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

Chapter 85 Homecoming
"...The navy suffered a tragic victory. The Tartars must have known that the king's army had few thunders from the sky, so they decided to attack with a large force. Without the help of the thunder, the camp was not strong enough to defend, so I decided to retreat to Dongguan Post..."

After Lu Xiufu finished reading the report, Zhao Shi said: "Zhang Qing retreated to Dongguan, what do you think?"

Chen Yizhong said: "The privy envoy personally leads the troops and can advance or retreat independently. I think there is no need to worry."

Even if there were doubts, it was useless, because when the report arrived, Zhang Shijie had already retreated.

Not to mention Zhang Shijie, even if Lu Wu or even Yang Zhenlong lead the army independently, they still have this power, and they can just make a report afterwards.

The central government granted the formation map, but as a result, the local terrain changed and the army had to camp in the water. This will never happen in this dynasty.

Zhao Shi asked: "In this case, how to reinforce?"

Lu Xiufu replied: "Order Fuzhou troops to enter Wenzhou, Wenzhou troops to enter Taizhou, and Taizhou troops to arrive in front, and change defenses one by one to speed up the attack."

Zhao Shidao: "The Privy Council is planning this matter and must reinforce the front as soon as possible."

At this time, Peng Zhenlong, who took over Yu Wengang's position, came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang naval forces are about to arrive in Wenzhou."

Zhao Shi stood up and said, "Show me your carriage, and I will go to greet you personally."

"Your Majesty." Chen Yizhong advised: "The defeated army is so honored and favored, what about the victorious army? Your Majesty, please sit down and let someone from the Privy Council greet you."

Zhao Shi said: "We fought bloody battles from top to bottom and killed many enemies. Even though we were defeated, it was still an honor. I should comfort them to strengthen their hearts."

Zhang Jian said: "A defeated general has nothing to say about his glory. Your Majesty should not act with personal feelings."

Zhao subconsciously looked at Lu Xiufu.

At this time, the Privy Council members knew that it would be unreasonable not to say a few words of justice.

"I think what the Prime Minister said is reasonable, and His Majesty should not welcome him in person." Lu Xiufu said: "The naval divisions of Jiangsu and Zhejiang should have blocked Qiantang, raided the coast and divided the troops of the Yuan Dynasty. However, Chen Shengxing took advantage of the opportunity and advanced directly to the mouth of the river. Failure to use its strengths will result in heavy losses.

The naval division withdrew, Yuanlu used his troops calmly, the pressure on the frontline increased sharply, and the Privy Council had to retreat. This was Chen Shengxing's fault, and His Majesty showed his favor to himself, but in fact the reward and punishment were unknown.

If things continue like this, the system will be corrupted, the top and bottom will be arrogant and ignorant of honor and disgrace, and things will inevitably go bad. "

I never thought that Lu Xiufu, you thick-browed man with big eyes, would stab you in the back!Zhao Shi was choked and said again: "Chen Shengxing has done something wrong, how can anyone else do the same?"

Because it was the Yuan army that cleaned the battlefield, the specific results of the battle cannot be counted, but it is conservatively estimated that one hundred and twenty enemy ships were sunk. From a purely tactical point of view, it is actually a victory.

In war, you don't care about gains and losses in one place at a time, but you have to think about the overall situation. Looking at the overall situation, the consequences of Chen Shengxing's failure are still very serious.

Zhang Shijie could not withstand the pressure and retreated, so Liu Yu and Qian Yi had to divide their troops to help. This effect was chain-linked.

Chen Yizhong said: "Your Majesty loves soldiers, but you need to be moderate. Those who are loyal and loyal will know their shame and then be brave. Those who are not loyal and loyal will be like Lu, even if they are treated well. Your Majesty understands this clearly."

Zhao Shi stood up and turned around twice, then said to Lu Xiufu: "I will greet you and express my condolences."

"I accept your orders." Lu Xiufu said goodbye and left.

Before arriving at the pier, I saw countless people standing on tiptoe looking at the river. Of course, there were guards of honor and guards clearing the way, but they couldn't block the way.

When Lu Xiufu came to the front, he saw more than [-] boats lined up on the river, coming slowly.

There are big holes in the ship wall, the sails are missing, the mast is missing... they are all like dogs gnawing, and they are not intact.

The river breeze blew by, and everyone on the shore could easily smell the smell of smoke and the faint smell of blood.

When the first boat docked, Chen Shengzhong and Wan Qing carried Chen Shengxing down to the shore, saluted and said: "Please forgive Chen Shengzhong (Wan Qing) for the crime."

"Get up and talk." Lu Xiufu came closer and asked, "Why did Chen Tongzhi fall into coma?"

Chen Shengzhong said: "Abscess suddenly appeared on the wound, so I fell into coma."

Lu Xiufu looked at his wound and saw that his arm had been stabbed in half. The wound was red and swollen, and yellow and white water was flowing out. He couldn't help but ask, "Why not retaliate?"

"I thought it wasn't heavy, but I didn't want to..." Chen Shengzhong was in a low mood and didn't want to talk.

"Hurry up and send him to the imperial hospital for diagnosis and treatment." Lu Xiufu ordered, and then said: "Your Majesty wanted to greet him in person, but it didn't fit the rules, so he was hindered. You should know."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Chen Shengzhong carried Chen Shengxing and hurried away.

Many wounded patients came down one after another, all with mild symptoms. Lu Xiufu couldn't help comforting him, saying: "Your Majesty didn't take responsibility for your defeat. However, the system is such that you can't welcome them in person. I hope you will remember this moment and fight again." If you win, your Majesty will definitely welcome you personally."

"I will definitely win again." Sun Tong expressed his stance.

He joined the army as an inspection officer and went on board a ship as a commander. He also received a stabbing this time, but fortunately it was not serious.

After the show was over, Lu Xiufu reported the situation, and Zhao Shi said, "The general is seriously injured. It is only natural for me to visit him personally."

This time there was no one to stop him.

Chen Shengxing is the commander-in-chief, but in fact he should be regarded as the commander-in-chief. He is already a general in charge of one side and can indeed visit.

When they arrived at Taiyuan Hospital, Chen Shengzhong and Wan Qing immediately paid homage. "Without ceremony." Zhao Shi helped the two of them up respectively and said, "You have fought a bloody battle, and you should recuperate in preparation for the future."

"Your Majesty has such great love, I am ashamed." Chen Shengzhong said.

Zhao Shi said: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. When you return to camp, gather everyone together to reflect on the reasons for this defeat, so as not to repeat the same mistakes as today.

I have high hopes for you. During the holidays, you will definitely dominate the world, and no one in the world dares to look directly at you. "

"I will obey the imperial edict." Chen Shengzhong continued.

After a few words of encouragement, Zhao Shi walked into the room and saw Zhu Ming stabbing Chen Shengxing's arm with a knife, gouging out pieces of flesh and blood.

The blood flowed loudly.

Surgery is possible, but it cannot stop the bleeding. Blood transfusion is still being studied. Success or failure depends on God's will.

After a while, Zhu Ming put away the knife and cleaned the wound with salt water.

Fortunately, Chen Shengxing was in a coma and took anesthesia powder, otherwise he would have to cry out in pain.

After suturing, applying medicine, and bandaging, the whole process was completed before Zhu Mingcai came to see him.

"No courtesy." Zhao Shi asked, "How is the situation?"

Zhu Ming said: "The wound was not clean, so it became suppurative. I have already scraped off the rotten flesh, so I think it's fine, but..."

"But it doesn't matter." Zhao Shi said.

"The meridians are damaged and most of the strength is lost. It's usually fine. I'm just afraid that I can't lift the knife." Zhu Ming replied.

"Ah~" Chen Shengzhong couldn't help shouting, his face full of pain in his back.

For a general, there is no difference between being unable to lift a sword and being dead.

"What's it worth?" Zhao Shi turned around and said, "Fighting for the commander is already inferior. The commander is the general. Now he can't lift the sword, so he can use his brain."

"I accept my instruction." Chen Shengzhong saluted.

Zhao Shi said: "Bo Qi was defeated and injured, and will not be punished. As the deputy commander, I will reorganize the fleet and recover as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity, and I take orders." Chen Shengzhong complied.

Zhao Shi waved his hand and said, "You guys will have a look at Boqi. I'll go to the shipyard for a walk."

"Farewell to Your Majesty." Everyone saluted.

Watching Zhao Shi disappear, Wan Qing couldn't help but sigh: "Although your Majesty is young, he is wise and powerful. It's not in vain that your elder brother brought us here to surrender."

Chen Shengzhong said: "I just wish I couldn't win and lose all face."

"Two generals, there is no need to be upset." Zhu Ming said: "Although the losses in this battle are heavy, the Yuan captives will not feel comfortable. When they recover, it will not be too late to avenge your Majesty."

Before the gossip here was over, Zhao arrived at the Wenzhou Shipyard.

Shao Fuqing Li Xiangzhi brought a group of craftsmen to see him, and the heads of all the ships also followed.

After comforting the captains, Zhao Shi asked: "Every ship is injured, when can it be repaired?"

Dai Yu, the chief craftsman of the shipyard, said: "Because we are rushing to build river warships, there is not enough manpower and wood to use. It has to take a year. If a few ships are dismantled, it may be half a year ahead of schedule."

Zhao Shi nodded and said: "In the future, we will go north by sea and land. Sea ships are the key. We should recruit more apprentices."

Li Xiangzhi said: "The ministers are already recruiting, but it's only been a few years, and it's not enough."

Zhao Shi added: "If you seek new lands, there will be more trees. You should send people to explore, and you may be able to get good trees."

Li Xiangzhi said: "Your Majesty is wise, I will take care of it immediately."

Shipbuilding wood, especially the keel, has high requirements on trees, but it is hard to find nearby. They can only go to deep mountains and old forests. At this point, the emperor has nothing to do.

Zhao Shi looked at the captains and said, "After experiencing the war, you have gained new insights into warships. You should discuss improvements with Baigong and maybe get new ships.

Don't worry about waste, reducing casualties is the biggest savings for the army. "

"I sincerely obey the instructions." Everyone agreed.

Then, Zhao Shi went back home.

He didn't know much about shipbuilding technology and could only give some pointers on methods. Otherwise, he had to respect his profession.

After all, shipbuilding has been developed for thousands of years, and the technology has become more perfect, and non-laymen can give advice.
