When Zhao Xing got the news of Zhao Yong's defeat, he kicked the table in front of him with a kick of anger, stared at the south whirring and panting, and scolded history, Zhao Yong, and God in his heart.

In history, Zhao Yong's first expedition to Zhongshan was defeated like this.

At that time, Zhao Guo and Yan Guo were attacked from both sides, but Yan Guo was a tofu scum army, and as soon as he entered the border of Zhongshan, he was defeated by Zhongshan and fled. But now he is much stronger than Yan Guo, not only entered Zhongshan, but also completely annihilated the 50,000 troops north of Zhongshan, and captured nearly ten of his cities. has made Zhongshan have to reorganize his army to the north again, and he has contained a part of Zhongshan's troops.

Besides, in history, he Zhao Yong had not carried out Hufu cavalry shooting at this time, and in the face of Zhongshan's half-chariot soldiers and half-cavalry, he was defeated with extenuating circumstances. But now Zhao Yong already has cavalry equipment that has a history of 400 years in advance, and 50,000 well-trained cavalry who have a history of 50,000 years in advance, how could he still be defeated. Why is this history so stubborn and difficult to change?

This god threw himself here, his big butterfly, jumping up and down for ten years, thinking that he had done everything that a traverser should do, and plagiarized everything, and the destruction of Zhongshan has been a matter of course, how can this still fail. Thief God, you play with me.

Just when Zhao Xing scolded everything in his heart, Xu Jie hurriedly came in and reported: "Lord, after Zhongshan defeated the army, Zhongshan Xiang Lao has already gone north with the victorious army in the starry night, at most ten days, you can fight me, do we defend or retreat?" ”

Zhao Hao replied without hesitation: "We have worked hard to capture ten large and small cities in Zuoren Danqiu, how can we give up, of course we will defend it." ”

Zhao Xing went up and kicked it: "30,000 cavalry, guarding ten cities, and facing Lao Xi's victorious army of 200,000, and guarding a fart." ”

Le Yi suggested: "We retreat to Hongshang, choke the throat in and out of Zhongshan, and when we recover, we will fight Zhongshan again." ”

Zhao Xing gritted his teeth and said, "The third brother has a long-term vision, but we can't just work empty-handed. We will empty all the cities we have occupied, take all the people captive, and burn all the buildings and supplies that we cannot take with us. I want to implement the three-light policy against our occupied areas, and I want to make Zhongshan vomit blood. ”

Le Yi asked: "What if the people don't agree to relocate?" ”

Without waiting for Zhao Xing to speak, Xu Jie said ruthlessly: "Kill." ”

With Zhao Xing's order, Zhao Xing's relocation began, the ten cities were filled with smoke and flames, countless people cried, and groups were escorted to Dai County, anyone who was unwilling to leave his hometown, no matter whether he had the blood of the Zhou people or the blood of Bai Rong in his body, he immediately slashed and killed without hesitation. Whoever is slow to move is to be driven away with a whip, and whoever is not fast with a whip is to be beheaded at once, whether it is a man, a woman, or a child.

On the way to retreat, there were wailing and crying all the way, and corpses and bones all the way. Zhao Xing completely gave up his benevolence, and the rest was cruelty.

Scavenge all the materials, even if it is a bronze door knocker, a burial of a dead person buried in the ground, as long as it is bronze or bronze, even if it is three feet into the ground, it will not be spared. Countless seizures were carried in carts, slaves, camels, and soldiers' horses, and marched towards Daiyi like a great river.

Then there is arson, whether it is a city or a village, Zhao Xing's slogan is, the stone must be overcuted, the grass must be overfired, that is, one-tenth of Zhongshan is burned into a scorched earth.

When Zhao Xing picked up a missing Zhongshan copper coin on the road and walked into the Backward Horse Pass, the huge gate of the Fallen Horse Pass was slammed shut, the first crusade against Zhongshan was announced.

The first crusade against Zhongshan failed, which was a failure in the strategy of seizing land, but in terms of money, materials and population, Zhao Xing obtained a bumper harvest.

The copper material obtained is enough to mint tens of millions of money, and the materials obtained can only be described as piled up, and the population obtained is 200,000, how many 200,000 people can there be in Zhongshan in this era?

Zhongshan, once again weakened, Zhongshan, from the peak of its heyday since the founding of the People's Republic of China, began to slide into decline.

Zhao Xing, who was gray, walked to his own position in the lobby, and in the face of the ministers, he immediately straightened his arrogant chest and announced loudly to everyone: "We have not failed in this crusade against Zhongshan, so I will not give up." Now I declare that Dai Jun, with all the military and military expansion, we will rest for three years. Three years later, we fought Zhongshan again, and we resolutely destroyed Zhongshan. ”

The crowd was excited, and they raised their arms together and shouted: "Destroy Zhongshan, destroy Zhongshan." ”

Zhao Xing began to recruit soldiers again, but this time it was not cavalry, because he saw in this campaign that cavalry was only suitable for field warfare, but not for storming cities and guarding, and it burned money.

He needed infantry, infantry who could storm cities and defend well.

Therefore, he used 20,000 cavalry expenses to recruit 50,000 infantry. Remember, this refers to pure infantry, not chariots.

The 5th Division and 20th Brigade were established, Zhao Wuji was promoted to be the commander of the infantry army, Cangliang was the deputy commander, and his 500 Junqiu soldiers were assigned to the team to be the commander of the brigade at all levels.

Then, from this campaign, he selected 500 outstanding performers to be Junqiushi, and continued to carefully cultivate their loyalty and tactical skills.

In this expansion of the army, Zhao Xing appeared with a recruitment system, not only in charge of food, housing, and equipment, but also a rich monthly military salary that was enough to support his family, and at the same time there was a system of rewarding military merits. For a time, the poor people and those who wanted to make contributions responded to join, and the speed of increasing the number of troops was extremely fast, and it was only a month to recruit enough soldiers.

Expand the mint and speed up the minting of coins.

What the? Will over-issuance depreciate? In this era, only Zhao Xing could mint such exquisite coins, and so many vassal states had already begun to circulate Zhao Xing money through the four customs clearances. The exquisite Zhao Xing money is replacing and forcing back the coins of other princes to seize the market.

The princes who have no concept of the right to mint money would like to use Zhao Xingqian. Because, not only does this prosper the market, but there is no need for the monarch to lose money and mint coins, so why not?

The expansion of mines and smelters, while housing the sudden extra 200,000 people, increased the steel production capacity of Zhao Xing, and played a pivotal role in the construction of the army.

At the same time, the scholars of the Hundred Technical Palaces on Wutai Mountain were invited to go down the mountain, to build factories and workshops that were already in existence and not in this era, to promote furniture, tables, chairs and benches, and to encourage the families settled in Daijun to expand the production of their monopoly products and encourage them to export. Let these products continue to flow from the whole world to the county, and increase the income of Zhao Xing's money bag.

Intensive land cultivation was carried out, and people began to be forced to use farm fertilizer. The people had a bumper harvest, and Zhao Xing expanded storage and purchased grain from the people at a high price. Then, Qi Fei's tax collectors all over the world collected taxes in the market, and then, Zhao Xing invested the money in the construction of the army.

Anyway, everything Zhao Xing did was everything for the army and everything for the destruction of Zhongshan.

After being busy for more than a month, Zhao Yong did not send an envoy to recruit him into the capital to sum up the lessons of this failure.

Zhao Xing understands that Zhao Yong doesn't dare to see himself.

Well, since you don't dare to see yourself, then I'll go see you. So, Zhao Xing went directly to the capital after preliminarily arranging the affairs of Daijun and met Zhao Yong, a student of Junshang.
