Not long after, Ni Liang came back. In addition to the two large boxes of documents, there were also two clerks from the Affairs Bureau.?                                                                                                               
?He knew that there must be something urgent when His Highness did not sleep at night, and he could not help with such things, so he invited the clerk who was responsible for sorting out the information. Zhao Bing was very pleased to see that he had made such progress.
"All these are the information returned from all over the country this month?" Zhao Bing said, pointing to two large boxes three feet square.
"Report to Your Highness, that's right, this is all important. Nothing else is brought. If necessary, we will go back and get it!" A clerk bowed and said.
"You bring me the news about the court first!" The people who can be presented to Zhao Bing's desk every day have been screened and edited, and can be half an inch thick. However, one of the information needs several copies, or even more than a dozen pieces of information to confirm each other, which shows that the work of the Affairs Bureau has gradually gotten on track, and so much money has already been spent on its own.
"Yes, Your Highness. These are the dynamics of the court since the twelfth lunar month." The clerk quickly found out from a box and presented it, including the sorted and the unsorted.
"Okay, you guys go down and have a rest for a while. If you need it, you will summon it again." Zhao Bing looked at the one-foot-high document and frowned. He said, "I guess he can't finish reading these things even at dawn."
Zhao Bing simply looked through it and found that some of these documents have been sorted out, while some have not been sorted out. The content is more complicated, including those about the court dynamics, military changes, and personal situations of officials. In short, there are collections of matters in every detail. Several people who are under key care are more detailed, such as whether he attended the court meeting in the past few days, who met with people, and what he said; even what he ate every day, whether he was happy or sad, and how he was physically in a collection. These things look like brainless things, but by a comprehensive analysis, you can find what you need.
I don’t know how long it takes to find what he needs after turning this way. He knew that most of the things that could cause Ying Jieyan’s reaction were due to the results of the court discussion, or some big shot did something extraordinary. So he focused on these two aspects. There were so many things, and even a six-foot-long desk could not be opened, he simply opened the street stall on the ground.
Fortunately, everyone knows the fault of Your Highness. Not only are the wooden floors on the study floor, but also blankets in some places, so that he can sit and lie down at any time. If he put some toys on it, it will be like the current children's room. Seeing Your Highness sitting for a while, lying on it, and crawling around on the ground from time to time, Wang De quickly added a few candlesticks to the house, dried tea, and placed snacks everywhere to facilitate his eating and drinking.
"Nothing changed?" Zhao Bing looked around for a while and found nothing unusual. He turned over and lay down on his face, raised his legs and said. He couldn't figure out what was causing Ying Jieyan to suddenly take action.
"Is it because the spies from the Bureau of Affairs did not find out, but the old man learned what he learned through his own channels?" Zhao Bing thought that this might be a problem. Although the Bureau of Affairs has made extensive spies in the court, not many people can go deep into the core. It is difficult for the little chapel meeting or the empress dowager to summon ministers alone to obtain detailed information. But the old man may have people in this area who can obtain secrets unknown to outsiders, so he took action.
"No!" Zhao Bing suddenly thought that he had been in seclusion for only five or six days, and Qiongzhou was not far away from Jingao, and it was not close to him. The contact points of the Bureau of Affairs do not have carrier pigeons, which required several times to reach, and the use of carrier pigeons would also be affected by the weather. Therefore, the information would be delayed for several days, or even more than ten days. But he checked it in the order of the arrival date, so he saw all the "old news".
After slapping himself twice, Zhao Bing rolled over and climbed to a pile of untied papers with his butt. It was obvious that these were just received. These papers were even more messy. Even the papers were written in large and small, with different lengths, and the fonts were all different, some were elegant and some were messy, but they all had one characteristic - the characters were small and they looked hard.
"On the sixth day of the 12th month, Liu Shen attacked Jingao again. Fighting again!" Zhao Bing took out a small note of two fingers from the pile of paper, and he whispered softly.
"The thief Liu Shen chased the Cross Gate, and the two armies fought fiercely, blocking the enemy from Geyao.
"The Deputy Privy Councilor Zhang Lie in the southeast of the island to fight against the thieves."
"The thief entered the north and south waterways and wanted to get the imperial boat."
"On December 13th, the bandits surrounded Jingao again, and the two armies fought again."
"On December 17th, lose, break through to the south."...
Zhao Bing picked up a small pile of information about the battle situation from the paper found. These notes often only have a few words, some repeating each other. It is obviously from different intelligence officers, but they all point to the recent battle. He also pieced together the entire picture of the battle from these fragmented information.
After two battles in November, the soldiers gathered again due to hunger and cold and excessive fatigue. After more than ten days, the Song army was busy logging wood on the mountain of Dahengqin, repairing damaged ships, and building temporary palaces for the emperor. After staying for more than ten days, Yuan general Liu Shen led a brigade of navy to chase the Cross Gate east of Dahengqin. In order to protect the safety of the emperor and the empress dowager, the Song army transferred them from Dahengqin to Xiaohengqin. The Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council Zhang Shijie ordered the infantry to guard the highlands of Dahengqin, Jiuao, Taipa and Mage Mountains, and personally commanded the warships to line up on the southeast of the Cross Gate, and fought with the Yuan Navy on the sea surface of the area around Jiuao and Taipa.
This is the time when the Song army moved south along the coast to the north and the Yuan Navy head-on at sea. At the critical moment of life and death, the Song army fought hard to counterattack the enemy ships that were forcing Xiao Hengqin repeatedly with dense stone cannons and strong bows and crossbows to resist the Yuan army's attack. Yuan army warships repeatedly attacked the imperial ships moored west from the waterways between the north and south sides of the Luyun Island to attack the particularly conspicuous imperial ships anchored on the shores of the large and large Hengqin, but were blocked by the imperial guards in front of the Song army's palace. After several days of fierce fighting, the Song army used the storm to release fire boats and burned all the enemy ships that invaded the waterway. However, the Yuan army could not break through Xiao Hengqin without the cooperation of infantry and cavalry, and had no choice but to retreat and rest.
