Now the Song Army's annual spring training is followed by a summer drill, and the Privy Council's exercise plan has been reported a month ago. However www.biquge.info Zhao Yu plans to make adjustments, changing the large-scale anti-landing operations and infantry and cavalry confrontations to long-range raids and sports encirclement and annihilation exercises, and this time the naval army will not only undertake the tasks of transportation and escort, but will also be responsible for intercepting, attacking, and supporting the marines in seizing key points.

The Privy Council, which was responsible for formulating the drill plan, was very puzzled by this, and the previous drill outline was also formulated with His Majesty's royal approval, but this suddenly had to be overturned and restarted, which puzzled them. However, the military orders are like a mountain, and they can only reorganize and rectify them according to His Majesty's wishes, choose another exercise venue, and formulate detailed rules for the exercise. In addition, the staff division was instructed to survey and compile detailed nautical charts of the southeast coast and collect hydrological data of inland waterways; Jiyi Division strengthened the collection of intelligence on the allocation of troops of the Yuan Army.

At the same time, the military department also received a holy order, and ordered the baggage department to prepare ordnance, hoard materials needed for three months' operations, and increase the allocation of materials to various base areas; The military department should send competent cadres to several base areas to strengthen the leadership and the reorganization and training of soldiers, and strengthen the allocation of grassroots officers of the forbidden army to supplement the shortage of troops in each department. and recruit 20,000 new soldiers, and equip each division with a supplementary regiment.

All the ministers felt a little strange, the little emperor's deployment of troops did not look like he was conducting exercises, but as if he was preparing for war. But before they could figure out the situation, they hurriedly went to Boao Island to escape the summer after the spring lecture. And Zhao Yu really knew that Yang Lian Zhenjia's bastard thing had come to Hangzhou to take up his post, and he didn't know that he would throw away his family's ancestral grave one day, so he had to prepare.

The time has not yet come, and this cannot be said to the ministers, so Zhao Hao can only mobilize troops in the name of exercises, replenish military resources, and prepare to replenish troops. But with the idea, how to fight, what goal to achieve, and to what extent the battle will be fought and so on, he has not thought through the details, let alone the details, he hid here just to make a battle plan.

"I didn't know what the ancestor thought at the beginning, why did he have to stay in Hangzhou!" The largest room in the inner court of the palace has been converted into a temporary study at this moment, only the sand table and maps occupy half of the room, the other half is also full of books, and two small yellow doors are waiting day and night to help him find the information he needs. But he didn't write a word in the past two days, just studying the map, but no matter how you look at Hangzhou, it's not very suitable to be the capital, and he can't help complaining.

Frowning and pondering for a moment, Zhao Yu felt that his ancestor was not unaware of the disadvantages of building a capital in Hangzhou, which has a history of more than 1,000 years since the establishment of county governance in the Qin Dynasty, and was once the capital of Wu Yueguo, known as the reputation of heaven on earth because of its beautiful scenery. Thanks to the convenience of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and the treaty port, as well as its own developed silk and grain industries, it has become an important commercial distribution center, and it is very suitable as an economic center, but as a political center, both the geographical location and the influence of the surrounding radiation are lacking.

And Zhao Gou insisted on building the capital of Hangzhou or in his own security considerations, thus losing the confidence of the Northern Expedition to restore the land, and several heirs did not have the determination to restore the country, and peace of mind was in a corner of peace. You must know that before the capital of Lin'an, from Shaoxing three to six years of three years, the imperial court had three times to discuss the relocation of the capital, at that time Fuzhou Zhang Shou once said: "Jiankang since the six dynasties for the imperial capital, the river is dangerous, the weather is majestic, and according to the capital to manage the Central Plains, according to the danger to defend the strong enemy, can be other capital to try to recover." But they all failed because of the Jin army's southern invasion, and they were not adopted in the end.

The situation was not until the Wu Jie brothers won the victory in the defense of Shaanxi and Sichuan, and took the opportunity to recover the Feng, Qin, and Long prefectures; Yue Fei recovered six counties including Xiangyang and stationed troops in Ezhou; Han Shizhong defeated the Jin soldiers in Yangzhou and stationed in Chuzhou, and the anti-Jin situation was very good. Zhang Jun consulted with the generals of the Northern Expedition as the prime minister and governor of the Zhulu Army, and after completing the military deployment, Gaozong was urged by many ministers to set up the banner of "anti-gold" and enter Jiankang.

However, at this time, the Jurchen aristocracy also used troops for many years, and the teachers and elders were ineffective, which led to the internal killing of the ruling group. The lazy faction, which held the real power of the Jin State, abolished the puppet regime of Liu Yu and used the strategy of "attacking with peace and discussion" against the Southern Song Dynasty regime to induce Zhao Gou to surrender, and a confrontation situation appeared between Song and Jin. In this way, half of the Southern Song Dynasty from Huaishui in the east to Qinling in the west began to stabilize, and Gaozong sent Liu Guangshi and Han Shizhong to set up marshal's mansions in Jiankang and Zhenjiang, stationing 100,000 troops, and strengthening the military defense force in the Jianghuai area.

Regardless of the opposition of the ministers, after Zhao Gou returned to Lin'an from the front line of Jiankang, he also adopted the policy of "the emperor must first secure the inside", and mobilized Yue Fei and other elite soldiers to suppress the peasant uprising of Yang Mo and others. In this way, the ruling clique of the Southern Song Dynasty Zhao Gou initially stabilized its rule in the midst of many contradictions. This is the third time that Gaozong has been stationed in Lin'an, and in this year, he officially took Lin'an as his "place to go", and finally set the capital of Lin'an. Because the mountains and rivers are broken, the national shame has not snowed, and patriots have always failed to forget the great cause of recovering the Central Plains and reunifying the motherland. In the more than 100 years since the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, there have been discussions among the ministers to move to Jiankang.

Lu You shouted in the first year of Xiaozong Longxing's "Shangerfu on the Capital of Yi Zazi": "A certain Wenjiang Zuo since Wu, there is no one who has given up Jiankang and other capitals, Wu tastes Wuchang, Liang tastes Jingzhu, and the Southern Tang Dynasty tastes Hongzhou (now Nanchang City). However, they are all destroyed and rebuilt, and they are relocated, and even destroyed. What does the public think is this? Heaven and earth are created, and the situation of mountains and rivers is not easy. The car driver is stationed in Lin'an, which is expedient, and it is not a fixed capital; The situation is not solid, the salary is inconvenient, the sea road is approaching, and there are often unexpected worries. ”

Chen Liang also pointed out in the first book of Emperor Shangxiaozong in the fifth year of Chunxi that the capital of Lin'an had many ills. He said: "Fu Wu Shu, the bias of heaven and earth is also; Qiantang, and Wu Yiyu. When the Tang Dynasty declined, and Qian Biao rose to the throne of Lu Xiang, he thought that he could not be independent, and he often took China as a priority. And I Song was ordered, and I dedicated my land to my family. Therefore, Qiantang was the least soldiers in the first five generations, and between the two hundred years, the characters became prosperous, and then the first in the southeast, and between Jianyan and Shaoxing, was the place where Liufei was stationed. ”

The scholar then governed the garden and confined the pavilion to enjoy his life in addition to the war, and the upper and lower feasts, and Qiantang was a happy country. A gap in the land is not enough to accommodate ten thousand times, and after fifty years of suppression, the air cover of the mountains and rivers has also been vented without any left. Therefore, the benefits of the valley chestnut mulberry and the silk are consumed at the age of one year, and the birthday of birds, beasts, fish, turtles, plants and trees is less than one day, and the upper and lower are not thought to be in different places. The generals and ministers are about to be from many rivers, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Shu, and the talents are also getting worse; There are 100,000 people in the field, and the small difference in literature and ink is enough to dominate them. According to the gas that has been consumed in Qiantang, His Majesty uses the declining people of Fujian and Zhejiang, and wants to drum up the fragile people in the southeast Xi'an, and fight for the Central Plains in the north, and the ministers are aware of their difficulties. ”

Lü Zhi gave the Song court "The Convenience of Southeast Defense", and wrote three treatises: "The Fundamental Theory of Jiankang", "The Theory of the Upper and Lower Rivers", and "The Theory of Jianghuai Surfaces and Interiors", suggesting: Establish the capital Jiankang as the foundation of the king; Garrison Jiangling, Xiangyang, Wuchang, Jiujiang to consolidate the upstream and downstream trend; Guarding the river to govern the inside, preparing Huai to govern the outside, and expressing the Huai and the river, so that the Central Plains can be restored. Shandong and Jingxiang are like the two wings of the southeast, shielding the entire Jianghuai defense system. Shandong is enough to protect the upper reaches of Huaisi, and Jingxiang is enough to protect the upper reaches of Jianghan. The predecessors once said, "Those who want to consolidate the southeast must fight for Jianghan; Those who want to peek into the Central Plains must get Huaisi. If there is Jianghan and no Huaisi, the country will be weak; There is Huaisi but no upper reaches of Jianghan, and the country will be in danger. "The north is based on Shandong to consolidate the upper reaches of Huaisi, and the west is to protect Jingxiang to consolidate the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, which is the best situation for those who protect the southeast......

"Alas, I'm a backbiter!" Now not only has the raw rice been cooked into cooked rice, but even the pot has been smashed, Zhao Yu not only has to clean up the mess for several ancestors, but also has to try to prevent them from exposing their corpses to the wilderness. But think that they have been eating, drinking, and having fun all their lives, and they have not left themselves with a single kick of their legs, and it is not a big deal to dig their graves twice, and they feel better.

Zhao Yu has been thinking about it for a few days now, he is sending troops in the name of protecting the tomb, and he will inevitably attack Shaoxing, but there are heavy troops stationed in Hangzhou, and the distance between the two cities is less than 200 miles, and the cavalry reinforcements can be reached in the starry night. Therefore, in this battle, it is necessary to annihilate the enemy in Hangzhou in Shaoxing, and to gain a foothold according to the danger to ensure the safety of the imperial tomb, otherwise he will walk on the front foot, and the back foot will have to be planed.

However, although there are hills around Shaoxing, it is not easy to resist the enemy by relying on this, and it is easy to be trapped by the enemy. The surrounding cities were razed to the ground after Meng Yuan invaded Jiangnan. According to the feedback of various intelligence, Zhao Yu found that the only thing available seemed to be the city of Hangzhou, I don't know if it was because the city wall was too strong to build and it was difficult to dismantle, or because Kublai Khan wanted to buy people's hearts, the city wall of Hangzhou was only partially damaged, and most of it was retained.

In addition, Hangzhou has the Qiantang River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, which has convenient water transportation and is close to the East China Sea, which can play the role of the Qiongzhou water army. In addition, Hangzhou has a developed economy, and by the Northern Song Dynasty, it was already known as the first state in the southeast where everything was rich, so it could provide sufficient food and salary for the expedition and a solid logistical support for the perseverance. Therefore, Zhao Yu planned to start the initial stage of the campaign around Hangzhou, but this was like pushing a domino, which triggered a series of chain reactions, and he did not dare to determine to what extent it would develop in the end.

However, it is not easy to capture the city of Hangzhou, as the old capital of the former dynasty, and it is an important place of finance and taxation, the Mengyuan court stationed four thousand households here, and Kublai Khan redivided the province last year, and integrated the Fujian Road, Liangzhejiang Road and Huaidong, Huaixi and other roads of the Song Dynasty into Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and moved the administrative office to Hangzhou, the military strength was adjusted, and the current Hangzhou Road town garrison army Wanhu Mansion has a total of four wings, respectively, Shangdu, Zhending, Yingzhou and Yidu 40,000 households, which also increases the difficulty of capturing Hangzhou.

According to the reconnaissance of the Affairs Bureau, Hangzhou Wanhu Mansion Dalu Huachi is the general Zhaoyong, Wanhu is the auxiliary general Zheng You, and the deputy Wanhu is the Xuanwu general Li Xiaolanxi. The number of the Yuan army was taken from the place of origin of the soldiers, and the Wanhu Mansion of the Shangdu New Army was subordinate to the Mengke Khan Department, and then followed the conquest of Ezhou, and then went south with the Boyan army, counting meritorious deeds, guarding Hangzhou, and managing the army of Wanhu by Bald Man; Zhending is the base of Shi Tianze's family, his father as early as the era of Genghis Khan, conquered the gold and broke the Song Dynasty and made great contributions, served as five roads and ten thousand households, the official position of the left prime minister, and also the old Han marquis, Zhending ten thousand households by its military group general Zhang Xingzu hereditary.

Yidu was originally Li Quan, Li Tan father and son's territory, the department is known for its courage and good fighting, after the failure of Li Tan's rebellion in the third year of Zhongtong, Yidu surrendered to the army and was killed by the Mongols, but there are also many survivors, after the outbreak of the battle of Xiangfan in the Song and Yuan dynasties, Mengyuan issued soldiers from all over the country again, and many returned to the old army and were re-recruited. As for the Yidu Wanhu, it is the Yidu New Army Wanhu Mansion derived from Zhang Hongfan's Yidu Zilai Army, and Liu Guojie serves as the Wanhu.

Yingzhou Wanhu was born in the Tang Dynasty, in Genghis Khan's second invasion of gold Di Shun led the township soldiers to Mongolia, many of them out of Xijing, Daimyo, Zhending, Hejian recruitment, and from Xingzhou, Weizhou, Xinweizhou, known as the leader of the seven roads of soldiers and horses, all of them are born in the north. With military merits, he moved to Hengzhou to pacify the envoy, the marshal to supervise the army, the governor of Zhongshan, and the marshal of Hengzhou.

After the destruction of the Jin, Mongolia began to divide a large number of Han army 10,000 households, and Di Shun became one of the Han princes who returned to Mongolia, and later moved to Yingzhou. His son Di Hun inherited ten thousand households, and once led his troops to cross the river and participate in the rebellion of Ningguo and Huizhou. This time, Meng Yuan reorganized the Jianghuai and Jiangxi marshal's mansions and recruited the army under the jurisdiction of the envoy, set up 37 wings and ten thousand households, and the soldiers of the current seven roads, all under the command of the whole set, the army was prosperous, and the garrison was ineffective.

In addition, Hangzhou also has a naval army of 10,000 households, and the Privy Council has allocated more than 2,000 soldiers to each of the 10,000 households under the jurisdiction of Jiangbei and Henan provinces, including Qi, Huang, Xin, Yang, Gaoyou, Zhen, Chu, and Hangzhou, to garrison Longwan and specialize in teaching and learning water warfare. According to the establishment of the Yuan army, there were more than 7,000 people in 10,000 households, 5,000 to 7,000 people in 10,000 households, and 3,000 to 5,000 people in the lower 10,000 households, so the total number of 40,000 government troops and naval troops was about 40,000.

It is not difficult to find that the Yuan army stationed in Hangzhou is slightly weak, except for the navy slightly weak, the other four are all strong troops in the founding period, and the generals are either Mongols or northerners, they swept the whole of China from north to south, among which there are many famous generals, and they have been on the battlefield for a long time. And Kublai Khan used them to suppress Hangzhou, which was intended to deter the people in the south of the Yangtze River, and also regarded Hangzhou as an important place.

To take Hangzhou to face such an arrogant general, Zhao Yu couldn't help but fight suddenly in his heart, although the main forces of his various departments have been redressed and have undergone strict training, but most of the actual battles they participated in were on the scale of divisions and brigades. However, this battle is to face a large-scale battle, whether he can defeat the enemy army in the deep hinterland of the enemy's territory is too uncertain, even if he wins a miserable victory, he has lost the ability to further occupy Jiangdong, and his years of hard work will be in vain, so that Zhao Yu is a little hesitant about his plan......
