Chapter 753: I'm Here Again

The eastward march of the army officially began, and the big ship carrying tens of thousands of warriors sailed into Jianghua Bay and went straight to the opposite bank one kilometer away. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Zhongyi stood on the bow of the boat with his hands in his hands, facing the cold wind, and chanted in high spirits: "Wang Shidong sets the day, and when the achievement is first completed!" ”

"Good, wonderful, wonderful!" Zhou Daozhong, who accompanied him, reacted the fastest, and as soon as Li Zhongyi's words fell, he exclaimed almost at the same time.

Zhou Daozhong's sycophant did not get a response from Li Zhongyi, Li Zhongyi just glanced at Zhou Daozhong, and then walked towards the handsome cabin.

Zhou Daozhong was bored, but he was not discouraged at all, like a tail, and followed Li Zhongyi into the handsome cabin.

Li Zhongyi sat on the chair, glanced at Zhou Daozhong, who was like a little tail, and gave a cold look angrily and funny.

Zhou Daozhong immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "The last general will go to the helm cabin and keep an eye on it, so as not to make mistakes." Then he slipped away.

Li Zhongyi secretly shook his head, when Zhou Daozhong followed him to conquer Goryeo for the first time, he still had some backbone, but now, how did he become a hypochondriasis?

Zhu Niang saw Li Zhongyi's depression, couldn't help covering her red lips, and grinned: "Master, this Brother Zhou is a wonderful person, and the concubine is still the first time to meet him. ”

Li Zhongyi shook his head and sighed: "That Zhou Zhongping was actually a scoundrel with a two-skinned face, alas, it can be regarded as an alternative existence. ”

Zhu Niang served tea, and seeing that Li Zhongyi's mood was acceptable, she sat aside and poured tea for him.

Today's Li Jiajun is already different from the past, with the existence of the General Staff Department, not to mention the chief general of the first army, even Li Zhongyi has also been freed from tedious daily military affairs.

It is no exaggeration to say that once the battle plan is issued and implemented, the current Li Jiajun is like an unusually accurate killing machine, and it will inevitably follow the inherent logic.

Under this trend, in addition to the impromptu decision of major emergencies, Li Zhongyi can basically be a shopkeeper.

The main general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies, and in today's Li family's army, it is already a past tense that has been abandoned!

In this era of cold weapons without fast guns and artillery, except for the logistical sabotage warfare that does not strike, the forms of war can actually be summarized and summarized.

For example, according to the ambush warfare summarized by the Senate, there are roughly more than a dozen types such as water attack, fire attack, horse army cluster attack, and valley ambush.

According to the different types of ambushes, the Senate Department recorded detailed response methods in the special teaching materials of the lecture hall, and every officer who was waiting for promotion must firmly remember it.

By analogy, in addition to ambush warfare, there are many practical case teaching materials such as urban street battles, field wave battles, infantry against cavalry, and cavalry assault on infantry troops.

In the history of China, the training of military generals, in addition to relying on frequent actual combat and accumulating combat experience in blood and water, must rely on the family strength of the Jiangmen family in most cases, and the Fuzhou Zhejia and Linzhou Yang families are typical examples.

In addition, the Jiangmen family needs to rely on their ability to be promoted to make a fortune, which is the same as the craftsmen who rely on their craftsmanship to eat, and the combat experience or technology they have mastered will never be passed on, so as not to be robbed of their precious jobs by others.

There is an old saying that if you teach your apprentice, you starve your master to death, which is a true portrayal of the eventual loss of many unique crafts.

The loss of the craftsman's skills is at most a disaster for his family. Once many of the Jiangmen family's unique and practical combat experience is lost, when foreign enemies invade, it will inevitably affect the entire country and nation.

So far, one of the things that Li Zhongyi is most proud of is that he has pioneered an epoch-making lecture hall that can continuously transport excellent officers at all levels.

According to Li Zhongyi's strict requirements, all officers who enter the lecture hall to study, even if they are ordinary deputy captains, must be trained according to the standards of battalion commanders.

This so-called cross-level training system for military backbones is also!

It is also interesting to say that this method of training military cadres by skipping the level is actually the training system of the German Army before World War II.

In World War I, Germany was defeated and humiliated, and was allowed to retain only the almost symbolic Wehrmacht of 100,000.

On the one hand, due to the political and military pressure of the Entente, and on the other hand, due to the post-war economic collapse, it was impossible for Germany's fiscal revenues to feed too many troops.

In the face of tremendous pressure, the German Army, which had temporarily hidden its ambitions, could only cut back on food and clothing, concentrate resources on major affairs, and let the company commander do the work of the platoon commander, and the general acted as the colonel.

As soon as the FΓΌhrer came to power and began to expand the armament war, the elite backbone of these armies immediately played a tremendous role in promoting it.

Li Zhongyi also played a roughly similar wishful thinking, and because of the situation, the financial revenue could not feed too many troops.

At present, according to the official statistics of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are only 6 million households, with a total population of about 30 million.

Of course, due to the fact of the "per capita tax", many people throughout the country have the bad habit of concealing the actual situation.

The two taxation laws implemented in the middle and late Tang Dynasty incorporated the original "rent and yong adjustment" into the property tax, which opened a precedent for the reform of the per capita tax in the later period of China's feudal society.

The implementation of the two taxation laws is an important measure to increase the actual tax payment area and ensure the government's fiscal revenue when the gap between the rich and the poor in society has become larger. Although its main purpose was to save the government from the dilemma of poor revenue, it objectively reduced the burden of the poor peasants who had little land, and made the state's personal control over the peasants begin to become relaxed.

However, with the warlords of the late Tang Dynasty, military spending increased, and by the time of the fifth dynasty, each secessionist regime had levied "body money" in its jurisdiction.

After the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the old system was still levied in various places. The men are 20 percent and 60 are old, and within this age range, they must be borne by both owners and customers. The tax system also varies from place to place, such as 695 wen per diner in Zhaozhou and 594 wen per din in Cizhou, which has become an additional burden for the people.

The magistrates wanted to make more money, but the people were overwhelmed, so they naturally chose to conceal the population.

Li Zhongyi didn't know how many percent of the population was concealed by the people, but he indirectly knew from the merchants who came and went and the informant newspapers in various places that the concealment rate of the private population in various places was about fifty percent.

Based on this calculation, the total population of the entire Great Zhou is only more than 40 million.

With only 40 million people, if you feed 300,000 elite soldiers who consume money and food, the burden on the people is obviously too heavy.

In the final analysis, the territory of the Khitan State is too large, and it is a horse nation with strong migration mobility, and it is definitely not a dream for the whole country to be truly mobilized and bring a million.

In the future, if Li Zhongyi does not have more than 200,000 elite soldiers and horses on hand, it will be difficult to encircle the main Khitan force and destroy the country in one fell swoop.

The reason is actually obvious, even if Li Zhongyi leads 200,000 troops to the Northern Expedition, at least 100,000 soldiers and horses will be needed to stay in the country to deter the petty people.

Based on long-term strategic considerations, Li Zhongyi set a plan for the complete conquest of Goryeo very early, and the purpose was actually very simple, to use the so-called 3,000 miles of splendid rivers and mountains of Goryeo to help him feed 100,000 elite soldiers.

The mighty fleet, in accordance with the advance plan of the Senate Division, successfully arrived at Silla Village, which is north of Ganghwa Bay.

Liu Heyang's unit, which acted as the vanguard, took the lead in rushing to the beach and landing on the shore in accordance with the operational plan drawn up by the Senate Department, and quickly launched a battle formation to prevent contingencies.

With Liu Heyang's troops defending in formation, the entire Li family's army began to disembark in an orderly manner.

According to the size of the ship, each boat was roughly loaded with one to three soldiers, and after the ship docked, these formed troops were closely lined up on the flanks of Liu Heyang's troops according to the prescribed position.

Li Zhongyi held a monocular, stood in front of the porthole, and silently watched the figures of his subordinates landing on the shore.

The orderly landing of such a large number of troops is inseparable from the extensive and meticulous prior work of the various sub-divisions.

In accordance with the arrangements and drills in advance, in addition to the necessary personnel on duty in the General Staff Department, including the personnel of the Judge Advocate General's Department and the various sub-staff departments, they were all arranged on each large ship, and they played a vital liaison duty.

At the beginning, when Li Zhongyi secretly attacked Yuguan by boat, although the General Staff Department drew up a detailed landing plan, because of the lack of experience in amphibious operations, the plan did not change quickly, resulting in all kinds of unexpected situations one after another, and even because of the competition between the ships, there was a tragic accident in which the ship capsized and people died.

The Li Jiajun amphibious landing operation, counting this landing on the Goryeo Peninsula, there were a total of six times, and the first five times all had more or less major accidents in which people capsized and died.

However, due to the lessons learned by the Senate Division, there has not been an accident in which the ship capsized so far.

Li Zhongyi nodded with satisfaction, learning the laws of war from war is the last word of winning and not being defeated.

Due to the large number of troops in the crusade, the entire landing work lasted until late at night from the landing of Liu Heyang's vanguard army to the unloading of all the war horses on the shore, and then it was temporarily over.

In the dead of night, the soldiers who had worked hard all day had fallen asleep.

Yang Wushuang, who is currently the supreme general of the Senate Department, stayed in the big tent of the Chinese army and reported to Li Zhongyi in detail on the various circumstances during the landing process.

Yang Wushuang's mood was quite low, and he said sadly: "It's all because I didn't think about it, I didn't expect that when the big ship docked, there was a sudden wind and waves, causing more than a dozen soldiers on the gangplank to fall into the water, and the drowned veterans were all veterans who were more than two years old." ”

Li Zhongyi was silent for a long time, and sighed heavily: "Once the general succeeds and the bones are dry, the general will inevitably die in battle, and it is difficult to take charge of the army." Neutralization, be sure to be kind to their families. ”

Yang Wushuang nodded, his mood was still very low, if the two armies were facing each other, sacrifice was inevitable, so it would be fine.

It's just that more than a dozen veterans who were originally alive fell into the water and drowned in vain when they were about to succeed in landing, and this bloody lesson is really painful.
