Chapter 34: The Class Master Returns to the Dynasty

Thank you for the attention and reward of "Lip Master", and I will have one more chapter today.

In February 1022, the court of the Great Song Dynasty was very lively, just after the Spring Festival, everyone was still in the festive atmosphere, the first day of work, they all had to say hello to each other, and they had not fully integrated into the rhythm of work.

The soldiers defending the capital rubbed their cold hands together to try to recover some heat, yawning and generally reluctantly pushing open the equally cold gates.

"Drive, drive...... Eight hundred miles of urgent reports at the border gates, disperse quickly! "A small group of cavalry dressed in the uniforms of the new army galloped from the official road not long after the city gate opened, and rushed into the city gate with high speed shouting.

"Eh, look at their urgency, what's wrong with this?" The guard asked quietly to his companion next to him.

"Who knows! Let's just take care of ourselves. ”

"That's right, this damn weather is cold to labor and management!" After finishing speaking, the guard rubbed his hands and sighed.

"Report! Eight hundred miles of urgent report at the border! Five days ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived in Yan'an Mansion and fought fiercely with the enemy of the party for a whole day, defeated the enemy, captured more than 8,000 people, and captured the thief alive! "The soldiers ran for a long time, although they were extremely tired, they still cheered up and said happily to Song Zhenzong and the Manchu Dynasty.

"Congratulations to the Emperor! Congratulations to the Emperor! The border pass is a great victory, His Royal Highness the Prince's martial arts are world-famous, God bless the Great Song Dynasty! The number one horse king Qin Ruo exaggerated a wild shot at Song Zhenzong.

The ministers were not disappointed at this time, and they all echoed it.

"Good! All right! The emperor really didn't disappoint me, and the prince discussed with you Aiqing, I must reward the prince and all the soldiers! Song Zhenzong, who was originally not good-looking, suddenly turned red when he heard the news, and expressed his excitement to the ministers very directly.

Thinking about it, Song Zhenzong has been very good in political affairs all his life, and his only regret is martial arts. In the past few decades, the Song Dynasty has also had friction with neighboring countries, and every time it is bullied by others, this anger in my heart is really not smooth.

It's okay now, when you're old, your son has regained face for himself, and he wiped out more than 20,000 barbarians in the first battle, and he really didn't dare to think about it before, especially when the number of soldiers on both sides is almost the same.

"Immediately sent an order to the crown prince and asked him to return to the court as soon as possible, I can't wait. All of you Aiqing went ten miles ahead to meet the triumphant soldiers, and you must make the scene lively! Song Zhenzong was stunned for a while, and then he thought about the ministers' orders.

"Your Ministers obey!" The first day of the new year came to an end in a cheerful and beautiful atmosphere.

It didn't take long for the notices of Yan'an's victory to be plastered all over the capital, and at the same time, it also radiated all over the country along various post stations. The first major victory in half a century was at the critical moment of the Spring Festival, which added to the festive atmosphere. Every house was lit up and elated. Those angry young people also met in major restaurants, not drunk and not returned, and inadvertently greatly drove the consumption level.

In Yan'an Mansion, Zhao Yingfu met with Fan Yong, the governor of Yanzhou, and learned the details of the military disaster. Although the field army reacted quickly, they still gave the enemy ten days and a half months, and they burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil around Yan'an Prefecture, causing great losses to the local area.

Statistics show that 50 percent of the territory of Yan'an Prefecture has been looted, the people have suffered heavy casualties, and many orphans and widows have been created, and their belongings have also been looted. The young and middle-aged were all taken away to be slaves, but fortunately, the cavalry rescued them in time, and most of them were rescued.

Zhao had no choice but to let Zhizhou Fan Yong take charge of the aftermath of Yan'an Mansion and wait for the imperial court to appoint a new missing official. He handed over all the recovered grain to Fan Yong, asked him to distribute it to the affected people, and strictly ordered him to do a good job of cold and epidemic prevention.

Although Fan Yong has mastered six of the seven tricks in the battle, he is still good at handling government affairs and managing logistics, and he arranged the tasks assigned to him by Zhao Yingyi in an orderly manner, which also made Zhao Yingyi a lot easier.

A few days after the battle, the supporting border troops also arrived and took over the defensive tasks of the field army. People who had fled the war also returned to their hometowns one after another and began to rebuild their homes.

Zhao sent some troops to various places to help the people build their homes, and at the same time supervised the work of officials at all levels. Thanks to the help of a large number of soldiers, most of the area was settled down after a week, and the troops followed Zhao's orders to bring back the orphans and elderly who were really homeless.

Looking at these ragged, frightened and helpless orphans and old people in front of him, Zhao Yingying burst into tears and whimpered: "Don't worry, I am the current prince, our Great Song army is here, we have defeated the enemy and avenged your family!" Today, it is the responsibility of my Great Song Dynasty to let everyone suffer a tragedy, and I did not protect my subjects, and my Great Song Dynasty Prince Zhao Ying bowed to you on behalf of the court and the emperor! After Zhao Yingfu finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the frightened people.

Seeing this, the common people knelt down and shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is merciful! The grass people are grateful......"

Although those children didn't know anything, they all understood that this prince was not ordinary. In this Song Dynasty, which was gradually decaying, officials were increasingly indifferent to the feelings and interests of the people, and as the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, he was able to put down his body and take the initiative to admit the mistakes of the court, which really moved the majority of the people. Just such a small thing spread all over the country in the near future, and all kinds of exaggerated versions have emerged, which greatly increased Zhao Yingyi's prestige among the people.

"Everyone, please get up! If you have other places to go, you can leave on your own, and if you are homeless, stay and return to Beijing with this king, and this king will definitely take care of you, and you don't have to worry about your future life. After Zhao Yingfu finished speaking, he ordered his entourage to go and count the situation.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness! The grass people deserve it! "The people are used to it, and they kneel at every turn, so Zhao Yingfu had to hurry up and let them get up.

"Soldiers, you must have seen the plight of the people with your own eyes these days. The incompetence of our army has caused the people to be wronged and humiliated, which is a shame for our soldiers! This king wants you to train harder and annihilate all enemies who dare to attack. This king wants to let those who dare to infringe on my Great Song know that those who offend my Great Song will be punished even if they are far away! Zhao Yingfu said loudly to all the soldiers standing next to him.

"Those who offend my Great Song Dynasty will ......be punished even if they are far away" The soldiers listened to Zhao Ying's encouragement, and shouted excitedly, and they didn't stop for a long time.

At the end of February, Zhao Yingying finally arranged the aftermath of the arrangement, took the orphans and the elderly, escorted the prisoners, and returned to Beijing from the camp.

Hearing that the field army was about to return to the DPRK, the villagers of ten miles and eight townships rushed to the outside of the barracks early, carrying what they thought was the best, either a basket of fruit or a basket of eggs ....... They all stayed quietly, only the eyes that looked at the field army camp not far away revealed their anxious mood.

The gate of the "Squeak ......" barracks slowly opened.

Groups of soldiers walked out of the barracks slowly with neat steps, and at the front were part of the cavalry, then the infantry, and then the baggage troops, carrying the old men and children, and the cavalry at the rear. Zhao Yingfu and the two generals were at the front, leading everyone to the people in front.

When the people saw the army coming, they seemed to come to life in an instant, and consciously moved out of the way. For a time, firecrackers rang out, gongs and drums were noisy, and everyone sang and danced to see off the field army. In the past, soldiers were rampant, and the common people were afraid, but what the field army did during this time, helping to repair houses, carry water, chop firewood and other small things, gradually won the hearts of the people.

The people came to the soldiers with their belongings, and when they saw people, they stuffed things on them, and the soldiers were in a hurry. Due to the strict military regulations of Zhao Yingying, the soldiers are friendly to the common people, and they can't ask for things, which is difficult for them, and they have to refuse while thanking them.

Seeing this, Zhao Yingfu was extremely excited, as if he saw the situation of the People's Liberation Army entering the city, and he was also convinced that he could change this social state. Seeing the embarrassment of the soldiers, he couldn't help but smile and said loudly: "Folks! You don't need to be like this, it is the duty of a soldier to protect his family and defend the country! All the soldiers listened to my command, 'All the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty must keep in mind, and pay attention to the three disciplines and eight points of attention......'Ready, sing!' ”

All the soldiers sang in unison the songs of the three disciplines and eight points of attention that Zhao Yingfu had tampered with, and set foot on the way home. Although the cultural level of the people is low, these straightforward lyrics still can't stop them, and they are all moved to tears by the spirit of this special team.

"With this His Royal Highness the Prince, with this brave army, I am hopeful that the Great Song Dynasty will be blessed!" I don't know which of the people took the lead, and the crowd shouted. Looking at the distant army, the song seemed to still echo in the ears, and the people knelt on the ground unconsciously, and the back of the Korean army kowtowed a few times before slowly dispersing......

Along the way, all the soldiers did not commit any offenses and strictly abided by military discipline. Originally, there were some thorns, but they were all recovered properly by the prison army, in fact, they only had one move, and it was also the stunt of my Heavenly Empire taught by Zhao Yingying, Guan Ya was confined. Don't underestimate this confinement, it will collapse after a long time, and now these soldiers would rather be corporal punishment than squatting in a dark room. Those who have committed crimes are as good as cats when they see the prison guards.

Along the way, Zhao Yingyi did not forget to buy people's hearts, and whenever he saw a place where people lived, he asked everyone to listen to the various military songs he had tampered with. The soldiers also enjoyed the surprised eyes of the people, one by one, and some squadrons even played a game of singing among themselves, which also appropriately relieved the fatigue of the march.

The speed of going back was not as fast as when they came, and it was still relatively delayed to escort the prisoners, and it took everyone nearly a month to return to the Kaifeng territory.

The people of the capital were shocked to hear that the field army had triumphed, and the whole city was boiling, and the ministers of the court and the central government were also busy preparing for the meeting, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were even more busy with their feet on the ground. In order to maintain order, some of the forbidden troops were also ordered to be stationed in the capital and participate in patrol missions.

At this time, Song Zhenzong was about to come to the end of his life, and he had died at this moment in history in order to be able to see his son triumph in person and make up for the regrets in his heart.

The old Wu Cheng lay down beside Song Zhenzong's dragon couch, gently beating his legs, Concubine Liu helped Song Zhenzong and said softly: "Official, our emperor is coming back, you must hold on!" The emperor may have done it this time, he caught so many barbarians, it really gave us a long face! (Guanjia is the private name of the emperor unique to the Song Dynasty, and people who are generally close to him can be called this in private, which is also a manifestation of the emperor's proximity to the people in the Great Song Dynasty.) )

"Concubine Ai is right! It's a pity that I'm old and can't see the day when the emperor grows up! Song Zhenzong touched Concubine Liu's hand and said slowly.

"Official, don't talk nonsense! You want to live a long life, and you have to spoil your concubines......" Liu E actually understands his situation, but he can't accept this reality in his heart.

"My body, I know it myself, I just can't rest assured that I can't help the concubine and the emperor, he is still young, I'm afraid that he can't control those ministers, and our big Song Jiangshan will be in danger." Song Zhenzong looked at Concubine Liu and expressed his worries.

"Official, please, don't worry about this anymore, rest well! The emperor is so smart and capable, you can rest assured! Concubine Liu said comfortingly.

"Concubine Ai is also right, the emperor has performed really well over the years, and sometimes I feel that he is not a child anymore. I made a decision, to promote Concubine Ai to the queen, after I leave, I will assist our emperor well, and ensure that my Great Song Dynasty is forever, please Concubine Ai! ”

"Official, the concubine is not allowed to say this, you must be well-...... Woo," Concubine Liu cried as she spoke.

"Concubine Ai, don't cry, it's hard to disobey your destiny! Let's happily wait for the triumph of the emperor! Song Zhenzong sighed deeply and gently coaxed Concubine Liu.

Concubine Liu collected her tears, smiled at Song Zhenzong and said, "The concubine listens to the official's family, let's all be happy......"
