Chapter 423: Betting
The power to establish, mobilize, and command the Song Dynasty's armies was in the direct hands of the emperor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The military power under it is divided into three parts, the privy council is in charge of the military register, the tiger charm, the three yamen are in charge of the army, and the ministers are in charge of the army, and each has its own defense. The division of powers and the maintenance of upper and lower levels made the military power highly concentrated in the emperor. Although the Privy Council is the highest military organ of the central government, in charge of military affairs, military orders, and strategic decision-making, military operations are generally under the orders of the emperor. Therefore, theoretically speaking, even if Zhang Shijie is a privy envoy, he can mobilize a soldier without the emperor's order.
However, this is an extraordinary period, the emperor has not yet been in power, and Zhang Shijie can mobilize the army under the pretense of the empress dowager's decree. However, he forgot that the emperor had taken advantage of his detachment from the brigade last night to take back his military power, reappointed the leaders of the various armies, and was recognized by Lu Xiufu and others, which was actually equivalent to directly controlling the army beyond the Privy Council, and he could not mobilize the army without a new will. Now Zhao Yu sent people to send people to order him to return to the army, and he has given him face, but he still drove the envoys in the name of the order of the Queen Mother, which is a crime.
"The last will obey! All units of the Huai Army will return to Hong Kong immediately, and there must be no mistakes, and those who violate them will not be pardoned! Lu Shicheng was ordered by the emperor to temporarily manage the Huai army, and seeing that His Majesty was there, he was also bold at the moment, and he bowed down on another warship to receive the order.
"You...... Your Majesty, wait! Zhang Shijie saw that the little emperor was serious, and his heart was also very anxious, he knew that if he led the troops back to Hong Kong at this moment, he would definitely lose face, and Lu Shicheng, who was not long-eyed, actually obeyed his orders, so he wanted to scold loudly. can think that the emperor is still in front of him, and doing so by himself is tantamount to openly resisting the decree, and he can't help but lose his temper at the moment, so he can only ask for instructions.
"Taifu, please!" Zhao Hao was secretly amused, he had done it with the surname Zhang in the past two days, and he had just persuaded Zhang Hongfan to death last night, but today he was going to live, and now that people are kind and good-looking, he can't hold it anymore, and he said with his head bowed.
"Your Majesty, the enemy army is newly defeated, Guangzhou is empty, and it is time to find a gap to capture Guangzhou as a foothold, and then recover the states and counties of Guangnan East Road!" Zhang Shijie saluted again across the boat.
"Taifu thinks that our army can go down to Guangzhou with one drum?" Zhao Hao chuckled and said, "Li Heng, the deputy marshal of the Yuan army, is missing, and the armies have searched the surrounding sea and still have no whereabouts. Moreover, even if we recover Guangzhou, the city has already been demolished, and there is no danger to defend, does Taifu think that he can stand it? In addition, although the enemy naval forces on the south roads of the Yangtze River have suffered heavy losses, the strength of the Tanma Red Army and the Han Army left behind in various places is still there, and it only takes ten days to mobilize more than 100,000 troops, and then we can only flee the ocean. If this is the case, why waste troops? ”
"This ......" Zhang Shijie knew that what the little emperor said was good, and he felt that this kid was not aggressive, and when he was only a prince, he secretly cheated himself, but at that time he was just asking for money. And now that he is the emperor, he still hints at himself, and today he is taking the opportunity to seize power, but what he said is reasonable, so he can't refute it for a while.
"Taifu, our army has been fighting continuously for nearly a month, and it is already tired and tired, and it needs to rest urgently, how can we fight again one after another, and we still need to be sympathetic to the military strength!" Zhao Yu looked at his embarrassed appearance and knew that he understood what he said, but he still forced his behavior to open his eyes and urinate on the kang, or he wanted to lead the army to leave, but no matter why, he still had to give him a step.
"Shuai Xiang, what Your Majesty said is good, the casualties of all armies are very heavy, and it is really difficult to fight again without rest!" Su Liuyi listened to it and thought it was persuasion.
"Shuai Xiang, our department has also lost a lot of personnel, less than half of ten, if you fight again, it will be difficult to support!" Fang Yulong, the commander of the left army of the Huai army, also persuaded.
"Shuai Xiang, the soldiers of all departments have not rested since yesterday's battle, and they are already exhausted, and they need to think twice about going out at this moment!" Lu Shicheng said across the boat.
"Shut up, the fighter plane will be indulged in a little bit, and when Li Heng returns to Guangzhou, how can we fight again. Only by capturing Guangzhou can we replenish the troops, and resting now will not delay the fighters. Zhang Shijie glared at Su Liuyi and said, blaming him for being ignorant. And Fang Yulong immediately bowed his head, the right front guard he guarded yesterday was broken by the Yuan army and lowered the flag to surrender, and was rescued when the defenders counterattacked, and now he is actually waiting for sin, and it is precisely because of this that he has to follow the army to atone for his previous sins. For Liang Shicheng, who 'betrayed' him, he didn't even have his eyelids between him.
"Your Majesty, it is precisely because of the successive major wars, the military funds have been exhausted, and the food and salary are insufficient, that the capture of Guangzhou can replenish the needs." Zhang Shijie didn't want to get off the donkey, not to mention a few subordinates, and then said a reason that was difficult to refute, now there is no money, no food, and there is a lack of weapons, and there is no way to live if he does not conquer Guangzhou. Now whether to fight or not, little emperor, you can watch it!
"Hehe, Taifu's words are good, but they are also wrong!" Zhao Hao suddenly laughed.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, what does this mean, the minister is confused! Zhang Shijie looked at His Majesty and smiled innocently, but the words were mysterious and unpredictable, so he could only ask.
"Taifu, we won this battle!" Zhao Yu pouted and smiled.
"Oh, it's us who won......" Zhang Hongfan understood as soon as he heard it, and his old face was a little unbearable, and muttered. Only then did he realize how ridiculous his reason was, that the Xing Dynasty had accumulated enough grain to feed for half a year, and that there were still dozens of boatloads of property, and that there was no shortage of food for the time being. And if the battle is won, then there will inevitably be a lot of captures, Zhang Hongfan led nearly 100,000 soldiers to the battle, and he must have carried a lot of baggage. Of course, these things are not in his hands, but they have fallen into the pocket of the little emperor, and he is obviously humiliating himself by saying this.
"Taifu, the will of heaven cannot be violated, there will be a storm tonight, I am afraid that the whole army will be blocked on the way if it can't reach Guangzhou, so let's go back to Hong Kong to avoid it and make plans!" Zhao Yu saw that Zhang Shijie had understood what he was referring to, and said with a smile.
"Taifu, there have long been rumors in the army that Your Majesty has the ability to reach the sky, but you can predict the wind and rain and the bad luck, let's go back to the army!" Su Liuyi didn't want to go to Guangzhou at this moment, and the reason given by His Majesty could avoid this crime regardless of whether it was true or not, so he stepped forward to persuade him again.
"The words of ghosts and gods are all lies, how can you believe them!" Zhang Shijie said hatefully, secretly blaming him for disturbing the army's heart, but he was also playing the drum in his heart, but he was still unwilling to be blocked back by the little emperor.
"Hehe, Taifu believes it or not, and you will know that if there is no storm within two days, Taifu can requisition and dispatch all the troops and horses to recover Guangzhou, and I will not be held accountable for the unauthorized transfer of troops. Can? Although Zhao Yu couldn't hear what the two of them said, he might have hesitated when he saw his expression, so he threw out an extremely attractive condition.
"Okay, if there is a storm coming, the ministers will ask for guilt before the steps!" Zhang Shijie thought about this condition well, and said that there are unforeseen circumstances, if His Majesty is mistaken, he can take the opportunity to include most of the protectors in his army, and even if he responds to his words, what can he do with himself......
