Chapter 1: Waiting for you to fight

Zhao Bing thought of doing it. He knew that this should be done sooner rather than later. It is impossible to complete an industry of an industry that is not valued. From the selection and breeding of cotton to the dissemination of planting technology, maturity, and then to the deep processing and application of cotton to satisfying military use, it takes at least three or four years. So he drafted an edict overnight, ordering Lu Xiufu, who was left in the capital, to preside over the discussion, discussing the expansion and encouragement of cotton planting, and recruiting people with textile technology in Qiongzhou to come to Beijing to spread the art.

At the same time, Zhao Bing also ordered Zhou Yi, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, to collect textile tools, imitate them, improve and research. He also formed a textile school under the supervision to recruit students and train craftsmen. He also put the construction of textile workshops on the agenda, so as to strive to be put into operation in time after the first season of cotton harvest, summarize experience for large-scale production, prepare craftsmanship, and cultivate skilled workers.

‘Dong, dong, dong…’ Zhao Bing ordered Wang De to stamp the letter with seal in the morning, seal it with fire paint, and sent a messenger to Lin'an quickly. He had just finished breakfast and wanted to sleep in a sleep, but he heard the sound of war drums, and it was tighter. He heard that this was not the sound of the gathering of generals, but a warning.

"Your Majesty, all the defenders of Yangzhou City are coming out and coming to our camp. Ni Dushuai has sent generals to fight in front of the camp, and sent people to the camp to report to Your Majesty to know!" At this time, Tan Fei entered the tent and reported.

"Well, I understand, let him command and report the situation of the war at any time!" Zhao Bing nodded, took a towel and wiped his hands and said, his face calm and did not show any tension or excitement.

"Yes, my subordinates obey the order and report to the coach Ni Du immediately!" Tan Fei saluted.

"Why is Commander Tan not going to set up defenses when he is alive?" At this moment, Wang Yinglin hurried into the tent and saw Tan Fei going outside, stopping him and saying unhappy.

"Mr. Wang, don't be anxious. This camp is as solid as a rock. It is not easy for the enemy to break the village!" Tan Fei explained.

"How can you be careless when your Majesty is in your hands? This time the enemy came not as good as before. It was all the elite troops, with 30,000 troops, and the battle was supervised by Wanhubadu, Yangzhou. But you are so careless. If you make any mistakes, how can we have the face to return to Beijing!" Wang Yinglin said anxiously and angry when he saw his words.

"Governor Wang, the generals should be calm. You are so panicked that you will shake the morale of the army." Zhao Bing asked the little yellow gate to remove the bowls and chopsticks, interrupted with a smile, and waved his hand to signal Tan Fei to return the front.

"Your Majesty, I have lost my manners. But the enemy is facing you, please avoid it and make sure you have everything!" Wang Yinglin then let Tan Fei go forward and salute.

"The camp is my garrison, the center, and the place where the soldiers in the army look forward to it. If the camp is unmoved, it will make the soldiers mistakenly think that I am afraid before fighting, which will affect morale. And just as Tan Fei said, it is a delusion to just rely on the Yangzhou garrison to shake our army's camp, and I am afraid that I will even be beaten to death." Zhao Bing said.

"What Your Majesty said is, but I think the bandit army is coming in full force this time and I am determined to win it. It is safer to move the throne to the water camp!" Wang Yinglin said, but he refused to compromise.

"Governor Wang, I will not go to the Water Village, and I will go to observe the enemy's formation in person to boost the army's power!" Zhao Bing did not want to face the enemy, but gave it to Ni Liang for full command, but his repeated requests to leave him, which aroused his anger and wanted to come to the battle formation in person.

After hearing this, Wang Yinglin looked dark and secretly regretted it. He wanted to persuade the emperor to move the camp to make plans, but he did not expect to be so excited that he would come to the battle formation in person. He dared not say anything else. He could only persuade him with kind words to make the little emperor give up the idea of ​​leaving the camp, but he did not dare to stay away. He accompanied him to the Wang Tower in the camp to watch the enemy formation. Zhao Bing had actually been awakened, and when he became the emperor, he lost the opportunity to fight. So he went downstairs to follow his advice and led a group of guards to the Wang Tower.

With the continuous expansion and consolidation of the camp, the facilities in the camp gradually improved. A tall tower was built in the camp to check the situation of the enemy, and it also meant to monitor the movements and stills of the army. Before the little emperor and his party arrived, guards surrounded the three sides of the tower, added ceilings for cold prevention, and left only the north to observe the enemy. The furnishings were also very simple, with only a few hu beds and a short table, and a brazier. Only an imperial flag that fluttered in the wind showed that this was the place of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Bing stood upstairs, picked up his telescope and looked north. He saw that he was about 200 steps in front of the camp, with various military flags chaotic eyes. The three infantry brigades of the front guards were the central army with one brigade as the central army, and the fourth brigade and the fifth brigade were arranged on the left and right wings. The artillery brigades were arranged between the central army formations and faced the enemy head-on; the cavalry brigades were arranged on the right wing and sent cavalry to restrain the enemy's vanguard in front of the formation to win time for their formation; the left wing was provided with artillery fire cover by the navy to prevent the enemy from circumventing the left wing infantry formation.

Looking forward, the flag of the Mongol Marshal is the name of Badu, and the two divisions of Mengge Wanhu Mansion and Zuoshou Wanhu Mansion were also fought. All the elite soldiers in Yangzhou City were gathered, with about 30,000, and the cavalry had 20,000 horses galloping, the sound shook the field, and the rising smoke covered the sun. They walked two miles in front of the formation and began to arrange the formation. The cavalry was arranged on both wings, and the central army had archers shooting at the base.

As the arrays of both sides gradually took shape, the rovers who were cruising in front of the formation also returned to their own teams. The sound of war drums and horns gradually subsided, and the battlefield fell into peace for a moment. As the saying goes, the formation of troops was overwhelming. At present, nearly 70,000 people from both sides lined up and stretched for ten miles to confront each other. The scene was shocking and made people's blood boil.

Seeing this, Zhao Bing just smiled. The enemy was in a decisive battle with him, and it seemed that he was really forced to do so. When the two armies were conducting offensive and defensive battles around Yangzhou City, he ordered the second and third divisions of the second and fourth divisions of the second and third divisions of the army to attack Zhenzhou City and Taizhou City, which were empty defenses, to ensure the safety of the east and west directions of the Daying. This also hurts Du Ge and Tuliedu. The two cities are the bases of their Wanhu Mansion and are also the foundation of their establishment.

Now that the Song army has taken the nest, Brother Du has a deep understanding of this. It is true that the Song army will not leave any hair on the border, and the population, livestock and property will definitely be lost. It is equivalent to making them lose the foundation for replenishing food and grass and soldiers. This can be said to have touched their fundamental interests, so of course they have to fight to the death. But this is what Zhao Bing wants. Only by hurting them will they be anxious to rescue the siege, which prompts Yuxi Timur to take a risky battle.

‘Woooo…’ The sound of the horn of the Mongolian Yuan camp suddenly sounded, breaking the brief silence on the battlefield. A team of only a few people galloped out.

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect these Di Yi to know the ceremony of the teacher!" Wang Yinglin suddenly said.

"Treat to the teacher? What is to the teacher!" Zhao Bing turned his face and looked at Wang Yinglin. He saw that his face was pale. He didn't know whether it was scared or frozen. He had a smile on his face, but it made people feel very reluctant. He knew that he had never been in the battle. For the first time, he was often shocked by the murderous aura on the battlefield. He was frightened and his legs were trembling. It was normal for Wang Yinglin to pretend to be calm. Although Wang Yinglin's forced appearance was ridiculous, it was understandable.

"Your Majesty, when the ritual of 'to-teacher' began is no longer verified, but the position of 'Huan Ren' has been recorded in "The Book of Zhou·Xia Guan", and his primary job is to lead the teacher." Wang Yinglin explained, "What is the ritual of 'to-teacher? Zheng Xuan's commentary of the Eastern Han Dynasty: Those who lead to the teacher will achieve their determination to fight. In ancient times, they will fight, and first let brave men invade the enemy."

"Is it a tribute to the teacher a fight?!" Zhao Bing said in surprise. The most attractive thing he heard in his previous life was the fight scenes between military generals, so that "who dares to fight me for 300 rounds" became a catchphrase in his childhood. The war model in the novel, which determines success or failure by fighting the generals constituted his basic understanding of ancient wars. However, after experiencing the war in this era, he naturally understood that the concept at that time was really wrong. Although the bravery of the generals was useful, it did not play a major role. Famous generals such as Han Xin, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and others were not known for their extraordinary martial arts, and he had never seen the legendary fight on the battlefield.

"It can also be said!" Wang Yinglin hesitated and said, "Your Majesty also knows that since the Shang Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period, chariot warfare was the main combat method. Bicycle was the basic unit of the army organization at this time, including three armored soldiers on the chariot, a certain number of infantrymen immediately behind the chariot, as well as corresponding logistics vehicles and personnel. The three armored soldiers on the chariot were headed by the left car on the left, and were good at shooting archery; the weapons on the right car were long weapons such as spears, spears, which were responsible for melee combat and cleared obstacles for the chariots at the same time; the one in the center was the driver who drove the war horses."

"When you catch the enemy, the driver will drive the carriage quickly so that the flags on the carriage will be like falling; the left chariot is shot by the enemy with arrows, and after arriving at the enemy camp, the coachman will temporarily control the reins for the coachman, and the coachman will jump off the chariot and leisurely fix the horses. On the other hand, the warrior who is the right chariot quickly rushed into the enemy camp, killing the enemy and cutting off his left ear, or capturing the prisoners alive. After completing the task, the three people quickly drove away."

"Haha, I have never seen this kind of courtesy when I was in the battle!" Zhao Bing smiled. But he also knew through his description that it was a very dangerous move. When a war broke out, the chariots charged and tore up the enemy's formation, and the infantry followed closely behind to fight. However, when the chariots arrived, there were only three soldiers in the chariots and no infantry participated, because this was not a formal battle.
