Han Zhong said coldly: "Your Majesty, what the ministers are discussing now is how to distribute money and food, form a new army and other things, and rescue the Northern Expedition army is also a matter of ministers. ”

The Son of Heaven marched and said: "What do you mean, the Northern Expedition army is not saved?" ”

"It's not that you can't save it." Han Zhong paused, and finally said, "There's nothing you can do." ”

The Son of Heaven was silent for a while, and the high-ranking eunuchs and small envoys who came out of him around him were also trembling and did not dare to speak out.

Deng Ming, who heard the news, rushed over with a group of guards, and when he saw the Son of Heaven like this, he also heard Han Zhong's words, and the furrow on Deng Ming's face seemed to have deepened a lot, and his eyes were extremely gloomy.

"Your Majesty should return to the palace as soon as possible." Deng Ming stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "The defense outside the palace is not strict in the end, so it is better to be cautious and cautious." ”

"What else can I do?" The Son of Heaven laughed a few times and said: "The Northern Expedition army is waiting for it to be destroyed, and Donghu will invade again, the country will be poor and the people will be poor, and the elite will be lost, these mistakes are all my responsibility. Now that someone has killed the king, hasn't it fulfilled my reputation? No one wants to grab the position of the Son of Heaven at such a time, and the kings, princes, princes, and clansmen will not come out at such a time, and they have to survive the past few years...... I have always been worried about this and that, I have been working tirelessly, and I have been walking on thin ice and trembling, but I didn't expect that I sat firmly in this position, but I relied on the elite of my 200,000 forbidden army of Great Wei, and without this elite, I can only be a drunken woman from now on, and it will be a few years since I lived! ”

Tianzi's face was pale, and when he sneered, his facial expression was extremely stiff, giving people a rather weird feeling.

This is the form of anger to the extreme, disappointment to the extreme, and fear to the extreme.

In the past ten years, the Son of Heaven has been thinking about the Northern Expedition all the time, raising money, excavating generals, armor, weapons, grain and grass, and preparing for all the past ten years. What he wants is nothing more than the name of the so-called "Zhongxing", to defeat Donghu and recover his homeland, even if it is a lack of cultural governance and the world is withering, these two achievements are enough to comfort the ancestors and ancestors, and the history books behind him will definitely give him a reputation of perseverance and resoluteness.

Similar to regaining the dignity of the Tang Dynasty, restoring the authority of the Li family, governing the eunuchs internally, and the Tang Emperor Xianzong of the outer towns, Xianzong's ability is considered superior among the emperors of all dynasties, and under his rule is Yuan and Zhongxing.

The Son of Heaven regards Xianzong as a role model, and now it seems that the dream of the past is wishful thinking, and the Son of Heaven has no talent and elegance of Xianzong, of course, Han Zhong is also very different from the name of the Yuanhe period.

Now the monarchs and ministers have joined forces to push 200,000 soldiers into a dead end, no matter how the responsibility is put on Li Guorui and Yue Zhi and others, this Meng Lang's adventurous test can only be placed on the heads of the Son of Heaven and the two governments themselves, the world knows that the seven red flags in one day enter the camp to urge the war, whose responsibility is this?

The Son of Heaven can sit and eat and wait for death, from today's point of view, the Son of Heaven coughs and wheezes when he speaks, and the chronic illness has not healed but is getting more and more serious, and the face is pale, the body is thin, it is not a sign of longevity, it may not be able to live for a few years, as long as the emperor passes on according to the will of the Son of Heaven, there will be no regrets for the Son of Heaven who has lost the hope of Zhongxing.

For Han Zhong, now he has to support the dignity of Xiangguo and barely support the fortunes of the country, he has to be in charge of the palace and the palace, and he has to consider the change of regime, and he will be in power in a few years

, or a rapids retreat? It is conceivable that no one will use Han Zhong no matter who the future Son of Heaven uses, and the current Son of Heaven will use him because Han Zhong will be more infamous.

What Han Zhong wants is to keep the overall situation, work hard for a few years, and seize the opportunity to retreat......

The monarchs and ministers looked at each other and were speechless.

For more than ten years, the monarchs and ministers have gone from relying on each other to being vigilant to becoming opponents, but the final outcome is like this, Han Zhong doesn't know whether he wants to laugh or cry.

In the end, it was Deng Ming who sent the Son of Heaven with a cloak into the palace, and the ministers dispersed, Zheng Yumin walked in front of Han Zhong, hugged his fists and said: "Xiangguo, the top priority now is to send more people to various roads to inspect the various treasury, whether it is to send reinforcements or not, or to train new soldiers, the preparation of military salaries, grain and grass, money and food are the top priority......"

Han Zhong glanced at Zheng Yumin with a strange face, and said, "I'm afraid that the third envoy is thinking too much?" Do you want to apportionment in this situation? If it weren't for what I expected, within ten days and a half months, all kinds of complaints, please exempt from apportionment, and even reduce the amount of money will be sent up one after another, and then, we will have to do a dojo in the shell of the snail, how much food we have to do as much as possible, as much as possible to do a good job in the defense of Yunzhou to Jingshi, Jingshi to Pingzhou, important cities, passes to ensure that they are not lost, and gradually train the new army to go up for defense, to do these things, at least three to five years, within five years, we can train 100,000 new troops, armor and weapons are in place, training is lawful, and generals are able to win people, Gradually recover my vitality without losing an inch of land, and I will be able to retire, otherwise I will ......"

Han Zhong laughed at himself, shook his head, said no more, and turned his head to Zhang Guangen on the side and said: "After the King of Qin opened the mansion, he successively asked for a reduction in taxes, and there were sailors to go to Luzon, and the army of the army was organized in Jiangxi, and Jingnan was preparing for war. ”

"That's good, too." Zhang Guangen said indifferently: "We have done a bad job in the north, and someone in the south has to come up, otherwise wouldn't we all be sinners of the Great Wei through the ages?" ”

Han Zhong's face was strange, he originally planned to withdraw his hand after a while, no matter what, he wanted to solve the threat of King Qin, at most hand over the affairs of Jiangxi to the Shogunate of King Qin, and beat and restrict Xu Zi first, and even in order to solve the unruly King Qin, the forbidden army of more than a dozen armies may not be impossible to do.

Now, of course, everything is empty, the main force of the Northern Expedition is trapped, from the Son of Heaven to the two prefectures are helpless, and the troops are transferred to rescue, it is too late in time, and when the army gathers, I am afraid that the bones of the soldiers of the Northern Expedition will be rotten.

The only way to do this is to break through the line of defense as much as possible and run to the beach...... There is no other way to escape.

Even the northern defense line will have a serious threat, in this case, Han Zhong and Zhang Guangen are already planning to transfer the Jiangling Forbidden Army, Hongzhou Forbidden Army, Tanzhou Forbidden Army, Guangzhou Forbidden Army, and Mingzhou Forbidden Army to the north one after another.

Originally, it was necessary to leave some forbidden troops to guard these important cities, such as Jiangling is the center of gravity in the south of the Yangtze River, whether it is a civil and military armament, or a clan, or commerce, Jiangling is a well-deserved important town, and the Jiangling garrison had more than 100 forbidden troops at most, and then gradually reduced, and now there are more than 20 forbidden armies, and these forbidden troops are all to be transferred north.

In addition to Mingzhou, Tanzhou, Hongzhou, Guangzhou, and Hangzhou, the garrisons of these important towns are all heading north, and they can raise a forbidden army group of more than 100,000 people, and at least they can hold the defense line from Qinfeng to Jizhou

The Kyoshi is no longer so precarious.

It will take at least three years to train another 100,000 new army, and these three years will be the most dangerous time for Great Wei.

As for the Northern Expedition again, restoring the lost land, and eliminating Donghu, don't think about these things at all.

Fortunately, although the garrisons of Fuzhou and Quanzhou were wiped out under the command of King Zhao, there were still bandits in Jinghu in the south, and there were huge thieves like Li Kaiming lurking, but there was the Qin King Shogunate, the Qin King Army, and of course, the sailors of the Qin King Shogunate, and the safety of the south was actually not so worrying.

"Fortunately, there is the King of Qin, who can tell us to go all out to defend the Hedong River Beijing Division." Zhang Guangen also sighed.

Han Zhong also had to nod and asked Zhang Guangen, "Has the shogunate sailor come back from Luzon?" ”

The sailors went to Luzon to attack thieves, and the shogunate also reported to the Privy Council, and if there was any new news, it should be reported.

"It hasn't paid off yet." Zhang Guangen said: "However, the King of Qin has a new trend, he has organized more than 100 boats, saying that he plans to cut down the Japanese, and Wang Zhi's department will also cooperate, I have ordered the King of Qin to postpone, and ask Wang Zhi's department and Qin Wang's department to all go north, plus the northern sea ships, gather hundreds of ships along the coast of western Liaoning to support the Northern Expedition soldiers, and urgently send some grain and grass." ”

There was obvious anger in Han Zhong's eyes, Xu Ziwei was really more than enough to succeed, he was also a clan, or a close blood relative, the gap between Xu Ziwei and Xu Zixian was really far away. Tashan Fort is lost, this guy can't even do the most basic grain depot before he runs away, hundreds of thousands of stone grain, just send the Donghu people, you must know that the Donghu people are not far from the grain cut, if the grain depot is burned, the Donghu people may not be able to last long, it is likely that the main force of the Northern Expedition will still be saved.

It's really a bastard thing, and you can't atone for your sins by dying a hundred times.

Now the front line is not only short of food for the main force, but also has to be supplied along the line from Yuguan to Ningyuan, and the imperial court is no longer able to supply by land, so it can only rely on the sea.

"You can't do it in vain anymore." Han Zhong thought for a while and said, "Give Wang Zhifeng the marquis, his two henchmen, add the knots." ”

"Deng Wenjun and Lu Sihai?" Zhang Guangen said: "Don't add it first, and add it to them after King Qin is sparse." ”

Han Zhong knew clearly, it seems that Wang Zhi's department will also belong to the shogunate of King Qin, so it is okay, and the coastal towns of Great Wei do not have to worry.

"How many people are in the army of the Qin Wangfu, does the cardinal envoy have a number in his heart?"

"Not really." Zhang Guangen shook his head and smiled, the look on his face was really happy, he thought for a while, and said: "The government army was reported last year, and at that time, there was a corps of officers and soldiers of the naval division, a battalion of cavalry, and three corps of infantry. According to the estimates and actual views of the officials and gentry of the Fujian Road, it can be determined that there are more than 20 armies, but it is not clear how many there are, but it is not clear how many there are, my friend estimates that there are now five or six naval divisions, between 25 and 30 land divisions, and four to five cavalry divisions, adding up to 780,000 people. ”

"Well, that's good." Han Zhong nodded and said: "The armor and weapons of the government army are slightly inferior to those of the forbidden army, but they also have a lot of combat experience, especially many battles at sea, which is also what the northern forbidden army is inferior. With the ability of the King of Qin, it is not difficult to defend the south and replace the forbidden army in important places. ”

Zhang Guangen nodded slightly, his face full of relief.
