Chapter 613: What to Fight
Fu Nianjun couldn't help but smile when he heard Chen Lingzhi say this:
"You no longer see yourself as a Song person, but I can't, this battle, the Great Song must win. ”
Only by winning will Zhou Shaoyong's plan be terminated, and the Song army will be able to take the initiative to resist the Western Xia, and no longer regard the defeat as an infinite and powerless reincarnation again and again.
What's more important is her husband Zhou Yubai.
There he is.
The moment he decided to go to the border, he had put his life on the line.
Chen Lingzhi didn't know the many reasons in Fu Nianjun's heart, and just said after hearing her words:
"Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, to be honest, with the strength of the Great Song Dynasty now, it is difficult to ......"
He is now leading troops under Xiao Rin, and he can be regarded as having a certain understanding of the military strength of the Liao State.
The army under Xiao Rin is the descendant left by Xiao Wen when he was alive, and it is an elite soldier who has the ability to directly fight under the city of Lanyuan twenty years ago to force the Song army to compromise.
If it weren't for Liao's withdrawal, it wouldn't be a big problem to break into Tokyo.
When the Song army saw Xiao Wen's military flag, they sweated and fought in two strands, which is not just a legend.
The military strength of the Great Song Dynasty is really weak, and the soldiers are divided into four categories: forbidden soldiers, box soldiers, township soldiers and feudal soldiers, among which the forbidden soldiers are the emperor's guards, commonly known as the "Eastern Soldiers", which is the most elite army in the country, but this army is just the object of fun under the Liao people, Tokyo claims to have 800,000 forbidden soldiers, but it is no match for the 80,000 under Xiao Rin.
This is the reality, and even if you refuse to admit it, you have to admit it.
Chen Lingzhi saw that Fu Nianjun didn't speak, and the young man's proud mood was a little troublesome, and he admitted that maybe he wanted to study hard with Fu Nianjun in the matter of power schemes, but when it came to military affairs, she was a woman, and I am afraid she was not clear.
He cleared his throat and continued: "Although it is Di Ming who is now in charge of Yanzhou, and his Di family army is also brave, and it is an elite division that is accustomed to fighting with the Qiangyi people, but his army, the military discipline is not good, and the civil ministers and internal supervisors sent by the imperial court, do they admit it or not? ”
The tone at the end of his sentence was slightly raised, and he couldn't help but gloat.
So what to fight? How to fight?
Fu Nianjun sneered: "No matter what you fight, I will never borrow your Liao people's soldiers and ride your Liao people's horses." ”
Chen Lingzhi raised his lips:
"Sister, are you sure?"
Fu Nianjun knew that Chen Lingzhi was not wrong, and every word he said was not wrong.
What's more, according to Song Ting's consistent weakness, he may soon beg for the wolf master.
The choice of the Liao people is nothing more than two, to watch from the wall, or to take advantage of the predicament of the Song Dynasty to open their mouths.
I don't even have to think about it.
Fu Nianjun only said: "The Song army may not lose, although General Di is difficult to support alone, but the Western army is not all general. ”
The Eastern Army is the most regular elite forbidden army, among which there are even many noble children in Beijing, who eat imperial food, everyone looks down on them, and calls a "military master" a lot of officers, while the Western Army is just the opposite, they are all wild roads, none of the generals are from prominent backgrounds, let alone the descendants of Taizu Taizong, leading the children of the family, the soldiers and horses are inherited from generation to generation, and the family has been entangled with the Western Xia and Qingtang Zhuqiang for many years, fighting and sacrificing, going deep into the Hanhai Gobi, and taking the horse leather shroud as the only ending.
In short, those people were sacrificed by the Great Song Emperor and high-ranking officials.
However, the elite and strong of the Western Army represents the highest level of the Great Song Army.
But as soon as that sentence came out, Fu Nianjun himself was upset.
Western Army, where is there any Western Army?
The border has always been troublesome, and Di Ming and his Di family army are not completely part of the Western Army, so he may still be promoted.
As for some of the other generals, they were not so lucky.
And there is another factor, which is the former privy envoy Wenbo.
When Wenbo was young, he was also a brave and good general, but no one stipulates that a good general must be broad-minded and tolerant in addition to being able to fight.
Wenbo was a little rigid in the later stage, otherwise he would not have excluded Di Ming like this.
Moreover, when he was at the border, he vigorously rectified many generals who he felt were chaotic in military discipline, fierce and ruthless, and lawless, and even dismissed several people in one go, and their subordinates were dismissed on the spot, and then new soldiers were recruited.
It is conceivable that many of the newly recruited recruits are simply ruffians and hooligans, and there are even Hu people who have fled across the border, which is far from the level of forbidden soldiers.
Not to mention that Wenbo later returned to Beijing, he was old, and Tokyo City was such a prosperous and wealthy place, it was easiest to paralyze a person's will.
The existence of the Western Army has always been an unstable hidden danger for the Song Dynasty, which is an inevitable contradiction due to politics.
If there is no cultural museum, there will be others.
Fu Nianjun sighed softly.
"I hope what my sister said is true. ”
Chen Lingzhi's words sounded in Fu Nianjun's ears, and the tone of his words was very unpleasant.
Fu Nianjun didn't bother to look at him any more.
Chen Lingzhi continued to say to himself: "Sister, the Song Realm is not peaceful now, isn't it good for you to live here with peace of mind? You will be safe...... Your husband doesn't try to pick you up again, maybe it's because of this consideration, where is there safer now?"
Fu Nianjun sneered and did not answer.
Even if Zhou Yubai really thinks so, he doesn't need him to tell himself.
After Chen Lingzhi left, Fu Nianjun and Xiahou Ying talked about the war between Song and Xia.
Xiahou Ying has been on the rivers and lakes for many years, and she is not an uninformed person, so she immediately worried:
"I'm afraid that after this war, the pressure on the court is not small. ”
In the end, after calculation, military spending still fell on the people.
Fu Nianjun sighed:
"If the imperial court can reduce its strength by half, its combat effectiveness will probably be doubled. ”
Xiahou Ying thought for a while, nodded and said, "'It's not too expensive', that's probably the truth." ”
Fu Nianjun thought of Fu Kun's new deal that he had heard about in his previous life, and this was the focus on reform, but in the end, Fu Kun died before the new deal was fully implemented.
The army of the Great Song Dynasty is still following the current trend all the way, and it can't be pulled back.
So this battle is really a turning point.
If he wins, Fu Kun will be able to start implementing the new policy sooner......
