Chapter 1201 Car Formation

"That old thief Liang, is this the wrong person?"

Su You explained with a smile: "I'm afraid this is what the Empress Dowager Liang meant, Li Qingzhu always reverted to the Han system, and the piles and piles were very similar to An Shixianggong's ideas and ideas, and they themselves were to follow our dynasty." ”

"If Empress Dowager Liang wants to take down Li Qing, the best way is to put on him the hat of a spy of our dynasty, provoke the opposition and hatred of the Western Xia people against Bingchang and other pro-Song factions, transfer domestic contradictions, and reduce the adverse impact of the Liang family's imprisonment of the monarch."

"So this has nothing to do with Song Xia's secret spy and secret war, this is a naked political conspiracy."

Wang Houda breathed a sigh of relief: "Isn't it Qiqi? Then I'll leave him to death...... I even believed in it......"

Su You patiently explained: "The line of Qiqi is too important, so I can't tell you that you are a secret agent, so naturally you should know the identity of the secret spy The less people know, the better." ”

Wang Hou said: "Of course this is understood, so what should we do now?" ”

Su You said: "Stabilize the situation. ”

Wang Hou was a little surprised: "Steady? Isn't it time to take the action? ”

Su You laughed: "Action is action, steady is stable...... You've always wanted to send spies to win over officials and tribal leaders, and these things can be done first, and not only do we have to win over the royalists in Western Xia, but also the Liang family and the neutral faction can't let go. ”

"There are no eggs under the nest, and some people should start planning for themselves and their families."

"Even if Xixia is going to be chaotic, it won't be so fast, Li Wenzhao and Yu Zang Huama don't make any big moves, and the various clans are just protecting themselves."

"Between the Song and Xia countries, there are still a lot of official articles to exchange, and the next thing you have to do is to make the Great Song Dynasty become the party that occupies the great righteousness."

"And we are not ready, the military rations are still in Luokoucang, and the new army is still deducing tactics in Huayin."

"But I estimate that it won't take more than a year for the situation in Western Xia to erode ...... Military Aircraft Service Order: "

Wang Hou and Li Yong stood up and stood upright: "Please descend to command." ”

Su You said: "Limited to the date of autumn ripening in Shanbei at the end of August in the fourth year of Yuanfeng, suppose that the Great Song army attacked the Xia Kingdom. Shaanxi Road Machinery Yisi immediately launched a secret spy offensive, sent a team deep into the Xia realm, probed the factional positions of various garrisons, grain reserves, tribal leaders and government officials, and carried out a strategy of co-optation and instigation, dividing and breaking the resistance of the Xia people. ”

"Also, increase political propaganda, publicize the Liang family's usurpation of power, and imprison the lord. provoked a contradictory struggle between the famous party, the royalist faction and the Liang family's relatives. ”

"Immediately contact Li Wenzhao, Yu Zanghua Ma, discuss countermeasures, give him strong support, encourage them to develop forces in the interior of the Western Xia, win over opponents, and transmit the direction of the Western Xia court in a timely manner."

Wang Hou and Li Yong nodded: "Yes!" ”

Su You said: "Also, Liang Yongneng is a famous general, be careful of his countermeasures, Yanbian Zhulu, strictly investigate spies, and pinch me all those who report the news, except for the counter-room who sent false news." ”

"Yes!"

"The city is the most rampant place for spy activities, moving the city of several roads to the north! Wolf's move to Xizhou; those from Weibei moved to the north of Pingxia City; Yan'an's moved to Suide; Linzhou will not move for the time being. ”

"Pay attention to the fact that war is war, and business is business. If you need to arrest someone, try not to do it in the market, and even if you want to do it, you have to keep a low profile and not disturb the merchants who come to trade. ”

"Also, Hetian Jade in the Western Regions is an important thing in the reform of the etiquette system, I know that you hate Jialiang, but this grievance should be endured, unless you can conjure me up to the best white jade!"

"This ......"

"It's an order!"

"Yes!"

After explaining this, Su You returned to the hall and said to everyone in the hall: "I just received a secret report from Jiyi Si that something happened in Western Xia, and Empress Dowager Liang imprisoned Bingchang and killed Li Qing. ”

He was overjoyed: "Then we can send troops!" ”

Su You glanced at him: "Don't want 200,000 stone grain?" ”

"Uh...... This one...... I still want it. ”

"If you want, be honest with me." After Su You finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to him, and bowed his hand to Fan Chun and Lu Huiqing: "The chaos in Western Xia is imminent, but we are not ready yet, and now we can only pretend to be ignorant on the surface, and secretly hurry up to raise money." ”

"Originally, I had to go to Hedong, but now it's too late, but the key points of Shaanxi Huanqing Road, everyone has reached a consensus, so let's continue according to our plan."

"Before March, 400,000 stone of grain was hoarded in Weizhou, preferably in Ningxia City; 100,000 stone grain is hoarded in Yan'an, and it is best to hoard it in Suide, this is the bottom line! Before you were ready, there was a big chaos in Western Xia, and you didn't have to fight, and you were talking about planting Xiaowu! ”

Chong Yu hurriedly clenched his fists: "Obey the orders of the national prince!" ”

"Before May, we must adjust the strength of the troops, the people, and the vehicles. The Aircraft Division and the Military Aircraft Department will closely monitor the development of the situation. ”

"As for whether to fight, when to fight, and how to fight, then Your Majesty has the final say, I will return to Beijing immediately, everyone, work hard."

"Guogong, can you give us some help, especially ...... Good at science and engineering? ”

Su You nodded: "Yes, you do need it there, wait, it will satisfy you." ”

……

After saying goodbye to everyone, Su You calculated the time and was able to return to Bianjing before the court meeting, so he also went to Shangzhou.

I haven't seen him for ten years, and my brother-in-law has become more and more handsome, and Su You found that this baby has not only turned white, but also become fragrant, and there is a trend of developing towards a god stick.

"The car of Shangzhou, the husband of Fengxiang, the horse of the wolf." This is a slip of the tongue that is popular in southern Shaanxi today.

Vehicle technology, the movable gun carriage with cast iron wheel sleeve ball bearings, the load-bearing carriage chassis supported by steel wheels and steel spokes, and the four-wheeled van covered with iron sheets and perforated are the specialties of the Shangzhou case.

In the Battle of Jiaozhi, the four-wheeled van played an absolute role as a mobile fortress when destroying Li Changjie's main force, and was greatly praised by the military.

Afterwards, Zhao Ji sent an edict to Wang Shao, Guo Kui and Su You, asking for a detailed report on the process of the van battle.

Later, at the request of Su You, a series of four-wheeled vehicles were jointly developed by the Royal Institute of Technology, the Shangzhou Zhou case, and the Sitong Commercial Transportation Department.

Today's four-wheeled vans are capable of carrying a weight of 1.5 tons, and on roads in good condition, they can be pulled by two wolf pack horses or four modified ordinary military horses.

In addition to being a good tool for pulling goods, the Shangzhou case also provided the new army with a chariot modified on the basis of a van.

The wheels of the chariot are made of steel hubs and rebar pipe spokes, which greatly increase the strength of the wheels.

The most amazing thing is that the top of the vehicle has become a retractable defensive shield, which can be retracted to protect it from the wind and rain, and when it is put down during the battle, it forms a defensive shield that is higher than the body.

Four gun holes were drilled into the plate, and the workers of the case creatively turned the gun holes from a rectangle designed by Su You into a triangle, which greatly increased the strength.

The shooter can safely hide behind the baffle and shoot with a crane-shin crossbow, a magic gun, and an ambush cannon.

The chariot's inward-facing skid has a narrow door for crew members to get on and off the vehicle, and the folding flaps at the top are lowered to act as side panels, while the real side panels are lowered to protect the bottom of the carriage and prevent opponents from climbing under the chariot into position.

The car was also equipped with buckets, chains, sacks, and even two axes, two shovels, two pickaxes, two hoes, two shovels, and other tools

Axes and pickaxes can be used to cut down trees, make planks to replace damaged parts, clear barricades, and chop people.

Shovels and hoes can be used to dig up defensive rocks around the vehicle, thickened earth ramparts to protect wheels and bodies, sandbags, and axes to dig traps and set up pickets.

Wooden barrels were used to extinguish fires and drink horses, and even flagpoles were installed on each chariot.

With the van, the Song army has now also developed a set of tactical systems, that is, the car formation.

This thing is used as an imaginary enemy of the Western Xia Iron Harrier as the nemesis of the heavy cavalry on the grassland.

Therefore, the van will not be used independently, but as a supplement to the Song cavalry.

In addition to the cavalry, a large number of servant troops can be transferred with the army through vans, responsible for transporting supplies, ensuring logistics, and cooperating with operations.

After the formation of the formation, the gaps between each vehicle were also used to place heavy firearms - ambush cannons, thunderbolt cannons, and the Lianzhu cannon, which Zhao Xuan newly named.
