Chapter 423
The establishment of the Song Dynasty army was directly controlled by the emperor. The military power was divided into three parts, the Privy Council was in charge of military registration, tiger talisman, and the three yamen were in charge of the army, leading the ministers to the military, each with its own control. The power was divided and the upper and lower levels were in harmony, so that the military power was highly concentrated in the emperor. Although the Privy Council was the highest military organ in the central government, in charge of military affairs, military orders, and strategic decision-making, military operations generally had to be ordered to the emperor. Therefore, theoretically speaking, even if Zhang Shijie was a Privy Councilor, he could mobilize one army and one soldier without the emperor's order.
However, it is an extraordinary period and the emperor has not taken charge. Zhang Shijie can mobilize the army under the pretext of the empress dowager's imperial decree. But he forgot that the emperor had already regained military power when he left the brigade last night and reappointed the military officials, and was recognized by 6 Xiufu and others. In fact, it was equivalent to crossing the Privy Council and directly controlling the army. Without a new decree, he could not mobilize the army. Now Zhao Bing sent people to send an order to send him back to the army, which had already given him face, but he still drove away the envoys in the name of being ordered by the empress dowager, which was a crime.
"The last general will obey the order! All the Huai Army units will return to the port immediately. No mistakes must be made. Those who violate the law will be killed and unpardoned!" Lu Shicheng was ordered by the emperor to temporarily take charge of the Huai Army. Seeing that His Majesty was here in person, he was brave enough. He bowed and bowed to accept the order on another warship.
"You... Your Majesty, be at ease!" Zhang Shijie was also very anxious when he saw the little emperor being serious. He knew that if he led his troops back to Hong Kong at this moment, he would have a big loss. And the indifferent person Lu Shicheng actually obeyed the order, so he wanted to scold him loudly. But thinking that the emperor was still in front of him, and doing so was equivalent to openly resisting the order. At the moment, he had no choice but to ask for instructions.
"Please tell me the words of the Grand Tutor!" Zhao Bing secretly laughed. He had had sex with the Zhang man in the past two days. He just persuaded Zhang Hongfan to death last night, but today he wanted to talk about life. Now that he is kind-hearted, he can't be nervous and nodded.
"Your Majesty, the enemy's army is newly defeated, Guangzhou is empty, and you can find a gap to capture Guangzhou to gain a foothold, and then recover the prefectures and counties on the East Road of Guangnan!" Zhang Shijie said again across the ship.
"Does the Taifu think our army can go to Guangzhou in one go?" Zhao Bing chuckled, "Li Heng, deputy commander of the Yuan army, disappeared. The troops searched for the surrounding seas and had nowhere to go. I thought he had sneaked back to Guangzhou at night yesterday. How could he have been in danger of being unprepared? Furthermore, even if we recovered Guangzhou, the city had been demolished and there was no danger to defend. Does the Taifu think he could stand it? In addition, although the enemy naval forces in Jiangnan were severely damaged, the strength of the Red Army and the Han army left behind in various places was still there. It only takes tens of thousands of troops to mobilize in just a few days. At that time, we can only escape from the ocean. If we travel like this, why do we need to waste our troops?"
"This..." Zhang Shijie knew what the little emperor said was right, and he felt that this kid was not aggressive. When he was just a prince, he secretly cheated him, but at that time he was just asking for money. But now he is the emperor, and he still makes things difficult for him to tell him. Today he took the opportunity to seize power, but what he said is reasonable, which makes him unable to refute for the time being.
"Taifu, our army has been fighting continuously for nearly a month, and we are already tired and needing rest. How can we fight one after another? We still need to be polite to the military strength!" Zhao Bing looked at his embarrassed look and knew that he knew everything he said, but he still forced himself to pee at the kang with his eyes open, or he wanted to lead the army away, but no matter why he still had to give him a step.
"Master General, Your Majesty is right. The army suffered heavy casualties. It is difficult to fight again without rest!" Su Liuyi thought it was a plea.
"Supervisor, our army has also reduced a lot of personnel, less than half a dozen. If we fight again, it will be difficult to support it!" Fang Yulong, the commander of the left army of the Huai Army, also advised.
"Ship, the soldiers of various troops have not yet rested since the battle yesterday and have been exhausted. They need to think twice before going to war!" Lu Shicheng said across the boat.
"Shut up, let's take the opportunity to fight for a moment. When Li Heng returns to Guangzhou and prepares, why can we fight again? Only by seizing Guangzhou can we replenish the troops. Will rest and rest now be a waste of the opportunity to fight?" Zhang Shijie glared at Su Liuyi and said, blaming him for being ignorant. Fang Yulong immediately bowed his head. The right vanguard he guarded yesterday was breached by the Yuan army and then lowered the flag and asked to surrender. Later, he was rescued when the guards counterattacked. Now he is actually a crime. It is precisely because of this that he has to send troops to redeem his previous sins. For Liang Shicheng, who has "betrayed" himself, he has no eyelids.
"Your Majesty, it is precisely because of the successive battles that the military capital is exhausted and the food and wages are not enough. Only by seizing Guangzhou can you replenish the needs." Zhang Shijie didn't want to do anything to do it. After more than a few subordinates, he gave another reason that is difficult to refute. Now he has no money, no food, and no weapons. If you don't want to kill Guangzhou, you can't live. Now you are fighting, or not, little emperor, please do it!
"Haha, the Grand Tutor's words are good, but they are also wrong!" Zhao Bing suddenly smiled.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what's the point? I'm confused!" Zhang Shijie looked at His Majesty's naive smile, but his words were mysterious and mysterious, and he could not understand them. He could only ask.
"Tao Fu, we won this battle!" Zhao Bing curled his lips and said with a smile.
"Oh, we won..." Zhang Hongfan understood as soon as he heard this, and his old face was a little anxious and murmured. He realized how ridiculous his reason was. He had accumulated enough food for half a year to eat, and there were still dozens of ships of property, and there were no shortage of food and salary for the time being. If he won, there would be a lot of seizures. Zhang Hongfan led nearly 100,000 troops to fight, and he must have carried a lot of supplies. Of course, these things were not in his hands, but they fell into the bag of the little emperor. He said this clearly humiliated himself.
"Tao Fu, God's will cannot be violated. A storm will come tonight. I'm afraid that the entire army will be blocked if it doesn't take Guangzhou. It's better to go back to Hong Kong and avoid it before making plans!" Zhao Bing saw that Zhang Shijie had understood what he was saying and said with a smile.
"Taifu, there have been rumors in the army that Your Majesty has the ability to be in the sky, and you can predict the good and bad luck of the wind and rain. Let's go back to the army!" Su Liuyi didn't want to go to conquer Guangzhou at this moment, and the reason given by Your Majesty could avoid being punished this time, regardless of whether it is true or false. He stepped forward and persuaded him.
"The sayings of ghosts and gods are all false words, how can we believe it!" Zhang Shijie said hatefully, secretly blaming him for disturbing the morale of the army, but he was also very upset, but he was still unwilling to be blocked by the little emperor.
"Haha, you can tell if the Taifu believes or not. If there is no storm coming within two days, the Taifu can recruit all the troops to recover Guangzhou. I will not hold you responsible for the unauthorized dispatch of troops. Can you?" Although Zhao Bing could not hear what the two of them said, he might have seen his expression hesitated, so he threw out an extremely attractive condition.
