Chapter 357: The Future Situation
"Congratulations to Prime Minister Xiao!"
After the end of the council, Zhang Jian bowed to Xiao Feng: "After this meeting, it is one step closer to you fulfilling your long-cherished wish." ”
"Where. It's also thanks to the help of List, otherwise how could it be so easy?" Xiao Feng smiled reservedly.
In the parliament just now, the ancestral law of the Huaxia Dynasty was finally announced from the hands of everyone, and she also signed the ancestral law as the last prime minister of the Song Dynasty, and became the prime minister of the new dynasty.
It can be said that from this moment on, the Song Dynasty was declared to be destroyed, and the new Chinese Dynasty was born.
"It's just a pity that I'll only be the chairman for five years at best. If you want to help Prime Minister Xiao, I'm afraid it won't work. ”
Zhang Jian thought about everything that happened before, and naturally felt a little like a world away, originally the two sides could be regarded as the same fire, even if they really fought, he would not feel anything wrong, but now it is just an instant, and he returns to peace, all of which makes Zhang Jian feel a little incredible.
Xiao Feng smiled and said, "Oh? Isn't Chairman Zhang a little dissatisfied? If I can, I may be able to help you so that you can be re-elected?"
"No need. As long as it is one session, it is considered good. After all, I'm too old to last that long. Zhang Jian refused: "And the ancestral law also stipulates that it cannot be re-elected, how can I break this rule?"
According to the rules of the new ancestors, the chairman's term of office is five years, and of course he cannot be re-elected, as in Chang'an.
"That's just as well. Xiao Feng sighed slightly.
Regarding the chairmanship, the reason why she did this at the beginning was also to prevent someone from becoming more powerful and affecting her own position, and now although she is using this to win over Zhang Jian, the other party cannot violate this regulation.
"I don't care, after all, this council is so troublesome, I would have known that I wouldn't be in office. ”
Zhang Jian smiled softly, his eyes were slightly condensed, but he looked at Xiao Feng, and said, "It's just that Prime Minister Xiao is going to be bad." After all, it is stipulated in the ancestral law, and you have to be the prime minister for the rest of your life. ”
"It's also the love of everyone, otherwise how can you be the prime minister in vain?"
Xiao Feng smiled, then his expression became solemn, and he gritted his teeth and swore an oath: "I only hate that the Yuan army still occupies my country, it is really too deceitful." And as long as I am above this prime minister for one day, I will do everything to drive him out of the land of China. ”
Just like in Chang'an, Xiao Feng still held the position of prime minister in his hands, and fixed him as a lifelong prime minister through the means of Zu Lu, and did not adopt a term rotation system similar to that of the prime minister and the chairman.
Although this method made the Chang'an parliamentarians and the scholars of the Song Dynasty complain, they had no choice but to accept this system under the coercion from the north.
Of course, Zu Lu also stipulates that no one is allowed to hold these three positions concurrently, which is equivalent to Xiao Feng completely giving up the two positions of prime minister and chairman, and only holding military power. After all, in the current situation, Xiao Feng is the only one in the entire Huaxia Dynasty who has this prestige, and can lead the Huaxia army to completely defeat the Yuan army.
As for the emperor, he has completely become a graphic seal, and he only has some ceremonial power of sacrifice, and he no longer has the ability to meddle in the government and the army.
Seeing Xiao Feng's determination, Zhang Jian naturally admired it incomparably, and arched his hand and said, "Then I wish Prime Minister Xiao success!"
"Thank you for your good words. ”
Xiao Feng replied: "And this time, it will naturally make Na Boyan and the others pay the price, understanding that we and the Han family's sons are not easy to bully." ”
She had already wasted too much time here, if it weren't for the fact that the ancestral law had not been completed, and the territory of the Song Dynasty that had just been occupied had not yet been stabilized, Xiao Feng was afraid that she would have already taken her army directly south to attack the Yuan army.
When Zhang Jian heard this, he was naturally worried and asked, "Then I don't know where Prime Minister Xiao plans to attack this time?"
"Naturally, it's Jinling Mansion. You must know that Jinling Mansion is located on the edge of the Yangtze River, and it is the key place to control the Yangtze River. As long as this place is opened, then our army can enter the East China Sea along the Yangtze River. At that time, with the newly built ironclad ship, it will naturally be able to cut off the opponent's logistical supply. When the logistics are cut off, how will the Yuan army still struggle? Naturally, there is only one way to defeat. Xiao Feng replied confidently.
Regarding this strategy, she had already asked Zheng Yuanlong and others to organize a discussion for a long time before formulating this strategy.
And as long as the absolute grain road can be broken, with the appearance of the Yuan army going deep alone, it can only fail.
After hearing this, Zhang Jian was amazed: "If this plan can be successful, the land south of the Yangtze River will be in the hands of Prime Minister Xiao." At that time, the Yuan Dynasty will definitely collapse and will no longer be able to go south. ”
"It's nature. ”
Xiao Feng replied confidently: "And in this battle, I want Na Boyan, and the whole army will be annihilated!"
A "total annihilation" has already announced what Xiao Feng thinks in his heart, and its purpose is only to eliminate the Yuan army, as for the rest, it is just brought in passing.
Thinking of this, Xiao Feng said to Zhang Jian again: "It's just here, please also make sure that you are stable, and there must be no danger." After all, only a stable rear can guarantee stability at the front, understand?"
"Prime Minister Xiao, please rest assured, I naturally understand this. Zhang Jian bowed and watched Xiao Feng step onto the battleship, reflecting the sun and heading towards the east.
And among the more than 500 warships, there were 100,000 troops. During these days, the Huaxia Army also began to rectify the accepted Song Army, eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled, select outstanding soldiers, and train them in actual combat, so that they can meet the standards of the Huaxia Army.
These 100,000 troops were the foundation for Xiao Feng's confident capture of Jinling Mansion and victory over the Yuan army.
And an army like them will only continue to swell as the Huaxia army's gains continue to expand, and until it completely crushes the Yuan army.
............
Lin'an.
After listening to Ah Rahan's report, Bo Yan's brows furrowed: "You mean, that Xiao Feng left Jiangling Mansion?"
"That's right. According to our spy report, just ten days ago, Xiao Feng personally led an army of 100,000 to leave Jiangling Mansion. According to the last general, she should have come for the Jinling Mansion. Arhan looked worried.
If it was just Lu Wenhuan and Gundam, they would not be afraid, but it was Xiao Feng who came, which naturally made them tremble.
Bo Yan frowned with worry and asked, "100,000 troops? Where did she get the 100,000 army? You must know that we only have 100,000 troops in our hands." ”
When he conquered the Song Dynasty, the army under his command was only 100,000, and the rest were just the people and servants who acted with the army, and there was a considerable gap between the 500,000 army announced in his mouth.
There is no way, the territory of the Yuan Dynasty is too vast, and it is too troublesome to collect troops from all over the country.
"According to the general's inference, this 100,000 army should be composed of the original Song army. Arakhan replied.
"Song Jun?" Bo Yan clenched his hands tightly, his face showing a bit of horror.
Arhan replied, "That's right. Seeing Bo Yan's appearance, he was even more confused, and said: "It's just a general, aren't you afraid of them?" Then he smiled dumbly and replied: "In Yichen's opinion, even if Xiao Feng has an army of 100,000, there is nothing to be afraid of. After all, we also know what Song Jun looks like. It is difficult to change a person, and he will be able to change his appearance, and his combat effectiveness will skyrocket. ”
For those Song troops, Ah Rahan also knew something, after all, the number of Song troops who took refuge in them was not a few.
As for what these Song troops are like, Ah Rahan is also very clear, bullying the weak, forcibly seizing people's property, saying that they are the pillars of the country, but in fact, they are no different from thieves.
Boyan sighed gloomily and said, "If this is really the case, then what?"
"Is that really the case? is it possible?" said Arhan, nervous.
Bo Yan closed his head and replied: "If it is that Xiao Feng, this kind of thing is not impossible. ”
"If that's the case, then we're afraid it's really dangerous. Arhan felt the same and fell silent.
Although it is said that the soldiers are expensive but not too expensive, but if it is a well-trained soldier, the more the merrier.
Judging from the previous battles, the Huaxia army has always had a set of ways to improve the level of soldiers, if they really transformed those Song troops into enough to match the soldiers of the Huaxia army, even if it was only fifty percent, it would be a disaster for the Yuan army.
The difference between twice the strength of troops is not something that can be made up by tactics.
Boyan sighed lightly and replied, "No matter what, let's do our best." I only hope that this time, we can return to Dadu smoothly, and that is lucky. ”
"Successfully return to Dadu?" Ah Rahan was slightly stunned in his heart, and asked in a low voice: "Marshal, is it really so serious this time?"
"What do you think?" Bo Yan shook his head, with a mockery on his face, and said: "Those generals think so, forget the threat of the Huaxia army? Or do you think that as long as we break through Lin'an, we will really be able to occupy the Song Dynasty?" Seeing that Ah Rahan was still so at a loss, he said again: "Just looking at the performance of the rebel army, you should understand that we have no victory at all, but just let yourself fall into this quagmire called opening up the territory." ”
Ah Rahan only felt the coldness of his body, and replied: "According to what the marshal said, didn't we fail this time?"
"That's right. From the very beginning, we have become Xiao Feng's pawns. It's just that the hated saint didn't wake up, but was bewitched by those scholars and doctors, and wanted to play something to unify the country? Trying to annex the Song Dynasty so as to expand its power and completely defeat the Huaxia army? However, the Huaxia army and the Song Dynasty are of the same language and species, how can they easily join our court? Otherwise, how can there be so many righteous troops?" Bo Yan replied angrily, since the beginning he has been quite vigilant about the southern expedition, but unfortunately he still can't resist Ali Buge's ambition to dominate the country, and was forced to come to the Song Dynasty.
"This time, if we manage to escape, it may be good. But if we can't escape, then this land of China will no longer belong to us. ”
sighed, Boyan seemed to have expected the future development, and there was a sense of fatigue on his face.
Although the Yuan Dynasty was huge, most of the places it occupied were barren, and it was too difficult to mobilize troops from afar. If this southern expedition had not been supported by the occupied Chinese territory, they would have been categorically unable to bear it. And just by gathering enough of these soldiers, the people's livelihood is already boiling, and the countryside is full of rebels, so that the government is also anxious, if this southern expedition fails, the consequences are unimaginable.
Knowing this, Boyan was even more afraid, for fear that he would fail.
When Arakhan heard this, he was naturally shocked.
"If all this is really like this, then how terrible is Xiao Feng?"
