The Great Song Dynasty of the Golden Age 377_The Golden Age of the Great Song Dynasty Full Text Free Reading_Chapter 377 The Emperor Comes from the Army ()

Although the emperor is young, his words still carry a lot of weight, and the ministers in the cabinet naturally have to attach great importance to it, and Xiao Ming naturally needs to give support to him, but he still explained the importance of this matter to Xiaozong, that is, the Great Song Dynasty is really not suitable for fighting two wars at the same time!

"Then fight the Western Turks first, and then seek Li Yue's toes!" Xiaozong Zhao Hao said.

The emperor's attitude was so resolute, which also surprised Xiao Ming, but he immediately realized that this was the new emperor's desire to make achievements, saying that it was good for the honor of the Great Song Dynasty, and saying that it was unpleasant was a manifestation of the young emperor's great joy, but you can't dampen his enthusiasm!

Xiao Ming only smiled bitterly, he was not worried that this battle would be lost, but that the entire Great Song Dynasty, because the emperor was so belligerent, would make the country embark on the road of showing off its military and belligerent from now on, and at that time the whole country would become a war machine, which was contrary to his idea of vigorously developing science and technology and economy.

Xiao Ming asked: "I don't know if Your Majesty wants to appoint anyone to fight against the Western Turks?" ”

Xiaozong said: "Since the widow ascended the throne, he has traveled a lot of foreign territories and opened a lot of eyes, but he has never been to the Gobi Desert in the frontier. ”

As soon as these words came out, the cabinet ministers were shocked, "Hum! "It's a mess of the camp, the emperor wants to drive the expedition in person, the previous sacrifice to respect the heavens and the earth and the preparation to rely on the chariot and horse plus the mobilization of the army is not a trivial matter, and the emperor personally drove to conquer a Turkic tribe in the west of the barbarian seems to be a big deal!

Xiao Ming knew that Xiaozong Zhao Hao was just for fun, this kind of idea is actually easy to understand, a man always wants to wander outside when he is young, this is to meet the needs of that adventurous spirit, which is very helpful for a man's growth, so when he listened to Xiaozong's idea of wanting to be a pro-conquest, he just didn't blame him.

However, the cabinet ministers were greatly obstructed, and began to persuade the emperor to personally conquest, and the words were also very intense, and a few old ministers were in tears, which made Xiaozong Zhao Hao at a loss, and he didn't know what to do, so he had to look at Xiao Ming, but found that Xiao Ming was looking at him and smiling, so he had the bottom in his heart!

"That's it! All right! The widow just said that, and even if it was a suggestion, it would not interfere with your Privy Council and Cabinet to make military deployments, so you should not advise! After speaking, Xiaozong Zhao Hao threw up his sleeves and left angrily!

Xiaozong left, but the meeting was disrupted, Xiao Ming stood up and spoke: "The emperor wants to conquer the Western Turks is not a whim, the Western Turks covet the land of the four provinces of the Western Regions, this is intolerable, my Chinese Great Song Dynasty, for the invading enemy naturally can not use the policy of tenderness, it is certain to fight, this is related to the Western Liao regime to the Song Dynasty!" ”

After hearing this, the ministers nodded one after another, since the cabinet has reached a unified opinion, Nan Wu will definitely coordinate the resources of the whole country to prepare for this war, but Xiao Ming said: "Let's get here today, everyone go back and rest, the next meeting will discuss the issue of military transportation and allocation in various places!" ”

Xiao Ming walked out of the hall of the Huiyou Pavilion, the Huiyou Pavilion of the cabinet office has several side doors, Xiaozong Zhao Hao really waited there, saw Xiao Ming coming, and immediately greeted him, Xiao Ming smiled and said: "Your Majesty has been waiting here to wait for Weichen?" ”

Zhao Hao suddenly became hippie and smiled in front of Xiao Ming: "Taishi is really clever!" Just guess that the widow is waiting for you, hehe......hee! ”

Xiao Ming stiffened his face and said, "It's useless for you to wait for me, I can't tell Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Hao said: "No, if the Taishi didn't agree with me to go to the Western Regions, he would have objected at that time, and there was no need to let those old ministers advise me!" I guessed right? ”

Xiao Ming said: "If Your Majesty goes to the Western Regions just for sightseeing and enjoying the infinite scenery of the west, of course I won't stop you, but you really want to fight, then this matter is another matter!" ”

"But with the current strength of my Great Song Dynasty, are you still afraid of any small Turkic countries in the Western Regions?" Zhao Hao was naturally not very reconciled, and still argued.

"Well said?" Xiao Ming nodded and said: "You also know that my Great Song Dynasty is currently strong in martial arts, and I am not afraid of any small country, but as the emperor, you personally lead the army to fight, this fact can not be changed, but you have no experience in leading the army to fight, with the current military equipment of the army, the combat methods in the past are outdated, this Privy Council Wang Shu has the most profound experience, do you think you can command an army?" ”

Zhao Hao opened his mouth and stammered, not knowing how to answer.

Xiao Ming didn't give him a chance to think and refute, and continued to ask: "My Great Song Dynasty's artillery is the sharpest, but do you know how to coordinate the infantry artillery?" The terrain of the Western Regions is complex, and the army needs to study the map in detail when marching and fighting, will you look at the map? ”

"I ......! I'm just going with you, and you're appointing another competent general soon? Zhao Hao still said unconvinced.

"Identity! Identity! Xiao Ming stared at Zhao Hao and asked: "The front-line generals will definitely attach importance to your ideas when they see that your identity is so respected, and your words and deeds will become the key instructions that affect the battle situation, once you make a mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable, do you understand these?" ”

"But...... But! Zhao Hao still wanted to say something.

Xiao Ming interrupted him and said, "It's nothing, the soldiers are treacherous!" , the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored. Unless you can give me a valid reason to get you to the front, don't think about it! ”

Zhao Hao was like a deflated ball, suddenly became listless, Xiao Ming turned around and left slowly, but he didn't speed up, he knew that Zhao Hao would not give up, there must be tricks, so he waited.

Sure enough, after Xiao Ming made a few steps, Zhao Hao caught up again, grabbed his sleeve, and pleaded: "Master Tai go slowly!" Listen to me! I know you're right, but there are exceptions to everything, so can't you make a special exception for the outnumbered? ”

"Oh? What special case," Xiao Ming asked suspiciously.

"This ...... Is this, the widow can be an ordinary recruit, this is always okay, right? ”

"Hahaha......!" Xiao Ming laughed and said: "I really convinced you, okay, I'll make a special exception, you can go to the front line together as an ordinary officer of the Great Song Dynasty Royal Tiger Guard, but you must not interfere with any battle deployment and express opinions of the front-line generals, and only go as a military observer, how about it?" ”

"Military observers!" Zhao Hao silently read it a few times and said: "This name is good, the widow will be this military observer, and go to the front line to observe how my Great Song Dynasty defeated the Western Turkic barbarian!" Zhao Hao was naturally a little satisfied with this.

In fact, he is also a young and playful personality, and he is already very satisfied with being able to unify him to the Western Regions, as for watching others fight on the side, the fun component is naturally higher than personally participating in the battle! Xiao Ming's arrangement was also for his safety, so Zhao Hao naturally agreed very happily.

In order to be more secure, Xiao Ming sent another battalion of Tiger Guards as the escort of Xiaozong Zhao Hao, and at the same time, Guo Shouxin beside him was also sent to Zhao Hao, thinking that in this way, his safety could basically be guaranteed!

The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is really messing around now, not staying in the palace of the capital all day, but running around, which is really unimaginable in the previous dynasties, but now it is like this, Zhao Hao was led to the camp of the Royal Tiger Guard, and was appointed as a battalion commander of artillery logistics! Received a red military uniform.

After the young Zhao Hao put on the red military uniform, he looked in the mirror and was very satisfied, the woolen military uniform was full of rows of metal buttons from the neckline to the hem, tied with a two-inch thick cowhide plate belt, a ribbon on the shoulder, a saber on the left side, and a short gun on the right side, looking handsome and majestic!

I heard that this military uniform was designed by Xiao Ming, and the entire Great Song Dynasty Royal Tiger Guards and Guards were basically identical, except that the Tiger Guards would add a piece of armor painted with a tiger's head on their chests during the war, as a memorial to the predecessor of this unit, while the commander and the Guards did not have this equipment.

As a commander, there is a matching horse, the horse assigned to Zhao Hao is a black horse with pure black coat, Zhao Hao thinks he is very handsome after riding up, and he thinks that the emperor is not as handsome and chic as himself, this horse is not only pure in color, but also has a very noble bloodline, and it is the best mount in the army several times with the legendary Xiao Ming mount Chi Yucong!

Since he joined the army, then he has to live in the barracks, Zhao Hao, as a small officer, naturally does not have to practice every day, but he will still be noisy by the slogans and songs of the troops every morning, and all his uses are naturally specially arranged by Xiao Ming, this time is nothing more than to let him get familiar with the atmosphere in the barracks first, and when the order arrives, the Tiger Guard force of more than 10,000 people will be mobilized.

At the same time, Yang Qizhong and Xiao Zhonggong, who were far away in the Western Regions, sent information at the same time that Yelu Dashi had fully accepted Xiao Ming's request and proposition, and at the same time, the situation in Western Liao had deteriorated further, and Yang Qizhong had brought 20,000 famous Golden Legions in the Western Regions, but the number of firearms and artillery was insufficient, so he requested support.

And the king of Aswan of the Western Turks, under the pretext of the suppression of Turkic tribes in the Western Liao, caused the loss of the Turks' personnel and property, and brazenly sent 150,000 troops to the Western Liao, the current Western Liao army barely blocked the attack of Aswan, Yelu Dashi is in urgent need of support, in the case of insufficient supplies and ammunition, Yang Qizhong is very difficult, so he sent a letter to ask for instructions.

Xiao Ming hurriedly ordered the arms and materials of Jingzhao Mansion to be transferred to the Western Regions quickly, and at the same time, the 10,000 Tiger Guards stationed in the suburbs of Beijing immediately set off by train with a large number of artillery, and at the same time he sent a letter to Yang Qizhong, ordering him to help Yelu Dashi at any cost and to defend the territory of Western Liao.

At the same time, Xiao Ming sent a letter to Xiao Zhonggong, asking him to stabilize Yelu Dashi and help him stabilize the situation in the country, reinforcements and soldiers and horses will arrive later, if Yelu Dashi has the intention to retire, let Xiao Zhonggong replace Yelu Dashi to temporarily control the entire country, and promise Yelu Dashi will let him return to his homeland in Liao to retire!

The war machine of the Great Song Dynasty had been fully activated at this time, and the arsenal built by Xiao Ming in Henan Province west of Kaifeng Mansion in Zhongjing in advance provided all the ammunition for the war, which was also a division of labor arrangement for Xiao Ming's ordnance enterprises across the country, the arsenal located in Jiangnan mainly produced guns and cannons, and the scattered ordnance enterprises in the north were used to produce ammunition.

The train going north "woo----! The chirp sped up, the furnace in the boiler was red, the steam was running at full speed, Xiaozong Zhao Hao was in the north of the Great Song Dynasty Royal Tiger Guard, he sat on the train and his heart had flown to the infinite scenery of the Gobi Desert, half of the carriages of this train were used to load small and medium-caliber artillery, which was the maximum support for the battle.

And Xiao Ming officially appointed Yang Qizhong as the front-line commander of the war in the name of the Privy Council of the Great Song Dynasty, and commanded the war against the Western Turks on all fronts, but Xiao Ming didn't expect that Yang Qizhong's first defeat was also ...... this time!
