Chapter 747 Raiders

Everyone is considered an old minister who follows His Majesty. Over the years, he has adapted to the style of the little emperor. He has participated in such a small dynasty meeting countless times. He knows that he has something to do and says, and he will hurry up and go there. Not a single hour Zhao Bing handles the political affairs and announces the dispersion of the dynasty, but he wants Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie, Ni Liang and Lin Zhiwu to discuss the siege.

"Everyone, Lin'an City is near, and it is our long-cherished wish for us to win the city and go to the court for many years. I would like to ask you for advice!" When I returned to the second hall, it had been arranged as a command room for suggestions, with maps hanging on the wall and sand tables placed in the middle. Zhao Bing and everyone gathered around and said.

"Your Majesty, Lin'an City is surrounded by water on both sides and mountains on the other side. Only the North City is the place for military use!" Zhang Shijie said first.

"Your Majesty, our army is good at water battles and has a precedent for attacking Quanzhou. However, the enemy in the East City has weak defense, and the warships can drive directly to the city. My subordinates think they can break the city from where they are!" Lin Zhiwu said.

"The west of the city is close to West Lake and has a water gate. The rivers in the city are well connected. You can blow it up as much as possible and use a small boat to carry troops into the city and go down the river, and the center will bloom!" Zheng Yong also suggested siege the city from the waterway.

"I think if you just want to attack the city, your suggestions are feasible, but what we want is not a abandoned city or an empty city, but a base that can provide us with production, life and support retro." Zhao Bing looked around and said after hearing this.

"Your Majesty's intention is to preserve the facilities in the city this time, and not harm the lives of the people. After breaking the city, there is no need to work hard to rectify it. You can use the workshops and personnel in the city to produce military weapons and provide supplies." Lu Xiufu pondered for a moment.

"Prime Minister Lu deeply understands my intentions, that's exactly what it means!" Zhao Bing nodded, and said with great relief.

"Your Majesty, the houses in Lin'an City are all made of bamboo and wood, with a population gathering and hedgehogs. The two armies are bound to be killed or injured when fighting. Our army is equipped with firearms, which will inevitably hurt innocent people when it is radiated, igniting the house..." Zhang Shijie frowned.

"I also know the meaning of General Shu. It is difficult to protect the city and avoid hurting the people during the chaos. Yes?" Zhao Bing nodded and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhang Shijie bowed and said. He had just realized that he had made a mistake. If he said this, he would be timid and show that he was incompetent.

"I also know it's difficult, but I can't protect Lin'an. What's the use of us? Just to regain the reputation of the old capital? It's better to have thousands of cannons fired together to flatten him, wouldn't that be more intimidating the enemy!" Zhao Bing said.

"Your Majesty said!" The little emperor said, which made Lu Xiufu only get goose bumps all over his body. It was a good thing, but it made people feel uncomfortable when he said it, but he could only follow it.

"Your Majesty, we can siege the city. The troops in Hangzhou have been wiped out, and there is no more troops coming to support the country. At that time, they would open the city and surrender without food and clothing." Zhang Shijie said at this time.

"It's not appropriate. This is the time for war to be urgent. If there are too many troops involved in the siege, the enemy will come to support us everywhere and it will be difficult for us to deal with it. In addition, winter is approaching, and the army cannot stay in the wild for a long time. If Lin'an cannot capture it for a long time, it will definitely affect morale and make the enemy dare not surrender!" Lu Xiufu waved his hand.

"Lu Xiang's words are reasonable. The regaining of Lin'an cannot be delayed for a long time, otherwise it will be detrimental to stabilize Jiangdong and even affect the regaining of Jiangnan." Zhao Bing said.

"If your Majesty has any plan, just say it bluntly. Don't let me guess!" The little emperor asked everyone to find a way. This is not good, but it is not good, but it depends on the meaning and must conquer Lin'an. Ni Liang understood that he must have an idea, but he clenched his fists and asked everyone to guess, and muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Haha, you are impatient!" Zhao Bing heard it, turned his face and glared at him, but smiled and said with a smile.

"I want to attack from here?" Zhao Bing said on the sand table.

"Your Majesty wants to attack the city from the south?" Zhang Shijie couldn't understand why His Majesty set up the breakthrough there, and said in surprise, "Your Majesty, there are many mountains in the southeastern city, and there are almost no roads. Only the city gate and water gate are set in the southeast corner. The terrain is complex and narrow, so the army is difficult to spread, which is not conducive to siege."

"Your Majesty, it's really inappropriate!" Lu Xiufu also spoke out, "The South City Wall is close to the Imperial City and adjacent to the Da Nei. There are many halls and pavilions in it, not a place for military use."

"Haha, but that's what happened in the past, not today!" Zhao Bing said with a wry smile. Yesterday he had learned from Zhou Mi what the imperial city looked like before, and how miserable it is today.

The Lin'an Palace in the Southern Song Dynasty was built after the decision to use Hangzhou as the "Zhanzai" in the second year of Shaoxing, and was originally built with the expansion of the prefecture of Hangzhou in the Northern Song Dynasty. It is called Da Nei. It is located at the southern end of Lin'an City, ranging from the eastern foot of Fenghuang Mountain to the south of Wansongling, east to the southern section of Zhonghe, south to the north of the Brahma Temple in the Five Dynasties. Da Nei has 30 halls, 33 halls, 4 halls, 7 towers, 20 pavilions, 1 pavilions, 6 pavilions, 90 pavilions. In addition, the Eastern Palace of the Prince Palace was also built. It is divided into five parts: outer court, inner court, Eastern Palace, Bachelor's Court, and Palace Back Garden.

The outer court is located in the south and west, the inner court is northeast, the East Palace is located in the southeast, the Bachelor's Academy is located near the north gate, and the Palace Back Garden is located in the north, which is roughly formed in the front dynasty and the back sleeping pattern. The palace city is surrounded by the imperial city, the south gate of the imperial city is Lizheng Gate, the north gate is Hening Gate, the east gate is Donghua Gate, and the west gate is only the back gate of the mansion. The palace city has the north and south palace gates opposite the north and south gates of the imperial city.

The buildings outside the court include the Daqing Hall, the Chuigong Hall, the Yanhe Hall, and the Duancheng Hall. The Daqing Hall is located in the Nangong Gate and is the venue for the Dacha meeting. The Chuigong Hall is north of the west side of the Daqing Hall, the rear hall is north of the Chuigong Hall, and the Duancheng Hall is east of the rear hall. Among them, the Chuigong Hall is the Changcha Hall, and the rear hall is the place where the emperor meets the winter solstice and the main festivals. The Duancheng Hall is a multi-functional hall. It is called "Duancheng" when serving as a suburban temple. The slogan is called "Jiying", and the banquet is called "Chongde", and the military officials are taught "Stories of Martial Arts", and the plaques are changed at any time.

There are many palaces in the inner court, including the Funing Hall and the Qinzheng Hall. There are also the Jiaming Hall where the emperor can eat. The Empress's bedroom is Hua Hall, Kunning Hall, Ciyuan Hall, Renming Hall, Suli Hall, etc. There are also the Xuande Hall where the emperor discusses affairs with his ministers, the Chongzheng Hall and the Library Pavilion for lectures. In the Eastern Palace, there are palaces used by the prince to study, such as Xinyi Hall, Yizhai, and the Cining Hall used by the Empress Dowager, as well as garden buildings such as Boya Tower and Xiuchun Hall.

The palace and the back garden face northwest, with the main halls including Cuihan Hall, Guantang, Lingxu Tower, Qingrui Hall and several pavilions. The garden has a small artificial West Lake that imitates the scenery of West Lake, a rockery flying spring, pavilions and towers, which are beautiful. In addition, the Bachelor's Academy is also in Hening Gate, inheriting the system of the Bachelor's Academy of North Gate in the Tang Dynasty. Outside the gate is a series of central institutions including Taimiao and the three provinces and six ministries. With the Imperial Road as the axis, it is distributed from north to south between the areas of Wushan, Ziyang Mountain and Phoenix Mountain from north to south.

"Your Majesty, I know that there has been a fire in the imperial city, but there will be some remains!" Lu Xiufu suddenly felt something was wrong after hearing the little emperor's words.

"The Imperial City and the Sansheng and Six Tribes have all turned into white ground, and there are no tiles left." Zhao Bing sighed and said slowly, and casually slashed the sand table, sweeping the palace models to the ground.

"Your Majesty, the imperial city is built on Phoenix Mountain. It is close to West Lake in the north and connected to the riverside in the south. It looks like a flying phoenix, so it is called Phoenix Mountain. It has two winged pavilions, and the left is Huhu, and the right is like a flying phoenix. The spirit of a county and a prince are all from this mountain. There is really a few auspicious places here. After the regaining Lin'an, the palace city will be rebuilt. If the army fights here, it is afraid that it will damage the spirit of the king!" After a while, no one spoke, as if they were recalling the prosperity of the imperial city in the past. I regretted the tragic situation today, Xu Zongren sighed and persuaded.

"Haha, the kingly spirit. When I moved to Qiongzhou, someone advised me that Qiongzhou was located in a corner of the overseas area and had no kingly spirit and could not do anything. But what about today? In the past, Wu and Yue built their city to dominate Jiangdong based on this, but where are they now!" Zhao Bing smiled and did not believe in evil at all.

"This..." Xu Zongren didn't know how to answer, so he could only retreat embarrassedly.

"We are trying to keep workshops, craftsmen and granaries, reduce casualties among the people, and take down Lin'an City intact. Therefore, in this battle, I am going to use the tactic of three sieges and one to drive the enemy out of the city, but I am not going to fight the enemy in the city. Look here!" Zhao Bing said as he pointed at the sand table.

Luocheng is a concentrated area of ​​the official workshops. After the fall, the Yuan court took over and remained basically intact. Among the military weapons, Shaofu and the General Supervisory Organization, the main workshop areas are distributed: the west of the Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites, which is the first military workshop area in the city. The second military workshop area, namely the Duyuan, is located in the north of Yongkin Gate.

Wensiyuan is divided into two realms, and there are many craftsmen serving each work. They are located in Anguofang, southeast of Guanqiao, namely Beiqiao Potato. Dyeing workshop is located in Yijing Lane, north of Jianqiao. These two places are the workshop areas of Shaofu Jian. The east and west of the Bazuosi Branch belonging to the prison is located in Kangyu Fang, commonly known as Bazuosi Lane. The Danfen is located in the south of Pu'an Bridge outside Chongxin Gate, and the curtain foil farm is located in the west of Chunhu Bridge outside Chongxin Gate. Xiunei Branch is located in the south of Weichuncang in Dongqing Gate. Xiunei Branch is located in the east of Chengchuncang.

There are three aspects of the printing industry in the government. One is the printing workshop of the Imperial College, which is the printing workshop of the history, science, science and medical books in Jijia Bridge, and the bookboard gate is also located here. The other is the printing workshop of the Huiziku in the Du Tea Farm, which is attached to the Tea Farm in the East Capital of Tongjiang Bridge. The Paper Bureau of the Construction and Construction Bureau of the Construction and Construction Bureau of the Construction and Construction is located on the bank of Chishan Lake. The third is the printing and construction workshop of the printing and construction workshop of the printing and construction workshop of the Taifu Temple in Baominfang. These three are relatively concentrated and have a certain scale.

There are more than 80 workshops inside and outside Luocheng, but the walls of the fang have long been demolished, and the fang system has been destroyed. The Song Tingyuan divided it into thirteen chases on the fang to strengthen the control of the citizens. With the development of the commodity economy, large-scale workshops have been established in the city such as shipbuilding, ceramics, textiles, printing, papermaking, etc. in Lin'an City. Professional markets and commercial businesses are spread all over the city. From the streets and alleys, there are all large and small shops, and there are shops on both sides of the Tianjie Street. There are also shops on both sides of the fang, and there are all night shops. Due to the destruction of the fang system and the relaxation of the night ban, night markets have appeared in the city. The transactions are endless day and night, and there are three or four drums at night, and tourists are scarce. The five drum bells ring and the morning market is open.

In the canal in the north of the city, rivers and boats and masts and slals from the river and Huai River are connected, and they are reluctant to part with each other day and night. As soon as the river in the south of the city is brought to Taizhou, Wenzhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and voyages from Japan, North Korea and South China Sea countries gathered with masts. Six new cities were added in the Southern Song Dynasty. Except for Nantumen City and Beitumen City, which are located outside the East City, this area is bordered by the Grand Canal and is convenient for transportation, which is the key to the distribution of goods and business trips. The rest are distributed in the northeast and northwest suburbs of the city, and there are many in the northwest suburbs.

"Lin'an City has been prosperous since ancient times, and our dynasty has had such a scale after a hundred years of operation. If we forcefully break the city, I don't know how many years it will take to recover. Your Majesty is thinking about it!" Although Lu Xiufu didn't have much time to stay in Lin'an, he could also see the layout. If he sieges the city and attacked the city, he would definitely be a mess after the war. How to resettle the country when he moves back? Rebuilding requires countless money and manpower. He also knows that the battle to restore the country is just the beginning, and the huge military expenditure in the future is still difficult to raise, let alone rebuilding Lin'an City.

"Your Majesty just tell me, I will follow it!" Lu Xiufu agreed with the little emperor's idea, and Zhang Shijie no longer insisted on his opinion and politely said.

"The main force of the enemy's Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces has been wiped out. It is reported that the city has shortage of troops, and only ten thousand people have been collected. Some of the forced expeditions have helped defend the city, and they dare not go out of the city to fight. The imperial city has been destroyed and has been abandoned. The Tartars' offices and officials all live in Luocheng. Therefore, the main force of the city guarding must be gathered here and has no time to take care of the outer city, which gives us a chance." Zhao Bing said that Lin'an's city is not like other cities, the inner city, and the outer city is connected together, like the Hui-shaped one. Instead, Luocheng is parallel to the outer city, and the outer city continues to expand eastward with the east wall of Luocheng.

"In this way, we hid our troops in the eastern mountains, broke through the city from Taohua Pass and entered the imperial city, and sent troops to seize the east of Luocheng. The west wall formed a siege to the north, and the main force went out of the imperial city and squeezed north along the Imperial Street, forcing the enemy to abandon the city and flee. I have such a plan, and I haven't thought about the details yet. Do you have any good plans to say just as bluntly!"

"Your Majesty, the wall of the imperial city is connected to Luocheng, but the east gate of the imperial city is set in the southeast corner. Not only is it difficult to get to the road from Taohua Pass, but there are moats surrounding it. It is better to dig a tunnel under the pass and head straight to the city, and then bury gunpowder to blow up the city wall. The three armies can attack the city as quickly as possible, so that the enemy cannot defend themselves!" Ni Liang thought for a while and said first.

"Mr. Ni said so much. This can highlight the surprise troops and attack the enemy without any preparation!" Zhang Shijie nodded and said, "I think that the current replenishment fleet has not arrived. I can take advantage of the opportunity to surrender and secretly send troops to dig into the tunnel. In order to confuse the enemy, we can send troops to the North City to set up a village to attack the city, and send another naval ship to Qiantang and West Lake to block the water surface and cut off all contact between the enemy and outside the city!"
