Chapter 88: Migrating to Leizhou
I have to say that although the Southern Song Dynasty court was on the verge of despair, the courtiers who stayed by his side were all loyal ministers.
Lu Xiufu is, Wen Tianxiang is, and so is Zhang Shijie. If they had objections, the Southern Song Dynasty would not have been able to continue until now.
Most of the undetermined ministers like Chen Yizhong have long since left. This can also be said to be a windfall of several years of exile.
So far, Zhao Dongting has initially established the foundation of the official system of the Southern Song Dynasty.
It was nearly noon, and suddenly there was a burst of drums and trumpets outside the city.
The officers and men of the three armies assembled.
Zhao Dongting left the dormitory again and took Li Yuanxiu, Ying'er, and Le Chan to the south gate of the palace.
Le Chan knew that it was a celebration banquet for the three armies, thinking about her identity, she didn't want to go, but she was forcibly pulled by Zhao Dongting, and she was moved, but also helpless.
She naturally noticed that the little emperor was particularly close to and dependent on herself.
When they arrived, all the ministers had already arrived, standing on the city wall, and Yang Shufei was also present, wearing gorgeous clothes, which was extremely beautiful.
In front of them were long wooden tables with a few snacks and sweets.
Concubine Yang Shufei was still holding a child who was about seven or eight years old in her hand, her expression was a little dull, it was Zhao G's half-brother, Guangwang Zhao M.
According to historical facts, after Zhao G's illness and death, Lu Xiufu supported him as the emperor, and then in less than two years of reign, he was carried by Lu Xiufu to commit suicide by jumping into the sea on his back in Yashan.
Now that Zhao Dongting has crossed over, Zhao Mo has no life to be the emperor, so he can only continue to be his king of Guang.
Zhao Dongting walked to the side of Yang Shufei, shouted softly, touched Zhao M's head again, and then walked up to the city, facing the outside of the city.
The sky was a little dark, and the clouds covered the top.
Under the city, there are tens of thousands of Southern Song Dynasty soldiers. The palace front division of the guards, the flying army, the protection army, the state protection army, as well as the Yuan army, and later the Leizhou army, are all in the column. Several military formations are clearly arranged in a phalanx, with strict armor, banners and swords and guns.
In front of each horizontal column of soldiers, there was a half-man-high long wooden table, which spread from one end of the queue to the other, and it had to be more than two hundred meters long.
There are also a lot of wine and food on these wooden tables, and there is a faint woody fragrance emanating from them, which is made by hundreds of craftsmen overnight.
Zhao Dongting is not afraid of spending money, nor is he stingy with spending money, but he never dares to treat these soldiers who fought for the Southern Song Dynasty in a bad way.
As for those who were demoted, naturally there was no such treatment. They could only watch from a distance, with neither armor nor blades.
Smelling the rich aroma of wine, they could only swallow their saliva secretly.
As soon as Zhao Dongting went to the city, tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison: "Knock on the emperor!"
This earth-shattering cry rolled up the dust on the ground, and seemed to shake away all the black clouds in the sky.
Zhao Dongting waved his hand slightly, and the three armies were immediately solemn.
He said loudly: "You have fought bloody battles for my Great Song Dynasty, bravely resisted the enemy, and worked hard!"
As he spoke, he looked at Li Yuanxiu on the city wall.
Li Yuanxiu brought the wine to his side.
Zhao Dongting poured a glass of wine, held it in his hand, and said, "But...... This glass of wine, I want to pay tribute to the soldiers who died in the Great Song Dynasty. They came to this desert island with me, and they loyally guarded me by my side, and it was my fault that I did not have the ability to take them back. May their souls protect us and let us expel the Yuan thieves and restore the Great Song Dynasty!"
With that, he drank all the wine from his glass.
When the soldiers at the head of the city heard his words clearly, they couldn't help but be moved, and shouted: "To the souls of the dead!"
One by one, the soldiers drank the wine in their cups.
A sound of salutation of the dead resounded in front of the southern wall of the entire palace.
The dark clouds rolled, as if the souls of those soldiers were responding, shouting to expel the Yuan thieves and restore the Great Song Dynasty.
Countless soldiers of the three armies wept, and some even fell to their knees.
Among those soldiers who died in battle were their relatives, brothers, and even fathers and sons.
When the shouting gradually stopped, Zhao Dongting poured another glass of wine and said loudly: "This glass of wine, I will respect you again." Respect for your loyalty, courage and courage, and for your courage and tenacity. I first ascended to the great treasure, and it is the luck of the Great Song Dynasty to have your protection by my side, and it is my luck. I only wish that in my lifetime, I can take you, the army of wolves and tigers, thousands of miles and return to my homeland!"
After speaking, Zhao Dongting drank the wine in the cup again.
He was young, and his body bones had never been good, and his face was already flushed after drinking two glasses in a row.
"Homecoming!"
"Homecoming!"
The soldiers shouted loudly, mixed with countless choked up.
Exiled from overseas, it is difficult to see the homeland. I don't know how many of them saw their homeland in their dreams, and then Huo Ran woke up and wept silently.
It was the loyalty in their hearts that supported them to come to the island with the imperial court, and it was also the loyalty in their hearts that supported them to live until now.
There is no one who doesn't want to go back to that place, that prosperous Lin'an.
The majestic and magnificent imperial city, the spacious forbidden army training ground, the overpass with entertainers and acrobatics, the Qujia alley where many cockfights, crickets, and idlers gather, and the Nanhu where countless flower boats swayed every night, and the oirans who scratched their heads and gestured.
Of course, what I miss the most is my own home, which may be simple, but it can always make people feel warm.
More and more soldiers choked up, and even cried, mostly the guards who followed from Lin'an.
Even the courtiers on the city wall couldn't help but weep.
Zhao Dongting poured another glass of wine and held it in his hand, "This cup of wine, I disrespect the sky, disrespectfully, is a severed head wine prepared for the Yuan thief." One day, I will let the thief have such a cup!"
With that, Zhao Dongting slammed the wine glass in his hand down the city.
Under the city, Yue Peng, Su Quandang, Liu Hongyi and other generals burst into tears and smashed down the porcelain bowls in their hands. Even the general Wan Yanzhang couldn't help but be moved.
At this time, he suddenly remembered his homeland, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, and the Dajin before it was destroyed by the Yuan army.
He suddenly regretted it and hated himself. The Yuan army destroyed gold, and he even succumbed to the thief?
He originally wanted to beg Zhao Dongting to let him lead the army to return to the field and retire from then on, but at this moment, the idea of following Zhao Dongting, killing back to the north, and regaining his homeland arose. If he can destroy the Yuan and restore the Song Dynasty and make great contributions, maybe Zhao Dongting will reward him with his original hometown.
Porcelain bowls burst open on the ground.
The sound of extinguishing the Yuan and recovering the Song Dynasty is not endless.
These porcelain bowls are like the determination of the soldiers to burn the jade and stones, and if they do not return to their homeland, they will sacrifice their lives.
The flags were not stopped, and countless soldiers roared loudly.
"Extinguish the Yuan!"
"Extinguish the Yuan!"
Zhao Dongting didn't speak for a long time.
The wine came up, making him stagger, and Li Yuanxiu next to him hurriedly and quietly held it with his hand, and broke out in a cold sweat, and was about to persuade Zhao Dongting to come down.
At this time, Zhao Dongting had already said: "The great victory of our army in this battle is all due to your achievements. Now, I have specially named you as my Great Song Dynasty Huanglong Forbidden Army, Liu Hongyi is loyal and righteous, righteous, brave and good at fighting, I am named the Huanglong General, Zheng Sipin, the commander of the Huanglong Forbidden Army, in charge of the original Leizhou Protection, Protector, Feitian three army warriors. ”
Liu Hongyi was stunned under the city, and when he heard Su Quandang's words and reminders, he hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank him.
In the past, the Flying Army could only be regarded as a local army, and it could not be compared with the forbidden army.
Zhao Dongting said slowly: "In addition to General Liu, I have another person to be rewarded. As he spoke, he looked into the middle of the escort army and shouted, "Where is the one-eyed archer who saved me from danger?"
The sound drifted out of the cold wind.
One of the guards stepped out of the column and walked slowly to the city.
It was the one-eyed archer.
He was an archer, carrying a bow and quiver, wearing red cloth armor, and he went to the city and knelt on the ground, "Knock to the emperor!"
Zhao Dongting was overjoyed to see that he was still alive, and asked, "Why are you so good at archery?"
The one-eyed archer replied, "The pawn was born blind in his left eye, and he is not good at swords and guns. ”
"Good!"
Zhao Dongting said loudly: "If you are disabled, you should set an example for our army." What's your name?"
"Pawn Zhang Hongwei. ”
"Good!"
Zhao Dongting nodded again, his face flushed, "I have appointed you as the commander of the Longwei Left Wing Army of the guards, and the general of the fifth rank Dingyuan!"
He still remembered that it was this Zhang Hongwei who took the lead in the battle when he supported the army to surrender to Cheng, and he had no doubts about his loyalty.
Zhang Hongwei thanked him.
Liu Hongyi was directly promoted from the captain of the eighth rank of the imperial martial arts to the general of the fourth rank of Huanglong, and he was promoted from a nobody to the general of the fifth rank of Dingyuan, although this title is not equal to the real power, but it can also be described as the emperor's grace. It makes them grateful to those who have the heart to serve the country.
A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Dongting's mouth, and the wine became more and more intense, knowing how long he couldn't hold it out, he hurriedly said: "The rest of the meritorious people, I will reward them again on a certain day." From now on, I will rename this mountain as Song Jun Mountain, and I will set up a shrine for the fallen soldiers of our army on this mountain, so that their heroic souls will be immortal. ”
The whole army fell to their knees and shouted hooray.
In the past, the emperor did not attach so much importance to the soldiers, and Zhao Dongting was the first one in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Zhao Dongting shook twice, and shouted with all his last strength: "Half a month later, our army will move to Leizhou!
"Northern Expedition!"
"Northern Expedition!"
