Chapter 54: Prelude (Part II)
Under the guidance of Ji Kang in recent years, intentionally or unintentionally, Liao Di was very concerned about any military action of the Qin State. This is especially true of the great war between Qin and Zhao that broke out in the Shangdang region.
People are increasingly aware that the outcome of this great war will have an immeasurable impact on the fate of all countries in the Central Plains in the future, so they attach more importance to it.
Rong Yan was talking about the war between Qin and Zhao and now in Shangdang. The tone was even more aggravated when he was unconscious, and his face became more and more serious.
said to everyone: "Son, my lords, in the opinion of a certain general, the Qin State has been attacking Korea for several years, and this is to clear the periphery. The intention is very clear, that is, to prepare for a decisive battle with Zhao State. ”
Speaking of this, he focused his baton on the vicinity of Shangdang Guangwolf City, and continued: "Son, my lords, what I want to tell you is that there will inevitably be a decisive battle between the Qin State and the Zhao State here, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer!" If the Qin army wins, all the countries in the Central Plains will be within the range of the Qin army's attack; If Zhao Jun wins, the countries of the Central Plains will still have room for buffer. ”
After listening to the words of Admiral Rong Xuan, everyone fell silent.
Ji Kang looked at the map of the Shangdang area, his little face was tense, and he said to Rong Yan: "General Rong, thank you for your hard work!" You sit down and drink saliva. ”
Then he stood up, walked to the map of the military situation in the Shangdang area hanging in front of the wall, and looked up.
After half a ring, he turned around and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, just as General Rong said that a decisive battle between Qin and Zhao in this area is inevitable. Let's all share our opinions! ”
Lu Zhonglian glanced at everyone and said, "Son, my lords, from the analysis of the current situation, the Qin State will inevitably have a decisive battle with the Zhao State here, either this year or next year. Judging from what the Qin army did, King Yingji of Qin has been preparing for this decisive battle for many years; In my opinion, Zhao Guo has not realized this yet, and he is not well prepared. ”
When Ji Kang heard this, he really gave Lu Zhonglian a big "like" in his heart. It's too well analyzed, is it? One of the most outstanding strategists of our time!
Zou Yan also nodded and said, "The old minister completely agrees with Lord Lu's opinion, on the surface, Qin and Zhao are evenly matched. But the victory of the Qin State is far greater than that of the Zhao State, and we cannot ignore it! ”
Ji Mao added: "Son, my lords, Huang Yong has sent back information from the Qin State, and since last year, the Qin State has been transporting a large number of grain from the Bashu region to the Hangu Pass area, and a large number of military supplies are also being transported to the Shangdang area, which is obviously preparing for the decisive battle!" ”
Ju Xin stood up and said to everyone: "Childe, my lords, at present, I must prepare for the worst. Once the Zhao State is defeated and the Qin State occupies the Zhao State, our Yan State will bear the brunt of the attack and be under the front of the Qin State. At that time, the four counties of Liaodi will not be spared! ”
Seeing that everyone was so alert, Ji Kang was a little comforted, nodded and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is right for us to consider the worst-case scenario. The battle between Qin and Zhao in Shangdang is about to evolve into a battle of national fortunes between the two countries and even the entire Central Plains. ”
Then he pondered for a while, and continued to say to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, to be honest, I am not optimistic about the prospects of Zhao Guo. Until now, the Qin state has been creating favorable conditions and environment for the decisive battle; But on the other hand, Zhao Guo, from top to bottom, is still hesitating. ”
After a pause, he said with emotion: "Zhao Guo has reached the present, and he doesn't even know that this war is already related to the life and death of Zhao Guo!" The kings, officials, and people of Zhao were far inferior to those of Qin in terms of ideology, preparation of grain, grass and other materials. ”
Then he shook his head and said: "We have no way or ability to change others now, only to do our own things better." We must persist in walking on "two legs" and, while developing the economy, we must not neglect the building of the armed forces.
After the autumn harvest this year, troops will be recruited in October, and the expansion of the army in the four counties of Liaodi cannot be delayed. The cavalry unit should be selected to 20,000 men; The navy has now launched seven large warships. The navy will also continue to expand its recruitment to 10,000 people; The other troops should also have at least three armies of about 100,000 men.
In addition, the training of the reserve militia can only be strengthened, not weakened. Once a major war breaks out, the four counties of Liaodi must be able to mobilize regular troops, including reserve troops, totaling 300,000 troops, at any time and must be able to meet the battle. ”
Everyone stood up and said in unison: "No."
Seeing that everyone's faces were very heavy, Ji Kang smiled and said to Rong Yan: "General, what do you say that my Ordnance Research Institute has obtained the standard equipment of the Qin Army?" ”
At present, all departments of the Prince's Mansion have set up their own research institutes of various ministries.
In addition to the Military Research Institute and Ordnance Research Institute of the Ministry of War, for example, the Ministry of Industry has the Industrial Research Institute and the Engineering and Construction Research Institute; The Ministry of Agriculture has the Agricultural Research Institute and the Agricultural Tools Research Institute; The Ministry of Medicine has the Institute of Medical Drugs and the Institute of Eugenics; Even Su Qing of the Ministry of Commerce has set up a business research institute, and the Ministry of Household has also set up a financial and taxation research institute.
Rong Yan hurriedly clenched his fists, bowed down and said: "Childe, my Ordnance Research Institute said that the standard equipment of the Qin army is indeed far superior to that of the Central Plains countries. But for the military equipment of the four counties of Liaodi, it is a "garbage" and not worth mentioning. ”
When everyone heard this, they all burst out laughing.
Ji Kang said to everyone again: "Don't underestimate the weapons and equipment of the Qin army!" Judging from the analysis of the Ordnance Research Institute, the weapons and equipment of the Qin army are the same as those of our army, and they all adopt "assembly line" operations, and their efficiency is far superior to that of the Central Plains countries.
They are just a lot behind us in terms of the materials and workmanship of their weapons. Therefore, the secrecy work of our ordnance institutes, munitions factories, iron and steel plants, and other important departments can only be strengthened, not weakened, and we must not be careless. ”
Everyone nodded after hearing Ji Kang's words.
At the beginning of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, Huang Xie, the spring of the Chu State, had just led the Chu army on an expedition to complete the occupation of the Ni State and the Yi State. After returning to Yingdu, before he rested, he received a letter from Zhao Xiangtiandan.
After reading the letter, Huang Xie immediately met with the king of Chu and said to the king of Chu: "Now, Qin and Zhao are fighting in the Shangdang war, and it seems that Zhao is defeated by Qin. Zhao Xiangtian sent people again to ask our Chu State to send troops to the Qin State, and they would contain the main force of the Qin army in the Shangdang area.
Great King, this is a great opportunity for my Chu State, and my Chu State should take advantage of the Qin-Zhao War to send troops to the Qin State to recover the lost territory of our Chu State occupied by the Qin State. ”
After the king of Chu finished speaking, he obeyed Huang Xie of Chunshenjun, and said to Huang Xie: "Chunshenjun, just do it according to your opinion!" As long as Zhao is willing to fight to the death with the Qin army, we will send troops to attack Qin and regain the lost territory. ”
Just when Ji Kang was discussing this upcoming Armageddon between Qin and Zhao. In Xianyang, the capital of Qin, in a side hall in the palace of the King of Qin, Qin Wang Yingji and Qin Xiang Fan Sui, and Bai Qi, the general who was resting and recuperating in Xianyang, were also discussing this upcoming decisive battle.
"General Bai Qi, when do you think it is more appropriate for our army to launch a general attack on the Zhao army?"
Qin Wang Yingji looked at Bai Qi and asked.
After Bai Qi lowered his head and pondered for a while, he raised his head and said, "Great King, Weichen thinks that it is inappropriate to launch a general attack on the Zhao army at this moment. Because of Zhao Guo's general, he is also relatively well prepared.
Now if the Qin State initiates a decisive battle in Shangdang, although our army's food, grass and military resources are more sufficient than Zhao's army, it is far away from the decisive battle in Shangdang, and my transportation distance is far; And Zhao Jun has his back to Zhao Guo, and the distance is very close. For my Great Qin, we are inferior to Zhao Guo in this regard.
King, the decisive battle of the party is bound to be a war of attrition and a tug-of-war. It is not only the courage of the two ** soldiers, but also the real national strength of the two countries. My personal opinion is that my Qin State will prepare for another year, and at that time, the grain, grass, and military funds of our army will be more sufficient, and the food and military funds of the Zhao army will also be exhausted. In this way, I, Da Qin, can defeat Zhao Jun in one go. ”
Yingji turned her head and said to Qin Xiang Fan Sui: "Xiangguo, what is your opinion?" ”
Fan Sui also thought for a while, and said to King Qin: "Great King, Weichen very much agrees with General Bai Qi's opinion just now. Since it is a decisive battle, we must think it through, and once it is launched, we should destroy and defeat the opponent and not let the opponent slow down. ”
After thinking about it again, he said to King Qin: "King, in addition to this, we must also strengthen the attack on South Korea on the one hand, so that it will be afraid of our Qin State and dare not help Zhao State; On the other hand, we will continue to do a good job in the diplomatic work of the four countries surrounding Zhao, namely Yan, Qi, Wei, and Chu. In this way, we can ensure the smooth progress of this decisive battle. ”
Yingji nodded and said to the two: "Defeating the Zhao army and defeating the Zhao State has been the wish of the widow for many years. Several generations of the ancestors of our Great Qin have worked hard to govern the country, recruit talents, open up territories, and change the law and reform the system, so that there is the current Great Qin. But what is the purpose of their actions? The purpose is to go east to the Han Valley and let my Great Qin dominate the world. ”
Speaking of this, Qin Wang Yingji stood up and walked slowly in the hall: "If we want to unify the world, our biggest enemy is this Zhao State. Awesome! How many times did my Great Qin want to go east to Hangu, but they were all blocked by this Zhao State.
Since the widow ascended the throne, my Great Qin can be described as "invincible and invincible" against other countries, but how many times I have fought with Zhao State, it has been half the victory or defeat. ”
Hearing this, Fan Sui and Bai Qi stood up together, bowed down and said, "The king, it's all the incompetence of the ministers, let the king be humiliated like this!" ”
Yingji shook her head and said to the two of them with emotion: "I don't blame you, the strength of the Zhao State is indeed far superior to that of other countries, and their generations of ancestors are indeed able to recognize people and make good use of them. The widow has been preparing and preparing to defeat Zhao Guo completely! So...... After so many years, now finally let the widow ...... Let the widow finally see the opportunity to defeat Zhao Guo completely. ”
Speaking of this, King Yingji of Qin turned around and said loudly to the two: "For this decisive battle, I, Daqin, dare to give everything!" It is said that the famous generals of Zhao are like clouds, and the widowed Qin State is also not weak. I, Daqin, have been preparing for so many years, aren't I just waiting for this day! Okay, just do what you just said! ”
Bai Qi and Fan Sui bowed together and said, "No." ”
Let's take a look at the situation of Qin's opponent, Zhao Guo!
At this moment, the young monarch Zhao Dan was losing his temper in front of Xiang Guotian: "What? Do you want to continue to increase troops to the party? Xiangguo, do you know that now the army of Zhao Guo is already 300,000! ”
(Because Qingming is approaching, I went back to my hometown today, so I rushed two chapters last night.) After coming back, seeing that the monthly pass and recommended ticket have reached a new high, it is really encouraging for the newcomer. Although dizzy, I still struggled to add a new chapter, thanks to the encouragement of the book friends who read this book. I will list a single chapter of thanks, and the old dog will work harder in the future. Also, the old dog found that he really liked to write online articles. ).
