After that, Yue Peng and the others returned to the barracks where their respective armies were stationed, and they were all flying pigeons sending messages to the military region.

Zhao Dongting never mentioned the matter of taking the old soldiers to the city.

Dozens of old soldiers died at the gate of the city, and he no longer had the face to invite those old soldiers to the city alone.

Two more days passed.

Although Emperor A Xing and Emperor Ma Yi did not come to Linda Song again, the envoys they sent also arrived in Lin'an Mansion.

Only overseas, the Boni Kingdom, which is far away in the south of Mayi, also sent envoys to arrive.

has always been good friends with the Great Song Dynasty, and when she heard about the Great Song Dynasty military parade, she even planned to come in person, but there was no news this time.

It was impossible for her to come back to Lin'an Mansion.

Zhao Dongting sent the state minister Lu Xiufu as the head to receive the envoys of various countries with a rather grand courtesy.

Although Ma Yi and Liuqiu have now respected Zhao Dongting as the emperor of heaven, they are actually subject countries of the Great Song Dynasty, bowing down to the Great Song Dynasty and paying tribute to the Great Song Dynasty. But the courtesy that should be given, Zhao Dongting will naturally still give them it.

The military parade is scheduled for two days later.

There were many more defenders at the head of the city than before.

Everywhere in Lin'an Mansion is lit up.

The street in front of the palace is even more dazzling.

There are golden tents that are erected on the walls of the royal palace.

Zhao Dongting and others will review the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty here.

On the high city walls, it is divided into several areas. There are the districts of officials of the DPRK and China, the districts of people from the rivers and lakes, the districts of foreign envoys, and the districts of representatives from all walks of life.

Countless people in Lin'an Mansion are looking forward to this.

Under the supervision of the Lin'an government and the defenders, there was no more turmoil in the city.

Two days passed quickly.

It's finally the day of the parade.

Zhao Dongting got up early as usual, and after practicing swordsmanship and internal strength, he took Le Chan, Le Wu, Ying'er, Li Xiushu, Xie Daoqing and others to the palace hall.

Only Turandot was left in the Changsha Imperial Palace.

When they arrived at the main hall, all the civil ministers and military generals of the court were already waiting in the main hall. Ma Yi, Liuqiu, and Bo Ni envoys were also among them.

As soon as Zhao Dongting and the others appeared, the ministers saluted them. Zhao Dongting's eyes swept over everyone, and finally landed on the face of the Bo Ni envoy, smiling and nodding at him.

The Bo mud envoy faced Zhao Dongting with Bo mud etiquette, and opened his mouth to speak quite fluent Chinese, "The Bo mud envoy Mana Sigana has seen the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Bo Ni and the Central Plains have been friends for a long time, and the trade between the two dynasties has never been severed.

Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "No courtesy." On behalf of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, I am here to welcome the arrival of Lord Manasigana. ”

Then he didn't go to the dragon chair, but said to the ministers at the gate of the palace: "Everyone, follow me to the city for a military parade!" ”

With that, he turned his head and led everyone towards the outside of the palace.

The ministers followed one after another.

The envoy of Bo Ni, Manasigana, followed the crowd at first, but then approached Zhao Dongting intentionally or unintentionally.

This was keenly noticed by Zhao Dongting, who already had the cultivation of the True Martial Realm, he looked back and asked Manasigana with a smile: "Does Lord Manasigana have something to say to me?" ”

Manasigana was slightly stunned and said, "Manasigana is here on behalf of our king, and the monarchs of the whole country of Boni are willing to respect you as the emperor of heaven." ”

Zhao Dongting raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is what Lord Manasigana said true?" ”

Although Manasigana and the Central Plains have always had close contacts, he never thought that Bo Ni would suddenly respect him as the Emperor of Heaven.

After all, there is a vast sea area between the land of the Great Song Dynasty and the Bo mud, and even if the Great Song Dynasty soldiers are strong and strong, it is impossible to pose any threat to the Bo mud in a short time.

Manasigana saluted again and said, "Manasigana naturally doesn't dare to speak up. I only hope that after my court bows down to the court, the emperor can help our Boni Kingdom resolve the crisis. ”

Zhao Dongting walked along, with a thoughtful look on his face, "Are you talking about Manchuria?" ”

The situation in the South China Sea Islands is complicated, and Zhao Dongting also knows a little about this.

Although the power of the Great Song Dynasty has now expanded far to the South China Sea Islands, the merchants who come and go can always bring back a lot of news.

In the south of Champa and Chenla, there are more than 10 countries on the coastal territory and sea islands, such as Manraka, Srivijaya and Boni.

Some of these countries are friendly and some are hostile. The intricate relationship between them can be said to be more complex than the situation in the Central Plains.

In the past, the South China Sea was the most prosperous in Funanguo. Only in recent years, the prestige of Funan has deteriorated.

This is all because of the rise of the Manchurian state.

And the state of Manraka was really supported by land countries such as Champa and Chenla, so it flourished. It can even be said that it is a puppet of Champong, Zhenla and other countries.

Now, the Manchurian kingdom is expanding everywhere, and it has the intention of ruling the countries of the South China Sea.

"Exactly."

Manasigana looked at Zhao Dongting with some surprise and said, "Even Emperor Song, do you know the wolf ambitions of the Manraka Kingdom?" ”

Zhao Dongting only nodded slightly, "I heard the people in the merchant fleet mention it." In recent years, Manraka has stirred up turmoil among our countries. ”

Manasigana's eyes showed a little hatred, and he said again: "Manasigana, on behalf of our king, once again begs Emperor Song to help us in the Boni Kingdom and expel Manraka. ”

Zhao Dongting only sighed softly when he heard this, "The Boni Kingdom has always been friendly with our Great Song Dynasty, and of course I don't want to stand idly by. Only Lord Manasigana should also know that my Great Song Navy has just been formed, and I am afraid that I will not be able to sail to Bo Ni to help. Our soldiers are not yet able to adapt to such a naval battle. ”

He looked back at Manasigana, "I hope your lord and the king will understand." ”

"This ......"

Manasigana had a bitter look on his face, but he also knew that what Zhao Dongting said was the truth.

In the past, the Great Song Dynasty was weak and was beaten to the brink of extinction by the Yuan Dynasty, and the navy of Korea and China was even more famous. The current Great Song Navy has really begun to be formed again.

It is impossible for such a recruit to be able to adapt to life at sea in a short time.

Moreover, the generals in the army will inevitably not be very familiar with the maritime environment.

That's a very different situation from fighting on land.

After making a slight groan, Manasigana suddenly thought of something, and said, "Emperor of Heaven, why don't I ask the king to send the most prestigious navigators and admirals in the country to help the Great Song Dynasty train the navy?" ”

Zhao Dongting was slightly stunned, moved, and said with a happy face: "It's best to be like this." ”

He made a promise to Manasigana, "If our Great Song Navy can form a combat force in a short period of time, I will send troops to help your country." ”

Manasigana saluted again, "So, thank you to Your Majesty the Emperor." ”

Zhao Dongting's surrounding Wenchen and military generals were also smiling.

Now there is indeed a lack of generals in the Great Song Dynasty Navy who are familiar with naval warfare, and if the Boni Kingdom is willing to send navigators and generals to teach, it will naturally be a good thing.

Deep in the Bo mud overseas, when it comes to naval warfare, he is undoubtedly quite proficient.

To the palace gates.

There are hundreds of people standing.

These hundreds of people are representatives from all walks of life, and then there are the masters of the twenty-four sects of Wuding who were personally canonized by Zhao Dongting, and the Bauhinia Villa that was additionally added.

The owner of the village, Qi Wulie, is also among them.

Seeing Zhao Dongting arrive, everyone saluted.

Here, but the true martial realm masters of the Wuding Sect are not below the ten.

There are many real martial arts masters in Wudingtang, which can be described as masters.

After Zhao Dongting asked everyone to be exempt, he waved his hand and led everyone to the city.

On the street in front of the palace, there are energetic soldiers of the garrison of Lin'an Mansion.

They put the front street under complete martial law.

The spacious front street was empty.

Only behind the soldiers, but the people were bustling and rubbing shoulders.

There is a grand scene of empty alleys in Lin'an Mansion.

Countless people gathered outside this front street, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a sea of people.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

Zhao Dongting's figure just appeared on the head of the city, and the mountains below the city were shouting like a tide. This shout resounded almost throughout the entire Lin'an Mansion.

Hundreds of soldiers stood under the golden tent, tears welling up in their eyes at this moment.

I think that even when the Great Song Dynasty was at its peak, there had never been such a grand occasion before.

Zhao Dongting waved to the people and soldiers below, and after a while, he took the ministers and masters to sit down.

The walls of the imperial city are also full of people.

There are many people, but they are not chaotic.

After Zhao Dongting and the others sat down, Zhao Dongting just pressed his hand, and the surroundings quieted down.

"Phew!"

The military plane wearing a red cloak made Wen Tianxiang gallop from north to south at the end of the front street, and then suddenly stopped in front of the palace gate.

He raised his head and looked at Zhao Dongting, who was sitting directly above the gate, and shouted, "Your Majesty! The army is ready, please review it! ”
