Chapter 2893 The Great Qin Empire
That is to say, of the 800,000-man army, only 300,000 are infantry. The problem is that the infantry also includes 90,000 archers, 30,000 artillery, 30,000 throwing soldiers, and 30,000 engineers. There are only 120,000 pure melee infantry. This ratio is simply scary.
This is just the combat troops. About 1.8 million auxiliary troops will be recruited. What is impressive is that the auxiliary troops of the Qin Dynasty are better equipped than many combat troops of other countries.
Of course, even the extremely wealthy Qin Dynasty today, any other country, including the heyday of the Zhou Dynasty, could not afford such a large-scale expeditionary army.
When Jiang Fan got the news, he couldn't help but sigh. This is the top configuration of the Qin Dynasty in terms of hardware and software. The Queen Mother named the third step plan Hurricane, which is really appropriate. Once this scale of combat power is launched, it will surely sweep the world like a hurricane.
Of course, the Queen Mother did not prepare to show them all at once, and there is a reason for this. After all, it is impossible to fight against the six countries at the same time to conquer the world. You have to fight one by one.
Then, we cannot directly expose all our strength, otherwise it will inevitably provoke other princes to unite, and then it will be difficult.
However, it is obvious that the empress did not plan a meeting and an alliance and Yuzhou soldiers and generals.
Jiang Fan naturally planned the wartime deployment during this period.
The overall governor is of course Zhang Zhiling, and the commander is Wu Qu. The military advisor team is the military staff group in Lishan, including Shangguan Wan'er, Tian Yuan, Zhou Tiedan, etc.
First of all, the Yuzhou Army will be the main combat force under his command.
The commander of the Yuzhou Army is Zhang Qiuran, the military advisor is Ding Shaoan, Mao Sui is the head of the staff group, Jincheng is the intelligence commander, Wang Shu is the scout captain, and Pei Yunjin is the logistics manager.
The main combat force includes 100,000 Yuzhou special forces, 50,000 cavalry led by Shentu Li, and 10,000 wolf cavalry as the vanguard officer Meng Yi.
The defensive force is the twelve cities led by Sun Lu plus the soldiers and horses of Jile, and now the total number exceeds 100,000.
In other words, this state with less than one million people has more than 200,000 soldiers, which is ten times more than the normal ratio. Of course, Yuzhou is too special. It is a war outpost jointly built by Qin and Jiang Fan, and it cannot be calculated by common sense.
And this does not include the Wuluehui. All the troops of the Wuluehui will be deployed as surprise troops at any time, and the overall person in charge is Wang Xuanji.
Finally, there is the Xiaoyao League. Their most important role is to fight against martial arts masters inside and outside the battlefield. The overall person in charge is Wuhen.
In general, during this period of time, Ying Jiang and the others discussed the deployment of troops in their spare time, and finally formed the current situation.
Jiang Fan knew that the last link of the last step of the second major strategy was completed, and the army would set out.
"The Imperial Court enters Yuzhou, and a hurricane comes out of Daqin."
The Empress said: "The Holy Land is watching the Imperial Court and will not let it go. I have a hunch that they must be taking some action."
Jiang Fan took a deep breath: "The Dragon Guard, the Dragon Guard, and the Hidden Dragon Army, the three guards of the Imperial Court are not vegetarians, not to mention the support of the Luxi Hanba Army and the support of the King of Zhenbei. I will arrange for Wang Xuanji to handle this matter."
The Empress nodded: "You have other things to do, and you should do it as soon as possible."
Jiang Fan pondered for a while: "So, you have to give me three months, we might as well fight for a while."
The empress smiled: "It will take two to three months for Gaoqi and his men to hold a military meeting, simulate war, and prepare the army. There is time, but during this period, you have to think about how to express it to the outside world."
Jiang Fan was confident: "Haha, it's very simple. I want to surrender to the King of Dian."
The empress laughed: "As I thought, Wuming is the most suitable person to take over my task."
"Okay, that's it. I have to leave first. I have to make arrangements with Wang Xuanji in the imperial court. I always feel that there is something wrong here."
Despite the prediction, things still happened too fast.
Three days later, Jiang Fan suddenly received an urgent report from the letter eagle, saying that a joint delegation of six countries went to Yanjing to question the emperor, and the reason was that the crown prince actually tried to seize the vassal states.
As expected, this delegation was reprimanded by the Emperor Ming, but they were unwilling to accept it and blocked the gate of Yanjing to ask for an explanation. As a result, they were slaughtered that night. Some survivors pointed out that it was the Hidden Dragon Army.
Xiahou Ke, the nearest general of Wei, was furious because of the tragic death of his own envoy. He led his 80,000 troops to Yanjing and now confronted the three guards of the imperial court.
Wow, Jiang Fan was shocked. He was so fast. He was already fast enough. He was ready to move the imperial court to Yuzhou immediately, and then the imperial court would come forward to resolve the conflict between the Ji family and the Ying family on the surface, and then send troops to Xiqin with the order of Emperor Ming.
But just as he started to act, others took the lead in making trouble.
And this secret information actually came from Feng Chen, King Jin and his brother-in-law at the same time.
What's interesting is that they didn't send an envoy at all, but it was indeed their ministers who went there. Jiang Fan reacted instantly. It must be the work of his mother Taiyue. Except for them, no one could bypass the monarch and privately dispatch ministers.
As for Xiahou Ke's dispatch of troops, Jiang Fan felt that there were some problems. No matter how stupid the King of Wei was, he would not do such a thing. Wouldn't it be obvious that he would be criticized for doing so at the critical moment of the Wei-Jin War?
So who could have ordered Xiahou Ke? What was his purpose?
Jiang Fan quickly realized that no matter who it was, he was definitely not the one who actually did it, because he didn't dare to kill Emperor Ming, and he only had to deal with the three guards of the imperial court, so there must be someone behind it.
Last time it was the Dark Army, this time... who could it be?
No matter who it was, it was destined to be in vain, after all, the evacuation of the imperial court had already been properly arranged.
It's just that this battle must be fought. If it's not fought, the truth can't be understood. Is this important? Perhaps it's not important. The emperor can leave as long as he comes to Yuzhou to deal with the conflict between Yingjiang and Renjiang.
But Jiang Fan knows that no matter how he acts, the other party will definitely take action, and this time is different from the last time. His intuition tells him that there is a strong killing intention. They want to assassinate the emperor and kill the driver!
There must be a hand behind the scenes, and this person seems to have a deeper purpose. So Jiang Fan decided to fight this battle to see who will surface.
But this time, he doesn't need to go there in person, the other party is destined to be in vain. Not only because of the early precautions, the three guards of the imperial court plus the Luxi Zhenbei Army are enough to protect the imperial court. And it's enough to protect the important figures of the imperial court. As for the Ming emperor... he left long ago. Yes, when he was fighting a war of words with Taiyue, the Ming emperor had quietly slipped away, and now he has joined the Heping Sect in Baicheng.
As for the one in Yanjing, he is actually a little immortal. He was from the same school as Emperor Ming, had the same martial arts and transformation abilities, and with the fox mask Jiang Fan sent, no one could tell that this was not His Majesty.
The only problem was his personality, so, taking advantage of Taiyue's criticism, Emperor Ming lived in seclusion, leaving all matters, big and small, to the Grand Master, Grand Secretary, and Grand Tutor. He seemed to avoid the limelight and rarely showed up. Ministers only occasionally saw him practicing in the back garden accompanied by his personal eunuch. In this way, basically no one could tell the truth from the false.
Jiang Fan sorted out all his speculations and ideas and sent someone to deliver them to Wang Xuanji. The affairs of the imperial court were fully entrusted to him to handle. This wild prime minister of the Great Zhou, once revered as the leader of the Hundred Schools of Thought, was not a pushover.
