The northern nomadic peoples have a common feature - they all live by water and grass, mostly houses are tents, and there are no bricks and stone buildings of the Han people, let alone city walls. Since the founding of Li Yuanhao of the Western Xia, his military thoughts have been inherent cavalry tactics. Although they also borrowed from the city defense of the Song Dynasty, except for a few core cities, most of the cities are still the city walls left during the Song Dynasty's rule decades ago, and they were just repaired.

Wuxin's breakthrough to attack the left-wing Divine Warrior Army Division was to choose such a city wall. The Dangxiang people were not interested in building a city, and their understanding of the city wall was far less important than that of the Khitans. Even if the city wall was repaired, it was sloppy. It is easy to imagine how much role this city wall with decades can play under the maintenance of the Dangxiang people. The special forces are all imperial guards strictly selected by the Privy Council, and there are many powerful characters among them. There are several top figures, although they are not as mysterious as Wang Jinghui's novels as Jin Yong, but they think about it, at least at the level of Huo Yuanjia, and more than a dozen people can't do anything to them.

I was unintentionally selected more than a dozen people with high-quality martial arts skills, and led a team of ten people to equip the equipment and set up the contact signal, and then more than a dozen teams began to sneak into the city wall, either climbing with bare hands or using special tools to start climbing the city wall.

The assault team was very fast, and the city wall was already full of holes, which was extremely easy in their eyes, but they turned up the city tower in a short while. Although the Dangxiang Guards here were very alert, the special forces were about to start, and this was the time when people were most relaxed and tired. The Dangxiang soldiers who stood all night basically fought with their upper and lower eyelids, and some simply fell asleep on the city tower.

The special assault team immediately silently attacked the Dangxiang Shoujun on the city tower. He concentrated on the south gate and shook the torch to send a successful signal, and then quietly opened the city gate. Wuxin immediately asked Zhong Yan to ask the team to get on the horse and rush into the city. After hearing Wuxin's request, Zhong Yan shook his head with a wry smile and ordered the entire army to get on the horse and enter the city from the already opened South Gate.

One hour later, Zhong Yan stood in the hall of the military office of the left-wing Divine Army Division. He can still see that training a special force like Wuxin led such a special force indeed has an unparalleled importance in siege battles. Such an army is obviously a special force to open the city gate. Although the Song army is very good at siege, using special forces to exploit the enemy's loopholes in just half an hour, the enemy's city gate is useless. Compared with the traditional siege tactics that often cost ten days and half a month, the special force siege does have an unparalleled attraction to the Song army.

Now Zhong Yan thinks the most about it is to write to the court to try to form more special forces. He even wants to form such an army in his own army. Of course, he also knows that in terms of the quality of his troops, he cannot compare with the team Wuxin, but even if the combat effectiveness does not meet this standard, he can have half of it. In the future, when he attacks the Dangxiang people, at least the siege can be solved in a short time, so there will be more room for strategic maneuver.

After capturing the Zuoxiang Shenwang Army, Zhong Yan did not stay for too long. After leaving two thousand people to guard the city and clear the remaining enemies in the city, the entire army immediately boarded a horse and headed straight for Yulin a hundred miles away. As long as Yulin was in hand, the land east of Mingtang River was completely owned by the Song Dynasty. The most important thing was that Yulin was close to the Great Wall, which was the focus of defense against the northern border.

Apart from helping Zhong Yan open the city gate at the beginning, his troops did not participate in the battle in the city, but instead lie in the north gate in advance, using crossbow arrows to shoot and kill the escaped party Xiang soldiers. In order to prevent them from running to Yulin to report the news.

Yulin's defense is naturally not as good as the city defense of the Zuoxiang Shenyong Army. There is only a circle of low earth walls that are only two meters high as the city wall, and the defenders are only more than 2,000. Naturally, the fewer casualties, the better. Wuxin's special forces all changed into Dangxiang people's clothes and pretended to be defeated soldiers who escaped from the Zuoxiang Shenyong Army. After a simple question and answer, the gate of Yulin's small city opened to them, Wuxin led the team to take the lead and rushed in. When the fighting sounded in the city, Zhong Yan's rear army rushed up. The Song army that had lasted nearly 10,000 in the small Yulin, and half an hour later Yulin fell into Zhong Yan's hands.

In less than two days, he conquered the left-wing Divine Army and Yulin. Such speed was something that Zhong Yan had never thought of. At this time, he had completely given up his doubts about the special forces. He killed 3,000 enemies and captured 10,000 prisoners. Although such a record was no longer considered a great military achievement under the shadow of the battle between Fuxihe and Han Qi in Baoancheng, Zhong Yan was still very satisfied with it.

After "watching" the "performance" of the special forces throughout the whole process, Zhong Yan immediately asked Wu Xin to let his special forces train a similar army for him and equipped with the same weapons. Wu Xin was naturally very happy in the face of Zhong Yan's request, but the equipment in his hand was a big problem - these equipment were specially customized by the Privy Council's military weapon supervision. The size of crossbow arrows, e-shu sky bows and arrows, and even the materials for the production of arrows are very different from the equipment of the Song army today. As for the small equipment on him, it is impossible to equip ordinary troops like Zhong Yan. Of course, the biggest secret is the poison applied to their long swords and arrows. This thing is a secret of the Song Dynasty. Even though Zhong Yan is a famous general in the Song Dynasty, he is not qualified to know about this matter so far.

The special forces were initiated by Wang Jinghui. Wuxin naturally knew that the military was facing in the Privy Council. Although they could not change their views on the special forces in a few battles, Zhong Yan, an important general who has a very good impression of the special forces' combat methods, still needs to help vigorously. Through a Zhong Yan, more military generals can realize their role in war, which is exactly what Wang Jinghui wants.

At present, the war in the northwest has fallen into a balance again. Although Li Qing's Dipoxi army is very powerful, the social composition of nomadic people is more conducive to war. Although Li Qing defeated the invading Dangxiang elite soldiers at Sanchakou and Wanjingkou, after the tribal coalition stabilized the front line in Xiazhou based on the city wall fortifications, the military strength of the whole people has expanded several times, with a ratio of 60,000 to more than 100,000. It is still very difficult to defeat the defensive side. The Song Dynasty pushed the border to this point and move forward, which would lead to civil strife between the Dangxiang tribal coalition. Not to mention using several times of the force to turn around to deal with Zhong Yan, Li Qingbai took advantage of this. Zhong Yan was absolutely unwilling to see this kind of thing.

With the help of the intelligence network in Guan Liang's hands, Zhong Yan sent envoys to the Dangxiang tribe, expressing his willingness to support them in food, grass and even weapons and equipment to fight against Li Qing. The price paid was only to maintain the existing border. Of course, if it was possible, the Song Dynasty even sent troops from the Three Forts of Wuning to attack Li Qing to force him to retreat. This assumption was only a benefit to the Dangxiang tribe, because Yang Chongyue had accumulated enough firearms and was looking for favorable fighter jets to prepare for the raid of Li Quan. This attack naturally required careful selection of the opportunity. Fu Bi sent more than 30,000 elite soldiers to the left-wing Shenwang Army Division day and night, and Zhong Yan also drove the Dangxiang people in the city to repair the city walls and build fortifications day and night, as long as the fortifications and troops were deployed, the rest was to see if Yang Chongyue could succeed in the raid with less victory.

"Are you kidding me?" Emperor Zhao Xu stared at Wang Jinghui with wide eyes, as if it was the first time he saw a monster.

"How dare I deceive the emperor? I recruit about 50,000 to 100,000 people from the victims in Hebei to enter the Xiang army. This is conducive to stabilizing the situation in the north!" Wang Jinghui said lightly.

"This will be the biggest expansion of the Song Dynasty's Xiang army! Once the recruitment is completed, these Xiang army will be supported by the court. In recent years, isn't my dear efforts just to reduce the Xiang army? How much money will be spent on so many Xiang army to support it, the court's finances will suddenly increase. I believe neither Sima Junshi nor Wang Jiefu will agree!" Emperor Zhao Xu said.

“…”

"Your dear, please don't need to say!" Wang Jinghui was about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhao Xu: "Your dear may have his own ideas, but no matter how, the expansion of the enrollment of the Xiang army in this scale is a very important matter for the court. Even if you can convince me, it will not be of any effect. I will send an imperial edict to Xuan Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, Guo Kui, Zeng Gongliang, Wu Kui, Yang Hui, Zhao Qian, Wang Gui, and Wu Chong to discuss matters! If you have any skills, just use it on them. If you can convince these people, the enrollment of the enrollment of the Xiang army can also be issued from the Secretariat, and the subordinates and subordinates will pass it. Otherwise, after the three seals are returned, I will think twice!"

Wang Anshi and Sima Guang are two giants of the Secretariat. Zeng Gongliang is the leader of the Hebei official. Wu Kui is in charge of the three officials, Zhao Qian, and Yang Hui are the leaders of the subordinates and subordinates, while Wu Chong is the chief censor! If it is not very important in the court, once Wang Anshi and Sima Guang unified their opinions, with their respective influence, they will most likely pass. However, Wang Jinghui's proposal this time was too big and there were too many things to consider. Zhao Xu knew that he could not withstand the lobbying of the son-in-law. In fact, basically every one-on-one conversation, he could always be persuaded by Wang Jinghui, but the subordinates and subordinates had the power to refute the imperial edicts of the Secretariat. No one would like to see the situation of returning the three seals. No one would want to see the situation - the Secretariat and the subordinates and subordinates must stand up and be responsible for the imperial edicts that cannot be passed, and there is only one fate - resignation or deposed!

This political risk is too great. Emperor Zhao Xu is now unwilling to see the change in the court that had just calmed down at this time. Moreover, he is very satisfied with this team. If three seals really happen, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi will be of great use, but Zhao Qian, Yang Hui and Wu Chong are in danger of being deposed. Of course, there is another situation. Wang Jinghui is really capable of handling this large group of people so that the imperial edict can be successfully passed and implemented. If it cannot convince or even oppose it, then... Wang Jinghui will be expelled from the political center of the Song Dynasty.

It's far away - the Censorate will never miss this opportunity! Compared to deposing some people, Emperor Zhao Xu is even more unwilling tolerating Wang Jinghui's withdrawal from the chess game, which will also make the situation in the dynasty suddenly become confusing. The conflict between the conservatives and the reformists will erupt, and the new and old accounts between the two factions will be settled together. This is another big trouble. Only Wang Jinghui in the court can balance the two factions. Zhao Xuxuan and others went to the palace to discuss matters simply to allow Wang Jinghui to retreat. Either give up this idea, or reduce the number of enrollment areas of the wing army to a level that everyone can accept.

"According to the rules, it may be normal to recruit the Xiang army among the victims to reduce the rebellion. However, the situation in Hebei has not deteriorated to this point. Even if it is recruiting the Xiang army, there is no need to do so. 30,000 to 40,000 can definitely meet the needs. As the prince-consort said, a hundred thousand is a bit too much!" Sima Guang said gently. Although he felt sorry for the loss of the country's financial situation, stabilizing the situation in the disaster area was more important at this time, so he did not have much objection.

"Master, this is a result of the investigation and statistics from the instructor!" Wang Jinghui took out a note from his sleeve and presented it to the eunuch next to him. He originally wanted to deal with Zhao Xu and then go back to convince other ministers, but Zhao Xu had to face so many people when he escaped.

"This memorial was the result of the statistics of Guanghui Warehouse in various routes in Hebei. There is also my memorial granary. All the grains are stored for disaster relief and this year are not a big problem. The biggest problem is that next year, the impact of such a large drought cannot be eliminated in one or two years. It is likely that drought will occur next year, but the impact is not so wide, but the court must prepare in advance to prevent accidents!"

In this era, no one can know how important digital statistics are to a country than Wang Jinghui. Unfortunately, he was not from this background. He could only briefly introduce it and then hand it over to the Xu family to complete it. Wang Jinghui had made very sufficient preparations for this disaster, but the actual situation was more serious than he imagined. The main problem is that there are too many people in Hebei. The food consumed by two or three million people is a very huge number.

Wang Jinghui also lacked a clear understanding of this number. Fortunately, he issued a detailed statistics on the grain reserve to Manager Li, who was in charge of disaster relief in Hebei, and strictly directed the distribution site. He also sent many students from several departments to listen to it. The two-three months of statistics and distribution speed feedback surprised him - if all the grain reserves were distributed at this rate, they could only last until February next year. At that time, Qinghuang would not accept the disaster victims and where to find food?!

In fact, there are many solutions, such as squeezing some grain from the Hebei tyrants, or stepping up transporting grain from the south to the north. These methods can easily solve the difficulties we are facing now. Even through Manager Li, he knew that there was no need to transport grain from the south from the south. The Hebei tyrants' grain storage was also an astronomical figure, which was enough to survive the disaster year. However, local tyrants were preparing to take the opportunity to raise prices and merge land. Wang Jinghui's trouble made their preparations was wasted. Because of his extensive power and strong backstage, local tyrants swallowed their anger. They also wanted to see how much money the "living Bodhisattva" could withstand such consumption.

Wang Jinghui has some solutions to deal with these local tyrants. The easiest thing is the Qingmiao money he transferred from Wang Anshi, which will make the people suddenly go bankrupt and then implicate these tyrants. Using official means can make them all go bankrupt. However, this move is too vicious and may arouse public anger. The Hebei official from the Hebei-based Hebei-owned House must turn against him. Wang Jinghui only plans to hold this handle tightly in his hand and not use it until the end, just as a weapon to deter these tyrants from not allowing them to raise prices.

Just when Wang Jinghui was a little wandering, Nirhin, who was far away in Han Qi, Hebei, wrote a letter to him to offer a plan - to open the weapons to recruit wing soldiers! The aspects of Nirhin's idea this time were too extensive and very complicated to operate, but the benefits were indeed obvious - the plan for wing military farming suggested and implemented by him was enough to digest these newly added wing soldiers. One of the benefits was that there was no need for large-scale immigration, and immediately converted wing soldiers, and their fields were expanded into Wang Jinghui's food system.

As long as you have land, Xingguo Bank will have a say in Hebei. The last barrier on Xingguo Bank naturally collapsed. No one can stop Xingguo Bank, a subsidiary of Wang Jinghui, from fully intervening in Hebei's economic system. The economic system of all the roads in Hebei is probably the most solid local protection force in the Song Dynasty. This is all due to the complex nepotism of Hebei officials. Although Nirhin does not understand the economy, he only analyzes it from a political perspective and uses this strategy to disrupt the alliance between them and knock on the shell of this turtle.
