Zhao Bingyan strongly praised Lu Xiufu for taking precautions and being thoughtful. Tell him that next year is still a long way off, so you should focus on the present first.
Not only do we need to pay the people who work, but we also need to pay all the military generals. However, the salary of the officials in the government must be reduced. After the court pays the salary to each official who works, there will be no one to support whom, and there will be no retainers. Servant.
He said confidently: "As long as we conquer Annan and live in Shenglong Prefecture, where we need food and money, Prime Minister Lu doesn't have to worry."
Zhang Shijie saw that Zhao Bingyan spoke easily, as if Annan had already obtained it. He said cautiously: "The small matter of marching into Annapolis needs to be considered in the long term."
Wen Tianxiang said with great enthusiasm: "Brothers working together can break through metal. I believe the King of Han, if we work hard for a long time, we will definitely succeed."
The four of them raised their glasses and raised their heads.
When he went back, Zhao Bingyan saw a gentle woman coming into the house. When he saw Zhao Bingyan, he immediately came forward and saluted her.
It turned out that it was Zhu Jingyi, the righteous daughter of Eunuch Zhu, who was specially appointed by the Empress Dowager Yang Shufei to take care of the King of Han's daily life.
Immortal Banban, the Queen Mother is here to send him the girl from the intercourse.
To be precise, they sent someone to monitor him.
He refused again and again and told the girl to go back.
Zhu Jingyi covered her face and sobbed, crying that the King of Han looked down on her and her father would sell her to Tianshui Lane.
As for me, Cheng Lin next to me already had a frosty look on her face.
Zhao Bingyan told him not to cry, so Manager Zhu was reluctant to send his daughter to Tianshui Lane.
From today onwards, she will go to the study room of Prince Han’s Mansion, and the first thing she will do is to summon her father, Eunuch Zhu, to tell her something.
After Zhu Jingyi left, he took out one hundred taels of gold and gave it to Cheng Lin and said: "The two heroes deigned to condescend to be the special envoys of Li Mu Mountain but received no salary. Xiaosheng will give you some silver as payment for travel expenses."
Guo Xiang grabbed it, weighed it, and said with satisfaction: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. My aunt is very tight these days, so take it."
Then he invited Cheng Lin to the backyard.
Later, Eunuch Zhu arrived.
After asking for the information, Zhao Bingyan severely criticized Eunuch Zhu, scolding him for not doing enough to protect the palace, so that the knights could enter and leave the palace at will. The queen mother's safety was not guaranteed, so where was the majesty of the Song Dynasty.
Eunuch Zhu was trembling with fear.
He asked Eunuch Zhu to go back and select people to strengthen the palace guard. All the open and secret sentries around the palace should be arranged, and no more unprovoked people would be allowed to break into the palace.
Zhao Bingyan recalled that the Yuan Dynasty sent people to instigate Shengli on Li Mu Mountain, and believed that the enemy would definitely infiltrate important departments of the army in the future. He asked Eunuch Zhu to keep an eye on it, especially the troops equipped with rocket launchers and 60-guns, which must be strengthened. .
After Eunuch Zhu left in fear, he began to consider forming his own guard and training the new army's special forces.
Zhao Bingyan formed a thirty-man guard for himself and asked Zhang Shijie to select a special operations company from the entire army and train it himself.
As soon as the personnel arrived, he rushed into the military camp to practice.
His guard has ten Type 56 assault rifles, and three of them use 38-gai equipped with scopes. The 38-gai has a long range and high accuracy. It is very effective for long-distance sniping after adding a scope.
The rest of the personnel all use the old twenty-ring.
Zhao Bingyan's training for the Guards focuses on commanding operations and examining organizational discipline and loyalty. In the future, they will be transferred to the grassroots ranks to serve as officers.
As for the programming of the special operations company, it is much more complicated.
He assigned each person a Type 56 assault rifle, a Daheixing pistol, a rocket launcher for each squad, and a three rocket launcher for the company, as well as twelve 60 mortars. Artillery platoon.
In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops, a baggage platoon was specially assigned to this company to provide logistics support.
Zhao Bingyan was practicing in the military camp. Guo Xiang and Cheng Lin had returned from naturalization in Li Mu Mountain. They heard Zhu Jingyi say that he went to the military camp to train and was bored.
Guo Xiang rolled his eyes and said, "Let's go visit the camp tonight and see how that guy trains his troops?"
Cheng Lin said with a worried look on her face that she must not do it. Xiao Zhu said that his soldiers all used muskets and it would be dangerous if there was a misunderstanding.
Guo Xiang thought about it for a while, and it was the same.
That day on Limu Mountain, Zhao Bingyan shot and killed the thieves one by one. She thought she could not escape. The two of them sat in front of the window in a daze, feeling that the world was boring.
In the palace, Queen Mother Yang Shufei was jealous when she heard that Guo Xiang and the others had moved into Zhao Bingyan's mansion as soon as they came back, and hurriedly summoned Lu Xiufu to arrange accommodation for the two special envoys.
Lu Xiufu thought that they were all Zhao Bingyan's friends in the world, and it was okay to stay there for a short time. He was puzzled and asked the Queen Mother in confusion why?
Concubine Yang Shu said displeasedly: "The Ai family heard that the King of Han married a girl from Li Mu Mountain. She, the Queen Mother, didn't know about such a big event. Now these two female officials are living in the King of Han's Mansion. It's very inconvenient. It disturbs the King of Han's daily life. Delaying national affairs."
Lu Xiufu finally understood. The Queen Mother was dissatisfied with the King of Han's marrying a wife without asking for permission. Two beautiful girls lived in the palace. If one day another girl comes and marries her, that's fine.
Lu Xiufu immediately received the order and went to the official room to make arrangements.
In Dadu, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty in the north, Emperor Hu exhausted all his strength on Xiang Fei and asked the eunuchs to wrap the woman tightly in a cold quilt and carry her away. He dressed neatly and continued to review the memorials.
The war to annihilate the Song Dynasty in the south was full of twists and turns. Zhang Hongfan's man reported twice that he was about to completely wipe out the Song Dynasty. He captured the Song Emperor's Queen Mother Yang and offered him as a prisoner. Suddenly, he reported that the Southern Song Dynasty had received the protection of Zhuge Immortal and had a large number of advanced firearms. There are also Zhuge Divine Cannons weighing tens of thousands of kilograms to attack the city. It's really hell.
After Emperor Hu read the report, he learned that the Song army had produced a Han king named Zhao Bingyan. Zhuge Immortal accepted this Han king as his disciple and gave him artillery weapons to fight against the Yuan Dynasty and to restore the Song Dynasty. Hum.
Emperor Hu didn't believe in ghosts and gods. He thought everything was just a lie made up to fool him because of the unfavorable battle below.
"Yes, the south is thousands of miles away from Dadu. It is impossible for me to visit the battlefield in person. These unscrupulous Han ministers dare to bully me."
Emperor Hu snorted coldly, thought for a moment, then waved his pen and gave an order to Boyan, the commander-in-chief of his Southern Expedition: Order him to organize warships and troops from the south to wipe out the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty within three months.
After receiving the imperial edict, Boyan immediately rushed to Jingjiang Mansion and showed Emperor Hu's approval to Zhang Hongfan.
When Zhang Hongfan saw that Emperor Hu did not give him instructions, he severely criticized Boyan, knowing that the emperor was angry and wanted to deal with him.
The man said helplessly: "It is absolutely impossible to destroy the Song army in March. Besides, there are frequent monster winds on the sea now, and it is difficult to wait for the right time to cross the sea."
He asked his personal guards to present a 38-meter cap smashed into five pieces and a set of broken uniforms of the Guards soldiers of the Song Dynasty for Boyan to take a look at. Although the firearm accessories and military uniforms that Boyan saw were seriously damaged, they were also obviously damaged. Extremely sophisticated.
He secretly admired it and was curious about which country these equipment came from?
Zhang Hongfan told Boyan that the Guards of the Song Dynasty still had artillery, and the shells were all shot. When a shell exploded, there was nothing intact within a radius of three feet.
Boyan touched the broken gun and said helplessly: "The emperor doesn't know the situation here. Send these to the capital eight hundred miles away. We'd better hurry up and prepare for war."
Zhao Bingyan selected Qian Shipan, the captain of the guard, and Zhou Yu, the commander of the special operations company, personally led the emergency training. After one month, the team's appearance took on a new look.
On this day, as soon as he returned from field training with the guards, Zhu Jingyi came to the military camp to find him. The Queen Mother had an order to go to the palace as soon as possible to attend the court meeting.
Zhao Bingyan handed over the subjects for continued training and returned to the palace. Concubine Yang Shu was happy to see him in high spirits. He complained that he only knew how to train soldiers and forgot about her, the sister of the Ai family.
Zhao Bingyan heard something strange. He felt like his wife was acting coquettishly for the man.
Before he could think about it carefully, Lu Xiufu spoke.
Prime Minister Lu told him: Businessmen from Leizhou want to buy our instant noodles. One pack of noodles is exchanged for three kilograms of rice. Some businessmen are willing to exchange three and a half kilograms of rice. We use instant noodles to exchange for the urgently needed rice?
Zhao Bingyan glared at Lu Xiufu and said, "No, there is no need to worry about the exchange of instant noodles among the people. It would be bad if the imperial court trades in large quantities with the Tatars."
Concubine Yang Shu asked him blankly why, a pack of noodles could be exchanged for three and a half kilograms of rice, so why didn't he make a living by making a lot of money?
He said: "The Queen Mother does not know that the instant noodles were given to us by Prime Minister Zhuge as a relief food. The soldiers took it with them on marches and fought. It can be eaten as long as it is brewed with boiling water. It is convenient and fast. If it flows into the Tatar military camp, it will be unreasonable." It becomes an enemy."
