Chapter 324: Imperial Discussion

After immediately consulting with Shi Chonggui and the leaders of Peng Yibin in the city, Zhao Futang reorganized the rebel army in the city, selected the young and strong men to form a separate army, and let the leaders of these rebel army immediately train them strictly in the city, and let some officers in the Song army Sasuke train them.

The rest of the eliminated soldiers formed an auxiliary army, which was responsible for repairing the city, digging trenches, etc., and if something happened, assisting the main force in battle, engaged in transportation, etc.

Moreover, Zhao Futang followed Gao Huaiyuan and learned to attach importance to the role of craftsmen, recruiting stonemasons and carpenters among these eliminated soldiers, and assigning them to the craftsmen of the Song army to deploy and use, so that they immediately strengthened the city gates, manufactured various offensive and defensive equipment, and were ready to supply the army at any time.

Li Xiaotian was ordered to lead the heavy cavalry to go out of the city to pursue the Mongol rangers in the vicinity, eliminate them as much as possible, reduce their harm to the place, and at the same time combat their arrogance and expand the vision of the defenders in the city, so as not to cause the defenders to be tossed blind by them.

Li Xiaotian is also a guy with superb riding skills, he knows the application of cavalry, this guy has his own way, after taking hundreds of Song cavalry out of the city, he concentrated his forces and carried out a sweep outside the city, and in two days, he killed dozens of Mongolian rangers and hung their heads on the city.

At this time, the Mongols finally figured out what kind of army came to Enzhou City, and the officials and troops of the Southern Song Dynasty court also ran here and joined in the defense against them!

So the Mongolian rangers who had suffered a loss outside Enzhou City immediately reined in and hurried back to report the information to Polu.

Let's put down the matter of Gao Huaiyuan leading the army north to resist Mongolia, and then talk about the situation in the imperial court some time ago, during this time, since Gao Huaiyuan sent troops to attack Li Quan, the imperial court has been connected to the Song Express, so that the government and the opposition began to be excited, for so long, speaking of Jingdong, the righteous army of Jingdong took refuge in the Song court, but the imperial court did not actually control Jingdong, and now when Zhao Yun learned the news that Li Quan was killed, he immediately danced happily.

Gao Aiqing is really the tiger general of my Great Song Dynasty! With him leading the army, who would dare to underestimate my Great Song Dynasty? Quickly spread this good news to all places, so that the people of the Great Song Dynasty know that our Great Song Dynasty cannot be bullied!

Zheng Aiqing, you didn't expect it this time! Gao Aiqing will wipe out Li Quan and his subordinates in less than half a year! Gao Aiqing lives up to expectations! Zhao Yun sat behind the dragon case, took the fold sent back by Gao Huaiyuan, and said triumphantly to these ministers under the main hall, and said to Zheng Qingzhi with a focus on his name.

Zheng Qingzhi's face was quite ugly, because he was really not optimistic that Gao Huaiyuan would be able to solve Li Quan quickly, and repeatedly united with some ministers to try to stop Gao Huaiyuan from sending troops, but he didn't expect Gao Huaiyuan to really solve Li Quan and his soldiers and horses so quickly, as if he was slapped in the face.

Looking at Zhao Yun's face full of joy, Zheng Qingzhi first bowed down and congratulated Zhao Yun: Master Gao is really extraordinary, Wei Chen really didn't expect him to be able to exterminate Li Quan so quickly.

But now that Lord Gao has exterminated Li Quan, it is time to lead the troops back, why don't you see Lord Gao intending to return to the court? You must know that although the number of troops led by Lord Gao is not large, the daily consumption of tens of thousands of troops is still not small, just to transport grain and other things, it is necessary to constantly transfer them from all walks of life every day, and in the long run, I am afraid that the consumption will be too great, and I hope that the Holy Lord will make Lord Gao withdraw his troops as soon as possible!

Gao Huaiyuan's recital was directly sent to Zhao Yun's hands, without going through Zheng Qingzhi's hands, so Zheng Qingzhi didn't know what Gao Huaiyuan's recital was written, and now he was very faceless because of Gao Huaiyuan's matter, so he took the opportunity to pull Gao Huaiyuan back again, in fact, he also knew that Gao Huaiyuan would not easily return to his teacher now, Li Quan died, but Jingdong does not mean that it has been settled, and there are still many forces entrenched in the Jingdong area, if it is not handled well, the next step will not be stable.

After listening to Zheng Qingzhi's words, Zhao Yun immediately shook his head and said: No way, no way! Gao Aiqing's fold is clearly written, Li Quan died with him, but Jingdong is undecided, and now the Mongols are trying to get their hands on Jingdong, sending troops to attack Dezhou, Jizhou and other places, once the Mongols enter Jingdong, it will be even more difficult to recover the land of Jingdong!

Therefore, Gao Aiqing asked to send troops north immediately to assist Peng Yibin in fighting against the Mongol army, and now he can't return to the court!

I've already seen this recital, Zheng Aiqing, Zhen Aiqing, you ministers, also circulate it!

Saying that, Xiao Huangmen took the fold in Zhao Yun's hand and took it down and handed it to the ministers for circulation.

Everyone in this group is a great Confucian, and they finished reading this piece of music at a glance and ten lines, which did not take a long time, but only ministers of the rank of Zheng Qingzhi, Zhen Dexiu, and Ji Xiancheng are qualified to circulate it.

But after seeing Gao Huaiyuan's recital, there was a buzzing sound in the hall immediately, and the ministers of the Song Dynasty had two long wings on their hats, which was a unique scenery in the Song Dynasty.

Holy! Weichen has a plan to play, although the tall man has great achievements, but it is too bold to act like this! Huaidong was initially decided, but wouldn't it be likely to anger the Mongolian Genghis Khan by moving the army north to fight the Mongol army? Now that Genghis Khan is conquering my old enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, if I fight against him, won't I be in the arms of the Jin Kingdom?

Weichen thought that General Gao could not continue to go north now, and it was enough for the saint to let him pacify Jingdong, and he must not provoke right and wrong again, so that my Great Song Dynasty would set up a new enemy!

There is also General Gao's intention to use Minzhuang to dredge the Bianhe River, this move is undoubtedly too risky, the Jin army once invaded our Jianghuai defense line from the waterway, if we dredge the river now, wouldn't it be tantamount to self-destruction of the Great Wall? Once the Jin Kingdom turns against us again, as long as Xuzhou is captured, then we can go south by boat and drive straight in, wouldn't it be dangerous for us to go around the Jianghuai region?

Moreover, such a large-scale dredging of the river, not to mention the laborers, the huge cost is not what our dynasty can afford now! I also hope that the Holy Lord can reject General Gao's request and make him only need to appease the place!

After Zheng Qingzhi saw this recital, he immediately felt that he had grabbed Gao Huaiyuan's sore feet, and jumped out and immediately raised his objections.

For a long time, many people in the court of the Southern Song Dynasty have formed the idea of taking the Jianghuai as the boundary, favoring the south of the Yangtze River, in their minds, the Jianghuai defense line is unbreakable, as long as the Jin people can not cross the Jianghuai area, then the Southern Song Dynasty is not in danger, the original Han Yanxuan is the courage to raise troops to the Northern Expedition, the result not only did not take advantage, but caused the Southern Song Dynasty to suffer heavy losses, and a large amount of money, grain and materials accumulated were destroyed in the Kaixi Northern Expedition, and now people mention going north, their hearts are a little worried, unwilling to take such a risk, What's more, this time Gao Huaiyuan wanted to go to the north to fight with the Mongols, although these officials had never seen the strength of the Mongol army, but from the extent to which the Jin Kingdom had been bullied by the Mongols over the years, they also knew that the Mongols were by no means easy to mess with, Zheng Qingzhi was a typical representative of these people, so as soon as he said it, some ministers in the hall hurriedly echoed.

Zhao Yun frowned, the words of Zheng Qingzhi's ministers made him feel like a basin of cold water on his head, and his excitement fell suddenly, and he suddenly felt a little nervous.

But as soon as Zheng Qingzhi's words landed, Ji Xiancheng was the first to quit, and when he came out of the class, he said: Your Majesty, Weichen disagrees with the words of Zheng Daren and others, and now although Li Xinxin is destroyed, it does not mean that the situation in Jingdong has stabilized, and Gao Daren's move is also for the sake of the country, how can he be prevented from going north to resist Mongolia?

Moreover, the ambition of the Mongols is a wolf, it can be said that it has been clearly revealed, Li Quan occupies the east of Huaidong and other places, he has already submitted to our dynasty, then the land of Jingdong and Huaidong has already been recovered by our dynasty, but the Mongols still accept Li Quan's refuge, claiming that the land of Jingdong and Huaidong are their jurisdiction, isn't it equivalent to openly asking for land from us?

And now they know that the righteous army in the Jingdong area has all returned to our dynasty, and its jurisdiction is naturally our dynasty's territory, but they also sent a large army to invade Jingdong, which is clearly to forcibly occupy our dynasty's territory, thinking that my Great Song Dynasty has just recovered a hundred years of lost land, and how can the Tartars easily take it away, General Gao's move should be in line with the people's will, only by repelling the Mongolian army, our dynasty can keep the land of Jingdong, otherwise, don't talk about anything to stabilize Jingdong!

As for General Gao's request to dredge the Bianhe River, it can be said that this is a far-sighted move, Lord Zheng's worries are simply unfounded, the Jin people and their northerners are not good at water warfare, the world knows, if our dynasty plans to restore the Central Plains in the north, the transfer of grain and straw equipment for the army will be a very heavy matter, and General Gao's current dredging of the river is for the long-term plan!

Although the Kaixi Northern Expedition failed, and regardless of other reasons, the army's grain and straw transportation was a major problem, after the army went north, the rear grain was not enough, so that the army could not advance, and it was also an important reason for the failure of the Kaixi Northern Expedition.

What's more, after the extermination of Li Quan, our army captured many of Li Quan's old troops, if these people cannot be properly settled, sooner or later they will still be a disaster, how can we talk about stability? And General Gao saw this clearly, and made full use of these captured Li Quan's old troops, so that they had something to do, so as not to cause trouble in idleness, this move can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and I hope that the Holy Lord will support General Gao!
