Zhao Yu thought that he had to do it, he knew that this thing should be done sooner rather than later, and it was not possible to complete a short period of time to make an industry that was not valued by others. It will take at least three or four years from the selection and breeding of cotton to the dissemination and maturity of planting technology, and then to the deep processing and application of cotton to meet the needs of the military. So he drafted an edict overnight, ordering Lu Xiufu, who stayed in the capital, to preside over the meeting to discuss the expansion and encouragement of cotton planting, and to recruit the people of Qiongzhou who had textile technology to come to Beijing to spread their arts.

At the same time, Zhao Yu also ordered Zhou Yi, a waiter in the Ministry of Works, to collect textile tools, imitate them, and improve and study them. Under the superintendent, a textile school was set up to recruit students and train craftsmen. And put the preparation for the construction of textile workshops on the agenda, and strive to be put into operation in time after the first season of cotton harvest, summarize experience for large-scale production, compile processes, and train skilled workers.

'Knock, knock, knock...... Zhao Yu ordered Wang De to stamp the letter with a seal, seal it with fire paint, and send a messenger to Lin'an as soon as possible. He had just finished breakfast and wanted to get some sleep, but he heard the sound of war drums, and it was like a burst, and he heard that this was not the drum sound of the generals, but a warning.

"Your Majesty, the defenders of Yangzhou City are out and are killing in the direction of our battalion. Ni Dushuai has already sent the general to meet the battle in front of the camp, and sent people to the camp to report to His Majesty! At this time, Tan Fei entered the account and said.

"Well, I know, let it command and deal with it, and report the battle situation at any time!" Zhao Yu nodded, took a towel to wipe his hands, and said, his face was calm and did not show the slightest nervousness or excitement.

"Yes, the subordinates obey the order, and report to Ni Dushuai immediately!" Tan Fei saluted.

"At the moment of the great enemy, how can Commander Tan not be armed?" At this time, Wang Yinglin hurriedly entered the tent and saw Tan Fei outside, and stopped him unhappily.

"Governor Wang, don't worry, this big camp is impregnable, and it will not be easy for the enemy army to break through the village!" Tan Fei Shili explained.

"Your Majesty's safety is in your hands, how can you be careless, and this time when the enemy army came not to compare with the front, it was the elite to the fullest, there were 30,000 soldiers, and the Yangzhou capital was personally supervised by Wanhubadu. But you are so negligent, in case of failure, how can we have the face to return to Beijing! Wang Yinglin saw that what he said was relaxed, and he was even more anxious and angry.

"Governor Wang, for the sake of the generals, you must be calm, and you are so panicked that you will shake the hearts of the army." Zhao Yu asked Xiao Huangmen to remove the dishes and chopsticks, interjected with a smile, and waved his hand to signal Tan Fei to return to the front.

"Your Majesty, the minister has lost his honor. But at the moment of the great enemy, please avoid it for Your Majesty to be in order! Only then did Wang Yinglin let Tan Fei go and stepped forward to salute.

"The camp is my station, the center, and the place where the officers and men of the army look. If the camp is moved, it will make the soldiers mistakenly think that I am cowardly before fighting, which will affect morale. And as Tan Fei said, it is wishful thinking that the Yangzhou defenders want to shake our army's camp, and they are afraid that they will hit their heads and bleed. Zhao Yu said.

"What Your Majesty said is true, but the minister thinks that this time the thief army is menacing, and the ambition is bound to win, and it is safer for the holy car to move to the water village!" Wang Yinglin thought about it and still refused to compromise.

"Governor Wang, I will not go to Shuizhai, and I will go to watch the enemy in person to boost the army's prestige!" Zhao Yu didn't want to face the enemy, but handed over Ni Liang to take full command, but his repeated requests to leave aroused his anger, but he wanted to come to the battle in person.

Wang Yinglin listened to the black line, and secretly regretted in his heart, he wanted to persuade the emperor to move the camp to make a fool of himself, but he didn't expect to be in the battle in person. Where do you dare to say it again, it can only be persuaded with good words to make the little emperor give up the idea of leaving the camp, but he does not dare to stay away, and accompanies him to the watchtower in the camp to watch the enemy's formation. Zhao Yu actually realized that when he became the emperor, he lost the opportunity to fight, so he went down the slope and obeyed his advice and led a group of guards to the watchtower.

With the continuous expansion and consolidation of the camp, the facilities in the camp have gradually improved. A tall watchtower was also built in the camp to check the enemy's situation, which also had the meaning of monitoring the movements of the army. Before the arrival of the little emperor and his entourage, their own guards surrounded the watchtower on three sides with felt, added a roof for cold protection, and left only the north side for watching the enemy. The furnishings are also very simple, only a few beds and a low table, and a brazier. Only an imperial flag fluttering in the wind shows that this is the place where the Great Song Emperor is located.

Zhao Yu went upstairs and stood still, picked up the binoculars and looked north, only to see his own side lined up about 200 steps in front of the camp, and all kinds of military flags were chaotic. The three infantry brigades of the Imperial Front Protector Army took the first brigade as the central army, the fourth brigade and the fifth brigade were divided into the left and right flanks, and the artillery brigade was accordingly deployed in the middle of the central army to face the enemy head-on; The cavalry brigade was deployed on the right flank, and the rangers were sent to the front of the formation to contain the enemy's advance and gain time for their own formation; On the left flank, the naval army provided artillery cover to prevent the enemy from attacking the left flank infantry formation.

Looking further, the banner of Marshal Meng is the name of Badu, and there are two departments of Meng Ge Wanhu Mansion and Left Hand Wanhu Mansion in the battle, which are the concentration of all the elite soldiers in Yangzhou City, about 30,000 people, and the cavalry army has 20,000 people. Thousands of horses galloped, sonic boom in the field, and the rising smoke and dust covered the sun. They marched two miles in front of the formation and began to line up, the cavalry was divided into two wings, and the Chinese army had archers to shoot at the position.

As the arrays of the two sides gradually took shape, the rangers cruising in front of the formation also returned to their respective formations, the sound of war drums and trumpets gradually subsided, and the battlefield fell into calm for a while. As the saying goes, the array of ten thousand armies is overwhelming, and at the moment, nearly 70,000 people on both sides lined up in formation, stretching for ten miles to confront each other, the scene is enough to shock people's hearts, and it also makes people's blood boil.

Seeing this, Zhao Hao just pouted and smiled, and the enemy army was in a decisive battle posture with him, and it seemed that he was really forced to be in a hurry. When the two armies were engaged in an offensive and defensive battle around Yangzhou City, he ordered the additional Second Army, Third Division and Fourth Division to capture Zhenzhou City and Taizhou City, which were empty, respectively, to ensure the security of the east and west directions of Daying. In this way, it also hurt Du Ge and Tuo Liedu, the two cities are their ten thousand household residences, and they are also the foundation of their lives.

Now that the Song army has taken the nest, Brother Du is deeply aware of this, it is really the Song army that does not leave any hair in transit, and the population, livestock and property must be lost. And it is tantamount to depriving them of the foundation of replenishing food, grass and soldiers, which can be said to touch their fundamental interests, so of course they have to work hard. But this is what Zhao Yu wants, only if he hurts them, he will be in a hurry to relieve the siege, thus prompting Yuxi Timur to take a risk.

'Woo woo ......' The horn of the Meng Yuan camp suddenly sounded, breaking the brief silence on the battlefield, and a detachment of only a few people galloped out.

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect these Di Yi to actually know the gift to the teacher!" Wang Yinglin said suddenly.

"A gift to the teacher? What is a teacher? Zhao Yu turned his face to look at Wang Yinglin, only to see that his face was pale, he didn't know whether he was scared or frozen, and he had a smile on his face, but it made people feel very reluctant. He knew that those who had never been in battle, the first time they were often shocked by the solemn atmosphere on the battlefield, their legs trembled when they were frightened, and it was common for them to pee their pants, although Wang Yinglin's appearance of pretending to be calm was ridiculous, it was understandable.

"Your Majesty, it is impossible to know when the gift of 'to the teacher' began, but it has been recorded in the "Zhou Li Xia Guan" that the position of 'Huanren' is the first task of the teacher." Wang Yinglin Shili explained, "What is a teacher? Zheng Xuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty commented: To the teacher, to his will to fight. The ancients will fight, and first make the brave man commit the enemy. ”

"A gift to the teacher, is it a fighting general?!" Zhao Yu said with some surprise. In his previous life, the most attractive thing was the fight scene between military generals, so much so that "who dares to fight me for 300 rounds" became a mantra in his childhood, and the mode of war in which the battle will be won or lost constitutes his basic understanding of ancient warfare. But after experiencing the war in this era, I naturally understood that the concept at that time was really wrong, although the brave martial arts of the generals were useful, they did not play a major role, and famous generals such as Han Xin, Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi and others were not known for their martial arts, and he had never seen the fighting generals rumored on the battlefield.

"You can say the same!" Wang Yinglin hesitated and said, "Your Majesty also knows that since the Shang Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period, chariot warfare is the main mode of warfare, and the multiplication is the basic unit of the army organization at this time, including the three armor soldiers on the chariot, a certain number of foot soldiers following the chariot, and the corresponding logistics vehicles and personnel. The three armor soldiers in the car, led by the left rook Zuo, are good at archery; The weapons on the right side of the chariot are long weapons such as gee and spears, which are mainly used for melee combat, and at the same time clear obstacles for the chariot; In the center is the one who controls the warhorse. ”

"When the enemy is engaged, the emperor must drive the chariot as fast as possible, so that the banner on the chariot will seem to be toppled; The left side of the chariot shoots the enemy with sharp arrows, and when he arrives at the enemy camp, he temporarily controls the reins in place of the coachman, who jumps out of the chariot and leisurely straightens the horses. On the other hand, the warrior on the right side of the rook quickly rushed into the enemy camp, killing the enemy and cutting off the left ear, or taking the prisoner alive. After completing the task, the three quickly drove away. ”

"Hehe, this kind of gift to the teacher, I have never seen it when I am in battle!" Zhao Hao smiled. However, he also knew from his description that it was a very dangerous move to send a division, in the event of a war, after the chariot charged and tore through the enemy's formation, the infantry followed closely to fight, but when the division was reached, only the three armor soldiers on the chariot and no infantry participated, because it was not an informal battle.

Obviously, the chances of success are not high because the chances of success are not only for the commander to retreat after penetrating deep into the enemy camp, but also to achieve a symbolic victory - the enemy's left ear or a living prisoner, but once the division is successful, it will deal a greater blow to the morale of the enemy army, so as to gain an advantage in the upcoming war. According to this understanding, the purpose of the division is not to kill the enemy, but to show bravery, boost morale, and show the spirit of battle. And Zhao Yu is also telling the truth, he has been fighting for more than ten years and has been on the battlefield no less than 100 times, but he has never seen the challenge of this situation......
