Zhao Yu finally made up his mind to start the battle for the restoration of the country, but his heart was not calm. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info He found that although he shouted every day that he wanted to return to his homeland, he was still full of fear. And why did you become like this? Zhao Hao thought hard for a long time today and found that the problem still appeared in himself. He feared that if he failed, his business for many years would be ruined, and he might lose his last place to live, thus losing all power. And when the time has not come, there are differences in strategy, and the armies have just changed their equipment and have not yet formed their combat strength, and so on, are all excuses for their own delays.

At present, Kublai Khan is about to die, civil strife is about to start, and the protector of the tomb is famous, but the strategic plan pattern he made is still much smaller, and he does not dare to launch it in an all-round way, so that his battle plan is restricted everywhere. Zhao Yu felt that he was still selfish, forgetting his mission for the sake of that pitiful power and wealth, and just wanted to withdraw to protect himself, always afraid that everything he could get would be lost, and he lost his original enterprising heart, and finally did not dare to let go.

And the few important ministers in front of him, Ying Jieyan is already in his prime, Lu Xiufu and Wen Tianxiang are just past but their temples have been dyed with frost, Zhang Shijie's straight waist in the past has also become rickets, Liu Huang has just passed his fifties and is already full of gray hair and calls himself an old man, why are they so hard-working? When the fighter plane came to the fore, they immediately abandoned their earlier differences and gave full support to the launch of the campaign for national restoration.

Zhao Yu began to understand that they had a more tenacious belief that they could abandon everything, even their lives, for this. Compared with the two sides, what is the difference between himself and Zhao Gou, who is self-satisfied in a corner of the country, and Adou, who is happy to think about it. After learning from the pain, he found that if he didn't make any changes, he would lose not only a moment of happiness, but also his original intention......

Zhao Hao, Lu Xiufu and others discussed secretly for many days, determined the strategy of recovering Jiangdong, and then summoned Jiang Xuan and the Privy Council generals to Boao, and revised it on the basis of the plan he had originally made. Then he ended his vacation early and returned to the capital with his ministers. The troops participating in the exercise temporarily shifted to rest and recuperate, and stood by in place to sum up the experience gained in the previous exercise.

After returning to the palace, Zhao Yu visited the Queen Mother and told him what happened in Lin'an. Empress Dowager Yang heard that there was a great urgency, and now that the royal family is withering, only their mother and son are left under orthodoxy, and of course they have the responsibility of guarding the tombs of the previous emperors. After crying bitterly for a while, he asked the little emperor to try to protect the imperial tomb. It was the first time he saw Empress Dowager Yang so angry, just as the so-called eyebrows were raised and silver teeth were crushed, of course Zhao Yu obeyed his mother's orders.

At the same time, Lu Xiufu also convened important ministers to hold court meetings many times to discuss the recovery of Jiangdong. However, he only said that Kublai Khan was seriously ill and his time was short, and his civil strife was about to start, so he could take the opportunity to cut down the yuan, but he did not mention the theft and excavation of the imperial tomb. And those who knew the inside story seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, and they were silent about this matter, and the matter of attacking Jiangdong was only known to the secretaries of the various ministries and the high-ranking generals in the army.

Zhao Yu thought about it and understood, they were also waiting for an opportunity to start a war, and they also realized that they only told them a few people, so they invariably kept silent. And the theft and excavation of the imperial tomb is just an excuse that everyone is looking for, as for the real as verbally as it is so fierce, he thinks it may not be, I am afraid that it is the same as he thinks, if it is not for the news of Kublai Khan's death, they will never agree to use their own troops, but will be greatly discouraged.

This made Zhao Yu more deeply realize that political needs always come first, and feelings must eventually give way to politics. Even if the ancestral grave is dug up, and you are really angry, but you have to endure it before the time comes, and he has not realized that politics is so ruthless before, even a humble gentleman must bow his head in front of it, otherwise he will not be able to gain a foothold in the court and participate in this game. So everyone unanimously chose to ignore it.

However, Zhao Yu and the ministers don't seem to have any burden in their hearts at the moment, after all, the result is to send troops, but they just hope to use the incident of the theft and excavation of the imperial tomb to the extreme, and the expansion is obviously more politically beneficial. After all, there is a world of difference between 'preparing to dig' and 'being dug up' in terms of public opinion and feelings, and this can not only mobilize the morale of the military and people in Qiongzhou, but also make it difficult for the people in the occupied areas to accept it emotionally, so as to resonate and use it for their own use.

However, although everyone chose to keep it secret, the mobilization and preparation work has been carried out in an orderly and secret manner. First of all, the city ship department closed the sea in the name of ensuring safety in the rainy season, and it was strictly forbidden for merchant ships to leave the port, and merchants from various countries were not allowed to leave the field without permission; The state capitals also imposed a curfew in the name of the recent Haikou riots, and strictly checked the entry and exit of people; The bureau was also ordered by the emperor to closely monitor the Mengyuan spies lurking in Qiongzhou and secretly arrest them; Newspapers large and small in Qiongzhou also seemed to be silent at the same time, and did not report on matters involving the movement of troops, training, and related materials.

Then he issued an edict to various base areas such as Fujian, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangzhou, Guangnan, Zhangxia, and Liangzhejiang, ordering them to gather troops, raise materials, mobilize for war, and prepare for a counteroffensive; At the same time, in the name of inspection, Wen Tianxiang secretly went to Fujian and Jiangxi, Wang Daofu went to Guangnan, Chen Zeweng arrived in Zhangxia, and Gao Yingsong went to Liangzhejiang, and they will represent the imperial court to lead the anti-Yuan forces of all parties to launch at the right time, echoing the war in Jiangdong, waiting for an opportunity to recover half of the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhao ordered the bureau to quickly establish a secret channel between the various base areas, so that they could quickly transmit information to each other; At the same time, the action team was secretly transferred to Shaoxing, once Yang Lian Zhenjia began to dig the imperial tomb, he tried to stop it, delayed time, and did not let it really dig the imperial tomb to the ground, otherwise he would not only lose his political score, but also may cause a series of questions, and the people will turn the spearhead to themselves, that is really the fox did not catch, but caused a commotion......

In the anxious wait into July, the spies of the Secretariat successively sent news that Wang Tuhuan of Zhennan, Wang Hu Gechi of Yunnan, who had moved to Ezhou, led their troops north to Kaiping Mansion, the central capital. Zhao Yu was a little surprised when he heard this, could it be that Kublai Khan was already dead? However, the spies lurking around Kublai Khan did not report the news of his death, and most of them did not find anything unusual, which made him a little puzzled and unable to judge whether he was dead or alive.

However, Zhao Yu knew that Mongolia had invested a huge amount of manpower and material resources in post transmission, and its speed of delivering news was faster than his own, which could also be that even if he learned the news, he would be later than the other party. However, when King Meng Yuanzong met with the Great Khan, he was not allowed to lead the troops according to the custom, but it was a disobedience for both Tuhuan and Kugechi to lead their armies, especially when Tuhuan was defeated and punished by Kublai Khan, so that he was not allowed to enter Beijing for an audience.

In this way, Zhao Yu judged that Kublai Khan might really be dead. It was only in order to ensure that Zhenjin succeeded to the throne smoothly that the news of his death was kept secret, and he did not announce it to the world, but secretly notified the kings close to him to go to the funeral of Helin Ben and participate in the Kuritai Conference. In this way, it can also explain why some of the kings of the sect and the queen of Nanbi in the capital did not act, and the spies in Kaiping failed to send back the news in time.

After the bureau's action team infiltrated Shaoxing, its intelligence gathering ability was greatly enhanced, and it was basically able to report one report a day, of course, with a lag of three to four days, and the two places must be more than 3,000 miles apart, but it also allowed Zhao Hao to understand the development of the situation. Recent intelligence has revealed that Yang Lian Zhenjia has not yet learned that his biggest backer has returned to heaven, and like a cat that has stolen a fishy child, he has been unable to suppress his greed after stealing a large amount of treasure from digging graves.

After digging up the burial tombs around the imperial tombs, Yang Lian Zhenjia finally set his sights on the tombs of the emperors. But this thief is not stupid, he knows that the Song Dynasty has only been dead for ten years, and the remnants of the previous dynasty still have a heart of longing. And there is still a mausoleum guard army stationed in the imperial mausoleum, and the theft and excavation of the imperial mausoleum of the previous dynasty is unpopular after all, if the people are provoked, Prime Minister Sang Ge may not be able to protect him. With fat in front of him and couldn't eat it in his mouth, Yang Lian Zhenjia was naturally very unhappy.

The most indispensable thing in the Chinese dynasties is the traitor, Taining Temple was originally a royal temple under the imperial tomb, and its function was to serve the dead emperor. Offering incense and praying for the deceased on weekdays and participating in ceremonies during major sacrifices is actually a decent and oily job. As vested interests, they should have been staunch supporters of the Great Song Dynasty, even if the country was dead, they were not required to have such a high level of martyrdom, at least they should protect the interests of the previous dynasty, but they became the vanguard of betraying the old master.

Seeing that when Yang Lian Zhenjia first arrived in Hangzhou, the presiding officer of Tianyi Temple dedicated the temple to him as a place to stay, and instigated him to steal and dig the mausoleum in order to help him collect money, so he was trusted. When he saw that the new master was "in trouble", Zong Yun, the host of Taining Temple, felt that his opportunity had come. Everyone knows that the Imperial Tomb is by no means only a huge mound of sealed earth, and there are many outbuildings in it. Even if the mausoleums of the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty are "temporary", they cover an area of several miles, and the entire mausoleum area is wider. Once the mausoleum area is demarcated, people in this area are not allowed to trespass, not a single grass or tree is allowed to be tampered with, and no woodwood is allowed to be harvested and grazing.

Zong Yun seized this point, and he did not come forward, but let the monks of Yanfu Temple cross the border to the mausoleum area to collect wood, but unsurprisingly they were caught by the soldiers guarding the mausoleum, which led to a conflict. It's not that monks know martial arts, of course they will be beaten by the soldiers who protect the tomb. But it was exactly the result they wanted, so they complained to the government, and instead framed the mausoleum keepers for encroaching on the temple property and asked the government for protection.

When it came to the matter of Shakya, the local government did not dare to make decisions on its own, so the 'president' Yang Lian Zhenjia came forward and promised to mediate the matter especially for them. And this favorite of the Great Khan, with such a big hat, the government did not dare to provoke it, so the jurisdiction was transferred to him. Seeing that the time was ripe, Yang Lian Zhenjia immediately led a large group of people to block the entire mausoleum area, and went straight to the mausoleum of Li Zong, because he reigned for more than 30 years, there were many treasures, and the time of death was still short, which was easy to excavate, and it was a small and profitable business.

According to the etiquette system of the Great Song Dynasty, the army guarding the imperial tomb was one commander, that is, about 500 people. Now there are six emperors buried in the Shaoxing Mausoleum area, and there should be 3,000 people to protect the mausoleum, led by the mausoleum guard, and the Empress Dowager Xie promised to surrender and asked to protect the mausoleum of the first emperor, and Boyan also agreed. But the Great Song Dynasty is dead, and even if Meng Yuan is reincarnated as a Bodhisattva, he will not retain such a large armed existence, so the Tomb Protector Army has been greatly reduced and collected weapons, in fact, it is a group of cleaners.

Seeing that someone was openly excavating the imperial tomb in broad daylight, Luo Mo, who protected the tomb, did not flinch, but stepped forward to stop it and was not allowed to break ground. Immediately, Zong Yun and other monks rushed up and beat him up. Although Luo Mo tried his best to resist, he was alone and had no power to fight back, and the only thing left was the mouth cannon. But at this time, Yang Lian Zhenjia was already mad, and ordered the Yuan soldiers to come forward and threaten him with a knife, threatening him to correct the law on the spot if he organized it again.

Helplessly, at this time, the dynasty has changed, and the world of the Great Song Dynasty is no longer there. All Luo Mo could do was cry, and then he was beaten out of the mausoleum area by a random stick and forcibly rushed to another country. The leader was forced away, and the rest of the mausoleum guards saw that the general trend had gone, and they only watched this group of rampant and domineering villains openly steal and dig the imperial tomb in broad daylight, and then the soldiers also dispersed in a hurry, and each fled for his life......

Yang Lian Zhenjia found an opportunity to steal and excavate the imperial tomb of the Song Dynasty, but he didn't know that the praying mantis was catching cicadas and yellow finches, and Zhao Yu was also waiting for this opportunity. He estimated that the imperial tomb is an imperial tomb after all, even if it is simple, it can not be dug up in three or two days, and it will take ten days of hard work to open the museum and see all the corpses stolen. And it takes time to deliver information, so it should have been excavated by now, and it should have been dug up when I rushed over by myself, so I just had a good mouth.

At the moment, Zhao Yu summoned all the ministers at home and the various Shangshu to enter the palace to discuss the matter, and the work had already been arranged, so it was just to inform them. This time, Lu Xiufu led the relevant people from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry to go on the expedition; to stay in Qiongzhou with the strictness of the festival, and preside over the government with Liu Huang; With Zhang Shijie as the general manager of the march against thieves, Zhao Mengjin and Liu Zhu as deputy commanders, he commanded the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th divisions of the forbidden army, two brigades of the artillery army and two brigades of the cavalry, and two formations of the navy, with a total of 100,000 soldiers, known as 200,000.

After receiving the order, you immediately dispatched troops, deployed troops according to the plan, loaded supplies, and set out on a day to sacrifice flags. And the next day, the "Imperial Times" released a special issue, with the title of "national shame" announced the theft of the emperor's tomb by the Tartars, for a time the whole Qiongzhou was boiling, and the scholars of the Guozijian spontaneously went to the palace gate to write a letter, asking the court to send troops to fight the thieves.

Lu Xiufu accepted the petition of the scholars on behalf of the imperial court, and informed everyone that His Majesty had decided to take the throne to fight the thieves in person, and would soon swear to go on the expedition. Five days later, in the school field outside the city, soldiers and horses from all walks of life gathered, and the queen mother went to comfort the army in person, and gave the imperial wine for the soldiers. Then the abbot Lu Hideo of the left minister presided over the ceremony, and it is strange that the little emperor was absent from such an important occasion......
