The staff on duty at Tianshou Division thought that Tian Zong was here to report something, but they did not expect that he was reporting to Mr. Hou.
Although he was dissatisfied, he knew that no one in any position could interfere with Amagari Division's affairs.
But it does not mean that the Tianshou Division is above any government office or position. They are the eyes and mouth of the Marquis.
The Marquis has absolute jurisdiction over them, and it can even be said that they are weaker in terms of status.
For example, if the Marquis wants to capture General Tian, he will need a lot of evidence of his crimes. Even if they are forged, there must be evidence.
He is a high-ranking general and a county guard, so he can't win it just by taking it.
Even if Marquis Wu An can capture General Tian without a license, what will the following people think? how to think?
The Tianshou Division is different. Without evidence, the Marquis can take down any serving official of the Tianshou Division.
This is the biggest difference between Tianshousi and ordinary official and military positions.
Of course, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Yang Qian to operate like this. Even if he wants to take someone, there is a reason.
Of course, the agreement you signed when you entered Tianshou Division was a contract of betrayal, and you were not allowed to do whatever you wanted.
"Hey~~~!"
A breathless voice sounded.
"Tian Zong, I'm just taking a rest. If it's not an urgent matter, I can do it during lunch."
Tian Zong hurriedly told everything that General Gao had discussed with him, as well as their speculations.
Yang Gan was silent.
After a long time, the microphone rang.
"I understand, wait for the notification!"
Tian Zong breathed a long sigh of relief, spoke to General Gao, and then the two dispersed.
There are many things to follow.
The army attacked and plundered a large amount of wealth, cattle, sheep, and war horses, all of which had to be reported.
Also write down the combat process and report it.
Women of five to six hundred also have to be arranged.
Luoyi.
The Chinese military tent.
Since Luoyi was captured by Yang Qian.
Various garrisons began here.
The two hundred thousand troops did not just stay in one place.
For example, the original Hulao Pass area needed to be demolished. After some slaves were transferred, the army was directly stationed to guard against riots.
There must be at least tens of thousands of people stationed there.
Several waves of people were also divided to fully garrison the pass leading to here from Liao State.
After all, Luoyi used to be the territory of Liao State, and there were no internal passes. The meaning is very clear. They have passes, but you don't. If you really want to fight, you can just drive straight in.
Therefore, heavy troops must be stationed.
The remaining army of less than 100,000 men was stationed near Luoyi.
Yang Qian's Chinese army tent has almost turned into a small military camp, where people from various departments will carry out office work, handovers and other daily administrative work.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Qian didn't hesitate at all and started calling the Tianshou Department Headquarters in Qitaihuang County.
In any county, the Tianshou Division stationed there has two points, one bright and one dark.
All the precious information is in the dark spots, and the strongholds on the bright side are known to all the county guards and can be easily communicated with.
At present, there are no more than five people in the entire Yuntong County who know that there is a difference between light and dark in the Tianshousi stronghold.
"Hello, I'm Yang Gan."
"How is your Tianshou Division in Taihuang County conducting its survey on the Xiongnu population?"
said the voice on the other end of the phone.
"Master Marquis, the survey on the Xiongnu population is based on calculations made by outside staff of the Tianshou Division, spies from the Western Regions, and summed up by the information told by the Huns themselves."
"It is estimated to be around 1.1 million people, but..."
The person on the phone was silent for a moment and spoke slowly.
"Although we have reached a conclusion, there are more than a dozen foreign personnel who are still in the Xiongnu and have not returned. Based on the current number of people known and the information obtained, we can estimate and compare."
"Bizong believes that the Huns may have secretly hidden their population and wanted to trick the people of the Western Regions at a critical moment."
Yang Qian nodded clearly.
Unexpectedly, the Tianshou Division of Taihuang County has already started investigating. Yes, although the information is wrong, it is also striving to update it, which can be regarded as reflecting the initiative of the work.
After thinking for a while, Yang Gan said.
"The Huns have dominated the grassland for a long time. Except for the Eastern Huns who were destroyed by me, the Western Huns have been here for a long time."
"I'm wondering, not only did they hide their population, but did they also incorporate other grassland peoples, and even embezzle their populations? Or maybe they colluded privately, and then merged when needed in the future?"
Tianshou Si Qianshi couldn't help but breathe a little louder.
"Master Marquis, according to our investigation, there are indeed some grassland peoples who are very close to the Huns."
"In recent decades, the Huns have used marriage arrangements to marry a large number of noble women within their own tribe to the leader of the other party or the heir of the leader of the other party."
"In recent years, they have become dissatisfied with this marriage model and have allowed noble women to marry noble men from the other tribe for marriage, so the relationship is very good."
Yang Gan asked curiously, "What tribes are there?"
There was a sound of pages turning.
"Master Marquis, I have read it, based on the information obtained by our spies."
"There are countless small ethnic groups on the grassland, but there are only a few large ethnic groups. Those who have relations with the Xiongnu and are capable of arm-wrestling are the eight tribes of the Party."
"Among them, xiǎn yun has the highest frequency of marriage. It can almost be said that most of their current leaders and nobles are descendants of the Huns."
"The second is the Turks. The Turks generally live in the Western Regions and grasslands. They are very adaptable to deserts and grasslands, and their relationship with the Xiongnu is also very good."
"As for the other small tribes, there are more, but most of the small tribes live off the Huns and depend on them."
After Tianshou Si Qian of Taihuang County finished speaking, a flash of light flashed in Yang Qian's mind.
"Wait a minute, what's the population of the lynx?"
"That's not clear. The wolves are not very unified. They live in tribes. There are probably more than 20 tribes with ten thousand people. They can be considered a strong tribe."
"What about the Turks?"
"There are few Turks."
Hearing this, Yang Gan's face gradually darkened, and he already understood the Huns' plan.
I have been planning this for decades, so I even heard it in Luoyi.
"Add the number of Huns and these better tribes together, and so on, how many people will join the eight tribes of the party?"
Not long after, a voice came from the other side.
"Hou, Lord Hou, add together the people from the Xiongnu headquarters, the Xiǎn yun (xiǎn yun), the Turks, and the eight Dangxiang tribes, and the total is 2 million people."
"Gan!"
Yang Gan punched the air hard, and there was a faint sound of punching through the air.
"It means that they have at least two million people. If the Huns in the Western Regions and grasslands are included, it may reach 2.2 million or even 2.4 million people?"
"No, that's right!"
"What do your Tianshousi in Taihuang County do for food? Do they all eat dry food?"
"Are the power of one million people and the power of two million people the same concept?"
Yang Gan cursed directly into the phone.
Two million? Go crazy!
It's not that Yang Gan is afraid of the power of two million people, but errors in intelligence judgment will definitely be devastating. Once this basic error is cited as a guideline, all subsequent plans against the Huns will be just words on paper.
Even if they fight, they will definitely be tricked to death.
A population of more than two million in the Central Plains is actually nothing.
But if you calculate it based on population, it is more difficult to think carefully.
In the Central Plains region, population growth means prosperity in economic activities.
More labor means higher productivity and more consumption, which stimulates the development of commerce and handicrafts, and also promotes the rise of cities and towns.
The economic development of the Central Plains vassal states is often closely related to population growth, because population growth can provide more markets and labor resources and promote sustained economic development.
Secondly, population growth also means an increase in military power.
In this day and age, human resources are the main source of the military.
A larger population means more soldiers and more tax revenue, which is crucial to maintaining the country's security and territorial integrity.
The military strength of the Central Plains vassal states often relied on their population. Therefore, population growth was of great significance to maintaining the country's stability and security.
In addition, the population of the Central Plains dynasty also affected the social structure of the country.
A larger population means more complex social stratification and more specialized divisions of labor.
The increase in population can provide more talents and labor resources and promote the country's scientific and technological innovation and cultural development.
This was also crucial to the stability and prosperity of the Central Plains dynasty.
The nomads are completely different. Generally, the proportion of Huns' soldiers is between 25% and 30%. Of course, this is only during ordinary wars.
One million Huns can easily organize 250,000 to 300,000 cavalry, which is very terrifying.
If we recruit to the maximum, it is not impossible to get half a million cavalry.
If we calculate 28% based on 2.4 million people, then at least we can form
More than 670,000 cavalry, what a terrifying thing this is.
If there is a crisis of genocide and all the people are in arms, it is not impossible to pull out a million cavalry.
Of course, under normal circumstances, the Xiongnu would run north when they encountered someone they couldn't defeat.
The Huns were nomadic and highly mobile, which made them difficult to defeat completely.
Even if they lose in a war, they can retreat and regroup quickly, and the enemy may not be able to find their main force at all.
But the Western Xiongnu actually began to settle down on the Qilian Mountains and the Yanzhi Mountains. This was a typical behavior of planning to develop with peace of mind.
"Check~~~ Check hard for me and find out who the Huns are. I want to see what the Huns are planning to do in the Western Regions?"
"promise!"
Tianshou Si Qianshi hung up the phone very quickly, and his ears were almost deafened by the Marquis.
His face was slightly ugly. The Marquis didn't say anything just now, but he understood that if the matter was not remedied this time, Marquis Wu'an would be dissatisfied.
