Chapter 711
As soon as Zhao Bing reported the name of the dish, he saw that everyone was "descendant". Yang Lianzhenjia was even more trembling, obviously scared. He immediately realized that this dish seemed to be well-known in this era, but in fact he had no chance to eat it and didn't want to eat it at all, just because this way of eating was too cruel and he was afraid that he would not be able to sleep after eating it.
When making air-dried chickens, the chef uses special techniques and the production speed is also very fast. The operator has to pull the chicken feathers, take the internal organs, fill the seasonings into the chicken's belly, suture the incisions, and then hang it in a ventilated place. Because the speed is extremely fast, the chicken is still alive at this time, and then hang it in the wind and snow to "cuckoo" and scream. It is said that the scene is cruel and inhumane.
Thinking about how terrifying it would be if I was blown open like a chicken, I took out my internal organs and piled them in front of me. At this time, I was in pain but I was still alive. Not to mention that I was really tortured, the timid ones would probably imagine that they were scared to death. Looking at Yang Lianzhenjia's face turned pale, I was afraid that I would already regret what I did, which made the King of Hell rush to find his own bad luck.
Seeing a series of thieves hanging upside down in front of the Lizong Mausoleum, listening to their terrible cry, Zhao Bing's anger was reduced a little. He ordered the soldiers to stay and stayed at the tomb to prevent anyone from entering, so he pulled Luo Xian, who was still crying, to continue to investigate the terrain. He knew that the Yuan army would not take long to learn about his coming to worship the tomb. This place would become the main battlefield. He had to establish a solid line of defense, and combat based on favorable terrain would be much easier.
After roughly walking around, Zhao Bing found that the Mausoleum District was in a semi-enclosed basin, with a water and land passage connected to the outside world. The water route was the Yuhe River waterway between Wulian Mountain and Wuhuling when he came. The land route was a valley blessed by Wuhuling and Xinweijian Mountains in the southwest, leading to Shaoxing Prefecture. Although there was also a path on the east side, it was a place where streams gathered, which was not suitable for military force. The surrounding mountains were not high, but trees were planted on the mountain, so it was very difficult for cavalry to cross it.
At present, the navy of his side controls the waterway between the Yuhe River and the canal, and the main combat direction will be concentrated on the landway in the southwest direction. Zhao Bing carefully surveyed the surrounding terrain. The mountain pass between Wuhu Ridge and Xinwei Jian is about two miles wide. About ten miles into the valley, there is a narrow and long, low earth mountain called Baihu Ridge north-south direction. It is not high at a height, but it covers the cemetery behind it like a screen wall. However, to the south, it forms a gap about six miles wide between Ziyun Ridge on the south side. Through this open area, you can reach the mausoleum area.
Before Zhao Bing could complete the survey of the mountains around the mausoleum area, he received a report that everyone had arrived at the pier later, so he could only return in a hurry. It was almost noon, and a group of ministers in the supreme harbor had already arrived. Because Emperor Gaozong's Yongsi Mausoleum was close to the pier, which was conducive to transporting supplies and the place was quite spacious, he set it as a temporary garage.
Yongsi Mausoleum faces north and south, and the buildings on the mausoleum are divided into two palaces. The upper palace is the place of burial. It is located south of the lower palace, consisting of two outer fences, outer fence gates, and magpie platform. Outside it is composed of red and gray walls with a circumference of 63 feet, two north and south Lingxing Gate, hall gates and sacrifice halls, ** imperial hall stone storm, land temple, patrol houses, etc. The outer fence is equivalent to the pine and cypress planted around the imperial tomb of the Northern Song Dynasty. The two magpie platforms are built in the outer fence, which can symbolize royal majesty and play a landmark role.
The lower palace is an annex to the imperial tomb, located in the northwest of the main tomb. It is an activity place for the tomb guardians, including officials, soldiers and palace ladies. It is also a place for the emperors who visit the tomb to rest after entering the tomb area. It is also a huge group of buildings. From the outer fence gate through Lingxing Gate, it is the hall gate, that is, the main gate of the front and rear halls of the lower palace, there are three hall gates, each one is one and four feet wide and two feet deep, each one is one and four feet wide and three feet deep. There are also two east and west corridors, each one is one and one foot wide and one and six feet deep. There are one house in the east and west halls, each one is one and one foot wide and one and six feet deep. There are one lower palace with the front and back hall corridors as the main body. There are 13 and three brick walls built around it.
In addition, there are external fence doors, Lingxing Gate, Chuehui Gate, Five Divine Chefs, Three Divine Chefs, Two Divine Chefs, Two Divine Chefs, Two Innocence Rooms, One Fire Kiln Zi, Four Kiln Rooms, Three Clothing Rooms, Three Divine Chefs and Three Divine Chefs, Three Divine Chefs and Three Divine Chefs, Three Divine Chefs, Three Divine Chefs, Three Divine Chefs, Three Divine Chefs, Three Divine Chefs, Three Divine Chefs, Three Divine Chefs, Three Bedrooms, Inside and Outside the Fence Wall, Five Bedrooms, Sculpting Gods, Seven Temples, and One Divine Journey Pavilion. The outer periphery is a white gray wall, and the outer outer periphery is surrounded by bamboo fences.
To borrow the place where our ancestors sleep, Zhao Bing naturally had to go to the palace to burn incense and worship. As for the procedures, the ministers arranged it. Although the Gaozong Mausoleum was not the earliest to be built, it has been more than a hundred years since the Song Dynasty was funded by the imperial court to repair it. However, since the fall of Lin'an for more than ten years, even if there are still people guarding it, there will be no one to organize it every year as before. Therefore, the overall building is still good, but it will inevitably appear dilapidated and can be cleaned. Because this time the troops were sent to protect the tombs, a large number of craftsmen, servants, eunuchs and palace maids were indispensable for the army. After choosing the place where they were, these people immediately started to clean up and clean it.
Zhao Bing took advantage of the opportunity to learn about the situation after he left the formation. After the advance fleet left and waited for the tide to stabilize, it was already dawn, and it was impossible to hide his whereabouts. So they simply raised the Song Dynasty imperial flag as arranged, spread the ceremonial guards and drove into the river mouth. On the way, they sank more than ten patrol enemy ships and the customs clearance ships that collected commercial taxes and tariffs, but never encountered enemy ships again. Although there were a small group of enemy troops on the land, they could not do anything. After tracking for a period of time, they returned without success. However, it would not take long for the enemy governments at all levels to learn about the Song Dynasty fleet's journey to the imperial tomb.
As for the sudden approaching Lin'an of the Song Dynasty, more people were surprised, and most of them were extremely calm, and there was no scene of food and pots of water to greet each other, and there was no situation of obstruction. They seemed to have not woken up from the shock and could not believe the fact that the king's army arrived. Zhao Bing did not think it was surprising that because Empress Dowager Xie surrendered in the city, there was no major war in Hangzhou, and Boyan strictly restrained the army. Generally speaking, the lives of the people were not greatly affected. Therefore, for the people, they were just a tax collector, and even built a temple to Boyan to express their gratitude. The previous dynasty only existed in memories.
After the fleet entered the Yuhe River safely, it now closed the estuary, prohibited all ships from passing, and sent battlefields to warn the direction of the canal. Now the transport fleet is on the port, the infantry has landed and assembled, transporting supplies, waiting for assignment of tasks. The navy also sent alerts at the dock and arranged land defense. At present, all work is carried out in an orderly manner, just waiting for His Majesty's next order.
Zhao Bing also briefly introduced that after he arrived, he had captured the culprit Yang Lianzhenjia, destroyed the enemy troops in the mausoleum area, and confiscated the stolen property. He also talked about the stolen Zong Mausoleum. Now he has restrained his and the queen's corpses, sent someone to take care of him, and tied a group of thieves to the mausoleum after the arrangement is completed.
Although the team of the guarding the tombs had safely arrived at the destination and completed the initial goal, Zhao Bing knew that this was the advantage of the raid. He caught the enemy off guard and the enemy who had come back would soon come. Therefore, time was still quite urgent, so he simply divided the work. Since the rear team led by the left prime minister Lu Xiufu just set off, Chen Zhongwei was temporarily presided over, and Ma Tingluan and Xu Zongren assisted in restoring Li Zongling and Empress Wu, as well as the damaged Ning Zongling and Jiling. He was responsible for military affairs, resisted the enemy's attack, and planned strategies to annihilate the enemy.
The only ones who came to the escort this time were the imperial guards and the navy, which was equivalent to Zhao Bing's personal army. It was called the division-level organization. However, it was under the jurisdiction of the 5th Brigade, an independent artillery regiment and an independent navy, with a total force of more than 40,000, which was equivalent to the strength of the five divisions. Except for the remaining guard brigades, all of them were dispatched to participate in the war. This was also the confidence that he dared to use his unit to take on the responsibility of seducing the enemy and annihilation of the enemy...
"Do you understand?" Zhao Bing had no time to draw detailed pictures, so he could only outline a simple picture on the ground based on the results of his temporary survey, and used sand and gravel as a hill to make a simple and brief introduction. He glanced at the guard generals who asked.
"Your Majesty, I understand. This mausoleum area is simply a Jedi!" Ni Liang, the chief magistrate of the Guardian, frowned and said, "There are only one land route to the mountains. The enemy can block the mountain pass and trap us to death if we only surround and do not attack."
"You are right, so Zheng Yong's mission is particularly important. You must not only defend the Yuhe River, but also ensure that our contact with the outside world is smooth and retain a path to advance and retreat freely!" Zhao Bing nodded and said to Zheng Yongyan, deputy commander of the Guardian Army and commander of the Navy.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates know that as long as we guard the waterway, we can advance or attack, retreat or defend, and obtain supplies from the outside world." Zheng Yong looked at the little emperor and said.
"That's right, this waterway is our lifeline. If it is lost, it will be counted. As long as the waterway is in hand, we will play this game of chess alive!" Zhao Bing said.
"Your Majesty, if we are guarding each of the tomb cities, wouldn't it be too passive? And so many people will find it difficult to unfold!" Ni Liang said, dividing the tomb area into two parts.
"Yes, the area of the Mausoleum is too narrow. Although it is reliable in the city, it has no depth and will disturb the late emperors!" Zhao Bing turned his face and looked at Ni Liang and said.
"Then we can only ensure the safety of the mausoleum area by blocking the valley entrance and blocking the enemy from outside!" Ni Liang pointed to the valley entrance between Wuhuling and Qianweijian Mountains.
"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate." Du Yu Hou Lin Zhiwu shook his head and said after hearing this.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Bing asked back.
"Your Majesty, although defending the valley entrance can stop the enemy from the outside, it is erected with our purpose of this battle, so my subordinates think it is inappropriate!" Lin Zhiwu replied.
