Chapter 41 Unqualified

"Your Majesty has recovered from his illness and is safe and sound~"

"Long live, long live, long live~"

Jiang Zheng drew out his sword, pointed it to the northwest, and shouted: "All armies, listen to your orders!"

The cheers stopped abruptly.

Jiang Zheng shouted: "Send troops to Quzhou, recover the lost territory, and restore the country to repay Your Majesty."

"Send troops to Quzhou, regain the lost land, restore the country, and repay Your Majesty."

While shouting, the armies set off one by one.

The morale is extremely high.

The emperor's recovery is more effective than any chicken blood and chicken soup. Now everyone is thinking of cutting off the heads of two Yuanlu as a gift for the emperor's recovery.

At the same time, Liu Shiyong sent troops to Zhujianling and invaded Shaoxing Prefecture.

But there were no people along the way, and there were many corpses on the road. At this time, the scouts came to report that Xinchang County had been destroyed and all the people were slaughtered.

Liu Shiyong roared: "Kill the thieves and avenge the people!"

"Kill the thief and take revenge!" All the armies shared the same hatred.

At the gate of Wenzhou City, Zhao Shi took Su Liuyi and said, "Fujian is the foundation of the country. There must be no more chaos. Please be more careful."

"I am determined to live up to your majesty." Su Liuyi said: "The heat is getting worse, your majesty should take care of your health to avoid shaking the country."

Zhao Shi smiled and said, "If you settle down in Fujian, everything will be fine for me."

Not far away, countless people looked at the emperor, not making any noise, just giggling.

Su Liuyi bowed three times, got on his horse and left.

Su Liuyi went here to take over the Fujian envoy and take charge of the Fujian military to suppress the local area, so that Jiang Wanzai could continue to invade Jiangxi.

Lin'an surrendered too quickly. Not only was the Song Dynasty unprepared, but Yuan Ting was also not mentally prepared. Therefore, there were not many Yuan troops in Fujian, Guangdong, and Jiangxi.

If we don't take advantage of this moment to expand aggressively, there will definitely be a series of hard battles when the Yuan army is ready.

Considering Yang Liangjie's mediocre ability, Su Liuyi was sent to replace him.

The vacant Deputy Privy Council Envoy was appointed by Lu Xiufu, who handled military intelligence in various places and assisted Zhao Shi in planning.

Don't think that Lu Xiufu came from a serious academic background. In fact, he was recruited by Li Tingzhi to handle military affairs just after he passed the Jinshi examination. He followed him until he was recommended by Li Tingzhi to the central government last year. Shaoqing is also the acting living room keeper.

In the first month of this year, Yi, the Minister of Rites, went to the front line to make peace, but before he arrived, the Yuan army reneged on his words, so he was spared the same sentence as Wen Tianxiang.

At this time, Wen Tianxiang bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to resign."

Zhao Shi helped Wen Tianxiang up and said: "You have great prestige, and wherever you go, there will be a response. However, you are not good at military affairs. When marching and fighting, you should put the Taishi first."

Wen Tianxiang said: "I got acquainted with the Grand Master when I was in Xingjing Lake. They had a very happy relationship and benefited a lot. I will definitely assist him wholeheartedly and ask for advice from time to time."

"That's good." Zhao Shi patted his arm and said, "Let's go, time will not wait for me, but I still have to take care of my body. Only good health can serve the country. I can't leave you, so I tell you this." As a grand master, you must not be like Zhuge Wuhou who died before he left the army."

Wen Tianxiang replied: "The country depends on your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body."

Zhao Shi agreed happily and said, "Okay, both the emperor and his ministers are well. We will return to Lin'an together until Kaifeng."

"My farewell, Your Majesty, take care." Wen Tianxiang bowed, got up and mounted his horse.

He was going to Xincheng County, Jianchangjun, Jiangxi Province. The land route was faster than the water route. As for the mount, he had to say thank you to Mongolia Old Railway for the reward.

After the Battle of Qingtian ended, not only did the situation greatly improve, but the means of transportation for the courtiers and generals were also upgraded.

Back in Xingzai, Zhao ordered the imperial guard to bring Cui Bin to see him.Cui Bin was an old minister of Kublai Khan's latent residence. He was the first to ascend the throne when Kublai Khan personally conquered Ezhou. However, he was best at literature and was very good at handling government affairs. He was a rare talent, but Zhao still valued Cui Bin. Position.

The political affairs of Pingzhang in Jinghu Province were roughly equivalent to the first level of senior officials, which was the highest-level official captured by the Song Dynasty.

If they can recruit and surrender, they can set an example for the soldiers, generals and officials of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, and they can buy horse bones for a thousand gold. In addition, it can also prove that the Song and Yuan Dynasties are two evenly matched opponents, instead of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty unilaterally defeating the Song Dynasty.

After a while, Cui Bin came in escorted by the guards.

Cui Bin cupped his hands and said, "Yan Tiemu'er, the political minister of Pingzhang of Jinghu Province in the Great Yuan Dynasty, met King Yi."

"How dare you despise the emperor of our country, a crazy person!" Chen Yi jumped angrily.

Forget it if you don't be polite, after all, Yuan is strong and Song is weak will not change because of the results of local battles. Cui Bin has reason to be condescending, but calling him King Yi instead of emperor is naked contempt.

How could Chen Yizhong not be angry when his master humiliated his minister and died?

Zhao Shi waved his hand to signal Chen Yizhong to calm down, and asked Cui Bin: "Zhong Wenwen is a Han, and now he is captured. Why don't he abandon his captivity and return to justice, so as to revive the glory of the Han family?"

"I would rather die than serve as a minister of the South!" Cui Bin replied: "My emperor is a heroic lord! Rule the Han land with Han laws, learn Chinese, practice Han rituals, use Han officials, and support the Han people. This has become orthodox. How dare you compare to me, a human child?"

Although Cui Bin was very determined not to surrender, Zhao still wanted to chat with him for a few words. He had no other intention. He just wanted to know more about Kublai Khan so that he could know himself and his enemy.

Zhao Shi asked, "Does Kublai Khan speak Chinese, use Chinese characters, and wear Chinese clothes?"

Cui Bin was furious and said: "You kid with a yellow mouth who dares to call my emperor by his name will die without a burial place!"

Lu Xiufu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please kill this beast!"

"Why do you kill people because of your quick tongue?" Zhao Shi waved his hands indifferently and said, "Take me back, don't abuse me."

Cui Bin snorted coldly, turned and left.

Chen Yizhong said: "Your Majesty, the barbarians don't know how to be kings. The ones left here waste food and rice, so it's better to kill them."

"It's enough to kill one Cui Bin, but how can we kill tens of thousands of Cui Bins?" Zhao Shi said: "I want to send someone to debate with him to explore Kublai Khan's life."

"Know yourself and your enemy and you will be victorious in any battle. Your Majesty's plan is a good strategy." Zhang Shuangguo said.

But who is going to argue with Cui Bin is worth thinking about.

Cui Bin's level is not low. Most people really can't handle it. Those who have the ability have no time, and those who have the time have no ability. This makes Zhao Shi feel quite helpless.

"The Yuan Dynasty is powerful and has many talents. Our country is weak and has insufficient talents. There is really nothing we can do." Zhao Shi sighed.

He actually wanted to say that all the heroes in the world are in my arms, but you don’t have the qualifications to do so, do you know?

Don't look at the recent killing of Dong Shiyuan and Dong Wenyong, the capture of Cui Bin, and the early death of Dong Wenbing, but for Yuan Ting, it's time to sprinkle water, not to mention virtuous officials and brave generals, even a fallen general such as Lu Wenhuan can be alone.

On the other hand, there were many talented people in the Song Dynasty, and Jiang Wanzai was the only one who had the tools of the country. The others were either lacking in military affairs or government affairs, and none of them could take charge of the overall situation. Even so, Zhao Shi could not afford to lose any of them.

For example, Liu Shiyong was good at leading troops in battles. He lacked a lot in the grand strategy. If he died, Zhao really couldn't find anyone to replace him. This was far worse than Yuanting.

Chen Yizhong said: "Your Majesty will work hard to govern and appoint talents, and sooner or later he will surpass Yuan Lu."

Lu Xiufu said: "The power of the tripod is obvious, and those who cherish the motherland will flock here, and the shortage of talents can be slowed down!"

"It all depends on His Majesty's decisiveness." Chen Yizhong said: "If His Majesty hadn't decisively ascended the throne, not to mention the restoration of Fujian and other places, even Wenzhou would not be able to defend. By then, the sky would collapse and the earth would be shattered, and there would be no possibility of recovery."

"Don't be too optimistic." Zhao Shi said: "If we want to become a tripod, we must repel Yuanlu's follow-up army. It's too early to tell at this time."

Now Song Ting can only say that he has a foothold. Whether he can stand firm depends on whether he can block Yuan Ting's next attack.

If you can't stop it, everything will stop. If you can't stop it, you will stay in a corner to resist Yuanting's situation.

Public opinion, military spirit, and talents are all part of the situation, and it is the victory or defeat on the battlefield that determines the general situation.
