Chapter 1029 Is the Southern Song Dynasty Weak? No!
"What way?" Xiongba asked.
Ouyang Shuo smiled and said nothing, so he just let it go.
Seeing this, Xiong Ba stopped asking, and instead said: "Besides the instability of people's hearts, there is another thing that is very troublesome. There are many Mongolian spies in Lin'an City. It is very difficult for our arrangement not to be noticed by the enemy."
Since ancient times, there has never been a shortage of traitors in times of national calamity.
The Great Mongol Kingdom besieged Lin'an City with the domineering power that swept across the world. It is difficult to guarantee that the dignitaries in the city will not have other thoughts, either for the continuation of the family, or for the prosperity and wealth, and secretly become Mongolian lackeys.
Especially for aristocratic families, for them, the country can be subjugated, but the family cannot be subjugated. For the continuation of the family, they will do anything.
In the battle of Lin'an in history, the Southern Song Dynasty surrendered without a fight, which can explain the problem very well.
What's more, this time it was Kublai Khan's personal conquest.
"There's nothing we can do about it." Ouyang Shuo shook his head with a wry smile, "After all, we are just outsiders. It is impossible to eliminate the Mongolian spies. We can only strengthen our guard."
For the Southern Song court, Ouyang Shuo didn't have any expectations at all.
If we really want to carry out some kind of cleaning with great fanfare, it will not only make people panic and affect preparations for war, but it may also scare the enemy and make the traitors hide deeper, which is really not worth the candle.
Xiong Ba nodded, expressing his agreement.
…………
Coming out of Ouyang Shuo's tent, Xiongba didn't go back to his own tent, but went to Dichen.
Not only Di Chen was there, Zhan Lang, Chun Shenjun and others were also there.
After listening to Xiongba's report, Di Chen and the others had different expressions, and Chun Shenjun said even more eccentrically: "Xiongba, you know how to be a human being, and you have become one with the old fox so quickly."
Even Dichen, when he heard that Xiongba was chosen to join the Military Plane Division, his heart sank.
Seeing him, Xiongba smiled contemptuously, "Brother Ouyang treats you with all your heart, so I naturally disdain to run around with dogs."
He even scolded Mr. Chunshen.
Chunshen Jun is very face-saving, how can he bear Xiongba's sarcasm, and said sarcastically: "Oh, this is really new, the old fox still has a bone, and someone calls him a brother, and he doesn't even know what his last name is."
"you!"
He is so domineering that he really can't stand Jun Shen's face.
Seeing this, Zhan Lang, no matter what he thought in his heart, finally stood up and acted as a peacemaker, "Stop arguing, it's nothing to make people laugh. Now let's have a discussion and sentence which general will enter the military aircraft department. "
In the battle of Yashan, Di Chen brought Lian Po, Xiong Ba brought Wu Qi, and Zhan Lang brought Zhao Zhuang.
In terms of ability, it is natural for Wu Qi to enter the Military Aircraft Division.
It's just that Xiongba is already at the military plane, if Wu Qi goes again, it will be fun. Fortunately, Xiong Ba understood the situation clearly, and he didn't want to really get into an argument with Di Chen, so he took the initiative to say: "No need to discuss, just Lian Po, the old general has rich experience and prestige, so it's perfect."
When Di Chen saw this, his expression softened slightly, and he nodded his head, which was regarded as acquiescing.
…………
On the way back, Zhan Lang unconsciously shook his head.
When discussing the matter just now, Zhan Lang obviously felt a sense of desertion. In less than five years, the once bustling Yanhuang League was gradually disintegrated by Ouyang Shuo. It was really a good way.
Although the [Yanhuang League] has countermeasures, once Chunshenjun and Xiongba fall again, the future situation of the [Yanhuang League] will be very delicate.
In contrast, the actions of the factions are too laggy.
"I don't know what the old man thinks." Zhan Lang sighed quietly, the long-term disguise made Zhan Lang very bored, this is not his style of acting.
…………
next morning.
The military aircraft department located in the city held the first collective discussion.
This discussion is mainly to agree on the defense areas of the various ministries. Lin'an City has four walls and twelve gates, large and small. Which section of the army is guarding which section must be coordinated in advance.
It is impossible to say that it is unrealistic to squeeze all 340,000 alien legions into one barracks.
The defenders in the city can be roughly divided into three major factions, the Southern Song Dynasty army is one faction, led by the three heroes of the late Song Dynasty; the [Yanhuang League] has its own faction, and it is also the most powerful faction.
Ouyang Shuo formed a faction with Feng Prison Huang, and in view of the abnormal strength of the Great Xia Guards, they should not be underestimated either.
Originally, the 100,000 Great Song Forbidden Army was the weakest side. In front of the Mongolian army, how much strength the Great Song Forbidden Army can exert is still a question mark.
As for the two chief generals, Zhang Shijie and Wen Tianxiang, it wasn't Ouyang Shuo who buried them. If it wasn't for the special historical period of the end of the Song Dynasty, in terms of military command ability, the two of them would have been on the ranking list of ancient Chinese generals. One hundred people can't get in.
Wen Tianxiang will not talk about it. He is mainly known for his national integrity, and it is difficult to comment on his real commanding ability. Zhang Shijie also made repeated tricks in the battle of Yashan, allowing Zhang Hongfan to win the battle very easily.
Although the three heroes at the end of the Song Dynasty were tragic, it was a cruel reality to reveal the tragic cloak. The so-called "time makes heroes" refers to this situation.
However, Lin'an is the main battlefield of the Song army. They have the right time, place and people, and they can barely compete with the other two factions. The three major factions are the horns of each other, and the three legs stand on top of each other, and no one can do anything to each other.
The Military Aircraft Division was originally the result of a compromise between the three parties.
The only thing that is not good for the Alien Legion is that, in addition to bringing 60,000 sailors that are not needed at all, whether it is the [Shanhai League] or the [Yanhuang League], they have brought more than half of the cavalry this time, which is very unfavorable for defending the city .
This is also impossible.
Before the start of the battle, everyone thought that it was going to confront the Mongolian army head-on, and it was always right to bring cavalry. How could they have thought that Gaia would make such a move.
On the contrary, the 100,000 Great Song Forbidden Army is basically infantry.
The outside world has a misunderstanding about the Southern Song Dynasty. They think that the Southern Song Dynasty was a peaceful place. It was either bullied by the Kingdom of Jin or Mongolia all day long.
Such an army of the Southern Song Dynasty must be very weak.
It is not.
In that special historical period, the Mongolian iron cavalry was really an inhuman existence. It not only destroyed the powerful Jin Kingdom, but also destroyed Xixia and Dali by the way, and even set off a heinous massacre in Eurasia.
During that period, no army or country in the world could stop the Mongolian iron cavalry.
"Except for the Southern Song Dynasty!"
The Southern Song Dynasty was not only the last country to be conquered by the Mongolian army, but also the country that caused the most trouble to the Mongols. Even the hero of a generation, Mengge Khan, died when he attacked the Southern Song Dynasty.
It can survive for more than 150 years under the repeated ravages of the Kingdom of Jin and Mongolia. It is really unreasonable to say that the Southern Song Dynasty is weak.
The biggest tragedy of the Southern Song Dynasty may be that it was in a very bad era, first the powerful Jin country, and then the even more powerful Mongolia country. World-class enemies went south one after another, how could they be undefeated.
Although the Southern Song Dynasty in a remote corner may not have achieved much in terms of offense, but in terms of defense, the Southern Song Dynasty army was definitely the most advanced army in the world at that time.
Among other things, the defensive equipment of the Southern Song Dynasty, including the bed crossbow, is unique in the world. Especially the famous three bows and eight bull bed crossbows, which are so high in technology that it is difficult for other countries to hold a candle to them.
Therefore, in this battle of defending the city, if the 100,000 Great Song Forbidden Army can boost morale and remove the psychological shadow of fighting against the Mongolian army, it will definitely make a big difference.
It depends on the level of Zhang Shijie and Wen Tianxiang.
…………
Because the three parties have their own minds, it's inevitable that they will hinder each other. According to Ouyang Shuo's proposal, the specific arrangements are as follows.
The north city wall was guarded by the Fourth Army of the Great Xia Imperial Guard and the Luofeng City Department, a total of 120,000 troops. Guo Ziyi was appointed as the North Gate's chief general, and fierce general Elai was appointed as the deputy general.
According to reports, Kublai Khan's Golden Tent was set up in the northern suburbs, so the northern city wall was the most defensive side, and Ouyang Shuo took the initiative to take over, which was considered as a kindness.
The southern city wall was guarded by the 100,000 Great Song Imperial Army, with Zhang Shijie as the general and Wen Tianxiang as the deputy.
The east and west walls are guarded by 210,000 troops from the [Yanhuang League]. The specific arrangement is that Dichen and Chun Shenjun lead troops to guard the west city wall, with Lian Po as the main general; Xiong Ba and Zhan Lang lead troops to guard the east city wall, with Wu Qi as the main general. In order to reconcile the strength of the two sides, Chunshen Jun's department will be divided into two, divided into east and west sides.
Above the four main generals is the Military Aircraft Department, responsible for unified command. At Ouyang Shuo's suggestion, counselor Jia Xu was able to enter the Military Aircraft Department to assist in military affairs. Of course, Jia Xu only has the right to make suggestions, not to make decisions.
In this way, the entire command structure is established.
After the discussion was completed, the armies from all walks of life began to move, pulling out their camps and changing their defenses one by one. The specific arrangements for the four-sided city defense will be the responsibility of the four gate masters.
Take North Face for example.
Guo Ziyi planned to set up a North Gate command post near the North City Gate. Within 500 meters of the ten-mile-long North City Wall, whether it was residential buildings, shops or other buildings, the system would be requisitioned by the army.
These buildings were either demolished in situ, or transformed into auxiliary buildings such as warehouses and medical rooms, or expanded into military barracks. There is a central military camp every one mile, with 10,000 troops stationed.
Only in this way can an army of 120,000 be arranged.
The remaining three sides basically refer to this kind of resettlement plan, so before the war comes, a large-scale demolition operation needs to be carried out in Lin'an City, and Lu Xiufu is naturally responsible for this matter.
Demolition has never been easy, let alone large-scale forced demolition, it all depends on how Lu Xiufu arranges it.
In addition to the demolition and relocation matters, the Military Aircraft Department will organize counterpart offices such as the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War to connect with the Simen command post to discuss the allocation of food and grass and the recruitment of labor.
In view of the instability of the people in Lin'an City, when the war starts, there may be monsters and ghosts making trouble. In addition to the city walls, the area under the jurisdiction of the Four Gates Army also includes the urban area.
In addition to guarding the city gates, the armies on all sides also shouldered a mission, which was to be responsible for the security of their respective cities. The hearts of the people in Lin'an City are unstable, government servants alone are not enough, and the army has to be deployed at critical moments.
When all the dust settled, it was already the fifth day of the battle. There was also a small disturbance during the period, which was nothing but the riots caused by the demolition.
