At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 33 Faith
Zhao Shi looked down at the familiar faces on the ground, feeling panicked.

The dead man's name was Chen Caogen. He was 16 years old. He once asked the emperor to name him. Zhao promised to name him after he performed meritorious service. Unexpectedly, they were separated from each other.

Zhao Shi squatted down, dipped his fingers in blood, and wrote on Chen Caogen: "Emperor Zhao Shi of the Song Dynasty granted the son of the Chen family the name of bravery."

After I finished writing, I stood up and looked around. They were all familiar faces. People I used to see every day were now stacked together and fragmented.

Officials, soldiers and civilians were searching for the wounded on their own side, and at the same time they were giving wounds to the wounded Yuan soldiers. The bodies of both sides were placed separately, waiting for processing.

Zhao Shi walked under the banner and asked, "How is it?"

Lu Wu grinned and said, "Killing more than thirty thieves is a pleasure!"

Zhao Shi said angrily: "I want to ask how you are feeling!"

There was blood all over his body, whether it was his own or Yuan Bing's, and he couldn't tell whether he was injured or not.

"It's a minor injury, it will take a few days to heal." Lu Wuhun didn't care.

Seeing that he did not look seriously injured, Zhao nodded and walked away.

Arriving in front of personal guard Qiu Gang, Zhao Shi knelt down, held his hand, and said, "I will remember your loyalty and bravery in my heart. I only hope you will recover soon."

Qiu Gang was disemboweled and his intestines were severed, but he struggled to get up and salute.

Zhao Shi held him down and said with tears in his eyes: "Don't move. Wait for the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, and he will recover."

"I...I can't follow Your Majesty..." Qiu Gang took a breath and continued: "Your Majesty has supported me very well. I will repay you now. Don't do it..."

Before he finished speaking, he died of anger.

Zhao Shi wiped away his tears and closed Qiu Gang's eyes.

At the age of 15, his real name was Qiu Yuangang. His family followed Jiang Wanzai to resist the Yuan army, and Fuzhou fell. His father died in the battle, and his mother changed his name to Qiu Gang. Then he went to the water to die in the festival.

At this time, Ms. Cai and her doctor hurried over to help rescue the wounded.

Mrs. Cai walked closer and called out to your majesty, but stopped talking.

Obviously, the little emperor's little daughter-in-law died before she grew up.

Zhao Shi felt uncomfortable because he was a real person. Although he had only known him for a short time, he had known him day and night, and he had died to save himself.

Seeing that Zhao Shi was in a low mood, Cai said: "Huiniang and the soldiers are benevolent and die in a worthy death. Your Majesty, please don't be too sad."

Zhao Shi said: "I know, I just feel that in troubled times, human life is like a piece of grass, and we don't know when we will die unexpectedly. If the country is rich and powerful, why is it like this?"

Cai added: "Your Majesty is fine and the country is well. I just hope that your Majesty will not take any risks in the future."

Zhao Shi said: "How can we be attacked by Yuan Lu for the second time?"

It was stolen once and then stolen a second time. I thought that Wen Tianxiang was the man of civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty.

"Your Majesty." Yang Shichang came over and said, "Your Majesty, please go back and rest. I think today's affairs are complicated. If you don't rest at this time, your energy will definitely be low."

Seeing that there was a hole in his chest, Zhao Shi said: "Brother is injured and should be treated by himself. Why are you still dealing with debris?"

Yang Shichang said nonchalantly: "The armor is strong, the tip of the spear has not penetrated deeply, it is just a flesh wound."

"Don't ignore it. If there is a sore or ulcer, you may be in danger of your life. Get it treated quickly." Zhao Shi paused and then said: "Inform the entire army that all injuries should be diagnosed and treated immediately without delay."

Seeing that the doctors first washed the wounds, then applied medicine and bandages, and even sutured the more serious cases. The process was similar to that of later generations, so Zhao Shi did not interfere and only urged the wounded soldiers to receive treatment voluntarily.

It's just that there are not many doctors, so the wounded can only wait.

Zhao couldn't help but said: "It seems that it is not difficult to treat the injuries. Maybe the army should train some military doctors as backup."

Chen Yizhong, who was following behind, continued: "Your Majesty is wise, this strategy is feasible." Seeing that everyone was in good order, Lu Xiufu sighed: "In the past, there were many disputes over the order of things. Now, the mutual humility is the result of His Majesty's teachings. also."

Wen Tianxiang continued: "Your Majesty worked so hard without caring about his own life. Who doesn't bear this in mind? In the future, all the soldiers will be happy to die. It's not enough to be injured."

Lu Xiufu couldn't help but sigh: "If the late emperor was so energetic, why would the country be like this!"

Regarding the silly emperor, Wen Tianxiang did not make much comment. He only said: "Today, he is comparable to Taizu and even better than Taizu."

In the era of cold weapons, soldiers will be brave, and the emperor's personal visit to the front line can best boost morale. If Zhao Er was not a charioteer at Gaoliang River, but gathered his troops and returned to fight again, perhaps Zhao Laosan would not have been able to fight the battle of Chanyuan in person. It’s a matter of alliance.

The same principle applies to today's battle in Wenzhou. If Zhao escapes and the morale of the whole city is lost, even if the generals can organize some resistance, they will never risk their lives so much, and the city of Wenzhou will inevitably be lost.

What is an emperor?
It is a leader, but also a belief. If the belief is strong, the army and the people are invincible, but if the belief collapses and the people are distracted, the enemy can be bullied.

In short, Zhao did not let down the army and the people, and the soldiers and the people responded with their lives, so Wen Tianxiang gave him such a high evaluation.

At this time, Zhang Shijie had occupied Guazhou and was making final mobilization.

"Before leaving, Your Majesty held hands to see me off. His concern was beyond words. The enemy's force is strong today and we have to fight with all our strength. I, the Privy Council, am the vanguard and all I can do is die."

Chen Yi shouted: "I will die with the Privy Council!"

"Go to death with the Privy Council!" all the soldiers shouted in unison.

Zhang Shijie straightened up his sword and shouted: "Cry thunder, march to the Yangtze Bridge!"

The grenadiers lit three grenades and threw them in the open space at intervals. Boom~boom~boom~three loud noises in succession, like thunder on the ground.

Jiang Cai, who was patrolling the city, heard this, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "Come here, gather all the troops and seize the Yangtze Bridge."

The left and right people immediately went to deliver the order without asking the reason at all.

Jiang Cai was originally from Haozhou. When he was young, he was robbed by the Jin people into Heshuo and became a slave. After a little while, he fled back to Huainan and joined the army. At that time, most of the elite soldiers and generals of the Song army were concentrated on the front line of the Huaihe River, but there was no one stronger than him. He was said to be brave. Champion the entire army.

Jiang Cai knew soldiers well, was good at riding and shooting, was friendly to his soldiers, and could strictly enforce military laws. The most important thing was to be the first to go into battle and to withdraw his troops before stopping the rear, so he was trusted by the soldiers.

After a while, the armies gathered and Li Tingzhi also arrived.

Jiang Cai shouted: "Three thunders just now were the signal for reinforcements from the imperial court. Now we are going to attack Yangtze Bridge to receive the reinforcements. All the troops will fight to the death with me!"

Sun Gui, the general, asked, "Are you sure it's the imperial reinforcements?"

Li Tingzhi said: "The imperial court secretly sent a secret envoy to make an agreement the day before yesterday. For fear of leaking the news, it was kept secret. Now that the imperial court's reinforcements are coming, we should send out troops to kill the prisoners."

In his early years, Li Tingzhi served from Meng Gong and later from Jia Sidao. He held various local and military positions and managed them all. Of course, this is not important. For the people of Yangzhou, Li Tingzhi's favor was too great.

During the Jingding period, Li Tingzhi learned about Yangzhou. At that time, Yangzhou was hit by floods, houses were damaged, and many salt-making pavilion households fled. The salt industry, the main industry, was depressed and the economy collapsed.

Li Tingzhi waived the people's debts and lent them money to repair their houses. In just one year, all the government and civilian houses were repaired, and then he waived the people's loans.

In order to restore the economy, Li Tingzhi organized the construction of a canal forty miles to Jinsha and Yuqing Salt Fields to save transportation costs. At the same time, the salt burden of more than 200 million yuan on pavilion households was relieved. The escaped salt households returned. The benefits of the salt industry flourished rapidly, and Yangzhou's economy was revitalized. .

At the same time, he also overhauled schools and taught the people cultural etiquette. However, when there were floods and droughts, he opened the official treasury to provide relief. If the treasury was insufficient, he used his own private property to supplement it. Therefore, the people of Yangzhou respected him like their parents.

Now that Yangzhou is in extreme embarrassment, the soldiers and civilians still stick to it because they believe in Li Tingzhi.

For Yangzhou soldiers, the emperor is too far away, and Li Tingzhi and Jiang Cai are their faith.

Historically, after Li Tingzhi returned south and led his troops out of the city under the imperial edict, those who stayed behind immediately opened the city and surrendered because their faith had collapsed.

At this time Li Tingzhi and Jiang Cai both said that they would send troops, the army did not hesitate, they immediately rectified their armor, and left the city gate hungry.
