Chapter 460

"Li Aiqing, the task of your naval division is that after the North Sea Fleet escorts the advance column to land, it will look for fighters in the northern coastal area, and defeat the Mongolian naval division along the coast at every opportunity, and the rest of the East China Sea Fleet will be stationed in Xiakou (now Wuhan) at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Han River, and will be ready to go to Xiangfan to support at any time, and the coastal coastal defense of Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang and other places will be handed over to the South China Sea Fleet."

"Yes, I obey."

"Li Aiqing, please be seated." I smiled and continued to nod the general, "The deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army Xie Daolin Xie Aiqing, and the chairman of the military staff Zhao Huai and Zhao Aiqing listened to the order. ”

"The minister is here."

"The two of you will lead the first division and artillery battalion of the Royal Forest Army to set off on the second day of the next month and rush to Yingzhou."

"Yes, your ministers obey."

"As for the Jianghuai Military Region, for the time being, it will hold its troops and wait for the advance column to land, and then send troops to make a feint attack to attract the attention of the Mongolian army on the eastern route, so as to reduce the pressure on the advancing column. The Ryukyu Military Region, which is far overseas, and the officers and men of our army stationed on Jeju Island, will maintain the status quo and make arrangements after the end of the Battle of Yangyang. The above is the task arrangement of each military region, do you still have a book? ”

Seeing that no one was silent, Lu Xiufu got up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do." ”

"Lu Aiqing, please speak."

"Your Majesty, the Military Affairs Yuan received a report from Lord Li of the Jianghuai Military Region in the early hours of this morning, Lord Li said that the battle of Xiangyang is the top priority, and our army should fight with the most elite troops, in addition to the Imperial Forest Army, the army of the Great Song Dynasty should be the Yangzhou Broken Army and the Xiangyang Black Carbon Regiment as the most, and recently heard that the Mongolian Ashu led 5,000 cowardly Xue south, and His Majesty intends to personally conquer, and there is no big war in the Jianghuai Military Region in the short term, so it is proposed by Lord Li to transfer the 3,000 broken army under his command to Yingzhou to fight cowardly Xue. Your Majesty, please, instruct. ”

"This Li Tingzhi, haha." I smiled, and then thought for a while and said, "Okay, with the speed of the Broken Army, it will only take a few days from Yangzhou to Yingzhou, since Li Aiqing has this idea, then let the Broken Army arrive in Yingzhou before May 25th, I also want to see the ace troops of my Great Song Army." Lu Aiqing, after the meeting, the Military Affairs Yuan issued an order to the Jianghuai Military Region. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers obey."

Of course, I understand Li Tingzhi's intentions, and the battle cowardice Xue is just an excuse to send the Broken Army to Yingzhou, the fundamental purpose is to protect me.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the founding of Emperor Taizu, there were Khitan Liao people, then Jin, Xia, and then Mongolia, for three hundred years, the border land has always been unpeaceful, although the economic power of our dynasty has surpassed the previous Han and Tang dynasties, but because most of the first emperors have adopted a foreign policy of peace, hoping to exchange silver taels and silk silk for peace, which makes the surrounding tigers and wolves inch in, constantly encroaching on the land of our dynasty, so that to this day, the capital of our dynasty is still in the hands of foreign races, Tens of thousands of our people have been reduced to inferior people in Mongolia, and this cannot but make me sad. As for the reason for this, there is no need to investigate it now, I believe that with the end of the Battle of Xiangyang, with the end of the Song and Mongolian Wars, all this will become history. ”

The more I talked, the more excited I became: "In addition to many factors such as economy, culture, science and technology, and population, a country's comprehensive strength must also be strong militarily. The reason why the Han and Tang dynasties are called prosperous times is because they had a strong army. Therefore, going hand in hand, comprehensive development will be regarded as the eternal national policy of our Great Song Dynasty in the future, and only in this way can our dynasty always stand at the top of the world in terms of comprehensive national strength. Between war and peace, I also like peace, but peace is not something that can be bought by gold and silver wealth, whether it is today's Mongolia, or the Liao, Jin, and Xia who have repeatedly offended our Great Song Dynasty in the past, I believe that only by defeating and crippling them and making them surrender can we make our dynasty once and for all, and can we get a relatively long-term peace. ”

As soon as my words fell, I saw Jia Rudao take the lead in applauding and praised: "Your Majesty's Shengming, Your Majesty's words are really the foundation of building a country and strengthening the country. ”

Fan Wenhuan then praised: "Your Majesty, only Your Majesty can write the glory of my Great Song Dynasty." To borrow the words of Lord Lu, only a god like Your Majesty can lead me to Zhongxing. ”

I laughed and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I should follow the mandate of heaven to lead me to Zhongxing and write a new history of my dynasty, and every one of you here, including the thousands of people in my dynasty, is in accordance with the mandate of heaven and will work together to assist me in creating a new historical situation in the future of my Great Song Dynasty." ”

"The ministers swear to follow Your Majesty to the death and complete the great cause of Zhongxing."

"Okay, Zhongqing's family, retreat."

When I said the last few words, I suddenly remembered the previous education, "The masses of the people are the creators of history!" "So, am I, the emperor, a member of the people? Are these my courtiers counted?

Perhaps, it's time to change this sentence, history is created by all mankind. In this case, it may be more accurate.

At noon on May 3, accompanied by Yuan Jian and Fang Ling, I came to the Shifeng Commercial Bank, summoned Suo Wuji, Ye Dongsheng and others, and gave instructions on the security work of Longya after I left Lin'an, and asked them to cooperate closely with Jinyiwei to maintain the social order of Lin'an City. Yao Chaohui, another backbone of the Dragon's Tooth Security Department, had been sent to Dali by me ten days ago to inform Relic Kong and Relic to prepare for an incident.

After talking for about two hours, Fang Ling and I returned to the palace, and after meeting with Quan Jiu in Funing Palace, we went directly to Ningkun Palace.

Xie Daoqing and the concubines were already waiting in the house, even Concubine Yang Shu, who had a big belly.

"The official family is here." The sharp-eyed Concubine Qiu was the first to shout.

"I've seen the official." All the concubines stood up together to greet each other.

"No courtesy." I smiled and said, "I've seen the Queen Mother." ”

Xie Daoqing said "um", pointed to the vacant seat and said, "Everyone doesn't need to be polite, just serve the table." ”

The palace maids who were waiting on the side quickly served the wine and food, and filled the empty cups of the crowd with Chinese imperial liquid. Xie Daoqing raised his glass and said: "Let's raise a glass together, today's family banquet is for the official family, this first cup of wine we will salute the official family together, and wish the official family a victory and success." ”

Everyone raised their glasses together and said: "I wish the official family a victory and success." ”

I drank it all: "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

"This second glass of wine, let's wish the official family a safe and early return." When Xie Daoqing said this, his eyes were already a little moist. Over the years, Xie Daoqing's attitude towards Zhao Yu has completely changed, from the time when he strongly opposed Li Zong's appointment as the crown prince, to the current full support, it is simply a 180-degree turn, the reason for this is that this Zhao Yu is not Zhao Yu, of course, this is something that Xie Daoqing can't imagine anyway.

I drank it all again and comforted: "Rest assured, the queen mother, I am a man of God, and with the protection of God, I will return safely." ”

"Well, yes, the first emperor is right about this, and the queen mother has long believed it." Xie Daoqing raised the third glass of wine, but said to Fang Ling, "Ling'er, the queen mother has saluted you for this third cup of wine." ”

"Huh? The Queen Mother can't, no matter what, Ling'er should respect you. Fang Ling was a little confused, but he felt a panic in his heart, where was the Queen Mother toasting him.

"Ling'er, the queen mother knows that you are strong in martial arts, and this time the official family is on the front line, and the security issue will be handed over to you. So, this third glass of wine ......"

Fang Ling suddenly realized, and interrupted with a smile: "Queen Mother, that's it, Ling'er still thinks there is something that can't be done, although the Queen Mother can rest assured, for so many years, Ling'er has always been a brother, ah, no, he is the personal bodyguard of the official family, even Mr. Yuan has praised Ling'er's martial arts, the Queen Mother, as long as Ling'er has a breath, she will be able to protect the official family." ”

"Okay, Ling'er, then let's do this."

Fang Ling hurriedly raised his glass and said, "Queen Mother, Ling'er respects you." ”

After Xie Daoqing finished drinking, he capped the wine bottle and said: "Early tomorrow morning, the official family will set off for the north, and tonight's liquor will be drunk here, and only vegetables are allowed below." ”

Quan Jiu said: "What the Queen Mother said is very true, and the rest will wait for the official family to triumph, and we will drink it again." ”

Xie Daoqing nodded and said, "Official, before you leave, there is still a major matter that you need to decide." ”

"Big deal?" I was stunned for a moment and said, "Queen Mother, I have already discussed the matter with the Queen Mother." ”

Xie Daoqing saw that I was at a loss, and said with a smile: "It's not a state matter, it's a family matter." Official, you don't know when you will be able to return, in two months, Concubine Yang will give birth, and the child in this belly is still waiting for you to name it. ”

I said "oh" and said: "Queen Mother, this, I have already thought about it, the first son of our Zhao family is called Yu, Zhao Yu." ”

"Zhao Yu?" Xie Daoqing and Concubine Yang read silently.

I nodded and said, "Yes, it's Yu, the word Yu is on the sun and down, I mean that the descendants of my Zhao family are as upright as the sun, and they are high above and will never decline." ”

Xie Daoqing said: "Okay, this meaning is good, the queen mother agrees, so it's decided." ”

I used the name of Concubine Yang's son in history, Zhao Yu.

Historically, Zhao Yu (1269-1278 AD) was the eldest son of Song Duzong, and succeeded to the throne after his younger brother Song Gong Emperor Zhao Xian (the seventh emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, born to Quan Jiu) was captured by the Yuan army.

In April 1278, on the way to escape, Zhao Yu was swept into Hailang, although Jiang Wanzai, who was more than 70 years old, struggled to rescue, but Jiang Wanzai himself was unfortunately swept away by Hailang, Zhao Yu contracted the disease, less than a month, died in Jiezhou, buried in Yongfu Mausoleum (now Lantau Island, Hong Kong).
