Otherworldly Castle Era

"Great King Qiqi." Changsun Sheng reported to Yang Songzi at the court meeting: "All the envoys who have gone out have returned, and no one is a minister outside the customs."

Although Yang Song knew the result a long time ago, he was still very unhappy after hearing Chang Sun Sheng's report. How long has he not experienced the feeling of being rejected-it's been a long time!

"It's really fearless for the ignorant." Yang Song sneered and said: "Since you are so ignorant of good and bad, don't blame the widows for turning their faces and ruthless."

"Li, the widow has done it, now it's time to send troops." Yang Song immediately ordered the two generals of the Military Department: "Li Jing, Li Bao take orders! Everything is going according to plan!"

"Yes, the ministers and so on!" Li Jing and Li Bao finally gave the order when they heard the official dispatch of troops, walked out of the queue, and solemnly accepted the order.

The civilian officials had already known Yang Song's decision to dispatch troops. In fact, the civilian officials also supported the conquest of the northern aboriginal foreign countries, or they should have greatly agreed with it.

Yu Si, the families of civil officials have various industries, and they can enjoy the benefits of Xia Guo's expansion; Yu Gong, the strength of Xia Guo is also what civil officials want to see.

Therefore, regardless of whether it is public or private, the civilian officials support this dispatch of troops, not to mention that there are still "historical history" seducers in front of them.

As for worrying that Congress will not win? From the beginning of the three thousand residents to the present, Xia Guo has not lost even once!

"Everyone, you have heard the king's order. It's time!" After the court meeting, in the meeting room of the Military Department, Li Jing looked at many generals, including Li Bao, and asked seriously: "Do you have any questions?"

Seeing that no one responded, Li Jing first looked at Yang Ren in the Houbao Hall and asked: "Director Yang Ren, are the logistics prepared?"

"Back to the general, the food, grass, ammunition, carts, horses, weapons, etc. are all ready." Yang Ren stood up and clasped his fists and replied: "Don't worry, the general. The country has sufficient food and grass and countless ammunition, so the general will have no worries."

"That's good." Of course Li Jing knew this. At this time, he asked more about following the routine. He then asked Yang Xin, the military hall responsible for recruiting militiamen: "Director Yang Xin, how is the militia recruitment?"

"Return to the general." Yang Xin also stood up, clasped his fist and replied: "This time we set out to enlist one hundred thousand militiamen, we will ensure that we have sufficient manpower for logistics."

"In addition." Yang Xin thought for a while, and then said: "In addition, on the land side, through the Department of Administration and the Hall of Ceremony, an order was issued to the five vassal states outside the pass to provide one hundred thousand young and strong labor for their country. The answer has been followed. ."

After Xia's five vassal states received Xia's orders, they immediately declared their orders. Of course, they couldn't help but not accept them, and even to ensure that there were 100,000 young and strong laborers, they could only send troops. As for the food and grass of these 100,000 labors, of course their vassal states are responsible for themselves.

Li Jing received two satisfactory answers. After he nodded and said that he knew, he instructed Zhang Wei, who was in charge of the Guards Hall: "On this expedition, there will be only General Zhang’s city guards. General Zhang must Guard Shanhaiguan and Naturalization City to ensure that the country is not lost."

"Yes, General." Zhang Wei knew how heavy his task was. He replied solemnly and concisely: "People are in the city!"

Li Jing nodded, and then said: "If you are in an emergency, don't try your best. Don't hesitate to ask the king for help."

Yang Song's army is generally not within the calculations of Li Jing and others, but at a time of crisis, Yang Song's guards are the reserve team - that's what Yang Songben planned.

After all, this expedition, Xia Guo can be regarded as a large army, excluding the navy, three divisions, one hundred thousand servants, plus one hundred thousand militia, a total of more than three hundred and thirty thousand. This is the first time that Xia Guo has sent more than 100,000 troops!

Even if there were only so many troops sent for the first time, there would not be so many afterwards, but no matter what, all aspects should not be careless.

Li Jing then gave instructions to Bao Jie from the Political and Legal Department, Yu Shu from the Military Affairs Department, and Zhuang Wei from the Equipment Department to let them perform their duties and be responsible for the duties of their respective departments to ensure military laws, morale, and ideology. There are no omissions or omissions in items such as, military exploits, pensions, weapons, etc.

Seeing that all the ministries are ready, Li Jing looked at the other commanders and said solemnly: "All divisions report."

"Report to General Qi, the first division is ready." Di Qing first stood up and clasped his fists to report: "Please order the army."

"Report to General, the cavalry division is ready." Then Huo Qubing stood up and clasped his fists: "The cavalry division is willing to be the vanguard." As expected, Huo Qubing has to fight for it at this time.

Li Bao also stood up and reported: "General Li, the Navy, and the Second Division are also ready to go overseas at any time."

"Well, very good." Seeing that all the generals had finished reporting, Li Jing stood up, faced them, and said loudly: "Following the king's order, the whole army will march tomorrow!"

"Finally, I will obey!"...

This expedition had unprecedented numbers of troops in the early stage. It was a challenge for the generals, and it was also a challenge for Xia Guo.

At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, after Li Jing presided over and Yang Song witnessed the expedition ceremony, the army officially opened.

Li Jing took representatives of the First Division and Cavalry Division to Shanhaiguan where the army was assembled. Afterwards, the servant army in Houpingguan City will embark on an expedition under the logistical guarantee of one hundred thousand militiamen.

Li Bao led a part of the Second Division's crew from the naval port to the north by transport ship, and joined the naval fleet and the remaining crews of the Second Division at the port along the sea, and set off overseas together.

Because Xia Guo's sea had not been threatened, it remained as it was, with only one exploratory fleet and one defensive fleet, with a total of 36 combat warships large and small, and six supply ships. There are 7,400 direct combat personnel.

It is precisely because there is no maritime threat that the "Five-Five Fleet" originally planned for offensive purposes only exists on paper. All the remaining construction capacity has been replaced by large and small transport ships.

Transport ships are used for business in peacetime and for transporting troops in wartime. No matter how they are built, they will not be useless. Not to mention that the shortcomings of Xia State’s insufficient maritime transport capacity were revealed when Baxter was sent troops from the sea in the past.

Of course, by now, maritime transport capacity is no longer a constraint on Xia Guo's dispatch of troops overseas.

...

"The ministers, see the king." Taking advantage of the time before the army set off, Yang Song called Liu Ji and Li Jing to the front.

"You don't need to be polite." Yang Song looked at the army set off in the open space in front of the hall, and said to the two: "Yao Shi, soldiers are no small things. At this time, the widows can only wait for the triumphant victory."

"Thank you, King!" Li Jing bowed his fists and solemnly promised: "This battle will win!"

"Very good~www.novelmtl.com~ Yang Song then looked at Liu Ji, and also ordered: "Berwyn, this time you are with the army as the chief of the general staff, you have to assist a good pharmacist. "

"Yes, King." Liu Ji also solemnly promised: "The king and the ministers have already won the battle over the temple. Please rest assured, the king, waiting for the good news!"

Yang Song got the promise of the two and put aside the worry of the unknown source in his heart: "The widow will be waiting at the celebration banquet for your return!"

In fact, from Yang Song's attitude, land is the main direction for this expedition, and it is also the most variable way.

It is not that the sea route is not important, but because of the limitations of the sea (the depth of the attack, the selectable targets, the upper limit of the troops, the control after the victory, the cost, the target, etc.), the sea route cannot become the main attack this time. direction.

Yang Song dressed in a Chinese dress, standing in front of the main hall, watching the last team disappear into the distance, he sincerely hoped that many soldiers from the whole army would return--although this was just his extravagant hope.

Yang Song said to himself in his heart: It is not that he Yang Song likes killing, but that this world is like this. The survival of the fittest and the struggle for survival are all for the future of Xia Guo!
