Chapter 1371 Xuanhe Retro - the most ruthless imperial family
81 Chinese website.x8om choked and 1 treacherous
With a roar, the imperial case in Chongzheng Hall of Qionglin Palace fell to the ground. The little yellow doors that were standing with their heads down were all trembling.
Several important ministers also frowned, with a serious expression, and looked like a national disaster was coming.
The national crisis was the fall of Taiyuan! What made Zhao Ji so angry that he wanted to overturn the table was not only the fall of Taiyuan, but also Liu Guangshi lied about military affairs and escaped at the last minute!
Liu Guangshi exposed the memorial! What a 10,000-pound cannon, what a 30-pound flowering bullet, what a 10-pound flowering bullet, what a 10-pound flowering bullet caused a fire to burn half of Taiyuan City... He forgot who Zhao Ji was?
This master is the one who knows everything except not being emperor. In the original history, he plays piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and Taoism. Now with new learning, nature, and mathematics, he has a high IQ of over 130 and has certainly reached 100 points.
Now Zhao Ji is a rationalist, the founder of Qingcheng Academy, and is proficient in math, natural science, engineering and military science!
He participated in the compilation of the artillery science textbooks in the Great Song Dynasty Martial Arts Palace! The formula of military gunpowder for the Great Song Dynasty was determined only after Zhao Ji's personal experiment!
Will Zhao Ji believe that a single shot is decayed for more than ten miles? Will he believe that the flowering bullet will destroy half of Taiyuan City? He has seen the flowering bullet... Now there are also orthopedic experts in the Qingcheng Academy developing shells and cannons.
What is the power of the flower bomb? Zhao Ji doesn’t know? Blasting half of the city? At least a few million kilograms of black gunpowder is enough!
Liu Guangshi was talking nonsense, obviously lying about military information. Moreover, he lost the East and West cities of Taiyuan Prefecture this time too fast!
Taiyuan city defense is not comparable to small cities like Chitang Pass, Baijing Village. Moreover, Taiyuan has two cities in the east and west! There are still Xicheng that cannot be defended in the east city! The west city is on the west bank of the Fen River, and can rely on the Fen River for defense. How could it be lost so quickly?
Obviously, Liu Guangshi escaped at the last minute!
And this guy ran to Shaanxi in one breath... His legs are too long!
Zhao Ji, who had just pushed down his imperial case, stood there blankly, and heard Dazai Ji Yi shouting: "Your Majesty, please calm down your anger... Liu Guangshi abandoned the city and fled, and he deserved to die, and he should be severely punished. As long as he kills one to warn a hundred, it will definitely be exciting, and the situation of the war is still worth doing!"
"Liu Guangshi naturally needs to be severely punished!" Zhao Ji shouted angrily, "But how can we do more next?"
"Your Majesty can lead the army in person!"
Ji Yi gritted her teeth and said, "Since the Eastern thieves have seized Taiyuan, they will definitely go south to the Weisheng Army, Longde Prefecture, Zezhou, Huaizhou... After breaking Huaizhou, the Eastern thieves will face the Yellow River! The Western Beijing Luoyang and Gongyi Imperial Tomb will be under the front of the Eastern thieves.
Your Majesty can lead the army to personally garrison Henan Prefecture!”
"No!" The one who raised his voice to oppose Zong Ze, the Tongzhi Privy Council, was the general of the Privy Council. He was previously supervised by Tong Guan, and was later replaced by Tong Guan and returned to the Privy Council. "Ji Yi doesn't know military affairs and is full of nonsense! If the Eastern thief breaks through Huaizhou, he will look across the Yellow River from Zhengzhou. How can Your Majesty personally go to Henan Prefecture? If the Eastern thief crosses the river to capture Zhengzhou, how can Your Majesty return to Kaifeng Prefecture?"
Want to return to Kaifeng Prefecture?
Zhao Ji was speechless when he looked at Mr. Zongze.
Ji Yi proposed an in-person expedition to actually make excuses for Zhao Ji to escape.
For the emperor Zhao Ji, when this person is panic, the most difficult thing is to leave the capital.
As long as you can go out, it will be vast.
Even if you go to Henan Prefecture honestly, it would be nothing. Ji Yi only said that he would personally conquer Henan Prefecture and not personally conquer Luoyang, but that he opened a back door for Zhao Ji.
Luoyang is the capital of Henan, but you don’t have to enter Luoyang City when you personally attack Henan Prefecture! There are many territories in the south of the mountains south of the Luoyang Basin. Zhao Ji could stay on the bank of the Yishui River. When you see something wrong, you will immediately run to the Nanyang Basin. Just cross Xionger Mountain to enter the Nanyang Basin. Then Xiangyang Prefecture is also close. After entering Xiangyang, Zhao Ji has nothing to be afraid of.
No matter how awesome the Zhou army is, it is impossible for them to break through the defense of Xiangyang Prefecture... at least in the next few years, they will not have such strength.
"What Zong Ze said is wrong!" Ji Yi saw that his plan was revealed and immediately refuted loudly, "Your Majesty, the target of the Eastern Thieves must be the Western Capital Luoyang.
The strong soldiers in the world all came from Qin, Jin, Yan and Zhao. Now all the Eastern thieves occupied Yan territory, half of them occupied Jin and Zhao. If they took over the Weisheng army, Longde Prefecture, Zezhou, Huaizhou, and crossed the river to take Luoyang, they could cut off the liaison between the imperial court and the Qin and Jin areas.
No matter how rare the support from the Qin and Jin land was, the Qin and Jin land would soon be obtained by the Eastern thieves.
The Hebei army will also abandon the land and retreat because of threats from the side. In this way, the Qin, Jin, Yan and Zhao are all thieves!
Without Qin, Jin, Yan and Zhao, how could Daliang survive alone? How could the court gain a foothold in the Central Plains?"
This is a good reason!
The Qin, Jin, Yan and Zhao generations have produced strong soldiers since ancient times. If anyone in history has had Qin, Jin, Yan and Zhao, it is basically no problem to unify the world. Of course, it is another matter after the Yuan Dynasty. However, before the Song Dynasty, Qin, Jin, Yan and Zhao were absolutely used.
Once captured by the Zhou Kingdom, the Song Dynasty would lose the Central Plains.
The Song Dynasty, which lost the Central Plains, was left to live in peace and live in a state of vain.
Ji Yi continued: "Hebei can no longer be defended now! The Weisheng Army, Longde Prefecture, Zezhou, and Huaizhou have no soldiers at all! How can we resist 100,000 Eastern thieves? If the Eastern thieves arrive in Huaizhou, even if they are not the Yellow River, they can advance east along the Yellow River to threaten the rear of the Hebei army.
Since Hebei will inevitably lose, the land of Guanlong cannot be lost no matter what! If Guanlong is lost, the imperial court has money and nowhere to recruit elite soldiers!"
In fact, it is a very wise choice to give up Kaifeng Prefecture during the war and retreat to Xiangyang Prefecture.
Xiangyang Prefecture connects Jiangnan through the Jianghan River and Sichuan two wallets, while the Qinling Mountains connects the source of the Guanlong army through the Qinling Mountains.
Therefore, as long as you master Xiangyang, the Song Dynasty could transport the wealth of Sichuan and Jiangnan to Guanzhong and hire simple and brave Qin soldiers to maintain the war.
But Zong Ze knew that Zhao Ji could not leave Kaifeng Prefecture at this time.
"Your Majesty," Zong Ze said loudly, "It will take more than ten days for the Eastern thieves to approach the Yellow River! The more than 200,000 new troops placed on the Hebei bastion defense line, and the tens of thousands of new troops of the Zhaoyi army have not yet begun to retreat. If the Zhaoyi army and the Hebei army are surrounded by the Eastern thieves, the court will lose 300,000 troops to fight!
Without these 300,000 war soldiers, the Song Dynasty would be in danger of collapse. Therefore, we cannot fight west now, but should fight north! Your Majesty does not have to leave the capital and is in charge of Kaifeng Prefecture. I am not talented and would like to raise a brigade army to cross the Yellow River north and block Dongzedong from entering Huaizhou."
Zhao Ji was a little shaken when he heard Zong Ze's words. After all, there are 300,000 new troops in Hebei. If some of them can be rescued, his life will be much better in the future.
He looked at Dazai Ji Yi, who said, "Your Majesty's personal expedition must be prepared for some days. Zong Ze can leave the capital first and serve as the governor of the Privy Council, Hebei and Hedong. At the same time, he ordered Lu Yihao to withdraw the Hebei troops as soon as possible to the capital.
When the Hebei army arrives, it will be not too late for Your Majesty to go out to the west to expedition in Kaifeng Prefecture.”
Without waiting for Zong Ze to speak, Zhao Ji nodded immediately and said, "Okay, let's follow Ji Qing's report!"
...
Kaifeng Prefecture, the Prince's East Palace.
Zhao Huan, the prince of the Song Dynasty, was bent down at this time and looked down at a map spread on the desk. Four huge arrows were marked on the map. One crossed the sea from the Liaodong Peninsula to point to Jingdong East Road; one pointed south from Tianjin Prefecture to Cangzhou; one pointed west from Tianjin Prefecture to Hejian Prefecture; and the other went around a large circle, from Yizhou, passing through Bingdai Road, Taiyuan Prefecture, and pointing to Weisheng Army.
The prince stood behind the prince's house, Geng Nanzhong, the secretary of the prince's mansion. Looking at the precarious situation on the map, there was a hint of undetectable smile on the corner of his mouth.
"A big detour!" The prince shook his head, "The 100,000 army rushed to more than a thousand miles, as if it had entered a no-man's land. We caught us off guard... Can the more than 300,000 new troops in Hebei retreat? The Eastern thieves were probably ready to pursue them long ago? This battle was too cowardly!"
"Your Highness is wise!" Geng Nanzhong said, "In fact, the main reason for the failure in Hedong in Hebei is that there are too few troops!
The total strength of the three armies that restrained us is 300,000, and the detours are 100,000. In addition, the number of soldiers and horses confronting our fortress defense line on the border is 500,000! But what about us? Including the new army of Zhaoyi Army, it is only more than 300,000... Morale, training, and equipment are all a little short of it, and it is almost enough to be able to withstand the 200,000 East thieves."
Zhao Huan nodded, "It's still a loss in terms of law!
The Song Dynasty, with a population of 100 million, has a military force that is less than the Eastern Thieves with a population of more than 10 million. It is not unfair to lose this battle!"
"Yes, as long as we can truly implement retro, curb mergers, and promote equalization, our dynasty will definitely be able to revive."
"Is it still too late?" Zhao Huan shook his head, "Not even saying that Hebei and Hedong are corrupt, the more than 300,000 new troops will have to be lost at least half, right? It would be great if 150,000 can be returned."
"If you can get 100,000 yuan back, the country will have hope!" Geng Nanzhong said, "The key now is still your highness!
As long as Your Highness can seize the power as soon as possible and then move the capital to Jingzhao Mansion, retro can succeed. If retro can succeed, the Song Dynasty can revive it!"
"But my father is going to Luoyang..."
"Then I won't let him go!" Geng Nanzhong gritted his teeth gently, "Zong Ze stopped the official family today and won some days for us. As long as the defeated Hebei army did not leave before returning to Beijing, things would be hopeful!"
"The defeated army in Hebei?" Crown Prince Zhao Huan took a breath, "Incite military chaos?"
Zhao Huanxin said: This is wrong! Didn’t you wear a yellow robe again? Why did the ancestors of the Song Dynasty do the things they did day and night?
Geng Nanzhong said: "Your Highness, this matter is foolproof! It's all in your mind. If you don't object, don't say anything. The officials and the ministers of the retro party will make everything properly."
Zhao Huan knew it was inappropriate, but at this time, he couldn't say anything.
The most ruthless imperial family! Now that the power is within your reach, how can you give up?
