Chapter 442: Asking Strategy

The relocation of the Xing Dynasty began on 15 February, and the first two groups of personnel left Yashan for Qiongzhou one after another. Pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info Zhao Yu is not worried about the placement of personnel, he had made preparations when he was in the Xingchao immediately Jingao, although he did it for others to see at that time, but the thing was really done, not only expanded the city of Qiongzhou, but also built the palace and the offices of various ministries and divisions, which were simple and simple, so that everyone could not put a place to put a table. However, the various departments of the Qiongzhou Army have already built a large number of coastal defense measures and camps, and the resettlement of these tens of thousands of soldiers only needs to be squeezed, and they will not be as embarrassed as when they first arrived in Qiongzhou.

As for the people who follow the court, there will not be too many Zhao Yu, and now the most lacking thing in Qiongzhou is not money but people, where there is a lot of undeveloped wasteland and available resources, as long as there are people who can use it. And luck seemed to be on his side, just as they began to evacuate, the people of the state capital near Yashan heard that Xingchao had won a big victory, and many people led the crowd to vote. What surprised him was that some people heard that Zhang Hongfan soldiers surrounded the court, and many volunteers also came to King Qin, although the war was over, but Zhao Yu still gave a reward, everyone was moved, and what made Zhao Yu even more happy was that Jiang Ming, who returned to his hometown to renovate the mausoleum for Jiang Wanzai, also led more than 1,000 children to come, and then he also took the bus to Qianqiong.

On February 25, the last day of the Xing Dynasty's evacuation of Yashan, Zhao Yu led the crowd to the old site of the palace on Yashan Island, where tens of thousands of Song officers and soldiers who died in the battle were buried. Many of the people buried in the tomb have no names, and many of the bodies of the war dead have been swept away by the tide or sunk in the sea, and all that is buried is their clothes, or used dishes and chopsticks, or even just a wooden plaque with their names engraved on it. Because the number of people killed in the battle was too large, the situation of joint burial could only be adopted, and more than ten tall tombs were piled up, and a simple ancestral hall was built in front of the tombs.

Zhao Yu knew that he didn't know if he would have a chance to come back in this life, but only he knew how meaningful this battle was to change history, and there might only be a few words left in the history books: 'The Holy Lord led the army to defeat the enemy army here and beheaded the enemy chief Zhang Hongfan'. Anyone buried here can be called a hero of history, and he should let their fame be celebrated for centuries, so there is this personal sacrifice......

At the beginning of the year, the tide began to recede, and more than 100 warships began to leave the port and sail into the inland sea, and they would use the tide to sail to the open sea to leave the place where they had lived for nearly nine months, which was also the longest stay of the dynasty.

"Lower the flag at half-mast, fire 21 cannons, pay tribute to the heroic souls who died in battle!" The Sheji sailed into the inland sea, and Zhao Yu ordered.

'Boom, boom, ......boom' ballistas were fired into the air, and the rumbling of cannons also drew a final end to the battle.

"Your Majesty, why did you fire twenty-one cannons?" As the last cannon sounded, Zhao Yu put down his right hand to caress his chest, and left the deck and returned to the cabin accompanied by everyone, Ni Liang asked puzzledly.

"Ahem......" Zhao Yu didn't know how to explain after hearing this, he couldn't say that this was because the modern gunboats could only load a maximum of 21 guns, in order to show that they had no hostile intentions, they fired 19 cannons before entering the port to show that their cannons had been emptied.

"Hmm...... This is because we have won the greatest victory since the establishment of the Xing Dynasty after 21 days in this battle, which is a major event that should be recorded in history and shine in history, so we must fire 21 cannons! Zhao Yu looked at Ni Liang's persistent eyes, and then looked at the people around him, knowing that if he didn't give a reasonable explanation, he would definitely regard himself as a willful child who thought of whatever he wanted. After pondering the fact that the battle of Xiaya Mountain had barely closed for twenty-one days from the official start of the battle to the end, he explained it like this, and saw that everyone nodded that this was indeed the case, but he secretly prayed that people in the future would not scold him for being nonsense......

Zheng Yong was not there, and Zhao Yu ordered Chen Renweng to temporarily act as the commander of the formation. Taking advantage of the tide, more than 200 warships rushed out of the mouth of the soup bottle, entered the open sea, regrouped, and sailed into the South China Sea in clusters with the emperor's boat, and each ship hung full sails and sailed to Qiongzhou in the southwest. It would take five days to get there smoothly, and it was a long voyage as the southeast wind prevailed, and the ships had to change course to take advantage of the wind.

"Lu Xiang, sit down!" The long road is the most lonely and boring, and it is also everyone's duty to accompany the emperor to relieve boredom, they entered the lounge of the top cabin, after Zhao Yu sat down, he found that everyone was looking at Lu Xiufu, he didn't dare to sit and others didn't dare to sit, so he pointed to the seat in front of him and said.

"Your Majesty, there is a difference between the monarch and the minister, and the minister does not dare to sit!" Lu Xiufu bowed and replied.

"Hehe, at this time, it's not the palace's right answer, it's not the court, everyone is just chatting, so why be formal!" Zhao Hao smiled. He knew that before the Song Dynasty, everyone could sit at the court meeting, but after the Song Dynasty, the courtiers could only stand, and in the Qing Dynasty, the courtiers had to kneel when they talked to the emperor. Since the establishment of the dynasty, Empress Dowager Yang has to rely on the courtiers for everything, so several important ministers will be given seats at the court meeting. But he is a modern person, he always feels awkward when he sits and lets others stand, and in the past, the deliberations in the house were all said while sitting, and there were no such heavy rules, and he never thought it was a pestle when he was idle.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Xiufu pondered for a moment and said, at the time of the war, he was on the ship, so he naturally knew that His Majesty was easy-going and informal, and if he didn't sit, he would look out of place.

"What does Lu Xiang think is the most important thing after arriving in Qiongzhou?" Most of the courtiers left with the Queen Mother, and there were few people who were qualified to accompany Zhao Yu at this moment, except for Ni Liang, Chen Renweng, Wang De and a few other cronies, that is, Lu Xiufu and Zhao Qiao, Mao Xiang, Gong Xingqing, Liu Dingsun, and the newly arrived Jiang Ming and others. But Lu Xiufu couldn't talk seriously if he wanted to, so he could only ask some serious questions.

"The minister thinks that at present, in addition to reorganizing the army to deal with the war situation, the most important thing is money and food. Now that we are far away from the mainland, Qiongzhou is a barren land, and the output is limited, it will be extremely difficult to supply the entire dynasty and raise troops! Lu Xiufu replied.

"Well, what Lu Xiang said is good, but there is a way to deal with it?" Zhao Yu listened to his answer without thinking, knowing that he must have considered this question, and he was also thinking about how to make money, so he wanted to hear his thoughts first.

"The minister thinks that in addition to increasing taxes, we should also reduce the number of officials, eliminate the old and weak in the army, reduce salaries, save expenses, and reduce the burden on the people!" Lu Xiufu looked at the little emperor and replied...... (To be continued.) )
