Yunzhou County, Prince Yun's Mansion.
Today is the day when the latest military report from the Expeditionary Force comes back.
Not only Zhao Jun, King Yun, but also senior officials from the county governor's office and leaders of large tribes with more than 5,000 troops were gathered here, waiting for the latest military report.
Early in the morning, a large group of people from Wuyangyang entered Prince Yun's Mansion. Fortunately, Prince Yun's Mansion was big enough, so they were able to find a place where so many people could fit in.
Since a large number of people would often gather in Prince Yun's Mansion after the war began, and they could not wait in the living room every time, Zhao Jun simply ordered people to build a meeting place in Prince Yun's Mansion.
The conference room is very large, covering an area of one acre, and can accommodate hundreds of people sitting at the same time.
Due to the wide space, in order to allow people sitting in the back to hear the speeches in the front row, this conference room was also transformed according to the Changyin Pavilion in the palace.
The entire conference room is built with a ring-shaped structure. At the beginning of the construction, a layer was hollowed out underground. Wooden boards were used as isolation between the underground layer and the upper floor. Only one exit was left to form a relatively closed space underground.
Immediately afterwards, an underground well will be built in the center and four corners of the underground layer. The middle one will be built as a water well, and the remaining four are hollow earthen wells.
These four hollow earth wells form the "sound" of the conference room, which can resonate and create a resonance effect.
The water well in the middle cooperates with the special caisson structure built on the top of the ground conference room, which is the upward recess in the center of the ceiling of the conference room, to produce a reverberation effect, which makes the sound in the conference room collect and reflect out. It can also make the sound clearer.
Coupled with the exclusive iron speakers on each seat, as long as you are in this conference room, no matter where you are, every word you say will be clearly heard by the entire conference room.
Early this morning, officials from the Yunzhou County Government Office came to Prince Yun's Mansion early, entered the conference room and sat in the front row.
The leaders of the major tribes in Yunzhou County entered next, talking quietly to each other and sitting in the middle.
Finally, the major merchants in Yunzhou County who were responsible for supplying various materials and logistics for this expedition also came in one after another and sat at the back of the conference room.
On the high platform at the front of the conference room, there are three positions.
The seat in the middle is naturally that of King Yun Zhao Jun, the seat on the right is that of County Governor Li Yi, and the seat on the left is that of Ding Hongguang, the commander-in-chief of the guard army.
These three positions respectively represent the highest power structure of Yunzhou County. Zhao Jun, the king of Yun, at the top, Li Yi, the county governor of the government and civil affairs, and Ding Hongguang, the military officer.
Time soon came to Chen hour, when King Yun Zhao Jun arrived belatedly.
County Governor Li Yi has long been sitting in his seat, while Ding Hongguang's side is vacant because people are still on the front line.
After Zhao Jun arrived and everyone was greeted, everyone took their seats, and today's meeting officially began.
There was no excessive opening remarks, and the main topic was entered directly after the presiding officer Jiang He announced the start of the meeting.
The battle report that had just arrived last night was read out by Jiang He.
"The final commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, Ding Hongguang, reported to King Yun:
It has been more than a month since our army came out of the mountains in the spring. Today, we have engaged in more than 40 major and minor battles with the enemy. In total, we have killed more than 200,000 enemy troops, occupied 70% of the enemy's province, and captured countless gold and silver. Today, reports of the entire army's success are spreading frequently. , the day before yesterday, the army fought another battle with the enemy's last remaining strength, and wiped out more than half of the enemy. After that, the enemy province no longer had large-scale military forces, and the remaining territory was in danger of being conquered.
Today, I am reporting to His Majesty King Yun to inform you that our army will launch a decisive battle in the near future. In one battle, the whole province of Nanli will be poisoned. We hope that the rear will be ready to receive it.
In addition, according to detailed reports, the governor of Shendu, Kersh, has asked for help from the capital of Shendu. It is expected that the army of the Shendu imperial court will arrive within half a year at most, and it is necessary to attack the base. King Wangyun will express our army's countermeasures.
All affairs in the army are reported to the headquarters on a disc.
February 29, the twenty-third year of Tiansheng. "
The military report is very short, and the people in the army are not so colorful. They only write down the recent events in the military report, so that everyone can understand at a glance what has happened on the front line recently.
Through this military report, everyone in the conference room could know that the army had launched another large-scale battle with the last remaining force in Nanli Province before August 9, and wiped out more than half of the enemy, completely wiping out the enemy's large-scale force. All exhausted, the remaining troops were completely unable to stop the expeditionary force.
The expeditionary force will also launch a final decisive battle against Nanli Province in the near future, taking over the entire Nanli Province in one fell swoop and incorporating it into the territory of Yunzhou County.
In addition, Ding Hongguang asked a very interesting question regarding the Nanli Governor Kershi's request for help from the Shendu King's capital, whether to resist or attack, please tell King Yun.
What does it mean?
This means that even if King Shendu sends an army, Ding Hongguang is confident that he can hold on to his current territory and even have the energy to launch an attack?
This is very interesting. There are many smart people here who quickly realized this.
Zhao Jun is naturally no exception.
Reaching out to rub his slightly stubbled chin, Zhao Jun suddenly laughed.
Is this old man so confident?
But it's a pity. With the current population of Yunzhou County, one province has reached its limit by swallowing body poison. No matter how much more it is, it will be impossible to manage.
In addition, the current population composition of Yunzhou County is also relatively dangerous. The ratio of Tatars and Song people is almost the same. In addition, the large number of poisonous natives in Nanlisheng, which was newly incorporated into the territory, is far more than that of Yunzhou County. The Song Dynasty and the Tatar people have a larger population. I don’t know how they were born. The population of a single province is nearly one million. After the war and massacre during this period, the poisonous natives in Nanli Province are still There is a huge number of about half a million.
Within Yunzhou County's sphere of influence, such a racial composition is indeed dangerous and must be alleviated as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jun looked south. The only way to quickly gain a huge Song population was within the pass.
Taking his thoughts back, Zhao Jun had already made a decision regarding Ding Hongguang's request.
Today's Yunzhou County still needs to postpone the pace of annexation, first digest the acquired Nanli Province, and then obtain enough Song people's population before it can continue to expand without future problems.
There is no need to rush, you still have time.
Therefore, Zhao Jundang issued the latest instructions to the expeditionary force at the meeting, ordering the expeditionary force to stop the pace of the Western Expedition and stick to the borders of Nanli Province. Yunzhou County entered the development stage and made every effort to digest the newly acquired Nanli Province and conquer Nanli Province as soon as possible. The province became the grain-producing center of Yunzhou County.
After completely annexing and occupying Nanli Province, the province was changed into a county, and Nanli County and Yunzhou County were established under the jurisdiction of King Yun.
The news was quickly conveyed to the front line after the meeting. The expeditionary force, which was originally in an offensive posture, immediately adjusted its layout. After quickly clearing out the official forces in Nanli Province, it quickly deployed at the junction of Nanli Province and other provinces. Fortifications were built and boundaries were established with other Shendu provinces.
As for Kersh, the former governor of Nanli Province, not long after reporting the news to the royal capital, the governor's palace was the first to be breached by the expeditionary force before receiving any news from the royal capital, and he himself was captured alive on the spot. The flag was sacrificed as a sacrifice for the expeditionary force to capture the entire province.
The head was prepared and sent back to Yunzhou County, and the news he sent to the capital of Shendu King had actually reached the capital long ago, but due to the necessary procedures, it has not yet reached the hands of King Shendu.
King Shendu still didn't know that one of the provinces under his command was gone. He thought that Nanli Province was just a small incident of savage rebellion, and it didn't take long for him to receive the good news from Kersh.
But the reality is often cruel. Due to the procrastination of the government, it will still be a long time before he receives Nanli's letter asking for help...
I believe it took me three hours to write this chapter. There was a lot of information to look up and it was so difficult.
