"Well said!"

Zhao Hong patted the table lightly and said with appreciation:

"Just like I said in the Jinling Lecture Hall, you must remember that when the two armies meet, the brave wins. There is no shame in falling under the opponent's sword, knowing that he is invincible, he must show his sword and fight until the last moment, this is the spirit of the bright sword. ”

Young people are enthusiastic and fearless, and only in these hot-blooded men who sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths can we see the hope of the Great Song Dynasty.

Those civil servants who were eating vegetarian meals really made him unmotivated.

"Ministers, remember Your Majesty's teachings!"

"Keep in mind the ministers, kill yourself to become benevolent, and serve the country loyally!"

The generals clenched their fists, and everyone was flushed.

The officers trained by the Jinling Lecture and Martial Arts Hall are known for their sacrifice and dedication, and everyone knows the "Bright Sword Spirit".

Li Weiming's face outside the hall was hot, his heart was beating wildly, and he had goosebumps all over his body.

This Zhao Hong, after saying this, made her blood boil, and she couldn't help but go to ask Ying to kill the enemy on the battlefield.

How can this Song Emperor be so foolish?

In the camp, Zhao Hong continued to speak generously, saliva splashing.

"Yu Jue, Cao Youwan, Zhang Zhongxia, Yang Daquan, you lead the troops to the battle, and all the officers must keep it in mind. 10,000 soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, soaked in blood, I have no choice but to do it, you have to bring them well, and play the prestige of my Great Song soldiers. ”

Zhao Hong solemnly told the officers who were going to go on the expedition.

The first is to help the Western Xia defend the city and prevent the Western Xia from being easily subservient; the second is to wait for an opportunity to wantonly kill and injure the Mongol army and weaken the opponent's vital forces; The third is to take the opportunity to train soldiers through actual combat, even if half of them are killed or wounded, they can get 5,000 elite soldiers.

One pass ten, ten pass hundred, there are 5,000 veterans who have gone through actual battles, and you can bring out 50,000 elite border troops. The quality of the border army of the Great Song Dynasty will be qualitatively improved.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will not fail in their mission!"

On behalf of all the officers who went out, Yu Jue made a statement.

Defending the city, he has 100% confidence. He even wondered if he wanted to try field warfare and see if he could make some gains.

"Tell the soldiers who went out to fight that this battle is dangerous, and everyone needs to have the determination to die. I have ordered the Sichuan Department to allocate 3 million yuan, 200 yuan per person, as the settlement expenses of the soldiers on the expedition, 400 yuan for the war dead, 200 yuan for the return of the disabled, and another reward and promotion, which will be repaid after the war. In addition, I have transferred 200 first-class cadets who have just graduated from the Jinling Lecture and Martial Arts Hall to serve in the army to supplement the number of officers on the east and west roads of Lizhou. ”

Zhao Hong's words made Yu Jue and the others smile and relax.

In that year, the Song army recovered Hezhou, and Sichuan and Shaanxi proclaimed that Wang Zhiwang rewarded the three armies, and each soldier only got a dozen yuan, which was only enough to buy a baked cake. The soldiers threw the money on the ground one after another, complaining: "We are waiting to donate our lives to Hezhou, and our lives are not worth a pancake." ”

Discontent was pervasive, and the officers and men in the army had no motivation, so that Hezhou, which had been finally recovered, was broken by the Jin army, and tens of thousands of Song people were slaughtered. The magnitude of the losses is incalculable.

The emperor loves soldiers like sons, and he is generous, so the soldiers who go out on the expedition are much more at ease.

"On behalf of all the soldiers, thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

Yu Jue bowed solemnly, and was convinced.

The emperor is gracious, and he can only come to Japan to repay his kindness.

"At the beginning of the founding of the country, the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty was not correct. Scholars can't save the Great Song Dynasty, and the domineering martial artists can't save the Great Song Dynasty, only soldiers who serve the country and the people can bring the Great Song Dynasty back to life. ”

Sure enough, Zhao Hong's face was solemn, and he returned to the topic of governing martial arts with literature.

"Although the three households of Chu can die in Qin, how can there be no one in my hall. We are a big country with 70 million people, and we have been repeatedly bullied by those small barbarian countries with a population of hundreds of thousands or millions. Every time I think about it, I feel heartbroken, and I often can't sleep at night! ”

Zhao Hong was moved with true feelings, and his eyes turned red.

The suspicion of kings, the suppression of scholars, the jealousy of despicable people, etc., heroes are tragedies. The morale is sluggish, the flies are camping and the dogs are poor, and the birds and horses are in the house, and the dignified Han dynasty has lived into the city of Rakshasa country.

Since the Song Dynasty, the decline and fall of the Han dynasty seems to be accidental, but it is actually inevitable.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are ashamed!"

The lord humiliated his ministers to death, Zhao Hong's tone was sincere, Cao Youwen and Yu Yu and others knelt down on one knee to apologize, and some people had moist eyes and tears.

"Get up!"

Zhao Hong helped him for a moment, and all the generals stood up one after another.

"I still say that a nation without heroes is sad. A nation that has heroes but does not know how to admire is hopeless. For example, if Song Gaozong killed Yue Fei, he will definitely be spurned by future generations and nailed to the pillar of shame in history. In the future, I will build a martyr's shrine in the Great Song Dynasty to worship and remember those thousands of heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country, and pass on their heroic deeds to future generations, so that heroes like Yue Wumu will be admired by future generations from generation to generation. ”

"Your Majesty is painstaking, and it is difficult for the ministers to repay the king's kindness when they die!"

The generals' hearts shook again. The emperor has put another big move!

Although Qingshan is full of loyalty, there are sacrifices after the death of soldiers, and the soldiers will naturally fight bravely to kill the enemy.

The status of the military has been completely raised.

Li Weiming's heart swayed when he heard it outside the hall, and his face was red and white.

At this moment, she also felt that the fierce Mongolian cavalry was actually nothing to fear.

However, this Zhao Hong even dared to reprimand his ancestor Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, but it surprised her a little.

Did anyone scold their ancestors in front of outsiders?

The Great Song Dynasty didn't know, and Western Xia didn't seem to have it.

"Brethren, live well. Think about it, if you die in battle, how much more will I spend? You are all alive and well, and you can kill the enemy and spend less money. I'm right! ”

Zhao Hong's words made all the generals laugh, and everyone was warm.

The emperor was kind-hearted and loved his soldiers like sons, and even more so that these soldiers felt that they had nothing to repay, but to fight bravely to kill the enemy in order to repay the king's kindness.

"I speak from my heart. I also need you to expand the territory of the Great Song Dynasty and make contributions. The sixteen states of Yanyun in the north, the distant Western Regions, the Mobei of the plateau, the sea in the south and the east, all the old lands that our Han ancestors have stepped on will return to the embrace of our Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhao Hong said sensationally, feeling that his blood was hot.

"You have to remember one sentence, everything where the sun and the moon shine and where the rivers go is the land of the Han Dynasty!"

"Where the sun and the moon shine and the rivers go, they are all Han soil!"

"Your Majesty, the ministers have remembered!"

The soldiers were excited, noisy, and red-faced.

The emperor's words can be said to have spoken to the hearts of these arrogant soldiers.

In life, who doesn't want to make contributions to the iron horse?

"Soldiers, are you all settled in your home?"

Zhao Hong changed the topic and asked about the family affairs of the soldiers.

"Your Majesty Xie is worried, the minister's old mother, wife and children are all in Hanzhong, and there is nothing to settle down."

"Your Majesty, the Chen's family is all in Chuzhou, everything is fine!"

Yu Yu and Cao Youwan played to Zhao Hong.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, everything is fine!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, everything is fine!"

The generals were enthusiastic and replied one after another.

"Soldiers, rest assured, no matter who it is, if they sacrifice their lives for the country, the family will have their own court to take care of them, and I will personally take care of them."

Zhao Hong's face was secretly hot. I asked in passing, but it was what the soldiers were most concerned about.

"Yang Daquan, you are a Tianshui soldier, although you have never been to the martial arts hall, but you are talented and intelligent, and you have been on the battlefield, which can be of great use. When you come back, you will also go to the martial arts hall to further your studies and make contributions, and there will be more opportunities in the future! ”

Zhao Hong did not forget to cheer up the officers.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yang Daquan nodded and smiled.

The emperor is approachable and sincere, obviously not perfunctory to them, and the king of a country has no need for this at all.

"Zhang Zhongxia, as well as the generals in the southeast, from Lin'an City to Lingzhou Zhongxing Mansion outside the Saiwai, maybe you don't care about fighting with the Tatar army, but the winter there is cold, and it will be a test at that time. Everybody's going to hold on. ”

Zhao Hong told Zhang Zhongxia and others to come again.

In the late Southern Song Dynasty, in the middle of the 13th century, the grassland climate was warm and moist, and the grass was fertile and the horses were strong, which was conducive to the galloping of the cavalry, which was also the reason why the Mongolian cavalry repeatedly marched westward. Come to think of it, winter will not drip into ice, and the cold is overwhelming.

"Your Majesty, the minister and Luo Xianggong have talked about it, and the land of Xingling has not been too cold in recent years. Your Majesty can rest assured that the ministers must prepare winter clothes before the soldiers leave, so as not to let the soldiers get cold. ”

Cao Youwen solemnly asked for an order, and Zhao Hong nodded.

Cao Youwen did things, and he was still relieved.

Maybe when the time comes, you can bring a few craftsmen to prepare honeycomb coal and stoves in Western Xia to keep out the cold in winter.

"You all remember, sacrifice and dedication for the country and the people. As long as you remember these eight words, the country will not forget you, I will not forget you, and you have not come to this world in vain. ”

Zhao Hong faced everyone, and the summary he made was also full of heart, straight into the hearts of the people.

Killing the enemy on the battlefield and resisting foreign aggression naturally have to be handed over to the soldiers. Soldiers shed blood and sacrifice for the country, and the country will naturally not treat its heroes badly.

The officers left one after another, and only the three brothers Yu Yu and Cao Youwen were left in the camp.

"Cao Youwen, Yu Yu and Cao Youwan went on the expedition, and the military of the two roads in Lizhou will be under your command. The Tatar army will come at any time, you have to remember, people do not offend me, I will not offend. Those who offend my Great Song Dynasty will be punished even if they are strong! ”

After Zhao Hong told Cao Youwen, he turned to Cao Youwan and Yu Jue.

"Yu Jue, Cao Youwan, the soldiers are going on the expedition, you two must make proper arrangements, coordinate with the Jin people, and don't make any mistakes. When you arrive in Western Xia, you must remember to judge the situation and not be reckless, as long as you can kill and injure the opponent to the greatest extent. ”

Yu Jue and Cao Youwan were both frightened, and hurriedly hugged their fists to take their lives.

"You two remember, even if there are many hardships and blood sacrifices, you must persist until the end of June next year! Remember, it's the end of June next year! Not the end of June this year! ”

Zhao Hong told several of his proud protégés seriously, Yu and Cao nodded yes, and their hearts were heavy.

The date of dispatch should be in the middle of July, the hottest day. As for the end of June this year, perhaps the army has not yet set off.

It's been nearly a year, which is a long enough time.
