Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"You can assist Zhang Shuye in this matter. Remember not to forcibly grant land in order to complete the task. The land granted should be near the recipient's hometown, and you should not mess around."

"Yes."

On the tenth day of April, when the capital was rectifying the clan's land and family wealth, dealing with pensions, and recruiting recruits, another military report came from the Daming Mansion, which shocked the government and the public.

What military newspaper?

The report from the Eastern Front is here!

Interesting to say, the battle report on the Eastern Front should have come from Li Gang's Cangzhou, but this time the battle report was from the Daming Mansion.

Because this battle report is about Yue Fei's battle situation on the Eastern Front, and Yue Fei belongs to the frontier defense force of Daming Mansion, so he will send the battle report to Daming Mansion as soon as he has the battle report.

When everyone in the Daming Mansion read Yue Fei's battle report, their first reaction was not shock, but surprise, and then suspicion.

Suspect that kid Yue Fei falsely reported his military exploits!

Even Zongze didn't believe it was true.

It's not their fault, anyone would believe this.

But it just happened to him.

With [-] cavalry, defeated [-] gold army!

In order to confirm the military report, Zong Ze did not send it to Bianjing first, but sent someone to find Yue Fei and verify it.

After all, this matter is too involved, if it is false, if it is reported to Bianjing, it will cause public outrage, not to mention that Yue Fei will be arrested, I am afraid he will lose his head.

After further verification, Zong Ze sent this military report to Bianjing in surprise.

After reading this military report, Zhao Ning was so excited that he almost didn't jump up.

Really my good Yue Fei!

Such a beautiful fight so quickly!

Zhao Ning walked up and down the Wende Hall, thinking in his heart how to reward Yue Fei.

Just when he was excited, Li Gang's battle report also came.

Also about the Eastern Front.

It was Han Shizhong's military newspaper that defeated the Jin army at Wuqiao. According to the captives, the Jin army there was the personal guard of Wanyan Zongfu, the commander of the East Road.

Zhao Ning looked at the military newspaper, good guy, are the two people sent over so fierce!

Chapter 170 The Kingdom of Jin Has Retired (Part [-])

"Go! Hurry up and send this battle report to Yanfu Palace, so that the Supreme Emperor can have a good look at it, and let him die!"

"Yes!"

In Yanfu Palace, Zhao Ji was stunned when he saw the battle report on the Eastern Front.

He didn't know that apart from Wan Yanchang, he, Zhao Ji, could have played so smoothly on the Eastern Front!

After the battle report from the Eastern Front came, Zhao Ning felt that the pressure on his shoulders suddenly decreased a lot.

April [-], Yanjing.

Wanyan Zongwang saw Wanyan Gao.

Wan Yangao woke up after being in a severe coma for several days.

Since then, he has been bedridden.

Seeing Wanyan Gao again, Wanyan Zongwang seemed to not recognize the person in front of him.

Wanyan Gao was even thinner, like a pile of wood.

But his eyes are still sharp, and his whole person still has that kind of sharpness that makes people dare not look directly at him.

"Zong Wang, you're here."

Zong Wang greeted him very politely: "Fan Ban Bo Ji Lie, how is your health?"

"Slowly getting better."

"That would be great, His Majesty sent me to greet you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Lao Zongwang is here too."

"Your Majesty knows everything about the front line. Your Majesty is more concerned about your body."

"Zongwang, although our army suffered heavy losses this time, the Song army is also at the end of its strength. We must mobilize the army again to give the Song army a final blow and completely defeat all the defense lines of the Song Dynasty."

Zong Wang sighed, at this moment Wanyan Gao was still thinking about destroying Song Dynasty.

He also admitted that the Song army might be at the end of its strength at this time. As long as it recruited more troops, not to mention capturing the emperor of Song, it would definitely destroy the foundation of the Song army and push the power of the Song Dynasty back to the Yangtze River. Dajin can occupy the Central Plains.

But this is only possible.

This is a matter of probability. If the Song army cannot be completely defeated if the army is recruited again, Dajin's national power will suffer an unprecedented loss.

Zongwang still wanted to preserve his strength and conquer the Yelu Dashi and the Mughals on the grassland.

"Familiar with the class is extremely strong. I have just sent back news from the secret work that I placed in Bianjing. The emperor of Song Dynasty is recruiting 80 troops and is preparing to deploy heavy defenses in Hebei, Hedong, and Shaanxi."

"Impossible! The loss of the Song Dynasty was greater than ours. They paid you a huge sum of money the year before last. Where did they get the money to recruit soldiers?"

Wanyan Gao became excited: "Don't forget, the Song Dynasty had a military recruitment system!"

This is the difference.

In the recruiting system, soldiers are professional soldiers who are supported by the imperial court and are provided with salaries, food, and other daily necessities every month.

But the Jin army is different. The Jin army's Menganmouke system is a combination of soldiers and farmers, similar to the military system. Soldiers are soldiers during wartime, and farmers or hunters during non-wartime.

In other words, there is no need to pay salaries to the army at ordinary times.

The military systems of the two countries are completely different, and the costs are also different. Ten thousand deaths of the Jin army and ten thousand deaths of the Song army are not the same concept.

Moreover, Jin Guo's pension is much lower than that given by Zhao Ning.

"The State of Song can't afford to support so many soldiers. Besides, what will the newly recruited soldiers do!"

"Familiar with Banbo, I also found out about the detailed work I placed in Hebei and Hedong. The Song army is recruiting troops on a large scale. In many rivers, I saw the Song army transporting food and supplies, and rebuilding camps. These news come from They work differently, they don’t know each other.”

Wan Yangao said: "Zongwang, you are also a good minister who governs the country. You should be able to calculate the loss of the Song Dynasty in the past two years, not to mention the loss of the roads in Hebei, Hedong, and Shaanxi. I am afraid that the Jingji Road will also be damaged. Halfway through, what will the emperor of Song do to recruit another 80 troops?"

Wanyan Gao seemed a little excited: "That's just a trick of the Song Dynasty emperor to deceive us, you should be clear!"

"Although it is indeed possible that the emperor of the Song Dynasty deliberately showed it to us, it is enough to prove their determination to fight. Don't forget, we did not cause a devastating blow to the southeast region, which is the richest in the Song Dynasty. This time, Zong The auxiliary troops were defeated and failed to enter Lianghuai."

There are a large number of canals in the Lianghuai area that lead directly to Gyeonggi. The development of the Lianghuai area began at the beginning of the Song Dynasty. The governors of all dynasties pointed out the importance of the Lianghuai area when they were seeking the country.

In addition to Jiangnan East Road and Jiangnan West Road, it was greatly developed in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Great Song Dynasty was drawn to foreign wars, but its internal governance was definitely not comparable to that of several dynasties.

From 2.95 million mu of land at the beginning of the Song Dynasty to more than 7 million mu of land at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the fertile land doubled, all of which depended on bureaucrats and officials.

The Great Song Dynasty's reclamation of fertile land and development of water conservancy are unmatched by all dynasties.

This also laid the foundation for the two-year war and the restoration of Gyeonggi Road.

"I don't believe that the Song Dynasty still has the strength to continue to resist. I want to go back to Beijing." Wanyan Gao stood up excitedly, and the veins on his forehead popped out.

Zong Han and Zong Wang on the side quickly went to help him.

"Familiar with Banbo, your body is the most important thing now."

"Zongwang!" Wanyan Gao shouted, "Mie Song is just around the corner!"

Zongwang said patiently: "Ambanbo is extremely fierce. When we launched a war against the Song Dynasty last year, the Mughals on the grassland elected Hebul as Khan King!"

Upon hearing the Mughal, Wanyan Gao fell silent, and Wanyan Zonghan on the side also fell silent.

The Mughal tribes on the Mongolian plateau were extremely restless forces when they were in the Liao Kingdom. The Khitans were originally nomadic people with similar living habits. They adopted one country with multiple systems and could suppress the Mughals.

But in the second year of Jingkang in history, that is, the year of Jingkang's shame, the Mongols broke away from the Liao Kingdom and established the Mongol Khanate, which was the predecessor of Mongolia.

From the beginning to the end, Jin Guo was very afraid of this force on the grassland.

Now that the situation in the Song and Jin Dynasties is like this, if the grassland is in the hands of the Jin Kingdom, the probability that Wanyan Gao can continue to wage war will be greatly increased.

However, the Mughals were restless, and the latest intelligence revealed that the Song Dynasty was still recruiting troops.

Even if there is water in 80, the grain transportation team on the river, and the rumored recruitment of soldiers in Hebei and Hedong all prove the determination of Song Dynasty for this war.

Facing such a Great Song Dynasty, even if the power of the Han people in the Central Plains was truly defeated, the Kingdom of Jin would inevitably be damaged.

Wanyan Zongwang calmly asked a very serious question: "Fan Banbo is extremely fierce, if at this time, Yelu Dashi encourages the Mughals to go east, what should we do?"

Wanyan Gao continued to remain silent, and even Zong Han continued to remain silent.

The two strong Song extermination factions fell silent at this moment.

Several people were silent with each other for a moment, before Zong Wang said: "Bianjing's meticulous work repays, Zongfu on the Eastern Front was defeated by a man named Yue Fei, and when the remaining elites were retreating, they were defeated by a Song Dynasty man named Han Shizhong from Wuqiao County. will defeat."

Zong Han said: "It's just luck."

"Zong Han, my people have inquired about this Yue Fei. He joined King Qin's army in the first year of Jingkang. At that time, he was just a capital, a centurion. This time he belonged to the Daming Mansion, but for some reason he went to the Eastern Front! "

"How many people did he take with him?"

"Four thousand cavalry defeated Zongfu's one hundred thousand army and attacked at night."

"This person is so courageous!"

"Fan Banbo is very strong, retreat. If you want to fight again, you can rest up for half a year and take the opportunity to investigate the Mughals. During this half year, we will thoroughly infiltrate the Song Dynasty and thoroughly understand our enemies."

Chapter 171 Wu Jie, who gave Jin Jun a headache (first update)

Zongwang's tone was always very gentle, as if he was preaching and teaching, which might have something to do with his belief in Buddhism.

Wanyan Gao was not reconciled, he clenched his right fist so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

He knew that what Zongwang meant was actually Wanyan Wu begging for money.

And summer is here, the summer in the Central Plains and the summer in Shangjing (Harbin area) are two completely different worlds.

The Jurchens themselves are afraid of heat.

Besides, most of the Northeast area is a combination of fishing, hunting and farming. Unlike nomadic people, they also want to farm and hunt.

The disadvantage of the Mokmengan system is that soldiers are not only soldiers, but also labor force, and they cannot stay on the battlefield for a long time.

But the recruiting system in the Great Song Dynasty was different. Professional soldiers could fight for as long as they wanted, concentrate on fighting, and don’t worry about other things.

While Wan Yangao was silent, another military report was sent to Yanjing.

Where is the military newspaper?

Taiyuan!

The situation of the Jin Army in Taiyuan is not optimistic.

It means to increase troops!

If Taiyuan wants to increase its troops, why is it talking about going south immediately on a large scale?

The Taiyuan battle report was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back in Wan Yangao's heart.

Wanyan Gao seemed to be silent for a long time, and then said: "Withdraw your troops, Zong Han, withdraw."

Zong Han smashed the incense burner on the table, and strode out: "Withdraw!"

Zong Wang smiled wryly and said: "Let's withdraw, please understand that Ban Bo Jilie issued an order to withdraw troops to Lou Shi."

"I'll make arrangements." Wan Yangao stood up from the bed, and being supported by Zong Wang, he coughed twice, "Perhaps you are right, the difficulty of destroying Song Dynasty is greater than what we imagined before. "

Wan Yangao recalled the seventh year of Xuanhe, that is, three years ago, when the Jin army went south to attack the Song Dynasty for the first time.

Before that, Song and Jin were considered allies. Just after the Liao Dynasty was destroyed, Aguda kept his promise and gave some towns in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to Song Dynasty.

However, the arrogant soldiers in the court of the Kingdom of Jin all saw the weakness of the Great Song in the battle against the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty.

In the winter of the seventh year of Xuanhe, the Jin army went south on a large scale, and the Song army fled in anticipation.

Next, in the first year of Jingkang, the Song army was vulnerable like a rotten tree, and then the Jin army easily crossed the Yellow River and approached the city of Bianjing.

Then there was the second conquest of the Song Dynasty at the end of the first year of Jingkang, which was equally devastating.

Until the second siege of Bianjing, the Song army resisted tenaciously.

Looking back now, the battle situation seems to have quietly changed since then.
