Chapter 712 Political Events During the War

What else did Zhong Shidao say, but his brother pulled him back. Many generals of the Qin Feng Army also looked black and had no choice. It was because the old Zhong Shang was too vulgar and offended too many people, so the Qin Feng Army became a crossing rat in the Song Dynasty. There was almost no exception. No husband liked the Zhong Family Army since then.

It is obvious that since the end of the Northwest War at the end of December, it has reached the end of February. In two months, the arms produced in Jiangzhou and Bianjing pig farms were endless. New materials, weapons, new materials, fish scale armor, and new divine arm bows were transported to Hezhong Prefecture by a large ship.

In addition, there was still some remaining in the Hezhong Prefecture earlier, so there were a total of 70,000 sets, which could be used for the newly reorganized and reformed Western Army to change their clothes. However, these 70,000 sets of new armaments were all taken away by Liu Yanqing's army. The reason for the official was that they fought the most difficult at that time. In fact, everyone knew that this was because the Zhong Shidao Department was the most jumping, the most vulgar, and the least favored by his husband.

Faced with this, the others were fine, but Mr. Zhong wanted to die.

However, if Tong Guan is replaced, Tong Guan will be trapped by Zhong Shidao. Even if Tao Jiefu comes, he will be pissed off by the old man. However, Gao Fangping is too prestige in the northwest. In addition, after the Western Army was strongly reorganized, many original officers retired and replaced. The Western Army was assigned to many officers from other departments by Gao Fangping and were also dispatched political commissars.

Therefore, in the current situation in the northwest, government affairs may not be able to be dominated by Gao Fangping, but military affairs will never be resisted.

There is only one situation where they can decide, that is, Gao Fangping was placed under house arrest and worshipped as a Bodhisattva, and then someone "handled the emperor to command the princes". Otherwise, as long as Gao Fangping's orders could be issued, it would be useless for all the officers to fight against Xiao Gao, because the big-headed soldiers would teach officers to be human in minutes. This is the national war within the army.

The Western Army has officially had a soul now, and this soul is not anyone in the Master's Way, but Gao Fangping. As long as Gao Fangping is still there, regardless of whether it is in the northwest or not, the faith of this army will not be lost in the future. This is their bloodline and soul.

Gao Fangping got up and walked down, and stopped nearby and said, "Old man is handsome."

"The last one will be there." The old generation whispered.

"You have your characteristics and you have your contributions. But military orders are military orders. Don't have any emotions, otherwise it will cause instability in our expeditionary force. You know these better than anyone else." Gao Fangping said.

Zhong Shidao felt sad as if he was old and old, and a little bit of a feeling of being frozen after the war, but he had to nod.

Gao Fangping patted his shoulder and said, "At this time, the veteran general is in the rear, cultivates and takes care of his health. This is also good, because without you being in the rear, I am really worried about the protection of the logistics line. Your responsibility may not be lighter than the front line, do you understand?"

"I will understand." Master Zhong sighed, and without waiting for Gao Fangping to part, he was a little tired, and hunched his body in advance and left the lobby.

The Master Zong who was still in the account could not say much, only the old man's past. However, Gao Fangping pointed at his nose and said, "Look at your brother. If there is any problem behind him, I won't cause trouble for him, and I will ask you for guilt."

"As for orders." Master Zhong was at the bottom of his head...

The civil officials of the Song Dynasty have always been very brave and unrestrained. In the past, it was not that they didn’t like to fight, but they felt that they could not win. This time, they could bully the people of Xixia, so Gao Fangping’s policy of sending troops was overwhelmingly supported even in the civil servant system. They were so vulgar.

Back then, Zhong Shidao dared to take the initiative to send troops to attack the court that was negotiating, so the group of sharks led by Gao Fangping wanted to do this even more.

Of course, although this time, although the troops were sent to the army to win the morale and were well-equipped, it would not be as easy as expected. This is a fact that the two most ruthless black army units were beaten and abolished. However, it does not mean that the Western Xia is really a lamb to be slaughtered. Especially this time, Gao Fangping's two armies became the attacking parties, and the number of troops in the Western Xia territory was still somewhat retained. As the side to defend the country, they still have a lot of combat power.

Therefore, when he went to the expedition, Gao Fangping issued another order to Liu Yanqing's troops: Do not advance recklessly, do not be careless and arrogant. The real purpose of this advance is not to destroy the country or to effectively occupy it, but to get the most bargaining chips for the soon-to-be diplomatic negotiations in Bianjing. At the same time, it is necessary to squeeze the benefits of morale and equipment, mainly to scare the strategy, and further consume the elite young and middle-aged people in the Western Xia.

We must make them seriously injured and have a shadow in our hearts. We must ensure that our northwest Bianjing will have more than ten years of stability, so that our mainland can invest with confidence and we can have a real development and construction environment in the northwest. Only when we plan the Yanyun land can we have no worries.

These are supplementary orders for Liu Yanqing's troops and are also the strategic guiding ideology for this advance.

Now Gao Fangping doesn't want to be a war madman. He is so happy to make a contribution to the front line. He needs large-scale construction in the northwest and now spends money, grain and people's efforts on the logistics line. Yes, Gao Fangping will never do this. This time, he is just to pay some protection fees with tight hands.

Moreover, Gao Fangping's strategy has reduced the pressure on the logistics line to a minimum. Gao Fangping only brought Bi Shijing's troops, Shi Wengong's troops, and Xu Ning's troops, and sent troops lightly. Liu Yanqing's troops were equipped with 70,000 newly equipped troops and sent troops from the Yinzhou line.

In other words, the reserve force is still sufficient this time, but there is a reserve move, with less than 110,000 troops entering Xixia...

There are rumors that in the early stages of the war, Tao Jiefu accumulated considerable resentment towards Zhong Shidao, and he wanted to conduct a general liquidation after the war.

In fact, it is not the rumor that is true. The Privy Council has appointed Cao Zhong, a famous general of the Song Dynasty, to the northwest. Cao Zhong Dabiaochui came to discuss with Gao Fangping with the order of Tao Jiefu's prime minister, to transfer the army back to Beijing, and Cao Zhong temporarily took over as the Qin Feng Army.

Before sending troops, Cao Zhong, in the northwest camp, also persuaded Gao Fangping hard. He said that he would transfer the troops back to Beijing to take charge of the work of the guards and the military commander of the horse army, so that he would not be too angry.

In fact, Gao Fangping knew that once he returned to Beijing, the old farmer would definitely be punished by Tao Jiefu. Of course, Tao Jiefu would not kill the old farmer, but if the literati wanted to kill an old general, it would not necessarily require a knife. Gao Fangping knew too well that the accumulated sequelae of war at such an age of Zhong Shidao, once he was really idle and punished, he would die faster than General Di Qing.

So no matter what Tao Jiefu said was nice, Gao Fangping disagreed. This is also one of the reasons why Gao Fangping started his army in February. What can protect the general since ancient times is war.

So this is why Zhong Shidao continued to stay in Qinfeng Road for logistics command, because the northern commander Gao Fangping was protecting him. This is also why Zhong Family Army and Zhong Shi were particularly grateful to Gao Fangping.

The decision of the Privy Council cannot be violated in theory, but Gao Fangping can do it. Because Gao Fangping still holds the Emperor's Sword. This was the problem that Zhao Ji gave to the prime ministers under his willfulness at that time.

The person holding the Emperor's Sword was only controlled by Zhao Ji in military terms and was on par with the Privy Council. The Emperor's Sword had the same effect as the white jade lion flag that the emperor gave to Tao Jiefu.

So there are variables about the stay and departure of Zhong Shidao. Unless Zhao Ji's imperial edict comes in person, this matter must be done until the war is over. Gao Fangping returns to Beijing to report his work and engage in a political fight with Lao Tao. It's so easy. A veteran general who has been fighting for the country for a lifetime. You say that training needs training...

The other news is that as early as when Gao Fangping was surrounded by Hezhong Prefecture, Zong Ze still raised an army to teach the young people in Guangnan to be human.

At that time, Gao Fangping and the court gave advice: don’t use troops, as for the details, you should think of a solution by yourself.

However, Zong Ze is not a god. It is hard to cook without rice. Even if he cannot overturn Wang Zudao's sacrificial flag, even if he gives benefits, the young people who were deceived before are still stubborn and dissatisfied, and would not be so easy. Therefore, the situation in Guangnan was not good. Although there was no real war at that time, it affected production. Hanwa and Shaomin formed two camps and always held on to each other. There were often cases of Hanwa and Shaomin fighting and killing and injured among the people.

So Zong Ze finally made a judgment: It would be impossible not to use troops.

Finally, when the cold winter came, he attacked decisively. When Yu Shaomin thought it was the most impossible, Zong Ze made the decision to attack Sanjiang and Nandan. He was quick, ruthless and accurate, and he fought beautifully. In the situation where less than 200 Shaomin local soldiers died, he took Sanjiang and Nandan.

Yes, there is no way, Zong Ze still used violence to solve the problem in Guangxi.

The same use of violence, the results caused by capable ministers and fools will of course be different. If Wang Zudao's fool, he would be able to turn a very accurate "special sniper war" into a protracted civil war. However, Zong Ze learned a lot of pork flat methods, and he used the smallest price to successfully attack with lightning speed, arrested the young people's leaders who were causing trouble, and then promised benefits to appease the young people.

When there was no leader, the young people were not very resentful, and they were mainly backward and poor. Anyway, they could not defeat the Song army, so of course they had to choose to accept the benefits given by Zong Ze, and do whatever they should do, and take a shower and go to bed.

So after Zong Ze sorting out, those two areas are now called the real land-returning to the Song Dynasty. The toast system has truly been in name only. Zong Ze has officially sent people to set up a county government there and manage them as the people of the Song Dynasty.

The benefit Zong Ze gave them was trade "trading". This is the mainstream of human beings. Things that are mutually beneficial not only allow backward young people to have supplies, but also increase government taxes, and also allow Hanwa people who like to produce a place to sell their goods.

So why did there be no so-called "trade" in the past? Why didn't ordinary people do business with those young people?

The biggest reason lies in the collusion between officials and businessmen, and in the administration of officials.
