I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 300 This Is Ready

What Zhao Xi said was a hypothesis, but this kind of hypothesis is most likely to become a fact.

Although the current Zhengshitang is preparing for war, if something happens that makes Guochao Beier face, this war may really end up being over.

Just a few of them may not be able to strengthen their hearts to fight by then.

Now, with the civil strife in Northern Liao and the failure of the Xixia alliance in Northern Liao, it is very likely that Xixia will withdraw its minions at this time... wait for the opportunity to stretch out to scratch people.

And at this time, if Li Liangjue could see the situation clearly, directly proclaim himself a minister, or even accept the imperial conferment, even if it didn't change anything in fact, the imperial court would accept Xixia's sincerity overwhelmingly...

Zhao Xi's words made the whole Chui Gong Palace fall into deep thought, even his father seemed to be very touched.

Not to mention the ministers, even Zhao Zhen, once Xixia becomes a minister, he will also choose to stop the campaign that wastes people, money, soldiers, and generals... The main reason is that it is too worrying, there is no peace, and there is no victory.

The war hurts too much.

"Your Highness, if this is the case, can Xi Xia be provoked to start a war first?"

"Mr. Zeng, if we can't start a war, we don't have to worry about it. Just continue to advance step by step. If necessary, I will find another way to promote a war."

With the current situation of all forces, Zhao Xi is not sure that Xixia will really choose war.

According to the Imperial City Secretary's report, last year, Li Liangjue once had an affair with Bei Liao because of Zongsiluo, and Li Liangjue once sent troops to Zousiluo.

Although Qingtang was defeated, it has to be said that this Li Liangzhuo is a person who can judge the situation and is good at choosing the right time, and he is also a very shameless and capricious person.

Since the Tanyuan Alliance, the relationship between Guochao and Beiliao has been quite harmonious.Whether the civil strife in the Northern Liao Dynasty will give rise to Li Liang's desire to fight a large-scale war against the country, Zhao Xi is unable to determine.

However, for a long time, Xixia's harassment of the border has never stopped.It's no wonder that in the battle against Xia, apart from defending the city and defeating it, Guochao really had no justifiable victories.

In fact, this time, Zhao Xi was fully confident that Xixia would provoke the war.

It's just that I can't say it too clearly at this time.

Fu Bi is clear that the grain and wool transactions operated by Xue Xiang are also gradually advancing.

Once this battle fails to provoke Xixia to fight, it will be nothing more than speeding up the progress of grain and wool trading operations.

Now, except for the workshop city, there are not many merchants who trade grain in Xixia... because they don't need wool, and they don't make much money by purely selling grain.

This is also Zhao Xi's other preparation.

"Your Highness, what are the odds of winning this battle?"

Here it is, finally back to the core issue, which should be the most concerned and worried thing of the whole Zhengshitang, including his father.

"It's not a war of destroying the country, but a war of a larger scale. Xixia is not going all out to move the country, and the country is not going all out."

"Compared to the new army that has been training for many years and the western army that has been on the front line of the border, it should not be difficult to win such a battle."

"What's more, the equipment of the new army today is not the same as in the past, and Xixia has insufficient knowledge of firearms. Combining many factors, it is not impossible to achieve a big victory."

"At the lowest estimate, the new army joining the battle and cooperating with the western army can ensure that there will not be too many defeats."

Zhao Xi's words are already very modest.

Although he hadn't really seen the combat capability of the new army, he had read the training log. The soldiers of the guard battalion trained in rotation had the same assessment of the new army, which meant that the new army should be capable of fighting.

The power of this battle, in Zhao Xi's concept, is to give Xixia a good ending to the battle of Shuichuan.

"Your Highness, the battle is not easy, and Xixia is not comparable to Annan. Why don't you wait for a while, wait until everything is ready, and then discuss the battle, so you can be sure."

"Ms. Zeng, nothing is foolproof, let alone a battle. Preparation is never everything. Perfection is an assumption, and there will be shortcomings at any time."

"Whenever things start, it's readiness day."

"Now that the main line of the track is completed, the time for troop transport and Zizhong can be greatly shortened. The new armament has equipped nearly 20 soldiers, and the use of firearms has also reached a proficiency level."

"Moreover, the Neiyuan Food Factory has produced nearly enough new military rations for 20 soldiers in March... To a certain extent, everything is ready."

Without sufficient preparation, Zhao Xi would not be foolish enough to start a war.It is not a big deal to lose once, but I am afraid that if I lose again, the whole country will really lose all courage.That is not a matter of not talking about military affairs for 20 years, but that there will be no more wars until the dynasty is destroyed...

"Your Highness, what is the new military ration? Your Highness knows that the matter of military rations is not trivial, so how can you innovate at will?"

Zhao Xi found that Han Qi should be the most contradictory one.

How to say this old man, I guess he is the one who most wants to teach Xixia a lesson, but he is also the one who is most afraid of starting a war with Xixia.

Such a state of mind made him even more eager to prepare for the war to the extreme...

"It's just biscuits, another form of biscuits. Biscuits have been verified for many years, so there is no need to say much. And this kind of biscuits can still be eaten after half a year or even a year."

At the same time, Zhao Xi waved his hand, and Wang Zhongzheng quickly ran to the inner court.

"Your Highness, once the war starts, how many civilians will be recruited? How many soldiers will be mobilized? How many food reserves will be released? None of these can be prepared in a short time. But after the battle is over, the war is likely to start in a short time."

Since it can no longer be changed, let's put the topic on how to win this battle.

"My lords, there is no need for a civilian to participate in this expedition. All Zizhong's transportation will be handed over to the transportation team of the workshop city."

"Because the weight of the new army is different from that of traditional armaments, besides gunpowder, other armaments should not be transported by civilians."

"As for the mobilization of soldiers, except for the new army, it only needs the cooperation of the Western Army. This is especially true for the army rations. There is no need to open the reserve, and all of them will be handed over to the workshop city."

From the very beginning, Zhao Xi trained the track soldiers, workshop city labourers, and the entire transportation team in accordance with the engineering soldiers of later generations.

All of Zhao Xi's previous industrial planning was for profit, rather than a complete industrial chain of armaments.

Coal, iron ore, steelmaking, firearms, biscuits, sleeping bags, rails, transportation, etc., all of these are not related to war. At least now, all industries are ready to serve war.

Similarly, Fu Bi, Han Qi and the others are not of the easy-going type. After listening to Zhao Xi's words, they connect in their minds what Zhao Xi has done over the years... It turns out that His Royal Highness was planning a long time ago. It's time for this big battle!
eat?Cookies are for eating.Military to civilian?On the contrary, it is for both military and civilian purposes.The benefits of rail transport?Rather, it is more convenient for the transfer of armaments.

The husbands chewed the compressed biscuits. At this time, they really had mixed feelings.

So what about Shangwu?At this time, the industrial chain of His Highness the Crown Prince can completely set aside the court and complete a big battle on its own.

This is the real readiness. His Royal Highness is basically ready to realize his ambition.

　Inexplicably, the release can't be found!waiting to be resolved...
