"Cough cough..." Seeing that the scene was a little out of control, Zhao Bing coughed lightly, and the hall suddenly became quiet. Whether it was the one who was so excited just now or whispering, those who were watching the situation immediately sat up straight and did not dare to say another word.

"The matters about Haozhou were reported by the Prime Minister, and I approved it!" Zhao Bing took a sip of herbal tea and said, "The original reason is that all the ministers have learned from the official report that they have made a judgment on the merits and demerits. If you think that I am unfair to deal with it, you can write a letter to advise you, and I will give you a chance to speak. If someone disturbs the palace, I will definitely not forgive you!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down, I will be aware of the crime!" The ministers hurriedly stood up and bowed and apologized. They all knew that although the little emperor's words seemed to be both serious and serious, if someone dared to be ungrateful, he would definitely not be able to get good results.

"Prince Wang, please continue!" Zhao Bing glanced at everyone in the hall. Everyone looked down at the sight of him to avoid it, but he smiled secretly in his heart, but he still waved his hands with his face tense and let everyone sit back again, and asked Wang Yinglin to continue giving a report.

"Yes!" Wang Yinglin bowed and said with gratitude. He knew that the little emperor took the initiative to take over this matter, not only to protect himself, but also to establish his authority for him. He also saw the little emperor's prestige among the new generation of bureaucrats, and realized that the day of the court's change was not far away. Perhaps the priest in the court would come from these people in ten years.

After the venue was restored to quiet, Wang Yinglin continued to introduce the domestic situation, as well as the difficulties and response strategies faced by the court, and at the same time required officials at all levels to be impartial and cooperate with the court to do a good job in immigration, increase the population of the two Huai areas, so as to restore the prosperity of this area. Finally, he emphasized the significance of the stability of the Xincheng area to the national defense and economic aspects of the Song Dynasty, and warned everyone not to be influenced by some opposition voices of the court, and to look forward to the long-term, and not to care about the gains and losses and small profits in front of them.

Wang Yinglin was completely intact, and Zhao Bing did not repeat the matters in civil affairs, but introduced the current military situation. He first praised the achievements made by the Northern Expedition, and commended the soldiers of various troops without fear of sacrifice and fought bravely. Then he changed the subject and explained the difficulties and severe situations he was facing.

First of all, since the Northern Expedition, the Song Dynasty can be said to have used the troops of the whole country. While winning the victory, the armies also paid a large amount of casualties. According to preliminary statistics, the casualties caused by the battles in the eastern battlefield alone reached more than 50,000. Especially the front guards who participated in almost all major battles, the casualties reached more than 30%, which could be paid a huge price. Although the casualties of the Western Group were relatively small, there were more than 20,000.

Secondly, the troops have been fighting abroad for nearly a year, and have moved forward thousands of miles and carried out more than 400 large and small battles. It can be said that the battles occur every day. Even though small-scale conflicts with the Mongol Yuan are still frequent now, and the remaining Mongolian Yuan soldiers who wiped out the Xinfu area have not been completely eliminated, they are still colluding with the remaining forces to launch riots and attack the prefectures and plunder the palaces. Due to the war, the people are displaced, gathering people to fight for the bandits, or being entangled by bandits and robbed various places.

Therefore, the military situation in the rear is still serious. The imperial guards not only must garrison in important military cities, but also to deal with the disturbance and invasion of the Mongolian and Yuan troops. The constant riots and bandits have serious problems. The state troops guarding the local area must ensure the smooth flow of transportation lines, material safety and city safety, and at the same time, to deal with bandits, leaving them exhausted. The state military strength is not as strong as possible, and some imperial guards have to assist the local government in suppressing rebellions and suppressing bandits. This has greatly restrained the forces of various troops and it is difficult to organize large-scale battles.

In addition, the various imperial guards were extremely tired due to long-term battles outside, and the casualties and patients also increased in the wind and dining outside. The troops carried out several large-scale battles in succession and failed to carry out effective rest, which was not conducive to organizing and launching new offensives. Now that summer has entered, the increase in rain and the surge in rivers has also increased the difficulty of combat to a certain extent.

In addition, the materials consumed a lot of materials during the Northern Expedition. According to statistics, the departments consumed 1.5 million kilograms of gunpowder, more than 200,000 artillery shells, more than 50,000 rockets, and millions of guns. They were damaged and lost more than 1,000 large and small artillery guns, more than 50,000 flintlock rifles, tens of thousands of war horses, and many other supplies were consumed.

Although some materials have been seized, many are not suitable and are still difficult to fill the needs. In particular, firearms are manufactured entirely by Lin'an military weapons. They are now producing day and night, but they are still difficult to fill the consumption on the front line and can only be replenished by inventory. This not only makes the lost guns and cannons in the front unable to be replenished in time, but also makes some newly formed troops without guns and cannons available.

Now the strategic goals of the East Group have basically been achieved, and although the West Group has also achieved most of its goals, Xiangyang still has not been able to capture it. However, there is no need to say much about the importance of Xiangyang to Jiangnan. If Xiangyang cannot be controlled, the Mongols can still enter the Yangtze River to the south with this. At that time, not only the Jiangnan crisis, but the newly recovered two Huaihe River and Huaibei are also like rootless duckweed, and there is a danger of gaining and losing again.

At the same time, the Sichuan-Shu battlefield has entered a critical period. Although it is not as important as the two main battlefields, it is also an important strategic goal. Sichuan-Shu battlefield is no longer the case, and the Song Dynasty is also facing the dilemma of being attacked from both sides. The Sichuan-Shu Song Dynasty can fill the gaps in defense and threaten the Mongolian Yuan area, causing it to lose an important tax place, and thus weaken its economic capabilities.

Therefore, limited to military industry and material supply capabilities, when the main strategic goals of the East Group have been completed, the departments temporarily moved into a rest and defensive situation, consolidated the new land, concentrated their strength on the battlefields of Jingxiang and Sichuan, and conquered Xiangyang and Chongqing as soon as possible, and then completed the established goals of this Northern Expedition.

After talking about the domestic situation, Zhao Bing began to introduce some information about the Mongolian Yuan that he obtained. He told everyone that after experiencing a series of military failures, the Mongolian Yuan court has re-adjusted its ruling policy towards us, changed from military confrontation to peace talks, and sent a peace prayer mission. Now he has arrived in Kaifeng and is preparing to negotiate peace with our country and end the current war between the two countries.

However, Zhao Bing warned the officials that although the Mongolian Yuan side seemed to have succumbed to the current military failure, we cannot be complacent, nor can we relax our vigilance. The Mongolian Yuan has now reorganized the ruling group, replaced a large number of officials, tried to raise money and grain, and started to form a new army, and dispatched troops to Henan, Shandong and Shaanxi. Therefore, we cannot be deceived by the various illusions made by the Mongolian Yuan, but should still remain vigilant enough to prevent the enemy from fictitious peace talks and real counterattacking.

Afterwards, Zhao Bing briefly introduced the current military strength of the Mongolian Yuan. Now, the two legions of the Mongolian Yuan deployed in the Lianghuai and Central Plains, Duwanhu Prefecture in Henan and Duwanhu Prefecture in Hebei, Shandong, were basically wiped out. The personal army of the guards guarding the capital was severely damaged. The local military field army and the Chi army of the Prospecting Army who were stationed in Jingxiang and Lianghuai were also hit by a devastating blow, with more than 300,000 troops being damaged.

However, the Mongolian Yuan territories are vast, and even if Jiangnan, Jingxiang, Henan, Hebei, Shandong and other places are lost, most of the areas still remain. In addition to the Mongolian army capital Wanhu Mansion in the eastern route of Zhili Central and the Mongolian army capital Marshal's Mansion in the eastern route, the province also has Mongolian troops. As a supplement to the town garrison, there are also Goryeo, Jurchen, and Han army Wanhu Mansion. Goryeo and other soldiers are generally not separated from their hometowns, which is the so-called village soldiers, but they will also be transferred out to guard other areas and participate in the war.

As the main force of the Mongolian and Yuan military forces, the Zongwang Army was stationed on the grasslands in normal times and still maintained a system of unity between military and civilians. During the war, the plan was to defend the northern part of the Mobei region and the western part of the Mobei region, which was used to target the Chagatai Khanate and the Ogedei Khanate and the northwestern army that rebelled against the hostile forces, as well as the central brigade stationed in Helin. During the war, 300,000 troops could be assembled and the Xuanwei Office was established. However, the highest military command in the northern part of the Mobei region was controlled by the King of the Emperor; the eastern grasslands were mostly the king's share areas and the Jurchen, Shuidada and other tribes, and were supervised by the Liaoyang Province.

These armies were the most elite combat forces of the Mongolian Yuan. They were not hit by the battlefield and were not hit, and their establishment and military strength remained intact. After the Mongolian Yuan court transferred Boyan back to the central government, they especially organized and adjusted their military deployment. Now the real gold has issued an order to order more than a dozen sect kings to lead their troops south to the town, and from the northwest, Liaodong and other garrisons to select elite troops into Beijing by "twelve draws one" method, and incorporated them into the personal army of the guards, and rebuilt the Qincha, Halalu and Semu guards.

In addition, Zhen Jin selected elite soldiers from the four major Qiexue ten thousand households, and ordered more than a hundred households to ride and shoot their children into Qiexue to enrich Qiexue's team. At the same time, they eliminated the elderly and weak Qiexue and the playboys who were scrambling to restore the true face of Qiexue's military functions during the first time of Jianxing, and became the elite military force under the command of the Khan, and took on the task of protecting the Khan and suppressing the rebellion. At the same time, Zhen Jin also issued an order to rebuild the entirely annihilated Han army guards, and transferred the Han army military guards who were guarding Helin back to Dadu to restore the five Han army guards on this basis.

In order to solve the financial difficulties, the Yuan court not only stepped up the collection of local debts, ordered the Zongwang to increase the offerings, but also issued measures such as increasing the taxes of salt, iron, wine, etc., and increasing the income and calculating money to increase the national fiscal revenue. In order to implement it, and imitate the Han Dynasty's "calculating order", the people were encouraged to report and conceal. Those who concealed and reported themselves were encouraged to expose the information. Anyone who concealed or reported the falsehood was encouraged to expose the information. Anyone who exposed the truth was confiscated, all the property of the defendant was confiscated, and the border was sentenced to one year, and half of the confiscated property was rewarded to the informant.
