Chapter 646: Western Xia is destroyed
Zhang San really suspected that the Great Song Dynasty had an attempt to replace the soldiers with water, so he specially sent someone to investigate, and after the investigation of the intelligence officers, it turned out that this was not the case, but because the city of Lanzhou took care of the war this year and did not repair the Yellow River embankment well, so it led to the rupture.
In order to block the Yellow River, Zhang San didn't care about any reputation, so he immediately sent troops to climb the Yellow River dam and occupy Lanzhou, and after five or six days of hard work, the gap was blocked.
For example, there is a large amount of arable land in the Liaohe Plain that has not been cultivated, so it is just right for them to live there, and the conditions are much better there than if they moved overseas, at least there are good cities built here.
Because of the impact of the flood, Zhang San had to slow down the arrangement of the war on the Western Front, and the two divisions that were originally going to be transferred to the Western Front were all involved in this disaster relief this time, which made the Great Song Dynasty nervous again, and the additional 50,000 troops were not a joke for the Great Song Dynasty.
Because the Han army opposite them had never exceeded 50,000 for several months, the new 50,000 people arrived, and the Great Song courtiers no longer hesitated, and decided to move the capital to Chang'an for temporary refuge, waiting for the national strength to recover and make plans.
Zhang San did not say anything about this, after the disaster, the construction of the Yellow River dam once again involved most of Zhang San's energy, but fortunately, after so many years of development in Southeast Asia, grain can finally be transported in large quantities, although the transportation of grain is not very profitable for businessmen, but Zhang San gave an order, there are still many businessmen who choose to transport grain.
Relying on the waterway of the Yellow River, Zhang Sanneng transported grain to Jinju in sections, and after the flood, the material delivery resumed again, and the troops also drove to Jinzhou.
This time the Great Song Dynasty is nervous again, this Zhao Ji has not yet been stable in Chang'an City, this Qi State has driven its troops to Jinzhou again, does it mean to cross the Yellow River and take Chang'an? When Da Song was worried, he did get the news that Zhang San had ascended the throne in Youzhou.
The Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers could only scold at this, saying that Zhang Sanwolf was ambitious, and even clamored to crusade against Wudao, but in the final analysis, who really want to go, no one really dares to go, and the reason for the success of this capital relocation Everyone understands that it is not that the main battle faction has suffered major losses in Lanzhou.
Seeing that the flood was serious, Zhang San did not make any excuse and directly ordered the front-line troops to recover Lanzhou, and the front-line troops did the same after receiving the order, and 50,000 people took half a day to defeat Lanzhou.
This is nothing in Zhang San's opinion, but for the Great Song Dynasty, there are 200,000 troops of the Great Song Dynasty, and the main battle faction that intends to resist to the end is all in the city, and this battle not only defeated the main battle faction but also broke the backbone of the Great Song Dynasty.
So after everyone condemned it, they all went to Chengdu to buy land, these people felt that they were afraid that Chang'an would not stay long, and after Zhang San became emperor, in addition to rewarding the ministers, he also determined the slogan of restoring the homeland of the Han Dynasty.
It was clear to the officials of the Song Dynasty what the homeland of the Han Dynasty was, so in addition to hoping that Chengdu could be saved, these people also aimed at Dali farther away, which could be the former border of the Han Dynasty?
Zhang San announced the restoration of his homeland, in addition to the great Song Dynasty was nervous, the Western Xia was also nervous, they were also the homeland of the Han Dynasty, their big brother Liao Kingdom collapsed, can they still run away?
The Emperor of Western Xia thought of a way, that is, to contact the Great Song Dynasty, and strive to jointly fight against the threat of the Han Dynasty, and the envoy was sent to Chang'an, but Zhao Ji finally did not agree, and put the Western Xia people in the Song Realm to resist the Great Han, which is not equivalent to luring the wolf into the house?
The year ended in the intrigue of various countries and the various establishments of the Han Dynasty, and in the new year, Zhang San decided to lay down the Western Xia before the wheat harvest, so as not to waste a season of grain by the Western Xia people.
The first shot after the year was fired from Jinzhou, the Han army crossed the Yellow River, took Suizhou in three days, surrounded Yan'an in ten days, and the entire northwest of the Great Song Dynasty belonged to the Han in a month, and when the Western Xia hurriedly transferred the main force to the front line to prepare to fight against the Han, the 100,000 Han cavalry and 100,000 Mongolian cavalry located in the Hetao went south at the same time.
Before the Western Xia could react, 200,000 cavalry surrounded Xingqing Mansion and surrounded the main force of the entire Western Xia in several states to the east of Xingqing Mansion.
It's not that the Western Xia people didn't expect that the Han would attack together in two ways, but they didn't expect that the other party's appetite would be so big, and they wanted to destroy the Western Xia in a battle.
After that, the Han army of Yan'an, Suizhou, and Qingzhou attacked together, and the main force of Western Xia was surrounded in Yinzhou, and Xiazhou and other places were annihilated one after another, and then the cavalry passed through Liangzhou and Ganzhou out of Yumen until they arrived at Guazhou Shazhou to garrison.
The Western Xia War has been fought for more than half a year, and like the Liao State, there are more marches than battles, and you only need to run over and swear sovereignty along the way, and as for the future, you will have to wait for the arrival of civilian personnel.
After the Western Xia, Zhang San quieted down, even if the Great Song Dynasty moved the capital to Chengdu again, Zhang San did not send troops to occupy Chang'an, the occupation of the west came to an end, and it was difficult for the northern region to achieve short-term results, so Zhang San's finances now became difficult.
At this time, the troops have also been used to the limit, and I am afraid that they will face the embarrassment of having no soldiers to use when they occupy more places, and there are not enough administrative personnel, even now a large number of old officials have been used.
If the whole country is quickly unified, it will be easy to defeat it, but it will be difficult to run it well, and when the time comes, a large number of old-style officials will be replaced by the government and re-appointed, and the situation in which the forces in various places are intertwined will remain unchanged.
Then if it is reunified, these people will become resistance to reform, and what Zhang San wants to do at that time will not be like now, so at this time Zhang San feels that it is time to rest.
Although some people were very excited and clamored that a single division could unify the whole country, Zhang San still saw the weakness of the ruling power in the countryside and the stubbornness of the clan power from this incident of repairing the new Yellow River.
So Zhang San decided to stop and sort it out, train more troops, train more political personnel, and by the way, sort out all these characters of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and the moths in the physique should also be cleaned up.
Corruption has always been an unavoidable problem in China for thousands of years, even if Zhang San has given a very high salary, even if Zhang San attaches great importance to integrity, but some people just like to eat inside and outside, and some people just feel that the country is the country, and their own is their own.
Especially after returning to the Central Plains, after some people recognized their ancestors and returned to their ancestors, the clan power expanded instantly. As a result, in some places, the phenomenon of village tyrants and township tyrants began to rise, which Zhang San could not tolerate.
