Chapter 187: Looking Forward?
What about the benefits?
What kind of benefits do I get?
Just give me a sentence directly after conquering the Great Song Dynasty, and give me the northwest lands of the Great Song Dynasty?
That's it?
What kind of bullshit is this?
It's like a guy saying, "Work with me."
When we get to the United States, I'll give you the White House.
This is pure.
At this time, the emperor of Western Xia only felt that the golden envoy in front of him was teasing himself.
Fooling yourself for a fool.
The majesty of the party and the state is also part of the ceremonial factor.
The emperor put the letter written by Wanyan Wu Qimai on the table next to him, and said: "Your Excellency, you may not know that the Song army's army on the northwest road now has 500,000. ”
"Not to mention whether you can conquer the Central Plains of the Great Song Dynasty, even if our party's elite is exhausted, I am afraid that we will not be able to eat the 500,000 Song army."
"What? There are so many in the Northwest Army? Wu Zhaohu was surprised, and his brows furrowed.
The face is incredible.
"Yes, the sentinels of our dynasty are always observing the border army in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty, and they added 200,000 troops three months ago!"
The Emperor of Western Xia said with a serious expression, "Now the person who commands the Northwest Army is called Chen Xinghan, and the slogan of that person's training is to expel the Tartars and recover the lost territory. ”
After being surprised for a short time, Wu Zhaohu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The Emperor of Western Xia frowned and said, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"Your Majesty, in the eyes of my Jin Dynasty, no matter how many Song troops there are, they are just a rabble. Before, the Song Dynasty boasted of having a million troops, so what was the result? The four famous generals of the Northwest Army died and surrendered, and the military towns in the north were also swept by our Jin Dynasty iron cavalry. ”
"Now the young general of the Northwest Army is just a mouthful."
"Please wait and see, Your Majesty, in October this year, my million-dollar army will encroach on the Central Plains, and the 500,000 straw bales of the Northwest Army will inevitably flee from the wind and be unsystematic."
Although Wu Zhaohu said so, he also had careful thoughts in his heart.
That is the place where the Northwest Army is stationed, which belongs to the military town that the emperors of the Song Dynasty focused on.
In addition, the Northwest Army of the Great Song Dynasty was martial and modest.
Therefore, this news should definitely not be ignored.
Wu Zhaohu was secretly happy in his heart, he couldn't imagine that he had made an envoy to Western Xia and actually got such good news from such a golden man.
When you return to the station this time, you must report to the South King as soon as possible.
Even if Wu Zhaohu was boasting here, the emperor of Western Xia did not dare to risk his life.
And when the emperor said that the Jin people could help them attack the northwest of the Song Dynasty.
Wu Zhaohu was silent.
I have to say that the Tangut people also played a good conspiracy.
They told the Jin people that as long as the Jin people conquered the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty, they would unite with the Jin state.
He also said to the Song people, as long as you hold the next wave of attacks by the Jin people, they will unite with the Great Song.
Of course, the latter idea was suggested and adopted by Richard and the emperor of Western Xia.
At the same time, Sun Fu has completed his mission and is ready to return.
It was inconvenient for Richard to come forward, so he sent Wang Xingyuan to see him off.
In order to show the importance that Western Xia attached to those conditions of the Song Dynasty this time, Wang Xingyuan returned the one thousand taels of gold that Sun Fu had given him.
That's what Richard meant.
After all, no one is going to bother with money.
Wang Xingyuan also understood that he had made a great contribution in front of the prince this time.
As long as the two parties reach a business cooperation in the future.
That opens a new chapter.
At that time, with Brother Richard's dominance within the Western Xia court, will he still be short of money?
Not bad!
Although there were irreconcilable contradictions between the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty.
But everything can be solved with money.
After all, the person who decided the strategic policy of the general direction of Western Xia was the powerful minister in the court.
And not the common people.
Moreover, there is a precondition for all cooperation.
That is, the inviting party should show sincerity.
The sincerity of the Jin people is like a blank check in comparison.
But it also comes with risks.
When the Song Dynasty had only 160,000 people in the Northwest Army, it was suppressed and beaten by the Great Song Dynasty all these years.
Today, the Northwest Army of the Great Song Dynasty has increased to 500,000.
They didn't dare to make friends with Jin Guo rashly.
Two days later.
Sun Fu returned to the garrison camp of the Northwest Army with the mission.
Three days later, Chen Xinghan drafted a memo from the northwest and sent it to Bianliang City with Sun Fu and his party.
In his recital, Chen Xinghan gave a detailed account of the overall situation of the Northwest Army that he was currently managing and the problems he had encountered.
Since he settled in the northwest, plus the 200,000 rebels he brought from Beijing before, he and the 70,000 troops of the original Northwest Army totaled 770,000.
Another 230,000 troops were mobilized and recruited.
has completed the goal that Zhao Shuo had set for him before.
But the soldiers are enough.
But there were no weapons or armor.
Previously, Li Yanhui issued a decree urging Rooney of the Armaments Department to send new armor to the Northwest Army.
But that can only be armed with the elite.
The old armor worn by the elites was replaced by Chen Xinghan on some of the recruits.
Even so, 200,000 of the 500,000 troops were unarmed and unarmoured.
Such a unit, of course, cannot have combat effectiveness.
So Zhao Shuo now has to put pressure on the Armaments Division.
But Rooney, that man had tried hard enough.
Therefore, the Ministry of Industry could only be ordered to expand the size of the Armaments Division.
At the same time, craftsmen were transferred from all over the country.
October is still more than two months away.
If you work overtime to forge, you can complete the armament of the army to three or four hundred thousand.
This is already quite an achievement.
In addition, Zhao Shuo also watched the twists and turns sent from Beijing City to Bianliang City.
It is a summary of the situation in the defense area by the old general Zong Ze.
He is the oldest of the many generals who built the military town, but he is also full of energy and the most vigorous.
He has already stationed 50,000 troops in Luzhou.
and garrisoned 50,000 troops in Cheng'an County, which was 170 miles away from Luzhou.
Subsequently, an army of 80,000 troops was arranged in the city of Beijing.
And trained 100,000 recruits in Xiangzhou.
At present, the progress of armament retraining is very high, and the results of individual soldier assessment are very impressive.
It can be fully equipped in two months.
In this way, Zong Ze also has an army of 280,000.
His strategic focus was to resist the main attack route of the Jin people heading straight to Bianliang City.
Therefore, the pressure on Zong Ze's defensive line is not insignificant.
The six million taels of silver that Zhao Shuo had invested in Zong Ze's defense line had already entered Hebei.
But that amount of money is really a drop in the bucket for a military town.
In the face of all kinds of expenses, silver taels are consumed as quickly as a river.
Zhao Shuo also saw it clearly in the folds presented by Uncle Zhang.
At this stage, in order to strengthen the defense of the military town, the army in the north has begun to recruit a large number of local people to serve as coolies.
Previously a soldier in a military town.
But the will of the soldiers was not very high.
After all, they just received a military salary.
Let them do two things.
