Han Shizu

Chapter 1708 Pattern
In the Chongzheng Hall, Emperor Liu was discussing with Liu Tinghan and other military ministers about dispatching troops.It was said to be a discussion, but in fact it was Emperor Liu who accepted the report.

According to the plan of the Privy Council, in response to the Yulin Rebellion, the imperial court will strike hard, strike resolutely, and wipe it out completely. Even if Yulin is completely smashed, it will not hesitate.

Even in the preliminary plan of the Privy Council, it is necessary to mobilize 130,000 troops to go to the northwest to suppress thieves. If the local army in Yulin is added, there will be nearly [-] troops, and most of these troops are professional troops organized by the imperial court. Even regiment trainers are well-trained and selected from teams with experience in frontier defense.

After ten years of layoffs, reforms and rectifications, the number of registered professional soldiers in the Han Dynasty has dropped sharply, and they have been filled by rural soldiers. In terms of military quality, compared with ten years ago, there will inevitably be a decline. falling.

Of course, this by no means means that the strength of the Han army has become weaker. The remaining Han army, especially those professional soldiers, have higher quality and higher requirements, and their combat power is naturally stronger.

The meritorious generals such as Yang Ye, Pan Mei, and Shi Shouxin have not been in the court for these years, and their tasks have become patrol hunting on behalf of the sky, visiting all armies in the world, and supervising the reform of the military system, national defense settings, and military training after the reform. , to escort the reform of the military system.

After ten years of transformation, the Han army has not encountered any major challenges except for a bloody battle in the Western Regions to truly test the results.The battle against the Three Buddhas is not enough, the opponent is too weak, and it is too easy to win.

In contrast, the rebellion in Yulin can be used as a testing stone to sharpen the temperament of the Han army with actual combat.In addition, the development of the Han army, in addition to the improvement of personal quality, is also increasingly dependent on the use of equipment.

In the past few decades, the military technology and armament technology of the Han Dynasty have been significantly improved, and they have achieved leapfrog development. In the past, they relied most on strong crossbows, sharp blades, and strong armor. Weapons based on weapons began to appear in the Han army, and various new weapons were developed by those smart craftsmen under the heavy rewards of the military workshop.

Cold weapons are still the mainstream of warfare in this era, but during the more than 30-year transformation of Dahan, a lot of "hot" attributes have also been quietly added.After all, even artillery has been developed.

And Sun Yongping, the "eighth-rank worker" who took the lead in making the artillery, was directly bestowed by Emperor Liu as a marquis. Even if he is a third-class marquis, he can still be hereditary, just like the previous reward for the improvement of cotton spinning technology.

Of course, so far, artillery is still under experimentation. To fight against Hei Khan, a batch was dispatched to see the actual effect on the battlefield.However, before it was put into use, Hei Khan had already been defeated, Kucha was conquered, and it swept south of the Tianshan Mountains.

The victory in the war in the Western Regions was a traditional victory for the Han army, and the test of new weapons now focused on the Yulin Rebellion. Artillery in training studies were dispatched.

The birth of new weapons often brings changes in new military and tactical thinking. The birth of rockets replaced the role of sharp weapons such as traditional rhubarb crossbows to a certain extent, not to mention the artillery that was especially loved by Emperor Liu.

In the research of some military officers, if the power of the artillery can achieve the expected effect, then this sharp weapon in the future will completely replace the thunderbolt cannon that played a vital role in the invincibility of the Han army in the past.

That guy is really powerful, as the name suggests, he can create a war purgatory.However, it is cumbersome and difficult to operate, and requires more operators. A Thunderbolt Cannon requires at least a dozen or as many as dozens of people.Before the counterweight throwing car was developed, a thunderbolt gun even required hundreds of people to pull and launch it.

In contrast, artillery is much "lighter", more concise, and more powerful. After all, gunpowder can break mountains and rocks and shake heaven and earth.

Not only the traditional army, but the navy is also very concerned about artillery, not even to cater to the holy will. After all, in order to increase the strike capability of the naval fleet, the thunderbolt guns have been moved to warships, and the new artillery seems to be more suitable battleship.

Of course, at this time, Emperor Liu was not discussing the power of artillery and its role in the military innovation of the Han Dynasty with his courtiers, but was still thinking about Yulin's counter-insurgency strategy.

The counter-insurgency army was obviously dominated by the Northwest Local Army, and was also dispatched from the neighboring Hedong and Shanyang. If the Han Chinese volunteered and temporarily recruited Fanbing, the number of bandits suppressing troops could easily reach 200,000.

To encircle the whole Yulin without rush or slow, Zhao Pu's strategy of trapping the enemy is still somewhat reasonable. Emperor Liu also called it the cage policy.

The local Han people and even miscellaneous Hus can be distinguished and treated differently, but it is unnecessary for the party members. Emperor Liu has completely lost patience and trust in the party members, or in other words, he has never had the so-called trust.

Even for Khitan people, Emperor Liu's senses are better.
In the original history, at the beginning of Li Jiqian's rebellion, Song Ting's power in the northwest was still very strong, and Li Jiqian could only make small troubles in Dijinze.It's just that Song Ting's performance was too bad, and he didn't have a unified and resolute strategy for suppressing thieves from beginning to end.

Military strikes first, military strikes are not enough, and then political polarization is still not enough, and economic siege is carried out step by step. It seems that it is step-by-step and steady, but in fact it is changing.

As the emperor Zhao Kuangyi, he also looked forward and backward, while trying to eliminate the rebels, while constantly seeking compromises, his employment was even more lackluster.

Both Tian Zhongjin and Tian Renlang are veterans in the battlefield, especially Tian Renlang, who once drove Li Jiqian to a desperate situation, showing the situation of a cornered beast.But Zhao Kuangyi couldn't sit still in Tokyo, he was impatient, and wanted to order and urge him, so he finally withdrew Tian Renlang and replaced him with Wang Yu.

As for Wang Yu's talent, it has been fully proved in Dahan.What's even more ridiculous is that he actually let Li Jibei go back to Xiazhou, intending to appease Li Jiqian, but in the end, he was fooled into a fool by those two cousins ​​playing Errenzhuan.

Of course, there is a crucial objective condition, that is, Song Ting has a powerful enemy Liao in the north, who has been under tremendous military pressure, which also gave Li Jiqian the opportunity to have a good time between Song and Liao.

Why has the Northern Song Dynasty been criticized and not even considered a unified dynasty? Apart from those irritating policies, Yanyun lacked a piece, the Northwest lacked a piece, and the good Jin'ou was broken and leaking everywhere. How could it not be despised.

However, in the Han Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom had already passed away, and Li Jipeng's entire family was wiped out early. The mistakes that Zhao Kuangyi could make could be completely avoided by Emperor Liu.

It wasn't paid too much attention before, but now, if we really want to exert our strength, it is an all-round attack.Zhao Kuangyi would worry about the influence and pressure of the rebellion of hundreds of thousands of party members, while Emperor Liu wanted to kill hundreds of thousands of party members. Even without considering the disparity in actual conditions, the gap between the two is significant .

"The counter-insurgency in the Northwest is somewhat different from previous operations. This time, we are facing a nation. The methods of combat and the objectives of the combat will all have to be changed!" Emperor Liu gave his final instructions: "However, everything will never change. In fact, victory on the battlefield is fundamental and everything, while marching and fighting is still a matter of money and food. In Yulin, the importance of logistics is even more important! On this point, the imperial court must be fully prepared. Full support!"

Seeing Emperor Liu cast his gaze on him, Han Tong immediately expressed his opinion: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the old minister has urged his subordinates to allocate military supplies according to the military order of the Privy Council. If there is any problem with this matter, the old minister will come and see you!"

Hearing this, Emperor Liu smiled, and said to Shen Yilun, the Secretary of the Household Department who was summoned to listen: "Shen Qing, I will do my best to suppress the military expenses of the thieves!"

"Yes!" Shen Yilun, who was over seventy years old, said calmly and respectfully.The veteran also knew that when the chaos in Yulin was settled down, it would probably be the time for him to retire and return to retirement, so his mind was very peaceful.

Shen Yilun's official career can be said to have officially started with the establishment of the Great Han Dynasty. He was initially an aide to Bai Wenke, and later served as the Mianchi Order, the Governor of Shanzhou, and the prefect of Hezhong. After entering the court, he has been in the financial system. Chief financial officer, but has always been a well-known rationalist.
