The Northern Liao Dynasty studied and judged the battle situation, but to the Song Dynasty court, it was reported in real time.
Each road has soldiers who are dedicated to reporting the battle situation. The closeness of the military stations and the sufficient number of carefully selected post horses can fully guarantee the timely reporting of the report to the court.
This is when the real good news comes frequently.
After nearly annihilating tens of thousands of Xixia cavalry, Di Qing's tribe marched a hundred miles north...~
Zhong'e advanced two hundred miles at an extremely fast speed and started a fierce battle with the Xixia defenders. Under the absolute advantage of tanks and firearms, the Xixia defense line collapsed...
Wang Shao and Li Xian had nearly 100,000 soldiers. They divided their forces to fight against the Baimaqiangzhen Military Division and the Youxiang Chaoshun Military Division. They completely suppressed them with firepower. It was just around the corner to capture these two military divisions in Xixia...
Cao Lin returned to the team, and Guo Kui's troops were once again fully equipped, and after Wang Shao and Li Xian's troops went south, they began to sweep westward from Dijinze...
Xiong Benzhi and Zheji Min's tribe have joined forces, and the army has arrived at Lingbo Mountain. They are fighting against the heavy Xixia defense forces in Lingbo Mountain. After crossing Lingbo Mountain, the army can capture Yingli City...~
There has been no interruption in reporting in the past few days, with reports coming from all armies almost every day.
After the Battle of Hedong, Zhao Xi once again moved his living room to the Qinzheng Hall and faced the sand table all day long.
The cabinet ministers once again agreed on a duty system to ensure that at least two cabinet ministers are on duty at the Qinzheng Hall every night.
The Privy Council, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Three Envoys' Department, and the Gongfang City all arrange officials of a certain level to wait in the Qinzheng Hall to accept inquiries from officials at any time.
When the war began, the consumption of all materials suddenly soared, and the requisition of civilians almost reached the limit...
The current dependence of the military on armaments is really not comparable to the original combat method!
Five years ago, under the instructions of the officials, Gongfang City began to reserve various firearms for this war. Even so, the various firearms workshops in Gongfang City are now working day and night.
The original rotating civilian service has directly become a permanent one...~ But the current civilian service is different from the past. It no longer involves preparing vehicles for transportation at home. Instead, it starts from the workshop city and goes to the front line, doing it at different military stations.
Moving work.
How should I put it? Judging from the rumors in the market, this is the most unpopular conscription of civil service in the country.
Since the officials and the cabinet agreed on the open war situation, almost all the people in the entire dynasty could comment on the war. The participation of the people was unprecedentedly high, and it also gave the people the consciousness to voluntarily perform civilian service.
Even merchants not only no longer occupied the tracks to transport goods, but even voluntarily petitioned the imperial court, willing to do their part to transport armaments for the imperial court...
This is the real battle that will overwhelm the country, the battle of the whole country!
"Officials, Mr. Ouyang and Sima Junshi jointly submitted a letter, requesting that the scholars be given a chance to participate in such important events as the country... ~ Isn't this adding chaos?"
Fu Bi couldn't explain how he felt. Scholars who had always been tired of war, and Sima Junshi, who always advocated the sage and kingly way, all threatened to contribute to the war effort.
He couldn't even figure out where such changes came from!
Zhao Xi understands, however, that whether it is the degree of volunteering for civilian service or the dedication of merchants, including even the scholars, it all stems from the sense of participation!
In the past, wars only belonged to the imperial court. Apart from hearing the news of success or failure, the rest had nothing to do with the subjects.
This time is very different. In order to recruit civilians, Zhao Xi intentionally or unintentionally revealed the information about the war situation when the big plan was formed...
A sense of participation is actually the most effective way to mobilize enthusiasm.
From the various comments in the reports from various places over the past year, Zhao Xi knew that a nationwide war had truly formed. It also attracted the attention of the entire country and focused on this war!
At this critical moment, the level of participation that I originally used my pen and my mouth to participate in could no longer express the enthusiasm accumulated in the past two years.
Therefore, the only option is to personally participate... In a war to destroy a country, I am lucky enough to be able to participate in it. It is a temptation for everyone, especially a war that is destined to succeed.
"Prime Minister Fu, the court has been advocating that scholars join the military for many years, but in fact there are very few scholars who abandon their studies and join the military."
"In fact, changes in the way of war do not require high levels of bravery from generals. Moreover, today's military command headquarters' combat staff model requires the intervention of scholars even more!"
"Since it is Ouyang Gong and Sima Gong who submitted the letter, it's OK! Scholars are allowed to participate in military transfer, civilian service management, pre-war secretary and other duties as trainees."
"At the same time, a small number of good family members can be selected to participate in the distribution and dispatch of arms in Gongfang City. Those who are willing to do math will be evaluated by Su Song, Shen Kuo, Jia Xian and others in Gongfang City. After the war, depending on the situation, they can directly
Defined job title."
"For those who participate in the post of secretary before the war and are interested in the military service, they can be recommended by the commander after the war and be directly awarded military positions and go to the martial arts hall for training..."
The official family is no longer simple.
Fu Bi had to admit that taking advantage of such a general trend might really guide the scholars' intention to join the army. This was not unacceptable to the scholar-bureaucrats.
Fu Bi knew about the military. Although he had never personally commanded a battle, he knew how tempting war was to young people...
This is just a small episode.
Zhao Xi and the cabinet still focus on the war situation.
During this period of time, many civil servants from various government offices in the Qinzheng Palace were laid off to serve the war.
Those who deliver the reports from the front, those who classify the reports from various armies, those who report to the cabinet and officials respectively, and those who compile the reports from the front into volumes at any time...
At this point, everyone present in the Qinzheng Hall of the imperial court almost had an image of the combat situation ahead.
At the same time, the entire war situation can be clearly understood from the various flags on the sand table.
Originally, Zhao Xi personally planted the flags on the sand table. Later, reports from the front came so frequently that Zhao Xi could no longer take care of them. The Privy Council and the Ministry of War specially dispatched scribes who were familiar with the terrain and military affairs to take charge of changing the flags on the sand table.
The flag of...
"No escape!"
Han Qi saw that flags symbolizing his own side had been planted in piles in the areas of Xingqing, Yinxia, and Xiping. After surrounding the flags symbolizing Xixia, he immediately made a conclusion.
Obviously, there is only one last step left before the final result.
Perhaps this last step was the fiercest resistance of the Xixia people, but in the end it would not change the result in any way.
"A journey of a hundred miles is half a mile! At this time, the court may need to remind the generals ahead not to be impatient."
"I am worried that the generals from all walks of life will recklessly abandon their own defense lines because they are the first to enter Xingqing, and are eager for quick success, which will eventually lead to the situation of a large siege and all previous efforts will be wasted!"
Zhang Fangping's words were not without purpose. Fu Bi also nodded, but looked at the officials.
"Just a reminder! In this war, for the various armies, there is no such thing as first success and second success. I believe that who or which army entered the Xixia Palace first does not mean that he has the greatest credit. The real credit is
