Chapter 56 Hello Everyone, My Prophecy Comes Again
Wanyan Zonghan would not say that sentence.
He would never acknowledge Zhao Ning's article.
If he admits it, it is tantamount to admitting that Jin cannot destroy Song.
This is not a matter of self-esteem, this is a political issue, which involves his personal interests.
He belongs to the sect of destroying the Song Dynasty, and the core meaning of that article is that the Kingdom of Jin cannot destroy the Song Dynasty.
That article will inevitably make the peace faction in the court stand up and pose a political threat to him, the hardline war faction.
In fact, Zhao Ning wrote the article "On the Early Stage of the Song and Jin Wars" for several purposes:
[-]. As long as the situation develops as described in the article, the main peace faction of Jin Guochaotang must have materials to prove their ideas and launch political attacks on the main war faction.
[-]. In terms of combat ideology, unite the fragmented Song Dynasty.
In the face of a huge crisis of national subjugation, every force has its own ideas. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the continuous implementation of separate constraints, the phenomenon of silos has reached an outrageous level.
How did the division die in battle?
Meeting with Yao Gu on a regular basis, Yao Gu did not arrive as scheduled, and the lone army was wiped out by the Jin army.
Yao Gu's Yao family army ended up being destroyed as well.
There is also Li Gang, who succeeded in defending Tokyo City at the beginning of the first year of Jingkang, was squeezed out of Tokyo, and was sent to Hebei and Hedong as Xuanfu envoys.
At this time, Zong Ze wanted to gather an army to the Yellow River to deter the Jin army, but all the troops ran to Zhao Gou.
This is the norm in the Song Dynasty.
This article can actually guide the grand strategy in the general direction and avoid too many useless strategic debates in the future.
Of course, Zhao Ning didn't expect that an article could unite people's hearts, that's impossible.
To make the Great Song Dynasty stronger, it must go through reforms that are overwhelming!
Wanyan Zonghan didn't want to say it, so naturally Shi Liai wouldn't say it either.
At present, the extermination of the Song Dynasty is the mainstream in the court of the Jin Kingdom, and Wan Yangao, the second most powerful figure in the Jin Kingdom, is also a staunch sect of the extermination of the Song Dynasty.
Only by destroying the Song Dynasty, these talents will continue to receive credit and rewards, and continue to strengthen their strength in the court.
At this time, Zongze is definitely not avoiding and not fighting.
It is based on retreat.
From time to time, he would send troops to attack where the Jin army was weak after all, that is, he would not fight head-on with Wanyan Wushu's kidnapper.
Or when Wanyan Wushu sent out a small cavalry to spy on the enemy, if they encountered it, they would immediately wipe out the opponent.
Zong Ze's ability to win battles does not depend solely on bravery, he also has his own methods.
In the absence of cavalry on one's own side, he summed up the previous wars, and the Song army was often defeated by the opponent's cavalry.
Fighting in the cold weapon era pays attention to formation. Once the army is defeated, it will have no combat effectiveness at all.
Just imagine, you're in the middle of a rout of 8000 men.
There are people in the front and back, and everyone is running. If you run too slowly, you may be trampled to death.
As for your telling everyone not to run, we will attack over there, your voice may be buried in the shouts of many people.
At this time, the individual is just a flat boat in the vast ocean.
This is also the reason why the battle of Feishui was defeated, because the army collapsed.
So, fighting a war is not a math problem, it is not a game, just click the mouse, and the crowd will kill each other.
At this time, to block the enemy cavalry, we need a method.
He made many chariots and used them against cavalry.
1 person drives the car, 8 people push the cart, and 2 people rotate the wheel.
3 people hold the auxiliary vehicle with a license plate, 20 people hold the long gun auxiliary vehicle, and 18 people use the magic arm bow to shoot long-range with the gun, and each tank shares 55 people.
For every 10 trains, there will be one chief minister and one chief minister, forming a team.
The line is the formation, and the stop is the battalion, which is specially designed to deal with the attack of the enemy's cavalry.
In the absence of heavy infantry, this effect will be much better.
This is one of the reasons why Zongze was able to win the battle: brave and resourceful!
In the middle of March, Zhao Ning relaxed.
The city of Tokyo has been relatively peaceful in the past two months. After all, everyone has food to eat, and the Jinren have not attacked the city anymore.
From time to time, Zhao Ning would go out for a stroll.
But most of the time, he was addicted to the "indigenous method of making penicillin" in the palace.
Sure enough, it is still relatively unfamiliar. After more than two months, it all ended in failure.
But he didn't give up, he made improvements while making, and recorded all the processes.
Not only that, he is still perfecting his many strategic plans in the future.
such as various reforms.
Including but not limited to financial reform, ban reform, bureaucratic reform, transportation reform, personnel reform, etc.
There are more important military reforms, including the in-depth construction of the defense strategy after the withdrawal of the Jin army.
In fact, he has already planned many things. As soon as Jin Bing left, he began to recruit talents from all sides and took office immediately.
Of course, reform is not about lip service, nor is it about following a gourd.
It should be done according to the actual situation, and at a certain stage, many systems cannot be changed at will, and they cannot be changed at will, let alone be dragged to the ground by taking too many steps.
This is also the reason why he has not made changes to the Great Song Dynasty in the past few months.
It is useless to change it now, because Tokyo City is now cut off from the outside world, and many yamen are paralyzed.
But after Wang Shiyong was chopped off, Zhao Ning promoted Cheng Zhen, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.
These are irrelevant matters for now.
He has listed all the talents he knew at the turn of the Song Dynasty.
On the first day of April, Zhao Ding came up and said, "Officials, there is not much food left in the city. A few days ago, there were cases of breaking into houses to grab food. These things have been increasing one after another in the past few days."
He also said: "The big households don't have much food. Now, some of the defenders proposed to go out of the city to fight the Jin people."
This kind of thinking is also normal. The food is about to bottom out, and naturally some people want to fight.
"Are there many people who think this way?"
"There are not a few, even the people are worried." Zhao Ding hesitated, and said, "I am worried that someone with a heart will come out to instigate at this time."
"I know, you don't have to worry, I will handle this matter, and I will tell everyone in the "Tokyo Daily News" that this month the gold people will retreat."
Zhao Ding was slightly taken aback, and said: "Officials, if the Jin people don't retreat, it will greatly damage your prestige, which was established with great difficulty..."
"The Jinren will definitely retreat, don't worry." Zhao Ning calmly said.
On the second day of April, early in the morning, the headline of the "Tokyo Daily" was published.
For a time, there were rumors everywhere in the city that the Jin soldiers would withdraw within a month.
Almost most people choose to believe it.
Because of the past few months, the prestige of Zhao Guan's family in Tokyo City has reached an unprecedented height.
As soon as this article came out, the hearts of the people in Tokyo suddenly settled down.
Some people believe it, but some people don't believe it.
For example, student Zhao Kai, who hid at home and under the blanket, scoffed at the content of this newspaper.
Zhao Kai: If the Jin people don't retreat by then, let's see how you step down!
Of course, there are those officials who have similar thoughts with Zhao Kai.
Certain officials: Tyrant!You are self-inflicted!If the Jin people don't retreat, there will be no food in the city, and everyone will be angry. It depends on how you explain it!
Chapter 57 What, the Jin army besieged Zhao Gou?
Wanyan Zonghan wanted to keep procrastinating, and also wanted to procrastinate for another month by reducing the soldiers' meals for each meal.
This kind of mentality is the same as buying stocks. I see myself falling, but I just don’t sell, maybe it will rise tomorrow.
This is a kind of gambling psychology.
His opponent is Zhao Ning.
Maybe tomorrow someone will jump off the city wall of Bianjing in despair.
Maybe the dog emperor will not be able to handle it next month!
Shi Liai said: "Marshal, we are running out of food and grass, if we want to retreat, we must act now."
Shi Li'ai and Wan Yan Zonghan had already thought about the strategy of retreating troops.
There are hundreds of thousands of Song troops on the north bank of the Yellow River, and that kid Wanyan Wushu is playing tricks on the north bank again.
Wanyan Wushu is playing tricks?
That's right, Wanyan Wushu is playing tricks.
In fact, he deliberately did not fight the Song army head-on on a large scale.
His kidnapper Ma really wants to fight the Song army, so it won't be so long without results.
Up to now, many senior generals in the Golden Army want to withdraw their troops, but they don't say it out.
Wanyan Wushu wanted to use this method to force Wanyan Zonghan to withdraw his troops.
Wanyan Zonghan's withdrawal of troops will definitely have an impact on Wanyan Zonghan's prestige in the Jin Dynasty.
And politics is a zero-sum game.
It's not just Wanyan Wushu who has this kind of careful thinking, why not Wanyan Zongwang?
He didn't finish persuading Yan Zonghan, he just spent all day drinking and sleeping with women in his marshal's tent, putting on a posture of "I'll wait for you to issue the order to withdraw troops".
Therefore, the team is not easy to lead!
No matter how powerful the combat capability is, there are still gaps within them that cannot be closed.
From this point of view, Wanyan Wushu is as peaceful as Wanyan Zongwang?
No, no, Wanyan Wushu, like Wanyan Zonghan, is a tough Song-destroyer faction.
The fourth prince in history was not a good stubble.
The Tiefutu and the Kidnap Horse frightened the Song army.
Song people called him "Jin Wu Shu".
Since Wanyan Wushu is a tough Song Dynasty sect, why do you have to play tricks now?
They say politics is a zero-sum game.
The Song Dynasty was also a stock market. If he beats me, I won’t have to fight. The cake is that big.
Political struggle is nothing more than two words: interest.
Wanyan Zonghan pondered for a moment and said, "How about holding on for another month and withdrawing troops at the beginning of May?"
Shi Liai glanced at Gao Qingyi who was on the side, obviously hoping that Gao Qingyi would also say something.
These two were both former ministers of the Liao Kingdom. After Jin destroyed the Liao Dynasty, they surrendered to the Jin Kingdom and were reused by Wan Yan Zonghan.
Especially Gao Qing, who was born in the Gao family in Bohai, is quite famous and is proficient in Jurchen and Chinese. In the first few years, when the Jin Kingdom quickly conquered the Liao Kingdom, this person played a very important role in the middle.
Gao Qingyi said: "Marshal, if it is delayed for another month, I am worried that the situation in Hebei will change. It is not that we cannot go back. I am afraid that we will have to pay a certain price to successfully withdraw, which is not good for the Marshal."
The "disadvantage to Marshal Yu" he said meant that in the court, Wanyan Zonghan was unfavorable politically.
War is an extension of politics and must be linked to politics.
Wanyan Zonghan was suspected of having great achievements, and Wanyan Wu Qimai had been secretly trying to weaken him.
And at this time, the dispute over the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Jin was also involved, and Wanyan Zonghan supported Wanyan Gao.
