Chapter 1106 The treatment of this non-Confucian official
After a while, all the people who were supposed to come came, and those who were supposed to leave also left.

The entire top decision-making team stayed by Zhao Tan's side. Everyone's face was bad, their brows were wrinkled, and their faces were helpless and frightened.

Zhao Tan sat on a chair and pressed his temples with his hands, trying to relieve his headache, but he couldn't relieve it anyway.

He looked calm, but he wasn't.

"Let's talk about it, what should I do? How can Xiangfan be saved? The [-]-strong army is gone, and now the court has no more army. The Ming army is going south on a large scale. Xiangfan is in danger, Jinghu is in danger, and Song Dynasty is in danger. When, how should it be?"

His slightly hoarse voice and anxious words seemed to indicate that he was not very stable.

But there are many people in the top decision-making team who are more panicked than him, but few are calmer than him.

But fortunately, Yu Yunwen was still calm.

Yu Yunwen, who was severely beaten and still had a nosebleed, immediately spoke up.

"Your Majesty, although Li Xianzhong was defeated, the Second Xiangfan City is still in the hands of our army, so the Ming army cannot abandon the Second City of Xiangfan and go south on a large scale, and the Second City of Xiangfan is still a barrier for the Song Dynasty.

As for the reinforcements, there are also [-] reinforcements from Sichuan and Sichuan. If they can reach the battlefield, plus the Xiangfan defenders, they will also have [-] troops, and most of them are elites from Sichuan and Sichuan, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. The current situation is not that bad. "

Zhao Tan was a little relieved when he said this, and then looked at Yu Yunwen's miserable appearance of nosebleeds, sighed, and asked the imperial doctor to come and deal with Yu Yunwen.

"Having said that, Li Xianzhong's entire army was annihilated, the Jiangnan three towns and the Lin'an Forbidden Army lost half of their strength, and the army that was finally pulled up suffered heavy losses. It was just one battle, just one battle! Could it be that Da Song's army is really that weak?

I spent millions of dollars to raise the army, spent a lot of material investment, gave them food and clothing, paid them military salaries, gave them weapons, and let them train. "

Zhao Tan was heartbroken, and his face was full of frustration.

"Your Majesty, compared to this, I think the most important issue is the new firearms of the Ming army."

Hu Quan, who was sitting beside him, rubbed his swollen face and said hurriedly: "The last message that Li Xianzhong sent back said that the Ming army had two new types of firearms, and the reason why he was defeated was that he could not fight against these two new types of firearms.

One kind of firearm can be used to destroy an army formation, and one kind of firearm can penetrate shields and armors. Li Xianzhong couldn't fight against it, and he was defeated and lost. He couldn't fight against it. In the current court, I'm afraid no one can. confrontation.

If Da Song didn't know how to fight this kind of firearm, no matter how many troops he had, he probably wouldn't be able to fight against the Ming army. After all, we couldn't expect every day to be rainy. "

"Firearms! Firearms again! Damn firearms again! Why are Ming's firearms so strong? Why can't they fight? I don't have firearms in Da Song? Does Da Song have no firearms that can be used? Why can't they fight against the Ming army?! "

Zhao Tan was in a hurry and smashed the tea bowl in his hand to the ground.

The ministers could not answer this question.

It seems that when the Ming army and the Jin Kingdom fought, they were very good at using firearms, and the Jin army suffered a lot from the firearms that the Ming army was good at.

After the Ming Kingdom replaced the Jin Kingdom, it went to war with the Song Army.

The Southern Song Dynasty court has always attached great importance to the research and development of firearms, so it attaches great importance to the fact that the Ming army has such powerful firearms, and constantly tries to improve the firearms of the Southern Song Dynasty, and has achieved certain results.

But after all, it cannot compete with the Ming army.

At that time, the firearms big rockets and Thor cannons of the Ming army gave the Song army a great shock. In siege warfare and water warfare, the Ming army used their good firearms to give the Song army a great threat.

The firearms of the big rocket and the Thor cannon can be produced in the Southern Song Dynasty. They look exactly the same from the outside, and the inside is similar, but for some reason, the power is much worse.

Officers and soldiers who have seen the power of Ming military firearms described that when the firearms exploded, the sound was very loud, the power was great, the fire group that exploded was large, and the air waves were even bigger. The light of fire competes with the sun and the moon.

Of course, this is a bit of an exaggeration, but that's what it means.

Later, some craftsmen also suggested that the problem might lie in the gunpowder of the Ming army. Maybe the Ming army had better gunpowder, so the power was so great, but it was difficult for them to get the gunpowder formula of the Ming army.

Occasionally, the firearms that the Ming army failed to explode were fished out of the water several times. When they opened it, the gunpowder was already soaked. Even if it was dried in the sun, it would not have the same effect as before, so it was difficult for them to reverse-track and imitate them.

The spies they sent to the Ming Kingdom never had access to anything related to the Ming army's firearms. The Ming army kept firearms very closely, and the society could hardly inquire about any firearms.

This made the Southern Song spies very strange.

All the recipes for firearms and gunpowder in the Southern Song Dynasty can be sold in Lin'an, but there is no news when they arrive in the Ming Kingdom?

As a result, the Southern Song Dynasty court was quite helpless, and only felt that the Ming military weapons were not too strong and could not dominate the trend of the war.

But they didn't expect the times to change this time.

This time, the new firearms of the Ming army can actually destroy an army formation at a time?
What a terrible firearm is that?

How can this resist the Ming army's attack?
Even truly capable senior officials in the highest decision-making circles are helpless when faced with this problem.

Li Xianzhong, the most capable of fighting, was defeated like a mountain in the face of the firearms of the Ming army. No matter how capable they were, they were not professional warfighters.

Even in the current Southern Song Dynasty, there is really no way for a general who is stronger and more famous than Li Xianzhong to fight - Chuanshu Wulin still has to stare at the northern Sichuan defense line and cannot be moved lightly.

Unless the court of the Southern Song Dynasty decided not to use Chuanshu, then it would probably be possible to order Wu Lin to leave Chuanshu to preside over the Xiangfan war.

But does Wu Lin have a way to face Ming's firearms?

Zhao Tan looked up to the sky and sighed, bemoaning his fate.

Seeing the helplessness of Emperor Zhao Tan, Chen Junqing, the minister of military affairs, suddenly became angry in his heart, and he immediately stood up and asked Ying.

"Although I am stupid, I have read a few military books, and have a little research on the military. I dare not say that he is better than Li Xianzhong, but he will still be able to defend the city. In the worst case, Xiangfan will not be protected, and the Ming army will flow down the river. Straight to Jiangnan.

Please lead troops to defend Luzhou and Anqing to prevent the Ming army from taking advantage of the situation to attack. If you can stop it, it will be given by Your Majesty Hongfu. "

Chen Junqing was once Zhang Jun's disciple, so he didn't dare to say how capable he was, but at least he was on a par with Zhang Jun in terms of integrity. Zhao Tan also knew this, so he still had some trust in Chen Junqing.

Under such circumstances, Chen Junqing took the initiative to request to lead troops to fight and go to the most dangerous place to face the Ming army's attack, but it gave Zhao Han a little more comfort in his heart.

However, is Chen Junqing's behavior an act of national salvation or an act of death?
This is indeed up for debate, it's hard to say.

Because everyone can be sure that Chen Junqing is not an opponent of the Ming army. The Ming army really wants to invade Huainan West Road and completely take the Jiangbei land without any effort. Chen Junqing can't stop it, and the court has no more troops to allocate Chen Junqing.

The three towns in the south of the Yangtze River are already short of troops, and there are only [-] garrison troops left in the Lin'an court, and the combat effectiveness is also in the state of Schrodinger.

Zhao Tan even felt that he no longer had a reliable general by his side, and even Yang Cunzhong, who stayed by Zhao Gou's side to protect Zhao Gou, was stronger than the generals in his hands.

Judging from the current situation, continuing to send troops out is tantamount to courting death, and this proposal was ultimately not approved.

Zhao Tan didn't know what to do anymore, so he could only re-appoint Zhou Linzhi's acting privy envoy under Ye Yiwen's suggestion. Yu Yunwen and Hu Quan continued to serve as privy envoys, and everything else remained the same without any changes.

There was a lot of protest from the ministers, but Zhao Tan scolded the court, and then said that he would appoint a few old guys to lead the troops out to resist the Ming army. The old guys were scared to death, and they kept saying [This is not the treatment of Confucian officials. ], and then quickly said that he was sick, and stayed behind closed doors.

Seeing this kind of behavior, Zhao Tan was angry, funny and chilling.

What is Confucianism treatment?

What is the treatment of Confucian officials?

I haven't heard of it and I don't understand it?

If someone dares to force you again, I will tie you up and throw them to the front line to fight, and see if you can use your mouth cannons to retreat from the enemy!
After Zhao Tan made such a statement, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty went out, for fear of being sent to the battlefield by the emperor to die, and then Zhao Tan confirmed one thing.

At the critical moment, there were very few people willing to die for him, and many people who wanted to live. Even though they all knew the policies of the Ming Dynasty and Su Yonglin's brutality, they still didn't dare to fight to the death when the enemy was at the moment. .

They don't have that courage at all, and would rather live than die.

His Song Dynasty might end up falling because of too many people like this.
