Chapter 1223: Militarism VI
"Since most of the 14 generals of the new army can't move, how can they crusade against the Cochin Kingdom?"
Yu Shen was a little confused, and asked Su Shi in a daze.
"In the crusade against Jiaozhi, it is not necessary to transfer the existing new generals, but only to transfer hundreds of officers, and then order the Sea Route City Shipping Department to raise food and troop carriers."
"How can you fight without soldiers?"
"Just go to the east and west roads of Guangnan to raise money." Su Chi said, "With 30 battalions of soldiers, plus the warships of the Sea Route City Ship Control Division, it is enough to defeat Jiaozhi." ”
The plan to attack Jiaozhi was all made by a group of young military planes in the military engine room of the Privy Council.
It's very simple, that is, to send officers who can form 30 battalions to the south to recruit soldiers - the Martial Arts Academy is modeled after the Knight Academy, so naturally everything is learned from the Zhou army. Therefore, the battalion referred to in the military engine room is also the standard infantry battalion of the Zhou army, each battalion includes more than 800 baggage soldiers, divided into 5 teams, and equipped with 18 officers. 30 battalions can arrange 480 officers, plus a military aircraft department to assist Zhang Xiaochun (this is a civilian official), almost 500 young and strong officers can be pulled.
After all, I can let this young and strong officer see hope! When they have hope, the court can rest assured...... And if these people want to settle Jiaozhi, then the prestige of the imperial court will naturally rise, and they will be able to play an elite.
If they were repaired, the court would have less internal troubles...... Other young officers know how many pounds and taels they have!
"Go to Guangnan East and West Road to raise money?" Yu Shen asked, "Can it work?" ”
"It's not a big problem," Su Chi said, "The east and west roads of Guangnan are wild places, and the people are already strong, and the mountainous areas over there are very poor, and you can't see a few dollars all year round." So it must be very easy to recruit soldiers, and you can also recruit good soldiers. ”
Su Chi had stayed in Guangdong for many years and knew the situation there well, so he said that he was the first to go.
"Who's going to raise it?"
"Naturally, whoever leads the troops will recruit them." Su Chi said, "It is enough to cooperate with the east and west roads of Guangnan." ”
"Recruited by Jang Yong-seok? Isn't that right? Cai Jing, who had not spoken until the meeting of the two governments, finally spoke at this time.
"It was not recruited by Zhang Yongxi, but by the battalion generals and team generals below." Su Chi said. "Let them recruit and train themselves, and take them to the battlefield on their own."
"How can this work? This is out of order! Cai Jing frowned, "Isn't this a soldier?" ”
"There are 800 people in a battalion, and there is more than one officer, 18 people in total, how much can each person get?" Su Chi sighed, "Actually, the soldiers have such a thing, and they have been arguing since more than ten years ago when Murong forgot his worries...... Can we learn from Zhou Guo and Hexi to engage in so many field soldiers. The soldiers who did not grant the land could not fight at all, and always fled.
There are many soldiers recruited by the state government who can't fight, and at most they look good.
After thinking about it, it was still feasible for Murong to forget the suggestion back then, and delegate the power of recruiting troops to the battalion officers, so that they could recruit and train by themselves...... If you don't do a good job in recruiting and training troops, you will lose your life on the battlefield. ”
Not to mention, although this kind of "small package" military behavior is not the best plan, it is also a sub-optimal case. It is especially suitable for a country like the Great Song Dynasty.
"The old man doesn't approve of this!" Cai Jing is now the "old party", so he naturally has to stick to the ancestral family law.
"Then let the officials decide, right?"
"It's fine." Cai Jing nodded and did not propose a vote between the two governments.
If there is to be a vote, most of the opinions put forward by Su Chi will not be passed.
But Cai Jing and Yu Shen really couldn't come up with any better way. Just trouble the officials.
"What about Hexi?" Yu Shen asked, "Do you really want to ask for the opinions of the Western Army and the Shuofang Army?" ”
Cai Jing waved his hand, "What are you asking for?" This is the power of the two governments, how can it be delegated to the Western Army and the Shuofang Army. He paused, "Let's take a look first, isn't Zhang Li's guy going to fight Qingtang?" If you win a battle, then don't worry much. If the war cannot be won, the imperial court will consider sending troops again. ”
Su Chi nodded, "This is the safest." ”
Now that Hexi has just carried out the transfer of power, and it is very unstable, there is a bloody case, how is the people's heart? Unknown. If Zhang Li can settle the situation, he will beat Renduo Baozhong violently. The imperial court can only appease it, otherwise it might as well send troops to fight.
Cai Jing paused, "Yang Jian came to urge him again today...... Let King Ding go north as soon as possible. ”
"The guards were ready, and the troops were drawn from the new army in Kaifeng to form 10 battalions, plus 6 cannons and 500 cavalry. A total of 8800 elites. Su Chi said, "It's better to go and talk to the official family today." ”
These 8,800 new troops are really nothing in this time and space, and there are more than 200,000 such soldiers and horses here. The Hexi Army can also pull out more than 20,000 elite cavalry at any time, of which 15,000 are still armored cavalry!
But compared with the original late Northern Song Dynasty, today's weak Song Dynasty has actually embarked on the road of militarism.
It's just that this militaristic state is relatively weak, Zhou is like a large Prussia, Hexi is like a small Tsarist Russia, and weak Song is a foolish with 100 million people.
However, in the eyes of the fourteen-year-old boy Dingwang, the army in front of him is really extraordinary. It's a bit strange to be neat, the ten phalanxes composed of nearly 10,000 people can be as strict as knives and axes, and they can be so quiet that they are silent. Looking at such an army gave him a fluttering feeling.
That's probably what it's like to be Emperor Genghis, right?
"I don't want my Da Song to have such an elite!" Zhao Huan blurted out, "Why worry about the Khitan, the violent Zhou, and the Hexi is not peaceful!" ”
Yes?
Su Chi, Liu Fa, and Liu Guangshi (who was admitted to the Martial Arts Academy after the Jinju Mutiny, and has now graduated and served as Liu Fa's military commander) and others who accompanied him to inspect the officers and soldiers who escorted the officers and soldiers were all taken aback by these words.
But at the same time, everyone also admired the ambition and courage of His Royal Highness King Ding.
Today's Great Song Dynasty, the country's strength is a bit up and down, let's say it's weak...... What do you say about the 8800 elite in front of you? With the entry of batches of new-style officers into the army, the combat effectiveness of the Song army is actually steadily improving.
Moreover, the Qian Yin reform presided over by Cai Xianggong was also very successful, so that the imperial court had enough financial resources to protect the new army.
It can be said that it is powerful, and Storm Zhou and Hexi seem to be superior. In particular, in the violent Zhou, he marched the military merit jue field system, worked hard to inspire the people to be martial, trained the new army of the 18th division, and defeated the Great Song Dynasty in military strength.
If there is no male lord in the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that sooner or later it will be broken!
"His Royal Highness King Ding," Su Chi whispered, "It's not too early, we can go!" ”
"Good!" The young Zhao Huan nodded, "Then let's go!" Lonely also saw the strength of the Zhou Kingdom! ”
……
In the eyes of the Great Song monarchs, the Zhou State in the north was strong and powerful, and it was a problem for his henchmen. In the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Jiaozhi Kingdom in the south, the former gentle and elegant gentleman Da Song has long since become a violent maniac.
Last year, inexplicably, dozens of warships broke into the Red River and almost reached the outside of the national capital Thang Long. The sailor warship sent to block it didn't even touch the side of the enemy ship, and it was hit by an unknown weapon - it was breathing fire and releasing thunder, I really don't know what happened?
Anyway, I can't beat it!
There was no way, Li Qiande had to agree to donate 2 million stone of rice, so as to avoid the danger of looting the country.
What is hateful is that the warships of the Violent Song Dynasty did not stay away, but went north to forcibly occupy Anbangkou, saying that they wanted to build a Laoshzi concession...... It's not a robbery, it's a rent!
What nonsense! Occupy it without suing, that is called renting? And where is the rent? Not a penny.
The princes of the Jiaozhi country are not angry, let alone fight - they are not afraid of land battles, but in order to recover Anbangkou, they must fight water wars. The water war is really out of luck. Their warships are big and fast, some breathe fire, some mine. The whole thing is like a heavenly soldier descending to earth, how do you let the sailors of Jiaozhi country fight?
But based on the previous moderation of the Great Song Dynasty, everyone thought that some border ministers were provoking. So he sent a mission to Kaifeng Mansion to inform him, but the mission came back crying.
It is said that it is a kind of system of the Great Song Dynasty that makes a rake and sue the country for not being a minister - he claims to be the emperor in the country, and he has been harassing the border of the Great Song Dynasty and killing the people of the Song Dynasty.
This is really unreasonable to the extreme, why don't you kill a few...... Maybe hundreds of thousands of people of the Song Dynasty!
Song Shenzong won't pursue it, now it's a fart?
But the current official family, what Emperor Genghis is unreasonable, and he has to send someone to investigate.
Check it, check it, what does it mean that you brought so many warships to check?
Hula, dozens of warships! With the warships and soldiers at Anbangkou, almost all of them can start a battle.
What's wrong with the current Great Song? So like to fight?
"Your Majesty, now the Song people have the advantage on the sea, but their land division is weak, and they are not the opponent of my Dayue Heavenly Soldiers. The minister is not talented, and he is willing to lead the northern expedition of the Lu Division to the Tyrannical Song Dynasty, and force the Tyrannical Song to give up Anbangkou with the prestige of the country. ”
In the Shenglong Palace, the younger brother of the Dayue Emperor Li Qiande, Li Chongde, the Marquis of Chongxian, went out to ask for battle.
At this time, the Li Dynasty in Vietnam was at its peak! Both national and military strength have reached their peaks. Although the long-lived eunuch general Li Changjie has passed away, the two brothers Li Qiande and Li Chongde are also proficient in military strategy and have led troops to expeditions many times.
Last time, Ji Yi and Mi Youren fought an asymmetrical war, so they had to take out 2 million stone of grain to retreat from the enemy.
But after Ji Yi and Mi Youren retreated. The Viet Nam army was already on guard, setting up several blockaded pontoon bridges on the Red River and preparing a large number of fireboats.
It can definitely stop the Song army from going against the tide and going straight to Thang Long.
However, the topography of An Bangkou Bay was not conducive to the Vietnamese Army Army's land division, because it was a standard bay, and the two peninsulas formed a strait, guarding the entrance to the bay. This peninsula is now occupied by the Song and Zhou armies, who built the castle port. There were also battleships left behind, and if you want to attack hard, you must attack from the narrow peninsula, and you will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, it is better to attack the Guangnan West Road directly by land, just like when Li Changjie made the Northern Expedition to Qin, Lian, and Yong in the Great Song Dynasty!
