"Yangzhou, I'm back again!"

Stepping off the boat, Zhao Pu took a deep breath and said.

After more than ten days of boat trips, I finally returned to Yangzhou again. When I came to Yangzhou that time, Yangzhou was prosperous, the city was full of shops, the traffic was busy, it was like heaven, the literati were drunk and dreamed of death, the scholars were picking up girls, and the war seemed to be very far away.

At this moment, Yangzhou has experienced a catastrophe, just eleven days after attacking, Yangzhou has broken the city, and it is not strong!

In the drunken gold fan, how high can you count on combat effectiveness.

After the fall of Yangzhou, the tragic scene began, and after the war, there were about 200,000 corpses.

And blood is the best lesson. After experiencing a nightmare, Yangzhou began to undergo a metamorphosis, and at this moment it is less flashy and more real. If the Jin army goes south again, it may last longer.

And Yangzhou, the former hub of the north and south. With the outbreak of the war, with the interruption of the canal, it became the front line of the war, and it was difficult to restore prosperity, unless the world was unified, unless it was restored to the peaceful and prosperous era again, otherwise Yangzhou could only continue to be reduced to a second-rate city.

"Your Majesty, Wechen pleases guilt!" Zhao Ding fell to his knees, with a whimper in his voice.

The literati defend the city, and they don't do anything. At least during the Warring States Period, Zhao Kuo was ambushed, and he fought for 49 days before he ran out of ammunition and died; And Zhao Ding guarded Yangzhou, prepared in many ways, raised in many ways, and spent a lot of thought, but he only guarded it for ten days and lost it, which is really a waste scum.

The former has Li Gang, the latter has Zhao Ding, and there will be many people later.

Zhao Pu didn't bother to pay attention to it, turned his head and left.

"Your Majesty ......!" Zhao Ding cried bitterly.

The crime of losing Yangzhou was only guarded for ten days, and the crime was so great that it did not lead to death. But demotion is inevitable, and Li Gang is his role model!

…………

In the palace, Zhao Pu is resting here temporarily!

"Your Majesty, this battle is not Lord Zhao's fault......" Yue Fei on the side pleaded.

"If you lose, you are defeated, and the enemy will not give you a reason!" Zhao Pu said calmly, "Losers don't need a reason!" ”

"Your Majesty, why don't you give Lord Zhao a chance?" Yue Fei said.

"Opportunity?" Zhao Pu shook his head and said, "There is only one chance, after losing it." Never again! ”

Yue Fei wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhao Pu, and he had no choice but to retreat.

Sitting on the chair, Zhao Pu suddenly felt tired and leaned back on the chair. The expression was a little dazed. When the emperor was too tired, Wenchen was mostly mouthful. Military generals are mostly wasted. There are many problems in Da Song, which need to be sorted out one by one, and these cannot be impatient, and need to be solved slowly. This time when he arrives in Jiangnan, Jiangnan will be the base of the Northern Expedition, and he will imitate Zhu Yuanzhang. The Northern Expedition.

It's just that this way, the failure rate is too high.

There are too many people who shout about the Northern Expedition and carry out the Northern Expedition. It's just that most of them fail. Zhu Yuanzhang is the only one who succeeds, can he succeed?

This time I went to the south of the Yangtze River, as if I was conducting a scientific expedition, and if it succeeded, the Northern Expedition was expected, but if it failed, it would never recover, and there were no bones.

I was a little bored, a little depressed, and I was very sleepy unconsciously, and gradually fell asleep in bed.

I don't know how long it took, when I woke up again, I saw Wang Wuyue standing aside, as if waiting for something

Wang Wuyue said: "Your Majesty, you are awake!" “

Zhao Pu said: "Wake up, is there anything wrong?" ”

Wang Wuyue said: "Lord Zhao, kneel in front of the hall and ask Your Majesty for your guilt!" “

"Please!" Zhao Pu sneered, "It's easy for him to ask for guilt, but it's difficult to resurrect the 200,000 people who died in Yangzhou!" “

Wang Wuyue said: "Lord Zhao, you have been kneeling in front of the hall for an hour! “

"Let him in!"

When Zhao Ding came in, his expression was a little haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and he knelt down on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the guilty minister pleads guilty to Your Majesty!" ”

"Tell me, what are you defeated! It doesn't matter if you lose, I can afford to pay the tuition, and if 100,000 people die, I will recruit another 100,000 soldiers for you. But you have to at least tell me, why did the soldiers die, why did Yangzhou City fall, and why did it only last for ten days? Zhao Pu asked, with a calm tone in his tone.

The first battle is very important, and the first battle is related to morale!

Morale, especially in the age of cold weapons, is crucial.

After half a year of operation, Yangzhou should be able to support it for a period of time, but it fell in a hurry in actual combat, resulting in a great decline in the morale of the Jiangnan troops, triggering a domino effect, and Jiangnan almost collapsed. In many places, they often fled without a fight, only to be cut down by the Jin army in the middle of the road.

Zhao Ding said: "First, Jiangnan has been comfortable for a long time, the people are weak, and there is a lack of martial arts; Second, there was a shortage of finances, and we raised money in many ways, but the heroes and the strong caused disaster, and the results were very small; Third, the neighbors are cunning, and the Jin army has learned the layout of the city defense; Fourth,............"

Zhao Ding said a lot of reasons, all of which are clichés.

And Zhao Pu listened quietly until Zhao Ding didn't say anything!

"But are you done, is there anything else?" Zhao Pu sneered, "That's your reason!" ”

Zhao Ding was silent and speechless.

"Look, what is this?" Zhao Pu slapped the table, stretched out his hand, and threw a booklet over.

Zhao Ding took the booklet and looked at it carefully, but the more he looked at it, the more panicked he became, and said weakly: "Your Majesty, isn't this true?" ”

"Not really?" Zhao Pu sneered, "The day before the war, I went to Wanhualou in Yangzhou City to drink and compose poems, what a real interest!" Can't you endure it for a few days? There is also a lack of money and not enough to reward the soldiers, so those merchants will donate, and if they don't donate, they will raid their homes; If there is a spy of the Jin Army, then cut and kill, it is better to kill a hundred people by mistake than let one person slip through the net, regardless of who he is in the background. Remember, this is the moment when the life and death of the Great Song Dynasty is in danger, and if you are not careful, the Great Song Dynasty will die, and we can't afford to lose. In order to defeat the Jin army, I would rather live twenty years less; In order to defeat the Jin army, I am willing to leave a stench for 10,000 years; In order to defeat the Jin army, I would rather ambush millions of corpses; In order to defeat the Jin army, I am willing to set the Great Song economy back twenty years. I am willing to sacrifice everything in order to defeat the Jin army. If anyone stands in my way, I will destroy him, and whoever goes against the road of resistance to gold, I will destroy him! ”

"It doesn't matter if you lose, the army of more than 100,000 is gone, I'll give it to you again, I can afford to lose, and I don't care about that loss! But you also have to fight, why don't you fight, why look ahead, why are you always worried. You've let me down so much! ”

I am very disappointed, Zhao Pu seems that there is no one under his command who can be brave and can be called a good minister of governance.

It doesn't matter if there are shortcomings, but at least the shortcomings do not affect the anti-gold.

And this time Zhao Ding lost the battle, Zhao Pu was not angry, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and the Song Dynasty defeated the battle every day, and there was no shortage of this time. The odious thing is that Zhao Ding's reason for defeating the battle; The day before the Jin army attacked Yangzhou, Zhao Ding also had a banquet with some Wenchen in Baihualou, listening to tunes and picking up girls.

Pick up the girl, it also depends on the time! The girl can't finish it, and the woman can't finish sleeping, so why rush to squeeze the time, on the eve of the Jin Army's fight, stop a little, take a day less girl, soak a day less, can you die!

In the Great War, the reward money for the soldiers was not enough, the reason was that Zhao Ding was embarrassed to do something to those gentry.

Why are you embarrassed to do it, because these gentry are all scholars and are "related", Zhao Ding is embarrassed to do it.

Sad! The Jin army called, and you were embarrassed to do anything, but the Jin army was embarrassed to attack the city. Be a good person, lose all the faces of scholars, crying children have milk to eat, and people with black faces and thick faces live a long life.

It's a pity that Zhao Ding's face is not thick, his heart is not black, and he can't cry, so he has no milk to eat, and Yangzhou doesn't live long.

In short, the reason why Yangzhou fell is mainly due to Zhao Ding's administrative inaction!

Historically, when Shi Kefa of the Ming Dynasty defended Yangzhou, Yangzhou fell in just a few days, and the Yangzhou Massacre began. He was martyred for the country, although his sentiments were noble, but his ability was too poor. If before the war, actively prepare for the war and build the city wall, Yangzhou would not have fallen in a few days; If before the war, he could actively train his soldiers and have the courage to fight, Yangzhou would not have lost so badly.

In fact, Shi Kefa could not escape the blame for the fall of Yangzhou, because his administrative inaction caused Yangzhou to fall easily.

And Zhao Ding is also the Song Dynasty version of Shi Kefa!

If the situation is critical, Zhao Ding may really be killed. It's just that he can't do anything but kill himself. controlled the power in vain, and did not build Yangzhou as solid, but as paper-paste, just by touching, it was shattered. Everything is that he has too many scruples and administrative inaction, which leads to the easy fall of Yangzhou.

At least, in Zhao Pu's opinion, if Yangzhou's city defense is strong and painstakingly managed, it is enough to resist the Jin army for more than a month, or even longer. And this month was enough to weaken the morale of the Jin army, enough to exhaust the Jin army, and also give the Song army on the south bank of the Yangtze River a chance to counterattack.

It's just that, in fact, in just ten days, Yangzhou fell.

Everything is like papier-mâché, and it shatters when you touch it!

The loss of Yangzhou is not only the loss of the bridgehead on the north bank of the Yangtze River, but also the morale of the entire Jiangnan is greatly weakened, and the people are frightened, and there is no determination to dare to fight. Just run, where can you run, often to the ghost gate! As a result, there was a catastrophe in Jiangnan!

All of this is determined by Zhao Ding's character!

Zhao Ding is a literati, and literati are always indecisive, lack of determination, lack of courage to fight and kill, and lack of determination to fight to the death.

"War, not piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, not poetry and lyrics, not grass hall fighting, not so elegant and chic, calm, some are just bloody, some are just death, not you will die!" Zhao Pu said coldly, "Go down!" Go and write a guilty fold, don't talk too much nonsense; There's so much nonsense, I'm too lazy to watch! (To be continued......)
