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

Chapter 56

"The Emperor of the Song Dynasty commended Huaiyang's military and civilians.

Under the door: For those who are in a hurry, the country is struggling, the demon star has not fallen, the Central Plains is turbulent, and the world is turbulent.You wait for the master to be a good teacher inside, face the strong enemy outside, analyze the bones and change the sons, have never been sick, and the soldiers are exhausted, which is their worry.Yu Xi!God has not regretted his misfortune, how can man be embarrassed?Ning Gan kills himself and does not attach himself to the captives. His faith will be honored in the annals of history, but he can see the human relationship.

The loyalty is hanging together, the plan is for great unity, the military brigade is sworn to contain it, and the army is defeated. The clothes are torn and they come thousands of miles to respond.Zhu Li died without knowing it, and Lang Ling rushed to the army when he saw his deposition. His loyal plan was clear, and ten thousand people worked together.

The food in the isolated city is exhausted, and there is no outside rescue. It is still weak and sick, destroying the front and falling into the fortress, so that the soldiers of the three armies can eat their skin and eat it. They will not rebel until death, and they can survive the day. Although they are loyal and brave in ancient times, how can they be added to it?

I admire you for not surrendering when you are trapped in a certain place of death. I am deeply saddened by the fact that the 20 people in the four prefectures are the remaining half.

Martyrs show their righteousness and die at the sight of danger; loyal ministers of the state survive after death.

The loyalty of Huaiyang must be praised. Today, Li Tingzhi is the Duke of Suizhou County, Prime Minister on the right, General Manager of Huaiyang General Manager's Palace, Jiang Cai is the Marquis of Zhongli, Deputy General Manager of the left of Huaiyang General Manager's Palace, and Miao is now the Marquis of Xuyi..."

The reason why the four states were able to hold on was not only the contribution of Li Tingzhi and Jiang Cai, but also the contributions of other generals such as Shi Zhong, Sun Gui, Hu Weixiao, and Cao Anguo. Even Zhu Huan, who surrendered in Kaicheng in the original history, was also a brave man.

Zhu Huan offered Yangzhou because Li Tingzhi and Jiang Cai led their troops to the east and wanted to cross the sea to the south. Sun Gui, Hu Weixiao and others offered Taizhou because A Shu drove the wives and children of the Yangzhou soldiers to the city, and Jiang Cai happened to have gangrene on his back. A seizure occurs, and morale is completely lost.

Don't say that Zhao doesn't know this. Even if he knows, he can't get angry because it is obviously the center's fault and cannot be shaken off.

After Zhao Mengli completed the imperial edict, tens of thousands of officials, soldiers and civilians led by Li Tingzhi paid their respects again and shouted: "I thank the Lord for your kindness (Thank you to the official family, the emperor's benevolence and righteousness, and the emperor's righteousness), long live my emperor."

The sound was quite loud, but the mess was not very neat.

As an angel, Zhao Mengli naturally wouldn't find fault with this. After waiving the ceremony on behalf of the emperor, he said: "This time, the imperial court will send [-] ships to pick up the people going south. There will be [-] shi of grain on board, and there will still be grain and grass brought in from now on. Make sure there is no shortage of food in Tongzhou."

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor~" the people were completely excited.

Official positions and titles are fictitious, but food is real.

In the Tongyang Canal, Jiang Cai and Zhang Shijie stood side by side on the raft and saw the Yuan Army's cavalry in the distance. At this time, a grenadier took two steps to that side, and the Yuan Army's cavalry immediately ran away.

Everyone laughed.

At this time, a ship flew over, and the messenger on the ship shouted: "The angel has arrived in Tongzhou, and the capital of Jiadu will be Zhonglihou, deputy general manager, and there will be food and grass to support..."

"Long live the official family."

"The benevolence and righteousness of officials have never forgotten us."

"Has Xianggong Li come back?"

The people asked all kinds of questions.

"Xianggong Li is accompanying the Duke, Prime Minister, and General Manager." the messenger replied.

Jiang Cai laughed loudly and said, "The officials are so kind to us, how can we not repay it with death?"

"Long live the official family, long live the official family~" the people cheered.

Jiang Cai shouted: "We have everything. Speed ​​up and go to Tongzhou City. After you have rested, cross the sea and go south to live a good life!"

"Let's go~" The people increased their strength and the raft went faster.

"Thanks to the Privy Council for coming to help, otherwise we would have no hope and would have to suffer. We don't know which day we will be gone." Jiang Cai said with emotion.

Zhang Shijie said: "Tian Lei was designed for Your Majesty, and I acted according to the plan. It is really not a big deal."

"The Privy Council is too humble." Jiang Cai said: "If the Privy Council doesn't take the lead, what if there is thunder from the sky?"

Zhang Shijie did not answer and said: "Bo Yan has led the army to Gaoyou Army and will attack soon. Does Marquis Zhongli have any plans?"

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, that's all." Jiang Cai didn't look down on Boyan, but war. It's really not a plan, it's all about adapting to the situation.

Let's just say that there is a city with a radius of three to five miles. When the commander orders to arrive at the city wall, the day lily will be cold, so each general must be able to make a decision at the opportunity.

Of course, the coach cannot lie down. Mobilizing the people, preparing supplies, and boosting morale are all the coach's responsibilities.

When they arrived outside Tongzhou, Li Tingzhi led everyone to greet him. After a chat, Li Tingzhi said: "Your Majesty sent an imperial physician to accompany you to check the health of the generals. He gave special instructions, saying, 'In the early days of every battle, he must be the first to fight, and he suffered a lot of injuries. For fear of future troubles, the imperial court cannot do without him, so he should be diagnosed and treated carefully."

Jiang Cai bowed down to the south and said: "Your Majesty's kindness is so great, how can I repay it?"

Later, Zhao Mengli read the imperial edict to Zhang Shijie, and added the Duke of Zhuozhou and the privy envoy to order him to return to the court.

After wandering outside for so long, Zhang Shijie had no reason to stay any longer, so he simply accepted the imperial edict.

Back in the city, Li Tingzhi said: "Before leaving, His Majesty asked me if one or two thousand veterans could be sent south to strengthen the Forbidden Army. I said yes. What do you think?"

"Serving your Majesty is a matter of course." Jiang Cai said: "The people on the left and right have moved, and the rest can only defend the city. One or two thousand can support them."

Li Tingzhi said: "At present, there are many soldiers in the south, but there are not enough veterans. Your Majesty wishes that the old, weak, sick and disabled can serve as instructors, and the strong and strong can serve as generals. There is no need to force this matter. Anyone who is willing to go south can go."

"Can the family members accompany you?" Zhu Huan asked.

"The people migrated, leaving only [-] young soldiers in Tongzhou, and their families also went south." Li Tingzhi replied.

"That being the case, the general is willing to go south." Zhu Huan said impatiently.

"Yes." Li Tingzhi simply agreed.

Although they retreated to Tongzhou, backed by the great river, and the south continued to support them, as the Yuan army transferred the navy into the river, the river would be blocked, and it would be a situation of defending Yangzhou again.

After everyone has endured it for so long, there will always be those who don’t want to endure it any longer, so it’s better to leave in order to avoid shaking the morale of the army in the future.

However, of the more than [-] troops, only a thousand were willing to leave. Li Tingzhi picked some old, weak, sick and disabled, and collected two thousand for Zhang Shijie to take with him.

The next day, all the first batch of people to leave boarded the ship, and Li Tingzhi saw them off personally.

Zhang Shijie asked someone to move down a few boxes and said: "Li Xiang, these are sky thunders. There are only a hundred left. Use them carefully."

"Thank you very much." Li Tingzhi said: "Your Majesty is so powerful that Yuanlu doesn't dare to look sideways, and Tongzhou has no worries!"

"It's just that the production is difficult, otherwise we would have sent to Lin'an early, why would we have to stick around here." Zhang Shijie said.

Jiang Cai said: "I think your Majesty has made arrangements. When the thunder is enough, the country will be restored."

This is too optimistic.

All the sulfur and nitrate from various places have been collected and made into sky thunder. With continuous use, the stocks of each department are low. Otherwise, Zhao should have asked Li Tingzhi to lead his troops south and attack Lin'an together with Liu Shiyong and Jiang Zheng.

The next batch needs to wait until it is shipped from overseas. I don’t know when.

In Gaoyou City, Boyan listened to A Shu's description and asked doubtfully: "Is the Southern Sky Thunder really so terrifying?"

"How dare you deceive the Prime Minister? I really can't resist it." A Shu said with a sad smile: "Prime Minister, just follow me."

I took Boyan to the outside of a camp and saw more than a hundred soldiers sitting or lying down. There was no dignity in the military.

Ah Shu took the gong from his entourage and struck it hard.

clang~
"Song Jun is coming~Run~"

"Grandpa, have mercy on me~Grandpa, have mercy on me~"

"God, don't blame me, don't blame me, it's not me~"

Some people hugged their heads and ran away, or they knelt down and kowtowed. They were all in chaos, just because of a loud noise.

Ah Shu said: "They have been so frightened that they have lost their souls. There are still three thousand of them, but if there is any noise, they will panic and be unable to advance."

Boyan gritted his teeth and said: "In that case, in order to avoid confusing the morale of the army, we will trap and kill!"

"Prime Minister, no." Shi Bi quickly advised: "There are Han soldiers among them, as well as Semu and Mongolian soldiers. If they are all killed, there will be fierce criticism."

"Kill!" Boyan shouted: "Anyone who disturbs the morale of the army will be killed!
The soldiers were ignorant and did not know that this was gunpowder made by the southerners. They immediately informed the whole army that the imperial court was already imitating it. Anyone who spoke of thunder would be killed! "
