Chapter 149
"...Occupying the city and disobeying the king's will, hiding the traitors, is tantamount to conspiracy. Ling Fangju has made meritorious service in the conquest, and is bestowed upon Uncle Huang..."

"I accept the imperial edict, thank you for my emperor's favor." Ling Fangju accepted the appointment respectfully.

When the court gets rich and he gets promoted, everyone is happy.

The most important thing is that the emperor not only did not blame him for being provocative, but instead issued additional orders and took the blame.

There was no way, there were too many brought back, and the court unanimously agreed that the reward should be given.

"Congratulations to Uncle Huang."

"The tiger father has no dogs, congratulations."

"My dear nephew, I have a niece who would be a good match. Why don't you get to know her?"

"Quiet!" Peng Zhenlong shouted and drove the minister back who was trying to establish a relationship.

Ling Fangju was feeling complacent, but now he became serious and did not dare to distract him.

At court meeting.

After everyone calmed down, Zhao Shi asked: "Uncle Huang Huang, can we conquer the city again?"

The court immediately quieted down, and everyone stared at Ling Fangju, even Lu Xiufu, who was always dignified.

In fact, when I got closer, I could smell the faint smell of wine on Lu Xiufu. Just last night, I saw the first batch of gold and silver brought back by Ling Fangju. Lu Xiufu opened the wine given by the emperor during the New Year.

happy.

One has to go.

Along the way, Ma Tingluan had asked him no less than a hundred times, and Ling Fangju replied tirelessly: "Your Majesty, all the savings from the 60 years of occupying the city have been brought back, and it is not worth conquering.

However, there are many countries in the southeast, such as the Chen Dynasty of South Vietnam, Chenla, Srivijaya, etc., all of which have long heritage and extensive accumulation. "

"Your Majesty!" Chen Yizhong immediately came out and said: "Under Pu Tian, ​​is it the land of the king? On the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers? The barbarians from the southeast do not come to pay tribute. This is really contempt for the emperor and disrespectful. Please send troops to attack them."

"I second the proposal." Zhao Yukun said: "Countries seeking to be kings and hegemons, dominating and bringing blessings are actually traitors and should be punished."

"It's the emperor's order to crusade against the ministers who don't! Your Majesty, please issue an edict to send troops." Chen Wenlong bowed.

Look, there are many good reasons, even if we don’t send troops.

Red eyes.

Originally, 2000 people in 60 boats went to catch the thieves, but in the end, they confiscated the savings of [-] years of occupying the city, and only suffered more than ten casualties. Is there anything more profitable than this?

No more, really no more.

Of course, the state of etiquette in the upper kingdom of the heavens will never do robbery and ignore His Majesty's face. The reason for sending troops must be because of the disobedience of the countries.

It is the duty of the emperor to combat rebellion.

Zhao Shi was not so secretive and asked: "Which of the southeastern countries does Uncle Huang think is the best to attack?"

Ling Fangju replied: "Your Majesty, Chen Yu of Nanyue usurped the throne to replace Li without orders. He is actually a rebellious traitor. Please send troops to attack him!"

"What do you think?" Zhao Shi asked.

Didn't say anything, done it!

The Chen Dynasty was founded for 50 years, which does not seem to have occupied the city for a long time. However, his family took over the throne through political means and there was no large-scale rebellion, so most of the Li Dynasty's wealth was retained.

After taking office, Chen Xuan worked hard to manage the country in an orderly manner, and the success was evident.

It’s okay if you haven’t tasted the sweetness. Everyone can’t bear to look down on it. Now they’ve got the upper hand. Don’t worry about Li Chao and Chen Chao. Let’s do it later.

"Draft an imperial edict, add Lingfang to recruit generals to conquer the south, patrol envoys from various countries in the South China Sea, and use the emperor's festival to conquer non-subordinates. In addition, the imperial edict orders Chen Yi to fully cooperate."

"I obey the imperial edict." All ministers bowed down.

Then, the Zhengshitang immediately drafted an edict, on the one hand to authorize Ling Fangju, and on the other hand to issue rewards to the soldiers who captured the city.

All in all, it was full of energy from top to bottom.

In Dadu, Kublai Khan held the memorial in his hands, his face as sinking as water.Visibly unpleasant.

Underneath, many ministers were like quails, not daring to breathe out.

"Last year, I didn't take it seriously when the King's division lost troops and generals. It was probably because there were thunders from the sky in the Southern Dynasty, which could not be defeated by human forces. It was really not a crime of war."

Ba~ Kublai Khan photographed the memorial on the dragon case and asked: "However, in two battles this year, Zhang Rongshi's eight thousand troops were wiped out, and Liu Guojie'erha lost Poyang Lake. Is this still not a crime of war?"

Kublai Khan had not taken the little emperor seriously all this time, because the Yuan Dynasty was really big and had countless elite soldiers and generals, so some setbacks were insignificant.

He believed that as long as Tianlei was dealt with, the small imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty could be taken down easily.

The result...a slap in the face.

The pain doesn't really hurt, it's just a little bit high.

The officials knew that Kublai Khan was upset, but they didn't know what he was thinking, so they didn't dare to say anything.

King Tuobo Hulu Tuhua of Jiangzhou, who was ordered to return to the capital to report on his duties, suddenly thought about it and said: "Qiu Khan, last year the king's army was repeatedly defeated by thunder, and all the generals felt aggrieved. This year, they won the victory." Lei, ecstatic and eager for revenge, underestimated the enemy and fell into the Southerners' trick.

After losing two battles today, everyone above and below must be alert. As long as they do not underestimate the enemy, the southern soldiers are not worth mentioning, and the Khan does not need to get angry. "

Show off your presence to put yourself in a different place.

Sichuan has been torn back and forth, and the real ten houses and nine empty houses are now empty. There are now more bones in the ground than weeds in Jiangzhou, and even grazing is difficult. Tuobo Hulu Tuhua has long wanted to change his land.

Kublai Khan waved his hand to Tuobo Hulu Tuhua and said, "Liu Guojie underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly. He reduced the rank of general and other generals in the town, stripped off the golden tiger talisman, and reduced him to a thousand households. He obeyed in front of the army and made meritorious deeds.

Ha'erha, the chief general, could not abide by his duties, so he took away all his positions and was sent to the vanguard camp.

Zhang Rong died in the battle, and some officials discussed the posthumous gift. Zhang Yu was ordered to attack Huaiyuan as the general, with ten thousand households, and command all the naval forces in the Jiangnan province. "

After dealing with the three parties involved in a few words, Kublai Khan said again: "Li Heng came to advise and send an envoy to Lin'an. What do you think?"

"I think it is impossible." Liu Mengyan, the former prime minister of the Song Dynasty and now the imperial minister of the Yuan Dynasty and the Minister of Rites, said: "The Song Dynasty has been destroyed, and the remnants took advantage of the spread of the plague to steal Lin'an. It is not an orthodox political power and cannot be used as envoys. Of."

The implication is that Song Ting and Yuan Ting are not equal.

"Hey~ But I don't want Nanchen to be so virtuous and ashamed to be in the same hall!" There was a sneer in the hall, but there was no response.

The surrendered ministers of the Song Dynasty did not dare and had the shame to be verbose, but the Northern minister thought that this was not said.

Kublai Khan also pretended not to hear and said: "There is a saying among the people that the young emperor of the Song Dynasty has a destiny, so he has constant ideas. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty." Yao Shu said: "The destiny is determined by the will of the people.

When the Song Dynasty first established Wenzhou, it took over the powerful world and distributed it to the people. Therefore, the people gathered together, the soldiers served to the death, and they were willing to fight even when the plague was raging. This was destiny.

On the other hand, the king's army underestimated the northern general and ignored the southern general, so some of Fan Wenhu's troops mutinied and many surrendered to the enemy.

In addition, military discipline was corrupted, officials were corrupt, and the people suffered a lot of harm. They either fled south, banded together as bandits to resist the government troops, or stayed dormant to support the southern army. Therefore, the king's divisions suffered many defeats while the southern army often won.

The minister thought that he could send envoys to see how Nanting divided the land and win people's hearts, and ordered all places in the south of the Yangtze River to implement it as usual.

This matter is of great importance and cannot be presided over by anyone other than a noble person. I would like to send the prince to the south, so that he can share the worries of the emperor and make achievements, so that he can inherit the throne a hundred years later.

I think back when the Holy Majesty was still in Qiandi, there were many battles. First he defeated the Song army in Henan, then settled in Yunnan, and then attacked Ezhou. Although there were occasional setbacks, his prestige was growing day by day.

Although the crown prince is now established, he has no great achievements and has many dissatisfactions both internally and externally. His Majesty Fu Wei is aware of this. "

Boyan also said this before he went north, but Kublai Khan didn't pay attention. When he heard it, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

The key is whether to give the prince a chance to get involved in military power.

If this kind of thing is not handled well, Li Shimin at the least and Yang Guang at the worst are not good choices.

However, Kublai Khan thought about it and felt that he was not better than Yang Jian and Li Yuan at 01:30, and Jiangnan really needed someone who could control the Mongolian and Han officials, and he also needed to give the prince some credit, so he agreed.

At this time, Zhenjin was in Tubo, and it would take some time to get back, so he just sent someone to Lin'an to investigate the situation.

After arranging for the crown prince, Kublai Khan said again: "Jiangnan can be defended, but Chongqing and Tongzhou cannot be delayed. The order is given to clear the two places before four months."
