Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Chapter 307 focuses on the military discussions behind the Zhenrong Army. Zhao Juan mainly ordered three days of enhanced training for generals. However, not all generals came, but only at the battalion level. At the same time, in view of the fact that local garrison troops cannot be left without chiefs.  Therefore, among the generals at the battalion level, except for the commander and deputy commander who stayed, Ying Yuhou returned to take charge of the overall situation.  The training is not advanced, that is, it teaches generals how to more reasonably train soldiers to stand still, walk in unison, and strengthen literacy learning.  However, the effect of this literacy learning is actually better than nothing. After all, in only three days, each general can only know a maximum of twenty or thirty characters!  After such a combination of kindness and power, Zhao Juan has established his own prestige in Qin Feng Road. Although he has not yet reached the point of controlling the overall situation, he has already reached a three-thirds level with Yin Zhu and Ge Huaimin.  During this period, Zhao Juan was busiest patrolling everywhere, especially the Ordnance Department and the Arsenal.  The Fengxiang Mansion Ordnance Department is the largest weapons department in Qinfeng Road, and it is also the main weapons production place in Qinfeng Road.  However, the scale is not large. The Ordnance Department currently only has fifty craftsmen, and more than ten of them were recruited within this year because of the Song-Xia War. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the Ordnance Department is not a lot of iron, because the largest iron mine in Shaanxi is in Shangzhou.  Shangzhou is located on the southeast side of Jingzhao Prefecture, located in the Qinling Mountains and surrounded by mountains.  When Liu Bang entered Guanzhong through Wuguan, he entered Guanzhong ahead of Xiang Yu. He entered Guanzhong through the Shangzhou area.  Therefore, we can see the close relationship between Shangzhou and Jingzhao Prefecture. The iron ore produced is basically sent to the capital of Jingzhao Prefecture.  If Fengxiang Mansion wants to get pig iron, it can only buy it from Jingzhao Mansion.  Or it can only be purchased from Hanzhong during the Three Kingdoms period, now renamed Xingyuan Mansion.  Because they all need to be transported over long distances, Fengxiang Mansion, the largest weapons department on Qinfeng Road, can only produce fifteen sets of armor every month. Swords and swords need to be ordered to be produced because they consume too much iron.  .  The most commonly produced items are arrowheads, and even gun heads are not produced in large quantities.  The most powerful items of this Ordnance Department are crossbows and hardwood saddles. Among them, crossbows can produce thousands of crossbows of various colors every year.  But this is not what Zhao Juan wants. The price of the crossbow is too expensive!  The cost of an arrow is thirty-eight cents!  Are there arrows here and there?  Everything you shoot out is money!  Think about it, it would be cool to fire thousands of arrows on the battlefield, right?  It¡¯s really a thousand arrows fired at once.  That is equivalent to shooting 380,000 copper coins, or 380 sticks!  No wonder that after the war between the Northern Song Dynasty and Xixia, he was known as the most powerful economic power in the history of Chinese dynasties, but he couldn't hold it back after only three years of fighting.  Is there a war here or there?  It's a waste of money!  And crossbows put a lot of logistical pressure on them. Don¡¯t forget that this was ancient times, and transportation was very backward.  Even Zhao Juan couldn't make any big changes to this.  Moreover, when attacking Xixia, they would have to go deep into deserts, Gobis, grasslands and other places where it is difficult to find supplies.  At that time, let alone replenishing arrows.  Even food replenishment is a problem.  Is it still a crossbow without arrows?  "Without the gunpowder and projectiles, the musket can still be used as an iron rod, and the crossbow without arrows is too troublesome to use as a melee weapon, and it is not as convenient as your own fist."  Zhao Juan inspected the arsenal for a day.  The expression was helpless.  Forget about corruption, Zhao Juan had already anticipated this, and he wouldn't be truly selfless. As long as it wasn't too much, Zhao Juan would just give him a few warnings.  After all, this matter is already deeply ingrained.  Even if you kill the person in charge of the arsenal, is it possible that those who come after you will not be corrupt?  What makes Zhao Juan most helpless is.  The armor in the arsenal was not regularly oiled, and all showed signs of rust. More than 80% of it was unusable.  That's all. The most common types of armor are actually paper armor and cloth armor.  The defense of this thing may have been acceptable when it was first made, but after a long time, it really cannot be used.  Paper armor is easy to talk about. Everyone knows that paper is easy to get damp and easy to attract insects and ants to eat.  Cloth armor is slightly better, but it is also prone to moisture, and cloth is easy to rot when it gets damp.  Zhao Yan once saw a soldier trying to move a piece of cloth armor. As a result, the cloth armor seemed to be in good condition and well-preserved, but he instantly felt like he was going to collapse.  The soldier grabbed it with his hand, but it was as if he was digging into the mud. He immediately sank in. When he pulled out his hand, he was covered with mud.  As for the iron weapons in the warehouse, Zhao Yan ordered to pick out twenty pieces and break them, and found that many of them had bubbles.  This shows that the quality of the pig iron used to make the weapons is not high, and that the craftsmen cut corners during the refining process.  Such a weapon may look good, but the bubbles inside will make the weapon more brittle than ordinary weapons.  But before Zhao Jian could figure out how to reform the Ordnance Department, an urgent document cameIt was sent to Fengxiang Mansion, which disrupted Zhao Yan's rhythm.  "Your Majesty! Urgent military report for 800 miles! Li Yuanhao has sent troops to suppress the Rong army, and various documents asking for help have been sent out!" Zhao Xun, who was regarded by Zhao Xun as a counselor on important military matters, hurriedly walked into Jingde Hall and said briefly  Said with fear.  Zhao Juan's face changed drastically, he stood up suddenly and shouted: "Go to the White Tiger Hall!" The White Tiger Hall of the Appeasement Department is located next to the Jingde Hall. Zhao Juan arranged this so that he can handle military affairs at any time. The White Tiger Hall is divided into inner rooms.  And the outer room, the outer room is where the scribes work, and the inner room is where important matters are discussed.  Moreover, in the inner room, Zhao Xun specially hired craftsmen to make a sand table seven feet two inches long and five feet six inches wide according to the atlas and the guidance of Zhao Xun and other generals who were familiar with the terrain of Qinfeng Road.  error, but overall it is relatively accurate.  Moreover, you can intuitively feel the strategic changes from it, which is better than the cumbersome floor plan. It is an epoch-making establishment.  Therefore, there is usually no one around, and there is also a group of ten Forbidden Army soldiers standing guard and patrolling inside the White Tiger Hall.  In the military salute of the Forbidden Army soldiers, Zhao Juan quickened his pace and walked into the White Tiger Hall.  The location of the Zhenrong Army was immediately found.  Zhenrongjun is located on the west bank of the Hulu River at the northern foot of Liupan Mountain in the Loess Plateau. The terrain is very helpless.  The Zhenrong military headquarters is located in a wide river valley, backed by Liupan Mountain.  The river valley is long in shape, long from north to south and narrow from east to west.  The Zhenrong Army is located at the southern end of the river valley, and because the river valley is higher and shorter in the south, the Zhenrong Army is also located at a higher position in the valley.  But it cannot change the fact that this area is a plain area. Although there are many rivers, they are mostly rivers with gentle water flow and people and horses can wade through them.  The guard cities and military fortresses set up by the Zhenrong Army on the periphery were mostly set up on plains, making them easy to attack and difficult to defend.  Once Xixia captures the Zhenrong Army, it will achieve a favorable strategic situation in which it can advance, attack, retreat and defend!  When the Zhenrong Army was in the Tang Dynasty, formerly known as Yuanzhou, there was such an evaluation.  "The left controls Wuyuan, the right leads Lanhui, the Yellow River flows around the north, and the Kongtong blocks the south. It holds the back of the eight counties and the key points of the three towns." This shows how important the strategic position of the Zhenrong Army is!  To attack, Xixia can go south and take the official road, attack Weizhou and Longzhou, enter Baoji County in Fengxiang Prefecture, and enter the Guanzhong Plain.  To the east, you can attack Jingyuan Road, and to the west, you can attack the Deshun Army that has lost its flank.  If you don't attack, you can rely on the natural danger of Liupan Mountain to defend. It is equivalent to hanging a sharp sword above Qinfeng Road and Jingyuan Road that doesn't know when it will fall, which can contain a large number of troops in the Northern Song Dynasty.  Zhao Xun also saw the powerful connection and said with a shocked face: "Your Majesty, if the traitor Li Yuanhao captures the Zhenrong Army and shakes Shaanxi, half of Shaanxi will never have peace again!" "We must save the Zhenrong Army.  ! Immediately mobilize the Wei army, I will personally lead the troops!" Zhao Juan said decisively.  Zhao Juan is now very glad that he did not disperse the Beiwei army to become an officer in order to control Qin Fenglu.  The reason why Zhao Juan did not follow the rumors and consolidate military power was because he considered the role of the 500 Beiwei Army on the battlefield in Shaanxi.  The Northern Song Dynasty currently does not have an outstanding cavalry army. Although the number of 500 elite cavalry is not large, if used well, its role on the battlefield can definitely exceed that of 5,000 infantry.  Just like now, if Zhao Juan uses infantry to rush to suppress the Rong army, it is very likely that the war to suppress the Rong army has ended.  Either Xixia retreats, or Xixia takes over the Zhenrong army.  After the infantry of Fengxiang Mansion arrived, their role was nothing more than as the first wave of counterattack force, or else as a force to strengthen Liupanshan's defense line.  The cavalry is different. They can definitely arrive before the end of the battlefield and contribute their own strength.  Zhao Xun was slightly nervous when he heard this and said: "Your Majesty, we have just arrived at Qinfeng Road, how can we leave?" The current date is September 21st, which means that it has only been ten days since Zhao Xun arrived at Fengxiang Mansion.  time.  If someone wants to cause trouble once Zhao Juan leaves, it will definitely be a great time.  Zhao Xun understands Zhao Xun¡¯s concerns, but he also has his own ideas.  "Don't worry! Yin Zhu is staying in Weizhou now, and the Zhenrong Army is in front of him. How can he still think about making small moves? As for Ge Huaimin, he has a chance, but this reckless man is now in Qinzhou, so he is afraid and thinking  If you take the credit for attacking Xixia's flank with the Deshun Army, how can you have the wit to scheme against me?" Seeing what Zhao Jun said, Zhao Xun thought about it and did not continue to object.  Said: "In that case, please bring the prince with you! The prince is familiar with the main roads in Shaanxi, and he also knows some of the trails on the border that are not recorded on the map! With the prince leading the way, the prince can guarantee that there will be no  You will go the wrong way!" Zhao Juan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, good! You will go out with the army. Now take your book.?¡¯s order to summon the Beiwei army!  " Zhao Xun had just left. Du Xiansheng, Qian Yanyuan, Yang Zhen and others who had received the information had already arrived. Zhao Xun took the time to tell him his plans after leaving.
