"What does Jiang Ning say about the war in Yanbei?"
Lin Fu put down the charcoal in his hand and asked Lin Mengde gently.
Lin Fu held such a high position that he was given the Purple Reward, and he was one of the few people in Jiangdong County who held power. Even in the entire Dai Viet Dynasty, there were only a few powerful ministers who held tens of thousands of elite soldiers.
Lin Fu had a bad reputation among the Qingliu scholars, but no blind person would come up to him and upset him. At the same time, he also decided that he would not hear Jiang Ning's Qingliu rumors----when the court
When selecting scholars through the imperial examination, scholars and clans, powerful officials, and distinguished officials coexisted. Above the temple, the power of scholars was even stronger, and the clear flow of opinions was precisely the weathervane of the temple.
Lin Fu couldn't hear the gossip, but he always paid attention.
The war in Yanbei has always been something he can't let go of. In the Dongyamen Hall, besides the Jianghuai Situation Map, there is also the Yanbei Situation Map - on the contrary, the Huaisi and East China Sea Situation Map is directly related to Huaidong.
Not hung on the wall.
Lin Fu wanted to hear what Jiangning's Qingliu thought of this matter, and hoped to see signs of a change in the court's attitude towards this matter.
"..." Lin Mengde smiled bitterly and said, "It's true that the scholar harmed the country..."
Zhang Xie, Yue Lengqiu and others are quite optimistic about the situation in Yanbei. Lin Fu is aware of this situation - Gu Wuchen, like Lin Fu, is not so optimistic about the situation in Yanbei.
He has a profound understanding of the situation of the Hus in Yandong and Yanxi.
"Tell me and listen..." Lin Fu said.
"Di Shutang's abbreviation states that more than 100,000 Hu cavalry surrounded Datong. Scholars in Jiangning generally believed that more than 100,000 cavalry had exhausted the fighting strength of the Eastern Barbarians. As long as Li Bingbu moved faster in western Liaoning, he would be able to force the Eastern Barbarians to withdraw from Datong.
There are even many people who are optimistic that the battle in western Liaoning can completely resolve the situation in Liaoning!" Lin Mengde said.
"..." Lin Fu said nothing.
Lin Mengde added: "If the powerful officials in the temple have the same experience as the Jiangning scholars, the situation in Yanbei is really dangerous."
Hu Zhiyong sat down and tugged on Lin Mengde's clothes, and whispered: "The princes in the court are not necessarily any better informed than the Jiangning scholars..."
"Ah?" Lin Mengde was slightly startled.
"The military report that your Excellency submitted to the Ministry of War last month has received a response," Hu Zhiyong said, "There is nothing good to say..."
Lin Mengde saw that Lin Fu was in a bad mood, so he stopped talking.
In order to understand the basic situation of the barbarians in Yandong and Yanxi, the Military Intelligence Department sent a number of sentinels disguised as captured Dingkou to sneak into the Northland. It took a lot of effort to get a rough idea.
When Su Hu commanded the border, the Husbands of Yandong who had returned to the Ye Ji tribe had less than 200,000 adults. They were overwhelmed by the frontier army at that time. In ten years, the number of adults would be
Only decrease, not increase.
In the past ten years, the tribes of Yandong, led by Ye Jibu, have fought several fierce battles with their clans and mobilized about 100,000 troops.
In the Yandong Zhuhus who have a clan military system and the soldiers and civilians are integrated, this is almost the limit.
Its standing army is elite, also known as the royal tent army, with only 10,000 soldiers.
The imperial court had always used this method to estimate the military strength of the Hu tribes in Yandong.
The actual situation has changed a lot. First of all, among the captive soldiers, in addition to the strong soldiers who were drawn from the barbarians, there were also slave soldiers who belonged to the regular soldiers, also called guard soldiers. There were even a large number of soldiers who were willing to be driven south by the barbarians to plunder.
The Koreans and other Hu people who were conquered by Ye Jibu, these people are also called "drivers" among the captive soldiers. In the past 20 to 30 years, the Hu tribes in Yandong led by Ye Jibu conquered the east and the west.
The number of young men who begged, seized and surrendered directly was close to one million.
In order to convert these young men into the fighting power of the Donghu people, King Yejier of the Liao Dynasty restructured some of the slave soldiers who had fought with the Donglu people for a long time, so that they could take root in Liaodong as soldiers and soldiers and be incorporated into the army.
They are distinguished from regular soldiers and are called deputy soldiers.
After this restructuring, the Yandong military system was changed to organize the cavalry team at the ratio of "one main soldier, three horses, one auxiliary soldier, and one guard soldier". This ensured that the Donghu people could mobilize quite easily under normal circumstances.
One hundred thousand cavalry, and the ability to mobilize 300,000 cavalry under extreme circumstances.
In addition, in addition to the elite cavalry of the royal tent army, the captive king Yejier also chose to surrender more than 10,000 brave men to form a Han camp as a standing army.
Nowadays, the Donghu people maintain more than 100,000 cavalry in the direction of Datong. Among these more than 100,000 cavalry, in addition to the regular soldiers, deputy soldiers, and retinues recruited from within the Yandong Zhuhu, there are also the Yanxi Zhuhu who have joined the Yeji tribe.
They all sent cavalry to participate - which means that at this time in Liao and Liaoyang, the Donglu seemed to be empty, but they still had strong military mobilization capabilities, which should not be underestimated.
Regarding this point, Lin Fu fully communicated with Li Zhuo through Gao Zongting - Even if the Donglu could mobilize 300,000 troops, the internal economic damage to the Donglu would be great if it takes a little longer, and most of the men
If Dingdu goes to war, production will be wasted.
Donghu was huge at this time, and both east and west were vassal states, making it impossible for them to make a living solely by plundering.
In fact, after the Donglu took control of Liaodong, their social production structure gradually changed from mainly fishing, hunting and plundering, supplemented by farming, to farming, mainly plundering, supplemented by fishing and hunting.
In the 9th year of Chongguan Dynasty, the Donglu clan conscripted troops at the border area. The most fundamental purpose was to seize a sufficient number of farming people from the border area.
Li Zhuo led his troops to advance northward, cautiously, walking on thin ice, but also wanted to delay. Even if the Donglu did not withdraw from Datong, they would still be forced to mobilize more troops and bring down Donghu economically first. They would never be able to defeat Donghu in western Liaoning.
The thought of hastily fighting or even fighting to the death.
Li Zhuo's idea had no market in temples and was isolated.
In order to support Li Zhuo, both Lin Fu and Gu Wuchen wrote to discuss the situation of the barbarians in Yanshan, hoping that the imperial court could re-evaluate the strength of the Donglu troops and make appropriate military deployments.
Lin Fu and Gu Wuchen's submissions naturally fell into the lake, causing ripples and then gradually becoming silent.
Lin Fu heard Zhang Xie's evaluation of the military proposal he submitted from other people's mouths: "The kid from Huaidong got a few military honors by luck, so he started discussing state affairs arbitrarily!"
existence, Zhang Xie and others above the temple directly denied it. In their view, if Dingkou was given away, he should resist and flee. How could he in turn be an accomplice and follow the aliens to plunder the Central Plains?
At the end of the world, those who are awake are always in the minority and are always isolated, while those who live in temples and Emperor Chongguan think they are wise. Now one edict after another is urging Li Zhuo to quickly fight in western Liaoning---
- Without a detailed and full understanding of the huge and profound changes that the Zhuhus in Yandong have undergone in the past ten years, let alone knowing ourselves and the enemy, we can fight a hundred battles without danger, and it will be difficult to maintain the Yanshan defense line.
Hearing Lin Mengde say that the Jiangning Feng Discussion was the same, Lin Fu felt that the future was bleak. He waved his hand and ended the discussion, asking everyone to go back to rest first. He still stayed in the official hall to sit quietly.
Song Jia first helped Lin Fu draft a reply to Jiang Ning, and he drafted it in a moment. Seeing Lin Fu frowning in thought, he said softly: "Should Huaidong make some preparations for the complete collapse of Yanbei's defense line?"
"What preparations do you think we need to make?" Lin Fu asked.
Song Jia said: "If Li Zhuo is defeated, the imperial court will not be able to move the capital in a hurry. It will inevitably call in all the troops to Beijing to help the king. Will Huaidong send troops?" Looking at Lin Fu with dazzling eyes, Er asked boldly and boldly, " Are you willing for Huaidong generals to bleed and die for the Yuan family again?"
Lin Fu raised his head and looked at Song Jia, looking at her charming eyes, which had a strange light that could not be seen in the eyes of ordinary women. He was indifferent to her bold and unbridled temptation, and only asked: "Are you sure that Li Bingbu will meet in western Liaoning?" defeat?"
"When Li Zhuo was in Eastern Fujian, he had the support of Chen Xinbo in the court, so he was able to draw a tie with Duke Wenzhuang. Now, the enemies standing opposite Li Zhuo, except for the Donghu people, Zhang Xie, Hao Zongcheng and others, all want to kill him. Pushing in the fire pit, isolated and helpless in the temple, he wants to fight again, it's difficult!" Song Jia said.
"What do you think of Huaidong's attack on Fujian?" Lin Fu suddenly changed the subject.
"The Yanshan defense line has collapsed, and the Hu cavalry is about to move south. If Huaidong wants to survive and Jiangning cannot be destroyed, it must first defeat the ability of Zhejiang and Fujian to advance north. This is something you will do no matter how cruel it is, I am a little girl, What can you say?" Song Jia said, "Even my father would never agree to the decisive battle between the Zhejiang-Fujian Navy and the Huaidong Navy. A narrow victory is useless, but if you lose, the Minjiang River Estuary, Qianjiang River Estuary, and Yongjiang River Estuary will There will be nothing in Huaidong's eyes, and it will become the backyard of the Huaidong Navy... When you come back this time, I think it is necessary to expand the second water camp and the third water camp. East Fujian and East Zhejiang will be affected. Strike harder and harder!"
"Oh!" Lin Fu sighed deeply and nodded again, admitting that she was right.
Huaidong's attack on eastern Fujian and southern Zhejiang will not miss the Song family alone. Obviously, before Huaidong shows enough strength, the Song family will never be able to abandon the She family and defend itself alone.
He originally thought that Song Jia would be upset, but he didn't expect that she could see clearly. Women, women's thoughts are really hard to guess.
"When I come back this time, I want to go to the north first. Will you accompany me there?" Lin Fu asked.
Song Jia glanced at Lin Fu and said, "Okay."
Guanyintan Shipyard is working hard to build warships. The second water battalion and the third water battalion will be expanded to six battalions. The number of regular soldiers and auxiliary soldiers will be 5,000. The total strength of the Huaidong Navy will reach 15,000.
The Haidong camp will also recruit an additional 1,000 troops, mainly to increase the naval force in the Haidong area.
In this case, five thousand soldiers will be transferred from the labor camp.
However, the work camp will also replenish some of the men from the resettled refugees to ensure sufficient manpower for the construction of the sea wall and to ensure that the Huaidong Army has sufficient reserve troops.
Compared with the short-term rotation training of militiamen, in addition to fighting without weapons and high-intensity training, the formation, organization, and camp schedule of the supply troops are the same as those of the regular army. They will also conduct military training five days a month.
The officers of the work camp were not only selected from various armies, but also selected from the supply soldiers. The officers were planned to be sent to combat training schools for military training.
Even as reserve soldiers, the overall equipment and armor are better than the so-called elite soldiers in the refugee army.
Of course, most of the supply soldiers in the current work camp are former migrant army generals who have surrendered.
Although the food for the supply soldiers is not good, it can guarantee a sufficient supply of two kilograms of meat, four kilograms of fish, four kilograms of eggs, and rice every month.
When tens of thousands of rebel soldiers came to Chongzhou, they were all skinny and sallow. Over the past year or so, although the training and embankment construction work has been very intense, with sufficient food supply, almost all of them can be said to be qualified.
Jian Yong. The long hours of work and rest in the camp also made them accustomed to the organization and discipline of the Huaidong Army.
Even if there is a large-scale draw to replenish each army, as long as it goes through the initial adaptation period, the combat effectiveness of each army will not drop too much.
If Huaidong is to become a system, the sea-defense dike planned to be completed before next summer is of great significance. When Lin Fu has time, he always takes time to see the construction status of the sea-defense dike, hoping that if there are any problems, he can solve them quickly.
.
On the other hand, Lin Fu hoped to take advantage of the opportunity of building and defending the sea dike to expand the strength of the labor camp to 100,000 people. He no longer had to wait until the sea dike was built, and could simultaneously mobilize some of the troops to increase reclamation and cultivation.
