The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1470 The Red Lady Arrives
early january.

The ice and snow gradually melted.

The city of Changsha reproduces the continuous green hills.

Wen Tianxiang led hundreds of soldiers from Jianning Mansion to Changsha.Marshal, as the highest-ranking commander in the imperial army of the Great Song Dynasty, was appointed in front of Zhao Dongting every year.

Zhao Dongting also gave the highest military commander of the Song Dynasty and the most respected official of the Song Dynasty the courtesy he deserved.

Before Wen Tianxiang arrived in Changsha City, but after the messenger came to the city to report, Zhao Dongting put down all the affairs in his hands and led the imperial army to the east gate of Changsha.

If it is said who among the officials of the Great Song Dynasty is most respected by Zhao Dongting, it is not Lu Xiufu, nor Xiang Dongyang who died of overwork, it is definitely Wen Tianxiang.

During the Battle of Tanjin, Wen Tianxiang watched his mother and eldest son tortured to death by the Yuan army outside the city. Who can understand the pain?
Zhao Dongting had thought countless times that if it was him who was in Tanjin County, and Le Chan and other women were outside the city, he would definitely choose to leave the city and surrender.In the entire Song Dynasty, it was not he, the emperor, but the military commander Wen Tianxiang who valued this country and society the most, more than his life.

Wen Tianxiang really gave up everything for Da Song Sheji.

His family has almost sacrificed their lives for the country in successive years of war, and the fellow countrymen he brought out have also been killed and injured.

But even so, Wen Tianxiang didn't have the slightest intention to take credit for it.

When he led his own soldiers to the east gate of Changsha City, he saw Zhao Dongting wearing a dragon robe standing at the door, so he immediately got off his horse and ran to Zhao Dongting, saying, "Chen Wen Tianxiang kowtowed to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" !"

How much he loves Song Dynasty, so how loyal he is to Zhao Dongting.

Of course, if it weren't for this, Zhao Dongting would not have granted him a military order.More likely, this position will not be created at all.

Because of this position, it can even pose a threat to his throne.If Wen Tianxiang wants to rebel, not to mention that Zhao Dongting will definitely be dragged down, but it is absolutely unavoidable for the Great Song Dynasty to be on fire.

"Please call for the military order quickly."

Zhao Dongting hurriedly helped Wen Tianxiang up, very enthusiastically, "I've worked hard all the way, let's go, I've already held a banquet in the palace, and I'm going to have a few drinks with Jun Jiling today!"

Wen Tianxiang nodded without refusing.

And the soldiers under his command were entertained by Zhao Da, Ren Wei and others.

Zhao Dongting dragged Wen Tianxiang up to his own dragon and headed towards the palace.

Because Wen Tianxiang only came with hundreds of soldiers, this did not cause any commotion in Changsha City.

After arriving in the palace, Zhao Dongting and Wen Tianxiang had a banquet in the imperial study room, it looked like they were ordinary friends who had forgotten their year.

Zhao Dongting quietly listened to Wen Tianxiang's work report, describing the situation of the Xingguo Military Region the year before last, and the overall situation within the jurisdiction of the Xingguo Military Region.

The six forbidden troops under his command were stationed in Fujian Road and Jiangxi South Road respectively. Except for Tiansha and other troops who had been to Boni, they had never participated in other battles.

During this period of time, Wen Tianxiang had already filled up all the defenders in the cities. In addition, a lot of food and grass had been accumulated in the area under his jurisdiction.

After the report, Wen Tianxiang did not surprise Zhao Dongting and asked: "Your Majesty, when are you planning to attack the Yuan Dynasty?"

In recent years, Wen Tianxiang never took the initiative to seek war, but he was preparing for the overthrow of the Yuan Dynasty.In his heart, the Yuan Dynasty is not just a simple enemy.

Wen Tianxiang was the first-hand witness of the iron hooves of the Yuan Dynasty breaking through the soil of the Song Dynasty.His hatred for the Yuan Dynasty was probably the highest among the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty.

When Zhao Dongting heard his question, he didn't hesitate, and replied directly: "Next year."

Wen Tianxiang's eyes flickered brightly, "Are you going to attack Yuan when we gather food and grass next year?"

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly.

Wen Tianxiang asked again: "The emperor has a preliminary plan in mind at this time?"

"not yet."

Zhao Dongting shook his head slowly, and then said suddenly: "Military order, actually there are a few things I want to discuss with you."

Wen Tianxiang always abided by the etiquette of emperors and ministers in front of Zhao Dongting, and hurriedly said: "Please speak, Your Majesty."

Zhao Dongting said: "Now Liuqiu, Boni, Mayi and other countries all bow their heads to the Great Song Dynasty, and our Great Song Dynasty has the supreme status in the South China Sea area. Only the Wa Kingdom, we defeated it, and I abolished the Wa Kingdom Emperor System If you continue to use all the soldiers of the Wa Kingdom, I am worried that the Japanese Road Jiedu envoys sent will not be able to suppress the resistance in the country, but the two generals Ran Anguo and Huang Zhijie cannot always be stationed in the Wa Kingdom, so I want you to go back In the future, soldiers can be recruited in Fuzhou and other coastal areas to form a permanent Japanese army. The number does not need to be too many, [-] is enough, and they will be equipped with sophisticated warships and ordnance, so that they can deter the entire Japanese country."

"The minister leads the order."

Wen Tianxiang nodded.

Zhao Dongting held the wine glass, pondered for a while, and said: "There is one more thing, I... don't think too much, I just want to ask for your opinion."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"I have an idea to transfer you back to Changsha."

Wen Tianxiang was slightly surprised, "Dare to ask why the emperor suddenly has such an idea?"

Zhao Dongting said: "As a military order, you shouldn't just manage the Xingguo Military Region, you should control the whole country's army. I want you to come to Changsha, because I want you to start the matter of attacking Yuan. Moreover, it is also to let the soldiers of the whole country recognize you. Granted your position as a military commander. Although Deputy Commander Su is helping me manage the armies in the imperial city, he is only a deputy military commander after all. Most important matters still need to be ordered by me personally. This may not be a good thing .”

"Isn't it good for the emperor to control the military power of the whole country?" Wen Tianxiang asked very puzzled.

Zhao Dongting smiled, "For a king, it is of course a good thing to have the power of the general in your hands. But... you will understand the military plan in the future."

Seeing that Zhao Dongting was unwilling to elaborate, Wen Tianxiang's eyes became more suspicious, but he didn't ask any more questions.

He only said again: "The minister will go back to Changsha to serve, so who does the emperor plan to let take over the post of Marshal of the Xingguo Military Region?"

Zhao Dongting said: "Let's wait for Yue Peng and Su Quandang to come to Changsha, and then the cabinet of the Ministry of Military and Aircraft will discuss and decide. In the Great Song Dynasty, I can no longer make a speech by myself."

Wen Tianxiang was thoughtful when he heard this.

Then, after all, he promised Zhao Dongting that after the new Marshal of the Xingguo Military Region was elected, he would return to Changsha to serve.

This is the first time that Zhao Dongting has handed over the power to appoint and dismiss generals at the marshal level to the Cabinet of the Ministry of Military Aircraft.If nothing else, the Military Aircraft Provincial Cabinet will become the center of the Great Song Army after Zhao Dongting.

And just two days after Wen Tianxiang arrived in Changsha, the red lady in the Dongsha Islands also rushed to Changsha.

She came in such a hurry, not because of Zhao Dongting's imperial decree.It was a sentence Zhao Dongting asked the eunuch to bring to her.

Diabolo is still alive, and I have already sent him to serve in the Shuzhong Military Region.

This only makes Hong Niang want to put on her wings and fly to Changsha. If she hadn't had to deal with many things in the Dongsha Islands a few years ago, she would have arrived in Changsha long ago.

God knows how sad she was when she heard the news that Diabolo was seriously injured and died in the Dongsha Islands.

For so many years, Diabolo has always been quietly by her side, giving her support.Her heart has long been filled with the figure of diabolo.

Come to think of it, at the moment she received the news, Hong Niangzi even thought about going with the diabolo.That is to say, when you have children, you don't do that.

As for how sad she was at the beginning, she was probably as surprised when she heard the eunuch say that Diabolo was not dead.

After arriving in Changsha City, Hong Niangzi went directly to the palace to beg Zhao Dongting.

After seeing Zhao Dongting in the Imperial Study Room, she didn't even care about saluting, and just entered the room, she asked: "Your Majesty, he, is he really alive?"

Zhao Dongting smiled softly: "How could I lie to you, now he is already waiting for you in Jiading Mansion."

The red lady who was born as a pirate covered her mouth in a daze at this moment, weeping with joy.

When she calmed down a bit, she didn't even want to stay in Changsha for a while, and said directly: "Your Majesty, the minister will go to Jiading Mansion right now."

Zhao Dongting really didn't expect Hong Niangzi to be so impatient, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "That's fine."

He turned his head to look at Zhang Tingen, "Tingen, go to Yiren Palace and tell Princess Meiqingzi to prepare to go to Jiading with Hong Niangzi!"

Zhang Tingen led the order out of the imperial study.

The red lady didn't even know who Meiqingzi was, so she couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, who is Meiqingzi?"

Zhao Dongting smiled lightly and said, "It's Diabolo's real sister."

Then, it is necessary to talk about Mei Qingzi's previous encounters.If it wasn't for Diabolo leading the army to kill the Japanese country, it would be very difficult for the two brothers and sisters to charge forward in this lifetime.

Mei Qingzi had to stay in the Japanese palace as a canary for the rest of her life.

Probably Ai Wu Ji Wu, after listening to Zhao Dongting's words, Hong Niangzi already showed a bit of pity in her eyes.
