Chapter 452 The basis for victory and defeat
Zong Wang finally calmed down and returned to Datong, found Zong Han and Zong Bi, and borrowed troops from the two of them straightforwardly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zong Han asked, "The total strength of the two of us is only 20,000, how much do you want to borrow?" ”
"Five thousand is enough!"
Zong Bi was about to ask, but was stopped by Zong Han, "Okay, you can take the five thousand soldiers and horses!" ”
Watching Zong Wang go north with five thousand elite Jurchen cavalry, Zong Bi looked at Zong Han in puzzlement.
Zong Han said, "If you don't borrow soldiers, he will run back by himself, and he will definitely die." The steppe solution is perhaps the best way at the moment. ”
Zong Bi was thoughtful, and didn't say anything in the end.
Ten days later, I went to Beijing.
The 50,000 troops left behind in Shangjing plus the emperor's own army were defeated by Zongwang in one fell swoop.
At the last moment, Wu Qimai only asked Zong Wang, "You did what the Song Dynasty wanted to do the most, and the disaster of the Jurchens will start today." Then he drew his sword and killed himself.
Zong Wang's methods were even more ruthless, and Wu begged to buy some people and horses to be executed. After two rounds of purges in the political arena of the Jin Kingdom, those Jurchen royal families and tribal nobles were silent one by one.
But now Zong Wang's military and political power is monopolized, and with the strong support of Zong Han and Zong Bi, Jin is unified at home and abroad. After two years, Zongwang finally got the huge army system back into operation.
Yandi was occupied by Han Wang, and it has faintly become a country within a country. After several temptations, the Jurchens understood that Han Wang was only regarded as a fence of the Song Dynasty at present, and had no specific ideas for the future.
As for the Song Dynasty, the people's livelihood withered and hurt the bones, and Zhao Ji did not rely on Cai Jing's new economic plan to promote the gaming industry, entertainment industry, real estate, industry and commerce! In Bianliang City, it can actually stimulate some consumption, barely hanging the half-dead Zhao Song Dynasty.
Since Han Wang's Yan State had monopolized the trade of the Jin State, the Song Dynasty could only do some foreign trade with the Western Xia. Of course, Han Wang vigorously purchased the semi-finished products of the Song Dynasty and then processed them into finished products and resold them to the Song Dynasty.
In just five years, the strength of the four kingdoms of Song, Yan, Jin, and Xixia has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Zongwang accumulated manpower and material resources for five years and formed 100,000 cavalry, which were still divided into two heavy army groups in Zhongjing and Datong.
Han Wang absorbed a great deal of wealth from overseas shipping and industrial development, and steadily expanded his new army. A total of two infantry divisions, a cavalry division, an ocean-going fleet, and even an airship brigade were formed on an attempt.
In terms of strength, among the four countries, Yan is the strongest, Jin is second, and Song and Western Xia are just foils. Many people say that sooner or later there will be a decisive battle between Jin and Yan.
There are also many people in the Song Kingdom who hold this view, but there are two exceptions, one is Yu Wenxuzhong and the other is Yue Fei.
Yuwen Xuzhong has always followed the super-rapid development of Han Wang and Yanguo, and even visited the industrial business and military of Yanjing and Luanzhou. For such a huge energy of the Yan State's military, political, agricultural, industrial and commercial system, I am worried.
Yuwen Xuzhong wrote to Zhao Ji more than once, hoping to attract the attention of the imperial court. We should introduce industrial equipment as soon as possible, train our own talents, reorganize the armed forces, and train a number of new-style armed forces.
Five years have passed, nothing has changed, and Yuwenxu's hair has turned gray, but it is a pity that the ministers of the court have words.
"Yan is also a subject country of the Great Song Dynasty, and the better they develop, the more stable the south will be. You are unfounded, and you are even suspected of provoking the relationship between monarchs and ministers! ”
Yuwen looked up to the sky and sighed, "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, the Great Song Dynasty is in danger"
Turning around, Cai Jing, Zhao Liangsi, and Zhao Si found him, hoping that he would go to Baozhou, where is the 100,000 new army under the command of Zhang Shuye, although there are no new weapons of Han Wang, but they have taken a step.
When he arrived in Baozhou, Yuwen Xuzhong found that there were already a gathering of generals here, and all kinds of powerful characters from the Western Army, the Forbidden Army, and the New Army were in place. Two of them attracted his attention, one was Yue Fei, the commander of the New Army, and the other was Guo Yaoshi, the commander of the Changsheng Army.
Yue Feihao said, after all, it was the recruit training that took place for three whole years, the first year of which trained 3,000 recruits for Han Wang, and the second two years because of the tense relationship, so it mainly trained 20,000 recruits, and at the same time trained a large number of grassroots officers for the Western Army.
However, this Guo Yaoshi has not appeared since the last defeat in Zhuozhou, and now he is back in the rivers and lakes, which must be intentional. After all, he is very familiar with Yandi, he can figure out every grass and tree with his eyes closed, and he still has a little prestige over most old people.
It seems that Zhao Gou and Cai Jing still want to find an opportunity to recover Yanyun and promote the unification of China. No matter what, as long as he can increase his vigilance and precautions against Han Wang, his hard work in the past few years will not be in vain.
Even Liu Guangshi and Yao Pingzhong, who was released back by Han Wang, are here, and as for Jiangdong's transfer back to Hu Yanmei, he is even more legendary.
It turned out that after the war in Yizhou, Hu Yanmei went south to see Hu Yanzhuo and figured out that the situation was delicate back then, so the old servant of the Hu family took Hu Yanmei's little son to quietly live in seclusion in Zhending to keep a root for the old Hu family.
Later, Hu Yanzhuo was forced to fall into Caoliang Mountain, and he couldn't recognize each other, and then after Jiangnan beat Fangla, Hu Yanzhuo was injured and recuperated in Hangzhou. Fortunately, Hu Yanmei was recognized by Xiong Da, so he promoted the father and son to recognize each other.
With the support of Hu Yanzhuo and the study of the true biography, Hu Yanmei soon entered the Great Song Forbidden Army. He started from the capital, and in five years, he suppressed bandits, quelled rebellions, and seized military leaders, and was constantly promoted, and now he is a military commander.
Zhao Ji dispatched elite soldiers and strong generals from the national forbidden army to gather on Hebei Road, and the meaning of the drunkard is self-evident.
Three months later, Yu Wenxuzhong, who was Zhang Shuye's staff, still had a headache, and the interests and power between the doors were intertwined, and Zhang Shuye usually couldn't command at all.
Among the seven or eight armies, only Yue Fei, Hu Yanmei, and Guo Yaoshi were relatively cooperative. As for the big corps like Yao Pingzhong and Liu Guangshi, I am used to doing my own thing, and I can't expect more.
As the general with the highest understanding of the new army, Yue Fei was not only not reused, but was excluded by his comrades. In the camp, he was always ridiculed as a mud leg, and even worse, pointed out his strange appearance.
Yue Fei's introverted temperament made him even more depressed, lonely, and incompatible with other generals. Yu Wenxu found him, hoping to build an army like Yan Guo.
Yue Fei agreed, and he was confident that he would do his best, but Uncle Zhang had no money at night, and Xifu had no money. As a result, Yuwen vomited blood. Without a new-style army, how to deal with Han Wang's new army? It took so much effort to achieve such a result!
In the end, the imperial court did not pay much attention to Han Wang, thinking that with an army of 100,000, he could be invincible in the world. Once the position is opened, it will deter the opponent.
Han Wang naturally would not let go of any information about understanding the opponent, and when he saw the changes and deployments of the Jin State and the Song Dynasty, he said with a smile, "The number of people is never the basis for victory or defeat" (to be continued. )
