Chapter 870: The veteran wears armor
At this time, Ouyang Xiu understood that if he didn't hide Pang was the main battle, then the queen mother would be the main descendant, Ouyang Xiu did not underestimate the Wuzang clan because of her position, but felt that she was the one who took the overall situation into account.
"However, what the Queen Mother said is exactly what my Great Song Emperor said, if the Western Xia returns to my Great Song Dynasty and enters my China, there will be no distinction between internal and external relatives, and all the party members show it as the Han people, this is the golden mouth of my Great Song Emperor, since I said it, I will not break my word, otherwise it will not make the world laugh ......"
The Wuzang clan nodded slightly behind the bead curtain, Ouyang Xiu was right, Zhao Zhengui is the monarch of the Great Song Dynasty, the lord of the world, cherishing reputation is like cherishing feathers, since he said this, he will definitely fulfill it.
"What Ouyang Zheng's envoy said is very true, the lord of the Song Dynasty in this palace will do what he says, but you also know that the Western Xia is not the master of the palace alone, and the palace is just seeking a way out for my party......"
Ouyang Xiu's face changed, he thought that the Zang clan had changed his mind and planned to promote this peace, but who knew that he was just seeking the final retreat, so since this was the case, what was the meaning of what she said?
Do you plan to bet on both sides, on the one hand, to support the battle between Wuzang Pang and the Great Song Dynasty, and on the other hand, to protect the party members after the defeat? Wouldn't he become her pawn?!
"The Queen Mother should make a decision, and the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty are like hitting a stone with an egg......"
The Wuzang clan smiled contemptuously: "Do you think that the Great Song Emperor will be willing to accept the Western Xia with heavy troops?" If you don't defeat this 500,000 army, will the Great Song Dynasty accept the party clan that may rebel at any time?! ”
Without the words of the Tibetan clan, Ouyang Xiu was empowered, and at once he understood what the purpose of all the arrangements of the official family was.
It's not that the Great Song Dynasty doesn't accept the begging of Western Xia, but there are too many things to worry about, to be precise, there are too many troubles. First, the officials have already seen that this is a delaying tactic that has not hidden the slander, and second, even if the party members are really begging to surrender, the nearly 500,000 Western Xia army is also a big trouble and must be eliminated.
In this way, there must be a war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, and at the same time, the Great Song Dynasty must also try its best to defeat the 500,000 army.
Drag the enemy into the territory of Western Xia first, what is the loss of a few cities, and what is the loss of face? Only the true defeat of the enemy is the ultimate winner!
The Western Expedition of the Liao Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty encountered a similar scene, but the Liao Dynasty was powerless, and the Great Song Dynasty lasted for a long time! This is also the gap between Song and Liao.
The Western Xia people felt that the battle line of the Great Song Dynasty was too long, and the Great Song Dynasty had captured too many cities, so the troops would inevitably be scattered, Ouyang Xiu sneered in his heart, no wonder the official family wanted to send retired soldiers from the country to the battlefield again, no wonder the official family wanted to let Di Qing wait for the arrival of reinforcements before attacking Xingqing Mansion, everything was expected by the official family!
Seeing Ouyang Xiu's wonderful expression, how did he know that his words made him think so many things clearly, and even the shackles in his heart were opened......
"Ouyang Xiu?!"
"Oh...... The foreign minister lost his mind for a while, and asked the queen mother to forgive the sins, the queen mother's meaning and letters, the foreign minister will definitely transfer it to the official family, and the official family will decide! ”
Wuzang did not object, in her opinion, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty must have expected this kind of thing a long time ago, and he passed on the book Tuoba Zhuoran, as long as he read the content of the letter, he would be relieved, this is not a letter that made Tuoba Zhuoran intercede, but the real letter of the Song Dynasty in Western Xia.
She wants to leave a back road for her Xixia, and she wants to leave a back road for the party members, although this back road is not as beautiful as it is now, but at least it can make the party members live comfortably, so that the country will not be ruined and the family will be displaced.
Before the war, everyone had their own plans and considerations......
On the other hand, in just ten days, the reinforcements of the Great Song Dynasty were formed, so many years, whether it was war or preparation for war, the manufacturing of weapons and armor of the Great Song Dynasty has never stopped, such a huge military expenditure naturally fed the military industry of the Great Song Dynasty, and of course also allowed the military industry to develop.
The plate armor is becoming more and more sophisticated, the Mo knife, the horizontal knife, the horse lance, the crossbow arrow is getting sharper and sharper, the ratchet crossbow is becoming more and more sophisticated, and the number of storage is also extremely large.
Compared with the original time of disarming and returning to the field, the Great Song Dynasty was much earlier, and for so many years, the Great Song Dynasty had been controlling the number of soldiers, which was a huge and indispensable expense and burden.
Therefore, each class of soldiers will retire on time, and at the same time of retirement, the imperial court will issue a special bronze medal to show their identity, and at the same time, this bronze medal also has the battles he participated in and the merits he has won to show respect!
And behind each bronze medal there is a special sentence: If I need it, I will call it to fight!
For this small bronze medal, many soldiers who disarmed and returned to the field regarded it as more important than life, and they were all pressed in the shrine or under the tablet, waiting for the day when the official family was recruited.
That's right, this is the recruitment of the official family and not the imperial court, there is a big difference between the two, the official recruitment is intended to be the official family's need for them, and the imperial court's recruitment is intended to be the country's need for them, and everyone knows which is important.
All the soldiers are Zhao Zhen's soldiers, and they are all directly under Zhao Zhen's command, he has the right to transfer troops beyond the imperial court, and also has the right to command troops beyond the two governments, not to mention that the power to send and collect troops is in Zhao Zhen's hands.
Military power is the most important thing in this era, even if it is like Zhao Zhen, he can't hand it over to others. A general like Di Qing only has the right to lead the army, that is, to command the soldiers given to him by Zhao Zhen to fight......
When all the retired soldiers received the official notice from the local state capital's yamen, they almost instantly dropped what they were doing and hurried to their shrine tablet, they didn't expect that there would be a day when they would be reactivated by the officials.
On the day of retirement, they packed everything and put it in a light backpack, and because of the habit of the past, there is always a bag of fried noodles ready in the kitchen at home, and they can take it away at any time, and they will never lose time.
Of course, at this time, there will always be the shouts of the father's mother, the crying of the woman, and the ignorant eyes of the children and their applause, all the children as long as they reach the age of being able to speak know that being a soldier is a warrior, and it is the direction of their dreams in the future, but they do not know that their father, who is as powerful as a fighter, may stay on the battlefield forever.
One sentence that many people look back at is: "For the sake of the baby, I can't shrink at home as a coward!" ”
In these simple words, the 300,000 troops converged like a trickle into a tidal tide and headed for Yanzhou and Hongzhou in the Great Song Dynasty, where they received their equipment and reorganized them into the battlefield of the Western Expedition to reap the glory of the past.
