Zhao Bing finally made up his mind to start the battle to restore the country, but his heart was not calm. He found that although he shouted every day that he wanted to return to his hometown and still capital in Bianliang, he was still full of fear. Why did he become like this? Zhao Bing thought hard for a long time today and found that the problem still occurred to him. He was worried that once he failed, his years of business would be destroyed, and he might lose his last place of survival and lose all his power. When the time has not come, there are strategic differences, and the army has just changed its clothes and has not yet formed combat power, etc., are all excuses for him to delay.

At present, Kublai Khan is about to die, civil strife is about to begin, and Huling is famous for his military development, but the strategic plan he made is still much smaller, and he dares not launch it in full, and his combat plan is controlled everywhere. Zhao Bing felt that he was still selfish and forgot the mission he shoulders for that little pitiful power and wealth. He just wanted to leave himself to protect himself. He was always afraid that everything he got would be lost, and he lost his original enterprising spirit and did not dare to give in.

The important officials in front of him were already in their seventies. Lu Xiufu and Wen Tianxiang had just passed by forty but their hair was frosted. Zhang Shijie's straight back was already hunched. Liu Fu was just over 50 years old and had white hair and called himself an old man. Why did they work so hard? When the fighter's opportunity was highlighted, they immediately gave up their previous differences and fully supported the launch of the resumption of the country.

Zhao Bing realized that they had a more tenacious belief, and for this, they could abandon everything, even their lives. In comparison, what was the difference between himself and Zhao Gou, who was content with himself and himself satisfied, and A Dou, who was happy. After learning from the pain, he found that he would not make any changes, and what he lost would be not only a moment of happiness, but also his original intention...

Zhao Bing, Lu Xiufu and others discussed secretly for several days, determined the strategy of regaining Jiangdong, and then summoned Jiang Yu and the generals of the Privy Council to Boao, and revised it based on the original plan he made. Then he ended the holiday early and returned to the city with all the ministers. The troops participating in the performance temporarily moved to rest and stood on time to summarize the experience gained from the previous exercise.

After returning to the palace, Zhao Bing paid a visit to the empress dowager and told him about what happened in Lin'an. Empress Dowager Yang heard that he was very anxious. Now that the royal family has withered, only the mother and son are left behind under the orthodox. Of course, he has the responsibility to protect the tombs of the late emperors. After crying for a while, he asked the young emperor to try to protect the tombs. This was the first time he saw Empress Dowager Yang so angry. As the saying goes, the eyebrows raised and the silver teeth were bitten, Zhao Bing certainly obeyed his mother's orders.

At the same time, Lu Xiufu also summoned important officials to hold a meeting to discuss the recapture of Jiangdong. However, he only said that Kublai Khan had been seriously ill and had not had much time to do so, and his civil strife was about to arise, so he could take the opportunity to attack Yuan, but he did not mention the robbery of the imperial tomb. Those who knew the inside seemed to have reached a tacit understanding and remained silent about this matter. The matter of attacking Jiangdong was limited to the knowledge of the ministers of various departments and senior generals in the army.

Zhao Bing thought about it and understood that they were also waiting for a chance to start a war, and realized that they only told them what they meant, so they kept silent. The stolen imperial tomb was just an excuse for everyone to seek. As for the fact that it was really as intense as it was verbally expressed, he might not have thought it was as if it were as if it were not for the news of Kublai Khan's death, they would never agree to do it themselves, but would rather dissuade them.

This made Zhao Bing more deeply realize that political needs are always the first priority, and feelings must give way to politics. Even if the ancestral grave is dug and you are really angry, you have to endure it before the time comes. He has not realized that politics is so cruel and ruthless. Even a humble gentleman must bow his head in front of it, otherwise he will not be able to stand in the court and participate in this game. So everyone chose to ignore it.

However, Zhao Bing and the ministers seemed to have no burden at this moment. After all, they were going to send troops, but they just hoped to use the stolen and excavation of the imperial tomb to the extreme, and the expansion was obviously more politically beneficial. After all, the effects of "preparing to dig" and "being dig" were very different in public opinion and emotional terms. This not only mobilizes the morale of the military and civilians of Qiongzhou, but also makes it difficult for the scholars and citizens in the occupied areas to accept emotionally, thus resonating and using it for their own use.

However, although everyone chose to keep it secret, all mobilization and preparations have been carried out in an orderly manner. First, the Maritime Bureau sealed the sea in the name of the arrival of the rainy season and ensuring safety. It strictly prohibited merchant ships from leaving the port. Merchants from all countries were not allowed to leave the scene without permission. The state prefectures also implemented curfews under the name of recent pirates' rebellion, strictly checking the people entering and leaving. The Bureau of Affairs was ordered by the emperor to start closely monitoring the Mongols and Yuan spies lurking in Qiongzhou and secretly arrested them; newspapers in Qiongzhou seemed to be silent at the same time, and did not report on military mobilization, training and related material mobilization.

Then, an edict was issued to various base areas such as Fujian and Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangnan, Zhangxia, and Liangzhe, ordering them to gather troops, raise supplies, mobilize wars, and prepare for counterattack. At the same time, in the name of inspection, Wen Tianxiang secretly went to Fujian and Jiangxi, Wang Daofu went to Guangnan, Chen Zeweng arrived in Zhangxia, and Gao Yingsong went to Liangzhe. They would represent the court to unified leadership of all anti-Yuan forces in various parties to launch a timely manner, echoing the war in Jiangdong, waiting for an opportunity to recover half of the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhao Bing ordered the Bureau of Affairs to quickly establish a secret channel for contact with each other so that they could quickly convey messages to each other; at the same time, the operation team was secretly transferred to Shaoxing. Once Yang Lianzhenjia began to dig the imperial tomb, he tried to stop it and delay time. Do not let him really dig the imperial tomb down to the sky. Otherwise, he would not only lose his political score, but also cause a series of doubts. The people will turn the finger at him. It was really a fox that was not caught, but he would be flirting with it...

July was in the anxious waiting. The spies from the affairs bureau reported that: King Tuohuan, Zhennan, moved to Ezhou, and King Hugechi of Yunnan, led his army north to Kaiping Prefecture in Zhongdu. Zhao Bing was a little surprised when he heard this. Could it be that Kublai Khan was dead? However, the spy lurking beside Kublai Khan did not report back the news of his death, and the majority of the people did not find any abnormalities, which made him a little confused and unable to judge whether he was dead or alive.

However, Zhao Bing knew very well that Mongolia had invested a lot of manpower and material resources in post transmission, and the speed of transmitting messages was faster than that of his own side. This may also be that even if he learned that the news was transmitted back to the city, it was later than that of the other side. The King of the Yuan Dynasty of the Mongolian Sect could not lead troops as usual, but Tuohuan and Hugechi led their troops to the scene, which was against him, especially Tuohuan was defeated and punished by Kublai Khan, which prevented him from entering the capital to meet him.

In this way, Zhao Bing judged that Kublai Khan might have been dead. He was just to ensure that the real gold succeeded in the throne of Khan, and did not announce the world. Instead, he secretly notified the kings close to him to go to Helin to attend the funeral and attended the Hulitai Conference. This will explain why some sect kings and Queen Nanbi of the capital did not take action, and the spies in Kaiping failed to send the news back in time.

After the Operations Team of the Bureau of Affairs sneaked into Shaoxing, the intelligence collection ability was greatly enhanced, and it could basically be reported every day. Of course, it would be delayed by three to four days, and the two places must be more than 3,000 miles apart, but it also allowed Zhao Bing to understand the development of the situation. Recent information shows that Yang Lianzhenjia had not yet learned that his greatest backer had returned to heaven, and he was like a cat who had stolen the fishing ones, and since he had obtained a large amount of treasure from the tomb, he could no longer suppress his greed.

After robbing the tombs around the imperial tombs, Yang Lianzhenjia finally turned his attention to the imperial tombs. However, this thief was not stupid. He knew that the Song Dynasty had only been destroyed for ten years, and the remnants of the previous dynasty still had longing for him. There were still a guard army stationed in the imperial tombs, and the excavation of the imperial tombs of the previous dynasty was unpopular. If the civil rebellion was aroused, the Prime Minister Sang Ge would probably not be able to save him. He was naturally very unhappy with fat in front of him.

The most desirable thing in China's dynasties is traitors. Taining Temple was originally a royal temple under the imperial tomb. Its function was to serve the dead emperor. It burned incense and blessings for the deceased on weekdays and attended ceremony during the high ceremony. This was actually a decent and greasy job. As vested interests, they should have been firm supporters of the Song Dynasty regime. Even if the country has been destroyed, they did not require that they have the high moral integrity of dying for their country. At least they should safeguard the interests of the previous dynasty, but they became the vanguards of betraying the old owner.

Seeing that when Yang Lianzhenjia first arrived in Hangzhou, the head of Tianyi Temple presented the temple to him as a place to stay. In order to help him make money, he instigated him to dig the tomb, so he was trusted. When he saw that his new master was in trouble, Zong Yun, the head of Taining Temple, felt that his opportunity had come. Everyone knows that the imperial tombs is not only a huge mound of seals, but also many ancillary buildings. Even the imperial tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty were "temporary", covering an area of ​​several miles, and the entire mausoleum area was wider. Once the mausoleum area was demarcated, people in this area could not enter without any movement, and they were not allowed to pick wood and grazing. Violators would be punished for death if they caught it.

Zong Yun caught this, but he did not come forward, but asked the monks from Yanfu Temple to cross the border to pick wood in the mausoleum area. As a result, they were caught by the soldiers in the mausoleum, which led to a conflict. Instead of monks who knew martial arts, they would of course be beaten up by the soldiers in the mausoleum. But it was exactly what they wanted, so they complained to the government, and instead falsely accused the guardians of invading the temple's real estate and demanded the government's protection.

The matter of Sakyamuni was related to the matter, and the local government did not dare to make decisions without authorization. At this time, "President" Yang Lianzhenjia came forward and agreed to mediate the matter for them. The favorite minister of the Khan was wearing such a big hat, and the government did not dare to provoke him, so the jurisdiction was transferred to him. Seeing that the time was ripe, Yang Lianzhenjia could not hold back and immediately led a large group of troops to block the entire mausoleum area and headed straight to the tomb of Lizong. Because he had been in power for more than 30 years, had a lot of treasures, and his death was still short, which was easy to excavate. It was a small profit and big deal.

According to the ritual system of the Song Dynasty, the Guling Army guarding the imperial tombs was one commander, which was about 500 people. Now there are six emperors buried in Shaoxing Mausoleum District, and there should be 3,000 troops of Guling Army, led by Guling Envoy. When Empress Dowager Xie agreed to surrender, she asked to protect the tomb of the late emperor, and Boyan also agreed. However, the Song Dynasty was destroyed, and even if the Bodhisattva was reincarnated in the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, she would not retain such a huge armed force, so the Guling Army had been cut a lot and had weapons collected. In fact, it was a group of cleaners.

Seeing someone digging the imperial tomb in broad daylight, Luo Xian did not retreat, but went forward to stop and did not allow the ground to be ripped off. So immediately, Zong Yun and other monks rushed forward and beat him up. Although Luo Xian resisted vigorously, he had no power to fight back at all, and the rest was only a verbal gun. But at this time, Yang Lianzhenjia was already crazy and ordered the Yuan soldiers to come forward and threatened him to put the sword on the spot if he organized the Dharma.

Unfortunately, the dynasty had changed at this time, and the world of the Song Dynasty was no longer there. All Luo Xian could do was cry, and then he was beaten out of the tomb area by a stick and forcibly rushed to a foreign land. The leader was forced to leave, and the other tomb guards saw that the situation was hopeless, so they could only watch the group of domineering evildoers publicly robbed the imperial tomb in broad daylight. Then the soldiers also scattered and fled their lives...

Yang Lianzhenjia found an opportunity to steal the imperial tomb of the Song Dynasty, but he didn't know that the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole was behind him. Zhao Bing was also waiting for this opportunity. He estimated that the imperial tomb was an imperial tomb after all, and even if it was simple, it would not be dug in three or two days. It would take more than ten days to steal all the corpses when they opened the museum. It took time to send information. Now, it should have been excavated. He rushed over and dug it out. This was just right.

At present, Zhao Bing summoned all the priests and ministers from various departments to the palace to discuss matters. All work had been arranged before, so they were only informed. This time, Lu Xiufu led the Ministry of Rites, Ministry of War, Ministry of Works and other people to go out to the expedition. Ying Jieyan was the one who stayed in Qiongzhou and was in charge of the government affairs with Liu Fu; Zhang Shijie was the general manager of the fight against the thieves, Zhao Mengjin and Liu Zhu were the deputy commanders, and commanded the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, two brigades of the Imperial Army, and two cavalry brigades, and two formations of the navy, totaling 100,000 troops, claiming to be 200,000 troops.

After receiving the order, everyone immediately dispatched troops and generals, deployed their troops according to the plan, loaded supplies, and chose a day to sacrifice flags to go on the battle. The next day, in addition to the Imperial Times, the Imperial Times announced the robbery of the Tartars of the imperial tombs under the title of "National Humiliation". For a time, the entire Qiongzhou was infuriated. The scholars from the Imperial College spontaneously went to the palace gate to write a letter, asking the court to send troops to fight against the thieves. They were willing to join the army and fight for the bloody battle to avenge the national humiliation.
