More drums, it's already time. But at this moment, the lights on the Yanziji Water Village Wharf in Jiankang are bright, which echoes the blazing Guabu Town on the opposite bank. Zhao Yu stood on the shore of the wharf, watching the batches of ferries sail off the shore to the opposite shore, and returned to the port again and again full of people and materials.

"Your Majesty, this is the last batch of troops to be withdrawn, let's go to the tent and rest for a while!" Liu Tong, who commanded the crossing of the river, jumped ashore from the pilot boat, and when he saw that the emperor was still at the dock, he stepped forward to give a salute and pointed to the fleet that was about to dock.

"No, are there any people left on the other side?" Zhao Yu waved his hand and asked.

"Your Majesty, at the time of the withdrawal of the army, all the departments have searched the whole town, and all those who can be found and are willing to return to Jiangnan are concentrated at the ferry, and the wounded soldiers are sent back in batches, and the humble post has confirmed that all the people on the ferry on the other side have crossed the river!" Liu Tong replied.

"How many people have been withdrawn?" Zhao Hao asked again.

"Your Majesty, there are more than 700 households in Jiangbei, with a population of 3,423 people, of which Ding Zhuang has more than 1,600 people, all of whom have been registered!" Liu Tong replied.

"Well, you're doing a great job!" Zhao Yu nodded in praise.

"Your Majesty, this battle underestimated the situation and did not plan well, I didn't expect this battle to be so difficult, and I didn't expect so many people to join me, and I didn't expect that so many people would join me, and I failed to dispatch ships in time, resulting in insufficient transportation capacity and slow withdrawal of troops, and I ask Your Majesty to punish you." Liu Tong saluted again.

"This battle has also exceeded my expectations, and it is not your fault. And you were able to quickly collect hundreds of large and small ships in the midst of the chaos, which is already very good, and you deserve no punishment! Zhao Yu smiled reluctantly. In his imagination, this battle should have been a clean and short assault, and the retreat had ended before even waiting for the arrival of enemy reinforcements, but the fact was indeed mud and water, grinding and chirping, increasing troops twice, mobilizing more than 9,000 troops in one division, and almost taking one day and one night to complete the battle plan.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates!" While speaking, the ships entered the port one after another, and Chen Fenglin stepped forward to pay respects.

"Hmm!" Zhao Yu raised his hand to return the salute and glanced at the generals below.

"Your Majesty has been disappointed by his subordinates." The emperor didn't even ask, let alone praise, coupled with His Majesty's cold eyes, which made Chen Fenglin feel bad, and hurriedly excused himself.

"Let's go in and rest!" Zhao Yu didn't say anything, just let them enter the account to rest.

"Your Majesty is still welcoming back the returning officers and soldiers, how dare your subordinates go to rest!" Chen Fenglin didn't dare to leave, but stood aside and said, "Your Majesty, the results of this battle can be described as brilliant, not only almost completely annihilated more than 2,000 of Habichi's thousands of households, and severely damaged a part of Duge's Wanhu Mansion, but also copied their warehouses, seized 50,000 stones of grain, about 500,000 pieces of gold and silver, more than 700 war horses, and more than 500 cattle. And brought all the households he belonged to back to Jiangnan, and burned Guabu Town to the ground in white with another fire, and I am afraid that it will not be able to recover without a few years of hard work. ”

"What about our casualties?" Zhao Hao turned his face to look at him, and asked with a pursed mouth.

"Your Majesty, our army has lost more than 30 people killed and more than 200 wounded." Chen Fenglin thought for a moment.

"Oh, so do you think this battle is a win or a loss?" Zhao Hao asked with a sneer.

"Subordinate...... The subordinates thought they were invincible and undefeated! Chen Fenglin listened to the emperor's words and said unconfidently for a moment.

"A rescue operation with a handle in hand has finally turned into a grass valley, and you have changed your career to occupy the mountain as the king, I think it is very suitable!" Zhao Yu said with a chuckle. In fact, he also has a fire in his heart, this battle is strictly a political war, not a simple rescue operation, but now the host and guest have changed their taste, which greatly reduces the political significance of this battle.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates have failed to realize Your Majesty's strategic intentions, and you are willing to take all responsibilities!" Chen Fenglin said. He knew that His Majesty had come thousands of miles here to rescue the trapped people, and he was also under a lot of pressure. The casualties paid now are far greater than those rescued, and this will arouse doubts in the government and the opposition, believing that it is wrong to pay a huge price to rescue a dozen people who have almost no chance of survival, and it is also an extremely irresponsible act for the sacrificed soldiers.

"I'm a man who knocks out his teeth and swallows it in his stomach, not a coward who lets others carry the black cauldron!" Zhao Yu said a little angrily.

"My subordinates know that Your Majesty has always been responsible, but my subordinates don't want Your Majesty's prestige to be damaged!" Chen Fenglin said solemnly.

"Compared to the reputation of those fallen soldiers, it is important that you find out the source of your mistakes!" When Zhao Yu saw his appearance, his heart was still soft, but he still said sharply with a straight face.

"See Your Majesty!" At this time, the group of people after the second division was broken also landed one after another, and Li Hongbin led the generals to come forward and salute.

"Hmm!" After Zhao Yu raised his hand to return the salute, he stepped forward and walked in front of them, but did not stop in front of the two chief officials of Dutong Li Hongbin and Duyu Hou Yanyue, but stood in front of Sima Li Lei, looked him up and down, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's hard work, there is indeed a talent!" ”

"Your Majesty praises it, the humble duty is just to abide by the duty!" Receiving His Majesty's personal praise, Li Lei was a little excited, but he still replied with a salute without humility or arrogance.

"Sima Li must not be rude, how can he answer His Majesty like this!" Yan Yue, who was beside him, reprimanded in a deep voice.

"Xiaguan knows!" Li Lei turned around and nodded to him.

"Li Sima doesn't know the etiquette, I hope Your Majesty will not blame him, and he will make amends on his behalf!" Yan Yue no longer paid attention to Li Lei, but turned to Emperor Shi Lidao.

"What year did Li Sima join the army?" Zhao Yu didn't see it, but still talked to Li Lei.

"Your Majesty, I was originally a township soldier, and I officially joined the army after the Battle of Yashan!" Li Lei replied.

"Oh, you have been King Qin in Yashan, and it has been seven or eight years!" Zhao Yu nodded.

"Exactly, after joining the army, he was assigned to the forbidden army in front of the palace, and then he entered the new army for two years of study." Li Lei replied.

"Your Majesty, Li Sima is also a young hero, a weak crown in the army, and he is only four out of twenty this year." At this time, Chen Fenglin stepped forward and introduced, "After Li Sima joined the army, he participated in the conquest of Quanzhou and the previous defensive operations in Qiongzhou, and he made many military exploits at a young age, and he was good at using strange schemes, and in the battle to recover Jiankang, he led his troops and horses to take the lead in the city and made great contributions!" ”

"The lowly position does not dare to take credit, it is all His Majesty and the commander of the commander, and the lowly position is just to follow the trend!" Li Lei blushed a little after hearing this.

"Okay, there is wine and meat in the tent, let's go and fill our stomachs first!" Zhao Yu didn't say anything more, but patted his shoulder again and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Lei was not hypocritical, and walked to the camp after thanking him.

"Don't go yet!" Seeing that Li Hongbin and Yan Yue were still standing awkwardly on the side, Chen Fenglin frowned and urged in a low voice.

The last troops to land were the guard battalions, although they had fought hard for a day and a night, they were very tired, and they were covered with blood and gunpowder, but they were still well-groomed, and after going ashore, they still walked slowly and neatly, and did not compete with other troops because they were the emperor's own army, and still looked not arrogant or impatient. But they won the respect of the army with their bravery.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates were ordered to go to war and find all twenty-two soldiers trapped in Jiangbei. The headquarters was slightly injured 11 people, none of them died, and now the task is completed and the order is handed over! Seeing the emperor greet him in person, Tan Fei immediately stepped forward as a whole team to report.

"Yes, they're all back alive!" Zhao Yu stepped forward to look at these soldiers who were getting along with him day and night, patted this shoulder affectionately, punched the chest twice, and said with a look of relief on his face.

"We are His Majesty's pro-army, of course we can't fall into His Majesty's prestige!" One of the soldiers laughed.

"It's good to come back, go wash first, change clothes, redress wounds, and go to the tent to drink wine and eat meat!" Zhao Hao also responded with a smile.

"Your Majesty, it's enough today!" Although there were not many words, everyone could see his concern in His Majesty's eyes, and they also asked presumptuously.

"If it's enough, as long as you're not afraid of dying, you can eat as much as you want, drink as much as you want, and record it in my account!" Zhao Yu said with a smile......

…………

That night, Zhao Yu refused Chen Fenglin's move to Jiankang City, and still stayed in the water village, even though it was no secret that he was personally recruited in the army at the moment, but the news had not yet spread. If you move to the city, it will not only disturb the people, but also make it difficult to keep secrets. And he refused to enter the city, and the generals could only stay in the water village to follow the Hu, but some people couldn't sleep.

The next morning, Zhao Yu summoned Liu Chenweng, the prefect of Jiankang, to see the driver, he was very surprised when he heard it, and knew that since His Majesty refused to enter the city, he definitely didn't want to make a noise, so he led a group of officials in the palace to the water village in the name of the labor army, and then he went to face the saint alone, and only Chen Fenglin, the town of the town, was accompanied by Chen Fenglin, the secretary of the back hall. After greeting and greetings, Chen Fenglin first briefly introduced the process and results of the battle, and then got to the point.

The main thing Zhao Hao summoned Liu Chenweng was how to settle those 'reformed people'. After the "Jingkang Change", the area north of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains was occupied by the Jin State, and from then until the end of the Song Dynasty, people from the north, including the ethnic minorities who originally lived in the Northeast, Xixia, Fanqiang, and Xitong, migrated south for various reasons. For these immigrants from the north of the Huai River, the Song court collectively referred to them as "reformers".

On the issue of how to deal with the reformers, there were constant controversies within the Song court, which also caused a series of problems. At present, although only a few thousand people have been attached, Zhao Yu thinks that with the development of the war, how to deal with the reformed people will be an unavoidable problem, and he must make a plan as soon as possible to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.

Historically, due to the complexity of the composition of the reformed people, there were children of clans, civil officials and military generals, as well as scholars, literati and commoners. There were not only Han Chinese, but also Jurchens, Khitans, Bohai people, Xi people, and Hui people, and even some Mongols who were forced to follow when Li Pu returned to the Song Dynasty. There are many reasons for these people to move south, including to escape the turmoil of the war, and to escape the signing army of the Jin State; There are people who have lost their source of livelihood due to land scraping and famine; Others were recruited and coerced by the local government or the military in the Southern Song Dynasty.

And large-scale 'reforms' often accompany wars, and this has always been the case. Before the signing of the "Shaoxing Collegiate Agreement", there was a war in the north, and a large number of Han people went south, and most of them came from Huaibei at this time. They believed that "two Huaiben were one family" and were willing to follow the Song army and go north to regain the lost territory. With the outbreak of the Jin-Song War, the people in the north set off a round of immigration upsurge.

The Song Dynasty was clamoring for war against Jin, and began to accept reformers on a large scale. In less than two years, 100,000 reformers poured into the Southern Song Dynasty. In order to win over the reformed people to the greatest extent, the border guards not only resorted to persuasion, but even openly plundered the population of the north to the south and forced the people who refused to cross south to relocate.

For the reformed people in Nanfu, the Song government adopted a series of preferential and appeasement measures as much as possible. If it is an original official position, the official may be reinstated or appropriately promoted; If you are willing to join the army, you can not be pierced, and you can make up for a utility soldier with higher salary; If they are students, they are allowed to go to school in their temporary place of residence and take the release test, and they will also be given a better amount of relief; If they are willing to plough the land, they can be given idle land, cattle tools, seeds, and money and grain; If it is self-reclaimed wasteland, it can also be exempted from two taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

In the more than 100 years of military composition of the Southern Song Dynasty, those with strong combat effectiveness were basically Han people from the north. Therefore, the absorption of northern reformers became an important source of replenishment of combat effectiveness of the Southern Song army. But for the Song court, "reformers" were a double-edged sword. How to deal with the reformed people has long troubled the Song Dynasty government.

When the main battle faction gained power in the imperial court, the Song court would do everything possible to accommodate and induce the northerners to move south, and give the greatest material support. When the main defenders gained power, the reformers would fall into a very embarrassing situation, and sometimes even face the fate of being repatriated, and these reformers who were forced to return north suffered from reprisals and discrimination, and their lives were often in a desperate situation, so that they developed a serious resentment towards the Song.

Supporters believe that the attitude towards the reformed people shows the "orthodoxy" of the Song Dynasty and is a necessary measure to win the hearts and minds of the Central Plains and compete for talents in the Central Plains. At the same time, it can increase the population and cultivated area, replenish the army, and understand the internal situation and trends of the enemy country. Therefore, not only can you not refuse, but you also have to pay a lot of money.

Opponents believe that these reformers who migrated south were a poisonous plan set up by the enemy to use these displaced people to encroach on the Song state. On the one hand, there are many officials who have moved south, which makes the phenomenon of redundant officials very serious and brings a huge burden to the state. On the other hand, the land was limited, and the influx of reformers encroached on the land of the Song people, which increased the survival pressure of the people in the southeast and forced the original good people to become "thieves"

Indeed, due to the large number of people moving south, it brought quite serious problems to the society of the Southern Song Dynasty. Among the large number of reformers, there are many speculators. Some falsified their resumes in order to deceive the Southern Song Dynasty of official positions, or constantly demanded official positions to make the Southern Song court exhausted. Some of the reformed officials were powerful in the localities, bullying others and corrupting the rulers. There are also some spies planted by the Jin people, or stealing intelligence or engaging in sabotage activities......
