Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

No, no, Zongze has more important arrangements afterwards.

Who is that?

That Zhang Jun who is good at winning battles!

Chapter 60 Zhao Guanjia's Strategic Defense

Zhang Jun is not Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun is one of the generals of ZTE in the Southern Song Dynasty, and he became the general of ZTE in the Southern Song Dynasty by licking Zhao Zuo.

Objectively speaking, Zhang Jun is not qualified to be tied with Yue Fei.

But Zhang Jun is different.

Among the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, three of them were brought out by him.

Where is this guy so awesome?

First of all, he was the leader of the anti-golden faction in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Secondly, his personal records are definitely not as good as Yue Fei's.

And, he had several notable defeats.

True, he had some notable defeats.

Among them, the "Battle of Fuping" in Shaanxi is the most famous.

In the Battle of Fuping, the Song Army's 30 troops...collapsed!

That's right, under the leadership of Zhang Jun, the Song Army's 30 troops collapsed!

After the collapse, Zhang Jun was entrusted with a heavy responsibility when he returned!

Does this historical data seem unreasonable?

If an ordinary commoner knew that Zhang Jun was defeated, he would definitely scold him.

But now that Zhao Ning is the emperor, standing at the highest level to formulate national strategies requires an understanding of the overall situation.

Next, Zhang Jun will be closely related to Zhao Ning's defensive strategic deployment, and he must be one of them.

The battle of Fuping attracted the main force of the Jin army, which greatly eased the crisis in the southeast of the Southern Song Dynasty.

It was a tactical defeat but a strategic victory.

Zhang Jun himself is also a person who is open and close, responsible and daring to do things.

He knew that Shaanxi would be defeated, but he resolutely forced an army of 30 to fight the Jin army.

You have to know that all the generals are willing to fight to the death, and the commander will be very relaxed.

The generals are unwilling to fight, and the commander will have a headache. Persuading them to fight is an extremely difficult thing in itself.

And knowing that you will lose, but still doing it, what kind of responsibility is this?

The average person has already fucked up and slipped away.

Therefore, Zhang Jun can entrust him with a heavy responsibility.

what?

I'm definitely not looking for a backer, don't talk nonsense!

Of course, the person looking for Zhang Jun is already on his way.

Right now, there is another more important matter that should be put on the agenda immediately.

what's up?

Recover the three towns of Taiyuan, Hejian, and Zhongshan?

No, no, with the current strength of the Song Dynasty, it cannot be recovered.

It is already a good situation for the Jin army to withdraw its troops.

Research and develop guns and artillery?

Bullshit!

During the Shenzong Dynasty, the total amount of iron smelted in the Song Dynasty was about 10 to 15 tons a year, which was about 2 million to 3 million jin.

The common currency of the Song Dynasty, iron money, has always been about 30 catties, 1000 million guan, which is 3 million catties of iron.

This is still the iron money of the finished product, not counting the consumption in manufacturing.

Not to mention the iron armor used by the stepper armor in the Song Dynasty, each pair of iron armor weighed more than sixty catties.

There are also agricultural tools that require iron.

During the reign of Shenzong, the area of ​​cultivated land in the Great Song Dynasty had reached 7 million mu. With more fields, there was naturally more demand for farm tools.

Coupled with the development of commerce, iron is needed for weights and transportation tools.

The annual production of 2 million catties seems a lot, but the population base is here, and the consumption of iron is also here.

Before Jingkang, there were 1360 million registered households in the Northern Song Dynasty, with an average of 5 people per household, and nearly 7000 million people.

In addition, for tax evasion and tax corruption, there are still many invisible people, about 9000 million, nearly [-] million people.

Moreover, muskets and cannons cannot be created with a single sentence.

Even if Zhao Ning is a genius and creates a prototype, it is impossible to equip all of them immediately.

Batches of muskets and artillery are driven by national production capacity, and national production capacity needs to be driven by the industrialization system.

From iron smelting, scheduling and transportation, parts standards, manufacturing molds, gunpowder ratio, process polishing, etc., this production line is very complicated and requires the participation of many people.

This is not playing games!This is not playing games!This is not playing games!

Doesn't the research on firearms stop now?

No, first click on the technology tree, but this is not the top priority.

What's next?

arm!

Now the most urgent thing is to arm!

Now that the national defense is secure, many internal affairs can be dealt with slowly again.

Therefore, quickly deploy a strategic depth north of the Yellow River to deal with the next Jin army going south.

Hebei economic strategy envoy Zhao Ning also thought of a good candidate.

Zongze!

It must be Zongze!

Ordinary people take one step to see one step, or take one step to see two steps.

But as a strategist, you have to look at five steps to take one step.

Not only did the Hebei Economic Strategy appoint Zongze, but the military and political system also had to be reformed.

How to change the military system?

Not much change, big change is to die.

Don't move the Privy Council, don't move the original military and political system.

The Privy Council is involved in the military and political affairs of the whole country, and it is involved in a wide range, which is beyond anyone's imagination.

Just talking about the stamping of bureaucrats at all levels, if it needs to be changed, the seal must be changed, and the process should be changed?

The Golden Army may be coming by the end of this year.

If you want to change it, it may have just started. The Jin army has already arrived. If the military and government fail at this time...

Wouldn't I be going to the north to live in a five-star hut?

What should I do?

The Privy Council is overstaffed and inefficient, and there may be many corrupt officials. Can it be done without reform?

It cannot be changed, but not now.

Now there is a way.

Set up a separate comprehensive Yamen to handle the military affairs of the defense line on the north bank of the Yellow River, separate from the Privy Council, so that the group of bureaucrats in the Privy Council will not let them get involved.

Strengthening the defense line north of the capital is the top priority.

This comprehensive yamen is called the Military and Political Yuan, led by Zhang Shuye, who was transferred from the Privy Council to let Zong Ze go to the front line as an economic envoy to control the overall situation on the front line.

Let Chen Gui assist Zongze in building the defense of the city.

It just so happens that stereotypes are military technicians who are good at arranging troops.

Then give me a strategic depth of hundreds of miles in Hebei!

As for capable officials like Zhao Ding, they stayed in the political affairs hall, promoted to prime minister, and engaged in internal affairs.

As for the young generals, most of the generals with great potential can be thrown to the Hebei defense line. This is the new army, the cradle of future military talents.

As for the so-called military academy, the Great Song Dynasty itself had it.

In the Song Dynasty, there were martial arts halls, and the process can be standardized.

It's a matter of details.

What does Zhao Guan's family do?

Make money!

Find someone!

Then control the grand strategy and direction.

The goal at this stage is to set up a defense line and pull the battle into a protracted war, leaving everything else behind.

At this time, Zhao Ning talked about the strategy of Hebei to several people, and the idea of ​​the General Political Council to everyone.

He told him Zhang Shuye's future position again, and then arranged a conventional position.

After hearing this, everyone was stunned for a while.

The amount of information is too large and needs to be digested and digested.

Zhao Ding's mind was spinning fast, and he stared at the map Zhao Guanjia pointed to.

From the north bank of the Yellow River, to the west and up, there are towns in Shaanxi, to the east are Lianghuai, and to the north is the land of Shandong.

If he guessed correctly, the officials are going to build a large-scale arc strategic defense line in this area!

Chapter 61

Chen Gui never expected that when he arrived in Bianjing, he would be pulled in by the emperor to discuss such an important military affairs.

You know, he is just a county magistrate now.

And what the emperor said just now should have been discussed with the chief ministers,

For him to be in the Hall of Wende at this time, it is already beyond the scope of his status.

He said: "Officials, I'm afraid I can't..."

Zhao Ning didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said: "The country is employing people, and Qing should take on this great responsibility."

Chen Gui's heart skipped a beat, and he recalled that the officials went out of the city to greet them in the rain, so he couldn't help but moved and said: "It all depends on the arrangements of the officials, and I will do my best."

Zhao Ning said: "Good!"

He said again: "Mr. Shu Ye, what do you think of the overall deployment of Hebei's defense?"

Zhang Shuye said: "The officials are sages, the most urgent task at the moment is exactly as the officials said, and we should quickly deploy defenses in Hebei."

"Since that's the case, why don't you lead the Military and Political Council to quickly select fighters from the army for this city defense, form a new army, divide and coordinate, how about it?"

"The minister received the decree, and the minister will give the government a coordinating document within a month."

Zhao Ding said: "Officials, who will be the envoy of Hebei?"

"I also have someone in mind."

Zhao Ding didn't ask any more questions.
