Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 510 The situation is actually not that bad

"What the hell! The grandson of the system is too stupid, what kind of shit is this third-stage task called~"

Hu Biao, who was biting his back molars, cursed a little indignantly in his mouth.

What made him have such a strong reaction now was all because of the system's sudden, urgent third-stage mission.

One must know that half an hour ago, he was still in the luxurious back garden of Hu Mansion, preparing a bunch of chicken wings, beef, pork belly, etc.

I'm going to make an appointment with a young lady from a certain family who is waiting in the boudoir, and come to a Northern Song version of a self-service barbecue together.

He wasn't prepared for what to do with each other, but having a barbecue together didn't have any impact.

As a result, the sound of the system sounded and the relevant content was heard.

He knew one thing clearly: in this mission world, he might not have the time and mood to come to such a barbecue.

There is no mood until the task is completed.

By the time the task was completed, they had been teleported back.

In the following time, Hu Biao rode a Jurchen horse because he was raised in captivity and was often fed fine feed such as black beans.

So relatively speaking, the more majestic war horses quickly rushed towards the Privy Council.

After arriving at the place, I found that almost all the netizens in Kaifeng City are here now; even Xu Feng, a buddy, was sent by the guards in a carriage.

Seeing that everyone is here, there is no need to say more about the rest.

Of course it's an old rule, everyone should sit down and have a meeting together to discuss how to deal with these shitty things.

It's just that after they all sat down, it was obvious that everyone still hadn't fully reacted to this unexpected third-stage mission.

For a while, you looked at me, I looked at you, and there were some looking at each other, all of them didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Hu Biao burst out the first swear word in his mouth.

Swearing at the street is all about swearing at the street, Hu Biao actually knows that he is the commander of a team, and the top military officer of the highest military institution such as the Privy Council of the Great Song Dynasty.

Just complaining and cursing are useless.

We must find a way to increase everyone's confidence and morale, give full play to their subjective initiative, and work out some proper plans by working together.

So in the following time, after he took a deep breath, he forced himself into the state.

First of all, facing the singer, the Xichangchanggong who is in charge of foreign intelligence, asked: "Gechanggong, what's the latest situation on Jinren's side?"

Although in the last few days, the singer spent most of his time recuperating, but for some key tasks, this little brother is still not behind.

After facing Hu Biao's question, he answered without stuttering:

"According to our West Factory, we adopted the news delivered by Feige Chuanshu and Kuaima.

The Jin people who fled in Zhuxian Town gave up Luoyang and crossed the river yesterday after resting in Luoyang for a day or two and returned to the north; now there are no Jin people in the south of the Yellow River.

The West Route Army that the Jin people withdrew was led by Wanyan Saliyao and Wanyan Hunchu, the two Jurchen commanders, and there were a total of 4000 people under their command.

Among them, there are less than 2 Jurchens.

In addition, outside the city of Xiangzhou, the West Route Army of Wanyan Jiamu, who was confronting the Yue Family Army, felt that the situation was not good, and secretly ran away three days ago; there were only 6000 Jurchens in his army. about. "

After hearing such a statement, Hu Biao was obviously surprised at first.

The main reason is that they are surprised that there are still more than 7 people in the group of defeated troops from the West Route Army who fled in Zhuxian Town.

Because the golden soldiers who fought fiercely with them in Zhuxian Town had only about 31 troops at first; their number of kills and prisoners was almost 29.

Logically speaking, shouldn't only 2 people run away?

But after thinking about it carefully, the data given by the singer should be correct.

According to post-war statistics, among the golden soldiers they killed and captured, tens of thousands of them were originally from Luoyang, Dengfeng and other local tycoons who surrendered to the Jin soldiers.

Thinking of this, I don't think it's strange.

It was nothing more than fighting to the back. Because of the heavy casualties, the commanders such as Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan also filled the battlefield with these soldiers who were only used as logistics.

Therefore, the total strength of the Jinbing side in Zhuxian Town should have reached 36 to [-].

But in this way, Jin Bing's East and West Route Army add up, and there are still almost 10 people who fled back.

In addition, Wanyan Zongbi who returned early, Tiefutu under him, and the power that the Jurchens could mobilize with all their strength in the future.

When they formally launched the Northern Expedition, they were still able to forge a large army.

If Hu Biao and the others had enough time, the above would not be a problem at all.

For them, it was just more captives to deal with.

The crux of the problem is, don't they know that now they don't have enough time to form enough new troops to form an overwhelming advantage.

Forcibly suppressing the anxiety in his heart caused by the above-mentioned things; Hu Biao, a deadly commander, began to actively analyze it for everyone.

Specifically, it is some of the advantages they currently have.

Trying to let everyone understand that although the third phase of the task is difficult, they are not hopeless.

Results?In the constant analysis in his mouth, he actually succeeded in raising the hearts of himself and other netizens...

******
After coughing twice with a 'cough~', which attracted everyone's attention.

Hu Biao started to be serious, and encouraged everyone:
"Brothers, don't be so depressed. In fact, thinking about it carefully, we are not completely without advantages, and this mission is not completely hopeless.

Today is October 21st, and there are still four months and nine days before the end of the mission.

Counting the time it takes to go to Yanjing in the north, and the time reserved for combat, we still have three months, which can be used for recruiting, training, and forming an army.

At first glance, the time is indeed a bit rushed.

But think about it carefully, everyone. Counting the wounded who can re-enter the army after their injuries have healed, we should still have [-] veterans and officers.

These veterans and officers who have been on the battlefield and experienced bloody battles are our greatest wealth at present.

With their help and leadership, becoming the backbone of the new army should allow a larger new army to be formed quickly. The key is that the overall combat effectiveness will not be reduced much.

So I decided to recruit troops on a large scale starting tomorrow, and eventually form a new army of at least 10 people. "

After hearing Hu Biao's statement, everyone had to admit that there was some truth to it after thinking about it seriously.

A new army of 10 may seem like a lot, but it's just one veteran with two recruits. Such a configuration can indeed make a rookie grow up quickly.

And the 10-strong new army is already a very powerful force.

But soon after, Er Fatty asked another very crucial question about the formation of such a new army:

"The new army of 10 people, can we keep up with the equipment? We must know that in the battle of Zhuxian Town, we suffered a lot of losses in muskets and artillery.

The muskets are slightly better, but there are still nearly 1 of them in battle, which were damaged for various reasons.

The situation in terms of artillery is even worse, because the cooling method that has to be poured with cold water during the battle, almost all the barrels of Napoleon's field guns are now hidden dangers.

There is not even a flaw detector these days, and it is impossible to check the damage inside the gun barrel.

So, do you dare to continue to use these things that will be bombed at any time?If you really want to use it forcibly, isn't this murder? "

Facing such a question, Lang Qing and Wu Zu from the Ministry of Industry gave professional answers respectively.

Lang Qing: "As far as artillery is concerned, it is indeed a big problem; those Napoleon cannons should not be used, otherwise it is really tantamount to murder.

According to Jomini's theory, a new army of 10 people should be equipped with four artillery pieces according to the standard of 1000 people, so 400 artillery pieces need to be equipped.

Frankly speaking, with such a large number of artillery pieces, our Ministry of Industry is under great pressure on production capacity.

But it is not hopeless, because in the recent period of time, we have overcome the difficulty of casting all-steel barrel artillery.

Therefore, there is no problem of insufficient copper materials, but the construction period is a little tight.

However, we are rushing to work day and night, even if we can't meet all of them, we should be able to achieve [-]% to [-]% of the output; plus the original small Frang cannon, it should be enough~"

The statement in Lang Qing's mouth was the end, and Wu Zu also began to speak:
"As for muskets, because the workers are more skilled, the rate of good products has been greatly increased, so within three months, [-] long and short muskets should be produced.

As for the armor and other cold weapons, this thing is not a problem at all,"

Hearing the words of the two people from the Ministry of Industry, it is basically certain that they can be solved. After the key problem of the new army's equipment, the morale of everyone has obviously improved.

joke!In such an era of cold weapons, if there are [-] firearms troops in hand.

Even the most primitive muskets and artillery, as long as the logistics are guaranteed, there is nowhere to go in the world.

But even so, after Hu Biao's thinking was dissipated, he thought of some other exciting news, and added another sentence:
"Brothers, there are actually some better situations.

The so-called admiration after three days, now we are no longer in the eyes of other people in the Song Dynasty, those unlucky ones who are destined to die in the hands of the Jin people who defeated the Song army.

But in their eyes, some big celebrities who want to win the world.

Otherwise, do you think that those bureaucrats, aristocratic families, and powerful people from all over the Song Dynasty would eagerly send their own delicate daughters over to marry us thieves?

In addition, the Imperial Concubine Business Department, these two days should be more lively than before, right?

So, simply tell them, whether they want to take advantage of us, or to gain a better status in the Song court, or even just want us not to settle accounts later.

Don't make any foolish stuff, just show your sincerity.

Lao Tzu is now blowing the whistle to call people, so in the process of this time the Great Song Dynasty cut gold, everyone who has money will contribute money and strength to me.

Troops, supplies, mules and horses, all of these were sent to me.

As long as the Northern Expedition is successful, everything will be easy to talk about in the future. If it affects the big event of Lao Tzu's Northern Expedition, do they think our new army's bayonet is not good? "

The above-mentioned passage made Hu Biao roar when he said the latter part.

The whole person is full of indescribable arrogance, that kind of look like a tiger staring at an eagle when he speaks, very much like a treacherous official with power over the world, a living Cao Cao, with a sound and posture when he falls to the ground.

So much so that the imperial concubine, under the admiration in her heart, wanted to give her a thumbs up on the spot.

But after thinking about it for a while, I directly put my hands on the top of my head, making a big comparison; don't say it!This little girl is quite playful and pretty when she makes such a move...

After some in-depth explanations, analysis from multiple aspects, cheering, and encouragement, everyone's spirits and spirits were finally lifted.

Then they, who were also emanating their thoughts, took advantage of their more flexible brains, and naturally spoke enthusiastically one after another.

Finally, after some discussions among the people, some action plans were formed.

Specifically, such a plan probably looks like this.

First, Hu Biao will go to the palace to see Empress Maode, no matter what, he must get the support of the other party, and finalize the matter of sending troops to the Northern Expedition in early February.

Then starting tomorrow, hurry up and form a new army with a total of 13 people.

These new armies are planned to be organized into eight infantry divisions, two field artillery divisions, one rocket launcher division, and two cavalry divisions; each of the above divisions has a total size of 1 people.

In addition, in addition to the new army, it is also planned to form two old-fashioned volunteers with 1 people.

The formation of these two volunteers was because everyone considered that in the great Song Dynasty, there were actually many people who were proficient in bows and horses and strong in martial arts.

The existence of Yang Zaixing, Yue Fei, Niu Gao and others is the best proof.

In the past, if Hu Shumi envoy issued an official recruitment document, it is estimated that few people would come to take refuge in a broken ship like them, which is a bit unrealistic.

But now the situation is completely different, Hu Yitong, Hu Gong and his new army, this is a huge ship that is about to set sail.

The old saying goes well: if you learn martial arts, you can sell it to the emperor's family; in the current situation of the Song Dynasty court, it is almost the same to sell it to Hu Shumishi.

Presumably there are folk masters who are willing to join the army in exchange for a background.

Based on the skills of these people, the formation line used to form the musketeers is somewhat uneconomical, so the two volunteer divisions who are more inclined to fight with old-fashioned cold weapons and fight in melee, began to form based on this purpose.

All in all, Hu Biao planned to form fifteen divisions this time, with a total strength of 15 troops.

Second, taking into account that most of the remaining adult men in Kaifeng City have devoted themselves to industry and commerce, and the remaining small number of people have also devoted themselves to the cause of farming.

Therefore, except for the two volunteers, they are openly recruited for the entire Song Dynasty.

There are about 5000 recruits left, and Hu Biao and the others are all planning to go to the surrounding areas to recruit.

Moreover, such a recruitment period is very short, only half a month at most; the reason is very simple, if it is delayed, it will be too late for training.

Thirdly, the noble concubine of the Commerce Department will start buying all kinds of combat materials with all her strength from tomorrow.

When hundreds of types of materials such as food, cloth, ore, and medicinal materials are involved, they are written out on a list.

Looking at the astronomical numbers above, the girl almost went crazy on the spot.

Lang Qing and Wu Zu of the Ministry of Industry need to produce all kinds of equipment with all their strength.

In addition, if possible, some weapons should be improved.

Among other things, it is necessary to get out the ignition devices of grenades, explosives, and these things; otherwise, it was proved in the battle of Zhuxian Town that this method of ignition is too troublesome and a bit of a waste of time.

Jinyiwei, East Factory, and West Factory are doing their best to do a good job in intelligence work inside and outside.

It also included contact with the Yanshan area, Feng Rui, A Li, and Zhan Xiang, and agreed on a coordinated action after the Northern Expedition started.

As for the remaining netizens, it seems that there are not many left after such a score.

Don't even think about being idle, they all have to devote themselves to the formation and training of the new army.

Fourth, because they will leave this mission world in more than four months, so some follow-up finishing work will start.

Included in it is that they will no longer serve as military officers in the new army this time.

Even when commanding the army, Yue Fei, Ma Kuo and others should be brought along to command together, lest they leave rashly and cause chaos in the new army.

Based on the same principle, the Song court should make good arrangements.

The various departments of the imperial court where they belong should also cultivate a deputy from this world, and gradually let him control the power of the department, so as to complete the smooth transition of power in the future.

They also need to arrange and deal with their crappy things such as selling officials and titles, importing salt, establishing local separatist regimes, and engaging in feudal superstition.

In addition to the above, there are also a large amount of technical information, policies and systems, etc., which also need to be written out and preserved one by one.

Even places like Australia and North and South America these days have not been discovered and occupied by the West.

If they don't make arrangements in advance to let the business of Da Song Dahang start, they may be a little embarrassed to go out to meet people after returning to the modern plane.

In short, this alone has an astonishing workload, and I don't know how many brain cells will be consumed.

As for some specific combat plans during the future Northern Expedition, there are also issues such as how to allocate troops in the face of the threat of the Xixia people, and who will fight the iron kite.

So far, everyone has not discussed it in detail, and everything depends on the follow-up development.

correct!Another point is that the war with the Jinren just ended, and they are going to form a large army for the Northern Expedition.

How to publicize and explain to Queen Maude and the outside world.

Of course, it is "it is advisable to be brave enough to chase the poor, not to be famous and learn to be the overlord".

Let Fatty Huang, the factory owner of Xichang, publicize in the newspaper that the Jin people and Xixia people have united, and they plan to regroup and attack the Song Dynasty again.

Therefore, it is reasonable to go straight to Huanglong while the Jinren have not recovered their vitality.

In short, all the right to interpret this Northern Expedition belongs to the Prime Minister of Song Dynasty (he was promoted again), the privy envoy, Qin Guogong Hu Biao, Hu Yitong, and his party members...
