This is the beginning of March in the eleventh year of Hongwu.
According to the summary of many previous military intelligence, Su Haisheng learned that the Gul dynasty mobilized about 60 thousand troops to participate in the battle in the north, which shows the degree of covetousness for the land in the middle of the Hualamo land river.
According to some local people, Su Haisheng learned that the fighting capacity of the Gul dynasty army was relatively strong, and many generals who could recruit good fighters were said to have fought smoothly further south, and the country’s territory was quite wide.
Su Haisheng is not worried about these indistinguishable information.
He smiled at Masud, the King of Khan who personally led the troops and went to the West Karahan Kingdom with him. "Although Guo Er’s country was outnumbered, they failed to take what they wanted from Liao people, so their ability was so much."
Masud, of course, is in line with Su Haisheng’s statement, but he is somewhat worried. Do you think that Su Haisheng’s 30,000 troops are a little too little? Is it better to have more?
Su Haisheng shook his head directly.
"There are not many soldiers, but there are many elite troops in the country, but they can never be more elite than the big army. The more troops they need, the more food they need, and the greater the confusion they will easily cause. I feel that the biggest enemy of the country is probably not us but the country’s army."
Su Haisheng still knows a lot about the little virtue of the feudal army.
This is also the case. After the Gul dynasty army entered the frontier of Hua La Mo, it started the amusement park model with no discipline at all.
As they walked, they burned, killed and looted, but whenever they saw a human settlement on the March road, they rushed to rob directly, robbed property and food, and ravaged local residents, laughing and laughing. There is no human nature at all.
Shihabuddin, the commander of the army and the younger brother of Sultan Jiyasuddin of Gul Dynasty, was not interested in this.
He is more interested in whether he has got the most precious part of the property obtained by this group of robbers than in the lives of ordinary people in China.
Even if I rob, I will be in the first place, even if everything is robbed, I will get the best.
Shihabuddin is almost such an attitude.
Moreover, this time, the marching war was difficult because of the logistics problems of going abroad. The country promised food and grass to the Gul dynasty army. It seems that Shihabuddin just got something before he got it.
The deterioration of military discipline and looting of the Gur dynasty army not only brought great disasters to the local civilians, but also brought great trouble to the local powerful landlords, officials and officials in the country.
Of course, the army of the Ministry of State will have a little scruples about a country’s noble and powerful countries not infringing on their interests, but the army of other countries is not so good at it.
And Gul Wang Chaojun, it seems that the old people have come to save you. Now I want to ask you for some food, some money and some women. What’s wrong?
So not only the civilians are more powerful, but also the landlords and strongmen have become the targets of Gul Wang Chaojun’s plunder.
Chapter 1477 The amount of flowers, thorns, molds, material resources and the favor of the Gul dynasty
It is obvious that Gul Wang Chaojun has developed a strong sense of ownership of China.
Some troops took advantage of the night to attack these landlords and strongmen’s houses, burning and looting them, and then ran away with a lot of food, money and women.
The next day, during the daytime, local officials came to have a look at the good guy’s house. Everyone was burnt to a cinder, and one of them was alive but not dead.
There are also some particularly arrogant troops who burn and rob officials in front of others, regardless of the organization of officials. They beat the officials half to death and threw them into the mud, then laughed and continued to rob recklessly.
Because of all kinds of illegal acts on the March, many local officials in the country burned and looted flowers and thorns, and they expressed strong dissatisfaction and protest to the central authorities, hoping that the central authorities would restrain these French and Japanese robbers a little.
But what can the Central Committee do?
Arslan only let the Gur dynasty army come to help the Resistance Army by all means, and all the costs have been prepared, even the land and national dignity have been sacrificed.
Now all this is the price, the price of the country continuing to go, the price of his continuing to hold power, and he will do whatever it takes.
Therefore, he made it necessary for the local authorities to be patient, to restrain their own people, to [spend a lot of money and materials to win the favor of the Gul dynasty], and to do everything for the people and local tyrants to satisfy the grandfathers of the Gul dynasty.
Only in this way can they stay and help them resist the coming army.
For arslan, this attitude is obviously divided into two factions, one supporting and the other opposing, with less support than opponents.
Arslan is a die-hard supporter of Paige, but his cronies are naturally transferred with him when he pulls them up.
The opposition, on the other hand, is mainly from a powerful family with its own family power scattered in the local area, and is under great threat from Gul Wang Chaojun, and some of them have been killed.
They generally believe that the military discipline of the Gur dynasty is corrupt and reckless, which has brought such a great disaster to Hua La Mo. What will it bring after that?
They dare not even think about it!
After whether they win or lose, is it any good for Hua La Mo?
From then on, the flower-stinging people are second-class citizens, and they will be subjected to more cruel exploitation and oppression, and more things will be taken away than their lives, and not only civilians, but also their expensive ones may become fish!
How can this be accepted?
A large group of them thought about it and suddenly felt that things had changed.
Anyway, this battle has not started yet. Would it have a better ending if they jumped from time to time with flowers and stabbed the Chinese army to attack the Gul-Wang Chaojun United Army from behind?
Chinese people want to find fault with arslan, not the whole imperial court. Their officials may not suffer the same treatment, will they?
Some people are worried, so some people take the example of West Karahan Kingdom for comparison.
The kingdom of West Karahan once threatened to dispatch 30,000 troops to attack the army together, which suffered heavy losses after World War I, but China did not accuse the kingdom of West Karahan, but recognized it as a vassal state.
Now the kingdom of West Karahan can throw its weight around with its back. Isn’t this the best future?
It is said that the kingdom of West Karahan made the right decision to arrest Xiao Wolila, the marshal of Liao country, and dedicate him to the country, which saved the situation. So should we follow suit now?
These expensive people have long been dissatisfied with many things in arslan, so they secretly acted and tried their best to fight for their own interests.
On the other hand, the agents of Tianwang Army told Su Haisheng, who was marching, about the reckless things of burning and looting the frontier of Gur Dynasty, which made Su Haisheng somewhat have an idea of marching to the river house area.
"Guo Er’s army is so perverse that the Chinese people should not react at all because your officials will not react. I think they will definitely have conflicts. If we advance rapidly, we may not see such a good thing."
Masud was curious about Su Haisheng’s idea.
"What do you mean?"
"Why don’t we postpone the March and March slowly, which just gives the logistics a breathing space? Now it’s the spring ploughing season, and I can also let the army help farmers cultivate the land and pay close attention to the farming season to reduce the impact on production."
Su Haisheng grinned. "To tell you the truth, I don’t think it’s a good thing to enter the decisive battle as soon as possible. It’s inevitable that Guo Er’s army will go against the trend and cause chaos in the country. Why don’t you wait a little?"
Su Haisheng asked Masud politely, but he couldn’t take it as Su Haisheng asking his opinion.
Whether Su Haisheng asks or not, if he wants it, he will definitely push it, and then Masud is against the law.
It should be said that the loss of grain is the smallest if the army stops moving forward and stops in a certain place. Of course, grain transportation is the loss in the process of marching. Once it stops, it is really much better to have local direct supply.
Masud doesn’t have any ideas about doing farm work, just as Su Haisheng is talking and laughing. I’m afraid the 30 thousand people will have to take care of their own rations, which is another big expense
He was going to eat this yabakui, but I didn’t expect Su Haisheng to be a real advocate.
He ordered thirty thousand troops to be divided into two parts.
One part carries out daily military training, and the other part goes to the countryside to help local people engage in agricultural production. The two sides exchange responsibilities in turn to ensure that military and production are not lost.
Before joining the army, the soldiers were all farmers, and they were not unfamiliar with all kinds of agricultural production techniques and were strong. Fifteen thousand strong laborers joined in agricultural production, which was a great help to the local people.
At first, the local people were very afraid of these strong soldiers, and they didn’t know what they were doing here.
Local officials and officials claimed that these big soldiers were here to help you do farm work, which was ridiculous to farmers, and some people even thought it was funny.
It’s good that these arrogant and cruel soldiers don’t come to rob and bully men and women, but also come to help you do farm work?
How can there be such a soldier in the world?
