Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 463 Caliber Is Justice
Zhao Huan frowned and looked at Zhazi. From Hungary on the Danube River to the isolated Japanese country overseas, the Mongolian iron cavalry who heard his name and heard his name all trembled came.

In their most prosperous state, the Keled Department appeared in their field of vision.

Although the Qiyan tribe of the Jin family is still very weak, the Mongolian tribes have begun to grow stronger.

In front of Zhao Huan were three items that Zhao Huan could not accept.

The first is the compound recurve bow.

The compound bow in Zhao Ding's Zhazi is not the mechanical compound bow of later generations with mechanical pulleys to save effort.Instead, it is mainly made of stems, horns, tendons, glue, silk, lacquer and other materials. The above six materials are collectively called Liucai bow.

The recurved shape increases the bow force and reduces the bow body.

If the recurve bow is not strung, its bow arms are bent in the opposite direction, so it has higher mechanical energy and a longer range, because the shortened bow body has a faster rate of fire.

There are two such bows per person in the Kelei Department, one long-range longbow and one short-range shortbow. The range is two hundred steps, and the effective killing is about more than 300 meters.

The second is that the importance of bad horses has been discovered by the Ministry of Kret.

They have begun to ride bad horses and run on the grasslands, and most of their horses are mares, not castrated stallions for battle. During the march, they can use the mare's milk to make cheese, Reduce consumption.

Although this horse breed from the Hulunbuir Grassland in Mobei is also distributed in the territory of the Liao Kingdom, the number is very rare.

After all, this kind of horse is called Mongolian horse.

The third item is the advanced construction machinery that Zhao Huan can't accept the most, the trebuchet called the Giant Stone Cannon.

In Zhao Huan's cognition, this should be the peak siege equipment built in the late Mongolian period after he had learned both Chinese and Western!

It actually appeared in the workshop of the Ministry of Kret!
Could it be that he was arranged?

This was Zhao Huan's first feeling when he saw the boulder cannon.

But he soon found out that it was just a siege machine far inferior to his heavy gravity trebuchet, and he was relieved.

My ten-meter-high super machine can throw more than 100 kilograms of boulders 1000 meters.

This kind of super-heavy siege equipment can only be made by Song Dynasty for the time being.

The trebuchet of Kret is a small gravity trebuchet that can only throw [-] to [-] kilograms.

This made Zhao Huan inexplicably at ease, no matter what time, more is beautiful, big is good, caliber is justice!
Zhao Huan breathed a sigh of relief by being ahead in terms of caliber. Fortunately, he still has the trump card of the Tribulus Cannon. It is absolutely impossible for him to be killed to destroy the country, but this has brought resistance to his expansion.

Zhao Huan looked at the information in the letter, and then he understood where the recurve compound bow and trebuchet of the Kelei Department came from!
Great Qin Nestorian! 【Note 1】

This originated from the Great Qin region in the perception of the Central Plains Dynasty, which was a sect of the Roman Empire.

It was introduced into the Central Plains Dynasty during the period of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty. When Emperor Wuzong of Tang Dynasty exterminated Buddhism, he added a sentence by the way, "Let Daqin, Mu Hu, and exorcise more than [-] people to return to vulgarity, without mixing Chinese style."

The Daqin Nestorian had just withdrawn from the Central Plains Dynasty, and the only Daqin Temple was in ruins at the moment of Zhao Huan.

The Great Qin Nestorians did not give up their missionary activities, and they went deep into the Liao Kingdom.

The Liao Kingdom practiced Buddhism, Buddhism, and Sinicization was serious, and Nestorianism had no market, so the people of the Liao Kingdom drove them to Mobei, where they took root.

The Nestorians are called Yeli Kewen in the Mongolian context.

Zhao Huan found out the origin of Kelei's catapult, which made Zhao Huan heave a sigh of relief.

In terms of armament, Song Dynasty is completely ahead, but in terms of army quality, the Song Dynasty army is more than enough to defend the city, but not enough to attack.

When he planned the war to destroy gold by himself, and had just taken the overall initiative in the general situation of the Jin country, the Kelie people came.

Moreover, the attack was menacing, not at all the wild tribe that Zhao Huan thought it was!

They are an established army that had just defeated Yelu Dashi, who had sought to establish a country a hundred years ago.

Zhao Huan looked at the Kanyu map and asked Zhao Ding to stand by and wait for his edict.

And this edict is not the surrender of Zhenzhou.

On the contrary, let Yue Fei lead the remaining Hejian soldiers, Tribulus guns and medicine packs to rush forward while the weather is still clear.

Completely repel the Kelei Ministry of the four states where Zhenzhou is located!

Zhao Huan had no choice but to fight. The current Shangjing Road became an enclave after Yelu Dashi took the last Khitan elite with him.

If you don't occupy it yourself, the Kret will occupy them!
[Reminder of historical events: After Yelu Dashi gave up the Liao Shangjing Road, a large number of Khitans had no choice but to join the Mongolian tribes, which increased the population of the Mongolian tribes. 】

[The Khitan people on Yanjing Road became the signing army of the Jin people, following the Jin people and the Mongolian tribes, and launched a struggle for nearly a hundred years in the Wucha Grassland in the south of the Mon. 】

The reminder of history made Zhao Huan realize that it is not only a territorial issue, but also a population issue.

Now that the Kelie tribe has just occupied the land of the four states of Zhenzhou, this pearl on the prairie, it is not stable now.

Now that the Kelie tribe is not beaten back to Mobei, when the remaining population of the Khitan people is fully digested, their background will be thicker again.

It will be even more difficult to conquer at that time!It even became the confidant of Da Song!
Just when Zhao Huan was about to write down the edict, he stopped his pen again.

What about the Xixia people?
Dongshengwei is now the weakest place in Yanjing's defense line, and the city has not yet been repaired.

The military forts of Dongshengwei and Fengsheng Prefecture are the left and right wings of Datong Mansion.

The entire Yunzhong Road is a defense system established by Datong Mansion.

The line of defense on Yunzhong Road is the left wing of Yanjing Road.

Dongshengwei is the weakest link in the entire Yanjing defense system. If it is broken, it will put Datong Mansion in danger.

Zhao Huan's nine-town garrison system, which stole Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's garrison system, was breached many times after Dongsheng Prefecture was breached throughout the history of the Ming Dynasty.

This offensive and defensive system loses the ability to attack without Dongshengwei.

Although there are other passes serving as defensive missions, they are completely devoid of offensiveness.

And Chen Gui mentioned this issue in his "Strategy of Offense and Defense", attacking is the best defense.

Zhao Huan was stunned looking at the entire Kanyu map.

With Yue Fei transferred away, there will be no one to guard Dongshengwei. If the Xixia people come and take down Dongshengwei, their own system will lose its attack power and get involved in Shangjing Road, which is simply a fantasy.

However, if Yue Fei was not allowed to go north with the Hejian army, Zhao Ding could only withdraw from Zhenzhou and sit and watch the Kelie tribe and the Mongolian tribes carve up the population, livestock and territory of the entire Shangjing Road.

How to do?
Zhao Huan looked at Kanyu map, and asked in a daze: "Zhong Shaobao, you say..."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Huan himself laughed.

It was he who considered these issues on the days when he was indecisive and asked Mr. Zhong about these issues. At least, the assisted defense of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures was also consulted by Mr. Zhong.

What should I do now?
"System, can't you add some points? Add dozens of points to my military, is there still such a embarrassment?" Zhao Huan murmured.

[Greedy is not enough to swallow elephants, hehe. 】

Is it still as skinny as before?
Zhao Huan joked about the system, staring at Kanyu map in a daze, he needs to find someone to discuss, from counselors to generals, let them discuss collectively to see what to do.

For problems that cannot be solved by oneself, it is the last word to let the courtiers brainstorm.

The more the merrier.

He did not consult with the Bianjing civil service system.

It was because those guys couldn't wait for them to give up the benefits of Shangjing Road, so Da Song would still be the Da Song they were familiar with.

Now Da Song is becoming more and more unfamiliar, and they begin to worry that they are not following in the footsteps of the official family.

It is very difficult for the frog at the bottom of the well to break the comfortable living environment and jump out of the mouth of the well.

Zhao Huan spread the news and asked the counselors of the Privy Council and the generals of the Song Dynasty to provide their suggestions.

The fastest answer Zhao Huan received, and also the best answer so far, is from Yue Fei who is currently stationed in Dongshengwei to deter Xixia. It is very simple three words.
