Chapter 62: Where to Lay the Foundation? 】
When Shi Yang checked the pistol bullets and attacked brazenly, Guangya, three hundred miles away, was in a fierce quarrel.
The quarrel was divided into three parties: Wen Tianxiang and Yang Liangjie. Zhang Shijie and Su Liuyi. Chen Yizhong's side.
These people are all figures who can influence the situation in the DPRK. There is only one topic of contention: where should the new dynasty be stationed?
Liang Qixin surrendered to the enemy, and the direct consequence was that Guangya was no longer safe, and the Yuan army would kill Haishan at any time and put the line in the first place. No one disputes that it is imperative to move out as soon as possible, but the real dispute is, where to move?
Wen Tianxiang and Yang Liangjie advocated going north to Fuzhou. After the Xingchao evacuated Lin'an, it has always been used as a base camp, and its influence on the local heroes is relatively large. To capture Fuzhou, one can be based on the geographical advantages of Tiannan, and the other can be supported by the sea, and the advance can be attacked and retreated. More importantly, with this as the base of the dynasty, you can order the heroes of Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangzhou to respond to King Qin. "The holy drive is in the middle of Fujian, the edict is issued, gather the righteousness and courage of the Quartet, and take the south of the sky to the north of Jiangxi, then there is nothing in the world."
Zhang Shijie has always been at odds with Wen Tianxiang, and Wen Tianxiang was blocked by Wen Tianxiang's repeated requests to enter the court. Regarding Wen Tianxiang's strategy of insisting on going north to win the fire regardless of the fact that the dynasty is weak and weak, Zhang Shijie unceremoniously sprayed: "The prime minister is warlike and does not know how to fight!" ”
Zhang Shijie and Su Liuyi, the two military commanders, agreed that at this time, the Yuan people were powerful, and they should avoid their edge and find a place to build a foundation along the coast of Guangnan. While accumulating troops in the valley, he negotiated with Fanren, and at the same time recruited volunteers from all over the world to prepare for war. When the time is ripe, send troops from the sea and land to capture Guangzhou in one fell swoop, so as to establish a foundation. Then go north along the coast and capture Quanzhou and Fuzhou, "this side is a good plan".
Yang Liangjie was dissatisfied with Zhang Shijie's repeated defeats in command, and ridiculed: "If the prime minister is warlike and does not know the soldiers, then the public knows the soldiers after repeated battles?" If the Holy Queen does not live in a strong city and a big port, showing her majesty, but flees to the sea and the sky, and avoids the wilderness, how does the world view the dynasty? And how to command the heroes of the world? ”
When the two sides argued fiercely, Chen Yizhong also came to intervene. This one is even more desperate, and directly asked to move the dynasty to Zhancheng, "Zhancheng, the state is also, there is a smoke miasma and poisonous insects, and there is a jungle barrier." The palace of the king of Zhancheng can be stationed for the dynasty, and everything is available. The barbarians who occupy the city, brave and aggressive, leap over the mountain streams, and take risks like a disaster, but they can protect the saint and ......"
The courtiers were also divided into three groups, each with supporters, and no one could convince anyone for a while.
Zhao Lie looked at the vegetable market-like court, dumbfounded, and finally saw the freedom of speech of the courtiers of the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Lie is the only clan at the moment, and his status, title, and military position are not low, and he is already qualified to rank in the court and participate in the court debate - although this court is too "sparrow".
Ma Nanchun and Jiang Fenglie accompanied the last seat and remained silent. These two, one of whom had just gathered heroes from all over the world, was immediately attacked by the Yuan army and almost wiped out the whole army, and deeply saw the strength of the Yuan army, and understood the correctness of avoiding the enemy's edge and accumulating strength at the moment. The other was under the influence of Zhao Lie, who came into contact with new weapons and new tactics, and was inclined to form a new army and practice new weapons with tactics. When the time is ripe, annihilate the enemy's living forces little by little with strong force, and push the Great Song forces northward step by step. If the enemy retreats and I advance, why worry that the city and the port will not be in my hands?
The two of them have their own ideas, but in the face of a group of famous ministers and generals, they are soft-spoken, and their vain words make people laugh, so they can only be silent.
Zhao Lie has the right to speak, but he is not interested in joining in the fun, and he can't think of any good places, since there are no constructive suggestions, it is better not to say it, so as not to add to the chaos - it's already messy enough, isn't it?
However, Zhao Lie didn't want to speak, but someone asked him to speak.
The ministers were controversial, and no one could convince anyone, and the final result was that the contradiction was handed over: "Please ask the Queen Mother to adjudicate."
Empress Dowager Yang has never been the head of the harem who is dictatorial and courageous, and when dealing with national affairs, she instinctively tends to be related. It's no wonder that she, because these Wenchen generals disappointed her too much. Among the three opinions, Empress Dowager Yang wanted to listen to the propositions of Wen Tianxiang and her brother Yang Liangjie, but because Zhang Shijie and Su Liuyi were responsible for the military aspect, it was not good to veto it directly, so it was decided to add a bargaining chip.
"Meng Bei's clan also once stationed in Fuzhou with King Xiu, and then went north to Ruian to fight against the tyrannical yuan, presumably he has something to gain. The Queen Mother would like to hear your opinion. After Yang Qizhi conveyed the Empress Dowager's message and asked the ministers to wait, he quietly pulled Zhao Lie's sleeve and said these words to him.
Zhao Lie was stunned for a moment, and then understood. Empress Dowager Yang thought that he had guarded Fuzhou in his early years, and this time he was traveling with Wen Tianxiang, so he must be inclined to Wen Tianxiang's opinion. Therefore, I hope that he will express himself boldly and announce his support on behalf of the clan, so that the Empress Dowager Yang will have much less resistance to issuing another edict.
However, will Zhao Lie support Wen Tianxiang? Of course not! In his opinion, going north to Fuzhou is the most brain-dead behavior to find death. At present, there are only 20 ships and 2,000 soldiers, including craftsmen, shipwrights, palace maids, chamberlains, and some military dependents and other non-combatants, and only a thousand people can be pulled out to fight. Just because of such a few people and the so-called "Qinwang Army" who did not have a single word, they wanted to seize Fuzhou, isn't it the same as when a certain party was founded in the early days of the later generations, when they only wanted to attack big cities, and finally ran into heads and suffered heavy losses?
Chen Yizhong's proposal sounds the safest, but it is too conservative, and it will inevitably lead to unforeseen disasters if he sends people under the fence to protect the barbarian king.
Zhang Shijie and Su Liuyi's method is the most feasible at present, but the difficulty is that there is no suitable base for recuperation and counterattack, at least there is no such place on the coast of Guangzhou.
When Zhao Lie felt that he didn't have any constructive opinions, he wouldn't speak, but if he had to make suggestions, he had to say his real opinions, after all, it was related to the fate of a dynasty, and his fate seemed to begin to intersect with the fate of this dynasty.
Zhao Lie himself really doesn't have anything to recommend, but he remembers one sentence: the wisdom of the masses is infinite. Since the princes of the court and the princes of the court can't come up with any good plans, they might as well listen to the opinions of the military and the people.
An hour later, Yang Qizhi came to look for Zhao Hunting, but he couldn't find all the camps and cabins.
"I saw Brother Zhao go to the craftsman camp before." Jiang Fenglie said.
"Zhao Guanren, I came here before, asked about striking iron for a while, and rolled up my sleeves to help Master Guo knock on the anvil for a while, and there is no clan shelf at all...... Right now, it seems to be heading towards the old camp. The "old battalion" mentioned by the craftsman refers to the family members of the soldiers.
When Yang Qizhi arrived at the old camp, the answer he got was: "Zhao Guanren went to the dock." ”
Yang Qizhi was about to go crazy, and decided to turn around and reply when he went to the dock and saw no one again.
"Zhao Guanren...... Oh, that's not! The boatman pointed somewhere.
Yang Qizhi looked at his finger for a long time and didn't see the person he was looking for, and he was wondering if he hadn't found anyone from beginning to end because his eyes were suddenly bad, and he suddenly heard someone calling: "Young Eunuch Yang, are you looking for me?" ”
Yang Qizhi's head rotated three hundred and sixty-five degrees, and when he finally looked down, he saw a head poking out of the black mudflat, and his two eyes were white and terrifying.
"You...... Meng Bei? Let you reply to the queen mother, why are you jumping around and repairing the boat with the craftsman? ”
Zhao Lie pulled out of the mud, greeted the craftsmen who repaired the ship with a smile and said goodbye, and then swam in the sea, drenched ashore, and laughed while twisting his clothes bare-chested: "Young Eunuch Yang, I will reply to the Empress Dowager - there is an ideal place to stay in the court, which should satisfy the princes." ”
