The war was still going on. Fu Bi really didn't want to discuss the matter of merit and reward. His original intention was to remind the officials of the edict without first merit. As a result, the officials decided in a few words.
In other words, the cabinet needs to use these few words from the officials as principles to formulate the final regulations on rewards based on merit.
Is it too early? In fact, for the imperial court, it is not too early. Although the country is not wary of the generals on the border now, and the basic principle of strong branches and weak branches is deeply ingrained, it does not want the strong army that has experienced the war to last long.
Border village.
In other words, the moment the war comes to an end, it will be the moment when the soldiers who have been fighting for more than a year will return home... It seems that the military officials also have this intention.
As for whether to be wary of the soldiers or to be considerate of the soldiers, it is a matter of opinion. However, no one talks about it, everyone understands it.
"The official decree is a bit broad and difficult to implement!"
Wang Gui actually has such considerations? Yes, the officialdom is involved in the cabinet and can share in the destruction of the country, but Wang Gui really has no sense of existence.
"What's not easy to do? The official will is very clear. The imperial court, civil servants, generals, troops, generals, generals, lieutenants, soldiers, all those who participated in this war can be rewarded based on their merits."
"Considering this battle to destroy the country as a test paper for a major examination, every yamen, every team, including every general and soldier, including civil servants, etc., are treated as a scholar taking the examination. What they do is
Their answer sheets can be used to judge the entire battle merit with the eyes of the examiner!"
"For example, for a court yamen, how many first-class yamen are there? Which yamen can be ranked first-class? It only depends on the responsibilities the yamen has undertaken in this war, and how well it has completed its duties. In the same way, in a team, each general,
Even the heroic fighting reports reported by various armies, right down to the soldiers, can be judged in this way."
At first glance, Fu Bi thought Wang Anshi was referring to Wang Gui's question. After thinking about it carefully, he found that what Wang Anshi said seemed to be the official's original intention. It seemed to be really feasible. The key is that this could bring together all the people involved.
All factors of this war are included...
"Jiefu, if possible, Jiefu might as well put this proposal into writing and have the cabinet submit it to the officials for decision. What do you think?"
Everyone praised: Good!
······
Dingzhou, Xingzhou, Jingzhou, Huaizhou, Shunzhou, Lingzhou, this is the territory that the Xixia people are still holding on to until now. Excluding the herdsmen, this area now has nearly a million soldiers from both the Song and Xia Dynasties.
.
Since the formation of the large encirclement, the fighting has never stopped for a moment. If the center of Gao Zunyu's department was a meat grinder at the beginning, it is now a slaughterhouse.
Every day there are offensive and defensive battles in all directions, breakout and counter-breakout battles, positional battles, charge battles, not to mention the constant encounters between the forwards of both sides...
It's not that the Xingqing Mansion has never thought about breaking out of the encirclement. Since recruiting all the string-controlling warriors, the Xixia people have been trying to break out of the encirclement. Di Qing, Zhong Jia, and Guo Kui on the southern front have avoided it, thinking that the northern line will be easier.
But how could Wang Shao and Li Xianbu be the same people as Yi? With nearly a hundred thousand troops, they had built a solid line of defense that could not be broken open at all.
The recruited cannon fodder rushed over again and again, falling in piles, but the gunpowder bombs of the Song people seemed to be endless, and the soldiers of the Song Dynasty also seemed to be endless. Who would have thought that the northern line of Xingqing Prefecture also had
Such a brave army defense?
What's more, since the encirclement was closed, the various armies have been connected from beginning to end. The deployment and deployment of troops between each other have no distinction between each other in the tacit understanding of the commanders. It is completely a large army acting.
Not surprisingly, those who came to fight Xixia this time were all soldiers of the New Army. They were all brought out by the soldiers from the old guard battalion in groups. The entire tactical skills were almost the same. Division of troops and combination of troops. For the soldiers,
There is no difficulty whatsoever.
In the past, there may have been the so-called shortcomings of the generals not knowing the soldiers and the soldiers not knowing the generals. Since the official military system was implemented in the dynasty, the entire army of the dynasty, commanded by any general, would be the same when executing military orders.
the same.
For Xingqing Mansion, it is suffering now...
The imperial edict without saying anything was very timely. After the armies from all walks of life gathered together, and when they were approaching Xingqing Mansion, the imperial edict arrived. It had a clear meaning, and all the commanders knew it. When the pass was finally closed,
An inconspicuous oversight may lead to wasted effort.
Therefore, after the armies from all walks of life converged, they communicated with each other and reached a consensus... to advance as a whole, and there must be no flaw in any line of defense.
This is really torture.
All charges are ineffective. Even if they can open a gap to a certain extent, the gap will be filled by a steady stream of Song troops. Xingqing Mansion even deliberately exposed the loopholes in the defense, hoping to lure a certain team to rush in...
·However, the Song army was indifferent and continued to advance the entire encirclement.
There was only such a small space, and the surrounding Song army was squeezing it bit by bit. It was not just a simple attack on the city, which can describe the mentality of the Xixia people at this time.
The Xixia people regretted it very much. If they had known or sensed the intentions of the Song Dynasty at the beginning of the war, or even when Gao Zunyu's tribe fell into the territory, they might not have ended up like this.
Hundreds of thousands of elite cavalry can attack any team of the Song Army and open a gap without difficulty.
If that happens, hundreds of thousands of party members will march north or west. Once they enter the grassland, the world is so vast that there is no possibility of a comeback.
But now, in such a small space, they were besieged by hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Song Army, and they were still besieged by the military formation of chariots... There was no possibility of escaping.
"Looking at the situation in the past two days, Xingqing Mansion may not have the courage to continue fighting, and it will be unsustainable, right?"
Gao Zunyu has now returned to the team, and he is very aggressive, but in front of Di Qing, Zhongja and others, he is still a little more reserved.
Every few days, the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of each army will gather together to discuss the new situation, following the official model of pre-war headquarters discussions.
"Lieutenant Gao thinks it's time to attack?"
"No, I am worried that the Xixia people are about to surrender. This will make it difficult to achieve the official combat goal of annihilating the effective forces!"
Di Qing and Guo Kui looked at each other, and then at Wang Shao. Forget it, he might not mind if he had a jaw. Although Gao Zunyu wanted to express something that should be shocking, what he mentioned may not be impossible.
"Are hundreds of thousands of people really going to be killed like this?"
Wang Shao was a civil servant and held a military position. There were some things that were hard to say to generals, especially the old generals who couldn't speak. He didn't care. Do you really want to kill hundreds of thousands of people?
If they were really killed, the Battle of Changping would probably not be a big deal.
