Chapter 116: The Great Song Field Army

Zhao Yunrang didn't even return to Biluo Villa, so he directly began to deploy troops in the Zhou Palace.

The transfer of troops in the Great Song Dynasty was actually a relatively complicated issue.

Because at the beginning, in order not to repeat the mistakes of the past, Zhao Kuangyin listened to Zhao Pu's suggestion and made a glass of wine to release the military power.

As a result, there was a situation in which the generals did not know the soldiers, and the soldiers did not know the generals.

Although at this time, the emperor directly controlled the construction, mobilization and command of the army.

But in fact, the emperor is not very clear, to put it mildly, what Zhao Zhen saw was basically data.

And those forbidden troops in the palace are basically children of the family.

Although force or something is good, but if you really want to fight, you don't know what will happen.

Under the emperor, the military power is divided into three parts, which is also to better clamp each other.

The privy councillor is in charge of the military registration and tiger charm, and the three yamen are in charge of the armies, and the ministers are in charge of the troops, each with its own guard.

To put it simply, the Privy Council is the highest military administrative organ, which directly adheres to the emperor's will and dispatches the whole team.

The Privy Council is responsible for the government decrees in charge of military affairs, military defense, border preparation, and horses, the guards on duty, and the recruitment of internal and external forbidden soldiers, parades, relocation, cantonment, and rewards and punishments.

The Privy Council has a Privy Council, a deputy envoy, etc. - the Privy Council envoy Qian Weiyan is the supreme officer.

However, although the Privy Council is in charge of everything, it has no contact with the army, which is the basis for the management to know the soldiers.

And the three Ya are the front division of the palace, the guard horse military division and the guard infantry military division.

The whole country is divided into forbidden soldiers and box soldiers, and each has a commander, a deputy commander, and a waiter, etc., and the status is lower than that of the Privy Councillor.

In other words, the Sanya is in charge of the army, but it is not as powerful as the Privy Council.

Moreover, the two have their own emphasis, and the Privy Council and the Sanya have the power to issue troops and manage the troops respectively, and check each other.

The so-called commanders are in charge of the armies of the same division in the same place in peacetime.

During the war, the army was transferred by the Privy Council, and the emperor temporarily sent a commander (leading a minister) to give him the titles of capital deployment and recruitment envoy, and led the army to the battle, and returned to the garrison after the battle.

In this way, the soldiers will be separated, and the troops will not be specialized.

As for the military department, it is only in charge of matters such as honor guards, martial arts, and the selection of soldiers, and when it comes to the actual war, they have nothing to do.

The army mainly consisted of forbidden soldiers, box soldiers, and township soldiers, and in the border areas, there were also Tibetan soldiers.

The Tibetan soldiers are armed groups composed of ethnic minorities in the northern and northwest frontiers.

The task is mainly to guard the border, and the organization varies from tribe to tribe, and they are familiar with the border situation and are brave and good at fighting.

However, Zhao Yunrang didn't dare to use it, the soldiers in this place were too close to the border, and it was difficult to select them at all.

In case a spy lurks inside, it's in trouble.

Forget about the township soldiers, they are basically local soldiers, and border operations are not suitable for them.

In this case, the transfer of troops can only be the mobilization of the forbidden army and the box army.

The forbidden army is the main force of the army, with more than one million soldiers, and the main task is to "defend the Beijing division and prepare for the conquest".

In addition to the divisions stationed in Beijing, they also went to the border areas or rushed to important places to defend them, and they rotated once every one or two years.

Even if the soldiers go back and forth to get used to the hard work, they will also make the soldiers ignorant of the generals and will have no special troops, so as to prevent armed secession or rebellion.

The box soldier is also nominally a standing army, but in fact it is a full-time labor force.

Zhao Yunrang thought about it again and again and decided to mobilize all the teams from the forbidden army for this expedition.

The army of the Great Song Dynasty is very sufficient, the country is rich, and it is not difficult to raise some troops.

As for the box soldiers, all the labor logistics were drawn from the box army, and it was specified that they should be physically strong and have strong combat effectiveness.

On the one hand, fighting a war is to fight logistics, and on the other hand, it can be used as a source of troops at any time to replenish it.

At this time, the war was different from modern times, and after ten years of fighting, thousands of casualties were shocked.

If you fight a random battle, you will have casualties of more than 10,000 units.

Zhao Yunrang took Zhao Zhen's will, and there were several wills.

There are those in the Privy Council, and there are those who are tried, and there are those who are given to him.

The first two are for the transfer of troops, and the one given to him is a letter of appointment.

Well, that's what Zhao Yunrang thinks.

It was easy to get the appointment from the Privy Council, and he usually didn't deal with Zhao Yunrang very much, and Qian Weiyan, who always sang the opposite, didn't make it difficult at all.

Zhao Yunrang felt that in the future, it was better not to look at the old man with colored glasses, it was very powerful at the critical moment.

Moreover, he also secretly told Zhao Yunrang where the forbidden army was strong.

The army transferred this time is the most elite forbidden army.

In addition to the role of guarding Gyeonggi, the main role of this forbidden army is to serve as the main military reserve.

To put it bluntly, this is the most powerful group field army in the Great Song Dynasty.

Sanya's thinking is exactly the same as Qian Weiyan's, he didn't hide it at all, and the choices he gave were all the strongest in combat.

This shows the quality.

Although they are a little cautious on weekdays, they are not ambiguous when the national disaster is at hand.

Sanya even had a few commanders patting their chests and saying that as long as the rabbit cub under his command dared to be disobedient, he would be killed directly.

I have to sit at home when I go back.

Zhao Yun let his head break out in a cold sweat, yes, at this time, it is the era when one person is convicted and the nine clans are wiped out!

The mobilized army, part of which was transferred directly from the vicinity of Bianliang, was the most powerful forbidden army.

The rest are mainly the army of Shaanxi.

Because it can be consumed a lot.

In this era, the road is far away, and the food cannot be transported because there is not enough to consume on the road.

The forbidden army in Gyeonggi had two characteristics, the first was the most powerful army, and the second army had many children of ministers.

This is very important, Zhao Yunrang made a rough count, and there were at least more than 100 direct descendants.

As for the related, there must be thousands.

None of them came to intercede, saying that they were sick and could not go to the front line.

Then again, it is a capital offense to run away from the battle.

In addition to the team that Zhao Yuanyan equipped him, Zhao Yunrang also specially asked Zhao Zhen for a few people.

Including Shi Lei, including the little marquis Xu Zhicheng, including Ling Xiao.

Yan Zhao also wanted to come, but because he still needed to maintain the security of the capital, Zhao Yunrang gave him no, at this time, the capital cannot be chaotic, and the people who do the best must be left.

On the way back, he had already sent a person to bring Yeonjang back, and even two people from Yangsan, Jeju.

Ling Hun and Ling Wen'er also arrived directly at their posts, stepped up the production of gunpowder, checked all the reserves, and were ready to call them at any time.

In addition to these cutting-edge gunpowders, all armaments, including armor, ordnance, and especially weapons, were investigated and overhauled in coordination with the Ministry of War.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

This armament must not be sloppy.

I have to say that Da Song has actually done a good job in this regard.

Although it is said that the military strength is weak due to the release of military power with a glass of wine, it is because of the fierce eyesight of the Great Liao and Western Xia, which has always had good reserves in the military sector in recent years.

After all, science is the primary productive force, and the advanced productive forces of the Great Song Dynasty have ensured that the armor and weapons that can be manufactured in iron smelting are the most sophisticated.

Western Xia and Daliao, in fact, the reserves of coal and ore are good, but because the smelting technology cannot keep up, they cannot be the same as the Great Song Dynasty.

The army, ordnance, grain and grass, logistics, Zhao Yunrang has personally passed through it.

Although I am not a professional, I always have to advise a professional.

There are some modern knowledge, and they are also taught to those professionals in the middle.

These modern military common sense, which has been flooded on Baidu, once it reaches the ears of these professionals, it is Daigo empowerment!

One by one, what admired Zhao Yunrang was the five-body throw.

hasn't sent troops yet, Zhao Yunrang is simply a natural general, and the reputation of the heavenly general has been widely spread.

Not to mention anything else, if Zhao Zhen hears it, he will feel wronged by Zhao Yun if he is not even promoted to the third level.

Those ministers who were still a little dissatisfied with Zhao Zhen handing over such a major matter to Zhao Yunrang shut up now.

After all, the Wenchen of the Great Song Dynasty are actually small military experts.

The troops mobilized from the capital this time were not as many as expected.

Although it is said that the army of the Northern Song Dynasty adds up to hundreds of thousands.

However, most of them are still distributed in the frontiers, in important economic towns and military key places.

A total of 80,000 troops were given to him for this transfer.

Eighty thousand troops is not a small number.

You can't let Zhao Zhen become the commander of the light pole, right?

The 80,000 army, together with the army in charge of logistics and heavy grain and grass, is at least 100,000 people.
