Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 216 Battlefield Records
In Pinglu County, Wang Xiaolie read the official documents sent by Shao Ling and Zhang Jun, and couldn't help being overjoyed.He said to Chen Yuyi: "The craftsmen captured by the Jin army from West Jing Road two years ago are indeed still in Xiezhou and Jiangzhou. If you get these people, the battle in Shanzhou will be worth it!"

Chen Yuyi said: "The Jin people have the habits of barbarians, there is a lack of craftsmen in the country, and these people are regarded as treasures. There is no shortage of these in this dynasty—"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Counselor, these people have at least two roles in our hands. The first is that everything in Dengzhou and Xiangyang is just beginning, and there is also a lack of craftsmen. More importantly, the craftsmen have come to us. In his hands, the golden man can no longer use it!"

Chen Yuyi thought for a moment, then nodded.In fact, for the Song Dynasty, there was no shortage of craftsmen.Even if there is only half of the wall left, the number of people is still enough.But it's different for gold people.Without these craftsmen, the development of Jinren would be limited.Of course, for Wang Xiaolie, these craftsmen are very precious wealth.There was no shortage of craftsmen in the Song Dynasty, which does not mean that Wang Xiaolie had no shortage.After all, Dengzhou and Xiangyang were far away from the imperial court, and their talents were relatively scarce.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xiaolie said: "Niu Gao arrived yesterday, and he is organizing the signing of the army with Yang Shen, ready to be transported to Dengzhou. Since Jiezhou and Jiangzhou have these craftsmen, it is better to make a big one. Let Yang Shen The trial organization transported the signing army, and Niu Gao went to send all the people in Jiezhou and Jiangzhou, including craftsmen, to Dengzhou. There are no people in these two prefectures. If the Jin people attack Shanzhou in autumn, they can only come from Henan. .”

Wang Xiaolie broke the siege of Shanzhou, and Zhai Xing led his army northward and occupied Luoyang City.However, Wang Xiaolie has no confidence in Zhai Xing, and it will be difficult for him to defend the Jin army when they come again in autumn.According to Wang Xiaolie's meaning, it is better to take advantage of the spring and move all the people in Henan Prefecture, Mengzhou, and Zhengzhou to the south.In this way, a no-man's land is formed along the Yellow River, separated from the forces of the Jin army.

Although the Jin army broke through Kaifeng, they did not have the confidence to occupy the Central Plains.According to the plan of the Jin army, the land north of the Yellow River was assigned to the Jin Dynasty, and the land south of the Yellow River was established as a puppet regime.The large-scale southward invasion in the past two years, one is robbery, and the other is to catch Zhao Gou.

Chen Yuyi said: "Observe, this dynasty has hundreds of thousands of troops in Shaanxi. If we fight a decisive battle with the Jin army, the outcome is uncertain. Move the people south and make this area a white land. If we win, it will be troublesome in the future."

"What's the trouble? As long as you defeat the Jinren, these are trivial matters!" Wang Xiaolie stood up and looked out the window. "As the saying goes, if you can't bear it, you can make big plans. What is the most important thing now? It is to win the battle! We must drive away the Jin army and restore the Central Plains! The enemy cannot be defeated on the battlefield, and everything else is just fantasy! Everything you do must be useful to the war!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Xiaolie turned around, looked at Chen Yuyi and said, "There are still many people who have illusions about the military power of the imperial court. They always think that it is their luck that the Jin people broke Kaifeng and burned the Central Plains. There are even rumors that, The appearance of the Emperor Jin is absolutely similar to that of the Taizu. The Jin army went south to the Central Plains. It was the Taizu who was not angry with the Taizong and took over the world. These words are just gossips for ordinary people, so don’t worry about him. But we are different and can’t think like this. Now we must understand that in military affairs, the Jin army has an absolute advantage. It is not because the Jin people are born capable of fighting. It is a lie that the Jurchens are not satisfied with ten thousand and invincible! The Jin people have the advantage because of the dynasty The army is too weak! If you don’t understand this and don’t make corresponding changes, you won’t be able to gain military superiority over the Jinren. Without military superiority, you can only beg for peace! Such a peaceful Jinren can give the dynasty , you can take it away at any time! This great country in the Central Plains has reached such a point, how sad it is!"

Chen Yuyi lowered his head.Wang Xiaolie was right. At this time, including Chen Yuyi, they still had fantasies about the Song Dynasty army.It is believed that the Jin Dynasty was able to occupy Kaifeng Mansion and defeat the Song Dynasty army because of a lot of luck.The defeat of the Song Dynasty was due to the treacherous ministers in power and improper governance.

how can that be possible?The Jin Dynasty did not defeat the Song Dynasty for a while, but first destroyed the Liao Dynasty and then the Northern Song Dynasty.When the Liao Dynasty was in power, the Song Dynasty army was not their opponent. How could they resist the stronger Jin Dynasty?

The city of Kaifeng was broken, and a large number of courtiers of the Song Dynasty were taken north by the Jin army along with the second emperor.Many people were not angry, and there were many opinions.For example, the Jin people were short of troops, less than 10 when they attacked Kaifeng Mansion.If the Song Dynasty commanded properly, it would not be impossible to destroy the main force of the Jin army.For example, when the Western Army participated in the war, due to insufficient food and wages, its combat effectiveness declined, otherwise it would not be defeated.There are many such statements.

These claims are not credible.The Jin army's large-scale southward movement should have an absolute military advantage.The military system and military strength of the Song Dynasty made it far weaker than the Jin Dynasty militarily.

Military strength needs the support of national strength, and strong national strength can be transformed into strong military strength. There is nothing wrong with that.Before the war, the national strength of the Song Dynasty should be stronger than that of the Jin Dynasty, whether it is economically or politically.However, it is also true that strong national power may not necessarily translate into strong military power.If not, there would still be so many wars in the world.

The most obvious example is Europe in later generations.If there is no United States, those powerful countries in Europe such as Britain, France, Germany, Italy, etc., are stronger than Russia in terms of national strength, but which one dares to say that they are also stronger than Russia in military affairs?Without the United States, who would dare to say no to Russia?
When the Song Dynasty was founded, the imperial army was very strong.But even at that time, there was no advantage over Khitan.Later, the imperial army rotted day by day, and the Khitan became stronger day by day, and the Song Dynasty was at a disadvantage militarily.

In this era, it is necessary to understand the advantages of the Jin Dynasty in military affairs and the disadvantages of the Song Dynasty.You must also understand what kind of changes you have to make in order to gain military advantages.Build your strategy on this basis.How to prevent the Jin Dynasty in the early stage, how to fight in the later stage, and how to regain lost ground in the end.Just like during the War of Resistance Against Japan, the great man proposed a protracted war with a clear strategic plan.

Jin Jun's advantage is obvious.They are particularly able to endure hardships, especially able to attack difficulties, have strong mobility, have a large number of servants, and have a strong will to fight.Song Jun's disadvantages are also obvious.Soldiers can't bear hardships, their will to fight is not firm, their command system is not perfect, and they often act in their own way.In order to prevent military rebellion, the command system is complicated and chaotic, and the army cannot form a joint force.All kinds.

How to deal with it?The organizational structure and command of the original army must be re-started.Select talents and train the army strictly.To form a unified command, generals at all levels must be determined to execute combat orders.This is the main purpose of Wang Xiao's training in Xinye.

The national power of the Song Dynasty can support the army. The armor is better than the Jin army, the weapons are more powerful, and the soldiers are in better physical condition.The fighting power is stronger than the Jin army, and it should be.

Wang Xiaolie assisted Shanzhou with less than 2 people and quickly defeated the Jin army.The primary reason, of course, is because of Shanzhou's tenacity, which made the Jin army's arrangement flawed.The second reason, of course, is that the army can fight.With an army of 30 in hand, Wang Xiaolie can run amok all the way.If you have 50, you can command the world.In this era, too many troops cannot be concentrated in one direction, and [-] million is the limit.

Jin Jun's estimate of his own strength is correct.With the Yellow River as the boundary, the north is gold, and the south is just a puppet regime.Because the Jin army's soldiers are still strong when they reach the bank of the Yellow River, all resistance north of the Yellow River can be suppressed.With the support of the Jin Dynasty, a puppet regime was established to separate it from the Song Dynasty, and slowly digest the land obtained.In a generation or two, the rule can be stabilized.

It is very dangerous for the Jin army to attack Jiangnan now.No matter how weak the Song Dynasty was, no matter how powerful the Jin army was, it was not enough to form a stable rule.The occupied land must be abandoned, otherwise the army may not be able to return.At the end of the so-called crossbow, it is impossible to penetrate Lu Jin.

The problem was in the Song Dynasty.Before the Jin army can sweep the world, use this opportunity to reorganize the army and compete with the Jin army in the Central Plains.In terms of national strength, the Song Dynasty still had an advantage, and everything was promising to turn the advantage in national strength into a military advantage.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaolie could only shake his head.Historically, Zhao Gou was not keen on restoring the Central Plains, but cared more about stabilizing his rule.He did not take advantage of this favorable opportunity to reorganize the army, but was only satisfied with the southeast.

In fact, it is not only Zhao Gou, but also the later Nanming.He does not have a clear understanding of the world and his own army.Let the opportunities keep slipping away, and finally die and the country perish.

Seeing Chen Yuyi standing aside and not speaking, Wang Xiaolie's mood gradually calmed down.I look at the present with the eyes of future generations, and many things can be seen clearly.For people in this era, they are in a chess game, and many things are difficult to see clearly.

Wang Xiaolie said: "These days, you and your scribes will be scattered among various armies, including Li Guan's army. Ask them how they fight, and how the Jin army on the opposite side fights. What did you encounter? What kind of difficulties are you facing, and what measures are you taking? Ask about everything carefully. For our army, this battle is a rare teaching material. After returning to Xinye, there will be a reorganization of the army. That's what you've written down. It's what an army needs to grow quickly, and it can't just be fought in the field."

Chen Yuyi promised.These days, scholars brought from Dengzhou also participated in the battle.They witnessed the victory with their own eyes, and saw the overwhelming momentum after the arrival of Dengzhou's army.Now they need to sink down and listen to the thoughts of the frontline soldiers.

The fastest growth of the army is naturally in war.But an army cannot rely on war alone.What if there is no war?It is necessary to sum up experience and lessons as much as possible and make them into teaching materials to teach more talents.
