I am Da Song

Chapter 136

Although Yue Fei is a military commander, he is not a reckless man who only knows how to fight but doesn't understand the overall situation.On the contrary, the better the general, the more he understands the importance of financial supplies.

Yue Fei, as Zhuxia's top military general for 5000 years, quickly realized the intention of the imperial court's deployment and asked, "The imperial court's sword is pointing to the southeast?"

Zhao Huan nodded in relief, and said, "That's right, it's the southeast. The two Huaihe Rivers are related to water transportation in Tokyo, and the south of the Yangtze River is related to national taxes. Most of the world's wealth is located in the southeast. No matter the fiscal revenue or food logistics, it needs to come from the southeast. supply."

Four hundred miles around Tokyo have been smashed to pieces. In this case, it is completely unable to support Zhao Huan's ambition.Don't talk about regaining Lianghe, but rectifying Shaanxi.After the royal grain reserves in Zuoku were exhausted, how to ensure that no cannibalism occurred near the imperial capital was a big dilemma.

As for supplying the 20 troops of the two places and launching a large-scale war... it can only be left in the dream of Huang Liang.

Zhao Huan said: "Hebei and Shaanxi are already riddled with holes. The imperial court cannot tolerate Lianghuai and Jiangnan being smashed."

In order to make Yue Fei understand the importance of his body and help him determine the battle plan, Zhao Huan introduced in detail: "This is not only related to national taxes, but also related to the national strategy."

"Before Jingkang, the country's peak taxes were about 8000 million to 1000 million guan, but after Jingkang, Li Xianggong estimated that the state could collect less than [-] million guan in taxes."

"This means that if the southeast cannot be preserved, the country will need at least two to 30 years of self-cultivation before taxation, money, food, and population can return to pre-war levels."

"I can't accept spending 30 or [-] years recuperating and letting the Kingdom of Jin and Xixia grow stronger."

In 30, Yue Fei frowned slightly. Even though he was young, how many 30 years would he have in his life?
According to a popular story in the military, countless countries were destroyed in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the generals who did not destroy a country were not worthy of being called famous generals.

The Song Dynasty wanted to go as far as the Han and Tang Dynasties, and he wanted to become a famous general of the Song Dynasty. How could he waste 30 or [-] years in vain?
Then Zhao Huan said: "But on the other hand, if the southeast can quickly eliminate the war and cholera, the court will only need two or three years to restore the situation. At that time, the wealth can supply 20 troops to send troops to the north, and it will not be a problem to regain Yanyun, let alone What's more about Hebei?"

"Now Zong Ze, Zhang Suo and other veterans will build a fence for Qing in Hebei first, so as to buy time for Qing to pacify Huainan, so that the imperial court can control the land of Huaihe River and Huaihe River. By then, the north of the Yangtze River and the south of the Yellow River will be completely connected. Water transport , food, soldiers, and supplies can form an overwhelming advantage over the world."

"With this advantage, Qing's dispatch of troops to the south of the Yangtze River from Huainan will be like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves."

What kind of situation is it like when the autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves?
Zhao Huan encouraged Yue Fei with a smile: "I heard that Li Jing, a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty, defeated Xiao Xian in three months. You are not weaker than Li Jing, and you have a powerful army that is unparalleled in the world. months."

Bai Han Li Yue!There are countless famous generals in the 5000 years of Zhuxia, but these four are the top generals recognized by later generations.

Bai Qi, God of Killing, Han Xin, God of Soldiers, Li Jing, God of War, and Yue Fei, God of Martial Arts.

Yue Fei was originally a top-notch famous general, but now he has an unparalleled and powerful army to help him, and his opponent is the weakest Song army.

Zhao Huan couldn't think of the possibility that Yue Fei would encounter a slight ups and downs.

Yue Fei couldn't help laughing dumbly, the officials really had full confidence in him.In three months, all the rebels in the southeast must be defeated. Except for marching, all wars must be resolved with a destructive force.

However, Yue Fei didn't have a trace of timidity. Since the officials trusted him so much, he had to do his best to crush all rebellions for the officials.

As for whether it can be done?Yang Yao, the "Great Sage King" in history, said that he could use his own head to testify for Yue Sheng.

The court of the Southern Song Dynasty was unable to defeat the rebel army led by Yang Yao for seven years, and even the encirclement of the Song Ting's four-way army was crushed by it.Afterwards, the successive years of encirclement and suppression in the Southern Song Dynasty not only failed to defeat this rebel army, but instead made it grow to more than 20 people, and the opponent claimed to be the "Great Sage King", and a separate year was established, and he was canonized as a prince.

But Yue Fei was transferred back from the front line to take charge of countering the rebellion, and it took only eight days to crush the rebellion completely.It wasn't a defeat, it was a complete crushing of the rebels. Yang Yao's head was cut off and passed on to the capital.

According to this calculation, Yang Yao's army of 20 was stronger than that of the Southern Song Dynasty.It took Yue Fei eight days to pacify Yang Yao, so it should take less time for Yue Fei to pacify the southeast.

Zhao Huan happily patted his confidant on the shoulder, and said, "I have confidence in Qing. After I destroy the puppet dynasty in Nanjing, Qing will be entrusted with the task of leveling the southeast."

Being promoted to such an extent by the officials, Yue Fei could no longer object to the officials going to the front.After all, the entire southeast, the government has been handed over to him, and he is required to calm down within three months.For a small city of Nanjing, if you can't control it, then you have too much hope for the officials.

Ningling is connected to Nanjing. The army set off from Ningling in the afternoon and arrived at the city of Nanjing in the evening.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, tens of thousands of soldiers who brought order out of chaos were sweating profusely in front of the defenders, digging fortifications and building camps.

The camp site chosen by the former army for the main force was only five miles away from Nanjing City.With the advantage of cavalry, Wang Shi was obviously not afraid of the Nanjing defenders going out of the city to attack.

Moreover, in the direction of camping, the former army has dug three trenches and cuts, and poured water from the Bian River into them.

At noon, the imperial army suddenly changed its normal state. It stopped sending iron cavalry to patrol the city, and stopped sending people to shout and scold.

Even though this day was expected before the rebellion, countless people turned pale with fright when they really had to face the officials.

Today's official family is not just the king who rules the world, the supreme and holy emperor.That is also a talented and energetic iron-blooded king who led the soldiers and civilians of Tokyo City to completely defeat the Jurchen army who had been arrogant and domineering for more than ten years.

Even if there are more than [-] rebels in Nanjing, Zhao Gou and a group of scholar-bureaucrats still have chills on their necks, and they don't feel much security.

When the official mantles and guards of honor appeared at the foot of the city against the sunset, the huge Nanjing was completely sluggish, as humble as a speck of dust.

A dense crowd of soldiers stood at the top of the city, but they wished they could all shrink into the cracks in the bricks, and no one dared to look directly at the appearance of the officials.It was obviously just a calm figure, but everyone on the city wall felt that the official house was like a peerless sword, the dazzling sword light shot up into the sky, and it rushed into the bullfight.

Obviously, the official family was strolling in the courtyard, standing under the city and observing Nanjing indifferently, but everyone felt that those gazes were looking down on the city of Nanjing.

When the loyal soldiers saw this scene, they instinctively knelt down and saluted, and the city wall knelt down densely.
