In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 543 Your Majesty is in too much trouble
When Li Tingzhi heard this, he turned around and whispered to Cao Shixiong and others: "Did you hear that? From now on, when we garrison troops, the surrounding vegetation must be cleared, and insect repellent herbs should be sprinkled. It is best to clear an isolation zone and burn it with fire to make it safe."

"Wear moth balls with you when you go in and out to prevent insect bites."

At this time, someone asked the doctor, does our army have any medicine to cure miasma?
Of course there is a good doctor. At present, water chestnut and coix seed can be taken. One dose every few days can break the miasma and avoid it.

After the Song army conquered the Malay Peninsula, it was okay to get betel nut, but betel nut was dangerous and it was best not to use it unless other Chinese herbal medicines were missing or insufficient.

In addition, the Song army brought a large amount of realgar and atractylodes this time, which were used for burning and fumigation, and could also break the miasma.

There is still a lot of useful information in the doctor's class. As long as you listen carefully and each battalion implements it carefully, the miasma will not be a threat to the Song Army. Instead, the local people should be careful.

After the doctor finished speaking, he stepped down amidst a round of applause.

At this time, everyone stepped forward and said: "Now we invite Liu Dutou, an outstanding student from the first batch of the Imperial Military Academy of the Song Dynasty, to teach you. Everyone applauds and welcomes you."

Bang bang, there was another burst of applause from below.

Soon a young man stood on the stage.

"What are the characteristics of these places? It's just like what the doctor said just now. The weather is hot, there are many mountains and forests, and there are many mosquitoes."

"I'm just trying to show off my embarrassment in my class."

And there is no shortage of forest resources here. Three-quarters of Borneo Province opposite is covered with forests.

Calling him Dutou now also shows respect.

He looked nineteen, very young.

"My little brother is still in school. In terms of actual combat experience, I can't compare with your elder brothers."

If the armies of various countries hide in the mountains to fight against the Song army, the Song army will use gasoline incendiary bombs to burn everything.

For Zhao Yurui, the most important thing here is the more than 70 million acres of high-quality grain fields in the Red River and Mekong River that can be used to grow three-season rice. All other forest resources can be burned.

"There is another difference between these kingdoms and ours. Local men, women and children can form soldiers."

Their folk customs are relatively fierce, and children under ten years old can shoot people with a bow and crossbow.

"Then take more dogs with you. Be sure to remember to take more dogs with you."

Li Tingzhi and Cao Shixiong's expressions also changed slightly. They didn't expect that this person was quite powerful. They could draw a general picture of Asia with just a casual drawing.

In Angkor in later generations, children under the age of ten could rush around with submachine guns and hide bombs to blow people up. This is no joke.

Liu You was humble for a moment, then straightened his face and began to say: "The countries we are going to fight this time are all subtropical countries. According to His Majesty's current classification, they are called Southeast Asia."

Hahaha, many people below laughed again, but Song Jun often brings dogs with him on expeditions now, and everyone understands that these dogs are useful.

Then Liu You drew a few more circles on the map.

After Liu Dutou took the stage, he looked around and wondered if he saw Li Tingzhi and other senior generals sitting in the back.

"They are all very small. Don't be afraid. It seems that there are quite a lot of countries. Some countries only have tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people, which is not as large as our army."

"This is Champa, this is Annan, this is Dali, this is Angkor, this is the Sukhothai Dynasty - these are the kingdoms we mainly fight."

Therefore, Liu You repeatedly emphasized that you must give priority to ensuring your own safety. Don't go deep into unknown mountains and forests. Use dogs to clear the way. If you encounter mountains with poor visibility, many trees, and hidden enemy troops, burn them directly.

The forest area is larger than the total area of ​​the above kingdoms combined.

Needless to say, Annan, both men and women dared to do it.

"But I still learned a lot about some theoretical knowledge."

"This side is called Malai Island, connected to Sukhumvit. The southern part originally belonged to Srivijaya, but is now occupied by our army. Our army in the south can also go north to support us at any time."

"First of all, we attack in early November to avoid the hot weather and there are fewer mosquitoes."

As Liu You spoke, he turned around and drew a large picture at random, which looked a bit like the panoramic view of Asia.

"Hahaha." The whole crowd burst into laughter.

"So you must not be soft-hearted."

The first batch of students, including the current Liu Dutou, have not graduated and are still in school. He was awarded the title of Deputy Dutou four years after he graduated.

The second thing Liu You emphasized was not to be soft-hearted, but to defeat all forces that dare to resist, and then talk about reconstruction and conquest.

Using a later method, hanging two mothball bags around the dog's neck and belly can also work.

Because it took time to prepare for the establishment of a military academy, a group of students were still recruited in the twelfth year of Yuanzhen. Although the military academy had not been established at that time, they first found a place to attend classes together.

Many of the sergeants in the audience were older than him, and everyone was still a little envious. Of course, as long as the sergeants in the army can read to a certain level, they can apply for the military academy and start as deputy commanders.

"Secondly, bring all the herbs that can ward off insects and detoxify, and a large number of doctors to deal with it in time."

"These people will set up ambushes in the mountains. Dogs are more psychic than people. Dogs' noses can smell places that our telescopes can't see. So we must take more dogs with us and wash them frequently and deworm them."

"Then let's start from these aspects."

"My younger brother Liu You, I would like to pay my respects to all the big men in the army first." Liu Du was still relatively humble, but immediately burst into laughter below.

Zhao Yurui's Imperial Military Academy was prepared in Yuanzhen's eleventh year, and it was originally planned to enroll students in Yuanzhen's fourteenth year.

"Forests are not a common resource here. If necessary, we can directly burn the mountains to prevent the enemy from hiding."

"Many dynasties have tried to conquer them in the past, but it was not easy. They obviously had more population and resources than them, but they often failed in defeat because they were not adapted to their weather, terrain and diseases."

"The place where our Song Dynasty is located is called Asia."

At the end of the sentence, his voice suddenly became much louder: "I know some brothers may think that what I, Xiao Liu, said is too exaggerated, making what you do more cruel."

"But history books will only record His Majesty's cruelty in the future. All conquests and killings were carried out by His Majesty alone."

"You, me, and the generals sitting behind us, we may all be just passers-by in history, and the history books may not even leave a single word of our names."

"But the history books will definitely record what your Majesty did and why he ordered it, because your majesty is willing to bear all the bad reputations, tyrant, cruel, butcher, your majesty is willing to bear it, and your majesty only wants to do one thing well, Protect all brothers as much as possible, let all brothers go home safely, hug their wives and children, and receive the rewards they deserve."

The whole place suddenly fell silent, and many soldiers were moved.

Even Li Tingzhi didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor's plan to kill them would be so beautiful.

"Kill." Cao Shixiong suddenly raised his arms and shouted from behind: "To conquer the world for Your Majesty, I must kill him ruthlessly."

"Kill" the surrounding Song troops roared, and everyone was excited.

The emperor has made it very clear that he will bear the bad reputation. If you do the work, you will get the rewards you deserve.

Li Tingzhi was already considered an upper-middle-class person with high academic qualifications and knowledge in the Song Dynasty. After listening to two classes today, she felt that she had been brainwashed by Zhao Yurui. He was a little unable to control himself and wanted to lead his troops into Annan.

Emperor Zhao Yurui was very good at encouraging people and motivating them to go in and start a massacre, so as to conquer the local area as soon as possible.

This is a common routine used by Mongolians, but Mongolians do not brainwash. Mongolians only want to plunder and conquer.

Zhao Yurui will brainwash, then Song Jun is for honor and belief.

They will know that if they do this, they will be rewarded and recognized by the emperor, and the bad reputation will be shouldered by His Majesty. His Majesty is really embarrassed.

After coming out of the military camp, Li Tingzhi first went to the warehouse to check out the herbs. A doctor accompanied him throughout the process and told him how many kilograms of herbs were transported and what varieties they were.

The main ones are realgar, Cangshu, water chestnut, coix seed, mothballs and oil.

The first two are mainly used for burning, the latter can be taken, and the last one can be carried with you to ensure the safety of sergeants in multiple ways.

A large amount of other trauma medicines and high-grade alcohol for disinfection are also prepared. If the alcohol is not used up, improvised incendiary bombs can be made.

The more Li Tingzhi watched, the more he admired His Majesty the Emperor. Zhao Yurui made a lot of preparations for the start of each battle.

In the past, military books said that before the three armies moved, food and grass were moved first, which was not worth mentioning here in Zhao Yurui's case.

Zhao Yurui had three armies yet to move, so they took the lead in tactics. They had to tell everyone how to fight and what to use, and then all kinds of materials were prepared first, and then it was the turn of grain, grass and other things.

Others may try their best to win, but Zhao and Rui try their best to preserve the survival rate of their own soldiers before deciding to win.

The fewer casualties, of course, the easier it is to win.

If tens of thousands of people were killed or injured in order to win, it would be totally outweighed by the gain.

The death and injury compensation can be used in other aspects to enhance better protection.

You spent an extra thousand guan on herbal medicine and treatment, which may have saved hundreds of deaths, and saved thousands of guan in compensation.

Such a simple truth, few generals have understood it throughout the ages. Even if they understood it, they would not do it. Even if they did it, they would not understand it or do it well.

Zhao Yurui's army is not much different from that of later generations except for weapons.

Li Tingzhi and Li Tingzhi were still very busy that day. They saw various logistical preparations along the way, including weapons, armor, artillery, incendiary bombs, winter clothes and summer clothes, etc.

Considering that the weather in Southeast Asia is hot and the temperature difference between day and night is large, it is somewhat similar to Fujian and Guangdong in the Song Dynasty. It is usually hot during the day and cools down at night, so the Song army has relatively abundant supplies.

The tents of the Song Army were all soaked in some kind of sesame oil. The smell was not irritating to humans, but it could ward off pests.

If you really can't stand the smell, you can only use other methods to repel insects.

At noon, a few people had a temporary meal at a certain camp station, and then continued to the next place.

This time they came to the dog camp.

As the name suggests, this is the dog-raising camp of the Song Army. There are more than two hundred people in the whole camp, only a dozen of them are Song soldiers, and the rest are civilians.

As soon as we entered the camp, we saw all kinds of dogs being led around the camp. The smell of dog shit was overwhelming in the camp, and there were dogs barking everywhere.

Li Tingzhi and Cao Shixiong also looked at each other, and some subordinates even pinched their noses, fearing the smell.

"What are you doing? Does it smell bad?" Cao Shixiong saw one of his subordinates pinching his nose and immediately became angry.

"It can save your life at a critical moment."

The Song army used dogs when they conquered the high officials and Fei Lu soldiers. If there were any ambush in the mountains, the dogs would know it from a long distance away.

"If there is no telescope, or the telescope cannot see anywhere, a dog can detect new people or animals approaching from a hundred steps away. These are of great use." Li Tingzhi said: "Especially at night, dogs are more sensitive and can be used as sentries. ”

Telescopes are useless at night, so what to do is to put the dogs hundreds of steps away from the camp and put out more dog whistles. If someone comes to attack, the dogs will be able to detect them immediately.

Therefore, the Song Army's sentinel cavalry at night is always one person with a dog, in groups of several, either patrolling hundreds of steps away from the camp, or acting as a hidden sentinel.

In the early days, when Song Jun first became a senior official, he wanted any kind of dog. At that time, he had just used dogs and had no experience. Later, he slowly selected and bred new breeds.

Of course it is best to use hunting dogs.

But hunting dogs are not an orthodox breed name. So-called hunting dogs still have to be trained by people.

The Song Army generally selects those with strong legs and ability to run in the mountains for training, and then pairs them with high-quality ones to produce offspring.

After more than ten years of breeding, dogs in the military are now considered hunting dogs, which are more suitable for military use than dogs from ordinary people's homes.

Hainan and Hanzhou are the bases where the Song Army vigorously raises dogs, and there are large bases here.

What Li Tingzhi saw today was just one of the small dog farms.

He asked the person in charge. There were more than 200 people here, raising more than 2,000 dogs in total. On average, each person was responsible for ten dogs.

Of course, there are actually many puppies. This time Li Tingzhi goes to the army, this dog farm will produce 300 adult dogs for them to use.

Cao Shixiong immediately asked a subordinate next to him: "How many military dogs do we have now?"

The subordinate said: "Twenty per battalion in peacetime, and eighty per battalion in wartime."

There are more than 500 people in a battalion of the Song Army. During war, they must be equipped with 100 soldiers. Almost every corps has two soldiers.

Li Tingzhi nodded. It is true that there are so many dogs. Many dogs go to the battlefield and may not come back alive.

Cao Shixiong couldn't hold back at this time: "Does anyone eat dog meat?"

The person in charge of raising dogs across the street suddenly blushed: "We dog owners basically don't eat dog meat."

The implication is that the people in the army are not necessarily the same.

Li Tingzhi and Cao Shixiong had serious faces and did not say anything.

They followed the person in charge and visited the dog farm. The person in charge was insinuating and reminded the two generals from time to time. You must restrain your subordinates. We will give you 300 dogs. You must try to bring them back. Even if there are not 300 dogs, they will There have to be two hundred, right?

Some troops, especially those in the north, are so abominable that if you give them three hundred, they may not have any when they come back and they will all be eaten.

Cao Shixiong wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he could only say calmly: "This time we are fighting in Southeast Asia, all are southern soldiers, southern soldiers."

Meaning, don’t eat dogs much.

Behind Cao Shixiong, two southern soldiers looked at each other, who were they looking down on? We southern soldiers prefer to eat dog meat.

The two generals quickly left the dog camp. After they came out, Li Tingzhi immediately said to Cao Shixiong: "Military dogs help us fight and are also our friends. You have to restrain those bastards. If you don't eat dog meat at all, I will serve you with a military stick." ”
