Chapter 1645 1321. Fan the flames
After a while, he narrowed his eyes slightly, "Since you want to fight, why bother to hide it anymore... You fanned the wind, then I'll just light a fire for you..."
After saying that, Zhao Dongting started writing on the paper again.
There are a large number of defenders in Chengdu Prefecture, Jiading Prefecture, Chongqing Prefecture and other cities in Shuzhong. Now it is time to use these defenders.
Although the defenders of the cities in the Song Dynasty were not as elite as those of the imperial guards, they were by no means uncombat.
Just gather together to defend the troops, there is no need to be afraid of what the 50,000 Tubo soldiers can do.
In addition, the Dali Military Region, the Song Dynasty, Bagan, Tianzhu and other countries had no long-cherished wishes, so it was unlikely that the Yuan Dynasty could invite these countries to attack the Song Dynasty.
The Dali Military Region should be safe and worry-free.
In this way, it would be better to let Liu Zhuwen lead his soldiers to attack Tubo. Since he wanted to fight, Zhao Dongting was not just trying to protect Zhongxing Prefecture.
There will be a great war between the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty sooner or later. Now the Yuan Dynasty has firearms and has exposed its minions to the Song Dynasty. It is better to directly determine the outcome.
There are only Zhennan Military Region and Xingguo Military Region, and Zhao Dongting does not plan to mobilize it for the time being.
Not to mention how much effort it would take to go around the coastline to the Yuan Dynasty with the two major military regions and how much food and grass would be needed, just with the two major military regions, it may not be possible to defeat the Yuan Dynasty now.
"Print an order!"
After a while, Zhao Dongting suddenly shouted to Li Goudan: "The Marshal of Dali Military Region, Liu Zhuwen, led Tiangui, Tianxian, and Tianjian Four Army to attack Tubo! Zhang Guangbao, deputy commander of Shuzhong Military Region, led all the imperial soldiers of Shuzhong Military Region to help Zhongxing Prefecture. The defenders of each city drew half of the troops to Chengdu Prefecture and along Yazhou. If Tubo troops arrive and take the initiative to attack, they must be wiped out. The four military regions of Zhennan, Jiankang, Xingguo and Xianglong are diligent in training and are ready to actively respond to the battle! Please wait for my mobilization at any time."
Li Goudan was busy holding a pen next to her and writing quickly.
His handwriting is quite beautiful and fast. It is no slower than Zhao Dongting's oral statement.
Soon, several decrees were presented on paper.
After seeing this, Zhao Dongting called in from outside and asked him to send him to the Ministry of State. He also told him to let the Ministry of State to communicate to the major military regions as quickly as possible.
Then he said to Li Goudan: "Go and general the State Order, Deputy Military Order and Minister of War Xuan."
Li Goudan hurriedly ran out of the imperial study room.
He just drafted the imperial edict, and even though he was not old, he knew that something big was going to happen.
Such a major event may involve the entire Song Dynasty.
Even, it determines the ownership of the Central Plains.
After a while, Lu Xiufu, Su Liuyi and Zhong Jian, who was temporarily appointed as the Minister of War, rushed to the Imperial Study Room.
Judging from their expressions, they were obviously already outside the Imperial Study room and heard Li Goudan tell me what happened just now.
As soon as he entered the house to pay a tribute, Lu Xiufu asked, "Is this yourselves going to go to war with the Yuan Dynasty?"
Zhao Dongting snorted softly: "They used arms to support Daxia, and also wanted the Tubo soldiers to suppress our borders on the Song Dynasty. Their intention was already very obvious. If the Western Xia was destroyed, our Song Dynasty would inevitably suffer from the dilemma of enemies on all sides again. How can I let them do what they want? Since he plans to do everything step by step, then we must advance as a retreat and disrupt their deployment."
Lu Xiufu, Su Liuyi and Zhong Jian nodded slightly when they heard this.
They all admire Zhao Dongting's military insights from the bottom of their hearts. After all, the Song Dynasty is now under the wise guidance of the emperor.
Although the emperor is not very old and is not very good at commanding the army, he has never lacked it in terms of overall situation.
Then Lu Xiufu said again: "Then the emperor announced that I would wait, so I should ask me to prepare food and grass?"
"Um!"
Zhao Dongting nodded and said, "The three armies must move, and food and grass should be the first. The Ministry of State and the Ministry of War, the military and mechanical affairs must unite closely and transport the food to the major military regions as quickly as possible, so as to be prepared for any accidents. In addition, the cities will gather all the food and grass that need to be necessary to meet the needs of the times. In addition, all regions will purchase excess food from the people."
"yes."
Lu Xiufu, Su Liuyi and Zhong Jian all bowed to accept the order.
The Yuan Dynasty has always been very profound, and it is necessary to compete for hegemony with the Yuan Dynasty. Even if it is to gather food and grass in the country, it may not be complete.
After all, the time for rest and recuperation in the Song Dynasty was still too short. The domestic reserves were also limited.
This is due to Zhao Dongting reforming agriculture and promoting new crops. Otherwise, at this time, there were still many people in the Song Dynasty who could not eat, so there would be no remaining food.
Unless it is a war to support the war, no country in this era could last for ten years of conquest and fill the people's stomachs. Except for the Song Dynasty.
Later, Zhao Dongting asked Su Liuyi and Zhong Jian to jointly draft the order for the garrisons of various cities in the Shuzhong Military Region.
