Just after the hour, Lin'an City, Yujie, and Harmony Fang.

The entrance of Chen's bookstore, the largest in Lin'an City, is bustling and crowded, extending from Muqinfang to Yujie, and the streets and alleys are blocked and the water is impassable.

There are the most bookstores in the area of Muqinfang, and it is also a prosperous place for printing poetry collections and anthologies, and scholars often gather here. However, such a large flow of people is really rare.

"What's going on, this Chen's bookstore has released new books?"

On the royal street, Li Bantou of the Yamen of Lin'an Mansion looked at the surging crowd and asked the accompanying officials suspiciously.

Chen's Bookstore is the largest bookstore in Beijing, with exquisite production and clear printing, and every time a new book is listed, it is a big sale.

Today is crowded with people, and it seems that this time is no exception.

"Li Bantou, I don't know. Could there be some big case? ”

The officials were also confused.

"Rubbish! You know how to go to the tile shop and drink flower wine! ”

Li Bantou glared at his subordinates and grabbed a passerby.

"What happened, how could there be so many people?"

In case something big happens, he will be accused by the officials that he is derelict in his duties, and he will not know what to ask.

"You don't know? The prince Zhao Hong released a new book, and he had to talk about it on the spot, which was lively! ”

After the passer-by finished speaking, he left in a hurry and joined the crowd.

Chen's bookstore is famous in Lin'an City, and the prince Zhao Hong printed new books in Chen's bookstore, and also explained on the spot, no wonder the people of Lin'an City flocked to it.

Everyone knows that the prince Zhao Hong is a new upstart in the literary world in Lin'an City, and every poem is a masterpiece of the world, and it is not strange that so many people are crazy about it.

"Let's go, come with me and see, don't make any trouble!"

Li Bantou wiped the sweat on his fat face and was secretly envious.

So many people come to Chen's bookstore, and Chen's bookstore is about to make money.

When I arrived at the Harmony Workshop, the streets were already overcrowded, the streets were tightly blocked, and the sedan chairs, donkeys, carriages, and traffic on the street were basically paralyzed.

The first few people in the Li class were dumbfounded, so many people couldn't get through, they couldn't squeeze in, and they still maintained a fart law and order.

In the backyard of Chen's bookstore, on the stools in the courtyard and on the corridors around it, there are all people who come to listen to the good books and bad books, most of them are scholars, but also high-ranking officials and ordinary people.

In the center of the courtyard, there are several tables, on which melons, fruits and cakes are complete, as well as fragrant tea and wine, the stars hold the moon, and the seat is not rich or expensive, and the worst is also a celebrity.

Wei Liaoweng, the secretary of the military department, Yin Wujing of Lin'an Mansion are firmly in the C position, Yang Yi, who is dressed as a man, Zhen Zhidao and Wei Jinyu, the famous masters of the Jianghu poetry school, Dai Gugu and Ye Shaoweng, and Jiang Wanli, a student of Taixue, and others.

Everyone and the other listeners were looking at the desks on the steps in front of them, and Zhao Hong was talking eloquently.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about the Tatars' siege and field tactics."

Facing the crowded and full of soldiers, his eyes swept over Wei Jinyu, who was eating watermelon, Zhao Hong was calm and said aloud.

Such a scene is much grander and more magnificent than when he was teaching. However, having a similar experience, he is not stage frightened, and treats the audience as his own students.

Left and right, it's just a change of podium.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Tatars invaded one place, marched on all sides, divided their forces and slaughtered the inhabitants of the villages, leaving only a few prisoners for the construction of the camp or for the siege of the city. It was ruined, and the troops were stationed near the fort to prevent the soldiers from coming out. If a large city is in difficulty, attack the surrounding areas first. During the siege, a permanent ambush was set up to lure the defenders out of the city, causing many damages. The guards and inhabitants were lured out of the city by rangers, and the people of the city were often tricked. ”

There were more and more onlookers, especially some young women who joined in, and Zhao Hong, who was giving a speech, was also excited and quickly entered the state.

"The Tatars built fortifications around the city, drove the captives under the fortifications, and forced them to do the most difficult and dangerous fortifications. If the besieged were not lured by them, or were not threatened by them, the trenches were filled in and the city was attacked with artillery. The captives and the soldiers of the nation were ordered to ascend first, and to attack again day and night, so that the defenders of the city could not fight. ”

The Tatar cavalry numbered their horses and came and went like the wind. Without technology that was ahead of its time, there was simply no way to escape.

It seems that he went straight to the research and development of firearms, and this path is the right one.

Zhao Hong's words made the people below silent, and everyone looked at Zhao Hong calmly and listened to his speech.

For this speech, he practiced hard in front of the house for a long time, reciting it repeatedly, and put a lot of effort into it.

"The most important thing for the Tatars to raise their morale and fighting spirit and destroy the enemy is the ability of the commander and the success of his army, the second is his sense of national superiority, and the third is the plundering of goods and goods.

Zhao Hong continued to speak, saliva flew sideways, and several people sitting in the front row raised folding fans to cover it.

"The Tatar army drank horse milk, cow and sheep cheese; Cattle and sheep are eaten, or prey rabbits, deer, fish, etc., most of which are roasted over fire and rarely cooked. The generals in his army live as nomadic herders, and no matter when and where, life is the same as that of non-commissioned officers, officers and soldiers. ”

The Tatar army did not need logistical supplies, but attacked cities and plundered without rear.

Compared with the Central Plains army, which had to carry a large amount of heavy grain and grass when going out, the logistical advantages of the Tatar army were too obvious.

As he spoke, Zhao Hong's mood also became heavy.

He had never experienced battlefield fighting, the kind of cavalry impact, the shooting scene of the rain of arrows in the sky, he felt cruel and frightened when he thought about it.

If the Great Song Dynasty does not train its troops and reorganize its armaments, I am afraid that it will really be vulnerable.

"The Tatar army consisted of cavalry, which was quick and mobile, not only agile in action, but also had the widest range of movement. Before capturing a place, destroy it on the ground and then concentrate on attacking the stronghold. If a great city is not easy to take, first break its perimeter and make it an isolated dead city, which cannot be surrendered. The Tatar occupation of the central capital of the Jin State was this method of warfare. ”

Zhao Hong continued to speak, and everyone was shocked when they heard it, and they immediately asked one after another.

"The Tatars are barbarians in the north, will they also attack the city?"

"That is, apart from horseback archery, will they make siege equipment?"

Everyone asked questions, and Zhao Hong pressed down with both hands, solemnly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Tatars raided the Jin people and the Great Food, and recruited craftsmen in the two places to make war equipment. The destruction of the enemy city by the Tatars is also done with fire and water, or with the tools of fire, or with water. Sometimes tunnels were dug into the city. Sometimes, by attacking the city, they abandoned their radiances and fell under the city, and retreated to a place far away, so that the enemy would not know that they were infested, and they hurried back with light horses, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, and attacking the city. If the Tatars could not attack the city, how could they capture the central capital of the Jin people? ”

If you think that the Mongol army will only fight in the field, you underestimate them. Stone throwers, ballistas, tunnel warfare, flooding, etc., these basic siege equipment and methods, the Mongolian army will know.

These additions from Yan Chun's family can be described as just right.

"Your Highness, the Tatars are in the north, and there are Jin people in the middle, no matter how fierce the Tatars are, what does it have to do with my Great Song? The Tatars had a feud with the Jin, so they wanted to destroy their country. But my Great Song Dynasty has no grievances or hatred with the Tatars, so how can I threaten it? ”

Someone asked again, looking at his wide robe and slow sleeves, well-dressed, and graceful, obviously a meritorious scholar.

"The wolf eats the sheep, and you still have to ask why? At that time, the shame of Jingkang, the Jurchens went south, occupied half of our Great Song Dynasty, and drove you to the south of Huaishui. Are they reasonable? ”

Zhao Hong smiled slightly, trying to be as calm as possible.

"The Tatars believe in the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, and the law of the jungle. I am rich in the Great Song Dynasty, and with the nature of the tiger and wolf of the Tatars, will I not invade the south? The Tatars used their troops, used many tricks, and did not hesitate to lure the enemy into opening the city for all kinds of promises; The people of the city believed the beggars who opened the city, and the Tatar soldiers slaughtered them. No great city was spared from destruction, and although its inhabitants voluntarily surrendered and went out to meet the mercy of the Tatar soldiers, they were not spared from being slaughtered. The Tatar soldiers did not want to have inhabitants on the back road, but made them have worries. ”

Zhao Hong smiled coldly, and his voice became louder.

"Therefore, you should pay attention, once the Tatars attack, the children who are taller than the wheels will not be spared, and you will bless your offspring."

"Your Highness, aren't you alarmist?"

"Yes! Your Highness, isn't this a bit groundless? ”

"Your Highness, the Kingdom of Jin and Western Xia are still there, and it is unknown whether the Tatars can destroy them. The battle with my Great Song Dynasty is too much to take for granted! ”

There are still many people who disagree and refute Zhao Honglai.

The world, Lang Lang Qiankun, Zhao Hong, isn't he talking about it and scaring himself?

"Ladies and gentlemen, what I have said below is based on what the Tatar army did in Lianghe and Western Xia, and it is not false. However, this is the next family's words, which is to discuss with you, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and play a warning role. ”

Zhao Hong bowed with a smile on his face.

Some people don't think so, but there are certainly people who are prepared for danger in times of peace. As long as he can arouse the alarm of some people, he has already achieved his goal.

"Your Highness, is everything you say in this book true?"

Yang Yi, who was dressed as a man, asked lazily, attracting a passionate gaze of envy, but she was strolling around and didn't care.

"Is it nonsense in the next place, just ask how many people are still in Lianghe today."

Zhao Hong said seriously.

He didn't think about who to do the "trust", so as to make the atmosphere more enthusiastic. This Yang Yi is obviously not.

"Your Highness, how long do you think the Jin Kingdom can last? When will my Great Song Dynasty be able to restore the Central Plains? ”

Someone else couldn't wait and asked loudly.

Obviously, this is the part that has been woken up.

Zhao Hong glanced at him and was startled.

The person who asked the question had a hideous face, a face full of meat, and a brocade robe, wasn't it Zhou Da, the family member of his mother-in-law's mother-in-law's Zhou Mansion?

Needless to say, this is a proper "trust" arranged by Zhou Ping.

"That's a good question. I don't know when the Central Plains will be restored. But the Jin State may not last long, at most seven or eight years, and it will be wiped out by the Tatar army. My Great Song Dynasty is much richer than the Jin Kingdom, do you think about it, will the Tatar army go south? ”

Zhao Hong stabilized his mind, and as he spoke, his face became solemn again.

"So, guys, you've only had seven or eight years, or even five or six years of happy time. When the time comes, the war will be together, but it will not be so leisurely, and life will not be so easy. ”

Everyone was surprised, and then there was a lot of chatter, and many people were obviously attracted by Zhao Hong's shocking words.

Five or six years, seven or eight years of happy times. How did he figure out this talented prince?

"Your Highness, you stay in Lin'an City all day, how do you know these things? You're guessing, isn't it nonsense? ”

A personable gentleman, unusually chic, suddenly spoke.

"Your Highness, as far as I know, there is no major war in the north. Whether it is the Western Xia or the Jin Kingdom, they are recuperating their energy to prepare for side affairs. There are only a million Tatars, even if they conflict with my Great Song Dynasty, can they take advantage? Your Highness, are you alarmist? ”

There was an audience member in another corner who suddenly asked about Zhao Honglai.

Seeing that the two of them are well-dressed, they obviously have heads and faces, but Zhao Hong can't remember where he has seen the two.

If what he expected was right, this should be the opponent's "gunner".

[These days, I go out during the day and can only write at night.] I'm sorry.

I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival. 】
