338 Ming and Song's Coping Methods

In addition, the Southern Song Dynasty was a newly established country, and the Song Taizu was caught with military and political money, with few corrupt officials, and the Southern Song Dynasty's fiscal revenue was surplus every year!

This is the surplus in a state of war!

This is the confidence that the Southern Song Dynasty was able to quickly arm a large number of Central Plains refugees and produce tens of thousands of comb rope guns per month!

Compared with the Ming Kingdom, which could only barely maintain 100,000 Revival Army, the Southern Song Dynasty was worthy of a rich country...

However, in order to prevent the green-skinned army, the rich country now has to start a confrontation mode of building fortresses everywhere, and it also needs to be equipped with a large number of mortars. This fiscal expenditure does not double and increase!

Moreover, the Greenskin Army was not destroyed for a day, and the fortress could not be stopped for a day!

It is precisely because this method is too expensive that Richard did not use it. Building fortresses everywhere is indeed very effective against green skin, because the green skin army is everywhere, and the cross-section of the march alone is more than 5 miles away, and it will definitely hit the fortress group head-on.

With Green Skin's temper, it is definitely impossible to take the initiative to detour, and Green Skin doesn't know where to detour...

This is different from a single big city. There are fortresses everywhere, and green warlords cannot find a good way out...

Therefore, we can only attack with force. It is not difficult to attack the fortress against the Greenskin army, but with the shooting of muskets and mortars, we are destined to suffer heavy casualties.

Green skin is not afraid of heavy casualties. That war was not the one with heavy casualties?

The most important thing is that it is meaningless to Greenskin to defeat a fortress, because there are more fortresses waiting for them in front...

Fortunately, the green-skinned orcs were very happy whenever there was a war, so they really hit the fortress group of the Southern Song Dynasty and attacked them little by little with stupid methods...

So, the hinterland of the rear of the Southern Song Dynasty was preserved!

What Richard of the Ming Dynasty only took the method of fully leveraging the advantages of the gold finger and saving money - using the advantageous cavalry to annihilate the green-skinned armies in the field!

As soon as this kind of fighting was released, the Southern Song court was very happy. Anyone with discerning eyes knew that the Ming Dynasty was playing a war of attrition with elite troops and green skins in the wild!

Why did the Southern Song Dynasty spend a lot of money to build a fortress group?

I just don’t want the little elite Song Jun’s possessions to be consumed by the green skin!

An Lushan's death is in front of everyone, and consuming the elite and green skin is a sign of defeat!

Therefore, after seeing the Ming Dynasty fighting with the elite cavalry and the Green Skin, even though the Ming Dynasty won many battles, the Southern Song Dynasty court was also happy.

In the eyes of the Southern Song Dynasty, the more victories the Ming Dynasty won, the more people they died. After all, the green-skinned orcs are fearless. The meaning of annihilation of them is different from the human army. All the green-skinned orcs must be killed to be considered annihilated!

This is also the reason why Richard was very satisfied when he saw the 1-6 loss ratio.

You should know that in the Greenskin army, there are also Greenskin Orcs, Greenskin Crazy Orcs and even Black Orcs. They pose a great threat to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. In fact, most of the deaths of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry are caused by these powerful Greenskin Orcs.

Otherwise, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry could easily play a 1-10 loss ratio!

Unfortunately, the Southern Song Dynasty court did not know that Richard's Western Liang cavalry could automatically replenish troops over time.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is an imperial-era military branch from the northwest region. The military buildings are naturally built in the northwest region. The supplementary Xiliang Iron Cavalry is not far from the front line, and you can go directly to the front line to meet with the large troops.

Of course, the consumption of green-skinned wilderness is not just based on the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, otherwise the Xiliang Iron Cavalry would have been exhausted before the time to replenish the troops...

The Revival Army also played a key role here.

The main force in the field battle was the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, while the Fuxing Army was responsible for guarding various city strongholds and stationing in towns.

Although the Greenskin Army does not attack strong fortresses and big cities with strong city defenses, small counties and towns will not let go. Otherwise, what will the Greenskin Army come in?

Armed march?

Most of the ordinary civilians in those counties and towns were migrated away, leaving behind local police and temporary young and strong militias.

The way of training cheap peasants and musketeers in the Southern Song Dynasty naturally also Mingguo used ordinary civilian arming as cannon fodder, which Richard used when he just rose!

After the Greenskin Army entered the territory of Ming Dynasty, Richard naturally would not miss the opportunity to fully mobilize civilians in front-line counties and towns.

Ordinary civilians in the rear may not be able to empathize with it, and it is difficult to be influenced by the imperial mobilization. Forced mobilization will backfire. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty also needed enough young and strong laborers to farm and produce in the rear.

But the residents of counties, towns and rural areas that are on the verge of the front line are not polite. Anyone with a suitable age at home must join the army to defend their country!

In the true sense of defending the country, the green army will immediately reach their hometown!

In order to prevent some timid and cowardly civilians from evading military service, during the migration process, Ming Dynasty only guarantees that the families of migrant soldiers must be all the families of young and strong of appropriate age who join the army!

As long as the conditions are met, the Ming court can bear the general migration costs and exempt each household from all taxes for one year!

If you avoid joining the army, there are only two ways.

The first is to migrate to the rear with your own expenses, and the second is to stay where you are waiting for the arrival of the green army...

The most important thing is that those who stay in their hometown cannot live in counties and towns with troops stationed in counties and towns, otherwise they will be requisitioned by local governments in counties and towns, which is no different from joining the army...

After joining the army, you can still receive a certain amount of military training, get a grenade and learn to use it, and there are methods to kill the enemy on the battlefield.

If you are requisitioned during wartime, you will be useless cannon fodder!

It is not difficult to stay in the countryside and hide from military service. After all, the Ming court has focused on resisting green skins on the front line, and there are not so many people to investigate the young and strong people in the wilderness and the countryside.

But when the green army comes, who can guarantee that he will not be caught?

A lonely human being does not have to encounter green-skinned orcs at all. Just a group of green-skinned goblins is enough to turn him into food...

Therefore, under the general trend of protecting family members and protecting their hometowns, 90% of the civilians on the front line chose to join the army with their whole family, and then received subsidies from the court and migrated collectively to the rear.

Under the ruthlessness of resisting the green skin, any opposition will be easily suppressed!

Even the most ignorant rural villager knows that there is no possibility of coexistence between humans and green skins...

The Ming court had no money to build a fortress group, but in this way, an elite pure cavalry unit was constantly annihilated a large number of Green Skin troops in the field, while the Fuxing Army relied on the cities of the county and town to protect the locals and fought with Green Skin to the end.

This method has not had high financial pressure on the Ming court, but it requires many people to die...
