What war seeks is the opportunity, and fighting means taking the lead.
Whoever spreads out on the battlefield first and seizes strategic key points will not only win the war, but at least there will be no risk of losing.
Xuzhou's 200,000, Lianghuai, 150,000, and 350,000 Ming troops do not occupy a large number and do not seek to advance. They will secure their positions and maximize their own advantages.
Although the layout has no bright spots, this situation makes Zhang He feel very comfortable.
Because as long as the Ming Dynasty is stable, the war will not break out completely. If the scale cannot rise, the Wu Dynasty's current investment will be enough to cope with it.
As far as the current situation is concerned, as long as Wu Dynasty and Ming Dynasty are not in a hurry, they can delay this advantage until early summer.
If the war really drags on to early summer, it will be of great benefit to the Wu and Ming dynasties.
The Ming Dynasty could deal with the Huaihe riots without any distractions, shrink the encirclement of the riots step by step, and solve the hidden dangers caused by the riots at the least cost.
The Wu Dynasty can sit firmly on the shore and promote internal reforms.
The only ones who are anxious are the Song people!
But what's the use of the Song people's eagerness? They can't break the Xuanwu turtle shell of the Ming Dynasty, and they can't break the cavalry charge of the Wu Dynasty. They are nothing but consumption.
Business needs circulation, and if circulation is slow, money cannot be transferred, and the financial path is blocked. It will not be affected for a while, but as time goes by, the Song Dynasty will be finished.
"It's time!"
"Why is it late?" Zhang He stood up and moved his stiff body, "Have the supplies on the river arrived?"
"Here we are, thirty-four sorties have arrived, and the speed is much faster than we thought!" the secretary said solemnly.
When we set off from the Beijing camp, we brought supplies with us, but the significance of the sleds being delivered was different. Let alone thirty-four, even if only one came, it would be the best guarantee for the morale of the military.
The biggest fear in a war is to lose logistics.
The soldiers and horses of the third battalion are all veterans, and everyone is worried about sending troops in winter. Under normal circumstances, relying on horse-drawn carriages for transportation will not arrive until noon the day after tomorrow at the earliest, and this is still under the condition that materials go first.
Now that the sled is coming, logistics are guaranteed. No matter how bad the situation is, at least the information flow is convenient.
"If you don't train for the next five days, all the original supplies will be consumed within five days!" Zhang He said solemnly.
Stable logistics will lead to stable people's hearts. Since the sled is required to be effective, start eating and building it, so that everyone understands that the sled is not an empty frame, and the supplies transported are not fake.
"In addition, let people prepare letters home and take them directly back on the sled return trip. Some people will not let us have a good New Year, but we have to live a good life ourselves!"
It is so heartbreaking to leave home at the end of the year. Material expenses will skyrocket, and spiritual care is even more needed.
Even though they were only away from home for a few days, the time to send troops was wrong.
"Understood, I will send orders to all camps now!"
After saying that, the clerk summoned someone and left the tent.
…
Bang bang bang!
At the end of the year, under the night, clouds of fireworks soared into the sky, illuminating Tai'an City with colorful lights.
Under the organization of the government, the annual celebration process was not greatly affected, and many people in Tai'an City came out of their homes to reset their mentality.
However, the number of people was much smaller after all. The streets were not deserted, but it had nothing to do with imagination.
"Master Fang, may you have a happy holiday."
At the gate of Fangshi, the mayor looked at Fangfang and his party approaching and said, "We are going out!"
After returning the favor, Fang Fang smiled and said, "It's the New Year, and it's not fun without my family around, but I still have to celebrate the New Year, so I won't just hang out after dinner!"
"It's time to go around, it's other people's business, and we are qualified for the year. The higher-ups issued a notice today, and the lock will be locked after midnight. You young people don't need to learn from us old people. You should do things when you should do things, and you should also play when you should play. I know how to play!" said the director with a smile.
On weekdays, there is no need to be reminded at the New Year's Eve. The mayor just opens and closes the door, but this year, in order to let people go out to play, the officials of Taiping City wanted to go bald.
"You are absolutely right. The year belongs to you, so take the first step!"
After a few pleasantries, there was no explanation of the equation.
This year is his second year in the foreign world of Kyushu, but he has just passed the first year. As for how warriors celebrate the New Year, Fang Fang is very curious. After having lunch in the manufacturing warehouse, he, like the children in the city, is waiting for nightfall. .
"It's up to you how to arrange the New Year's Eve. I don't know anything!"
After walking out of the alley and onto the main road, Fang Fang paused and asked directly.
"It depends on how you plan to play, whether you want to stay the night or not. If you want to stay, we will go directly to the lower reaches of the Xuanwu River and play all the way from south to north. After midnight, we will line up at Taipingguan to burn incense and have a morning meal. The plain noodles, let’s come back!”
"If we don't stay overnight, we will go directly to the Ice Palace where the Xuanwu River is interrupted. The main event of the celebration will be there!"
Li Yanting took out four wallets from his pocket and stuffed one into each person's hand, "This bag contains salary money. Tell me, Mr. yesterday. I exchanged it at Taipingguan this morning. If you want to spend anything, just use this salary money." convenient!"
Taking the wallet, he pulled out a coin with the word "lu" engraved on the front and a gourd painted on the back. Fang Fang weighed it in his hands and said, "This coin is of good workmanship!"
The status of Taiping Temple in the Wu Dynasty was the same as that of Xiangguo Temple and the Song Dynasty, both of which were royal temples.
Compared with the prosperity of Xiangguo Temple, the vicinity of Taiping Temple in Wu Dynasty seems a bit deserted. This may be the difference between Taoism and Buddhism.
But in terms of summary, except for the Liao Kingdom, which completely worshiped Buddhism, the other five countries all used faith as a tool.
Wu Dynasty's approach to this aspect is even more unique. It directly covers the military merit system and focuses on a Wu Dynasty that does not support idle people.
If you want to avoid responsibilities by becoming a monk, you can do it, but you won't get any corresponding benefits.
Therefore, the painting style of monks in the Wu Dynasty was very crooked, and the aura of being out of the world was not mentioned, but an evil aura was present.
Thinking of this, Equation couldn't help but laugh.
"Taipingguan, this is the only income a year. We can't do well with the salary money. What will they eat in the coming year?" Xiaohu stuffed his wallet into his pocket, "This salary money is 30 yuan, a pack of 50 pieces. , that’s one, two or five cents, even if you have to hand it over to the Ministry of Accounts, you’ll still make money no matter what!”
"It's only once a year. There's nothing wrong with everyone being lucky. But to be honest, Taipingguan's plain noodles are really good. I usually don't get up early if I want to eat. If you can hold on, sir, you can really try it. Once you taste it, you can see that the soup base is made from fresh products from the mountains. Except for the New Year season, when there is no limit, you have to grab it at other times!" Li Yannian said aloud.
Swimming in the Xuanwu River at night and having an early meal at Taiping have long been customary for the warriors during the Chinese New Year. If an elder in the family is buried in the Taiping Temple, a vegetarian meal after remarrying is a part of the New Year's Eve routine of countless warriors.
Few people are willing to go out to parade this year. If you want to find excitement, you have to go to Taipingguan.
"If you have nothing to do tomorrow, let's play all night tonight, but you have to make sure there are plenty of shows!"
Young people have to indulge.
As the old boss said, when you play, you should play, and when you do things, you should do them well. There is no one who doesn’t like excitement, and the same is true for equations.
Instead of lying in bed feeling sad, it is better to follow the footsteps of the warriors in the city and have a cheerful New Year's Eve.
