The system forced me to be emperor

For the current plan, the Great Xia Kingdom can only gather the guards from all over the country to form a large army to go north to fight against Qi and Yuan. I believe that the Qi army and Yuan army that are going south to invade this time are only the vanguard, and there will be more troops behind!

At this time, in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, all the senior officials looked worried.

His Majesty had already predicted and guessed, and it was within his expectation, so his expression was not unusual.

"I have to admit that I have underestimated the newly succeeded Emperor Qi. He can endure hatred and cooperate with the Yuan Kingdom. His ruthlessness and courage should not be underestimated." Xia Huang laughed.

The purpose of Yuan State's plundering in the south is for food, so as long as Qi Huang can swallow his anger and propose cooperation conditions, how can Yuan State's Khan disagree?

Emperor Qi became the grandson first, and sent envoys to lobby Khan of the Yuan Kingdom: "Khan, the Great Xia in the south is richer and has more food. I would like to subsidize food for you, so we will stop fighting. If you send troops, I will also send troops." And make way, when Xia Jun is greatly restrained by Zhao State and unable to take care of the north, how about we beat him hard and rob him? If Xia State is wiped out by then, our Qi State is willing to move three thousand miles south, Ceding the land to your Yuan Kingdom, okay?"

Khan Yuanguo thought for a while, then nodded again and again: "Okay, okay!"

There is no great hatred in the world, only the greatest interests, killing one's father and enemy can become sworn brothers.If Daxia can really be wiped out, Qi State will move its capital to the south and occupy the rich land of Daxia, so what if most of the northern territory is handed over to Yuan State!

And once the Yuan Kingdom got the land, it could be self-sufficient, and it also prevented them from looting when they had nothing to do!

This is indeed a good calculation.

Xiao Rui also said with emotion: "Father, my son is too stupid, never thought that Qi Huang would play this trick. Father, what should we do now?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone's eyes were on Emperor Xia.

Emperor Xia smiled and said, "We seem to be at a disadvantage on both sides, but is that really the case? The situation on the battlefield is always changing rapidly, so don't worry about the emperor and all your lovers. Since Qi and Yuan are attacking, then we The battle is ready. Huo Aiqing, the Ministry of War plans to issue a transfer order, and the Chinese military governor's office cooperates to arrange for all the guards in the northern state capital to assemble, and first form an army of 20 to go north to join the champion! Let the armies of Qi and Yuan enter the Great War! In the middle of summer!"

"I obey the order!" Huo Xingye and Ye Xiu responded immediately.

The Great Xia Kingdom adopted the system of guards. Except for the Marquis of Champion, Marquis of Changsheng, Marquis of Xiaoyong, and Marquis of Zhenyuan stationed at the border gates, the military towns and fields were used to garrison soldiers. Only then did the army gather for the expedition.

Da Xia has recuperated over the years, coupled with the adoption of the garrison system, the soldiers' drills are subject to many influences and restrictions, resulting in the ups and downs of Da Xia's overall strength, and it has also caused great trouble for the enemy's spies. They don't even know how many soldiers Xia has. !

And like Zhao Guo, they have a recruiting system, soldiers are soldiers, and they are only responsible for training and fighting, which is a profession. With Zhao Huang's large number of troops, more than 150 million elite troops are flawless.Moreover, Zhao Huang believes that Daxia is affected by the system of garrisoning fields, and those who are crooked and unskilled in fighting are eliminated, and the superb troops that can be mobilized are at most 30 million.

So even if Daxia's territory surpassed that of Zhao State, and its population also surpassed that of Zhao State, so what?The shortcomings of the system are fatal, so Zhao Huang is not afraid of Daxia, and has the courage to clamor for a fight.

But the truth?

How could the current emperor of Xia not know the disadvantages of the farming system.

According to the farmland system of the Great Xia Kingdom, soldiers from all over the country are in charge of the guards, and the guards are in the charge of the commander of the capital. Their responsibilities include military training, governor, water transportation, farming, governor, military prison, and even assisting in public security. See It is indeed very busy to get up, and the cumbersome things prevent the soldiers from practicing wholeheartedly, and the combat effectiveness is naturally weak. Therefore, Daxia's external declaration and the investigation and speculation of the enemy country believe that Daxia's available superb troops are only 30 to [-].

But they don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in the Great Xia Kingdom!

Not only was the enemy army ignorant, but even Huo Xingye, Minister of the Ministry of War of Daxia, was unaware of it!

Don't doubt it, it's true!

Although the Ministry of War is in charge of the soldiers and horses in the world, the current emperor Xia has issued an order that the military status of the soldiers in the world will be in charge of the five armies' governor's office, and they have not reported to the Ministry of War for summary.Therefore, the Ministry of War does not know, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies only knows the soldiers and horses under its jurisdiction, and does not know the total number, so only His Majesty and the cabinet know how many soldiers there are in the whole Great Xia!

Xiao Rui didn't know either, but Xiao Rui had someone like Jia Xu, and the three of them guessed that there should be more than 250 million soldiers registered in the Great Xia Kingdom. More than 300 million!

300 million troops, what a huge number!

Over the years, Emperor Xia has long known the disadvantages of the garrison system. In order to make more soldiers dare to kill the enemy and train themselves to make up for the shortcomings of insufficient combat power, the imperial court has repeatedly promulgated policies that are beneficial to soldiers, such as donating land and supplementing salaries. , Improve military merit, etc., these policies are subtly improving the combat effectiveness of soldiers.

It's just that Daxia has been too peaceful these years and has never fought, which makes the enemy think that although Xia has many soldiers, they are all soft-legged shrimps, and there are very few elite soldiers available.

With a total force of more than 300 million, less than 100 million soldiers have been dispatched to conquer Zhao, so will His Majesty worry about the attack of Qi and Yuan?

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, following Emperor Xia's arrangement, several ministers stepped back one after another and rushed to make arrangements.

And Xiao Rui sat there, quietly lost in thought, thinking about what Zhang Liang had said to him.

When the time comes, the situation in the world will naturally change.

Now that Zhao State has pushed [-]% of its elite troops to Canglan Pass, which has left the hinterland of Zhao State empty. At such an opportunity, should there be some movement in Qin State?

Chapter 442: The Great War Is Starting, and the Ice Rain Breaks Out

Qin State is recognized as the most powerful country in mainland China.

As the Zhao army used troops against Great Xia in an all-round way, all the elite troops pressed down on the Canglan Pass, resulting in a lack of troops in the hinterland of Zhao, and there were no more troops stationed at the three passes in the Qinling Mountains. Now each pass only has [-] troops stationed for defense. Qin State.

And as Qi State and Yuan State used troops against Great Xia, Qin State's secretly assembled forces were finally revealed, and 50 troops directly attacked Beihu Pass.

When Xiao Rui invited Zhang Liang out of the mountain, Zhang Liang deduced the situation in the world. He put himself in Qin's shoes and imagined how Qin would conquer the world.Zhang Liang could think of it, and the counselors around Emperor Qin naturally thought of it too, so when Qin sent troops to the North Shuguan, an elite cavalry force of 5000 men was heading north across the forest, sea and snow field, preparing to invade Zhao.

At the same time, a large number of infantry crossed the Qinling Mountains, walked between the plank roads and mountain roads, and also invaded Zhao.

Qin's war began, and so far, all the seven kingdoms of China have fallen into war.

Time flies, and another five days have passed.

With the invasion of the Qi army and the Yuan army, the state machinery of Daxia was fully activated. Afterwards, the governors of the five armies cooperated with the Ministry of War, and the northern states dispatched guards and soldiers to gather 20 troops to go north. Champion Hou led the troops to fight against the Qi and Yuan armies .

The Qi State sent 15 troops, and the Yuan Army sent 25 troops to form a combined army of 200 to go south, and the distance from the border is still more than 30 miles.And according to reports from spies in Qi, there are still [-] troops from the two countries gathering to continue their southward invasion.

Xiao Rui continued to study government affairs in the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the morning, but now [-]% of government affairs are related to wars, after all, there are frequent wars now.

However, apart from the war, there are other unsolvable matters that need to be reported directly to His Majesty.

At this time, Emperor Xia had in his hand an urgent memorial sent by the governor of Caozhou six hundred miles away.

After Xia Huang looked at it, he rubbed his brows, sighed lightly and said, "Sure enough, it's still here."

The sigh attracted Xiao Rui, and Xiao Rui asked, "Father, what happened?"

Emperor Xia handed the memorial to Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui took a look and said, "Ling Xun?!"

Ice flood refers to the sudden rise of river water caused by the melting of ice and snow in the upstream, but the downstream has not yet thawed.This year's weather is cold, and the Yellow River, the largest river in the north of Xia Kingdom, has also been frozen and sealed off. Moreover, the Yellow River's course is winding and winding, spanning high and low latitudes, and it is very capricious.

This kind of willfulness makes the Yellow River flow from low latitude to high latitude after entering Caozhou, that is, from southwest to northeast.In winter, the temperature is warm at the top and cold at the bottom.Now in the spring, the ice layer of the Fenghe River has begun to melt, and because the temperature is high in the south and low in the north, the Kaihe River flows from the upper reaches to the lower.

Now the Yellow River in Caozhou is melting and melting, but the downstream Jeju and Binzhou are still frozen.If it is not controlled, a large amount of ice and water from the upstream will rush downstream, forming a large ice flood peak. When the river ice dams up and the water level will be raised, a terrible ice flood disaster will occur.

Since ancient times, there have been ice floods in the land of eastern Shandong.

Emperor Xia sighed: "This year's weather is changeable, which will inevitably lead to natural disasters. Years ago, I ordered the cabinet to notify the state capitals that the Yellow River flows through to pay close attention to the ice flood situation. The mourning will be everywhere, and the downstream will be reduced to Zeguo."

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Since ancient times, the way to deal with the flood has been to beat ice and scatter the soil, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources. My minister read that the governor of Caozhou pointed out in the memorial that he has already mobilized the masses to take action."

"Although actions have been taken, the speed of breaking the ice by manpower is too slow, and there is a time limit for breaking the ice. It is necessary to grasp the forecast of ice conditions and choose the right time to break the ice. It is most effective to break the ice when the river is fast open. The ice breaks early when the temperature drops and then freezes again. In the evening If you break the ice, you will lose the opportunity to break the ice. When the river course is long and the amount of ice is large, it is necessary to choose important river sections that may form ice dams, such as shoals, sharp bends, and narrow dike distances. From the perspective of this express report, this The governor of Caozhou is also an incompetent person, and he has no chance to coordinate everything. Look at the memorial, he didn't even explain when to open the river, how long it would take to break the ice, etc. It can be seen that he is also confused!" Xia Huang sighed .

Today, His Majesty has far-sightedness. Years ago, he was worried about Ling Xun. However, His Majesty is not the only one who manages the country, but also the parents and officials of various state capitals. If these parents and officials are incompetent, His Majesty who is far away in Kyoto can only sigh from the air.

If the ice flood is not handled well this time, it will inevitably flood the downstream coastal state capitals, causing heavy casualties.

At this moment, Xiao Rui got up and cupped his hands and said: "Father, let my son lead the Iron Dragon Rider and go with the gunpowder!"
