    Bai Yijie stretched out his head to watch together, and asked: "What is the strategy of moving the Jin Dynasty to strengthen the border?" "That was before I arrived in Jinghu." Zheng Yunming sighed: "I was very naive politically at that time.  While His Majesty and his father were having a banquet at home, he proposed to transfer some residents, officials and property of Chengdu to the southwest as the second capital on Sichuan Road. This proposal was based on the judgment that Chengdu would definitely fall due to the weak defense at Shukou.  "It was just a very immature idea at the time, and I had the courage to mention it in front of His Majesty. Now I break into a cold sweat every time I think about it." "But your suggestion seems to have been planned by the officials and Ambassador Zhao.  It comes down to reality." Zhao Kui knocked on the Sichuan situation map on the table: "Since last year, Chengdu has begun to transfer government and civilian population and government property to the southwest. I heard that this matter has affected the people near Chengdu Prefecture.  Complaints abounded, saying that the Tatars were rushing to flee before they came, which is simply unfounded worry. " "I heard that too," Zheng Yunming said with a smile: "Marshal Zhao thinks he is aloof and does not keep in touch with Jinghu. Doesn't he know about Jinghu?  How many generals have eyes and ears in Sichuan? How can they hide what happened in Sichuan from Jinghu? But when they heard that Zhao Zhizhi was forcing the people to relocate, they were very anxious and resisted the opposition of the elders in Sichuan.  Rushing to Kuizhou Road, even the Yushitai has a voice to impeach him." "So what?" Meng Gong said: "Now they have temporarily escaped from the Mongolian butcher's knife, but the matter is not over yet, Mongolia.  How can people stop after occupying Chengdu? Then they will inevitably launch a more violent offensive directly along the river to take Kuizhou. The elders in central Sichuan are in danger of dying, and they really need a hero to rescue them." He suddenly stopped at this point.  , everyone in the study unanimously turned their attention to Zheng Yunming.  Although the official document of the Privy Council does not say so clearly, how can the Privy Council, no matter how big it is, be able to compete with the emperor's handwriting?  Even the privy envoys and prime ministers could not refute the emperor's face.  What's more, Zheng Yunming trained troops and prepared for war in Jinghu, invented firearms, rebuilt city defenses, and fought with the Mongols, and his reputation gradually spread to the capital.  The Siming people in the court have not yet recovered their vitality, and everyone is happy to see Zheng Xianggong's son promoted as soon as possible and becoming a force against the Siming people as soon as possible.  Zheng Yunming stood up and said: "Official orders are of course obligatory. But here in Xiangyang" Zhao Kui said with a smile: "Don't use Xiangyang as an excuse to shirk responsibility. Tasi left in such a hurry, and there will be no big move southward in three years."  If the thieves attack with one hundred thousand men, Meng Dutong and I can defend it." What he said is true. Although Zheng Yunming contributed a lot in the defense of Jinghu, it is just a matter of the Warring States Period.  Zheng Yunming is not in Jinghu, and Zhao Kui has enough strength to deal with the North's comeback.  Zheng Yunming walked back and forth in the study twice and said, "I'm still worried. In this way, I will leave the Tulong Army here, and Zhizhi and Meng Shuai will each send me three thousand people to take them to Shuzhong."  "The Tulong First Army has the strongest firearms and the best equipment among all the armies in Jinghu, and Yang Juan has the reputation of being a little boy. Zheng Yunming left this army in Jinghu, leaving almost half of its combat strength.  But if he had to put together a mixed army of only 10,000 people to face the Mongolian attack of 100,000 troops, everyone would feel that he was simply overestimating his capabilities.  "There is no need to panic. As I said, even if Qu is killed, Kuoduan will not be able to stay in Sichuan. It is worth withdrawing his troops quickly to consolidate their dominant position on the grassland." Zheng Yunming said, "Besides, Sichuan is not without troops.  "General, when I get there, the generals will be organized to deal with the Mongolian army's partial division." "Just ask for any part you want," Zhao Kui said, "I can remind you that Sichuan is not as big as Jinghu.  Waterways extending in all directions can be used. If you want to choose people, it is best to choose brothers who are accustomed to fighting in the mountains. "" Qin Wu only needs to lead a part of the loyal army," Zheng Yunming asked: "But I don't know if the commander can bear the pain.  "Severe love?" Zhao Kui waved his hand: "I am originally yours, so why not bear the pain and give me another soldier?" He pointed to the junction of Kuizhou and Chengdu and said: "If you want to regain it in the future.  In Chengdu, you cannot rely on infantry and Mongolian cavalry to fight in open areas. I will assign Yao Zhong and his selected vanguard troops to your command. When fighting on flat areas in the future, make good use of a small number of cavalry to prevent the enemy from clashing smoothly. " He  This was because he was willing to give up half of the most elite cavalry in Jinghu as a gift. Zheng Yunming accepted it honestly and politely. Firstly, the Sichuan area was not all mountainous and there was plenty of room for cavalry. Secondly, he didn¡¯t have to worry about Zhao Kui¡¯s shortage.  As for the cavalry, the Song army captured 5,000 horses in the Battle of Xiangyang alone. Expanding the cavalry was just a matter of time.  Zhao Kui expressed his position, and Meng Gong had to express his opinion. He said to Zheng Yunming: "I will pay you with all my former army. The former army is commanded by Zhuo Jing's brother Zhao Wu. Zhao Wu has nothing to say about kung fu and military management. He just has  Time is lost recklessly,I hope the officials will give more advice.  ¡± Generally, the front army is an elite army. Because in this era, the victory of the vanguard army has a high chance of determining the outcome of the war. Therefore, the front army must be composed of the most powerful troops in the entire army. Meng Gong used such elites to  Naturally, he handed over Zheng Yunming out of love for his descendants, and he was also worried that once the Mongolian army occupied Shu, it would have a strategic advantage over Jinghu. Zheng Yunming said: "Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to develop industry, commerce, and agriculture in Jinghu.  To revitalize people's livelihood, it seems that it is no longer possible to take care of both. We can only hand over the affairs of Changpingcang and the transshipment department to Bai Yijie. I hope the two marshals will take care of the public affairs and revive the economy of Jinghu. They only have money and food.  Only by being fully prepared can we persist in the protracted war of resistance. This is the foundation for the future national rejuvenation. Yun Ming leaves it to you.  " And he said: "The manufacturing bureaus in Xiangyang, Jiangling, and Ezhou cannot be abandoned for a moment.  Today, Pei Gen has begun to study the matchlock firing mechanism. When the research and development of this mechanism is completed, he will immediately develop the matchlock gun system. This research and development may not be completed in a year, but we must persist in advancing it.  Now the Mongols have suffered a big loss in firearms. With the power of Mongolia, a country thousands of miles away, they will definitely promote the research of firearms with all their strength. When they come next time, they will definitely bring firearms that are not inferior to ours in quantity and quality.  At that time, we must come up with better firearms to compete with them.  " "There is one more thing." Zheng Yunming gently tapped Kuizhou on the map: "Most of the Sichuan state and county officials abandoned the city and left. To rebuild the grassroots political power, there are not enough officials and military generals.  " "Do you still need me to point it out one by one?  Look at what we did in Jinghu. When there were vacancies for state and county officials, we first sent troops to garrison, and then stationed generals who unified the army and took care of civil affairs. It was the officials who were waiting for the arrival of the court.  "Zhao Kui said: "Your foresight, suspicion and changeable temper must be changed. Just in time, I recommend a person to you. This person was originally a member of my shogunate, and now he serves as the chief secretary of the Huaidong Zhizhi Enshi Department.  , being resolute and decisive in dealing with things will definitely be beneficial to you.  " "The candidate recommended by the system envoy must be a person with great ambitions.  It's a pity that I can't wait for him too long. If I can't reach Xiangyang within three days, I will have to go to Sichuan to report.  "Zheng Yunming stood up as he spoke: "I will take my leave now. The deputy shogunate and the deputy bureau chief's office also need to be divided into two halves. One half will follow me to Shu, and the other half will stay in Jinghu to continue serving. Tonight, we will transfer our powers and responsibilities.  Divide it up and set off quickly.  The situation in Sichuan cannot be delayed for a moment.  "Although Zheng Yunming was suspicious and cautious when making decisions, once he decided to implement it, he was very fast and resolute. The nearly 100,000 Song troops near Xiangyang could have returned to their respective bases after the Mongolian army retreated, but Meng Gong's army came as reinforcements, so it was particularly convenient to return.  But the first person to set off was not any visiting army, but the army that Zheng Yunming had put together temporarily. Before setting off, Zheng Yunming took the time to receive several groups of people who came to visit him while nervously preparing for the trip.  It was Liu Tingmei, a strong man in Xiangfan. Last year, Liu Tingmei responded to Zheng Yunming's call to gather villages and merge them into forts, and built fortresses in strategic locations. While running farms and businesses, he trained farmers as militiamen every day.  Zhuang Nong's fighting ability was very strong. Although the Mongolian army attacked Xiangfan in large numbers and attacked Liu Tingmei's fortress several times, they were unable to defeat it. Instead, the Liu brothers seized the opportunity and fought several beautiful attacks and captured him.  Hundreds of people came to see Liu Tingmei this time. In addition to escorting the prisoners and seizing flags, golden drums, etc. to receive rewards, they also came to ask for something. "The reason for coming to see the officials this time is to say farewell.  "Liu Tingmei sighed: "I am old, and it is no longer enough to fight the barbarians every year.  Moreover, with the help of officials, the Liu family's land in Xiangfan is no longer the main source of income. There are many new businesses to take care of in Ezhou and Yueyang, so I plan to move my family home to the south.  " Zheng Yunming was stunned. In this era, unless there is a war to avoid disaster, it is a very rare thing to take the initiative to move one's home. But if you think about it carefully, it becomes clear. After all, Xiangfan will be the main battlefield between Song and Meng in the future.  The war will inevitably continue, and it is better to survive now than to be forced to leave in the future. ¡°Where will Liu Weng plan to settle down in the future?  Zheng Yunming asked: "Should there be tens of thousands of tenants in Xiangfan just giving up?"  Liu Tingmei waved her hand and said: "Of course not, and my glass shop in Xiangyang also needs someone to take care of it. I came here today precisely to ask the officials about this matter."  " He shouted toward the door: "Liu Yicheng, come in and see Mr. Zheng!  "A burly young man walked in the door and bowed to Zheng Yunming.
