The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 460 Farewell

"Li Aiqing, the mission of your navy is that after the North Sea Fleet escorts the advancing column to land, it will look for fighter planes along the northern coast. Whenever there is a chance, it will first defeat the Mongolian navy along the coast. The rest of the East Sea Fleet will station at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Han River Xiakou (now Wuhan) is ready to go to Xiangfan for support at any time, and the coastal defenses of Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang and other places are all handed over to the South China Sea Fleet.”

"Yes, I obey the order,"

"Li Aiqing, please sit down," I smiled and continued to order, "Deputy Commander of the Imperial Forest Army Xie Daolin Xie Aiqing, Chairman of the Military Council Zhao Huai Zhao Aiqing listens to the order."

"The minister is here,"

"The two of you will lead the First Division of the Yulin Army and the Artillery Battalion to set off on the second day of next month to Yingzhou,"

"Yes, I will obey the order,"

"As for the Jianghuai Military Region, we will hold our troops for the time being. When the advancing column lands, we will send troops to feign an attack to attract the attention of the Mongolian East Army, thereby reducing the pressure on the advancing column. The Ryukyu Military Region overseas and our troops stationed on Jeju Island The officers and men will maintain the status quo and make arrangements after the battle of Xiangyang is over. The above are the mission arrangements for each military region. Do you still have a copy to play?"

Lu Xiufu saw that no one made a sound, so he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Lu Aiqing, please tell me,"

"Your Majesty, the Military Affairs Council received a report from Lord Li, the envoy of the Jianghuai Military Region in the early hours of this morning. Lord Li said that the battle of Xiangyang is the most important thing. Our army should fight with the most elite troops. Except for the Yulin Army, the Great Song Dynasty The most important armies are Yangzhou Polu Army and Xiangyang Heitan Regiment. I recently heard that Mongolian Ashu led [-] cowards to go south, and His Majesty intends to conquer in person. In addition, there will be no major wars in the Jianghuai Military Region in a short period of time. Therefore, Mr. Li proposed, Send the [-] Polu troops under his command to Yingzhou to fight the cowardly Xue, please give instructions, "

"This Li Tingzhi, haha," I smiled, then thought for a while and said, "Okay, at the speed of the Polu army, it will only take a few days from Yangzhou to Yingzhou. Since Li Aiqing has this idea, let the Polu army The army should arrive in Yingzhou before May 25th. I also want to meet the ace unit of our Song army, Lu Aiqing. After the meeting, the Military Council will send an order to the Jianghuai Military Region."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey the order,"

Of course I understand Li Tingzhi's intentions, the war of cowardice is just an excuse, the fundamental purpose of dispatching the Polu army to Yingzhou is to protect me.

"Dear dear friends, since the founding of the Taizu Emperor, there were Khitan and Liao people first, then Jin, Xia, and Mongolia. For 300 years, the border areas have never been peaceful, although the economic power of our dynasty surpassed that of the previous ones. In the Han and Tang Dynasties, most of the late emperors adopted a foreign policy of seeking peace, hoping to exchange silver and silk for peace. The capital of the dynasty is still in the hands of foreigners, and tens of thousands of people in our dynasty have been reduced to the inferior people in Mongolia. With the end of the Battle of Xiangyang, with the end of the Song-Mongol War, all this will become history,"

The more I talked, the more excited I became: "In addition to many factors such as economy, culture, technology, and population, the comprehensive strength of a country must also be strong in the military. It will become a meal for others. The reason why the Han and Tang Dynasties are called prosperous times is because they have a powerful army. Therefore, advancing hand in hand and comprehensive development will be the eternal national policy of the Song Dynasty in the future. Only in this way can our dynasty Always stand at the top of the world in terms of comprehensive national strength. Between war and peace, I also like peace, but peace cannot be bought with gold and silver wealth. Whether it is Mongolia today or the Song Dynasty who repeatedly violated us in the past Liao, Jin, and Xia, I believe that only by defeating and crippling them and making them surrender can our court be settled once and for all, and our court can achieve relatively long-term peace."

As soon as my words fell, Jia Sidao took the lead in applauding and said: "Your Majesty is wise, your words are the foundation of building and strengthening a country, and with His Majesty standing above the temple, the future of our Great Song Dynasty will be even more brilliant." ,"

Fan Wenhuan continued to praise: "Your Majesty, only Your Majesty can write about the glory of my Song Dynasty. I borrowed the words of Master Lu, only a god like Your Majesty can lead me to Zhongxing."

I laughed loudly and said, "Dear dears, I have been appointed by heaven to lead me towards ZTE and write a new history of my dynasty. Every one of you here, including the tens of thousands of people in my dynasty, is Follow the destiny, and help me create a new historical situation for the future of our Great Song Dynasty."

"The ministers swear to follow His Majesty to the death and complete the great cause of ZTE,"

"Okay, my family, retreat from the court,"

When I said the last few sentences, I suddenly remembered the education I received before, "The masses of the people are the creators of history." Then, do I, the emperor, count as a member of the masses of the people? Not counting.

Perhaps, this sentence should be changed. History is created by all human beings, so it may be more accurate.

At noon on May [-]rd, accompanied by Yuan Ji and Fang Ling, I came to Shifeng Commercial Firm, summoned Suo Wuji, Ye Dongsheng and others, gave instructions on the security work of Longya after I left Lin'an, and asked them to Cooperate closely with Jinyiwei to maintain the social order of Lin'an City. At the same time, I also said that anyone who is unfavorable to Song Dynasty can be detained first without going through Lin'an Mansion. I had been dispatched to Dali a few days ago to inform Sherikong and Sheriwei to prepare for the uprising.

After talking for about two hours, Fang Ling and I returned to the palace. After meeting Quan Jiu in Funing Palace, we went directly to Ningkun Palace.

Xie Daoqing and a group of concubines were already waiting in the room, even Concubine Yang Shu with her big belly was among them.

"The official family is here," the sharp-eyed Concubine Qiu was the first to shout.

"I've seen the official family," all the concubines stood up to greet him.

"Excuse me," I said with a smile, "I have seen my mother,"

Xie Daoqing gave a "hmm", pointed to the empty seat and said, "Everyone don't need to be polite, just go to the table directly."

The maids waiting on the side quickly served the wine and dishes, and filled everyone's empty cups with Chinese royal liquid. Xie Daoqing raised his glass and said, "Let's raise our glasses together. Today's family banquet is a farewell party for the officials. For the first glass of wine, let's respect the official family together, and wish the official family a successful start and success in no time."

Everyone toasted together and said: "I wish the official family a successful victory and success in no time."

I gulped it down: "Thank you, Queen,"

"This is the second glass of wine, let's wish the official's family safety and return soon," Xie Daoqing said with tears in his eyes. Over the past few years, Xie Daoqing's attitude towards Zhao Yu has completely changed. Zong Liqi is the prince, and his full support up to now is simply a 180-degree turn. The reason for this is that this Zhao Yu is not the other Zhao Yu. Of course, this is something Xie Daoqing could never have imagined.

I gulped it down again, and comforted me: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I am a man of God, with God's protection, I will return safely."

"Well, that's right, what the late emperor said was right, and the queen mother believed it a long time ago." Xie Daoqing raised the third glass of wine, but said to Fang Ling, "Ling'er, the queen mother respects you with the third glass of wine. "

"Ah, the queen mother can't, I should respect you anyway," Fang Ling didn't know why, but felt panicked, how could the queen mother toast him.

"Ling'er, the queen mother knows that you are highly skilled in martial arts. This time the officials will come to the front line in person, and the safety issue will be left to you. So, this third glass of wine,,,,,,"

Fang Ling suddenly realized, and interrupted with a smile: "Queen Mother, that's all, Ling'er thought there was nothing she couldn't do. Don't worry, Queen Mother, Linger has always been a brother for so many years, ah, no, It's the official's personal bodyguard, even Mr. Yuan has praised Linger's martial arts skills, Queen Mother, as long as Linger is alive, she will protect the official family well, "

"Okay, Ling'er, let's finish this cup then,"

Fang Ling quickly raised his glass and said, "Queen Mother, Ling'er respects you,"

After Xie Daoqing finished drinking, he capped the wine bottle and said: "Tomorrow morning, the officials will set off to go north. We will drink the liquor tonight, and we will only be allowed to eat vegetables."

Quan Jiu said: "What the Empress Dowager said is very true, we will drink the rest after the official family triumphs."

Xie Daoqing nodded and said, "Official, before you leave, there is one more important matter that needs to be decided by you,"

"Important matter," I said in a daze, "My queen, I have already discussed with my queen about the court affairs."

Seeing my blank face, Xie Daoqing smiled and said: "It's not a state matter, it's a family matter, the official family. You don't know how long it will take you to return. In two months, Concubine Yang will give birth. The child in this belly is still here." Waiting for you to name it."

I said "oh" and said, "Mother, this, I have already thought about it, the first son of our Zhao family is called Yes, Zhao Shi,"

"Zhao is," Xie Daoqing and Concubine Yang read silently.

I nodded and said: "That's right, that's right, it means that the sun is upright and the sun is down. I mean that the descendants of my Zhao family should be as upright as the sun, and that it will be high above and never decline."

Xie Daoqing said: "Okay, this has a good meaning, and the queen mother agrees, so it's settled."

I used the name of Concubine Yang's son in history, Zhao Shi.

In history, Zhao Shi (AD 1269-1278) was the eldest son of Song Duzong, who succeeded to the throne after his younger brother Song Gongdi Zhao Xian (the seventh emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, born to Quan Jiu) was captured by the Yuan army, and the eighth emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. An emperor, the temple name is Duanzong, the posthumous title is Yu Wenzhao Wu Minxiao Emperor, and he is also known as Emperor Song in history.

In April 1278, on the way to escape, Zhao Shi was caught in the waves. Although Jiang Wanzai, who was over 4 years old, tried his best to rescue him, Jiang Wanzai himself was swept away by the waves. He died in Qizhou in July and was buried in Yongfu Mausoleum (now Lantau Island, Hong Kong).
