I am Da Song

Chapter 183
Both Wu Jie and Liu Kai were generals of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, and they were about the same age.

The court ministers of the Great Song Dynasty did not know these two people, but Zhao Huan was too familiar with them.

These are all the famous generals of the Song Dynasty who used the Golden Wushu to smash their records.

Among them, Wu Jie commanded the Battle of Monk Yuan.Almost all of Jin Wushu's [-] troops were defeated, and Jin Wushu was shot with arrows, so he was spared.The Song army seized tens of thousands of armor.Since then, Jin Wushu has formed a psychological shadow on Sichuan, and he dare not look south to Sichuan all his life.

But Liu Kai was even more ferocious. He commanded the great victory in Shunchang, and defeated the Jin army's elite cavalry "Iron Futu" and "Kai Zima" with javelins and big axes, causing the main cavalry of the Jin army to be completely lost in the first battle.

The horrific results of this battle shocked the Jin Dynasty and the public. It was described as: "The battle of Shunchang, the enemy was terrified, and all the treasures of Yan were taken to the north, intending to donate Yan to the south."

At the same time as the victory in Shunchang, the Jin army attacking Shaanxi, Jingxi, and Huaidong were also defeated by Song generals Wu Lin, Yue Fei, and Han Shizhong respectively.

At that time, the Kingdom of Jin had already packed all its treasures and wealth, and planned to leave all the land south of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and fled back to the north with its luggage.

If it weren't for Wan Yangou, the filial son of the great gold, who was desperately holding back, ordering one after another to recall the main force of the Song army.When the main force of the Jin army was destroyed, the Song army could restore the territory of its heyday as long as it followed the footsteps of the Jin people to take over the land one by one.

If Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others are willing to let Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others make the Northern Expedition, taking advantage of the enemy's main force being destroyed and their defenses empty, it will not be difficult to break into the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

Said that these two talents are enough to compare with Yue Fei, Zhao Huan is noncommittal.After all, the two of them were fighting defensive counterattacks, and Yue Fei was fighting field battles.Difficulty varies widely.

But let them fight the pink and tender Golden Wushu, which has just been commanded by the army, it must be to hang the Golden Wushu up and hammer it.

Thinking of the scene in Hebei battlefield where famous generals of the Song Dynasty gathered to besiege Jin Wushu together.Zhao Huan felt that he couldn't think about it carefully, it was simply too cruel.

"How many troops can Sichuan and Shaanxi send into Hebei?"

Zhang Shuye replied: "The number of troops reported in Sichuan and Shaanxi is close to 6. The actual number must have been delayed. It is estimated to exceed 7. It is enough to mobilize 3 people into Hebei."

The advantage of the conscription system is that there is no military salary to embezzle, so the authenticity of the number of troops can be trusted.

Generals from all over the country reported the number of troops mainly to obtain the support of the imperial court's armaments and ordnance, and the imperial court also counted the number of troops according to the distributed ordnance.However, localities have been recruiting troops, and it is inevitable that there will be a situation where the number of troops is larger than the equipment, and the weapons are not complete.

"Then according to the deployment of the Privy Council, let's send more troops to Hebei. Several prime ministers immediately transferred food from Jiangnan to Hebei. According to the current situation, there are [-] troops in Sichuan and Shaanxi, more than [-] troops in Qingzhou, and more than [-] Shenwu Youjun The army is nearly [-] troops in total. There must be insufficient food on the front line."

Li Gang frowned, and said: "Although the imperial court has pacified the southeast, after three months of war, I am afraid that the food that can be raised in the treasury will not be too much."

Zhao Huan clapped his hands together, expressing that he was helpless.If you can solve everything yourself, why do you need a group of prime ministers?
Ji Xiang Yang Shi stood up to rescue Li Gang and said: "You don't have to be too pessimistic and depressed. The southeast is in the shape of victory, and there are countless cities. The difficulty now is that the imperial court has no control over the situation of the local treasury. The details of the government treasury. As long as there are 30 warehouses with more than [-] shi in stock, [-] shi of grain can be raised. It will not consume much if it is transported to Beijing by water."

"30 shi of grain, combined with the grain already stored in Hebei, is enough to support an army of 10,000+ for two months."

Li Gang asked: "After those two months, what will the frontline soldiers eat?"

Yang Shi said: "The imperial court can still buy grain. Back then when the Taishang attacked Xixia, the price of grain in Beijing rose to [-] yuan per stone. As long as the imperial court is willing to invest heavily, it can always buy grain."

"But as far as I know, the imperial court has almost no financial resources." Li Gang asked worriedly.

There is only so much money, and the ministers will not change it out of thin air.Everything seemed to be at a dead end again.

But Zhao Huan didn't intend to go to the scholar-bureaucrats to borrow money like Chongzhen did.

After contemplating for a moment, Zhao Huan said calmly: "It's not that the imperial court has no finances, but the finances are divided into two. One is the internal possession, and now there are more than nine million yuan left. According to the current expenditure, it will last until August at most. will run out."

"But there is still 300 million guan in land sales. This money is not immovable. The construction of Shaotian New District is not achieved overnight. Even if all 300 million guan are invested, it will not be able to exert its full effect. The construction of the new district is mainly about building roads. The imperial court can take out 400 million guan to build roads first. The rest of the money will be transferred to the military budget to purchase armaments and food."

All of you here are court ministers with rich experience.With Zhao Huan's touch, they understood the operation process.

The Great Song Dynasty is slightly different from other dynasties. The Great Song Dynasty is capable of collecting taxes.All fiscal holes can be filled by taxation.

Although the idle funds for the construction of the new district were temporarily embezzled, they can be repaid immediately after the year-end tax collection.

And no matter how bad it is, the imperial court can still sell another batch of land to support the finances until the end of the year.

As a last resort, Zhao Huan didn't want to print money too much, causing the people's distrust of the imperial banknotes.

After the discussion was over, the state machinery of the Song Dynasty was activated immediately, and a steady stream of ordnance, food, and soldiers were sent to the front line.

However, the imperial court made military deployments, but the frontline soldiers were not willing to listen to them completely.

In particular, the Jingsai Army in Hedong was extremely active on the battlefield.

As soon as the main force of the Jin people arrived in Taiyuan, Han Shizhong gave the Jin army a disarm. He mobilized three thousand Jingsai cavalry to attack for hundreds of miles, from the Weisheng army all the way to the vicinity of Taiyuan, and raided a Jin army.

He personally charged into battle, beheaded generals and captured the flag, beheaded thousands of households of the Golden Army, and the whole army fought for an hour, completely chopped up the Golden Army, beheaded more than two hundred ranks, and captured more than three hundred horses.

Then before the cavalry of the Golden Army Brigade arrived, he slapped his butt and withdrew back to the Weisheng Army.

Before the imperial court convened the court meeting, the Jingsai Army had fought more than [-] times with the Jinren.All the cavalry encountered in the wild and started hand-to-hand combat.

The cavalry on both sides are backed by important towns in the rear, the Jin army is backed by Taiyuan, and the Jingsai army is backed by the Weisheng army (the name of the state can be understood as Weisheng state, Weisheng mansion).

With sufficient supplies, both cavalry can travel hundreds of miles in a day.It is too difficult to ambush such fast-moving cavalry.You can only rely on the same cavalry to deal with it.With one fight after another, the flesh and blood are worn away, and the morale of the opponent is broken.

Han Shizhong's proactive mentality of seeking war is clearly visible, which caused a thick haze to hang over the brows of the upper echelons of the Jin Army as soon as the battle started.
