Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 91: Enthroned (1)

In the afternoon, Zhao Chen called Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Zhang Xian to his front.

"Yue Fei, how is your injury?" Zhao Chen said.

"His Royal Highness, rest assured, my injury has long since healed! True man Wang has excellent medical skills, in fact, when I was in Zhongnan Mountain that day, I had nothing to do! If it weren't for the disciple who had to take care of True Man Wang, I would have returned!" Yue Fei smiled. Tao.

"Very good! Today we are still discussing the art of war! I will tell you a heroic story on the prairie!" Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Chen has been discussing the art of war with Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Zhang Xian these days! He taught the three people some knowledge of modern art of war, and also told them some specific battle examples of modern art of war! Today, he was going to tell the three of the wars of Genghis Khan, the number one military exploiter in ancient times!

He started talking about Genghis Khan's birth. Genghis Khan suffered countless hardships in his early years. Even his wife and mother were captured by the enemy, and he had to hide in the mountains! After that, Genghis Khan gave his wife's dowry to the Kleed Khan on the grassland at that time, and then relying on the power of the Kleed Khan, he slowly gained his own power!

His speech was all afternoon, Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Zhang Xian listened with great gusto! However, the three of them also understood that Zhao Chen was explaining the art of war to them, not telling stories alone, so they were thinking while listening!

Among Genghis Khan's art of war, the most important thing is the strategy of detour! This roundabout strategy is based on the premise of comprehensive reconnaissance of the enemy’s situation and terrain. With the durability and rapid mobility of the cavalry, the Mongolian army traverses unimaginable deserts, shoals, snow valleys, and wastelands, and unexpectedly penetrates into the enemy’s interior. , Divide, and cooperate with troops in other directions to attack the enemy on all sides! Genghis Khan’s great detour strategy was used to its limit. This is completely different from the previous war methods of various countries. Genghis Khan does not challenge the enemy at all, but uses rapid assault capabilities and continuous combat capabilities to form a vast battlefield space and make the enemy exhausted. He then violently interspersed and divided, allowing the rear army and the main army to jointly reach an encirclement of the enemy and quickly annihilate the enemy! Using this big circuitous strategy, Genghis Khan has taken the initiative in every war, and every time he is attacking frantically, using the least force to completely annihilate the enemy!

At this moment, Zhao Chen is discussing this roundabout strategy with the three.

"His Royal Highness, there are a lot of horses on the grassland, and all the people on the grassland are cavalry! Our Song Dynasty is located in the Central Plains, and we lack war horses. It is very difficult to learn from them!" Wang Gui said.

"In fact, we can also buy war horses from the north! Of course we want to do this to them. Everyone has several batches of war horses. It's really not easy!" Zhao Chen nodded.

"His Royal Highness, I think the story you are telling is very absurd! Every good horse has extremely high requirements for fodder! How can it be possible for them to run for thousands of miles without carrying refined fodder?" Zhang Xian said.

"The war horse breeds on the grassland are different from our common war horse breeds! Their endurance is excellent, and their demand for feed is lower than ordinary war horses. As long as there is grass, their war horses can survive!" Zhao Chen said. .

What Zhao Chen is talking about is precisely the characteristics of Mongolian horses. Mongolian horses have extremely strong endurance and extremely low requirements for forage. These are the main reasons why Genghis Khan was able to cross Europe and Asia! In contrast, the horses in the Great Song Dynasty are far inferior to the Mongolian horses, and the Khitan and Xixia horses are also far inferior to the Mongolian horses in this respect!

"Running thousands of miles, how to solve their rations?" Yue Fei asked.

"Most of their war horses are mares, and their soldiers rely on mare's milk and beef jerky stored in the weekdays for a living! When they arrive in the enemy's territory, they will naturally plunder the enemy's people!" Zhao Chen said.

"His Royal Highness said it is like a myth! How can there be such an army in the world, how can there be an invincible commander like'Genghis Khan'! I am the first Zhang Xian to not believe it!" Zhang Xian shook his head.

Zhao Chen smiled bitterly, what he was talking about was something that would only happen in a hundred years, and it sounds like a myth now! Genghis Khan is the pinnacle of the Cold Weapon Era and is well-known throughout the world. None of the warriors in China from ancient times to the present can compare to Genghis Khan! Even Yue Fei can almost be called the Chinese military god, but his military achievements are far inferior to Genghis Khan! Zhang Xian doesn't believe it, he can't help it!

"In fact, we can also learn this'Genghis Khan' tactics! We do not have horses, but if our soldiers are good at hiding, can march for a long time and can solve the problem of rations, we can also continue to detour, continue to penetrate into the enemy's territory, and then detour the army. Cooperate with the main force to destroy the enemy at the least cost! Even if you can't learn such a long-distance attack, you can implement this circuitous tactic in a small area!" Yue Fei said.

Soon, Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Zhang Xian began to discuss fiercely again!

Zhao Chen had already stood up at this moment and walked towards the door of the Palace of Heavenly Purity!

The heavy rain for several days finally stopped, and a rainbow appeared in the sky!

Looking at the rainbow, Zhao Chen was in a great mood!

He is about to ascend to the throne, he wants to teach all his knowledge of warfare and famous warfare to the three people before he becomes the throne! Historically, Zong Ze was Yue Fei’s warfare teacher. Now that Zong Ze is absent, Zhao Chen wants to take up this responsibility himself!

"The more the later generations, the role of the generals becomes smaller and smaller. What is going on? Later generations, it is rare to hear that a general will reverse the whole battle? Is it just because the later generations have advanced science and detection methods, so the generals Has the role of the worm become smaller?" Zhao Chen suddenly had a question in his heart!

After thinking for a while, he couldn't think of an answer, and then shook his head, pressing this question in his heart!

In a blink of an eye it came to the 9th of July!

In July of the lunar calendar, the weather has gradually cooled down, and there is already a hint of autumn!

In the morning, when the sun just rose, Li Gang, Zhe Keqiu, Qu Duan and others came to the outside of the Palace of the Qing Dynasty and knelt down on the steps!

Zhao Chen walked out of the palace and said, "What's the matter with Aiqing?"

Li Gang said: "His Royal Highness, the second emperor Beishou, the Jurchen Tatars looked at me and the Song Dynasty, and the King Kang rebels brazenly usurped the throne in Shangqiu! The country cannot have no emperor for a day. Please come to your Highness to be the emperor!"

Zhao Chen said: "I'm weak and talented, I'm afraid I won't be enough to inherit the position!"

Li Gang said: "His Royal Highness is smart and wise, benevolent and loves the people. He is also the eldest grandson of Song Dynasty. If His Royal Highness does not inherit the throne, no one in the world can inherit this one!"

Zhao Chen said: "Let me think about it!"

Li Gang and others persuaded for a while, but Zhao Chen just refused to agree, so Li Gang and others left!

In the afternoon, Li Gang, Zhe Keqiu, Qu Duan and others arrived again. They knelt on the steps again and asked Zhao Chen to succeed, but Zhao Chen still did not agree!

At night, lights were everywhere in the Han Palace. At this moment, Li Gang and others came again. This time they still asked Zhao Chen to succeed. Zhao Chen finally agreed this time!

In fact, these were the etiquette before the emperor of the Song Dynasty ascended the throne. Only when the courtiers requested three times, the prince could promise to inherit the throne! This is just to show humility, to show that it is not that I am greedy for power and want to succeed to the throne, but that the ministers repeatedly requested that I have to ascend the throne for the sake of Jiangshan Shiji!

In Zhao Chen's view, this etiquette is extremely hypocritical, but the emperor of Song Dynasty did this, and he is no exception! Even when King Kang succeeded to the throne in Shangqiu, he was still "invited" three times before agreeing to ascend the throne!

The tenth of July finally arrived, and the weather was extremely bright on this day!

When the sky was light in the morning, Zhao Chen had already left for the Taimiao accompanied by numerous guards including Yue Fei, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, Kang An, etc.!

This Taimiao was temporarily built after Zhao Chen came to Hanzhong, and it enshrines the tablets of the ancestors of the Zhao Song royal family!

Zhao Chen was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe today, and he knelt down respectfully, first kowtow three times, and then prayed silently!

"May God bless China, so that the Chinese people will not suffer further disasters!"

"May the ancestors bless Zhao Chen, so that Zhao Chen can rescue his father, mother, and Taishang, so that the Song royal family can continue!"

"May people all over the world work together to drive out the Tartars and restore China!"

He prayed quietly here, until noon, Li Gang, Zhe Keqiu, Wang De and others came again!

This time, Li Gang and others invited Zhao Chen to go to the "Imperial Palace" and officially ascended the throne! The palace is the Han palace! From today, this Han Palace will temporarily assume the responsibility of the imperial palace!

Zhao Chen came out of the Taimiao and sat on top of the emperor! Sixteen ministers, including Li Gang, Zhe Keqiu, Qu Duan, etc., lifted the emperor and headed toward the palace!

Zhao Chen's face is neither sad nor happy, but his fists are clenched! After waiting for a long time, I finally waited for this day! No matter what happened in the past, no matter what difficulties he will face in the future, he will be the monarch of the Song Dynasty from today, the emperor of the Central Plains! From today, he will decide the fate of the world!
