Chapter 815 Encircled Western Xia

With the plan to destroy the Western Xia was decided, the entire Privy Council entered a peculiar state, everyone was doing the same thing with the greatest motivation, this state was rare in the Great Song Dynasty, and the war could put all the forces of a country in one place so that half of it would win.

The war is fought by national strength, Zhao Zhen will never be stingy with money in the war, because the income from the war is much higher than his investment, although this income is the result of a long wait, but the war money is not always there, once the Great Song Dynasty won the Western Xia, the large area of horse breeding land and the fertile Hetao Plain are a huge wealth.

Zhao Zhen doesn't think that these lands are worthless, nor do they think that they are foreign lands, as long as they are used well, they can make the Great Song Dynasty to a higher level.

The three divisions, Zhongshu Province, the Privy Council, the Road Administration Yuan and other imperial court institutions are running rapidly, even the front division of the palace and Chongwenyuan, all the yamen related to the war are working overtime without exception, as the emperor, Zhao Zhen has not returned to the palace for three days, let alone those officials.

The exterior of the Imperial Palace in Beijing City was brightly lit, and the entire Great Song Dynasty was not idle and efficient, and once the huge and terrifying state machine was in operation, it was like a wild dragon, and no one could stop its pace.

The army began to assemble rapidly after receiving the order, and no one asked what the target was this time, because it was useless to ask, and the generals who led the troops did not know their destination, only that it was an extraordinary transfer.

In the Great Song Dynasty, it has become a habit to adjust the defense, and the central forbidden army and the border forbidden army and the 16 guards are to let the soldiers experience the happiness and hardship of the border and the friction in the process of the border and gain more actual combat experience.

It's just that some people have noticed that the scale of this transfer is really larger, even if it is to be adjusted, why bother to transfer the most elite forbidden army from Beiping Mansion? But everyone didn't expect it, and they wouldn't have thought that Zhao Zhen's adjustment of defense was actually a prelude to a war to destroy the country.

There were more rumors in the army, even the small foot soldiers were discussing this matter with each other, and Xiao Hu, a young soldier of Di Qing Shuaisi, asked the veteran: "What do you say we are going to do, military leader?" It can't be just a border fight, right? I heard from my brothers in the army that we are going to the west this time...... Fight against the party! ”

The head of the army frowned, and a pair of calloused hands tightened the backpack on the young soldier's body and said: "Don't listen to those people, just do your own thing, this kind of news is not allowed in the army, if you let Yu Hou hear it, you will definitely engage in military law, even if you are allowed to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, how can you not go?" ”

Xiaohu thought about it, and said with a smile: "Yes! I listen to you, but this time the Mo knife given by the Ordnance Division is much lighter, and it is better than the previous one, and even my horizontal knife has been replaced with a new one! ”

The military leader smiled: "What is this?" Look at this plate armor, the lining of the previous pair is almost worn out, look at the current one, it is still a cotton lining! Even if it's cold, it's comfortable to wear, but you can only put it in a big car......"

The two were talking, and the quartermaster on one side had already taken a few sergeants to push a cart to distribute things that they usually did not have in the army, which surprised them very much, they were all unified in the army to collect things, and they had not seen the quartermaster personally bring people to distribute things, what was under the tarpaulin of a cart and a cart?

"Zhang Biao, bring all your people, the official family has given you warm clothes! One piece per person, don't say that I have treated you badly! ”

Imperial clothing?

As the head of the army, Zhang Biao asked in surprise: "What clothes?" Is it really a reward from the government? ”

"That's nature! Is this still fake? It's not that I boast of the benevolence of the official family, there is no such son of heaven in the world! See, what is this? The best sweater! There are few high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing, and there are few wealthy businessmen and gentry, who would have thought that our forbidden army would actually have one per person, which is not a great reward? ”

"Scared! This is the sweater, Xiaohu quickly called the brothers to pick it up, this thing is precious and tight, even if you are reluctant to wear it, it is excellent to send it to your home! Hurry! ”

With the words of the military leader Zhang Biao, the entire military camp was boiling, and the people who had been watching the excitement quickly returned to their own class to call, and for a while the army was lively as if it was the New Year.

Who would have thought that the official family would have such a big hand, and it is about to enter autumn This year is even colder than last year, and the sweaters rewarded by the official family are really timely, not only to keep out the cold but also very comfortable, and what is even more commendable is that these sweaters are also large and small.

Not only sweaters, but also all kinds of small objects, cloth bags for fried noodles, water bottles to carry with you, whetstones for sharpening swords, etc., all show the benefits of the complete logistics support of the Great Song Dynasty's armaments. No one will make excuses for the issue of armaments.

This scene was staged in the army of the Great Song Dynasty, very simply, this is Zhao Zhen's sweater inventory hoarded in consumption, the wool of the Great Song Dynasty has been preserved a lot, and these wools have to be made into sweaters or blankets and other things, although the wool of the Western Xia is gone, but Zhao Zhen has to promote consumption, so that the demand for wool in the Great Song Dynasty increases, which will force the market to find its own solution, and also obtain supply and demand for the Great Song Dynasty after winning the Western Xia.

Why should a war be waged if it does not bring benefits?

This war against the Western Xia Great Song launched more soldiers, and it only took 100,000 people to recover Yanyun Zhao Zhen, and to deal with the Western Xia, the Great Song used a full 300,000 troops, which was unprecedented, even Taizong's Yongxi Northern Expedition was only 200,000 troops.

150,000 forbidden troops, 150,000 16 guards, this is all the belongings that the Great Song Dynasty can handle, of course, the number of armaments in the Great Song Dynasty is far more than these, but they are responsible for the garrison of Yanyun to prevent the Liao people from taking the opportunity to go south.

What is the concept of an army of 300,000? This is equivalent to all the population of a prosperous city in the Great Song Dynasty, the materials and ordnance needed are even more numerous, and the military expenses are huge......

Thanks to the Great Song Dynasty Highway, 300,000 troops moved quickly in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, under the command of Di Qing, the troops were divided into three ways to rush to the Western Xia border, the farthest has arrived at the northwest border of the Great Song Dynasty Xining Prefecture, the other way of soldiers and horses is stationed in Qingzhou, the last one is from Datong Mansion, along the Song-Liao border through the Liao Dynasty's Dongshengzhou to reach the Ulan Mulun River.

The Great Song Dynasty nominally carried out the banner of drills, which made the Liao people nervous again and strengthened their defenses against Dongshengzhou, because it was under the banner of drills that the Great Song Dynasty launched a surprise attack on the land of Yanyun.

In this way, the 100,000-strong army crossed the border of the Liao people safely and entered the Ulan Mulun River, without any stops along the way, which did not make the Liao people suspicious.

At this time, the Western Xia has been surrounded by the Great Song Dynasty, if you count the Qingtang Coalition Army, the current Western Xia is embattled, and the Great Song Dynasty is not in a hurry to start, the reason is very simple, the grain and grass are still on the way.
