The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1473
No matter what the result is, Wen Yuanli must do something to show the people of Jingjiang Mansion.

As an old man in the court, he also understands that if he fails to do anything as an official, it is a crime in itself.

As Wen Zheyan's elder brother, it can be said that he came to serve in Jingjiang Mansion with doubts. He needs to work harder than others and do more things in order to gain the trust of the people.

Time passed slowly.

Fast forward to mid-February.

The ice and snow outside Changsha City have all melted, and even a little impatient green shoots are about to emerge from the tops of the trees.

There is spring.

The new imperial examination in the first year of Dingchang also officially sounded the gongs and drums at this time.

Zhao Dongting appeared in Yuelu Academy on the first day of the imperial examination to cheer up the candidates.

Although there are imperial examinations every year, there are no such figures as champions and second places who can be known all over the world as soon as they win the exam.However, although these students born under the new type of education may be far inferior to the former champions and second place in terms of literary talent, debate, etc., when it comes to politics, they are by no means comparable to the former scholars.

The knowledge they have learned in the academy is too targeted.

And Yue Peng, Su Quandang, Liu Zhuwen, Liu Hongyi, and Shi Kaiji also rushed to Changsha a few days ago.

Because Northern Xinjiang is still confronting the Yuan army, they arrived in Changsha quietly this year, and they are no longer as noisy as in previous years.

Liu Hongyi was the last to arrive because of a slight delay because of Wen Zheyan and the others.

Before him, Yue Peng and others had already gone to Zhao Dongting to mention their duties.

Generally speaking, the Forbidden Army and Defenders of Song Dynasty now have a stable organizational system.

The Forbidden Army deservedly is still the main force of the Song Dynasty. Although it is deployed in various places, as long as there is a war, it can rush to the front line.

The garrison and defenders are the backbone.

With them, it can probably be guaranteed that nothing too turbulent will happen in the Song Dynasty.

In Xixia and northern Xinjiang, many soldiers of the forbidden army were killed.Nowadays, most of them are filled with soldiers selected from the garrison.

It can be said that Song Dynasty can deal with any battle at any time as long as it has sufficient logistical supplies.

After Liu Hongyi finished his work report in the Imperial Study, Zhao Dongting asked Zhang Polu to deliver an order to announce Su Quandang, Yue Peng and others into the Imperial Study.

Of course, there are also Su Liuyi, Zhong Jian and other ministers from the Ministry of Military Aircraft and the Ministry of War.

Even Zhang Jue, who retired as the deputy head of the cabinet of the Ministry of Military Aircraft, is also on the list.

This should be said to be the first time that all important members of the Great Song Military Aircraft Provincial Cabinet have gathered since its establishment.

After all the ministers arrived at De Yu's study room, they all saluted Zhao Dongting, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

Facing these faces that were too familiar, Zhao Dongting smiled all over his face, "Excuse me, dear ones."

Then they asked Zhang Polu to give seats to Wen Tianxiang and others.

These people here are the backbone of the Great Song Army.Except for Zhong Jian, everyone else has made great contributions in the confrontation between the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, Dali and other countries.

After everyone was seated, Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "Today, all the cabinet ministers of the Great Song Military Aircraft Province have arrived. I announce that you are here because I have two matters to discuss with you."

As he spoke, he looked at Wen Tianxiang, "First of all, I intend to let Jun Ji Ling return to Changsha to take charge of major military affairs with Deputy Su Jun Ji Ling. The military Ji Ling has already agreed to this matter, and now I want to ask for your opinions , Do you think, among the generals under the jurisdiction of the Xingguo Military Region, who is the most suitable to take over the post of Marshal of the Xingguo Military Region?"

After speaking, he waved to Zhang Polu.

Zhang Polu took the pen and ink he had prepared earlier and handed them to Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Jue and others in turn.

Zhao Dongting said: "All you have to do is write down your favorite candidate on paper."

Apart from the fact that Wen Tianxiang already knew about this matter and hurriedly wrote, Zhang Jue, Yue Peng and the others were all thinking a little bit.

They just found out about this, so naturally they haven't thought about who is the most suitable to take over the post of Marshal of the Xingguo Military Region.

And this matter can definitely be said to be of great importance to Da Song.

After all, the marshals of the major military regions can be said to be one of the people with the highest real power in the Song Dynasty.

While everyone was thinking about it, Zhao Dongting slowly talked about the second matter, "As for the second matter, it is about attacking the Yuan Dynasty. It has been more than ten years since Naozhou, and now our Song Dynasty Finally, I have the strength to stand against the Yuan Dynasty. I have allowed them to bully me for so many years, and it is time to compete with them. I intend to launch an attack on the Yuan Dynasty next year. Before that, all the marshals have already told me about the current situation of the various military regions. Case."

"We have 40 imperial troops in the Great Song Dynasty. Among them, the imperial army with the land characters needs to conquer the South China Sea and the Wa Kingdom. I am afraid that they will not be able to participate in the battle to attack the Yuan Dynasty. Now I also want to discuss with you. Once an attack is launched against the Yuan Dynasty, the major military regions can at most No matter how many troops to send, the Yuan Dynasty now has Shenlong guns, projectiles, etc., which cannot be underestimated. If we don't do our best, it will not be so easy to defeat them. According to my opinion, if necessary, each It would be good if the garrison of the main palace should join the battle."

When he said these words, the speed of speech was extremely slow.The words were not long, but a few minutes passed from the beginning to the end.

At this time, Yue Peng and others also wrote down the name of the person who they thought was most suitable to take over the post of marshal of the Xingguo Military Region on paper.

Zhang Polu took back the papers one by one and put them on the desk in front of Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting read them one by one with a smile.

Then his eyes swept across everyone's faces, and he said in surprise: "Could it be that all the loves have already discussed this matter before coming to this imperial study?"

Yue Peng heard the words and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, could it be that we all wrote Huang Hua's comforter?"

Zhao Dongting nodded, and said: "Since everyone thinks that Huang Hua's appeasement envoy is the most suitable for the post of Marshal of the Xingguo Military Region, then this matter is settled like this."

He was really a little surprised, he didn't expect Yue Peng and the others to have the same opinion on this matter.But it also made him feel more at ease.

He himself also tended to let Huang Hua take over the position of Marshal of the Xingguo Military Region. Now that Su Liuyi, Zhang Jue, and Yue Peng all thought so, then this appointment should not be wrong.

Huang Hua needs ability, ability, qualifications, and prestige. He should be able to be the marshal of the Xingguo Military Region.

He pushed the paper aside, and said: "Then, let's discuss the second matter!"

After speaking, she turned her head to look at Zhang Tingen, "Tingen, serve tea."

He does not intend to wrap up this first meeting of the military ministry's cabinet anytime soon.In Zhao Dongting's mind, the significance of this matter is even greater than the matter of the marshal of the Xingguo Military Region.

He wants to make the Ministry of Military Aircraft Cabinet deliberations the norm.

Zhang Tingen went out of the house.

No one in the room spoke in a hurry.

Zhao Dongting also let them ponder, until Zhang Tingen came in with tea, he said to Yue Peng: "Yue Peng, you speak first!"

Yue Peng cupped his hands to Zhao Dongting and said, "Your Majesty, our Xianglong Military Region is ready to go to war with the Yuan Dynasty. Right now we are occupying the three states of Dengzhou, Tangzhou, and Caizhou, and we only need your order. The garrison troops of Xiangyang Mansion, Kuizhou Mansion and Changde Mansion can all be put into the front line of northern Xinjiang. On Nanjing Road, the six forbidden troops of our Xianglong Military Region can go straight to Kaifeng Mansion, while the Yuan Army on Jingzhaofu Road has Xiangyang and Kuizhou , Changde and the three prefectures have a total of [-] garrisons, which should be more than enough to defeat the Yuan army. Even if the front line fails, we can still mobilize the garrisons of the cities. I have urged the garrisons of the cities to practice more diligently over the years, although they are not as good as the garrisons , Forbidden Army, but they will never be weaker than the Yuan Army when they are pulled on the battlefield."

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, turned his head to look at Su Quandang, "Su Quandang, where is your Jiankang military region?"

In the north of the Song Dynasty, the Jiankang Military Region and the Xianglong Military Region were the most and the Yuan Dynasty bear the brunt.Therefore, he asked Yue Peng and Su Quandang first.

Su Quandang also cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, although our Jiankang Military Region only occupies the land of Sizhou, since the war with the Yuan Dynasty, the six forbidden troops under my command have been stationed around the cities around Jiankang Mansion. I thought that if there was a war, I could lead the army and Marshal Yue to break open the Kaifeng Mansion together. Then there are Jiankang Mansion and Lin'an Mansion garrison soldiers who can attack Shandong East Road along the coastal road. It just depends on how much troops the Yuan Dynasty is willing to use to deal with it. In short , I believe that our Great Song Dynasty is not afraid of fighting now. There are more than one million soldiers in the garrison, garrison and forbidden army all over the country, and I am very confident in fighting the Yuan Dynasty."
