Of course, Zhao Bing did not believe that in fact, for a military group that was a small tribe, short-term tribal privileges could allow soldiers to fight without worries. This is the key to the barbarian tribes being able to have extremely strong combat effectiveness in the early stages of civilization. Of course, it is also an important reason to adapt to the situation to absorb advanced technologies and organizational methods of civilized nations.

However, in the long run, the long-term privilege will inevitably lead to corruption and depravity, which has nothing to do with whether it is civilized. Of course, corruption is not the only reason for the deterioration of the combat power of the military power of the barbarian empire. However, the rapid gap between the rich and the poor brought about by huge wealth into their own nation is also the key. The rich will want to seize more wealth, and will become increasingly unwilling to assume military obligations; the poor are exploited and fall into the situation of selling their children and women, becoming herdsmen and serfs.

In this way, the number of warable soldiers that the empire could obtain was sharply reduced. Taking the Yuan Dynasty as an example, the long-term comfortable life and the situation of "extreme Jiangnan and rich in the north" caused by blood transfusions from Jiangnan to Lingbei also caused the Mongolian warriors on the plateau to completely lose their fighting spirit.

In the Battle of the Two Capitals that broke out in the middle and late Yuan Dynasty in Zhao Bing's history, Yan Timur used the Qincha people from North Asia and the Alan people to establish Qincha Wei, Asuwei, as the backbone major army, defeated the Shangdu Army based on the Mongolian Plateau herdsmen with fewer victories and became a powerful minister. It can be seen that the long-term comfortable life has also corrupted the fighting spirit of the still nomadic grassland people.

In fact, Zhao Bing also knew that people's impression of the rapid reduction of combat effectiveness of the Chinese nomadic people was mainly due to the migration of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the south. After the implementation of the comprehensive Chinese policy, the loss of martial morality led to the general collapse of the Northern Wei Empire. However, he had different interpretations of it, and its failure should be accidental, and cannot be entirely attributed to Emperor Wen's migration to the Central Plains south.

In fact, the comprehensive Chinese policy adopted by the Northern Wei Empire and abolished the privileges of the Xianbei people, instead solving the problem of military source. During the era of Emperor Xiaowen Yuanhong and Emperor Xuanwu Yuanke, the Northern Wei had an overwhelming advantage over the Southern Qi army mobilization. However, the population in the north was as high as 30 million at that time, and under the productivity at that time, it had fallen into the serious Malthus trap.

In addition, the political turmoil in the late Northern Wei Dynasty was unable to continue Emperor Xiaowen's anti-corruption policy and was attacked by serious natural disasters, leading to uprisings everywhere. These problems were in harmony with the internal and external rebellion of the Six Towns, which led to the collapse of the Northern Wei regime, which was inconsistent with the historical records that the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty had abundant military virtues and the weak and weak Xianbei people in the Han Dynasty.

However, even if the failure of the Northern Wei Dynasty was accidental, it would inevitably have a stereotype of civilization and losing its military morality for later generations. Later generations, Liao, Jin, Yuan and Qing all showed resistance to sinicization, refused to be fully sinicized, and were keen on their own privileges, but they were soon in a dilemma of being short of military resources.

So, is there a successful solution to the situation of the Little Tribe Ling Kingdom? Zhao Bing can only say: "Yes, France!"

Most of the French people's bloodlines came from former Roman citizens in the province of Gaul. The French language is essentially Frankish Latin. That is to say, the Franks actually accepted Roman culture as barbarians, but were not assimilated. Instead, they gave the main ethnic group the name of barbarians and achieved counter-assimilation. For a long time, France has been able to ensure sufficient military sources.

Of course, this is really bad for the subject nation. A more famous example is a country in West Asia, which claims to have inherited the brave gene of Tuque, but it has been recently detected that almost all ethnic bloodlines come from Greeks...

A few days later, everyone who could come arrived, and it was naturally lively for everyone to gather together in the camp. The front hall of the yard was temporarily transformed into a conference hall. On weekdays, dozens of people were crowded when they saw a large room flooding in. But now it was during the war, so there was not so much attention. Of course, it was also important to pay attention to the order of superiority and inferiority.

The venue was surrounded by more than ten long cases, with Zhao Bing in the upper head in the center, and there were several important officials of the escorts on both sides. The civil and military officials on both sides sat in turn, all of which were the treatment of the heads of the various ministries and the provincial prefectures. The officials had their own chairs and not even a table, but everyone had a cup of hot tea, but they treated them equally.

Zhao Bing sat down, and the ministers bowed to each other. At this time, the weather was cold outside, the north wind was howling, there was a fire wall around the hall, and a brazier was lit at the four corners, but it was as warm as spring. After a few greetings, Zhao Bing signaled Lu Xiufu to introduce the current political and economic situation in the country and the newly restored place, and then Jiang Jin reported on the current military promotion and the situation between the enemy and us, so that everyone had a clearer understanding of the current situation.

Next, local officials from all walks of life reported the situation after receiving the newly restored land one by one. Although the situation varies from place to place, the most important thing now is that the people in the north are skeptical about whether the Song Dynasty can defeat the Mongolian Yuan, and the local tyrants incite the people to confront the people in order to protect their own interests, and even set up camps to defend themselves against the court, attacking and killing the officials stationed, resulting in great resistance to the implementation of the policy.

Therefore, the ministers of the Lufu hope to send troops to wipe out the remaining troops scattered everywhere and suppress the powerful people in the places that are enemies of the court, and consolidate the newly restored land, so as to implement the Song Dynasty... But before they could finish their words, they were interrupted by Han Zhen. He said: The most important thing at the moment is to advance troops quickly to Dadu. As long as they attack Dadu's people, they will be determined. Those bandits are just a scabies. At this time, the division of troops will only lead to dispersion of troops, resulting in the inability to advance northward and miss the opportunity to capture Dadu.

"I would like to ask Your Majesty to quickly issue an order to end the rest, continue to advance north, seize the capital, and restore my Central Plains!" As soon as Han Zhen finished speaking, Zhuang Siqi, Sun Kai, He Zhenguo and other generals stood up and saluted.

"Oh, you agree to quickly advance north and seize Dadu?" Zhao Bing asked with a smile, and although the other people did not stand up and made it clear, they were also ready to move. If they hadn't understood them very well, they would have been forced to palace in public!

"Your Majesty, the pseudo-Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty has issued an order for the kings outside the border to lead troops to defend the king, and to transfer the guards of the grassland into the capital. He also ordered all places to sign war horses and young men to actively prepare for war. He delayed again and waited for the enemy army to gather and attack the capital again, and it would be difficult to attack again." Zhuang Siqi first bowed and advised.

"What the Deputy Envoy of Han and Zhuang Dutong said is very true. Now most of the two routes in Shandong and Hebei have entered the hands of our dynasty, only four hundred miles away from most of them. Moreover, the enemy's consecutive defeats have become frightened birds. Our army is now in full swing and winning battles, and the morale is strong. Finally, we are willing to be the vanguard and set troops to the city of Dadu in one month!" Sun Kai bowed and asked for the battle.

"The last generals are willing to lead troops northward to capture the pseudo-Yuan Capital for Your Majesty, capture the enemy chief, and fulfill Your Majesty's ambition to recover the Central Plains!" The other generals also polite.

"They all actively asked for the fight, why don't you say anything? Are you afraid to fight?" Zhao Bing pointed at Han Zhen and others with his hands, and pointed at Tian Zhong, Chen Fenglin, and Liu Zhixuedao.

"Your Majesty is dead unjustly!" Chen Fenglin stood up and smiled bitterly as if he had eaten two pounds of yellow lotus, "Since he entered the general's mansion, he knew that Your Majesty had always been to recover the Central Plains and expel the Tartars from the frontier. Therefore, if you say that the most urgent thing to attack Dadu is Your Majesty. Now that the troops are at the city, they have ordered a rest. There must be no choice but to temporarily suspend the northward advance, so..."

"Haha, that's right. There must be a reason for your Majesty to give up the great opportunity to advance north. Although we are anxious, it's not easy to cause trouble!" Liu Zhixue also said with a smile.

"You old slippery guys..." Han Zhen shook his head and smiled bitterly after hearing the words of several generals. They complained privately to him that His Majesty ordered a rest, but when he arrived at the official occasion, he felt diarrhea again, which made him speechless.

"I know that you all want to attack Dadu in one go, and I am the same. I wish I could lead the army like you and others and plant the king's flag at the head of Dadu's city tomorrow. But I am plagued by earthly affairs and ordered the stop to advance north for many reasons. Mr. Ma will talk about your difficulties first!" Zhao Bing complained a few times, pressed his hands to let the generals sit down, and pointed at the Minister of Revenue Ma Ying and said.

"Your Majesty, all the officials and colleagues, I am not deliberately shirking responsibility and complaining to everyone, but I have really hardships!" After being named by Your Majesty, Ma Ying, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, got up and saluted everyone first.

"Everyone knows that our army set up many grain cities before the Northern Expedition, with a total of more than 8 million stones. After that, the imperial court raised millions of stones of grain and grass for transportation in the north. However, the war situation was unexpected, and thousands of miles of lost land had been recovered in two months. At first, the weather was still warm and the waterway was open to the waterway, which could only be used to supply the army. Now the grain in Jiangbei was piled up like mountains, but the Huaihe River had frozen and the waterway was cut off. It could only be transported to Jiangbei by ship and then transferred by land. It was really unsustainable."

"Mr. Ma, since the food and grass reserves are sufficient, you only need to mobilize more husbands and soldiers, and it is impossible to recruit them on the spot. How can it be difficult to sustain?" Sun Kai asked curiously.

"Isn't General Sun's affairs so simple?" Ma Ying smiled bitterly, "According to the calculations of the Ministry of Revenue, each military soldier needs one stone of food per month, and even the processed rice and flour requires six dou of rice and flour. At the beginning, there were less than 300,000 troops participating in the war, and our army made rapid progress and seized a lot. In this way, it can be supplemented for the use of each unit."

"As the number of troops participating in the war increases, the longer the transport distance, the ammunition carried by each unit is exhausted and the loss of the patient is increased, which all need to be supplemented from the rear. In addition, the enemy fled when they heard the news. Before leaving, they not only took away the food and food stored in the treasury, but also robbed all the food in the hands of the people, and burned all the things that could not be taken away, and very little was seized."

"As a result, our army needs to increase day by day, and the people in the newly harvested places also need relief. The longer the journey, the more losses it will be, the more food and supplies are consumed, and the consumption of food and supplies has increased exponentially. However, the newly harvested places are unstable, and bandits often plunder the transported food and food teams. The insufficient escort force often causes great losses. Although we have collected more than 200,000 troops to transport food and grass, it is still difficult to meet the consumption!"

"Oh, I'm not to hide it from all generals, and the food and grass on the front line can only meet the needs of half a month. If you go north, you will have no food if you run out of food!" Ma Ying sighed helplessly...
