Shen Tang, Liu Xiangling, the iron-blooded traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty Chapter 1349: Chen Yingqiu's words, and then stimulate the soldiers of the state
Chapter 1349: Chen Yingqiu's words, and then stimulate the soldiers of the state
Chapter 1349: Chen Yingqiu’s words inspired Lizhou soldiers again
In the end, under Chen Yingqiu's "eloquent tongue" about this matter, Ye Yong had to swallow his unhappiness! Shi Hao also took this opportunity to mention what Wei Qi said again and directly brought Shen Tang back. Make it a reality to reinstate the official!
Outside the palace, Shi Hao and Chen Yingqiu were walking in tandem!
Shi Hao hurriedly took two steps and walked side by side with Chen Yingqiu, "Yingqiu, you boring gourd, why did you suddenly speak today?"
It's no wonder Shi Hao would say this. In fact, although Chen Yingqiu has been back to the court for some time, and as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, he can be regarded as a high-ranking official in the court. However, in the court, he rarely speaks out, even if there are some things Most of them kept silent.
Today, even he did not expect that Chen Yingqiu would speak up for Shen Tang.
Chen Yingqiu paused slightly, then sighed softly!
"Weng Zhi, our Song Dynasty is now suffering from external and internal troubles and can no longer tolerate internal strife! Although I have never met Shen Tang, I am not unfamiliar with his experiences and deeds. To have such a young man Junjie is my great fortune in the Song Dynasty!"
At this point, his voice dropped slightly, "Yue Pengju died that year, which made our Song Dynasty troops unable to go north and could only stick to the front line in Huainan! After Yue Pengju's death, our Song Dynasty still had How many generals are there who can fight?"
"Deyuan has the heart to look north, but he doesn't have the ability to do so! Previously, with His Majesty's full support, Deyuan sent hundreds of thousands of troops to march into Shandong. What was the result?
Yu Yunwen and Tang Qing both had the intention of the Northern Expedition, but Tang Qing, who had been a soldier in Lizhou for many years, was still defeated by Fengxiang Mansion?"
"As for Li Xianzhong, Shao Hongyuan and others, they can be generals but not commanders!"
"Nowadays, the only person who can be called a good warrior is Shen Tang!"
"Although I, Chen Yingqiu, are not familiar with military affairs, I can hear and see clearly, and can plan strategies. I can force the Jin soldiers back thousands of miles away and solve the difficulties of Deyuan. I can lead my troops to run around and defeat the Chengdu Prefecture with a small number. The difficulty is that we can single-handedly pacify Southern Xinjiang..."
"Shen Tang is more powerful than Yue Pengju back then! Moreover, he is smarter than Yue Pengju! He did not blindly look northward, and he has a lot of troops but has a close relationship with His Majesty! The most important thing is that he is truly the number one scholar appointed by His Majesty! So! First of all, although he is a military commander, he is actually a real civil servant!"
"In the future, Shen Tang is most likely to become an important civil and military official in the court!"
"When Yue Pengju died, you and I were powerless! Because..." He paused, but still said, "At that time, there were officials at the top, powerful ministers at the middle, and treacherous sycophants at the bottom! But now, His Majesty himself is leaning towards Shen Tang. , you, the left prime minister, are also on good terms with Shen Tang! If in this case, we can't save Shen Tang, then the Song Dynasty will be rotten to the core.
Therefore, today, I must stand up..."
I have to say that Zhao Shen is happy but also sad!
Many people in later generations said that Emperor Gaozong had ministers for the Northern Expedition but no emperor for the Northern Expedition, and Emperor Xiaozong had ministers for the Northern Expedition but no ministers for the Northern Expedition! However, I think this is not the case, at least, not entirely correct.
During Zhao Shen's dynasty, there were military generals like Zhang Jun, Wu Lin, and Li Xianzhong, as well as the support of many civil servants such as Shi Hao and Yu Yunwen! Although they were not hard-line war factions, they all had the intention of the Northern Expedition. However, This day is really unfortunate!
The problem of redundant troops and redundant officials in the Zhao Shen Dynasty was extremely serious, and the court was in deficit. Fortunately, Zhao Shen and some important ministers had realized this problem and began to solve it! Not only began to conduct detailed inspections in the army, but also in the officialdom, Zhao Shen also began to eliminate the police. Abolition! The decades of Zhao Shen's reign can be regarded as the fastest growing decades of national power in the entire Song Dynasty after Yi Guan moved south.
It's a pity that they met Wan Yanyong and the Jin Kingdom was at its most powerful. Otherwise, even in history, marching troops north may not be without the power to fight!
After Shen Tang arrived in Lizhou, he repaired it for two days. On the third day, under the leadership of Zhang Jun, he walked out of the tent and headed towards Wu Lin's cemetery!
In front of Wu Lin's cemetery, there were still many Lizhou soldiers and generals. When they saw Zhang Jun and Shen Tang coming, these people bowed to them in a low voice!
Shen Tang did not speak, but walked straight to Wu Lin's tomb, and then prostrated himself on the ground, "Junior Shen Tang, pay my respects to my senior!"
In terms of official positions, Shen Tang is not inferior to Wu Lin, so Shen Tang directly bows to the descendants! Moreover, seeing Shen Tang kneeling down without hesitation, the expressions of these Lizhou soldiers looking at Shen Tang softened a lot. !This is their commander-in-chief. Shen Tang’s respect for Wu Lin is the greatest respect for them!
"Senior led his troops to the north. Although he was defeated, he did not lose the majesty of the Song Dynasty! The younger generation will definitely remember the seniors and the many sons and daughters who died in the North, and will remember to regain our homeland of the Song Dynasty! I hope that senior Quanxia can rest assured knowing that I will The Song Dynasty still has countless good men and women who will inherit the legacy of our ancestors and promote the prestige of the Song Dynasty!"
Having said that, Shen Tang bowed solemnly!
After paying homage, Shen Tang stood up, turned around and glanced at the group of Lizhou soldiers!
"See for yourselves, what do you look like now?"
Shen Tang suddenly shouted loudly, "Everyone is listless and dejected! The senior's suicide note to me said that his Lizhou army was the best in the world, you are worthy of such a title?"
You have wasted your senior’s ten years of hard training and his trust in you!”
"you……"
Shen Tang's words made the Lizhou soldiers present red-eyed! As powerful Lizhou soldiers, they are proud, and they have their pride and self-confidence. However, Shen Tang's few words knocked them into the dust. !
"Senior died fighting for the Song Dynasty. He died fighting for his homeland. He died a worthy death! It is inevitable for a general to die on the battlefield! Maybe you and I will be the next ones to come here to accompany my senior soul to Jiuquan!"
"I, following your Majesty's order, will control the official positions and troops in Lizhou! Five days later, I will continue to send troops north to Fengxiang Mansion!"
"If you still want to avenge your seniors and prove the majesty of your Lizhou soldiers! Then go back to the camp to repair, and send troops to the north in five days! If we win, we will come back together to worship our seniors again, and let him know , the Lizhou soldiers did not disappoint him. If they were defeated, it would be nothing more than a corpse wrapped in horse leather! When we come back, we will accompany our seniors back to the underworld!"
"The heroic spirits of our seniors are not far away, and they are watching you now! If you want to prove that you are not a coward, prove it to me instead of being powerless here!"
After saying that, Shen Tang turned around and headed towards the camp with Zhang Jun again.
As soon as I walked not far away, I heard a loud roar coming from behind me!
