Chapter 828: Commander Xin, who is defending the city and clearing the countryside.
With the current state of the Han tribe, it is not particularly difficult to set up a new biological research institute. There are plenty of sites. As for personnel, it is not a problem to mobilize some people from Sinong Temple and some from the Medical College to temporarily set up a group. The rest depends on their own research.
Even if the Han tribe has a biological research institute, it is currently focusing on animal and plant and medical biotechnology. Things that are too black technology cannot be handled now, but as long as this beginning is made, maybe Luo Chong will see the birth of antibiotics in his lifetime.
However, it is still too early to think about this now. Let's first sort out the war against Takeshima.
After returning to Hanyang City, Luo Chong issued several orders again. In addition to continuing to send money to Takumi County, a large amount of civilian supplies must be sent there. These are all to stimulate the economy of Takeshima and Tang tribes. First, a large amount of money is poured into the market, and then goods are dumped, so that the local economy can be stimulated in a short period of time.
Han tribe has basically mastered Zhudao and Tang tribe, and also mastered part of grassland. Basically, they have taken over the population in the explored area. This seems to be a good thing. The population has indeed increased significantly, but it has also reduced the market for foreign trade of Han tribe.
In the past, doing business with Zhudao was called foreign trade. Han tribe could make money from them in various ways, but it will not work in the future. Without the object of foreign trade, the economy of Han tribe will be sluggish. If they want to continue to maintain good economic growth, they can only transfer exports to domestic sales and stimulate national consumption to make the economy warm up.
Although Zhudao has not yet been officially under the jurisdiction of Han tribe, Luo Chong has seen this hidden danger, so the next step is to try every means to develop civilian goods, increase national income, and let the people have extra money in their hands to promote their consumption enthusiasm.
In short, the currency must be allowed to flow, otherwise it will lose its value.
Although Luo Chong, the leader, was not on the front line of the battle, he was also very concerned about the future development of Zhudao, and those soldiers fighting on the front line encountered a problem at this time.
Although the Han army had basically wiped out the two frontline corps of the Xin tribe in the previous battle on the landing day, some of the information was leaked, or the nearby people reported the news to the Xin tribe, which led to the failure of the surprise attack tactics of the Blood Slaughter Plan.
The way the intelligence was leaked is no longer traceable, but it is now certain that the top leaders of the Xin tribe have already known the fact that the Han army landed on Zhudao and occupied half of their land.
The Xin tribe reacted quickly, or they were a little scared when they saw that their two most elite corps were completely wiped out by the Han tribe in just one day.
As for the result they were afraid of, there were only two possibilities, either they chose to run away directly to avoid fighting with the Han army, or they went all out and concentrated all their resources to fight a decisive battle with the Han tribe for life and death.
But the result was very obvious, the Han tribe would never give them a chance to escape.
Just as the three guards of Yingyangwei, Baotaowei and Xiaoqiwei entered their respective garrisons, Xuetu also sent a large number of scouts to scout the next target. According to the current position and speed, the next target of the Han army was set by Xuetu in Xianfeng County, which is the narrow coastal area just north of Zhudao. This is the sea salt industry base of the Xin tribe. Its importance is self-evident for both the Han tribe and the Xin tribe.
Xuetu wanted to seize the salt pond resources here, but the most important thing for Commander Xin now is to survive. He can no longer care about salt. He only knows that the two most powerful corps on his front line are gone. If he wants to stop the next attack of the Han tribe, he must form more troops again.
Therefore, the Xin tribe leaders took out the most scarce materials of the Yan tribe, food and livestock to recruit them, and did their best to vilify the true face of the Han army, saying that the Han army killed children, robbed women, and took slaves when they saw men. They also found some extras to play the role of civilians who escaped from the "occupied area" and cried and complained about the various "crimes" of the Han army. The
men, women, and children of the Yan tribe panicked. On the one hand, they were greatly tempted by the food and livestock given by the Xin leader, and on the other hand, they felt threatened and oppressed by the Han tribe. In the end, the entire Yan tribe reluctantly joined the Xin leader's team and voluntarily joined the Xin tribe leaders to resist the attack of the Han tribe.
According to Commander Xin, the Han tribe is coming. If we don't join hands to resist, then no one will survive. Instead of dying in disgrace, it's better for everyone to gather together and find a way to survive.
So, the deceived Yan tribe began to migrate to Commander Xin's territory. The scale and speed of the migration can be described as clearing the fields.
When the first batch of scouts sent by Xue Tu arrived in Xianfeng County, they only saw the remains of a messy village. The reason why it is called remains is that there is no one in those villages, not even a single livestock is left. Even many houses and corn stalks have been burned clean.
The villages were basically burned to a white land.
The scouts were all dumbfounded and had no idea what happened here. However, they were professional scouts after all. They soon found traces of a large group of people marching in the village. According to the direction of the traces, it was easy to know where the people in the village went, and that direction was exactly the headquarters of the Xin tribe, which was the direction of Jiahai County mentioned by the Han tribe.
Encountering such a major event, the scouts did not dare to delay at all, and quickly sent out fast horses to report all these strange sightings to the higher-ups.
When Xue Tu received this news, his first reaction was.
"Not good, these grandsons want to escape."
It's not surprising that he would make such a judgment. At this time, Xue Tu had never heard of what was called "fortifying the walls and clearing the fields", so he didn't have this idea at all. Hearing the scouts report that the whole tribe of the Yan tribe, young and old, were moving towards the direction of Jiahai County, Xue Tu's first thought was that Commander Xin and the group of Xin tribe leaders were afraid, and they wanted to gather all their people and materials to escape from Zhudao.
It was obviously a simple question where to escape from Zhudao. The Xin tribe leaders had no ships, so even if they wanted to escape, they could only cross the bridge from the mainland to the grassland.
So after judging the purpose of the Xin tribe leaders, Xue Tu immediately contacted the commander of the Fubo Guard, Shu Da, and asked them to help block the dark bridge at the northwest end of Zhudao, and must not let a single person from the Xin tribe escape to the grassland.
At the same time, this guy also asked the local garrisons of the three counties of Honghu to assist in blocking the Zhudao secret bridge. However, the troops of these three counties were not under the control of Xue Tu, so he could only ask them to prepare for the camp first, and then sent another letter to Luo Chong, asking Luo Chong to order the garrisons of the three counties of Honghu to assist him in completing the blockade of Zhudao.
However, Xue Tu was busy here, and the Xin tribe had no intention of escaping at all. Or rather, they thought about it, but because they had no ships and the grassland was actually controlled by the Han tribe, they were not sure that they could escape by landing on the mainland, so what the Xin tribe actually did was to gather all the resources in their hands and play the tactic of clearing the fields and defending the Han tribe.
This was something that Xue Tu never expected.
Xianfeng County had become a deserted, desolate wasteland. Xue Tu would not sit idle. He led the remaining four guards to the edge of Jiahai County, thinking that you didn't want this land, so he did. He did not send the Sea Wolf Guards, who were originally prepared to defend Xianfeng County, to garrison there. Instead, he joined his army.
Xianfeng County was empty, so what was the point of defending Sea Wolf County? He might as well prepare for a decisive battle with everyone.
