Song Beiyun

This policy is very important. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the basic national policy of the Song Dynasty. Whether it is external or internal, we must try our best to achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost, especially when we are crushing the situation. Be careful and be careful.

Just like the Asian army has easily taken over Constantinople, one of the most important cities in Europe, because many residents who fled have not yet returned, and the second is that it has not undergone large-scale destruction. The urban fabric is still intact.The last reason is that most civilians have a certain favorable opinion of this army.

Because they found that what these people with different faces did not bring about killing and terror, but started production and organizational construction in the first place. Who doesn't like people who engage in construction.

Of course, there are still undercover agents of the European Army in the city, but the Song Army has a natural advantage in investigating such things. You must know that there are not only brave and fearless fighters in the Asian Army, but also a large number of recruits from colleges and universities at all levels. The cultural people who come up, those who can come out of those colleges in this era, are all top-notch, and it can even be said that they are all talents for future governance of the country.

What they will govern is the country with the largest population, the most complex ethnic groups, the largest land area, and the most diverse beliefs in the world.

The outstanding young people who grew up in such a country cannot compare with other places, because in the eyes of most countries, 1 people are already a large number, but for China, 1 Ten thousand people is nothing more than a sports meeting held between several colleges in Chang'an.

This is an absolute advantage.

After taking over Constantinople, those top students were quickly organized. First, they divided Constantinople into 27 regions. The population of Constantinople was about one million at its peak. After the tossing of that flag, there were probably less than 70 people left before the war, and after the war, including those who fled and did not return, there were probably less than 70 people left.

Divide these 40 people into more than 20 communities with more than 1 people, select a few leading locals from among the more than [-] people, and then register these people one by one. The whole process takes less than three days The verification and registration of Constantinople was completed.

Do you really think that a county is difficult to manage?difficulty?Can Chang'an be difficult?Can Jinling be difficult?In Chang'an, there are almost 50 grassland people, Dangxiang people, and Tubo people alone. There are also Persians, Turkic people, etc. for many years, and there are as many as 150 million Shaomin people.Have there been conflicts over the years?

I really thought the School of Foreign Affairs was joking, but this is their professional counterpart.

This efficiency shocked the observers of other countries in the coalition. They all knew that Da Song had a strong organizational ability, but no one expected to be able to be so strong. They could even introduce a series of rewards and punishments within three days. There are also regulations to accommodate post-war recovery efforts.

And the factories, farmland, fishing grounds, etc. here all resumed production as soon as they were taken over. In addition to the usual salary, there will be an additional subsidy for workers who come back to work.

Moreover, they even pulled up the regime of New Rome on the spot, and shouted the slogan that Rome is the Rome of the Romans.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the management as miraculous. This is an eye-opener for those civilizations that are generally recognized as having to massacre cities and bloodbath to complete the takeover.

"The cultural characteristics of Han civilization have never been massacre and conquest." Goudan sat there chatting with a few friends. These friends came from all corners of the country, some were little princes from Persia and some were high-ranking Turkic nobles. , Goudan naturally became the star focus.

"My father said that massacre and conquest can never make peace come true. The dream of harassing others with guns will eventually be visited by guns. So we have always faced other countries and civilizations in the most civilized way. These You should all know." Goudan said with a smile: "We prefer to make friends than war."

"But this war was started by you."

Goudan pursed his lips and smiled: "Then why not ask our new friends if this war is necessary. We don't like slaughter and conquest, but civilization does not mean weakness, and elegance does not mean powerlessness. Their brutality You have also seen that the expedition is to better protect our own safety, and this battle must be fought."

Chapter 959: Snow on December 20, 12

Small-scale battles around Constantinople continued, as the enemy was unable to muster large forces because of the airships, but warfare itself was an ever-changing art, and they had now learned new evasive tactics and began using Another way to launch an attack on this battleground.

Small-caliber artillery, mass skirmishers, and multiple offensive tactics were all used in the attack on Constantinople.

To be honest, this caused a headache for the coalition forces. Although it couldn't have much impact on the overall battle situation, it fought back and forth with the coalition forces at the tactical level.

The offense and defense of the two sides are constantly changing, and the rumble of cannons can be heard every day in the city, which is very exciting.

Yang Wenguang took the military newspaper and said to Pan Wenxi: "The Lord said that the enemy must not be so easy to handle. Now we really don't want to be aggressive. They can't hit the airship now, but the airship can't effectively deter them."

"Well, using cover and concealment, it is difficult for the airship to have the effect it had the first time. And I guess they should have come up with weapons that can hit the airship."

Yang Wenguang and Pan Weixi, one from the East China Sea New Army and the other from the North Navy, are both generals and possess advanced knowledge. Their control of the overall battle situation is still very precise.

The opponent is actually very strong, far stronger than any army they have ever seen (except the blue army). Although the Asian army did play a good game at the beginning, as the war progressed, the coalition gradually began to attack the opponent's home court. In combat, many things have changed.

Of course, the overall strength is stronger than the Asian army, but the problem is to avoid large-scale casualties, so the coalition forces are relatively passive now.

"Now we need a stable winter. There will be a four-month closure period. I think this period of time is just enough to free up our hands for a round of rest. Otherwise, the soldiers will be too tired from the years of war."

"Yes." Yang Wenguang thought for a moment: "It's been almost three years before I know it."

Pan Weixi smiled, leaned on the chair and was silent for a moment: "I don't know how long it will take."

In fact, war is really an act that consumes people's minds. Death is always by our side. Anyone will become a desperado on the battlefield. Thanks to the strict military discipline of the coalition forces, otherwise we would not have known what would happen. What happened.

Even in order to balance the long-term mental imbalance of the soldiers, Yang Wenguang has relaxed the control on the current urban brothels. As long as they don't wear the uniforms of the coalition forces, the rest of the pickets will not be too difficult.

Now that winter is coming, the frequency of the enemy's attacks has also begun to decrease. If there are no accidents, the first truce period between the two sides may be ushered in after a while, although everyone knows in their hearts that there will be a truce when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. It was an arduous battle, but the rest of four or five months is really precious now.

Sure enough, as Yang Wenguang expected, after the first cold current hit, the enemy's nuisance disappeared, and they all retreated to Serdica, relying on the winter cold current to resist the footsteps of the Asian army.

At this point, the first phase of the war came to an end, and both sides entered the winter truce phase. Both the Asian army and the European army breathed a sigh of relief.

The first thing to do in the truce is to count the battle damage. According to statistics, the Asian Army suffered more than [-] casualties, of which the Song Army suffered more than [-] casualties, and the Allied Forces suffered more than [-] casualties. .

The losses of the European Army were relatively severe. Their total losses reached 27 people, and their losses reached 3000% of the total number of combatants.

This is a very tragic battle loss. I am afraid that the European side will have a hard time. Because of the gap in weapons and tactics, and the tactics of the elite soldiers on the Song side, the European army is really about to be unable to withstand it.

So this winter may be more important to them than to the Asian army, at least it can give them a buffer time.

And since the envoys for peace were expelled, they have not sent any more envoys, but they have written documents for peace.

According to Song Beiyun's instructions, the coalition forces are not allowed to accept the enemy's peace agreement in any way, and unless they voluntarily surrender, they will never have any peace talks with them.

With the end of the first phase of the war, the tense nerves of the soldiers stationed in the city finally relaxed. Except for routine training, most of the time they kept relatively leisurely.

Goudan was promoted to the General Staff Headquarters and became a staff officer because of his outstanding combat performance and high cultural level.Now that the truce is over, he can be regarded as completely free.

He and the young lady of the Xu family are currently fighting fiercely. After all, the two are family friends and they are about the same age, and the girl is quite proactive.

On this day, it was snowing heavily, and the outside of Constantinople was covered with white snow, covering the smoke of war under the pure white snow.

"Brother!"

The little sister of the Xu family walked up to Goudan with a basket. They were going to visit the war orphans shelter outside the city today, but they couldn't go because of the heavy snow last night and the roads were impassable.

Goudan had no choice but to come outside the training ground of his old army to watch the daily training of his brothers.

He actually had itchy hands, but now he is no longer a member of the Pioneer Camp, so he can only look at it greedily.

"How did you come?"

"I asked people, and they said you came here." The little sister of the Xu family smiled and said, "I brought you some food, I made it myself, it's delicious..."

"This..." Goudan looked around, it was quiet, but he still blushed: "Isn't it good?"

"What's wrong?" The younger sister of the Xu family said with a charming face, "Anyway, when I get back, I'll ask my father to mention it to Uncle Song."

"Don't, don't..." Goudan coughed, "Don't say it here."

The younger sister of the Xu family looked around curiously: "There's no one here..."

After finishing speaking, her eyes narrowed into a smile, and she walked forward with a hey smile: "Why don't you give me a sneaky kiss, brother?"

Goudan coughed again and again, with an embarrassed look on his face.

"What's the matter, do you know another girl? Dislike me?"

"No...just..."

Before the words were finished, a signal flare went up ahead, and the snow around Goudan suddenly moved. Then more than 100 brothers in white cloaks stood up from the snow, and then charged towards the target point.

When Zhou Cheng ran past Goudan, he even yelled, "Hurry up and give me a kiss!"

Seeing this scene, the younger sister of the Xu family blushed, and she crouched on the ground covering her face.

Goudan let out a long sigh...

"You didn't even tell me!!!" The younger sister of the Xu family stomped her feet and complained, "You must know that there are people around here, right?"

Goudan opened his mouth: "I said... I said stop talking here."

"You bully people...you have no face to face people."

The little girl stuffed the basket into his hand, covered her face and ran away, but Goudan didn't have the nerve to chase after him, standing there with a blank face.

About half an hour later, the brothers from the Pioneer Battalion came back here one after another after their drills. Everyone looked at him with a playful face, and Zhou Cheng even poked his head to look at his basket: "Hey, meat rolls Cake, what a treat, Brother Goudan."

"Oh..." Goudan laughed awkwardly: "Stop making trouble..."

"Brother Goudan...I want to kiss..." Zhou Cheng put his face in front of Goudan without hesitation: "Would you like to give me a kiss, or give me a cake to eat."

Goudan pushed away his big face, and handed him the basket: "Take it and share it with the brothers."

"Come on, it's just a few yuan, you can keep it for yourself." Zhou Cheng took off his hat, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit it, leaning against the tree: "The winning streak went back a few days ago, he may There is no way to stay in the Pioneer Camp any longer.”

Hearing the news, Goudan couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity that Lian Sheng, he is really a good seed."

"Then what to do, one hand has no four fingers, one eye is blind, and one ear is deaf. It is lucky to be alive."

Zhou Cheng handed Goudan a cigarette, and Goudan waved his hand to say no, then sat on the ground and handed the basket in his hand to the old comrade-in-arms: "I should have fought side by side with you."

"Okay, you saved our lives." Zhou Cheng waved his hand, and then consciously took out a piece of cake from the basket and ate it: "If you came two hours late, we would definitely die."

Even though he said so, Goudan still couldn't let go of this pimple in his heart. The brothers who fought side by side are now dying, injured, and retreating, but he doesn't even have the chance to fight side by side with them.

For a soldier, this is simply a shame.

But there is no way, as Yang Wenguang said, he has to learn to protect himself, because he is the eldest son of the Song family and must shoulder the responsibilities of the eldest son.

"Brother Goudan, don't worry." Zhou Cheng gave him a thumbs up, "I'll charge for you."

At this moment in Chang'an, Song Beiyun had just finished a meeting on internal rectification.

Yan Shu also came from Jinling, because these things are still quite difficult now, and the Great Song Shuangji must negotiate.

"These people seldom join the army out of loyalty to the country. Most of the nobles join the army just for the sake of gilding. This is not good for the morale and morale of the army, so it must be restricted. Even some second sons who have no inheritance rights want to To join the army is to gain more benefits in the future competition for fame and fortune."

Yan Shu thumped the table vigorously. He was about to be driven crazy by Jinling's gang. He didn't have the iron fist or courage like Song Beiyun. Now he could only transfer these difficult matters to Song Beiyun.

"The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard." Song Beiyun said with a smile: "Actually, this is all understandable. You have to know that no matter what era they are in, these people will have three marks on their bodies. Corruption and partisanship."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Yan Shu with a smile: "I really don't have time to deal with these people now, but it will be soon. After the European Raiders are over, they will be in trouble."

In fact, how could Song Beiyun not know the virtues of those people, but the problem is that as long as there are high and low status in this world, this situation cannot be eliminated.

So it's a struggle, a constant struggle.

Now that this group of people sees a point that can be used for gold plating in the distant war, they will naturally rush in, but the problem is that the army formed by this group of noble children will not only not bring new opportunities to the existing system. On the contrary, the blood will bring that stench of corruption into the barracks.

Of course, they couldn't take the lead in charging, and they might even need someone to take care of this bunch of waste that couldn't even take care of themselves.

So it is absolutely impossible to let these people go to the front line.But the problem is that there is a loophole in it, because they do meet the registration requirements for the army, and your sons of Song Beiyun are all in there, so why can't other people's sons go?

So here lies the problem.

"Then what do you plan to do?"

Yan Shu looked at Song Beiyun curiously, but Song Beiyun just waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this now, let's have a good meal first, I haven't eaten outside for a long time."

"So busy?"

"Yeah." Song Beiyun sighed: "It's getting more and more busy, after all, there are more and more things to deal with and the land is getting bigger and bigger."

The place the two of them went to was not a particularly luxurious place, but a well-known Chang'an beef offal shop. Although this thing was a bit out of date, in this cold weather, nothing could compare to a large restaurant. Bowl of beef offal with chilli and peppercorns.

Yan Shu was so hot that his mouth gurgled, the spicy taste made him dizzy, but it was indeed comfortable, so comfortable that he couldn't help but unbutton his clothes.

"In this way, it is okay to let them go to the battlefield, but there is a condition."

"What conditions?"

"You can't go to the combat troops." Song Beiyun said with a smile: "Only in the logistics position."

"Can they be willing?"

Song Beiyun looked at Yan Shu with his chin propped on one hand, his face full of jokes: "They will be willing."

There are some words that don’t need to be pointed out. People who understand will naturally understand. If you are not in the logistics, you will charge. There is nothing to say. It is not impossible to want to be gilded.After all, Song Beiyun is not a devil.

While they were talking, suddenly there was a humming sound above their heads. Yan Shu leaned to the window to take a look, only to see an all wooden propeller plane flying over their heads.

Yan Shu stared at the ugly plane, while Song Beiyun waved his hands and said, "It's just a plane, and it has no real value. It's still in the experimental stage."

"Didn't it mean the engine was not working?"

"Of course the engine won't work. What I need now is a tank, an iron tortoise. But the horsepower is insufficient, and it lacks carrying capacity, so it's difficult to deliver it. Airplanes can really be made casually, and more importantly... This guy's plane."

Before he could finish speaking, the plane suddenly stopped in the air. After gliding flickeringly for a while, the plane was loaded into the soft muddy ground of the river...

Chapter 960: Sunny January 21, 1

Song Beiyun came to this place early because he was going to the capital to attend the New Year's work report conference.

This day, he and Yan Shu went to have a light meal. It was the same old shop, the same shop that sold beef secretly.

Now beef does not need to be sold secretly, and it is not even considered a precious item. Because of the widespread promotion and planting of sweet potatoes and corn, large livestock is no longer as tight as it used to be.

It's just that the two of them who were sitting there eating couldn't think of how they could kill a whole pot like they did back then.

And the owner of this shop also passed away two years ago, and now his son is taking over his position, and the craftsmanship has been inherited from his father. There is no breakthrough but no regression.

Eating a familiar taste after many years is actually very emotional. After a sip of thick soup, the memory seems to be brought back to a certain winter day. At that time, everyone was still young, and the things that were thinking in their hearts are now forgotten. It's been a long time, but the aftertaste is full of kindness.
