During that time, Huainan was lost, and the national border was advanced from Huaishui to the Yangtze River, and Jiangning Mansion was on the northern border. The Song army looked at the Yangtze River across the river, and although there was a natural danger of the Yangtze River, the degree of safety was not as good as before. It is precisely because of this that Li Jing had to bow his head to the Great Song Dynasty in the north, so that he could be in a safe corner.

Li Jing and the ministers of the DPRK and the central government actually had mixed feelings, on the one hand, they were afraid that the Song army would cross the Yangtze River to attack the south, so they made compromises everywhere. On the other hand, they hope that the Yangtze River is isolated from the north and the south, and they can sit back and relax. But it was this kind of mentality of not being aggressive, blindly avoiding, and a little tangled that laid the groundwork for Tang's demise.

But today, under the order of Li Jing, the lord of the Tang Dynasty, the entire Jiangning Mansion was overcrowded and crowded, and the official eunuch family was ready to move to Hongzhou with the lord Li Jing, but in order to reassure the subjects of the world, Li Jing made Li Congjia the crown prince and ordered him to stay in Jiangning Mansion, while he moved the capital to Hongzhou with a cadre of important ministers in the court.

The land of Hongzhou [Nanchang], located in the hinterland of the Tang Kingdom, far away from the forward of the Song army in the north, and there is the natural danger of the great river.

What Li Jing wanted was to implement the strategy of retreating and defending first, recuperating and recuperating, and waiting for the opportunity to revivenation.

The relocation of the capital was done in a hurry, and it originally needed to be planned slowly.

Although the repair of Hongzhou has begun to take shape, the construction of roads, the transportation of grain and grass, the dispatch of troops, and the relocation of officials and ordinary people are not accomplished overnight.

However, Li Jing's move of the capital was not a whim, but through the Song army's drill in Luan Town, blocking the opposition of the ministers and the people in the court, so that they could see the situation clearly, and although Jiangning Mansion was separated by the Yangtze River, it was difficult to ensure the safety of the first life, and could only ensure peace for a while.

And Li Jing has been in poor health all these years, he is worried about what is behind him, of course he knows the quality of his son, he is most similar to himself, good at dancing and writing, but he is not so good at political affairs, but the problem is that he is his eldest son (the former prince died), and he has no choice.

He hoped to move the capital to Hongzhou, manage the future generations for his descendants, and protect the foundation of becoming a defender against the enemy, at least to keep the country from being destroyed, or maybe to make a comeback, his thoughts are probably like this.

And Zhao Dezhao's drill in Yingluan in advance made Li Jing move the capital to Hongzhou several months earlier than in history, and Li Jing also took this opportunity to move the capital.

After the edict, everything was ready, and the army escorted Li Jing and other royal families, the families of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and the families of the merchants and ordinary people, accompanied the escort of grain and grass, and went south to Hongzhou.

All of a sudden, on the road inside and outside the Jiangning Mansion.

The chariots, horses and horses, the boats on the river come and go, thousands of sails race, tracing the river and turning to Hongzhou through the mouth of the lake, the scene is really vast and chaotic.

————————————

Jiangning Mansion, in the East Palace, a jade-faced young man, wearing a purple robe, tall but thin, elegant but not mighty, this person is Li Congjia. He has a bright wrist and snow, blue clothes and a country, but his personality is weak, he is not shocked by joy and sorrow, a pair of eyes with heavy pupils, a piece of ice heart jade pot, and an article in his abdomen.

A few days ago, he once advised Li Jing not to move the capital, and Li Jing sternly admonished: "Let you stay in Jiangning Mansion, but also to protect the ancestral foundation, but also to take into account the defense along the river, you must not be negligent and willful, but my father went to Hongzhou for the sake of future generations." ”

"Yes!" Li Congjia sighed, how to say that he is barely a filial son, at least the ethics are often understood, he replied.

Then Li Jing called a few henchmen and guards around, and admonished: "The prince stays in Jiangning Mansion, you take care of it, remember not to let others hurt their lives." ”

"Yes, Lord of the Kingdom!"

"My son, go down!"

"Yes!" Li Congjiale had to stay in Jiangning Mansion, he had a quiet personality, and now there was no control around him, so he was very happy in his heart, so he retreated.

He exited the main hall, and then walked briskly towards the Imperial Garden, while he happened to return to the East Palace to accompany his wife of Emperor Zhou E.

Emperor Zhou E is playing the piano in the imperial garden at the moment, a song "Guangling San", light and bright, the timbre is pure, fluctuating, the sky is bright, the clouds are moving, and Li Congjia, who is here, is very comfortable.

The matter in Jiangnan has been concluded, Huainan has also been calmed, and the Yingluan drill has caused the Tang State to move the capital in advance, and Zhao Dezhao knows that after Li Jing moves the capital this time, Li Congjia [Li Yu] will move the capital back to Jiangning Mansion after he ascends the throne, so he is very relieved about this matter, and according to historical records, Li Jing will probably die in the second year of Jianlong, that is, on August 12 next year.

Yingluan Town, Zhao Dezhao and several people are still here, and after he finished inspecting this place, he has not returned to Beijing for several months, and now it is October, Zhao Dezhao plans to return to the court.

Before leaving, he discussed with Song Yanwu some training methods and shortcomings of the navy, although Song Yanwu has been in charge of the navy for many years, but he also knows some problems, and now Zhao Dezhao put forward some opinions and suggestions before leaving, he also felt that Liang Junwang's words were good after listening, so he followed Zhao Dezhao's practice method to do.

Zhao Dezhao also came according to the methods of later generations, and combined with the characteristics of ancient ship warfare, he summed up a set of strategic deployments that were conducive to water operations.

On September 26, Zhao Dezhao stayed in Yingluan Town for a period of time, and after inspecting the surrounding prefectures and counties, the group decided to go north and return to Beijing.

On the 27th, when he arrived in Yangzhou, Li Chuyun had already stayed in Yangzhou. Zhao Dezhao was very relieved, so he went east to Changzhou and other places on the 28th of the next day to inspect the people's situation, and then walked along the canal.

Thousands of flat-bottomed sand boats on the canal stretch endlessly, Zhao Dezhao's dragon flag official ship sailed in the front to personally open the road, the momentum is very huge, it is already the end of October at this time, and some places will transport grain to Kaifeng Mansion through the Huai River and Bianshui.

On the evening of October 31, Zhao Dezhao and his entourage rested at a post station 20 miles away from Sizhou.

——————————

Twenty miles away, under the night, in the city of Sizhou, the lights in the south of the city are dim, and the wind blows the grass and does not move, the atmosphere is very strange, a small villa by the water with wild grass and overgrown, several black shadows enter and exit, and the door is pushed open, and a man in black comes forward.

The wind blew the black clothes, and under the veil, on the neck, there was a delicate flying sparrow tattooed, and these were the people of the Flying Sparrow Organization.

And their leader, who was waiting for news in the house at this time, was the black-clothed Tanhua, since he heard the news of Li Chongjin's failure, he sighed secretly alone, on the day of the Chen Qiao mutiny, he had not yet learned, and he had not made the fastest move in the shortest possible time, and let Zhao Kuangyin usurp the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou, and then he rescued Guo Xirang, the king of Cao, from the palace.

He did everything, several times, wanted to assassinate and rescue the Zhou royal family, but he was defeated, he then went to Luzhou, provoked Li Yun to rebel, but Li Yun failed, he then went to Huainan, and urged Li Chongjin to raise troops into Kaifeng, kill the usurper thief, and then support King Cao to ascend the throne, but Li Chongjin was pacified on the day he raised his army, and it seems that the black hand behind this has reached the seed of rebellion early.

And he knew that all this was thanks to Zhao Kuangyin, if he hadn't betrayed the Great Zhou and took the opportunity to usurp the throne, he would not have run around today to take revenge and save the country.

With the failure of these two, he no longer knows whose soldiers and horses to rely on, and now Li Jing, the lord of the Tang Kingdom, has also moved the capital to Hongzhou to avoid the Song army going south, it is conceivable that he black-clothed Tanhua does not know whose strength to use to eradicate Zhao Kuangyin.

"Subordinates, see the black-clothed commander!"

"Ming, what's the matter?" The black-clothed Tanhua seemed to notice a slight change, but he wondered.

"Good news, the black-clothed commander, Zhao Dezhao, the son of the thief Zhao Kuangyin, is now settled in the post station twenty miles away, not far from Sizhou, I believe that we will be able to reach Sizhou City soon, and when the time comes, we will be able to capture this person and blackmail the Kaifeng thief."

"This news is good, Ming, you go down first, and then discuss this matter tomorrow, if you want to arrest people alive, you must get rid of people when you die, don't miss this time."

"Yes, the subordinates are retired!" The person who called "Ming" from the mouth of the black-clothed Tanhua had already retreated, and in another room, a child dressed in ordinary service, heard that "Ming" had retreated, and he stepped into the room.

"Subordinates, see the young master!"

And this person who is called the young master is Guo Xirang, the king of Cao, who has been missing for several months.

"Black, get up!" A few months ago, Guo Xirang was still crying and shouting, but now after a few months of careful care and instillation of the consciousness of recovering the country by the black-clothed Tanhua, Guo Xirang has reacted a little, and there are some signs of hatred in the subconscious.

"Thank you, young master!"

——————

On the morning of November 1 the next day, Zhao Dezhao arrived at Sizhou City by boat, car and horse, and Sizhou officials met again at the dock of the ship, this time he heard from the mouth of the officials that the transportation of Sizhou City had entered a busy time, and he repeatedly told him to ensure the safety of Caoyun and arrive in Kaifeng smoothly.

After that, he went to the place where he last rested, and on the same day, he accompanied the local officials to check the hydrology, public security, city defense, military strength, agriculture, public opinion, etc.

Sizhou overlooks the Huaishui in the south, controls the flow in the north, although the land is flat, and the ridges are coiled, the mountains and rivers are arched, the wind is condensed and green, and the area of the shape is also victorious.

Sizhou City was built in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, destroyed in the Sui Dynasty and rebuilt in the Tang Dynasty. Historically, Sizhou was an important transportation node of the Grand Canal, known as the "water and land metropolis". Since the Tang Dynasty, Sizhou has governed large areas such as present-day Jiangsu and Anhui.

During the Song Dynasty, the royal grain was transferred here, and groups of ships anchored here. Shiyun: "The official ship and the bream are full of Huaibian, and the cars are slack and the horses are sudden. ”

Later, the Yellow River migrated southward, built embankments, blocked the breach, Sizhou City because of subsidence and flooding, sank to the bottom of the lake, whining and mourning, and in order to avoid tragedy, Zhao Dezhao asked Sizhou officials to strengthen the construction of Sizhou City, dig ditches, ensure the smoothness of the river, strengthen the river embankment, so that its water flow does not cause harm to Sizhou City, and then tamp the foundation, raise the ground, and require a generation along the line to prohibit logging and wages.

Of course, all this is just the beginning, and after telling Sizhou officials this, Zhao Dezhao felt that in addition to the inspection, he also had to recuperate and see the beautiful scenery of Sizhou.

On the evening of November 1, the business trip was completed

Zhao Dezhao wanted to go out and relax, and he knew that Wuyongzi was a good landscape, so he asked: "Dao Chief, Su asked you to travel all over the world, famous mountains and rivers, ancient temple ruins, I don't know if Dao Chang knows where this Sizhou is famous?" ”

"Your Highness, you are asking the right old way, the old way knows that there are ten scenes in Sizhou."

Zhao Dezhao didn't wait for Wu Yongzi to finish speaking, and asked anxiously: "Which ten scenes?" ”

That is, the floating beam practice, the evening bell of Huilan, the floating smoke of Huaishui, the towering cui of Xushan, the dawn of Yuwangtai, the morning glow of Lingruita, the spring of the wet cuitang, the autumn wind of the hanging sword platform, the meandering of the Jiugang mountain, and the ring of the river. There is also Puguangwang Temple, building Sangha Pagoda, 300 feet high, the shadow is cast into Huaishui, it is magnificent. ”

"Puguang Wang Temple, it is a famous temple and an ancient temple, the Taoist will pay a private visit to the micro-service tomorrow, how about setting off to the Buddhist temple?" Zhao Dezhao knew that his grandmother loved Buddhism and wanted to go to Puguangwang Temple to ask God for a sign to bless his family.

"Your Highness, good idea!"

In the wind, the small villa near the water source in the south of the city, the black-clothed Tanhua and a few people already knew that Zhao Dezhao was in Sizhou City, and they were about to take a plan to start acting.

"The black-clothed commander, there are a large number of troops guarding outside the post station, and our men and horses are insufficient, but just now, Ming caught a small guy outside the post station, and under careful interrogation, his subordinates gained an important piece of information!"

The black-clothed Tanhua asked anxiously, "What information?" ”

"It is said that Zhao Dezhao and a few people are going to Puguang Wang Temple to play, and according to the subordinates, there are a few guards around Zhao Dezhao on this trip, and we can send a few more people, just take this opportunity to capture Zhao Dezhao alive."

"Well, you're doing a great job!" When the black-clothed Tanhua heard the news, he was happier than anything else, and he smiled fiercely, "Zhao Dezhao, forgive you for being unable to fly this time." ”

Outside the post station, Zhao Dezhao put on a cloak and stood in the wind.

The secret agent whispered and wore a mask, and replied: "Report to the young master, the subordinates have learned that the people of the Flying Sparrow Organization are coiled in the south of the city, and they seem to have made a move, young master, it is better to encircle and suppress them tonight......"

Zhao Dezhao interrupted him and said clearly: "Slowly, whispering, we are short of people, and the birds are huge and complex, their whereabouts are strange, their nest is not here, in case the grass startles the snake, not only can it not be caught, but it will make people find out, it is better to stand still, I believe that even if I don't look for them, they will target me." And you will let people dress up tomorrow and blend into the Puguang Temple, such a wonderful opportunity, I believe they will not miss it, and we only need to defend, and in the future, we will slowly slaughter it. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will send Ye Seventeen and a few of their brothers."

……

The next day, the light of the Buddha shone, Zhao Dezhao, Wan Song, Zhao Xin, Wu Yongzi and Wu Xiaowu five people, with their companions, embarked on the road to Puguang Wang Temple.

ps. In 961 A.D., the second year of Song Jianlong, Li Jing moved the capital to Nanchang, made Li Congjia the crown prince and supervised the country, and ordered him to stay in Jiangning Mansion. Li Jing died in June, and at the age of 25, Li Congjia ascended the throne in Jiangning Mansion.

[The city of Sizhou in the Ming and Qing dynasties was repeatedly flooded, and the Kangxi Dynasty (1680 AD) fell into Hongze Lake, which was to treat Xuyi. Due to the flooding and subsidence of the Huai River Basin, Sizhou City disappeared. In 1777 (the forty-second year of Qianlong), Sizhou migrated to govern the old county seat of Hongxian, and Hongxian was changed to Sizhou (originally belonging to Fengyang Prefecture), and Hongxian County was abolished at the same time (later developed into today's Si County). In 1912 (the first year of the Republic of China), Sizhou Zhili Prefecture was abolished. When the Beiyang warlords had set up Huaisi Road in Fengyang, Sizhou was divided into Anhui and Jiangsu provinces, and was only seen in some county names. 】
