After these few days, everyone has heard His Majesty say many times, in Jiazi Town, in Yashan, in Qiongzhou, in Lin'an, in Yangzhou, in Yangzhou, in Fuli, in Xuzhou, and in Yingtian Prefecture... But whenever something happens, His Majesty will rush forward without stopping and never rest well.

"Your Majesty has fought for thousands of miles, and there is no leisure for half a day, so it's okay to rest for two days. The dragon body is the most important!" Lin Zhiwu bowed and asked again.

"You have been by my side for a long time, and now you are a commissar of all the way. You should know that 'When millet travels for 300 miles, the country will not accumulate in one year; when millet travels for 400 miles, the country will not accumulate in two years; when millet travels for 500 miles, the people will be hungry'. Now, hundreds of thousands of troops have been mobilized to fight for more than a year, and it will cost more than a thousand gold every day. If the war is extended for one day, the financial pressure of the court will increase. I really dare not rest!" Zhao Bing helped him up.

"Your Majesty works hard for state affairs every day and forgets to eat and sleep. He is incompetent and cannot share your worries!" Lin Zhiwu stood up and said sadly. He was ordered to raise food and grass for the Jingxiang tribes to supply the front line. Naturally, he knew how much food was consumed every day. More than 100,000 people could pile up a mountain of cakes for just one meal. As a result, the food and grass accumulated in Huguang and Guang were consumed for half a year. He could only raise it from the people in every way, and the money spent was huge to ensure the use of the front. He was already worried that he could not eat or sleep. However, what His Majesty was not only Jingxiang, but also had to consider the entire country, and the pressure he was under was a hundred times greater than his own.

"You have done a good job. Not only do you have to ensure the needs of the Jingxiang battlefield, but you also have to provide food and salary for Sichuan and Shu. However, you have not used the money allocated by the court, and it has not caused local turmoil. Even I can't do it!" Zhao Bing patted his shoulders and praised.

"Yes, Jiangdong is richer than Huguang, and the taxes are twice as high as that of Huguang. All local officials complained. However, Lin Caoshuo was able to properly manage and manage well. He used the taxes of one place to ensure the consumption of two battlefields. He was actually a cadre of the country!" Wang Yinglin also praised.

"I regret not abandoning martial arts and learning literature now, so I wish I could not charge forward and share your worries with Your Majesty!" Lin Zhiwu said angrily. In fact, he had the opportunity to join the army in Qiongzhou when he was in charge of his military commander, but because of a moment, he gave up this opportunity and became His Majesty's minister and entered the civil service system.

"..." Ni Liang remained silent and said nothing, but his eyes were even more worried. He often guarded His Majesty, so naturally he knew the hard work of his work than anyone else.

"You are also sharing my worries now. If you hadn't your hard work, how could I concentrate on the war between the two Huai Rivers!" Zhao Bing smiled and said, "Now it's time for me. Some things need to be done ahead. No more things happening in Fancheng!"

"I (subordinate) please give me the order!" The few of them bowed in unison.

Zhao Bing knew that Jiang Jin's body needed urgent treatment and could not assist him in military affairs. Although his departure would not cause turmoil, some turmoil was inevitable. Therefore, it is imperative to stabilize the morale of the army and the peaceful transition of power. Secondly, it is necessary to fully understand the combat effectiveness of the troops and whether the command system is smooth; and further, it is necessary to understand the family's assets, the current reserve of food, weapons and ammunition, and whether it can withstand a major battle.

All of them are Zhao Bing's confidant officials, and they do not need to cover up and give them a blunt order. He ordered Wang Yinglin to go to the mansion to see Jiang Jin tomorrow in the name of a private visit. One is to see if he really gave up his military power and resigned to recuperate; the other is to ask whether he was satisfied with his arrangements. He arranged two routes for him: to temporarily go to Ezhou to rest, and to continue to preside over the military and political affairs of Jingxiang after he recovered, and to be his chief official. The other is to give up his current position, return to Lin'an to recuperate, and restore his position as deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and to preside over the daily affairs of the Privy Council. Or he is transferred to the Minister of War, no longer leading troops to fight, but instead manage military and political affairs.

The reason why Zhao Bing asked Wang Yinglin to do this without talking in person. First of all, he said it himself, and he made up his word and had no room for maneuver. Jiang Ying must obey whether he was satisfied or not. In this way, he would feel uncomfortable. Secondly, Wang Yinglin and Jiang Ying had the same official rank and had a friendship of the previous generation, so he had to speak casually, so he could discuss the pros and cons. Moreover, this would also show his respect for him, leaving him with room for choice, and would not make everyone's hearts cold.

Zhao Bing also ordered Ni Liang and Chen Shishi to meet with officers from the Jingxiang General Office and the Sixth Army in the name of visiting old friends and former colleagues in the army, and ask them about the actual situation in the army. The reason why they used the excuse of private meetings rather than summoning them as the imperial guards can avoid causing dissatisfaction among the generals of the Jingxiang army and also can find out the real situation.

You should know that in the small land of Qiongzhou, everyone looked down and saw each other. After entering Jiangnan, when the imperial guards expanded their troops on a large scale, all departments lacked officers. Zhao Bing selected more than 2,000 officers at all levels from the imperial guards to support each department. Although these people were like hundreds of thousands of troops, they served as officers at all levels as core officers and were very familiar with the situation of the superiors. When the old superiors came, they would not hide it even if they wanted to know some inside information.

Zhao Bing then ordered Lin Zhiwu to check the material reserves in the name of the Huguang Transportation Department, thoroughly find out the basic situation, and then grasp the real forces of each department to facilitate the deployment and use of troops later. At the same time, it also made it difficult for Xu Wudi to serve as a team. He selected capable personnel from the General Office of the Imperial Front Guards' Command to participate, and together with the Guards' Personal Guards Brigade, he formed several reconnaissance teams to conduct comprehensive and detailed reconnaissance on the terrain and troop deployment around Xiangyang, providing detailed information for formulating a siege plan.

Everyone took the order and left. Zhao Bing washed his face, ate randomly and then threw himself into a mountain of documents. During the day, he had to make up for the time he wasted in the evening. The court still had many urgent tasks that he needed to make up for, but he could not delay it. At the beginning, he didn't need to drink strong tea. He drank countless cups of strong tea, and he had not slept for more than an hour until dawn approached.

In the early morning, Zhao Bing still got up on time and went out for morning exercises with the guard camp. After the exercise, he simply washed up and had breakfast in the guard camp. During this period, due to frequent march and time tight, the accompanying imperial kitchen could not adapt to this fast pace and often delayed meals. He simply ordered the entourage staff to disperse to the guard camp and various departments of the guard regiment for meals, and the imperial kitchen was closed.

The inner guards in charge of the camp in the guard camp can be said to be with Zhao Bing at all times, so they can work with them nearby, eating whatever they eat. Even if they miss the meal, they can keep the meal without having to catch a fire separately. This is convenient for everyone, and these guards are trustworthy people, so there is no need to worry about someone poisoning them in the meal.

After breakfast, everyone sent messages to pass messages, those who were in contact with each other, and those who were visiting friends went to visit friends. Zhao Bing also had something to do. Liu Hong, the commander of the Second Artillery Division of the Imperial Army, and Yu Yue, the commander of the Second Cavalry Division, came to ask for an interview. The Independent Artillery Division of the Imperial Army and the Cavalry Division were both directly under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council and had no affiliation with the Jingxiang Marine General Office, but was temporarily assigned to them, and their relationship was relatively loose.

"See Your Majesty!" After seeing the emperor, the two of them immediately bowed and worshiped.

"Don't need too much politeness, thank you for your hard work!" Zhao Bing raised his hand and asked them to quit.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two of them stood up again and sat down next to His Majesty. A small yellow door brought tea, fruits and snacks.

"What do you think about transferring you to Jingxiang to fight?" Zhao Bing handed them a peach and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I am so frustrated here!" Liu Hong, the commander of the Second Artillery Division, bit Taozi and said with a bitter face.

Artillery and cavalry were both special forces in the Song army and Zhao Bing's treasures. When he started his business, he won the first victory with more than a dozen crossbows and rocket launchers and gained a foothold in the army. The Song army lacked horses and was always very small when they were in Qiongzhou. Only the imperial guards had a cavalry regiment and the other divisions had only one direct cavalry battalion. It was not until a batch of war horses were seized in the war to recover Jiangnan that they were able to develop and grow.

Therefore, the artillery and cavalry units have close relationships with Zhao Bing. It can be said that they grew up under his personal leadership and training. The main generals all came from the old camp at that time, and Liu Hong and Yu Yue were the same, and they called him his confidant generals. Naturally, they were not separated from His Majesty, and they spoke a lot more casually, and they started to complain when they opened their mouths.

"Where are you?" Zhao Bing didn't think it was, and asked Yu Yue with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I can't get better. Although I treat us well, I'm actually from my heart!" Yu Yue was more polite and stuttered in a peach, and said genuinely.

"What is the situation? It makes you feel so deeply resentful." Zhao Bing was a little surprised. The two belonged to different types of troops and their roles on the battlefield were different. It was normal to use them at lightness and severeness, but it was abnormal for them to complain.

"Your Majesty, since our Second Division was assigned to the Jingxiang Marine General Office, we have participated in very few battles, and most of the time we have been following the General Office. We took the initiative to fight, but they actually despised us for the burden. Not only did we march slowly, but we also needed to send troops to protect us. Therefore, we could only sit on the bench and have not made any achievements for several months. It makes people suspect that they were worried that we would steal their contributions, or that we did not know how to use artillery." Liu Hong finished gnawing the peaches and said hatefully.
