Chapter 758 Find a place to live
It has been half a month since Lin'an City was recaptured. Now all the officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been in place and have established local governments from all over the world. Zhao Bing knew that the court had left Jiangnan for ten years. Although it was not too long, it was not short. The Mongols scattered here had already gained a foothold. The War of Resistance Against Japan lasted only eight years, but the traitors and puppet troops were 100,000, and he probably wouldn't be too few at the moment. Therefore, whether in a stable situation or maintaining his own rule, these people must be suppressed and eliminated.
Therefore, Zhao Bing issued several edicts, and for Mongolian officials and their lackeys, they must eliminate evil and clean up. He called on the people to report those who rebel against the Song Dynasty, and to implement a policy of eliminating the main evil and eliminating them. He quickly divided the hostile forces and once they were verified, they could be executed. Chinese officials have always had a skill, that is, they would complete tasks beyond the limit and exceed the standards to show their political achievements. What's more, the officials who remained in the dynasty were mostly nationalists with a deep hatred of the Mongolian Yuan. Even if they were not "brainwashed" in Qiongzhou, they were very determined to implement the edict.
In just a few days, there were tens of thousands of Mongolian Yuan officials arrested and executed in newspapers everywhere, and there were tens of thousands of traitors who rebeled from the Song Dynasty. Zhao Bing knew that he could not be ruthless at this time. He could only let the whole people participate and let everyone get blood. In this way, the grassroots people follow him as soon as possible, prevent the Tartars from counterattacking and defend himself just gaining benefits from the "new regime".
Therefore, Zhao Bing did not stop this "indiscriminate killing", but instead rewarded it. At the same time, he asked officials from all over the country to actively implement the "Shaoxing proposal", reduce unreasonable taxes, and divide the confiscated land with the people without land; he took the opportunity to publicize the laws and policies of the dynasty, and chose local patriotic gentry as grassroots officials. This indulgence caused the rebellion to be launched in full swing. As for whether there were a few unjust dead people, he could only temporarily let it go.
However, Zhao Bing also knew that this policy was too extreme, but it was necessary to do extraordinary things at extraordinary times. He now needed to stabilize the rear as soon as possible, and also needed a large amount of financial income to support huge war expenses and reconstruction costs. Naturally, this policy of robbing the rich and helping the poor is the most effective and fast method. It can not only solve urgent problems, but also relieve hatred and vent its anger. But he also closely watched the development of this matter to prevent further expansion of the anti-counterfeiting, causing shocks in the current situation and panic among the people.
On the other hand, the recovery of important towns along the south bank of the Yangtze River is still in progress, but the army has suffered from insufficient material supply and weak attack due to continuous combat. Now Jiang Jin has recovered Songzi, confronting the army of the Yuan army in Jiangbei Province in Henan Province outside Jiangling City, and continue to replenish materials and naval reinforcements to cut off the enemy's path to increase troops, so as not to be attacked from both sides.
Zhao Mengjin continued to attack the river all the way, and had already taken Fancheng, Tongling, Chizhou, and Dongliu, trying to attack Jiangzhou with the Huaide army led by Wang Daofu and Mananbao. The attack speed was so fast, and he had to thank Kublai Khan. In order to prevent the southerners from chasing the city, he ordered the city to be destroyed. The walls of the important towns along the river were demolished. But they did not expect that the retribution would come quickly. Losing the city walls created a good opportunity for the Song army's counterattack, and quickly collapsed under the attack between water and land. However, they were left everywhere to defend, and now they were short of troops and ammunition, so it was difficult to fight again.
According to the current situation of the various departments, Zhao Bing discussed with Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie and decided to let them go to rest on the spot. At the same time, Dong Yicheng's troops, three land combat brigades and an artillery brigade, which had been rested and supplemented, carried baggage, ammunition and cotton coats from Taihu Lake to Wuhu and reinforced the two battlefields along the river and along the river. He also supplemented the large number of armor and weapons seized in the battle between Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Huai'en, Weisheng and Huaide's army to enhance their strength and strive to end the battle before the end of the year...
Most people in the court saw the victory of the Song army. They recovered most of the Jiangnan in two months, but did not find any hidden worries. However, Ying Jieyan was not there, Gao Yingsong, Ma Tingluan and others had their own responsibilities. Zhao Bing wanted to discuss things in private and couldn't find anyone. Even the Military Affairs Office was also supported by Zhuang Boss. Lin Zhiwu and Jiang Zongjie, who were in charge of the imperial court, each had their own positions and were very busy. He asked Chen Dun to take charge of the one room, Chen Shishi managed the four rooms, and Zhuang Laowu coordinated the senatorial room. Now he was carefully hanged in it, and finally there was no collapse in the pot and the stove was over. There was someone to deal with everything.
Now the Empress Dowager sent all the eunuchs from the East Palace of Qiongzhou, and Chen Shu and Li Sanniang lived here, which made Zhao Bing's temporary palace crowded, and he felt that he would touch people if he fell off his butt. But he also knew that it was not impossible for him to change the place, but he was just too troublesome to move around. But living here was really inconvenient, especially the court officials who had already entered the city had to leave the city early in the morning to attend the regular meeting and then go back to deal with government affairs. If there were any emergency, they had to come to see each other from afar. It was really inefficient.
All things were inconvenient, which made Zhao Bing want to enter the city as soon as possible. He also hinted to several court officials, but Lu Xiufu felt that the city had just been recovered, the hidden enemies had not been cleared yet, the city defenses were still needed, and the imperial city was abandoned and could not settle in, and it still needed large-scale repairs. The subtext is that Emperor, please feel wronged for a few days first, and then enter the city when everything is ready. But he is not a peace-keeping man. He took advantage of his leisure today and sneaked out and headed straight for Lin'an City, intending to conduct an on-site investigation and find a new nest for himself.
Since it was a private visit, Zhao Bing could not enter the city with great fanfare. Although the whole world knew that he was in Lin'an and the city entrance ceremony was not really the same as the court. He ordered Chen Dun to lit up the guards of the capital, and Fa Zheng and Fa Qiao also led eight inner guards to mix among the entourage. He also changed his military uniform and rode into the city in the name of escorting officials into the city. Considering that none of these people had been in the capital, he also called Zhou Mi and Zheng Huchen to accompany him.
The group protected Zhao Bing and rode a horse to Taohua Pass to enter the city from the place where the southern city attacked the city. The place had been repaired and a city gate was built in the explosion gap. However, the plaque had not been written yet. The place was taken over by the guards. After checking the waist sign, they were put into the city. Zhao Bing mixed in it without attracting attention and successfully entered Luocheng.
"Your Majesty, in front of you is the Imperial Horse Court, on the west side are the Temple Front Office and the Small School Field; further to the west are the Duzu Court, the Military Equipment Depot, the Wine Depot and the Pharmaceutical Bureau, and the Shengguo Temple; further to the west are the southern foot of Phoenix Mountain, with the Colonel Field, the Lieutenant Colonel Field and some pavilions on the mountain." Zhou Mi introduced.
"The preserved there is still good, it seems that it has not been too hot, right?" Zhao Bing looked in the direction of his finger and found that except for the collapse of the Imperial Horse Courtyard, the buildings on the west side were basically intact, so he asked with his face turned around.
"Your Majesty said it is right. It has not been too much, and it has been preserved. However, it has been abandoned for many years." Zhou Mi sighed.
Zhao Bing looked at it again and nodded and turned east to continue moving forward. The front was Dengwen Drum Court and Dengwen Procuratorate, which are the places where the people complained about the emperor. If there is any injustice, there is no place to declare, you can come here to beat the drum and complain, which is equivalent to the reception desk of the modern State Bureau of Letters and Calls. In front, there is a waiting pavilion, a rest place for the ministers waiting to attend court. It is just two rows of houses. This is a must-set place for the imperial palace, but even if it has been burned down by fire, it is more powerful than Qiongzhou. Then move forward is the main gate of the palace.
"Your Majesty, this is Lizheng Gate. The east, west que Tower and city tower were built on the city siege, but it has been burned down." Zhou Mi said sadly, "I didn't expect that this palace gate is still there. Before, there were three gates, each of which was covered with gold nails and red houses, painted buildings, carved with copper tiles, engraved with dragons and phoenixes flying like flying, majestic and magnificent, shining with eyes. There is also an imperial tower built on the gate, with red branches on both sides of the gate, and guarding the imperial guards. Now, alas!"
"What a pity!" Zhao Bing stepped forward and looked at it. There were mottled red paint on it and there were traces of excessive fire. There were only a few door nails on it. I don't know who took away the rest. It was a lot of money to repair these few doors. He smacked his lips.
"Dropping off the horse!" It is strictly forbidden to ride a sedan chair in the imperial city, unless it is given by the emperor. Although it has become a ruin, it cannot be ignored. Chen Dun ordered.
"Go in and take a look!" Zhao Bing also jumped off the horse and pointed at it.
"Yes, open the door!" Chen Dun ordered two guards to go forward and push the door, and then sent a group of people to wait for the war horses to the north gate.
The two guards stepped forward and pushed open the door with difficulty. It might have been for many years, and no one had oiled the door shaft, making a harsh creaking sound. The door was wide open, and the front was Nangong Gate, and inside was the big inside. Chen Dun sent someone to search in front. After nothing happened, Chen Dun protected the little emperor forward, and after passing through the two palace gates, he was considered to be at the right place.
Before Zhao Bing passed the palace gate, it should be the Wende Hall, commonly known as the Golden Palace. In the memories of the ministers, it should be solemn and magnificent. It is the tallest building in the Forbidden City. The hall is about ten feet high, and on the middle of it is about six to seven feet high, there is a golden lacquer carved dragon throne, with coiled dragon pillars on both sides. The ceiling in the middle of the roof is engraved with a golden dragon caisson, and a ball of Xuanyuan mirror hanging down. The entire decoration shows the supreme authority of the feudal emperors and is the place where the emperor's "outside court" held a major ceremony. But now there is only a two feet tall temple building with white marble foundation.
The group climbed up the stairs and Zhao Bing found that the foundation of the hall had been reorganized, and a wall of 100 feet high was built on it. He looked north again. It should be the Chuigong Hall, which was where the emperor "inner court" met with ministers to discuss national affairs on a daily basis. Behind the Chuigong Hall are the inner court where the emperor, concubines, and the prince live, and there are palaces where the emperor sleeps, eats, and other palaces. But now there are only pedestals left, and the buildings have also been rebuilt, but the progress is different. Some have already taken shape, and some are still half-finished projects, but all have stopped working.
"I'll demolish all the here!" Zhao Bing suddenly remembered that this should be where Yang Lianzhenjia wanted to build a temple to suppress the dragon veins of the Song Dynasty, but he was killed by himself and Kublai Khan died, which became an unfinished project. He pointed to the building on the base and said to Chen Dun.
"Yes!" Chen Dun stood attentively and saluted.
After leaving the previous dynasty and entering the inner court, Wang De was familiar with him here. He lived here for many years, and he could still tell the allusions of various temples based on his memory, and even found the place where the little emperor was born and lived in a ruin. Zhao Bing could only sigh a few words after reading it. Although the ground buildings were burned, the general outline could be seen. It was just a very small courtyard. It can be seen that his nominal biological mother has a low status, but who would have thought that a son born to a palace maid who was looked down upon would become the emperor today.
After walking around, Zhao Bing felt a little worried. This was a disaster site. After more than ten years of wind and rain, the entire building had basically been occupied by weeds and shrubs. There was basically no sign of excessive fire, and it became a paradise for foxes, rats, snakes and insects. The lakes and ponds in the back garden were already smelly, and there were only pillars, railings, and rockery. The pavilions and towers were filled with green vines. Where could I see the prosperity and dignity of the past? He thought it was quite appropriate to shoot ghost movies here, and it could basically be used without modification.
However, Zhao Bing gave up after seeing it. If it was not for major renovation, it would be unsuitable for humans to live in. It is said that there are still some remaining halls on the mountain, but Zhao Bing has no intention of going there again. He can't live on the mountain. Every day, a group of old ministers climbed the mountain to meet the saints and discuss matters. He was worried that these old men would have to set off in the middle of the night, otherwise they would not be able to catch up with the morning court.
After leaving the north gate of the imperial city and Ningmen, Zhao Bing breathed out, and finally saw some prosperity here. They walked along the Imperial Street. Patrol soldiers saw them coming out of the imperial city and questioned them. But the signs of the guard camp were lit up who would check one by one. They were both guards, so they were all family members. Not long after, he found that the three provinces and six ministries near the city gate were burned down by the fire, and the other ministries were well preserved. Now the three provinces and six ministries were working, and the Privy Council temporarily lived in the five prefectures.
"Mr. Zhou, is there any larger place in the city available?" Some yamen in the past were occupied by the Yuan court and were perfectly preserved. They could be used by tidying up, but they didn't have their own place to live. Zhao Bing frowned and asked Zhou Mi.
"Your Majesty, there is a pure place, not far from here!" Zhou Mi thought for a while and said.
"Is what Mr. Zhou said? "Was Wang De's eyes lit up when he heard this and he asked hurriedly.
"The high-ranking official guessed and it was exactly here!" Zhou Miyan said.
"Ninei? What does it mean!" Zhao Bing couldn't understand, frowned and looked at the two of them.
"Your Majesty, that's the case..." Wang De quickly explained after hearing this.
