Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

"Although we all know that even if we rush to the battlefield in the future, we will still be a drag on our entire Song Dynasty army."

"But since our brothers are born in the Song Dynasty, we all want to contribute our own modest efforts to the entire Song Dynasty."

"Now that the officials are able to say so much to us big-headed soldiers, we veterans will naturally be grateful forever in their hearts."

"But in our hearts, we veterans also want to say something to the officials."

"That is, can it be considered that in the past, we all followed Old General Zhong to pacify the world and jointly create the prosperous age of the Song Dynasty for the sake of our efforts and bloodshed."

"How about a reward for all of us, a living?"

"After all, most of us have grown up near the capital for many years."

"How can I survive if I suddenly go somewhere else at this time?"

As they talked, the more than [-] soldiers, led by hundreds of veterans, knelt down toward Zhao Ji with a roar.

Zhao Ji's eye circles were a little red.

He frowned and pondered for a long time, and then slowly stretched out his hands, beckoning everyone to get up before talking.

After all the soldiers slowly stood up, Zhao Ji finally expressed all his thoughts:

"All of you present are not only our soldiers of the Song Dynasty, but also our subjects."

"In this case, as an official, I have no intention of abandoning everyone."

"But now, since the thieves are pressing in in large numbers, I really can't think of a good way."

"I have two paths, and I can sift through everyone."

"One is to give everyone a last chance to screen here three days later."

"Those of you who have the ability to meet today's screening conditions."

"You can still be incorporated into the combat force."

"But if you are still unsuccessful, you can also be incorporated into the logistics reserve force."

"When the war begins, even if we are defending the city, we still have to make certain emergency preparations outside the city."

"Someone also has to do the work such as building bunkers, transporting food, rescuing the wounded, and delivering messages on the battlefield."

"Compared to combat troops, those duties may not require very good physical conditions to complete."

"The imperial court will also give each volunteer a certain amount of hard work money every month to keep everyone alive."

"As for the amount of silver distributed, it depends on your efforts."

"Right now, I can only think of two ways out."

"If you agree, we can disperse from now on."

"We will gather here again in three days."

Although what Zhao Ji said here may not be what everyone here wants to hear the most.

But invisibly, it gave the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses still here a lot of peace of mind.

Not long after, the people here dispersed one after another.

……

In the next few days, similar dramas were staged one after another in the other three camps in Tokyo.

As for those soldiers who were eliminated in this physical fitness test, Wu Yong and Song Jiang also adopted Zhao Ji's method.

Go and resettle the defeated soldiers.

And it's not like Zhao Ji doesn't want to personally participate in such matters.

In fact, the battle reports of the bandits under Fang La, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing were arriving like snowflakes.

It only made Zhao Ji a little anxious.

Seeing the thieves in those three locations getting closer and closer to Tokyo City.

Zhao Ji's department is also pressing harder and harder with the Ministry of Industry regarding the progress of manufacturing tanks and combat vehicles.

But no matter how hard Zhao Ji pressed, no matter how hard the Ministry of Industry worked, they still could not change the speed at which it was announced that it would take ten days to build a tank.

Currently, there are three fully functional tanks parked at the Ministry of Industry.

Although these tanks and combat vehicles have not been used in any large-scale battles until this time.

But at this moment, Zhao Ji had to be ordered to regard these three treasures as the last trump card in the battle to defend the capital.

With the establishment of camps around the capital, the selection of elite soldiers and generals has come to an end.

This also resulted in the recently established Intelligence Analysis Division suddenly having an inexhaustible supply of sufficient troops.

When Zhao Ji gave the order to send out the spies one after another.

Within a day or two, a lot of inside information was obtained from Fang La, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing's generals.

In this way, Zhao Ji felt more confident about winning the defense battle of the capital.

After Zhao Ji's spies inquired around, they learned that out of the 10 soldiers and horses dispatched by Fang La, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing this time, [-] to [-] percent of them were cavalry.

As for the rest, except for some auxiliary arms, only one tenth is infantry.

As for the other party, the reason why they adopt such a staffing arrangement is that their strategic goals are also quite clear.

It was nothing more than the hope that with the help of the light cavalry, the extremely fast speed would enable the army to attack the city of Tokyo in the shortest possible time, and easily eat the city into its mouth.

Since they fought with this goal in mind, the three armies did not bother to fight when they passed some small towns and villages along the way.

If you can take a detour, just take the detour.

If you really can't dodge, just charge hard and hit them hard.

When he found an opening to escape, he galloped away.

……

Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon chair in the study room, looked at the latest intelligence letter delivered back.

There are really mixed feelings in my heart.

In this situation, what if we fight hard?

Perhaps the probability that our side can fight to the end is not very high.

Although from a superficial perspective, there are still more than [-] troops and horses near Tokyo City.

But if they are really selected, how many soldiers will be able to fight?

Can you scrape together 30?

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji quickly ordered someone to call Song Jiang and Wu Yong over.

As for its purpose, it was very simple, that is, I wanted to ask those two how many physically fit soldiers they had selected from the 80 Imperial Guards near the capital after these days of screening.

But when Song Jiang and Wu Yong hurried here, they slowly revealed the final screening results.

Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel dizzy in his mind.

Only from the 80 forbidden troops, more than [-] usable soldiers were selected.

And those soldiers who wanted to work in logistics actually numbered more than 50!

With such a staff size, the total number seems to be more than [-].

But most of them are old and weak soldiers who can neither run nor carry weapons.
