Zhang Jun was so angry that he wanted to explode, how could he reason with this kind of person? Zhang Jun is a military general among civil officials, and a military official is a civil official in the military generals, and he has taken advantage of it congenitally, no matter who he is facing, he dares to pick his nose and eyes. Since his debut, he has basically never fallen behind, which has caused him to have a big temper, poor eloquence, and always make a fool of himself when he quarrels with others. Back then, he was annoyed and angry by Yue Fei, and at this time, an old pedant could also abuse him completely!

Zhang Jun really couldn't say anything, so he simply turned his head and made an impassioned statement to the emperor, "Your Majesty should succeed immediately, how can you be greedy for Gou An and miss the opportunity"

Zhao Tuan was deeply moved. Of course, the Northern Expedition is difficult, but if there is a difficulty, don't you do it? Of course not! He responded to Zhang Jun with a more passionate attitude, "The public is determined to recover, how can I be willing to steal peace"

For a time, the Golden Palace of the Southern Song Dynasty was full of passionate and generous kingly spirit. According to legend, many people were infected, and countless reverent eyes condensed on Zhang Jun and Zhao Tuan, and plated them with glorious gold edges...

Not including Shi Hao! Mr. Shi is extremely firm in his own philosophy, even if he causes tens of thousands of casualties in the Sichuan army and 16 states where the country is mourned, he doesn't care, let alone these small atmospheres in front of him? He and Zhang Jun debated for 5 days in a row. In the past 5 days, the battlefield between the two will be on the Golden Palace, in the palace, and at the dinner table...

Shi Hao put forward the military strength that the country can use now, and there are only 60,000 people at most to fight the main battle, where does the confidence come from? After Yan Zòng's blow, Shi Hao said affectionately and affectionately, "Zhang Dudu, my wish for decades in my life is to take the lead of the whip and listen to your instructions." You're my idol, but I didn't expect us to be so at odds now. For the sake of your 30-year reputation and the banner of the country's fathers, you must be cautious and calm..."

Zhang Jun was furious, this damn old pedant regarded him like a baby, and he dared to use both soft and hard! This is the greatest contempt for him, he was furious and left the court, and returned to the Jianghuai front line to see the army!

Zhang Jun walked so resolutely. Zhao Tuan immediately felt weak, and asked him to come back in a hurry. However, it is still his teacher Shi who continues to blatantly dismantle the stage! Zhang Jun in front of him did everything possible to collect armaments, and what could be solved on the spot would never trouble the central government, but the funds were really insufficient, so he had no choice but to ask Zhao Tuan for help. Zhao Tuan ordered immediate support!

But the right minister Shi Hao disagreed! has just ascended the throne, and before he has shown mercy to the people, he has levied and extorted violently, and he is not afraid of a popular uprising? At that time, the lost land was not recovered, and there will be a crisis in Jiangnan!

Shi Hao said it soundingly. Instruct the relevant departments not to issue the decree and refuse to implement it!

Zhao Tuan was anxious: This is military affairs, and there can be no delay!

Shi Hao was very calm: Either you remove me, I don't agree anyway!

The result of the stalemate was that Zhao Tuan compromised again, whether it was Zhang Jun or Shi Hao, they were all his close friends, and he didn't curse any of them... Can you still use the garbage moths from the Zhao Gou and Qin Hui periods? In desperation, Zhao Tuan decided that no one should be offended. Shi Haoke continued to oppose the Northern Expedition, regardless of the occasion and place. Say whatever you want. Zhang Jun went to the Northern Expedition and did whatever he wanted. As for the money, Zhao Tuan had an idea, and thought of the New Year's coins that he would prepare to pay tribute to the Jin Kingdom every year! Didn't just finish the war. Are the two countries at loggerheads? So what do you want to do with the enemy? Use this money to support Zhang Jun for military expenses!

finally solved the urgent need, but Zhao Tuan couldn't like it. The Northern Expedition is a huge cooperative project, and all officials need to support every link. Tear down the east wall and make up the west wall? We must mobilize!

But asking for policies from my father and support from my teachers are all in vain, making the wolf unbearable. There are more negative effects in vain! In the long run, how to get it! Where is the support? Zhao Tuan really couldn't think of what else to do, so he had to resort to one last resort! The emperor personally stepped out, set an example, and called on the people to take action with the dignity of the emperor!

Zhao Yan specially opened up a field in the palace, and took palace companions, forbidden troops, etc. to do various military exercises in it, and it didn't stop on rainy days, covering it with oilcloth on top and sand on the bottom, and going out on time every day!

The results came out in a few days! The civil officials collectively did not like it, and mentioned that the emperor was stable, not to mention the image problem, if it hurts, can it still work normally? Zhao Tuan turned a deaf ear, what he wanted was influence! Even if it's an opposing voice, just get it out!

He continued to practice. Something happened one day. That day he was playing polo, which is a difficult sport that integrates complex movements such as equestrianism, polefighting, emergency stops, and sprints, which has always been very popular in the army, and can practice a very good tactical foundation while playing!

Zhao Tuan was full of energy and interest, and when he was having fun, he forgot about the life or death of the horse. The horse he was riding was so dizzy from repeated tossing and turning that he ran off course in a moment of excitement and galloped towards the low porch on the sidelines...

It was very sudden! The guards and forbidden soldiers didn't react, and they watched the horse rush towards the low house, and the emperor would definitely hit the eaves headlong when he saw the height!

Pray! Let Zhao Tuan be possessed by the ancestor Zhao Kuangyin at this moment! The hardness of the head is instantly invincible, even if you ride a horse and crash into the city wall, you are not afraid!

Miracles are often one-of-a-kind and cannot be replicated. Song Xiaozong Zhao Tuan has his own story! At the moment when his horse was about to hit the eaves, he suddenly jumped up from the saddle, quickly reached out and grabbed the eaves, hung his whole body in the air, let go and fell... The whole process looked immobile and calm. Then he took a new horse, turned over and jumped on it, and practiced again...

The audience cheered: My emperor is mighty, my emperor is calm, long live my emperor!

This thing flew under the sky of the Southern Song Dynasty like wings, and the image of the emperor Shangwu was initially established, and even everyone began to pay attention to the Northern Expedition...

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Tuan issued the Northern Expedition order in an official name for the first time! When the news came out, the whole country was in turmoil, first there was an earthquake in Deshou Palace, Zhao Gou roared like thunder on the Wangxian Bridge, and shouted Zhao Tuan to come over and explain immediately! No, you don't have to say anything, just go and announce that it was a slip of the tongue or a drunken nonsense!

Zhao Tuan was silent... This is the limit of his resistance, and it is impossible for him to have a verbal dispute with the "father" who gave him the throne, and then turn his face to each other and face each other coldly. That's unthinkable! In fact, all he had to do was keep his mouth shut and be silent to the end, and that was enough to show his determination!

Zhao Gou was tired of shouting, not so much that he was venting his anger, but that he was releasing his fear. This soft egg was frightened out of the real organic disorder by the Jurchens, tormenting him every moment, reminding him never to forget who is the master and who is the grandson!

At this time, he was in front of his grandson, but he couldn't control his son, and he didn't have the courage to sit at the front desk again to face the problem, and toss for a while. can only wave his hand to let Zhao Tuan get out...

Zhao Tuan is free, and after coming out of Deokshou Palace, the sky is suddenly wide and the world is clear, and he can finally do what he wants to do the most! After Song Xiaozong returned to the palace, he bypassed the obstruction of the officialdom, threw aside the three provinces and the Privy Council, and directly ordered Zhang Jun on the Jianghuai front: Start the Longxing Northern Expedition! I hope to be able to truly Longxing Da Song!

The Northern Expedition is about to begin, take a look at Zhang Jun's preparations on the Jianghuai front: the Jianghuai army is claimed to be 200,000, which is equivalent to the troops gathered by the Southern Song Dynasty near Jingkou when Yan Liang invaded the south, and it is said to be credible. But the same person does not have the same fate, and the colleague is not the same. Everything will change. Last time, it was an order from Zhao Gou, so it was 200,000. This time it's Zhao Tuan, and the numbers have also been reconciled! 80,000 regular soldiers and 50,000 people, this is the entire military strength of the Longxing Northern Expedition!

It looks very little, but it has been accumulated by Zhang Jun with all his might. For these, he recruited young men aged 18-45 in the Lianghuai region to form a Shenjin Army and garrison Jiankang. Recruit young people from Fujian, Liangzhejiang and other places to form a loyal army and garrison Lin'an. Recruit displaced people from the north and south to form Zhongyi, Zhongshun, Qiangyong, Yisheng and other armies, which are stationed in Zhenjiang, Huainan, Sichuan and other places. In exchange for a local regular soldier to fight... State affairs are like this, Zhang Jun is also a move, and he has put together as much as possible...

If there are not many soldiers, the generals must be strong! The Northern Expedition was divided into two routes. Zhang Jun personally ordered the generals: a generation of famous generals Li Xianzhong set out from Haozhou on Huainan West Road to attack Lingbi County, Suzhou, where Xiao Qi was stationed, and Shao Hongyuan, the scum of the army, set out from Sizhou to attack Hongxian County, Sizhou, where Fucha Tumu and Da Zhouren were stationed!

Li Xianzhong's strength is no less than that of Zhongxing's famous generals. Even personal martial arts must surpass Zhang, Liu, and Wu, and chase Han and Yue! It's just that the depth has not been reflected in the overall control!

Zhang Jun's Northern Expedition, Li Xianzhong was the first general he nodded. It can also be said that he is the chief general of the Northern Expedition. But the big move of the country can't rely on just one person, Zhang Jun matched him with a deputy Shao Hongyuan.

Before the Northern Expedition, Li Xianzhong was obviously three or four stories taller than Shao Hongyuan, and his official position and holy family were much more grand, and even the name "Li Xianzhong" was given by Song Gaozong. But he has a congenital defect on the most important point: Li Xianzhong is not a descendant!

Shaanxi Li is fierce, strong, courageous, and impeccable warriors. But he and his family first lowered gold, then Xia, and then pseudo-Qi, no matter what the inside story and process were, this is all iron-clad history, which cannot be changed. After returning to the Southern Song Dynasty, it was only a short honeymoon period with the official, and in a blink of an eye, he was angry with Qin Hui and Zhao Gou, and was beaten into the cold palace...

With such an experience, to put it harshly, Li Xianzhong is a strong man, and he is only pulled out when he needs to be pulled out and put on top! Officialdom is realistic, and countless bright eyes have seen this clearly, so something happened before the Northern Expedition went out!

Shao Hongyuan rebelled! Shao Yan compared himself with Li Xianzhong, and found that even if his ability was inferior to a few streets, he could not make up for his huge innate birth advantage. So he was unbalanced! Why do you want him to give Li Xianzhong a hand and be the second master?

Shao Hongyuan disobeyed and directly put forward conditions to Zhang Jun: he is also the main general, and he will definitely fight against Li Xianzhong, regardless of size!

It is said that this is looking for death, disobeying orders in battle, and battlefield discipline can be used at all, with dismissal at least and beheading at worst! Especially Zhang Jun, who is known for his strength, he was able to suppress Yue Fei back then, what is a little Shao Hongyuan at this time? If you want to die, let him die!

Strange things happen! Zhang Jun actually withdrew his order, let Shao Hongyuan lead the army alone, and allowed him to act cheaply. That is to say: From this moment on, Shao Hongyuan can do whatever he wants, and no one can restrain him!

And this order was issued by Emperor Zhao Tuan, issued by the commander-in-chief Zhang Jun, and announced to the entire army of the Northern Expedition! The military discipline of the Northern Expeditionary Army was corrupted from the very beginning. Many years later, when summing up the lessons learned, this article was highlighted, and I felt that this was the most fundamental reason between victory and defeat!

The army of the Southern Song Dynasty was mainly divided into five types: the garrison army, the forbidden army, the box army, the native soldiers, and the archers. The garrison army is the most elite part, and their predecessors are the direct line of the generals of Zhongxing. The forbidden army was reduced to the second class, and it did not go to the front line in peacetime, and there were few opportunities for actual combat. The van army is not worth it, it is equivalent to the security police. On the contrary, civilian organizations such as native soldiers and archers often give surprises, such as Wei Sheng and other magical uncles, whose combat effectiveness is not worse than that of the garrison army!

The Northern Expedition army was mainly composed of two parts: one was the four garrison armies of Jiankang, Zhenjiang, Chizhou, and Jiangzhou under the jurisdiction of Zhang Jun, the governor of Jianghuai. The second is the combination of the front division of the middle hall of the forbidden army and the division of the guard horse army. Tracing back to the source: the Jiankang garrison is Zhang Jun's troops, the Zhenjiang garrison is Han Shizhong's troops, the Chizhou garrison is Liu Guangshi's troops, and the palace front division is Yang Cunzhong's troops.

Those who are familiar with the history of the Song Dynasty can see at a glance that the two strongest troops of the Southern Song Dynasty, the two troops of Ezhou and Sichuan, were excluded and did not participate in this Northern Expedition...

Ezhou is for historical reasons. Yue Fei is the eternal scar of the Southern Song Dynasty, no matter which emperor, including Zhao Tuan, can avoid it. And when the Yuejia army was dismembered, the Southern Song Dynasty official did a perfect job, and the Yuejia army has become a legend, and the Ezhou army is no longer the invincible army that swept the world back then...

Sichuan is even more dead! This is a very strange phenomenon, almost every time the Southern Song Dynasty wants to raise the strength of the country to go on a northern expedition, Sichuan will suddenly have an accident, and the director will not be able to fight! For example, Yue Fei's Fourth Northern Expedition, when the four major generals of Zhongxing and Liu Qi both sent troops at the same time to launch a battlefield in the vast Central Plains. But at that time, Wu Jue, the main general of Sichuan, suddenly died...

This time, Sichuan Ben drove straight under the leadership of Wu Lan and won consecutive victories. But Shi Hao dug a pit and Zhao Tuan jumped, causing Wu Lan to lose most of the old foundation of the Sichuan army... The Sichuan army can only turn to the defense, and it is commendable to keep the west gate open!

More than 40 years later, such a scene will be repeated again! That time was related to Wu Lan's grandson, and the situation expanded to Wu Xi's rebellion, almost drawing a line with the Southern Song Dynasty!

That's an afterword. Back to the present: Zhang Jun, even if he is ambitious, is subject to practical conditions. The Northern Expeditionary Army has a total of more than 80,000 regular soldiers, including two large non-combatants, the Fire Head Army and the Baggage Army, and his strength is only in the early 60,000s...

In this way, it is decided that the front cannot be fully assisted! The Southern Song Dynasty army was divided into two routes: Li Xianzhong captured Lingbi and Shao Hongyuan attacked Hongxian. After the two armies achieve their respective goals, they will join forces to capture Suzhou!

Turning over the map of the Song Dynasty, we can see that many historical records are wrong. (To be continued......)
