Chapter 362 Reinforcement

Since Zhang Shijie announced the closure of the port, what makes Zhao Bing most depressed is the difficulty of transmitting intelligence. In the past, the Affairs Bureau could send information in and out through any channel of 6 channels, water routes and sky routes. Now, the information sent in can only be transmitted through the use of carrier pigeons. The information sent in often has to be transferred several times to the contact station in Xinhui County, and then try to pass it to Xingchao. This will make the information turnover time longer, making it impossible for him to obtain the latest information in time.

However, what made Zhao Bing pleased was that a group of people in Qiongzhou had already thought about him. They gave the emperor tribute in the name of New Year's Day, and did not give him more. They gave him a few boats today and a few more tomorrow. Anyway, they came every few days and every time, they were packed full. Because the gifts they gave were not easy to stop, even Zhang Shijie, and they could not board the ship without authorization to check. After all, it was the emperor's private wealth. He dared to move and was disrespectful, which made him feel uncomfortable in minutes, so no one knew what he was pretending.

Ying Jieyan and others also made full use of this loophole. Not only did they send intelligence and urgently needed supplies, they also put on makeup and entered the inner palace to discuss with Your Majesty how to deal with the current situation. A group of people in Qiongzhou thought that the risk of this battle was too great, and Your Majesty should not take the risk of staying here. It would be best if they could sneak back to Qiongzhou with the ship and seek restoration of the country, but they should not live or die with the country here. But what disappointed them was that Your Majesty refused Hui Qiong's suggestion and decided to stay and share the fate with his own warship like a captain, and would never leave his brothers on the ship.

Everyone tried hard to persuade him but wanted to give Qiongzhou the help of the court, but his Majesty still refused. His reason was also impossible for everyone to force him, because His Majesty wanted to see it for a long time and could see it clearly. But everyone knew that the Song Dynasty without His Majesty was not good, and Qiongzhou without His Majesty was still a mess. No one except him could unite the generals of Qiongzhou, so they could only find another way.

In ancient times, there was a method of increasing troops and reducing stoves to confuse the enemy. Yingjiejian did the opposite. He ordered the escort force of the ships transporting tribute to prevent any loss on the way. However, after the materials were delivered, there were always ships who could not return due to various problems and had to stay in Yashan for repair. After the last batch of materials was transferred, Zhao Bing's camp guards had already 8,000 more. The entire Defender Army and Fushi Guard were sent to protect the troops by Yingjiejian, and the reserved military ammunition was enough to support the needs of a battle.

Ying Jieyan thought very thoughtfully. He knew that although His Majesty was young, he was cautious, decisive, and had strong adaptability. He was also very brave. He showed extremely high command ability in the Battle of Qizhou. Not to mention planning the relocation of Qiong, even the East Sea Island battle planned a few days ago was also admired. It not only saved Qiongzhou from the war, but also completely shattered the plan of Ali Hague to pacify Qiong. At least he would not come again before the next dry season. This also shows that His Majesty has an ordinary strategy. As long as he regards time as a general, he can be a good general, and as a general, he can control the entire army.

But now only Ni Liang and Zheng Yong command the guards. Ni Liang, the second disciple, is very clear about how good he is. He is in good manner and is loyal to His Majesty. However, his ability to adapt is too poor. The battlefield situation is changing rapidly and with his current ability, he cannot handle it at all. Zheng Yong is a good man who is good at handling the boat and water. He is also smart and has assisted his father in commanding the soldiers. But he is finally a wild path and can become a talent if he has experienced it. But now, the two of them are not at the right time to command and dispatch the guards in the front line, so His Majesty will inevitably go on the battlefield in person. If there is a mistake, it is an irreparable mistake.

Therefore, the navy of the Guards and Guards, who were selected by the Emperor, were named Chen Renweng as the general. He was a scholarly person, but he was also familiar with the art of military training and training. He performed well in the formation and training of the Defeat Army, participated in the two wars of Qizhou Yang and Donghai Island, and had the potential to be a good general. The infantry army was led by Han Zhen, the commander of the right-wing army. He was well-managed. He had followed Jiang Wanzai to fight against the Mongols for many years, and had a long battle on the battlefield and had rich practical experience. It was reassuring that the two of them assisted His Majesty in commanding the Guards, and their loyalty was unquestionable. There would never be any escape at the last battle or abandon the master to escape.

Zhao Bing smiled without hesitation at the good intentions of the generals of Qiongzhou. He knew that he could only protect himself with his strength, but if he wanted to make a difference in this battle, his troops would be in short supply. Although he had made an agreement with Jiang Jin in secret and obeyed his own dispatch during the war, in his memory, Jiang Jin seemed to leave Xingchao because of some accident and did not participate in the war. If something really happened, he would be caught off guard, so he could not put his treasures on the imperial guards in front of the palace, and he still needed some backup.

The other generals in the court, Su Liuyi and Zhang Shijie, were related by father-in-law and son-in-law. Zhao Bing was not sure to convince him to obey his command and did not dare to contact him rashly, so as not to alarm the enemy. The new Wang Daofu and Ling Zhen had a relationship with him, but they all had defeated soldiers who escaped from Guangzhou, with only a few thousand people and were too weak. The others were related to Zhang Shijie, either for many years or relatives, and had formed an interest group, so it was not easy to buy them. Therefore, he only conquered Du Hu and Lu Shicheng, two guys who were not close to him and his uncle did not love, but his power was limited, and it was okay to do some small things. The reinforcements were able to hide successfully this time.

So Zhao Bing has been racking his brains these days, thinking about how to use the little force in his hands to accomplish a "big thing", but no matter how he calculates, it's almost a little bit of it. He can't take care of his butt, especially if he makes a little mistake, he doesn't even have some mobile troops in his hands. This is of course not in line with his usual cautious style of behavior. He is wondering whether to mobilize the Qiongzhou army to the nearby area to cooperate with the action. But this is also very risky. Whether it is revealed by Zhang Hongfan or Zhang Shijie, it will cause trouble and destroy his entire plan.
