The fleet has arrived in Dengzhou, Dengzhou is already a prosperous place, there are sea ships docked everywhere near the port of Dengzhou, there are many styles, there are fleets from many countries.

Nowadays, to everyone's surprise, the entire Dengzhou wharf is built of cement, and there are large and small docks and shipyards nearby.

Seeing the boat docking, the helpers on the dock had already gathered around, and several helpers wearing short brown and yellow cloth shirts surrounded them, and when they saw Zhao Dezhao and them getting off the fortune boat, they shouted: "Official, do you need a four-wheeled carriage?"

"Not for the time being, they need the fleet behind." Zhao Dezhao shook his hand, they just went down to the port in Dengzhou to check the construction of the cement road in Dengzhou, but under the introduction of the local people in Dengzhou, now the road to Kaifeng has been paved, and at the moment it is surrounded by a white jade belt in the sun, which is very clean and tidy.

Secondly, Zhao Dezhao checked and asked the local people again, and planned to let Wang Pu and them on the boat get off together, and then transfer to the four-wheeled carriage to return to Beijing, this time they want to experience the cement relaxation road in Kaifeng.

"Little Guizi, you go and call six four-wheeled carriages." Then Xiao Guizi ran to the gang of idlers, and then hired six four-wheeled carriages, and all the envoys of the Song Kingdom got into the four-wheeled carriages.

As for the camels, because the dhowing fleet carried a lot of cargo, they transported the goods on the dhows to Kaifeng in batches by four-wheeled carriages, while the other batches had to be exchanged for a batch of inland river flat-bottomed boats at the mouth of the Yellow River and then sent to Kaifeng.

Despite this, several carts of cargo were brought down from the ship, and the camels called a few helpers and hired quite a few carts.

One after another four-wheeled carriages came from a distance, forming a straight line around the docks, and the merchants on the other ships were stunned at the sight, they could not believe that these dhow ships were carrying so much cargo.

The helpers had already helped get dozens of truckloads, and then a few docks and a hundred people helped unload a batch of goods from the ship.

It took most of the day to load the goods, and the camel solemnly looked at the loaded cart and said to the horseman: "You follow the six carts in front of you and send them directly to Kaifeng."

"Yes." For a while, dozens of four-wheeled carriages gathered on the dock, and the rest of the fleet could not find such a car for the time being, and the merchants of the rest of the fleet also asked for help to find out the whereabouts of the surplus cars from the people in the city.

The four-wheeled carriage walked along the cement road, all the way slowly and quickly towards Kaifeng. Along the way, all you see along the way are cement relaxation roads, and some important buildings along the way are all made of cement.

The four-wheeled carriage left Dengzhou quickly, and at this moment it had reached the outskirts of Dengzhou, Zhao Dezhao and others poked their heads out, only to see the building quickly skimming through the window and disappearing behind.

Along the way, the carriage did not show any bumps, and as the horses passed through the green wheat fields and the rice fields of Champang, all they could smell was the sweet smell of the undulating crops roasted under the scorching summer sun. Zhao Dezhao suddenly sniffed violently, and the smell of grass mixed with the smell of sunshine made people feel refreshed.

At this moment, Zhao Dezhao's heart is no longer here, one of his hearts has flown to the home outside the city, and he doesn't know that the potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes and other crops that the people of the Great Song Dynasty have never seen from the Americas have now begun to try to plant in the home outside the city, Zhao Dezhao doesn't know how these crops are growing now, whether they are good or bad, whether they have achieved the effect he expected, his heart is very anxious and anxious, and he can't wait to put on a pair of wings and fly to Kaifeng as soon as possible.

Shang Haobin's eyes also widened, the undulating turquoise waves made him dazzle, and the green in his eyes also made his tired eyes feel comfortable for a moment, and in a trance, the scene in front of him made him feel that he had returned to the Heavenly Empire in the later world, only the mechanical operation on the Great Plains.

He turned his head and complained to Zhao Dezhao: "Dezhao, you are a good boy, you have done your part, why haven't you heard of it before?"

Zhao Dezhao's face met his, only to see his face smiling, he turned his head to Shang Haobin and said: "Haha, there are too many good things, I can't remember it all of a sudden, when you get to the capital, there will be something that will surprise you, here is just the tip of the iceberg."

"The tip of the iceberg, well, then I'll wait and see." Shang Haobin's thoughts looked at it from afar, and the rushing Yellow River in the distance was flowing eastward, but the next moment the carriage and horses passed by the Yellow River, Shang Haobin squinted his eyes, but pointed to the Yellow River, "Why do you say that this Yellow River is so clear and not so turbid, it's really strange?" ”

Zhao Dezhao listened to Shang Haobin's words, he didn't feel much doubt, he said: "This is not strange, but also thanks to the imperial court issued an edict prohibiting logging and forest protection, and at the same time, if you want to cut down trees, you need a variety of small trees, since the implementation of this decree in the Song Dynasty, the degree of damage to the mountains and forests in various places has been reduced a lot more than usual, and finally there has been no great damage to the Loess Plateau, and there is more cement as a building material for building houses."

Shang Haobin suddenly realized, he nodded and said: "So good, very good, you do a good job, if this continues, soil erosion and other situations will never happen again in the future, and our children and grandchildren will also have a blue sky and green land, a paradise on earth."

Dong Zhongyan, Wang Pu and others in the rest of the car also listened secretly, according to this, Wang Pu and they believe that it will not be long before the Great Song Dynasty will be a peaceful world, and the people living in the land of the Great Song Dynasty will also be the happiest people in the world.

The four-wheeled carriage continued to move forward, and the ground was covered with cement relaxation roads, so it was a smooth acceleration all the way forward, and the four-wheeled carriage behind also followed closely, like an ant colony leading the team, black and pressing, and it looked like it was almost five or six miles away.

When we arrived near Kaifeng, this cement road was parallel to the Bianhe River, and the boats in the river went to Kaifeng with the four-wheeled carriages on the shore with the undulations of the waves.

"It's going to be Kaifeng soon." The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao Dezhao and others finally arrived in the suburbs of Kaifeng, and the sergeants who went to report the news also went to the Funing Palace.

In the Funing Palace, after Zhao Kuangyin saw the report, he immediately asked the officials of Honglu Temple to go out of the city to greet him.

The carriage had stopped at the outer gate of the city, and everyone got out of the car and began to wait at the gate of the city.

Although Shang Haobin also swam in Kaifeng with Zhao Dezhao, Duan Xiaolou, and Wu Lingqing in his previous life, they arrived in Kaifeng a thousand years later, and everything in that era a thousand years later has faded the taste of historical dust, and has also been annihilated underground by the historical river sand, leaving very few places of interest and historic sites, most of which are rebuilt and copied, and completely fail to reflect the charm of this era. It can only be glimpsed in Song Ci, Tokyo Menghualu, and Water Margin.

But now all this has come out of the books, and it is presented in front of Shang Haobin in an antique manner, so that he can't help but look excited and shout.

Zhao Dezhao and his party on the side have not been back to Kaifeng for a long time, and every time they see her, they feel a completely different charm, but now they are presented in front of everyone like a fairy, making him feel that everything he does is worth it.

The Kaifeng city tower in front of you is majestic and magnificent, the soldiers of the forbidden army are like sculptures, standing on the city tower, and the red national flag of the Song army on the city tower is also fluttering with the wind.

On the street, the Song people walked inside and outside the city, their sleeves fluttering, shoulder to shoulder, and they could also glimpse a sense of Song people's self-confidence, which made Zhao Dezhao think of a sentence, "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, and Weijia Hainei thinks of his hometown." ”

After a while, the officials of Honglu Temple, under the leadership of Liu Han, rode the Kaifeng Gong. Jiao quickly rushed to Zhao Dezhao and them, and the surrounding people heard that the envoys visiting Jiangnan had returned to Beijing, and they quickly gathered around the four-wheeled carriage in which Zhao Dezhao and them were riding.

The scene was crowded, Zhao Dezhao and other officials got out of the carriage, and then instructed the little nobles to temporarily send some things such as tea to the palace of the king of Wei, and the valuables sent by Qian Yu, the king of Wuyue, to the palace.

Zhao Dezhao and his entourage all got out of the carriage, and the people were also surrounded aside, Han Kuangsi, Han Derang's family and the rest of the people related to Zhao Dezhao also gathered in the queue of the people, and Liu Han and other officials of Honglu Temple stood with their hands.

Later, surrounded by the crowd, Zhao Dezhao, Wang Pu and others entered the palace, and Si Tianjian had already chosen a good day and an auspicious day to schedule the surrender ceremony of the Li family outside the Mingde Gate tomorrow.

…… On the second day, the Mid-Autumn Festival, this day is also the day when Li Yu, the lord of the Tang Kingdom, descends to the Song Dynasty.

At the end of the day, the sun was shining, and Li Yu, dressed in the clothes of an ordinary official, knelt at the door of the Suzaku Bird.

Although Li Yu is unwilling, but the general trend of the world is like this, now the (southern) Tang state has been defeated, Li Yu is unable to return to heaven even if he has the ability, he thinks about the past, a year before he ascended the throne, his father Li Jing has been due to the decline of the country and called the Song Dynasty, reduce the tribute. After he ascended the throne, he could only adopt the national policy of passive observance. Although he had the heart to change, he couldn't turn the tide and finally surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty.

Li Yu raised his head and smiled bitterly, the past has now drifted away with the wind, but he still has some obsession in his heart, because today is the surrender ceremony, and he immediately regained his calm face, although Li Zhongyu, the prince of Qingyuan County on the side, is young, but as a child of the royal family, he still has some feelings, but he does not have much sadness, and the lady on the side also knelt on the ground.

In front of the que, the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army was dressed in red, wearing a red scarf, the armor was distinct, the military appearance stood majestically aside, the drum beat on the tower of the Mingde Gate began to come, one after another, the fiery red Song flag covered the sky, and then a solemn scene.

Several red-clothed cannons on the Mingde Gate stood proudly at the head of the city, and the whole body was tied with strips of red silk cloth, and after a while, under the order of the artillerymen, they sounded one after another in the sky, which made people deafening.

Although Li Yu and everyone present knew about it, they were still stunned by the sound of cannons.

This is the majesty of the Great Song Dynasty, the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and no small country can despise its existence, only prostrate at its feet.

At two o'clock, the front of Mingde Gate was already full of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and Zhang Dejun, the first of the inner chamberlain, had already come with the emperor's holy decree.

Li Yu then knelt down to receive the order, and gave him clothes and crown belts, and the Li royal family behind him also followed suit, and along the way, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty accompanied him on one side and walked towards the Chongyuan Palace.

Arrived at the Chongyuan Palace, Emperor Zhao Kuangyin has ascended to the palace, today he is wearing a gown and a crown, an apricot yellow robe, a jade red belt, soap boots, a ceremony is also according to the most noble.

"Kneel~~~" With Zhang Dejun's duck voice, Li Yu's family members have already knelt down in the court.

……

"Bye~~~"

……

"Salute~~~"

……

"Licheng ~~~"

Then Zhao Kuangyin ordered Li Yu to be the opening of the palace with the three divisions, the inspection of the school and the Zhongshu Ling, and An Guogong.

His son, Li Zhongyu, the prince of Qingyuan County, is the general of the right Qianniu Wei.

…… On the ninth day of the first month of September, the (southern) Han lord "Liu Gang" dedicated his land to the north, and Zhao Kuangyin took "Liu Gang" as the general of the left prison guard and named Peng Chenggong.

Since then, most of the south of the Yangtze River has basically been in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, except for Wu Yueguo and Chen Hongjin of Quanzhou, who submitted to the Great Song Dynasty in the Central Plains.
