Chapter 287: Solution to the Ross Invasion Problem
Sending off little Moses, Zhang Lingyang immediately sent General Xi, Xining Boma Jinzhong, and the Governor of the Five Armies, Zuo Du, and Earl Sun Dingzong into the palace.
"I just got the news from Europa that the Rus' country wants to raise 30,000 troops to march eastward, what do you have to say about this?"
Although Zhang Lingyang has been accustomed to calling Europe, in this era, Da Zhou is still used to calling Europe Europa.
In this regard, Ma Jinzhong and Sun Dingzong held two diametrically opposed attitudes.
Ma Jinzhong believes that the Rus' country is far away from the Great Zhou, and the 30,000-strong army can reach the border of the Great Zhou, so there is no need to worry.
The reason why Ma Jinzhong thought about it this was that he didn't want to use a sword against the Rus Kingdom, because it would not benefit the Great Zhou in the slightest.
Of course, there are also reasons why Ma Jinzhong is tired of the war.
Regarding Ma Jinzhong's opinion, Sun Dingzong was opposed: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that my Great Zhou should continue to send troops to the northwest border of Wara.
As Xinimbo said, because of the long distance, less than half of the 30,000 troops of the Rus' country can reach the border of Warat, and the logistical pressure is extremely high, which is the best time for my Great Zhou to counterattack.
At least, now my Great Zhou should be ready to send troops, in case when the Rus Kingdom arrives at the border of Warat, I will only dispatch troops in Great Zhou, but I am afraid that it will be a little late. ”
Regarding the opinions of Ma Jinzhong and Sun Dingzong, Zhang Lingyang was not satisfied.
In the eyes of the Great Zhou, Warat is already a bitter cold place, not to mention the place further north of Warat? That's why they judged that the army of the Rus' kingdom had reached the border of Warat, and its combat strength was less than half of what it had been.
Just because others don't know doesn't mean that Zhang Lingyang doesn't know.
As a fighting nation, the bitter cold along the way in Western Siberia was just a piece of cake for the Rus' people, and if it was really arranged according to the analysis of Sun Dingzong and Ma Jinzhong, it would be a matter of time before the loss of troops was lost.
Besides, if you look at the history of your previous life, anyone who despises a fighting nation will end up with no good end.
Napoleon, the war genius of his previous life, was considered a great bull, but he was lost to Moscow.
The German army during World War II was very strong, and in the end it was a loss in Moscow.
It's not that Napoleon's army and the German army of World War II weren't strong enough, but their ability to adapt to the harsh weather in the Far North is clearly up for debate.
On the contrary, the fighting nations have long been accustomed to the bad weather of the Far North, and it is possible that, in terms of real combat effectiveness, they are not as good as Napoleon's army and the German army during World War II, but in terms of their ability to adapt to extremely cold climates, I am afraid that no other nation can compare with the fighting nations.
Regarding this level of concerns, it is obvious that Sun Dingzong and Ma Jinzhong will not understand.
It's hard to say that the most elite of the Great Zhou is stronger than the Rus, but when it comes to adapting to the cold climate of the Far North, the Great Zhou soldiers are obviously inferior to the Rus.
On this point, Zhang Lingyang can directly make a 100% judgment.
Moreover, the climate in Western Siberia is much worse than in Moscow in Europe.
If the Great Zhou could not annihilate the army of the Rus' State in one fell swoop on the Warat steppe, if the war protracted, it would be a matter of time before the Great Zhou was defeated.
However, it does not mean that Da Zhou has always been in a passive state.
Ma Jinzhong has already said just now that the Rus Kingdom wants to conquer the Great Zhou and Warat in the east, and the long supply line in West Siberia is a problem that they can't avoid.
If the Great Zhou could manipulate the Rus' supply lines in Western Siberia, there would be no possibility of victory.
But this is facing a new problem, that is, both Dazhou and Warat are extremely unfamiliar with the geographical environment of Western Siberia.
Although Western Siberia is also a great plain, it is an endless jungle, and even if the Warats, who are famous for their riding and archery, go there, they are very likely to get lost, let alone the people and horses of the Great Zhou.
Therefore, how to disrupt the supply lines of the Rus' in Western Siberia became a key problem.
At first, Zhang Lingyang thought of the Jews, after all, the endless jungle of Western Siberia was mortgaged to the Jews by the Rus.
But then I thought about it, and this matter was somewhat unrealistic, because it had been less than half a year since West Siberia had been mortgaged to the Jews.
Now, the Jews are afraid that they have not yet sent people into Western Siberia.
Therefore, if you want to find out the specific situation in Western Siberia in a short period of time, I am afraid that it is a little unrealistic.
"It seems that this matter is going to be discussed in the long run!" Thinking of this, Zhang Lingyang waved his hand, ordered Ma Jinzhong and Sun Dingzong to retreat, and began to think carefully in his heart.
"Someone!" Zhang Lingyang shouted outside the hall, and saw Xiao Fuzi walking in obediently with his head bowed, and replied, "Long live what do you command?" ”
"Has the Jew who came to the capital a few days ago left the capital now?" Zhang Lingyang asked.
"As far as the minions know, little Mr. Moses has left the capital by boat three days ago!" Xiaofuzi replied.
"You immediately send someone to expedite eight hundred miles to chase back little Moses!" Zhang Lingyang commanded.
"Slaves obey!" Xiao Fuzi replied, hurried out of the palace, and ordered Dongchang Fanzi to go out of the city overnight and chase Xiao Moses along the canal.
It wasn't until Jiangnan that the men and horses of Dongchang caught up with the little Moses who stayed there under the city of Jiangning.
As soon as he heard that His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty still had something to tell him, little Moses did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly rushed back to the capital by boat.
In fact, what Zhang Lingyang ordered was very simple, that is, to let the Jews rush to West Siberia as soon as possible to settle in and find out the situation there as soon as possible.
When Little Moses heard that the Emperor of the Great Zhou was actually for this matter, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, don't worry, before coming, my eldest brother has already ordered his people to settle in Western Siberia to investigate the situation there, and I believe that in less than half a year, detailed information will definitely be sent to His Majesty the Emperor." ”
If the Jews wanted to seek the support of the Great Zhou, how could they not do their homework in advance?
The specific situation in Western Siberia may not be easy to investigate, but the deployment of the Rus' in Western Siberia is not a secret in Europe.
Of course, because of time, this information was not brought to Da Zhou this time.
Seeing off Little Moses again, Zhang Lingyang began to calmly dispatch troops and ordered someone to notify the northern steppe Warat.
At this time, it was already a cold winter, and even if the Rus wanted to move troops against Da Zhou and Wara, they would have to wait for the climate to warm up next year, so Zhang Lingyang had enough time to make specific deployments.
Of course, on the Rus' side, because of the problem of material allocation, I am afraid that it will take longer......
