Yun Zheng stroked the Tokyo sand table in front of him with his hand and said in a low voice: "I have seen so many holes in Tokyo's city defenses that I feel fear from the bottom of my heart.
Because of this fear, many times I, a so-called famous general, can hardly sleep at night. It’s not that I can’t sleep, but I dare not sleep. As long as I close my eyes, the city of Tokyo will appear in front of me.
Everyone tells lies on weekdays. Now that Chen Lin has begun to tell the truth, I will tell you the truth and speak from my heart.
The reason why I dare not slack off in my expeditions over the years is not because I want to be an official, nor because I want to serve the imperial court, nor because I want to honor my ancestors.
The idea is even more nonsense. If I really have any ambitions, it would be to wait for death, raise a lot of children, and live out my life happily.
After conquering Nong Zhigao, I led troops into Tokyo city for the first time.
Do you still remember what it was like when I entered Tokyo?
The city guarding soldiers fled in panic, and the people were crying and running back and forth looking for a hiding place. Only Ouyang Xiu, a rotten scholar, stood in the city gate hole holding a wooden stick to help more than a million people in Tokyo guard the city gate. The old guy was brave enough and stood there
People in the city gate shouted loudly and asked who was coming.
At that time, I was standing on a horse outside the city gate, behind me were more than 16,000 desperadoes who had just returned from the bloody battle of Cochin!
In front of me is a towering city wall. The city is the most prosperous place in the world. Hahaha. As for the guard, there is only a weak old Confucian.
If I don't consider things like integrity, I just need to ride the horse forward. Even if the wooden stick in Old Man Ouyang's hand is drawn on the armor, how lethal can it be?
Tokyo at that time was an undefended city to me... If I had evil intentions and 16,000 tiger and wolf warriors entered Tokyo, the city would have turned into a scorched earth by now, right?
This is what I did in Shenglong City, and Liang Ji did the same in Dali City. You all know that we got back countless treasures from there. You must have never thought about what those two cities have become...
The outer city of Thang Long City was almost razed, and the city was littered with corpses. All the women of the Cochin royal family were kidnapped by the Annan savages who showed me the way, and were used as tools for childbirth and food reserves during times of food shortage.
When I left Thang Long City, a fire turned the famous city of Annam, built by the Cochin royal family for hundreds of years, into a scorched earth.
The bustling city of Tokyo does not bring me any happiness, and its decaying city defenses make me so disappointed with this city...
When I was living in the ancestral temple to worship heaven, I had a nightmare. I dreamed that the city of Tokyo was also burning with raging fire. Countless barbarians from the north were laughing and burning, killing, and looting in the city. They committed rape, robbery, and all kinds of evil.
I wielded my sword and fought bravely in the city, but no matter how many enemies I killed, there were always new enemies rushing out of the darkness to fight me.
When I was exhausted and scarred, I found that the whole city had fallen. I saw Pang Ji's head rolling on the ground, dead with eyes closed. I saw Han Qi's body like a rag doll falling in the ditch.
…
I saw ferocious savages riding on horses, and my wife was tied behind the horse and dragged along, wailing for me to save her..."
Yun Zheng still had a smile on his face when he started speaking, but as he finished speaking, tears flowed down involuntarily, and his voice gradually became sad.
Zhao Xu was afraid and stayed away from Yun Zheng. He pressed his hand on the frame of the model and felt at a loss. Pang Ji looked at Yun Zheng carefully, his eyes were a little red, but as cold as a rock.
Chen Lin retracted her trembling hands into her sleeves and tried her best to maintain a calm attitude.
Zhao Zhen closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep.
Yun Zheng's words, which were similar to Wu Zixu's curse for the country's destruction, gave everyone in the hall an unprecedented shock.
Even the queen, who hated Yun Zheng deeply, could only cover her mouth with her hands to prevent herself from screaming.
If we were to say that he was touched, who was more profound than Zhao Zhen, the Lord of the World? If Tokyo was lost, he knew what would happen. What Yun Zheng said was not surprising.
Zhao Xu watched Yun Zheng pull on a thread in the corner of the sand table, and immediately a small ball of flame rose from the Donghua Gate. The flames gradually spread around along a cotton thread, and finally ignited the thread on the sand table.
All wooden buildings, even the rivers on the sand table that had just been filled with water, had a layer of black grease floating on them, and eventually they burned.
So the whole of Tokyo fell into a sea of fire...
Everyone looked at the burning model of Tokyo City with mixed emotions without saying a word. Zou Tong ordered several eunuchs to open the windows on the north and south sides, and the thick black smoke was carried out of the palace by the draft.
Yun Zheng said painfully: "Just because I can do things like conquering Tokyo, others can do it too.
Just because it is something that can be achieved by manpower, we have no reason to despise Tokyo's city defense. Geographically speaking, Tokyo is not a suitable place to build a capital, but since we have chosen to build a capital in Tokyo, then, the land of Yanyun
It is essential. As long as we have a barrier like Yanyun, our Song Dynasty can effectively resist foreign cavalry.
To put it bluntly, in the Song Dynasty, the cavalry under my command should be the most powerful. The young army has now become an army. For him, both your majesty and I have put in a lot of effort. Their riding skills are excellent.
The Song Dynasty was still weak by three points in front of the Iron Kites of Xixia and the Pishi Army of Liao. If it weren't for their superior weapons, it would be difficult for the young army to defeat the barbarians who had grown up on horseback.
Because of fear, Fu Bi went to Qingtang to prepare real cavalry for the Song Dynasty. It was also because of fear that Han Qi gave up his position as a political advisor and went to the border to train in the army. It was because of fear that Di Qing did not dare to leave easily.
Hebei and Hejian Prefecture.
They left quickly, leaving me alone in the city of Tokyo, sitting in despair looking at the city defenses that were full of loopholes.
You have also seen that whether it is water attack or fire attack, the power of these common military methods will be amplified a hundred times in Tokyo.
The Yun family summoned the generals last night, but the result was that old Chen Lin could not sleep at night, and the empress allowed Yun Yue, who had unprincipledly broke into the palace, to return home.
If an enemy takes advantage of the situation and spreads rumors at this time, I almost dare not think about what will happen. I don’t understand. You all know clearly that the Tokyo city wall cannot bring you any safety, why would you leave the city defense to some just people?
Do you know people who live drunkenly and dream of death?"
When Zhao Zhen heard what Yun Zheng said, he suddenly opened his eyes. Zou Tong asked coldly: "Then who do you think should hand over the city defense? Should I hand it over to you?"
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Wei Chen is good at field battles, but defending the city is not my specialty."
Comrade Zou said: "You still have some self-awareness. Tell me, you set a fire in my palace today. You cursed me for the fall of Tokyo and insulted all my colleagues. You even shed tears in front of the court and said what you said sincerely.
What to do?"
Yun Zheng looked at Zou Tong and said angrily: "Can you tell His Majesty's original words properly? Do you have to add more fuel to it?"
Zou Tong was startled, and quickly looked at the emperor, and found that the emperor was looking at him. He seemed not dissatisfied with what he had just said, but was somewhat conniving. He turned his head and looked at Yun Zheng and said, "That's what I mean!
"
Yun Zheng was a little embarrassed, rubbed his face with his hands and said: "Weichen is a warrior, and he must be a rough man. Whatever he thinks in his heart, he will say it. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me. But wait for Weichen
When the people set out to conquer the north, please Your Majesty to quickly select a new city guard.
Tokyo is an imperial territory, so the gatekeeper needs a tiger. If there is no tiger, you can get two ferocious dogs. In any case, you can no longer use fat pigs to guard the gate."
Hou Zhitan and Lin Guang, who were of the same rank as Yun Zheng, were extremely angry. This was really the first time in the Song Dynasty that such an impeachment was carried out without leaving any face to others, so they all shouted: "Yun Zheng, you have gone too far.
, I will fight with you!"
Yun Zheng looked at the two old men who said they were going to fight hard, but their feet did not move and said with a smile: "If you really fight, no matter whether you win or lose, I will admit that you still have some military skills.
Look at what you are like now, are you trying your best?
Even though you know that you are not qualified for these positions, you insist on occupying these wealthy positions and are unwilling to give up. These positions may bring you glory, but they will also bring you disaster. As long as there is a disturbance in Tokyo, you will die.
No burial place.”
Hou Zhitan and Lin Guang, who could no longer bear it any longer, had just jumped out, but Pang Ji shouted and scolded them back.
The old man looked really angry. He pointed at Yun Zheng and said angrily: "Your Majesty is seriously ill. You have no sympathy for your father. Instead, you are talking nonsense here. Even if you are dissatisfied with the defense of Tokyo, you can just write a memorial. This world
There should be no one who dares to take your military memorial seriously, so we can just discuss it, how can we launch an attack here?"
Yun Zheng said without giving in: "I remembered a very funny joke. Zhong'e came to Beijing a few days ago, mainly to discuss how to build a border city and where to build a border city.
This is very important. As long as the construction of Zhong'e's Hengshan City is completed, Xixia will have no way forward in the Yan'an Prefecture area.
Di Qing, Zhong E and I jointly put forward the suggestion. You just said it in the political hall and then went to find trouble with Wang Anshi. The three of us didn't even have a chance to interrupt, and then it was time to have lunch.
It's time to eat.
You haven't made any decisions all morning, which means you've wasted the whole morning without getting anything done.
Then Di Qing and I advised Zhong'e to go back quickly and build the city as soon as possible. We hope that by waiting for you to come up with the charter, it will take enough time for him to build three or five cities." (To be continued)
