From Soldier To Emperor

Chapter 398: Standoff

In fact, these grass-roots military officers are not welcome in the Song Dynasty. The real powerful will not serve as small officials who manage a few or more than a dozen people. Therefore, these grass-roots military officers are promoted by ordinary soldiers.

Like those soldiers, they all serve as soldiers and eat food. Those who are really politically inclined are actually middle-level and high-level military attaches. Military attaches at this level also have at least a few hundred people in their hands. They can form a force that is worthy of the Song Dynasty court. Permeation of loyalty thoughts.

This is the reason why Richard only eliminated the middle and senior military attachés of the Song State, but left the basic-level military officers.

Of course, there are also too many grassroots officers, and Richard can't put so many people into it. Related...

Like soldiers, grassroots officers have been asked about their willingness to join the army. If there are vacancies for grassroots officers, they will be promoted according to the review of the soldiers by the middle and high-ranking officers placed by Richard. Soldiers with higher prestige were elected.

All in all, it is to play down the political influence of Song State in the Shazhou Army and strengthen the idea of ​​loyalty to the Ming State.

At least let the soldiers know who is giving them food and clothing now, so that they can understand ‘grateful’!

For the big soldiers at the bottom, the idea of ​​talking about loyalty is too far away, but the problem of eating and drinking is easy to understand. The soldiers often say that they eat food when they receive the food from the court, which means they will sell their lives for the court.

It is precisely because the thinking of soldiers in this era is hard to be influenced by loyalty and patriotism, that makes the conversion of prisoners of war extremely easy.

If placed in later generations, prisoners of war can't be used as an army to attack their home country except as coolies, otherwise they will just wait for the defiance in front of the battle!

The nationalism and nationalism of later generations are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is difficult for soldiers to aim their butcher knives at their home country, but this era does not have this problem at all. As long as they are given food, drink and money, except for their parents, relatives and friends, the emperor Laozi has the opportunity to do everything I can chop and offer it!

As for the nation...what is it, can it be eaten?

As for the country? The affairs of the court have something to do with us assholes?

As for loyalty? Ha ha da...

This is the common thinking of civilians and soldiers in this era!

After a group of ready-made mid-level and high-level officers landed in the air, the Shazhou Army quickly completed the reorganization, and even the weapons and equipment were their original swords, spears and matchlocks!

The battle formation was the same as the Song Army training they had originally undergone. Ming Guo had already studied the formation of the Song Army. After all, Ming Guo had used matchlocks before.

As the tactical weapons and equipment have not changed, the reorganized Shazhou Army quickly recovered its combat effectiveness, and at the end of September 2013, it opened to the terrified Song Army occupied area!

Richard's journey to regain lost land was naturally smooth sailing. The people in the occupied areas remained neutral to the rule of the Ming and Song states. The soldiers of the local government could not afford the courage to confront the Ming army, which had wiped out 100,000 Song army vanguards. The bureaucrats of the government ran and descended...

Those who ran to surrender were all low-ranking officials and officials.

After all, the people who opened the door and surrendered at the beginning were all high-ranking officials, and those low-ranking officials and officials just drifted with the crowd.

What's more, Richard still needs these people to manage the place, so naturally he can't pursue it.

You can't surrender in one place and you must slaughter this place from top to bottom. Everyone is Han. How many people will be left after the war?

Richard clearly remembered the battles between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Manchus in the history of the earth in the previous life, because they slaughtered each other according to their ‘hairstyle’, and finally set a record of population reduction comparable to a world war!

Now the East Asian population has experienced a green-skin catastrophe and cannot withstand the massacre of the Ming and Song Dynasties...

Not only Richard, but Song Jun also did not raise the butcher knife. Firstly, because the local government of the Ming Kingdom was very obedient and obedient, and secondly because the Southern Song Dynasty did not want a no-man's land!

This is a civil war of the Han people about orthodox. Both Ming and Song countries tacitly chose an army-to-army war without raising butcher knives against civilians.

This is fundamentally different from the alien invasion of the Ottoman Expeditionary Army.

Neither of the Ming and Song dynasties wanted to easily slaughter and ruin their orthodox reputation. It is still good for the army to pass by.

In the process of regaining the lost land, Richard did not pursue investigations except for the main criminal who had not had time to escape, but only collected some food and grass.

The war in this era is like this. Due to the backwardness of organization and mobilization, as long as the main force is annihilated, all but the big cities will voluntarily surrender and avoid military disasters.

This is also the description of war in history books. It is often written that after occupying a region's capital city, the entire region's city will be broken like the autumn wind sweeps down the leaves!

In fact, these cities voluntarily surrendered...

Even the capital city cannot be defended, so don't expect those small cities to fight to the end, unless it is an alien invasion or a new main force arrives.

After Yue Fei received the news of the extinction of the forward Song Army, he immediately ordered the troops to stop stationing on the original border of the Ming and Song Dynasties, because the Ming and Song borders had natural fortresses built by the Song State before, and most of them were permanent offensives~ www.wuxiahere.com~Connect into one piece.

The destruction of the 100,000 Song Army directly dispelled Yue Fei's desire to attack and attack, intending to confront the Ming Army for a long time.

As for those occupied areas, even if they were taken away by the Ming army, there was no loss to Song.

In this way, Richard easily regained the territory previously occupied by the Song Army and confronted Yue Fei's direct army, Yue Jiajun, hundreds of miles away.

However, Yue Fei could afford to wait, but Richard could not afford to wait.

The food consumed by the more than 70,000 sandbars every day is a terrifying number!

In order to appease the military, they cannot be short of their rations!

But in front of me is a group of permanent fortresses built by the Song Dynasty. If you fight one by one, even if you have artillery, many people will die...

Most importantly, the transportation of shells also takes time!

After collecting the enemy's military deployment gathered by the scouts, Richard had to choose the method of strong attack...

Although Sichuan is not the only way to attack the Southern Song Dynasty, the Central Plains area is now a large area of ​​no man's land. Even if the main force of the green-skinned orcs is wiped out, there will still be countless green-skinned goblins and fart spirits that survive and multiply.

If you switch to the Central Plains and attack the Southern Song Dynasty, there will be no food supplies in that uninhabited land, and you can only rely on logistics transportation. This is absolutely catastrophic for Ming Guo!

The Ming Army is now very strong in military strength, but apart from military strength, all other national strengths are very weak!

Army rations are basically collected locally, so there must be human cities on the offensive route of the Ming army led by Richard!

Otherwise, just being hungry is enough to make Richard's army collapse!

After all, Richard’s logistic route had to transport a large amount of ammunition for war.

Therefore, Richard can only choose the densely populated Sichuan as his main attack direction.
