Chapter 615 Five Great War Zones

The scenery is beautiful, Geling has been bathed in the vast twilight, and a few birds have landed on the eaves of Duobao Pavilion. After a few cry, they flapped their wings and flew high again, disappearing into the afterglow of the sunset.

Standing on the third floor of Duobao Pavilion, looking at the distance from the railing, looking at the birds flying high west, the corners of the treacherous minister Jia Sidao's eyes twitched slightly.

Lin'an Imperial City Department reported that King Rong Zhao and Rui left the city to visit Puning Temple by the West Lake this morning. This small Puning Temple is the temporary residence of Jiang Wanli, who came to see the emperor. Zhao and Rui went to meet Jiang Wanli. After seeing Jiang Wanli, he hurried back to Lin'an City and headed straight for the North Nedeshou Palace.

Liao Yingzhong said: "The Grand Tutor...will the Censor be impeached?"

Jia Sidao didn't know how to answer Liao Yingzhong's inquiry. He hesitated for a long time before he could say in a word: "Jiang Guxin is also for the country and the people."

Liao Yingzhong said: "But Taishi, aren't you just dedicated to the country? Jiang Guxin can't just say anything to you directly?"

Jia Sidao shook his head, "I've said it long ago... Jiang Guxin is a gentleman and will not say bad things to me in front of King Rong. What he wants is nothing more than moving to Hongzhou. Only when he arrives in Hongzhou can the Song Dynasty have a glimmer of hope, and it is possible to fight for a long time and drag down Chen Ming."

Liao Yingzhong raised his eyebrows and said, "The Grand Master also agrees with the proposal to move the capital? If so, why not follow the situation..."

"Can't let go."

Jia Sidao said: "I have been in power for several years, and have made no achievements in government. The country's power is declining, but I still have a crush on power and position and are reluctant to leave. I don't know what kind of bad reputation will be left in history in the future?"

Jia Sidao touched most of his white beard and was silent for a moment. He sighed, "I'm afraid that later history books will say that I, Jia Sidao, harmed the country and the people. I have destroyed the country for three hundred years of the Song Dynasty..."

Liao Yingzhong's eyebrows were slightly locked, and her heart was secretly worried. At this point, Jia Sidao was still worried about the name behind him. He really didn't know what to say... What we have to worry about now is not the name behind him, but the wealth and life.

If you take a wrong step, your family will be destroyed!

Jia Sidao sighed: "It is not a solution to just keep the court in Lin'an. If you don't move, Jia will be a sinner of Song De. But if you move..."

Jia Sidao leaned against the railing and shook his head helplessly.

Liao Yingzhong listened carefully to Jia Sidao's words, distinguishing the meaning of it while thinking about countermeasures.

"Tai Shi, if you are relocating, you must not go to Hongzhou! If you go to Hongzhou, you are afraid of your life and worry about your life!"

Jia Sidao hesitated and said, "Jiang Guxin shouldn't be like this..."

Liao Yingzhong said: "The Song Dynasty is like this, and everyone will think it is caused by the traitorous ministers who have caused the country to suffer."

"Treacherous minister?" Jia Sidao smiled bitterly, "That's Mr. Jia..."

"Trial Master!" Liao Yingzhong frowned, "If the Taishi goes to Hongzhou, he will be really a traitor!"

"Don't go to Hongzhou?"

Jia Sidao was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Liao Yingzhong. "Do you want me to stay in Lin'an?"

Liao Yingzhong nodded, "The Grand Tutor should know the allusion of Shen Sheng and Chong'er. If the Grand Tutor goes to Hongzhou, he can bring up to 6,000 brave men, and Jiang Guxin has 80,000 people under his command... When the Chen thieves invade, Liangzhe is in an emergency, the court will definitely pursue the Grand Tutor's fault!"

"My fault?" Jia Sidao sighed, "I have been in power for several years. There are indeed many stupid moves."

Historically, a better evaluation of Jia Sidao is that he has talent but no talent. As a civil servant in charge, he actually performed better than most of the ministers of the Song Dynasty.

Liao Yingzhong pondered: "If the imperial court moves westward, Liangzhe will still have important officials in charge. Moreover, the important officials in Liangzhe must have lords to have military strength. Looking at the Song Dynasty, only Grand Tutor and Li Xiangfu can take on this important task."

Jia Sidao said: "I guard western Zhejiang, Li Xiangfu guard eastern Zhejiang? What should I do if the two Huaihe Rivers are there? Who can guard it?"

The Zhejiang West Road in the Song Dynasty included Lin'an Prefecture, Jiaxing Prefecture, Pingjiang Prefecture, Huzhou, Yanzhou and other places...it seemed to be on the east side? And the Zhejiang East Road included Shaoxing Prefecture, Qingyuan Prefecture, Taizhou, Wenzhou, Wuzhou, Chuzhou and other places, which seemed to be on the west side.

If the court left Lin'an, then Liangzhe Road would definitely arrange an ambassador to appease the ambassador to guard the Liangzhe Road. If Jia Sidao stayed in Lin'an, he would naturally be the general commander of Liangzhe. At the same time, he would also serve as the ambassador to the Liangzhe Regiment, and be sentenced to Lin'an Prefecture and the general commander to the Liangzhe Regiment. In addition, according to the customs of the Song Dynasty, a deputy envoy would also be arranged to guard the eastern Zhejiang. Before the regiment, the dispatch meeting was held by military officials (if the general commander of Liangzhe was a military chief, then the deputy commander was a cultural chief), but now this dispatch was no longer a military general. If he could take on this position, Li Tingzhi was the first choice, and Shi Yanzhi and Zhao Yuzhi could also take on it.

However, for Jia Sidao, arranging his confidant Li Tingzhi to guard Huaidong is definitely the most ideal.

Liao Yingzhong sneered, "If you go out to the Liangzhe River, why should you consider the matter of the Lianghua River? Jiang Guxin, Ma Huafu (Ma Guangzu), and Ye Zhenzhi (Ye Mengding) Who can't guard the Lianghua River? Why must Li Xiangfu be the one?"

He paused for a moment, his tone was sunk, "Taishi, if the court moved there, the battle of survival and death began. Now the territory that our Song Dynasty court can manage is Liangzhe, Liangjiang, Fujian, Guangnandong, Guangnanxi, Jinghunan and Huaidong. If we want to fight against the whole country, the territory under the jurisdiction of the court should be divided into various war zones, each with the commander, and grant full authority, and lasting resistance."

"The war zone? Full power? Lasting?" Jia Sidao pondered in a low voice.

Liao Yingzhong focused on the key points. These days he has been thinking about a way out, the way out of the Song Dynasty, and the way out of Jia Sidao. Now he finally has some idea.

"The two Zhejiangs can set up a war zone, which is governed by one system division; Jiangnan East Road and Huaidong Road have a war zone, which is also governed by one system division; Jiangnan West Road and Jinghu South Road have a war zone, which is also governed by one system division; Guangnan East and Guangnan West Road have a war zone, which is also governed by a single system division, which is a separate system division. In this way, the imperial court has five system divisions, each of which is responsible for one Yuan, which is governed by all regiments, the imperial army and officials from all regions. The Taishi can go out to Liangjiang, Jiangdong, and Huaidong can send Ma Huafu to go. Jiangxi and Hunan can be governed by Jiang Guxin. Pu Dasan (Pu Zezhi) can go to Fujian. Shi Yanzhi or Ye Zhenzhi go to Guangdong and Guangxi..."

Jia Sidao thought for a moment. "If so, the remaining territory of our Song Dynasty would be divided into five parts. Isn't it that the country is divided into five and there is no rule of each other?"

Liao Yingzhong said lightly: "The five major command departments can arrange five officials with heavy troops. With their support, you can firmly sit in the position of commander of the Liangzhe Zhejiang. As for the future... if you do not set up the five major commanders, the Grand Tutor thinks that the court can remotely command the 300,000 regiments to train the army?"

Jia Sidao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "After the 300,000 regiment training army was launched, the Song Dynasty court was the bearish court. This is Jia's fault..."

"Why is it a short court?" Liao Yingzhong shook his head, "If there were no 300,000 regiments to train, how could there be any available soldiers in the Song Dynasty? Chen Ming has not occupied Lin'an yet, so it is all the contributions to the 300,000 regiments to train!"

Jia Sidao was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "This is also..."

Indeed, the national defense power of the Southern Song Dynasty seems to be much stronger than when China was in history. When Mongolia went east in history, the Southern Song Dynasty court could not provide 300,000 armed forces, well-trained, and closely organized troops to train... Although under the edict of the king, the literati and officials loyal to the court in various places also organized an army of hundreds of thousands, but they were all a hasty mob.

The current regiment training took two or three years and invested countless wealth. With the help of professional officers of the Song army, it was established with the help of the former Song army professional officers and social relations based on the literati clan, village party, classmates and other social relations. It also participated in several low-intensity wars and had a certain degree of practical experience.

It can be said very responsibly that they are already an elite army with combat effectiveness that is comparable to the original frontiers of the Song Dynasty.

Jia Sidao pondered for a long time, then raised his head and said with a solemn look: "Qunyu, go and write a memorial for me. Tomorrow, I will ask the court to move to Hongzhou and set up five major command departments... I will also ask myself to guard Liangzhe Road and swear to fight the Chen thief to the end!"

...

"I'm going to be the emperor soon, and I don't seem to be so excited that I say..."

Chen Dexing sat on a newly created throne with some boredom, looking a little bored.

These days, loyal and treacherous ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty were busy saving the country, and merchants of the Song and Ming dynasties were busy smuggling, and there were two major events in the Ming Dynasty. The first was to be the great title of sages. The way to consolidate the local Chen Ming was feudal and aristocratic democracy. First, the nobles were appointed to suppress the local area, and then sold a group of gentry out. Then, these two forces and the bureaucrats sent by the central government organized the local government and recruited small officials through the examination...

The second major event was to make rituals. Before, it was to seek the opinions of the princes, but now it was to seek the opinions of the lords, gentry and civilians. At the same time, "Chen Li" has been revised several times, and the official name has been decided, which is "Chen Li". However, everyone still habitually calls it "Chen Li".

All day today, Chen Dexing was listening to various opinions on revising the "Chen Li" in the newly repaired Zhaoming Palace Hall. Even though he didn't want to make any revisions to the already perfect "Chen Li", he had to listen patiently.

Most of the people who came to give their opinions were Confucian scholars from the North, and their content was naturally inseparable from respecting Confucius and respecting Confucianism. Of course, the ladder to ascend to heaven was too attractive, and it was completely gone, so some people would naturally be unwilling to accept it.

However, the Northern Rus have been bullied by the Mongols for decades. It is already a pity to come to Chen Dexing to give an opinion. If they dare not do anything, they actually have no strength to resist Chen Ming. Most of them can only take the exam for Chen Ming’s minor official and start slowly from the bottom. If they really have the ability, there is still a way to ascend. But they can’t give a parent official in a county just by step.

But the news from the south was a bit bad. Those literati and officials from the Southern Dynasty are now rich, soldiers and territory, and are still struggling hard! (To be continued...)
