Chapter 125: Welcoming the New Year
"That's right, I'm talking about Guangzhou! How about Lord Lu, Guangzhou's water and land transportation is developed, the capacity of sea transportation is not inferior to Quanzhou, and the territory along the coast is still in the hands of our dynasty, which is an excellent location in Dingdu! ”
Lu Xiufu wanted to laugh, and then ridiculed him with a few ugly words, but his own cultivation and character did not allow him to do so, so he could only ask with a little doubt: "Although the location of Guangzhou is good, it is difficult to guarantee safety, isn't this what you said last time, Lord Zhang?" ”
Before setting off from Quanzhou, there were many discussions about settling in Dingdu, Chen Yizhong had mentioned that he had settled in Guangzhou in the past, and at that time, Lu Shikui had not captured Guangzhou City for the first time, and Zhang Shijie was loudly opposed.
The reason is that Guangzhou was already attacked on both sides at that time, and your reasons for opposing Chen Yizhong were also quite sufficient, and it was true that Lu Shikui was already going to send troops to Guangzhou at that time. And now it is even more serious than then, it is almost already attacked on three sides, as long as Chaoshan falls, Zhang Hongfan will be able to send troops to Guangzhou from the land and sea at the same time, at that time, it will be attacked on all sides, you Zhang Shijie didn't joke with me, right?
"Haha, Lord Lu's situation has changed now, you know about the victory in Guangzhou!"
Lu Xiufu smiled slightly, looked at Zhang Shijie with straight eyes and said, "A few days ago, Lord Zhang sent a messenger, did you bring back any good news?" ”
"This, well, is the news of the victory in Guangzhou! More than half of Li Heng's 100,000 army suffered casualties and retreated to Wuzhou, Lu Shikui was seriously injured, and Zhang Zhensun made a great contribution! The letter was in his arms, and he wanted to take it out to show off, but suddenly he thought that it was Lu Xiufu's money, and his heart suddenly became empty, and the hand that was stretched out into his arms stopped.
Lu Xiufu was also stunned, the news of Guangzhou's victory had spread all over the world, and he had already heard about the wind on a fishing boat at sea, but he didn't expect the results to be so amazing.
has been fighting with the Yuan Dynasty for so many years, except for the loss of more than 10,000 troops in Shudi Diaoyu City, the Yuan soldiers have never had more than 10,000 casualties, even if they lose the battle, the loss will not be much. This time, one mouth is 50,000 casualties, which is simply a historical precedent, that is, considering that some of the Song troops surrendered, after removing half of them, the Mongols also suffered 20,000 casualties.
"Is the news true?"
"It's true!"
Lu Xiufu's excited lips trembled and said, "Okay! Good! Good! Wait for me to play the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and ask for credit for Zhang Zhensun and the soldiers and civilians who bravely killed the enemy on the front line in Guangzhou! ”
"Hmm...... I have already reported this matter to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, is it rewarding us now that the conditions are special, for the time being, we can only praise it verbally first, and then make up for it when it settles down later. I have asked the emperor to send a minister to bring a thousand gold armor forbidden troops to Guangzhou first, one is to issue an order to commend meritorious heroes and good generals, and the other is to lay a forward station for the queen mother and the emperor! ”
Lu Xiufu's face just now was overjoyed, this was the first time Zhang Shijie made a decision alone, so what it meant was self-evident, there were huge interests in Guangzhou that made him feel that he could no longer care about Lu Xiufu and those civil and military officials.
"Master Zhang, you have made a decision, what are you talking to me about? Is the capital of Guangzhou for the imperial court, for the queen mother and the emperor, or for you Lord Zhang himself? ”
Zhang Shijie's face was stunned, Lu Xiufu had never spoken to him with this attitude, he had always communicated softly, even if he lost his temper and roared, Lu Xiufu would smile and comfort himself.
"Of course, for the sake of my Song Dynasty, but also for the safety of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, what's wrong with the capital of Guangzhou? How can it be related to me personally? Zhang Zhensun has just won a big victory over the Yuan soldiers, and we now have more than 100,000 brave troops, and we will move into Guangzhou with the Xinsheng Zhiwei army, as long as Li Heng and Zhang Hongfan come to attack, wouldn't it be better to beat them again! ”
Lu Xiufu sighed, lowered his head and stopped talking, Zhang Shijie felt bored and walked away, and a serious rift began to arise between the two people.
Zhang Shijie led the troops bravely without strategy, and even the word courage has been consumed in recent times, and he lost a lot while fleeing, even when he occupied the superior forces at sea, he also adhered to the idea of giving priority to escaping, so could he win the battle?
Every time, he took the queen mother and the young emperor to withdraw first, leaving a few warships to meet the enemy and delay time.
As long as the Yuan army came from the sea to fight, the slowest one must face the fate of sacrifice, so when the troops were arranged, some ships began to disobey the command, and no one wanted their ships to be in the outermost position.
On the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of the 30th anniversary of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Hong Kong Island was very lively, and hundreds of tables of flowing water seats were set up on the martial arts arena.
Many people came to Zhao Tianyou to drink, although he drank well, but he couldn't withstand the crowd, and later sat a few young men from the special operations platoon in front of the dry table, specifically to block the wine and save the driver. However, when Lao Feng Tou and the masters of the blacksmith workshop came, Zhao Tianyou was embarrassed not to drink, so he could only take a sip of the wine glass.
"Old man, you are getting younger and younger now, and you are starting to drink in big bowls, which makes me scared as a young man!"
Old Feng Tou is indeed a lot younger, and his waist that used to be slightly bent has now become firm and straight, and he hugged Zhao Tianyou's shoulders with a smile and said: "You are our master, these guys who strike iron are straight, if you don't drink two cups with you, you won't have the strength to work next year, you have to be full!" ”
The soaring career and the psychological satisfaction of hobbies make Lao Feng Tou really live younger and younger, and often knock a few hammers on his own to create one or two extraordinary things. Following Zhao Tianyou's suggestion, for the craftsmen with good skills, they will be given preferential treatment for the establishment of a small workshop separately, and the priority guarantee will be given to the technology and manpower.
These small workshops only need to operate according to their own model, but there is one condition that must be observed, that is, the dissemination and development of technology is the first priority, and all the apprentices learn the experience of the teacher's life, and there is absolutely no hiding from the smuggling.
This method is similar to the Song Dynasty's economic and cultural openness, and there are hundreds of various bookstores all over the world, and there is no such thing as propagation and imprisonment, but the development of various debates and itinerants has promoted the exchange of ideas and culture throughout the country.
Zhao Tianyou understood that just by his own efforts, the Song Dynasty army, which had been weak for a hundred years, would not immediately become stronger, and a victory in a defensive battle did not mean anything, if it were not for Li Heng's carelessness, the result of the Guangzhou City Defense Battle would probably be a disastrous victory.
"Brother God, I respect you!"
