Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 398 The Central Plains Dynasty Without Infrastructure, Without Soul
After Wang Ting asked the Khitan people to deliver the last military report, he rushed towards Huanglong Mansion with the vengeful soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty.

Winning or losing is not important to Wang Ting and the others, as long as they can reach Huanglong Mansion, they will win.

The purpose is achieved.

When Yang Xinzhong received the military report, he didn't have time to take care of the military report. Now he is tired of dealing with the Jinren's harassment.

He had already arrived at Wucheng, the core military fort in Fengsheng Prefecture overnight.

There are only two gates in Wucheng, which are extremely narrow. The gates are made of iron-clad wood.

Even so, the garrison officials of Wucheng prepared countless sacks filled with gravel. If the city gate was in danger of being broken, they would use these sacks to block the gate.

Prevent the entry of golden soldiers.

Wucheng is the core military fort of Fengsheng Prefecture. It is surrounded by ten miles. There is a garrison building in each of the four corners of the castle.

The private houses in the military castle are also different from most of the wooden structures in the mainland, and heavy stones are selected.

Not only that, but also built a series of thick walls, realizing the dream of the donkey cart emperor and the concept of T-shaped street rejecting the land.

T-shaped streets are everywhere in the military fort. The military fort is a military unit, and most of the houses are for the use of military families.

The difference between building Tingzi Street in Taiyuan City and building Tingzi Street in Fengsheng Prefecture lies in the different attributes of the place.

Taiyuan City is an important pass and hub of Hedong Road, extending in all directions, and there are a lot of business travelers passing by. To build a T-shaped street in Taiyuan City is to trip yourself up.

But the military fort in Fengsheng Prefecture is different. Soldiers don’t do business. Huiyi is also done in other areas of Yunzhong Road. There are no merchants here.

This is just a big barracks.

To the west of Wucheng is Laiyuan Fort, which is a small military fort with a perimeter of no more than two miles, but its geographical location and dangerous location are built near mountains and rivers. At the junction, we can receive support from Hedong Road and Yunzhong Road at any time.

The city wall of Laiyuan Castle is about three feet and five feet high, built with stones and indestructible.

Behind Laiyuan Fort is the Great Wall, which has been in disrepair for a long time.

Laiyuan, Wucheng, and Dajingmen are connected to the city, forming a line of defense in front of Juyongguan.

There are [-] Yongxing troops stationed in Wucheng, and they can get support from Hedong Road and Yunzhong Road behind Yuanbao.

The terrain of Laiyuan, Wucheng and Dajingmen Pass is dangerous, and the reason why Wanyan Zonghan, who is gathering his troops, can't chew these three hard bones is not because he doesn't want to.

But now Wanyan Zonghan can't chew on these three military forts and passes.

In front of the defense line of Laiyuan and Wucheng, there are densely populated civilian fortresses, which are surrounded by a mile or even less than a mile.The wall of the city is two feet high.

But there are dozens of such civilian fortresses, and every dozen civilian fortresses are accompanied by a small military fortress.

The minbao is very simple, but they are horns for each other, and the whole body can be moved by one movement.

Songjia Fort, Changming Fort, Beiguan Fort, Nuanquan Small and Medium Fort, and Kaiyang Fort were built by the government, but there are also civilian forts built by the people spontaneously, which are countless.

This brought great difficulties to Wanyan Zonghan's march.

Jin Bing sent a small number of elite soldiers to attack the Minbao, surrounded by Minbao for support, and Yan Zonghan began to doubt whether he was a famous general of the Jin Kingdom after the fight.

If a large number of troops are sent to attack the minbao, the people of the minbao will retreat during the time when the troops are dispatched and the generals gather. When the golden soldiers arrive, they can only take an empty minbao.

After the fight, defending the city has become a problem again.

If a small group of soldiers is sent to garrison, when the main army withdraws to the camp of the Chinese army, the people of Minbao will go back and forth, and return to Minbao through the secret road left behind.

The civilian fort that had just been taken down and hadn't warmed up was taken back again.

If a large number of soldiers are sent to garrison, there is a danger of being divided and broken by the enemy, so marching is a taboo.

Fortunately, the military fort in Yu County was only half built. It was a military fort with a circumference of ten miles just like Wucheng.

If it is fully completed, Wanyan Zonghan doesn't know how to fight this battle to the south.

Wanyan Zonghan's strategy is to take it step by step and plan it slowly.

This completely runs counter to the battle plan issued by the Emperor Wanyan Sheng of the Kingdom of Jin to quickly take down Yunzhong Road.

Wanyan Zonghan still remembered the knife that Shen Cong slashed at Ningwuguan. The advance this time made Wanyan Zonghan's back feel cold. It took less than a year for the Song people to show their resilience.

Wanyan Zonghan even wanted to hand over his military power and go back to retire.

It's not that the Jinbing suffered heavy losses, it's just that thousands of people have been lost up to now.

It was the extremely slow march that made the Jin people lose their greatest advantage, which was the transfer speed of the cavalry.

The root of all this is largely related to Zhao Huan who is far away in Bianjing.

To be precise, Zhao Huan's drawing of the military forts in Fengsheng Prefecture is a map of the distribution of military forts in the Ming Dynasty, which is most useful for dealing with nomads.

The reason why Zhao Huan didn't like the donkey cart emperor's move to dig a hole on Hebei Road was because the donkey cart emperor knew that there was a useful plan, but he didn't adopt it, and insisted on digging a hole.

It is very reasonable for the Central Plains Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction.

The plan of building fortresses to defend against the enemy can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, and reached its peak in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

These are all written in the history books. Zhao Huan has seen countless descriptions of military forts in Huanglan.

Even the fort drawings of the Eastern Han Dynasty are readily available in Huanglan.

But the emperor didn't use the donkey cart, because he needed to use the property of the sealed pile storehouse,
The money in the treasury is abundant and has a place to go.It is not my wish to spend a lot of money and silk on the military fort.

The proposal of the ministers to build a military fort on Hebei Road was set up by the donkey cart emperor to buy the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun with the closure of piles.

The pigs in the Hanzhong of the Tang Tower were circled, and the mite was cleared and dug to pieces. (The tower of the Tang Dynasty, the tomb of the Han Dynasty, the military fort of Zhu Ming.)
Chinese orthodox dynasties, no matter whether they are advancing or retreating, have their own set of extremely mature gameplay, and this gameplay is based on infrastructure as the core, and it has been verified by the long river of history and is an effective gameplay.

Building a military fort is a very cost-effective thing. The main feature of a military fort is longevity.

No standard weapon can achieve the long service life of a military fort.

Moreover, the military fort can also gather energy to extend blessings to descendants and gather the people, especially on the day when the fort is upgraded to a city, it represents complete control over this land.

It is not uncommon for the Song Dynasty to use the military fort system with no harm at all. Whether it is the military fort of the Longyou Governor's Mansion now, or the normal historical line, the mountain cities in the two Sichuans in central Sichuan are all of the same kind.

Such a standard weapon, which is good everywhere except for the cost, was rejected by the donkey cart emperor.

He created his own method of digging pits and arrays, and buried Da Song in it.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty was the richest dynasty in all dynasties.

It wasn't until Zhao Huan became emperor that he tasted a bit of the charm of the Central Plains Dynasty.

At this time, people don't know what they meant at the time, but they know it today. Only great efforts can produce miracles.

A dynasty without infrastructure has no soul.

With a 75-year-old body, Yang Zongmin personally stationed himself in Laiyuan, the most dangerous military fortress. He only had a Yongxing army of less than [-] people, but he still put on a battle to destroy the city and kill people.

Yang Zongmin has long understood the government's will.

Yang Xinzhong is a young man in his 20s. Regardless of his military achievements or qualifications, he has not reached the point where he became the military chief and economic envoy of Yunzhong Road.

The canonization of the official family was conferred on him, the Yang family Zhongliang, the 75-year-old old man of the Yang family who was formerly the general manager of the Yongding Army Road.

At this time, Yang Zongmin's eyes were already dimmed, and he was at the age of trembling hands just like when he was a teacher.

"Old Xianggong, Director Yang sent the military report. Changming Fort was lost and regained. The golden soldiers are less than [-] miles away from Laiyuan Fort. Director Yang asked old Xianggong if he would withdraw to Wucheng?" Said loudly.

"If you let the old man withdraw to that Wucheng! Let that Yang Xinzhong come over and guard here! Little bastard, the hair hasn't even grown yet! Just direct it to his grandpa."

Although Yang Zongmin was old, his angry scolding made people feel inexplicably at ease.

"That's what Director Yang meant. He said that he would switch defenses with the old man, and Wucheng should be safer. He is worried about the old man." The relative continued to say loudly.

Yang Zongmin's ears were a little hard, he frowned and asked loudly: "What, you say it again?"

"Boss Yang wants to switch defenses with the old man." The servant raised his voice and shouted loudly.

"When you're young, you talk like a woman. If you're weak, speak up! Can't hear you." Yang Zongmin pointed at the guard and cursed.

The guard scratched his head, Yang Zongmin in front of him must have heard it, and he heard it clearly, pretending to be confused on purpose.

The old Yang family has only one male in Yang Xinzhong. Guarding the gate of the country is a tradition of the Yang family. This cannot be lost, but the inheritance of the Yang family's descendants cannot be lost.

Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both.

Yang Zongmin hoped that Yang Xinzhong would go further, so he used his own unique way to let Yang Xinzhong have both loyalty and filial piety.

"Director Yang is also afraid that the old man is here, so that the strategy he formulated to deal with the enemy will not be effective." The personal guard persuaded loudly.

And Yang Zongmin said with a look of disgust: "I am his grandfather! When I was fighting, he was still using urine and mud! I am the one who can determine the strategy?"

The personal guard is helpless, this old man can hear clearly now.
