Chapter 1067 Nomadism and Farming

Zhao Ji shook his head: "Can't you flatten it all at once?" Can't muster more troops? ”

Su You said: "Your Majesty, opportunities will always be left to those who are prepared, and this battle situation deduction is carefully considered by the Military Aircraft Department." ”

"Although the new army can play a decisive role, it is not enough to rely on study, but it must also be tempered by actual combat."

Zhao Ji said: "Isn't the South China Sea a ......?"

After saying that, I also knew that it was wrong, the Jiaozhi Army and the Western Xia Cavalry Army were really not the same thing.

Su You continued: "At present, the cavalry training of the new army has not yet been carried out, and with the addition of heavy equipment such as thunderbolt artillery, our army's mobility ability is worrying, so the strategy cannot be set on chasing the dead and chasing the north, but attacking the enemy and saving the enemy, and encircling the point to send reinforcements." ”

"In addition, our army's logistics are not complete, and the basic logistics reserves set by the Military Aircraft Department for operations need to meet the needs of at least 200,000 people for three months, and this is only the requirement of the first stage."

"And these are not enough to achieve His Majesty's overall goal - if we control the newly occupied area for less than a year, and cannot cultivate a season, how can we occupy it, and how can we return it."

"If the army wants to be stationed, it must have enough logistical resources, and the army will continue to sweep around, and it needs to be arranged according to the three years used by the 300,000 army, this inference is more reasonable, right?"

Zhao Ji was a little depressed: "We can't follow the example of the Western Xia Liao Kingdom, because of the food to the enemy?" ”

Su Youdu gave Zhao Ji a smile: "Your Majesty, the enemy of the Liao State of Western Xia, that is my Great Song Dynasty, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty take farming as their business and collect and store sometimes." The invasion of the two countries is mostly after the autumn, and of course they can give us food. ”

"Even so, most of them carry half a month's worth of grain, and their entry will end in January, and even if they rob the grain, it will only be limited to three months."

"The time when Western Xia was broken through by me was that the time of Kou Luojing Yuan exceeded March, and in the end, the Xia army suffered huge losses on the way to the frantic retreat."

"The cavalry of Western Xia and Liao is still like this, our army can be imagined."

"They are different from the former Zhao, Southern Tang, and Later Shu, they are used to being nomadic people. When our army enters the country, they can completely use the strategy of clearing the wilderness to lure me deep. ”

"To destroy them by destroying the Southern Tang Dynasty and Houshu is to suffer a big loss."

"As long as our supply line is stretched for three hundred miles, there will be countless holes in the supply line, giving the enemy a chance to take advantage of it."

"This is also an important reason why our dynasty has repeatedly missed in the battle with the Liao State of Western Xia."

"Your Majesty, it's still the same sentence - opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared. The construction of Xingluocang is for this reason. ”

"And the Military Aircraft Department also needs to formulate tactics that can restrain the enemy according to these characteristics."

"Don't be careless until the tactics are successfully studied."

"Cultivating war horses, inventing vans and mobile gun carriages, that's what happened."

"Although these are the most conservative estimates, it is only a matter of time before I build and cultivate with the current production capacity of my Great Song Dynasty."

"What I can assure Your Majesty now is that this time may be more than Your Majesty imagined...... Be quick. ”

Zhao Ji finally relented: "Then let's do it now, but it's ......."

After speaking, he also took the baton from Guo Kui's hand: "Xingluocang, Luobianqu, step up supervision; There is no need to wait for the materials in Bianjing, they will be shipped to Luoyang immediately, and it is nothing to take a section of the Yellow River first; ”

"Order Gao Shilin, Shi Luan, step up the construction of Zhengzhou and Shangzhou weapons, and be sure to meet the needs;"

"In addition to the righteous army outside Beijing, the second army of Dingguo and Zhenguo, Gao Zunyu, Cao Nanzhijun, Wang Zhongzheng, and Li Xianjian army. By the way, Sun can assist in the battalion, and the three armies must form combat strength by the end of the year. In addition......"

"Hoarding security, controlling the second army of cranes, outstanding meritorious service, to Kejie, I rely on my faith. Su Lie, Fan Longshan, Su Chihuo, and Tian Shouzhong were ordered to start training in accordance with the New Army Drill Code, and the ammunition and supplies were all issued according to the four new armies in Beijing. ”

"Tell them that I have great hopes for them, and let them be mindful."

Everyone saluted together: "Obey Your Majesty's command!" ”

Zhao Wei proudly put away the baton and inserted it into the pocket of his military uniform on his chest.

Guo Kui: "......"

……

Forbidden military academy field in the western suburbs, 70-meter target.

Zhao Ji stood behind the sandbag bunker and shot fiercely at the target in front of him.

"Bang!" After a sound, Zhao Zhen pulled the bolt of the gun, and a brass bullet case jumped out of the chamber.

Zhao Ji pushed the bolt of the gun again and adjusted his posture, "Bang!" "Another shot.

Su You pressed the magazine with Zhao Ji on the side, Zhao Ji quickly finished five rounds, put up the hunting gun, removed the magazine, and put the one that Su You handed him on the gun: "This is good, it's really good." ”

Su You asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty is angry with a minister?" ”

Zhao Ji snorted, changed from a kneeling position to a standing position, and fired another shot at the target in the distance.

Su You also stood up: "The minister has the courage to educate and the wisdom of Zhang Han, he will only make one move to fight in his life, that is, to make himself invincible first, and then choose the opportunity to forge ahead." ”

"No matter how the enemy attacks and defends, I just fight myself, break down the goal into small tasks, and achieve it step by step according to the plan."

"There is a rumor in the Western Army that the ministers will only harden the village and fight in a stupid battle. In fact, it makes sense. ”

"But what the minister has to distinguish between is that the three words of a dumb war, in other words, are to completely control the trend of the war in their own hands."

"The three words of Hardening the Village are to deploy strategic nodes, strengthen military coordination, control the pace of marching, compress the enemy's space, and ensure their own logistics security. Heavy momentum, not heavy fighting. ”

"If you talk about Xiang Yu, Wei Huo's tactics are like horse races, and the minister's tactics are more like chessboard cloth."

"The posture of a middle-aged man, for elite soldiers and strong generals, is it more reliable to be honest and honest?"

Zhao Ji laughed angrily: "Your Su family doesn't have a middle-aged appearance, and you are not an honest person." Yu Guogong said this is a shame. ”

Su You said with a smile: "The ruler is short, the inch is long." The Su family is not capable of everything, it is okay to write articles, and the military, then it is not necessarily. ”

"You dare to say that you can't do it militarily?"

"Your Majesty, it's really not good, but just stand taller, see more broadly, and ...... Be prepared. ”

"You want to give me 5,000 elite soldiers to face Wei Huo, that minister...... I'm afraid that I can only serve the country by suicide. ”

Zhao Ji couldn't help laughing all of a sudden.

But I heard Su You continue: "But if you give the minister a responsibility, then you are not afraid, even in the face of Wei Huo, there are always many means that can be used." Not to mention victory, at least a defensive counterattack, it's no problem. ”

"Your Majesty, I think that the Great Song Dynasty is a farming clan, and the soldiers are destined to be weaker than the nomadic people, the training is destined to be worse than the nomadic people, and the logistics are destined to be more troublesome than the nomadic people. Therefore, if the farming tribe wants to compete with the nomadic tribe, then this can use its own tactics. ”

"Nomads, like fire, are good at whale swallowing; The farming people are like stopping water and are good at infiltrating and encroaching. ”

"The work of encroachment is destined to be less beautiful than whale swallowing, but who makes us good at this?"

"It's not pretty, it's not glamorous, but it's still a win. Compared with using one's own shortcomings and strengths, and losing even what should have been won in the end, it is always a little bit more beautiful and glorious, right? ”

Zhao Ji really lost his temper when he said this, the facts are the facts, and the facts that the Great Song Dynasty has exchanged for repeated defeats in the past hundred years.

Except for Zhang Kang and Fan Zhongyan, no one has been willing to recognize this fact for a hundred years, and the more they lose, the more they deny it.

Zhao Ji is also a contradiction, and he doesn't want to admit it, but he can at least listen to the reason.

patted the hunting gun resting on the sandbag: "Di Yong! ”

Di Yong came over and raised the hunting gun: "Smack!" Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! "Four bullets were fired in an instant.

Zhao Ji was comfortable: "To deal with them, you still have to fix this." Di Yong played well! ”

Di Yong put down the hunting gun: "With this, the previous reloading technique has been practiced in vain." ”

Su You said with a smile: "General Di is to the point, with well-made and simple equipment, the farming clan can train the farmer into a qualified soldier within a few months, and he can fight against the nomadic clan who have bent their horses and bows since childhood." ”

"The previous Divine Arm Bow, ten shots in a row, that must be the elite of the army, within seventy steps can hit five arrows, and you can stabilize the job bowl of the Fourth Army."

"Even so, it will take a stick of incense, and there will be no more than three shots before the enemy."

"After the crane shin crossbow comes out, ordinary sergeants can do ten consecutive shots, and the five arrows within seventy steps can be regarded as Chinese, the time is shortened to four minutes, and the power is increased more than the divine arm bow with the armor-piercing cone."
