Chapter 814: War Sonata
Di Qing's words made Pang Ji frown, how could he speak so wildly about military affairs? But the approving expression of the Shangshou official family made him muttered in his heart, obviously the Great Song Dynasty's wool plan for Western Xia had been successful, and with the cooperation of the Qingtang Tribes, it was not impossible to wave troops in Western Xia.
Didn't the officials prepare so much just to repeat it? Now that the opportunity is in front of you, why do you start muttering and hesitating again? In his and Yan Shu's opinion, it is better not to fight if you can not fight, and not to use soldiers if you can not use soldiers.
War and literati are always mutually exclusive, and of course there are very few literati who are familiar with military affairs, such as Xia Zhu, such as Fan Zhongyan and others, who seem terrible to Pang Ji but are a symbol of glory and glory in their eyes. These are two sides of the coin, depending on which angle you look at.
The complex is the wheel of historical progress, no matter who can stop it, Zhao Zhen summoned more and more people, the third envoy Bao Zheng came, the deputy envoy of the third division Cai Boyu also came, of course, there was also Fan Zhongyan, the road envoy and the governor, and Ouyang Xiu, a scholar of Chongwenyuan.
The number of deputy prime ministers of the Great Song Dynasty has increased significantly, and almost all of the people here have the title of participating in political affairs, except for Pang Ji and Di Qing, which is a means for Zhao Zhen to divide the power of the prime minister.
But what Zhao Zhen saw was that he was good at picking up and filling in the gaps, and the most important counselor was his amazing observation, and he could always find the shortcomings, so as to give advice, which was his advantage, and it was also a place where he could make more use.
All the needers were present, and the "seminar" on the repetition began, and the entire Privy Council was shut down, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, except for the Governors and Vice-Governors and the Governors of the various divisions, who were tasked with preparing all the necessary files for inquiry.
The war conference is the highest meeting of the Great Song Dynasty, of course, it is necessary to keep it top secret, and the topic of the resumption is actually the destruction of the Western Xia, because most of the Hetao Plain is in the territory of the Western Xia, if you want to recover the land of the Hetao, the prerequisite is to destroy the Xia, although the Western Xia is small, but the land of the Hetao is stationed with two warlike armies, the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division and the Baima Qiang Town Military Division!
These two were the most powerful military divisions in Western Xia, commanding the armies in the areas under their jurisdiction, guarding the frontier and defending the Beijing division. If the Great Song Dynasty wanted to recover the Hetao, it had to go head-to-head with these two armies.
The Great Song Dynasty has not fought a big battle for so many years, although there was a war with the Liao Dynasty, but there was no frontal toughness, but Zhao Zhen's beheading action killed the Liao Emperor who drove the expedition in person, and it coincided with the civil strife of the Liao Dynasty, which is equivalent to saying that the Liao people had their hands on the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the Great Song Dynasty did not have a decisive battle with the Liao people in the real sense.
But the Western Xia is different from Dali, not to mention the South China Sea countries, he is a nomadic people in the true sense, a strong country, once the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia have a full-scale war, it will be a protracted, a big war that consumes national strength.
The current Great Song Dynasty is in an era of many talents, needless to say in terms of literati, any one can be singled out as an existence that can be alone, many of them are auxiliary ministers, Yan Shu's stability, Xia Zhu's strategy, Bao Zheng's law-abiding, Fan Zhongyan's entry, but these softness together become the driving force for the Song Dynasty to move forward The use is jaw-dropping, provided that Zhao Zhen wants to control these capable courtiers.
Let these people put their characteristics and talents in the same direction, so as to achieve the desired effect, otherwise it is also a terrible thing to hinder each other.
Now the system of the Great Song Dynasty has been perfected, and there are a lot of talents available in the generals, and the children of the generals have been able to be used by Zhao Zhen's transformation.
It is easy to get a general in a thousand armies, and the leaders who win in these military exercises must pass a higher level of assessment, and only those who have great courage and vision can become reserve candidates for the talents of generals, and then after polishing and examination, they may become senior generals in the army, otherwise they are just a martial artist who leads the army and charges into battle.
Zhao Zhen will not interfere too much in the matter of fighting, it is obviously not a good strategy for a layman to lead an insider, but in the general direction, it is mainly based on Zhao Zhen's deployment, Di Qing has the right to adapt but cannot change the general direction of the strategy.
The war is fought with national strength, and the fight is logistics, Bao Zheng and Cai Boyu, who are in charge of the third division, have taken on a very important task to supply the logistics of the army, so that Di Qing has no worries, and this time the Wenchen who is in charge of supervising the army has been recommended by Mao Sui for a long time, and he admires Zhao Zhen, a person who sees the practice clearly, because he will not hinder the generals after he becomes the supervising army.
Zhao Zhen can see Xia Zhu's cleverness from the battle of Yanyun, he is not a foolish person, the victory of the army is indispensable to his prison army, as long as he cooperates with Di Qing, there is nothing, why not sit back and wait for the credit to fall on his head?
The question of the boss is discussed differently, although there are many generals in the Great Song Dynasty now, but only Di Qing can be of great use, such as the children of the Cao family, and the children of the Yang family are enough as lieutenant generals in the army, plus the rising star of the breeder, they are already fully capable of supporting the responsibilities of the generals of the Great Song Dynasty.
There are many famous generals among these people, Yang Huaiyu is one of them, although Chong Shiheng is old, his younger brother is also good, and his family's junior general in the army is also regarded as a successor.
Zhao Zhen has always wanted to break the monopoly of Jiangmen on the generals of the Great Song Dynasty, but he has to admit that the quality of Jiangmen's disciples is indeed higher than that of ordinary people, and there are very few exceptions like Di Qing, and more can only be discovered through time.
The selection and appointment of military generals were discussed by Zhao Zhen and Di Qing, and these candidates were unanimously approved by the ministers, because in their opinion, these people were quite strict in governing the army and had a good reputation......
At this time, the three divisions had already come up with a supply plan, using the highway from the Great Song Dynasty to Western Xia as a transportation route, and the grain in the liquidation yard was temporarily transferred from the state capitals to replenish the military rations, and the ordnance was the fastest to directly call the original stay in the city of Tokyo, Kaifeng Prefecture.
Because Bao Zheng and Cai Boyu knew that the most mysterious and powerful firearms battalion in the Great Song Dynasty was still left in Kaifeng Mansion, which was likely to be a foreshadowing left by the officials, in order to facilitate the attack on Western Xia, Cai Boyu was very smart to share his worries for Zhao Zhen, and the plan proposed was adopted by Zhao Zhen.
The firearms battalion is a mysterious unit that Zhao Zhen has hidden for many years, and the Great Song Dynasty is fully capable of winning the battle of the reset, but Zhao Zhen still has to send the firearms battalion, because he wants to give them the opportunity to fight, and without actual combat, he does not know the combat power of firearms in this era, whether it is necessary to have a large amount of equipment, etc......
Today's Western Xia is the best place for the Great Song Dynasty to experiment with firearms.
