Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 487 The general trend of the world
With the return of the army, came a shocking news.

Of course, this is highly confidential information obtained from people close to Zhao Guan's family.

Because of the defeat of the Xixia Army, it was temporarily useless to pose a threat to Song Dynasty.

The imperial court plans to recruit 11 Western Army, [-] Daming Prefecture Army, and [-] Zhending Prefecture Frontier Army, totaling [-] troops.It is time to join forces with Jin to destroy Liao.

The Kingdom of Jin is a country of tigers and wolves, and the court of the Great Song Dynasty saw it clearly, why did it unite with the Kingdom of Jin to exterminate the Kingdom of Liao.

It is because the hatred between Song and Liao is too deep. They fought from the very beginning, and they have hated each other for a hundred years.

Zhu Wu said: "It seems that the army will be mobilized in autumn at the latest, and the deadline for the Liao Kingdom has come."

Wu Yong shook his head: "Otherwise, the problem here has not been resolved."

Wu Yong pointed to Jiangnan, where Fangla occupies half of Jiangnan, where rice is fragrant and fish and shrimp are abundant.

"You mean that if you want to fight the Liao Kingdom, Jiangnan must be pacified. Although the disease of scabies in Fangla in the south of the Yangtze River looks mighty, it is vain. It doesn't take much effort to destroy Fangla with the strength of the court. The local army and the court in the south of the Yangtze River The army will be wiped out within a few months."

Wu Yong said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu is right. Fang La's army is just a grassroots bandit. The weapons and equipment are outdated, and the soldiers lack training. The weapons and armor are not complete. If Fang La can get the ordinary weapons of our Cangzhou Army, he will be able to draw with the imperial court." .”

Chai Lin was thinking about Fang La while listening to the two military advisers chatting.Fang La has a relatively large number of people, but he started out with religion, so it is not easy to conquer.

At this time, Liu Zhuang came in and said, "General, the shopkeeper Li Yun is here and said he has something important to report."

Although Li Yun is not a member of the army, but he controls the largest fleet of Cangzhou Shisanhang, not counting other things, there are more than 40 Fuchuan and Galen ships, and these ships are all steam engines and sails. dynamic.

Chailin said, "Let him come in."

Zhu Wu and Wu Yong looked at it and stopped talking about confidential topics.

Li Yun came in, first saluted Chai Lin, and then saluted the two military advisers.

"General, I received a strange order the day before yesterday. It was originally planned to be delivered today, but I stopped it again."

"Oh, what's strange. Shopkeeper Li, tell me."

"This is an order from a merchant in Fujian. They ordered [-] sugarcane knives. The blades are not very conspicuous with a length of more than one foot, but they asked to replace the solid wood handles with knife barrels. This small change can Turn a one-foot-long sugar cane knife into a long knife. In addition, I searched and sent a batch of [-] wide-bladed logging axes a month ago. I only need the axe, and I don’t need a wooden handle. Because I am a customer from Fujian, I don’t care .”

"Customer from Fujian, interesting. Fang La Fang La is here. Although the quality of these civilian irons is poor, they are better than those made by ordinary blacksmiths. Two military advisers, this batch of goods is still not shipped." Chailin laughed.

Zhu Wu said: "I have seen the sugarcane knives on Qinzhou Road, and the handle can indeed be extended. Logging axes and sugarcane knives are very popular in the mountainous areas of the south. I can't suspect that they are made by Fang Lading because of the large quantity. How about this , Asking for extra money on the grounds of government control, if it is a real merchant, it will definitely not increase the money, if it is purchased by Fang Lajun, it will not care about the extra money."

Chai Lin nodded, this is a good way, just try it out.

Li Yun said: "Then it should be certain, because the other party said that the price is not an issue, the important thing is that the delivery should be fast."

"Give it to him, then give it to them at the normal price. Sugarcane knives, civilian supplies, we can't lose our credit, and deliver the goods as soon as possible." Chailin arranged.

"Okay." Li Yun left.

"At most, it can only delay their perishing time." Zhu Wu sighed.

"Let's immigrate to the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible. At this time, wars are raging and the people are in dire straits. We immigrate the Jiangnan people who are good at planting rice to Kuye Island, Yangma Island, and Ryukyu Island to grow rice. We really want to wait for life to be stable. I begged others, but there is no way." People go." Wu Yong suggested.

This is really the truth. People in the Central Plains pay attention to the difficulty of leaving their homeland. If it is not a last resort, who would want to leave their homeland.

Chai Lin immediately issued an order to arrange for the large fleet of Cangzhou Shisanhang to pass through the local trading firm and start recruiting craftsmen and young men.Immigrants under the guise of recruiting workers.

Fearing that Fang La's forces would cause trouble, armed escorts were carried out, and the young men recruited in the same place were diverted.For example, a county recruits 500 people, 500 people from Ryukyu Island, 500 people from raising horses, and 500 people from Dead Leaf Island.

The southerners who are good at growing rice and the northerners who are good at growing sweet potatoes and corn are integrated and learn farming techniques from each other, and the progress is still very fast.

For example, southerners are good at using buffaloes to cultivate land, and manage them with ease.But northerners are better at using mules to cultivate land, and both sides have their own characteristics.

In production and life, we communicate with each other and learn from each other, which makes the rice yield higher.

In particular, the rice in Kuye Island can only be produced for one season, but the fertile black soil is extremely fertile. The rice produced is very high-end and tastes very delicious, far better than the rice in Ryukyu Island and Yangma Island. brand, Kuyeshima Rice.

In April, the news came.

The imperial court raised an army of 15 to sweep the south, and together with the local army in the south of the Yangtze River, it was close to 20.The opposite Layi army launched a brutal attack.

In order to win quickly, Gao Qiu implemented the strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the country. Any village with gangsters would be wiped out by one gangster.

Wherever he passed, there were mourners everywhere, and the prosperous south of the Yangtze River was empty.

The steam boats of Cangzhou Shisanhang played an important role in recruiting all kinds of immigrants, men, women and children.At the most, the number of immigrants per month was as high as [-], which was mainly due to Gao Lian's ferocity, otherwise these people would not want to leave.

Although Fang La's army fought hard, but the military equipment was backward, coupled with the lack of food and grass, they retreated steadily. By the middle of May, they had already retreated to the vicinity of Qingxi County.

Although there are fierce generals such as Shi Bao, Fang Dingtian, and Deng Yuanjue, they are still powerless.

Chai Lin did nothing for a long time, Zhu Wu and Wu Yong were discussing there.

"Mr. Wu, you are my brother's great military adviser, why don't you tell me why my brother didn't go to rescue Fang La, even if he didn't save him, it would be better to take some of his generals."

Wu Yong smiled: "You are pretending to be ignorant. My brother is more afraid of sects. No matter how powerful such generals are, it is hard to feel at ease when recruited. What's more, our Cangzhou army is different from other forces. The effect is very small. The soldiers are more effective on the battlefield. The reason why Fang La failed so quickly is not because his brother recruited a large number of strong men, and at least 50 strong men were taken away. These were originally Fang La's source of soldiers."
