Chapter 386 Timing
Under the sniper of the crossbow, the Yuan army's fire ships finally failed to rush to the water camp. At this time, the tide began to retreat. The enemy, who had lost the opportunity to attack, had no choice but to return to the camp with a pile of broken ship boards. w?w w?
?b?i?q?u?g?But today will not only bring them an offensive failure, but also a mental shock. Think about it, it was not easy to destroy a large warship in the past. It was not only a spirit of fearlessness, but also a coincidence. Otherwise, it would be impossible to sink the opponent in a head-on battle. But now the opponent can destroy things that are difficult for them to do for the rest of their lives. How can we not be discouraged!
The Song army fought hard for one day, and the enemy had no choice but to withdraw the troops, which was also an excellent result. His Majesty created another miracle in times of crisis, which made the entire army even more excited. But some people were not very happy, that was Zhang Shijie. He understood at this moment that the emperor was not afraid of himself, but did not take himself seriously at all. From this battle, he clearly realized that although the emperor had much less military strength than him, it was not difficult to kill him. He just didn't want to pay attention to his past actions. He couldn't help but worry.
Although Zhao Bing had to show his power and defeat the enemy in order to "atonate his sins", he was not happy and was more worried. Because he knew that war always had to serve politics, and the biggest politics at present was to maintain the united front and not to cause division, so he had to endure it and pretended to be stupid. But today's victory would probably break the previous situation, make the situation in the court more complicated and add more uncertainty. So as soon as the Yuan army retreated, Zhao Bing quietly escaped without waiting for everyone to congratulate, and ordered people to enter the warehouse and move the ship back to its original position, as if he had never left.
But the matter has been done. Zhao Bing wanted to pretend to be low-key, but others may not agree. For a moment, those who hugged their legs and seek effectiveness all asked someone to find a way to express their loyalty to him, and even did not hesitate to go barefoot to write a letter to "sell" a loyalty. But what disappointed everyone was that His Majesty did not know whether he didn't understand or pretended not to understand, so he didn't take it seriously at all, letting their hard work be wasted...
"Your Majesty, I have something unknown?" After the war, the Yuan army seemed to have been injured and did not attack for two consecutive days, but it still strengthened the blockade and tried to divert the water source on the island, making it more difficult for the Song army to obtain enough fresh water. On the third day, Liu Fu and Deng Guangjian came to see each other, and he asked directly from the point of view.
"If you have any questions, I will ask me!" Zhao Bing saw that the two of them seemed unhappy, so he asked someone to have a tea, and said with a haha.
"Your Majesty, now we have won two consecutive games, and the situation in the court has reversed. Why doesn't your Majesty seize the opportunity to convince everyone?" Liu Fu asked bluntly. He also knew that Your Majesty likes to beat around the bush, but he doesn't like others to go around with him.
"The timing is wrong, it's useless to do it!" Zhao Bing replied with a sip of tea.
"Your Majesty personally came to the court, rushing the army to retreat the enemy, the ministers admired it, and the people surrendered it. It is a good time to win people's hearts. There are indeed a well-educated and ministers who rule the world. Why is Your Majesty wrong?" Deng Guangjian asked curiously. Since he followed His Majesty to the court, although he served as a minister in the Ministry of Rites, he was no different from idleness and was isolated by everyone. But since Your Majesty showed his power, many people immediately attacked his fellow countrymen. In the same year, even those who could not even fight were greeted by him. He knew that these people were not about how capable they were, but about being the title of imperial teacher. However, now His Majesty is weak in the court and is in need of recruiting troops to strengthen his power, so he agreed, but unexpectedly he was rejected by His Majesty.
"Governor Liu thought so too?" Zhao Bing turned around and asked Liu Fu again.
"Well, I have this question too!" Liu Fu nodded and said.
"Okay, what do you think is the most important thing at the moment?" Zhao Bing asked with a sip of tea and looked at the two of them.
"The most important thing at the moment is of course to repel the invading enemy!" Liu Fu replied without thinking.
"No, but have you ever thought about how to retreat to the enemy? Just rely on our guard?" Zhao Bing asked again.
"Of course not enough, so we must recruit people as soon as possible to strengthen our strength, and those people are willing to obey Your Majesty's order!" Deng Guangjian said.
"But you have thought about who are all those who have not come to vote?" Zhao Bing asked with a smile.
"These people include those who followed Chen Xiang, scattered soldiers gathered everywhere, and some civil and military officials in the court!" Liu Fu thought to answer.
"Except those new people, most of the others are dependent on the sects of Taifu Zhang and Liu Xiang. If we take them into our hands at this moment, will you be happy?" Zhao Bing said tea in the cup. He still can't figure out that it would be fine if the Song people drink tea by cooking. And evaluating the quality of tea depends on whether the foam is rich. If you don't know, you think this is beer! Therefore, it is very troublesome to put the foam floating on it or blow it aside when you drink tea.
"The power of the court is the strongest. He holds heavy troops to control the empress dowager; although the six ministers enter the court for a short period of time, they are considered by the civil officials, but they are weaker in the government than Chen Yizhong before. They can only restrain Zhang Shijie, but they cannot completely control the court. Your Majesty can take this opportunity to win people's hearts, compete with them, and gain the right to speak." Liu Fu replied again.
"It would be fine if it was like this on weekdays, but now we are recruiting ministers and establishing another force in the court. At this critical moment, we still have to play the Three Kingdoms and kill them. Now the situation is bad, and any movement will make people uneasy. If they feel threatened by me, if their ideas are reversed, wouldn't they have to make a profit!" Zhao Bing said.
"Oh, so Your Majesty wants to maintain the status quo, that is, you don't let Taifu Zhang feel the pressure from the palace. You can use Wen Xiang to restrain Taifu Zhang and prevent him from moving. If Wen Xiang wants to re-in charge, he cannot do without His Majesty's secret support. But once we recruit publicly, it is equivalent to openly confronting them. Force them to join forces to fight against His Majesty, which will make our situation even more difficult!" Deng Guangjian spent all these days in the court and finally got a clue. He was no longer a stubborn one, and he had to figure it out at a glance.
