Chapter 510: The situation is actually not so bad

"Special! The system is too doggy, what kind of is this third-stage task called~"

Hu Biao, who was biting his back molars, scolded with some indignation in his mouth.

Let him have such a strong reaction now, all because of the system's sudden, a bit urgent as the third phase of the mission.

You must know that half an hour ago, he was still in the luxurious back garden of Hufu, preparing a bunch of chicken wings, beef, and pork belly.

I'm ready to make an appointment with a young lady from a certain family to have a Northern Song Dynasty version of the buffet barbecue.

He was not prepared to deal with each other how, but together with the last barbecue, there was no effect on the not.

As a result, the voice of the system sounded and the relevant content was heard.

He knew one thing clearly: in this mission world, he was afraid that he would no longer have the time and mood to have such a barbecue.

There was no mood until the task was completed.

By the time the mission was complete, they had been teleported back.

In the following time, Hu Biao rode a Jurchen horse because of the captive method and often fed black beans and other fine feed.

Therefore, relatively speaking, the more majestic war horses hurried towards the Privy Council.

After arriving at the place, almost all the netizens who found everyone in Kaifeng City have now arrived; Even Xu Feng's buddy asked the guards to send him over in a carriage.

Seeing that everyone has arrived, there is no need to say much about the rest of the things.

Of course, it's the old rule, so let's sit down and have a meeting together to discuss how to deal with these things.

It's just that after sitting down one after another, everyone obviously still hasn't fully reacted to this unexpected arrival of the third phase of the task.

For a while, you looked at me, I looked at you, and there were a few people who looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Hu Biao burst out of his mouth with the first foul language.

Scolding the street and scolding the street, Hu Biao actually knew that he was the commander of a team, and there was also a top military attache of the highest military organization such as the Great Song Dynasty Privy Envoy.

Just complaining and scolding the street, these things are useless.

We must find a way to boost everyone's confidence and morale, give better play to our subjective initiative, and work together to formulate some proper plans.

So in the ensuing time, after taking a deep breath, he allowed himself to force himself into the state.

First of all, to the singer, this Xichang factory official who is in charge of external intelligence, asked: "Song factory official, how is the latest situation on the Jinren's side?" ”

Although in the past few days, the singer has spent most of his time recuperating, but for some key work, this little brother has not been left behind.

After facing Hu Biao's inquiry, he replied without a stumble:

"According to our West Factory, we have adopted the news transmitted back by flying pigeons, fast horses, etc.

The Jin people who fled in Zhuxian Town, after resting in Luoyang for a day or two, gave up Luoyang yesterday and crossed the river to return to the north; Today, south of the Yellow River, there are no Jin people.

The Western Route Army that the Jin people withdrew, led by Wanyan Sali and Wanyan Hun Deposed, these two Jurchen commanders, still have a total of 73,400 people under their command.

Among them, there are less than 20,000 Jurchens.

In addition, outside the city of Xiangzhou, Wanyan Yanmu's Western Route Army, which confronted Yue's army, felt that the situation was not good, and secretly ran away three days ago; The Jurchens in his army numbered only about 6,000. ”

After hearing such a statement, Hu Biao was obviously surprised at first.

The main reason is that the group of Western Route Army soldiers who fled in Zhuxian Town still has a scale of more than 70,000 people.

Because the Jin soldiers who fought fiercely with them in Zhu Xianzhen initially only had about 310,000 troops; The number of kills and prisoners is almost 290,000.

Logically speaking, shouldn't only 20,000 people run away?

But after thinking about it carefully, the data given by the singer should be correct.

According to the statistics after the war, among the Jin soldiers they killed and captured, there were actually tens of thousands of people who were originally powerful in Luoyang, Dengfeng and other places who surrendered to the Jin people's troops.

When I think of this, I don't think it's strange.

It was nothing more than fighting to the back, because of the heavy casualties, Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan and other commanders also filled in the battlefield with these soldiers and horses, which were originally only used as logistics.

Therefore, the total strength of the Jin soldiers in Zhuxian Town should have reached 3.67 million.

However, in this way, the Jin Bing's eastern and western armies combined, there are almost 100,000 people who have fled back.

plus Wanyan Zongbi, who returned early, as well as the Tiefu Tu under his command, and the forces that can be mobilized under the follow-up full strength of the Jurchens.

When they officially went on a northern expedition, they were still able to toss a large army of considerable size.

If Hu Biao and they had enough time, none of the above would be a problem.

For them, it's just more captives to deal with.

The crux of the matter is that they don't have enough time to build up enough new armies to form an overwhelming advantage.

forcibly suppressing the anxiety in his heart because of all the above; Hu Biao, the commander who died on the street, began to take the initiative to analyze it for everyone.

Specifically, there are some advantages they currently have.

Trying to make everyone understand that although the third stage of the mission is difficult, they are not hopeless.

The result? In the continuous analysis of his mouth, he actually succeeded in improving his own morale and that of other netizens......

******

After coughing twice with 'cough~' and attracting everyone's attention.

Hu Biao began to be serious and cheered everyone up:

"Brothers, don't be so frustrated, in fact, if you think about it, we don't have no advantage at all, and this task is not completely hopeless.

Today is 21 October, four months and nine days before the deadline for the end of the mission.

Counting the time it takes to go to Yanjing in the north, as well as the time reserved for fighting, we still have three months to use to recruit troops, train and form an army.

At first glance, the time is indeed a bit rushed.

But if you think about it carefully, counting the wounded who can re-enter the army after their injuries have healed, we should still have 37,800 veterans and officers.

These veterans and officers who have been on the battlefield and experienced bloody battles are our greatest wealth at present.

With their inheritance and help, becoming the backbone of the new army should enable the rapid formation of a larger new army, and the key is that the overall combat effectiveness will not be reduced much.

So I decided to recruit troops on a large scale starting tomorrow and eventually form a new army of at least 100,000 people. ”

After hearing Hu Biao's statement, after thinking about it seriously in the following time, everyone had to admit that there was really some truth.

The new army of 100,000 people seems to be a lot, but it is just a veteran with two recruits, such a configuration can indeed make rookies grow up quickly.

And the new army of 100,000 people is actually already a very powerful force.

But soon after, Er Fat opened his mouth to ask another very critical question about the formation of such a new army:

"Can we keep up with this new army of 100,000 people in terms of equipment? You must know that in the battle of Zhuxian Town, we suffered heavy losses in muskets and artillery.

The muskets were slightly better, but there were still nearly twelve thousand of them damaged in the battle for various reasons.

The situation was even worse on the artillery side, because of the cooling method that had to be forcibly doused with cold water during the battle, and the barrels of almost all Napoleonic field guns now had hidden dangers.

In these years, there was no flaw detector, and I couldn't do it to check the injuries inside the barrel.

So, you dare to continue to use these things that don't know when they will be blown up? If you really want to use it forcibly, isn't that murder? ”

Faced with such a question, the two people of the Ministry of Industry, Wolf Qing and Wu Shu, gave professional answers respectively.

Wolf Qing: "In terms of artillery, it's really a big problem; Don't use those Napoleonic cannons, otherwise it's tantamount to murder.

According to Jomini's theory, the new army of 100,000 people should be equipped with four artillery pieces according to the standard of 1,000 people, so that 400 artillery pieces need to be deployed.

Frankly speaking, with such a large number of artillery, our Ministry of Engineering is under great pressure on production capacity.

But it is not without hope at all, because in the recent period, we have overcome the difficulty of casting all-steel barreled artillery.

Therefore, there is no shortage of copper, but the construction period is a little tighter.

However, under our rush day and night, even if we can't meet all of them, we should be able to achieve seventy or eighty percent of the output; With the addition of the original small Franc cannon, it should be enough~"

The statement in the wolf's mouth was the end, and the martial guard also spoke:

"In terms of muskets, because the workers are more skilled, the yield rate has been greatly increased, so in three months, 60,000 muskets of length and length should be produced.

As for armor and other cold weapons, this thing isn't a problem at all,"

After hearing the two people from the Ministry of Works, it was basically certain that the key problems of the new army in terms of equipment could be solved, and everyone's morale had obviously improved.

Joke! In such an era of cold weapons, if there are 100,000 firearms troops in hand.

Even the most primitive muskets and artillery, as long as the logistics are ensured, there is no place in the world.

But even so, after Hu Biao's thoughts were distributed, he thought of some other exciting news, and added another sentence when he opened his mouth:

"Brothers, there are actually some better situations.

The so-called three days should be impressive, and now we are no longer in the eyes of the others in the Great Song Dynasty, those unlucky people who are destined to die in the hands of the Jin people and the Song army.

But in their eyes, some big celebrities who want to win the world.

Otherwise, do you think that those bureaucrats, families, and heroes from all over the Great Song Dynasty will send their delicate daughters over to marry us thieves?

In addition, the Guifei Business Division, these two days should be more lively than before, right?

Therefore, simply tell them that whether they want to take advantage of us, or to get a better position in the Great Song Dynasty, or even just want us not to settle accounts.

Don't make any foolish things, just show your sincerity.

Lao Tzu is now a whistle blower, so in the process of this Great Song Dynasty's war against gold, one by one gave me money and powerful contributions.

Troops, supplies, mules and horses, all these were sent to me.

As long as the Northern Expedition is successful, everything will be easy to say in the future, if it affects the big things of Lao Tzu's Northern Expedition, do they think that the bayonets of our new army are unfavorable? ”

The above paragraph, Hu Biao roared when he said the back.

The whole person is indescribably arrogant, that kind of appearance when he speaks, he is very powerful and powerful, and he has a loud taste and posture.

So much so that the concubine, this girl, wanted to give a thumbs up on the spot under the appreciation in her heart.

But after thinking about it for a while, I put my hands on the top of my head, and I made a big comparison; Stop! This little girl makes such an action, which is quite playful and good-looking......

After some in-depth explanation, analysis from many aspects, cheering and cheering, everyone's spirit was finally inspired.

Then they were also exuded with thinking, and they naturally spoke enthusiastically one after another, taking advantage of the flexible braincase.

In the end, after some discussion by everyone, some action plans were formed.

Specifically, such a plan would look something like this.

First, Hu Biao and the others will enter the palace to ask for a meeting with Empress Maode, and no matter what, they must obtain the support of the other party, and finalize the matter of sending troops to the Northern Expedition in early February.

Then, starting tomorrow, seize the time to form a new army of 130,000 people in size.

These new armies were planned to be organized into eight infantry divisions, two field artillery divisions, one rocket artillery division, and two cavalry divisions; Each of the above divisions is 10,000 people.

In addition to the new army, it is planned to form two old-fashioned volunteer divisions of 10,000 men.

The formation of these two volunteer divisions is because everyone took into account that in the huge Song Dynasty, there are actually many people who are skilled in bows and horses and strong in martial arts.

The existence of Yang Zaixing, Yue Fei, Niu Gao and others is the best proof.

In the past, if Hu Shu's envoy issued an official document of recruitment, it is estimated that there are few people who are willing to come to join them in such a broken ship, which is very unrealistic.

But now the situation is completely different, Hu Yitong, Hu Gong and his new army, this is completely a giant ship that is about to set sail.

As the old saying goes: learn literature and martial arts, and sell them to the emperor's family; In terms of the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty, it is actually similar to sell it to Hu Shu's envoy.

Presumably, there are folk masters who are willing to come to the army in exchange for a background.

Based on the skills of these people, the array line used to form the musketeers was somewhat inadequate, so the two volunteer divisions, which were more inclined to old-fashioned cold weapon fighting and melee, began to be formed based on this purpose.

Counting up, Hu Biao plans to form 15 divisions this time, with a total of 150,000 troops.

Second, taking into account the remaining adult males here in Kaifeng City, most of them have been invested in industry and commerce, and the remaining small number of personnel have also invested in the cause of Tuntian.

Therefore, except for the two volunteer divisions, it is open to the entire Great Song Dynasty.

There are about 95,000 recruits left, and Hu Biao and they all plan to recruit from the surrounding areas.

Moreover, such a recruitment period is very short, only half a month at most; The reason is simple, if you drag it off, you won't have time to train.

Third, the noble concubine of the Department of Commerce will go all out to purchase all kinds of war materials from tomorrow.

When hundreds of kinds of materials such as grain, cloth, ore, and medicinal materials were involved, they were written out on a list.

Looking at the astronomical numbers on it, this girl almost didn't go crazy on the spot.

The two of the Ministry of Industry, Wolf Qing and Wu Pawn, need to produce all kinds of equipment with all their might.

In addition, some weapons will be improved if they can.

Not to mention anything else, no matter how much you drop it, you have to get out the grenades, explosives packets, and the ignition devices of these things; Otherwise, in the battle of Zhuxian Town, it turned out that this method of igniting was too troublesome and misguided.

Jinyiwei, East Factory, and West Factory are making every effort to do a good job in internal and external intelligence work.

It also included the liaison with the Yanshan area, Fengrui, Ah Li, War Elephant and other three people, and agreed on the cooperation after the start of the Northern Expedition.

As for the rest of the netizens, it seems that there are not a few left after such a point.

They should not be idle, and they should all devote themselves to the formation and training of the new army.

Fourth, because they are about to leave this mission world in more than four months, some follow-up finishing work can also begin.

Among them, they are no longer military commanders in the new army.

Even when he was unifying the army, he also had to bring Yue Fei, Ma Kuo and others to jointly command, so as not to cause chaos in the new army after they left rashly.

Based on the same reason, the Great Song Dynasty should also make good arrangements.

The various departments of the imperial court where they belong should also train a deputy from their own world, and gradually let him grasp the power of the department, so as to complete the smooth transition of power in the future.

They should also arrange and deal with such things as selling officials, introducing salt, separating local territories, and engaging in feudal superstition.

In addition to the above, there is also a large amount of technical information, policies and systems, which also need to be written out and left one by one.

Even in Australia, North and South America in recent years, these places have not been discovered and occupied by the West.

If they don't make arrangements in advance and let the cause of the Great Song Dynasty Voyage be carried out, I am afraid that after returning to the modern plane, they will be a little embarrassed to go out to meet people.

All in all, this alone is a staggering amount of work, and I don't know how many brain cells it takes.

As for some specific battle plans for the Northern Expedition in the future, there are also these questions about how to distribute troops in the face of the threat of the Tanguts, and who will do the Iron Harrier.

So far, everyone has not discussed it specifically, and everything will have to be seen about the follow-up development.

That's right! Another point is that just now the war with the Jin people ended, and they were going to form a large army for the Northern Expedition.

The question of how to publicize and explain to Empress Maude and the outside world.

Of course, it's 'advisable to chase after the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord'.

Let Huang Fatzi, the factory of the West Factory, publicize it in the newspaper that the Jin people and the Xixia people have now united, and they plan to fight the Song Dynasty again after regrouping.

Therefore, while the Jin people have not yet recovered, it makes sense to go straight to Huanglong.

In short, all the interpretation rights of this Northern Expedition belong to the Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty (who was promoted again), the privy envoy, Hu Biao, Hu Yitong, the Duke of Qin, and a group of henchmen under his command......
