I am Da Song

Chapter 110 The Reward That Drives Hebei Dong Crazy

The defeat of the Jurchen West Route Army was highly consistent with the characteristics of a feudal army. After the elite main force was exhausted, the entire army began to collapse.

There were more than [-] men under Nianhan, Prime Minister of the State, and more than [-] soldiers were killed inside and outside Tokyo during the siege of the city for more than [-] days. Especially in the final battle, the absolute main force suffered heavy losses in a single day.

The morale, organizational structure, and ruling structure of the entire West Route Army were all devastated, and Nianhan didn't even dare to stay in the city camp and continue to hold on.

Nianhan's outstanding political talent can be seen very clearly.Sticking to the camp, the army of other tribes is likely to turn against the water.

And as long as the Jurchens' main force withdraws quickly and completes the reconciliation with Wanyan Loushi, the Jurchens will still have a scale of 2 people, and they can still subdue the troops of other tribes in the West Route Army.

The Song Army did not have elite cavalry, and the West Route Army could regroup after retreating in embarrassment and bring 4 to [-] people home.

In the Battle of Tokyo, the West Route Army lost 3 to [-] people, and the casualties were about one-third to half. The West Route Army could recover after a year or two of recuperation.

Under the Meng'an Mouke system, one Mouke conquered three hundred households, and three out of three during the war, only experienced one loss so that the successor would not be weak, and still had the strength to replenish the hard army once or twice, and restore the entire army to full strength. member.

It is by no means a false statement that the history commented that the Prime Minister of the country has "the knowledge of the world and the spirit of perseverance".

In the situation where the army was defeated like a mountain, Nianhan, the Prime Minister of the country, decisively made the wisest choice and the most appropriate deployment for the Jurchens.

Chaotic troops scrambled into the camp like a tide, and fled desperately to seize their horses.

There was chaos everywhere, and the Jin Kingdom's other tribes didn't even know what happened, but the Jurchen's rout broke up the camp, and there were left banners everywhere, armored swords and guns discarded everywhere.

The blood spilled all over the place, as well as the wounded and dead bodies further highlighted the panic and horror in the camp.

If the Jurchen's rout can remain rational, the hard army can rely on the Meng'an Mouk system to gradually restore its organizational system and withdraw in an orderly manner.After all, the army of other tribes has not had time to figure out the situation, and it will take a fermentation process to rebel. During this time, they can stop the Song army from chasing troops.

However, the Jurchen's morale had already fallen. Among the Jurchen who rushed back to the camp, thousands of them did not go directly to ride horses, but returned to the camp immediately to pack the gold and silver treasures they looted in the Central Plains.

History is always strikingly similar. Thousands of years later, the Da Mao and Er Mao wars lasted for more than a month. When the Da Mao soldiers retreated, they also dropped weapons and equipment worth hundreds of millions of dollars everywhere, and immediately mailed gold and silver jewelry to their hometowns.

The Jurchen soldiers have fought so hard for so many days, for these gold, silver and jewels, this is their life.Before leaving, of course they have to pack and take away.

This is understandable, but too many Jurchen soldiers died on the battlefield, and the supplies they looted became ownerless.The soldiers of the same Muk fought over these unclaimed things.

The arrogant Jurchen masters fought together, and the soldiers of other ethnic groups did not dare to come forward to persuade them, so they could only watch and applaud.

It's not that they are numb, but that all the upper ranks of the Jin army fled, and the middle ranks could not deploy troops without orders. The Jin army is currently in chaos without command.

This was a deliberate deployment by Prime Minister Nianhan. He did not designate a top general for the foreign soldiers to command and deploy them in a unified manner.

In this chaotic situation, the separation of powers in the army is obviously more secure than the unified command.The former will only cause heavy losses to the Jin army and cannot stop the Song army.

The latter is very likely to cause a certain general to hold great power, and even use it as a means of advancing, leading the entire army to surrender to the Song army, or in turn threatening the Jurchens.

After all, the Song Army did not have cavalry, but there were soldiers from other tribes of the Jin Army.

It is human nature that no one in power can escape from all over the world, it is better to give to friends than to slaves.

The prime minister would rather let the Jin army die in the hands of the Song army in large numbers than hand over the military power to a general of another clan. He just made up his mind to pay part of the loss, and then more safely gather rout troops in the rear.

It was also thanks to the deployment of the Prime Minister that a large number of Song troops were able to capture one Jin army camp after another.

The stretch of Jin army camps outside Tokyo was completely corrupted. The fire, chaos and wars tore the place apart, and the army was scattered everywhere.

As a result, some camps were still standing firm, while the camps on all sides of him had collapsed, and a large number of Jin troops were trapped in the siege of the Song army.

The Song Army had no choice but to surround and not attack, and went around to continue attacking other chaotic camps. The Song Army really didn't have a strong army to conquer the strong camp.

The total number of Shenwu Youjun was only 8000, and Yue Fei's elite troops had a casualty rate of [-]% in one day's bloody battle, and the entire army had withdrawn to the inner city to rest.

The remaining 8000 people are not fully equipped, and the training time is still short. More importantly, they have also played in turns before, exhausted, and at least half of them will be left to defend the city, because the Eastern Route Army in the north of the city has not yet completely withdrawn. Finish.

The 1-strong Shenwu Youjun attacked the West Route Army with more than [-] people, and the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers were also terrified.It is true that the Song Army has experienced too many victories first and then defeats in history.Being counterattacked during the pursuit, resulting in countless defeats.

Only Yue Fei, who had been fighting bloody for a day and night, took advantage of the victory and fought hard, and personally led the inner city soldiers out of the city to storm the panicked Jin army camp.

Facts have proved that the generals of the Song Army were able to achieve amazing results without any constraints from the court.

The Song army only fought for half a day in Nancheng, which was not so intense. The Jin army on the West Road, which was in chaos and had no unified command, was defeated, and the chaotic soldiers fled in all directions. Become the trophy of the Song army.

Some stubbornly resisting camps were surrounded by heavy soldiers, and tens of thousands of Tokyo soldiers and civilians were recruited and appeared near the battlefield.Their task was not to attack the Jin army, but to dig ditches on the spot and trap the resisting Jin army in the camp.

The weather has begun to warm up in February, the land is no longer so stiff, and the soldiers and civilians in Tokyo have tools at hand, and the excavation work is enthusiastic, and the progress is extremely fast.

These resisters were destined to be trapped in the camp and become prisoners of the Song army. Besides these people, there were also a large number of Jurchen wounded soldiers and women who were looted into the camp, all of which were taken over by the Song army.

Kaifeng Mansion, Yushitai and the Privy Council all happily sent a large number of candidates into the Jinjun camp to count and seize them.

At this time, Zhao Huan stood in the capital hall with a serious face, and said to Zuo Xiangmei: "Send an imperial envoy eight hundred miles to rush, and immediately send an order to the soldiers and civilians in Hebei, and everyone will show their loyalty and righteousness, and serve their lives bravely." , At all costs, to hinder the return of the Jin army. Regardless of the generals, if you get a Jinren head, you will immediately reward 50 taels of gold and 800 taels of silver!"

Mei Zhili was so startled that his whole body trembled, and he said in a panic, "Eight... 800 taels of silver? Officials, how can the court have so much silver? And this reward is too generous."

How did not being rich cause the military and civilians in Hebei to go crazy?
