When the Mongolian Yuan entered the south of the Yangtze River, there was no such thing as the people resisting the Yuan Dynasty in most areas. Most of the places with the most intense resistance occurred in coastal areas such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and some areas of Sichuan. The reasons include the fact that Kublai Khan issued an edict to slaughter the people at will, and the reason for the increasing corruption and unpopularity of the Song Dynasty. However, Zhao Bing believed that it was because of the marginalized social status of ordinary people, which determined the relative independence of their behavior and living space, and the weak concept of the country.

After Lin'an fell, although the people cried and sent their old master to the north, not only did they not have any organized or sporadic resistance, on the contrary, some people also built temples for Boyan to thank him for not massacre or robbing troops. Boyan also won people's hearts by reducing tax exemptions. Therefore, this response method is mainly based on the speculation that the people thought that the Yuan court would treat them well or that they would become better rulers.

Therefore, it is not advisable to blindly denounce it from the moral level as a thief who willingly recognizes the thief as a father and a shameless slave to the country. However, Zhao Bing still found that when disaster strikes, self-protection becomes the primary consideration of the people; at the moment of political structure changes, the position of the lower class is easily shaken. However, what followed was the greedy nature of the invaders, who seized fertile land and plundered the population as slaves. In an atmosphere of extreme panic, most victims became lambs slaughtered by the Mongols, and the real resistance of ordinary people in most of the occupied areas was still rare.

After the Yuan army completely pacified Jiangnan, with the establishment of a strict ruling system, the Yuan court was revealed and the original form of the Yuan court began to increase taxation and corvee, which made the burden on the people heavier. Some overwhelmed ordinary people began to flee and try to resist, and some uprisings against donations and taxes broke out. However, they had no political goals. Even though they were large at the beginning, they even developed into tens of thousands of people and swept several prefectures and counties, they were often brutally suppressed soon and could not shake the foundation of the Yuan court's rule. Although these uprisings broke the unrealistic fantasies of ordinary people, they did not become a new starting point for national resistance.

Zhao Bing also found that every national disaster is often accompanied by the concentrated release of the bad deeds of the people. During the Yuan army's crazy violence, bad deeds such as robbery, attacking each other and even using enemy forces to harm their compatriots suddenly appeared. It is undeniable that behind the robbery operation is the element of indulgence of the enemy, but the initiative of these robbers themselves cannot be underestimated, especially those gangsters who are invincible for national disasters and have reached the point where they can do everything they can, which is no different from those modern traitors. They are willing to join the enemy in order to achieve the purpose of extortion.

Although the number of such social debris is only a minority among the lower class people and its destructiveness cannot be compared with the atrocities of the Yuan army, the psychological harm to the people is no less than that of the latter, especially the existence of traitors who often go to the government to report, which has aggravated the atmosphere of panic. The people's hatred for them is even more than that of the Mongols. But behind the appearance of numbness and obedience, the undercurrent of national resistance is slowly gathering, and the concept of the country is gradually reviving.

The people at the bottom also realized that the arrival of the Mongols was to plunder their wealth and enslave them at will. During this period, organized uprisings occurred frequently. They either under the banner of restoring the Song Dynasty or establishing their own countries. Although they still failed to get rid of their own narrow-mindedness, they already had a nationalist consciousness and were eager to get rid of the rule of the foreign race, and pointed the finger at the Mongols, and were no longer willing to be their obedience to the people and the slaves of the country. It was at this time that Zhao Bing began to intervene in the rebel army in various places and integrate them for his own use.

In short, the people at the bottom of the society began to fall seriously divided. Between the omnipotent bandits and robbers who often report to the traitors and traitors who often report to those loyal and unyielding women and heroes who sacrifice their lives for justice, the vast majority of the people are in the middle. Then, in the face of the dilemma of either compromise or sacrifice, they pretended to be afraid and obedient on the surface, but their hearts were filled with hatred for foreign rule and hope for national rejuvenation. However, it took them ten years from fantasy to disillusionment until they recognize the true face of the moved ruler.

However, Zhao Bing also realized that civil society itself is a scattered organization with complex components and lacks a clear goal and unified will. The fundamental changes in the power structure during the fall period will inevitably lead to differentiation within the civil society; the aversive relationship between the dominant and the subordinate groups determines that the behavior of the invaders will usually interact in civil society, especially with the continuous adjustment of the dominant policy and the emergence of the consequences, the latter's position and behavior may change.

Therefore, although the current royal army has entered the Yangtze River north, the people are still in a state of waiting and watching. Under such circumstances, they are confused. Therefore, for the people at the bottom, what they leave to them is not all good memories. The corrupt government, heavy taxes, and the soldiers of bandits have become their lingering dreams. Of course, the brutality and bloodthirsty killing and crazy plunder of the Yuan Dynasty also make them hate and fear. However, the current situation and future are not yet determined, so they naturally dare not act rashly, so as not to hurt themselves.

'Civilians, soldiers are the foundation of victory', Zhao Bing now thinks it is true, both are indispensable. To break the current deadlock, he knew that on the one hand, it was military victory, so that the people could recognize the situation; on the other hand, it was to promote benevolent government and establish a clean and efficient government so that the people could see changes; in addition, it was to show kindness to the people, redistribute land, reduce taxes, etc., implement policies that are beneficial to the people, and win the support of the lower classes. What was more important was to promote the orthodoxy of his emperor, and he inherited the foundation of the Song Dynasty, reflecting the justice of this war...

"Wen Xiang, is the current situation similar to that of this Ezhou City?" The warship sailed outside the enemy's firepower range, Zhao Bing opened the porthole and pointed to the majestic city road in front of him.

"Well, Your Majesty's interpretation is very appropriate!" Wen Tianxiang thought for a moment, "We renovated the city to achieve long-term stability, and we were afraid that we would not be strong. But we were easily lost to our opponents. But now the city is still in offensive and defensive positions, and it took a hundred times more effort to recover it again. The same is true for regaining people's hearts!"

"Yes, clean up the old rivers and mountains again. Yue Wumu's words sound simple, but they have a long way to go!" Zhao Bing stood up and looked at the rolling Yangtze River and sighed.

"Your Majesty has always done a good job. I believe that Your Majesty will revive our dynasty, settle the Central Plains in the north, recover Yanyun, and complete unification." Wen Tianxiang said.

"After that being said, this road is too difficult. It took us ten years from Qiongzhou to Jiangnan. After the transition to the south, our ancestors took a hundred years, but they failed to fulfill their ambition to fight the Central Plains!" Zhao Bing turned his face and smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, don't be discouraged. As long as our monarch and ministers work together and our subordinates are united, we will be able to fulfill Your Majesty's ambitions!" Xie Fangde also stood up and advised.

"Your Majesty is in his prime at the age of 2000, so he regained Jiangnan only by relying on a corner of Qiongzhou. Now we occupy Jiangdong, and maybe we can attack the Central Plains in just a few years and recover the old capital!" Xie Ao also cheered the young emperor.

"I'm afraid maybe I don't have that chance?" Zhao Bing shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty is a young man, where are you talking?" Wen Tianxiang said in surprise. Since he set out on the voyage, he found that something was always wrong with the little emperor. He said this again immediately, which shocked him.

"The Wen Xiang may not know anything. There are some disharmonious voices in the court and the country. They questioned that I was incorrect in my position and wanted to join hands with the Queen Mother and the court to discuss this matter again." Zhao Bing sighed lightly.

Since he said this, of course it was not groundless. As early as when he was regaining Shaoxing, he discussed with his ministers about how to govern the newly restored land, the Bureau of Affairs reported it secretly, saying that someone had objected to his confiscation of traitor assets and punishing the township officials who were defiled during the fall. However, at that time, he was frightened by his prestige in the army and did not act without any action. After the regaining of the Land of the United States, some officials of the previous dynasty who had deficiencies and morality wanted to reenter the dynasty, and some people wanted to use the matter to provoke disputes.

"It's unreasonable. Lin'an lost Deyou and Beishou, and all the ministers supported the old Emperor Jingyan ascended the throne in Fuzhou. After his death, His Majesty inherited the throne under the leadership of the Empress Dowager. Your Majesty and the two emperors were both sons of Emperor Duzong, and they were all right. What's wrong with this?" Wen Tianxiang was one of the ministers who supported Emperor Jingyan ascended the throne back then, so he naturally knew about this. Although he was captured at that time, he had not witnessed the succession of the young emperor, he also recognized his status. And no one had questioned it for so many years. The current situation just turned around and brought up the old things again, which made him very angry.

"Your Majesty is diligent in government affairs, and has aspirations. It is obvious to all in the court that the Song Dynasty can only rely on Your Majesty's achievements when it restores the country. But before the great cause is completed, these little kids can't wait to jump out, and their hearts can be killed!" Xie Ao said angrily.

"Your Majesty, I think there must be something strange about it. These people are provoking trouble when the fierce war to restore the country is in full swing, but I am afraid they have ulterior motives." Xie Fangde said.

"Why do you need to say that it is nothing more than interests. The Tartars were rampant that day, and those who fled and those who hid were unwilling to contribute to the country. Now they ran out one by one to ask for officials and money, as if they were fighting the world. It was really shameless!" Chen Dun said angrily, "Some officials colluded with Tartars to protect themselves during the fall, but now they said with a shameless face that they were dedicated to the country and the people, and they were only dealing with the enemy. When the king arrived, they came to contribute. I really didn't know how to write the word "shame"!"

"Now there are still people in the court who have written to impeach several people who have been slaughtered too much and have appointed private individuals. If His Majesty had not suppressed him, you would have been back to the capital long ago..." Chen Dun was still unhappy and pointed at Wen Tianxiang and the other two and said.

"I rude, how can you interrupt here!" Zhao Bing saw that he was about to say something, and interrupted Chen Dun with annoyed face.

"I didn't expect that this happened in the court in just a few months?" Wen Tianxiang pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but complain, "Your Majesty knows that someone wants to do something bad, so you shouldn't leave the center without any help!"

"Haha, in fact, I am tired of sitting in this position. If anyone can continue to fulfill the ambition of the Northern Expedition, I don't mind giving in to him. The current war is urgent and cannot quickly stabilize the Yangtze River defense line. I am afraid that this battle to restore the country will die prematurely, but there is no general in the court to send me, but I have no choice!" Zhao Bing said with a smile.

However, he understood his heart that if he wanted to give up, he had to come up with something real. If a few guys who were trying to make him surrender, wouldn't that be a dream? Even if he didn't want to be this emperor, he was willing and could not have the final say. However, scholars like this indifferent to fame and fortune, so he would cooperate with them.

"Your Majesty is wise, benevolent and righteous, has great ambitions, is diligent in government affairs, and is good at using troops. You must not have the intention to abdicate." Seeing that the little emperor was actually in a state of retreat, Wen Tianxiang bowed and advised him.

"God has mercy on my mercy, so that I can get a wise ruler to restore my Song Dynasty. If anyone is unfavorable to Your Majesty, I will serve the king thousands of miles away no matter where I am. I will never allow a slut to offend Your Majesty and covet the throne." Xie Ao also bowed and said in an unquestionable tone.

"That is, Your Majesty worked hard to restore the country and managed state affairs in his youth and worked hard for the country. How could he tolerate a word that could be erased if he was incorrect? I must argue with them, even if he died!" Xie Fangde said with a serious expression.

"This throne is occupied by those who are virtuous. Since some people think that my virtue is not enough and there are respectable royal families who can accept it, I will never be greedy for this throne. Why should you be obsessed with me and cause a bloody storm?" Zhao Bing raised his hand and told the three of them to be rude.

"Your Majesty is too kind and righteous. If the Battle of Yashan was not destroyed by his efforts, and he would have taken them all in Qiongzhou to avoid being displaced. They did not miss your kindness and wanted to do something wrong, but Your Majesty still had good intentions to him, which is really embarrassing!" Xie Fangde sighed.

"I really don't know what Mr. Ying taught His Majesty. At this time of life and death, I still...ah!" Wen Tianxiang looked even more disappointed, and even Ying Jieyan was blamed.

"Haha, you all don't have to worry about this matter. Now we should think about how to break the city, otherwise we will have to celebrate the New Year in Qiongzhou." Zhao Bing had a clear mind. At least these three people loyally supported him and had the support of a prime minister. Even if someone asked for trouble, it would be much more convenient for him to do things.

"Hey, Your Majesty..." Wen Tianxiang was so angry that he didn't know what to say. When the throne was threatened, the little emperor was thinking about how to fight. He was either a fool or a madman. Otherwise, how big his experience would be to not take this matter seriously.

"Okay, I know Wen Xiang's thoughts. Only when we conquer Ezhou and we will win and return to the court will you have the opportunity to help me!" Zhao Bing said with a sleeved sleeve of Wen Tianxiang.
