Chapter 446: Armament Battle

In the early days of becoming the queen, Queen Pei Man was still a good woman who could manage her family and finances, and she sang with her husband and wife, and she could be called a virtuous helper...... But with the early death of her son and her husband's intermittent psychopath due to alcohol dependence, Empress Pei Man felt that she should go from the harem to the foreground, help her husband deal with the government and manage the country, and change to the number one inside and outside, hoping that one day she could become a woman like Empress Lu and Empress Wu.

However, when Empress Pei Man had just conceived this idea and began to think about participating in the affairs of the imperial court, she came to power just in time for the vultures who had won the victory in the internal strife, which made her good wishes come to naught. But once people have ** on power, they will grow like weeds, it is the wildfire that burns inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blows and grows! Empress Pei Man is the same, her pursuit of power has made her ambition extremely inflated, and she is willing to give up her pursuit lightly.

However, Empress Pei Man is still quite sober and knows that her ideas are unlikely to be realized during the reign of Wushu, because her military and political circles in the Jin Kingdom are all power-leaning towards the government and the opposition, and basically no one dares to compete with Wushu for power and profit, and the fate of Tian Yu and others is a good proof. But there is more than one road to Rome, and she can't fight openly, but she can come secretly, so she used her special status to start influencing the emperor to complete his face and cultivate her own team.

The first thing that Pei Man likes is Wan Yanliang, needless to say that his relationship with the emperor is not to mention, the two are cousins and young, and they have won the trust of Wushu, one of the key training goals. Under the support of the two bigwigs, Wan Yanliang's political career was naturally very smooth, almost jumping one level in one year and four levels in two years, and entered Shangshu Province and gradually approached the highest leadership body of the Jin State. It has a certain status in the DPRK.

A young talent with a bright future like Wan Yanliang is naturally a talent that Empress Pei Man urgently needs, and he can be used as a reserve cadre to master the government in the future. So she used the emperor to satisfy her government. also used the woman's biggest capital to win over Yan Liang, which made the relationship between the two heat up quickly. An alliance was formed. And they can hit it off, in addition to the kind of relationship that cannot be expressed, it is still the law of things gathering people by groups of things at work.

Empress Pei Man and Wan Yan Liang are both madmen who are extremely ambitious in politics and do not hesitate to chase power, and the fornication of both sides is to obtain their own political interests. Empress Pei Man's purpose is to form a party for personal gain and control the government, while Wan Yanliang's purpose is even more terrifying, and he can't tell anyone, Pei Man is just a stepping stone to his superiority, and a tool for him to hide his purpose.

Of course, only one hairy boy can't achieve his goal. Pei Man still needs respected people to help him and cheer for him, so the number one pen in the literary circle of Dajin Guo has become her target. Wan Yan Miao is of noble birth, he is the son of Mu Zong Wan Yan Yingge, the younger brother of Da Lazy, and Ah Guta are the same generation, and enjoy high prestige in the family.

What's even more rare is that Wan Yan and his eldest brother have taken two completely different political lines, and they actively support Wan Yan Yan's Sinicization reform, and they are ruthless in the center of the struggle to suppress Zongxuan, and they work very hard in verbal and written criticism. He has won the 'good name' of being upright and quiet, daring to give direct advice, thus paving the way for his career, and now he is in the official residence and political affairs. Such a big man can be summoned by Empress Pei Man under his command. Of course, it doesn't depend on beauty, but it should be thanked for the mediocrity of Wan Yan.

In the chaotic years of Wan Yan Kang's alcoholism, Wan Yan Miao was one of the few people who dared to dissuade Wan Yan Jiao. even once advised Yan Yan to quit drinking in person. After that, he may have lost confidence and hope in Wanyan Kang, who was already semi-insane, and the unauthorized power of Wushu also disgusted him. So Wan Yan began to look for a new political power in the court, and Empress Pei Man's timely appearance in the political arena of the Jin State. He saw his new political partner, so he joined the ranks of the post-party.

Since then, several figures of the Zonghan family, who have lost in the struggle against Wushu, have also joined Pei Man's camp, including Wanyan Bingde, the grandson of Zonghan who has just entered the center as the governor of Pingzhang, and the younger brother of Zonghan and the great writer Wanyan Zongxian. There is also Xiao Zhonggong, the former minister of Liao, who is a very diplomatic genius, and it was he who fooled Zhao Huan and prompted the Jin State to move the second war of southward invasion of the Song Dynasty.

Empress Pei Man's scheduled team is a combination of old, middle and young, and the civil and military generals are all complete, and they will wait for the day when the vultures return to heaven. But the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and the vultures took the lead. He asked to see the emperor after not entering the palace for a long time, and the two talked for a long time, as for what they said, no one knew, even Empress Pei Man, who had placed a large number of people in the palace, did not inquire about a word, and obviously felt that the emperor was more wary in his eyes.

The next day, Wushu personally presided over the Great Dynasty, saying that the Northern Tour of Zhao Er of the Southern Dynasty was 'Zhuang Gong Dancing Sword', which was intended to offend our Dajin, and in order to prevent trouble before it happened, it was necessary to strengthen the armament, and reinstate the left and right marshals' mansions, and was in charge of the war in the two directions of Liaodong and Liaoxi. With Wan Yanliang as the marshal of the left road, and Sa Liyu as the left prison army, he defended the passage of the south to the north in Jinzhou Kaifu; With Fusan Zhongyi as the right marshal, Wanyan Bingde as the supervising army, he opened a mansion in Changchun Prefecture to guard against the south-west access road.

At the same time, adjustments were made to the officials of the DPRK and China. With Wanyan Yanying as the deputy commander of the internal and external capital, the governor of Pingzhang; to Wan Yan Yong for Tokyo Liaoyang to stay; With Fu Shi Lie Zhining as the secretary of the military department, and also the commander of the soldiers and horses in Beijing. After Yan Miao was crowned King Zhao, the emperor remembered the number of years and saw the old, so that he could retire for the elderly; Wanyan Zongxian entered the National History Museum and compiled and revised history. Wanyan Zongxian was promoted to the Taibao and Shangshu Zuo Prime Minister, and the left deputy commander; Xingtai Zuo Prime Minister Xiao Zhonggong was promoted to Shangshu Zuo Prime Minister; Wanyan Zongben succeeded him as the right prime minister of Shangshu.

In a single day, the Wushu made frequent and complex changes to the key members of the Jin State's management, which can be described as "complex and dazzling" in two idioms. Of course, there are two main reasons for this chaotic phenomenon of personnel changes:

The first reason is that Wushu has felt that the successors and important ministers he has cultivated have colluded with the empress, threatening the security of the imperial throne, and he must nip them in the bud before the struggle between the two parties is incompatible, and cannot let them take root. But Wushu still showed mercy to his subordinates, and did not beat them to death with a stick, leaving them with a chance to mend their ways, but they also used guò to quickly cut through the chaos and dismantle the queen's team.

The second reason is that Wushu understands based on his many years of experience in struggle that if he wants to defeat his opponent in the DPRK, then he must occupy a dominant position in the DPRK, that is, he must be able to control the military and political power in the DPRK. Therefore, in the struggle for several important posts in the Third Division and Xingtai Shangshu Province, there is a struggle for power and not an inch of land, and the opponent cannot be left with any chance to turn the tables.

After a series of personnel adjustments were completed, Wushu ordered to speed up the construction of boundary moats, strengthen the city, hoard grain and grass, build weapons, and actively prepare for war. His goal was clear, which was to use the boundary trench to block the Song army's attack while consuming most of their forces. Then take the opportunity to fight a defensive counterattack to drive the Song army back into the Great Wall, gain population and resources for the further development of the Jin state, win a stable strategic buffer zone, and contain the further expansion of the Great Song Dynasty......

…………

While the Jin Kingdom was carrying out large-scale personnel changes and actively preparing for war, as if there was telepathy, Zhao Ta was also adjusting the army. Now the Great Song Dynasty has seven Zhenfu Divisions, four naval divisions and 6 brigades, 12 generals of the forbidden army, directly under the Guards Army, the Desert Army, the Cavalry Hunting Army and two artillery brigades, with a strength of nearly 300,000 troops. Coupled with the more than 100,000 state troops belonging to each road, there are 400,000 troops. Zhao Ta set up five Zhenfu divisions in the north, and the allocation of troops was also in the shape of the north and the south, and still maintained the posture of the previous dynasties to expand or defend the northwest, but now it is obvious that the Jin State is the main object of war.

Now, with the inclusion of Mobei and Gaochang in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the concept of the northwest has been refreshed again, so it is necessary to make new adjustments, and Zhao Ta decided to set up the Northwest Road to manage Mobei and Gaochang. Based on the fact that these two places are vast and sparsely populated, and the land is barren, it is difficult to support a large number of troops, so he followed Chen Dong's method of using the imperial border of the past dynasties with the tunken army as the main force and the forbidden army as the supplement, and only placed one army in Zhenzhou and Gaochang, and the troop strength was controlled within 20,000 people.

After the plan was completed, Zhao Ta issued an edict to set up the Northwest Road, with Chen Dong as the envoy of the Northwest Road; The establishment of the Northwest Zhenfu Division, in Zhenzhou set up the marshal's mansion, with part of the Longyi Army in the Western Expeditionary Army and the tribal army accompanying the Western Expedition to form the Jingbian Army, with a strength of 20,000 troops, using the 44th formation to form an army, with Chang as the Jingbian Army under control. Gao Chong and Zhao Li returned to Beijing immediately after the formation was completed, and they were appointed separately.

Since artillery has played a decisive role in previous wars, and with the growth of the artillery corps and the renewal of equipment, it is necessary to strengthen leadership. Subsequently, Zhao Ta decided to reorganize the Privy Council, separate the artillery from the infantry division, and set up the artillery department, with Zhao Xiao as the capital. Now that the trial production of iron artillery has been successful, and it can be produced in batches, and a system has been formed, the bottleneck of output has finally been broken, and Zhao Ta ordered the formation of two new artillery brigades directly under the Jiangwutang Artillery School on the basis of the two graduates of the Jiangwutang Artillery School. In addition, the machine gun teams directly under the central and central armies were expanded and divided into machine gun battalions and artillery battalions to strengthen the firepower at the grassroots level.

Next, Zhao Ta began to carry out a major readjustment of the whole army, changing the troops that had participated in the Western Expedition and the Expedition in recent years to the front line, and vigorously promoting officers with actual combat experience. In the future, the form of warfare against Jin has changed, and it will be mainly based on siege and obstacle breaking, and the opportunity for field warfare will be reduced. Therefore, while strengthening the training of the dragoons in siege and defensive operations, and also enriching the strength of the infantry troops, and studying new tactics, we must not relax in the training of engineer blasting and the study of siege equipment. The changes in the tactics of the Jin army also posed a challenge to the hussars, and they also had to make new changes...... (To be continued......)
