As a military enthusiast in his previous life, Zhao Bing had a preliminary impression of the Song Dynasty with many military history enthusiasts, that is, no one can defeat anyone, and is a weak country, seeking peace everywhere, and blames the reason for the sharp decline of the social status of Chinese soldiers. As the saying goes, "A good iron does not twist nails, and a good man does not serve as a soldier." Many friends attributed the military weakness of the Central Plains dynasty after the Song Dynasty to this. Some people also said that if you fall behind, you will be beaten. The Song Dynasty must be incompetent in the court and the country, so it ruined the great mountains and rivers.

Judging from what Zhao Bing saw now, he thought that this statement was actually questionable. But in the face of the original historical appearance, no one could avoid a question. Why was the wealthy and powerful Song Dynasty destroyed by the Jin and Yuan successively? Zhao Bing believed that it was actually five words - the commander was not professional. What is unprofessional? It means that the things that should be done are not good, and the things that should not be done are done vividly.

Gao Qiu became the most powerful minister just because he played well. What future generations need to pay attention to is that Gao Qiu was not favored by the emperor just because he played well. The real Gao Qiu was not an ordinary person. He had some tricks in seizing power for officials, so he could stay in a high position for decades without falling. However, he had no talent in managing the army, and he just kept praising Huizong.

When Gao Qiu was managing the imperial guards, he played a lot of fancy in military training. He did not pay attention to the combat effectiveness training of the army, but was willing to let the army compete in various ways. The imperial guards were not professional, which caused the army to guard the capital to be unprofessional. The war was definitely not like this; the army was definitely not like this. However, Huizong, who did not know how to fight and only knew how to be romantic and romantic, was very satisfied with this.

It would be fine if the commander was not professional, but the unprofessionality of the entire imperial guard from top to bottom did not cause the Song Dynasty to perish. If the emperor was not professional, it would be useless. Huizong Zhao Ji would be an excellent artist today, but in terms of governing the country, he really could afford the word "stupidity". His artistic attainments were very high: he was both outstanding in calligraphy and painting. He created the calligraphy of thin gold. His original works have been passed down to the present, and his value is tens of millions, and it is recognized as the best and divine product in the history of Chinese art.

However, as an emperor, Zhao Ji was not competent and could not distinguish between art and politics in governing the country. He was not sensitive enough to politics and power struggles. What he valued most was art. He was devoted to cultivating personal sentiments and improving his own artistic cultivation. If he wanted to work hard to shape himself into a person full of romantic feelings, he would be able to improve his employer. In fact, the emperor became an artist not necessarily meant that his country would be destroyed, but if the emperor regarded art as his main job, he would definitely destroyed the country.

Cao Cao was also an artist. During the period of the Three Kingdoms, he fought on the east and west on horseback and won himself a title called "The Founder of the New Situation of Jian'an Literature". However, he was a full-time politician and only played calligraphy and chanted poetry in his spare time. However, Huizong reversed his job and hobbies. He was a professional artist and an amateur emperor...

Zhao Bing knew that the current situation in Jingxiang was depressed, and he was unforgivable. There was a problem with employment. Although Jiang Jin was from a prime minister, he had a loyal heart and a scholar's integrity, but he had the feelings of a literati in his bones, but he lacked the courage to kill and decisively. Therefore, he was only suitable to be a successful general in peacetime, but he could not be the commander of siege cities and plunder in wartime.

It's like letting a tiger be controlled by a dog, but as the tiger's wildness fades away, its sharpness is lost, and its sharp minions become decorations. Look at the door and scare the wild cat. The mouse is okay, and then let them chase the prey. When facing a wolf, even if the wolf is old and weak, it is at a loss. It forgets to show its sharp minions, and dare not come forward. It will only make a few roars to try to show its power of tigers.

What Zhao Bing has to do now is to restore the tiger to its wildness, but to make it get rid of its habit of being lazy and lazy, it needs to use some means. It is inevitable to give it a few whips to let it know the pain and the feeling of anger. It also needs to make it understand that if it cannot catch its prey, it will have to go hungry, or be peeled and dressed, and be sucked into wine.

"The inspection of Liu Hua, the Duke of the Seventh Army, was unfavorable to investigate, resulting in the failure of tens of thousands of pounds of stored gunpowder, causing great property losses, and affecting the progress of the battle. After His Majesty's approval, he was dismissed from office and investigated; Feng Kang, the officer of the Seventh Army, and Han Wei, the head of the logistics regiment, was the person in charge. He should bear the main responsibility for the failure of gunpowder due to improper storage, and execute him on the spot in accordance with the wartime military laws!" After the young emperor's thunderous anger stopped, Wang Yinglin stood up and announced.

"Take it out!" Ni Liang waved his hand, and several guards immediately stepped forward to grab Liu Hua and pulled him up, but the other two were not so polite. They directly tore off their armbands, badges, searched for the license plates, and took them out with their arms tied up.

"Your Majesty, they have also contributed to the country. I hope your Majesty will allow them to redeem them before the crime!" Wu Longqi, the commander of the Seventh Army, saw that his subordinates were convicted one after another, hurriedly stood up and bowed and pleaded.

"My merit is merit, and fault is merit. Medal has been rewarded, and faults must be punished. The two cannot be compared!" Zhao Bing glared at him and said.

"Investigate He Qing, the commander of the Second Division of the Seventh Army, who violated military discipline and maintained the Song Ji in the camp with great influence. Your Majesty was allowed to be dismissed from his post and investigated; Bai Bingxing, the capital of the First Division of the Sixth Army, violated military discipline and used public funds to pay over-standard meal expenses, removed his post and demoted his third-class appointment." After Wang Yinglin announced again, the two were taken out again.

"Inquiry, during the period when the 1st Division of the Eighth Army occupied Fancheng, he forcibly bought and sold, and beaten two people. The commander Zhang Bai was dismissed and investigated!"

"Check Li Shen, the commander of the 1st Division of the Sixth Army, privately resold 600 kilograms of gunpowder and executed him on the spot according to military law!"

"Investigate Sun Bing, the commander of the Cavalry Battalion of the Second Division of the Sixth Army, falsely reported consumption, embezzled 300 stagnant horse money, and dismissed from his post and investigated!"

...

Seeing officers being removed from the lobby by the guards, everyone was feeling as if they were feeling pins and needles. Those who were guilty were already sweating in their clothes. The shock in their hearts was even more than 20 people. After Wang Yinglin finished reading the book, more than half of them were taken out of the lobby, and no less than half of them were executed. The generals in the hall felt breathing and raised their hands to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads.

"I am guilty!"

"Oh!" Zhao Bing sighed as he listened to the unchanging clichés that had lasted for a century.

Looking at the trembling people below, who knows how sincere their answers are, and how many of them realize their mistakes. Zhao Bing felt even more disappointed in the performance of the crowd. So many officials were punished and even executed, but only Wu Longqi came forward to plead for his subordinates, and no one else left a fart, let alone questioned them.

Zhao Bing was disappointed with their performance. They could be regarded as being obedient and unconditional obedience to themselves. It could also be seen that they were indifferent to their subordinates' life and death, and they only wanted to protect themselves, fearing that they would burn themselves. This was enough to show that the tension in the relationship between superiors and subordinates of the Jingxiang army was unwilling to protect them at the critical moment of life and death. How could they expect their subordinates to truly obey their orders and sacrifice their lives for them at the critical moment of life and death?

"I clearly inform you that you will not conquer Xiangyang. I swear not to withdraw your troops. Don't have any delusions, thinking that if you don't attack for a long time, you will withdraw your troops!" Zhao Bing was no longer able to complain about them, so he simply told them straight to the point and told them that he had no other thoughts except to try to capture the city.

"If you don't defeat Xiangyang, you will not stop the troops!" Everyone in the hall responded in unison.

"I can't hear it!" Zhao Bing said with a calm face.

"If you don't defeat Xiangyang, you will not stop the troops!" Everyone was obedient this time and shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Well, this looks a bit like a soldier in the Song Dynasty, let me know that you are still a little bloody!" Zhao Bing nodded with a smile.

"I am not a coward, nor a cowardly person. I am willing to lead troops to attack the city and capture the village and overcome Xiangyang!" Wu Long stood up and bowed up.

"Okay, these words are a bit of a sudden. They were like leading the people to serve the king and fighting the enemy in Yashan to death!" Zhao Bing pointed at him and praised him.

"I swear to follow Your Majesty to the death. The imperial flag will never retreat if it is pointed out!" Pan Nian also stood up and said with politeness.

"Why does this sound a little weak!" Zhao Bing smiled and then said loudly, "But I like to listen, it means that you still have me and the Song Dynasty in your heart, and it is hopeless!"

"Your Majesty, I am confused. I forgot the hardships of creating a foundation with Your Majesty, forgot the pain of the country's destruction in the past, and forgot that half of our country in the Song Dynasty was defeated by the enemy!" Pan Nianshen bowed with tears in his eyes.

"Born in distress and death in peace, forgetting to fight will lead to danger. Although we have recovered Jiangnan, we cannot rest assured. The Mongols and Yuan occupies only 100,000 miles of land. Jiangnan is just a corner of its territory. Although he has been defeated by our dynasty repeatedly, as long as he survives the difficulties and recovers, he can easily mobilize a million troops and fight in Jiangnan again." Zhao Bing pressed his hand and asked him to sit down, pointing to the two countries' situation map that had just been hung, and he pointed to the large northern Mongolians and Yuan territorial road.

"I will listen to Your Majesty's teachings!" Everyone politely said again.

"At present, the East Group has recovered Huaidong and Huaixi, occupied the line of Haizhou, Xuzhou and Yingtianfu, and can block Jiangdong and block the enemy's journey south along the canal; yesterday, Wenxiong sent another good news, and the army conquered Shu had recovered Chongqing and occupied Sichuan, blocking the enemy's path to invade our dynasty along the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Now as long as Xiangyang is still in the enemy's hands, there is no need for me to say much about its importance. The Mongolian Yuan is also mobilizing Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu and the grassland kings to go south to rescue Xiangyang. Therefore, Xiangyang is likely to become a decisive place for us to fight the Mongolian Yuan." Zhao Bing pointed at the map and said.
