Chapter 1224 The military country is over
In Liangzhou City Lieutenant Clan, there is a scene of slaughter.
The Longxi knights, Wang Gujianer, and Uighur Tatars, were standing in the school grounds under various banners. The soldiers were neatly armored and the swords and guns were cold.
Hexi, Anxi, Gaochang, Hetao grassland, Tubo highland... Although these lands are barren, with a vast land and sparse population than the Central Plains, there are many kinds of thorns at all! Even after the Western Xia voluntarily moved, the various barbarian tribes, various temples with huge powers, various forces that govern one side, as well as the Song Dynasty in the east, the Khitan Empire in the north and the Bu robbers in the north, all threatened the new Tianli Cult regime at all times.
However, these Tianli Cult soldiers wearing white background and black talisman robes on the outside of the armor fought hard and defeated all the enemies with their powerful cavalry and faith. Years of war did not make them feel exhausted, but instead became more and more brave and stronger as they fought!
The reason why we can do this is of course not just the belief in the Tianli Church. Faith is the power of the spirit, and three parts of spirit are equal to one part of material. Spirit is essential, but sufficient material guarantee is even more important.
The Hexi regime is not so much a part of the Tianli Knights as a part of the Tianli Knights!
This group of warriors who either came from the Western Army, from Yan land, from the Western Xia Haner, or simply were Hu Er barbarians, and were the real masters of the Hexi regime.
In Hexi, the knights had the regime and the Tianli Cult.
The role of the regime is to organize wars well and to fairly divide the spoils of the population, land, livestock, wealth, and beauties. Everything must be distributed according to military merits.
Although Hexi does not have the sixth-class citizenship system of Zhou State, the role of military merit is more important, almost everything, because there is no other way to rise!
The Tianli Sect is used to gather knights with different backgrounds and even speak accents, and to build a core tool of power that allows them to obey.
Speaking of which, this set is really a bit like what the Arab prophet did...
The Zhangmen bloody incident that happened in spring now does not seem to shake the faith of the knights.
After all, the Tianli Sect is not a Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The leader of the religion is not a god who descends to the earth, but a scholar who understands the laws of nature. It is important to preserve the laws of nature. If something destroys the laws of nature, it can be eliminated!
Therefore, it is not a problem for Zhang Li to destroy his brothers and nephews. The problem is whether he can further promote Tianli after doing such a thing! If he can do it, it will be theoretically understandable.
So now is the time to carry forward the laws of heaven and make the knights of heaven and wealth!
10,000 knights plus the same number of auxiliary cavalry, 5,000 cavalry from the Wanggu tribe, Huangtou Uighur tribe, and Caotou Tatar tribe have now gathered in Liangzhou. Waiting for the oath to go on the expedition!
Outside the schoolyard, the two riders were rushing slowly towards the schoolyard. The two of them were immediately white Confucian uniforms, black cloaks, and long swords. It was Zhang Li and Gao Lian. Dozens of knights followed from afar, leaving room for private conversation for Tianlizi and the Minister of Zhou.
However, the two of them were speechless all the way. Seeing that they were about to arrive at the school, Zhang Li turned back with infinite emotion: "The minister, the lord of Hexi, is not Zhang, but the people in the school! If Zhang cannot bring them to make a fortune, Tian Lizi will be uneasy."
Gao Lian smiled faintly: "Tianlizi, Renduo's family doesn't have much oil and water... After eating them, who will be the next one? Is it time for Lingzhou?"
Zhang Li waved his hand and said with a smile: "Minister is joking. Hexi can have today, it is all the contribution of the Saint Gao Wu Mu Gao. Why don't we, the Knight of Heaven, understand the principle of drinking water and thinking about the source? We will not violate Lingzhou at all."
"Wu Mu" is Gao Qiu's posthumous title. In addition, Zhao Ji posthumously named Gao Qiu as the Prince of Bohai County and was awarded the title of the Secretary of the Central Committee.
On Wu Haogu, Gao Qiu went to the Temple of Heavenly Li Saints and Sages to worship, posthumously presented to the Lords of the Republic (in honor), and erected a monument in the Republic Square to commemorate it. Therefore, Gao Qiu can also be called Gao Saint. Now the Tianli Sect is divided into two sects, the East Sect is the Doctoral Order, and the West Sect is the Tianli Sect. Because it is far apart, the relationship between the two sects is quite good, and they recognize each other's authority.
Therefore, the Hexi Tianli Sect also recognizes that Gao Qiu is the territory of Gao Saint, so Zhang Li is of course not easy to start.
Gao Lian just smiled: "What about Shuofang and Shaanxi?"
Zhang Li just glanced at Gao Lian: "When will the Zhou State go south to use troops? We will send troops to Shaanxi in Hexi to restrain the Western Army for the head of state, and the Shuofang Army will also be a hero of the Republic."
This Tianlizi also knows how much he has! Although Hexi Knights are elite, they are too few. Now they are only 15,000, and it is already the limit to be able to raise 20,000.
It is impossible to seize the world with this little force. Even if there are more than 100,000 military households and thousands of knight households in Shaanxi and Shuofang, as long as they are fully mobilized, they will be enough to defeat Hexi.
Even Lingzhou, which has only 6,000 knights and the palace soldiers, can really make the Hexi knights suffer heavy losses if they fight their lives.
Therefore, the Hexi Tianli Sect did not have the strength to win the world.
Gao Lian smiled and said, "If there really is this day, the northwest will be Yongzhen of the Tianli Sect."
"Is this what the head of state mean?" Zhang Li looked at Gao Lian.
Gao Lian smiled and said, "I don't know what the head of state means. But in the Senate, most of the 100 people want to collect all the fertile lands in the southeast... As for the harsh and barren lands in the northwest, what's the harm in autonomy? It's even more reassuring to be the Tianli Cult."
As they were talking, the two riders had approached the school field, and the Tianli Knights on the school field also began to cheer.
"Preserve the laws of nature and pacify Qingtang!"
...
“That’s…”
"That was the new army of the court, with a total of ten infantry and barracks, 6 cannons and 500 cavalry."
Lin Chong stood beside Wu Haogu and explained the situation of the Song army who had entered the Zhou Dynasty.
Standing at the head of the city of Tianjin County (that is the large fortress in the south of Tianjin City), you can already use a telescope to observe the 8,800 Song army queues.
He was actually brightly dressed and cleverly lined up, not bad at all compared to the Republican Army’s military appearance!
"It seems that the Song Dynasty did not throw away all the skills of strong soldiers!" Wu Haogu put down the telescope and felt a little moved.
It is obvious that he has brought earth-shaking changes to the Song Dynasty. Even if he has left the Song Dynasty and has the Great Zhou Republic, the Song Dynasty has no way to go back to the past.
Brother Zhao Zhong, who went to the city to watch the Song army's military appearance with Wu Haogu, reminded: "First of the People, should you ask the soldiers to raise their level to prepare for war?"
"Junu Commander and Tianjin Defense Command will decide." Wu Haogu pressed the battlement of the city wall with his hand, "Let the First Cavalry Division leave the city and line up! We cannot lose the majesty of the Great Zhou Kingdom in front of His Highness Ding!"
...
King Ding Zhao Huan frowned, looking worried. Since he entered the Zhou territory, his brows have never been let go.
Because he also noticed the power of Zhou State!
The strength of Zhou State lies not only in the military, but also in the civilians. Strong soldiers and weak people are not truly strong countries. Strong soldiers and civilians are both strong, and they are feared opponents!
The Zhou Kingdom was not only strong, but also rich, not only rich in the country, but also rich in the people. It was truly a country and strong in the army. Compared with the Song Dynasty, the officials were rich and the people were poor, I don’t know how many times stronger it was.
At this time, King Ding had already regarded Zhou as the number one opponent of the Song Dynasty, even more terrifying than the Khitan.
The Khitan could not replace the Song Dynasty as the lord of the Central Plains, not only because the Khitans were barbarians, but also because their Daliao governance was poor, far inferior to the Song State. Therefore, no barbarians could become the master of the Central Plains for a long time...
And the Great Zhou... has only been so many years! It can actually be managed to this extent!
Wu Haogu, he is indeed a saint and wise man!
"Supreme," Zhao Huan, the head of Ding, asked Su Chi, the head of the Privy Council behind him, "If Wu Haogu had his troops to the world, how would the court take action?"
"The court can work hard to govern and prepare for war." Su Chi said, "Although the Zhou State is rich and strong, the people's strength is limited after all. Wu Haogu and compares himself with sages, and he is unwilling to make the Zhou people suffer from conquests. Therefore, he will definitely detain his martial arts and cultivate virtues and rest with the people. Within ten years, he will not be able to support the world."
To put it bluntly, it is actually the soldiers of the Zhou State. The knights were busy restoring their child and raising their children. Ten and twenty years later, when the soldiers and the sons of the knights grew up one after another and needed a way out. It was impossible for Wu Haogu to be safe!
However, at present, the people-oriented country of Zhou State will not be too aggressive.
"Ten years?" Zhao Huan frowned, "What can the court do in ten years?"
"We can find a way to revitalize military strength." Su Chi said, "Although we can't do this in Zhou State, there is no way out."
"I hope so..."
...
At the same time, it has become the grasslands around Linhuang Mansion in Nanjing, Great Jin. It is the time when the autumn wind is gradually rising and the Hu horses are fat.
On the south of the tall and majestic walls of Linhuang Prefecture City, there are densely packed with tents of cute ancients and silencers.
The Khan of the Menggu Qiyan tribe, Hebule, and the Khan of the Buklie tribe, Huerzhahusi, once again led his troops to Linhuang Prefecture.
This time, they brought a total of 35,000 cavalrymen!
Aguda also summoned the same number of Jurchen soldiers and gathered together with Linhuang Mansion. He also summoned a total of 10,000 heavily armored infantry from the affiliated Northern Goryeo Kingdom and the surrendered Bohai You surname.
A total of 80,000 troops were gathered, and the army was so prosperous that it even exceeded the scale of the Jurchens' first attack on the Song Dynasty in history!
Unlike in history, the Jurchens, Menggu and Zubu, who were blocked by the Zhou Kingdom and the Tianli Cult, were already united and began to covet the wealth of the south.
Due to the cold and white disaster caused by the Little Ice Age, the bitter and cold places in the north have become less and less suitable for survival.
So they have to look south to find a way out!
Since the road to the south is not easy to walk, what reason do you have to not unite and move south together to become the masters of the rich and warm Central Plains?
