Everyone is against Lu Xiufu, don't panic if you have money, what should we, the lackeys, do? Are we really going to do what the King of Han said and wait for the King of Han to come and kill us with a spear?
Concubine Yang Shu saw that everyone wanted to have some money in their hands, so she shouted: "Hand out, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, officials, generals and ordinary people will all pay."
Zhao Bingyan proposed that officials and generals should be given fifty guan of money, soldiers should be given one month's pay, and all common people should be given one month's expenses, which made everyone happy.
Everyone is happy, and all the ministers in the meeting hall seconded the proposal.
Concubine Yang Shu laughed and said that's all. What else do you want to discuss?
Zhang Shijie's class launched a memorial, proposing the Northern Expedition to the Yuan Army to regain lost territory.
Zhao Bingyan immediately went out to oppose it. He believed that the Song army currently only occupied most of Leizhou's land south of Suixi, and its strength was seriously insufficient. The soldiers were very tired from the long-term battle and needed to rest. They also had to monitor and prepare for the enemy troops from the north to move south, so it was not appropriate to send troops to the Northern Expedition.
However, the generals and officials who followed Zhang Shijie went out to support the general's Northern Expedition one by one, and their plausive sophistry made Zhao Bingyan unhappy.
This time, he decided not to make any concessions.
He asked these people: "What are the benefits of the Northern Expedition? General Zhang's last Northern Expedition resulted in numerous casualties. When he retreated to Naozhou, there were less than 10,000 soldiers including wounded soldiers. When I went to the island, I could not even gather 5,000 soldiers. The Northern Expedition is To give heads to the Yuan army?"
The two lieutenants shouted aggressively: "What does the King of Han mean? Are you questioning the general's command of the army?"
These people have made the point. They also hope that Zhang Shijie will be in charge of the army and continue to ride on the soldiers and subordinates in a majestic manner to show off his power.
Zhao Bingyan said coldly: "The general's loyalty and loyalty to the country can be learned from the world. As for how to command the battle, all the ministers can see clearly."
The meaning of this sentence is to affirm that Zhang Shijie is dedicated to serving the country, but it is up to everyone to judge his ability. Zhang Shijie has suffered repeated defeats in the past two years, and his commanding ability must be too poor. And Zhao Bingyan has not lost since he came on the field, so he naturally makes a decisive decision.
There were people in the meeting hall who praised Zhang Shijie, and there were also people who were whispering and discussing in private. Zhang Shijie was already blushing with anger.
Wen Tianxiang was worried about changes and suggested that the matter be postponed for further discussion.
Zhao Bingyan once again warned that the north was not yet stable. He wanted to lead his troops north to stabilize the Jiuzhou River defense line and ensure that the court would have a stable life for at least a month to rest and recuperate.
The Queen Mother immediately played it accurately.
He summoned Liu Shiyong in court to lead troops to garrison Leizhou and listen to the Queen Mother's orders to ensure the safety of the temporary trip.
Liu Shiyong hesitated for a moment, then knelt down on one leg and saluted: "The last general respects your order."
Concubine Yang Shu felt happy when she heard Zhao Bingyan's care, and announced the departure of the court with a cheerful face.
As soon as Zhao Bingyan returned to the mansion, the young eunuch rushed over and invited him to come to Concubine Yang Shu. The woman happily held the small pistol and said, "Bingyan is here. Come and tell the Ai family how to play with guns. They are so scary today."
Zhao Bingyan was amused for a while. This woman asked the emperor to give her two sons and she said she didn't know how to play with guns. She was pretending to be stupid.
He stepped forward to remind him that the pistol must not be pointed at his own people. If a fire breaks out accidentally, someone will die.
Yang Shufei leaned next to him in surprise and stuck out her tongue.
Zhao Bingyan opened the safety and taught her how to use it. The Queen Mother obediently asked him to hold her little hand, pull the trigger and shoot in the yard. After firing two magazines, the Queen Mother was able to shoot skillfully.
He left a box of bullets and said: "You have to protect your life by yourself. If this gun is used properly, the gods will walk around."
Concubine Yang Shu couldn't help but nod her head happily.
At this time, Eunuch Zhu came back and reported Wang Jien's criminal facts in detail. When Concubine Yang Shu heard this, she realized that all the cases were serious cases. She gritted her teeth and said, "I never expected that guy to be so greedy."
He believed that there were many officials like Wang Jien, and suggested that the Queen Mother should issue an order for them to surrender, and the court would give them a lighter punishment. He could not arrest and kill them all, as that would have too much impact.
Concubine Yang Shu immediately said yes, and she asked Eunuch Zhu to go out and tell the truth.
Zhao Bingyan told Eunuch Zhu: The imperial court is currently out of strength, so it is better to go to Annan to temporarily avoid the Yuan army, and let the Imperial City Department send people to Qiongzhou to collect intelligence first.
After Eunuch Zhu left, Nanny Liu immediately laid out the dishes and the two of them went to the table to eat.
Yang Shufei enthusiastically served him some food.
Zhao Bingyan no longer felt any fear, and he ate generously as if he were the Queen Mother's younger brother.
Concubine Yang Shu asked him if he really wanted to go to Annan. His ministers would not like it.
"As long as the Queen Mother supports us," he said.
Zhao Bingyan patiently advised her that the Yuan army was too strong and powerful, and the court had to take a period of time to recuperate and train new troops before it would have the strength to confront the Yuan army head-on. Otherwise, even with the help of Zhuge Immortal, there will be countless casualties and people's strength will be exhausted.
That kind of victory was not what Ben would have hoped for.
He said: "The palace in Annan must be more beautiful than this Leizhou City. Doesn't the Queen Mother want to live there for a year and a half?"
Concubine Yang Shu's childlike innocence was aroused by Zhao Bingyan, and she said cheerfully: "Shan, the Ai family will go to Annan to have a look."
Zhao Bingyan told her that it was not just a simple look, I wanted to bring Annan back and make it a palace of the Song Dynasty.
Concubine Yang Shu raised her eyebrows with joy, looked at him with wide eyes and said, "I see, Brother Bingyan already had an idea?"
He said confidently: "Of course, we, the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty, traveled to Annan with a lot of travel and travel. How can we do it without gaining anything?"
Yang Shufei was so happy that she listened to him with a smile.
The next day, he left Fang Rixing to continue recruiting troops, and took the new army to Suixi for training.
Wang Bao saw tens of thousands of troops coming, and he ambitiously said that the Song army could completely capture the Jiuzhou River defense line and launch the Northern Expedition against the Tatars.
Zhao Bingyan rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's okay, that's okay. Those soldiers who have just learned how to fire a gun will die who knows how many times. They really are not your biological brothers."
Wang Bao immediately lost his temper.
He said: The three battalion commanders were promoted to one level on the spot, acting as regimental commander, and the brothers below were promoted accordingly. They brought all the troops to the front line for training. Actual combat is the best teacher. Only after training can you become a serious regimental commander.
All the generals immediately shouted: "Promise."
Zhao Bingyan handed Zhang Qi dozens of pages of handwritten pages and asked him to take them with him. This is a military book edited by Mr. Zhuge. I picked up the most important ones and gave them to you.
The generals were filled with ecstasy and surrounded him one after another.
He took out a simplified word comparison table and handed it over. Why are you so anxious? There is also a font comparison table here. If you don’t have this thing, you won’t be able to read Zhuge Tianshu.
The generals crowded their heads together and read Zhuge Tianshu nervously and excitedly.
In fact, it was a training manual for new recruits in later generations. He picked up the important ones and left them for his brothers to train, quickly forming a new army.
Zhao Bingyan pulled Zhou Fu out and asked him to accompany him around the camp.
Zhou Fu was as anxious as a cat to go back and study the Zhuge Tianshu. He laughed and said that Zhang Qi and the others had not translated it yet, so it would be useless for Brother Zhou to go back.
He asked Zhou Fu if he knew about the Guandu battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period, and whether Cao Cao raided Wuchao to cut off the enemy's food routes? He had to prepare two loyal guides every week to take him to the armory and grain depot of the Yuan army, and he had to personally burn the enemy's grain and grass.
Zhou Fu's heart tightened and he said: "It's too dangerous, what can we do? Let me go."
Zhao Bingyan shook his head and said that he could not go. If he was discovered and could not escape, it would also expose our army's intention to attract Ali Hague's counterattack.
"The general is worried about the safety of the King of Han." Zhou Fu said anxiously.
Zhao Bingyan told Zhou Fu not to tell anyone, as he was the safest.
He guarded the New Army training in Suixi for five days. After making proper arrangements, he headed north under the protection of two guides. That night he approached Wushiba, the Yuan army's frontline grain and grass base. Guide A told him that grain and grass were transported along the river, and Wushiba The dam extends in all directions and can be transported to various places where the Tatars garrisoned troops.
Zhao Bingyan asked the pollen elves to accurately mark the coordinates, and the three of them crossed Wushiba and continued northward, arriving at Miaowakou two days later.
Guide B said that he had been here before. In the past, this was the food and grass gathering place for the entire Jiuzhou River garrison.
Zhao Bingyan picked up his telescope and looked around. Sure enough, many warehouses had been built, and teams of grain transport vehicles were busy coming in and out.
He handed the binoculars to the two guides and told them to learn to use them. They would all have them in the future.
The two scouts picked up their binoculars and took a look. The granary and the soldiers inside suddenly appeared in front of them, and they were so frightened that they almost dropped their binoculars.
Zhao Bingyan caught it with quick eyes and hands, and seriously criticized the two of them. A person's shadow is so frightening. It's the bodyguard Zhou Fu chose for me. It seems that I want to protect you two.
