Chapter 1191: The Strength of the Great Song Forbidden Army
"It's okay, the Western Army can transfer 30,000 Fanhan and Ma troops. Please search () to see the most complete! "What kind of person is Shao Xing, he can deal with complicated trivial matters of the mixed life of the Han Dynasty, and he can naturally hear what Wang Xiu means, there is to ask about side affairs, and to knock on the side to attack the troops of the Western Servant Army, and the Privy Council is involved in the military Division, but Wang Xiu asked is meaningful, and it must not be a simple politeness.
He suddenly felt unsatisfied, and said: "30,000 officials are transferred eastward, and the rest can gather 60,000 people to go north." ”
"Wang Xianggong, I don't ask about the Northern Expedition but ask Hexi, I really don't understand." Yue Fei's face was grim, and he said very unceremoniously.
Shao Xing's face changed greatly, and he secretly scolded Yue Fei and Meng Lang, Wang Xianggong asked Shazhou, actually pointed out that the Western Servant Army should bear the strength, this is a major event that determines the order of the battlefield, does this guy not understand or pretend not to understand? Hurriedly said: "Wang Xianggong, this... Peng's heart is straightforward and fast. ”
Zhong Lirui also frowned, staring at Yue Fei with a blank face, as if he was looking at a fool. Also, I want Yue Fei to fight in Hexi for many years, and it can be said that he is in charge, so I still can't understand the simple truth? He couldn't believe it.
Wang Xiu waved his hand, turned his head to look at Yue Fei, his eyes were a little playful, and said lightly: "How do you think the captain should ask?" ”
Yue Fei didn't realize that something was wrong, and he didn't feel that his rhetorical question was inappropriate, he raised his eyebrows, and said loudly: "The imperial court defeated the captives in Hexi, Qiangbo is not salty, the Shenwu army is in front, the Gongchen army is behind, and the auxiliary Longyou capital is guarded, 30,000 strong troops, who dares to attack?" ”
Wang Xiu is noncommittal, Yue Fei has been in Hexi for many years, followed Shao Xing is conquest and killing, and it is true that he has become a well-known general of the Ma Army, but he is only one of them.
Since the implementation of the ministries of elite troops, the forbidden army has not decreased, but increased a few military numbers, but the full number of troops has declined, the North Servant Army has maintained five, the West Servant Army has four, and the Shenwu and Gongchen armies stationed in Hexi are precisely the full army, half of the Han army and half of the Fan army, and the combat effectiveness is extremely strong.
Yue Fei's words also make sense, there are more than 20,000 people in the Hexi Forbidden Army, almost all of them are horse troops, all of them have been trained by years of war, if you have to give an evaluation of combat effectiveness, it is not inferior to the former Tang Anxi Capital Protector Army, plus the Longyou Capital Protector Horse Support, it is difficult for external forces to shake it, and the main force of the Western Servant Army can be completely transferred eastward.
Zhong Lirui glanced at Yue Fei and said lightly: "If you don't ask about the northwest border affairs, how can you talk about the north, and you must not look at the affairs of the soldiers." ”
Shao Xing saw that Yue Fei's face was displeased, and he was afraid that this guy would say something foolish again, so he hurriedly said: "What the bachelor said is that only when the northwest is stable can the army be dispatched to the east. ”
Wang Xiu smiled freely, although Yue Fei has outstanding military talent, but he is a political dwarf, and he has no general knowledge, and said softly: "Tai Lieutenant said that the Western Army dispatched 30,000 horse troops, although it is good, these horse armies have to be used on the blade. ”
It is true that the Great Song Dynasty is an elite army, but it is a certain infantry army, the horse army and the chariot army have been strengthened, and even the southern army has formed a horse army in a brigade town.
Ordinary infantry troops are relatively easy to train, and daily drills are organized by the township army, and there are also local archery clubs, which only need to retain the backbone in peacetime, and can quickly expand the army in wartime.
The horse army and the chariot army are not synchronized with the army, that is, if it is a long-term training, it is a technical unit, and it cannot be formed overnight.
In recent years, he has not only steadily developed horse politics, but also formulated a series of protection policies for the northwest environment, stipulating that all horse farms cannot be exploited predatively, and even closed grasslands.
As a result, the number of war horses in the country has not increased, and even decreased compared with the period of the party members, all of which are sourced to protect the ecology of the northwest and avoid the degradation of grasslands into deserts.
These were the policies he forcibly promoted, and when he was opposed, he quoted the theory of the pre-Qin era, in the words of King Wen, "the mountains and forests do not raise the axe from time to time, so as to become the length of the grass and trees; Chuan Ze does not enter the net from time to time, with the length of adult fish and turtles; No moose or egg, to become the length of birds and beasts. It is to return to the abyss with fish and turtles, and to return to the forest with birds and beasts. ”
In the law, the Zhou Dynasty's "Cutting Chong Order" is directly used: "Do not destroy the house, do not destroy the grave, do not cut down the trees, and do not move the six animals." Those who are not as good as the order will die without forgiveness. ”
He not only restricted predatory development, but also formulated afforestation laws and regulations in various military states, which were regarded as the achievements of the military states in the northwest and the military, and all prefectures and counties that could not improve the ecological environment were not allowed to be promoted, and those who deteriorated the forests and pastures would be dismissed from their posts and, of course, fined money, which they could not bear.
Although, the big effect has not yet come out, but the system has really been formed, no one wants to joke about the future, a large area of mountainous areas is planting trees, grasslands are gradually closed, Yuquan Mountain, Zhongshan Academy natural disciplines are valued, those baby bumps, but they are all Zhizhou, Zhixian promotion depends!
As a result, the development of the Great Song Dynasty horse army was restricted, and it did not return to the glory of the Han and Tang dynasties, and there were more than 400,000 horses of all kinds in the Northwest Horse Farm.
The front division of the palace has 30,000 horse troops, and there are actually 4,000, the west army has 60,000 horse troops, and there are actually 40,000, the north army has 50,000 horse troops, and there are actually 25,000, and the south army has 10,000 horse troops, but there are only 3,000 in fact, and half of the troops are still mules and horses, and there are no deputy horses.
Shao Xing smiled embarrassedly, he said that he could dispatch 30,000 horse troops, and he really wanted to transfer troops from Hexi, and other troops in Shaanxi were obviously not satisfied.
Zhong Lirui's eyes rolled and said, "My lord, the imperial court raises hundreds of thousands of horses, and it can also be used in wartime, and 30,000 sharp soldiers are feasible." ”
Wang Xiu did not care about this, he was able to mobilize 20,000 chariot soldiers, 50,000 horse troops were enough, the key was still in the strategic strategy and baggage support, and said: "The captives are not as sharp as they were back then, and the strength can not be contemptuous, and they are not idle, but they have trained a group of elite soldiers, and the counterattack of the other party must be avoided, but it does not necessarily have to be used by the horse army to defeat the enemy, the key is battlefield scheduling, the eyes are bright, and the retreat can run more than anything else." ”
Yue Fei agreed with Wang Xiu's words, as a general, he understood the key very well, the collection and judgment of battlefield military information, and the guarantee of baggage supplies were particularly important, that is, the importance of unified deployment was also the purpose of his and Shao Xing's brother-in-law.
Since Wang Xiu affirmed, he said unceremoniously: "The last general thinks that the Northern Expedition is the first priority of the dynasty, and some generals openly ask to cut off the entire battlefield for the sake of the personal interests of one army and the reputation of one person, resulting in the inability of the forbidden army to achieve unified control. ”
Wang Xiu's eyebrows raised when he heard this, Zhong Lirui's face was also unbearable, and he looked at Yue Fei deeply, his eyes full of complaints.
