Xining Prefecture, which has been bloodily devastated by the Manba army, is boiling as a whole!

Hearing that the Song army's Beichuan estuary victory was completely annihilated, and three days after the war, it was also confirmed that the worst commander Manba was killed, almost all the people in Xining Prefecture knelt on the ground in the snow, thanking God and everything.

Plus, no one can succeed casually.

When the people of Xining Prefecture welcomed the "Wang Shi" into the city, they all cried sadly. Because they won the war in the bitter cold, the Song army was really miserable, not only did the commander fall ill and fall into a coma. The Song army, which was not adapted to the severe cold and poor preparation for the winter war, also suffered very large battle losses.

Even if the Great Demon King's strategy and tactics were properly applied, there were not many Song troops who really died in the Western Xia cavalry, not even a single percent. But there are those who freeze to death, and there are countless frostbitten ones.

In the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, the so-called battle damage included death and wounded. Injuries do not refer to minor injuries. Only those who are crippled and unable to continue fighting and must be discharged are counted in the battle losses.

As a result, the biggest injury of the Song army in the Battle of Beichuan River came from frostbite.

After entering Xining Prefecture in one breath, most of the soldiers fell to the ground and fell asleep exhausted without feeling pain.

Many people's armor and clothing have been stuck to the flesh and skin, especially the feet: many people are really crippled, even with the full participation and help of the people of Xining Prefecture, but the existing conditions and means cannot even safely separate the boots and feet.

In severe cases, amputation is basically required, and in better cases, necrosis of the toes and needs to be removed.

In any case, even if these people are saved, they will be crippled, and their military career will officially end.

Including those who really died in battle, those who froze to death, the 20,000 people who went out from Zongcheng at that time were put into the deployment of the Winter War in the form of three clusters plus one, and after the whole Annihilation of the Manba Division entered Xining Prefecture, the battle losses were as high as nearly 30%.

The number of dead soldiers was only about 1,000, and the battle losses of the Ma Jinsi Division, which was used as a meat shield, were particularly high.

Of the rest, nearly 4,000 were crippled by the way of infantry warfare in the freezing cold.

In this regard, the people of Xining Prefecture are not only respectful, but also worshipful. No one can understand that this unit can end the war without collapsing in such a situation?

The officers are better, because the officers are the first batch of Funing New Army, and they all have high-quality cold leather boots. However, because the timing of the decisive battle was too urgent, the preparation for the severe cold operation was insufficient, and even at any cost, it was too late to organize Funing County to make enough cold military boots.

This is the ability of the new army built by the Great Demon King himself.

This is also the blood and tears hidden under the perfect aura of the Song army's dominating victory, and the price paid.

But it must be after blood, tears and wind and rain to see the rainbow, although the price is very cruel, but it also officially declares that this new army has completed the trial, and the remaining 15,000 people are the real politically qualified iron army born by natural selection.

With this army here, everyone believed that the Great Song Dynasty would not lose any wars in the future, no matter who the opponent was......

Heavy snow fell in mid-January.

Wang Yan's condition, which is temporarily in Xining Prefecture, has not deteriorated, but his illness has regressed like a thread, and he has not improved for the time being.

In addition, winter is always the most dangerous time for the elderly. If you can survive the winter, you can basically survive sick for another year, even in the future. Now there are not only people who are sick, but also in a state of illness, and his energy is getting worse and worse, and now he has rarely seen people.

Now Da Song and Qingtang are no longer in a lip-to-tooth relationship. The so-called strength is king, and the performance of the Song Volunteer Army in the Hehuang Theater is enough to set the tone for the concept of the rise of a great power. So now the master-slave relationship is completely default.

From top to bottom, the Tibetans basically recognized the military command of the Song army over the Hehuang army.

Just because the old general is still there, in terms of political correctness, the Great Song Dynasty court asked Wang Yan to pay attention to his appearance, and it is the bottom line not to interfere in Qingtang's internal affairs for the time being.

It is not a day's work to be respected and worshiped by the Qingtang army, this work Wang Yan has paved the way at the earliest time, Di Yong's "cadre company" was stationed in the Hehuang area, and the instructors have imperceptibly carried out the ideological work of the Hehuang army in the arduous war for half a year. This is the first step.

You can't just say it and don't do it at any time, if it's just the instructor's words, people won't believe it. However, in the follow-up Wang Yanshuai's Funing army crossed the Yellow River and officially entered the war, in view of the miracle of accumulation does not drop the chain, so more and more Tubo people will believe in the Song army instructor.

After the great victory at the mouth of the Beichuan River and the revenge of the Tubo people, this area has seen the combat strength, will, equipment, and advanced degree of the Song army from top to bottom, and has been convinced.

In addition, Dong Yu and two brothers who are not very good at dealing with each other are also in the Qingtang Army, and they are not monolithic. So now if Dong Yu has any military ideas, he must also come to Wang Yan to report.

Wang Yan was ill and had limited energy, but this was the time when his three sons came to visit intensively.

There is ambiguity in this, and it is obvious that the three of them are more concerned about the strategy of counterattacking Western Xia next. And all three guys want to play as the "successor of Qingtang".

In this period when his health was getting worse and worse, he led the army to conquer the Western Xia, which is of great significance, and it can even be said that whoever Wang Yan appoints as the commander will be the successor of the Qingtang regime recognized by the Great Song Dynasty.

At this point, even if you still have the energy, you can't interfere, and now there are not many remnants of the army in Tibet. The people who survived, they have been brainwashed by the instructors of the Song Army, and they have indeed survived under Wang Yan's guerrilla strategy, and today Wang Yan has a strong influence on them, this is the strength of the Demon King.

Without Wang Yan's nod of approval, even if Dong Yu forcibly dragged them to the battlefield, there would be no morale.

What's more, the grain, gold and silver accumulated in Qingtang in the early years were basically lost, and now without the logistical support of the Great Song Dynasty, the Qingtang army does not have the strength to counterattack Western Xia.

"The Great Song Dengzhou regiment practiced blind felt, see Xianggong."

Blind felt is the eldest son of the Song Dynasty, and he has also been canonized by the Great Song Dynasty, and has a real official position in the Song Kingdom. This morning, because of the urgency of the blind felt, Mu Guiying couldn't stop him, and Wang Yan had no choice but to meet him.

After seeing the salute, Wang Yan, who was in bad spirits, said: "The general doesn't need to be polite, what do you want to say when you come to the envoy?" ”

Blind felt looked strange and gave a gift to speak, and when he clapped his hands, two of his henchmen carried two large boxes in and put them down, and he smiled: "Please smile." ”

The eldest son, who was chattering, opened the box as he spoke, and it was yellow gold.

Wang Yan couldn't help but have some blue eyes, who can say that he doesn't love gold when it's so good-looking.

After Mu Guiying coughed lightly in embarrassment, Wang Yan had no choice but to put away his expression, and said embarrassedly: "You're polite, it's too polite, who are you and me, use it like this?" ”

"If you want it, even if you and I are a family, you have to thank the people of Qingtang for everything that the minister has done to Qingtang." Blind felt hehe laughed.

"Knowing that I have merit and hard work, and knowing that I like gold, it means that there is sincerity, come, take it." Wang Yan smiled like a faint official, and then entered a state of drowsiness.

Blind felt was startled, and hurriedly said: "Hey, don't sleep, Xianggong, it's now in mid-January, seeing that the coldest season is about to pass, the so-called soldiers are fast, and I will come to ask the quasi-prime minister to send troops to Xixia, and I am willing to be the vanguard army?" ”

Wang Yan did not respond, and continued to be drowsy.

"Hey, don't sleep. In fact, it is fleeting, and at this time, we should take advantage of the gap period in Western Xia to deploy a counteroffensive as soon as possible? Blind felt hurriedly took two steps forward.

Mu Guiying was embarrassed to slap him back, so she had to take a step and stop him with her body.

After a while, Wang Yan seemed to be sober again, and he didn't mention the deployment of the war, and handed a few tickets with super good printing technology from his arms to Blind Felt.

“？” At a glance, it is the legendary Song Guojiaozi, and the issuing company is indeed more famous, including Princess Zhao Yunxi's Agricultural Exchange Bank, as well as the coal exchange bank ticket of Uncle Cao Ji.

Looking at the amount again, the blind felt was a little embarrassed, although the conversion according to the face value was not accurate, it was roughly equivalent to the value of the gold given to Wang Yan this time.

"This ...... What does it mean to be a father-in-law? "It's a blanket.

"This thing is common in most parts of the Song Kingdom, and can be used to buy grain, equipment, silk, wine, porcelain, tea, and so on. In short, anything you need, you can basically use this to buy. What do you think about this? Wang Yan looked sick and sick, and deliberately only said half of the words.

Blind felt was obviously a little unimpressed, and it was difficult to trust the colorful paper. After all, real money and copper coins are the most reliable in your hands. If it weren't for Wang Yan talking, he would probably have scoffed back.

"General Blind Felt, is there anything wrong?" Wang Yan said softly again.

"Also...... Nothing too bad. It's just that it's hard for the average person to trust a piece of paper. Most people are still willing to exchange materials for materials, or real money is more real. Blind felt said embarrassedly.

"Ordinary people should be like this, but General Blind Feeling, do you think you are an ordinary person? Can ordinary people lead an army to counterattack Western Xia? Wang Yan said casually.

"This ......" Blind felt couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.

Wang Yan smiled slightly, didn't say more, but said in a low voice: "Okay, in fact, these are trivial things, I just chatted with the general on a whim." These Jiaozi were issued by my firm, and now Qingtang is very poor due to the war, don't squander your gold, general, I will treat it as if you trust me and deposit the gold for me. These Jiaozi are the receipts I gave you, and if you need them in the future, you can come to me at any time to exchange them for Song copper coins. ”

After the blind felt flute, there was still no response, and he fell into thought.
