Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, even if it is the 12 generals who came to the Privy Council, it is the same, compared to whether they belong to different factions, simply in terms of opinions, they are also different, not everyone agrees with Di Qing, plus some special ideas, 12 people finally have 6 trips.

These 6 people, all of whom agreed with Di Qing's opinion, believed that if they wanted to start a war with Liao, they had to take into account the problem of defense.

When the Northern Song Dynasty was just established, the sixteen states of Yanyun were nothing, at most they were just a piece of land, and in the Liao Kingdom, I don't know how many similar lands there were.

But now, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have become one of the most important lands in the Liao State, and even the King of the Southern Courtyard has been specially established to manage here.

Even if it is a nomadic people, after learning from the Central Plains Dynasty, with a period of stability, it will inevitably form a series of large cities, to feed these populous cities, simple nomadism is not enough, the improvement of meat brought by nomadism is okay in the grassland tribes, but not in the country.

This is also in history, when human beings originated, the original tribes, clans, basically in the form of nomadism, but slowly developed, the Central Plains Dynasty is getting bigger and stronger, and the strength is getting stronger and stronger, but the nomads have become another kind of development, with the method of all the people are soldiers, began to belong to their history, and even have no fixed residence, that is, the vast prairie can support their development.

When they were strong, when they faced the weakness of the Central Plains Dynasty, they also became fierce gods who raged on one side, but once they failed, it was irreparable, and it was difficult to even maintain them.

The sixteen states of Yanyun, with the entire Liao country, the best cultivation conditions, and the native Han people, the emperor Shi Jingjiao at that time, not only sent out the land, but also sent a large number of people, these people after a hundred years of reproduction, in addition to the top clans, or persecuted in the Liao country, they still have a good impression of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the other bottom people, they live honestly, for the entire Liao country, supply food.

Such a place can be said to be the granary of Liao, once there is a problem here, not to mention a complete fall, even if there is a part, the rest, will not be able to play a role, in this case, the four capitals of Liao, there will be problems.

This is a hornet's nest, not to mention a direct attack, even if it is a slight threat, it will make Liao's tough counterattack.

As long as this battle begins, the Liao State will inevitably send troops to meet it, and even find an opportunity to invade the Northern Song Dynasty.

In the middle of this, there are also some differences, that is, the method of resistance.

Di Qing and most of the generals believe that the fortress may be able to make a breakthrough, from the analysis of the current situation, the strength of the fortress can be seen, but those who did not go think that the fortress is an unknown thing, and the unknown is risky, rather than taking the risk of getting something that you don't understand at all, it is better to figure out the longbow.

Attack is higher than defense, the defense of the Northern Song Dynasty itself, to deal with the attack of the Liao State, is enough, as long as the first time, the use of the attack power of the new forbidden army, the Liao State of the living forces to build and destroy the Liao, the Northern Song Dynasty to bear the danger, will be greatly reduced.

If there are some women's kindness, then the war will not be able to continue, and this also considers what to do with the real war.

The implication is that they don't care about the slightest loss.

This cannot be said to be wrong, but it is the normal thinking of a general, but not the normal thinking of a marshal.

Before the start of the war, don't think about what it will be like to win, think about it in advance, what will happen if you lose, whether you can withstand such consequences, this is what a commander should do, once you lose, you will eventually bury all the achievements at once, and this is the result of poor consideration.

There are many people who obviously have an advantage, but they have been overturned, do you say that the commander really can't see the loopholes at all? Even if he couldn't see it, the staff below would remind him that most of the time he was too proud and thought that those places were just insignificant places, but he didn't expect that they would become the place where the situation turned around.

Di Qing thinks so, a strong, enough to withstand the Liao 100,000 army of the fortress, only 2,000 yuan, as long as a part of the construction of a part, will form a terrible protection in the north, with this as a basis, their attack will be more fierce.

Not everyone followed, Di Qing didn't care at all, he just needed to make sure for himself, how good this fortress is, this is related to his next battle plan.

Although Jia Chaochang is a little indecisive, after determining the matter, he is still relatively efficient, this matter is related to his future, whether he can suppress Han Qi.

The Privy Council specially mobilized the fastest boats, and arranged personnel to wait all the way, day and night, under the speed of about 20 kilometers per hour of the high-speed fighting boats, every 10 hours, they would dock, replace, and replace them with more powerful people.

This section of the road from Bianliang City to Hebei is also an important passage for the Northern Song Dynasty to transport supplies to the border army, and in this passage, there are some facilities of the military itself, and under the requirements of the Privy Council from above, every 80 forces, a group of twenty or thirty strong men will be replaced, which is absolutely not a problem.

Some generals, in order to pat the Privy Council's sycophants, even sent elite troops.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, if you want to find a strong man, it is still the most in the army, and there is such a way out as studying, and being a soldier is better than ordinary people, and even after ten or twenty years, under the premise of being old and decrepit, and there is no way to be a soldier again, those who have some merits can still be mixed with an official, even if sometimes, it is the smallest city gate official, or an ordinary security official.

For ordinary people who do not go through the imperial examination, this may be the only way for them to change their fate.

The sturdy man, the horn that kept appearing, made the fighting ship move forward at a faster speed, and even maintained the night boat in order to ensure a faster speed, anyway, they all changed a large number, day and night, under such a fast ship, it would not even be much slower than a few hundred miles.

From Bianliang to Baozhou, a distance of more than 700 miles, they took about one and a half days to arrive in Baozhou, and then changed horses and rushed to Miaojiazhuang.

The former Miaojiazhuang has now changed its appearance, some of the things left by Zhao Xin, in addition to the longbow, steel and cement, etc., are too critical, and they were handed over to the Northern Song Dynasty military, and some profitable businesses are still left a little, for example, the current Miaojiazhuang also has the right to sell steamed buns in Baozhou, and no matter how much price others give, they will be rejected.

Baozhou, in the eyes of big businessmen, is really not a good place, perhaps, before the previous rebellion, Baozhou can also be called a big city, whether it is the medicinal materials business, or other business nodes, Baozhou has attracted a large number of people, and commercial activities are extremely developed.

A Baozhou mutiny, ruined, not only the landscape of the city, but also greatly reduced the population, perhaps the re-export of medicinal herbs, there is also a large market, once with the Liao trade road smooth, can be picked up again, but the population is not a short time to recover.

From the original that there may be 300,000 people in the entire Baozhou, those killed by the mutiny, those who ran away, plus those who followed Zhao Xin to the Ding Navy, there are only 70,000 or 80,000 people left in Baozhou, only a quarter of the previous one, and therefore, it is a huge blow to the steamed bread business.

The focus of the steamed bread business is the head, and under the premise of less head, the business has shrunk a lot.

But no matter how little business there is, compared to Miaojiazhuang, there is a lot, it is nothing more than before, one or two thousand a day's business, now three or five hundred a day, for the people at the bottom, and even for the Miao family, this is not a small business, a year, also 100,000.

Family wealth is to describe the wealth of a family, let alone 100,000 yuan, the same, business, is just a necessary supplement, what really makes Miaojiazhuang gain a foothold is in the surrounding, large-scale farms.

After the Baozhou mutiny, because of the killing, the entire Baozhou is not to say that ten rooms and nine are empty, at least half of the people are missing, and large tracts of land and villages are empty.

The whole country is so big, if the imperial court wants to do everything, I am afraid it is impossible, and sometimes, even local officials, most of them turn a blind eye.

But this issue is different, even if Zhao Xin has made great contributions, he has also faked his death and abdicated because of the constant pursuit, which is a huge loss in itself, it seems that the reward for Zhao Xin is already very high, in fact, Zhao Xin is at a loss.

Zhao Xin changed from a prince to a Baozhou candidate, this is definitely not a rise, but a derogation, no matter how much reward there is, what is the use.

In line with the love of the house and Wu, plus the Miao family, it did play a very positive role in Zhao Xin's affairs, after the Baozhou Mutiny, these ownerless lands were personally interfered with by Renzong, as long as it was near Miaojiazhuang, or replaced, or merged, in short, they all belonged to Miaojiazhuang.

This reward is very large, it is not 10,000 acres, it is hundreds of thousands, or even close to one million.

Generally speaking, if you put it on anyone, there will be some whispers, is it really that the imperial court officials do not exist.

But this happened at the point where Zhao Xin faked his death and abdicated, and Zhao Xin is also the nominal heir of the Miao family, and the princes have already retired, what is that bit of land, the imperial village of the Northern Song Dynasty, but the number is huge.

That's it, it has long been such a wonderful place in Baozhou Miaojiazhuang, and Miaojiazhuang is no longer an ordinary huge.

At this time, Miaojiazhuang already has 27 villages of all sizes, a huge village with 800,000 acres of land, the location that originally belonged to Miaojiazhuang has become the focus, where it has now become a central area, larger than the town, but there is no city wall, it is not a city.

On the original foundation, the expansion was carried out, and the original wall was cleared, with the vicinity of the fortress as the core.

A large fortress is enough to withstand the attack of 10,000 forbidden troops, as long as this place is guarded, what thieves can break through.

Itself, after realizing the benefits of this fortress, the military itself wants to recover this fortress, but after looking at it for a long time, it is not a low strategy, and there is no need to defend anything, and it is not cost-effective to waste the army here.

This is also the advantage of defensive facilities, his attack power is not strong, as long as he is not entrenched.

Miaojiazhuang is qualified for group training, even if it is only the standard of 800 people, but 800 trained group training is generally enough, and it is really combined with the fortress, and the power is really not small.

In this way, before the large-scale establishment of the fortress in the north, the only fortress was so grandly located in Miaojiazhuang and became the station of the regimental training, and, from this day on, the entire Baozhou, and even several states around Baozhou, the strongest defense was not the state capital, but Miaojiazhuang.

In fact, more than a hundred years later, under a turmoil, this century-old fortress still played a huge role, and the years could not carve traces on his body, and when all kinds of war equipment were reactivated, he showed his grandeur again.

When Di Qing and the others arrived, what they saw was the scene where the group trainers came up to practice.

Hundreds of people, gathered on the playground, shouting trumpets, it was really lively, and there were a lot of people around who watched the excitement, Di Qing, who didn't care about it, was slightly taken aback when he saw the longbow being taken into their hands, even the Privy Council was not popularized, but it was popularized by group training, is this a joke.

Next to him, the official who came from Baozhou heard Di Qing's questioning and quickly explained, only then did he know that the longbow and the fortress themselves appeared in Miaojiazhuang and were created by Dinghaihou in the past.

Di Qing thought of this, he was in a hurry at the time, but he saw that the fortress originated from Miaojiazhuang, but he didn't expect the longbow to be the same, so he had to take a good look.

Because Miaojiazhuang itself has a tradition of longbows, several captains are old people who used to practice in the group, plus the longbow is really cheap, equipped with 700 people, the cost is not large, and the longbow is mainly used here.

is slightly different from the Privy Council training, Miao Jiazhuang's longbow, rooted in Miao Hong, is from Zhao Xin's first-hand information, and with the Privy Council, Han Qi has passed one hand, the northwest has passed another hand, and the Privy Council has another hand, in the middle, the general things are almost the same, but the subtle differences are big.

Looking at it from the perspective of ordinary people, that is, to see the excitement, Di Qing who they are, the strongest generals in the Northern Song Dynasty, along the way, they have nothing to do, and they also discussed the longbow, which is a new thing for any of them, and they must always summarize the training methods and combat methods according to their own understanding.

However, after watching the training of the group training, they realized that they had become frogs at the bottom of the well again, and many of their ideas had been trained by the group training here, and some of them even inspired them a lot.
