From Soldier To Emperor

Richard did not agree with Genevieve’s peerless poisonous scheme, but it was not prompted by human sympathy. The most critical reason was profit.

Richard does not want to give up the population resources of the East Asian continent!

The northeastern region of the Jurchen Golden Kingdom is still a barbarian land that has not been developed much in this era. Most Jurchens still stay in the tribal system of fishing and hunting. If it were not for the rule of the Tang Dynasty, they would not even know what is called a farming civilization. '.

The population of the Land of Three Hans is quite large, but because it is located in the frontier, it has not been taken seriously by the Tang Dynasty. The promotion of Han culture is very weak. Although it was nominally the ruler of the Land of Three Hans during the peak of the Tang Dynasty, In fact, the tribal leaders in the land of the Three Hans feared the power of the Tang Dynasty and depended on the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

Similar to one dominion, paying taxes to Datang on a regular basis.

Because of the weak force of the Three Hans, Datang naturally did not control the garrison. After all, the garrison was a lot of money...

As a result, the Chinese culture of the Land of Three Koreas has not been widely popularized and circulated. The people and leaders of the Land of Three Koreas still maintain their own unique national culture, especially in terms of language!

Because of this, after the Anlu Mountain rebellion, the Land of Three Hans, which had lost the military deterrence of the Tang Dynasty, immediately broke away from the rule of the Tang Dynasty and took refuge in the powerful Anlu Mountain at that time, continuing to live an independent and happy life.

If you really want to control the land of the Three Hans, you must send an army to sweep the mess, integrate those messy three Korean sticks, and then force the popularization of Han culture, and then immigrate to the real Han people, and spend a few generations of time to slowly merge... …

Otherwise, we must use the current way of Jurchen Golden State, simply and neatly enter, and then turn the people of the Three Hans into the coating slaves of the Jurchen Banner!

Therefore, the land of the Three Hans does not have much interest in the rule of Richard, however, the land of Yanyun and the land of the Central Plains that have been developed and mature are a piece of fat in the eyes of Richard!

With its relatively sparse population, the incompletely-developed Yanyun Land has armed with more than 100,000 new troops, continuously filling up the consumption of meat grinders in the northern line of defense, and even the remaining population continues to recruit troops to supplement the consumption of new troops. !

If it is the densely populated land of Yanyun and the land of the Central Plains, as long as there is money and food, it is not difficult to arm an army of millions!

In fact, during the peak period of the Tang Dynasty, the total number of registered soldiers, regular field troops, local county soldiers patrol camps, etc., can reach 2 million!

In the war between Anlu Mountain and the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers of the regular army alone consumed hundreds of thousands!

This refers to the soldiers who died in battle. There are also a large number of soldiers from the Tang Army who were defeated or collected by Anlu Mountain for other reasons!

During the peak period of Yan State in Anlu Mountain before the green-skinned orcs went south, there were a total of nearly one million troops. In addition to 200,000 core elites, there were nearly 800,000 local garrison troops and civic regiment Xiangyong. Auxiliary soldiers.

The Yan State of this scale and strength naturally pressed Tang Guo to beat...

However, in the end it was weakened by the green-skinned orcs going south to become a ‘sick man’!

Just from the number of troops in Anlu Mountain and Datang, we can see how rich the population resources of Yanyun Land and Central Plains are.

In contrast, the southern provinces, although the land is fertile, but because the development time is too short, the population is not as good as that of the Central Plains and Yanyun.

If he can smoothly annex the Central Plains and the land of Yanyun, Richard will have enough population resources to arm an army of hundreds of thousands, and he will be fully qualified to fight the attrition war with the green-skinned orcs going south!

After all, Richard has gold fingers. When the hundreds of thousands of human troops are exhausted, it is estimated that the Undead Army will be able to make up one hundred thousand elites. No matter how strong the fertility of the green-skinned orcs is, it can still be better than Richard's gold fingers. Is it?

This is the fundamental reason why Richard is unwilling to let the green-skinned orcs go south and sweep all the way!

However, wanting to annex the Central Plains and the land of Yanyun is not so easy to say. On the surface, Yan Kingdom is weaker than Tang due to internal and external troubles, but Yan Kingdom is now a big pit, and it will be even more difficult to defeat Anlu Mountain. In the face of the green-skinned orcs and the Eighteenth Route anti-thief going south, the Jurchen Kingdom in the northeast will not be able to live in peace...

If you want to establish rule in the land of Yanyun, it would be more convenient to fight Tang directly!

It’s just that it’s very difficult for the Ming country to fight Tang. Today’s Tang is full of landlord martial artists and local cliques. These rich people have become class enemies with Richard. Exhausting his wealth and desperately trying his life, Richard is not unable to win, but can't afford it!

Just as Genevieve said, one by one the city walled over, and one by one landlord regiment practiced and pushed over. How many soldiers did Richard have enough to fill?

The two-headed giant Jack is Niubi, but there is only one in the end. Tang's landlord armed group training and local sect private soldiers can bloom everywhere, and even bolder can even penetrate the Ming land to burst Richard's "partial" area!

At that time ~www.wuxiahere.com~ Unless Richard can use more troops to build a huge and continuous rear defense line, even the territory that Mingguo has swallowed will fall into chaos!

Therefore, a protracted war is not suitable for Richard. Richard must conquer Tang in a short period of time and force him to surrender the whole country in order to swallow the entire Central Plains.

As long as the Chang'an court surrenders and becomes Richard’s vanguard of rebellion, those landlord armed regiments and local sect private soldiers will lose their backbone. At the same time their morale drops sharply, they will be scattered into the sand without the leader of the court, and they can be dealt with easily. Much easier.

The landlord armed regiments led by the Tang court and the local sect private soldiers can bloom everywhere and fight on multiple lines. Without the leadership of the Tang court, they can only be regarded as mobs scattered all over!

Richard knew only one way to make Tang State surrender unconditionally. To capture Chang'an City, it would be better to catch the Emperor of Tang State. Then it would be easy to operate.

But this is not absolutely successful. In case the emperor of Chang'an City ran away ahead of time, or the Tang court resolutely resisted the Ming to the end, re-find the royal blood of the Li family to rebuild a small court, and continue to lead the landlord armed group training and the local clan against Ming, Richard basically pushed the whole territory of Tang Dynasty with all his force!

At that time, Richard might only have to choose Genevieve's path...

Since Yan Yun and Zhongyuan’s fat can’t be swallowed in their stomachs, they can only destroy it personally. Otherwise, Ming Guo, who has become the target of public criticism, will exhaust its national strength in a long war of attrition, even if Richard has gold fingers. Self-protection!

Therefore, Richard's attack on Chang'an City can be regarded as a gamble. If Tang Guo surrenders to Chang'an City, he will set the Ding Zhongyuan. At that time, whether it is going north and south, Richard can become the lord of East Asia!
