Song Beiyun

After the three of them finished watching, there was a moment of silence...

"The Grassland is going to send troops to attack the Western Regions, the Liao Kingdom's [-] cavalry Chen Bing Xixia, Xixia conspired in Jingzhou, the Tubo tribes sent people to contact Hara Khan, Jingzhou tax chaos..." Yan Shu had a strange expression: "This is already a mess."

Zuo Guogong took a step forward and said: "I don't quite understand what this dynamic balance means...I know all the characters, but..."

Zhao Xing laughed, and explained confidently: "This is a new term, which means that in the Northwest, although the situation is already chaotic, everyone is trying to avoid it. A changing balance has been formed. You can't be alone, and you can move your whole body with one hair."

During the one-year study in Qinglongyuan, Zhao Xing knew a lot of things. Although he was of average aptitude, he couldn't stand to work hard, so now when he heard these words, he was able to grasp the meaning immediately, and that fellow Song Gou even more so. The memorials and letterheads are written more and more straightforwardly, but those who have not studied in Qinglongyuan may not be able to understand this straightforwardly.

"If this is the case, the Golden Horde suffered a defeat in the Liao Kingdom last winter, and now it dare not send troops easily, and the Jin Kingdom is behind the Liao Kingdom, and 7 people are already extremely high. And that Uyghur, Xixia, and Heijue are even more trapped among them, and there are lofty mountains in Tubo, so it seems powerless to think about it. So now the northwest seems to be chaotic, but there is peace everywhere."

"But whoever can't stand it suddenly makes a move. If anyone loses his temper at this time, the Song Dynasty will definitely join the war." Yan Shu glanced at the secret letter again: "The superiors said that the Liao Kingdom is the most unstable, and their goal seems to be Chang'an."

"Take Chang'an?" Zhao Xing pondered for a moment: "It must not be done. Chang'an is the former capital of the Tang Dynasty. In the words of Song Gou, it is the white moonlight in the hearts of those sour people. If it falls into the hands of the Liao Kingdom, this orthodox The dispute is still a fart... Zuo Gong, please send someone to tell Song Beiyun urgently within [-] miles, I and him only know, arbitrarily, and act alone. Once the Liao Kingdom is launched, we will take Chang'an first at all costs. !"

"But there are 7 people in the Liao Kingdom..."

Yan Shu looked up at Zhao Xing: "Officials, I'm afraid Mr. Song won't be able to move the Jingzhou garrison."

Zhao Xing looked at Zuo Guogong, Zuo Guogong also shook his head and said: "Xiangyang has less than 10 soldiers on the list. After excluding garrison, city defense, maintenance, food and grass, there are less than [-] soldiers available to call, and Sun Zewei is not willing to come here." Will agree to borrow troops with Song Beiyun, even if the order is reprimanded by the emperor, the ones you get must be old, weak and disabled soldiers."

"Then he only has the East China Sea New Army in his hands."

"More than 2000 people..." Yan Shu said with a wry smile, "Even if all of them are warriors, it would be a dream if 2000 people want to take Chang'an before the [-] Liao people. Officials..."

Zhao Xing was scratching his head, Zuo Guogong was pacing, and Yan Shu stood there with his hips akimbo, his face blank.

This chaotic world of heroes is coming in a flash, is it possible that Da Song will watch the limelight of this era blowing past him?

"No, I don't accept it." Zhao Xing said angrily, "Hurry up at Babaili, whether it's the Chai family or Sun Zewei, let me clean up those guys! Eat Jingzhou, take Chang'an! Don't let them The Liao Kingdom took advantage of me."

At this time, Xiaoyu carefully walked back and forth beside Zhao Xing. He could not speak or interfere in politics, but he could attract Zhao Xing's attention as much as possible, so he followed Zhao Xing like this. ADHD in general.

"Correct!"

Finally, Zhao Xing saw Xiaoyu's hyperactivity, and he pointed out: "Xiaoyu, you bring the masters from the Commander's Department and dispatch 2000 people from the Imperial City Department to assist Song Beiyun."

"The little fish takes the lead!"

Xiao Yu was about to run out happily, when Zhao Xing suddenly yelled: "Come back!"

Xiao Yu, who was already beaming with joy, immediately returned to Zhao Xing with a blank expression, and then heard Zhao Xing say: "You just tell that dog, no matter what, you must be the first to take down Chang'an!" ! Even if he proclaims himself king outside!"

As soon as Zhao Xing's words came out of his mouth, Yan Shu and Zuo Guogong were dumbfounded. They were about to go forward to stop Zhao Xing's madness, but they saw Zhao Xing wave his hand: "I believe in him, and he won't let me down." Oh, it’s all about making yourself king, when the matter subsides, he will return by the way, as for the title, it’s not easy to arrange, anyway, when he raises the Song character flag, who knows if it’s the Great Song or the Little Song.”

"The official family...is in danger."

"What's the danger here?" Zhao Xing waved his hand: "People who come out of my Qinglong Garden should be considered heroes."

Yan Shu was silent for a long time, but in the end he still didn't speak. After all, when a courtier who knows no law meets an emperor who doesn't follow the rules, God knows what kind of sparks these two people can make.

Just wait and see...

As for the matter of becoming a king on his own, that's probably an expedient measure. Based on Yan Shu's understanding of that guy, let alone being a king, even if he was given a yellow robe, he would have to secretly take off the yellow robe in the middle of the night and hide the yellow robe in the cowshed by himself. He left a letter saying that he had sensed the call of the immortal and was going to climb the mountain to become an immortal.

It's just that this order can only be a secret order, otherwise... Where does the dynasty's prestige come from?

"Of course it's a secret letter. How can this fucking thing be made public?" Zhao Xing frowned: "Master Yan, you seem to be not very smart."

Yan Shu glanced at Zhao Xing, and suddenly discovered a problem... that is, Song Beiyun became more and more serious, while Zhao Xing became more and more doggy.

Zuo Guogong can't say anything. After all, Song Dynasty doesn't have so much energy to start a war in the northwest. At a time when all kinds of things are waiting to be done, it is really impossible to fight a war. Last year's counter-insurgency was big enough. Song has recovered for a long time, and if he comes again, there will be a lot of flames.

After Xiaoyu set off with the secret letter, Zhao Xing sat on the dragon chair and pondered for a long time, then suddenly raised his head: "You two lovers, stay for lunch at noon. Let's discuss the strength of the new East China Sea army. "

Zhao Xing only knew that the new army in the East China Sea was expensive, but he didn't know where it was. It was cool to give orders before, but now he was still a little scared. It wasn't because he was afraid that Song Gou Zhanshan would not come back, but because he was afraid of the new army in the East China Sea. Not very good. He died outside or was captured.

"The new army in the East China Sea?" Zuo Guogong pondered for a moment: "I don't know... It is said that they are the strongest in the world."

"That's just a rumor." Yan Shu shook his head and said, "There's still a bit of boasting in it, after all, it's like I bought a set of ducks in Cuifangju a few days ago, and a set of ducks cost as much as I bought, and I felt uncomfortable eating them when I went back. It's so delicious, it's not as good as the ducks with more than ten yuan on the street."

"and after?"

"Later, when I met people, I said that the duck in Cuifangju was the best in the world."

"Why?" Zhao Xing tilted his head and said with a smile, "How is it?"

"It would be great if I didn't say anything, wouldn't everyone in the world know that I have been taken advantage of by you?"

Zhao and Zuo Guogong burst out laughing immediately, but after the burst of laughter, the two of them frowned at the same time.

Chapter 513: On May 5th, Three Years

The combat power of the new army in the East China Sea is actually unknown in the world. People only know that the leather army in Liao Kingdom is "simplified and gathered in the heart of the world". It is divided into Eagle Army, Dragon Army, Phoenix Army, Tiger Army, The Xiong Army, Iron Pigeon Army, Falcon Army and other nine ranks, totaling more than [-] people, are only more than ten million guan.

A new army in the East China Sea, 800 million people, only more than 10,000 people, people don't believe it when they say it, they all think that they are eating [-]+ people of their mother's money.

On this day, Song Beiyun came to the camp of the East China Sea New Army stationed 45 miles outside Xiangyang City.There are two people standing guard at the door, their eyes are like eagles.

Entry and exit here must be based on the password, and the password is changed every day. If the password is correct and wrong, even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu will have to wait for the generals inside to come out to pick up people.

Song Beiyun didn't know the password, so he waited outside. After all, he set the rules. Maybe someone else broke the rules, but he must not be the one to break them.

Not long after, Yang Wenguang, the son of the Yang family, hurried out of the camp. After seeing Song Beiyun, he stood up and saluted: "Master Song!"

Xiao Song glanced at him and nodded: "Please take me in."

"Don't dare to bother me, Mr. Song please."

Entering the barracks, Song Beiyun was greeted by people wherever he went, and he was regarded as a person of high status.And the No. 1 that came into view was the big black cow who was shirtless and was washing his body with cold well water.

"You don't even know how to cover it up a bit. Your size makes people look at it, and you have to bear grudges."

"Yun Shuai!"

Hearing Song Beiyun's voice, the big black bull turned around excitedly and rushed towards Song Beiyun with his stuff.

"Grandpa, get the hell out of here." Song Beiyun scolded with a smile, "Put on your clothes and come in with me."

After speaking, he got into the coach's tent and sat down on the coach's seat, but he felt that the bottom of his buttocks was full of gravel. There was a layer of dust, and there was a print of his butt on the dust.

"Good guy... you don't clean the house?"

"It's not that I don't clean up Yun Shuai, but that no one dares to sweep it. Under the handsome seat, there is majesty." Yang Wenguang stood up straight: "The whole army of the East China Sea New Army respects Yun Shuai from the bottom of their hearts, and dare not make mistakes. Second-rate."

"Okay, okay, okay." Song Beiyun waved his hand: "Don't put a high hat on me, do you understand what I mean this time?"

"Yes! The new army of the East China Sea has the whole army, and they are on standby at any time! Follow the Song Dynasty to death, and fight with each other with your life."

Xiao Song nodded: "Where is the Vulcan Camp?"

After hearing this, Yang Wenguang walked out of the tent, shouted a few times, and then a general quickly ran over and stood straight in front of Song Beiyun: "My subordinate, Mao Yukui, has seen Shuai Yun."

"There are too many rules, so don't give me any pretense. The Vulcan Battalion is getting ready, and I want to see your training results."

After a quarter of an hour, about [-] soldiers gathered in front of the commander-in-chief. Song Beiyun walked out and took a closer look at the mental outlook of each of them. It felt quite good. Compared with my sallow complexion and thin skin, it can be described as that I am a dragon, a tiger, and a tiger.

"Very good." Xiao Song smiled and walked to the incense burner next to him: "I will light a stick of incense, and before it burns out, I want to see you in full armor appearing in front of me!"

A stick of incense?The young men who claimed to be masters of tigers and wolves showed confident smiles on their faces, but they didn't expect that Song Gou...that Song Gou actually broke off a stick of incense for six or seven points, and the rest was only three points One stick of incense.

Now the Huoshen camp was in a panic, and everyone entered a state of emergency combat readiness. With a whoosh, they all dispersed and rushed into their own barracks. I saw people rushing out one after another with their trousers and hats buttoned up, shouting slogans to get ready while rushing.

When he rushed in front of Song Beiyun, one-third of the sticks of incense would be burned out, Xiao Song pursed his lips and shook his head: "It's still immature."

Yang Wenguang glared viciously at this group of ignorant bastards, then knelt down in front of Song Beiyun on one knee, "It's because my subordinates haven't trained well, so I ask Shuai Yun to punish them."

"The penalty will be waived, and it's better to be strict with me in the future than anything else." Xiao Song looked at the group below: "This time you are barely qualified, if you do it again next time, each of you will carry a [-]-kilometer cross-country cross-country. "

Hearing these words, the faces of the people below are all green. This is the scariest of all the training. Although they are lightly armored soldiers, a set of equipment plus dry food and water will cost more than 30 catties, fifteen kilometers They've done the math, and it's roughly equivalent to thirty miles... Thirty miles of weight-carrying, after the run, people feel as if they're going to die...

"Let's get started." Xiao Song laughed, "Let me see it."

At this time, someone moved a stool from behind and put it behind Xiao Song. He sat down and crossed his arms and raised his legs: "Yang Wenguang! Order!"

Yang Wenguang took the order, took up a flag and waved it down: "Vulcan camp, line up!"

At this time, these hundreds of elites immediately entered the usual training posture and formed a square formation at an extremely fast speed. stood up.

They quickly untied the cloth bags behind them, revealing the black "iron rods" inside, with serious expressions.

"Bounce!"

As soon as Yang Wenguang gave an order, they began to pull out the paper bag at their waists as quickly as possible, tore off the sealing thread on the top, poured the gunpowder in the paper bag into the nozzle, and pressed the gunpowder tightly with a long stick, and then They took out a long hexagonal projectile and put it in, and opened the safety at the wrist.

"emission!"

A puff of green smoke rose, the people in the first row started a salvo, and then the people in the second row immediately fell to the ground, while the people in the third row showed a half-squatting posture.

"emission!"

After the second round of volley, the standing ones have become lying down. The three echelons have completed a round of exchange, and the echelon that completed the shooting first has been reloaded and re-entered the excitation stage.

"guard!"

As soon as the voice fell, heavy infantry quickly stepped forward, forming a steel defense line in front of the Vulcan Battalion. The shields were stacked together to form a metal tower, and the structure of the shields was rather peculiar, and they all retained shooting holes, allowing fire The shooters of the God Camp carried out orderly launches and reloads without interference.

"Swordsmen, move out!"

Immediately beside the heavy infantry were long swordsmen who specialized in dealing with cavalry, but unlike the previous longswords, these people also had special pockets around their waists, these pockets were supposed to be filled with iron fragmentation grenades, but Because it was a report performance, they all used polished stones instead.

"Array forward!"

Following Yang Wenguang's order, the shooting tower actually moved, and all the people began to move around the position like a precision instrument. The heavy infantry was always guarding the brothers of the Vulcan Battalion, and the Vulcan Battalion would also leave when they left. The steel wire nails for traction are arranged on the ground, about [-] centimeters above the ground, and the steel wires are hung on both ends, which is enough to cut the incoming cavalry into pieces in an instant.

"Cover and retreat!"

As soon as the words fell, hundreds of heads suddenly appeared in the trenches behind. They raised their firecrackers inside and began to cover and shoot, and there were artillery shells torn off in the last row of positions.

An exquisite and delicate battlefield simulation is over. Although Song Beiyun feels a bit refreshed, he is still not satisfied. After he pondered for a while, he didn't say anything. After all, this already represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship, and it would be too difficult for him to be stricter. .

However, positional warfare can continue to be strengthened. The main reason is that the application of barbed wire should be more proficient, because now the main enemy is cavalry, and the charge of cavalry is very fast. Kind of stuff is very important.And of course, there are mines.But of course there is no product of Zenith Star technology such as induction mines now, they are all tripping mines.However, if it is used properly, it is not a big problem to deal with early light cavalry and some heavy cavalry. It mainly depends on steel wire mesh and intensive fire suppression.

"Marshal please check!"

Yang Wenguang trotted all the way to Song Beiyun: "The East China Sea new army has assembled."

Xiao Song stood up and began to applaud. After saying some words of encouragement, he suddenly changed the subject: "Although you have done a good job, you must always keep in mind the sudden changes in the battlefield, and you must always be vigilant and changeable. We are warriors who change the times, not Kaizi who are ridiculed by others, you must always remember one thing, as long as you don't take it lightly and don't be afraid of the battle, then there will be no one in the world who can beat you!"

The new army in the East China Sea is expensive, why is it expensive?It is expensive for a reason, the bullets fired cost three pennies a shot.One person can fire three to four shots in one minute, and more than 1 people can fire more than 300 shots in one minute.

Naturally, live ammunition is used for daily training, does the wear and tear of the firearms count?Those are high-precision treasures that the teacher and father used a file bit by bit, with a tolerance of a few tenths of a millimeter. Is this considered money?

If you really want to calculate it, this loss is half of your own property, otherwise the God of Wealth would not dare to burn money like this.

As a secret weapon, he has never brought it up, because one is afraid of leaking the secret and the other is afraid of embarrassment. After all, although this thing is a product of Europe in the 1700s, it is now a product of a cross-age.

The combination of firecrackers and cannons is enough to change the current war situation. If it weren't for the low output, the new East China Sea army of more than 2000 people could wipe out [-] cavalry on the grassland overnight.They can't break through the artillery array alone, let alone cooperate with the excellent tactics of the First World War.

For the standard equipment of this era, the East China Sea New Army can pat their chests and say that they are a meat grinder.

"Yang Wenguang."

"Subordinates are here!"

"Enter combat readiness starting today!"

Chapter 514: On May 5th of the third year, Chang'an is not in chaos, Anu decides.

In fact, it is not that no one has questioned the new army of the East China Sea. The biggest opposition is not in the court, but in Qinglongyuan.

Yan Shu, Yan Daguan actually holds a negative and skeptical attitude towards the new army in the East China Sea. He believes that the number is king, and if the same amount of money is spent to build an army, if the number does not increase, no matter how sophisticated the equipment and tactics are, it will be difficult to win. opponent.

Another point is the problem of loyalty. When an army is so elite that it is difficult for other troops to match, they will inevitably have all kinds of restless emotions, and from the perspective of Song Beiyun's thinking, troops like the East China Sea New Army can't easily Can't change the leader.

So when there is a rebellion in this elite group, how to counter the rebellion?Assuming that they really have supreme combat power, then once they have a problem, who can solve it?

Of course, this kind of disagreement will exist, and it is also very likely to happen. It is a good thing that there are different voices in Qinglongyuan, because the questions raised after careful thinking are actually very representative and constructive.

So Xiao Song also systematically sorted out and explained the questions raised by Yan Shu.First of all, why not use the same money to build a larger elite force.

Xiao Song's answer to this is actually very simple. The larger the team, the less funds allocated to each person will be. In the end, at best, a leather army will be created in Da Song.This is meaningless and not necessarily stronger than Liao's Pishi army, not to mention the heavy cavalry that is gradually forming on the grassland and the quick-response light cavalry of Jin.

Therefore, the East China Sea New Army is just a pilot project. It is necessary for them to be expensive now, because when the technology matures, the problem of equipment price can be solved, and when the army expands, there will be a solid and powerful technical reserve and talent reserve.

Song Beiyun specifically came up with a military expansion plan for the next 20 years. In addition to the East China Sea New Army, there are Bohai New Army and South China Sea New Army. The main combat tasks of the three new armies will not be on land but at sea. After the development of sea navigation technology to a certain stage, these three new armies will become the navy of the Song Dynasty.

Although the Song Dynasty itself has a navy, the mission scope of the navy and the navy is completely different, and the enemies they face will be completely different, so the navy must be the first to develop.

After the navy, there will be four new army formations, corresponding to the garrison divisions in the north, whose main duty is to defend the city.This troop will become the strongest shield of Song Dynasty, guarding firmly along the Great Wall and defending against all external enemies.

Afterwards, there was a multi-purpose internal guard army that responded to the threat from the south. Their main duty was to attack the southern countries. They used soil work, blasting, and long-range bombing as the main means to attack the fortified troops. They were the arrows of the Song Dynasty.The last two cavalry killer units are specially designed for cavalry, one is used to fight against the grassland and Jin country cavalry, and the other is used to fight against the Semuren cavalry.

The two forces will formulate different countermeasures according to the different terrains, combat methods and arms characteristics of each country. They are the sharpest spears of Song Dynasty.
