Chapter 358 Economic Sanctions

The warrior regiment of the Wang family originally originated from the Bow and Arrow Society, and after years of development, the force in the hands of the Wang family has become quite good. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The first is the 3,000 cavalry in Wang Liangjing's hands, which is the most elite force of the Wang family so far, more than half of which are veterans, who have participated in the battle against Liao, and have eliminated Nong Zhigao, and they are also the ones who have entered Jiaozhi, which can be said to be a meritorious achievement.

After the rebuilding of the Jingsai Army, they were the core force, including 1,000 heavy cavalry and 2,000 light cavalry.

It's not that Wang Ningan doesn't want to be all equipped with heavy cavalry, it's that the cavalry is too expensive.

The heavy cavalry must ensure that the men and horses have armor, from top to bottom, it is completely an iron man, just this set of armor, at least more than 300 times, plus a variety of weapons, protective gear, saddles, stirrups, all counted, a heavy cavalry equipment to 500 through, not counting the daily maintenance and combat wear.

Take the iron harrier of Western Xia as an example, with the power of the whole country, it can only raise 3,000 people, all the iron harrier heavy cavalry, the armor is father and son successively, the ancestors have passed it down from generation to generation, it is good to say that it is a continuation of bravery, and if it is not good, it is really shy in the bag, and dare not waste it.

The equipment alone is so much money, and each cavalry must be equipped with at least 3 war horses, so as to ensure continuous combat and have strong mobility capabilities.

Even if Wang Ningan has a horse farm and can breed war horses, the number of good horses that can bear heavy equipment is not very large, and so far, there are less than 5,000 horses.

This is also the most important reason for restricting the heavy cavalry of the royal family.

Wang Ningan and his father have studied, and Wang Liangjing believes that although the Northland horse is a relatively good war horse, it is not big enough, and it is difficult to bear heavy equipment.

Take the Iron Harriers of Western Xia as an example, their core good horses are good horses from the Western Regions, and as for the Liao Kingdom, they will also get good horses from the Western Regions and even further away.

Lao Wang was very emotional, the Great Song Dynasty not only lost Yanyun, Hetao, but also the Western Regions, even if he wanted to buy a war horse, there was no way out!

Listening to his father's emotion, Wang Ningan suddenly snorted!

"If Western Xia and Liao can get it, we can get it too!"

Wang Liangjing was curious: "How to get it, can you still fly to the Western Regions?" ”

"Hahaha, if you're not welcome, you should find out Ning Ze's geographical atlas, take a good look, and you can find a way."

Lao Wang hesitated for a while, and he really found out his youngest son's album.

After careful study for a long time, the roads in the north were blocked by the Great Liao, Western Xia, and Qingtang trio. Wang Liangjing once pondered attacking Qingtang and taking the Hexi Corridor into his hands.

But the problem is that the Qingtang people are not weak, the Western Xia attacked the Qingtang, they were all killed and fled, the Great Song Dynasty has little chance, and attacking the Qingtang Dynasty, it is difficult to guarantee that the Western Xia will not take the opportunity to send troops, and when the time comes, the enemy will be attacked on the back, and it will be another Yongxi Northern Expedition.

Wang Liangjing completely gave up hope on land, turned his eyes to the sea, and along the vast sea, Wang Liangjing looked at it for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up!

He found that from Lingnan along the chart to the south, through a thin strait, he entered a vast sea area, there is a triangular peninsula in front of him, here is Tianzhu, through Tianzhu, is a vast desert area, this area is just connected to the Western Regions!

"Oh my God!"

Wang Liangjing exclaimed, "Ning An, you mean to come back from the sea and use a ship to transport war horses. ”

"Hmm!"

Wang Ningan nodded vigorously, he tried to recall that the war horse that can bear the heavy cavalry must be a heavy war horse, and the Arabian horse that is the easiest to get is not strong enough, if you cross the Arabian Peninsula and enter the Western Regions, to get a sweaty horse, I am afraid that it will be more difficult than passing through the Western Xia.

After thinking about it, Wang Ningan hollowed out his mind.

Suddenly, he remembered one thing, there is a kind of heavy war horse in India - Mawari horse, it is said that this is a very strong and vigorous war horse, which is deeply loved by the third brother and is even worshiped as a god.

It's just that after the occupation of India by the British, this kind of war horse was castrated in large quantities, and the Mawari horse almost disappeared...... At the moment, the British are still chasing the reindeer, which means that the third brother still has a very good war horse!

It seems that the Great Song Dynasty can only reluctantly play the role of a colonizer and give civilization and civilization to the third brother...... Wang Liangjing watched from the side, and suddenly found that his son's face showed a smile full of insidiousness, cunning, greed, and obscenity, Wang Liangjing's heart just shrank, no need to ask, someone is going to be unlucky!

……

Although he has an idea, it will take a while to get Mawarima and form the Cheng army, and Wang Jiajun can only endure it.

In addition to these 3,000 regular cavalry, the Wang family also had as many as 5,000 people in effect.

In addition to not being a regular establishment, these people are almost the same as the cavalry, they are just as well-trained and proficient in cavalry and archery, but they lack actual combat experience, and they have not been trained in large army operations, and the fire is much worse.

Further down, there are as many as 30,000 or 40,000 archery clubs and militias in various places, and their training is similar to that of cavalry, including physical fitness, queues, archery, and so on.

Ping County spends no more than one million yuan every year to support the Bow and Arrow Society, provide them with excellent weapons, and also buy a large amount of whale meat to supplement the nutrition of soldiers.

In terms of physical fitness alone, these soldiers, as Wang Deyong said, are no worse than the men and horses of the Tianxiong Army.

The old general personally tested, the soldiers' archery skills are quite good, in 60 to 80 steps away, the archery hit rate is more than seventy percent, and the body is strong, the burden of dozens of pounds, can also run like flying, in addition to the obedience is also very good, the queue level is extremely high...... These made Wang Deyong ecstatic.

But after really reading it, the old general's face changed.

"Erlang, the old man admits that they are very good, but they are just the seeds of good soldiers, and they are still a long way from the real elite!"

Wang Deyong pointed to the soldiers and said: "Look at their queue, within a hundred people, they can walk very neatly, but when several teams are put together, they are chaotic. They don't know how to cooperate with each other at all. Also, these people are mainly archers and spearmen, and there is also a lack of sword and axe hands, shield players, and they cannot form a cooperation, and they will definitely suffer if they rush into battle. ”

Wang Ningan did not refute, of course he knew the problem that Wang Deyong said.

After all, the Wang family is still a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, and his samurai regiment is also trained according to the militia, and it is usually to arrest thieves and deal with bandits, and one hundred and ten people are enough.

He can't pull tens of thousands of people and train according to the standards of the army!

In that case, the soldiers will not be trained, and their heads will be lost first.

"Old general, what do you think should be done?"

Wang Deyong pondered for a while, and said: "In this way, I will organize them into various armies, let the veterans take them, and pay close attention to the drill, if the Liao soldiers do not go south within two months, it will be considered as a blessing to the Great Song Dynasty." If the Liao soldiers are killed, then we will have to fight hard. The old man is almost old, and he has an old life, even if he is thrown on the battlefield, there is no pity. It's just that these young people have to fight hard with the Liao soldiers under the condition of lack of preparation, and the old man is afraid that he will be sorry for their family! The Great Song Dynasty has been martial arts and slack in armaments over the years, and it has reached such a point, the old man is really heartbroken! ”

Wang Ning'an had a calm face, of course he didn't want his men to fight hard, but how could he do it if he didn't fight?

Is there a way to delay for a while, at least so that the Liao soldiers will not come so quickly?

Thinking of this, Wang Ningan hurriedly went to call his group of subordinates and students over. He didn't hide it, now the Great Song Dynasty is united, the opportunity is rare, the army is quickly reorganized, and the combat effectiveness is improving rapidly.

If it can delay time, it will be extremely beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, but the problem is how to delay has become the biggest problem.

"Continue to attack the coastal areas of Liao, and beat them up in a mess!" Su Shi was the first to suggest.

Zhang Dun shook his head, "No, the Liao State has determined that the Bohai State is supported by the Great Song Dynasty, and the more fierce the Bohai State fights, the faster the Liao State will send troops to the Great Song Dynasty!" You're afraid the battle will come too slowly! ”

Su Shi thought about it, and had to admit that Zhang Dun was right.

"Do you have an idea?"

Zhang Dun thought for a while and said, "Sir, see if you can cut off Song Liao's trade and deal a fatal blow to Liao!" ”

"Stinks to death, you still say Da Su, your methods are even less clever." Lu Huiqing interjected, "The Great Song Dynasty has always tightened trade, and the Liao State will be furious and send troops to attack the Great Song Dynasty. At this time, cutting off trade is tantamount to lifting oil to put out fires, you and Zizhan are half a catty and eight taels, there is no difference. ”

Zhang Dun said with a dark face: "Don't talk cheaply, you have the ability to come up with a way?" ”

Lu Huiqing thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, let's send a person who argues to go over and tell Liao Guochen that it is powerful, so that they don't dare to go south, that's the best!" ”

"Phew!"

Zhang Dun and Su Shi scolded together: "You are a fool to be a Liao countryman, and you are a man of tongue, how about you go?" ”

Lu Huiqing hurriedly shook his head, he didn't want to die.

At this time, Wang Ningan was yelled at by them, and suddenly had an inspiration.

"By the way, I have a way!"

Everyone looked at Wang Ning'an together and asked, "Will the plan come out?" ”

"Hahaha, Jifu, it seems that you are indeed going to Liao."

Lu Huiqing's face turned green, and she said embarrassedly: "Sir, it's not that the disciple doesn't want to go, it's just this situation, I'm afraid I'm going to lose my head!" Students are not afraid of death, but they can't die in vain, I still have eight brothers, and a high mother, and children who can't walk......"

"That's it! Don't sell business with me! ”

Wang Ningan suddenly smiled, "I am ready to impose sanctions on the Liao State." ”

Everyone's faces changed, all of them were suspicious, and they said in their hearts, didn't they overthrow it just now, what kind of moth did Mr. have!

"My sanctions are not full-fledged sanctions!"

Everyone finally became curious, what is the gentleman going to do?

"I'm going to sanction only the firms and merchants related to Yelu Hongji and his son, and the rest will be as usual." After Wang Ningan finished speaking, he showed an unfathomable smile.

After listening to this, these boys only had two words left in their heads: insidious!

Su Shi couldn't help but shout: "Isn't this a blatant discord between the monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom? If they want to move troops, they will cut off their financial routes, and the others will continue as usual, whoever follows Yelu Hongji to fight the Great Song Dynasty will lose their money, so who can do it? ”

"If you have the ability, let Yelu Hongji bite me!" Wang Ningan looked like a ruffian.
