After the decree was read, Wen Tianxiang stepped forward to hand over the decree and stepped aside. Zhao Hao coldly glanced at the ministers in the hall, and everyone lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look directly at him. Then he stopped his gaze on the group of criminals kneeling in the corner of the hall, only to see that Qin Linfeng was no longer as complacent as he was just now, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably like chaff; On the other hand, Xie Ao is better than him, but he is also pale and puzzled; Looking at the others, some of them were already paralyzed, and they didn't lie on the ground because of the soldiers behind them, and some of them hung their heads and looked like they were resigned to their fate, and more people were stunned and at a loss.

"Han Zhen listens to the order!" Zhao Yu looked at it and said loudly.

"Subordinates listen to orders!" Han Zhen got up and stepped out of the queue and said.

"You immediately lead the Sixth Division and one regiment to Xiakou, take over the garrison of the Weisheng Army, arrest the suspects, and punish those who resist on the spot!" Zhao Yu ordered, and then a small yellow door handed over the holy decree.

"Subordinate Order!" Han Zhen immediately went out after receiving the order.

"Dong Yicheng listens to orders!" Zhao Yu said again.

"Subordinates listen to orders!" Dong Yicheng got up and came out of the line.

"You immediately lead the 1st Marine Regiment to Hankou, take over the Weisheng Army, arrest the suspects, and punish those who resist on the spot!" Zhao Hao then issued the second holy decree.

"Subordinate Order!" Dong Yicheng received the order to give a salute and went out to transfer troops.

"Xie Fangde, Jiang Cheng obey the order!" Zhao Yu said.

"Obey your orders!" Xie Fangde and Jiang Cheng came out and saluted in unison.

"The two of you can lead the second brigade and one regiment of the escort army to the big tent of the Weisheng Army in the city, take over the camp, confiscate the military tent, and arrest the suspect!" Zhao Hao ordered.

"Your Ministers obey!" The two of them received the order and immediately went to the big tent of the Weisheng army in the east of the city.

"Keep the prisoners separate and await trial." Zhao Yu pointed to the corner of the hall and waited for a group of people who were controlled on the spot.

Chen Dun led the troops to escort the prisoners down to the lobby, and watched the station of the pro-guard regiment in the courtyard of the palace, and cut off all contact with them from the outside world, and no one was allowed to visit or meet without a holy decree. There were more than fifty people in the lobby at once, and it seemed a little empty, and its own chamberlain stepped forward to clean up and rearrange it. But after such a show, the two leaders of Fujian and Guangzhou were taken into custody, and the middle and senior generals of the Weisheng Army were almost wiped out, and they didn't know who would be involved, which inevitably made everyone panic, and the joyful atmosphere of the New Year was swept away.

"Colleagues, the Weisheng Army has commanded Qin Linfeng, who has lost the emperor's grace, and it has been found that during the period when Fujian and Guangzhou presided over military affairs, they were corrupt and perverted the law, resold military funds, filled their own pockets, lived a luxurious life, and excluded dissidents and harmed their colleagues, so that the whole army was disorderly and military discipline was lax; During the Northern Expedition, in order to prevent the matter from being exposed, the homeless grass was added to the army, resulting in low combat effectiveness and repeated defeats. When His Majesty came to him in person, he still did not repent, still lied about the military situation, connived at his subordinates to keep the spoils of war privately, and there were still suspicions of collaborating with the enemy to be investigated. Wen Tianxiang got up and said to the ministers.

"After breaking through Ezhou, His Majesty received a report, and there was no truth after investigation. At present, the war is urgent, and Ezhou is in the important area of river defense, so in order to prevent trouble, it cannot be dealt with continuously. Today's events have nothing to do with others, so please rest assured! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming, the ministers are respectful!" Mrs. Xu got up and led a group of people from Min and Jiangxi to get up and salute in unison, and she was also extremely shocked in her heart.

Qin Linfeng has also heard of Mrs. Xu, how arrogant and domineering she is, although Xie Ao is the head of the military and government, he has to submit, and he has become the undisputed emperor of Fujian and Guangzhou. But Qin Linfeng, who had tens of thousands of heavy troops in his hands, was powerless in front of the little emperor, and he was annihilated in an instant, and the top and bottom were taken down in one fell swoop. Especially with such a big move, I didn't get a trace of news in advance, which shows that the little emperor is meticulous in doing things, and this is also the most frightening, talking and laughing can put people to death.

"Everyone, please get up!" Zhao Yu raised his hand to excuse everyone, and said sadly for a moment, "I am forced to do this, and I am very sad. Qin Linfeng entered the Marshal's Mansion in Jiazi Town, followed me from birth to death, and made great achievements, but when he was in a high position, he forgot that there was still a national law and military discipline, and used the power in his hands to act arbitrarily, and did not hesitate to defy the law for money, which also made me lose a general who could be in charge alone. You must take this as a warning, there is no personal affection in front of the country's law and military discipline, no matter who you are, you will look at it! ”

"Follow Your Majesty's teachings!" The ministers replied again.

"I'm tired, so I'll be accompanied by Wen Xiang!" Zhao Yu stood up, said with a tired face, and walked towards the back hall with heavy steps.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body!" Wen Tianxiang led the ministers to send the little emperor away, everyone looked at his sad and sad appearance, and couldn't help but feel sympathy, thinking about a child working hard for the country, but the generals under his command betrayed the king's righteousness, so that he had to deal with it painfully, what a sad thing. On the contrary, he did not think about expelling dissidents and killing heroes......

Zhao Yu returned to the back hall and washed his face, he knew that this happened, and the New Year's Day banquet was disturbed by himself, but this was also the safest plan. In this way, Qin Linfeng and his subordinates can be separated, after all, this is the emperor's palace, and they can't even bring nail clippers in, and the soldiers can only wait outside the palace gate, and wait to be dismembered by the blade when they step further! In this way, you can wipe out the main cronies and generals who accompanied Qin Linfeng to the banquet without blood, you must know that not everyone can drink a glass of wine at the New Year's Day banquet, this kind of great glory, how can he not bring his henchmen with him who is good at buying people's hearts.

In his previous life, Zhao Hao heard a lot of so-and-so officials being controlled on the spot when they held an important meeting, arrested and taken away, this kind of scene was very shocking to the officials present, and those who had something to do would be warned. And today he has the same intentions, one is to make them understand that if they commit a crime, whether they are high-ranking officials or ordinary soldiers, they will be punished; Both also let the ministers understand not to be lucky, even if you have a heavy army in front of you, you are also vulnerable, and you can be taken down at any time; The three Weisheng armies lost their main generals, and the dragons were leaderless and uncommanded, so they were easily deterred and avoided armed conflict.

The emperor was not there, and everyone had no intention of staying, and the feast ended in a hurry. About an hour later, Jiang Cheng and Xie Fang had to report first that the Weisheng Army in the Dongcheng camp had been controlled, and all the people on the arrest list had been captured. At the same time, Qin Linfeng's big account was raided, and a large number of gold, silver, jewelry and related account books were copied, and the detailed number was being counted, and then reported. Later, Han Zhen and Dong Yicheng also came to give instructions, and they had already taken control of the Weisheng military headquarters in Hankou and Xiakou respectively, and took over the Jiangfang, and the captured prisoners were also escorted to Ezhou City to be disposed of.

The arrest was successfully completed, and Zhao Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, it was obvious that the people in the city did not know that the palace had just experienced a bloodless battle. However, he had no chance to be happy, and the arrested personnel should be screened, interrogated, and evidence collected as soon as possible to prepare for the conviction, and at the same time, personnel should be selected from various ministries and local officials in the prefecture to participate in the interrogation, and the civil and military officials stationed in Ezhou must all be heard. In this way, it can not only be open and fair, so as not to be said to be 'unfounded', but also serve as a warning for them to receive education on the spot.

After solving the threat of the Weisheng Army, Zhao Yu immediately ordered Shang stationed in Qiongzhou to send personnel to Zhangzhou, Jian'an and other Fujian and Guangzhou regions to reorganize the prefecture and county local government offices, eliminate the remnants of Qin Linfeng's forces, and further search for and collect evidence of his crimes. And the reason why he did not transfer officials from Ezhou and Lin'an was that the news of Qin Linfeng's control had not yet spread, and his accomplices had not yet reacted to announce the strong entry of the army; The two Qiongzhou are the closest to Fujian and Guangzhou, and they can rush to control the situation in time.

At the same time, it is necessary to cancel the military number of the Wasion Army, but properly dispose of the troops under its command. Zhao Yu means that after screening, the old and weak soldiers will be given severance pay to return to their hometowns, and the young and strong will be dispersed and supplemented into the various departments of the forbidden army after training. However, Jiang Cheng raised a different opinion, he thought that if he broke up the Weisheng army, it would be better to change them into independent divisions stationed in the locality, which would not only be able to guard the local area, but also reduce the pressure on the forbidden army.

Zhao Hao thought about it and thought that the forbidden army was the main force of the war, but now it still had to undertake the task of suppressing the locality, which was tantamount to dispersing and weakening the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army. On the other hand, for a long time after that, there were still frequent wars, not only to resist the counterattack of Meng Yuan, but also to continue the war of restoration. It is impossible for the forbidden army to be stationed in one place for a long time, and it must be dispatched and prepared at any time. Therefore, he ordered Jiang Cheng to compile the military points of Huguang and Jiangxi and the allocation of troops, and report them to the military department, and then make a decision after the assembly.

In addition, Ezhou and Jiangling captured nearly 40,000 enemies and a part of the Longxing Naval Army, and all the Mongols and Semu people in the surrendered army were executed. Zhao Yu agreed to Chen Yi's request, allowed him to return to his hometown, and rewarded him with 20 hectares of land and 50,000 yuan. At the same time, the backbone was transferred from Dong Yicheng's department, and it was reorganized into the Jinghu Navy Army on the basis of the surrender of the Longxing Water Army, and it was also the commander, and it was transferred to Dongting Lake in Yuezhou for reorganization after the year, and the captured warships were reconstructed.

In addition, there are still more than 20,000 troops surrendered, and Zhao Yu suggested that they should also be organized into two independent divisions, one of which must be former soldiers, familiar with the military, and have combat experience, so they can adapt to military life faster than those newly recruited recruits. The disadvantage is that they have to re-adapt to the rules and combat methods of the Song army, especially since the Song Dynasty has lost the Central Plains for more than 100 years, and the northerners have always regarded the Great Song Dynasty as an enemy country, and it is not easy to change their thinking from their hearts.

But Zhao Yu thought that he would eventually face all this, and when the battlefield was transferred to Jiangbei, the supply of materials and soldiers needed to be solved on the spot, and a set of ways and experience to transform it were explored. In addition, they can further understand the training and combat methods of the Mengyuan army, as well as the operation methods of requisition and material allocation, and summarize a set of tactics suitable for their future operations in the Central Plains.

After all, after all, the situation and combat mode will change greatly after the capture of Jiangnan, so their own strategy and tactics must be changed. Previously, the decisive battle in Qiongzhou was mainly at sea, supplemented by land defense. However, at that time, the little emperor began to conduct landing operations against the terrain of the south of the Yangtze River, and conducted training in mountain and water areas and field battles, and accumulated experience through small-scale actual combat, which led to today's series of victories.

However, when it comes to Jiangbei and even the Central Plains, the Song army, which is dominated by infantry troops, will face a huge challenge, which is not as large as the waterways in the south of the Yangtze River. However, the climate in the north of the Yangtze River is very different from that in the south of the Yangtze River, the hydrological conditions in the rainy and dry seasons vary greatly, and the rivers freeze even more in winter, so it is difficult for them to apply this combat method of relying on a strong naval army.

In addition, the inland terrain is flat and vast, and the infantry army fights on the plains without cities, mountains, and rivers, and will always be attacked by the enemy's cavalry, and the traffic will be cut off, resulting in the difficulty of transporting materials, and the army will eventually collapse without a fight. However, the Mongols were able to march thousands of miles without logistical supplies, and there were lessons to be learned from. You can also find out the weaknesses of the enemy army, after all, no one can survive ten days without eating or drinking, and these enemy Han troops who have fought with the Mongolian army for a long time are the best living teaching materials.

In terms of the administrative division and theater setting of Jiangnan, Zhao Yu planned to temporarily adopt the provincial system of the Yuan court, but at present, it can only be reflected in the military, and whether it can be used in the administrative division will have to be discussed after returning to Beijing. He believes that the Yuanxing provincial system is the product of the continuous adjustment and improvement of the power structure between the central and local governments in the process of the development and growth of a multi-ethnic unified country in ancient times, and is not a simple centralization or decentralization.

The historical value of the Yuan provincial system lies in the fact that it created a new system with the province as the hub, the centralization of power, and the supplementation of some local decentralization. This system has a dual character and has long represented the central government to control various localities, mainly for the central government to take power and retain part of the power for the localities, and the power held by the central government is large but not specialized. In terms of China's historical environment and specific conditions, the rationality and progress of centralization are significantly more than that of decentralization, and the influence of the current society and future generations, and even modern times, has a profound impact.

Zhao Yu knew that since the Sui and Tang dynasties, centralization has gradually replaced local decentralization, which also shows this historical choice of survival of the fittest. However, the extreme centralization of power is to a large extent based on the fact that the central government has no division and no responsibility for local governments, and is a historical product that is compatible with the emperor's autocratic system. Judging from the current national conditions, it should be more reasonable and beneficial to appropriately add a number of contents of decentralization with centralization as the mainstay......
