Chapter 1843 The total force exceeded 900,000


    Chapter 1841: The total force exceeds 900,000


    In the early years of Xingping (194 AD), Qin Hao personally went to Taihang to propose marriage to the Queen of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang failed to initiate the Taihang Pact, and the two countries of Qin and Ming dynasties were merged into one.


    Subsequently, the 500,000 Qinming coalition forces crossed Taihang and attacked Hebei, opening the prelude to the Hebei War.


    During the eight-month war, the Qin army experienced hundreds of wars, and although it failed to completely unify Hebei, it also captured Jizhou and Qingbei, establishing its dominant position in Hebei.


    In these continuous battles, although the Qin army won consecutive victories, there were also considerable casualties.


    The Qin army suffered 90,000 casualties in the Jizhou battle.


    Julu killed 52,000 casualties in the battle to destroy Zhao.


    Since the Qin army in Jizhou did not intervene in the Qingzhou battlefield, and not counting the casualties of the Beihai War, the Qin army suffered a total of 150,000 casualties in the battle in Hebei alone.


    The 500,000 Qinming Joint Army before the war started, and after completely occupying Jizhou, only 350,000 were left.


    Although the Qin army suffered heavy casualties, the number of enemies annihilated was even greater, and a large number of prisoners of war were also captured.


    Li Jing captured the Han, Zhao, Chen and Liang coalition forces in Beihai.


    After the Julu War in Su Dingfang captured 33,000 Zhao troops, and after capturing the Bohai Sea and destroying the Zhao State, he captured a total of 130,000 Zhao troops, of which 30,000 were transformed into surrendered troops.


    Bai Qi ambushed the war and captured 80,000 Han and Zhao''s coalition forces, and then forced Zhang He''s 30,000 Han troops to surrender.


    If the surrendered army was not included, the Qin army captured nearly 300,000 prisoners of war on the three main battlefields alone.


    Li Jing led 30,000 elite troops to support the battlefield in Jizhou, while Qingbei, which was in short supply, recruited all prisoners to maintain the rule of the Qin army in Qingbei.


    Except for the prisoners of war in Qingbei who were incorporated, the other prisoners were all dispersed and detained in dozens of prisoners of war camps in Yecheng and Bohai to prevent the prisoners from acting violently.


    The 500,000 Qin troops that invaded Jizhou were only 350,000. In addition, Zhang He''s 30,000 Korean surrendered troops, Xiao Yan''s 30,000 Zhao troops, and Li Jing''s 30,000 Qingbei elite troops, the Qin army still had 440,000 troops in Jizhou.


    Including the reorganized army of 60,000 prisoners of war in Qingbei, the Qin army still has an army of 500,000 in Hebei.


    The Qin army, who fought for eight consecutive months, killed and injured nearly 150,000 troops, still maintained a 500,000 organization by replacing prisoners of war and enemy troops.


    Of course, among these 500,000 troops, the 60,000 reorganized troops in Qingbei have different comprehensive qualities and weak combat power, so it is naturally impossible to participate in the Youzhou War.


    The only army that can participate in the Youzhou War is 350,000 Qin troops, Li Jing''s 30,000 Beihai Qin troops, and Zhang He and Xiao Yan''s 60,000 Han and Zhao surrendered troops, totaling 440,000 troops.


    To deal with a mere Northern Han, there is no need for 440,000 troops, even 200,000 is enough to conquer Youzhou.


    But with the 200,000 Qing army heading south, and even more Qing troops could enter Youzhou at any time, nothing could be said.


    500,000 Qin, Jin and Ming ranks, lost 150,000 this time, of which the Ming ranks were the largest.


    The 150,000 Ming army that had just returned to Qin, now only nearly 80,000 troops remained, with nearly 70,000 troops being reduced, and nearly half of the soldiers died in the battlefield in Jizhou.


    The reason why the Ming army suffered such great casualties was mainly because they wanted to show their best in front of the new master. The generals of each army fought very **** the battlefield, so the casualties rate was so amazing. Nearly half of the 150,000 army suffered casualties, and the Ming generals were naturally anxious. The military marquis asked for the lieutenant, the lieutenant asked for the general, the lieutenant asked for the general, the general, the general asked for the Long Ju, and Long Ju asked for Qin Hao, hoping to replenish the source of troops from the prisoners of war.


    The Ming Clan''s requirements are not excessive. After all, their casualties are indeed the highest in the entire army. Qin Hao thought about it for a moment and prepared to agree. This is also to balance the strength of the three Clans and not let any Clan dominate.


    Qin Hao''s arrangement was naturally correct, but after learning about it, the generals of the Qin and Jin dynasties also came to Qin Hao, hoping to supplement it from prisoners of war.


    Except for the prisoners of war that have been incorporated by Qingbei and the 100,000 strong prisoners of war in Bohai, the other prisoners of war are the main forces of Han and Zhao. After being supplemented with the army, they can go to the battlefield immediately after a little training. They are the best source of soldiers, but the number of prisoners of war in this type is obviously not large.


    The total number of main prisoners of war in Weijun and Bohai is only 120,000. Even if all of them were incorporated by the Qin army, it would not be enough to fill the hole of the 150,000 in the three divisions of Qin, Jin and Ming dynasties.


    The generals of the three Qin and Jinming clans, in order to compete for these high-quality soldiers, were quarreling every day, and they almost started fighting directly, and Qin Hao was also disturbed by them.


    Originally, Qin Hao wanted to reorganize these prisoners of war into an army alone and then hand it over to commander Han Xin, but he did not expect that his family had targeted these prisoners of war and all wanted to absorb Hebei prisoners of war to recover their blood.


    After careful consideration, Qin Hao decided to incorporate all the 120,000 prisoners of war, and then took all 40,000 prisoners of war from Bohai to Yecheng, and handed over the 120,000 prisoners of war to Li Jing and Han Xin for concentrated training.


    As for the other 100,000 prisoners of war in Bohai, Qin Hao ordered all of them to be sent home, and this order also prompted the people of Bohai to submit to their hearts.


    After Li Jing and Han Xin''s month-long training, 120,000 Han and Zhao prisoners of war have completely returned to their hearts and can be absorbed into the army.


    In the end, Qin Hao divided the 120,000 prisoners of war into four parts, 40,000 were assigned to Han Xin''s subordinates, 40,000 were assigned to the Ming clan, 20,000 were assigned to the Qin clan, and 20,000 were assigned to the Jin clan.


    Since then, in addition to the three Qin, Jin and Ming dynasties, there has been another new faction, the Hebei dynasty.


    Currently among the major factions of the Qin army, the Qin faction is the strongest, the Jin faction is second, the Ming faction is third, and the Ji faction is weakest.


    At present, the Hebei regime''s forces belong to only Han Xin''s 40,000 prisoners and reorganized troops, Zhang He''s 30,000 Korean surrendered troops, and Xiao Yan''s 30,000 Zhao surrendered troops, totaling 100,000 troops.


    After Qin Hao rectified the two prefectures of Ji and Qing and acquired 120,000 Han and Zhao prisoners of war, the Qin army''s troops in Jizhou reached 560,000. If the 60,000 troops in Qingbei were added, the total force of the Qin army in Hebei reached an astonishing 620,000.


    In addition to the forces of Jingzhou, Sizhou, Bingzhou, and Hetao, the total strength of the Qin army has steadily exceeded 900,000.


    900,000 troops, this is definitely a terrifying number.


    You know, even the great man before the Yellow Turban Rebellion still couldn''t afford to support so many troops.


    But now that new grain seeds have been fully promoted, Qin Hao has raised a total of 900,000 troops with the six prefectures of Sijing and Jiqinghetao.


    After Qin Hao conquered Youzhou, the total strength of the Qin army will definitely exceed one million. Even if all the princes join forces together, they will still not be able to stop Qin Hao''s unification.
