During this period of time, Zhao Huan's state of mind has been up and down like a roller coaster, and it seems that he has experienced great changes and tribulations again and again, which has made him have a great change in his personality of being feminine in the deep palace, the pain of the country's ruin, and the shame of being a prisoner, so that he seems to have changed overnight, and after being rescued by Yue Pan, he also made changes in the fastest time, from an emperor who has no ruling foundation at all, to Zhao Guangyi and even Zhao Kuangyin.

Kill ministers, kill military generals, kill those who grovel in the difficulty of Jingkang and even abandon the emperor and betray the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin's national policy, such as not killing the scholars, ruling the world with the scholars, etc., was completely abandoned by him, the story of more than a hundred years told him that the scholars were unreliable, there was no integrity at all, but those generals looked more pleasing to the eye, more than a hundred years of suppression made them extremely eager to admit, as long as a little favor can make them grateful to themselves, So as to grasp the most important military power in his hands.

Zhao Huan is not a fool, under the huge changes, he seems to have no teacher for some imperial skills and power techniques, although the previous master of the Zhao family also gave him some imperial education, but it is obvious that those are written articles, and the truth that he has comprehended through painful training is the most real means, and that is the most useful, so Zhao Huan does not believe in the words of the ancestors.

He loosened the binding on the generals, and was no longer obsessed with sending the superintendent and the literati commander, he understood, what he said was, no matter how much the literati tossed, they would not rebel, the generals. But this time, no generals rebelled. But it was the literati who betrayed and betrayed the royal family, so how could he trust the literati? It is even more unacceptable that even if the literati are in charge of the army, even if they lose the battle, it will not affect the status of the Zhao family's royal family.

Nonsense! Lost the war, lost power and humiliated the country. No impact on us?

This time, you say there is no impact?

You keep the generals in captivity as pigs, and when the time comes to protect us, you let a herd of pigs out to fight with wolves? I don't think I've been caught enough times, right?!

This is what Zhao Huan yelled at his father in his bedroom, Zhao Ji was so frightened that his face turned pale, this is the third time that Jing Kangzhi has been yelled at by Zhao Huan, Zhao Ji's courage has long been gone, or it has never been, after being yelled at for the third time. Zhao Ji was completely servant of the street, and never came to discuss anything with Zhao Huan again, and Zhao Huan did not go to Zhao Ji, but only provided him with food and clothing according to the previous standards, etc., but with a series of righteous and bright reasons such as "the country is difficult", Zhao Ji's huge consumption of food and clothing has shrunk a lot.

Even the entire parasite-like royal family was compressed by Zhao Huan, and the royal family was full of complaints, but the Great Song Dynasty was getting stronger and stronger, and the generals had more energy. Soldiers joining the army will no longer be tattooed on their faces, Zhao Huan canceled this regulation, and gave the generals a certain amount of real power, canceling the "formation map" said. It is stipulated that there is no distinction between military generals and civilian officials at the same level, and civilian officials are not allowed to require military generals to salute, etc.

If it had been before the Jingkang year, such an approach would have met with a strong backlash from the literati. But now, the court officials who were killed did not dare to say a word. Zhao Huan's own cronies will naturally not stop it, and the Great Song Dynasty is really developing on the good side. There is no doubt about it, seeing that Jingkang Zhongxing is coming, the third southern invasion of the Jin soldiers is also coming.

The Great Song Dynasty began to prepare for the war, and the first and second time is different, the previous Song army system has been completely dismantled, and now the main military strength of the Great Song Dynasty is the forbidden army of Ying Tianfu and the Northwest Corps in the northwest, the Jin soldiers are divided into two ways to attack, the Song army is naturally divided into two ways to meet the enemy, the enemy in the northwest naturally has the strongest Northwest Corps of the Great Song Dynasty to deal with, and the East Route Army is led by Zong Ze to deal with the forbidden army of Ying Tianfu, and the two armies have not arranged to supervise the army, although Zong Ze is a civilian official Jinshi, but from the first year of Jingkang, is basically counted as a military general, Yue Fei is a pure military general, and there is no supervising army, which is the first time in the history of the Great Song Dynasty.

At the beginning, the news of defeat and retreat kept coming, after all, the Great Song Dynasty was recovering from a serious illness, although everyone had done their best, but after all, there was still a lack of some combat effectiveness, the actual situation could not be ignored, a Jurchen soldier could deal with three Song soldiers, and a Jin soldier could generally deal with one or two Song soldiers, this was the conclusion of Zong Ze after counting the casualties, but as the war deepened, the surviving Song soldiers slowly became elite soldiers with a high survival rate, An elite Song soldier can deal with a Jin soldier or even a Jurchen soldier.

The combat effectiveness of the Great Song Dynasty is recovering rapidly, as long as it survives this wave of attacks, the Great Song Dynasty can recover to the combat effectiveness of the army during the period of Emperor Taizu Taizong, at that time, Taizu and Taizong dared to call the Liao iron cavalry, although the next few major battles were lost, but not because of the lack of combat effectiveness of the army, but for some other reasons, so, if the combat effectiveness of the Great Song Dynasty can be restored to that time, even if it is the Northern Expedition, it is not something that cannot be considered - the Jin people bullied me and humiliated me many times, how can I not fight back?

Zhao Huan was looking forward to such a day, but the repeated failures had brought him a lot of blows, and he was even worried that if the Northwest Army and Zong Ze couldn't bear it this time, then where should he go?

Fortunately, the news of Yan'an's victory gave him a great encouragement, and he began to believe that the Great Song Dynasty was not inferior to the gold thief, and the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were no worse than the gold thieves, and the Great Song Dynasty could win a big victory, and the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty could defeat the Jurchen thieves, which was certain, but we didn't work hard before!

But the next development made him start to worry again, Yan'an was lost, the Northwest Army gradually retreated, the Yellow River defense line was lost, Zong Ze transferred to the second line of defense to continue to defend it, the Northwest Army lost more than 20,000 soldiers, Zong Ze lost more than 30,000 soldiers, and had to retreat.

The situation has reached this point, and the joy brought by the victory in Yan'an did not last long, everyone's faces began to be clouded again, the thoughts of the royal family began to come alive again, and some big merchants and wealthy families also began to prepare to move south for refuge, and the confidence that everyone had finally built up was about to be crushed again, which made Zhao Huan difficult to accept.

"Your Majesty. Grab a bite to eat, you haven't eaten in a day. If it goes on like this, the body and bones can't stand it. "The old eunuch who has been serving Zhao Huan since he was a child is carrying the meal. begged Zhao Huan to eat something, indeed, Zhao Huan hadn't eaten for a long time, so it wouldn't work.

Wu Yong, who had been accompanying Zhao Huan to discuss some things and deal with some government affairs, also got up and said to Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty, eat something." ”

Zhao Huan looked at the food with a sad face, no matter what, he couldn't raise his interest in eating, at this time, he hadn't eaten since early in the morning. But he couldn't raise his appetite at all, sighed, and shook his head: "The battle situation on the front line is unknown, how can I eat, those bastards just stopped a little some time ago, and now they pop up and say to me that they want to take refuge in the south, a group of bastards!" ”

When Zhao Huan said this, he didn't feel angry, but deep fatigue, and Wu Yong understood. This means that Zhao Huan no longer even has the strength to be angry, and he is tired of coping, and he is indeed under too much pressure.

How could he not be himself?

But he stepped forward anyway and took out the food from the food box one by one. put it in front of Zhao Huan: "No matter what, Your Majesty, you still have to eat." If you don't eat, how can your body stand it? Your Majesty. Eat some and you'll have the strength to deal with what's next. When he was in Jiangnan, Yue Shuai often said that people are iron, rice is steel, if you don't eat a meal, you are hungry and panicked, and you don't even eat food, what else can you do? ”

Zhao Huan's heart moved when he said this, Yue Fan is still in the northwest, with him, why worry too much? Among all the courtiers, Zhao Huan trusted Yue Flip the most, and he also believed that Yue Flip would not let him down, in that case, why couldn't he eat?

Zhao Huan was a little funny, thinking that he was too worried, his courtiers would rather die than retreat in a bloody battle on the front line, but he couldn't even eat a bowl of rice, how could he be worthy of their struggle? If they fall, who will support them? The bastards of the royal family who are hell-bent on going backwards?

Zhao Huan shook his head, a smile appeared on his face: "Yes, if you don't eat, what else can you do?" Wu Qing, you can eat something too, I don't know what needs to be done next! These days have also been hard for you and Li Qing, and I have been so busy all day that I don't even have time to eat, but I am blindly worried. ”

Wu Yong shook his head and didn't even dare to say it, but he was still a little worried in his heart, the situation in the northwest and the situation in Tokyo were not optimistic, and the situation in Ying Tianfu had never been stable, and the army that continued to go north from Ying Tianfu would soon turn into cold corpses and be transported back for cremation, and the survival rate of the soldiers was too low, which seriously affected the confidence of the people.

Good news, come back soon, if you don't come back, what if you don't come back!

"Hooray...... Banzai...... Hooray......"

Wu Yong frowned, why was there such a commotion coming from outside the palace? And it seems like you're still talking about something, hooray? Long live what? Long live who?

Zhao Huan also heard it, frowned, and said to the old eunuch beside him, "Why is there such a loud noise outside?" You go and see what the hell is going on. ”

The old eunuch hurriedly went out to inquire about the situation, and Zhao Huan opened his mouth and said to Wu Yong: "What's going on today?" Why is there such a loud noise? ”

Wu Yong shook his head: "The minister doesn't know either, it seems that he vaguely heard the call of long live." ”

Zhao Huan frowned: "Long live?" Didn't you win a big battle, what do you shout long live? ”

Wu Yong shook his head and said that he didn't know, so he could only wait for the result, but the cries outside were getting louder and louder, and there seemed to be a trend towards the palace, and even someone in the palace shouted out, Wu Yong finally heard it, shouting "Long live the Great Song Dynasty".

Long live the Great Song?

Why do you shout like that?

Zhao Huan also heard it, stopped his chopsticks, and asked Wu Yong with a look of surprise: "Wu Qing, I ...... I, I seem to have heard "Long live the Great Song"? ”

Wu Yong looked at Zhao Huan and stammered a little: "Minister, the minister seems to have heard it too, what's going on?" ”

“…… Great victory...... 100,000 ......"

A loud shout came from a long distance outside the palace gate, Wu Yong didn't hear it clearly, and Zhao Huan didn't hear it clearly.

“… Ping Dajie...... 100,000 ......"

Wu Yong still didn't hear clearly, and Zhao Huan said that he heard a big victory...... Won? Zhao Huan and Wu Yong suddenly came back to their senses, and immediately ran outside the palace gate, and the sound of the tsunami-like shouting of the mountains was clear and clear!

"Fuping is a great victory! Behead 100,000! (To be continued.) )
