Chapter 444 Untitled
"Does Your Majesty want to fight in Hunan?"
Zhao Pu asked directly.
"No, I don't want to fight in Hunan!" Zhao Kuangyin smiled slightly, his black face shining, and said contemptuously: "Although the pseudo-country is unstoppable, it is nothing more than Nanping and Hunan is weak. The people in the two places are less than half of the Jiangnan area, and it is useless to seize it! There is no money or food!"
"It's just a good place, just go down the river and go straight to Jinling!"
"What's more, our soldiers in the Central Plains are not good at water warfare, they are not rich in ships, and they are not familiar with the customs of the south. If they seize Jiangling and Hunan, they will not be able to defend them sooner or later. Why bother to come?"
When Zhao Pu heard this, his heart moved instantly, and a smile appeared on his face. He followed him two steps and said calmly: "Your Majesty is really clear about Wanli, I admire you!"
"Hahaha!" Zhao Kuangyin laughed and pointed at Zhao Pu and said, "Zezhi, it's really rare to praise you. We feel much more comfortable!"
"But if what I expected was right, you didn't want me to fight Jiangling!"
"Your Majesty said it is right. What I think is exactly the same as what Your Majesty thinks!" Zhao Pu said confidently and contemptuously: "The Southern Army is weak (the Qi family army has something to say). No matter how much you see or how powerful you are, how can you defeat the Central Plains!"
"In addition, the southern literati are vulgar, with vast land and sparse population, and poor land, which is not as good as the Central Plains."
"Our Song Dynasty was established at the beginning and it was the key to stabilize itself. Now that the country is destroyed, if we want to fight the country again, our country must be carefully considered!"
"Bashu?" Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile.
"Yes, it's Bashu!" Zhao Pu smiled faintly and said warmly: "The miasma in Hunan is remote in Lingnan, and her husband died young. How can he get the resources of the emperor?"
"Meng's family has been governing Shu for decades, with abundant resources and millions of household registration. I heard that his treasury has been full of many years, and it is full of rats. According to my ministers' opinions, the country of Shu can reach the entire south of the Yangtze River!"
"With the wealth of Shu, it can fill the national treasury, so as to go down the river, sweep the south, and unify the world!"
"You and I have the same views!" Zhao Kuangyin said with a big belly, "The court is full of troops, but the treasury is poor. If you have the wealth of Shu, you will definitely be able to unify the world quickly! So, next year, the first zhang will be the first to be in Shu and eat from the enemy. I heard that the Shu master's toilet bucket is inlaid with jewelry. I wonder if it is true or false?"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhao Pu said excitedly: "The Lord of Shu is extremely luxurious, and it is the voice of the destruction of the country. Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty. This is God's will in Song Dynasty, and he will definitely be able to decide Shu in one battle."
"God's will? God's will!" Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help laughing at the clear sky and the huge sun.
It is better for scholars to know God's will. Those martial artists are arrogant and domineering, only knowing how to bully the weak and fear the strong. Wang Zhi, a strong soldier, is such a terrible sentence. It completely breaks the tradition and is not desirable, absolutely not desirable.
After taking over Shu, I will complete the great task of unifying the world within ten years. Guo Rong, my lifelong goal will be achieved.
Thinking of Guo Rong, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly felt guilty. He remembered Guo Rong's sons, especially the later lord Guo Zongxun, who was young, but extremely terrifying.
It doesn't work now, it's easy to backfire if you act too quickly. Let's talk about it after a while...
…………
The imperial guards stationed outside Guangzhou City. They are usually locked in the military camp unless they are on holidays and are trained carefully and must not be stopped.
Two or three thousand imperial guards were divided into three large camps, among which the left and right giant elephants formed a battalion, hundreds of elephants with huge bodies, which really needed a larger place.
The emperor actually always wanted to abolish the Giant Elephant Army. This thing is a strong man on the outside but the middle. Only those barbarians who do not read history books can work. Just read a little, they can break these giants and look really useless.
However, these hundreds of elephants cannot be abandoned easily! If you enter the mountains and forests, you don’t know how many farmlands and villages will be destroyed or how many deaths will be.
So, just keep it here, it’s good to scare those barbarians.
In fact, Li Jia also wanted to let these elephants be used as baggage troops to transport goods. Although this giant eats a lot, it also brings a lot. Even if you eat three luck and one luck, it will not be a loss.
Moreover, in the south, such a behemoth is very suitable for paving mountains and paving roads, and thorny bushes, which is too simple for elephants.
It's a long way to go. Anyway, since Li Jia moved the capital to Changsha this time, these elephants were baggage soldiers to transport goods.
The other imperial guards were divided into two military camps, each outside the east and west gates of Guangzhou City. It was only three miles away from Guangzhou City. Guangzhou Guards were still screening.
"Bah, I want to go to Changsha, so I have more than three hundred yuan!"
Outside the canteen of the military camp, smoke from cooking has risen, and most of the food has been prepared. Eating is the most important thing in the military camp and there is no need to urge it.
A big and thick soldier, holding his big pottery bowl, shouted: "If you go to the city, you can find the handsomeest lady and fight for his mother for 300 rounds! How happy!"
"Hey, I don't want to go to Changsha. It's the north, and even the northerners have no brains!" His companion shook his head and said.
"You boy, will you take a beating?"
"Bah, I'll kill you!"
Among the imperial guards, there are very few pure Lingnan people, and most of them are screened out just by asking for it. Therefore, the ancestral home is in the north and I think there are many imperial guards of the northern people.
"Huh?" At this time, a gendarmerie with yellow silk passed by, and the scene instantly became quiet.
"I went north to Changsha, but I had to go to war. I fought with the Central Plains and other countries. I could not stay in Lingnan. Although I didn't have much money, I was safe!" my companion said in a low voice.
"We don't care about that Ansheng. We just want money and women. It's better to fight if there is a war. If there is a reward or land, it's better to become a lord!" The big man said in a urn, patting his chest, his eyes full of expectations.
The other bachelors also nodded repeatedly, and their desire for military achievements overcame their expectations for a stable life. They were still comfortable with copper coins and military achievements.
"Next--" As he spoke, the shouts of a chef came from the front.
"Why is it so fragrant!" the big man sniffed his nose and asked loudly.
"Yes, it's very fragrant. If the dishes are still these, they will be even more fragrant!" The others also nodded, full of doubts.
"Hey, you are blessed!" The chef was not afraid of these imperial guards. He was from the baggage camp and part of the imperial guards. He said, "Although these dishes are still the same, they are fried with soybean oil. They are very fragrant and delicious!"
"Try it for me!" The big man stretched out his basin-sized ceramic over.
"Okay, add some more rice, add some more!" After adding more than ten spoons of rice, the man nodded satisfiedly and said, "These rice have just been filled with me!"
Holding the pottery jar, the man ate happily.
