Although it was still defeated in the end, it ensured that the army retreated and Chizhou did not let the army invade further and destroy the defense line along the Song Jun River.
Zhao Shen decided to pull out and reward Li Xianzhong and severely punish the king after the war.
He ordered the Privy Council to compile Yu Yunwen and go to Jiankang House to investigate and collect evidence. He investigated Wang’s crime of illegal eating and fleeing before the war. Once the crime was verified, he was beheaded
Zhao Song Jia Fa didn’t kill the scholar-officials, but your king is not a scholar-official. What do you want?
Especially in the current dynasty, all the backers have fallen, and the main war faction is in power. Do you still want to escape?
Zhao Shen ordered Li Xianzhong to personally arrest the king and come to Lin’ an to be rewarded by the king’s prison in Li Xianzhong for execution.
Of course, in addition to the king, Zhao Shen was annoyed and Huzhou was defeated, which directly led to the besieged temple of Lin’ an, Zhao Mi.
However, Zhao Mi did resist for a few days and didn’t run away, and he was 61 years old. Jia Yangzhong let bygones be bygones and pleaded with him. Zhao Shen didn’t kill him in the end, but demoted him to Shu Ren and took away all his jobs. He was sent to Leizhou and was not allowed to return home.
Then Wang He and Zhao Mi’s department were also dealt with one by one according to their positions and faults. They were sentenced to death in prison, demoted to Shu Ren and demoted to stay.
On the whole, Zhao Mi and Wang Pai collapsed in the army, and two of them collapsed in the hill of the Southern Song Army Department.
Although the two senior generals, Wang and Zhao Mi, have been dealt with one after another, the problem of the army is still very serious.
The first problem is the loss of this war.
Shi Hao, a pragmatist on this issue, got first-hand data and reported it to Zhao Shen.
"According to the specific battle report, this time, Dasong met the South Army in Zhenjiang, Jiankang and Chizhou, and in the imperial part of Lin ‘an Sanya, Zhenjiang Dutong Company rated 40,000 troops, Jiankang Dutong Company rated 70,000 troops and Chizhou Dutong Company rated 17,000 troops.
In addition to the three major divisions, there were 50,000 imperial troops in Lin ‘an Sanya, 20,000 in the early stage of the war, 30,000 in the late stage of the war in northern Zhenjiang, and about 6,000 soldiers in the back and forth water army. In summary, this war is not counted as the last war in Lin ‘an, and a total of 103,000 troops participated in this war in Dasong.
According to the specific forces dispatched by the corresponding attacking army, after the signing of the peace treaty, the general Zhou Xiang told the 50,000-water army with a total strength of 63,000, which is almost equal to one-third of our army.
We don’t know the battle damage of the army at present, but the battle damage of our army can be counted. In this battle, except for 10 thousand people guarding Yangzhou, Huainan and Jiangnan were destroyed respectively
Of the 50,000 imperial guards, 20,000 were defeated by the commander-in-chief of Zhenjiang, and another 30,000 were defeated by Huzhou. In addition to the current statistics, the total number of three armies was less than 5,000, and 10,000 defenders from Yangzhou returned to Jiangnan.
According to some routed troops, Jiankangfu army almost didn’t fight head-on with the army except for the destruction of 4,000 people in Jiangning City and the navy division in Shuijiankang, and the army was scattered.
In Chizhou, Li Xianzhong’s 10,000 troops retreated after attacking Jiankang Fujun. He reported a loss of about 2,000 yuan, which guaranteed the main office of Chizhou Dutong Company. If he had not lied, Chizhou Dutong Company was still intact.
That is to say, Jiankang Dutong Company and Chizhou Dutong Company lost more than 69,000 people together, and the number of Zhenjiang Dutong Company and Sanya Imperial Army lost more than 144,000 people in the First World War. "
Chapter 72 Zhao Shen ambitions
After reporting the overall report, Shi Hao didn’t go on to say that he consciously set it aside to remind the emperor and his ministers of the problems reflected in this data.
Sure enough, I went to Zhao Shen to edit the minutes of the Privy Council. Han Yuanji and Lu You looked very bad.
Han Yuanji and Lu Youlai stopped writing directly after hearing this number. They looked up at each other with incredible faces and looked at the nearby throne emperor and senior officials of the new court.
They can’t accept the fact that one hundred thousand troops defended in the Southern Song Dynasty, but they were screened by sixty thousand troops.
What is even more frightening is that this is almost a bureau that has been defeated by the army.
More than three times the strength of the army was defeated by the army, and the army went all the way to the capital to block the defeat of the Southern Song Dynasty. Few troops dared to confront the army head-on and fled without seeing the wind.
It can almost be said that the army base of the Southern Song Dynasty was a group of waste, and it was impossible to protect the country and defend the country. So many troops ate so much food but raised a group of waste.
This makes them feel good?
It is true that the situation of Jiankang House is not true, and there are no 70 thousand troops, but even if his king eats 40 thousand troops, the fact that he lost 100 thousand troops in World War I is irreversible
One hundred thousand soldiers were lost in the first world war, which is a quarter of the number of troops rated in the book of the Song Dynasty, and a quarter of the number of troops owned by the country
In less than two months, the army mobilized 60 thousand troops and wiped out a quarter of Song Jun’s army.
At present, the total number of military forces in China is about 400 thousand, which was dispatched quite a few times in the Southern Song Dynasty. The total number of troops is about seven, and it is very small for the country to be mobilized.
The military gap between the two sides can be seen at a glance. This horrible gap made the monarch and his subjects in the Southern Song Dynasty swish from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet.
This situation is almost comparable to that when Jin Junnan invaded the Northern Song Dynasty.
At that time, Jin Jun was so sharp that millions of troops in the Northern Song Dynasty were beaten out of their wits by Jin Jun and finally lost the capital, the emperor and the royal family, and half of their underwear.
Nowadays, it is a little better than that in the past. It is not necessary for China to conquer Lin ‘an and destroy the ruling class in the Southern Song Dynasty. The goal is to repair the Yellow River with a sum of money.
Judging from their present performance, they really don’t have any other goals. The first thing they really want is to spend a sum of money to repair the Yellow River.
However, in the Southern Song Dynasty, the situation of paying some new year’s money to repair the Yellow River was abruptly turned into a situation of paying tribute to the country and cutting land. It is not a divine exercise
After the initial shock, the emperor and his ministers all came back to taste.
Realizing that the current situation must be changed, if the army continues to be so ruined, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Zhang Jun is undoubtedly the one with the biggest anger.
"Some sinners must be punished, and the killing must be made as an example. It is urgent to rectify armaments and train the army! Otherwise, it is not far from the money needed for a national repair of the Yellow River. "
Zhang Jun’s words were supported by some people in the venue, and they made suggestions and contributed their ideas to self-improvement and self-respect in the Southern Song Dynasty
There are indeed many things that have substance in words, and Zhao Shen heard the surge of emotion as if a new and powerful Da Song empire would appear in the near future 2.
He can lead hundreds of thousands of troops to fight back to the north, recover lost ground, go back to worship their ancestors, comfort their ancestors and let them know that he has fought back. He has achieved thousands of people but failed to achieve great things.
He is really looking forward to that future.
And Shi Hao is the only one who is calm in such a frenzy.
"Although your ideas are good, every idea needs money. Before that, you can’t treat Dasong as not only paying the country 6.2 million yuan for direct compensation, but also paying 250,000 silver and 250,000 silk cloth coins every year. This is not easy for Dasong."
When everyone made suggestions and suggestions to train a strong country, Shi Hao was very "disappointing" and paid for it. It was like everyone here had a strong fire, and he suddenly pulled his belt and peed and put it out.
That feels really strange.
The atmosphere of a warm and powerful country suddenly stagnated and then slowly dissipated. Everyone was surprised to look at this Shi Hao, even Zhao Shen. He felt that Shi Hao could not read his breath and didn’t see what kind of atmosphere everyone was in.
But in the end, they had to return to reality and realized that Shi Hao’s statement was very reasonable.
Strengthening the army and strengthening the country needs money, but what the Song Dynasty lacks most now is money. There are many ways to strengthen the country and strengthen the army, but making money is the most important thing.
"It is not only to compensate the country and the old currency, but also to restore the pension for the dead in the post-war places. There is also the problem of official salt. The army has destroyed many large saltworks. Once the official salt can’t be smuggled, the salt tax revenue of Dasong will be greatly reduced.
Not only that, but also the maritime trade, in advance, the navy division Suzhou Ocean intercepted merchant ships and plunderers to drive away merchants, which greatly affected the trade in the Song Dynasty, and even the prices in Lin’ an rose sharply. Today, the people complained that these are all problems. "
Shi Hao sighed and looked at Zhao Shen’s face. "The veteran knows that he is eager to strengthen the country and strengthen the army, but he must rectify the bureaucracy, rectify the salt administration and rectify the maritime business before he can strengthen the army and strengthen the country."
Zhao Shen looked ugly with his head down and said nothing.
Zhang Jun is a little sit still.
"Governing the country is of course important. I know that the salt tax on maritime business is of course important, but I don’t agree with the issue of history."
Shi Hao looked at Zhang Jun.
