Luoshang is full of people, and thousands of households live in hundreds of houses.

Although strictly speaking, the current Luoyang city structure is only eighty-one buildings, the real number of people is more than ten thousand households.

In the sixth year of Qitai, I made a relatively detailed statistics. At that time, the total number of households in Luoyang was more than 47,000. This was just the households who were registered, and did not include the service force conscripted by various places, the hard labor captured on the battlefield, and the army that entered Luogong Guards.

Of course, the number is not very accurate now. In the sixth year of Qitai, Luoyang City was still not completed. At least one-third of the planned yard area is still idle or under construction.

In the second half of the seventh year of Qitai, although there was a large-scale war in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, the main mobilization was still concentrated between Qing, Yan and Xu, and it did not have much impact on the operation and development of Luoyang.

The seventh year of Qitai was another year of Taiwan's resolution. As the general visited Chang'an in the west, the full resumption of Guanzhong came to an end. Although the war in northern Shaanxi began immediately, it was mainly participated by various military prefectures. Many civil servants sent to Chang'an began to retreat to Luoyang on a large scale.

In addition, when they went to Guanzhong in the west a few years ago, they were punished for their hard labor, and after several years of hard work, they began to gradually be exempted from naturalization. The main place of residence was Luoyang.

So although the distance from the last census is not too far, the number of residents in Luoyang has increased significantly. Now, conservatively estimated that at least 60,000 residents in Luoyang City have reached 60,000.

The 60,000 households, even if they are only estimated by the most conservative family of five, the residents of Luoyang City have exceeded 300,000. Similarly, this does not include the strength of those in-service and in-army soldiers.

Compared with the population of some prosperous capitals in history, the population of Luoyang City is not very outstanding. However, the Xingtai has not yet collected all its hometowns and is far from being unified. Moreover, the formal large-scale construction was after the Qitai reign. During this period, Xingtai is still fully implementing the Western Front strategy. By now, it has left Jiankang City in Jiangdong far behind.

Luoyang was able to have such a large scale in just a few years, mainly because the general was established as the first person in the court after establishing the position of the first person in the court in the destruction of chaos, and at the same time, he also determined the idea of ​​promoting the development of regional central nodes, using these major cities as nodes to build a network to achieve the effect of enhancing the area.

Because in the past few years, not only Luoyang has developed rapidly, but also Yuhang in Jiangdong, Guangling in Huainan, Pengcheng in Huainan, Xiangyang, Jiangling, Yuzhang and other places have all made progress to varying degrees.

Concentrating manpower and material resources on regional nodes not only can greatly improve the efficiency of various resource scheduling and allocation, but more importantly, it can significantly reduce administrative management costs.

Although Xingtai has been cultivating common affairs and officials and talents in the past few years, and has cooperated with the army to return to farming and enter the village, if it spreads to all areas under its jurisdiction, it will not be able to completely replace the village's great clan.

Too much manpower and material resources are scattered in the countryside, these local tyrants still have large space for shelter. At present, Xingtai is still the military priority and does not have much energy to build a supervision system that covers the countryside. This strategy is also temporary.

In these areas where people gather, there are also provincial schools and county schools, and relevant talents are reserved. When the military pressure is relieved and the four sides are stable, it can promote the vigorous return of people to their hometowns, and use the momentum of breaking the dam to impact the remaining clan households and villages in the countryside.

However, even with the supervision of the Xingtai government orders, Luoyang City has developed to its current scale, and it has temporarily reached a critical point. It is difficult to make further improvements before the major situation undergoes drastic changes.

In the entire Heluo area, all the private households should be used to maintain the current size of Luoyang City. Even so, it is still a little insufficient, and it still needs supplements from several counties in southern Henan.

However, the benefits of this kind of resource gathering are also great. The general returned to Luoyang in mid-October and officially issued a military order to launch a general attack on Hebei next year. As the end of the year approaches, Luoyang alone has mobilized more than 50,000 civilians and sent them to Xingyang, Henei and other places to lay the ground for the assembly of various armies.

Therefore, the July army dispatched as the General's Office issued an ultimatum to Hebei at the beginning of the year, which was quite confusing. After the addition from Jiangdong, in May, the royal army could basically launch a large-scale north attack on Jie Kingdom.

Even if there are some things to do, after summer in May, the rear water transportation, including the sea transportation that can directly connect to Kuaiji, can also complete the second round of supplements in September and mid-October.

Because the entire business, whether civil and military officials, can be said to be sharpening their swords and waiting to be slaughtered. As for other matters, they must be put aside for the time being.

After the Shangsi Festival in March, the turmoil in Liaodong was transmitted back to Luoyang. Because during last year's war, the royal army had already begun to get involved in the Bohai Sea and set up coastal strongholds, which greatly shortened the cycle of sending messages with Liaodong.

After learning the news, Shen Zhezi was also sincerely happy and sighed to everyone: "Wen Hongzu has become a talented person and is chasing his father. The major matter can be entrusted!"

The reason why Shen Zhezi was happy was not only how much restraint the turmoil in Liao would have in the subsequent wars. At this point, the pace of the king's advancement in the north could not be affected by Liao, which was located in a corner.

In the past few months, the situation in Hebei has changed again. There is no need to mention the retreat of Jiezhu Shi Hu. As Xingtai issued an ultimatum, his attitude of vowing to kill Jie Kingdom became more and more obvious. Ma Qiu from Ye finally couldn't withstand the pressure and gave up Ye Kingdom and evacuated towards Xiangguo.

The retreat of the Jie army in Yedi means that the complete Yellow River front has been mastered by the King's Army. Xingtai can gather at any location on this river line and invest troops without being harassed by the Jie army. The southern Hebei region east of the Taihang Mountains is within easy reach. The early war after the King's Army crosses the river will not be obstructed. It is advisable to take advantage of this sharp momentum to directly attack the last main force of the Jie Kingdom owned by Shihu!

Therefore, even if there is no change in Liao, the war in May is a foregone conclusion! Even if the Jingzhou army has already attacked Hanzhong and requested to continue to send more forces to Yidu, the approval of the Xingtai is just within its capacity, in order to concentrate more forces to devote to the most critical battle of the Northern Expedition!

The reason why the Jingzhou army asked Xingtai for reinforcements was because Yu Manzhi, Longyou, suddenly evacuated Hanzhong, while the main force of the Jingzhou army was staying in Bajun and Jiangyang, attacking Shanyue, Man and other tribes that depended on Chenghan. Yu Manzhi's evacuation caused the pressure in the northern part of Chenghan Yizhou, which made it difficult for the Jingzhou army to advance in the subsequent.

As for Yu Manzhi's evacuation, there was no way. In the middle of last year, Zhang Jun from Liangzhou suddenly died. When the news came, the general had already left Guanzhong to travel east. When he learned the news, he was not too surprised. He just ordered the officials of the Taiwan Taiwan to comment and gave a brief gift, and sent an order to support his heir Zhang Chonghua.

Xingtai is currently not more energy to interfere in the affairs of Liangzhou or even completely take it back. Moreover, the Liangzhou Sixu is also very clear. Zhang Jun had already established his position as his heir Zhang Chonghua when he was alive. The young man, Shen Zhezi, also had some contact and examination in Guanzhong. His basic mind is still normal. After seeing Xingtai's foundation and strength, he is also expected to maintain his father's vassal route without changing.

In this case, you only need to follow the flow of the road. As for the future, let’s talk about it later. But an accident still happened. When Zhang Jun died, Zhang Chonghua was still on his way back. His brother Zhang Zuo joined a group of Zhang clan subordinates, called Zhang Jun’s will, and appointed him as the governor of the military affairs of Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang and Xihai counties. It can basically be regarded as the meaning of placing land with Zhang Chonghua to govern.

Shen Zhezi also predicted that the Zhang family of Liangzhou had a rebellion, but after confirming that he would not directly interfere in Liangzhou affairs in a short period of time, he did not take it too seriously. He was even happy to see Zhang Jun's sons in peace with each other, but now that Zhang Zuo did this, he refused to accept Zhang Chonghua's return to the town without agreeing to his request, and Xingtai always had to show the attitude of the sect leader.

It was because Shen Zhezi ordered Yu Manzhi to temporarily withdraw his troops and transfer the troops from attacking Qiuchi and Hanzhong back to Longxi and other counties. On the one hand, he sent troops to escort Zhang Chonghua back to the town to succeed him, and on the other hand, he made sure that the Zhang family dispute did not affect the situation in Longyou.

As for the offensive loopholes caused by the Longyou army's return to defense, Mao Bao can only fill it first. If you want to restore the previous situation, it will definitely take several months to adjust. He ordered all the people on this line to ensure that the war will not undergo a major reversal and will not affect this battle this year. Under this premise, even if you give up some of the results of the advancement will be possible.

In short, all the affairs in the current Taiwan must revolve around the subsequent Hebei war, and this will never be shaken.

In terms of Liao, since Xingtai cannot directly intervene and interfere, it is more complicated than other places. Wen Fangzhi will not receive direct support from the royal army, and can also use Liu Qun and other Liu Kun's remaining troops to incite the local forces in Liao, causing not to be small turmoil and bring direct and practical worries to Jie Kingdom. This is really commendable.

Among them, the talent shown by Wen Fangzhi made Shen Zhezi feel particularly gratified. This young man is no longer the childish young man at the time when Jiankang first met. He has been practicing in the north over the years. Although he has not performed very well and amazingly, as long as he can seize the opportunity, he will not let it go.

Not only warm and open it, in recent years, more and more civil and military officials in Taiwan have gradually shown their strengths. Many people have the ability to work together to create a new prosperous era, which is also something that makes Shen Zhezi very excited.

Because in recent years, the Xingtai or the entire Jin court has reached a time when it has to undergo a major change. Although the Qitai reform was carried out once, it was not thorough at that time. Due to various considerations, many elderly people in Zhongxing were still in vain, but now they have gradually withered.
