Chapter 668: The Seed of Desperation
Sanguan, Han Qi's mansion, at this moment, he is preparing the first battle report, taking Zhuozhou, and the 8 states located south of Zhejin Mansion, if you say from the numbers, the sixteen states of Youyun have won more than half, it should be regarded as a very good record, but for the Liao State, for the sixteen states of Youyun, you will know that Youyun Youyun, Youzhou and Yunzhou are the key.
The former is the Nanjing Zhejin Mansion of the Liao State, and the latter is the former important town of Datong in Shanxi, compared to the Zhejin Mansion, the Datong Mansion is a little easier, but after Yuan Hao burned the Datong Mansion, the Liao State sent almost 50,000 people to garrison there, plus there is no relationship between land and wealth, it is not the best choice to take it.
Zhejin Mansion, this is not Xingqing Mansion can be compared, this is a traditional Chinese town, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there is a famous place.
With Di Qing's previous experience and the decisiveness shown in the Battle of Zhuozhou, it should not be a problem to take it, but it is just how many casualties there are.
Han Qi's speed was very fast, neat small characters, and he wrote fluently on the paper, forgetting to say that these papers also came from the Dinghai Navy.
From the beginning of Zhao Xin's entry into the Ding Navy, the Ding Navy has begun to influence the entire Northern Song Dynasty in all aspects, from steel, ordnance, to ordinary products, it seems that Zhao Xin has magical power, anything, falling into the hands of the Ding Navy, will be of better quality, and the price is cheaper.
After sharing a few pages and telling everything clearly, Han Qi put down his pen, and when the ink dried, he would send eight hundred miles to the capital in an expeditious manner.
Tokyo Bianliang, prosperous is still the same, it seems that because of the convergence of various products, as well as the construction of the railway from Tokyo to Yingtianfu, it has become more prosperous.
In the past, the transportation of goods relied on various ports next to the Bianhe River, and now there is another place, the railway station.
At present, passenger trains have appeared, but they are not the mainstream, there are only 4 classes a day, and the transport is thousands of people, but freight has been opened, and it is gradually climbing to the peak.
From the very beginning, there was a need to spare 15 miles between each train, which is almost a quarter of an hour, but with the gradual proficiency of transportation, especially for the integration of the whole, the current distance has been shortened to 7 miles.
This is not the limit, from finding the problem to braking and braking, even on the railway, it only takes 2-3 miles at most, and 7 miles is a bit too high.
Under the premise that a railway has been built, to improve the overall capacity, one is the speed, the other is the density of the train, the former because of the speed of the horse, it is impossible to have a large-scale increase in a short period of time, but the latter, the possibility of improvement is very large.
From 15 miles to 7 miles, the entire capacity has doubled, the already huge railway capacity, once again improved, rose to an important level, as long as it is not Caoyun so, large-scale materials from the south of the Yangtze River concentrated transportation, under normal circumstances, with the railway, even faster than the Bianhe.
The carrying capacity of the Bianhe River may be greater, for example, the large ship of a thousand stones can easily be transported on the Bianhe River, which is impossible to achieve by the railway, but the voyage of the ship is fifty or sixty miles a day, compared with the distance of thousands of miles by the railway, it is too far behind.
The arrival of more and more supplies, especially the cheap supplies from the Dinghai Navy, which accounted for almost the vast majority of them, occupied the entire Bianliang market, which not only brought more prosperous commerce, but also lowered the cost of living for the residents of Tokyo, if not to mention that the price of rice was at least 10% lower for the most basic food.
If it is said that ordinary people are most grateful for the construction of the railway, for grain merchants, it is hatred.
What do grain merchants rely on to make money, daily sales, don't joke, grain is a bulk commodity, whether it is transportation, or purchase, will occupy a huge amount of money, in the grain down, there are most of the days of the year, the price of grain is relatively flat, which means that the profits obtained by grain merchants are actually quite limited, some channels and background of grain merchants, and even lose money.
However, the reason why so many people are still invested in food is very simple, food will fluctuate, natural and man-made disasters, coupled with the lack of transportation capacity in winter, will cause huge fluctuations, and sometimes, at some critical moments, the price of food will increase several times.
Other things, under the premise of high prices, can not be bought, or wait, but how can food wait, not eating food for seven or eight days, it is fatal.
Now, as long as there is a railway, the tight capacity does not exist, and even Bianliang can also build some granaries through the superiority of the location for reserves, which can cost the grain merchants their lives, and the income obtained by grain alone is too meager.
If you change someone, maybe, you will be retaliated against, but Zhao Xin's identity, in the bottom, that is the festival envoy, Dinghaihou, in the high-level, that is the prince, not to mention that Zhao Xin makes money with his ability, even if he crosses the line slightly, no one dares to move, which has formed the current situation.
In the calm Tokyo, in fact, there is a little anxiety, the Northern Expedition to Liao, which has never been thought of before, has now become a reality.
Perhaps, in the period of Taizu, it occupied a certain upper hand, but did not take Youyun, and later Taizong, Zhenzong, almost got worse and worse, the alliance of Lanyuan was almost the alliance under the city, and the Liao State was very likely to break through the entire defense line and attack the mainland of the Northern Song Dynasty, which finally reached peace with various conditions.
In the Renzong period, the Liao State had always threatened the Northern Song Dynasty, so that the Northern Song Dynasty could not even settle the Western Xia, let alone face the Liao State.
Now, in just a few years, the situation in the Northern Song Dynasty has undergone a fundamental change, and the Western Xia, who was in great trouble, has been killed, has obtained a lot of wealth, and its military strength has improved, and it is possible to take Youyun.
It may be possible, when the war comes, no matter how great the possibility is, it may not become a reality, otherwise, what kind of war will be fought, the two sides will put their strength on the table, and whoever is higher will win.
Even if the Liao State is weakened, even if it is investigated by the intelligence organs of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is still a powerful superpower, if it really comes with all its might, can the Northern Song Dynasty stop it?
The reason why the Northern Expedition was finally decided was that the clouds were just a dream, and the fortress groups scattered throughout the north were the key.
Because of the emergence of cement, coupled with the impetus of Jia Chaochang and others, in the end, in two years, in the entire north, especially concentrated around Sanguan, a total of 2,000 fortresses were built, and in some key areas, one can be guaranteed in 30 miles.
Such a density of the fortress, coupled with the strong defense of the fortress, is the ultimate foundation, not to win, first to defeat, this is the basis of the art of war, in the current state, even if it is a failure, but also the maximum loss of the vanguard of the 100,000 forbidden army, even if the Liao army is a counterattack, it may not be able to take Hebei, maybe, under the heavy losses, it will be counter-killed.
But the 100,000 forbidden army, or the leader of the forbidden army, no one wants to be killed, especially since there are still a large number of elite generals, they are lost, almost the next generation of the Northern Song Dynasty, there are no leaders.
According to the news transmitted before, the Northern Expedition should have begun, and it has been a while, but before the battle report comes back, no one, including Renzong, will inquire about what happened and what kind of news has happened, and no one will bother the front line, unless there is definite unfavorable news.
Di Qing's battle report was transmitted to the Privy Council at this moment, and Jia Chaochang was overjoyed when he saw it and immediately entered the palace.
Within 7 days, 9 states in a row, this speed is simply as fast as a rocket, even the most optimistic general before the war could not have foreseen this, this is almost all the advantages of the exertion, the same, the Liao State is not very hindered under the premise.
With this as a foundation, it seems that the future expectations can be optimistic, for example, to completely take Zhejin Mansion and separate Youzhou and Yunzhou.
The big stone in Renzong's heart began to fall, and he was afraid that there would be no gain, but now it has been determined, and Han Qi has also attached the next measures behind.
On the front line, continue to attack Zhejin Prefecture, strive to take Zhejin Prefecture, take all the 12 states belonging to Youzhou, and then take Zhejin Mansion as the center, relying on Shanhaiguan, establish an overall defense system, and activate the Great Wall.
That's the ultimate plan, the Great Wall, which in the past, was the defense line of almost every dynasty against the nomads, at present, even if it is in disrepair, just the foundation, there is a large range of use, once completed, the Liao State will no longer be a threat to the Northern Song Dynasty.
Similarly, Han Qi is also very cautious, at this moment, he is already preparing to move the command post forward, enter Zhuozhou, and then rely on Zhuozhou to build a large number of fortresses.
According to Han Qi's estimate, with the simplified fortress that can be completed in 10 days, as long as 80 are built in the current Zhuozhou and the surrounding four states, it is enough to hold six states.
The former is a vision, the latter is a basic plate, 80 bastions, or this kind of simple, converted into money, it is only 120,000 yuan, this money, even when the deficit is more serious and the finances are extremely tight, it is not a very large amount of money, let alone now.
In order to prepare for the Northern Expedition, Ye Qingchen has already transferred a lot of resources from all over the country, plus with Zhao Xin's help, he doesn't spend much money in many aspects, and this additional cost, of course, is willing to pay, with 120,000 yuan for 6 states, and it is still a stable base camp, which is acceptable.
The wartime action is almost as fast as a second, as long as a few major members of the cabinet meet their heads, they can basically decide everything, and soon, a fund of 120,000 yuan will be allocated, of course, it will not directly give Han Qi money, that speed is too slow, and the third division is responsible for procurement, and then transport materials over.
At the critical moment of the current war, of course, Han Qi is not asking for money, he is more important to ask for materials, and after knowing this, the navy also guaranteed for the first time that a large amount of steel and cement were transported to Sanguan, and bricks, his technical content is not high, after the opening and promotion of the Ding Navy, it has been spread to various places in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is okay to purchase a batch at will.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, when all the people were working hard for the sixteen states of Youyun, outside the pass, Liao Xingzong was still unaware, and he was still depressed because he couldn't catch up with that cavalry.
After a long period of tracking, Liao Xingzong also left Tokyo, and tracked slightly northward, like a hunting tour, in the direction of the cavalry's escape.
After a long period of tracking, the Liao State also discovered a lot of things, for example, this cavalry is very well-equipped and well-trained, which is not like a northern nomadic tribe.
But this question has always been in my heart, no one said it, the reason is that there is no real evidence, they have pursued until now, and they have not even tracked a tail, there is no evidence, how do you say, Liao Xingzong has determined that it is the Jurchens who are doing the blame, and they have ordered the army in the north to clear it.
The tracking Liao army, not all wine bags and rice bags, they have thought about it, the cavalry is limited, military food or something, there should not be much, at first you can eat dry food, but it has been more than ten days, dry food should be eaten, these cavalry, should need to search for food, make some arrangements, there are traps, and there are some things on the surface.
It's a pity that these have all failed, what the hell is going on, is it possible, these cavalry are all immortals, don't you need to eat?
Of course it's not a god, the reason why the seed has been able to last so long is really thanks to the standard meal of the Dinghai.
According to a knight's meal 4 taels, at the end of a day, it is only more than 1 catty, they are a person and two riders, as long as they can carry 100 catties of things, they can last for 3 months, in the middle, as long as the consumption of the horse is ensured.
In the northeast, in summer, grass can be seen everywhere, for horses, continuous running, may lose weight, but Dingjun has also prepared some protein powder, as long as the horse eats a little more, you can ensure this, this is also the root of their repeated escapes, supplements, has always been a lot.
4,000 people, leading hundreds of thousands of troops of the Liao State to run, it would be a lie to say that there is no pressure, and the further north you go, the greater the pressure, after all, this is the territory of the Liao State, and the number of people still has an advantage, and if you flee for a long time, there will definitely be problems.
If he doesn't want to die with the Liao army, he must find an opportunity to jump out, otherwise, if he continues to pursue, when there are some unexpected situations, or the supplies are exhausted, then there is only one result waiting for him, that is, being surrounded and annihilated.
Fortunately, when he chose to enter the Northeast before, Chong Ge had already made a plan, his purpose was the White Mountain in the Northeast, where is a deep mountain and old forest, the same is the area that belongs to the Jurchen, once he enters this area, let the Liao army contact the Jurchen, so long is the time for him to escape, this opportunity is not easy to grasp, but it is the only opportunity.
