As a senior officer, Lu Yongyan is an expert in military affairs.

After years of contact with the army to train the army, he naturally knew how much effort it took to train this beautiful military formation.

So when he heard that some civil servants actually thought that this was the result of the Ming army's assault training, and the purpose was to shock Lin'an City to strengthen its military power, he couldn't stand it.

Is this the result of surprise training?

So he tried to Shen Gai to the layman who was not very familiar with military affairs, and Zhou Linzhi and Zhang Shi explained the mystery of this.

"This pace queue looks beautiful and seems to be quite easy to train, but it is extremely difficult to train. It is already difficult to make everyone listen to the slogans and act according to the orders.

Not to mention that you have to take such a uniform pace. This is not a matter of three or five days of practice, or even two or three months of training every day. This is necessarily a skill that has been practiced over the years.

I dare not say anything else. If this team of soldiers is placed in the Song army, they will definitely be one of the best power brigades. I just don’t know what level of elite troops such an army are in the Ming Dynasty.”

Zhou Linzhi was quite disdainful of this.

"It's so difficult to walk in a more neat team? What's the important thing about this? Isn't the most important thing about the army? What can I do if I walk in a queue beautifully? It's just a scheming, it's broken with just one poke!"

What the great layman Zhou Linzhi said immediately made Lu Yongyan laugh and cry.

"Zhou Xianggong didn't know that on the actual battlefield, a uniform queue represents combat effectiveness. Performing prohibitions according to slogans and orders is combat effectiveness. Even their queues can go so neatly and can execute orders according to slogans without leaking. Then on the battlefield, their military formation will be unbreakable."

Lu Yongyan sighed: "What the military formation needs is to be uniform, what the order is to be enforced, what the matter needs is to be carved out of a mold like this. If you go to the battlefield like this, it will be an iron army. No wonder the Ming army is so good at fighting..."

Chen Gai was silent, Zhang Shi's eyes were full of colors, while Zhou Linzhi was full of dissatisfaction.

"Can the Ming Dynasty be trained, but the Song Dynasty cannot be trained? I don't believe that as long as an army has enough military expenditure, can't it be trained like this? The people of the Ming Dynasty are all heavenly soldiers and generals!"

"It's ok, but it's too difficult."

Lu Yongyan gave a more reliable analysis from a professional perspective: "First, it takes at least half a year... No, it is best to have nine months, or ten months. It also requires sufficient military expenditure, and enough food needs to be supplemented. You cannot be hungry, and then..."

"Stop talking, just do that."

Chen Qiao interrupted Lu Yongyan's speech and sighed: "These are nothing more important. Let's think about what to do in the future, let's not talk about military training, etc.... Have you taken the official medicine?"

Chen should look at Zhou Linzhi.

Zhou Linzhi's face stagnated, and then the expression on his face turned into a strong sense of helplessness.

"I've eaten it, the same portion and the same number of times. The Imperial Doctor also said that it would be fine for a few days or more than ten days. If the times are too many and the time is too long, the human limbs will be really ruined."

Chenjiu's eyes moved.

"That's it, we have no way out."

Zhou Linzhi lowered his head and reluctantly admitted that everything Chen Gai said was right.

They really have no way out. They can only walk one way to the dark and see if it is a village after the darkness, or a village with darkness or a dead end.

On the evening of September 24, the fifth year of Hongwu, Su Yonglin received a war report from Zhang Yuejing in Zhongdu.

After seeing it, I was very happy first, and then I looked at the war report for a long time, and then announced the convening of the central meeting to make the matter public.

When the Central Decision-making level participating in the meeting was very happy and cheered and celebrated each other when they learned that the Southern Song Dynasty had given up resistance and voluntarily surrendered and announced that they would accept all the requests made by Ming.

Then Su Yonglin announced the news of the coup in the Southern Song Dynasty. The coupers handed over most of the royal family of the Southern Song Dynasty, including Emperor Zhao Sheng, and handed over to the Ming army.

When the officials at the meeting were surprised to learn about this news.

Gu Pain

"What happened?"

Xin Qiji was shocked: "The Southern Song Dynasty has always been a charlatan of orthodoxy and a charlatan of justice, but now such a coup has occurred?"

“It’s really surprising.”

Kong Maojie sneered: "But I don't think it's strange if I think about it carefully. Anyway, this is what they always say and do. They talk about the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and they are all plotting in private. But it is really incredible to deal with the emperor in order to survive."

"It's not that incredible. This was originally one of the many possibilities I had imagined, but I didn't expect them to do it so well."

Su Yonglin shook the battle report in his hand: "In addition to the new emperor, Zhao Sheng's third son Zhao Dun, his family, and the Supreme Empress Wu, the entire royal family in the Southern Song court was caught and handed over to us. This made me think of the Kaifeng city back then, and it looked like it, it really looked like it."

"It's true, it was the same back then, and now it is."

Xin Qiji sneered: "I can only say that so many years have passed, and those group of people have not changed at all, and have not made any progress at all."

"What's even more interesting is that they even sent out the Kaifeng royal family that we rescued and sent back to the past... I spent the boss's effort to save them. Have they returned it to me now?"

Su Yonglin smiled helplessly and said seriously: "Since the battle is over, they have shown sincerity. Then, what we should do next is also obvious. Take this opportunity to let them agree to more conditions and lock them up directly."

At the following meeting, Su Yonglin mobilized everyone to brainstorm and finally summarized some existences that could be used as additional terms, so that the Southern Song Dynasty would accept them all and do it all in one breath, so that they would not have the confidence to jump around later.

The first thing is to cede the land again. This time, the two prefectures of Zhenjiang and Jiankang will be ceded. This will lock down the possibility of the Southern Song Dynasty rebuilding the Yangtze River defense line. It is unnecessary for the Ming army to cross the river again.

Then there is the garrison.

In order to further intimidate the Southern Song Dynasty to carry out various tasks well and prepare for the actual destruction of the Song Dynasty in the future, Su Yonglin decided to set up some garrison sites in the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The stationed horse and infantry army seemed to pay too much attention to deterrence, so Su Yonglin was more interested in stationing naval troops in the port to deterrence.

For example, the Ming Army Navy was garrisoned openly in the port near Suzhou Ocean, and the navy stationed in Fujian and Guangzhou areas demonstrated the military existence of the Ming Kingdom, etc. This should be a very meaningful thing.

When she thought about this, Su Yonglin suddenly thought of something more important.

Su Yonglin decided to demand that the Southern Song Dynasty ced the two states, Quanzhou and Guangzhou.

"Zhenjiang Prefecture and Jiankang Prefecture are related to the army's going south. Quanzhou and Guangzhou are so far away from the Ming Dynasty, what's the necessity?"

Kong Maojie, who didn't know much about economic affairs, raised doubts: "Is it important for us to be on Fujian Road and the other in Lingnan? It's so far away that it can only be controlled by the navy, which is equivalent to an enclave, which is very unsafe."

Kong Maojie's words made Lin Jingchun, who was sitting aside, very dissatisfied.

"What is important to call it? That is very important! Do you know how long it has been for me to be jealous of these two large ports?!"

Kong Maojie was very depressed about the sudden confrontation by Lin Jingchun.

"Old Lin, why are you angry at me? I haven't asked you for money recently."

"It's not that you get angry at you, it's that you're very dissatisfied with your speech!"

Lin Jingchun said seriously: "Do you know how much tax revenue can be provided to the Southern Song Dynasty every year, Quanzhou and Guangzhou? More than two million guan! Two ports can have more than two million guan!

Do you know what more than 2 million guan can do? Don’t you see that the current fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty is very large, but this money is basically impossible to keep. If you have a surplus every year, you have to burn incense. Now you have to spend two million guan more, what a great thing!”

Kong Maojie was a little surprised.

“So many.”

"Otherwise? Why do you think I am staring at the two ports? Over the years, the chairman has been saying that we should increase revenue and reduce expenditure. We have achieved the ultimate in savings. How should we start to increase revenue? It's nothing more than doing business and doing business, but the world's commerce is basically in the Southern Song Dynasty. Do you know that the Ming Dynasty can't compete with the Southern Song Dynasty?"

Lin Jingchun frowned and knocked on the table and said, "It's so important to take down these two states. We must do something to grab the trade of the Southern Song Dynasty!"
