The inside news released by Zhao Yu made the faces of several governors change several times, and they knew that if this matter was not revealed, it would definitely cause a commotion in the court, after all, the concept of 'the death of the king and the minister' had infiltrated into the bones of every scholar. If www.biquge.info the emperor's tomb is stolen and excavated, it will not only be a humiliation for the royal family, but also a shame for the entire scholar group, the entire country and nation, which they cannot afford.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think should be done?" Zhao Hao's face was heavy. According to his original intention, he didn't want to leak this matter in advance, but wanted to wait for the imperial tomb to really be stolen and force himself and everyone to a dead end, and then raise troops directly in the name of cutting down the unreasonable. But after thinking about it, it's still not proper, there is no impermeable wall in the world, once a little wind is revealed, then the throne itself is difficult to sit on steadily, it's better to blow a wind to them, in case of failure, someone can take the blame.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that without further ado, he should raise troops to go to Huiji to expel the thieves and protect the tomb of the first emperor." Lu Xiufu got up first and saluted.

"Oh!" Zhao Yu was a little surprised, he never thought that Lu Xiufu would propose to send troops first. In terms of personal character, he is calm and conservative; From the point of view of officialdom practice, he is the first assistant and should not be the first to express his opinion in order to listen to the opinions of the people, so as to avoid an excessively drastic situation that cannot be ended. And he thought that Lu Xiufu had no way out, if he had an ambiguous attitude and caused the imperial tomb to be stolen and excavated, he would have to take the blame and resign regardless of whether he supported sending troops to protect the tomb or not. Of course, there is also an attitude problem, the emperor's ancestral grave is going to be dug up, if he doesn't express his position, it is no different from looking for death.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal. Digging graves and humiliating the ancestors, this is the evil act of human and god public anger, the demon monk actually dug up the king's tomb, coveting the tombs of the first emperor, this is a heinous crime, must not be ignored! Wen Tianxiang also got up and played.

"Exactly, the minister also seconded it!" Ying Jieyan and Liu Huang both got up and saluted.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to personally lead an army to take the Huiji, protect the tomb of the first emperor, and dedicate the head of the demon monk to the front of the first emperor's tomb!" Zhang Shijie also hurriedly got up, and Shi Lilang said.

"All Aiqing, they are really loyal and righteous people, I am very relieved!" Zhao Yu raised his hand to let everyone get up without being polite, and nodded with great satisfaction. But this time it is really gratifying, although everyone will quarrel over political affairs on weekdays, but at the moment, everyone's opinions remain the same, and one by one is not ambiguous. But he also knows that the current public opinion on the construction of the temple has been stirred, and whoever disagrees is not only an enemy of himself, but an enemy of the world.

"It is the responsibility of the ministers to be loyal to the people and the people, and now the tomb of the first emperor is trapped in the enemy's territory, which is the sin of the ministers!" Lu Xiufu said with a guilty face.

"Lu Xiang doesn't have to be too harsh, the top priority is how to deal with it!" Zhao Yu waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that he could follow the example of Meng Zhongxiang to pay tribute to the tombs of the first emperors of Gongxian County, send strange soldiers to raid Huiji, kill the demon monk Yang Lian Zhenjia, and quickly withdraw after repairing the tombs!" At this time, Wen Tianxiang played.

"Sizzle...... Inappropriate! Zhao Yu listened to it for a while, frowned. He knew that Meng Zhongxiang mentioned by Wen Tianxiang was the famous general Meng Hui of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Zhongxiang was his nickname, but the situation was no longer what it used to be.

At that time, in the second year of Duanping, the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia joined forces to destroy Jin and captured the last fortress of the Jin State, Caizhou. The commander of the Song army on the side of the Mongol-Song alliance was Meng Hui, who brought the corpse of the Jin Emperor back to China. At the same time, after the destruction of the Jin Kingdom, the Southern Song Dynasty thought that it was finally a shame for Jingkang, so they decided to sacrifice to the first emperor and inform the ancestors and ancestors that the revenge of destroying the country was finally avenged. Everyone knows that this is actually a 'face project', but they can't disagree.

But the problem comes again, the Northern Song Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum is located in Gongxian County, Henan, which has long been an enemy-occupied area, and no one has cared about it for a hundred years. At this time, the Mongolian regime began to fight for the Henan area, and the situation was fierce, there were already traces of Mongolian soldiers in Tongguan and Henan in Shaanxi, and the imperial court appointed to worship the imperial mausoleum, Zhu Yangzu, the envoy of Taichang Temple, and Lin Tuo, who watched the class, were very afraid of the Mongolian soldiers, and felt that the risk was too great, and they did not dare to go to the location of the imperial tomb. Meng Heng, who was very familiar with the military geography of the north, calmly analyzed the situation and believed that the Mongolian soldiers would not be able to reach the location of the imperial mausoleum in less than ten days when they came from Huaidong.

And Meng Heng also knew that worshipping the Northern Song Dynasty Emperor's Mausoleum was a matter of form rather than content, so if you want to save face, you have to consider safety, and flash mob is the most reliable way. So he selected cavalry, took the imperial envoys to the imperial tomb day and night, arrived at the imperial tomb within ten days, and calmly withdrew after a grand sacrifice. A few days later, the Mongol soldiers arrived. When he did this, the court was satisfied, the envoy was not at risk, and he did not invest too much money to take the lives of the soldiers because he took care of the face of the Song royal family, and everyone was happy.

"The minister thinks that the right minister can't discuss it!" Zhang Shijie listened, hesitated and still stood up and said, "When Meng Shuai's light soldiers went to his hometown to worship, the Jurchens were destroyed, and the Tartars did not arrive. But now the south of the Yangtze River has fallen, the Tartars have been in business for a long time, and they will live in the hinterland, only a hundred miles away from Lin'an, and there are enemy troops stationed there, and there are enemy naval forces to block each other. I'm afraid that the light soldiers will not only not be able to kill the demon monk, but they may fall into it! ”

"What Zhang Shushuai said is exactly what the two sides are talking about, even if they send heavy troops to accompany them, it is difficult to deal with them, and the light troops going to the mouth are tantamount to pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth and throwing themselves into the net!" Ying Jieyan also disagreed with Wen Tianxiang's proposal, thinking that it was too risky.

"Exactly, if you go with light soldiers, even if you kill the demon monk and repair the tombs, it will be difficult to stay for a long time. The Tartars can still send others to steal and excavate the imperial tomb, how will we deal with it? Liu Huang also disagreed, which could only be regarded as a slight gesture, but it was not conducive to solving the matter in the long run. You can't dig it once, let's send someone to fill it in once, and the Mongols are not stupid, they always allow you to succeed again and again.

"Well, it's my misconsideration, can the cardinal have a good plan?" Wen Tianxiang thought about it too simply, the two places were not only thousands of miles apart, but also had to cross the sea to fight, and there were fewer people to deal with it at all. He turned to Zhang Shijie and asked.

"I thought that if the crisis was solved, I would use heavy troops to occupy Lin'an, and it would be a long-term plan to run Jiangdong!" Zhang Shijie said.

"Isn't it easy to regain a foothold of Lin'an?" Lu Xiufu frowned and said.

"Zuo Xiang, the current thief chief Kublai Khan has been killed for a short time, and his death is an internal strife, which is a good opportunity for us to send troops......" Zhang Shijie said half a sentence but was interrupted by Lu Xiufu.

"The cardinal commander must not say anything, who said that the thief chief Kublai Khan will die?" Lu Xiufu said with a calm face.

"This is what His Majesty said in front of the generals, but it is not my false words, is it ...... Don't you all know? Zhang Shijie hurriedly waved his hand to explain, but seeing that the other people were at a loss, he lowered his voice and said, as if he was afraid that the little emperor would hear the blame.

"Your Majesty, this is true!" Lu Xiufu saluted upward.

"Hehe, this matter is serious, it's just that I drank too much wine that day, and I forgot to tell you for a while!" Zhao Hao smiled awkwardly.

"Your Majesty is still young, how can you drink!" Ying Jieyan listened to it and said with a gloomy face.

"Don't worry, sir, I just drank a few glasses when I was happy, who would have thought that my alcohol consumption was so poor, and I would never dare to drink it again in the future!" Zhao Hao hurriedly admitted his mistake. And secretly grateful in his heart, the old man was clearly reprimanding himself, but in fact he was secretly relieving himself, thinking about such a major event, when the court ruled that he didn't know about it, but a group of warriors got the news first, wouldn't it provoke contradictions between the two sides, and he would also be questioned about his distrust of several important ministers. But the old man cleared everything in a few words, and he, the most trusted master of the emperor, didn't know, so don't worry about the drunk little emperor.

"Your Majesty, can you borrow a map?" Everyone wanted to find out why His Majesty was convinced that Kublai Khan was about to die, but Zhang Shijie played out of place and wanted to continue to explain his thoughts.

"Why not, why don't you go to the study where it is the most complete, and you don't have to look for it again!" Zhao Yu said and left his seat.

Everyone followed the little emperor to move to the temporary renovated large study, and when everyone looked at the books and maps in the room, they knew that it was not a vacation, but a big thing. The little yellow door who served in it was instructed to immediately find out the map and spread it on a large table, and then flattened it with a paperweight, and everyone gathered around.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we can take the sea route to the proper way, one can avoid fighting the enemy forces along the way, and the other can also achieve the effect of a surprise attack. Therefore, the advance sailor went straight to the mouth of the Qiantang River to annihilate the enemy army stationed in Longwan first! Zhang Shijie pointed to the map.

"Does the cardinal want to take Lin'an first? The city there is towering, and there are heavy troops, and it is not a short time to go down! Wen Tianxiang said.

"Don't worry, my attack on the Qiantang River is just a trick to lure the enemy, so that the enemy will not dare to leave Lin'an without permission. At this time, the first army can be sent to attack Dusong Pass from the flank, trap the enemy in Lin'an, and prevent the enemy from reinforcing it. At this time, you can send troops to meet the Ji, and then besiege and kill the demon monks and sacrifice to the tombs! Zhang Shijie said.

"The intention of the cardinal commander is to fight a decisive battle with the enemy in Lin'an City and annihilate the army stationed in the city!" Lu Xiufu asked.

"Exactly!" Zhang Shijie nodded.

"It's not proper, Lin'an City is stationed in the Mongolian army of 40,000 households and a naval army of 10,000 households, if you want to attack Lin'an, you have to exhaust the whole army, then Qiongzhou will have no soldiers to fight, once you lose, there will be no way to retreat, you can't take risks!" Lu Xiufu said.

"Exactly, Lin'an City has a large population and rich materials, if it closes the city without fighting, it is not impossible to hold on for more than a year!" Wen Tianxiang also objected.

"It is difficult to break through Lin'an City, but we occupy Lin'an, but we can revitalize the whole game, but how to win the maximum result with the least loss is the most important!" Zhao Yu said at this time.

"How did Your Majesty plan it?" Others may not be able to see it, but Ying Jieyan can see that most of the maps hanging on the wall are from Jiangsu and Zhejiang Road, and Xiao Huangmen can quickly find the map of Lin'an, which shows that it is often used, so he can do it, so he knows that the attack on Lin'an is already in the plan of the little emperor, and he is just waiting for a good opportunity.

"I thought that since we were crusading against the thieves and digging up the Emperor's Tomb to raise troops, we could start the first phase of the battle with this as the center!" Zhao Yu said, "Shushuai Zhang's proposal to march troops from the sea and send the advance naval army to occupy the mouth of the river and annihilate the enemy's Longwan naval army is very good and necessary, so it will be invincible." I thought that I didn't have to take Lin'an first, but first took Shaoxing to protect the imperial mausoleum, and the enemy would definitely send a large army to crusade after learning about it, so as to contain part of the enemy's forces and try to annihilate it! ”

"Your Majesty's intention is to lure the snake out of the hole, lure the enemy out of the city, so as to annihilate the enemy, and reduce the pressure during the siege!" Ying Jieyan said.

"Yes, after consuming most of the strength of the Lin'an defenders, we will occupy the city again and cause an attack. If the enemy is coming from all sides, we can use the dense water network to quickly maneuver and concentrate our forces to annihilate the enemy one by one, so that we can disrupt the enemy's deployment in Jiangdong and change the situation in Jiangdong! Zhao Yu said.

"Your Majesty's idea is good, but the pattern is a little small, if the enemy concentrates several troops around to attack Lin'an, there is a risk of being overwhelmed, and it is difficult to revitalize the entire Jiangdong." Ying Jieyan said.

"Sir's intention is to open up another battlefield outside of Lin'an to relieve the pressure on Lin'an!" Zhao Yu thought for a while.

"Your Majesty's word is right!" Ying Jieyan nodded and smiled.

"I have also considered it, but the important towns in Jiangdong are nothing more than Lin'an and Jiankang, but if you want to capture Jiankang, I am afraid that it will be more difficult than Lin'an!" Zhao said that he was very aware of the strategic importance of Jiankang, which was an important town in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and if it could not be controlled, the enemy's troops from the north of the Yangtze River could continue to reinforce Jiangnan, but it would also be difficult to develop upstream, and it would be difficult to achieve the separation of Jiangdong.

"Your Majesty can attack Lin'an from the east and from the west, why can't you repeat the old tricks to capture Jiankang?" Ying Jieyan asked rhetorically.

"Having said that, to lure out the land of Jiankang, the bait must be large enough, or its value is significant!" Zhao Yu frowned and looked at the map, and his finger suddenly clicked on it, "What do you think of this place, sir?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty is really discerning, capturing Liujiagang is equivalent to choking Jiangbei's grain bags, no matter who will not give up!" Liu Huang and Ying Jieyan glanced at each other, and then turned to the little emperor.

"Liujiagang?!" The others were stunned, they didn't understand why they had chosen there.

"Here's the thing......" Zhao Yu explained when he saw that a few people were not clear.

After Kublai Khan succeeded to the throne, he moved the capital to Beijing in the ninth year of the Yuan Dynasty and named Dadu. However, he also presented himself with an extremely difficult problem: at the beginning, the capital of the country that ruled the north and south of the country, the population skyrocketed from 100,000 to 800,000, and the most urgent and difficult problem to solve was the problem of "eating". At that time, rice and grain were used as a slug to support officials and the army, and no food was equivalent to no salary. The annual grain income of the Great Yuan Dynasty is more than 12 million stones, of which 10 million stones come from Jiangnan.

There are things, but how to transport a huge amount of grain to the capital? This made Kublai Khan quite mad. On the one hand, he urgently built a post road transportation network centered on Dadu and spread all over the country; On the one hand, he ordered Guo Shoujing, a water conservancy expert, to dredge the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and dig the Tonghui River in the capital, so that goods from the south could be transported directly to the pond outside the palace wall. However, with such a big move, the grain transferred into Beijing every year was only two or three million stones, and it was difficult to fill the belly of the lion and tiger, so he had to find another way......
