Xingqing Mansion is the Yinchuan City of later generations. There are also several cities like the stars and the moon around Xingqing Fu's seat of Xingzhou, a little north is Huaizhou, the middle is Jingzhou, the south is Lingzhou, several cities are not far away, within forty or fifty miles, along the Yellow River from south to north lined up.

The city of Xingqing is just to the west of these cities, not far from the bank of the Yellow River. Xingqing Mansion is the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom in the past, and now the Liang family sisters and brothers are in the city, with countless party nobles ready to fight to the death.

The party has 100,000 soldiers to fight? Where can Gan Qi believe such words? There are only 40,000 or 50,000 people in the full fight, but if you want to make up an army of 100,000, the party can still make it up, and the strong men are only enlisted, and most of them are new soldiers.

For Gan Qi, if you want to fight Xingqing Mansion, you have to break Lingzhou City first, as long as Lingzhou City is broken, Xingqing Mansion is already under the front of the army.

The party is actually insufficient, so there are two defense lines, one is in Lingzhou, 30,000 defenders plus the people in the city, and the other line of defense is the city wall of Xingqing Mansion, with more than 70,000 people, of course, there are also people in the city.

Ganqi's army had already been stationed outside Lingzhou City, and the artillery was coming slowly, but it was not in a hurry.

Now the siege is much easier for Ganqi, it is nothing more than "cannon bombardment, Weijia Hai is returning to his hometown", uh...... These two lines are really a poem, another version of the song of the great wind written by a wonderful person.

Gan Qi is not as good as in the past, and it is not so economical to fire the cannon again, and it is a wanton bombardment of Lingzhou City, and he doesn't care about ammunition at all.

It can also be seen what the engineer Shen Kuo was squeezed into by Ganqi, and Shen Kuo was still busy at this time, personally taking people to Deganqi's factory to install and debug the spinning machine, and he was so busy that he didn't go home for more than a month, so that his wife went directly to the construction site to find someone.

To say more, Shen Kuo is one of the few people in history who are afraid of guilt, and he is afraid of his wife and will leave his name in history.

Gan Qi is bombing Lingzhou City, and the textile factories outside Tokyo are also in full swing, Wu Qiao'er is really good at arranging this matter, while ordering people to start buying raw materials at a higher price, while personally staring at the construction site, and also following Shen Kuo to learn everything in detail, and recruiting embroiderers and workers everywhere.

This textile factory, I'm afraid it won't be long before it really starts production, and the things that subvert the times are already quietly on the way.

On the battlefield filled with gunsmoke, blood and fire once again enveloped the earth.

Gan Qi's face sank like water, and he watched the knights under his command rush into Lingzhou City with the dust that was hidden from the sky.

Gan Qi didn't even enter the city, he just waited for news outside, broke Lingzhou, and immediately opened up.

However, within three days, the army had already arrived in Xingqing Mansion.

In Xingqing Mansion, Empress Dowager Liang sat next to the dragon chair, there was no emperor on the dragon chair, and the emperor had already run to Guazhou on the other side of the desert.

There is no shortage of ministers in the Manchu Dynasty, all of them are in the Xingqing Mansion, and at this time the ranks are in the court, most of them are party nobles, and there are also some Han officials.

Everyone looked sad one by one, and they all knew the current situation in their hearts, the party clan, the Xixia country, and the life and death were already here.

Someone spoke: "The queen mother can rest assured, the minister will definitely repay the country with death, there are eight dogs in the family, everyone wears armor and goes into battle, and Song Dog will be kept out of the city!" ”

"The minister will fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death, don't retreat!"

……

Many people regard death as their home, and some of them are hypocritical, but there are also many people who are ready to sacrifice their lives for the country.

Empress Dowager Liang was dignified, with a deep complexion, she had already heard that Gan Qi fought with the Liao people, and there was a kind of firearm that was very good, and now she heard the report of the defeated soldiers, saying that Gan Qi attacked Lingzhou effortlessly, and also relied on the huge iron firearms.

Xingqing Mansion City has become a lonely city, and Empress Dowager Liang listened to everyone's words of death, but she had no confidence in her heart.

She looked at Liang Yi buried below, remembered what Gan Qi had asked her before, and asked her which city she was going to bury Liang Yi in.

Someone seemed to see that the Empress Dowager Liang was preoccupied, and stepped forward and said: "The Empress Dowager should not be sad, even if we all die here today, our party is not dead, Your Majesty is already in Guazhou, and I will be able to lead my party and my family to make a comeback in the future!" ”

Empress Dowager Liang sighed: "The Great Song Dynasty has a Ganqi, alas...... Heaven is eccentric, don't give birth to such great talents in my party. Now Ganqi's momentum is unstoppable. As soon as Bengong died, it was just my party, but I didn't know where to live. ”

Empress Dowager Liang's words show many meanings and realities, as a Han person in charge of the party, she calls me party when she opens and closes, which shows that this problem is the weakness of her power.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess that for the matter of surrender, Empress Dowager Liang does not necessarily count, which is the basic issue of her negotiation with Gan Qi.

Many things come to the minds of people like Empress Dowager Liang, and they are also a plan to kill two birds with one stone. Whether this city can be defended or not, not to mention, these party nobles want to fight, and the Empress Dowager Liang is happy to see it, because the war will kill people, let the party nobles die, and the more loyal they are, the faster they will die.

It is also a way to eradicate dissent. The more these loyal party members died, the more beneficial it was to the Empress Dowager Liang. If the city is defended, it will be beneficial for her to hold power, and if the city cannot be held, there will be little resistance for her to surrender.

Empress Dowager Liang said to Gan Qi that it was difficult for her, which was obviously not a lie.

Now what really worries Empress Dowager Liang is how to maintain the power of the Liang family once the city is broken and surrendered.

It comes down to the question, how to deal with Ganch?

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Liang couldn't help but feel a little negative, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she was already undressed in front of her, but Gan Qi didn't look at her directly, as a woman, what could hurt people's self-esteem more than this?

Empress Dowager Liang unconsciously looked down at herself, what is worse than others?

"The Queen Mother is willing to stay here to fight the enemy in person, and the ministers will definitely die!"

"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, the ministers are waiting for a hundred deaths, and the mountains and rivers will be safe."

"The Queen Mother, the court and the court, unite as one, the monarchs and ministers are united, and they will definitely succeed!"

A group of courtiers said that sorrow came from it, some wiped their tears, and some shook their heads and sighed.

Empress Dowager Liang finally said a word: "The palace and the city live and die together, please fight to the death!" ”

For a while, the crowd was furious, and one by one raised their arms and shouted: "Fight to the death, fight to the death!" ”

This scene in the city really moved the heavens and the earth, and people couldn't help but cry.

Ganqi outside the city is a different scene, there is no big strategy and big plan to be formulated in this battle, and there will be no reinforcements from the party again, and the left and right are just trapped in the lonely city.

So within Ganqi's Chinese army, there was a lot of laughter and laughter.

There are also Hun Han jokes a little bigger, but he is open-mouthed: "Xianggong, this time I have entered Xingqing Mansion, I don't know how many party items I want to take, and when the time comes, those dignitaries and dignitaries will still look at Xianggong...... Hey hey ......"

Gan Qi waved his hand: "When the time comes, everyone will have a share, and they will all be rewarded." ”

"Thank you, thank you!"

"Thank you!"

The audience burst into laughter.

This is an old operation, motivating the generals, Gan Qi has always been willing to give what he wants, and what he wants.

But suddenly, Gan Qi felt that something was wrong, and said: "Don't be too arrogant, let alone underestimate the enemy, no matter in wartime and peacetime, you must abide by public discipline, worry about the difference, and don't take you lightly." ”

Gan Qi is also worried, the soldiers of this era do not have that kind of ideological education, most of them actually do not have any great consciousness, and now the generals under his command are like clouds, all of them are arrogant and fierce, and they have won one after another. I'm afraid that these gangsters will really swell, be arrogant and arrogant in wartime, and be traitors and criminals in peacetime.

Thinking of this, Gan Qi also remembered the matter of ideological education, which is the art of slaying dragons, but it is also the best way to ensure that an army maintains its combat effectiveness for a long time.

It's just that in this era, it is also a problem to give ideological education to military men, how to do it? To what extent? In what way? It's all a problem.

Ganchi frowned in thought.

The soldiers under his command stood up one by one and bowed their hands: "Obey the teachings of the Prime Minister." ”

"Don't worry, we will never do anything that will make Xianggong lose face."

Gan Qi thought about ideological education, first of all, it was necessary to have a set of ideological systems, and secondly, there must be a place for education. It is not difficult to open a military school, which is to teach martial arts schools or something, which can not only carry out ideological education, but also cultivate the military quality and knowledge level of military generals.

But the ideological system is a little troublesome, patriotism is the foundation, loyalty to the monarch is something to be discussed, think about it, the literati set, in fact, in Gan Qi's view, is not very suitable for military men.

Ganqi thought of another solution, but this method had some side effects, and Ganqi had not yet made up his mind whether to use it.

This method can be summed up in the word "nationalism", which constantly instills nationalism, extreme nationalism, and even radical nationalism into the military and Han people.

This kind of thing is very cohesive, but there are also a lot of considerations to be considered. In order to prevent problems in the country, nationalism must be expanded, and the term Huaxia must be used instead of just the Han nationality. Outside of China, they are all enemies.

So how do you calculate it within Huaxia? You have to quote scriptures, all kinds of "archaeological research", such as how to count the Khitans? An is a descendant of Yin Shang, this is a brother, it is Huaxia. Dang Xiang An is a close relative of the Tang people, even if it is a brother, it is also Huaxia.

Of course, this can only be implemented after the destruction of the party and the Khitan and the establishment of the basic geographical territory of the Central Plains Dynasty, which is conducive to internal unity and better assimilation, and must also cooperate with cultural assimilation and the education of Chinese characters and Chinese characters.

Externally, it's easy to say, the same hatred and hatred, one word, is to work hard! A drop of blood flows out of Huaxia, and millions of corpses can be returned......

This system should be extremely useful within 100 years. In fact, it will also bring negative problems, that is, the ultimate nationalism, which will bring the ultimate xenophobia, and in this era when the people's wisdom is not so civilized, it will make the Chinese people treat other people as animals. It is quite a bit of a Hindu caste system, which divides human beings into three, six, nine and so on.

However, Gan Qi doesn't want to think so much for the time being, this set of things is very useful for the time being, and it will be invincible to internal unity and external expansion.

After Gan Qi thought about this, the direction of ideological education came, and the concept of indoctrination also appeared. In this era, this set is much more clever than those slogans of defending the homeland and defending the country.

Even Gan Qi has prepared the slogan of the future martial arts school, and every day before getting up early and going to bed, he has to shout three sentences loudly: "Huaxia, Huaxia, Huaxia!" ”

Hard brainwashing.

Uniting the whole country into one machine is bound to be invincible in this era.

Gan Qi looked at these generals under his command again, his thoughts were clear, and he was in a good mood.

Only the next day, the artillery was transported to the position, and the battle began, and the shelling of Xingqing Fucheng immediately began.

At this time, in the northwest, the stunned had already begun to march to Xiliangfu, preparing to attack Ganzhou. The name of Gansu comes from Ganzhou and Suzhou.

In Xingqing Mansion, countless party members took up arms as if they were dead, preparing to live and die with the city, and of course, there were also party members who began to dig the ground and bury their family property, thinking about how to escape.

Huge artillery is a sharp weapon for attacking fortifications.

But Gan Qi, who was sitting on the platform, now began to reflect on himself again, because artillery is actually much less powerful for field warfare, especially for the kind of enemy with countless cavalry, the power of artillery is even smaller.

Therefore, Gan Qi also has to prevent himself and his generals from relying too much on artillery combat, and face-to-face fighting is still the top priority of army construction for the time being.

However, if a sea ship is equipped with artillery, it is the beginning of an era.

Loading artillery on the ship was not a temporary idea of Gan Qi, but something that had been in his mind for a long time, and he began to think about it from Quanzhou.

Above the city, hot projectiles were like ploughing, constantly bombarding the walls and buildings inside the city.

The frightened eyes of the party members at the head of the city could not be concealed.

Even the Empress Dowager Liang, at this time, also went up to the walls of the palace city to overlook the battle situation, and her face was also filled with fear, this was the first time she opened her eyes.

Liang Yi was buried beside her, and the words in his mouth trembled slightly: "Sister, this ......"

Empress Dowager Liang asked rhetorically: "Can't the city be defended?" ”

Liang Yibury replied in unconfident words: "If you can keep it, you must be able to keep it." ”

Empress Dowager Liang only felt weak, held the battlement with both hands, and said softly: "It seems that I really can't hold it." ”

"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely take you out." Liang Yibury suddenly had great courage again.

Empress Dowager Liang looked at Liang Yibury and said a nonsensical word: "Yiburi, don't worry, my sister will definitely make our Liang family make a comeback." ”

"Sister, I still have soldiers, I still have cronies in Guazhou, I ......"

"No, let's not go, let's stay here." Empress Dowager Liang seems to know what her younger brother is going to say, go away and fly high? Where to? To the Western Regions?

Where can it compare to the homeland of the Han people? Liang Xinchu seems to be iron-hearted, she really doesn't believe it, she doesn't believe that the Liang family will decline, is it really that difficult to conquer a man?

The city really couldn't be defended, even the Empress Dowager Liang could feel it, she suddenly seemed to be energetic again, looking at the south, but there was some longing, looking forward to the golden armor straddle the horse under the seat, with supreme glory walking towards her.
