Chapter 185
"Father, it is not only weapons that are used to march and fight, but also the god arm crossbow and gunpowder cans are not omnipotent. It is okay to defend the city, but it is not very useful to attack the city and regain the lost ground.

The minister thought it was inappropriate to send the Zhongshun army to rescue him, so he asked his father to think again. "Song Yucheng ignored Shi Mingyuan and only stated his thoughts to the emperor.

The emperor looked at Song Yucheng and the other courtiers, and felt a little embarrassed. In all fairness, he also wanted to send the Zhongshun Army to rescue them.

The loyal and obedient army had strict discipline, bravery and unparalleled courage, and it happened that Bai Zongzheng was at the border again. He led the army and combined with those magical weapons, they were absolutely invincible.

But Song Yucheng's concerns were also right. Xiangfan was too important. If the Zhongshun army went to rescue Anfeng's army, Xiangfan would be empty of troops. If Jurchen killed them all, the consequences would be disastrous.

The emperor thought about it again and again, and then ordered that 2 people be transferred from the forbidden army, and then troops from Luzhou, Jiankang, Jizhou, Chizhou and other places will be deployed to rescue the Anfeng army.

Xiangyang Zhongshun Army and Chuzhou Wufeng Army stood firm to guard against Jurchen sneak attacks.

As soon as the emperor's decree came out, Shi Mingyuan and the others looked a little ugly. They underestimated the prince's ability, and also underestimated the prince's importance in the emperor's heart.

"Officials, it may not be easy to mobilize so many troops for reinforcements, there must be a person of high status to supervise, and the generals below will be slack.

The minister thought, how about letting An Guogong go?An Guogong is brave and familiar with military books, so he is the best candidate. "Shi Mingyuan hurriedly opened his mouth to suggest.

The Great Zhao Dynasty suppressed the warriors, strictly prevented the warriors from rebelling, and suppressed the generals in various ways.It is not surprising that military generals go out and civil servants take command.

Shi Mingyuan didn't propose to put An Guogong in command, he only said that he was to supervise the army, and the emperor naturally had no reason to disagree.

So the emperor hand-picked Zuo Qing, the commander of the Zhongrui Army in front of the imperial court, as the commander, and Song Yuhong, the Duke of An, as the supervisor of the army, and immediately ordered troops to go out.

At the same time, in several other places in the writing, they respectively dispatched troops to join forces with Jiankang to reinforce Anfeng's army.

The military situation was so hot that there was no delay, so the Zhongrui Army ordered troops to go out on the second day, marched all the way to Jiankang, and then joined other reinforcements from all walks of life, went straight to the Anfeng Army, and started a fierce battle with Jurchen.

At first, the two sides won and lost each other, and Da Zhao also regained two lost cities. After Jurchen reinforcements, Da Zhao lost, and lost cities one after another. Luzhou fell, and Jiankang was in danger.

The emperor was very angry when he heard the news, and he couldn't care about anything else at this time, so he could only order Bai Zongzheng to lead troops to rescue quickly.

The emperor decreed that Bai Zongzheng be named the Grand Marshal of the Army and Horses, to control the armies, and to have the right to mobilize the defenders from all over the country and make decisions on the fly.

In other words, no matter what Bai Zongzheng did was reasonable, as long as he could win the battle and repel the Jurchen army.

After receiving the order, Bai Zongzheng did not dare to be negligent, so he led the [-] loyal army, led Silang, Wulang, Liulang, and all the children of the Bai clan to Huainan West Road, and rushed to rescue.

The Zhongshun Army is brave and good at fighting. All of Bai Jiaerlang are highly skilled in martial arts and fearless of death.

Therefore, Bai Zongzheng led his troops to Jiankang, and won a complete victory in the first battle, severely injuring the Jurchen army, and took back Luzhou and several nearby cities.

The Zhongshun Army became famous in the first battle, and all of Bai Jiaerlang also made great contributions.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Jurchen's retreat, Bai Zongzheng reunited the various armies, gathered troops to raise food and grass, and then led the army northward, driving the Jurchen army back to the north bank of the Huaihe River.

At this time, Da Zhao can be said to have a strong army and a strong morale, and the situation is very good.

But at this time, there were different voices in the imperial court, and many people advocated accepting it as soon as it was good, and negotiating a peace truce with Jurchen.

"Damn it, I just don't understand, what are these people thinking?
Da Zhao has defeated the Jurchen army one after another, and has already pushed the Jurchen back to the north bank of the Huaihe River. Now that the morale of the army is high, they should take advantage of the victory to pursue and regain the lost ground. At this time, do you want to cease fighting and negotiate a peace?Are you all out of your mind? "

This day, Song Yucheng came to look for Bai Mengjin and said angrily.

On the second day of February, the crown prince canonization ceremony was held, followed by the marriage of Song Yucheng and Bai Mengjin.

Under the auspices of the Ministry of Rites, the four ceremonies of Nacai, Wenming, Najib and Nazheng went smoothly, and the two of them had officially settled on their names, and they were just waiting to get married in winter.

The border war was in full swing, and Song Yucheng, as the prince, could not be idle. The emperor ordered him to supervise the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, to build a magic arm crossbow, and mobilize food and grass to support the border war.

The gunpowder canister can't be used easily, and the god arm crossbow has no restrictions. Why don't you keep such sharp weapons?Of course, it is to be built as soon as possible and sent to the battlefield to show the Jurchens a little bit of color.

Song Yucheng supervised the Ministry of Industry, and Bai Mengjin had to be asked to help by him, in order to build weapons as soon as possible.

Bai Mengjin simply got out the soil machine tool. There is no electricity right now, so he uses a steam engine to drive the soil machine tool. Cutting, peeling, planing, etc. can all be done with one machine tool. The parts are assembled in one piece, and the speed is faster than manual labor. Dozens of times.

At this time, Da Zhao showed his ability to make money. Anyway, he was rich, but he threw it in vigorously, and batches of magic arm crossbows were sent to the border.

The Zhongshun Army took the main credit for the Zhao army's ability to turn the situation around so quickly, but the magic arm crossbow also contributed.

In addition to supervising the production of the God Arm Crossbow, the promotion of new crops such as corn and sweet potatoes also fell on the shoulders of Song Yucheng and Bai Mengjin. Bai Mengjin was also busy with the Pharmacy of the Imperial Medical Bureau, preparing various wound medicines and sending them to the border.

So these two people are also very busy and dizzy, even if they meet each other, it's good if they can talk a few words.

Today Song Yucheng was angry, so he simply dropped what he was doing and came to find Bai Mengjin, and the two of them went out for a stroll.

"I can see that this imperial court is rotten from the root.

All of them don't think about making progress but only know how to enjoy themselves, and live their lives dreaming and dying day by day. How many of them really think about the country and the country in their hearts? "

Song Yucheng was also out of breath, and his words revealed disappointment with the court.

"By the way, there is something I forgot to tell you. It seems that the officials are taking elixir." When mentioning this matter, Song Yucheng felt even more depressed.

"Well, I've known about this for a long time, and I've tried to persuade you, but it's useless." Bai Mengjin shook her head and sighed.

When she came back from the border, the queen found an opportunity to let her enter the palace and give the emperor a pulse.

The medicine that Bai Mengjin prepared for the queen was very effective after taking it, so I wanted Bai Mengjin to show the emperor to prepare some medicine to regulate her body.

At that time, Bai Mengjin discovered that the emperor had taken the elixir, and he had taken it for a long time.

Great Zhao valued Dao but not Buddha, and the emperors of all dynasties were very interested in seeking immortality and medicine.

Isn't the one who was taken captive to the North Kingdom still known as the Taoist Emperor?Both Zhenzong and Renzong died because of the poisoning of elixirs, so it is not surprising that Emperor Zhao took a lot of elixirs.

Why didn't this current one give birth to nine princes and fail to raise them?This reason is also indispensable.

The emperor took elixir, and when the concubine was pregnant, the fetus was congenitally deficient, and even if it was born, it would be difficult to raise it.

Bai Mengjin persuaded the emperor, and even prescribed a prescription for the emperor to recuperate his body, but the emperor has become addicted to pills, how can he quit easily?

Bai Mengjin tried her best to persuade him, but as for whether the emperor could listen, he could only say casually.
