The afterglow of the setting sun spread across the southern city of Quanzhou. The Huangluo umbrella is still there, but the emperor below is gone.Ww    W.

BiQuGe.

The battle in the Pu Mansion was over at this moment, but the northern city was still in fierce battle, and the martial law was still not lifted. There were no pedestrians except the Song army soldiers patrolling the streets in the city. Occasionally, some people opened the doors and windows and looked out, but they were immediately scolded by the soldiers on the street, and they hurriedly retreated and closed the doors and windows. At this time, a cavalry was escorting several carriages. If it weren't for those who were familiar with the Qiongzhou army, it would be difficult to tell that they were His Majesty's guard camp, and the emperor was sitting in the car.

"Ahem..."

"Sir, I just want to see what's going on outside!" Hearing Ying Jieyan's cough, Zhao Bing quickly put down his hand pulling the curtain and said with a sneer.

"Your Majesty, have you remembered what you said just now? As a monarch, you must be trustworthy." Ying Jieyan, who was sitting opposite, said with a drooping face. The news of Pu Mansion being 'liberated' came from the city. The little emperor wanted to inspect it. Everyone advised him for a long time. In the end, he could only make three rules: he must not expose his whereabouts, do not act alone, and do not approach the crowd. He concealed his whereabouts and entered the city after he agreed, but he violated the rules in a short while.

"Sir, calm down, I won't look at it!" Zhao Bing knew that he would agree as soon as possible, otherwise he would be taught a lesson again.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I am willing to restrain Your Majesty, but that the city is really dangerous. The war in the mansion has just ended. Although it has been cleared, there are inevitably no places. If there is any mistake, how can I explain to the Empress Dowager, how do I explain to the civil and military officials in the court, and how can I be worthy of being listed as the late emperor!" Ying Jieyan was also the master of His Majesty. This time he followed the army to the Eastern Expedition and felt that he had a great responsibility, so he could not be careless.

"Sir, there are so many masters around me, and there are so many masters like me who are accompanying me, how can those little kids get close to me? Even if they come, they are still not defeated by Mr.!" Zhao Bing gestured with both hands and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you will have your own strength. Who dares to claim to be invincible? My old arms and legs are useless!" Ying Jieyan was amused and cryed by the little emperor and said with a bitter face.

"Hey, sir, I'm so modest. Master Yuanmiao highly praised sir. He said that if he wasn't a few years younger, he wouldn't dare say that he could beat sir!" Zhao Bing said seriously.

"This monk really dares to boast!" Ying Jieyan smiled.

"Sir, is Master Yuanmiao bragging? He is no match for Mr.?" Zhao Bing leaned over and whispered.

"Haha, the monk is not a false statement, but it is not easy for him to defeat me!" Ying Jieyan said with a chuckling.

"Amitabha, the monk will ask for advice from the donor in the future!" Yuan Miaodi's voice suddenly came from outside the car.

"Monk, drive well, I won't accompany you crazy!" Ying Jieyan shook his head and said, why did he forget that Yuan Miao put on makeup and drove the car today?

"Sir, are you afraid?" Yuan Miao asked through the curtain.

"Why are you afraid? You are afraid that you will hang yourself if you lose!" Ying Jieyan said angrily after hearing this.

"Amitabha, then the donor responded!" Yuan Miao ignored that, and regarded ridicule as Ying Jieyan's challenge.

"Oh, I'm talking too much, so I'd better not..." Zhao Bing heard that he was going to be bad, and the two masters were going to take action. This really corresponds to the statement that Wen Wu is the first and second in martial arts. After all, the old man is also the top scorer in both civil and military affairs. He still has the heroic spirit of a martial artist in his bones, but they are not good at fighting, so he quickly persuaded him to fight.

"A gentleman promises!"

"It's hard to chase after all!"

Before Zhao Bing finished speaking, the two had officially made a fight, and he didn't dare to speak anymore. The fight outside was tight now, and if they fought again, wouldn't it be bad for them to fight again? Fortunately, the distance was not far, and the car turned a few turns and drove directly to the gate of Pu Mansion. But now it's easy to get in, so I didn't even have to open the door, so I went in directly. But the car did not stop, and I followed the road in the mansion to the middle hall before I stopped, so that Zhao Bing could not see the legendary prosperity and breadth of Pu Mansion.

"I will meet your Majesty!" Because the ban order was issued in advance, the whereabouts of Your Majesty were not allowed to be revealed, and the news that Your Majesty had entered the city was not allowed to be spread. Therefore, only Zhang Shijie, Zhao Mengjin and Chen Fenglin came to welcome several generals and above, and the guard was also served by the Central Army's personal guards. They only claimed that Your Majesty sent important officials to inspect and accept the Pu Mansion.

"Thank you all for a day of fierce fighting, thank you for your hard work, get up quickly!" As soon as Zhao Bing got off the car, Zhang Shijie and the generals of the Central Army were already waiting there and came forward to greet him. He hurried forward to help him one by one.

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. I have captured Pu Mansion as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the Pu thief committed suicide and was unable to offer prisoners in front of Your Majesty's stairs." Zhang Shijie reported with great regret.

"Oh, dead? That's a bargain, otherwise he would be cut into pieces and pay tribute to those heroes who died!" Zhao Bing frowned and said viciously.

"Your Majesty, this is not a place for talking. Please go upstairs and talk again!" Ying Jieyan looked around vigilantly. The front and back of the central hall and the surrounding roofs were filled with guards. The guards quickly took over the defense in the hall. He still did not dare to be careless and urged.

"What the Master should say is that the war has just subsided. Please ask Your Majesty to go upstairs, so it is safer there!" Zhang Shijie said quickly after hearing this.

"Okay!" Zhao Bing looked around with some unsatisfactory thought, and said unhappyly that he wanted to inspect the battlefield and then condolence to the generals who participated in the war, but he said that he would "follow the command in all actions" first, so he could only follow them in.

The central hall is the place where the guests are welcomed and the ceremony is held in the mansion. Zhao Bing felt very uncomfortable when he climbed up the stairs. He became the emperor and the palaces he built in Qiongzhou were not as big as his, let alone any majestic and solemn. After entering, he was even more envious and jealous, and sighed that it was great to have money. There seemed to be no fierce battle here. The tables, chairs, doors and windows were basically preserved, and all the decorations were still intact.

Of course, Zhao Bing knew that he was the emperor, so he could not lie in front of him like a country bumpkin who had first entered the city. Although he swallowed his saliva, he just glanced at him as if he was nothing and sat directly in the seat. But he also saw that the Pu family was not a tyrant, and the decoration was like a rich man, with gold and silver everywhere, but low-key, revealing elegance and wealth in peace. This allowed you to appreciate the strength of his family and feel the invisible pressure, but not to appear ostentatious and domineering, and everything seemed just right.

After everyone sat down, Zhang Shijie first reported the results to His Majesty. In this battle, he wiped out the remnants of Quanzhou's army and Pu's private soldiers, killed 3,000 enemies and captured more than 2,000 enemies. Among them, Lin Chunzi, an important aide to Pu Shougen, captured Wang Yu, the private soldiers and generals of Wang Yu, and arrested thousands of family members of Pu's family and servants, all of whom were imprisoned in the military camps in the mansion, waiting for identification and interrogation. At the same time, countless weapons, armor and a batch of property were seized. The granaries and houses were closed, and soldiers were sent to guard and wait for the imperial court to send personnel to count them. However, after the search, Pu Shougen's second son, Wanhu Shisi, his sons and nephews, grandchildren and other males were not found.

Then Zhao Mengjin talked about the process of conquering the last stronghold of Pu Mansion, Lishu Temple. After using Zhang Shijie to control the key points, conquering one place and consolidate one place, the army successively entered the battle. The enemy's plan to delay time through street fighting was bankrupt. Except for the annihilated, all retreated into Lishu Temple to continue to resist. This Lishu Temple was built after the Pu family moved to Quanzhou. In addition to being a place of prayer, it was also a refuge for harassment to pirates. Therefore, they were all built with stones, three floors high and more than four meters high, which was very strong. Even if you use a crossbow, it was difficult to completely destroy it in a short time.

According to the prisoner's investigation, Pu Shougeng, his confidants and family were all hiding in it, so it was only the battle to conquer Lishu Temple in this battle. Therefore, some people suggested using fire to attack, pile up firewood and grass around, pour tinder oil, and even if they could not burn them, they would smoke them all in it. But this was quickly rejected. It was said that Lishu Temple had the most valuable things in Pu Mansion. It would be a pity if a fire burned at the last moment.

Some people suggested that the method of siege was simply used to cut off the water source and force them out. However, this method was rejected by Zhang Shijie. At the moment, the enemy's reinforcements were approaching. Their main task was to rescue Pu Shougeng. Only by slaughtering him as soon as possible can the enemy's idea be cut off. Not to mention that retreating can at least reduce the pressure on defending the army. The siege ranged from three to five days, at most ten days, and even took longer. This also violated the principle of fighting the Majesty's battle and quick withdrawal. It was entangled with the enemy for too long. Once the rainy season came, it would be difficult to withdraw back to Qiongzhou in time.

Seeing that the time limit was approaching, everyone decided to try a strong attack. They chose the main attack point at the main gate, used the crossbows to blow the door open, suppressed it with archers, and then forcibly break in. The plan was decided, and the attack was immediately launched. Several main generals came forward to watch the battle himself. They used a heavy crossbow to shoot twenty kilograms of stone bullets. After several rounds of shooting, they smashed the stone-clad door into several pieces, and then formed a shield formation to launch a shield. At this time, the windows and terrace doors on the upper floors opened one after another. They thought that the enemy soldiers who were defending wanted to shoot arrows, or threw wooden rocks to block the attack of the Song army, but they did not expect that what was spilled was gold, silver and strings of copper coins...

"I cannot help but admire Your Majesty's military management skills." Zhao Mengjin said this, Zhang Shijie stood up and saluted, "When I saw the gold and silver sprinkling like rain, I would say that my heart was in my throat, worried that they would stop picking up and be shot by the enemy, and thus failed. However, the soldiers were still looking at nothing and still bravely moved forward. No one stopped to pick up the gold and silver on the ground, let alone scrambled to fight, but they rushed into the temple with gold and silver on the ground. When Pu Shougeng saw that he was powerless to turn the sky, he actually committed suicide by taking poison!"

"Sir Shu, this is not a big deal, it is because the Qiongzhou Army has always been like this. Just say that when we were on the plague ship that day, Your Majesty withdrew his troops with the right time and place, destroying the enemy warships and seizing a batch of property. However, Your Majesty did not hide it privately, but now he asked Governor Liu to share it with everyone and leave part of the compensation for the losses on the merchant ship. From then on, everyone knows that Your Majesty has clear rewards and punishments, and is fair in doing things, so he never hides his own troops. Anyone who seizes it will be handed over to the mansion!" Zhao Mengjin said with a smile.

"When the army was formed in Jiazi, Your Majesty set eight iron laws: one, respect the class and keep orders; two, do not rob, do not disturb the people; three, join the army and do not tattoo; four, prohibit the law and match the people; five, prohibit the debt of the imperial guards, private service soldiers; six, prohibit lynching, explicit rewards and punishments; seven, prohibit private hiding, prohibit theft; eight, prohibit local hiding, prevent epidemic diseases. It is necessary to strictly abide by it. If you cannot be subject to this constraint, you can leave and never force it to stay. Therefore, this is voluntary compliance by everyone, not blindly compulsory and punished by punishment. Although there has been a few military expansions since then, this iron law is still voluntarily followed by the upper and lower levels. Not to mention that in the public's eyes, no one will hide their own private affairs even if they are alone!"

"Hey, that's not my contribution. This is the joint maintenance of the generals, so this is achieved!" Zhao Bing's ears turned red after hearing this. He was not as honest as Zhao Mengjin said. He, Zheng Huchen and Zhuang Shilin, brought all the gold and silver he had hidden, and he also accepted them all. Of course, there were also things that secretly stole property in Guangzhou. They were all kept in the inner palace. Although they were all used in the general's mansion, the things they did were still not very authentic.

"Alas, I have been in the army for 30 years but my Majesty has not understood. I just blindly use severe punishments or rewards to encourage soldiers, but it is still difficult to control the army. The last time I attacked Quanzhou, I used 50,000 troops, and tens of thousands of volunteers from She people and various volunteers. After three months of siege, I lost thousands of soldiers and returned without success. At that time, I only blamed the unwillingness of each unit for refusing to use his life. The volunteers and brave men were unable to assist, but I did not think that I would be unable to control the enemy and eventually suffered defeat!" Zhang Shijie sighed and actually started self-criticism, which surprised everyone.

"Supervisor Shu doesn't have to blame himself too much. The military management is not achieved overnight. He also needs to make plans for a long time!" Ying Jieyan interrupted, "Shi Si is likely to have escaped from the mansion at the moment, but the city is surrounded and is not open yet. As long as he is in the city for a day, it will be a problem. He still has many killers in his hands. He will look for an opportunity to assassinate His Majesty. He should launch a search in the city as soon as possible and must not let him succeed."

"What should be said is that none of the three brothers of the Pu family were arrested, especially this division is extremely fierce and vicious. He will retaliate when he learned that his father was dead. The enemy reinforcements have arrived. If they cooperate inside and outside to aid the capital and break the city, the most important thing should be to launch a large-scale search across the city and capture him!" Zhang Shijie agreed.
