At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 186 Just ask how to lose

"Your Majesty, Guan Chen (Tang Yongqin), pays homage to your Majesty. Long live my emperor."

"No courtesy, stay on your own terms." Zhao Shi said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two stood up.

Guan Dajigong was promoted to the defense envoy of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the commander of the navy, and Tang Yongqin was able to be the commander because of his good bombardment.

"Casting cannons, remodeling warships, and training soldiers have cost countless dollars. Is it possible to go to war now?" Zhao Shi asked.

Guan Da replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, even if we fight against the current, we will definitely annihilate the Yuanlu Navy."

"In that case, the whole army sets off." Zhao pointed to the west and said: "I will sit back and wait for the good news. I hope you will report on the victory of Ezhou and Xiangyang."

"I will live up to your Majesty's expectations." After paying homage again, Guan Da left the city, boarded a ship, and led the army westward.

On the river, there were densely packed warships, including [-] large ships and [-] small boats, accompanied by [-] soldiers.

Taking turns paddling and rowing, we soon arrived at Baishazhou.

Jiang Zheng was in the village, and after the group exchanged pleasantries, they immediately got to the point.

"Everyone, if the guns and cannons are leaked, the Yuan Dynasty will definitely imitate them in large numbers. Before that, the two lakes must be restored. If there is spare power, Sichuan will be conquered." Jiang Zheng emphasized the goal of the campaign and added: "To restore the two lakes, the Yangtze River is the key. Now the water When the divisions meet, who will be the main general?"

Guan Dadao: "Brother Chen is familiar with hydrology and can be the chief general."

"I don't know about muskets and artillery, but Brother Guan has been trained for a long time and is considered a general." Chen Baitiao said.

In fact, he was not the only one, many generals were confused.

Everyone is using guns and cannons. There is nothing unusual about iron guns and stone cannons. Now that we are going to war over this... we have to fight after all. Even if we feel sick because of the thought of Tartars peeing and urinating upstream, we can still fight.

"The first step in water warfare is sailing, and hydrology is the most critical. Brother Chen, please don't be humble." Guan Da was still modest.

"Don't argue." Jiang Zheng said: "Guan Chen is the leader, and Chen Baitiao is the deputy. We will work together to defeat the Yuanlu Navy, and we will jointly report our achievements."

"The last general takes orders." The two agreed.

Next, everyone discussed the details, and there was absolutely no abnormality in Jiang Cheng.

In Jiankang Mansion, Zhao Shi personally waited by the river and received Jiang Wanzai.

Old, thin, and sleeping.

Zhao Shi couldn't help but shed tears and said: "I thought that I ran away to Lin'an, thanks to the protection of the grand master. Later, the Yuan captives chased me and fought in Wuzhou. The grand master personally cut off the enemy's rear and stopped the enemy. Jiang Yu died for his country."

Now that he is critically ill, Jiang Zheng, Jiang Yao, and Jiang Zongjie are unable to serve his left and right sides due to state affairs, so I should serve as my son and nephew at the bedside. "

Jiang Wanzai had four sons. The eldest son Jiang Yao followed Jiang Yu to guard Guangxi. The second Jiang Zheng took over as the general manager of Jiangxi. He wanted to command the battle between the two lakes and could not leave. The adopted son Jiang Zongjie was with the two lakes. The third son Jiang Ming and the consort Du Wei Yang Zhen died trying to lure his pursuers, and his fourth son Jiang Yu died in battle in Wuzhou. At this time, only his nephew Jiang Tong was accompanying him.

Jiang Tong bowed and said, "Your Majesty should give top priority to state affairs, and I should take good care of you."

Zhao Shi said: "If there is no Jiang family, how can there be Zhao family? For the survival of the country, no one has contributed more than the Grand Master. It is natural for me to fulfill my filial piety."

The three ancients of the Jiang family, Jiang Wanli named Guxin, and Jiang Wanqing named Guya, all died for their country. Only Jiang Wanzai, named Gushan, fought east and west, protected the two kings from Lin'an, and recovered Fujian and Jiangxi.

Nowadays, people are sick due to overwork, and there is no medicine or stone to cure them. The country's main city is indeed in ruins.

After escorting Jiang Wanzai into the city, Zhao Shi stayed outside the ward, serving soup and medicine as if he were his nephew.

Within two days, Chen Yizhong arrived and asked the emperor to return to Lin'an.

"Lin'an is warm and conducive to the imperial master's recuperation. Your Majesty, please think twice." Chen Yizhong advised. "The grand master is in critical condition and cannot be moved lightly." Zhao Shi objected, and then said: "I have been thinking about it recently. The grand master has been running around all his life, but he did not leave any property before his death. Isn't this the court's meanness?
If the two lakes are restored and the country is generally stable, can important ministers be allowed to serve in the country? "

Chen Yizhong was stunned, obviously he didn't expect the emperor's thinking to be so fast.

"As the Jiang family grows, people inside and outside the government are worried about the appearance of powerful officials. If the Jiang family establishes a country, it may stop Youyou's mouth.

If Yue Fei died unjustly and Han Shizhong did not talk about war in his later years, wouldn't a loyal minister and a good general die a happy death? "

The emperor seemed to be talking to himself, but it hit Chen Yixin like a heavy hammer.

Why don't you go there?

In addition to unfulfilled ambitions, it is not just to enjoy the pleasure of power.

But even if you become prime minister, you are still a wage earner, which is not as exciting as being your own boss.

"I think we should set up a retirement system and abdicate when we reach old age. The size of the fiefdom will be determined according to the level of official position. Then the court will provide money and food, and we will recruit soldiers and civilians on our own. What do you think?" Zhao Shi asked.

Chen Yizhong replied: "Your Majesty is so kind, how dare you die if you don't obey?"

Unspoken.

If you can't retire smoothly, don't talk about the fiefdom. If you have a bad reputation when you are an official, it is useless to have a fiefdom but not recruit people.

This is a good system that benefits the country, the people, and ourselves. The question is whether officials can be released when there is a shortage of talents. Another problem is that some people become Jinshi at the age of 20, and some people only become Jinshi at the age of [-] or [-]. The same The retirement age is not appropriate.

Unconsciously, Chen Yizhong forgot his mission to persuade the emperor to return to Lin'an.

The emperor thought of the retirement system due to the critical illness of the senator, and the prime minister thought of changing the imperial examination system from the retirement system, both of which deviated from the current theme.

Zhenjin did not forget his mission. After receiving the news of the large-scale gathering of Song troops, he immediately gathered the generals to discuss countermeasures.

"The Song army has gathered in large numbers and will surely invade in the near future. What are your countermeasures?" Zhenjin asked.

"It's just a fight to the death." Ali Hague was the first to express his position.

Simple and crude, full of complaints.

The imperial examination, equality, and real gold calmed the hearts of the southerners, but because they treated everyone equally, both the Mongolian and the northern soldiers were included.

Therefore, the nail in Liling cannot be pulled out. Guiyang and other places cannot push back and can only passively defend.

Zhenjin didn't care about Ali Hague's attitude, because they would not delay the military plane because of this trivial matter, so he said to himself: "The military morale is available, and each department should make good use of it."

"I obey your orders." All the generals responded.

Zhenjin asked Zhang Yu again: "Is the Navy confident of defending against the enemy?"

"At this time, there is a strong north wind. The weather is with us. We are in the upper reaches. The terrain is favorable to me. Your Highness treats the soldiers well. The morale is high. Harmony is also with us. Our army has two thousand ships, more than the Song army. Jiang Wanzai Due to critical illness, Jiang Zheng temporarily took over the entire army, and the generals were unfamiliar. However, our army has been practicing for a long time, and everyone is united.

The weather, the right place, the right people, and the right people are all in place. Furthermore, if we use more people to defeat the few, defending the enemy from the outside is not what we want, and we will definitely defeat it. " Zhang Yu replied.

"After the Song army is defeated, the navy can go down the river and launch attacks along the river to regain the lost ground." Liu Guojie added.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, this battle will be worry-free." He Wei said: "Since ancient times, no one has won by using troops against the current. Now the king's army is full of fighting spirit. If the Song army doesn't come, it will be over. If it comes, it will die!"

"Good!" Zhenjin smiled while stroking his palms, and said: "The people of Song Dynasty did not know the time of heaven and started provocations rashly, and they will never come back.

When the Song Navy is defeated and we take advantage of the momentum to advance, you can feel proud and proud. At that time, Father Khan will also give you a reward, so you should work hard. "

It’s no wonder that the Yuan army was full of confidence. The time, place and people were all right, and there were many warships and people. How could they lose?
