292 Zhao Huan is very much looking forward to the good news from the front
The most elite troops of the poor and the most elite soldiers of the Song Dynasty, the strongest generals of the poor and the Song Dynasty, this decisive battle of Fuping, compared to the battle in another time and space, is more well prepared, and the situation is more favorable to the Song army, if this cannot defeat the Jin army, Yue Chuan is ready to commit suicide and martyrdom, and there is no other way to save the Song army.
So, on the 23rd day of the first month of the third year of Jingkang, Yue Chuan officially issued a general mobilization order, and the 160,000 troops gathered in Fuping all gathered on the battlefield according to the pre-specified range, making all preparations, ready to attack the Jin people who came to attack at any time.
On the 24th day of the first lunar month, Yue Chuan arrived at the battlefield of Fuping, and at the same time received a military report from Wu Lan - at most two days, the Jin army would catch up, and he would also enter the predetermined ambush circle at that time, waiting for the aid of the army, if the army did not arrive, he would fight to the death to realize his loyalty.
On the twenty-fifth day of the first month, Yue Fei sent a letter, he had arrived at the predetermined position, was ready, ready to attack at any time, the Northwest Fifth Army was also ready, ready to start a war at any time, Yue looked at the military newspaper and map in his hand, as well as the direction of the Jin army that was gradually approaching, and clenched his fists tightly.
He was very nervous, of course, it was not Yue Fu who was more nervous, but the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan, at the beginning of the war, the most nervous was Zhao Huan, not only nervous about the Zong Ze and Yellow River defense lines with only 70,000 soldiers, but also nervous about whether the Northwest Corps in the northwest direction could withstand the attack of the Jin soldiers, and he at least had reserve troops and horses on the Tokyo side, and the distance was also close, so it was really impossible to push it back with crowd tactics. That's fine, but the northwest side. He is beyond the reach of the whip, and can only rely on Yue Fei and Yue Yue to turn over the brothers.
But the Northwest Army, albeit strong. But without foreign aid, just relying on the Northwest Army, can you really defeat the main force of the Jin Army and hold Guanzhong? If you lose Guanzhong, it is equivalent to losing the most important source of soldiers, and also losing the most powerful place of the Great Song Dynasty, which is the most precious piece of land, and it must not be lost, and the last main battle corps of the Great Song Dynasty is there. If not, then Da Song is in danger.
Thinking day and night, thinking night and night, Zhao Huan couldn't eat or sleep well, and his sad face was sluggish, and he was seen by the current privy envoy Wu Yong, who had been standing on the left and right, and was also seen by Li Gang, the current prime minister, who was under the door of the Chinese book, and the two looked at each other, naturally knowing how sad the emperor was.
The past year has been the worst year for Da Song. It was also the best year of the Great Song Dynasty, after experiencing a painful region, Zhao Huan was upgraded to the true dragon son and became a more qualified king. Have courage, have guts, and never retreat. Nail in Yingtianfu, ready to go north at any time. All the important positions of the Great Song Dynasty were handed over to the main battle faction, and a large number of the main and subordinate factions were dismissed and surrendered. suppressed and divided the courtiers who were out of order during the second Jin soldier's southward journey, and began to severely limit the power of civilian officials, and promoted the military generals he trusted to be by his side to protect himself at any time.
For the eunuchs, it was also vigorously restricted, killing a few eunuchs who were very angry and helped the people to abuse during the Tokyo period, severely curbed the strength of the eunuchs, and once again put forward the requirement that "the inner servants are not allowed to participate in politics", and the interior around them was also extremely strictly controlled, and the illiterate eunuchs were selected to be the people around them, so as not to let them learn something or see any secrets, which would affect their power.
Zhao Huan is really changing, vigorously consolidating his position, cultivating his cronies to control the government, and bringing the Great Song Dynasty to the twilight of the Huizong Dynasty to the wood, as a price, that is, Emperor Huizong completely escaped into the deep palace and did not ask about the world, and he went to the Daojun Emperor, of course, after Emperor Huizong did not ask about the world, he was still more worried about his safety, and the last experience made him have a serious persecution paranoia, and he always felt that the people around him wanted to harm him.
When he heard that the Jin soldiers were going south for the third time, and when Tianfu did not have enough troops, he was shocked and ran to Zhao Huan's palace with a handful of snot and tears to tell him that he was going to Jiangnan for refuge. Emperor, send Daddy away!
Zhao Huan was annoyed, and felt ashamed and helpless that he had such a father, the reason why he was so ashamed last time was not because of his immortal father's stupid tricks? Now the whole country is firmly convinced to resist the Jin soldiers and never retreat, but the Emperor Taishang is gone, where will the emperor's face and prestige go? Will it shake the hearts of the military and the people? Ying Tianfu is finally consolidated, he can't leave no matter what, here, he is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, if so many elite soldiers and strong generals can't protect themselves, then their own emperor will come to an end.
Not to mention that there are real elite emperor's personal guards left by Yue Tuo, Zhao Huan did not agree to Zhao Ji's request, but allocated a hundred Yue Tuo's personal soldiers to Zhao Ji, so that they could protect Zhao Ji closely, it is strange to say, Zhao Ji heard that this was the soldier left by Yue Tuo, and immediately stabilized, with more than 100 people, under strict protection, he escaped into the deep palace again, and from then on, even what he ate and drank had to be tested by these people before eating.
The persecution paranoia is getting more and more serious, and Zhao Ji's spirit is getting more and more depressed, not only them, but many Zhao and Song royal families have more serious delusions after the last painful experience, and the unbearable past makes them all ask to leave Ying Tianfu and take refuge in the south, even if they take back their royal identity, as long as they can live, if they are not royal, they can flee south, right? Anyway, Tokyo will definitely not be able to hold it, and the Jin soldiers will still come at that time, so let's flee south first!
Zhao Huan was furious, angrily reprimanded these soft-boned bastards, and immediately said that I wanted to fight to the death with the Jin people, and Zong Aiqing died in battle, and I personally put on the battle, vowing to fight to the death with the Jin soldiers! Never back down! You bastards, you are simply a disgrace to Taizu and Emperor Taizong! Disgrace to Emperor Zhenzong! How have they flinched!
What Zhao Huan said is not quite right, except that Zhao Kuangyin really did not flinch, Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Heng are not brave people, Zhao Guangyi escaped under Youzhou City, if Zhao Heng was not forced by Kou Zhun, he would naturally not go to the battlefield to boost morale, what he said is not a brave example, and they are all descendants of Zhao Guangyi, not descendants of Zhao Kuangyin.
But at least, what Zhao Huan thought of after being insulted was revenge, and these people were frightened and didn't dare to take revenge at all, many of their concubines and princesses and brothers and sisters came to intercede, all praying that they could flee south and not stay here anymore, Zhao Huan was disgraced by them, and he had no spirit at all, and the battle reports of the crisis kept coming from the front line and there was no sign of victory, which made Zhao Huan also begin to be a little depressed.
"Your Majesty, you haven't eaten all morning, your body is the most important, you still have to eat something." Wu Yong brought the lunch that had been warmed three times from the imperial chef to Zhao Huan's table, and reminded him warmly.
Zhao Huan looked at the exquisite food, and sighed: "There is no victory on the front line, the palace is full of soft bones who want to flee south, how can I eat, I am not afraid of your jokes, last night, the queen brought the prince over, crying and asking me to agree to them to take refuge in the south, the same as at the beginning, or even more unbearable!" ”
Li Gang said: "Your Majesty, this is a loss of morality and heart, the world is the world of Your Majesty, the world of the Great Song Dynasty, Your Majesty's own family does not defend the land, how can you let the soldiers and the people bravely defend the city?" The queen's words were too much. ”
Zhao Huan sighed and said: "I don't know, it's just that people have been coming over these days, I am exhausted by the toss, I really want to throw them all to Jiangnan, I will be much more idle here, Li Qing, Wu Qing, what do you say?" ”
Wu Yong and Li Gang glanced at each other, and they both felt helpless, in the Zhao Song royal family, there are really not many resistance factions who can firmly resist the Jin soldiers like Zhao Huan, fortunately Zhao Huan is the emperor, otherwise, how can it be good? The emperor is about to flee when he stops fighting, and the morale of the army and the people will collapse in an instant, and the same is true for the imperial family.
Wu Yong opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed, Tokyo is far from being lost, the commander is still fighting bloodily, and the situation in the northwest is still unclear, this is the time when people's hearts are floating, if the royal family leaves, how will the people and soldiers think?" If they are in chaos, the entire Ying Tianfu will be in chaos in an instant, everyone has been working hard to prepare for more than a year, and it will be in vain in the blink of an eye, isn't it a pity? What's more serious is the Zong Shuai, without our support, how can the Zong Shuai resist the enemy?
We are foreign ministers in the affairs of the imperial family, and it is not easy to participate, but we also know that the actions of the imperial family are very related, if it is not good, it is that the people are panicking, and the difficulties of Tokyo are close at hand, Your Majesty must not ignore it, and do not let Nanjing repeat the mistakes of Tokyo! ”
Wu used his words to make Zhao Huan feel better, sat up straight, and sighed: "Fortunately, you are all by my side, unlike the previous group of bastards!" I will give an order, never allow them to leave Yingtianfu alone, even if the golden thieves are in the city, they will never be allowed to leave, if you want to leave, you can swallow poison, commit suicide, the body can be moved out of Yingtianfu to Jiangnan for burial, I want to see who dares to leave here to escape for their lives! Bastard! Lost the face of the ancestors! ”
Li Gang also spoke: "It is inconvenient for the ministers to participate in His Majesty's family affairs, but there is still a punishment that should be had, but in the final analysis, they are still afraid of the Jin army, as long as my Great Song Dynasty wins this battle, all this will be solved." ”
Zhao Huan nodded and looked into the distance: "I hope Zong Qing and Yue Qing don't let me down!" ”
Suddenly, a shout came from outside the hall, which instantly made Zhao Huan's eyes widen, and his eyes were full of light!
"Report! Your Majesty! General Yue Fei sent a battle report from the northwest! Great victory! Yan'an victory! Behead 10,000! The messenger's face was flushed, not just excited, but also blown by the cold wind. (To be continued.) )
