The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 294

For me.The highlight of December is the reception of foreign ministers who have returned to Lin'an to report on their duties.end of last year.Because the first emperor Lizong had just passed away.And I've just been enthroned.His eyes were darkened.So I just greeted them as a courtesy.Go through the motions.Time is also short.I can't figure out whether everyone's ability is good or bad.I couldn't even remember the faces and names of those ministers.

One year down.I am changing.My dynasty is also changing.developing in a positive direction.certainly.The battle between Song and Meng is getting closer.According to my will.In this year's debriefing meeting arranged by the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites.The only thing I personally presided over was the debriefing meeting of various officials at the junction of the two countries.That is to say, it is mainly military.As for the debriefing meetings of the inland districts, the Government Affairs Council is in charge.about the content of the meeting.I gave Wen Tianxiang and the others two instructions.One is to vigorously develop the local economy and agriculture.Advocate the technological revolution.The second is to relentlessly fight corruption and promote integrity.Based on people's livelihood.

The fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.In the Daqing Hall of the Imperial Palace, I received all ministers from other regions who came to Beijing to report on their duties.Most of these ministers are the highest military and political ministers from all walks of life and provinces.Because I carefully read the detailed information provided by the Ministry of Officials in advance.So I have a basic understanding of the situation of these officials.

"See the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

"Everyone loves you. Free from courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The huge hall seemed to become crowded all of a sudden.The five or sixty people added all stood in the middle of the main hall.Waiting for my interview and instructions.

Ye Mengding, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, first introduced these ministers to me one by one.In addition to officials from major theaters and Fujian Province.I basically have no impression of other officials.So I had a little more talk with these ministers.But it's nothing more than some encouragement to them to be officials.For me to work hard toward ZTE and other high-sounding language.

"Your Majesty, please give me instructions." Ma Tingluan reported after seeing Ye Mengding's introduction.

"Dear dears. In the past few months, the imperial court has successively introduced a series of reform measures. These measures involve all aspects of our dynasty. There are anti-corruption measures. Some promote economic development in various places. There are rural land reforms. There are also Military aspects. For you, you should combine this series of measures with the actual situation in your own region. Formulate local development directions and goals according to the place, time, and people. I once said that the world will rise and fall Everyone is responsible. All of you are the pillars of the upper echelons of my dynasty. You should shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalizing our dynasty. You are all the heads of military and political affairs in various places. Your every move. Up. Represents the court. Represents Zhen. Down You can be said to be role models for officials at all levels. You can also be said to be role models for the common people.”

"It can be said to a large extent. The quality of a region depends entirely on the top leaders of this region. The choice between good and evil, loyalty and traitor is actually very simple. It is between your thoughts. It is people-oriented. Or is it based on Selfishness is the foundation. Do you care about the common people? Or do you only know yourself. I believe everyone will choose kind thoughts. At the beginning of human beings. After all, nature is good. What do you think."

"The emperor is wise. The ministers will obey the holy will."

"Well. Now let me explain the key issues of our dynasty next year. First of all, the development of economy and agriculture in various places. This is the foundation of my dynasty's stability. Everyone knows it. The warehouse knows the etiquette. Only when the people have enough food and clothing can they live and work in peace and contentment. This is also the prerequisite for the country to be rich and the people strong. The second is the development of science and technology. Dear friends, many of you may not understand the meaning of science and technology. Whether it is for the country or for the people, the benefits are huge. So next year I will carry out a scientific and technological revolution. You will know the details when you report to the Government Affairs Council. The third is about anti-corruption. This It is a long-term national policy. And it will become more and more strict. As long as you are an official in our dynasty, you must be prepared. You must be prepared to dedicate yourself. You must be prepared to dedicate yourself to our dynasty at all times. It is not like before. Officials can Superior to others. You can enjoy yourself. From now on. People who are not prepared for this kind of thinking. I don’t think you should be an official. I said to Fan Zhongyan well. "First worry about the world's worries, and then enjoy the world's joys." This One sentence can be used as a criterion for officials. Starting next year, the imperial court will set up ICAC in various places to supervise officials in various places."

"The last point is about the border areas. That is military warfare. I will discuss this point with you in detail. Other specific matters will be explained by the Government Affairs Council and you."

"My dear friends. A rich country and a poor people will make the people resentful. This will lead to social unrest. A poor country and a rich people will give hostile countries an opportunity to take advantage of it. Therefore, only the country is rich and the people are strong is the only right way. This is my dynasty National policy. The country is rich and the people are strong. Alright. This is the end of today's court meeting. Next, please go to the Government Affairs Council. Participate in the debriefing meeting held by the Government Affairs Council, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Education. Tomorrow afternoon. I will visit the Military Affairs Council. And the border The various major areas in the land discuss relevant military affairs."

The afternoon debriefing meeting was chaired by Wen Tianxiang, academician of the Government Administration Council.This is also a signal.It means that the Government Affairs Council has surpassed the Ministry of Education.Wen Tianxiang, on the other hand, is very likely to become the first dean of the Government Affairs Council.

The sun shines in the imperial study room.Although the sunshine in winter is not as bright as in spring.The scorching heat of summer.But in the cold winter.It brings warmth to people.Bringing people's expectations for spring.Bring people hope for the future.

I lay down and sat by the window.Read a book.He closed his eyes.Quietly enjoy the sunbathing in this winter.

"Officials. Mr. Yuan and Mr. Lu are asking to see you." Xiao Qi's voice sounded at some unknown time.

"Xuan."

"Your Majesty. Since November, the Longya Intelligence Department has conducted an unannounced visit to the defense of Yangzhou, Xiangyang and other frontier theaters. It found a huge problem." Lu Xiufu said worriedly as soon as he entered the room. "Your Majesty. Please look. This is the military map of Xiangyang. Here. Here. And here. There are markets set up by the Mongols. These markets are connected to the "mutual market" (the market recognized at the junction of the two countries). Built inside The fort wall. There is a tendency to form a siege. If the Mongols enter Xiangfan, this Xiangyang and Fancheng will become two dead cities. What is more frightening is that they will be isolated from our dynasty. They will fall into an extremely unfavorable situation. This Lord Lu Wendelu is really confused ah."

"It's not just muddled. Look at it from a minister's perspective. This is no different from betraying the country." Yuan Ji also said angrily.

Lu Wende in history was lucky.It is believed that Mongolia's offensive line is still in Sichuan.Instead of choosing Xiangfan as a breakthrough point.Only then did he accept the bribes from the Mongols.Let him set up a discussion field around Xiangfan. 1267.The Mongolian Army Guowei Xiang and Fan (now merged into Xiangyang, Hubei).Wende deeply regrets.Sighing: "Those who wrong the country. Me too."

I was also annoyed at the time.He slapped his palm heavily on the table: "Damn Lu Wende. It's not easy to hurt people. How dare you do such a thing. The surrounding area is surrounded by Mongolians. I can't help it. Xiangyang is an isolated city. How can it last long?" .”

Yuan Ji and others rarely see me get angry.And for the first time, he swears.I was stunned for a moment.I don't know why.On the contrary, Xiao Qi remained calm: "Calm down the anger of the officials. The Mongols haven't invaded our court yet. It will be corrected someday."

After I sit down.He took a big sip of tea and said, "You Lu Wende, you really should fight."

Xiao Qi poured me good tea.He poured another cup for Yuan Ji and Lu Xiufu.Said: "Sir, Mr. Lu. Please."

My fingers kept tapping on the table.Xindao.Should Lu Wende be ordered to destroy those discussion fields now?In this way.Although the danger of being besieged around Xiangyang can be lifted quickly.But it is broken in the world.The Mongols have an agreement with Lu Wende.And Lu Wende signed it on behalf of the imperial court.Suppose I tear it up unilaterally.It gave the Mongols a good reason to go south.

Yuan Ji and Lu Xiufu drank tea respectively.See me in anger.Don't dare to bother.

"Junshi. What do you think?"

Lu Xiufu said: "Your Majesty. According to Longya's intelligence department, the agreement signed by Lu Wende and the Mongols is for five years. It is impossible to change the agreement in a reasonable way. I think that there is no need for us to go to court at this time." Execute this agreement. On the grounds that Lu Wende did not notify the court and signed a contract with the Mongols privately. Refuse to recognize the agreement. And force the Mongols to evacuate."

"What if the Mongols don't withdraw."

Lu Xiufu said without hesitation: "Then the only thing we can do is go to war."

"Go to war. Go to war now. The odds are against me."

"Your Majesty, the chances of winning are very slim. But I think the Mongols also have little chance of winning."

"Well, let's start a war at this time. Both sides have no chance of winning. Then it depends on their own resilience." I thought for a while. "Our army is also at a disadvantage."

When neither army is ready.Once an encounter occurs.It depends on the personal abilities of the soldiers on both sides.Judging from the current combat power.The individual combat capability of Mongolian iron cavalry undoubtedly has the upper hand.

Yuan Ji said: "Your Majesty is right. At present, our army is not the enemy of Mongolia. Therefore, it is not appropriate to start a war."

I got up and walked around the house a few times.I quickly searched the classic battles of later generations in my mind.Out of the blue a plan pops up.I go back to my desk.He looked carefully at the Xiangfan military map again.He said in his heart: "Siege. Anti-encirclement. That's right. Since the Mongols intend to encircle Xiangfan with a trap, then I will simply use a plan. Use Xiangfan as a bait. Implement encirclement and anti-encirclement. Then encircle and fight for reinforcements. Concentrate forces in Xiangfan Fight a war of annihilation with the Mongols. If it is feasible, it will be able to wipe out the vitality of the Mongolian army. This is undoubtedly another Huaihai campaign."

Xiangfan in history.Fighting alone can last for several years.If I prepare ahead of time.Accompanied by firearms.It is absolutely possible to hold back the Mongolian army in Xiangfan.
