Chapter 258 The establishment of the Zhaoyi Army(1/3)
These powerful words made General Deng stunned.
Obviously, General Deng Yuanjing did not expect that Zhao Haiping would come up with such a way to break the situation.
On the one hand, it is because General Deng Yuanjing is also an ancient after all, and the Dasheng Dynasty was also a feudal dynasty shrouded in the shadow of loyalty and patriotism. Therefore, although General Deng surpassed the times in military theory, in these ideas, he is not the same as General Han Fuyue.
Too many differences.
On the other hand, it is also because the situation faced by General Han Fuyue at this time is indeed an unsolvable situation.
When future generations study history, they often sigh with regret for General Han Fuyue, and there are two issues that are discussed the most.
The first is, if General Han Fuyue had not been recalled by the Twelve Gold Medals, would General Han Fuyue have been able to complete the great feat of recapturing Yanyun and directly attacking Huanglong?
The second is, if General Han Fuyue refused to obey the imperial edict, or even immediately wore a yellow robe, how far could he go?
Regarding the first question, later research generally tends to be optimistic.
Because General Han Fuyue had already defeated the elite forces of the Jin people at that time, and even the Jin people themselves had already made plans to withdraw from Yanyun. The turning point of the war had passed, and further fighting would only lead to a decline in the value of the war.
It's getting smoother and smoother.
But regarding the second question, later research has generally tended to be pessimistic.
The reason why General Deng said that this matter was almost impossible was because he analyzed it from a professional perspective as a professional military strategist.
After all, his army is not a private army. If he wants to rebel, he needs a stable base, a continuous supply of troops, sufficient logistics and food supplies, and a compelling enough reason for rebellion.
General Han Fuyue did not have any of these.
As General Deng analyzed, the army led by General Han Fuyue at this time was provided with logistical food and grass by the imperial court. Once the imperial court ran out of food, the army would eat horses and chew it, which would cost a lot of money. Where would the food and grass come from?
Moreover, once there is a rebellion, the other armies do not need to encircle and suppress them, they only need to retreat, leaving General Han Fuyue's army exposed to the Jin army, waiting for opportunities.
At that time, we will be attacked from two sides, there will be no food and grass, and the soldiers will inevitably lose their morale, and defeat will be a foregone conclusion.
So from the perspective of General Han Fuyue, obeying the order was the only option at that time.
Because by obeying the order, firstly, you can protect the army and prevent the Jin fisherman from benefiting; secondly, you can show your loyalty to the emperor and serve the country; thirdly, even if you retreat, as long as you don't die, you will have a chance to come back in the future.
Unfortunately, the only thing he miscalculated was the shamelessness of Qi Gaozong and Qin Huizhi.
Zhao Haiping has seen the outcome of going back, and naturally he doesn't want to make the same mistake again. Even if there is a possibility of betrayal, defeat, and death, he will fight to the end.
If the historical General Han Fuyue rebelled, he would no longer be General Han Fuyue; and if the players in the dungeon still follow the script, they would no longer be players.
But even so, the problems General Han Fuyue encountered at that time were still there.
How does Zhao Haiping solve it?
In this regard, Zhao Haiping's answer was, I will solve it how the Jurchens solved it!
At the beginning, the Jurchens relied on 2,500 horsemen to expand eastward and southward from the land of black mountains and white waters in more than ten years, and carried out the Jingping Revolution.
At this time, the Jin people's 100,000 troops were defeated in my hands. Even if I only have 2,500 people left, why can't I destroy the Jin and then Qi?
These words made General Deng Yuanjing speechless.
It sounds... quite reasonable...
After all, he is just a heroic spirit at this time, only responsible for giving advice to the players. The player himself is the one who really makes the decision.
Therefore, General Deng could only watch the plot in this historical slice develop in a direction that no one could predict...
Zhao Haiping made up his mind and said to the messenger outside the tent: "Send the order, beat the drum and gather the generals!"
…
Not long after, all the generals arrived.
Zhao Haiping looked around at the generals in the account.
Among these generals, there are different compositions. There are relatives of his sons and nephews, generals of the Qi Dynasty who brought troops from other armies to defect, leaders of rebels who had previously surrendered or leaders of stragglers, and some who were directly appointed by the imperial court.
A general under the control of the emperor.
At this time, the composition of the army in Zhao Haiping's hands was roughly the same.
There were troops who had been with him during the southern crossing, troops from other armies who came to defect, rebels who surrendered, and prisoners who had been reformed after defeating the puppet army.
In short, the composition of the entire army is quite complex.
Zhao Haiping's status in the army at this time was no different from that of General Han Fuyue. This strong army was trained by him, and it was naturally united because of him.
Without him, the various departments in this army will soon fall apart.
If Qin Huizhi and Emperor Gou use some methods to deliberately divide and dismantle this army, then the collapse of this army will come faster.
And once there is no Zhao Haiping as the supreme commander, and no people's ambition to regain the lost ground, this army will inevitably corrupt and degenerate very quickly. In just a few years, it will be ruined and will have no combat effectiveness.
Zhao Haiping didn't need to think about all this. He had already seen clearly what happened after the death of General Han Fuyue in history.
At this time, all the generals in the Chinese army's tent looked at Zhao Haiping, wondering what he meant.
Some generals looked unbearable: "General...have you decided to withdraw?"
The other generals also had nothing to say.
Yes, what can we do if we don’t retreat?
Twelve gold medals, coupled with a harshly worded edict, basically meant that as long as he did not retreat, it would immediately be equivalent to a serious crime of treason.
Zhao Haiping looked around at the generals.
He is just a passer-by in this slice of history. There is no way he can know all his lieutenants like General Han Fuyue. But after training for such a long time and experiencing great wars together, he already has a certain understanding of these lieutenants.
understanding.
He had no way of knowing how many people he could take away, but he definitely wouldn't be able to take away none of them.
Zhao Haiping took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Everyone.
"You have been by my side since I was training soldiers to conquer gold. I have fought many big battles, hard battles, and vicious battles. It can be said that you have been with me through life and death.
“We fought in the south and the north, saved many dangerous situations, and saved many innocent people!
"And now, the imperial court is asking us to withdraw our troops.
"Twelve gold medals, retreat is a foregone conclusion.
"However, you may not guess the results after withdrawing the troops.
"I can tell you clearly what the year ahead will look like.
"I will be deprived of all my official positions and die unjustly in prison. And those of you may be forced to retire, may be killed, may be transferred to other places, may be suppressed, and will lose all your ambitions.
"And this army will be split up, disintegrated, and rapidly weakened. Within a few years, it will no longer have the military discipline and strong combat power to 'freeze to death without demolishing houses, starve to death without looting', and become harmonious."
It was no different to those Xiang troops who were about to collapse at the first touch.
"This is the fate we will face after returning to Beijing."
The generals were horrified when they heard this: "General, are you being serious?
"The general is the pillar of the country. Even if the imperial court wants to negotiate peace with the Jin people, the general is a man of great merit. How dare they kill him without permission?"
Zhao Haiping shook his head slightly: "How do you know the terms of peace proposed by the Jin people?
"There are two clauses in this clause. The first is that I must be killed before we can make peace! The second is that after the peace is concluded, Qin Huizhi cannot become prime minister without guilt!
"What's more, on the occasion of a great victory, the officials suddenly want to take back military power. What does it mean? First, the officials no longer want to fight, and second, the officials no longer trust the generals!
"Think about it carefully, if Qin Hui is here, if we go back, we will be the slaves of the sword, and I will be the meat of the fish.
"Do you want to place your life and death on the mercy of people like Qin Huizhi?"
The generals looked at each other, speechless.
Yes, do you want to leave your life and fortune to luck?
They, the generals, know better than anyone else what kind of virtues the ministers in the court, headed by Qin Huizhi, have.
As for the current official, can he suppress Qin Huizhi and others and protect the generals?
I'm afraid it's impossible.
Since the founding of the Qi Dynasty, the Qi Dynasty has used culture to suppress military force. Generals who command troops outside often regard the threat from the enemy as greater than that of the enemy.
After all, when the Jin people came, they only burned, killed, looted, and ceded territory to pay compensation to satisfy their appetite, so they temporarily retreated; but if the warriors' power increased, they would have to wear yellow robes!
At this time, the official already had the intention to seize military power, which meant that he no longer supported or trusted the generals at the front.
Many signals are superimposed and analyzed...
If the teacher returns to the court at this time, it will indeed be a disaster.
Of course, most generals still don't believe it. The officials are so confused that they really want to kill General Han Fuyue unjustly? This doesn't make sense!
But as Zhao Haiping said, it is indeed possible to survive, but that is just a fluke.
After we really go back, we will be the slaves and I will be the flesh and blood. Are you pinning your hopes on the kindness of people like Qin Huizhi? Or are you pinning your hopes on the wisdom of people like Qi Gaozong?
No matter how I think about it, I feel like I am seeking death.
A deputy general's voice was trembling: "Could it be that General Han summoned us this time to pay for his funeral?
To be continued...
