"The bright moon is not frightening, the breeze is chirping cicadas in the middle of the night, the fragrance of rice flowers says a good year, and listening to the sound of frogs is ......"

The north may be frozen, although the land south of the Yangtze River in March is still occasionally cool, but the weather has gradually warmed up, the mountains and fields are already patches of green, and occasionally some red and white mountain flowers that bloom early are very beautiful.

Since the beginning of spring, the wind and the sun have been beautiful, and this year will be a good year, between the low hills and forests, between the ridges of fields, scattered patches of fields, there are already farmers driving water buffaloes to plough the rice stubble that went to winter. After the beginning of spring, the rice stubble and weeds are turned into the mud, and after they are rotten, they can remove insects and fertilize the fields, and they cannot be thinned at all.

The blackened earth was ploughed up piece by piece with the ploughshare, flipped over, and poured neatly to one side. In the village not far from the roadside, smoke rises from the cooking stove, and groups of young children play happily by the village house, looking too peaceful and peaceful.

The rice flowers in the fields are still nowhere to be seen, but a young man on a horse may happily chant the names of the pastoral names of the marrying monks.

The boy was about thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in purple, and rode a brown-red horse under him.

Behind the young man was a team of more than ten people. Mixed with a few horses and a small sedan chair, a few sturdy men, dressed in black with short plackets, a tiger's back and a male waist, a short knife in his waist, and a whistle stick in his hand. Some of them still had longbows on their backs, and they looked around from time to time with cold eyes. At the back of the line were five or six porters, carrying a small number of items. It depends on the situation, it should be a noble family returning to their hometown.

Shinshu is very famous in Gangnam East Road. Since the establishment of Lin'an, Xinzhou is bordered by Zhejiang in the east, Fujian Road in the south, and Jiangxi Road in the west. From Lin'an Dong to Poyang Lake through the Xinjiang River in Xinzhou to enter the river and go to Jiangling; Or enter the Ganjiang River, and then go to Guangdong South Road through the Lingnan Ancient Road in Ganzhou; or enter Fujian Road from Xinzhou Lead Mountain through Wuyi Mountain Chong'an Water Pass; It is actually a traffic artery connecting the east, west, north and south.

Moreover, Shinshu is known as the gathering of virtuous and virtuous people, the house of righteousness, and many famous scholars, such as Lu Benzhong, Zeng Ji, Han Yuanji, Xin Youan, etc. The lead mountain that the group went to is the Goose Lake Academy and the residence of Jiaxuan monks, the famous club of Goose Lake.

"Daddy, Daddy. Let's go to the residence of the Jiaxuan monks. ”

After the young man finished reciting a poem "Xijiang Yue", he gently pulled the reins with his hand, turned sideways, and smiled at a silk-clothed scribe beside him.

An old servant with gray hair hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the reins, and the girl simply threw away the reins in her hand and let the old servant lead her slowly.

"Hmm. It's almost there. ”

The middle-aged scribe nodded. Looking at the spring scenery around him and the young man in front of him, his face was full of melancholy, and he said with a smile, but the scribe couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. Hey, this is really a teenager who doesn't know what it's like to be sad.

"Brother Jiu, there is Goose Lake in front, and there are still many roads in Huangquan, where Jiaxuan monks live. After crossing the Goose Lake, walk more than ten miles to the mouth of the river. From the estuary to the mouth of the river to the county seat Yongping, the spring is not far from Yongping. Back then, Jiaxuan residents often came to live between Xinzhou Mansion and Lead Mountain, but they walked the road under our feet. The old servant leading the horse said with a smile in front.

"Oh, it's not far. I'll go to the Lady Spring in a few days. The young man's eyes lit up and he said happily.

"Brother Jiu is going to go to Goose Lake Academy to have a look, and the academy is ahead." The old servant asked.

"Don't go. What is there to see in the academy. The boy shook his head and said, I don't know if he was disgusted with the academic career of the academy or disliked the boredom of science.

"Let's go. Rest at the mouth of the river, and then go to Yongping, go early, and settle down early. Seventh brother, they may have all reached the mouth of the river. The middle-aged scribe said lightly.

"Seventh brother, of course they will go down the river by boat."

"Let you take the boat, you have to walk the mountain road, you are tired of walking." The middle-aged scribe complained with some pity.

"Hehe, how can you have a good spring scene to see on a boat." The boy laughed.

"Alright, alright, whatever you want. When you have a bone headache, don't complain in front of your mother. "The middle-aged scribe didn't have a good breath.

"yes. Brother Jiu, you better get off the horse and sit in a sedan chair. The sedan chair is more stable. The old servant pointed to the small sedan chair carried by the two men and persuaded.

"No, I don't. The sedan chair is stuffy, how can it be comfortable on my Gillian's back. The young man gently rested his legs on the horse's belly, and his feet under the horse moved forward quickly, and the old servant was caught off guard and was pulled to a stumbling side. The boy retracted the reins again, and with a chuckle, urged the horse to hurry forward.

The middle-aged man couldn't help but shake his head, loving and pitying this somewhat rude daughter. Looking at the lovely daughter in front of me, and looking at the spring mountains, I couldn't help but feel a burst of wordless pain in my heart.

Last year, the imperial court changed the Yuan Deyou, but the state was becoming more and more corrupt. Deyou, Deyou, it sounds good, but how can you ever be blessed by heaven.

Since the first year of Duanping of Lizong, after the destruction of Jin, Mongolia invaded the Song Dynasty in two ways under the pretext of the Great Song Dynasty's betrayal of the alliance. The war lasted seven years and ended with the death of the Mongol Khan Möngke.

Meng Ge died, and there was a dispute for the throne of the Khan in Mongolia, and the Mongols collected their troops and returned north. It is a pity that the traitors in the DPRK and China are in power, and Jia Rudao has used his power to snar his cronies and try his best to crack down on and frame meritorious generals, resulting in the people's discord, the soldiers and soldiers are separated, and the war readiness is relaxed. The Great Song Dynasty lost a good opportunity to strengthen the army and consolidate the border.

After Kublai Khan pacified Ali Buge and competed for the throne of Khan, he actively prepared to go south. After several years of war preparations, Meng Yuan had the conditions for a large-scale war. When Kublai Khan heard that the rebel general Liu Quan had offered a strategy to attack the Song Dynasty to Meng Yuan, he made up his mind to implement a breakthrough in the middle and besiege Xiangfan with heavy troops.

After five years of siege, Xiangyang and Fancheng were cut off from foreign aid, and finally in October of the ninth year of Xianchun, Fancheng was first broken by Meng Yuan. As soon as Fancheng was broken, the lonely city of Xiangyang was difficult to defend. Under the inducement of Meng Yuan and military pressure, Lu Wenhuan, the prefect of Xiangyang, surrendered the city.

The Yuan army broke through Xiangfan, the government and the opposition were shaken, and the imperial court had to adjust its deployment and retreat the focus of strategic defense to the line of the Yangtze River, but people of insight understood that the land south of the Yangtze River, after more than 150 years, after the Jurchens' troops, would be trampled by the hooves of the Mengyuan horses.

Sure enough, after the Battle of Xiangyang, last year, Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of Mengyuan, increased his troops by 100,000 and attacked the Song Dynasty in a big way.

Meng Yuan used the Shu Yuan army to attack the important places of Liangchuan to block the eastward aid of the Sichuan Shu Song army; ordered Hedan and Liu Quanxing to go to the Huaixi Privy Council, and Bo Luohuan to be the marshal of Huaidong, respectively, to attack the two Huai, contain the Song army, and cooperate with the main force to attack the Song; Ordered Jinghu Province Zuo Prime Minister Boyan and Pingzhang Political Affairs Ashu to lead an army of 200,000 as the main force to attack the Song Dynasty, from Xiangyang Shunhan River into the Yangtze River, directly to Lin'an.

Boyan and Asshu entered the Yangtze River along the Han River in September, broke Shayang and Acheng in October, and captured Ezhou in December.

In the spring of last year, Boyan led 40,000 troops to defend Ezhou with his right Cheng Ali Hague. Since he led more than 100,000 troops, he ordered the general Lu Wenhuan to be the vanguard, and marched east along the river with the strategy of war and appeasement. Because most of the prefectures and counties along the river were the old departments of the Lu family, the Yuan army surrendered one after another.

In February, Jia Rudao was ordered to supervise 130,000 divisions and 2,500 warships, and the Yuan army fought in Dingjiazhou (now north of Tongling, Anhui). Because the generals had different ambitions and fled before the battle, the armies collapsed at the first touch, and the elite of the Song army was lost. In March, the Yuan army arrived in Jiankang, and the officials of the Great Song Dynasty either surrendered or fled. Raozhou, Ningguofu, Guangdejun, Liyang, Changzhou and other places surrendered one after another.

In the imperial court, Duzong collapsed, and after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he was faced with the army of Meng Yuan approaching Lin'an City, and the court had no soldiers and no danger to defend, and the country was only in the mend.

In Xinzhou at this foot, although Meng Yuan has not yet recruited soldiers, perhaps the begging envoys sent by the state are also on their way to Fuzhou or Jiangzhou. Thinking of this, the middle-aged scribe couldn't help but smile bitterly. This is also the reason why he quietly went south in civilian clothes.

The middle-aged scribe's name is Zhao Mengchen, the word Shishan, is a distant clan relative of the Zhao and Song dynasties, but since the Jingkang period, the Jin soldiers went south, the Zhao clan was scattered, and the ancestors of Zhao Mengchen also came to settle in the south of the Yangtze River.

Meng Yuan went south, as the Zhao and Song clansmen, he should have consulted the country with his body, but he did not face a pair of lovely children, and he couldn't help but be soft, so he had to bring his wife and children to settle in the rather remote Xinzhou Lead Mountain. Prepare to settle your wife and daughter, and then go to King Lin'anqin. But looking at the daughter who didn't know the sorrow in front of me, thinking about the fate of the uncertain future, I couldn't help but worry about it.

"Master, the front is to the mouth of the river." The group walked very fast, and after more than 20 miles, they arrived in a while, and a strong man in black pulled his horse and stepped forward.

"Oh. Go to the mouth of the river to find a shop to sharpen, and immediately go to Yongping after meeting the wife. Zhao Mengchen looked up and said in a deep voice.
