: "the war of invading Sasan will officially begin in the autumn of next year. In addition to several senior generals, a suitable civil minister is needed. I decided to let sang Qing go."
Sang Yu knew that this was a reward for his attitude. He showed a happy expression and promised: "I won't disappoint your majesty!"
In the Han Empire, even if the status is high and the title is prominent, it is very empty without enough military support.
Many senior officials and xianjue, in fact, take credit for the dragon's work, and then the rear support, stability and internal support for the front war. They may not have real military skills, especially those obtained on the battlefield.
Sang Yu is one of those who have never been to the battlefield to obtain military merit. He has been looking forward to making up for this deficiency one day, but he has not had a chance for so many years. He has now, but he may not be very happy.
"The minister ordered the six departments to be in charge..." Ji Chang hesitated and said: "the Duke of Pingxiang went to the front..., the six departments..."
Sang Yu immediately looked at Ji Chang. His face was very smelly.
"I am in charge of it myself." Liu Yan is to let sang Yu go to the front line. As long as there are achievements that can be taken, he will call back, which is pure gold plating. He smiled heartily and went on to say, "if the big man didn't destroy those enemy countries, how can he be stable? The big man in the future will focus on military affairs."
That's a fact. It doesn't have to destroy all the countries of the anti Han axis, but the Persian sassanne on the world island closest to the Han Empire must be destroyed.
Ji Chang frowned deeper. He really felt that he would come whenever he was afraid. He just hoped that the whole country would not fall into military control again, otherwise the people's livelihood environment would become worse and worse, and the country would not look like a normal country.
"I've been thinking about......" Liu Yan looked at the three people, and finally stopped his eyes on Ji Chang: "whether to establish a wartime cabinet."
Sang Yu opened his mouth and said nothing behind him.
Cai you knows this. He also gave some suggestions.
The Han Empire has just changed from the system of three gongs and nine Qing to the system of three provinces and six ministries. Compared with the system of three officials and nine ministers, the functions and powers of the system of three provinces and six ministries are decentralized, mainly for the consideration of imperial power.
In a peaceful state, if the powers are scattered and the efficiency is slow, it is actually a good rather than a bad thing for a big country.
If we enter a state of war, we can no longer procrastinate. It should be the state machine running at full speed to do everything well at the fastest speed.
"Your Majesty." Ji Chang heard the news for the first time and said, "minister... Minister..." he objected, but he didn't dare to open that mouth.
