From the general perspective, Zhao Bing thought that the Song Dynasty was born at the wrong time. At this moment, it was the era when the northern nomadic peoples developed a strong and outward-oriented invasion of the North China Plain. The militarized political-economic-social organizational structure gave it the advantage of expanding and aggressing and seizing resources. After that, the troubles continued. After the death of Taizu, the two defeats of Taizong Zhao Kuangyi in the Northern Expedition made him lose his ambition. The military changed from offensive to defensive, and the internal reality and external weakness became the family law of the ancestors, and were regarded as the criterion for governing the country by successors.

Defense became the main means of military confrontation. From the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, from Zhao Guangyi's "Ping Shu Wanquan Formation" to the mountain cities everywhere in Sichuan, the Song army's first reaction when they saw the enemy was to build a city or something to hide in and hold on. Zhang Shijie thought of using this tactic to naval battles, which was a subconscious idea. But he really didn't think that the whole country had been lost, and only his own army was left. The enemy blocked Haikou and the entire army was trapped in an "allway". What else would he guard and wait for? Waiting for the enemy to retreat or die?

Zhao Bing thought that Zhang Shijie was waiting for this last moment. The tradition of passive defense for hundreds of years and decades of repeated defeats made the military and civilians in the court no longer dared to imagine attacks and imagine victory. Although his troops were not less than those of the enemy, they had completely lost the courage to attack. They were not even willing to continue to retreat, so they rejected Chen Yizhong's suggestion to retreat to Chameng City and gave up Yamen Haikou. Therefore, the reason why he chose to do this was not for victory, but for finding a grand ending for the Southern Song Dynasty. At that moment, what he thought about was probably how to sacrifice his country bravely.

6 Xiufu's mood was not much better at this moment. The grim situation, the struggles between ministers, and the difficulties of restoring the country had already exhausted him. As Zhao Bing saw that he had been in extreme anxiety since he learned that the Yuan army was attacking him in large numbers. At this moment, he probably thought about how to be executed generously. He had the courage to die for his country, but he had never thought that he might win, and perhaps he did not dare to think that he could win. The act of committing suicide by trampling on the sea on his back was an extreme manifestation of his mentality of "waiting for death".

In a word, although the Song army has not failed yet, Liu Xiufu's will is on the verge of collapse. If Zhang Shijie, as a military general, can remain calm in times of crisis, he is just a scholar and has long lived in despair. Once he is stimulated, he will collapse and embark on the road to success. But probably they are already desperate about the future. At this moment, what they think in their hearts may be left to walk the last part of the road decently and spend the last time.

After Zhao Bing realized their thoughts, he would also think that if these more than 100,000 lives were eliminated and the idea of ​​killing oneself, and fought with the Yuan army with a passionate battle, and fought for the last battle with the Yuan army, how many people would survive in the death battle. And those who survived could establish a belief of unyielding and determined to compete with the Mongols in the future. As the saying goes, it is not too late for gentlemen to take revenge for ten years. Their behavior and mentality of committing suicide and dying for the country are indeed more in line with the orthodox Confucian culture advocated by orthodox Confucian culture. However, it was not as happy as King Goujian of Yue who forced Fuchai to commit suicide by lying on firewood and trying to kill Wu and dominate the world. They were also depressed...

"Your Majesty, this is a draft, please check it out!" Zhao Bing was thinking about his thoughts. Chen Renweng and his men had already drafted a combat plan and said to him.

"Well, I'll watch it first." Zhao Bing took it over, looked it through and closed it and said, "This war is related to the fate of the Song Dynasty. It must not be ignored. I have not been able to take power now, and it is unlikely that I will get the support of all the ministers. Therefore, there must be a backup plan and consider it from the most difficult point, and think about the possible fight of the independent army."

"Please let Your Majesty make it clear!" Chen Renweng was not surprised when he heard this, so he politely said.

"You also know that the military affairs in the court are under the charge of Taifu Zhang and there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, so they are always arbitrary. However, he was from an infantry army and was not familiar with water wars. I am worried that he would use his old tricks again and would kill the court." Zhao Bing said as he looked at the sand table.

"Your Majesty is worried that Grand Tutor Zhang will still use the method of iron chains to fight against the enemy during the Battle of Jiaoshan?" Han Zhen had already understood His Majesty's meaning at this moment. The plan they had made for a long time was the backup plan. The topic had just begun, but he also understood what His Majesty was worried about.

"That's right!" Zhao Bing nodded, raised his foot and stood on the stool and picked up the baton next to him, drawing a circle of the sea area inside the Doumen and said with a worry.

"He should really listen to His Majesty's lecture, and know that Zhuge Kongming burned the battle of Red Cliffs, wouldn't it be a death to fight for a boat on the sea?" Lin Zhiwu said half surprised and half angrily.

"This formation is a defeat before the battle. The Taifu will not be so confused for many years, right?" Han Zhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Doing this would mean giving up his advantages in military strength and water warfare, and instead fighting the "city" battle with the Mongols who were good at infantry warfare. And using his own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths was a taboo in military strategists, and he said with some conviction.

"I also hope this possibility will not occur, but the situation may be worse than this!" Zhao Bing turned to look at Han Zhen and smiled bitterly.

"It's worse than this?" Chen Renweng couldn't think of anything worse than this, and said in surprise.

"Well, I am worried that he would follow the example of Han Xin's plan to fight against the enemy against the enemy, cut off his retreat, burn all the palaces and military camps on the island, and all the soldiers and civilians boarded the ship to fight the enemy in a decisive battle!" Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"Ah?! Isn't this the same as suicide?" Cai Qiao said in surprise with wide eyes wide open.

"You're so big, you want to eat people!" Zhao Bing glanced at him, and the faces of several people were extremely ugly. He pretended to be relaxed and stabbed Cai Qiao with the baton and said with a smile.

"Yes, this is just Your Majesty's guess. You are so fussy. If you let others see him, don't you laugh at him for being alone?" Cai Ruoshui patted him and said, and the others laughed.

"I think you forgot. Is it wrong again when the matter that Your Majesty guessed?" Cai Qiao opened his hand and asked dissatisfiedly.

"This..." Cai Ruoshui immediately frozen when he heard the smile on his face, and the other people looked at each other. They also realized that as Cai Qiao said, what His Majesty predicted was verified every time, and there was no error in it.
