Chapter 319: Zhejia's tune does not listen to propaganda
It’s also hard for Jing Xun.
It is really not easy for people who betray their own race to stand out in another environment and maintain their status.
With all the brains Jing Xun put into trying to please the Emperor of Daxia, and just because he could make a prototype of the musket, he might not be able to get a good position under Zhao Xi.
You are a great person, how can you be a thief!
Maybe he was stunned by the firecrackers, or maybe he was led astray by Jing Xun's monkey trick, or maybe Jing Xun really dispelled Li Liang's fear of the rumors about firearms... The key is that the entire Daxia court was unanimously concerned.
Determination to fight a war.
Then let’s fight!
This time, nearly 200,000 cavalry could basically be organized, and even Li Liangjiao was determined to fight.
Zhao Xi was right about one thing. The insult to Wu Zong was not the main reason for the war. The dead people, the dead warriors of various families, and the grain and wool transactions operated by Xue Xiang were the main reasons for the war.
Xixia people pay more attention to practicality and interests than the Song Dynasty. They have to do these empty jobs based on their needs.
So, at this time, the two sides reached a consensus for a war.
With such a dense cavalry entering the city from Xingqing Mansion and the appearance of noble leaders from various families, it was natural that they could not be hidden from the prying eyes of the Imperial City Secretary.
And for such a large-scale cavalry attack, the battlefield that can be chosen is naturally self-evident.
…
"Da Lang, the Western bandits have not yet attacked the stronghold today..."
Ordinarily, in the military, everyone should be addressed according to their military rank or position, but this is an exception in Linfu Prefecture.
Formally, the two prefectures of Lin Prefecture were indeed county offices of the imperial dynasty, but the chief officials had always been hereditary.
From the beginning of the dynasty, Taizu had given the Zhe family such treatment, and they would listen to announcements but not instructions. In other words, the Zhe family had considerable discretionary power in Lin Mansion.
There is no such thing as family generals and tribes in the country, but in the two prefectures of Linfu, all the soldiers seem to only recognize family members.
Zhe Kerou's long-term follower, even in the army, it is not surprising that he is called this.
Zhe Kerou belongs to the eighth generation of the Zhe family, and has always been called Dalang at home.
"My father once analyzed the letter from my second brother. This time, the Western bandits will definitely harass all areas, but the final point of attack will be either Qinzhou or Yanzhou."
"Our Lin Mansion is just playing the side drum and can't do the main attack, so there is no real possibility of making achievements..."
Zhe Kerou is six or seven years older than Zhe Keke, already over thirty, and now he is just a commander, which means that he can only command a maximum of five hundred people according to his military rank.
And Zhe Keke... his current military rank is almost on par with the head of the family, Zhe Kerou's father, Zhe Jizu.
At the beginning, the family did not attach much importance to His Highness the Crown Prince. They only wanted to support him as the sole heir to the dynasty and sent the second son of the family to mess around, just like the Zhong family.
I just didn't expect that what I thought was just for the prince's fun would actually become a thing and become such a famous person.
The second brother once came back as the commander of the guard camp on patrol. When they saw the soldiers of the guard camp who did not piss themselves and even ignored their father, and were extremely respectful to the second brother, the whole family knew that they were wrong.
.
As for the second brother, he has a stronger sense of belonging to the Guard Camp than to the family of Lin Mansion!
"This time I go to Qinzhou, I don't know what kind of treatment I will get..."
Zhe Kerou looked at his long-term follower... There was no one around, and he was born in a family, so this was something he could say.
The imperial dynasty trained the new army. There were 40,000 to 50,000 standing troops in the two prefectures of Lin Prefecture. The imperial dynasty only gave training targets for the new army in the two capitals, and all the new armies were not born in the same family.
This is already the maximum limit.
This is the result of Zhao Xi's argument in the court.
According to the agreement of the court, the training of the new army must leave the entire Lin Mansion aside. The reason is very good, because the Zhe family will listen to the instructions but not the propaganda.
Zhe Keke also knew the situation. Even if he went home to visit relatives, he would just tell the truth.
Zhe Keke is no longer a member of the Zhe family. He is the commander of the escort battalion and one of the leaders of His Royal Highness the Prince's army. He was educated by Zhao Xi's rules and regulations and was instilled with a whole set of family and country concepts by the escort battalion.
Folding is feasible.
Even he himself thinks that his family has done something inappropriate at this point.
His Highness the Crown Prince was not an ordinary person, not even any emperor he knew from the history books. Once His Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne, if the family continued like this, he really didn't know where it would end up.
The key is that even his family now has a large part of its income derived from His Highness the Crown Prince's industrial chain.
"Don't talk nonsense..."
Zhe Kerou wanted to say something more, but suddenly stopped.
It cannot be said, it cannot be said, and there is no reason to say it.
He understood the equipment of the new army of the Kuomintang Dynasty. As the eldest son of Zhe, he had a complete set of equipment. Therefore, he knew very well that once the new army of the Kuomintang Dynasty was established, the Zhe family would have to make a choice...
"Commander, we have detected any unusual movement in the Western Bandit camp on the other side of the Jialu River..."
"What's going on?"
"It seems they are withdrawing, or partially withdrawing."
Are they going to withdraw? It seems that just as his father said, Lin Mansion is still playing a supporting role. Even Xixia does not regard Lin Mansion as the main point of attack.
In other words, Xixia also knew the situation of the Zhe family in the Song Dynasty. Coupled with the business dealings between the two parties...
Sometimes I suspect that the entire Western Army has a split personality.
In terms of combat power, the Western Army of the Guo Dynasty ranked first. No one dared to compete with the Western Army, and they fought with all their might against the Xixia people.
However, the strange thing is that once the border is at peace, the two sides are busy exchanging what they have, or exchanging what they have without going through the negotiation process.
Especially for a family like the Zhejia, which has lived on the border for a long time, this is why the court was on guard against the Zhejia in everything.
Just like now, when they see something strange happening in the Xixia camp, everyone is thinking about whether they can have a fight...
"Where is the new army?"
"Back to the commander, the new army has been training along the border these days. It should be almost at our camp at this time."
The investigating soldier didn't know why the commander asked the New Army. However, he was still aware of the New Army's movements and had been paying attention... It was not surveillance, but envy. Whether it was treatment or equipment, he was envious.
"Let's go and meet the commander of the new army..."
The number of troops in the opponent's camp has decreased, which is a good opportunity. If there is the participation of the new army, the certainty should be greater... They have gunpowder shells and wheel cannons.
"Niu Xiaowei, the number of soldiers in the Western Bandit Camp on the other side of the Jialu River is decreasing..."
Looking at the guard camp, you can see that even an ordinary soldier has reached the eighth rank... Even Dalang, the son of his family, has to be respectful when talking to others.
"The commander means a fight?"
"Kerou has indeed thought so. Now Captain Niu is passing by and wants to invite Captain Niu to discuss with him..."
I'm embarrassed to say that I want to see the new army's tactics, let alone that I want to cooperate in a fight.
The Zhe family listened to the tune but not the propaganda. At this time, the new army in Linfu also listened to the tune but not the propaganda.
"Since Commander Zhe intends to fight, let's fight."
