Chapter 276: The First Expedition

There were only four people in the inner room of the back hall where the young emperor lived, and the queen mother held the young emperor's thin body and listened to Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu's views.

"Wen Tianxiang's official worship prime minister is sitting in Guangzhou, but he didn't come to worship Long live, what should be the crime? That Zhang Zhensun was even more rude, writing such a piece of music and sending it, it seemed that the emperor's permission was required to send troops according to the rules, but the tone was blunt and suspected of bullying the king! It's not a good thing......"

"Lord Zhang, the situation is at a critical juncture right now, don't complain anymore."

Lu Xiufu interrupted Zhang Shijie's grumbling, although the young emperor was hung in Xinhui County, but there was food, drink and hot food, and the accompanying officials and soldiers were very satisfied, at least they didn't have to be chased and killed by the Yuan army at sea.

The Empress Dowager also sighed and said: "Although Lord Wen did not come to worship the emperor, but the city of Guangzhou defeated the Yuan army, killed the commander of the Yuan army, Ah Shu, and the left prime minister Ali Hague, and even Bo Yan was so frightened that he lost his mind, what a great feat!"

Although I am a woman, I also understand some truths, and now the emperor is young and ignorant, and he cannot control the government and sit firmly in the country. In this world, the virtuous are in charge, and it is not good to occupy it by force, I think it is better to leave it to Lord Wen and them. ”

"Queen Mother! Why do you say this, these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are all the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are all from the Zhao family, how can they be handed over! Even if the emperor is young, but there are still us, these civil officials and hundreds of officials are loyal and righteous ministers, and they will never give up the Great Song Dynasty and the emperor! ”

After Zhang Shijie finished speaking, he knelt on his knees and cried, in the wind and rain for more than a year, counting on keeping the bloodline of the Zhao family, the throne of the Great Song Dynasty was not lost, and there was hope no matter how hard it was.

Although they were not defeated by the Yuan army, they were silently taken advantage of by a Hong Kong Island in Guangzhou, and they actually won the general trend of the people's hearts, and most of the news of resisting the Yuan everywhere was to raise the banner of Hong Kong Island.

How did Zhang Shijie accept it, but he had no choice, the battle of Yashan was already a dead end, and he suddenly escaped with the help of artillery, which is also the credit of Zhao Tianyou on Hong Kong Island.

They were able to live peacefully in Xinhui, but also because Guangzhou City attracted the main force of Boyan's army, if Boyan divided his troops to attack, the current Xinhui City would have changed hands long ago. And these civil and military officials and young emperors and queens should have died and followed in the footsteps of the first emperor, how can they have the opportunity to worry about the world again.

"Queen, Lord Zhang, I don't think Lord Wen will have any dissenting intentions, let alone ignore the Queen Mother and the Emperor in his eyes. This petition to send troops to attack Wuzhou is not a signal that the officials in Guangzhou still belong to the emperor. I think everyone should rest assured, or put their energy on defeating the Yuan army, and wait until all the rivers and mountains are recovered and the Yuan army is driven back to the grassland, and it is not too late to negotiate with Lord Wen at that time. ”

In fact, Lu Xiufu saw it very openly in his heart, if there was no Guangzhou City to resist the Yuan soldiers, everyone would have been a ghost under the sword of Meng Yuan, and there would be a chance to think about it, who else could there be if Guangzhou City did not occupy all its prestige?

"That's the only way, then ask the emperor to send troops to attack Wuzhou, and at the same time greatly reward the soldiers and civilians who participated in the war in Guangzhou, and give them the promotion of officials and lords to exempt the people from taxes, and the rewards of gold and silver will be exempted first!"

Zhang Shijie is also telling the truth, gold and silver things are inevitable and impossible, they are now eating Xinhui's treasury silver, and Qiongzhou, which has not been damaged by the war, will be sent to Xinhui on time for food and material support.

Only one document is needed to add an official to the knight, and the civil officials under him have nothing to do anyway, they can be tinkered with in one day, and they only need to stamp the emperor's jade seal, even if they have completed the reward for Guangzhou. The specific reward and the promotion of officials are all things that need to be solved by yourself in the local area, and if such a cheap good person doesn't do it at this time, then there may be no chance in the future.

The Qincha sent out by Xinhui to deliver the decree is a little eunuch, and there is no Qincha at all, it may be that he was instructed when he came out, and there is an example of the Qincha who was lit in the sky lantern last time, which one dares to come to Guangzhou to be presumptuous.

The emperor's attitude was already expected by Wen Tianxiang, the situation was stronger than people, and the general trend of the world was not very clear a month ago, but since the defeat of Boyan, there is a feeling of breaking away the dark clouds and seeing the sun, and all ideas have hope.

Wen Tianxiang is a literati who is loyal to the national integrity, freely familiar with the history books and national policies, and knows that the country has reached the time of alternation, as long as Zhao Tianyou wants, the world will change its title in minutes.

Wen Tianxiang was an official of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was also valued by the Zhao family, and he was a loyal minister who was grateful to the emperor, and if there was a glimmer of possibility, he would not want the Great Song Dynasty to fall. So he also talked deeply with Zhao Tianyou many times, and also tested whether Zhao Tianyou had the heart to be the king and hegemon, but the result made him shocked.

Zhao Tianyou doesn't want to be the emperor, this is a true fact, and there is no need to say flowery language to cover it up, or he doesn't want to say it out of face, this Wen Tianxiang dares to pat his chest for sure.

Another thing that puzzled him was that in addition to fighting, Zhao Tianyou's heart ranked first not the army, not officials, not weapons and money, but the lives of ordinary people and their feelings.

After a long time in the officialdom, he naturally knows the way of the people, and there are many skills in how to gain the support and love of the people, and if they are put in the open, they cannot be elegant, and it will make people feel darkness in their hearts, so Wen Tianxiang can observe Zhao Tianyou. He didn't mix other thoughts, that is, out of instinctive thoughts, he paid special attention to the empathy of ordinary people, and there was no moisture in these behaviors, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hide it from Wen Tianxiang's eyes.

In the end, Wen Tianxiang admitted that just like he couldn't understand the workshop on Hong Kong Island, he couldn't see through Zhao Tianyou's inner thoughts. But there is one thing he is very sure of, Zhao Tianyou does not want to be the emperor, so there is a twist and turn of Zhang Zhensun's request to send troops.

The number of the Song army began to grow explosively, and the root of the Song army's weak combat effectiveness in the past was that good men did not serve as soldiers, and they had to go to study and write to participate in scientific examinations. In addition, there are also problems with the distribution of military salaries, and the simple thing is that no one is willing to work hard because of low income, and no one does ideological work for soldiers, let alone a sense of national pride. But now it's different, joining the army and killing the enemy is the ultimate goal of the people near Guangzhou, and if you have the opportunity to join the army in Guangzhou, your future prospects and income will be very powerful.

The pride of having money, being equipped with equipment, and having superiority, the distribution of many new weapons, not to mention the strict recruitment of the Hong Kong Island Firearms Battalion, is the supreme honor of being able to join the city guard.

Outside the west gate, two hundred double-drawn artillery carriages slowly came out of the city, with four burly soldiers on board and an assembled child and mother cannon. The leading general is not a bystander, it is Liu Changhai, who has been promoted to brigade commander!
