With the reorganization and training of the general's military, the organizational adjustment of each army was also completed.    ?

The central army had ten commands of infantry, one commander of the horse army, plus the directly affiliated crossbows, scouts, baggage teams and personal guards, with a total of more than 8,000 soldiers; except for the infantry, the three armies in the front, left and right had six commanders, the remaining ones were the same, each with more than 6,000 soldiers; because the rear army was temporarily stationed in Leizhou, the population was relatively large, and with the approval of the general's office, more than 20,000 soldiers were recruited. In addition to some of the troops added to Qiongzhou, the rear army was expanded to twelve infantry commanders, two commanders of the cavalry, and two commanders of the navy, with more than 10,000 troops, and the strength of the central army became the army.

After the reorganization of the naval army, the naval army had three water villages, Baisha, Chengmai and Wenchang. Among them, Baisha Water Village had 400 large and small warships, with 10,000 soldiers, and the other two villages had 200 warships, each with more than 5,000 soldiers. However, in Zhao Bing's view, the naval army at this time was not very different from the infantry, except for the more ships and sailors, and the training methods were not very different from the infantry. It was not weapons with warships, but just transportation tools and sea platforms. When they met, they first blew crossbows, got close, and then collided with each other. When they got on, they jumped to fight with the ships, and used the ships as the city to carry out attack and defense. Although the warships now have long-range projection weapons such as crossbows, rockets, etc., they only killed and injured soldiers on the enemy ships, and could not fully achieve the purpose of sinking and destroying the opponent's warships to gain control of the sea.

But even though he knew this, Zhao Bing had no better way, because in the era of cold weapons, you were not close to each other and could not reach each other, and the power was enough to destroy enemy ships. Therefore, you can't scold the other party by your mouth! The same is true for the Defighting Army. It cannot reach the level of fighting by relying solely on weapons and sailors. It also requires a large number of war soldiers to participate in the war, resulting in a lot of soldiers being raised, but the efficiency is not high. In this way, the Water Infantry Army plus the Defighting Army directly under the command of the General Administration, the Defighting Army, the Defighting Army, the Defighting Army, the Defighting Army, the Defighting Army, the Defighting Army, the Defighting Army, and the Defighting Army, the Defighting Army, the Defighting Army, the Defighting Army, the Defighting Army, the Defighting Army, the Defighting Army, the Defighting Army, the Defighting Army, the Defighting Army, the Defighting Army, the Defighting Army, the Defighting Army, the Defighting Army, had more than 60,000 soldiers...

Everyone knows the truth that "Han Xin ordered more soldiers, the better", but Zhao Bing was relieved, but at a young age, there was a sign on his forehead. He thought that if he was not young, his head would turn white, it was nothing more than money. Thinking about the fact that 60,000 soldiers would get more than 100,000 shi for food and feeding them a year, and the salary was more than one million jin. This was still the daily consumption. In the war, the consumption of weapons, rewards, pensions and other expenses were added. If the expenses were doubled, they had to recite Amitabha Buddha!

In October, according to the tax law of the Song Dynasty, it was the time to collect autumn taxes, and autumn taxes were often the main part of agricultural taxes, but how much did the island collect this year? 21,420 shi of autumn seedlings, more than 42,000 kuros, and commercial taxes had to add less than 100,000 kuros of income from the Maritime Bureau. This amount of money had to support more than 100,000 civil servants and public staff on the island, pay the daily expenses of each government office, repair bridges and roads, and provide disaster relief to the poor.

Zhao Bing calculated that even if Jiang Qi transferred 100,000 yuan from Leizhou, he was still too far away, which means that these deficits must be filled by the General's Mansion, or he, the prince, paid for the bill. While he felt wronged, he also felt reasonable. People were the people of the Song Dynasty, and the soldiers protected the Zhao family. The officials handled the affairs for your General's Mansion. Everyone coaxed you and played with you. Who would pay if you didn't pay? But I thought that it might not take long to live a long time to go to the stepmother and brother, and they would also bring the helpless meals to join him. How could he not worry?

Fortunately, Zhao Bing was foresighted. The "caravan" he sent has returned now. Not only did he bring back millet from the northwest, wheat from the Central Plains, and rice from the south of the Yangtze River, a total of 100,000 stones. In addition, there were 50,000 taels of gold, one million taels of silver, and one hundred thousand pieces of silk. He calculated that according to the current value of these things, 10% of them belonged to the Affairs Bureau, 40% of them belonged to the General Bureau, and he also accepted 50% of them. Of course, he didn't want food, and if he had no place to put it, it was better to bring hard currency such as gold, silver, and silk.

Of course, Zhao Bing would not stop such a good 'business', but at this time his goal was no longer gold and silver, but to snipe the grain market. Now is the time when autumn grain is on the market, and the price is at a low price. Because the current situation is unstable, many large grain merchants are unwilling to pay for grain collection. Zhao Bing reversed the situation and collected grain at a high price. One is doing a business without capital. While supplementing his shortcomings, he borrowed a large amount of counterfeit currency to flow into the market. Both are the mentality of buying up the rise but not buying down the fall. He disrupted the situation so that some grain merchants forced to collect grain and rush to buy grain.

This would increase the price of grain in Jiangnan, which would inevitably increase the enemy's military expenditure. A large number of counterfeit currency would also increase the number of people who accepted gold and silver, making it difficult for the quasi-level warehouse to accept it in full, and the Zhongtong banknotes that lost their credit would depreciate quickly, causing inflation, forcing Kublai Khan to change the banknotes method, causing Song's copper coins and silver to run in the market, and defeating his plan to implement Zhongtong banknotes in Jiangnan. Of course, this action would not be enough to achieve the goal, but it would also cause market fluctuations and panic, while Zhao Bing exchanged a pile of paper for the required food and supplies.

Such a large amount of food in Qiongzhou, and only using the funds from the inner government, would definitely make several senior executives in the palace suspicious. But they did not dare to ask His Highness, so they could only ask Zhuang Shilin. But he got the benefits and his highness's strict orders, and he only said that it was the income from the prince's transaction through the Affairs Bureau. He didn't know the details, so the matter became a mystery, so there were rumors that His Highness had obtained the treasure pot of the gods, and he would have what he put...

After October, the wars were everywhere along the coast of Jiangnan, and the sky was full of wars over Qiongzhou. Zhao Bing could no longer sit still. He insisted on patrolling the defense of the entire island and inspecting the army to strengthen combat preparations. The heads of each department were also sent by him to supervise local prefectures, counties, and village soldiers to train quickly. These days, Zhao Bing had traveled several military camps and water villages in Qiongzhou, so he wanted to go to Jiyang Army to see how the front army was training. He originally wanted to walk 6 routes, but how dare everyone! If he was captured by Sheng Li, it would be great, so he asked His Highness to change the water route by taking the post road, and to harassing the place.

Zhao Bing had no choice but to agree, and accompanied him with Yingjieyan, because everyone knew that only the old man could persuade His Highness, and no one could take care of His Highness. And when he came to patrol these days, he was always on a boat. The imperial ship was too big and it was difficult to enter the city through the waterway. It was too troublesome to exchange it, so he transferred the idle "Warrior" over, and it was parked in Nanhu behind the government office on weekdays and became His Highness's special car. The sailors naturally followed the boat fleet of the guard camp, but the warriors were replaced with personal guards and the ceiling cabin was modified.

Now that the rainy season has passed, the weather has become much more refreshing. Zhao Bing and Ying Jieyan took the "Warrior" into the sea early in the morning, and met the imperial ship moored in Baisha Water Village at Haikou, and walked eastwards around Qixing Ridge and then turned south to Jiyang Army. The journey was long, and the master and apprentice chatted in the cabin.

"Your Highness, the envoy Zhang Shumi has withdrawn his troops from Quanzhou. I wonder where they will go next?" Ying Jieyan took a sip of tea and looked at His Highness and asked.

"Where can he go? The Tartars have captured the Shaowu army and entered Fuzhou again. They can only go south to meet with the court!" Zhao Bing said indifferently.

"The spy responded and said that the enemy general Dachun was Da, Li Heng and the rebel general Lu Shikui approached Dayu Ridge and wanted to attack Guangzhou, but the court might not be stable." Ying Jieyan said again.

"This is inevitable. The Quanzhou naval army that has lifted the siege of Quanzhou will surely meet Pu Shougeng and follow Zhang Shijie's army. Under the attack between the two groups, Guangdong still cannot defend itself." Zhao Bing sneered, "I said that I should not take advantage of the enemy's northward return, but should first stabilize the position and establish a stable defense line, and then try to make the funeral happen. Who would not let them listen!"

"Encourt Zhang also wanted to occupy Quanzhou and find a foothold for the imperial court, and it was not an exaggeration!" Your Highness could say this, but he could not say it himself. Ying Jieyan defended him.

"In my opinion, Zhang Shijie was plotted against Pu Shougeng when he was plotted against this tone, and used this as a reason to avenge his personal revenge. In addition, Quanzhou is a place of wealth, so the Tartars would not give up easily. Even if they were captured, they would send troops to recover. What's ridiculous is that he fought around the city for two months, and not only did he lose his troops, but he even took advantage of the hair. The deal was lost to his grandma's house!" Zhao Bing said sarcastically.

"Your Highness is a person who wants to do big things, how can you be so small?" Ying Jieyan knew that Your Highness was angry with Zhang Shijie bullying him that day, so he was angry with him, and of course he had nothing to say good things.

"I am a child, so I am naturally small-minded. I can't be too big if I want to be big!" Zhao Bing said with a smile.

"Ah..." Ying Jieyan was so amused and crying that his highness said, "This battle is strange. Zhang Shumi is in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers and the She people assist. There are only thousands of soldiers in Quanzhou. Why can't he capture it for a long time?"

"What's so strange about this? Zhang Shijie has a bad character and no money; and although Pu Shougeng has a worse character, he has money. He paid to bribe the She people, so those people naturally refused to work when they attacked the city. How could they win this battle?" Zhao Bing spread his hands and smiled.

"It's that simple?" Ying Jieyan said in surprise. He knew that His Highness seemed to be joking, but he also knew that his news was always accurate, and that this must be grounded.

"Although it's not all, it accounts for most of it!" Zhao Bing said.

"What would your Highness fight?" Ying Jieyan asked again.

"If I am him, I have a bad character and lack money, then I will tell the military generals before the war that the Pu family has a billion yuan in funds. After breaking the city, you can grab it. It will take less than three days to break the city!" Zhao Bing said with a sneer.

"How can Your Highness do this? Wouldn't that be against the righteousness? What's the people of Quanzhou?" Ying Jieyan was so angry that his beard raised up and said furiously, judging by the posture, he wanted to expel him from the sect.

"Sir, what I said is that if I were him, I was young and rich, and I had to be disciplined by a famous teacher. Naturally, my character is very good. Why should I make such a bad decision?" Zhao Bing saw that the old man was really angry and quickly said with a smile.

"Your Highness...ah!" Ying Jieyan was speechless. How could he get such a student? But even though your highness's method was damaged, he could succeed. Now he used different methods to "raise funds" and probably this is the reason.

"Haha..." Zhao Bing scratched his scalp and smiled awkwardly. In fact, he felt that he was right. In ancient times, wars fought in wars were actually character. If a person was not good, hundreds of millions of people could easily be conquered by hundreds of thousands of people. This Song Dynasty is the best example. Over the past few decades, all the character that ancestors had finally accumulated was overdrawn, and the result was that everyone betrayed their relatives and their country was destroyed.

Sometimes deciding the outcome of a battle has a lot to do with psychology. Think about the battle between tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people on both sides. When the battle starts, the so-called civic consciousness is like a white knife in and a red knife comes out, blood flows everywhere, and corpses are everywhere. And everyone is human, with wives and children, and at least their own parents. When the battle begins, when the situation is stalemate, anyone will inevitably think about whether it is worth fighting or running? Is it worthwhile to work for this government, etc., etc. The so-called civic consciousness, just for individuals, is definitely running! Because everyone is all human beings in the final analysis, it is not realistic to say that they do not consider their own lives at all.

Once defeated, no matter which ethnic group, everyone will run away, running all over the mountains and fields. In order to run far and fast, it is best to throw away the armor and weapons. Even if there is a hand-to-hand supervision behind the battle, it may be trampled by scattered soldiers like a herd of bison. But everyone also understands that the more you run, the faster you die, and you run ahead and chase others behind, those who suffer heavy casualties must run first. Then again, since everyone understands the reason why they run first, who dies, why do they still run? This is a matter of character.

In the end, it is a question of whether the comrades around you can trust the commander. This judgment of trust or not is not something that falls from the sky, but is something that is found in society, is something that is captured in the sea of ​​blood, what the father and brother see, and is fought on the battlefield. Just to say, the small calculation in my heart, if I run, I will be chased by the other party, and the possibility of death is half-in-half; if my brothers insist, the possibility of death is less than 10%, so persistence is victory! The problem is that if I "become braver the more I fight", my comrades have already run two miles away, and the possibility of death is 100%. Then why not fight for the half-time chance of survival!

As for if the soldiers fight desperately, but the commander has "nowhere to go", let alone what percentage is there, you can directly consider how ugly it is to die. And you have no money to buy your life, so there must be a brave man under the reward. Then, what has affected the judgment of the soldiers over the long term will form the national character and character, and it will become the ultimate force to determine the outcome of the war...

"It's broken, you have to transfer Jiang Yishan and the rear army back quickly, otherwise you will suffer!" Zhao Bing suddenly said while joking.

"Your Highness, what is this?" Ying Jieyan asked in confusion.

"Zhang Shijie's defeat in the war will inevitably lead the court to retreat south. If it is not good, he will go to Chameng City by the Strait. Jiang Yishan is a good person. I am worried that they will use it and eventually lose their lives!" Zhao Bing explained.
Chapter completed!
