Zhao Yu immediately inspected the two wings of the defense of the Wulian Mountain and the north and south mountains of Xinnujian in the company accompanied by Li Zhen, the commander of the Second Brigade, and although the altitude was not high and the trees were densely planted, the mountain was not steep, and it could still be climbed on foot in some places. The 2nd Brigade of the www.biquge.info Brigade each held two mountains with a regiment, set up blocking positions in key areas, set up guard posts at various commanding heights, blocked the paths up the mountains with mines, and left a regimental reserve ready to reinforce the positions at any time.

Since it is the rainy season and the trees on the mountain are tall, Zhao Yu told us to do a good job in lightning protection, rain prevention and fire prevention, so as not to die in the hands of the enemy, but suffered the 'curse' of heaven, let the thunder split to death, and was burned to death by fire. At the same time, he ordered the various positions on the hill to stock up on more grenades, which were sometimes better than muskets. In addition, it is necessary to prepare drinking water and dry food, and protect the water collection point to prevent the infiltrated enemy from being drugged. In addition, it was instructed to set up two sentry posts, light and dark, in case the enemy launched a surprise attack and was touched.

After turning for more than half a day, Zhao Yu returned to the lower palace of Yongsi Mausoleum, which had been cleaned up and set up a guard camp. The main hall of the lower palace is naturally used by him, the front hall is used as a place of discussion, the apse is used as a place to sleep, and the two side halls on the left and right are used as the residence of the attendants and palace people. The houses in the east and west corridors became the offices of the civil and military officers, and the public office for the officers and soldiers guarding the tomb became the barracks of the guard camp.

The Emperor had the right to live in a house, and the others did not have this privilege, although there were many empty mausoleums for them to stay in. Therefore, according to the division of the defense area, each department set up camp in the open space in the mausoleum area and set up tents. Looking from a high place, it is also neat everywhere, and the rising smoke makes this mausoleum area, which has been silent for many years, the place where the undead live, more lively. Zhao Hao 'viciously' thought, this place may not have been here since it was built, and he didn't expect that their children and grandchildren would use this place as a battlefield.

Zhao Hao relied on dry food for four meals in a row, although it was nothing to him, but he also hoped to have some hot soup. Seeing that the meal was ordered, he ordered someone to send the meal to the main hall, and summoned the important ministers to have a working meal, and jointly reported and discussed some things. In this era, there were no refrigerators, and even if you carried some vegetables and vegetables, they would have already rotted, and there was nowhere to buy them, so the meals were extremely simple, but they were more refined than the big pot rice in the army.

Several ministers who accompanied Hu were called to come, and Zhao Yu thought that he had been tossing at sea for seven or eight days, and yesterday was a busy day, and the old men must have been tossed a lot. I didn't expect to see them, I don't know if it's because they're back to their hometown, or because they're too busy, they don't see malaise, but they are very energetic. This made him very pleased, and he should be comforted and advised not to work too hard.

"Your Majesty, yesterday the minister went to the mausoleum of the first emperor with Xu Shangshu and Master Ma to worship, and as we have seen, although the mausoleum of the four emperors of Gao, Xiao, Guang and Ning in Nanling is slightly dilapidated, it is not bad, and it only needs to be sorted out; The mausoleums of the two emperors of Beiling Li and Du were seriously damaged by thieves, especially the Xuangong of the Mausoleum of Lizong, which needed to be repaired before entering the burial. Ningzong's mausoleum is also damaged, but it is still lighter than the mausoleum of Lizong, just re-close the Xuangong and renovate the upper palace! Chen Zhongwei first replied to what he had seen and made an assessment.

"Well, I wonder how long it will take to complete the renovation?" Zhao Yu nodded and asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it will take at least five days to fully renovate the mausoleums of the two emperors!" Wei Tianzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said.

"Can it be faster? If the war is together, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to take care of each other! Zhao Yu pondered for a moment and said.

"The minister also knows, but the renovation of the Xuan Palace is cumbersome, and there can be no omission, and then there is still a need to screen the stolen burial things one by one, and seal them as they are, it will take time, and it really can't be less!" Wei Tianzhong said.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have also seen the surrounding tombs of the princes, more than 100 of them have been stolen and dug up, and the bones are displayed in the wilderness, and they need to be collected and buried as soon as possible. This takes a lot of time, and it takes dozens of days to complete. Xu Zongren said gloomily.

"That demon monk really deserves to die, he actually did such a beast!" Zhao Hao scolded, this thief is really harmful, many of the families of the princes and nobles who accompanied the funeral were either dead or scattered, and they could only be filial sons and grandsons for themselves, but I thought about it and said, "I think that the most important thing at the moment is to repair the tombs of the emperors first and bury Emperor Lizong." As for the burial of the tombs, you can first make people collect the bones and bury them, do not expose them to the wilderness, temporarily inhabit the temple, and then bury them slowly! ”

"What Your Majesty said is not unavoidable, the current war is urgent, and it is difficult to stay here for a long time, why don't you go into the secret burial first, so as not to be coveted by ghosts, and then have a beautiful burial on the day of the restoration of the country!" Ma Tingluan nodded.

"It's good!" Chen Zhongwei pondered for a moment and said, "At the time of this national crisis, it is reasonable to focus on war, and the minister also thinks it is feasible!" ”

"Okay, then there will be all Aiqing, when I return to Lin'an, I will personally make a tomb for them!" Zhao Yu said.

"Your Majesty is benevolent!" Xu Zongren also breathed a sigh of relief, it was a big project for so many princes and nobles to be buried one by one, and he was also worried that the little emperor would go his own way and miss the business, so he said slowly, "According to the rules, Your Majesty should worship the tombs of the first emperor, but there is a lot of haste, how about the ministers think that the ceremony will be laid after three days?" ”

"Yes, you Aiqing can do your best to arrange it, and there is no need to be too extravagant and extravagant in this extraordinary period, I think you will understand if you have a spirit in the sky!" Zhao Yu said.

"Your Majesty is loyal and filial, and he is not afraid to go thousands of miles into the tiger's den to protect the tomb, and the first emperors will be very pleased if they know it under the Nine Springs!" Chen Zhongwei bowed his hand upwards and saluted.

"You Aiqing praised, the invasion of the mausoleum of the first emperor is all my fault, I don't ask for forgiveness, but it is enough to ask for understanding!" Zhao Hao naturally has to be modest.

Next, Zhao Yu and everyone discussed some details while eating, and the meal lasted for an hour before dispersing. Zhao Yu returned to the dormitory, cleaned up inside and out, and finished arranging. But I don't know if it's because I'm doing something wrong in my heart, or if the room hasn't been occupied for a long time, I always feel a chill down my spine on this hot day. So he asked Wang De to prepare incense candles and tributes, and went to the upper palace in front of the tomb of Gaozong to pay respects.

As for what to say, of course, what is good to hear, what descendants have failed to keep the ancestral inheritance, and today they have to disturb the purity, don't blame it, bless yourself to be able to follow suit to expel the Tartars, restore the country, and revive the Great Song Dynasty. Regardless of whether the spirit is good or not, anyway, after Zhao Yu fooled the ghost for a while, his heart was much more stable, and the strange feeling of frightening and unsettling disappeared.

Although Zhao Yu felt incredible, he thought that he might be unsure about whether he could succeed in this battle, which led to restlessness, and he muttered in front of Gao Zongling, which relieved his nervousness, but he didn't really have the power of gods and ghosts. But the next day, I don't know who spread the news of his solo sacrifice to the mausoleum, saying that the little emperor cried in front of Gaozong's mausoleum and vowed to restore the country. And Emperor Gaozong also appeared, and the palace was victorious for a while, and he appeared to teach His Majesty the plan to destroy the Tartars, and gave him the sword that accompanied the burial.

When patrolling the camp the next day, Zhao Yu was a little annoyed at first when he heard about this, isn't this a rumor for himself? I wanted to investigate thoroughly and punish him severely, so as not to shake the army's heart, so I ordered someone to investigate secretly. The news of the feedback made him unexpected, and the matter of his sacrifice to the tomb had become more and more outrageous through word of mouth, not only involving Gaozong, but also several other ancestors.

It probably means that the first emperors got together and held a meeting for Zhao Hao, not only taught him the art of war and war strategies, but also gave him all the artifacts he owned, so everyone firmly believed that the little emperor was protected by the first emperors, and this battle would be won, and the day of returning to Lin'an was not far away! In this way, the matter can't be investigated, there must have been an example of himself pretending to be a ghost before, he pretended to be Taizu and Chen Tuan to grant the Book of Heaven and pass down the verses. Now, once you pierce it, it is equivalent to slapping yourself in the face.

So they can only remain silent, neither propaganda nor explanation. But the more he pretended to be mysterious like this, the more he believed that things were true, and his morale was greatly boosted for a while. Although Zhao Yu didn't investigate further, he didn't dare to determine who was the initiator, but he had a suspicion in his heart. Because there are only a few people who know about this, Wang De is now acting more and more cautiously, and he will never talk nonsense, and if he speaks, of course the two little yellow doors who accompany him will not dare. Then the biggest suspect is Chen Dun, the kid who serves as a guard.

Zhao Yu knew that Chen Dun had been tricked by himself twice since he arrived in the mausoleum area, and this kid must be unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to do it with himself, so he wanted to play yin, and spread the matter of the mausoleum, and the original intention was just to see his own jokes, but there was no malice. I didn't expect it to be self-defeating, not only did I not see it as a joke, but I fulfilled myself, and now I don't know how heartwarming it is......

In fact, at this time, the officers and men of the 1st Brigade and the Cavalry Brigade were also very heartwarming. After the landing, the 2nd Brigade assumed the task of frontal defense, and the 3rd Brigade was responsible for the security of both flanks. The first brigade became a miscellaneous worker except for eliminating those tomb robbers, either transporting supplies or assisting in the collection of bones, and had no clear task. After the cavalry brigade came ashore, it was placed on the east side of the mausoleum area, saying that it was used as a defense, but everyone could see that there were dense streams there, which was not suitable for cavalry to fight at all, but it was rich in water and grass, suitable for grazing. What made them feel a little relieved was the task of the sentinel, and finally there was something serious to do.

Zhao Hao also understands that the first brigade was formed with the first batch of soldiers who graduated from the new army training camp as the backbone, and the first batch of demonstration brigades with firearms for all members, all officers at all levels are from the new military camp, with strict discipline, skilled tactics, and naturally the strongest combat effectiveness.

The cavalry was scarce in the Song army, and the soldiers were also the best of the best, and they were all regarded as treasures by various armies, as if they were naturally superior to other arms. They also wanted to create miracles in this battle, but now they are idle, and they are naturally not convinced. Several invitations to war were rejected by the little emperor, which made everyone feel aggrieved and felt abandoned by the little emperor.

Zhao Yu was actually anxious, and the bureau had already transferred the information from various places in the past two days. The base areas led by Wen Tianxiang, Chen Zeweng, Wang Daofu, and others have all completed mobilization and preparations for war, and they will be able to immediately raise an incident to cooperate with the main force after receiving the order. He looked at the date more than ten days ago, but the battle on his side had not started according to the pre-estimate, so they could only draw their bows and wait to attack. However, the bowstring is always taut, and it will inevitably become loose, and if it is detected by the enemy, it will disrupt the entire campaign deployment.

At the same time, the follow-up army led by Lu Xiufu was getting closer and closer to the battlefield, and Dong Yicheng's fleet could only temporarily hide on Daqushan Island outside Qiantang for the time being. And Zhao Yu was also surprised, he came to the mausoleum with great fanfare, and also arrested Kublai Khan's confidant Yang Lian Zhenjia, but the area of Hangzhou seemed to be deaf and blind, and did not come to attack as expected, so he had to wonder if his battle plan had been leaked. However, after pondering for a while, he felt that this possibility was extremely unlikely, and it was likely that the Yuan Dynasty also made institutional mistakes after completing the unification, which led to slow action.

Kublai Khan consolidated and changed his administrative structure last year. In particular, the power of the province was further expanded, and as the highest local government between the prefecture and the hinterland, its power can be said to have surpassed that of previous dynasties. The magistrate of the Song Dynasty was the governor of a state, but he could not achieve the unity of government decrees. As for the province of Xingzhongshu Province, one is a large military region, which has been in the domain for a long time and governs the local garrison army, which is different from the central Su Guard Army; The second is the large wealth area, the provinces are very extensive, and the central and local wealth division has reached a high proportion of 73 open, so that "the place of wealth is gathered in the provinces".

All in all, the power of the province is great. However, even so, because the province still had some of the original characteristics of the imperial court's dispatched agencies, it could not achieve the situation that the tail was too big to fall, so the province could not form a feudal town. Moreover, the Yuan court was also very far-sighted, dividing the provinces into dogs and teeth, forming the characteristics of controlling the south from the north. You can look at the provincial plan of the Yuan Dynasty, which assigned the Qinling Mountains to Shaanxi, so no one can divide the Sichuan Province and claim the king; The southern provinces of Henan and the north of the river have no Huai River barrier, and the south of the river is easily taken by the northern army.

In the Yuan Dynasty, local supervision was mainly carried out by the provinces, while the main powers of the Song Dynasty, such as issuing orders and making decisions on general affairs, were all taken over by the central government. The provincial officials were used by the Mongols, Semu, and Han Chinese, and the prefects were Mongols and Semu who were born in the cowardly Xue Suwei, so that they could not conspire to cause rebellion; The provincial governors only have a certain amount of power to draw a single line, and cannot arbitrarily decide the cadres, while the central government sends special officials to take charge of the affairs of the province.

Therefore, the provincial system of the Yuan Dynasty is very special, and it is more suitable to describe it as having a large amount of power but not a special one. It cannot be said that its creation has made the central power greater, nor can it be said that its creation has made the local power greater, and it wants to centralize power in this way. But it also produced sequelae, the division of power made it inefficient, and it followed the old path of the Song Dynasty in the past......
