Chapter 210: The elite soldiers of the imperial court asked for a monthly pass
Woo woo, it actually makes people burst chrysanthemums, Luo Luo is going to fight, add more votes, and today I want to be able to pass 20 votes on 5 more!
"Xianggong, this is an official letter from Wang Guan (Wang Jian has the official title of Observer...... The idea of training recruits was proposed......"
Liao Yingzhong was holding a stack of official documents and was following Jia Yidao. In Jia Yidao's government office, there are still a bunch of people, listening to the assignment of tasks by the traitorous ministers.
"Is the boat to send the Wuliang Hetai Department to cross the river ready? Don't think that it's all over when the ship is ready, it's not the first time that the Tartar has not believed in his words, so ask the people below to cheer me up! If one is not careful, they take away the ferry boat, which is a huge disaster! 10,000 Tartar soldiers, there must be 30,000 soldiers staring, let's fight a little wider, we would rather more than less! β
"All the cities along the Jiangbei must be guarded, the city gates are closed, and the people are all dispatched, even if there is a little more reward! Why don't you let the Tartars retreat along the Han waterway...... You pig brain! Aren't you afraid that the Tartars will not leave the place upstream near Xiangyang? If the Tartars are allowed to occupy a piece of land on the edge of the Han River, is this still not discussed? β
"The Thunderbolt Navy needs repair costs, and needs to be replenished with sulfur and flame salt? What's the mess at this time? After the battle is over, what do they need to do with sulfur and flames? Do you want to make artillery battles? Give Chen Dexing 200,000 minutes to repair the ship, and wait until he returns to Yangzhou! β
It was easy to wait for the traitor to complete the arrangement of the Wuliang Hetai Department (from Dali all the way to the Yangtze River) to cross the river to meet Kublai Khan, and Liao Yingzhong handed over the official document. During this time, Jia Nidao of Jiangling was busy negotiating peace with Hao Jingmo sent by Kublai Khan. The conversation is quite smooth. Kublai Khan did not make any excessive demands, first, he did not want the Song State to cede the land; Second, don't call Emperor Lizong a minister. It's just a few years old. It is also necessary to open a mutual market to do business, which is easy to discuss. The only things that are a bit of a hassle are two things. First, Kublai Khan insisted on getting the next three years' coins - 1.5 million copper coins and 1.5 million silk horses, and then he could retreat north; Second, it is necessary to arrange for more than 10,000 elites from Dali to burn, kill, loot and plunder all the way to the Yangtze River, and cross the river to Dashengguan and join Kublai Khan.
Now that the matter of Wulianghe's retreat from Taipei has been determined, just wait for Lin'an to raise copper and silk, and then be able to send Kublai Khan's 100,000 troops to retreat north. This catastrophe that almost sent the old Zhao family to the country is safe!
Jia Rudao was busy, and his spirit was a little weak. Sitting on the chair panting, Liao Yingzhong was holding the official letter from Wang Jian, who was now in charge of all the armies of Xingyuan and knew Hezhou. I really didn't want to see it in my heart - he also knew that it was not an urgent military matter, and Liao Yingzhong said just now that it was a matter of military training. However, he still looked at Liao Yingzhong's face, stretched out his hand and took it lazily. opened it and glanced at it casually, and immediately snorted: "Add to the chaos!" β
Liao Yingzhong had long known the content of this official letter, and after reading it, he felt that it made sense before sending it to Jia Yidao.
Wang Jian put forward two suggestions in the official letter, one is to reform the Lin'an martial arts school - that place does not train officers at all, it seems to be a Taixue branch, and martial arts students generally claim to be Taixue students. Wang Jian hoped to use the model of the Perak Navy Army's military academy to run the Lin'an Martial Arts School, and turn it into a school that truly trains grassroots officers.
The second is to organize and train the new army, and it will be organized and trained according to the method of the Thunderbolt Naval Army. It took ten years. If all the departments directly under the Imperial Soldiers and Horses Division are trained into a new army, the Great Song Dynasty will be able to have 100,000 available elite soldiers. Not to mention the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, at least you can keep a home, right?
Seeing what Liao Yingzhong wanted to say, Jia Rudao didn't give him this opportunity. Raising his hand, he said, "Qunyu, don't worry about military affairs...... Now it's a big deal. It's peace with Mongolia! β
He sighed: "I'm already the right prime minister now, and I can't just think about the military." Also consider the big picture. Now the court has no money in its hands, and everything in the treasury can run away. 1,500,000 copper for the North Captives. 1.5 million horses of silk had to be taken from the official stake warehouse. Next, there will be rewards from soldiers from all walks of life in Lianghuai, Jinghu, and Sichuan...... It doesn't work at all without tens of millions. Where is the money to train recruits and run a martial arts school? Are you saying that's adding to the mess! β
Seeing that Liao Yingzhong's face was flushed, Jia Yidao's tone softened a little, and a little smile appeared on his face: "Qunyu, I know that you are for the country...... But now I really can't move. This battle is really 3,000 kills and 10,000 self-losses! Four roads in Sichuan, three roads in Jinghu, two roads in Huai, and one in West Guangnan all suffered heavy losses. Especially Sichuan...... The land of abundance is already a scorched earth! Although the Mongols were willing to retreat from Chengdu Road and Lizhou Road, they would never leave the city and the people behind. The court took it over and looked good, but I didn't know how much money I would lose. Besides, now that the battle is over, it's time to suppress the warriors. The ancestor of the Great Song Dynasty was to use literature to control martial arts. What have all the warriors become now? If you still have to train and run a martial arts school, won't the power of these martial artists be even greater? β
Liao Yingzhong only nodded, he knew that what Jia Yidao said was all true, but he always felt that Wang Jian's method was very good. The current peace talks between the north and the south will not be managed for many years. Once the new Great Khan of Mongolia came to power, most of them still had to wave his army south. This time, there is also Chen Dexing, a prodigy in using soldiers, but Chen Dexing is about to hand over the military power to be a horse. What to do then? Who will resist the Mongols? Can you rely on just one Lu Jiajun? Look at the appearance of Lu Wende, a rich idler, you know that you can't fight!
Wang Jian's idea is indeed a solution. Even from the perspective of the heavenly officials, you have to train an elite who really obeys the orders of the Privy Council...... However, the cost of this training and martial arts school is indeed a problem!
Seeing that Jia Rudao was not interested, Liao Yingzhong gritted her teeth and said, "Xianggong, money can always be squeezed out...... In any case, there must be an elite town in the hands of the center, or this is an ancestral system with literature and martial arts, and it is empty talk! Now there are no soldiers under the direct jurisdiction of the Imperial Soldiers and Horses Division who can go to the battlefield. In this way, how can the imperial court collect the military power of the warriors? How can civil officials control military ministers? β
Jia Rudao had already gotten up, and he staggered and wanted to go back to the back house, for the sake of Wuliang Hetai's retreat, he had been busy for several days, and it was time to rest. When he was about to go out, he heard Liao Yingzhong's last words of persuasion, turned around and smiled: "Don't worry, these things are in my plan!" The elite soldiers of the imperial court are already there, isn't it the Thunderbolt Army? Chen Dexing wants to be a concubine, and he can always hold the military power? When the time comes, the Thunderbolt Navy Army will be broken up and beaten into the Sanya Army...... and then send a group of good soldiers from all over the country to fight together, so that the imperial court will not have a usable elite. In addition, I will talk to Li Tingzhi on the way back and ask him if he can train an elite army in Huaidong. β
β¦β¦
Singing resounded in the fields, and the bright sun shone down from the December sky. A group of infantry neatly walked from the paved and smashing road, and it was obvious that these infantry had only just returned from camping and had been there for a few days. Their red coats had been washed white, and the shoulders where they carried spears and crossbows, as well as the elbows of their legs, which rubbed against the ground, were patched.
The officers and soldiers had already tanned their complexions, and they all looked a little thin, but they were full of energy, as if their bodies contained infinite energy. This qiΔ shows that the Perak Navy is much more elite than it was a few months ago. The battlefield they can competen for will soon not be on the water and on the beach, but will include the vast continent.
Behind this infantry corps, which numbered about a general, was a squad of artillerymen, drawn by four dwarf Dali horses with a light torsion stone machine or a three-bow bed crossbow. The generals of the artillery men followed the artillery carts in columns, equally refreshed.
After the artillery soldiers, there was a group of instructors and students of the Thunderbolt Army's military academy, half on foot, half on horseback. Leading the team were Zhang Hongfan and Xiao Da, Wang Yan and the rest of the more than 20 sons and nephews of the Wang family were among them, each of them had their horses under their crotches, their heads protruding, and they rode forward. In the field training that had just ended, Wang Yan commanded all the military cadets on horseback to act as an "imaginary enemy", imitating the tactics of the Mongols to launch a simulated attack on the infantry of the Perak soldiers.
This kind of infantry cavalry field confrontation should not have been the focus of naval training, but now it has become the main training subject of the Thunderbolt naval army, but the training of water warfare is somewhat sparse. Could it be that the earth-shattering slogans of the Northern Expedition in the Thunderbolt Navy are true? But now that the Mengsong Negotiations and progress are smooth, the conditions have been negotiated, and the official family of Lin'an is waiting for the nod of the official family - the official family cannot ask for this matter, and will definitely not agree to it!
What does Chen Dexing want to do if he practices walking all day long?
Wang Yan frowned, and when he was thinking about things in his heart, Xiao Da had already ridden his horse and leaned over. During this time, this Instructor Xiao and Wang Yan had a good relationship. The two of them are about the same age, their status is close, and they are both soldiers, so they naturally have a common language, so they have nothing to talk about, and now they almost kowtow to the handle.
"Brother Anguo, do you think this peace negotiation can keep peace for a few years?"
"Five years, my family thinks it can be guaranteed for ten years, but I think it will be five years at most, and every time the Tartar dies, it will only be three or five years. After the toss is over, the new Great Khan still has to take our Great Song Dynasty to establish his authority! However, this is also our chance to reorganize the mountains and rivers! β
The ongoing peace talks have become a hot topic in the Perak Troop by this timeβof course, under the control of the Righteous Instructors and the Renaissance Society. The result of each discussion was much the same, and the peace was not sustainable, and it was nothing more than a truce that lasted for several years. After the truce, a decisive battle that will determine the rise and fall of the Han family is coming!
And Chen Jiajun will definitely be the mainstay of the Han side in this decisive battle! (To be continued......)
