The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1030 Breaking the detour
In Shouchun Great Song Palace, apart from the cabinet Yu Yunwen, Zhuge Liang, Ding Wei, etc., soon there will be a large number of top advisors including Buzhi, Jiang Wan, Jia Xu, Tian Feng, Jushou, Liu Ye, Xu Shu, Chen Gong, etc. .

The Military Aircraft Department is a special department. The Military Aircraft Department includes various departments such as military administration, military committee, staff officer, military court, and military intelligence.

Military intelligence is also an intelligence agency, and it is now a parallel system with Jinyiwei and Huangcheng Division.

As mentioned earlier, neither the Jinyiwei nor the Imperial City Division is allowed to touch the military, and the intelligence agency within the military was born from this.

Military intelligence agencies, although the scope of responsibilities of intelligence agencies is much smaller, are only responsible for internal intelligence of the army, investigation of internal traitors, etc., of course, they also export intelligence personnel to foreign troops or anti-government armed forces.

It was managed by Zhuge Liang before, but now Jia Xu is in charge.

With the separation of the military and the government, this group of great talents did not touch the internal affairs of the country.

However, they are responsible for all the government affairs of the military. During wartime, they may also go out with the army to serve as military advisers, and may even directly command the troops.

Therefore, Jia Xu, Tian Feng, Jushou and others did not imagine that it was as easy as making suggestions.

The Military Aircraft Department is the general name of the various military departments, and the number of people is no less than that of the twelve departments. In addition, there were originally a large number of people in the main hall, and it was very lively for a while.

Lu Heng first handed Zhuge Zhengwo's information to everyone for review, and all the seniors in the Military Aircraft Department were surprised after reading it!
"Your Majesty is brilliant, as expected, the heavy armored cavalry is useless against the Mongolian iron cavalry! It was my mistake back then!" Tian Feng said first.

Tian Feng is a straightforward person, he can say what he thinks of, if he thinks he is right, he will make straightforward suggestions, and if he is wrong, he will apologize and reflect on himself.

Lu Heng was glad that he had thrown him to the military aircraft department to avoid participating in the internal affairs, otherwise he and Zhang Zhao would have been around, and he would have been angered by these two people so that he would lose his life for a few years.

Like Zhang Zhao and Tian Feng, there are quite a few people in the Song Dynasty, such as Master Bao, Li Gang, Chen Dong, and Ouyang Che. One person is enough for the unfavorable words. Before it was Zhang Zhao and now it is Zhuge Liang.

What Tian Feng said was that five years ago, Lu Heng proposed to add a medium cavalry unit between the heavy cavalry and light cavalry of the various cavalry units. Instead, the weapon carries two cavalry crossbows.

This kind of cavalry uniformly uses Huaxia horses instead of the tall horses of Xiliang, Bingzhou, and Youzhou. It is characterized by strong attack power at medium and long distances, flexibility and certain defensive power.

Lu Heng wants to form this cavalry to deal with the Mongols, this sword of Damocles!

The heavy cavalry had to be established because the main opponents at that time were the Jurchen and the Khitans, but since Lu Heng took Mongolia as his imaginary enemy, he would naturally find a way to solve the devious tactic, which is commonly known as the kite-flying tactic.

Without him, the tactics of the Mongols are too strong. Almost all games in later generations have this tactic. Even the modern military strategist's "Sixteen-Character Mantra" actually originated from Mongolia's devious tactics.

With the decline of the Liao people, it is already a matter of time before the Song Dynasty and Mongolia fight. Evaporating the grassland to make the enemy's home field and becoming our home field is just to be undefeated.

With the current power and distance of the Da Song Bow and Crossbow Battalion, Da Song can guarantee undefeated, but can not guarantee victory!
Why do you say that?

The composite strong bow was replaced by the composite strong crossbow in the Song Dynasty. The god arm bow is one of the top existences, the long distance god arm bow, the middle distance composite strong bow, the upgraded version of the Zhuge Liannu at close range, and the eight ox ballista cart The presence.

Even if the Mongols and the Song Dynasty Bow and Crossbow Battalion played against each other, Lu Heng had the confidence to remain undefeated.

But as mentioned earlier, the key to defeating Mongolia's long-range means is mobility.

The Bow and Crossbow Battalion was powerful, but they couldn't catch up with the Mongol cavalry. They could only defend but not attack.

But Mongolia is different from Liao and Jin. Lu Heng's Great Song Dynasty can build cities to Mobei Grassland, to the shore of Lake Baikal, and to the Bearskin Country is already the limit!

But it is impossible for Da Song to build the city to Europe, which is simply unrealistic!
Therefore, there is no way to completely fight against the Mongolian cavalry, and it is impossible to defeat the Mongols. Therefore, Lu Heng must form cavalry that can catch up and cause long-range damage.

Just like the formation of heavy cavalry is to fight against the Jurchens and Khitans, the number does not need to be large, but it must be there!

However, Lu Heng's idea was strongly opposed by Tian Feng five years ago. This gentleman thought that this would be too detrimental to the country's strength. The current deployment of Song Dynasty cavalry is sufficient, and there is no need to add another cavalry.

Five years ago, the total army strength of the Great Song Dynasty had exceeded one million, and the 80 forbidden army was naturally not that many. There were still 50 troops, plus Yue Fei, Di Qing, Du Gao, Ma Teng, Zhang Xiu, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, etc. It is very normal for the border garrison to break through this force.

Among them, the Forbidden Army Jingsai Army, Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, Zhao Yunlei Cavalry Camp, Taishi Cifeng Cavalry Camp, Ganning Jinfan Cavalry, Huyanzan Chixin Camp, Huns, Dangxiang, Xianbei, Liaodong Cavalry, Shi Wengong Thunder Cavalry, etc. Several cavalry will be close to 30.

Some people will question the nonsense, how can there be so many 30 cavalry, what is the concept of 30 cavalry?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spent all the savings of his father and grandfather to save so many cavalry!

Of course, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty started from scratch, and Liu Bang Jianguo couldn't find a war horse of the same color, so it can be seen to what extent there was a shortage of war horses in the early Han Dynasty.

But Lu Heng’s Great Song Dynasty was different. Exterminating the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Dangxiang, and incorporating the Xiliang Iron Cavalry were just these four aspects. It can be said that the Great Song cavalry was used for doctrine.
In the defeat of the Liao Kingdom, the invasion of Goryeo, and especially in the several battles of the defeat of the Liao Kingdom, war horses were captured in droves. In the later period of the Song Dynasty, there was no shortage of war horses, and there were countless war horses that could be trained and bred to breed their own war horses.

Not to mention that Lu Heng has been asking Huangfuduan to train local war horses. After the recovery of the Western Regions, Wusun, Dawan, and Congling are all places where war horses are produced. In addition, a large number of grasslands in the grassland plan were merged into the Chinese territory, which made animal husbandry more extensive. Foundation.

Therefore, the national conditions are different, and the results are different!

Some people want to object again, how can there be so many war horses, just add a cavalry army, Tian Feng objected to it?
It's true that the war horses are taken from the doctrine, but note that this cavalry is not the war horses brought from the doctrine, but the Chinese horses bred by Huangfuduan with island horses. Of course, these are not the key Chinese horses to feed.

The point is that one more cavalry means an extra 30 armor, equipment, and weapons. The food and salaries of the soldiers are all expenses. Obviously, it is definitely not a small expense for the legion of the Song Dynasty that has exceeded one million. .

If it weren't for the over-developed commerce and trade in the Song Dynasty, and the continuous gold coming to the Song Dynasty from the Silk Road in the Western Regions and the Maritime Silk Road, it can be said that these more than 100 million legions can drag down the internal affairs of the Song Dynasty!
