048, National Policy (I)
For the young affairs who had already formulated the overall strategic plan, it was definitely an accident and a great opportunity to enter the city before the war started. However, Shaowu was still far away at the moment, and it was impossible for Wei Mang, who was in charge of directing military operations on the front line, to consult the monarch before making a decision, and immediately sent troops to Baiguo City.
Baiguo City is located on the border, and there are six border army formations stationed on weekdays, and the city itself also has four garrison formations, which is also a fairly strong military force. But in this era of peace, these military formations in Baiguo City only played a warning role, but they were not ready for real war. However, Shaowu has already made sufficient strategic arrangements in the area of Shanchuan City.
Ten of the border armies of the country of Bamuro were quietly mobilized, six of which were originally stationed at the border passes, and the remaining four were quietly arrived from other places. There are also six garrison formations in Zencheon Castle, which are nominally castle garrison formations, but in fact they have been replaced by real field elites. Excluding logistical personnel, there are already a total of 16 combat units on the front line.
The junction between Baiguo City and Shanchuan City is mostly plain, and there is not much strategic depth to defend, and the general of Zhennan suddenly led a large army to break through the pass defense, which came too suddenly! Zheng Muruguo's border army had just assembled and had not had time to set up the formation, the military camp was breached, and there was almost no decent resistance before they surrendered.
When Wei Mang led the army to march, he erected a long pole on the cart and tied the city lord Bai Boyi to the top of the pole. The people along the way saw and heard what was happening. Wei Mang did not storm the city, but sent four army formations to block the four gates, and then the army passed around the city, advanced to the line of Yuping Mountain, and relied on the terrain to establish a defensive line.
The two garrisons that were taken to the border mountains by Bai Boyi and had not had time to return to the city were also annihilated outside the city. This battle was hardly fought, and the entire territory of Baiguo City had been occupied, leaving only one lonely city.
Advancing around the city and leaving hidden dangers in the rear is a taboo for soldiers. However, there were only two garrisons left in Baiguo City, which were completely demoralized. There is no way to go out of the city to fight, and it is enough to threaten the army of Weimang.
The people of Baiguo City had just heard the news from Shanchuan City, and they were still shocked. The first monarch of the Ba Muru Kingdom and the new monarch are young affairs, but they have never done anything to be sorry for Baiguo City. And Zheng Muguo not only sent people to assassinate Shaowu, but also slaughtered the entire caravan, which was very unpopular.
There are often conflicts between countries, but in recent decades there has been a superficial peace, even in the chaos of the past, it is necessary to pay attention to the fame and righteousness first, even if it is only superficial righteousness. If the superior loses the authority and legitimacy of his dominance, it will be difficult for him to gain support and support.
People are speculating whether Shaowu will send an envoy to Zheng Muguo to ask for the guilt. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, the lord of the city disappeared! When Bai Boyi reappeared, he had been tied to the top of the pole, and the army of the Bamuro Kingdom had arrived.
Baiguo City had no soldiers to defend the city, and lost the leading general, Wei Mang only besieged the city for three days and launched a slight offensive, and Baiguo City opened the city without a fight and surrendered. The logistical baggage of Ba Muroguo immediately followed into the city, and Hanxiong immediately sent people to pacify the people throughout Baiguo City.
Hanxiong declared in the name of the monarch's young affairs: Ba Muguo marched this time only to denounce Zheng Gu's unrighteous actions and fight back against the war provoked by Bai Boyi. There is no offense with the people of Baiguo City. Except for the military personnel who were captured in the battle, if the rest of the people wanted to leave Baiguo City to escape the war, the army of Bamuro Kingdom would be allowed to leave. As for the people who remained, not only did they not have to worry about being plundered. There will also be a one-year exemption from servitude.
This is a decree that Shao Wu has prepared long ago and issued after the capture of Baiguo City.
Although the Weimang army did not plunder the villages and harass the people, they obtained the food and ordnance hoarded in the warehouses and arsenals of Baiguo City. Baiguo City is a place rich in products, and it is also the place where the border is guarded, and it is separated from the hinterland of Zheng Muguo by a mountain range, and the transportation is not very convenient. As a result, the city was stockpiled with a large amount of strategic and military supplies.
Just the grain in the warehouse is enough for the needs of the mighty army for a year, and there is no need to call it from elsewhere. Ordnance in the Hyogo. It can also equip nearly ten more armies, and more importantly, a large stockpile of arrows, which were originally used to replenish consumption. In addition, Wei Mang has collected the armor and equipment of six border army formations and four garrison army formations in the city outline, and can also equip the Ba Chambers army formation of the same size.
Therefore, although it is only a city that has been captured, it has a great gain. In Shaowu's overall strategy, why did he have to take Baiguo City first? Not only because of its important strategic location, which could establish a solid defense line in the south and avoid the worries of fighting in the north, but also because of the abundant material reserves in this city, he had already figured out the situation through various means.
To tell the truth, the people of Baiguo City have no ill feelings towards Ba Muru, and there are many older elders, but they resent why Hou Di gave up this city in the first place? After occupying Baiguo City, General Weimang did not lead the army to continue to advance, but relied on the front line of Yuping Mountain to hold on.
The success of this battle lies in the fact that it was well prepared, launched suddenly, and caught Zheng Muroguo by surprise, and the division was famous. But when Zheng Muroguo reacted, it would never be so easy to continue to cross the border, and blindly expanding the front line was not in line with Shaowu's strategic plan.
This is an undeclared war, and the country of Bamuro is definitely a sneak attack, but this sneak attack leaves people speechless. Before Shaowu had time to send an envoy to question Zheng Muruguo, Bai Boyi, the city lord of Baiguo City, attacked Shanchuan City and took the lead in provoking a war. If Bai Boyi hadn't sneaked into Shanchuan City and was captured, Weimang's battle might not have been fought like this.
Weimang's army suddenly broke through the border defense of Baiguo City, three days after Bai Shuxin's public trial, and the day after Bai Boyi was captured. When Baiguo City had been completely captured, the first messenger sent by Bai Boyi to the national capital to urgently report the news of Bai Shuxin's disappearance was still halfway there!
After Baiguo City was taken, the envoy sent by Shaowu set off to enter Zheng Muguo from another border pass and go to his capital to question Zheng Gu.
In the next period of time, the people in Bayuan heard more and more shocking news. Someone had just exposed the truth about the assassination and massacre of Zheng Muroko, and then the news came that the lord of Baiguo City had entered Shanchuan City without authorization to provoke a war, and was counterattacked by Bamuro to occupy the city.
It is said that the Bamuro country has sent an envoy to question the king of the Zheng family, and has continuously mobilized heavy troops in the area of Zencheon Castle, and if the two countries talk about it collapses in the future, the Bamuro country may start an unprecedented national war.
It was in this atmosphere that the tiger baby quietly left Shanchuan City, accompanied by Pang, Tengjin and Fujihua, and they rode all the way north to Jinsha City at the eastern end of the border with Xiangmuro.
Shaowu is not in the national capital now, so he is secretly gathering heavy troops in the cities around Jinsha City. Now the world will know that the Bamuro Kingdom raised troops to press the southern border, but Huwa knew in her heart that there were so many elite military formations led by Wei Mang, and most of the subsequent additions were newly recruited and expanded military formations, as well as some garrison formations in nearby cities. And the real army of the Bamuro country has quietly assembled on the border of the Samuro country.
......
In the absence of a large-scale war, it is impossible for most of the country's elite laborers to be separated from production for a long time and trained only in the barracks, otherwise the social order and economic structure of a country will collapse sooner or later.
However, under certain circumstances, the monarch will also issue a general mobilization order to temporarily recruit a large number of troops. The young man has already issued a general mobilization for war in all the cities of the country, and the city lord and the soldier master are in charge, opening the arsenals of each city, arming the newly recruited people, and constantly marching to the front.
Even if a national general mobilization order is issued for an urgent expansion of the army, it will take some time for the newly expanded army formation to form combat effectiveness and be able to be put into the front line, and this depends on whether a country's mobilization speed, logistical organization capacity, and government decrees can be supported and responded to, and whether the strategic reserves are sufficient and whether the generals' command and drill are efficient.
The nationwide mobilization of the Bamuro Kingdom was rapid, thanks to the years of preparation of the first monarch and the second emperor, as well as the prestige of the new monarch in the country. The barns and arsenals of the various cities were well stocked with grain and armor, and most of the conscripts had served in military service and received military training.
Men in the country are required to serve for one year when they reach adulthood, and the period of service can be divided into two periods, and most of them serve as soldiers in the garrison formations of various castles and receive the most basic military training. Among them, the elite will be promoted to stay in the army, starting from the small team leader and becoming the backbone of the army, while the discharged will return to their hometowns to work and will be re-drafted under special circumstances. -- This was a national policy formulated by the Goji, and it was later imitated by the monarch of the Prime Minister's Country.
Lingbao's elder brother Mura Bao, Huwa's senior brother Dajun, and the general of the Beidao clan were all from this kind of background at the earliest, and they stayed in the army because of their excellent appearance in service, and each had a different destiny trajectory. The general mobilization order of the monarch was transmitted to the castles along with the latest news of Zencheon Castle, and the Shaomu also aroused and exploited the common hatred of the people of the whole country.
The rapid expansion of the army to strengthen the garrison or to the front line can be seen in the accumulation of national strength and the efficiency of the administrative order, which is the potential to launch a national war. Even if other countries issued the same general mobilization order, I am afraid that it would not be as fast and effective as the Bamuro country. If the speed of organizing combat effectiveness is slow, it will also be defeated strategically.
The people of Pakistan and the original countries have different attitudes towards the national war. For the other four countries, ordinary people may see it as a clan dispute, like a father's five sons fighting over family property. However, in the memory of the people of Bamuro, the war of a hundred years ago is extremely heavy, full of pain and hatred. (To be continued......)
