Water Margin farming to become powerful

A few days later, not only Tong Guan, but even Sun Xin was dumbfounded when he knew that his brother had done such a big thing in Lei Ze County, and then he was surprised.

Although he had long thought that once the war broke out on the Shandong front line, a large number of the assets of the supervisory committee would be coveted by Tong Guan, so Sun Xin had deliberately selected the industrial investment in those counties and counties on the Shandong front line before, and he would never put too advanced However, even if the production capacity is backward, those machines are still several grades higher than all the manufacturing production machines that Da Song currently owns. Once they are sent back to Da Song to go to the supervisory committee, the technological advantages they have mastered will also be damaged. .

So long before his elder brother acted, Sun Xin had already made arrangements for the Lei Ze line. The arrangement he made was not to send people directly to Lei Ze County to burn temples, if it wasn't for his elder brother's actions, Sun Xin I didn't even know that with this method, all the machines collected by Tong Guan could be burned down.

His previous plan was to control the waterway of the Lei Ze Line so that Tong Guan's things could not be transported out, and he had already started to take action, but his brother did such a thing, which really solved one of his deepest worries.

After Sun Xin got the news in Dongping Mansion, he was happy for a long time, but Tong Guan, who also got the news at this time, was dumbfounded.

The news from Lei Ze County is just one of the many bad news that Tong Guan has received recently, and now Tong Guan has already hit the city of Shouzhang County.

He directly gave up his attack on Yuncheng.

Across Liangshanbo, Tong Guan originally planned that his [-] troops should attack Dongping Mansion from Shouzhang and Yuncheng, but now he has no such way at all.

The reason came out that Yuncheng County was also high and difficult to defend, and more importantly, he found that his [-] soldiers were struggling to fight under the heavily defended Shouzhang County.

This difficulty does not come from the strength of the troops. There are still 10 people, even if it is slowly worn down. The fall of Shouzhang County is only a matter of time. These armed forces did not attack his army itself, but frantically harassed his grain roads.

Originally, Tong Guan thought that he sent [-] troops to protect food, which was already a lot. After all, his [-] soldiers were soldiers, and the civilian men he was equipped with should all be conscripted locally in Shandong, but the actual situation was different from the previous plan to enter Shandong. completely different.

Because the Supervisory Committee has controlled the local area in Shandong to a degree that Tong Guan could not have imagined before.

Tong Guan indeed recruited a lot of civilian husbands to help them transport food at the beginning, but Song Jun soon discovered that almost all of these civilian husbands had connections with the supervisory committee.

Escaping was the easiest thing. Once ordered by the supervisory board, these peasants would take the opportunity to snatch the Song army's food, and even directly poison the food or burn the food and grass.

This made Song Jun dumbfounded. In their past impressions, food was the most precious asset of the people, even if it was someone else's food, they would not be willing to waste it.

What's more, the grain transported by these peasants is often just expropriated from their warehouses. These Song soldiers never imagined that these farmers would burn all the grain they grew under the call of the supervisory committee. .

According to Song Jun’s report below, those farmers were crying while burning the grain, but they still gritted their teeth and set the fire, and after burning the grain, they looked at Song Jun’s eyes even more resentfully, as if the grain was to resist Song Jun And burned, this kind of scene is almost unheard of.

Up to now, the Song Army has no longer dared to enlist too many civilian husbands, because as long as the number of civilian husbands is as large as the number of escorts, they will most likely contact the nearby Supervisory Committee to attack the Song Army with armed forces. This kind of thing has already happened. several times.

In order to ensure the grain and grass, the originally planned more than 1 Song troops were not enough. Tong Guan has now sent 3 people to transport grain to barely ensure the smooth flow of grain roads.

Transporting grain by land was painful, and traveling by water was even more impossible.

It was only after Tong Guan entered Shandong that he realized how powerful the supervisory committee's water army was. If he wanted to conscript fishermen on the water to transport food, he couldn't do so. Almost all the fishermen in Shandong were hardcore members of the supervisory committee.

Long before the Song Army arrived, they had already rowed out of the original fishing village. Even if there were a few households that did not evacuate, the fishermen who saw the Song Army coming all swung their boats into the river and left.

Fishermen who are familiar with the waterway net the river, how can the Song army catch them?

At first, Tong Guan could only find a way to send sailors and fishermen from other places in the Song Dynasty to restore the grain road on the water, but at this time the supervisory committee sent gunboats to greet him.

The small gunboats of the Supervisory Committee equipped with tens of thousands of enemies are almost invincible on the river. If they are close to aim at the ships of the Song Army, they will shoot them. He doesn't care whether they hit people or not. The ship sank.

The sailors and fishermen on the boat can naturally swim to the surface of the river to survive, but it is extremely difficult to fish out the grain in the boat after it sinks to the bottom.

At the beginning, the sailors of the Song Army bravely fought against the sailors of the Supervisory Committee, but as soon as the opponent's lineup with full firepower came out, the sailors of the Song Army found that the method of digging boats and setting fires they used in water battles in the past could not save them at all. As a result, they were no match for the Supervisory Council's navy at all above the river.

After more than ten days of tossing like this, the supervisory committee's navy from the lower reaches of the river was also annoyed, and went directly to the west bank of the Yellow River Grand Canal. When they landed, they set fire to the large number of ships that the Song army was preparing to transport grain. Burn all the fire, and the Song army's idea of ​​transporting food by water surface was eliminated.

The supply of food roads is not smooth, so a large number of people can only be dispatched to ensure land transportation. The direct result is that the number of Song troops who can be used to fight against the supervisory committee is only more than 7.

To this extent, the most painful thing for Tong Guan is that Zhao Ji is urging him to get the results of the battle almost at the speed of one letter a day.

For the court of the Song Dynasty, Tong Guan's combat efficiency was also unbearable.

The soldiers had been setting off for almost two months, but they had only captured a few county towns and consumed a lot of food and grass. Not only had they not captured a single state capital, they had not even touched the edge of Dongping.

This kind of victory is really different from the way the common people responded when Tong Guan entered the south of the Yangtze River to attack Fang La.

At this time, even Zhao Ji could feel the difference between the Supervisory Committee and Fang La.

However, he had already sent a message above the court to destroy the supervisory council, and now that the state machine was in operation, he hadn't even gotten a result yet.

For Zhao Ji, who had already determined to revitalize martial arts in the Northern Expedition and regain his homeland, there was not even a step to retreat, so he had to confide all his pressure to Tong Guan. (end of this chapter)
