Butterfly Transformation (1)

The morning sun of late spring almost obliquely shoots on the sea, splashing golden flowers. A gentle breeze rises from the water, mixed with the fishy smell of seawater, blowing on the face, there is an indescribable refreshment.

Chen Yizhong, Lu Xiufu, Zhao Shijun and other ministers who stayed in Quanzhou stood on the shore and looked at the place where the sea and the sky met. Behind them, more than a thousand soldiers, tens of thousands of civilians, surrounded the harbor. Colorful flags and paper ribbons fluttered in the wind, and the wharf was full of joy like a festival, but the gongs, drums, cymbals, and cymbals lay quietly on the wooden frame, refusing to make a sound in advance.

"Not here yet! I don't know if Your Majesty is waiting eagerly! Chen Yizhong looked at the sun that was getting higher and higher above his head with dissatisfaction, and complained secretly in his stomach. Today is the day of the triumph of the Naval Division, he was unwilling to come forward to join in the excitement, but the young emperor Zhao Yu made his own order to personally lead the civil and military officials who stayed in Quanzhou to welcome the warriors of the Great Song Dynasty, so Chen Yizhong had to come to fill the number. People stand on the dock, but their minds are out of step with their surroundings.

As the chief in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, this major event of the conquest of Nanyang was not able to be intervened from beginning to end, which made Chen Yizhong feel very embarrassed. According to Chen Yizhong's plan, when Du Hu and others defeated the Nanyang countries, it was a good time for the people of the Ministry of Rites to show their skills. With the power of the great victory of the sailors, proclaim the benevolence and righteousness of the Chinese kingdom. In this way, those small countries in the South Seas can be convinced, and there will be no two hearts in the future. More importantly, some people in the court who were loyal to the Great Song, such as himself, could take the opportunity to reassert their prestige. Look for an opportunity to push Da Song, who has already embarked on a fork in the road, back on the right track.

Unexpectedly, Wen Tianxiang did not give any power to the Ministry of Rites at all. Under the pretext that a small country is not worthy of condescension, the matter of peace talks was arranged by a Nanyang merchant group. In addition, what made him even more unacceptable was that the Great Song Dynasty actually used great prostitution against the small Nanyang country, cutting off people's cities, killing people, robbing people's property, and completely ruining the image of a country of interests for hundreds of years for a few small money.

"I, the kingdom of China, do such a thing, what is the difference between it and the Northern Yuan beasts?" In the court, Chen Yizhong shouted more than once, hoping that the ministers would stand up and say a fair word. But colleagues don't know whether to succumb to Wen Tianxiang's power or obsessed with the benefits brought by the South Sea route, and few people stand up to respond. Even if someone occasionally takes Chen Yizhong's words, they are all small characters who can't set off the wind and waves, and they can't push the ministers to come up with a resolution to stop Wen Tianxiang's reckless behavior.

"This shelf is too big, I know that His Majesty is waiting on the dock!" As if hearing Chen Yi's thoughts, there were courtiers beside him. Chen Yizhong turned his head, and through the cover of the black veil, he saw the angry face of Yang Gu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

"Don't people have military exploits, besides, there are no more things at sea than on land, and there are many things that delay the trip!" Someone whispered for the water master to distinguish, and there was clearly a bit of sour taste in his words.

"War exploits, what war exploits, although the country is strong, the belligerent will die, don't you remember this ancient motto. Our Great Song Dynasty has just gained a firm foothold in Fujian and Liangguang, and if we don't seize the time to recuperate, we will fight together in the south and north. You see, there is a few pieces of silver left in the treasury. Besides, robbing people of money and things, how can it be done by my thousand-year-old country in China!" Yang Gu peeked at Chen Yizhong, knowing that his boss was listening to him, and quietly raised his voice.

"Yes, yes, when Qin Shi Huang was unified, what about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sweeping the desert, and it was not to make the people suffer. The way of a saint is not in words, but in ...."

The sun suddenly became hot, and Chen Yizhong obviously felt that there was wet sweat gushing under the official robe. I wanted to say something with a summary or euphemism to persuade me, but I was just about to say something, when suddenly, a cough came from my side.

"Hmm!" A heavy cough drowned out all talk. Lu Xiufu wrenched his face, swept his gaze around, and forced all the inappropriate voices back into the speaker's throat.

Lu Xiufu also did not understand the purpose of Wen Tianxiang's series of military actions in the South Seas. But past experience told him that Wen Tianxiang's grasp of the battle situation and judgment of the situation were far higher than those of the people in the Xing Dynasty. As long as what he does is beneficial to the country, Lu Xiufu is willing to give full obedience and support within the scope of his ability.

Moreover, in the arrangement of welcoming the triumph of the soldiers this time, the young emperor had a deep meaning. When the young emperor grew up, he already knew how to win over the soldiers and buy the hearts of the people. Although this may not have any effect, Lu Xiufu still hopes that the ministers can stand in the emperor's perspective and understand his painstaking efforts. And don't put your spirit all on the side of your tongue.

"Here, over there, under that white cloud!" There was a sharp-eyed man shouting from the crowd.

"Where, where!" The people moved at once, crowded each other, lifted their toes, and looked into the distance. The crowd swelled towards the water's edge, and was pushed back into place by the soldiers who maintained order. Zhang De, the general of the town hall, brandished a golden gourd and viciously made threatening gestures to the people.

"Retreat, retreat, long live here. Alarm the Holy Driver and kill him! The guards shouted loudly to maintain order. People laughed with kindness, but they weren't really afraid of the blades in the hands of the guards. The Great Song Dynasty has not conquered other countries for many years, and it is rare to have a chance to shock the Quartet, and the people feel happy. Moreover, the Metropolitan Governor was at war with a foreign country this time, and he did not recruit a single big seed from the people. (Commonly known for copper coins)

"Over there, over there, there are seagulls circling. The one that shines with gold is! "Someone jumped on his feet, pointing and showing off. The crowd was even more chaotic, and countless people were on tiptoe, stretching their necks, still not seeing anything. But the joyous atmosphere rose from the crowd and spread in all directions. (please go to support alcoholics)

In the expectant gaze of everyone, a little mast with golden light poked out of the water, and then there was a corner of cloud sail, golden and yellow, rendered particularly brilliant by the rising sun.

A corner, a piece, a heavy, more than a dozen cloud sails slowly rose from the junction of the sea and the sky, with the joy of going home, with the sunshine full of masts.

For a moment, the sun seemed so dazzling. Someone grabbed the sleeve of the coarse cloth coat and gently wiped the corners of his eyes. The soldiers who maintained order were pushed forward and backward by the people, and the palace guards around the viewing platform were so nervous that their arms were entangled, lest a mistake make the fanatical people rush into the viewing platform and disturb the holy car.

The eunuchs were so anxious that they were sweating and gathered around Zhao Hao, blocking the almost ignited air for him. The young emperor Zhao Yu didn't appreciate it, stretched out his hand to pull the eunuch aside, and shouted in a childish childish voice: "Beat the drums, play music!" Welcome me to the triumph of the Great Song Warriors! ”

The earth-shattering drums sounded from the pier, and the drummers threw off their arms and played a windy melody with joy in their arms.

Suona, gongs, cymbals, and cymbals rang out together, stirring up a huge wave of carnival on the dock.

"Fubo only wishes that the body will be returned, why should Dingyuan be born and enter the customs, Mo Fei will only return to the sea cave, and still leave an arrow to set the Tianshan Mountain!" Under the organization of the eunuchs, the court musicians played a majestic song.

After crossing to the south, the court music was more euphemistic and sad. The young emperor Zhao Yu didn't like to listen to it, so the musicians in the Quanzhou Palace abandoned it and replaced it with the sound of the golden iron horse of the Tang Dynasty. At this moment, it was just in response to the atmosphere of the triumphant return, and I heard the blood of the civil officials, and the small contradictions caused by the distribution of power in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion were all forgotten for a while.

In the sound of music, more than 30 warships entered the port one after another. The sailors knew that His Majesty the Emperor had come to pick them up in person, and their eyes were red with excitement, and one by one they took out their cleanest and sassiest postures and stood straight on the deck. The majestic figure and the huge battleship make it even more handsome and upright. provoked the crowd to scream constantly, and some daughters of maritime merchants in Dashi, Persia and other places even threw their handkerchiefs directly to the sea.

Amid cheers, the battleship leaned against the trestle, and the soldiers lowered their pedals. Du Hu, Miao Chun, Fang Sheng, Su Gang, Zhang Xuan and other major generals lined up, slowly walked down the trestle, came to the hundred officials, and bowed to Zhao Hao, who was sitting on a high place and clapping his hands.

Gongs and drums, cheers and cheers stopped abruptly. Du Hu's magnetic voice happened to clearly reach the ears of the people near the viewing platform. "Your Majesty, the last general was ordered to inspect the South Seas and open up the southern shipping route for the Great Song Dynasty. It lasted three months and twelve days, but fortunately it was not disgraced! ”

More than a dozen officers of the Sailor Division bowed down at the same time and placed their right hands on their left chests. This is a common military salute for the Broken Army, and when you are in uniform, you will be treated with this courtesy when you meet your boss at any level.

They didn't kneel, someone responded soberly. However, I feel that men in the army should not be kowtowers, and only by bowing down and clenching fists like Du Hu can they show their masculinity.

Zhao Yu paused obviously, and then shouted happily: "All the generals are exempt, since you went to sea, I am looking forward to your good news, come here, pour wine for the generals!" ”

A cheer erupted in the crowd, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites led dozens of eunuchs to pick up several large jars of daughter red, and poured them into the magnetic bowl in front of Du Hu and the others one by one.

Zhao Yu shook off the support of the personal eunuch and slowly walked down the steps. Picked up the bowl, raised it one by one, personally put the wine bowl in the hands of Du Hu and others, and then, he picked up a big bowl, looked around, and said in a childish and honest childish voice: "I respect you, the first bowl, I respect the soldiers who died for the country in the naval battle, I wish them their heroic souls are always there, and they will always bless the Great Song Dynasty!" With that, he squatted down and spilled a full bowl of wine on the ground.

"Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" Du Hu and the others said emotionally. Pick up the bowl, turn it over, then crouch down and spill the wine into the sea.

The noisy crowd instantly became silent, and even the sound of people's breathing could be heard. On deck, some soldiers turned their backs and quietly wiped tears from their faces. The people who experienced the resurrection of the Great Song Dynasty had tears in their eyes, and spread Zhao Yu's words from near to far, and everyone was moved.

"Hooray!" Someone took the lead in giving a cheer.

"Hooray!" "Da Song!" "Da Song!" "Hooray!" The cheers were unheard. In the admiring eyes of everyone, Zhao Yu picked up the second bowl of wine, cocked his toes, and shouted to Du Hu and others: "Second bowl, I salute all the heroes who have returned alive, for your great cause, and for the prosperity of my Great Song Dynasty!" ”

With that, he took the lead and drank the bowl full of wine in one gulp.

"Hooray!" Miao Chun let out an exclamation, wanting to grab the bowl, but he was in front of everyone. Moved to wipe away his tears, followed Du Hu and others to pour the wine into their stomachs.

The crowd was almost boiling, and some people couldn't stop shouting long live, and some people couldn't stop shouting about the official positions of Du Hu and others.

"General Du, General Miao, hard work!"

"The Broken Army, the Broken Army is hard!"

People shouted tirelessly. For many years, I finally saw that the Great Song Dynasty conquered other people's countries, instead of being beaten by others and hiding in Tibet.

"The third bowl, I salute all the strong men on board. I wish you all the best to kill thieves for the country in the future and raise the prestige of our country! The drunken Zhao Yu picked up another bowl of wine and poured it into his mouth. The officials of the Ministry of Rites took the people and placed a jar of wine on the side of the trestle.

"Long live thanks!" The sailors on the deck put their fists in their chests at the same time and saluted Zhao Hao. Then the low-level generals organized the wine jar to be lifted to the deck in an orderly manner.

The crowd was almost boiling, and the sound of gongs, drums, and firecrackers was intertwined, which was more lively than the New Year.

In the midst of the noise, Zhao Yu once again shook off the eunuch who was trying to support him, walked across the trestle, and staggered towards the sailors. The sun shone on his golden dragon robe, which looked so holy and peaceful.

At this moment, dozens more white sails sailed into the harbor, or four thousand, or two thousand, and the waterline was so deep that it was almost close to the lower deck.

Chen Fusong stood on the top of the bow of the large ship at the very front, saluted the emperor standing, and then bowed around, put his hands to his mouth, and shouted loudly: "I have seen Your Majesty, I have seen my fathers and fellow villagers, on the orders of the Grand Governor, the Nanyang Merchant Group has brought back the spoils of war to everyone!" ”

"What, loot?" The cheers of the people gradually subsided. Ask each other in confusion. The Great Song Dynasty fought against foreign countries and rarely won a victory. Occasionally, the gang of bandits is exterminated, and the sacrifice of prisoners and heroes is also to the government, what is the matter with the people?

Just when he was puzzled, he heard Chen Fusong shouting at the top of his voice: "The Nanyang countries will pay us one million stone of grain, 20,000 taels of gold and 400,000 taels of silver, which will be paid in five years, and a number of other materials." The first batch of indemnity, together with the merchant group, brought back to everyone! ”

"What, grain!" Chen Yizhong's body shook involuntarily. I heard a cheer and a roar. The crowd shouted and chanted, repeating the names of Du Hu, Chen Fusong, Wen Tianxiang and others over and over again. The blessings to the Great Song Emperor Zhao Yu and the Great Song Dynasty were repeated over and over again.

Soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and belligerents will die, since childhood, the books Chen Yizhong has read are full of such aphorisms and aphorisms. For the first time in his life, he discovered that fighting a war could also benefit the country and the people. looked up at Yang Gu and the others who had just criticized Wen Tianxiang's abuse of force, but found that these guys who had fallen with the wind had already picked up the sea bowl and drank with the sailor generals.

"His grandmother's, this time it's a big loss!" In the crowd, several rice merchants muttered quietly, complaining about the injustice of fate. Fujian is short of grain, and although the Metropolitan Governor's Office has repeatedly ordered that hoarding is strictly prohibited, many merchants still do their best to preserve grain.

Just eating fish, the people are not used to it. In the past two years, the government has encouraged the people to try to plant Zhancheng rice in the small plains near Fuzhou and Quanzhou, as well as in Liuqiu and Liangguang, but no results have been seen in a short period of time. Based on experience, the merchants felt that the price of grain could not be lowered for a while. But as soon as Chen Fusong's figure of one million stone compensation came out, everyone knew that the price of grain was about to jump into the sea. Although it will take five years or more for the Nanyang countries to repay the grain, the panic of the people is gone, and the grain hidden from the people will immediately circulate to the market. Coupled with the hundreds of thousands of stones that came back with the ship, even if there was another poor harvest, it would not be able to raise the price of grain to yesterday's price.

"It's bad, the thief has food, and he is going to go north!" Several people dressed as Taoist priests flashed out of the crowd. They are disciples of Longhu Mountain, and at the same time, they are tasked with spying on intelligence for Beiyuan. They were going to get the news to the north as fast as they could.

A few dock workers, people dressed as shop guys, nodded to each other knowingly, and quietly followed behind the Taoist priests. "Tonight, Lord Liu's place is open again, double happiness is coming!" The secretary of the Interior who led the team thought with a smile.

Their figures were soon overwhelmed by hundreds of thousands of people. Since the day of the liberation, Quanzhou City has never been so lively. Although only a few dozen large businesses participated in the Nanyang operation, only a few hundred people benefited directly. But the strength of the country is, after all, linked to the interests of the people. Watching others benefit from the strength of the country today, who knows that tomorrow the benefits will not fall on their heads. Moreover, the price of food immediately dropped, the clogged sea routes were opened again, and the fate of each person, the trade, the opportunity to work, and the fate of each person were inextricably linked to the rise and fall of the country.

The prosperity of this country also has a share of my benefits, and countless people are faintly aware of this. In my heart, for the first time, I was proud of why I was a Chinese, and I had a reason that I could see and touch.

That afternoon, all the hotels in Quanzhou were full. Some clever restaurants even put their tables on the side of the road and don't sell dishes, only drinks. Even so, the guys were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground. Because of the rise in food prices, the soju that was so high that few people cared about it was also sold out. Many people drank and wrote impassioned verses on the side of the road.

I am from the Song Dynasty, a native of Huaxia, and when people say this, they have never had such a strong sense of belonging. Even in the years that followed, no matter whether the army was smooth sailing or encountered twists and turns, most of the peddlers and pawns who did not care about the political situation, and those traders and courtesans who only regarded the pain of losing the country as a change of place to pay taxes, most of them firmly chose to stand with the Great Song Dynasty and Huaxia.

I am a native of the Song Dynasty, and it is the first time that the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty have traveled to the coastal countries to declare their names so proudly. When encountering the oppression of the other party's government, he often asks sternly, "Do you know that the Great Song Dynasty Sailor is not far from here?" ”、

The next morning, more than 200 merchant ships that had been waiting for a long time left Quanzhou and sailed out into the vast sea with confidence. Some of them sailed to the countries of the South Seas, some sailed to the big and small Tianzhu, and some sailed through the wind and waves to the legendary heavens. No matter where the target is, a big flag with a blue background is raised on the tip of the mast of each ship. On the flag, there is a Great Wall, a bright moon, and a strong "Song" character.

The maritime merchants believed that with this Song character as protection, the coastal demons and monsters would retreat.
