When Empress Dowager Xie heard this, does that mean that she still has a little vitality in the Southern Song Dynasty? This is really God help me, God help me, I've been waiting for a long, long time, he Kublai Khan also has today?

"Jia Aiqing, tell the mourning family quickly, what is going on? Why.... Why is this the case? Do I have a chance to mess with them?"

Jia Rudao thought for a while and said: "Queen Mother, Weichen already has an idea, that is, to send people to various places in Dayuan, and then release the news, saying that Kublai Khan has been hit hard and his life is not long, I don't know how they will react."

"I think that whether it is the descendants of Genghis Khan or not, as long as they have a certain strength in the Yuan army, it seems that they are not willing to give up this opportunity, they will definitely come to Suzhou, and at that time, there will be civil strife.

The more Empress Dowager Xie listened, the more excited she became, he felt that things seemed to be developing in the direction he was expecting, and now that everything was done, all he needed was the east wind.

If this succeeds and the Yuan army breaks out into a civil war, this is good news, although it is possible that war may break out in the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty, but Empress Dowager Xie does not mind this.

"Jia Aiqing, I heard your analysis just now, the mourning family feels very, very reasonable, and has this hope, so the mourning family is looking forward to it, you can handle this matter." Empress Dowager Xie feels that her body has recovered a lot, and he Kublai Khan is not as strong as an iron bucket, otherwise how would the Southern Song Dynasty soldiers hurt him?

Jia Rudao received the order, got up and handed it over, "Queen Mother, since this is the case, this matter will be handed over to Weichen, and Weichen dares to guarantee that this matter must be dealt with, otherwise it will be handed over." ”

Empress Dowager Xie nodded, the uneasiness in her heart finally disappeared, and she finally breathed a long sigh at this moment, but the vague worry did not completely dissipate.

"In short, Jia Aiqing, the body of the mourning family is not as good as a day, and a year is not as good as a year, you have to work hard, the success or failure of my Southern Song Dynasty is only today.

"In addition, the recruitment of soldiers and the supply of food, we dare not fall behind at all, we can't continue to delay, and we can't delay urgently, when Kublai Khan leads the team to besiege, even if he doesn't attack, we can starve to death."

"It's the Queen Mother, these things Weichen know what to do, and they all know how to protect the Great Song Dynasty." Speaking of this, Jia Rudao had an idea, "Queen Mother, what Weichen thinks is, I have time now, why can't I increase the height of the city tower a little, I am afraid that he Kublai Khan will attack the city with a ladder at that time." ”

Heightened castle towers? Empress Dowager Xie thought of the four city towers in Lin'an, which is hundreds of miles down, which is a big project.

"Jia Aiqing, let's say it's your opinion, tell me what kind of elevation method is currently available, and the mourning family also wants to know."

Jia Rudao commanded, "Back to the Queen Mother, at present, the gate of the city in this circle of my Lin'an is fifteen meters high, if you don't use the power of tools, then Kublai Khan's people will naturally not be able to enter." "But once that day comes, Wei Chen knows that they will climb with a ladder, then this fifteen-meter-high city tower is estimated to be without any difficulty, if we wait to increase all the city towers to thirty meters, then will they increase a lot of difficulty?" Empress Dowager Xie had already thought of that scene in her mind, this may be a good note, although the method is stupid, but there should be no other way.

"Jia Aiqing, since that's the case, then you can continue to talk about it, continue to analyze and analyze." "Queen Mother, do you know why Xiangyang can't be attacked for a long time? Or is it because Wei Chen has raised the entire tower by five meters, and it is only five meters, they are so difficult to attack, if it becomes thirty meters, wouldn't it be even more difficult?"

"I, a soldier of the Southern Song Dynasty, just need to stand on the city tower and push the ladder down continuously, almost one by one."

Empress Dowager Xie thinks this method is good, it is a good opportunity, and she can only do it at present.

"Jia Aiqing, since this is the case, how about the mourning family hand over this matter to you? As long as you are willing to do things well, even if I am not inferior to Kublai Khan in the Southern Song Dynasty, I can still hold this city. ”

Jia Yidao continued, "Queen Mother, all this must be built under the condition that the city gate is strong enough, otherwise, what else is there to say? If Kublai Khan crashed into it with a few blows, then there would be no need to increase the height of the tower. ”

Empress Dowager Xie sighed, she simply handed over all the things to Jia Nidao to do, and her energy told her that she had more than enough heart and not enough strength.

The two chatted for a long time, and then Jia Rudao finally left, he had to do things perfectly now, otherwise it would be worse than the end of the day.

Looking at the back of the other party's departure, Empress Dowager Xie sighed and said: "Jia Aiqing, now you are the hope of the entire Southern Song Dynasty, you can't have anything, you must not, otherwise, the Great Song Dynasty will be ruined."

Jia Yidao quickly returned to the barracks, and then gathered all the deputy generals Miao and all the lieutenants together, he planned to explain the matter, and then immediately do it. "Ladies and gentlemen, now Jia Ye and I mean that the city gate will be strengthened immediately and replaced with a stronger one, and at the same time, the city tower will be increased by fifteen meters to become thirty meters, what do you think?"

Vice General Miao sighed, "Master Jia, it is understandable to strengthen the city, but the amount of work in the city tower is a bit large, and I am afraid that it will be too late at all."

Jia Rudao whispered, "Isn't there still seven months left?" I believe it should not be difficult for us to arrange all the soldiers to work, and at the same time to find people to buy all kinds of stones. ”

So they nodded and agreed, and they all did it, Jia Rudao was the commander-in-chief, and the eight months were getting earlier and earlier day by day, and the more preparation there was, the more the guarantee, and at the same time, he also planned to quietly dig a tunnel from the palace, if he really couldn't hold it, he could only escape.

After explaining all this, Jia Rudao came to the palace with a hundred people, and he had to discuss this matter with Empress Dowager Xie.

"The Queen Mother, about the city tower and the city tower, in fact, Wei Chen has already done it, the reason why I came here at this moment is actually to tell the Queen Mother, and I hope that the Queen Mother will be gracious.

Empress Dowager Xie said: "Jia Aiqing, since this is the case, then you can say it, talk about it, see what it is, as long as it is beneficial to me in the Southern Song Dynasty, the mourning family will all agree and will not refuse."

Jia Rudao said: "Back to the Queen Mother, in fact, there is nothing else important, it's just that Weichen hopes to dig a tunnel to the outside world in the Queen Mother's bedroom, at least directly outside Lin'an City."

Empress Dowager Xie felt that this was a good idea, assuming, assuming that Lin'an really couldn't hold on, he Kublai Khan attacked, and he could escape through the tunnel.

Although the rivers and mountains of the Southern Song Dynasty have been lost, the royal bloodline is still there, and they will have the opportunity to start over in the future.

"Jia Aiqing, your proposal is very good, very, very good, the mourning family is very satisfied, the mourning family only hopes that you can do this matter quickly.

"However, you can explain the matter in more detail, the mourning family believes that as long as it reaches a certain special period, this tunnel can still save our lives."

Jia Rudao was silent for a while, "Back to the Queen Mother, this matter is very simple, that is, dig a tunnel directly in a certain dormitory of your residence, so that others can't find it at all, even if they find out, we have an absolute chance to escape, don't you say?" At the same time, in these tunnels, we can also set up a lot of mazes, completely confuse the people of Jia Nidao, let them go in, they can't find it at all, and they can also get a lot of mechanisms, hehe, the queen mother, as long as he is not a god, it is estimated that he will not succeed. ”

Empress Dowager Xie is very satisfied with this, absolutely and absolutely satisfied, as long as she succeeds, it will be the capital to escape.

"Jia Aiqing, since this is the case, the mourning family has allowed you, but the mourning family wants to know, when will you excavate? The mourners can't wait, they can't wait to know what this tunnel will look like. ”

"This.... In fact, today Weichen has already brought hundreds of people here, as long as the Queen Mother gives an order, Weichen immediately ordered them to start, after all, I am waiting for more and more time. ”

Of course, Empress Dowager Xie will not refuse, and she is not willing to delay, in seven months, if she works hard, it is entirely possible to dig out the palace chassis.

"Jia Aiqing, what you said, the mourning family agreed, but I hope you can act immediately, so that we also have a chance to succeed, don't you say?

Jia Rudao clapped his hands, and Vice General Miao walked by in the distance, "My lord, I don't know what you command."

In front of Empress Dowager Xie, Vice General Miao did not dare to call him Jia Ye.

Jia Rudao said: "Vice General Miao, you arrange a hundred people to dig a tunnel in the Queen Mother's house from today, anyway, Jia Ye, my requirements are not high, within seven months, you must pass through the outside world, especially outside the palace, can you agree?"

The latter responded, not daring to refuse.

"It's Jia Ye, my subordinates will take their subordinates to act now, but Jia Ye, I still need the Queen Mother to choose a position.

Empress Dowager Xie shook her head, "There is no need to choose, just find a hidden corner in the house, provided that it is not easy to find." ”

Vice General Miao took the order and led the people out, he quickly chose the address, and the next moment there was a clanging sound.

"Jia Aiqing, thanks to your attention just now, if it weren't for you, hehe, I wouldn't have thought that there would be such a great idea, if this Kublai Khan called, the mourning family wouldn't know what to do."

"Although we are not necessarily going to die yet, there is nothing wrong with preparing for the worst, don't you say?"

Jia Rudao said: "The Queen Mother is serious, as a people, naturally the first to protect the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Even if Lin'an falls, we will escape, but there is a chance to counterattack, right?"

Empress Dowager Xie nodded, she naturally knew this, and naturally prepared for the worst.

Jia Rudao chatted with Empress Dowager Xie for a long time, and then finally left, returned to the barracks with Vice General Miao, and the two entered the house.

"Master Jia, my subordinates think that since this palace can dig tunnels, why can't we? If that day comes, won't I have to run to the palace and escape?"

Jia Rudao is enlightened, this question has been forgotten by him, and he has a thought at this moment. "Vice General Miao, you also bring a hundred people in, and we also have to dig a tunnel, not to mention more, we must ensure five thousand meters, so that once Kublai Khan attacks in, you can escape."

"It's Jia Ye, my subordinates will do it."

"At the same time, we must also inform the soldiers that we must speed up, because no one knows when Kublai Khan's team will come, don't you say?"

The latter sighed and didn't dare to slack off, and Jia Rudao walked out of the house, he was a little hungry and planned to go to the cafeteria to eat. Some rice.

After walking for a while, he soon came to the destination, the man in the canteen was cooking, and when he saw Jia Rudao coming in, he immediately knelt on the ground, "Jia Ye, I don't know why Jia Ye came?" The subordinates are far away.

"That's it, get up." Jia Rudao waved his hand.

"Thank you Master Jia." The latter was afraid, obviously a little timid, he didn't know what the other party was coming.

Jia Rudao sat on a stool on the side, slapped the table with his hand and said, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Why don't you go and get Jia Ye some food? It's been this hour, and I'm hungry Jia Ye.

"Remember, Master Jia, I only need something delicious, if the taste is not delicious enough, beware that I will kill you."

The guy ran into the kitchen in a panic, there was a fart to eat, how much military spending is a month? It's not enough, and you even have to save money.

Soon he came running with a bowl of noodles, and there was only one egg in it, and nothing else.

"Jia Ye, you see this is the best food in the barracks, the soldiers only eat one egg and three bowls of noodles a day, and there is no more."

Slim eggs? When did Jia Yidao eat this kind of thing? That was when he was wandering before, and the next moment he slammed it to the ground and said, "Guy, you tell Jia Ye me, why is there no pork and chicken?" At the same time, why don't you even have a little oil and water?" The man knelt on the ground, and the next moment he was scared and cried.

"Jia Ye, go back to Jia Ye, there is no way to do it, there is a shortage of everything in the barracks, especially the lack of silver, if you do something more one day, you may have to go hungry at the end of the month."

He also has no choice, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, even if she is good at cooking, she can't make food.

There are hundreds of people in the canteen, and cooking for more than 100,000 people is not the work of a few people.

They all knelt down and said, "Master Jia, since you have already come, so little one has something to say to you, don't you know, the money in our military camp has been embezzled." Embezzled? Jia Rudao's body was shocked, and it was just before the change, but he had already come over at this moment, what kind of corruption is this? Who can believe it?

"One by one, tell the truth about things right away, what the hell is going on? Was the silver greedy by the king before you?"

Everyone hurriedly shook their heads, "Jia Ye is not, Lord Wang is a clean official, and the one who embezzled the silver was the adult who was responsible for going out to buy vegetables inside the military camp, and this person was a relative of one of the previous Sanshu adults." ”

"The military salaries given by Sanshu every month are all in order, no more, no less, they are greedy, and the military camp is corrupt a little, and then when they come to us, it is not enough.

The more Jia seems to hear it, the more angry he becomes, he is the prime minister, and he only has his own share of corruption, why can anyone still be corrupt in front of him? He's looking for death, he's tired of living, isn't he? "You guys.... You all told Jia Ye me one by one, who is this person and what is his name? Where is it at the moment? Don't worry, Jia Ye, I am the prime minister, and I will call the shots for you.
