The busy construction site seems to have no intention of stopping. The construction site dogs are wielding stone adzes and shovels, and they are still sweating worthless.
Many old soldiers have served their motherland for thirty years, but for the first time in thirty years, they saw their superiors giving them new clothes.
Really new clothes are not tatters made by mending, but bright and new cloth clothes. The cloth is coarse cloth, and the clothes are good clothes. In addition, there are four kinds of sandals, wooden clogs, reed sandals and cloth shoes.
All old soldiers over thirty-five years old are eligible to receive it, and some old soldiers are over fifty years old... If you go to a big country like Wu State, even if you have many children and grandchildren, you can't at least get some living expenses from the king every year.
questionable.
But in a small country, it's different. It means tax reduction or exemption.
No matter what era, obligations and rights are always exchanged, they may not necessarily be equal, but people of different eras have slightly different bottom lines.
As a result, the intelligence dealers who had been able to obtain good returns with a little effort in the past were defeated by the fortification array of Biyang Kingdom for the first time.
Not only were they defeated, but these intelligence dealers were also deceived 50 to 60 times out of 10.
"Catch a dog agent—"
The sound mixed with joy and excitement almost pierced the sky. The ancestor carrying the pole spoke in the Yinxiang dialect with a difficult Huainan accent.
There is no way, now the boss is County Magistrate Li, and everyone is following suit, not only the martyrs from all over the world, but also the Song Army.
It's a pity that "bird language" is extremely difficult to learn, and many of County Magistrate Li's vocabulary are simply bizarre, making it completely difficult to figure out what a word means.
"Catch the dog agent—"
There are more than a dozen construction site dogs running very fast. County Magistrate Li, the boss of the dog, has already spoken out. If a "dog agent" is caught, the golden ticket will be huge.
Anyway, the princes now say that the peacekeeping force of Biyang Kingdom is the king's army of Wu.
Justice, absolute justice!
"Don't rob, don't rob, don't beat him to death! Capture him alive, capture him alive, capture him alive, oh, you're a coward, what kind of rocks are you throwing at him? If you kill him, it's not worth anything!"
Money is a good thing. On the construction site of the peacekeeping force, money is copper coins, silver coins, gold coins...iron coins.
Yes, County Magistrate Li is quite bad, but money made of iron is quite popular.
A large number of small markets have been set up within the "Second Ring Road" of Biyang Country. These markets allow more than 100,000 construction site dogs to trade with local dogs in Biyang Country. In addition to Chinese people, savages also participated in this enthusiastic activity. To
We know that once the hundreds of thousands of construction site dogs are in heat, the regular army of Qi State's Nulu alone will not be able to handle them.
To develop large-scale enterprises, we must also affirm the role of small, medium and micro enterprises in market economic activities.
Create jobs, create value, build a harmonious society, and build a better future.
To be harmonious, to be happy, not to be dirty...
The total number of construction site dogs who can receive wages is not large. In addition to physical wages, metal currency as a general equivalent has become an important circulation item in Biyang large construction sites.
There is no other way. Having money can improve your life, and you can even have some luxury. After buying local chicken, you can also eat stir-fried vegetables.
The price of cooking is a little more expensive than buying local chicken, because iron pots are rare, and the total number of iron pots in the entire Biyang construction site, both inside and outside the city, is less than a thousand.
Six to seven hundred of the iron pots are used in the camp, and the remaining half are in Biyang City. Construction site dogs cannot enter the "inner ring" for consumption. Soldiers control them. This is County Magistrate Li's tortoise.
The social law of the dog pack is that all dogs, big and small, obey the dog king.
Many of the hundreds of thousands of construction site dogs are illiterate, but in just ten days they learned the word money.
It was created by County Magistrate Li, even if you don’t know it, you will recognize it.
The metal coins minted in Jiangyin are a little different. They all have round holes. The current currency value of iron coins is actually similar to that of copper coins, or even a little higher.
A spy can receive a reward of 4,000 dysprosium from the combat headquarters, which is the price of ten slaves, which is about 20,000 Jiangyin copper coins.
Twenty thousand copper coins are enough for an old soldier from a small country to improve the life of his family, but he needs to take the money back himself, or use the money to purchase supplies locally. No matter which one it is, it is the category of "getting rich overnight"
.
However, in most cases, it is difficult for a spy to be caught by one person, and it often requires a joint roundup of a small team on the construction site to catch the spy.
Those who can work as spies these days have extraordinary skills and very good physical strength. Ordinary soldiers or cannon fodder can vomit after chasing for half a mile, how can they expect to be caught in the end?
In addition to the spies of the Song Dynasty, many spies from other countries, large and small, were arrested.
There are those from Chu State, some from Cai State, some from Qi State, some from Lu State, and even the northernmost countries like Yan State and Dai State.
But this is normal and not surprising. These countries have built such large-scale and seemingly good-quality defenses in such a short period of time after discovering Biyang Kingdom. How can they pretend to be blind?
The alliance between the "princes" of Wu and Jin is not as attractive as the current battle of forcing Yang.
If the two superpowers want to cause trouble, then let's do it. They can't stop it anyway. They can't go to war with Wu and Jin at the same time. But the situation here in Biyang is too weird.
Dense walls, endless ditches, and after the ditches were connected, a large number of bamboo rafts were shuttled back and forth. Various strange passwords and management methods, but they sorted out dozens of forces of different sizes, and
There was no chaos.
What shocked other countries even more was that County Magistrate Li could withstand the pressure of hard work!
Not only could he bear it, while County Magistrate Li was frantically building the "Second Ring Road" in Biyang, one of his right-hand men, Sha Zhongha, who was "bloody in five steps", actually went south to do a big deal.
Destroy a country in one day, and triumph in victory.
This made the dozens of national forces, large and small, who supported County Magistrate Li feel that this was a sure thing. Why was it so unstable? The dog boss was now at ease. Otherwise, how could he have left the most ferocious, iron-blooded and savage Shah outside?
Normally, you should keep it with you.
As soon as the saucy operation came out, the news that Shah had destroyed Shulong Kingdom spread in Biyang Kingdom, and the peacekeeping... engineering force's morale was unprecedentedly stable.
On the other hand, the Song State was disgusted. They had secretly taken a detour in the hope of flanking the Yang State.
I thought I was walking safely and absolutely, but who would have thought that the other side would have a clairvoyant look at me. Song Jun was so shameless that he was ambushed by Sha Heng as soon as he reached Weishan.
There were no half-crossing attacks, but there were half-crossing waves. The Song troops who landed had no time to establish a stronghold, but were charged by Sha Heng and pushed directly back to Surabaya to the west of Weishan.
After successfully killing seven or eight hundred heads in one blow, the crocodile men and brave men, who only had a total of more than 400 people, retreated directly from the valley with three to four thousand crossbowmen.
Being discovered through the detour was already very demoralizing, and they were also ambushed. Not only was the ambush ambush, but because the Song army was crossing the river at that time and the rear could not support Pao Ze in front, they could only watch Sha Heng killing people wantonly.
The difference between the two sides in field combat lies in their elite equipment.
The junior officers of the Song Army discovered that the enemy's armor rate was so high that they did not look like a rabble at all.
No, it's not just that they're not like a mob, it's that ordinary tiger and wolf warriors are not armed like this.
How can any cannon fodder also wear armor? And the quality of the weapons in their hands is obviously not at the same level. The spearmen of the Song Army actually had their spears cut off, not the shaft part, but the metal spearhead...
The junior officers of the Song Dynasty did not believe that the King of Wu would give such good equipment to a group of savages, but the reality was so cruel, and a half-crossed attack exposed quite a few problems.
The biggest problem for Song officers is that they actually have no idea what the opponent's situation is.
The allied forces of the Song Dynasty were not unaware of the principle of knowing oneself and the enemy. The early diplomatic attempts of the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers were enough to prove that they had such awareness. However, the ideal was very full and the reality was very skinny.
The overall diplomatic failure has nothing to do with the strength of Song and Biyang. It is purely Song's international credit that has become a junk stock.
The sequelae of the last "Battle of Forced Yang", coupled with the fact that the strong man Li Jie relied on the superpower Wu State to force the king of Yang State to force Yangzi to receive various favors, in this "War of Forced Yang", although the
Some countries and forces are speculating and preparing to make a profit from it.
But there are not a few countries that vote with their feet, such as a pocket-sized country like the State of Xi. As an envoy of the superior state, Li Jie did not intimidate the small country of the State of Xi. He gained perfect favor from the king of the State of Xi.
What's more, there is a model project like Biyang Kingdom. Everyone knows that standing on Li Jie's side may not necessarily bring many benefits, but there are definitely no disadvantages.
If Li Jie has a mouthful of meat, Yu Bao will not just drink soup.
This can be seen, heard and touched.
Diplomatic efforts were completely bankrupt. All the Song State could do was to get things on the battlefield that could not be obtained at the negotiation table. After all, only the winners can speak. No matter how good the loser's character is, if he loses, he loses.
It's a pity that the fierce man of the Wu Kingdom who was as reckless as a wild dog last year is actually as cowardly as a local dog this time. The "turtle style" is just that, he is still a super "turtle style". The Song Kingdom tried several times and feinted, but there were no birds on the opposite side.
Birds, let the Song Dynasty make a noise with gongs and drums in the west of Surabaya and flutter colorful flags in the sky.
In County Magistrate Li's view, Song's intimidation was like a sports meeting and was a deterrent to others. What has Magistrate Li not seen before? In this scene, you are nothing if you have too many people.
Military intimidation has no effect at all, so it is normal for the Jin and Yuan Dynasties to clear the way. If intimidation fails, bribery and careful spies are no problem, not to mention that there are too many people in the Song Dynasty to survive in the Biyang Kingdom.
Some Biyang savages were originally raised by the Song State. When they are used, they must make the best use of their resources and their talents.
But I never expected that the bribery operation that had always been successful in the past would encounter an unprecedented blockage this time.
Moreover, the Biyang Kingdom side does not seem to care about these espionage operations, and there is currently no detailed operation that would actually make the Biyang Kingdom coalition forces take action.
All captured craftsmen and spies were self-arrested on the construction site and then escorted to the coalition headquarters, where "Guan Li" sent from the coalition forces came for interrogation.
The interrogation method was also very rough. A meeting was held and the public trial was conducted in detail. At the same time, certain rewards were given to the workers who participated in the arrest. In addition, military merits were also recorded, especially the latter, which was a major benefit.
Because there are very few channels to obtain military merit. Only crocodiles, brave men, and crossbowmen who are selected into the crossbow array can obtain a certain number of heads in field battles or when defending certain strongholds.
Catching spies can lead to military success, which is a huge temptation for most workers on construction sites to advance.
Even if you don't return to China, if you follow Li Jie to Jiangyin City, you can get a green card and buy a house. This page of life will be completely different.
The public trial process was also very rough. With tens of thousands of people watching, the details of the crime had to be clearly explained according to the requirements of "Guan Li". The pressure on the details at this time was unprecedented.
Because at this moment, Xizuo appears as the "enemy" of tens of thousands of people. Emotionally, he is being hostile to tens of thousands of people. It feels extremely sour.
Most of the detailed works explain things clearly and clearly. There are also die-hards. Most of these people are nobles. They are the standard for ministers and ministers. Some are even scholars from certain countries.
However, what amazed hundreds of thousands of construction site dogs was that Li Jie killed the noble!
After the interrogation process of "Guan Li" was completed, the die-hard elements were not given a second chance and were executed on the spot.
In front of tens of thousands of people, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the executioner slashed forward with a knife, and the head fell to the ground. The whole place was silent, and then... amazing cheers broke out.
Where this kind of cheering comes from, actually the construction site dogs can't tell, but they always feel that cheering at this time is appropriate and happy.
The intelligence war was even more bankrupt than the diplomatic efforts of the Song monarchs and ministers. This also resulted in the Song army still having an ignorant and unreasonable superiority mentality towards the enemy.
It's just that this psychological advantage was established because of information asymmetry. The upper-class nobles were worried, but the front-line combat officers and soldiers were ignorant. They judged the strength of the enemy and ourselves. First, they believed that the Song State was strong and forced Yang Guoruo, and the enemy was weak.
I'm strong, so what's there to be afraid of?
Second, the Song army was preparing for war in full swing, and the enemy troops were cowering and did not dare to move. No matter how you looked at the enemy, they were all intimidated.
However, this psychological advantage gradually began to disintegrate as the Song Army's secret detours on the northern front were discovered and an ambush was set.
The former army was the first to start to have self-doubt, and it was no good if it was not doubtful. Because Shaheng led his troops to harass continuously, the Song army was unable to open up the situation. It had just established a foothold in Hedong and had not yet begun to deploy anti-horse, antlers, and enemy troops on the opposite side.
The rain of arrows is simply the passage of locusts.
In every attack, the enemy would shoot at least six to seven thousand arrows, and then leave immediately without any delay.
If the Song army pursues, most of them will be slow, and small units will be counterattacked. After repeated back and forth, the Song army on the northern front will be jumping around Weishan like zombies.
If the vanguard fails and the situation is delayed, it will naturally affect the arrangement of the entire army.
You must know that the strategic decision of the Song Army's senior leaders was to outflank and avoid the enemy's solid defensive positions in Hedong, and then attack from the north and south to break through the weak layers in the north and south of Biyang's "Second Ring". After tearing open the opening, they naturally drove straight in, and the entire
To force the country of Yang is to defend it without any danger.
In theory, it only takes one day to reach the city, but this day is simply out of reach for the current Song army.
But the kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty still had to bite the bullet.
It's not that they are stubborn, but after passing this village, there really is no such store.
After Wu and Jin became kings of each other, the two countries would definitely have to quickly digest the fat they had eaten. The kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty would not dare to bet on how long this digestion period would be.
Maybe one or two years, maybe three to five years, but it could also be two or three months.
This is equivalent to saying that this is the last strategic window period for the Song State. If it is missed, the two superpowers Wu and Jin will be right next door. How much national power does the Song State need to support border defense and alert?
Even though the Song Dynasty was a rich country, its geographical location was awkward after all, and with two powerful powers on its side, it would only be drained of its wealth, and it would most likely become a cash machine for a big country.
If you don't capture the Biyang Kingdom and seize the strategic location, you won't be able to break the "encirclement".
If you capture the Biyang Kingdom and face the Wu Kingdom, you will have a buffer. If necessary, you can smash it to pieces without leaving a single coin to the Wu Kingdom.
The Jin State's power in the south was just an enclave. The Song State could not deal with the Jin State. But what pressure would it have to deal with an enclave of the Jin State that did not have Jin people as the main population?
Therefore, the Song Dynasty had to fight and persisted.
In the eyes of the international community, the Song State is completely mentally retarded, and the Biyang State is now like a millstone. If you knock it on it, you will either die or be injured. Why should you knock it to death?
"Urgent report! Sha Hen beheaded eight hundred people in Wei Valley!"
"Follow me and report to the General!"
"yes!"
Yubao, the son of Biyang, was very shameless this time. After consulting with the kings of more than a dozen small countries, he appointed Li Jie, the son of Jiangyin, as the general of Biyang and other countries.
County Magistrate Li hung up more than a dozen general seals this time. Originally, some of these general seals belonged to others, but the command power rested with him, and those generals from small countries naturally followed suit.
And the general doesn't sound generous enough. With so many countries and so many righteous men, he must be considered a top general.
General, this sounds very unusual and high-ranking.
"The crossbowman of the crossbow formation under the banner, who is also the 'cavalry officer' of the North Camp, was ordered by Captain Sha to come to report the victory. Report to the general, the enemy in the Wei Valley, ambushed our army, and the enemy's army was frustrated when crossing the river.
Thousands were lost, but Captain Sha led his troops to kill 800!"
"Oh? Sha Hen's okay, he's already playing at his level."
County Magistrate Li was very calm, not like a soldier who came to deliver orders. At this time, his whole body was excited, and his whole dark face was holding back the blood.
Li Jie's calmness shocked all the coalition "leaders" in the combat headquarters and expressed their admiration in their hearts.
In fact, Mr. Li is so happy now that he wants to roar loudly. But to show off, it must be invisible and colorless, making people feel full of force.
"Your name is Xiang Jia?"
"Come back, General, that's right!"
"A native of Xiang country?"
"yes!"
"Here comes someone."
"exist!"
"If Mr. Xiang has meritorious service, please inform all the tribes." After a pause, Li Jiecai said nonchalantly, "By the way, let me tell you about the eight hundred kills of the Sha Heng Formation."
