Chapter 480 Population Size
At 5:00 a.m. on June 8 in the third year of Tianxuan, the Yicun Territorial Army officially launched the Jidao Offensive against the third batch of invasion fleet landing troops of the Anti-Yicun Alliance.
However, the Jidao offensive was initiated by the army, and Xuande, Su Li, etc. cooperated with the army to push the villages in Yicun's territory to the south, which had nothing to do with Qu Mao.
Qu Mao slept until 8 a.m. on June 8. After breakfast, he looked at the south wall of Ji Village under the protection of the fifth-rank court guards, and went to the east wall and west wall of Ji Village. After inspecting the city wall, he was concerned about the Ji Island offensive launched by the territorial army of Yi Village, and then returned to the fifth-floor building in Ji Village.
The night before, Qu Mao had asked the Army Heroes to help notify the internal affairs officers of the five islands to come to Ji Village for a meeting. At present, Qu Mao has some understanding of the size of the navy and the size of the army, but his understanding of the population size is limited to the territory attribute panel, but the territory The stats panel will not show the number of POWs at all.
At around 10 am on June 8th, the Jidao offensive was still in full swing. The landing force of the third invasion fleet of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance encountered a head-on attack from the Yi Village Territory Army. It was completely different from the previous prisoner capture operations. The village territory can be described as strong soldiers and strong horses.
Su Yan, Su Qiaoer, Jiaxu, You Rong and Wen Jing, the five internal affairs officials and heroes, have come to the living room of the fifth-floor building in Ji Village according to Qu Mao's request. Everyone is looking at Qu Mao sitting in the middle with doubts.
Seeing the doubts written on the faces of the other four internal affairs officers and heroes, Su Yan sighed, and asked with some doubts: "My lord, the interior affairs officers and heroes are currently busy organizing and coordinating the use of their own resident recruitment coupons, and Recruited self-owned residents resettlement work.
You suddenly called us to Jicun for a meeting, did something important happen? "
Qu Mao said: "Su Yan, heroes of the internal affairs department, I am really embarrassed to call you here when you are so busy, but the matter is very important.
Yesterday afternoon and evening, I learned about the situation of the navy and the army, which gave me a very exciting feeling.
After fighting against the enemy's troop transport line along the reef chain, the navy has reached a total of 209 warships, and the total number of naval personnel will soon reach 100,000.
Before launching the Jidao offensive, the army had a total strength of 71,000, not counting the zero-level militia with a total of 50,000. After defeating the third batch of invasion fleet landing troops of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance, the total number of troops of the army will reach 100,000. .
But I took a look at the property panel of the territory. At present, our territory of Yi Village has a total population of only 410,000. Because the property panel of the territory does not display the residents and prisoners of war we are in transit for the time being, so I called you over, which is good for our territory of Yi Village. A general survey of population resources and population size is also a good way to plan for the future. "
Su Yan sighed, opened the property panel of Yi Village Territory, looked at it for a while and said: "My lord, this data is not accurate enough.
You can check it after June 10, and the data will be more accurate.
Subordinates estimate that after we finish using the resident recruitment vouchers obtained in June and resettling the residents on June 10, the total population of our Yi Village territory will reach 470,000.
In addition, the total number of prisoners of war in the territory of Yi Village should have exceeded 180,000. Zhen Fu has not yet carried out the work of recruiting prisoners of war, but once we complete the recruitment and resettlement of our own residents on June 10, Zhen Fu will immediately open the prisoners of war Surrender work.
But for the time being, only about 120,000 prisoners of war have been transported to the Zhongdao POW camp, and the prisoners on other islands that cannot be accommodated are gradually being transported to the Zhongdao POW camp.
Therefore, after June 10, our total population will be about 470,000. By June 20, ten days after Zhen Fu's liberalization operation of persuading prisoners of war to surrender and surrendering troops, our total population will reach 500,000. In terms of prisoners of war and population, the total number of residents at this stage is 650,000.
The total number of soldiers in the army and navy is only 200,000. Although it is still very high, it has made great progress compared with the past. On average, there is only one soldier for every three people. Our territory of Yi Village can afford such a large scale troops. "
Su Qiaoer said: "My lord, the data that Miss said is closer to the actual situation of our Yi Village territory, please be aware of it.
According to the information you conveyed, my lord, we will continue to receive 100,000 self-owned resident recruitment coupons in July and August. Reached 850,000 people.
If we want to consider our development plan based on the population, the subordinates think it would be more appropriate to use 850,000 people as the base number. "
Jia Xu and Wen Jing glanced at each other, and Wen Jing said, "My lord, 850,000 is probably not our population limit in early August.
Master Kong Ming said that the third batch of invasion fleet landing troops of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance on Jidao Island should still have 130,000 to 160,000 soldiers. Among these enemy troops, even if we continue to capture 100,000, the total population in early August It's also 950,000. "
Yourong also said: "My lord, even if Master Zhen Fu's progress in recruiting and surrendering cannot keep up with the speed of capturing prisoners of war, the upper limit of Zhongdao prisoner-of-war camp is 300,000, so my subordinates feel that the army should exercise restraint and try to kill as few prisoners as possible when continuing to fight." Enemy, more prisoners.
If the army kills too much, the subordinates hope that the Lord or Kong Ming can intervene, even if it is 999,999 people, it is still far behind our population of one million. "
Qu Mao nodded and said: "I understand what you mean, can it be simply understood as: After the end of the war in June, until the beginning of August, even if we don't think of other ways, the total number of residents and prisoners of war alone will Can it reach 950,000 steadily?"
Yourong said: "There will be no accidents in the Nakashima POW camp, and the prisoners will not die in large numbers for no reason."
Su Yan thought for a while and said, "My lord, you are right in understanding this way.
This data, in fact, we have not considered our fourth-tier refugee shelter in Yi Village. The fourth-tier refugee shelter can now provide 10-20 refugees per day for our Yi Village territory to recruit.
Provide 10-20 refugees for our recruitment every day, counting for more than 70 days, it can also provide thousands of people. "
Su Qiaoer said: "Miss, this is a decimal. We have stopped purchasing people from other trading port cities now. If we buy again, we can increase the population by tens of thousands."
Yourong said: "My lord, we tentatively estimate that the total population of our Yi Village territory will reach 1 million in early August. The total population size is 950,000. This number always feels a bit embarrassing."
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "Indeed, the figure of 950,000 is a bit embarrassing, so let's set the total population of 1 million.
Anyway, it’s just a goal, let’s all work towards this goal.
If it is really not possible by then, it will be no problem to purchase recruitment coupons, open treasure chests, refugee shelters, and even purchase citizens of other trading port cities. "
Su Yan smiled and said: "My lord, there is actually nothing to be entangled in this matter, we just set the target to a total population of 1 million, and then work hard in this direction.
If you can’t, just buy the leaders. In fact, we have already had a natural increase in population, but the number is still relatively small, so the subordinates have not reported to you.
Besides, it will take at least 15 years for the natural increase of the population to become a driving force for the development of our Yi Village territory. The current natural increase of the population can only provide some help in terms of the stability and return of the residents. "
Qu Mao slapped his head and said: "I forgot, although I don't purchase people from other trading port cities now, but Sunan has been recruiting third-tier fighters for our Yi Village territory in Liuwang Principality.
Even if we end the war with the third batch of invasion fleet landing forces of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance on Jidao on June 30, Sunan can at least recruit and transport 5,000 third-tier fighters from Liuwang Principality to Jidao.
The reinforcements are not only counted as our total population, but can also supplement our army strength..."
Su Qiaoer said: "My lord, as long as there are enough gold coins, it is no problem for Suber to recruit and train 10,000 third-tier fighters in Liuwang Principality.
The total population we are sure of is 950,000. Is the goal of 1 million a little too low? "
Qu Mao waved his hand and said: "Forget it, we will set the total population target to break one million.
At the beginning of August this year, the total population of our Yi Village territory exceeded 1 million. Let's all work hard for this goal.
I promise to recruit 99,900 ordinary residents and 3,000 outstanding residents in early July, and the same scale in early August, at least the same scale.
If it is a little far from the goal of 1 million by then, I may use the recruitment coupons of excellent-level qualified residents to make up for it.
The matter of population size, let’s stop talking about it here, and everyone will stop talking about it.
Since you are all here, let's not waste this opportunity. Next, let's discuss the development of the territory.
The five of you are serious about discussing the development of the territory of Yi Village, and I will inform the naval hero.
Army heroes just launched our Jidao offensive against the third batch of invasion fleet landing forces of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance today, and the navy should also cooperate.
The Jidao offensive was the penultimate one, if not the last one. You don't want to go back to your respective islands, I plan to hold a meeting of heroes at 6 o'clock tonight to fully arrange the entire counterattack plan.
Wait until the meeting with other heroes is over, and you will return to the islands tomorrow to perform your duties. "
Su Yan nodded and said: "My lord, you can arrange your own affairs. The subordinates here will organize the internal affairs officials and heroes to discuss the development of people's livelihood."
