Winter goes to spring, the blue sky is like washing, the sun is high, and the people who shine are warm all over.

The bandits in the south have been eliminated, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal has returned to its former scene.

Li Nan did not take a ship to transport goods this time, but sat on a boat specially prepared for officials.

Li Nan was not afraid of the cold and heat, and stood in the bow of the ship facing the wind at this time, staring at the sparse ships of all kinds, and felt some emotion in his heart.

The main grain-producing areas of the Great Song Dynasty were concentrated in several state capitals south of the Yangtze River, but since Fang La raised the banner of rebellion, the rebels have burned down the houses and farmland of those innocent people in order to contain their rebellion, and the land of water and rice has been scorched to the earth.

Now it is the spring sowing season, but Tong Guan's army is still chasing the remnants of Fang La's army, and those Jiangnan refugees who have lost their homes are also scattered to survive, it seems that within two or three years, the land south of the Yangtze River will not be able to recover.

When Li Nanzheng was sad for those people in Jiangnan, his footsteps behind him sounded softly, and a gust of fragrant wind hit.

After several adventures, today's Li Nan is deaf and bright, and he can easily distinguish the footsteps of the people around him, so he doesn't have to look back to know that the person who came is Li Qingzhao, who has returned to the south by himself.

"Brother Li, my little sister has been rescued by you several times, and I can't repay it."

Now Li Qingzhao is no longer the haggard woman in the slums of Tokyo City, after following Li Nan to leave the city full of sad memories, she has changed her clothes, which can be said to be a beautiful bun, with a soft body and a moving style.

At this moment, Li Qingzhao stood beside Li Nan, looking at his benefactor, his heart was full of gratitude.

Whether it was Li Qingzhao's uncle or the Zhao family she was promised to, there were many high-ranking officials of the Song Dynasty, so she had long known Li Nan's true identity.

Thinking that Li Nan, the sworn enemy of the Song Dynasty, King Zhennan, actually took the risk to find herself and save her from fire and water, Li Qingzhao really felt that this was a great kindness.

"You're welcome." Li Nan looked at her and smiled: "We are not outsiders anymore, when we return to Zhennan, you can live well, it is more suitable for you than Tokyo City." ”

"Yes, big brother."

Li Qingzhao's beautiful eyes wandered, and he noticed the trace of worry on Li Nan's face, and hurriedly asked with concern: "Big brother, are you worried about anything?" ”

"Alas!" Li Nanyao looked at the direction of Jiangnan in front of the bow of the ship and sighed: "Shu'er, do you know why the eldest brother rebelled in the south?" ”

The question of "this ......" made Li Qingzhao a little embarrassed, she had heard others talk about Li Nan's Jiaozhi, but there was nothing good to say.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Qingzhao said: "I believe that no matter what the eldest brother does, he has his own reasons. ”

"Huh." Li Nan stroked Li Qingzhao's hair, and said with a smile: "I know that many people think that the rebellion and founding of the country are for glory and wealth, for power, and for being the emperor, but in fact, these are not the things I want. ”

In fact, although Li Qingzhao was embarrassed to say it clearly, she did think so in her heart, and when she heard Li Nan's words, she asked curiously: "Then why are you?" ”

Li Nan glanced at the great rivers and mountains of China on the shore, and a song of Yuan Song came to mind, and he immediately felt it, and recited it:

"The peaks and mountains are like gathering,

The waves are like fury,

Mountains and rivers surface Tongguan Road.

Wangxidu,

Hesitation.

Sad Qin and Han meridians,

The palace and all the rooms were made of soil.

Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer. ”

"Good!" After Li Qingzhao listened to this Yuan song, a pair of beautiful eyes released an excited light, and he praised urgently: "Big brother, your long and short sentences are in a layer-by-layer in-depth way, from writing the scene and nostalgia, and then triggering discussions, the vast scenery, deep emotions and the discussion of the essence of the three are perfectly combined, with a strong appeal, the words are full of historical vicissitudes and a sense of the times, both the characteristics of nostalgic poetry, and a unique depressing style. ”

Hearing Li Qingzhao's fanatical appearance full of praise for Zhang Yanghao's "Hillside Sheep Tong Caring for the Ancients", Li Nan couldn't help but cry and laugh.

Li Qingzhao savored this Yuan song carefully, and finally came to his senses after half a ring, feeling that he had ignored Li Nan, and suddenly his pretty face turned bright, and he quickly explained: "Big brother, I'm sorry, but I understand your thoughts." ”

"Well, many people don't believe it, but in fact, I rebelled to save more people."

Li Nan stood on the bow of the ship, and for the first time said the ideal in his heart: "The Great Song Dynasty is now faint, the traitorous ministers are rampant, the eunuchs are in charge of the army, there are the four great Kou rebels, and there are Liao, Jin, Xia, Tufan and other countries outside, and the disaster of destroying the country is only in an instant." ”

"I raised troops in the southern Jiaozhi land, not for those fame and fortune, but just to let the Chinese compatriots shed less blood and tears, so that my dignified China can become the overlord of this land and even the whole world!"

is both talented and good-looking, as the lord of a country, with thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, Li Nan can be said to be the dream lover of all women, even a high-ranking woman like Li Qingzhao was trembling all over his body infected by his benevolent ambition at this time, and just wanted to jump into his arms......

The official ship went all the way south without hindrance, and traveled thousands of miles a day with a smooth wind and water, heading straight for Hangzhou.

After several offensive and defensive battles, the city of Hangzhou, which was burned twice, is now ugly, but because the Fang La army was defeated and left, after being taken over by the Song army, after the local officials rectified it, it slowly recovered some vitality.

Tong Guan is now in power, it can be said that one person is above ten thousand people, Li Nan just took out the book of this popular eunuch, and the local government did not say a word, and quickly requisitioned a merchant's sea ship for him to use.

Seeing the sad appearance of the maritime merchant who dared not speak angrily, Li Nan instructed the guards to send him a sum of gold and silver, and the ship could not come back when it arrived at Jiaozhi, so he simply bought it at the original price.

He did not stay long in the ruined city of Hangzhou, and after replenishing his food and water, Li Nan ordered the ship to go south along the coastline.

Today's Northern Song Dynasty court armaments are lax, the military spirit is loose, the so-called naval army is just a decoration, Li Nan did not expect that his sea ship had just come to the sea area outside Fuzhou on Fujian Road, and encountered several warships.

When Li Nan saw the two strange flags hanging on the warship, he couldn't help but smile with relief.

The red two-headed troll represents Li Nan's banner, and the other flag with the eight-clawed octopus monster represents the Greyjoy family, the Iron People family in the Ice and Fire World.

Since the warship on the opposite side belonged to his own, Li Nan immediately ordered someone to hang the double-headed giant flag representing his own deity.

After getting the news of the return of his own prince, Asha, the general of the Zhennan Naval Division, quickly rushed here and picked up Li Nan and others on his warship.

Asha and Artemisia, the commander of the navy from the Persian Empire, did not honestly guard the coast of the Indochina Peninsula, but constantly harassed the Great Song coastline in the north.

The shipbuilding technology of the Great Song Dynasty can be called the world's first, and in the southeast coast of Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Mingzhou, Wenzhou and Hangzhou and other places have formed an important base for manufacturing sea ships, not only official shipyards, but also many private shipyards.

Zhennan lacks ships and shipbuilding craftsmen, but this is not difficult for Asha, the pirate queen of the world of ice and fire, she can be said to be back to her old business this time, although according to Li Nan's instructions to burn less, but the looting is not less.
