The drums of war rumbled, and outside the city was the Jin army.

In the past, in Bianliang, I saw the Jin army attacking Bianliang; Now in Xiangyang, I saw the Jin army attacking Xiangyang again.

Although there was no siege, Zhao Pu felt panic in the city.

The soldiers of the Bazi Army are okay, they have fought a few times and seen blood a few times, so it doesn't matter; And the people in the city can also say that before the Jin soldiers came to Bianliang, they made an emergency evacuation, if they wanted, they could withdraw to the south, those who were afraid of death went to the south, and those who stayed were not afraid of death.

And the most worried are the civil and military ministers in the city, these ministers are like frightened ducks.

Being besieged several times in a row, especially the destruction of Bianliang City, left a shadow on them, leaving fear in the hearts of the Jin army, if the war is impossible, they will definitely persuade him to surrender, and even tie him up and give it to the Jin army.

Loyal ministers always have a bottom line, and when the bottom line is exceeded, loyal ministers are second ministers.

Back then, when the Jin army broke Bianliang, Li Ruoshui was the only one who died; When the Mongol army broke Bianliang, Wen Tianxiang was the only one who died; When the Southern Ming Dynasty perished, Shi Kefa was the only one who died. Don't think of Wenchen as too noble, they are also human beings, and they are also afraid of death, and at a critical moment, it is understandable to live without their lives.

At this moment, Xiangyang City, leaving them behind, except for being a burden, is of no use.

"Everyone, the Jin army is coming to the city, and they can't encircle Xiangyang for the time being, so let's withdraw! Sichuan, Hunan, Jiangnan, you can go anywhere, just don't stay in Xiangyang! Zhao Pu said calmly.

Don't put your eggs in one basket, this will spread the risk.

When he was in Yangzhou, Zhao Pu left some of the soldiers and ministers in Yangzhou, and less than half of them arrived in Xiangyang this time. It's just that there are still too many of them, although the new court has been established for a relatively short time. There are also fewer officials, but there are nearly 100 of them. These people are not singles, they are all dragged families, a large group, there is no need to accompany him to stay in Xiangyang.

"Your Majesty, who are the ministers willing to follow, Your Majesty, to defend Xiangyang!"

In the court, the ministers all knelt on the ground, looking sincere. looks like he's willing to die.

But Zhao Pu knows that this is mostly a show, and the courtiers don't know how to put on a show, so they are still called courtiers, this is just a few words of modesty. Can't be taken seriously!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the former Bianliang was broken. My father, the emperor, my brother, and all the ministers were taken prisoner. You can't do that this time. Or is it better to be separated? Zhao Pu said calmly, "The strength of the Jin army lies in the cavalry, but playing water divisions and water battles, our army surpasses the Jin army." Now Xiangyang has a sailor. It's enough to ensure your safe evacuation, so let's go! ”

"Wechen is willing to live and die with His Majesty!"

It was the shouts of the ministers again, but this time Zhao Puli ignored it.

At the moment, he was not in the mood. Listen to these courtiers go to show, let's get out of here!

"The guards are still there?" Zhao Pu shouted.

"Wechen is here!" At this time, Zhao Erdao.

"Escort all Aiqing, leave!"

Zhao Pu said indifferently.

At this time, the guards began to pull the ministers on the ground, and the ministers seemed to know that it was not suitable to show off at this moment. It would be bad if you continue to put on a show, and if you annoy Your Majesty, let them all stay.

Soon the hall was empty.

"I didn't expect that the sailor would become the escort of the ministers?" Zhao Pu laughed at himself, "But with the sailor, Xiangyang and Yangzhou are also easy to guard!" ”

If you want to hold the south, you must have a strong sailor; And the regime in the north, if it wants to conquer the regime in the south, must also have a strong sailor. Otherwise, it can only rely on Mongolia to make a big counterclockwise circle and sweep from the southwest to the southeast. It's just that the current Jin army doesn't have this kind of courage, otherwise it wouldn't have left less than 30,000 people in Wanyan Lou's room to attack Shaanxi.

In later generations, why Nanming was destroyed by the Qing army so early, it was because there was no strong river defense force, and after Yangzhou was conquered, it could only surrender with one hand raised, or run around, and the Yangtze River was dangerous, and there was no resistance at all.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, although the Song army was beaten out of feces and urine, but at that time, Han Shizhong organized a naval division to snipe the Jin army, and won the victory, completely beating the Jin army back to the north, so the Southern Song Dynasty was proudly preserved.

And at this moment, Zhao Pu's hopes are all pinned on the water master.

Even if the Bazi Army is broken up and the whole army is annihilated, as long as there is a naval division, as long as there is a naval division that controls the Yangtze River defense line and controls the right to control the river, it will have half of the chance of victory.

The Song army lacked cavalry, and if it wanted to fight the Jin cavalry in the Central Plains, it was bound to win fewer victories and more defeats; Even if the shit luck breaks out and wins a few games, it will be dragged down by the heavy logistical pressure, resulting in undefeated defeat.

In the next five years, it is okay to harass the Jin army, and it is okay to make a false Northern Expedition, but it is almost impossible to want a large-scale Northern Expedition and destroy the Jin in one fell swoop.

In the next five years, the goal is to establish a naval division and navy, which will fight in the Yangtze River, Huai River, Hanshui and other places, and mainly play a defensive role; The navy is mainly offensive, Youyun, Shandong, Liaodong and other places.

And in the next ten years, it is only when you want to build a strong cavalry.

Fortunately, the Song Dynasty was too rich and had never been short of money, and once the emperor was determined to do something, he would undoubtedly succeed. In just one year, a navy was built; In just half a year, a sailor was established. And this time the sailor is the capital to defeat the enemy.

………………

At this point, everything has to be fast.

Before that, Zhao Pu carried out an evacuation and sent away some of the people, or middle and low-level officials, and the rest were mostly military generals and some important ministers in the court.

As an important minister of the court, you also have to take risks, and you have to have some face, at least you can't run away like ordinary people or low-level officials, and you have to pay attention to some style. So they were forced to hold on and stay in Xiangyang, or they thought that with Nanyang's protection, as long as Nanyang was not broken, the Jin army would not hit Xiangyang.

And at the moment when the Jin army killed Xiangyang, they finally panicked.

The so-called wind bones, the so-called courage, disappeared in an instant, and there was no such thing at all

After the emperor proposed to evacuate, their faces were sad, and they looked like they were living and dying together, but they were overjoyed in their hearts, and they finally evacuated.

It's just that the evacuation is very panicked, and His Majesty the Emperor doesn't give them time to pack up at all, only half an hour, and they will set off after half an hour. This made the ministers jump to their feet, and there were still many belongings that were not taken away, and now they could only be lost here, but alas, my gold and silver; It's a pity, my calligraphy and painting ............

At first, he was still unhurried, looking calm and at ease, and his demeanor was still there, but with the rapid shouts of the guards, and the cold faces. The so-called style bones, the so-called elegance, have long been lost overseas and no longer exist.

panicked, like a lost dog.

"A bunch of shameless people!" The general on the side muttered in a low voice, with a look of some contempt, this person was Li Ruoxu.

"It's like this for everyone!" Yu Yunwen on the side, but his expression was calm, as if he was used to seeing it, and there was no trace of resentment.

The martial arts academy is still open, although there are some twists and turns. Originally, the martial arts academy was a half-year system, but now the time is urgent, and it can no longer be carried out slowly, so it will be shortened to three months, and the course has been shortened from the original five to three. These three courses are, the daily basic training assessment, the city defense strategy assessment, and the formation assessment.

The effect of the quick course is to lead to a decline in the quality of this batch of students.

It's just that there is no way to reduce the quality, so I can only make do with it, and finally use the war to complete the assessment, as for who survives in the end, it depends on luck.

At this time, Li Ruoxu and Yu Yunwen also graduated from the Martial Arts Academy. It's just that after they graduated, they did not join the infantry, but entered the naval division. This made them extremely discouraged, and it was personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, and they could not refuse.

Most of the soldiers of the Bazi Army are northerners, most of them are landlubbers, and some of them are not good at playing in the water.

And Li Ruoshui and Yu Yunwen are southerners, with good water nature and a high level of education, so they naturally entered the water division and became the generals of the water division. (To be continued......)
