The Battle of Jinzhou, which took place in the early summer of the 11th year of Hongwu in the Song Dynasty, was actually a dignified battle, with both the commanders of the warring sides playing Ming chess.

This is a collision between nearly one million troops on both sides!

Moreover, whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Northern Jin Dynasty, they are now on the route of land soldiers, and the number of active troops is very small. There are more than 200,000 active troops in the Song Dynasty. There are even fewer in the Jin Dynasty, with only more than 100,000 serving soldiers.

This number of troops must be distributed and defended everywhere, and the troops that can be used mobile are very limited and cannot fight a decisive battle.

Therefore, before the decisive battle begins, a round of big troops must be carried out!

And this kind of large-scale soldier with a total mobilization scale is impossible to keep confidential unless the opponent is a fool who is slow to react.

More than 300 Zhechong Mansions in the Song Dynasty have received large military edicts stamped with jade seals and military lists. All famous military soldiers in the book must come to Zhechong Mansion at the designated time to report. If you are unable to apply for the election due to old age or injury, you can quote the "Order to serve the Military for the Father" and let your sons and nephews or brothers replace them.

These sons, nephews and brothers who replaced the army could only "take" the farm, but could not directly inherit the farm. They had to start from the rank of the corporal and accumulate enough credit for the corresponding contribution within the specified time to transfer the farm that originally belonged to their father, brother, uncle, and uncle to their own names.

Of course, the merits and titles of their fathers, brothers and uncles will not be erased. They can still serve as officials and join the army. After making meritorious service, they will be promoted and will also receive corresponding land!

However, these lands cannot be merged with the previously transferred farms, but they can be passed on to other nephews.

This matter looks like a loophole, but in fact it is a trap. Because these old mansion soldiers who have "recovered from injury" will be transferred to the Hexi Jiedulu Road or the Zhechong Mansion under the Datong Jiedulu Road.

After making meritorious service, you will receive a ranch on Hexi Road or Datong Road

Because of this "back door", each Zhechong Mansion can often exceed the recruitment target!

The various Yingtian Roads, Jiedu Roads and Transport Roads of the Song Dynasty all obtained the "utility guru" indicators for those heroes who are powerful and have no culture, joining the army is a rare opportunity to rise!

In addition, the Red Turban Iron Cavalry among the Great Song Dynasty's soldiers can bring their own cavalry from this big set, and these cavalry can also enjoy the treatment of utility soldiers. Therefore, the iron cavalry with conditions will bring their beloved relatives and friends with them.

In addition, Beijing Road, Datong Road, Hedong Road, and Hebei Road, which are close to the northeast, were also ordered to recruit military and civilians, mules, horses, and carts. Now the Song Dynasty has no corvee service, only employment service. For these economically developed roads, this is a rare opportunity to make money!

Finally, the Song Navy, which had just been integrated, would take advantage of the newly blown south wind and sail north to join this unprecedented decisive battle between Song and Jin!

Therefore, after the Song Dynasty, which had 650,000 military soldiers, completed the Dadian Army, including the "substitute soldiers", the useful soldiers and civilians would really have more than 1 million people joining this powerful war machine!

The mobilization scale of the Great Jin Kingdom is also unprecedented!

More than 300 Meng'ans, starting from the late first month of the first year of Tianjuan, also received orders issued by the Great Jin court or various Jiedushi!

The scale of the Dajin Sect Soldiers this time is unprecedented. Each Mengan needs to hand over the main soldiers according to the standards of one household and one soldier. At the same time, one soldier must be assigned to an auxiliary soldier.

In addition, many tribal soldiers (including Xibe, Shiwei and grassland divisions) from Beijing Road (Linhuangfu), Puyu Road, Huligao Road, Supin Road, and Helan Road were also recruited to the Great Jin Army.

In other words, this time the size of the Great Jin Kingdom will exceed 600,000 people!

In addition to having to give up people, these more than 300 Meng'an and his subordinate tribes also had to prepare three months of rations for the soldiers who went to war. If they were defeated, they would be dead.

The news of the crazy mobilization of the Dajin Jin Dynasty was also learned by the Dasong side, which was actively preparing for the war!

The Forbidden City in Shuntianfu New City has now become the garrison for the newly formed personal camp!

Zhao Kai still plans to take the imperial quest in person this time!

However, unlike the previous few personal expeditions, this time he will no longer visit the front line, but will enter Shanhaikou Basin to take charge of a million troops, which has exceeded the limit of his command ability.

So he should just wait for the good news in the fortress at Shanhaikou.

There were three generals who served as the commander-in-chief of the front-end enemy in this conquest, namely Han Shizhong, who was in charge of the Yanshan battlefield, Yue Fei, who was in charge of the western Liaoning battlefield, and Dong Jingang, who was in charge of the Pidao battlefield.

Among them, the battlefield in western Liaoning, which Yue Fei is responsible for, is the most important, and there must be no mistakes!

In the Daqing Hall of the Forbidden City, Zhao Kaizhan was in front of the huge sand table, watching the staff below place war chess symbolizing the troops of both sides in Yanshan, Guangning, Jinzhou and other places. He was a little excited and couldn't suppress himself. He turned his head to ask Yue Fei and Yue Pengju, who was frowning with frowning, and said, "Hehe, we are called millions, and they are also called millions Pengju. A battle of two millions, how do you think the right battle?"

When Yue Fei heard Zhao Kai's question, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he was silent for a moment before saying: "My officials and officials thought that there were only two strategies for the Jin thieves. One was to set up defenses along the western Liaoning Corridor and resist step by step; the other was to directly place our army under Jinzhou City and fight us to the death!"

Zhao Kai said without hesitation: "The Jin thieves will definitely choose to fight in Jinzhou. Their soldiers will not be less than 500,000. But what is their population? The country has a maximum of 3 million, and the Han people, Khitans, Goryeo, and other ethnic groups that were suppressed by them will not exceed 10 million. With this population, the protracted war cannot be supported. Therefore, the Jin thieves will definitely choose to decide quickly! The quick decision can only be fought with us in Jinzhou!"

This is not a military issue, but an economic and political issue. If Zhao Kai does not have a military system, he will not be able to provide so many troops at all.

If he had not won the Southeast 7th Route, which was rich, he would not be able to fight a war of this scale!

Wars of this scale are really too expensive!

Of course, it's too laborious!

To fight such a war with the power of the Jin Kingdom is undoubtedly a great overdrawal of national strength. Of course, everything will be fine if you win, but if you defeat it, you can only wait for death. Zhao Kai originally planned to use a protracted war to drag the Jin Kingdom to death, but he did not expect that the Jin thieves did not want to die slowly, but instead took out all their money and fought hard.

However, if you think about it carefully, Zhao Kai also feels that the desperate behavior of the Jin thief is easy to understand. Now the strength comparison between Jin and Song is becoming more and more unbalanced. The longer it delays, the greater the advantage of Zhao Kai. Therefore, delaying tactics will not only fail to save the Jin Dynasty, but will also send the Jin Dynasty to a dead end.

Moreover, no one will go through the obvious dead end! Wanyan Zongshen and Wanyan Liang and his father and son have no way to live, which does not mean that other Wanyan has no way to live.

So instead of waiting for death, they might as well try their best while the hearts are still there.

Since you have to fight to the death, of course you will not fight a protracted war, nor can you afford a protracted war.

Yue Fei nodded and said, "What the official said is that although it is more stable to set up defenses in western Liaoning, the Jin thieves have no capital to drag on. They are now like Zhao State in the Battle of Changping, and they must bite the bullet and fight a quick decisive battle!

If my brother is a Jin thief, he will definitely lure the enemy to the city of Jinzhou, and then use a strong force to defend Jinzhou, then divide the main force into two, and place it east of Yiwulu Mountain in Shanxi, Liaoxi. After our army advances to the city of Jinzhou, we will then launch an attack from the west and northeast.

If our army attacks Jinzhou but fails and is attacked by these two Jin thieves, it is very likely to suffer a crushing defeat!”

Hey, I think you have heard of the plan that Yue Fei mentioned?

Zhao Kai also felt that it was wrong. Why was the situation of the Jinzhou Battle similar to that of the Jinzhou Battle in the Liaochen Battle? Is there no problem with this Yue Fei?

"Pengju," Zhao Kai thought for a while and asked again, "How do you want to fight?"

Yue Fei pondered for a moment and said, "My thought was to push at least 400,000 soldiers from the western Liaoning Corridor and sea route to Jinzhou to Jinzhou, and then surrounded Jinzhou with 200,000 of them, blocked the aid in the northeast of Jinzhou, and blocked the aid in the west of Jinzhou with 100,000!

As long as we can quickly conquer Jinzhou City, the overall situation of the Jin thieves will collapse. Not only will Guangning Prefecture not be able to defend, but Liaoyang and Xianping Prefectures will also be captured by us soon!"

Well, Zhao Kai glanced at Yue Fei and said to himself: Deputy Commander Yue, I am familiar with your plan too!

He thought about it again, thinking that this is probably what the heroes see in a similar way?

Jinzhou is the gateway to Liaoshen!

If the Jin thieves wanted to defend the northeast, they had to block Jinzhou. Otherwise, the Song army occupying Jinzhou would be able to use Jinzhou as a stronghold and continuously send troops to attack the hinterland of Liaodong, Guangning, Liaoyang, Chenzhou, Xianping and other places. Ninri would fight like this for a few years, and drag the Jin thieves down!

"Okay!" Zhao Kai thought of this and focused his attention, "Pengju, how to fight this battle, how do you make an idea! What do you need? Even if you tell me that I'm just selling the pot and I'll raise it for you!"

In fact, there is no need to sell the money, and a good sister-in-law is in Nanjing. Zhao Kai has repeatedly communicated with Zhu Lian over and over the past two months, and has already told all the good things he can afford. Of course, he also received the guarantee from his sister-in-law that she can help Zhao Kai raise 30 million pounds of funds! This is not a tax from the court, but a loan from the Southeast merchants.

After hearing Zhao Kai's promise, Yue Fei just smiled and said, "People please relax in the battle in Jinzhou. I am very sure!

"Okay!" Zhao Kai shouted again, "Pengju, as long as you conquer Liaodong, I will be the king of you!"

Yue Fei hurriedly bowed to Zhao Kai: "I will not be humiliated!"
Chapter completed!
