If Wang Mang was just taking office, Wang Mang summoned 420,000 troops from the whole country.

Then the number of this army is basically 420,000.

Because everyone supports Wang Mang, there is no need to slander.

But it was different in the final stage of the collapse of the dynasty. The social contradictions of the entire dynasty have reached an irreconcilable level.

Moreover, this dynasty was shaky, and everyone knew that Wang Mang was going to be finished.

At this time, who would have been willing to work hard for Wang Mang with ambitious generals and local commanders?

People are watching the fire from the other side of the river, wanting to see how things develop.

Therefore, Wang Mang summoned 420,000 troops from all over the country to attack Emperor Gengshi Liu Xuan, but how many people actually followed Wang Mang's orders to Wancheng?

That's only a maximum of more than 100,000!

More than one hundred thousand troops actually talk too much.

Think about it, how did Sun Chuanting die in the final battle between Chongzhen and Li Zicheng?

That is, many armies are unwilling to obey the command of the dynasty. If you ask them to surround Li Zicheng, these generals actually led their troops and ran away.

What can you do?"

…………

When Chongzhen heard this, he was so depressed that he was extremely depressed.

I have really become the negative textbook in the group.

He now understands the social environment and complex human nature at the end of the dynasty.

You cannot regard all periods of the feudal dynasty as exactly the same.

At least at the end of the dynasty, the deterrence of imperial power was completely different from the early dynasty.

Hanging the southeast branch (the purest tyrant):

“What else do you say this time?

Wang Mang recruited 420,000 troops from all over the country, can 420,000 people really come?

If so many people could really come, Chongzhen would have to cry and faint in the toilet.

If Li Zicheng was attacking the capital, Chongzhen's millions of troops could obey Chongzhen's call and quickly ran back to encircle Li Zicheng.

Then Li Zicheng had long been eliminated by Chongzhen!

So, if you don’t look at the historical environment and analyze practical problems, you are playing hooligans.”

……………………

Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of Han and others were very satisfied with Chongzhen's performance at this moment, although Chongzhen was still the stupid and cute.

But Chongzhen had gradually separated from the Confucian system.

Begin to acknowledge the complexity of human nature.

I began to learn to analyze practical problems and think about problems in multiple dimensions.

This is a manifestation of progress, and it is worthwhile to cultivate and revitalize them for so long.

The Great Qin True Dragon:

"Do you still think Chen Tong is talking nonsense now?"

…………

Song Huizong swallowed his saliva with difficulty because this principle was so easy to understand.

At the end of each dynasty, the imperial power was extremely weak, and even Cao Cao used the emperor to command the princes.

The emperor became a cattle and sheep that could be slaughtered.

He couldn't even refute Chen Tong now, but he was extremely unwilling to accept it.

The most beautiful thin gold body:

"I admit that what you said is good. Even if Wang Mang recruited 420,000 people, he would not have that many people arrived."

"But it is not as outrageous as Chen Tong said. Why did only 10,000 people fight Liu Xiu in the end?"

"How do you calculate this?"

…………

At this moment, Zhu Di, Yue Fei, and Chongzhen understand that people are thinking about this issue.

I thought to myself, how should I explain this?

But before they could figure it out, Chen Tong had already announced the answer.

Chen Tong:

"Didn't I tell you that Wang Mang is recruiting troops across the country.

What is the concept of the country?

Then you have to calculate the time when each army arrives at the designated battlefield.

One is in the northeast, one is in the northwest, one is in the southeast, and the other is right in front of Wancheng. Do you think the time they arrive at the designated battlefield is the same?

It's simply different!

Then some people must have arrived at the battlefield first, while others arrived one after another.

And what are the first people to arrive at the battlefield?

According to reliable historical records, there are only 40,000 to 50,000 people.

This explains why Wang Mang's main force did not go to rescue Wancheng first, but had to gather near Kunyang first.

Because it was impossible for his army of 40,000 to 50,000 to fight against Liu Yan's army of more than 100,000 head-on.

He had to meet in one place and assemble a large army.

Do you understand?"

……………………

Zhu Di laughed loudly, this is exactly his profession.

Kill your ten clans (the heroic lord in the prosperous era):

“This is reasonable!

Without Wang Mang's army being assembled, it was impossible for them to attack Liu Yan in Wancheng.

Running to Wancheng is simply to die.

I just said that in order to highlight how awesome Liu Xiu is, all the generals who led the troops were fools.

How could these generals of Wang Mang’s army be as mentally retarded as written in the Book of Later Scholars?

Their troops have not been fully assembled, so why did they lead 40,000 to 50,000 people to fight against Liu Yan's army head-on?

These people even arranged the people, saying that they didn’t know how to lead the army and fight?

Those who really don’t know how to lead the army and fight are the bragging people.”

……………………

The emperors in the chat group nodded one after another, and this explanation was the most reasonable.

But Song Huizong was embarrassed, and Wang Mang's army was reduced from tens of thousands to fifty or sixty thousand?

If you continue like this, how many more will it be?

As a person who has never led troops to fight, how could he understand military common sense?

So I immediately objected.

The most beautiful thin gold body:

“Does it take so long to assemble?”

"Didn't the army immediately appear there?"

"Isn't it?"

……………………

It's your uncle!

Yue Fei was always full of black lines. He finally understood why the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was so stupid?

In love, you know nothing about military common sense.

bristle:

“Are you the legendary genius who draws straight lines on a map?

In the eyes of you who don’t understand military affairs, do soldiers not have to walk?
