Chapter 451: Zong Ze

For Gao Yu, taking Wuxi is good news. This can be said to be a stage victory.

The ultimate goal of quelling the rebellion in Jiangnan was to defeat the Heavenly Master Army, kill Zhang Guo, and recapture the lost city of the Great Song Dynasty. After Wuxi was pacified, most of the southern section of the canal was unblocked.

Jiangnan is currently a big city in the hands of the Heavenly Division, and there is only one Hangzhou.

Hangzhou is the starting point of the canal, so it will not cut off the passage of the canal - the fleet will stop at Suzhou.

The grain in the south of the Yangtze River can already be shipped to the capital, which can be regarded as an explanation to the official family.

Zhang Guo was too fast, and his foundation was very unstable. In fact, the Red Dynasty was just a big city that occupied the southern section of the canal, and the smaller cities in the hinterland were still under the Great Song Dynasty - the Heavenly Division Army was not so fast to unify the south of the Yangtze River.

It's just that the canal is the main artery from Jiangnan to Bianliang, and although those cities are not occupied by the Heavenly Army, food and materials cannot travel back and forth between the north and the south.

Now that the canal has been opened, the precarious material crisis of the Great Song Dynasty has been temporarily alleviated to a certain extent.

Gao Yu was warmly praised by Zhao Ji, and he was promoted to make a fortune, which is naturally what he deserves.

However, Gao Yu does not value these, what he values is a sentence in the holy decree: "Qing should work harder, pacify Jiangnan as soon as possible, and wait for me." ”

Sweeping the couch and waiting, to outsiders it sounds like a description, saying that Zhao Ji is seriously preparing to receive Gao Yu triumphantly. But in Gao Yu's opinion, it has a different taste - this is not enough for outsiders.

Because of this sentence, Gao Taiwei was energetic. On the one hand, he ordered Han Shizhong to rectify Jiangnan and capture the remnants of the Heavenly Master Army, and on the other hand, he ordered the troops in Runzhou to increase the siege of the city.

When the news of Wuxi's loss reached Runzhou, the impact on the morale of both sides was huge.

The morale of the Song army is now high, while the Heavenly Master army is all depressed.

From the beginning of the Jiangnan Campaign, there have always been two battlefields. The main battlefield is in Runzhou, if Runzhou is lost, the Song army can directly approach Jiangning Mansion - that is, Jinling of the Red Dynasty, and Zhang Guo is facing a battle to destroy the country.

Runzhou is the top priority for Zhang Guo, so he sent his most trusted uncle Cao Guo to take charge of Runzhou City.

However, although Runzhou was extremely important and was the main battlefield of the Jiangnan Campaign, the situation of the main battlefield depended on the sub-battlefields.

The battles of the various cities on the canal are divided into battlefields, and it seems that they are not as important as the battlefields of Runzhou, but the outcome of Runzhou City depends largely on the battles of the various cities on the canal.

When Wuxi was still in the hands of the Tianshi Army, the two sides of this canal were restrained from each other, and no one could move, and a large part of the military strength and materials of the Great Song Dynasty had to be consumed here, and the pressure on Runzhou was not so great.

Now that Wuxi is gone, the canal suddenly became favorable to the Great Song Dynasty.

is beneficial to Zhao Ji, but naturally it is unfavorable to Zhang Guo.

Han Shizhong can now transport more grain and grass materials to Runzhou City, and the capital in Gao Yu's hands is much more abundant all of a sudden.

Moreover, the artillery and heavenly thunder left by the Heavenly Division Army in Wuxi, as well as a large number of ** shells, were also transported by Han Shizhong.

The firearms of the Heavenly Master Army, in terms of artillery, are more high-end than those of the Song Army - at least the range is long.

Gao Yu's military advantage over Uncle Cao Guo has increased by more than one percent.

The food pipe is enough, and the ** shells are sufficient, so let's fight hard.

Siege warfare, for the vast majority of the time in this plane, is a war of attrition.

Most of the time, it's normal to play for half a year and a year.

The famous battle of Xiangyang in the Southern Song Dynasty lasted for six years. That is to say, Xiangyang was besieged for six years, and the Southern Song Dynasty guarded it for six years before losing it.

The two sides of the siege and defense of the city are mostly fighting attrition. There has never been such a lightning battle as the Guards Regiment.

When there is no generation difference in weapons, the defending side has the advantage of defense - tactical advantage; But since it is defense, it is naturally at a strategic disadvantage - being surrounded and beaten by others, so that the offensive and defensive sides are tactically and strategically leveled.

Since the two sides are fighting on a horizontal line, they are naturally evenly matched, and no one can help anyone.

However, quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and when a party's slight advantage gradually accumulates to a certain extent, the advantage will turn into a victory.

Now the advantage is on Gao Yu's side, and he is practicing to turn the advantage into a victory. Of course, he did not have this theoretical height, but instinctively practiced this theory.

Gao Yu tried all means to take Runzhou as soon as possible, so that he could go straight to Jiangning Mansion and capture Zhang Tianshi alive.

At this time, he thought of Qin Mu and the Guards Regiment.

A lone army of the Guards Regiment penetrated deep into the south of the Yangtze River, not only was it not eaten by the Heavenly Master Army, but it was invincible and invincible.

Han Shizhong naturally couldn't hide the basic truth, and he still tried his best to report the fighting situation in various cities in the south of the Yangtze River - at least he couldn't say that all those cities were fought down by him.

Gao Yu discovered that the combat effectiveness of the Guards Regiment was amazing.

Now that Wuxi has been taken and most of the canal has been opened, Gao Yu thought of transferring the Guards Regiment to attack Runzhou.

Although the Guards Regiment is also a type of militia regiment, these militia regiments were in the army at the beginning of the Jiangnan Campaign, and they are subordinate to themselves, and they have nothing to do with the Nine Emperors.

The credit for their work shall be on their own. Therefore, golf is not taboo to use the Guards regiment.

Gao Yu immediately transferred the guard regiment to Runzhou. But unexpectedly, his order was ignored.

Han Shizhong said that the Guards Regiment had left Wuxi and returned to the Northwest Prefecture. This annoyed Gao Yuda.

Why doesn't your own command work? Besides, why are you running so far, I don't want to swallow you.

But it's useless for Gao Yu to get angry again. The Guards Regiment is not a forbidden army, nor is it a Western Army, they are just a group of militias, and they are not people in the imperial court system in the first place.

They came when they came, and they left when they left, and Gao Yu had no way to take Qin Mu at all.

If Qin Mu is just a small militia leader, Gao Yu can still find ways to get him a crime, after all, Qin Mu is still the governor of Liguo Prison, This is a person in the system, naturally there is a way to rectify you.

But Qin Mu is not only the leader of the militia, nor is he just the governor of Li Guojian, the key is that he is also the son-in-law of the Zhe family.

The folded family can't move. His godson Gao Yanei was broken by the little lady of the folding family, and Gao Yu failed to retaliate. What's more, now the son-in-law of the Zhe family has won so many battles, and then you are arrested and thrown into prison. In this way, don't say that the family doesn't agree, even the people of the world don't agree - they can't stop the people's mouths!

Gao Yu had no choice but to reluctantly accept the reality that there was no Guards Regiment, and he could only use the current strength in his hands to fight.

But he really couldn't understand why the Guards Regiment went to Fuzhou, although it was the old nest of the Zhe family, but the distance was too far.

With just a thousand people, can't you just find a place to rest after crossing the river?

Of course, the Guards Regiment did not go to Fuzhou, this was just Qin Mu's excuse, in fact, most of the Guards Regiment stayed in Jiangnan.

Qin Mu set up the front-line headquarters of the Guards Regiment in Suzhou, which is close to Taihu Lake, and there is a team of Taihu Lake to echo. At the same time, the Guards Regiment was divided into several squads, each squad was a company, and each infantry company was equipped with an artillery platoon, and began to move separately and penetrate deep into the Jiangnan area.

You can't come to Jiangnan in vain. At present, except for Hangzhou, there is no formed Tianshi Army in Jiangnan. A company of the Guards Regiment strengthens an artillery platoon, which is an invincible existence.

Military and civil affairs are both two-pronged. Jia Honghong's civil affairs team was also split into various companies, and they went down to the grassroots level together, to the localities, and to every corner of the south of the Yangtze River.

Every task force like this is a combat team, a propaganda team, and at the same time, a caravan.

With a knife in one hand and wealth in the other, the Guards Regiment wants to establish its own image in Jiangnan, and it is also a field trip to Jiangnan.

Qin Mu wanted to take advantage of this action to investigate all aspects of the situation in this time and space in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. People, land, money, goods, mines, etc., the Guards Regiment eventually had to obtain the data, form a document, and lay the foundation for future actions.

This can be regarded as an alternative "stepping point".

Qin Mu handed over this matter to Shi Yi to be responsible, and he himself returned to Weishan Lake.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces! This is true on this plane. And this primary productive force, to put it bluntly, is Qin Mu himself.

Qin Mu is science and technology, and science and technology is Qin Mu.

This is a fact that cannot be changed, and no one can question it.

Qin Mu not only had to continue to expand the scale of industry, but also to improve the content of science and technology, and at the same time had to return to the future every seven days to pull supplies.

It has been too long in Jiangnan, and he has wasted many precious opportunities once in seven days. Every time Qin Mu thought of this, he felt a little sad - he was too extravagant.

This time back to the next generation, Qin Mu also had a special gift for the golden sand - gentian bright silver spear.

Presumably, Jin Jinsha will cry happily - this is the treasure gun of Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, the victorious generals of the Three Kingdoms. It's not the equipment in the game, it's a real antiquity, it's real!

From the Great Song Dynasty to the later generations, it will undoubtedly make the people of the 21st century feel excited, and the goods brought to the Great Song Dynasty from the later generations will also be cherished by the people of this time and space.

Han Shizhong likes this watch very much. He knew that this watch was much better than the one in Gao Yu's hand.

This watch is the same as the one on the wrist of the fold. Big and flashy.

Han Shizhong now has to raise his wrist from time to time and look at his watch to know the current time.

This is really in line with his words: good minister.

Every moment, he was measuring the hour.

Qin Mu brought more than just a watch to this time and space. For watches, Qin Mu didn't pay attention to them at all. What he valued was the development of productive forces. Bringing a hundred and a thousand watches from later generations is not as good as making a needle in the Weishanhu Industrial Center.

Only mechanized large-scale production can change the world and achieve Qin Mu's goal.

The changes that the Weishan Lake Center has brought to this world are profound and huge, but under Qin Mu's deliberate control, this profound and huge change is silent.

Almost no one realized what Qin Mu was doing, even though they were using products made from Weishan Lake.

For example, the steel tape measure has almost become a favorite of the craftsmen of this plane. As long as they have seen a steel tape measure, they will try to buy one as well.

Because this ruler is so convenient to use.

Weishan Lake has steel that can make steel tape measures, and the shell of the tape measure is iron, but in order to feel comfortable, Qin Mu asked for another layer of wood wrapped outside the iron sheet - beautiful and comfortable to hold.

This kind of tape measure is well-made, and it requires much more man-hours and materials than an enamel cup, but Qin Mu prices the tape measure very cheaply - cheaper than an enamel cup.

Sell it for five cents.

At such a price, even if you are not a craftsman's family, you will buy such a one - it is too convenient to measure the size.

However, once they used the tape measure of Weishan Lake, they had to accept the weights and measures formulated by Qin Mu.

The most commonly used unit of length in the Great Song Dynasty is "ruler", but on the tape measure, there is no "ruler", only meters, decimeters, centimeters, and millimeters.

In order to play the function of a ruler, the length unit is the most convenient to use only according to the standard of Weishan Lake. It would be too cumbersome to convert it to "ruler" again. Because three feet and one meter, and one meter is not divisible by three.

What Qin Mu has been doing is what his ancestors did: the book is the same text, and the car is on the same track.

Of course, in this time and space, the book is already in fact "the same text", although it is a traditional Chinese character, but it is also the same text. Traditional to simplified, Qin Mu has been doing it - the text that comes out of the printing house is all simplified, but this matter is no longer a big deal.

Of these two things, only the "car on the same track" remains.

I have to admit that the original industry of the Great Song Dynasty was very developed - even if it was a handicraft industry, otherwise it would be impossible to have a world-leading weapon-the Divine Arm Bow.

The highest embodiment of a country's science and technology is not in the civilian sector, but in the military.

The Ordnance Superintendent has a complete set of systems and weights and measures, otherwise it would not be possible to homogeneously produce the Divine Arm Bow and various ordnance.

It's just that the weights and measures of the Great Song Dynasty are aimed at this time and space, while Qin Mu is facing the future. All the technology he brought with him was based on the millimeter.

Qin Mu can put a carved wooden shell on the tape measure to match the aesthetic and technical level of this time and space, but he can't change the scale on the steel ruler to "ruler". Then all the information from the afterlife cannot be read.

At this point, the people of this time and space must take the afterlife as the standard, abandon the present, and embrace the future.

However, this is not difficult to do, and the craftsmen of this plane have easily accepted the length units of the later generations.

Even if it was Yue Fei, it was not difficult to accept. On the contrary, he admired the ruler with such a fine scale.

The more precise, the more lethal.

This is true for measurements, and it is also true for armies.

Qin Mu gave Han Shizhong a batch of supplies, including a tape measure. Han Shizhong gave some to Yue Fei, and Yue Fei also had a tape measure.

But in fact, Yue Fei already had a tape measure. On the way to Jiangnan, he helped the merchant Wang Yuan to preside over justice, and then Niu Gao took half of Wang Yuan's property as hard-earned money.

At that time, Yue Fei had an enamel cup and a tape measure, and he also had nail clippers - they were still high-quality.

Now Yue Fei was holding this tape measure, measuring it against the True Martial Emperor of the Heavenly Master Army from all angles.

Length, width, height, inner diameter, outer diameter, everything that can be measured with a ruler, all are measured.

Even Yue Fei learned the Ninety-Nine Formula. This table does not mean that it was only after the establishment of New China, but the Arabic numerals of later generations were brought back by Qin Mu, and there is no such thing as this time and space.

Yue Fei already knew the correspondence between the counting symbols of the later generations and the counting symbols of this time and space. At the same time, he praised the counting symbol – it was indeed convenient.

He used a pencil to write down all kinds of data of Emperor Zhenwu on paper - the pencil and white paper were also obtained from Wang Yuan.

The cannon in front of him was shining with a cold light, and Yue Fei couldn't help but caress the cold cannon body - this is the real weapon of a soldier.

He was confident that he would let the artillery shine in his own hands, and he would never use it like the forbidden army.

At least like the Guards regiment, so as to live up to the power of artillery.

While thinking about how to maximize the power of the artillery, he measured various data of the artillery, and at this time, he saw an old man walking in the distance.

"You are the commander of the Yue family's army?" The old man looked not young, but he was in good spirits, his back was straight, and he was free and majestic.

"It's Yue Fei down there. I don't know who you are? ”

"So-and-so, Zong Ze. The new prefect of Wuxi. ”

"It turned out to be the prefect of the sect, and Yue Fei was polite." As soon as Yue Fei heard that it was Zong Ze, he immediately dropped the artillery, straightened out his clothes, and solemnly saluted the old man.

Zong Ze is famous in this time and space.

He was a Jinshi in the sixth year of Yuanyou and successively served as a magistrate in various places. He served as an official for one term and benefited one party.

Zong Ze's most praised thing by the people of the world happened in the fifth year of Zhenghe. At that time, Zong Ze was promoted to Dengzhou General Judge. Dengzhou is a good place, so the powerful forces are vying to reach out. For example, Dengzhou alone has hundreds of hectares of official land in the clan, and the annual rent is more than 10,000 yuan, but all this is passed on to the local people.

After Zong Ze took office, he angrily wrote to the imperial court, stating the truth and requesting exemption, which finally relieved the people of Dengzhou from a heavy additional burden.

But he also offended the powerful because he repeatedly stood up for the people, and was finally dismissed.

Now that Jiangnan is chaotic, there are not enough officials at all, Zhao Ji remembered that Zong Ze was coming, Zong Ze is a native of Yiwu, his hometown is in Zhejiang, and now Wuzhou is not far from here, so Zhao Ji made a holy decree, and Zong Ze became the new prefect of Wuxi.

When Zong Ze came to Wuxi, he first needed to master a force. Otherwise, what can he do alone? Now is a troubled time, and it is not as good as usual.

At present, the largest force in Wuxi City is naturally the forbidden army commanded by Han Shizhong. But the forbidden army didn't listen to him either. Han Shizhong's holy family is Zhenglong, although he is a military attaché, Zong Ze is a civil official, it is said that a place is dominated by civil officials.

But now the banner of Wuxi Chengtou is dazzling, one time it is the banner of the Great Song Dynasty, one time it is the banner of the Heavenly Division Army, and the other time it will be replaced by the banner of the Great Song Dynasty, and in between, there is also the military flag of the Guards Regiment.

Troubled times, different governance of the world. In troubled times, there are no rules. In troubled times, only soldiers have the right to speak, and without soldiers, no one will listen to what you say.

Although Zong Ze is old, Han Shizhong doesn't need to listen to him. Han Shizhong now has officials, soldiers and money, and Zhao Ji treats him as a future that can be relied on. No matter what aspect it is, Zong Ze can't move Han Shizhong.

Zong Ze is not an old-fashioned person, since the reality is like this, then find another way.

He knew that the team led by Han Shizhong this time was not all forbidden troops, but a large number of militia groups. One of the most capable of fighting is the Yue family army, led by a young man.

Young man, good talker. I haven't been contaminated in the forbidden army, so I think I should have some vitality.

So Zong Ze asked for the way, and he came to Yue Fei alone.

Just like in history, in Wuxi City, Yue Fei finally met the noble man in his life - Zong Ze.
