Chapter 1627: The four corners are trapped in the ghost country, now the Jiazong Department
Chapter 1627: The ghost country is trapped in all directions, and now the Jiazong tribe
Wang Yingchen is not a domineering person, and he knows himself clearly! With a god of war like Shen Tang around, he doesn't need to talk much about how to fight!
Moreover, if you intervene reluctantly, you will have to bear the blame if you lose.
You only need to do your duty well. If you win the war in the future, you will naturally have your own share of the credit.
"Master Wang, there are now tens of thousands of soldiers on the northern border, and the amount of food, grass and military pay consumed is astronomical! Previously, I also dispatched some food and grass from the four state capitals, and in the past few days, Xia Liao's money and food and grass have also been When you reach a certain point, I will let someone explain it to you later, and Sir Wang will still need to worry about the food, grass and military pay in the future!"
Having said this, Shen Tang waved his hand and told the generals to retreat, and then whispered to Wang Yingchen, "Now that Xia and Jin are fighting in the north, we only need Chen Bing to sit here and watch the tiger fight! Wait until the right time. , send troops north again! According to my prediction, the war in the north may not end in a short time!"
"I have already sent a letter to Deputy Commander Zhang Jun to discuss and disband most of the auxiliary troops, leaving only some elite troops! However, this is only temporary. After all, if all the troops, horses and auxiliary troops are stationed here, the food and grass consumed will Too bad! Although our Song Dynasty is rich, your majesty is benevolent and the national treasury is not rich.
So, it’s good to be able to save some money.”
"Master Wang will rest for a few days first, and then go to the prefectures and counties to prepare. Once the commander plans to send out troops, he will need to gather auxiliary troops, civilians, food and other supplies as quickly as possible."
Wang Yingchen nodded attentively. He naturally knew the situation of the Song Dynasty. Shen Tang's move was also for the imperial court's consideration!
"Don't worry, sir!"
Wang Yingchen said seriously, "Your Majesty has given instructions before coming here. If anyone disobeys orders, he can report to the commander-in-chief and be punished by military law! Two days later, the subordinates went to the state capitals to make preparations.
As long as the commander-in-chief needs it, he only needs to give an order, and the subordinates will definitely not hold him back!"
"Well, thank you, Lord Wang, for taking the trouble!"
Shen Tang smiled and said that having such a person as his assistant would indeed save him a lot of things.
Otherwise, just the deployment and arrangement of food, grass, and military pay would require a lot of experience.
In addition, Wang Yingchen has always been a fair and honest official, so Shen Tang will not worry about corruption if he leaves these matters to him.
This time, the leader of Chen's troops in the northern border was naturally Shen Tang, the Xuanfu envoy! Zhang Jun was assisted by three deputy envoys! Among them, Zhang Jun naturally led the troops together with Shen Tang, while Chen Junqing and Wang Yingchen were responsible for logistics respectively. Food and grass, reporting to the court, negotiating with other countries, etc.
In fact, Chen Junqing's position is almost equivalent to that of a military supervisor!
The supervisors of the army in the Song Dynasty can be roughly divided into three categories, one of which is the eunuchs who supervise the army! From the founding of the Song Dynasty to before Jingkang, eunuchs supervising the army were very popular, and many eunuchs gained real power.
For example, Yang Jian and Tong Guan both served as supervisors of the army! However, after the Jingkang Incident, eunuchs and supervisors of the army were basically eliminated.
It's not for other reasons, but it's because the eunuchs and supervisors have had such a bad reputation in the past hundred years! Tong Guan, Yang Jian and others are actually quite outstanding.
Therefore, when Zhao Gou established the country, most of the eunuchs were officials directly appointed by the emperor! They could be important officials in the court, or they could be nobles of low rank.
However, no matter which one he is, he is basically someone whom the emperor can trust.
And this Chen Junqing was appointed by the emperor, but he just had the title of deputy envoy.
As for the third category, they are the supervisory troops among the troops of each department! For example, Shen Tang has tens of thousands of troops. Not only is Zhang Jun in charge of the army alone, but there are also Shao Hongyuan, Bian Xi, etc. who are in charge of the troops of the headquarters! Among these armies, There are also supervisors, but they are appointed by the coach Shen Tang.
Of course, war is an important matter for the country, and both the court and the emperor will use a variety of methods!
For example, the Imperial City Division, in addition to ordinary investigations, also has the right to monitor things in the military! Just like among the soldiers and horses of various ministries, there is no telling which one will be the Imperial City Division's spy!
Including letting Wang Yingchen take charge of food, grass and military pay, they are also mutual checks! After all, no matter how powerful the troops are, they still need food, grass and military pay. If they are all controlled by the commander-in-chief, the court will naturally be uneasy.
Shen Tang knew this very well, but he did not reject it and even sincerely welcomed it.
After all, he had never thought about rebellion, and if Wang Yingchen really wanted to cause trouble, he, as a coach, would not be a vegetarian.
Now, Chen Junqing, the deputy envoy, has not arrived yet, and only Shen Tang and the others are sitting here!
After chatting with Wang Yingchen for a while, Shen Tang asked Wang Yingchen to go to rest first! At night, Shen Tang personally hosted a dinner for Wang Yingchen.
About half a month later, Nong Liqiang sent another military report. It turned out that all the defeated troops of Luo's Ghost Country had been wiped out, and according to Shen Tang's order, they began to march towards Luo's Ghost Country!
This time, the Changning Army, the Division Ying Division, the Wumeng Mountain Division, and the Qiongbu Prefecture tribes entered the army! In addition, the Nanping Army went south to join the Zunyi Army and blockade the entire western border of the Luo Shi Ghost Kingdom!
After receiving a message from Shen Tang, the Jiazong tribe joined forces with the Dali Kingdom of 60,000 troops and marched directly into Puli!
Puri is located in the southernmost part of Luo's Ghost Kingdom. It was originally the capital of Luo Dian Kingdom! However, after Luo Dian Kingdom was annexed by Luo's Ghost Kingdom, Puri became the southern important town of Luo's Ghost Kingdom.
Although there are ghost soldiers stationed in Puri, the Jiazong tribe today is no longer what it used to be!
In addition to the ancestral land of the Jiazong tribe, the Songmeng tribe and the Luojia tribe have become affiliated tribes, and many small tribes have directly joined the Jiazong tribe!
Especially the original tribes in eastern Yunnan feared and hated the Jiazong tribe! They never even thought of finding an opportunity to teach the Jiazong tribe a lesson.
However, every time I think of that name, it will make all the tribes in eastern Yunnan tremble! The word Shen Tang is enough to stop children from crying in all tribes in eastern Yunnan!
This time the Jiazong tribe sent troops, and the Dali Kingdom also allocated more than 10,000 troops and horses from Shanchan Mansion to accompany them to the north. The surrounding small tribes even had 800 troops from your family and 1,000 troops from each family.
Therefore, the Jiazong tribe, which originally planned to send only 20,000 to 30,000 troops, had already grown to 60,000 troops by the time they arrived at Dunijiang (the border between Dali and Luo's Ghost Kingdom).
The generals leading the army were brothers Murong Zhong and Murong Wu!
Murong Wu sent an army to completely block the southern border of Luo family, and ordered Murong Zhong to lead 20,000 troops directly into Puri territory!
Although Puli had some ghost soldiers, how could he be a match for Murong Zhong's 20,000-strong army?
After only holding on for a few days, Murong Zhong captured the city of Puli. As for some small tribes in the Puli land, they were directly swept away by the army without any resistance! At this point, the entire Luo family was controlled by Shen Tang. Nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses were completely surrounded, and it was only a matter of time before the country was destroyed!
