Chapter 5 Kyushu poly iron miscasting (4)
[Second Update.] 】
Why is the Liang family, as a Han Chinese, to oppose sinicization? It's not because I can't afford to play. The Huhua regime was economical and had to learn from the Song people to establish grammar, repair the palace room, set the order, and prepare etiquette, and the treasury could be emptied in a blink of an eye. As the saying goes, if you are rich, don't expect any etiquette rules if you are poor-although Li Qing is Xia Chen, his pride as a Han is deep-rooted, and whoever makes the difference between Huaxia and barbarians cannot deny it themselves.
And in the past two years, due to successive defeats, there is no military income at all, and can only rely on the income from the return of the Song people to barely maintain the national economy - I don't know how much of the salt produced by the Qingbai Salt Pond has been smuggled to the Song people - plus to deal with the greedy appetite of the Liao people, the whole country is already in the stage of surviving.
"If the Song people can send troops in another month, if they want to attack the city of Lingzhou, they will have to cross the Hanhai Sea under the scorching sun, even if Qinfeng and Xihe can go along the Yellow River, they will have to travel a long distance. The heat is unbearable, and when they arrive at Lingzhou City, there will not be much strength left. But if the Song army didn't leave until after the autumn was cool, it would be a beautiful thing for us. At that time, the war horses were fat, and our army was recuperating in Lingzhou, while the Song people were exhausted after sending troops for several months. ”
Liang Yi's voice came into Li Qing's ears, making him wake up that this place was still above the court.
But hearing Liang Yi's self-deception, Li Qing only had a sneer in his heart. The country is limited, even if this battle is won, the Western Xia, which lacks a foundation, will definitely not be able to last long unless it can bite a piece of meat from the Song people.
Li Qing had no intention of dying with Western Xia.
If Western Xia can sustain it, he will continue to be a loyal minister. But if the situation is not good and there is a danger of losing the country, he will not die to the end. In any case, he is the core of the Han people in the country, especially in the successive presence of Han scholars like Jingxun, which makes Li Qing, who holds the power of the army, even more popular.
Liang Yibury didn't know what Li Qing was thinking, but even if he knew Lu Dao, he wouldn't feel anything surprising. There are countless clans and courtiers at both ends of the first rat, and there is no shortage of Li Qing.
No one can guarantee that Ren Duo Lingding and Ye Xiaoma, who are standing in the court right now, will be loyal to the end. On the contrary, it is the Liang family and the Wei Ming clan, one is the descendant clan and the other is the royal family, and it is not beneficial to defect to the Song people at all, and they may be killed one day, so as to prevent the recurrence of the Taizu succession and revival of the family.
At present, the basic strategy that has been set is to let the Song people kill under the city of Lingzhou and try to cut off their food routes. It stands to reason that taking advantage of the opportunity of the Song army to divide the troops to attack, each breakthrough is the best policy, and luring the enemy deep into the army can actually be regarded as surviving with a broken arm. But no one has this confidence, and they are not sure that they can defeat the main force of the Song people in a row, or even completely defeat one of them. With the combat effectiveness of the Song army over the years, if the battle took place near Hengshan, the best result would only be a residual victory. Only by allowing the Song army to take advantage of the geographical advantage to continuously reduce their combat effectiveness after a long journey can Great Xia see the opportunity for victory.
It is a very simple strategy to lure the enemy into the depths of the strong wall and clear the field, but if it is done well, it can still reverse the tide of the battle in one fell swoop, and even annihilate the incoming Song army in one fell swoop, so that the Western Army of the Song State dispatched by the whole division will be slumped, just like the Song State after suffering three disastrous defeats in succession at Sanchuankou, Haoshuichuan and Dingchuanzhai. When the time comes, you can maintain the state by asking for the annual coins.
But the question of how to achieve this strategy is more critical. It is necessary to test the execution ability of the Western Xia monarchs and ministers, as well as the ability to defend Lingzhou.
However, these two things have to be done in practice to know that the Tao will not succeed, and it is useless to say anything now.
"When will the news from the north arrive?" Repeating the strategy set a few days ago, Ren Duo Ling Ding asked Liang Yi to bury.
"Again, you have to raise horses in spring and summer, and you can go south in autumn." Liang Yibury shook his head and cheered up: "But I didn't put all my hopes in the north, and if I want to win this battle, I still have to rely on myself." The retreat from the army is God's help, and the sky does not want to kill my big white country! Otherwise, all roads will attack together with Yan Yan at this time, and it will be difficult to resist it. ”
As Ren Duo Lingding got older, he believed more and more that there was the so-called luck in the underworld, and nodded in agreement: "Although the Eastern Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, and it has defeated my Wang Shi many times before, but this time, it is obviously too aggressive, and hundreds of thousands of troops are in danger. The Song people will be arrogant and lazy, and the time has come for me to come and run when the Great White High Kingdom comes! ”
After the military discussion was over, and he came out of the temple, and Rinda pouted and followed behind his uncle.
He didn't dare to say much in the hall just now, but in his opinion, it took more than an hour to discuss the matter, and he said a bunch of nonsense, what should he do or what should he do, it was still a strong wall, luring the enemy to go deeper, and fighting a decisive battle under Lingzhou City, nothing changed.
"I don't know what happened to the Wudao Vultures." Renduo Baozhong looked back, and his gaze crossed the Zichen Palace. The palace of the Western Xia Dynasty was not large, and there were two temples behind it, which was the dormitory where the lord of the kingdom was now imprisoned, "I heard that these days, it is common to see people being carried out of the manna hall. ”
"Let him stay in the palace and give birth to a son. No one who has watched the famous family has helped him speak? "Rindo Zero Ding didn't care about that stupid emperor.
In his opinion, the people of the famous family are really not as good as the generation, since the beginning of Taizu's succession, it is getting worse, although Jingzong Yuanhao is self-reliant and called the emperor, but in the eyes of Renduo Lingding, the means of government are too far worse than his father Taizong Deming. From Liao, to Tubo, and then to the Song Kingdom, all the neighbors around them fought again, making enemies on all sides, and also consumed all the wealth inherited from their grandfathers and fathers, and won the title of emperor empty, and even the cause of death was a joke, robbing his daughter-in-law, and his son cut off his nose and died of excessive blood loss. It's so ridiculous that they can't even raise their heads as courtiers.
Walking in the palace, Ren Duo Lingding didn't know how many times he could walk in this palace.
Now we have to see if we can survive this time, if Lingzhou is not guaranteed, Renduo Lingding will never let the Renjia family live and die with the famous family.
Before the identity of King Chen of Great Xia and the privy envoy, he was the patriarch of the Ren family. For party members, the family is everything. As for the famous family who claims to be the descendant of the Xianbei Tuoba clan and wants to climb a rich relative in life or death, he is more than a little bit of a person who cares about them to die!
……………………
In the middle of spring, the new leaves on deciduous trees such as sycamores and willows in Tokyo are already a thick green. The number of tourists who went out of the city gradually became scarce. In another two months, it will almost be time for the rich and noble families to go to other businesses outside the city to escape the summer.
The last group of Jingying forbidden troops also went to the front line in Shaanxi with high spirits under the farewell of their parents, wives and children. If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine that the morale of the army that is about to go into battle is so high that every soldier is strutting with his head high. In Han Gang's impression, even the arrogant old soldiers who have been rolling in blood all year round will become a little strange than usual before going into battle.
Han Gang's time as an official in the capital adds up to whether it is long or short, which is enough for him to see the actual level of the forbidden army in Beijing. Their actual combat power and self-confidence are completely disproportionate.
In the whole thing of Zhao Ji forcing him to return to the division, the Jingying Forbidden Army must have also made a contribution. They were originally going into battle to get credit, and whoever dared to interfere with their plans was the result of endless death.
Han Gang had no intention of caring about the little of Yan Yanlu. forced the cultivators to return to the division, which deepened the estrangement between the generals from all walks of life. This drama of competing for credit has been brought to the fore. Thinking that by pulling the seed back, you can kill the wind of merit, this is completely wishful thinking. At present, most of the cultivators can't even control the more than 30,000 Beijing camp forbidden troops assigned to the seven generals under his command.
He only hopes now that after going to the battlefield, the Jingying Forbidden Army can still maintain half of the momentum of fighting for merit, so that at least it will not drag the Western Army back.
Most of Han Gang's affairs in the Herding Division were now pre-war preparations, and as the season moved from early spring to late spring, his work became much easier. More time and energy can be devoted to his own private affairs. And Zhou Nan is about to give birth, and Su Xin is finally happy again after six years. This made Han Gang's mood a lot better.
However, there are people in his family who are more concerned about current affairs than he is.
Han Gang was in the study inspecting a newly ground convex lens. The transparent crystals distorted the shape of the bookshelf on the other side of the lens and sent it into Han Gang's eyes. Although he is not a well-known new craftsman, his craftsmanship is even better than that of the old craftsman. Han Gang estimated that after replacing this lens, he would be able to increase the magnification of his microscope to a hundred times.
However, to match this lens, the existing microscope had to recreate the frame. Han Gang was thinking about how to design, but Wang Sunchen suddenly came to disturb the quiet, "Third brother, Wang Zhongzheng has arrived in the capital." ”
"I know it." Han Gang carefully put the lenses into a small box filled with cotton, turned around and pointed to a round stool placed in the corner of the wall, and motioned for Wang Sunsin to sit down and speak.
"Third brother, do you want to go and see him?" After Wang Sunchen sat down, he asked tentatively.
"He brings imperial equipment, and he is known to the Imperial Medicine Academy, and he has been outside Beijing for a long time, so he will definitely enter the palace to serve the Son of Heaven these days. And how many eyes were staring at him. Han Gang shook his head, "I don't have a good relationship with him in private. ”
Wang Sunchen frowned, Han Gang didn't go, there were many things how to coordinate with Wang Zhongzheng.
"Just because I can't see him doesn't mean you can't." Han Gang said with a smile, "You are familiar with Wang Zhongzheng again, and it makes sense to think of going back to his door." ”
"This ......" Wang Sunchen hesitated for a moment, scratched his ears and cheeks, and said: "I didn't say anything good, so it's inconvenient to come to the door rashly?" ”
