From Soldier To Emperor - Chapter 412
“This Yue Fei is really cautious. According to their practice, we will have to face a large number of village fortresses in a few months.”
Genevieve looked at the report and complained.
This is the focus of this strategy!
Outsiders don’t know the inside story, but Genevieve knows that the 10,000 Lancers recruited by using the 20,000 gas luck coins obtained from 14 years of taxation have moved to the front line, waiting for the Yue family army to penetrate the plain area and attack the Yue family in one fell swoop. The main force of the army, take down the head of Yue Fei’s loyal dog!
To the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei was a hero, but to Richard’s Bei Ming, Yue Fei was his biggest stumbling block in unifying the eastern continent!
“Don’t worry, Yue Fei is not the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. Under such a good situation, the Yue Family Army’s offensive has stagnated, spending a lot of manpower and financial resources to build the seemingly useless Tubao fortress. You think that the Southern Song court gang will be taken advantage of. Huh?”
Richard comforted Genevieve with confidence.
In May of the Ming Dynasty calendar, Richard’s prediction broke out!
The money and food used to build the fortress is not a small amount. Even if the local civilians are not paid, they still have to eat food!
After all, the Yue Family Army is not a bandit army, but a reasonable regular army!
So from the beginning of the construction of the Tubao fortress, the money that was not wealthy in the Southern Song Dynasty began to flow out like flowing water…
Regardless of finances, Yue Fei naturally felt that it was necessary to build a fortress as a tactical support point for strategic needs. Yue Fei, the cavalry force of the Ming army, knew very well that the Yuejia army had no formed cavalry. Once it was defeated by the main Ming army in the plain area, Ming The army only needs to dispatch a cavalry to chase and kill the Yue Family’s army. There is no way to enter the earth…
When the time comes, it will not be a question of how many troops will be lost, but the entire Yue Family Army will fall into the sand!
Therefore, the necessary construction of the earthen fortress is to ensure the safety of the Yue Family Army.
At the same time, it can also ensure that the logistics line of the Yuejia Army lacking cavalry will not be cut off.
However, Yue Fei did not know that Chai Migui was not in charge, and the Southern Song court could not bear it!
The money for the Southern Song Dynasty’s wars now does not come from taxes, but from the wealthy private businessmen and landlord gentry class who feared Beiming!
The war tax they worked so hard to donate was not for Yue Fei to build the fort, but for the Yue Family Army to attack Beiming!
And even from a strategic point of view, the Southern Song Dynasty court believed that the Yue Family Army now had an absolute advantage, and the Ming Army’s main force was left with less than 10,000 people, and it was still building a fart fortress!
The continuous retreat of the Ming army created an illusion to the entire Southern Song court, that Richard’s main force was unable to fight the Yuejia army head-on…
Not only the Southern Song Dynasty court, Yue Fei also developed the notion that the main force of the Ming army could not defeat the Yue family army, and the construction of the earthen fortress was just in case.
The most important thing is that Yue Fei worried that Richard would cut off his back.
There were light cavalry in the rear of the Ming Army to obscure the vision, and the scouts of the Yue Family Army could not pass through to investigate, so they did not know the reality of the Ming Army’s rear.
What if Richard hides a team of cavalry again?
It doesn’t need to be too many, a few thousand cavalry will be enough to cut off the Yue Family Army’s back path.
It’s a pity that the Southern Song Dynasty hall in the rear didn’t know the suffering of the front line, and only the continuous victories and the shrinking Yue family army were in their eyes!
The most important thing is that the Southern Song Dynasty court and the wealthy people donated by the people don’t want their money to be spent on the useless Tubao fortress!
Once interest is involved, there are countless people to promote, and now Song Taizu has been squeezed by many young girls to lie in the hospital bed, and there is not much time to wake up in a day than to sleep…
Therefore, the prince group is already the regent in the court.
The Prince Group is not like Song Taizu, Song Taizu can firmly suppress Yue Fei by relying on his personal prestige, but the prince does not have this personal prestige!
Therefore, the Prince Group has always regarded Yue Fei as a huge hidden danger to the stability of the court. Looking at the Song army from all walks of life, only the Yue Family Army is the most powerful and has a brilliant record. If Yue Fei rebelled, the prince asked himself that it would be difficult to suppress the Yue Family Army, if Yue Fei occupied again. Sichuan is a properly separatist warlord!
The court of the Southern Song Dynasty without money is far worse than before!
The Prince Group, whose treasury is empty, is naturally unwilling to continue filling Yue Fei’s bottomless pit. God knows if those who built the Tubao fortress in name have been pocketed by the Yue family’s army and become Yue Fei’s military expenditure for expanding his forces?
Now that Yue Jiajun has become the pillar of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Prince Group does not have the prestige of Song Taizu, and naturally does not dare to act rashly, otherwise it is not impossible to be abolished as the prince.
Since you can’t directly move the Yue Family Army, you can only think of ways from other aspects, and you can’t use your own strength to draw the entire interest group to deal with the Yue Family Army!
As a result, the Prince Group began to take advantage of the dissatisfaction of the rich private class and many ministers in the court to the Yue Family Army, directly cut off the supply of money and food for the Yue Family Army to build the Tubao Fortress, and strictly ordered the Yue Family Army to attack Beiming!
It is not enough to issue orders only~www.mtlnovel.com~ Under the auspices of the Prince Regent, the Southern Song Dynasty court simply gave the Yue Family Army a time limit, and even the basic military expenses would be cut off if they did not conquer a certain area within the specified time limit!
This order is very terrible. The best method used by the Southern Song Dynasty to control the army is to control money and food.
Different from the former Tang, all the troops in the Southern Song Dynasty belonged to the state, and the military and government were separated. Local fiscal taxes were paid to the central government, and the local garrisons could not get any money or food directly from the local government.
Even the local garrison has to rely on the central financial allocation, let alone the Yuejia army who is going to the enemy country?
While issuing this order, the Han Jiajun and Yang Jiajun also arrived in Sichuan one after another, to prevent the Yue Jiajun from suddenly rebelling back to the cornucopia of Sichuan!
Sichuan is an important food production base for the Southern Song Dynasty, and its role is second only to the Jiangnan region!
After Yue Fei received the order and the movements of Han Jiajun and Yang Jiajun, he naturally immediately guessed the court’s defense against him.
However, Yue Fei did not show any rebellious attitude towards the court. The Southern Song court might not know it, but everyone around Yue Fei knew that he was a loyal fool!
Many people have seen the four characters “Jing, loyal, and serving the country” behind them. After all, Yue Fei often drills with the soldiers. It is normal to take off his coat when it is hot.
This is also the reason for the strong centripetal force of the Yue Family Army, even if the general who later took refuge in Yue Fei, he admired Yue Fei’s personal charm.
Selfless and patriotic people have been respected since ancient times.
Therefore, even if Yue Feiming knew the risk of abandoning the construction of the Tubao fortress to attack, he still took the 60,000 Yue Family Army’s core main force according to the order of the court, and attacked it according to the order issued by the court!
When Yue Fei took this step, the future destiny of Yue Family Army was already doomed!
