Chapter 35 The Road of Heroes
After watching Zhang Yong lead the army away for a long time, Wang Xiaolie let out a long sigh.
Cao Zhiyan on the side said: "Xiao Sheren, the thief has gone, why are you sighing?"
Wang Xiaolie said: "Zong Liushou wanted to rely on the rebels in the city to repel the gold thieves. Although it was a good idea, he was afraid that it would not be possible. It is not surprising that Zhang used it to grab food. There are not many troops in the city now, and most of them are short of food. But he came
With only three hundred men, he fought without courage and was ridiculed for nothing. How can the other armies in the city be any better if Zhang uses this? Most of them are probably incompetent like this."
Cao Zhiyan nodded, not knowing whether he understood or not.
Wang Xiaolie ordered the porters to pick up grain again and went straight back to his barracks. After returning to the barracks, he arranged for people to guard everywhere and not allow anyone to come near. On the days in Kaifeng, it is better not to cause trouble.
After these days of understanding, Wang Xiaolie has a general understanding of the army in Kaifeng City. In addition to the regular army of Liushoufu, other armies can be roughly divided into two categories. One category is formed by the defeat of the Song army and taking advantage of the situation to recruit men. The other category
, the leader is an idler who develops and thrives in troubled times. Those who are truly capable of fighting are mostly formed by defeated armies. Especially the leaders usually have military experience.
The most powerful ones are the Eight-Character Army led by Wang Yan, and the other is Kong Yanwei. Wang Yan was originally from the Western Army. After the army was defeated, he went to the Taihang Mountains to recruit rebels. After hundreds of battles, he finally formed a self-contained Eight-Character Army. Kong Yanwei was a rogue.
He was born and joined the army in his early years. When the Jin army broke through Kaifeng Prefecture, it was already under the jurisdiction of the East and West Road. His troops were defeated early, and later he recruited defeated troops and refugees to form his own power.
This is what Wang Xiaolie paid attention to. Leading troops at this time actually requires professional knowledge. Without professional knowledge, even if you recruit people, it will be difficult to form a strong army. He is also leading troops, so he naturally understands.
There are now more than 600 people, how should we organize them, how many officials should be appointed, what kind of training should be done in peacetime, and so on. How to combine peacetime management with wartime, how to handle military logistics, everything is actually a matter of knowledge. Without military experience, if there is no one to teach,
It takes a long time to summarize from practice. Where does Wang Xiaolie have the time?
Today Zhang Yong is an example. He has no strength and cannot effectively command. After all, he is a joke.
At night, the army cooked a chicken, and Wang Xiaoxue sat alone under the night sky and drank. There were many things that he had to think about clearly.
As long as Zongze is still there, Wang Xiaolie will not leave the capital. In fact, not only Wang Xiaolie, but also many leaders in Kaifeng City think so. How long can Zongze last? One month? Two months? Or three months?
? Not sure. In these days, he can't stay idle in the capital. Wang Xiaolie needs to learn the knowledge of leading an army and build a strong army.
There is no moon in the sky, but there are many stars. The night sky is deep and mysterious. The evening breeze blows with a coolness, which makes people feel particularly comfortable.
Wang Xiaolie took a sip of wine and looked at the night sky with an indescribable feeling in his heart. For the first time since arriving in this world, he was in the mood to appreciate the scenery of this world. This world is very good, but this time is not good.
To the north of the Huaihe River in the Qinling Mountains, all roads were attacked by war. How many families were destroyed and killed, how many people were plundered as slaves, prosperity was like a passing cloud, and the world was in chaos. This was an era of ruined countries and families, but also an era of heroes. Good man, since
It’s time to rise up and rebuild the world.
Why didn't he go to Zhao Gou? At the beginning, Wang Xiaolie was born out of his natural dislike of Zhao Gou in his previous life. After so many days, he gradually figured it out. In these troubled times, are there any heroes in the world? The Song Dynasty was in a complete mess from the beginning.
, more than ten years later, why did we fight against the Jin Dynasty? It was not because the people were unwilling to sink, and they raised up the Song Dynasty.
Just when the Song Army was rising and gradually had the strength to fight the Jin Army, Zhao Gou sued for peace, ruining the good situation. From then on, as the Jin Dynasty's rule consolidated in the north, the Song Dynasty's own rule gradually tightened, and there was no more
Opportunity for the Northern Expedition.
There is no doubt that the army of the Song Dynasty has big problems. In the previous life, when talking about the Song Dynasty, people often said that they were cowardly. This is a joke, and naturally it cannot be taken seriously. If you have the strength, who would be cowardly? In the final analysis, it is just that you can't defeat others.
That’s it. All the other arguments and various reasons can’t stop this army from defeating others. If it can defeat others, who will be afraid?
Why can't we defeat it? The most common theory is that the Song Dynasty respected culture and suppressed military force. This cannot be taken seriously. It is just a literati's statement, and why this statement came out requires a question mark first. Those who put it forward know nothing about military affairs at all. They cannot start from the perspective of military affairs.
Professional opinions can only be expressed in broad terms, with countless evidences to be found and reasons that cannot be explained clearly.
Of course, military problems must be analyzed and solved militarily. Politics will affect the military, such as insufficient finances, leaders giving random instructions, backward equipment, etc. This was obviously not the case in the Song Dynasty. From the time of the founding of the country, facing the Khitan
It couldn't be defeated. In other words, the Song Dynasty had big military problems from system to execution. Moreover, after the Jingkang Rebellion, the Southern Song Dynasty did not solve it.
Wang Xiaolie couldn't explain clearly at this time. He didn't have the knowledge to study these issues in depth in his previous life. In fact, the research on China's military history has always been unsatisfactory. The only way to solve the problem is to rely on his own practice. But Wang Xiaolie knew that professional issues
It needs to be resolved professionally, and you cannot listen to the nonsense talk of laymen. What is the military incompetence caused by respecting civility and suppressing military force? Historical facts from home and abroad do not support this conclusion.
Regarding military and politics, you cannot listen to the words of literati. Most literati do not understand these at all. They either quote scriptures, or make imaginative remarks and talk about it. In actual practice, it is of no use at all. Both politics and military affairs require practice. The literati discuss it.
, listen to what is useful, and laugh away what is useless.
During the most chaotic period at the turn of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou himself was the biggest drag on Jin's war. Even if he had the strength to fight against Jin, he would not be able to fight against him once he was under Zhao Gou. Not only did Zhao Gou himself lack the courage, but the Song Dynasty also
The military system itself is also a big problem.
If you want to save the world, you must start from scratch. The official family of the Song Dynasty cannot be relied on.
Taking a gentle breath, Wang Xiaolie picked up the wine glass and took a sip. When he came to this world, he not only wanted to recover the lost land, but also returned the world to a bright and prosperous world. Can he do it? Wang Xiaolie didn't know.
The stars in the sky are twinkling, and a Milky Way hangs overhead, which is truly spectacular. The Milky Way is also called Tianhan, which is the source of the name Hanshui, and Hanshui is the source of the Han Dynasty. Throughout the dynasties of China, from the founding of the country to the destruction of the country, the Milky Way can truly suppress
The only one in the surrounding area was the Han Dynasty. The Milky Way in the sky and the country of the Central Plains on the earth have a secret connection.
Wang Xiaolie doesn't have much military knowledge. If he wants to make a big difference in this world, he must study and learn as soon as possible. After Zhang Yong's trouble today, Wang Xiaolie realized this.
It was the second year of Jianyan. Not only was the Song Dynasty overwhelmed by the defeat, but the huge victory also overwhelmed the Jin Dynasty. Wang Xiaolie still had time. He was familiar with this era and combined with the knowledge of his previous life to develop a real army.
Strengthen the army and write a different history.
