Chapter 590: Mid-Autumn Night

After reading the scroll sent by His Majesty, Ying Jie's excitement was difficult to calm down for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 These documents are divided into several parts, including a summary of the gains and losses of the Marshal's Mansion since its establishment and the relocation of the Xing Dynasty, as well as an analysis of the current and future situation of the enemy and us, which focuses on the blind optimism of some people in the Xing Dynasty, who believe that after several victories, the soldiers and horses have the ability to attack the hostile and should launch a counteroffensive as soon as possible, and express concern about the idea of attacking Jiangnan and returning the capital to Lin'an.

The little emperor thought that the current victories in the current battles of the Xing Dynasty were only partial victories, and that they could not shake the foundation of the Mongols at all, and that the current military strength was not enough to defeat the enemy's powerful army, and the economic strength was difficult to support large-scale wars. Therefore, the restoration of the country is not something that can be accomplished in a handful, and Taoguang should accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity to move.

While pointing out the problem, the little emperor also put forward his own ideas, thinking that the counteroffensive should not be done by himself, and when the time is ripe, he will occupy the bridgehead on the mainland by uniting heroes from all walks of life and through local battles, so as to establish a solid base area, so as to obtain more population and resources, and further strengthen his own strength. Then gradually expand and occupy Gangnam. He also believes that while adopting military means, it is also necessary to weaken the enemy's strength by destroying the enemy's economic base.

Ying Jieyan deeply believed that the situation analysis made by the little emperor was true, and now the courtiers in the court, even including some important ministers in high positions, do not know the situation, and there are unrealistic ideas, and they always want to decide the world in a war. He knew that these bold ideas were very harmful to the weak dynasty, not only would they exhaust the strength they had accumulated so hard, but they would even lose the last foothold of Qiongzhou.

Subsequently, the little emperor proposed corresponding measures, in addition to continuing to increase the intensity of reclamation, should also take advantage of the advantages of Qiongzhou facing the sea to develop handicrafts, trade with other countries, and strengthen their own economic strength. At the same time, we should continue to implement preferential policies to recruit talented people and attract more people to move to Qiongzhou, so as to provide impetus and foundation for the development of the dynasty.

Of course, strengthening the combat effectiveness of the army is still the most important thing, and this is the foundation for the survival of the Xing Dynasty and the foundation for the restoration of the country. For this reason, the little emperor specially expounded the direction of the development of the army and the principles and measures for the reorganization of the army, and attached a booklet called "The Actual Record of Military Training", which not only summarized the strategy and gains and losses of the little emperor's previous army reorganization, military regulations, military discipline, organizational structure, etc., but also described in detail the methods of selecting and selecting generals and training troops, and recorded the course of several battles and post-war summaries of the Marshal's Army since its formation.

It should be seen that the little emperor wrote very carefully, but limited to experience and foundation, this "Actual Record of Military Training" still has many deficiencies, for example, there are many naval forces that are very familiar with it, from personnel allocation to combat methods; On the contrary, the little emperor knew very little about the cavalry, and only wrote a few strokes on strategic use; And the military formation chapter is simply a title, and the content is all blank, obviously left for people to add, but there is no scribbling that does not know how to pretend to understand.

Even so, Ying Jieyan also found that there are many bright spots in the article, especially for the current tasks and structure of the army, such as the requirement that the military branches should be further refined, the division of labor should be specialized, the establishment of a special baggage army, and the naval army should be independent rather than subordinate to the infantry army, etc. The idea of establishing martial arts to train professional officers and professional non-commissioned officers and the idea of establishing an army with firearms as the main weapon is even more refreshing......

In a blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao Yu presented an invitation to the Queen Mother in advance, and the Queen Mother also gave wine and meat, and the ministers of the court also wrote to congratulate and sent a holiday thing. And he also rewarded the officers and soldiers who accompanied him, and sent Zheng Yong to give a heavy gift to his father Zheng Fuweng on his behalf. These days, the people of the Tan tribe not only deliver the seafood caught that day, but also send people to assist the officers and soldiers in the nearby waters to inspect the sea.

What is annoying is that the sky is gloomy in the morning, and it rains at noon, which disrupts Zhao Hao's plan to hold a barbecue meeting by the sea, and now he can only ask for his own convenience. At night, not only did the rain not stop, but it became heavier and heavier, and there was no chance to admire the moon. Although it is a pity, after the moon is sacrificed according to the ceremony, a wine banquet is set up in the corridor to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with a few personal attendants around him.

"Tonight is finally peaceful, I don't have to listen to them study, the noise hurts my head. The official said that they should not read it again tomorrow! Frangipani picked up a loquat and peeled it, put it in her mouth, and said.

"Don't talk nonsense, let the guards read and learn words, that's the will of the officials!" Wang De reprimanded in a low voice.

"Oh, but why do the officials let a group of soldiers who only know how to fight study?" Frangipani did not give up, but chased after the roots.

"Don't blame the official, this frangipani has no rules after drinking two cups of osmanthus wine!" Su Lan saw that her old problem had been committed again, so she hurriedly pulled her shirt and hurriedly apologized to His Majesty. In fact, she herself is very strange, the guards guarding the palace ban are not only here, even in the East Palace, they can hear their reading every night, if people who don't know pass by, they will definitely think that it is not a military camp, but a village school.

"It's okay!" Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, "Only by reading can we be reasonable, and we also need to be honest when we govern soldiers." An army without culture has no future, and only an army that knows what it is fighting for and who it is fighting for can not be defeated and victorious! ā€

"Did you hear it, the officials have deep meanings in everything they do, and you can't talk too much. The situation in Yashan is so dangerous, and the official family still personally teaches the guards? Wang De put on the old qualifications to educate the two newcomers.

"The slave and maid know, but they failed to understand the meaning of the official family!" Su Lan replied.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, don't be so restrained, thank you for coming and worshipping is too boring, just talk about how good it is to talk as a family member!" Zhao Yu frowned.

"That's it, the official is right, today is a holiday, and it can be an exception!" Su Xin clapped her hands when she heard this.

Several people are not very old, it is said that Zhao Yu is the youngest, but his psychological age is the oldest. So it can be said that it is a piece, but after all, he came through and has been in the palace for a long time, and he is not familiar with the customs of the Great Song Dynasty. This also made the atmosphere relaxed, and the words were much more casual.

"How is this mooncake steamed?" Zhao Yu couldn't control his mouth when he saw the food, picked up the moon cake on the table and took a bite, but the taste was very different from modern times.

"Official, of course this palace cake is steamed, can't it be baked!" Wang De smiled.

"It turns out that this is called a palace cake, why not a moon cake? But of course it's grilled and delicious! Zhao Yu looked at the shape of the cake in his hand in the shape of a diamond, but the moon cake in his previous life was still square, so he didn't think much about it, but there was also a filling in it when he ate it, but this steamed cake was not a sugar bag.

"Since the roast is delicious, the little ones are ordered to make them!" Wang De immediately took over and said.

"Forget it, forget it, even if you change it to roast, you can make that kind of taste!" Zhao Yu waved his hand. The heart said that this baked sugar bun is not delicious, and it is just a sustenance, eating moon cakes is a kind of longing and friendship, and how can I not make the taste of moon cakes in my previous life,!

"Although there is no moon tonight, but the sound of wind and rain and tides, but the sound of the bamboo is missing, it is better to ask someone to sing a song for the official!" Wang De suddenly saw that the little emperor's face was gloomy, thinking that it had touched his heart, and hurriedly diverted from the road.

"Why bother looking for someone else, Sister Lan can play the piano and sing songs, why not let my sister present a song!" Su Xin said in a loud voice.

"Okay!" Zhao Yu clapped his hands and said.

"This ...... The slave is only shallow in learning, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to enter the ears of the official family and lose the interest of the official family! ā€

"Eh, it's just that everyone is having fun together, so what's the difference if you sing well or not?" Zhao Hao said with a smile.

"yes, yes, I'm going to fetch the piano for my sister!" Su Xin didn't wait for Su Lan to say anything more, dropped a sentence and got up to get the piano.

After a while, Su Xin brought a zither, and she also held a hole flute, and her own small yellow door moved to the piano table to set it up. Su Lan didn't shirk this time, and got up and sat down behind the piano table after a helpless glance at Su Xin, her fingers gently brushing over the piano, making a series of clear 'Zheng Zheng' sounds. Then Chong Frangipani nodded, signaling that it was time to start. After she started to play through the door for a while, Frangipani began to echo her.

"When is the bright moon? Ask the sky for wine. I don't know the heavenly palace, what year is it tonight? I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the height is too cold! Dancing to figure out the shadow, how does it seem to be in the world? Su Lan opened her mouth and sang softly.

"That's great!" Zhao Hao heard that this was Su Dongpo's hand-me-down, but he didn't know anything about music, and he grew up listening to popular singing, so he didn't have much interest in these. But as soon as Su Lan sang it, he felt that the singing voice seemed to have a kind of magic that penetrated the ear drum and went straight to the brain, which made people's hearts tighten, but there was no discomfort at all, but there was a feeling of relaxation and joy, and he couldn't help but scream in secret.

"Turn to Zhu Pavilion, low Qihu...... I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. Su Lan sang while playing, and at the end of the song, her voice changed from high-pitched to low, and stopped abruptly after repeated chanting.

"The girl's singing voice is like a rock bead falling on the plate, elegant and refined, it is really like a sound from outside the world!" As soon as the song ended, a person flashed out from behind the pillars and clapped his hands and shouted.

"Sir!" Zhao Hao, who was still immersed in the singing, also looked up at people as if he had just woken up, and it was Ying Jieyan.

"Your Majesty, forgive the ministers for being rude, it's really Miss Su's singing voice that is too beautiful, and the ministers follow the voice but disturb Your Majesty." Bow your hand strictly and bow.

"The governor praised it, how dare the little girl be!" Su Lan also hurriedly got up and saluted Ying Jieyan.

"Don't be humble girl, good is good!" Ying Jieyan twisted his face and smiled.

"My sister sang well, not only brought the governor over, but even the clouds dispersed!" Frangipani pointed to the Sky Dao.

"Oh, the old man thought that he would have no chance with the moon this year, but he didn't expect the girl to sing a song, and the wind and rain stopped, and Yue'er also appeared!" Everyone looked up, and they didn't know when the rain stopped, and a bright moon hung high in the sky. Ying Jie Yan stroked his beard and laughed.

"Hehe, if the girl knew that she had such a ability and sang it earlier, wouldn't we have to worry about not having the moon!" The moonlight sprinkled in from the patio and was falling on the banquet, which also surprised Zhao Hao, and said with a smile.

"Don't make fun of the slaves and maids...... Su Lan was embarrassed, and lowered her head to arrange the dishes and chopsticks for the festival.

"Haha, it's also a beautiful thing for Your Majesty to have such a beautiful woman by your side!" Ying Jieyan sat down next to the little emperor, looked at the shy Su Lan, and then looked at the ignorant Majesty, and said with a smile......

Everyone knows that Ying Jieyan is not only an important minister of the court, but also a master of His Majesty, and everyone can see that he came here uninvited, and it is definitely not for listening to music, there must be something to discuss. So Wang De ordered the remnants of the table to be removed, and after rearranging it, he retreated to the side with everyone, and this Mid-Autumn Festival night ended here. The two gossiped for a while, and Ying Jieyan also talked about the grand occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Lin'an, but after a while, it turned to the current situation.

"Your Majesty said in the article that we will now spend years recuperating and accumulating strength. The ministers are puzzled by this, and the current Tartars have not gone south for more than a year, and the foundation is not deep, but it is a good opportunity to recover their homeland. If you wait for a few years, the Tartars have been in business for a long time, and the foundation is already solid, and the people who once had their hearts to our dynasty have also yielded to me, and they have forgotten our dynasty. At that time, we will launch a war to restore the country, but I am afraid that the people will no longer know that there was a Han again! Ying Jieyan drank a glass of wine and said.

"Sir's concern is not impossible, but the Tartars are strong at this time, and it is a time when they are unstoppable, and if we force them, it is difficult to ensure that we will not repeat the mistakes of the past." In fact, this issue was as early as when he went to Qiong, Zhao Yu talked about this topic with Ying Jieyan and Jiang Wanzai, and explained it, and the two of them also agreed with their own statement. Now it should be brought up again, thinking that it is because he thinks that the Xing Dynasty has moved to Qiong, causing the power of the imperial court to completely withdraw from the mainland, if he sits back and watch the Mongols gradually gain a foothold, and then carry out a counteroffensive, he has missed the opportunity and cannot respond to all calls.

"Well, Your Majesty's concern is not unreasonable, this is really difficult to crack!" Ying Jieyan also knew that in the case of the huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, if he launched a counteroffensive desperately, it was likely that even the last foothold in Qiongzhou would be lost.

"In fact, the situation is not as bad as Mr. thinks, the thief chief Kublai Khan is very ambitious, he wants not only to unify China, but also to conquer overseas countries. And his reckless military force will inevitably expropriate and extort military funds, which will surely cause dissatisfaction and resistance from the people, and as long as we do not perish, they will think of the king returning to the north. Of course, Zhao Yu knew that due to Kublai Khan's successive years of foreign wars, the treasury was empty, so he wantonly looted Jiangnan, and the people of Jiangnan were overwhelmed. But I can't say it explicitly, so I have to explain it like this.

"Your Majesty is right, it is true that the Tartars have been fighting for years, but after attacking the city and plundering the land, their strength will increase again, and won't the chances of recovering the country be a little less?" Ying Jieyan nodded and raised his own question......
