Thunder Emperor

After Wanyan Aguda received the "gift" from Song Huizong, he went into a rage and killed several Liao slaves in order to calm his anger.After much deliberation, Wanyan Aguda decided that the main force of the Kingdom of Jin would continue to attack the Liao Kingdom and the retaliatory attack on the Song Kingdom would be handed over to his second son Song Wang Wanyan Zongwang and fourth son Liang Wang Wanyan Zongbi. With [-] cavalry, they headed south from the junction of Shanxi and Hebei, intending to directly attack Daming Mansion, an important town in Shandong.

It is thought that all the units of the Song Army are equipped with powerful firearms such as arquebus guns, so the Jin Army did not achieve great results in various places along the way, but suffered small losses in many battles.This annoyed Wanyan Zongwang, who looked down on the Great Song army, and was determined to take down the Daming Mansion, so as to teach Song Huizong and the Great Song a profound lesson.But they didn't know that since the moment the Jin army entered the territory of the Song Dynasty, the intelligent unmanned reconnaissance aircraft exchanged by Liu Qiang followed closely at an altitude of [-] meters above their heads, monitoring every move of the Jin army in real time .

After detailed arrangements, under the careful planning of Liu Qiang and Li Qi, under the careful planning of Zong Ze, the famous general who was specially transferred, and Zhong Shidao, who had already been subdued by Liu Qiang and is currently the general marshal of the Song Dynasty and the New Army, Zhong Shidao and others, the number of people in the anti-golden army was [-]. The advance army, officially established and the only way to the Jin army, is located at Luokoudu, the only Yellow River ferry between Lubei and Daming Mansion, and is ready to deal a fatal blow to the Jin army.

The current Great Song Dynasty has completely lost its previous appearance, thinking that all the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were tamed by Liu Qiang, so that Liu Qiang and Li Qi could carry out reforms freely. This kind of comprehensive reform behavior is absolutely comparable to the reform and opening up of the year.First of all, the two first reformed the economy of the Song Dynasty, opened up the trade routes in the south, southwest and west, and encouraged merchants to conduct foreign trade. form to open up international business routes.

In just five months, this form of large-scale trade has brought huge benefits to Song Dynasty. The people have become richer and the market has become more active. On the premise of reducing and exempting most miscellaneous taxes, the national finance has actually grown steadily. , coupled with the full opening of Quanzhou Port, sea trade is also developing rapidly with the support of the state.In terms of military affairs, Song Dynasty organized the old, weak, sick and disabled in various armies to develop centralized breeding farms, and properly arranged these sergeants with low combat effectiveness.In addition, the diversion and resettlement arrangements were made for those redundant officials who were eating and drinking in the army, and the phenomenon of redundant officials was eliminated on a large scale.

However, during this period, the redundant officials in various places opposed this reform at the beginning, and caused many rebellions, but they all became jokes in the market in front of the suppressed army prepared in advance, and these rebellions All the people were thrown into various mines, where they were subjected to endless heavy physical labor. This fate also played a deterrent effect, and the subsequent reform work went very smoothly.

After the economic and military reforms were completed, Liu Qiang and Li Qi reformed the functions of the officialdom, abolished many complicated and useless departments, integrated and redistributed the officials, and reformed the original yamen into the current seven major departments and five small departments. Bureau, and the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of National Defense, Ministry of Construction, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Communications, Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the five small bureaus include the Taxation Bureau, Police Bureau, Salt Bureau, Railway Bureau and Supervision Bureau.

After such a huge reform movement, the first effect is the national finance and military of the Song Dynasty. The reform of agriculture is undergoing a pilot reform. The Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Communications have also begun to join forces to repair the national road. To carry out peaceful development-style diplomacy, the most cumbersome thing is the Ministry of Education. The talented scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty have developed many bad habits due to years of privileged treatment. Against it, in the short ten days in Bianliang City, there were actually six demonstrations organized by scholars, parades and hunger strikes.

However, faced with the suppression of the country's emerging violent organization, the Police Department, these pampered and helpless scholars all chose to acquiesce and submit. After less than fifteen days of trouble, they went home and began to suffer. I went to read the textbooks selected by the Ministry of Education.Leaving aside the ongoing and upcoming changes, this time Liu Qiang and Li Qi took the only completely reformed new army of the Song Dynasty to the battle, preparing to use advanced equipment and military management concepts to show the new style of the new army of the Song Dynasty. Appearance and combat effectiveness.As long as it can be severely damaged or completely annihilated this time, the [-] Golden Army cavalry unit will give Song Dynasty at least two more years of peaceful development, which is precious time that Liu Qiang and Li Qi urgently need.

At the end of August in the fifth year of Xuanhe, the New Song Army of 3 people passed by. After 24 days of traveling day and night, they finally arrived at Luokou Ferry on August [-] before the cavalry of the Jin Army.The north bank of Luokoudu is a plain, while the south bank is close to Daming Mansion, which is sandwiched by two hills with an altitude of about [-]. Through the valley between the mountains is the city of Daming Mansion, an important town in the Song Dynasty.

The former garrison Taiwei of Daming Mansion has been dismissed due to fleeing abroad. The new city defense commander (new official position) is Han Shizhong, a famous anti-golden general in the Northern Song Dynasty, and his wife is Liang Hongyu, a female general who has been famous through the ages.The new army of the Song Dynasty now implements a military rank system, canceling all the official positions that Liu Qiang fainted after listening to them, and all serving officers will use the corresponding new official positions. Shangshu Zhaoqi) Deputy Marshal (former Minister of the Ministry of War Li Gang) Garrison Commander (former Palace Marshal Gao Qiu) Commander of each military region (successor by the former governor of each army) Deputy Commander of each military region (deputy governor).

Further down is the senior colonel, colonel, lieutenant colonel, major, quasi-colonel, captain, captain, lieutenant, second lieutenant, and warrant officer. So far, the ranks of soldiers are: sergeant, sergeant, corporal, third-class soldier, second-class soldier and first-class soldier. wait for soldiers.Military rank style Liu Qiang and Li Qi directly copied the military rank style of the modern army, and designed arm tags suitable for the new army of the Song Dynasty. The upper part of the arm tag is embroidered with a unicorn and the lower part is embroidered with the name of the military position. The first class is blood red, the first class officer is dark purple, the first class lieutenant is sky blue, and the first class soldier is black.

The military ranks have been reformed, and the troops are divided into three parts: combat, reconnaissance, and logistics according to the different combat methods and nature.Combat troops consist of infantry (mainly musketeers, supplemented by spears and sword shields), cavalry (heavy cavalry and light cavalry) and artillery (new army, equipped with new 90-caliber smoothbore guns).The reconnaissance unit is relatively simple, and they are all selected from the soldiers of the original Song Army who are more skilled and clever.The logistics troops include the Huotou Army (cooking as the name suggests), the Construction Army (constructing camps, building bridges and paving roads) and the Medical Army (composed of a large number of doctors accompanying the army).

The whole army of the Song Dynasty and the New Army implemented the three-three system, and one army and three divisions, one division and three brigades, one brigade and three regiments, one regiment and three battalions, one battalion and three companies, one company and three platoons, one platoon and three squads, and one squad and three teams. Organizational system, the most basic team consists of three musketeers, three spearmen and three sword and shield hands.During combat, all kinds of weapons are gathered together in a company, and each plays its own specialties. The musketeers line up in three rows to fire. Among them, there are pikemen who deploy spears to defend the cavalry when they meet the enemy, and there are sword and shield soldiers in close combat. Killing the enemy forms a continuous lethality from the front, middle and back. This is a fighting method suitable for this period specially deduced by Liu Qiang referring to the infantry combat methods of various periods.

Artillery is the focus of war in various periods. Liu Qiang specially set up an artillery unit directly under it, at least up to the regiment level. Each regiment has thirty 90-caliber smoothbore guns, all of which fire explosive shells. They are specially trained for the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin. It can be fired three times per minute, and this is all due to the credit of the Ordnance Research Institute. They have specially developed a one-piece shell for the disadvantages of the cannon’s troublesome loading. Pierce the ammunition package at the back of the shell, and it can be fired, and the speed is far faster than Liu Qiang's imagination.

Now Liu Qiang divided all the artillery equipped with this kind of cannon into two and arranged them on two mountains on the south bank of Luokou. In the bushes on the mountainside, as soon as an order is given, thousands of guns will be fired, smashing the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin who entered the valley into a sieve.In order to achieve the best ambush effect, Liu Qiang ordered the entire army not to light fires for cooking, and even soldiers addicted to cigarettes were not allowed to smoke dry tobacco, in case the Jin army on the opposite side discovered their ambush.

In the early morning of the third day after the ambush position was set up, Liu Qiang, in the headquarters set up on the back of the mountain, through the terminal of the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, saw a dark patch of Golden Army cavalry on the north bank, and immediately ordered all troops to enter the position, and strictly prohibited making any noise.When the cavalry of the Jin Army reached the north bank of the Yellow River, they began to prepare various sheepskin rafts for crossing the river, and sent Xiao Gu's troops along the river to search for large boats for crossing the river.At around 300:1 p.m., the Jin army collected nearly a hundred ships of all sizes, plus more than [-] large sheepskin rafts, and transported one-third of the troops to the south bank at one time. The more than [-] Jin troops landed After that, they began to camp on the open ground between the river bank and the hill.
