Chapter Forty-Six: A New Plains? Escort Expansion!
Compared with the simple thoughts of other generals, Ding Hongguang thought relatively deeply, frowned and thought for a moment and raised his own questions.
"Lord Wang, according to this information, as long as you turn over this Yunling Mountain Range, there will be a large area of plains behind it, and such a habitable place is still so close, it stands to reason that the imperial court should have known about it a long time ago, why did it take our turn to find out?"
As soon as Ding Hongguang's words came out, the expressions on the faces of the people who were still excited just now were stagnant, and there were not many fools who could become generals, and this question also surfaced in their minds.
Yes, so close, why didn't the imperial court find out?
Just when everyone was pondering directly, Zhao Jun directly waved his hand to reveal the answer.
"Okay, don't guess, although we have been here for five years, the scope of activities is still not comparable to that of the locals, so I don't know the situation in the Yunling Mountains very well.
Before coming, this king asked the old man in Yunzhou City, and only then did he learn that the Yunling Mountains are full of miasma, the mountains are high and dense, and there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants.
That's why the great plain behind the Yunling Mountains has been hidden for so long. ”
After listening to Zhao Jun's explanation, everyone suddenly realized that it was the natural factors of the Yunling Mountain Range that caused the plain to not be discovered.
But then everyone's brows were also deeply wrinkled, if you want to capture the great plain behind the mountain range, you will undoubtedly need an army, but if the Yunling Mountain Range is full of miasma, and there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the forest, then this is undoubtedly an unsolvable obstacle for the army.
If these problems are not solved, the army will not be able to cross the Yunling Mountain Range, and the army will not be able to pass, and the great plain behind the mountain will be even more empty, which is pure nonsense.
Seeing that this group of guys fell into self-embarrassment again in the blink of an eye, Zhao Jundang even clapped his hands to wake them up from their self-embarrassment, and then said to everyone: "Okay, the problem you are embarrassed by this king is clear, but you don't have to worry about this problem at all, since this king is here today, will some miasma, snakes, insects, rats and ants be a problem for this king?" ”
The generals' eyes lit up instantly, and their eyes stared at Zhao Wangye.
Zhao Jun shook his head with a smile and was speechless to these generals who had milk, but he didn't sell it, and said slowly: "The reason why the people under the command of this king can discover the situation behind the Yunling Mountain Range is that this king asked them to explore around to find out the specific situation around them, and the other reason is the materials and equipment on my subordinates.
Among the supplies that the king has arranged for them is something specially prepared to cope with this situation.
Avoid lansan, mothball, sulfur powder and realgar powder. ”
"Among them, the avoidance of Lan San is a decoction, as long as you take a penny with hot water every morning, the army can go straight into the miasma without miasma.
Combined with mothball, sulfur powder and realgar powder, which are herbs that repel snakes, insects, rats and ants, the insects can retreat from the army without hindering the army at all. ”
As soon as Zhao Jun's words fell, the generals in the camp shouted excitedly.
"Lord Wang! Now that we all have a way to restrain miasma and get rid of snakes, insects, rats and ants, what is there to hesitate about?
Beat! Hit hard! Open up territory and expand territory for my Great Song Dynasty! ”
"Yes, Lord Wang, our department can be transferred at any time, let's fight!"
"Let's fight!"
"Let's fight!"
The generals were so proactive in this matter, which Zhao Jun did not expect at all.
But he didn't think about how uncomfortable it was for these generals to have an army that was born to fight for several years without fighting and eating military rations for several years!
If you want to say that they are all the kind of generals who like to mess up, it doesn't matter, but everyone who can become a general in the guard camp is a bit of a killer, and it makes them uncomfortable not to let them fight than to let them study.
The generals shouted that they wanted to fight, and Ding Hongguang and Guan Ning both nodded in agreement.
Seeing that everyone's opinion was so unanimous, Zhao Jun stood up and announced, "Okay! Since everyone is one opinion, then we will fight!
Everyone knows that our Yunzhou County is inherently short in terms of grain production compared to other states and counties, which also limits the population of our Yunzhou County over the years, even if the slave catching team has captured so many slaves, we have only accepted part of it in terms of safety and food.
Now, since there is such a place that can supplement the shortcomings of my Yunzhou County, as long as I lay a place, then my Yunzhou County can usher in real development.
Then we'll fight!
Turn that Great Plains into the territory of my Great Song Dynasty! Let the people of the Great Song Dynasty in Yunzhou County also have their own fields! ”
"Good !!" ×N
The applause was thunderous, and the generals applauded in unison, and their faces were full of excitement.
Expanding the territory is the highest glory for a soldier!
Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, in addition to the attached Yunzhou County, in other borders that were forced by the four Yi to retreat year after year, not to mention the expansion of territory, the northwest and southern borders have lost a lot of territory, if they succeed this time, that is the first batch of generals in the Great Song Dynasty in the past hundred years!
What a glory!
What a feat!
Looking at the elated generals below, Zhao Jun had to say something to calm everyone down.
pressed his hand down, and when everyone quieted down, Zhao Juncai continued: "We must fight to fight, but we still need a period of time to prepare before fighting.
It's October, and winter is about to begin, so it's not a good time to go to war.
In this way, we will set the time for the start of the war at the turn of spring and summer next year, and the same will be true opposite the end of spring plowing in Yunzhou County at this time, and we can sit back and wait for the grain harvest as long as we fight it.
In addition, in the past few months, the county guard yamen can also prepare the logistics of the army, and the materials such as avoidance and realgar powder needed to cross the Yunling Mountain Range also need time to prepare.
There are only a few months left, and this king hopes that you can train your combat effectiveness as soon as possible, don't really go to the battlefield and all of them will become soft-footed shrimp for this king, and this king can't afford to lose that person
In addition, from now on, new recruits will be recruited from Yunzhou County, the escort army will be expanded to the establishment of the box army, and the personnel of the former First Army and the Second Army will be assigned to ten armies to serve as the backbone of officers at all levels, so as to form combat effectiveness of all armies as soon as possible in the way of bringing the old with the new!
Before the start of the war, the king hoped that the number of soldiers in the escort army would be full, and the combat effectiveness would not drop too much.
In addition, Ding Hongguang, the former commander of the First Army, and Guan Ning, the commander of the Second Army, were immediately promoted to the positions of commander of the Xiang Army and deputy commander of the Xiang Army, and the rest of the officers at all levels were automatically promoted to one level. ”
"Got it!! ×N
is promoted, who can not understand!
The generals in the tent all thought excitedly and responded loudly.
