At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 16 I am determined
"On the battlefield, we advance side by side and retreat in formation. There is no room for us to dodge or maneuver. We can only respond with swords, spears and stabs from the opposite side. The faster one will live, the slower one will die.

Therefore, we only need to practice two moves, knife slashing and spear stabbing. Remember, your hands must be steady..."

Zhao Shi stood at the head of the group of young men, holding a wooden gun hard and exercising his physical strength.

It was already March [-]th, and all the raw materials had been prepared into gunpowder. Zhao Shi asked his personal guards to train together.

The emperor personally participated in the training, and the young men were encouraged and their morale was high. Even the soldiers in the city were in high spirits, both in training and on guard.

Training during the day and reading and literacy at night, Zhao was training the young men as officers.

After all, he was only eight years old. After a quarter of an hour, Zhao Shi was exhausted. In order not to harm his health, Zhao Shi stepped aside to rest.

After a while, Mrs. Cai brought the food.

Zhao Shi didn't eat first. After the instructor dismissed the entire army, he divided the food among everyone.

The young people lined up to get food, and they couldn't help but say "Thank you, Your Majesty" after catching the food scooped by Zhao Shi.

"Train hard and kill all the thieves!" Zhao Shi encouraged.

In the end, after everyone had eaten, Zhao was the one who took action.

The rice is enough, and the vegetables are a random stew of green vegetables, tofu and diced meat. If Wenzhou's big families hadn't been eliminated, they would never be able to afford such a meal.

After eating, continue training.

At this time, Yang Shichang ran over and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Lu has invited me."

"Wu Ada, take charge of the training." Zhao Shi gave the instruction to the coach and followed Yang Shichang out of the school field.

Yang Shichang lowered his voice and said: "Jiang Zheng sent people to report. Yuan General Liu Shen sent three thousand forward troops to arrive outside Qingtian County. The war is just around the corner."

"I had expected it." Zhao Shi took a deep breath and suppressed the fluctuations in his heart.

If the Yuan army didn't come, I would think about it day and night, and I wouldn't be able to eat well and sleep uneasily. Now that it's here, my heart is set.

All the preparations that need to be made have been made, and the only thing left is to fight to the death. The winner will live, the loser will die, that's all.

When they arrived at the state government office, they were greeted by Lu Xiufu, Liu Fu, Chen Wenlong and Zhao Jifu.

Zhao Shi said: "The war is about to break out, so I will dispense with the formality. Let's go in and talk."

After entering, Zhao gave everyone a seat and began to discuss matters.

"Jiang Zheng sent a clipper to report that Yuan general Liu Shen was out of the state, and his [-] forwards have arrived outside Qingtian city." Zhao Jifu emphasized the military situation again.

Zhao Shi smiled and said: "But I didn't want to arrive today."

Zhao Jifu said: "It's not that Liu Shen didn't want to come early, it's that he was severely damaged in the Battle of Wuzhou and had to be repaired. Now he's coming back with a fierce force."

When he left Lin'an, it was Fan Wenhu who pursued the two kings. Later, when he entered Wuzhou, the pursuer was Liu Shen.

Liu Shen, a native of Baodi (Baodi District, Tianjin), was promoted for his meritorious service during the Battle of Ezhou during the Song and Yuan Dynasties. He repeatedly made military exploits in the war against the Southern Song Dynasty in the past two years, and his official position soared. Now he is awarded the title of General Zhaoyong and Hezhou Daruhuachi. , wearing a golden tiger talisman, and managing thousands of military households, it can be said that he is in a high and powerful position.

In mid-February, he fought a bloody battle with Jiang Wanzai's troops in Wuzhou. Although he won and Jiang Yu committed suicide by drowning, his troops suffered heavy losses and had to stay in Wuzhou to rest.

Zhao Shi said: "Although the grand master has gone south to Fujian, Jiang Zheng is also a big deal. He and Liu Shen have a feud between the country and the family, and they have enough soldiers and food. It will not be difficult to occupy the city and defend it."

"Qingtian County has [-] soldiers, [-] of which are new soldiers. Jiang Zhizhi is under considerable pressure." Lu Xiufu said.

"Thanks to His Majesty's guidance, Qingtian County now has [-] dan of grain, which can be eaten until after the summer harvest." Zhao Jifu said.

There is indeed enough food, and the soldiers are not elite, but there is not much we can do, because [-] of Wenzhou's [-] soldiers are new soldiers and cannot provide support.

Zhao Shi asked: "How is Taizhou?"

Zhao Jifu replied: "Liu Jiedu has taken control of the city and is reorganizing the city's defenses, recruiting troops, and hoarding food and grass. Fan Wenhu on the opposite side is stationing troops for confrontation." Zhao Shi smiled and said: "I hope that Boyan will entrust the big brother to Fan Wenhu. To attack Taizhou."

Fan Wenhu was originally Lu Wende's son-in-law. Because he flattered Jia Sidao well, he was promoted to the governor of the capital. Later, he was promoted to the deputy capital commander of the Imperial Guards. Last year, Fan Wenhu was demoted and was appointed as the governor of the two Zhejiang provinces.

In February of this year, Fan Wenhu was chasing the two kings. He was confused by Yang Zhen, the consort, and missed the two kings. Later, Fan Wenhu returned with his general Zhang Quan guarding Taizhou.

Looking at Fan Wenhu's resume, it can be found that he is invincible and completely useless.

It was said that Zhang Quan had occupied Taizhou, but Liu Shiyong captured the city in one surprise attack, which shows what kind of person Fan Wenhu is.

At this time, Fan Wenhu did not dare to tell Boyan about the loss of Taizhou. After severely punishing Zhang Quan, he personally led his troops to take back Taizhou.

Outside Qingtian County, Qi Quan, the magistrate of Chuzhou, followed the hanging basket into the city and met Jiang Zheng under the custody of soldiers.

Jiang Zheng first held up his hands and said, "Qi Zhizhou, you are well."

Qi Quan hid his face and said, "I didn't mean to come here, I just had to come."

Jiang Zheng consoled him: "It's not you who failed the imperial court, but the imperial court who failed you. If not, Zhizhou would not be able to come before me."

At that time, Zhao Shi and others entered the state and took away all the soldiers in the state. It was impossible for Qi Quan to hold the city and defend it. When Liu Shen's soldiers came, he didn't want to die, so he had no choice but to surrender.

Because of this, Qi Quan was ordered to surrender, but Jiang Zheng didn't kill him directly to show his ambition.

Qi Quan cupped his hands and said, "I know Jiang Zhizhi's intentions, so I will repay you."

Jiang Zheng advised: "If you don't want to go back to Zhizhou, you can stay here or go to Wenzhou. It is the time for the imperial court to employ people, and your majesty is also thirsty for talents."

Qi Quan shook his head and said: "Not to mention that the whole family is in the Yuan Kingdom, but the current situation, the Yuan Kingdom is far better than the Song Dynasty, and it will definitely dominate the world.

Although Your Majesty is wise and decisive, it is destiny that cannot be violated. I have done my duty and should consider the future of myself and my family. "

Jiang Zheng nodded and said: "Everyone has his own ambitions, it's not easy to force him. Zhizhou, please go back and tell Liu Shen that someone wants revenge and let him wash his neck!"

Qi Quan bowed his hands and turned to leave.

The failure to recruit and surrender was not a big deal, and it would not affect Qi Quan's continued position as magistrate. The Yuan army did not attack the city immediately. Instead, they camped under the city and recruited civilians to prepare equipment. They would not start operations for three to five days.

The Yuan army approaching the city obviously could not threaten Liuqiu Island. When the fleet sailed into the Tuxing River (Zhuoshui River), more than [-] immigrants burst into cheers.

Although this place is just a wilderness and there is no home yet, there is a lot of land that can be cultivated. The most important thing is that from today on, we will no longer be homeless and can live and work with peace of mind.

In Quanzhou, Jiang Wanzai held his knife and strode into the Shibosi Yamen.

In the past, Pu Shougeng, who was always aloof, was escorted by the soldiers and knelt on the ground. His brother Pu Shoucheng was lying next to him, his eyes wide open, and he refused to close his eyes.

Seeing Jiang Wanzai, Pu Shougeng roared: "Is it the royal way for the court to go to war without declaring it?"

Jiang Wanzai said: "The struggle for the world is dominated by kings' domineering ways. If you resist the heavenly army, you will die without mercy!"

Pu Shougeng shouted: "We surrendered under the imperial edict, what's the mistake?"

"Orphans and widowed mothers have no choice but to endure hardships. You have been favored by the imperial court and have made a lot of profits, but you have forgotten the way of loyalty because of your own selfishness. How can you have the face to argue?" Jiang Wanzai waved his hand and said: "The owl leader has passed on Everywhere, those who stubbornly resist will be killed without mercy!"

The soldiers on the left and right immediately dragged Pu Shougeng out and sent his head to the place as a warning to the rebels.

Jiang Wanzai still had many things to do, including recruiting surrenders and rebels, selecting talents, and most importantly, collecting ships, food, and gunpowder raw materials.

　Liuqiu Island is today's Wanwan. I will mention it when I suddenly think of it to avoid misunderstanding.I beg for recommendations, collections, and further reading. I am asking for anything.
