Chapter 494;
Chapter 494: Mobilize troops to the north
After hearing Yakana's plan, the Tsar nodded repeatedly and said, "This plan is very good, but our army retreated into the central mountainous area. Where did the food come from?"
The general of the Third Route Army Group also stared at Yakana at this time.
Yakana said calmly, "You don't have to worry about this. I have made complete preparations. I considered this situation long before coming here, so I ordered the Yakar family to transport all grain warehouses in various parts of the Tsar Kingdom to the central mountainous areas for this step. Now the food transported to the mountainous areas is enough for a million troops to eat between two and three years, so you don't need to worry about the food. Moreover, I have another idea, that is, to gather more things to join us, and our current troops alone cannot stop the Liang army's attack."
When the Tsar heard this, his face was embarrassed.
Yakana saw the Tsar's thoughts and said, "If your Majesty agrees and issues a recruitment edict, I will have a way to send this edict to all parts of the Tsar Kingdom and successfully summon troops."
When the Tsar heard this, he nodded slightly, but was still a little worried. He looked at Yakana and said, "General, how many people do you think you still need to recruit to resist Liang State?"
Yakana pondered for a while and said, "It is estimated that two million troops will be needed to ensure our absolute advantage and eliminate all the invading troops of Liang State."
Hearing that he had to recruit two million people, the Tsar was stunned.
The consumption required for 1.4 million people now is already very large. If two million people are summoned, it will be 3.4 million people, plus local food and other staff transportation, the total is 3.6 million.
With so many people, the consumption required is very great. After a battle, no matter the outcome, the family wealth accumulated by the Tsar Kingdom over the years will definitely be emptied.
The Tsar now felt very regretful and did not follow Shi Ning's advice and not provoke Liang State, so that there would be no more consumption.
"General, can these two million troops be reduced? I'm afraid the finances of the Tsarist Kingdom cannot be supported."
The Tsar pondered for a long time, but finally chose to explain the truth to Yakana.
Yakana glanced at the Tsar, smiled slightly, and said, "If the Tsar's finances are not enough, the family of the Wei minister can support it, so your Majesty does not need to worry about the money, you can do it as you say."
When the Tsar heard this, he was happy. As long as he didn't use the money in the treasury, not to mention recruiting two million troops, it would be fine if he recruited five million troops.
He immediately wrote the official documents of recruitment and handed them over to Yakana.
Yakana waved to a family's children and handed the document to him, saying, "Notify the spies of the Yakar family to copy the document a thousand copies and post it in all cities in the central and western regions. In addition, send some to the eastern region and tell the people of the Tsar, and say that our Yakar family has come out to assist the Tsar and ask them to come over immediately. If someone kills a Liang soldier, the Yakar family will be rewarded. If a general of Liang can be killed, the Yakar family can fight for his official position from His Majesty the Tsar to glorify his ancestors."
The spy took the official document from Yakana, nodded and said, "Don't worry, patriarch, let's leave this matter to us."
...
Soon, the Tsar's official documents and Yakana's words spread throughout the Tsarist state.
After seeing this document, the people of the Tsarist countries located in the western and central regions immediately signed up to join the army.
People in the eastern region were hesitant when they saw this official document.
After Wu Tian occupied the eastern region, he began to vigorously develop the economy here, especially Tang Long was dispatched to build a railway from Liao to the eastern region.
Once the railway is completed, Liao and the eastern region can be fully connected, and it will be extremely simple to develop the economy in the future.
When Guan Lin saw this official document, he stepped forward and took it off, turned around and said to the local people: "Everyone, don't listen to the tsar's nonsense. If he valued you, he would not leave you and flee to the central region. Since our Liang Kingdom occupied this land, we have begun to develop our economy. You are now living and working in peace and contentment. There is really no need to start another war. This will not benefit us."
After saying that, Guan Lin dispersed the people and took official documents to see Chai Jin.
Chai Jin looked at the official document, pondered for a while and said, "It seems that the Tsar is preparing to fight his Majesty to the decisive battle. We must increase our control over here. I suggest that we send a letter to the Central Plains and ask the Grand Tutor to send a general to lead a part of the troops to garrison in Yunhai City to prevent unrest in the eastern region."
Guan Lin thought for a while and said, "Although this is good, the matter of dispatching troops still needs to be approved by His Majesty."
Chai Jin said: "This is naturally subject to your Majesty's consent. I will write a letter now and order people to send it to your Majesty where."
After saying that, Chai Jinbei wrote a letter and ordered the person to quickly deliver it to Wu Tian.
Wu Tian received Chai Jin's letter on the train, and he had already known about the official documents.
He glanced at the letter, handed it to Hua Rong beside him, and said, "Brother Hua Rong, Chai Jin wants to mobilize troops from the Central Plains to garrison Yunhaicheng in Liaodi to facilitate strengthening control over the eastern region and preventing anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to be in chaos. You are managing Liaodi, what do you think about this?"
Hua Rong took the letter and looked at it, pondered for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, Brother Chai Jin's concerns are not unreasonable. Now we have one million and seven hundred thousand people to advance westward. There is only one railway along the way. Although there are highways, many of those roads are in disrepair and it is difficult to march, let alone run food. Once there is a problem in the eastern region, it is difficult for us to withdraw troops. Moreover, we have just occupied the eastern region, and the local people have not completely surrendered to us. Now the Tsar and the Yaka family have issued such official documents again, so I suggest that for safety reasons, additional troops should be sent to station Yunhaicheng and control the eastern region with the Chai Jin brothers in the north and south."
Wu Tian thought about it and nodded.
"It seems that this is the only way. It's just that most of the troops in Liang were transferred by us, and the navy could not be mobilized. Under the leadership of Li Shilang, they resisted the sneak attacks of Japan and England at any time. So where else can we mobilize?"
Guan Sheng then continued: "Your Majesty, we mobilize the remaining troops in Jiangnan to go north, and there are still 400,000 troops in Jiangnan. If these 400,000 troops are north, and if we cooperate with the 300,000 troops we stayed in the eastern region, there will be as many as 700,000. So many soldiers can control the eastern region, and secondly, they can serve as new strategic reserves."
