Riding on the horse, Bianliang City gradually moved away, looking back at Bianliang City, Zhao Pu's heart was full of sadness.

If you leave Bianliang, you may never come back, and before long, Bianliang will turn into a real hell, and tens of thousands of women will be taken captive and humiliated; The two emperors were captured and taken away, and many ministers, as well as skilled craftsmen, were taken captive.

At that time, Bianliang will also decline completely.

Farewell, Bianliang!

Riding on the horse, Zhao Pu was a little uncomfortable, his buttocks and legs were bumping up and down, extremely uncomfortable, but he could only insist.

And at this moment, his position is to supervise the army, following the brigade in the division, the 30,000 western army is advancing to the north, rescue Hedong, rescue Taiyuan, may be lost, may be death, but must go, you can't watch Taiyuan lose and send troops to rescue!

Along the way, other troops joined in, and finally formed an army of 80,000, which could finally fight a battle.

The superintendent, a peculiar position at this time, can be large or small, and the hour is only a nominal position; When it is big, it can be overthrown by the marshal and become the real commander of the army.

The supervising army is similar to the political commissar of the PLA era.

And he, the prison army, has no power, the emperor's brother is not at ease to hand over a large army to him, and the breeder is also avoiding suspicion, so naturally he will not have too much to do with him, the prince. Along the way, there are less than ten words spoken.

The planter only asked Zhao Pu to take the carriage, but was rejected by Zhao Pu with righteous words, the reason was to share the weal and woe with the soldiers, and the real reason was that it was too inconvenient to run away in the carriage.

As the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Pu has been pampered, and the technical work of riding a horse will naturally not be done, but it will not be able to, and it will not be able to run away at a critical moment, all relying on this horse, it is comfortable to sit in the carriage, but it is extremely inconvenient to run, and it is easiest to become a prisoner.

In order to live and live a nourishing life, one must learn to ride a horse

Along the way, Zhao Pu studied silently, followed the veterans to learn how to ride horses, and asked the veterans some basic common sense.

As the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Pu knows a lot of truths, and can say the great truth of the theory of six wins and six defeats, but he does not understand some basic common sense, such as how much grain per mu is in the Great Song Dynasty, how high the literacy rate of the Song soldiers is, what is the monthly salary of the Song soldiers, the basic essentials of cavalry combat, and where is the most appropriate place to be when setting up camp and how to prevent poisoning; How to deal with night raids.

This knowledge is extremely messy, extremely trivial, and very ordinary, but there is great wisdom in the ordinary.

Some of Zhao Pu's past concepts were also gradually corrected, such as the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, who mostly ate two meals a day instead of three meals a day; In the fields of the north of the Great Song Dynasty, good land can produce five quintals of grain, which is good land; And the land that can produce two loads in the south is good land. Even in the south, intensive cultivation is prevalent, and the harvest of double-cropping rice is four quintals.

Compared with later generations, hybrid rice, corn, potatoes, etc., are thousands of catties and more than a dozen quintals at every turn, which is much worse.

And the soldiers' salaries have not been paid for five consecutive months, not because the farmers have deducted the salaries, but because the imperial court has not paid the Western Army for more than a year, and some of the salaries are still donated by the gentry, or the farmers make up for it with their own family property.

The fire consumption of the western army was extremely serious, and after being skinned layer by layer by household department and local officials, it was lucky that three layers could finally fall into the hands of the soldiers.

The annual salary of soldiers in the Song Dynasty was between 36 and 55 yuan, which was always equal to about 300 yuan, that is, a soldier could earn 10,800-16,500 yuan a year. That is, a soldier's monthly income is 900 yuan to 1,400 yuan. But in fact, after layers of peeling, in the end, Song Jun's income was between 300 yuan and 500 yuan a month.

The value of money here is not measured by how much gold is equal to, nor by how much silver is equal to, but by how much rice can be bought. In the Great Song Dynasty, when grain production was low, grain could be described as a real hard currency, and grain could buy gold and silver, but gold and silver could not necessarily buy grain.

For example, in today's Bianliang, there are still some coins in the treasury, but there is no way to buy food.

Between 300 yuan and 500 yuan a month, the rice bought could feed a family of seven or eight people, which was very difficult, and the life of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty was very hard.

Zhao Pu couldn't help complaining in his heart: This is to let the horses run, but also not to give the horses grazing, in this case, it is very difficult to win the battle, no wonder the Song army has been defeated repeatedly.

And the most unbearable thing is that the army is about to go on the march, but there is not enough food and grass.

Before the soldiers and horses moved, the grain and grass went first, this is the common sense that military illiterate people know. But the army had already been dispatched, and the food was still not ready. If you don't have all the food, you have to go on the road, and you can't just don't send troops because of the lack of food!

Along the way, it can only be dry and thin, the morning meal is dry, and the afternoon meal is thin. Zhao Pu did an experiment, there was no trace of oil in the dry rice, and the chopsticks were stuck in the porridge, and the chopsticks could not stand up.

If there is not enough food, you can only make up for it with wild vegetables on the road, whether it tastes good or not, as long as you can be full.

Luckily, spring has arrived, which is a good season for wild vegetables to grow.

There are wild vegetables to dig up, but even so, how many wild vegetables do you need for 30,000 people? In most cases, even if you eat wild vegetables, you will not be satisfied.

Looking at the soldiers in the dishes, Zhao Pu felt sad in his heart, he couldn't eat enough, and he had to carry 32 kilograms on the road, and he had to march 60 miles a day, and he still walked on a mountain road. And he rode a horse, and every day he still felt pain in his buttocks, and his legs were blistered, and he felt extremely miserable. People can't be compared with each other.

The soldiers lack vitality in their eyes, they seem to lack fighting spirit, they don't know the importance of rescuing Taiyuan, they don't know why they want to rescue Taiyuan, they just have blind trust in the planters, who they are willing to plant with, and the two brothers in the planters fight, even if they are taken to hell, they don't care.

In addition, the military discipline of the Western Army was very poor, and it was impossible to carry out good orders and prohibitions, and it was also able to freeze to death without demolishing houses, and starving to death without looting.

If it was according to the temper of the past, Zhao Pu would still step forward to teach this group of soldiers a lesson and train the military discipline, but at this moment Zhao Pu remained silent.

In the world, there is only one Yuejia army; Similarly, in the world, there is only one Qi family army.

Although the family army is strong, it is still much inferior to these two strong armies.

Yue's army, attaching importance to the quality of individual soldiers, has defeated the Jin Army's Xiren Department and Khitan Department, defeated the Jin Army's Jurchen Department by horses, and repeatedly defeated the Jin Army, which is the mainstay of the anti-Jin Dynasty, supporting half of the Southern Song Dynasty. ”

The Qi family army is a joint operation, and the mandarin duck array is a sharp weapon in close combat, and each battle is often broken by ten to hundred, by hundred, by thousand, and by thousand, only five thousand elite soldiers will exterminate the invading Japanese invaders.

Both of these armies left a great reputation when they resisted foreign invasions. However, the family army was destroyed on the road of resisting Jin and became a stepping stone for the Jin army to become strong.

There must be a cause for strength, and there must be an effect for decline.

There are reasons for the rise of the Yue family army and the Qi family army; The destruction of the family army has its cause and effect.

…………

Since learning that Zhao Pu, the king of Yi, was going to travel with the army and serve as the supervisor of the army, the seed master center was extremely dissatisfied. A prince doesn't stay in Bianliang well, but he wants to go out with the army, isn't this adding to the chaos? Is this a war, or is it to protect you!

During the founding of the country, Song Taizong went to the Liao State, but was defeated at the Gaoliang River, and Song Taizong almost became a prisoner, and was shot with an arrow in the leg when he ran away, and became lame. This story, telling the emperor, don't drive the expedition in person, it looks beautiful, but in fact, the battlefield is very dangerous, and one accidentally dies.

Swords and guns have no eyes, on the battlefield, soldiers and emperors are equal, and they will not deliberately avoid you because you are the true dragon emperor, and the sword will still bleed and die if the sword pierces into it.

When the planter thought of this big burden, he was worried.

But soon his opinion of this prince changed. He has seen many prison soldiers, who are either eunuchs or literati, most of them ride in carriages, and rarely ride horses, because riding on horses is too bumpy, and ordinary people can't stand it. And His Royal Highness the King of Yi, who can't ride a horse, but still refuses to take the carriage, he did suffer a lot at first, according to the soldiers, the prince's thighs have blisters of blood, but he still insists.

I continued to learn from the old soldiers, and gradually learned to ride a horse, and I was no longer guilty like that.

This prince is a literati and doesn't know the art of battlefield fighting, so he began to learn the art of fighting from veterans, and he continued to do so, although the level was still very poor, but at least he tried his best.

There is a shortage of grain and grass in the army, not only his western army, but also the western army that rescued Taiyuan on several other roads, but also lack of grain and grass, there is no way, the Bianhe River is broken, and there is a shortage of grain and grass. As a general, most of his meals are steamed buns, pickles, rice porridge, and some wild vegetables, and this prince's meals are also these, I thought that this prince would not be able to eat these simple meals, even if he finally swallowed it, he would complain a lot.

But this prince is good, he didn't frown a few times, and he gobbled up the food, not disgusted at all. If he didn't know the identity of this prince, he would think that this prince was a fake.

When asked why, the prince replied: "The steamed buns here are at least fresh, and the steamed buns I ate in Jinying are moldy!" “

After getting along for a long time, the planters are also very satisfied with this prince.

As a prisoner, this prince didn't ask too much about military matters, nor did he ask about some important military matters, but just silently followed the team, checked the map, and then wrote and drew on the ground. If asked, he answered; If someone doesn't ask, he doesn't answer, and he looks like a good baby.

Soon crossed the Yellow River and advanced towards the Jinnan area.

…………

At this moment, Zhao Pu looked at the map and was in a daze.

Although his historical knowledge is very poor, he also knows that the shame of Jingkang happened, and the battle of Taiyuan to relieve the siege also failed, and Taiyuan finally fell. The Song army that rescued was broken by each one in the battle of the Jin army's encirclement and reinforcements, and the dead were killed, wounded, and disabled, one was annihilated, and the other was reduced to stragglers and joined the anti-Jin rebel army.

It seems that the planters are also "glorious".

As for the specific course of the battle, how it was beaten by the Jin army, and how it was finally sacrificed, everything is a passing or vague statement.

No way, Jing Kang is ashamed, it's too shameful. In the face of shame, the world selectively forgets, covering up the real history, leaving behind a false and even absurd history.

In the history books, it is written that the mud horse crossed King Kang, but it is not written that King Kang dug the dam of the Yellow River to stop the Jin army's iron cavalry, so hundreds of people were drowned, and the Yellow River was diverted and flowed into Huaishui. This move, comparable to that of Chairman Chiang in later generations, dug up the Yellow River dam and formed the Yellow River floodplain.

Historical records record that Zhao Gou, a bow that can pull five buckets (about 200 catties) with one stone, is a typical strong man, and a brave general. But in fact, he was not brave at all, he did not go into battle to kill the enemy, but ran away from the general, fled all the way south, and when he fled to Yangzhou, he was in a circle with a certain woman, and as a result, the Jin army entered the city, and he was so frightened that he became impotence.

It is also written in history that the slogan of Yue Fei's Northern Expedition was "Straight to the Yellow Dragon and Welcome Back the Second Sage". Why is it the "two saints", not the "two emperors". Because the Yellow River is clear, the sage comes out, in the era when Huizong of the Song Dynasty was the emperor, the Yellow River was clear, according to superstition, it was the sage who was born. But this sage led the Great Song Dynasty to its destruction.

Song Qinzong and Song Huizong were timid and afraid of death, and wanted to take the initiative to surrender and save their lives like Li Yu, so they went out of the city and presented a surrender table to the Jin army. However, the history books say that in order to avoid the occurrence of the Bianliang Massacre, the two saints sacrificed themselves for others, imitated the Buddha to cut meat and feed the eagle, and sacrificed themselves to the golden camp.

History is true, but history books are false.

In this way, Zhao Pu continued to move forward with the army of people while learning from the people,

In May 1126 (the first year of Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty, the fourth year of Jintianhui), the Northern Song Dynasty court organized the army to rescue Taiyuan again, and the division advanced westward from Jingcheng in Hebei, and the other two generals, Yao Gu and Zhang Hao went north from Changzhi and Fenzhou respectively, and the three armies were horns for each other to relieve the siege of Taiyuan.
