Qiming 1158

Chapter 866 Zhao Tan envy Su Yonglin
From March [-]th to April [-]th, for seven days, the Song army under Shao Hongyuan suffered serious losses and suffered great losses.

In the end, less than 2000 people escaped alive. More than half of the attacking army either died or surrendered.

Without a doubt, he was defeated.

On the tenth day of April, when Shao Hongyuan learned the preliminary results of the battle, he was dumbfounded on the spot.

He never expected his tactics to fail.

I never imagined that the loss would be so great, and the defeat would be so miserable.

Of the [-] combat teams, less than one-fifth of them came back whole, and most of them had broken arms and legs.

After coming back, he kept crying and complaining that the bandit army in the mountains was too fierce and their equipment was very good.

Some sensible officers reported to Shao Hongyuan that the peasant army used the Song Army's arrows to set up an ambush to ambush the Song Army. In the end, the Song Army soldiers heard the sound of the arrows, and they did not dare to approach.

There are also peasant troops who approached the Song army wearing Song army uniforms, and then attacked and killed them when they were not paying attention, so that they were defeated before they could react.

So many small teams were wiped out by the peasant army because of this.

During the whole battle, they could not find the main force of the peasant army, and the peasant army always found out where they were.

After only seven days of fighting, Shao Hongyuan lost completely.

After learning of the defeat, he sat down on the chair, his face full of disbelief and panic.

He was defeated, what would Zhang Jun think of him?
What will the emperor think of him?
Does he still have a future?

At this moment, as if he knew in advance that Qi Fang would definitely lose the battle, Qi Fang came again.

Hearing that Shao Hongyuan was defeated again, Qi Fang was very happy. Seeing the miserable appearance of Shao Hongyuan's subordinates, he originally planned to make fun of him, but he was a little surprised by the tragic defeat.

He suddenly realized that the peasant army in the mountains seemed to be a little strong and abnormal.

Shao Hongyuan's team is a real elite. The old foundation is the army that Li Xianzhong fought against the Ming army and did not fall behind. Although he has been reorganized and replaced, it still maintains the original training level.

Now he has suffered such a defeat at the hands of a group of peasant rebels.

Is this still an ordinary peasant uprising?

In the end, before Qi Fang could ask anything, Shao Hongyuan, who saw him coming, burst out.

"Is it you? Is it you!!!"

Shao Hongyuan blushed and drew his sword towards him, bewildered by Qi Fang's question.

"what are you saying?!"

Qi Fang was very angry.

"It was you who sold the armor and crossbow to the bandit army in the mountains? Otherwise, how could a group of bandits wear more armor than my army? I asked you if you didn't want to give it, but secretly sold it all to the bandit army. Isn't it? I'm going to tell you! I'm going to let you die without a burial!!"

Shao Hongyuan, who lost his red eyes, was very irrational, and directly tore his face with Qi Fang.

Qi Fang was furious.

"Don't slander Zhongliang! I'll never do something like this to help the enemy! If you want to sue you, go and sue you! But I'll sue you too! I'll sue you for disobeying orders and acting without permission, disobeying my military orders and losing the battle! I Tell you, as the main general, I can kill you now!!"

"just kill me!"

Shao Hongyuan threw the knife in his hand on the ground and looked at Qi Fang angrily: "You can kill me anyway, see what happens after you kill me!"

Qi Fangqi was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas came out of his body. He couldn't say anything. In the end, he could only leave with hatred, and then immediately went to write a memorial to impeach Shao Hongyuan.

Said that Shao Hongyuan did not listen to orders, did not respect him as the chief general at all, acted recklessly, contradicted his superiors, sent troops to fight without authorization, and lost more than [-] soldiers, and suffered a big defeat.

Shao Hongyuan also immediately began to write a memorial for his impeachment against Qi Fang.

As for the content of his defeat...

After all, he didn't dare to write the actual content, so he could only conceal the actual loss rate, saying that he had lost less than a thousand soldiers and killed more than 2000 peasant troops, but he failed to achieve the expected progress and needed more from the court. food and military support.

Then most of the content is ruthlessly participating in the inaction of Qi Fang's department.

It was said that they did not plan to fight at all, they were just depleting the court’s money and food here, and there was even a possibility of collusion with the rebel bandit army, otherwise the bandit army would not have so much armor, and the posture was not much different from that of the regular army.

When the two were preparing to give each other eye drops and even send them to Huangquan Road, Zhao Yucheng had no time to hold a celebration banquet, so he summoned all the front-line officers and instructors who had fought to meet at the branch of the Daxiang Revival Association to conduct a routine war with them. Summarize.

This is an old habit of the Restoration Army. After each battle, a battle summary is carried out. The summed up experience is sent to each combat unit for collective study.

At the meeting, many front-line officers and instructors stood up and spoke, publishing their battle results and making them public.

In the end, everyone summed up some of the weaknesses and strengths of the Song army, as well as the weaknesses and strengths of the peasant army itself.

For example, Song Jun is weak in the will to fight, but strong in military literacy and desire to survive.

The peasant army is weak in military literacy, but strong in will to fight and courageous and fearless spirit.

"I think we need to strengthen the training of the army and gain more experience in actual combat, otherwise this situation will still occur. Obviously, the encirclement has been pulled up, but because of the lack of combat effectiveness, many Song army teams were killed. out."

Xu Tong stood up to speak, and said loudly: "Our weapons and equipment are no longer weaker than Song Jun, and everyone's food treatment is also good, so the training must be strengthened, and we can't take chances. Are we going to go out and have a fight with Song Jun? In the field, you can't always hide in the mountains."

Zhao Yucheng agreed with Xu Tong's words.

"I think Xu Tong's speech is very meaningful. This time Xu Tong has also made a lot of credit. The fact that the Song army used the arrows to communicate with each other and cooperate in the battle was discovered and reported by Xu Tong. study."

After that, Zhao Yucheng took the lead in applauding him, and the rest of the crowd also applauded.

Xu Tong was a little embarrassed, and scratched his face with a smirk.

After the applause subsided, Zhao Yucheng returned to a serious face.

"What is worthy of praise is to be praised, and what needs to be reflected cannot be denied. This is the reason why we can be strong, and the reason why the Restoration Army can defeat the Jin Army and establish the Ming Dynasty.

I think that the Song army's attack and blockade of Luo Xiaoshan will not stop, and they will continue to attack and block Luo Xiaoshan. We are about to face a more severe situation, so we must hurry up to prepare. "

Then, Zhao Yucheng began to assign new tasks.

One is the military training of the peasant army, so that they can enter the professional group from the amateur level as soon as possible.

The second is to start a spiritual offensive against the prisoners of the Song army, and strive to absorb them into the peasant army. Their military literacy is still worthy of praise.

The third is to find ways to increase the penetration of the surrounding areas of Luoxiao Mountain, send excellent instructors into these areas, dig their corners behind the enemy, and win the support of more farmers.

All in all, if the time does not wait for me, the opportunity will not come, if you don't take advantage of the Song Army's defeat and retreat to develop itself, the Song Army will make a comeback in the future, and everyone is waiting for death.

When Zhao Yucheng acted quickly, Qi Fang and Shao Hongyuan's impeachment table also quickly moved towards Lin'an. At the same time, the news that Ming Emperor Su Yonglin began to fight against corruption in the country also spread to Lin'an.

It is said that Emperor Su Yonglin of Ming Dynasty discovered that someone had made false accounts when he inspected Kaifeng, so he conducted an in-depth investigation and discovered that some officials were corrupt, so an anti-corruption storm was immediately launched, and many corrupt officials were taken down and ended miserably.

It is said that some officials were beheaded on the edge of the Yellow River. After the killing, the bodies were pushed into the Yellow River and rolled into the sea along the Yellow River. It can be said that there is no place to die.

When the news was sent to Lin'an, Zhao Tan looked at it and relaxed a little.

As long as Su Yonglin did not go south to prepare for a military attack on the Southern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Tan's plan to rebuild a [-]-strong army was difficult to implement, and he was short of money. At present, the completion progress is less than one-fifth. It is estimated that it will take several years to complete it.

In the past few years, it is best for the Ming Kingdom to have more civil strife, and the Ming Emperor Su Yonglin is best to continue tossing and tossing, making the Ming Kingdom exhausted and tossing to death, this is the best.

In this way, the Southern Song Dynasty can get a chance to breathe.

However, when Zhao Tan learned that Su Yonglin was strictly anti-corruption, he was a little envious.
