Southern Song Dynasty military god

Chapter 554
"Under the rule of the Central Republic of China, Han Shizhong, Minister of National Defense, led [-] troops to guard Hubei."

Liu Wei beat Gao Jin to the official residence of the Minister of the Interior and returned to his palace, and immediately issued the first order to Han Shizhong who was leaving for Hubei.

Logically speaking, this order is somewhat out of order. I only thought that Han Shizhong was just the Minister of National Defense, not the leader of the army. However, in the military system of the Central Republic of China, there are only a handful of people who have the experience of leading tens of thousands of soldiers. Number, no, it should be said that there are almost none.

Even Wu Lin, who once guarded Dasan Pass, never commanded an army of tens of thousands alone. After Wu Jie died of illness, if there were no veterans such as Yang Zheng to help Wu Lin, he would not be able to manage it at all.Even Wu Lin doesn't meet this requirement, let alone other people. Hu Li and others have tens of thousands of soldiers, that's the limit of what they can do.

There is another person who possesses this ability, but this person is still on the way at the moment, and that person is Gao Chong who fought in Panxi.

Gao Chong, who was unwilling to fight against his own people, had no objection to Liu Wei mobilizing him to go back to resist the Jin soldiers. He quickly completed the handover work with Chai Qingyuan who came to change defenses, and then led the more than [-] mature soldiers and horses, Embark on the road back to the new capital.

In Liu Wei's plan, after Gao Chong returns, he will expand Gao Chong's team from 1 to 2. I believe that since there are more than 1 experienced veterans, the combat effectiveness of this team will not be high. How much does it go down.It's not that the Tubo side is not important now, but Liu Wei believes that the Tubo people who have been killed by Gao Chong will not dare to fight against the Central Republic, and the next thing Liu Wei will deal with is Xixia .

The relationship between Lin Yingying, the secret door, and Xixia, Wang Chongyang did not have time to tell Liu Wei in detail at the beginning, but no matter what the relationship between Lin Yingying and Wang Chongyang is now, and what is the relationship between Lin Yingying and the secret door? It seems that it is not important anymore.

Xixia, which was once strong in the west for a while, has not much remaining strength under the suppression of all aspects. When Wang Chongyang rose up, the Xixia Kingdom, through Lin Yingying's hand, gave Wang Chongyang a lot of lords, but those The helpers are not free either.

In fact, Xixia at that time wanted to encroach on the land of the Central Plains through Wang Chongyang, and pull their teeth from the tiger's mouth of the Kingdom of Jin and the Southern Song Dynasty.This is really up to people to plan things, and God to make things happen.After Wang Chongyang, the Xixia Kingdom has basically lost its ambition to compete for power, and only hopes to be able to hold on to its current territory.

I'm afraid the rulers of the Xixia Kingdom would never have imagined that they would become the first stepping stone on the road to the rise of the Central Republic of China under Liu Wei's rule!

When Gao Chong's team came back, Liu Wei supplemented it according to the opportunity, and then gave Gao Chong an attack order.

What surprised Gao Chong was that the target of his attack was not the army of the Kingdom of Jin.

"Xi Xia? Your Excellency Prime Minister, didn't you say, let me come back to deal with Jin Wushu?" The hatred for the Jin people made Gao Chong's heart full of expectations.The hatred between him and Jin Wushu is irreconcilable, if Gao Chong is asked to choose between Jin Guo and Xixia, then he will definitely choose the former without hesitation!
"Second brother, now you are the great general of the Central Republic of China, and you are the next good minister! In fact, a good minister is just older than you. In the Xixia Kingdom, a thin camel is bigger than a horse, and a centipede is dead. Zhuang, since we decided to take him down, we must be cautious, as the so-called lion."

"Okay, okay, I know, a lion fights a rabbit with all its strength, since you have said so, I will take this job, but only musketeers are not enough, I need some more." Gao Chong interrupted Liu He talked about it, but in the end, Liu Wei was not to be outdone, and interrupted him in a blink of an eye, rushing to say:
"I know that the artillery team of 3000 people has been prepared for you, and you can receive it at any time!"

"The number of people is not important, how many guns are there?"

Although Gao Chong is also a general in the traditional sense, his ability to accept new things is the strongest among all the generals under Liu Wei's command. Even Xiao Zaixing, a young man, is not as good as Gao Chong in this respect. of.

The so-called doing one line and loving one line may refer to people like Gao Chong. After confirming that the future battlefield must be controlled by firearms, Gao Chong studied the art of hot weapon warfare given to him by Liu Wei very seriously, not only studying the theory , and practiced on the Tubo tribes, constantly summarizing and innovating, it can be said that, apart from some limitations of the times, in terms of hot weapon tactics, Gao Chong has hardly lost to Liu Wei, and he can be said to be the second person in the Central Republic of China.

"Thirty doors!"

There are only [-] artillery pieces out of [-] artillerymen, and [-] soldiers serve one artillery piece. Such a ratio is surprising in later generations.In later generations, in a truly modern artillery regiment, the ratio of artillery to artillery reaches ten to one, which is relatively normal.

But right now it is impossible.

If a cannon wants to operate normally and launch it, it needs a lot of materials, and these materials cannot be transported by trucks or the like, they can only be carried by horses, and the pressure on logistics supplies is extremely heavy. The artillery these days does not have the ability to self-propelled, so the ratio of one hundred to one cannon is already the result of Liu Wei's extreme simplification.

Gao Chong also knew that some things cannot be forced. Thirty cannons may not be a big deal in later generations, but in this era, as long as they are used properly, there is nothing that can stop their progress.At the moment, Gao Chong didn't say any more, and received the order from Liu Wei, and set off on another day after receiving the supplementary soldiers and artillery team.

After Gao Chong was sent away, Hu Li was sent by Liu Wei again, and the arrangement given to him was that the leader of the army would join Xiao Zaixing to take the southern part of Shu into his pocket again.

Before the imperial court officially used troops against the Central Republic of China, many places in southern Shu had surrendered to the Central Republic of China either explicitly or covertly. With the arrival of the Yue Family Army, some towns that had originally submitted to the Republic of China appeared again.

However, these repetitions are not important to Liu Wei. As long as the army of the Central Republic of China arrives, he believes that there will be no team in southern Sichuan that can compete.

The pacification of southern Shu is only the first step. What Liu Wei wants is to cooperate with Hu Li and Yang Zaixing to leave Sichuan from southern Shu, cross Gongzhou, and take Jiangnan!
Once Gongzhou is taken by the Central Republic of China, it means that the entire Southern Song Dynasty plain will be under the gaze of the Central Republic of China army. At that time, it will not be Zhao Gou who finds someone to summon Liu Wei, but Zhao Gouxiang Liu Wei asked for peace!
Of course, summing is impossible.In Liu Wei's view, although the feudal dynasty has its soil to exist, since he has established such an advanced social system as the Central Republic of China, there is no need for the social system of the feudal dynasty to continue to exist. Miss Yi, if you can't accept this kind of change, Liu Wei doesn't mind sending them back to the West!
The change of the social system will inevitably have victims. If you try to stop the wheel of history from rolling forward, you must be prepared to be crushed!

Zhao Gou, who is in Lin'an, doesn't know that his country is in danger, let alone where the real threat comes from. He is still staring at the Yangtze River battlefield, entangled in every victory the Yue family army has won!
Invincible, no!
If he loses, the Jin Wushu army will drive straight in, and Zhao Gou's words will become less and less weighty!
A big victory is not enough, especially a big victory that caused heavy casualties to the army of the Kingdom of Jin, in Zhao Gou's view, it is even more impossible, just because it will deepen the hatred between the two sides, and the plan that Zhao Gou and Qin Yi have negotiated will be seriously affected. Impact.

In the eyes of Zhao Gou and Qin Yu, who were far away from the frontline battlefield, the victory of the eyeliner was only temporary!In China's thousands of years of history, the chances of the southern Chinese army defeating the northern army are really pitifully low. If special circumstances are not considered, it is basically impossible.

Therefore, both Zhao Gou and Qin Yu believed that instead of wasting energy and materials to entangle with Jin Guo, it is better to find an opportunity to negotiate peace with Jin Guo. In the words of later generations, this is called shelving disputes and jointly developing.

Of course, Zhao Gou couldn't just give in without a slap in the face, otherwise what was waiting would be an even more crazy attack from the Kingdom of Jin instead of a peaceful covenant.

So Zhao Gou still needs Yue Fei to fight, but this speed needs a good grasp!

On this point of view, Yue Fei does not agree!Not only did Yue Fei disapprove, many front-line generals disapproved, fundamentally, it was because they were generals, they were the ones who led the troops to fight, not the rulers who stayed away from the battlefield and stood high in the temple. After so many years of fighting, The hatred between them and Jin Bing is higher than the mountain and deeper than the sea, and it has long been irreconcilable, either you die or I die!
Therefore, the soldiers on the front line not only hope to continue fighting, but also hope to continue to win, just like Yue Fei said - vowing to go straight to Huanglong!
It should be said that, at least in the frontline soldiers such as the Yue Family Army, the bloodiness of the Han people is still reflected. However, this bloodliness has been oppressed by those in power, such as Zhao Gou and Qin's gangsters.Politicians and generals have completely different worldviews and philosophies of life.

With the approach of Jin Bing's vanguard, the confrontation between the two armies has already begun. Even under relatively difficult combat conditions, Yue's army still won one victory after another.Even if temporarily because of the scale, this kind of victory is not a major one, but at least it is a good trend. It reversed the victory of the Jin soldiers and greatly improved the morale of the troops on the defense line of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In fact, the confrontation between the Jin and Song Dynasties had an impact far beyond the Jin and Song Dynasties, especially the neighboring countries and forces, which were most affected. Leaving aside the Central Republic of China, Liao, Xixia and other forces All the rulers are silently watching such a battle, waiting for the result of the battle.

To them, the Song and Jin countries were like two giants at war, and whichever one fell meant that the other would rise.Therefore, the outcome of the war will inevitably change the political orientation of other countries.
