In the 40,000-strong army, because there are still 10,000 disabled soldiers in Zhenjiang, the 40,000-strong army was divided into 15,000 people and the remaining 25,000 people were given to Jiankang.
So Li Xianzhong controlled the army of Jiankang House and Wang Fang controlled the army of Zhenjiang House, respectively.
So the situation before Shao Hongyuan’s dispatch was that there were 70,000 imperial troops in Lin ‘an and 50,000 troops in Zhenjiang, Jiankang and Chizhou.
The completion of the initial reconstruction of the Jianghuai theater in the Southern Song Dynasty once again possessed the confidence and possibility of theoretical confrontation with the invasion of the army.
Just a theory.
But even the theoretical army has been set up, it is better to look at it less. It seems that everything is developing in a good direction, but who knows that the bandits on Jiangnan West Road broke out at this time
Even worse, the Southern Song Dynasty was defeated.
The main force of the Jinghu theater launched the extermination operation, and the main force of the Jinghu theater was almost destroyed, which also brought trouble to the Jianghuai theater.
With Shao Hongyuan’s downfall of Chizhou army and the downfall of Jianghuai defense line, 50,000 troops stationed in the army were reduced by 10,000.
If the country is also in a state of chaos, this is nothing, then the loss of the Jiujiang army and the Jingnanfu army will be really terrible.
Jinghu Theater is directly facing the pressure of Henan Province to face the 100,000 troops of Henan Corps.
Originally, relying on the dense water network in the south of the Yangtze River and the excellent defense body built by Yue Fei earlier, the Privy Council assessed that the defensive situation of Jinghu theater would not face the situation of Jianghuai theater in the Song War
Moreover, the original Song people did not know that the original army was so strong that it could take root, and there was no similar psychological preparation. Now that they know it, they will naturally not make the same mistake.
In the future, fighting with the army is mainly about defense, not attack. Try to build a defensive body in the city and the front, and try to avoid the field battle.
In this way, the army’s combat effectiveness and cavalry advantages can be curbed to a considerable extent, and the dense water network and the strong city and fortress army of 100,000 Henan Corps troops can not cause a devastating blow to the army in the Jinghu theater even if they are dispatched.
Moreover, the way for the army to break through the Song Jun defense line in the Jianghuai theater was to surprise Liu Yong by surprise, which did not make Liu Yong’s troops collapse quickly and did not delay the army.
However, the Jinghu theater does not have such conditions for the army to realize surprise tactics. There are fortified castles everywhere and there is no center for them to destroy directly. The army is doomed not to replicate the victory of Jianghuai theater in Jinghu theater.
The Privy Council led by Zhang Jun assessed that the military strength in the Jinghu theater was sufficient
After Shi Hao led the Privy Council, he agreed with Zhang Jun’s view that Song Jun should not fight in the field, but should keep the defensive body in the center of the city and show the main ways of fighting to drag down the military logistics and consume the effective strength of the army.
It’s always the main way of fighting, that is, you can defend the wall and clear the field without fighting.
This is the best way to defend Dasong until Song Jun is properly trained and its combat effectiveness is enhanced.
However, the bandits on Jiangnan West Road completely changed this pattern.
Not only did Zhang Jun not come to carry out the plan of reorganizing the army, but the main force of the Jinghu theater almost collapsed, and the strategic defense barrier of the Jinghu theater almost failed, so it was placed in front of the army.
At this time, Shi Hao has realized that the situation is not good. The war situation on Jiangnan West Road has greatly weakened the military strength of the Jinghu theater, which has caused a strategic hole in the Jinghu defense line.
At this moment, if the army launches a strategic attack and directly penetrates from the Jinghu theater, it will be enough to stop the Southern Song Dynasty.
Jingxi Road, Jinghu Road and Jinghu Road can’t stop the army from attacking. At that time, the Jianghuai Theater and the Sichuan-Sichuan Theater will not be connected at the end, and their respective fighting forces will be a little stronger. It is estimated that the Southern Song Dynasty will be over.
Soon Shi Hao and others also learned about the specific situation of Jiangnan West Road, and learned that the bandit troops grew bigger and occupied almost the whole Jiangnan West Road, and the rapid development momentum was quite scary.
This is not only what they knew before, but also that Longxing House has been occupied, and most of the west Jiangnan Road has been controlled by bandit troops. They control several state capitals and millions of people have been out of the control of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Whenever they are given a little, they can pull up a large army with a little brains, which poses a great threat to the national security of the Southern Song Dynasty.
This is not an ordinary bandit. This is not something that can be solved with ordinary heavy punches.
Shi Hao was sweating all over.
He realized that the former ministers had killed Zhang Jun, and this ordeal almost ruined the Southern Song Dynasty.
Both this ordeal and the privy Council failed to perform their duties well because of this turmoil for the better part of the month, and it was only at this time that the important news was known to the court
At this moment, the bandit troops have already lost their land in Jiangnan West Road!
It’s broken!
Shi Hao has completely understood the seriousness of the matter.
So Shi Hao prayed that the army would not learn the news so quickly, and prayed that the army would launch a strategic attack because of Su Yonglin’s large-scale anti-corruption action, and immediately reported to Zhao Shen and informed the whole court
He needs Zhao Shen and all the officials to confirm a question.
The most important thing is definitely not to liquidate the radical war faction, to expand the political struggle and drive the radical war faction out of the court, but to immediately fill the gap in the defense line caused by the large-scale military downsizing in the Jinghu theater and try to curb the continued development of bandits on Jiangnan West Road.
If the main force of Jinghu theater can’t make up for it, once the country has bad intentions, it will immediately attack the Southern Song Dynasty.
If the bandits on Jiangnan West Road can’t be contained, a large piece of land in the Southern Song Dynasty will be missing, and disputes will continue to exhaust the national strength, which may not be settled.
This is when the most serious fact.
He immediately asked Zhao Shen to ask Zhao Shen to immediately mobilize Lin ‘an imperial army to supplement the military strength of the Jinghu theater, rebuild the Jinghu defense line as quickly as possible, and avoid the army to react and launch a strategic attack on the Jinghu theater in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Chapter 9 You are really disloyal to me.
Although the two countries signed the Lin ‘an Treaty, Shi Hao couldn’t believe the credibility of China, especially Su Yonglin.
He also needs his ministers to immediately realize that this is a political struggle between life and death for the Southern Song Dynasty. Please put it aside and get down to business at once. Don’t continue to hunt down Zhang Jun’s figurehead or we will die together!
Zhao Shen also broke out in a cold sweat after receiving Shi Haobiao.
Most of Jiangnan West Road was occupied by bandit troops?
This mother is a bandit?
This is a separatist warlord!
Zhao Shen immediately realized that he had greatly underestimated the influence of this bandit troops and greatly overestimated the resistance and reaction of local governments on Jiangnan West Road, and missed the opportunity to sit back and watch the bandit troops occupy more than half of Jiangnan West Road.
Now this bandit army is definitely not a simple bandit army, but a warlord who threatened Zhao Jiazheng in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Zhao Shen was afraid and annoyed to ask Shang Province to immediately confirm the significance of this war.
This is not a war against bandits, this is a counter-insurgency war, which is about the life and death of the country.
For this stall, I went to the palace to meet Zhao Shen and demanded that the political struggle be enlarged and Zhang Jun’s remaining party be thoroughly eliminated. Three officials, Zhao Shen, without saying anything, went directly to prison and sentenced him to ten years’ property confiscation.
If you dare to say such things again, it will delay business. This is the scene.
Baiguan was afraid and trembling, and he never dared to clean up Zhang Jun’s figurehead again.
At the same time, Zhao Shen personally entered the Wanshou Palace, found Zhao Gou and told Zhao Gou about it.
He said it was euphemistic, but Zhao Gou still heard that the bandits on Jiangnan West Road failed in the first wave of conquest in the imperial court, and now a second conquest is needed to solve the problem
Zhao Gou didn’t care about Zhao Shen’s words. He knew exactly what the problem was, so he turned pale with fear and pointed at Zhao Shen’s nose and scolded him
He rebuked Zhao Shen for giving the throne to Zhao Shen so early, without taking into account that Zhao Shen root was being pushed.
Zhao Shen didn’t care about this, but looked at Zhao Gou eagerly.
"The Jinghu army suffered heavy losses, and the Jiangbei defense line was empty. At present, Xiangyang area still maintained its defense force. Once the news of the bandits entered the country, it was known that my Jinghu army suffered heavy losses, and the consequences were unimaginable. Dasong would be cut off."
Zhao Gou is in a hurry.
"Then what are you doing here? Go to work! Fill the gap and destroy the bandit troops! Go quickly! "
"Too emperor I need the army! I need many, many troops! "
Zhao Shen eager way "Shi Hao suggested that I deploy Lin ‘an imperial army to fill the lack of Jinghu, and I can mobilize the imperial army to have thirty thousand, which is far from enough. I need to mobilize the troops in front of the temple to help! I still hope that Tai Huang will look at Da Song and promise me! "
Zhao Shen worships Zhao Gou.
Zhao Gou paused for a moment, fidgeting and walking around in circles.
Boy, I knew you were upset and kind, but I didn’t think it was my idea to fight.
Zhao conceived to refuse, but he thought it would be no good for him if he refused. What if Da Song State finished his old age?
No matter how crazy Zhao Shen is, he won’t give him any troops … but not too much!
So Zhao Gou made a decision.
"I can’t give you a message. If the army comes again, it will be broken. If there is no one to protect me, I can’t … if it’s too little, then I’ll give you twenty thousand people!"
"Too emperor! I need more troops! More! The more troops, the better. I promise I will protect my life! "
Zhao Shen is eager to worship the request.
Zhao Gou even stepped back eagerly, "you protect me? How do you protect me? What protects me? You can’t even protect yourself and protect me? I know you want an army, so I don’t want it?
Now I’ve given you 20 thousand, and I can’t give you the remaining 20 thousand! That’s my guards! Do you want me to have no army? Or do you want to hurt me? ! "
