Although Dahan is said to have a very developed business, there is still a long way to go if it wants to penetrate the entire Jiangnan and play a role in controlling Jiangnan.

At this time, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty adjusted the Shadow Group, Shadow One still guarded the imperial capital to ensure the safety of the Son of Heaven, Shadow Two went to the Central Plains where the Jin and Song Dynasty started the war, to contact the rebels, and protect those hot-blooded men as much as possible. Ying 4 went to Dali, Annan area, and Ying 5 went overseas. As for Jin Guo, there is still Long Xi in charge, after all, in the link of exploring intelligence, Long Xi is still stronger than the shadow group, of course, the combat power shadow is still unique in the world.

Chai Jin was responsible for taking the upper line, developing the relationship with the magistrates in Jiangnan, persuading the magistrates to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, persuading the local Xiang army to fight for the Han Dynasty, and persuading the students to serve the Han Dynasty. And Liu Mingjun is responsible for commercial infiltration, backed by the commercial group of Dahanguo, entering Jiangnan strongly and monopolizing the entire Jiangnan business.

The previous layout wanted to raise the price of silver and suppress copper coins, and it was at this time that the power was really exerted. The tycoons of Jiangnan are invisibly tied to the chariot of Han commerce, and they will either obey or be abandoned by the entire business empire. Businessmen are very profitable, and they do not have a strong sense of belonging to the loyal monarch and patriotism, and for them to be able to make money, it is the last word.

The main reason why the economic infiltration of Jiangnan instead of the conquest by force was that the emperor of the Han Dynasty did not want to destroy the economy of Jiangnan. You must know that the Song-Jin War caused very serious damage to the economy of the Central Plains, and if Jiangnan is disrupted, this mess will not end well in the future.

Although they did not invade Jiangnan, they strengthened their control over the localities and strengthened the repair of the city.

The loyalty of the Han army is undoubtedly the highest, which has something to do with Liu Zhenglong's coming from later generations, he pays close attention to the basic ideological education of the army, and ensures that this army is only loyal to the royal family, and it is impossible to betray the royal family, which is still very different from the army.

The reorganization of the armed forces is not only ideological, but also the coordination of various arms of the armed forces, the coordinated operations of various corps, and, more importantly, the application of new types of firearms in various wars. With the help of the methods of training the army in later generations, the emperor of the Han Dynasty compiled a book and popularized it throughout the army.

At the end of October of the third year of Shenlong, Western merchants finally brought horses to the imperial capital, this time they could form 30,000 Han Wang Wei, although the wealth paid was astronomical, but the merchants of the Western Regions preferred to take away goods rather than gold and silver. Ceramics, tea, silk, cigarettes and other items were delivered to the West.

Thousands of miles to Dahan to do business, these shrewd businessmen, most of them came from Genoa, of course, there are business places, they are not looking for a simple way to make a fortune with war horses, but also want to take away the goods that are profitable. Weapons, firearms are what they are more interested in. It's just that they can't take it away in a short time, after all, there is still business dealings behind, and these shrewd businessmen began to collude with the European aristocracy to plot bigger, and only in this way can they have the opportunity to get firearms and weapons from the big Han.

Equipped with 30,000 Han cavalry plus the original 10,000 Han cavalry, so that since then, the Han Dynasty has four powerful heavy armored cavalry, which has the combat power to crush the light cavalry on the battlefield at that time, which can be said to increase the confidence of the Han Iron Cavalry to meet the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom.

Belonging to the Han Dynasty, the horse sword was finally made, lighter than the Mo knife of the previous Tang Dynasty, sharper, and more practical, the fly in the ointment is that the price has reached the extreme, with such a strong financial power of the Han Dynasty, so many craftsmen can only produce a thousand horse swords in a month, and this is already the limit, but these have made the Han Dynasty very satisfied, he personally named this batch of horse swords, which means that the sword of the world has been made.

The size of the cavalry not only did not increase from 350,000, but was suppressed, and the total strength was finally suppressed to 240,000, of which 40,000 were heavy cavalry. However, the infantry has increased to 400,000, the naval army has increased to 100,000, and the total strength of the Han has reached an astonishing 850,000.

The current total strength of the Han army of 850,000 is enough to fight against the Jin State, and it already has the strength to fight with the Jin State, and now it is waiting for the right decisive moment.

The 240,000 cavalry were organized into four major corps, each with 50,000 light cavalry and 10,000 Han cavalry. The 400,000 infantry were also organized into four corps, each of which was 100,000 men. The guiding ideology of the Han War was that infantry and cavalry fought together, so four cavalry corps and four infantry corps coordinated military exercises near Yunzhou, Taiyuanfu, Luoyang, and Dijing.

The eyes of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty were not on the Jin and Song Kingdoms, but on distant Europe. From then on, the powerful cavalry marched westward, and the infantry followed closely to occupy the city and assimilate it into the territory of the Han Dynasty.

The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty came to his descendants and especially admired the Mongol expedition to the west to sweep across Eurasia and establish a huge Yuan Empire, but of course he was disdainful of the backward management of the Yuan Empire. What he wants to do is for the Han Empire to sweep across the Eurasian continent like the Yuan Empire, of course, wherever the Han Iron Cavalry goes, the Han culture must take root, and those foreign races must be assimilated and become the people of the Han Dynasty. This is a huge project, and all aspects must keep up, which is why the emperor of the Han Dynasty is reluctant to start a war with the Jin army too early, that is, to use this intermission in the war to carry out preparations in all aspects. The seven schools of the School of Finance, the School of Management, the School of Equipment, the Academy of Sciences, the Military College, the College of Engineering, the School of Navigation, and the School of Business were handed over to the four families and the Qian family, the Liu family, and the Xiang family. Of course, the dean is a high-ranking official of the second rank and an important minister appointed by the emperor of the Han Dynasty. For example, the Military Academy is Wang Yin, who has made great achievements in war, the dean of the Navigation Academy is Guozhang Liang Lie, and the dean of the Equipment Academy is Ling Zhen.

The Han Dynasty was busy sorting out internal affairs, busy completing the infiltration of the south of the Yangtze River, opening up the trade routes of the Western Regions, recruiting vassal armies, and building the army. And Jin Guo and Song Guo became a nest of porridge.

The Jin soldiers were located in the north and liked cold rather than heat, so the time for the invasion of the Great Song Dynasty was placed in mid-August, and the full-scale invasion of the Song Dynasty was placed in October, and their plan was to complete the entire invasion of the Song Dynasty when the weather became hot in June of the following year. The idea is beautiful, but the reality is a bit cruel. It is unknown whether the Song State can be destroyed in such a short time, and besides, the river has not frozen in October, and it is a big problem for the Jin army that lacks warships to cross the Yellow River and invade the Song Dynasty.

When the Song Dynasty was invaded for the first time, the Song State was not well prepared, and the Song army fled in despair, if it were not for He Qian and Liang Fangping's military commanders fleeing in despair, it would be impossible for the Jin army to quickly move south and approach the capital. At that time, the Jin army had just destroyed the Liao State, and it can be said that the momentum was like a rainbow and the attack was as fast as lightning, making the Song State unable to resist. Although the current Song State is not as strong as before, after Zhao Gou succeeded to the throne, the army was still reorganized. Liu Guangshi and Liu Zhengyan, who held Xiangzhou and Puzhou, were all good generals, and they led the fierce Western Army, how could they easily let the Jin Army succeed?

Moreover, Wanyan Zongqi's military talent was far from that of Wanyan Zongwang, the second prince of the Jin Kingdom, and these were the reasons why the Jin army was unfavorable in the early days of the war.

The Yellow River is not as majestic as the Yangtze River, nor can it be called a moat, but for the Jin country, which lacks large warships, it is indeed difficult to cross the river.

The entire Yellow River is in the Henan region, except for Xiangzhou and Puzhou, which are defended by Liu Zhengyan and Liu Guangshi, and the rest of the places are in Zhang Shuye's defense area, you must know that this civilian official with outstanding military talent does have unique insights in defense, plus there are 200,000 troops in hand, it can be said that he controls the south bank of the Yellow River to the death, and the Jin army is destined to pay a huge price if he wants to cross the river.

The battle of crossing the river became the first step for the Jin army to move south, and the situation was much more complicated than the first invasion of the Song Dynasty, which is why this time the Jin State poured troops from all over the country to invade the Song Dynasty. Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai of the Jin State was a person with a very strategic vision, and he took into account almost all aspects of the situation before the war, and even considered what the situation of the Han army was, which is why the reason why Wanyan Yanmu and Wanyan Lou were pressed into Yunzhou and Taiyuan was for fear that the Han army would stick a horizontal sword.

It is difficult to cross the river, and the Emperor of the Jin State Wanyan Wu Qimai and the Marshal Wanyan Xian have long expected this and made arrangements, but they did not expect the situation to be so difficult, the determination of the Song army to resist is so resolute, and they did not expect that the combat strength of the Song army has increased so much compared to before, and the generals are more like being reborn.

Wanyan Xianye's 100,000 army was originally for Wanyan Zongqi, in other words, to deal with the periphery of the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and by the way, beware of the Han army participating in the war. Officially, for this reason, when he could not cross the river in a short time, he chose to wait instead of forcibly crossing the river, of course, this also had the meaning of paralyzing the Song army.

As long as it is December, the temperature drops, and the river freezes, the Jin army can easily cross the Yellow River, this truth Jin Army Marshal Wan Yan Xian also knows, the Great Song Dynasty's Zhang Shuye Yan does not know the truth, he is trying to find a way to cross the river in advance, and then attack halfway.

Zhang Shuye firmly believed that Wanyan Zongbi, the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, had landed in Jiaozhou Bay in August, and quickly occupied Jinan Mansion and marched towards Qingzhou and Yunzhou, in this case, Wanyan Xian, who went out in October, would never wait until December after the river froze before sending troops, if that was the case, there was no need to go out in October, it was obvious that the Jin army wanted to end the battle before the temperature rose in June of the following year, how could it wait for two months on the north bank of the Yellow River in this case?

Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, as an excellent military commander, it is very stupid to put all the treasures on the weather, and it is very retarded to wait for two months, therefore, Zhang Shuye concluded that Marshal Jin Guodu Wanyan will not wait until December when the temperature drops and the river freezes, there must be a big conspiracy behind this.

The battle plan formulated by Marshal Wan Yan Xian of the Jin State was also made by himself, how could he be so stupid that the fate of the Jin army was left to heaven to decide, what if the temperature was abnormal, what if the Yellow River did not freeze in December, would he continue to wait. He was waiting, waiting for the news from the spies of the Song Kingdom that if he wanted to cross the river, the ideal plan was to avoid the cunning Uncle Zhang. The fortress was often conquered from within, so Wanyan also bet on the Song generals against the water.

Just when Uncle Zhang was thinking about it at night and had no answer, a young man who claimed to be a scout of the Han army came to the barracks.

Zhang Shuye and Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, still have a certain friendship, but they don't conspire with each other, he is loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, how can he be entangled with the rebellious ministers and thieves, so the two have not had too much interaction over the years.

Although he no longer had contact with the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Uncle Zhang still met with the scouts of the Han Dynasty.

After the young man came in, he said straight to the point: "Zhang Sanjin, a member of the Great Han Dragon Rest Clan, has seen Zhang Yuanjun, and I just came here today to tell you one thing, the Jin army will land in Mengjin, and the guard there Wan Han has been bought by the Jin army. ”

Before Uncle Zhang could speak, Zhang Sanjin turned around and left, without the slightest intention of staying to receive the reward or listen to the reply. This attitude is the attitude of the Han to the Song State, the Han will provide limited help, as for whether the Jin army can be defeated, it still depends on the skills of the Song army, all this has nothing to do with the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Shuye's face was gloomy, fortresses are often conquered from the inside, when the Jin army can't bargain on the battlefield, it can easily conquer the internal fortress of the Song Kingdom, so that the Great Song Dynasty can resist the wolf-like Jin army, even if it is a victory against Jin, what about the face of the Han Dynasty?

In the face of the invasion of the Jin army, the entire Song Kingdom was united in its hatred of the enemy and resisted foreign humiliation. However, when a war broke out between the Song and Han dynasties, it was purely a battle for the throne, and the common people would really support the Zhao family. If it loses the support of the common people and the morale of the soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy, will the Great Song Dynasty be able to resist the Han Iron Cavalry?

"Punish the heart, punish the heart, it must be the heart." Uncle Zhang, who was a little disheartened, could only comfort himself, feeling that the Han army did not have any good intentions when he came to send intelligence, and it was purely a punishment to hit the morale of the Song army. But then again, the betrayal of Meng Jin's guard general Wan Han was fatal, and if it was not done, it would cause the Great Song front to collapse completely. At this time, Zhang Shuye was still a little grateful to Han Guo in his heart, after all, this information was very important to the Song army.

What should I do, directly execute Wan Han and cut off the way forward after Yan Xian? No, if there is a betrayal of the first Wansan, there will be a second. At this time, Uncle Zhang had an extremely bold plan in his heart,

Uncle Zhang secretly handed over his son Zhang Bofen to the account, and he arranged tasks for his son. Let Zhang Bofen lead 3,000 elite soldiers to Mengjin secretly, nominally to help Wansan hold Mengjin, but in fact, to control this Pan general, he will plan and plan, dig down the trap, invite Jun into the urn, and take down the 100,000 elite soldiers of Yan Xianye.
