Chapter 131: Prepare for danger in times of peace
()Song Qing came to the military camp and certainly had the idea of Han Shizhong, but he mainly studied the training situation of the army with the generals.
Many generals disagree with the invasion of the Jin soldiers. The main reason is that the area currently occupied by Liangshan is still far from the border, and there is also a whole Hebei Road in front. Even if the officers and soldiers are incompetent, it is impossible for the Jin soldiers to attack immediately.
As for the invasion of the Jin soldiers, it was obvious that Liangshan men and horses could not leave their territory to save the imperial men, so it seems a bit early to make it so nervous now.
But based on discipline, no one showed any abnormality and carefully carried out various tasks arranged by Song Qing.
Song Qing is not a god, so it is impossible for him to know what others think. What he has to do now is to prepare for the future. As the generals thought, it is impossible for him to send troops to rescue the imperial men and horses. At the same time, the Liangshan men and horses are still mainly infantry. Let these infantry fight against the Jin people of the Qing cavalry. What is the difference between letting his subordinates die?
The only reason he emphasized military training was that he hoped to fight the Jin soldiers outside the city of Jinan to offset the advantages of the Jin soldiers and cavalry with the city walls. Then he further expanded the results of the battle and eventually drove the Jin soldiers out.
Because the selected soldiers were all jing, the number of people selected from the states is only a little over 50,000, which is still a little worse than Song Qing's idea.
But according to Song Qing's request, the military's training has been fully carried out and has added a certain degree of intensity.
After listening to the reports of the generals, Song Qing did not make any comments, but made a bold assumption to the generals, what if the Jin soldiers suddenly came to the city?
The generals present can be regarded as having experienced many battles. Song Qing believes that they will not stare at each other and talk nonsense.
Lin Chong was the first to speak: "If the Jin soldiers come to attack, we should rely on the city walls, consume the spirit of the Jin soldiers, and then find an opportunity to annihilate the enemy."
Hu Yanzhuo frowned and said, "We only have five thousand cavalry. As the General Administration said, the Jin soldiers are all cavalry. How can we annihilate them?"
Dong Ping said: "Strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and use the roars to disturb their food channels. Without food and grass, what can they do if they have a million troops?"
All the generals expressed their thoughts one after another, but Song Qing did not immediately express his thoughts. A good commander must be able to listen to what others say and learn from the strengths of the family in order to make the wisest judgment.
Han Shizhong didn't know what everyone was talking about, but just judged what topic was being debated from the occasional voice.
At this time, a Lin Chong's personal soldier walked over with a kettle in one hand and a stack of tea bowls in the other and said, "Brother Han, help me bring the tea in."
Han Shizhong thought he had heard it wrong, and it was not until the personal soldier shouted the second time that he was sure that he was calling him. He quickly agreed happily, grabbed the heaviest kettle, and followed the personal soldier to the tent happily.
The discussion in the tent continued, and no one seemed to pay attention to the entry and exit of Han Shizhong and the other two orderly soldiers, but Han Shizhong could feel the young man in the lead's eyes rolling around him.
What a sharp look. No need to ask, he must be the head of Liangshan, and he is indeed young enough.
Han Shizhong thought in his heart, poured tea for everyone, turned around and waited to walk out, suddenly saw Lin Chong wave his hand to him, as if he had something to say to him, and hurriedly walked over with a kettle.
Lin Chong turned his head and said softly: "Stand behind me and listen to what the manager said."
Of course, Han Shizhong was desperate to ask for it, but he was puzzled in his heart. He had no achievements yet, but the deputy commander seemed to value him very much. Why is this?
There was a personal soldier behind Lin Chong, which did not attract anyone's attention.
At this time, everyone was almost done. Wu Yong glanced at Song Qing and said, "I wonder what good strategies do the general manager have to defend the enemy?"
Song Qing nodded and said, "I dare not say good strategies. After all, there is a constant change on the battlefield. Without that strategy, it is unchanged. I just think it is a summary for everyone! First of all, Brother Dong Ping said that the walls and clear the fields. Jin soldiers came from afar. Logistics supply must be a problem. I think they are nothing more than fighting to support their war and relying on plunder to support their army, so we can do something about this."
"Secondly, in terms of defense, the main force in this battle is infantry, and the cavalry is only used as auxiliary forces, and they must not be sent out until the last moment."
"At the current height of the city wall, increase it by two meters. At the same time, within a radius of thirty miles around the city, dig a small hole in a few steps, so that the speed of the war horse can be limited to the greatest extent. In addition, it is our secret weapon, but I will keep it here for a while, and everyone will know what it is."
"The last sentence is still the same, to raise a thousand soldiers for a while, as long as we train our soldiers well, whether they are Jin or Liao soldiers, they will never return."
The generals stood up with a "boom" and clasped their fists and said, "Please don't worry, we will live up to the expectations of the General Manager."
Song Qing nodded, then looked at Han Shizhong intentionally or unintentionally, got up and strode out.
Han Shizhong did not pay attention to Song Qing's eyes, and was still recalling Song Qing's words just now. Will the Jin soldiers really come here?
Han Shizhong was not those pedantic literati, and he would only place his hopes on that meaningless covenant. He was more inclined to Song Qing's idea of being prepared for danger in times of peace. And as a soldier, he knew better that the aliens' peeping of the Central Plains. His participation in the Liangshan army was entirely out of his love for the army. It was not that he had completely turned to Liangshan and asked him to fight with the imperial men. It was obviously impossible, but the Jin soldiers were exceptions.
Resisting foreign invasions is an unshirkable responsibility for every man.
If all Song Qing said was true, he would rush to the battlefield without hesitation.
At some point, he was the only one left in the tent. He woke up and was about to leave, but Lin Chong walked in again. It turned out that they were going to send the supervisor.
When Han Shizhong saw Lin Chong, he finally couldn't help asking: "General, please forgive me for your words. Will Jin Guo really come here?"
Lin Chong nodded and said, "Don't look at the young manager. So far, what he said has not come true. Because you have led soldiers, I kept you. You have heard what the manager just now, tell me what you think? I boldly say that we Liangshan people don't have so many taboos, and you won't blame you if you make mistakes."
Han Shizhong pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "As the general manager said, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, nothing is unchanged. If I were to defend the city, I would not think of a better way. Some of them were just a small suggestion."
Before Han Shizhong finished speaking, Lin Chong was inevitably a little disappointed because it was Song Qing who asked him to come back to take the exam to compare with Han Shizhong. However, after Han Shizhong finished speaking, Lin Chong couldn't help but feel interested.
"Oh! What's the suggestion? Let's hear it"
Han Shizhong had forgotten his identity at this time, and completely entered the corner se. He cleared his throat and said, "The way the general manager ordered people to cover potholes and resist the speed of cavalry is a wonderful idea. However, after thinking about it, this can only resist the Jin soldiers for a while. If everyone in the Jin soldiers takes a small sandbag, they can quickly level the potholes."
"So I suggest that the area where the traps are dug is expanded, and at the same time, the virtual and real are added, and the ambush is added to disturb them from time to time. As the way, when the Jin soldiers arrive at the city, they have become tired soldiers and have no aura."
"Of course, this is just a humble opinion, but from the perspective below, the manager may have already had a good plan to defeat the enemy, but it is not convenient to make it clear before the time comes."
After Han Shizhong said this, Lin Chong couldn't help but nodded in his heart, observing it in detail, and learning from others. The general manager was indeed accurate enough to see people. Han Shizhong was definitely a handsome man.
After letting Han Shizhong go down, Lin Chong immediately wrote down Han Shizhong's words just now and ordered someone to send them to Song Qing.
Song Qing did not have any special ability to observe people? He gave Han Shizhong a comment from the history he knew. After reading the notes written by Lin Chong, he completely felt relieved.
Although Han Shizhong has not yet shown his strength, gold will shine there.
The weather is getting warmer day by day, and there is only news from the Jin Kingdom that it is clearing out the remnants of the Liao Kingdom, and there is no sign of sending troops to attack Song for the time being.
Although there was no news of the Jin Dynasty sending troops, Song Qing did not dare to take it lightly. He ordered Zhu Wu's spy and Cao Zheng's inner guard to increase the intensity of reconnaissance and always pay attention to the actions of the Jin Dynasty. He tried to send the news back as soon as the Jin Dynasty sent troops.
At this time, news came from Mingzhou and Quanzhou that the court was practicing the navy.
Upon receiving this news, Song Qing couldn't help but laugh. It was probably Zhao Huan's idea, but you just remembered to form a navy. Don't you think it's too late?
There was no movement in the Jin Dynasty, and even if the Jin soldiers entered the Central Plains, they would not be able to attack Jinan Prefecture in one go, so Song Qing decided to go to Dengzhou again.
Not only did he always pay attention to the navy there, but he also had the sweet potatoes he stayed there for Chen Dong to try planting. Both of these are related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Only by seeing them with his own eyes can he feel at ease.
Song Qing's son is getting stronger and stronger day by day. If he is not too young, he wants to keep his child with him.
The Mingyue sisters' belly also began to show their worries, which was a sign of prosperity. The happy Song Qing never closed his mouth when he returned to the inner house.
After the arrangements were made at home and outside, Song Qing set off for Dengzhou.
After the continuous attacks of Liangshan people, the imperial court has completely lost control of the prefectures in the Shandong Peninsula, which is currently under the jurisdiction of Liangshan.
In this autonomous region, there was no forced tax collection by the government, and no fraud and oppression by local tyrants and evil gentry. It can be said that the people here live in the only paradise in the entire Song Dynasty.
For this reason, refugees from all over the country flocked here, and some local prefects even reported to Song Qing that the prisoners sent were no longer planning to return to their hometowns, and even sent messages to let their families move together.
In just one year, the land of Shandong has shown a prosperous scene. Farming is about to begin.
