The two armies of the defeated enemy and the trapped army combined have a main force of 60,000.

This is the main force of the Henan Corps who went to battle this time.

In addition, the Henan Corps also has a 10,000-person cavalry team directly under the corps, which is a mobile combat force, and joined the battle.

The Shenji Camp, which was organized by 5,000 people, was also in place in time, and under the command of Zhang Yuejing, followed the army to fight together.

This time, when we head south to Xiangyang, the Ming army dispatched a total of 75,000 troops, which was 15,000 more than the 60,000 troops during the First Ming and Song War.

In addition, the two divisions of the peasant army who could enter the Xiangfan battlefield from the south and north, the total force of the Ming army launched the Xiangfan Battle, or the Battle of Jinghu Battle, exceeded 100,000, reaching 115,000, which was the largest war launched since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, for Xiangfan, the number of troops of this size is relatively suitable..

Because the Southern Song Dynasty's management of Xiangfan was indeed very solid, the Mongols gathered more than the Ming army when they attacked Xiangfan, and it took six years to break through Xiangfan.

If the Ming army was too proud and too confident in its powerful firepower, it would inevitably suffer in Xiangfan for such a strict defense system.

So Su Yonglin was very cautious and directly ordered Zhang Yuejing to dispatch the main force of the Henan Corps.

Also, because the You Yi army of the Henan Corps was stationed on the territory ceded by the Song State in Huainan, Su Yonglin was also prepared to dispatch the Yanyun Corps and the Hu Ben Army to support the country if the troops were insufficient.

If the Song army dispatched its main force, Su Yonglin would not be stingy with the troops. He would also dispatch the main forces of mobilizing operations to fight a strategic decisive battle with the Southern Song Dynasty in Xiangfan.

Xiangfan is very important, and the important things are not to be ignored. The Southern Song Dynasty will definitely do its best to rescue Xiangfan and relieve the crisis in Xiangfan.

This means that as long as the troops stationed in Xiangfan are stationed in the main force of the Southern Song army, they can collide with the main force of the Southern Song army.

Maybe the Southern Song Dynasty will pull out the main force of the Sichuan-Shu War Zone for this purpose, and then pull out the main force of the Jianghua War Zone to support Xiangfan together and strive to ensure that Xiangfan will not lose.

But even if it really reaches that point, the Ming army's strength of more than 100,000 troops has already made Su Yonglin confident. Su Yonglin does not think that the 100,000 Ming army cannot annihilate the main force of the Song army.

Even if the most elite Sichuan and Shu army of the Song army joined the battle, the situation could not be changed.

There is no military existence in this world that can defeat the 100,000 Ming troops.

Su Yonglin can put his words here. In this era, no matter how many troops on earth confront each other, no matter how many people are, there is no possibility of defeating the Ming army.

Su Yonglin had enough confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. With the powerful Shenji Camp and new firearms, he had enough confidence to eliminate the main force of the Southern Song army in Xiangfan.

Although the Ming Dynasty was not yet ready to swallow the Southern Song Dynasty in full, preparations began to begin now.

It’s like eating a bowl of rice, eating the bowl of rice called the Southern Song Dynasty bit by bit, and chewing a few more bites may be better than swallowing the whole bowl of rice in one go.

At least, it is easier to digest and will not increase the burden on the stomach and cause indigestion.

Zhang Yuejing knew Su Yonglin's strategic goals very well, so he knew that Su Yonglin actually did not expect them to conquer Xiangfan quickly, even if the Shenji Camp, which was temporarily assigned to him, was equipped with the general artillery that could be called a human killing weapon.

Zhang Yuejing had heard of the reputation of Shenji Camp, but for the specific combat ability, he said that he would have to see it with his own eyes before he could determine it.

It can only be said that in Zhang Yuejing's view, the Battle of Xiangfan and even the Battle of Jinghu will be a strategic war of a long-lasting battle, a war he has been looking forward to for a long time.

And it is destined to be able to win, but it is just that the event of winning will be a little longer.

So this time the war of war in the entire Henan Province over the years will all come in handy.

All manpower and material resources are opened to Zhang Yuejing and the Henan Corps without any need for the Yellow River project.

In order to further enhance the combat endurance of the Henan Corps, Su Yonglin also ordered the Hedong Province, which had no military difficulties, to provide support for military, food, and manpower to the Henan Province, and the war savings were fully opened to the Henan Corps and no private hiding.

In addition, he also set up a battlefield medical team to head towards Henan Province, preparing sufficient number of doctors and medicinal materials to provide necessary medical support to the Henan Corps.

It is equivalent to Su Yonglin using the years of accumulation of the two provinces and part of the medical forces from the central government to provide logistical support for this war.

The cost is sky-high.

According to normal circumstances, Lin Jingchun is about to lose hair again.

However, due to the large amount of fiscal revenue obtained from the previous Great Revolution, Lin Jingchun did not raise any objections to Su Yonglin's launch of the Jinghu Battle.

It can be seen that he is very rich, so rich that Su Yonglin can face a calm battle even when he starts a battle.

Indeed, after eliminating the veterinary class, the Ming Dynasty's fiscal revenue showed a rising trend.

As time goes by, Lin Jingchun feels that Mingguo's tax revenue will never make him feel stretched, and there may be a large-scale fiscal surplus in the future.

When Lin Jingchun thought of having a large amount of savings in his hand, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Even if the money does not belong to him, he cannot use it at will, but he still feels happy.

He likes the feeling of purses, likes saving, likes treasure, but doesn't like spending.

After all, I was afraid of being poor and had sequelae.

However, for Su Yonglin, the fiscal surplus is good, but it is better to do more things and invest more money to upgrade the industry.

He renovated the superstructure in order to prevent the Ming Dynasty from interfering with the leap of the basic economic foundation of the Ming Dynasty and not to hinder the broadening of the class leap brought about by the industrial upgrading of the Ming Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, it means not allowing superstructure to react to economic development.

Mingguo needs to get rid of the situation where the primary industry dominates the national economy in the future, and needs to build a secondary industry to stimulate productivity and domestic demand and break the ceiling of development.

Only by stepping into the threshold of developing the secondary industry and allowing people to truly see the huge changes brought to Ming Dynasty by the development of the secondary industry, can the Ming Dynasty truly push it on an unconceived path.

It is limited to relying solely on agriculture to drive domestic demand and productivity.

When the old vegetarian class was eradicated and the productivity of the liberated agricultural production units was raised to the extreme, we could no longer continue to make the cake.

At this moment, if a new breakthrough point in productivity cannot be found, the country will inevitably embark on the road of involuntary rebates and then give birth to a new class of foster profit.

This is how all dynasties have come through, and then they go into dead ends and have another cycle of reincarnation.

Su Yonglin can guarantee that if such signs occur when he is alive, he can immediately suppress, continue the revolution, and maintain the status quo, but he cannot guarantee that such situations can still be maintained after he dies.

Without his strong personal prestige and charm, the successor cannot unite the entire oppressed class like him to launch a decisive battle against the oppressors, eliminate the veterinary class, and maintain the maximization of the existing productivity.

So by that time, the situation will be very serious.

The window period for industrial upgrading will never be too long. If the window period is hindered by the selfishness of the vegetarian class and the window period is closed, then what is left for the Ming Dynasty will be to re-enter the old path of the First Empire of the Qin and Han Dynasties and the Second Empire of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

That was definitely not what Su Yonglin wanted to see.
