In a blink of an eye, another year has passed, and the four years of Shaoding can also be described as a bumper year for the Song Dynasty, Qin Fenglu under the full cooperation of Chen Boots and Huang Yan, the situation has completely stabilized, and the pro-Jin forces have basically been suppressed, and under the auspices of Huang Yan and Chen Boots, they mobilized a large number of people to repair the county towns in Zhuzhou in the north of Qinfeng Road, and strengthened the defense of these cities near Mongolia. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info And Huang Yan has been recruiting soldiers and horses in the area of Fengxiang Road for more than two years, training the new army, so that the strength of the Fengxiang Road garrison army has increased to nearly 50,000, and these 50,000 soldiers and horses have 25,000 elites left in addition to the troops guarding the county seat of Zhuzhou, and Huang Yanchen is stationed in the area of Qingyang Mansion.

Among these generals, in addition to the Song people as the main body, they also absorbed a lot of party members and Han people who fled into Qinfeng Road from the Western Xia, and also absorbed a lot of strong people from Qinfeng, and the folk customs in this area were originally very strong, plus many of them were harmed by the Mongols, among which the Western Xia people were even more deeply affected, and the Mongols had a deep blood feud, after being incorporated into the army by Huang Yan, the drill was very hard, and the Song army was now strict in military discipline, and the military strength was very prosperous under diligent training. There is also the fact that Huang Yan's department now has fierce generals such as Li Ruohu and Fei Wenlong, and his Qin Fengjun can definitely be called a fierce army...

In order to strengthen the strength of Huang Yan's department, Gao Huaiyuan also established the Qinfeng Road Ordnance Division in Fengxiang Mansion at the beginning of the recovery of Qinfeng Road, and established a large arsenal to supply Qin Fenglu, providing a steady stream of new equipment for Huang Yan's generals, so that the quality of equipment can be improved again. However, the light and medium-sized Shenwei cannons that can be used in field battles have been equipped with nearly 300 guns for Huang Yan's department, and the number of various firearms has reached about 1,000, and these cutting-edge weapons have been concentrated and equipped to Huang Yan's Chinese army, making it form a modern army with firearms as the main combat weapon, with extremely strong attack ability, and most of the rest of the soldiers and horses have been replaced with new trap armor, complete with swords, guns, bows and crossbows, and the quality is far more than the previous Song army's equipment, ready for all the Northern Expedition.

Moreover, through the continuous transportation in the past two years, a large amount of grain has also been transferred to Qinfeng Road and stored in the area of Qingyang Mansion and Pingliang Mansion, which can be used by the army at any time.

At the same time, Yue Kun and Zhao Kui basically controlled the entire Tubo region, obtained a lot of horses from Tubo, and Tibet has also produced good horses since ancient times, after Tubo returned to the Song Dynasty, a large number of horses began to enter the Song army, so that the problem of war horses of the two armies of Sichuan and Qinfeng Road has been fundamentally solved, plus Qin Fenglu originally had the habit of raising horses, and also flowed into a lot of Hetao horses from the Western Xia, so that the two armies are cavalry alone, and now there are more than 20,000 people, and there are no less than 50,000 war horses, which completely solves the lack of horses in the Song army. The lack of cavalry made the Song army have a considerable mobile combat capability while having a strong infantry army...

And Yue Kun was not idle in Sichuan, recruited a group of Tubo people into the army, called the Fan Army, these people are good at horseback riding, a little training is a rare good cavalry, and Yue Kun's training level is definitely not low, he has read all kinds of military books, the ability to control the army is very strong, plus absorb Gao Huaiyuan's experience in leading troops, the Sichuan army is now not to be underestimated, and Sichuan originally produced copper and iron, the quality of the armor and artillery produced by the Lizhou Ordnance Division is quite good, it can be called the best in the Song Army, The army composed of the Tubo people is equipped with the unique tumor armor of Tubo, which is the armor created by the Tubo craftsmen by cold forging method, and the defense is also very strong, after the arrow is shot, it is often unable to penetrate, and it will be immediately damaged, so the equipment quality of the Lizhou army in Sichuan is also quite good. Yue Kun has begun to gradually move the soldiers and horses trained into the army to the area of Xining Prefecture to station, and this army will become the main force to attack the Hetao area in the future.

And Meng Heng's Jingxi Road now has a strength of 90,000 troops, stationed in Xiangyang, Ezhou, Jiangzhou, Jiankang and Jiangling and other places, there is a 15,000-strong loyal army in western Beijing, which is an important assault force of Meng Heng in Jiangbei, although the loyal shun army has been returned to the garrison army over the years, but they still maintain the name of the loyal shun army, which was led by Huang Yan's younger brother Huang Xu, this guy is not inferior to his brother Huang Yan, warlike and daring to fight, and the army is quite strict. After Huang Yan left, the strength of the loyal army was reduced, but the combat effectiveness did not decline.

As for the equipment, needless to say, Jingxi is the place where Gao Huaiyuan started, not to mention the place where the military reform was first started, and the combat effectiveness of the army has people like Meng Hui and Li Xiaotian, and it is not far from being far behind, it can be called the backbone of the Song army, and it is also an army with very rich combat experience.

Not to mention the Jingdong Army, Zhao Futang is there, Gao Huaiyuan doesn't have to worry about him, Zhao Futang is the person who came out of the front of the palace, and is the first batch of fierce generals trained by Gao Huaiyuan in the front of the palace, this guy naturally used Gao Huaiyuan's methods of controlling the army on the Jingdong Army, after reorganization and recent expansion, there are no less than 50,000 soldiers and horses under his command, plus the Flying Tiger Army Fu Daquan and Zhou Jun and Zhenjiang's Luo Zhuo Third Army, Jingdong's army is about 100,000 people as a whole. Don't worry about the quality of the equipment, where is the Laiwu iron smelter, it is difficult for them to have poor equipment, so Gao Huaiyuan here doesn't have to worry...

The last is the Gyeonggi Army, here is the palace division and the infantry division of the two armies together, the strength of the army over the years with the continuous transfer, although not as much as before, but also maintained at 90,000 people, the commander of the Gyeonggi army is Liu Dayong, this guy dares to fight belligerently, not to mention, it can be regarded as a professional background, and his subordinates have the advantage of being close to the water and the first to get the moon, and many martial arts students trained by Huayue fell in the Gyeonggi army, so the quality of the officers of the Gyeonggi army is much higher than that of other armies, Gao Huaiyuan originally regarded the Gyeonggi army as the general reserve of the Song army, It can support both JD.com and Jingxi at any time.

If you want to talk about the quality of the equipment of the Gyeonggi Army, let alone mention it, the Ordnance Supervisor is in the Beijing Division, and the old bottom was strong before, plus Liu Dayong, the head of the Ordnance Supervisor over the years, let them take advantage of everything first, and even the artillery They are not less equipped than Jingdong, not to mention the armor, but there is a problem in the Gyeonggi Army, their cavalry is now behind the other four major theaters, and the other four armies of Good Horse are not willing to give them to them, so they keep them. Therefore, the number of cavalry in the Gyeonggi army is much shabby compared to the other four major theaters, and now there are only 5,000 cavalry, but the elite level should not be underestimated...

Anyway, they still have the Qingyuan Prefecture Naval Division, and at the same time, they also have the convenience of water transportation, and there were many inland river warships in the past, plus the newly added warships in the past two years, the maneuverability of the Gyeonggi Army is not a problem.

Gao Huaiyuan lay on the table and counted the strength and combat effectiveness of several major theaters, and after counting, he dropped the charcoal pen and laughed...

"Hey, hey! 400,000 more, no less! Basically enough! This does not include the number of auxiliaries, if you count the auxiliaries that can be used at any time in various places, there are still 300,000 auxiliaries alone, and the 700,000 army is known as a million heroes crossing the river, I am afraid that they will be birds! Ha ha! Gao Huaiyuan said to Hua Yue and the others sitting below with a smug face.

"It's all the hard work of adults over the years! Looking at the world, who would dare to compete with me? Hua Yue was also in a very good mood, and couldn't help but praise Gao Huaiyuan.

"Less flatter me! If I were alone, I wouldn't have such a great ability to dismantle it! It's all up to you people! At the same time, we can't forget Lord Zhen, Lord Wei and others, without them to take care of the housework for us, just raising so many soldiers and horses, we would all starve to death! Hehe! Restoring the country with force and governing the country with culture are indispensable! After Gao Huaiyuan humbled himself, he didn't forget to praise Wenchen like Zhen Dexiu...

Hua Yue looked at some folds on his hand, touched the beautiful hair on his chin, and handed a copy of the folds reported by Meng Heng to Gao Huaiyuan and said, "It seems that the Jin Kingdom is going to be in chaos!" It seems that all the money that Wanyan Shouxu can scrape is now gone, and they can't come up with more money to support the Jin Kingdom! Meng Heng handed over a new report, take a look at this note submitted by Lord Meng! ”

Gao Huaiyuan stretched out his hand to take it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "This is expected, Jin Guo will come to this point sooner or later!" It seems that we don't have to wait until August, and if things continue to develop like this, we can start working in May!

It is the spring famine season in Jinguo, and we can send troops at the time of the wheat harvest, which can also reduce some of the demand for grain, otherwise just to feed those Han people in Henan, I am afraid it will not be solved by hundreds of thousands of stone grain! Let the people of Henan finish harvesting this season's grain, let's not be too late! ”

It turned out that the report submitted by Meng Hui was about the situation on the Jin side, after more than a year of Yan Shouxu's search, although the Jin State seemed to have changed in a good direction and withstood the repeated attacks of the Mongol army, but the national strength had been completely exhausted, and the rich people in the Jin State were about to be looted together, and some people saw that they could not hold on, so they began to secretly contact the Southern Song Dynasty and asked to surrender to the Southern Song Dynasty.

Since February after the year, the Jin State has not been able to come up with any money to buy grain and armor from the Song Dynasty, and the three major cities have begun to fade, and the Jin State has recently sent envoys to Lin'an again, looking for Gao Huaiyuan to ask the Southern Song Dynasty to owe one million stone grain and 100,000 sets of armor on credit to help them survive this period of spring famine, but Gao Huaiyuan immediately refused, no money to talk about, and such a business is absolutely not done on credit.

After Gao Huaiyuan finished speaking, he took out a piece of information from his desk and handed it to Hua Yue and said, "You can take a look at the information submitted by the Military Command Department!" ”
