After figuring out the situation and figuring out the current situation, Zhao ordered Jiang Cheng, the military squire who stayed in Qiongzhou, to be the general deployment of the Huguang Road to fight for thieves, and Han Zhen, the commander of the Privy Council, to lead the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth divisions to cross the sea to the north, gather troops all the way to Jingzhou, occupy this strategic place, and complete the strategic encirclement. At the same time, the 2nd Brigade of the Protector Army was ordered to help Huaiyong and Pinghai to capture the Mingzhou Mansion and occupy the Qingyuan Road, so as to avoid the threat of the eastern flank of Shaoxing.

After Ma Tingluan took over Shaoxing Mansion, he immediately began to rectify, and the current priority is to eradicate the remnants of Mengyuan, after all, the emperor is stationed here, if something goes wrong, he will die and cannot be redeemed. With the cooperation of the 1st Brigade of the Protector Army, a purge was immediately launched, and there were precedents in Guangzhou and Quanzhou to follow, first of all, a number of old officials were screened and replaced, and the business and travel tycoons related to Meng Yuan were arrested.

Shaoxing's proximity to Hangzhou is a prosperous place of commerce, and the money-hungry Mongols certainly don't have this piece of fat, and they have used their special status to set up businesses here, encroach on fertile land, and thus get rich. There are no less than thousands of Mongolians and Semu people gathered here, but they didn't expect that the sky changed overnight, and none of the ten people who could escape, and people could run, but they couldn't take away the savings of many years, and they were all seized and confiscated.

What Zhao didn't expect was that Ma Tingluan was gentle and elegant on weekdays, but he was also ruthless in killing people, even worse than himself. All the Mongol and Semu officials, from the judges to the "bullet-pressing" officials stationed in the townships, were executed, their family property confiscated, and their families were brought into the officials; and they were not polite to the officials of the Great Song Dynasty who rebelled in those years, whether you sacrificed the city because the people were slaughtered, or those who opened the city to welcome the thieves in accordance with the Empress Dowager's 'edict', and took them all; and the merchants and gentry who were also merciless to the enemy's merchants, the gentry, and all of them were wiped out.

Ma Tingluan's eyes were red, and Zhao Du couldn't stand it anymore. He has no opinion on killing the Mongols and their dog-legged people, these people are the beneficiaries of the Yuan Dynasty, and they are also the most staunch supporters, even if they surrender in the current situation where the enemy is strong and I am weak, they are vain to think that the snake will change, waiting for the day to change! Once you lose a little, you will jump out again to help the enemy, and you can simply kill it to avoid future troubles.

The former Song Dynasty officials who rebelled and took the initiative to help the enemy, Zhao did not have any mercy and were executed for the crime of treason, and the underage children and female dependents were enslaved as officials; As for the passive surrender to the enemy, only one of the accomplices will be investigated for the crime, and the family members will be exempted; Those who can take the initiative to sacrifice the city when the king arrives will be exempted from their previous sins, and they will be appointed according to their actions, and of course there are also those who use this to escape their crimes. This is different from the fight against Quanzhou back then, when it was a pole to walk, and now it is necessary to rely on it, so no one will surrender after killing them regardless of the details, which is not conducive to future operations, and they are still left alive under the trade-off.

As for the current puppet official, Zhao thinks that it is still based on his official reputation and public opinion, and after verification, he will be dealt with according to the law. As for the gentry and powerful in the countryside, it is also necessary to treat them differently, and the great crimes are extremely helpful to resolutely suppress the abusers and confiscate their property. Those who can safeguard the interests of the township and are anxious for justice and justice, especially those who oppose the Yuan Dynasty and help the Song Dynasty, should be praised and their rights and interests should be safeguarded, after all, it is up to these people to maintain the locality.

Then there are the merchants, and the business of the officials and merchants, the Mongols, and the Semu people is all taken over by the government; The extremely rich businessmen, Zhao thought that if these people did not collude with the government, it would definitely be difficult for them to get rich if they colluded with the Mongols, so they had to crack down on them and dig deep into their crimes, of course, in order to solve military expenses and expenditures; Small- and medium-sized merchants and craftsmen need not be held accountable, after all, the circulation of goods is inseparable from these people, and the future tax revenue will depend on them.

For the officials and the families of the soldiers who died in the country, they should be commended and compensated, priority should be given to the distribution of fields, tax reductions and exemptions, and those with meritorious service should be given priority to make up for the entry into the office; The common people are the basis of rule, and are also an important source of labor and soldiers, and taxes, and the rights and interests of those who have the property must be guaranteed, and the 'proletariat' must be given relief first, and then the situation should be sorted out, and the fields should be distributed rationally, so that the cultivators will have their land and the dwellers will have their houses. But Zhao knew that these tasks were extremely cumbersome, and they could not be completed in a few days, and the current situation did not allow it, but posture was a must.

Taxation is the foundation of the country, Zhao is very cautious about this, after all, the war for the restoration of the country has just begun, and the war will last for several years, or even more than ten years, and no one can say when it will end. However, the war is not only the cost of manpower, but also requires huge financial support, which cannot be satisfied by only confiscating enemy funds and seizing on the battlefield. Therefore, he could not and did not dare to reduce or reduce taxes without authorization, and naturally he could not completely restore the old system, so he could only temporarily reduce some unreasonable taxes and miscellaneous taxes to appease the people, and re-determine it after consulting with the ministers after the situation was stabilized.

At this time, Zhao also found that his policy reserves for the battle of restoration were too small, it was difficult to deal with the new situation and new situation, and everything still needed to be improved, and Shaoxing, as a more representative city, decided to use this place as a test field for development and improvement. Therefore, a number of edicts were issued in succession according to the situation, and the implementation of the situation was tracked and summarized, so that a complete set of policies could be formed, so that there could be rules to follow in the future.

At present, there is another problem that needs to be solved, that is, it is now late autumn, and the south of the Yangtze River is no longer divided into four seasons than Qiongzhou, and a single set of clothes can fool a year. The winter here is still very cold, and a single set of clothes cannot survive the winter, so it is necessary to prepare winter clothes at present, and this number is not small, according to one person, at least 200,000 sets are needed.

After Zhao consulted with Ma Tingluan, Xu Zongren and Chen Zhongwei, they also thought that it would be no further ado. At this time, the army was fighting outside, and the distance in Qiongzhou was too far, and the winter had passed, and the other base areas had limited financial resources to complete such a huge task. Only Shaoxing is a stable place, and this place has been a traditional area for sericulture since ancient times, with a huge annual silk production and an important source of taxes.

After the capture of Shaoxing, a large amount of silk was accumulated in the treasury, and a lot of it was copied, and now it is also the harvest season of silkworm cocoons, and there is no shortage of materials for making cotton clothes. However, the capital is still in Qiongzhou, this time there is a shortage of manpower, fortunately, Shaoxing is much more developed than Qiongzhou, and the processing industry is also stronger I don't know how many times. Zhao already had a precedent in Qiongzhou for the marketization of baggage, and immediately handed over the local workshops in the form of subcontracting, and finally solved the problem with money.

And this incident also reminded Zhao that now the army is fighting outside, and the amount of gunpowder consumed every day is not small, and it is no longer realistic to transfer thousands of miles from Qiongzhou, especially in the trade wind season, it is more difficult to ensure that the transportation is carried out on time, and it will definitely delay the fighters for a long time, so it is urgent to establish a base in the later period. He also ordered Zhou Xiang to divide the gunpowder workshop and the gun and ammunition workshop into two, and came to Shaoxing to establish a new workshop with the next batch of baggage, so as to prepare for the coming war.

Zhao had a headache about the cumbersome government affairs, and now these things are pressed on him and the three old men, which really annoys him, and everything can't help but worry about it, but Ying Jieyan and Liu Huang stayed in Qiongzhou, and Wen Tianxiang was in Jiangxi. In front of him, only Lu Xiufu, who had been floating on the sea for a month, led the retinue team recently, and the work that could be done was equivalent to the two of them falling apart, and he was not good at military affairs, but he commanded the capture of Jiankang and annihilated the Zhending army, but he did the work of the logistics minister, not to mention how awkward.

With this thought, there is a 'scapegoat', and the two sides are in the adjustment stage before the war, Zhao took advantage of this gap to summon Lu Xiufu to lead the ministers to come to Shaoxing to discuss matters, and transfer the fifth division of the forbidden army to assist in the defense. Ma Tingluan and the others were originally too busy to touch the ground, and there was a shortage of manpower at present, and the war had reached a critical moment, so they should have held a meeting to discuss the next plan, so they did not object, let alone peeked into the little emperor's thoughts......

After receiving the edict of the little emperor on the tenth day of September, Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie led a group of ministers and the fifth division to Shaoxing by boat, and the army was stationed outside the city. Zhao had already waited in the second hall, and after the ministers saw it, and after a few words of greeting, Lin Zhiwu introduced the situation of annihilating the enemy's Shangdu New Army, Yidu Army and forcing the Yingzhou Army to surrender, Ma Tingluan said about the affairs of Shaoxing Mansion, and Zhao reported the latest domestic and foreign events that he was aware of.

"Your Majesty, the current situation is extremely favorable to our DPRK, our army should take this opportunity to launch an all-out attack, and strive to complete the control of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River before the battle for the throne of the puppet Yuan, so that we can resist the enemy by natural danger, stabilize Jiangdong, and then pacify the entire Jiangnan!" Lu Xiufu said first.

"What Lu Xiang said is exact, but it is difficult for us to make an accurate judgment on when the dust will fall in the battle for the succession of the pseudo-Yuan, but the rainy season is coming to an end, and the water surface of the Yangtze River will narrow after entering the dry period, which is convenient for the enemy army in the north of the Yangtze River to cross the river, and it is also conducive to the Yuan army's battle, so I think that the task of controlling the important towns along the Yangtze River should be completed before the arrival of winter before November. Of course, the longer Kublai Khan's wolf cubs pinched the better, they grabbed power, let's take advantage of the chaos to grab territory! Zhao Xiao said with a smile.

"Hehe, Your Majesty is right, winter is conducive to the enemy's battle, if our army can't control the Yangtze River, there will be endless disasters!" Lu Xiufu also smiled.

"Your Majesty, at present, our army brigade has been wandering in the open sea waiting for fighters, and has been at sea for more than a month, and now the grain and grass are about to run out, and the sergeants only rely on dry food to satisfy their hunger, and if this continues, I am afraid that it will not only affect morale, but also reduce physical strength, and the minister thinks that we should start the encirclement and annihilation of the enemy's Zhending army as soon as possible, and take advantage of the victory to capture Jiankang!" Zhang Shijie said with a sad face at this time.

"What the cardinal commander said is right, tens of thousands of people are floating on the sea, supplies cannot be replenished, lack of meat, fruits and vegetables, and physical strength is difficult to maintain, so it is time to move troops as soon as possible, but the Zhending army seems to be still hesitating and refusing to go to Pingjiang!" Zhao nodded, but sighed again.

"Your Majesty, our troops are sufficient, we can storm Jiankang and force their naval army to fight a decisive battle with us on the river!" Zhang Shijie suggested.

"No, Jiankang City is strong and easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Zhending Army is formed by the northerners to be good at defending the city, if they defend the city to the death. The offensive may turn into a protracted war, holding back our forces; If we give up, we will leave a gap in the line of defense and become a nail in our hearts. In addition, our troops seem to be sufficient, but there are still many important towns along the river to capture one by one, and the progress of other roads is slow, even the most powerful Huai'en army has not yet reached Ezhou, so our troops are still very tight. Zhao shook his head and said.

In addition, defending the Yangtze River inevitably relied on the naval army, and the enemy's naval army suffered heavy losses during the Japanese campaign, and its Jingxiang Water Division, Huguang Water Division, and Jianghuai Water Division were basically lost, and the coastal Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and Guangzhou Water Divisions also lost their combat effectiveness under the repeated blows of our naval army. Now its only capable division is the new naval army stationed in Longwan and the naval army of Wanhu Mansion of the Grain Road, if we can't annihilate it, it will cause trouble for future defense, but if it does not leave the Yangtze River, it can flee to Jiangbei at any time. ”

"Your Majesty, the enemy just refuses to send troops, do we have to wait forever? It's really not good, can we fight Hangzhou first and mobilize the enemy army! Zhang Shijie said with a worried face.

"Hangzhou is now under our encirclement, and the army is empty, only the baggage and remaining guard of the Yidu army and some village soldiers and archers who have just been recruited, take it like a bag to get something, and the enemy army also knows it, but it is unwilling to urge the Zhending army to go south to reinforce, and even if we capture Hangzhou, we need a large number of troops to defend, obviously to disperse our forces!" Zhao Yan said.

"Your Majesty, wouldn't the delay in the Zhending Army also make us very passive!" This is Lu Xiufu interjected.

"It's going to move, they can't afford to wait!" Zhao smiled and said.

"Why is Your Majesty so sure?" Lu Xiufu looked at His Majesty's confident appearance, but he was still suspicious.

"Zuo Xiang, in fact, Your Majesty has already dug a pit and is waiting for them to jump!" This is Ni Liang frowned and explained, "Your Majesty has already ordered Dong Yicheng's troops to attack Liujiagang and rob their grain stocks during the Battle of Huling, and the 1st Marine Brigade took advantage of the Yidu Army to reinforce the Shangdu Army to occupy Pingjiang. ”

"So what?" Lu Xiufu pondered for a moment, but still couldn't understand the mystery, and asked with a frown.

"Lu Xiang, Ni is stupid, let's explain!" Zhao looked at the others and stared at them with big eyes, if he let Ni Liang say more, it would make everyone embarrassed, and then he took the words.

"Your Majesty, please clear up your doubts!" Lu Xiufu and others said.

"Liujiagang is the hub of the southern grain to the north, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal is also the Cao transportation channel, and our occupation of these two passages is equivalent to stucking all the roads of the southern grain to the north, and this is related to the jobs of all the people in the north of the Mengyuan River, and it has nothing to do with who ascends to the throne, so they would rather lose Hangzhou, but also keep these two lifelines, and they can't afford to wait for the trade winds, so I conclude that they will definitely send troops." 2k reading web
