Chapter 84: Less than the Leizhou

Zhao Dongting looked at the stone tablet and slowly pondered: "Ten thousand soldiers of our army buried their bones here, and some even had their names left. You will engrave the 'Song Jun Mountain, the righteous temple, the souls of the dead are loyal and brave, and the gods know each other'. I want them to know that even if they have not left their names in history, their loyalty and courage and achievements will be seen by Huang Tian."

Li Yuanxiu nodded, walked to the stone tablet with a solemn expression, and drew his sword.

The sword light was flying, and the stone chips were flying. In just a few moments, a line of words appeared on the stone tablet.

Song Junshan, the righteous temple, the dead souls are loyal and brave, and the gods know each other!

Zhao Dongting stared at him for a while, then turned around and shouted: "All the soldiers, follow me and go to Leizhou!"

The soldiers shouted in unison, "Here!"

Soon, many chariots and horses, as well as these Southern Song soldiers, rushed down the mountain.

Zhao Dongting personally met hundreds of disabled soldiers at the ferry entrance.

These soldiers were disabled during the two battles of this Gongzhou Island, and voluntarily stayed at Gongzhou Island to guard the old palace and the Yishi Temple.

Looking at the expectation in their eyes, Zhao Dongting said, "Don't worry, when I recover Lin'an, I will come back to pick you up, and then go and experience the prosperity of Lin'an."

Hundreds of disabled soldiers fell to the ground and remained silent.

Afterwards, tens of thousands of soldiers boarded the ferry at this ferry and headed towards the Xiliu Ferry of Leizhou Prefecture.

Hundreds of sea ships are gradually drifting away.

Zhao Dongting stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the vast sea in front of him, murmured: "This is just the beginning..."

At this moment, he had no selfish desires in his heart, only the determination and hope of restoring the Song Dynasty that the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty poured on him.

It's just because he was the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty.

At the ferry, hundreds of disabled soldiers watched the fleet go away with tears in their eyes, kneeling down and unable to get up.

Suddenly an old man cried and shouted, "Master, I'm waiting for you to return here!"

The sound came out of Xu Yuan and gradually spread in the sea.

The Xiliu Ferry Crossing this day was particularly lively.

The news that the emperor won two great battles and will be in Leizhou Prefecture today has spread all over the world. In recent years, Ge Lijun has prepared for war and forced the men to strengthen them, which has long been full of complaints. The people are living in poverty. The people are full of enthusiasm and hope for the arrival of the emperor.

Moreover, these days, Prime Minister Wen's troops conquered the entire Leizhou, drove away the thieves, and destroyed the robbers. In a short period of time, the order of Leizhou was unprecedentedly good, and the people were very fond of the Southern Song court.

It was also clear that the weather was clear that the people rushed to Xiliu Ferry in groups early to see the might of the emperor's army.

There are crowds of people, and they are swarming with each other. The vendors take advantage of the opportunity to shuttle and sell.

In the lively atmosphere, I don’t know who was the first to shout, “The Emperor’s fleet is here.”

The people all looked up at the sea, but there was nothing.

It turned out that it was a trick that a wolf had played with with a child.

In just ten seconds, I heard the child crying and shouting when he was beaten by his parents, and the people laughed. But more and more children were rushing to imitate it, and the sounds of childish voices coming from the emperor were about to overwhelm the hawkers.

The children were playing and running along the shore and the parents were scolding and chasing behind them, which was even more lively.

Wen Tianxiang's soldiers and soldiers stayed in Leizhou Prefecture were waiting for the troops along the ferry, and then continued along the Nandu River connected to the ferry to the distant river that could not be seen. The imperial court had already ordered that the emperor's fleet would follow the Xiliu Ferry to the Nandu River, and then to the inland of Leizhou Prefecture, land on the way, and go straight to the Leizhou Prefecture, which is the prefect.

Prime Minister Wen, no, it should be said that Wen Junji had strict orders, so that the emperor and the people would see their power. Therefore, all the soldiers of Xingguo Army held their heads and chests. Whether they were wearing armor, red cherry blossoms, red backs, or cloth armor, they were all in high spirits.

They blocked the people behind, and the bank was strictly prohibited within two meters of the shore.

This is not because of the fear that some people will hurt the emperor, but because of the excitement of the crowd and that some people will be squeezed into the water.

"Here you come!"

"Here you come!"

After dozens of minutes, someone suddenly exclaimed one after another.

The fleet slowly sailed on the sea, and twenty warships in front lined up in a row, heading, magnificent, 1,000 meters long and hiding across the sky and the sun.

The Southern Song warships captured more than 600 of the Yuan army and Leizhou army alone, and Wen Tianxiang's warships totaled more than 800. What is the concept of a formation of warships that are more than 800, more than 800, more than 10 meters wide, ten meters high, and thirty meters long?

Even if these warships are seamlessly connected, they are enough to be jaw-dropping on the sea surface. It is really like huge waves rushing from the sea.

The people were excited at first, and then were stunned by the momentum of the ship formation, and then gradually became silent. Even the children were not playing and playing, but they all looked at the slowly coming ship formation with their eyes bulging.

The boat formation suddenly stopped along the Xiliu Ferry Crossing. A group of soldiers of Xingguo Army knelt on one knee and shouted like thunder, "Kow to the Emperor!"

The people then knelt down and shouted one after another, "Kow to the Emperor."

The prosperity of imperial power at that time was unimaginable. Even if the Southern Song Dynasty was in danger, these people would never dare to have any disrespect for Zhao Dongting. The idea that the imperial power could not be slandered had long been deeply rooted in their minds. Those officials who were not in power would dare not have any inappropriate thoughts.

Zhao Dongting naturally did not stand at the bow of the boat anymore, and was afraid that a martial arts master would plot against him. He sat in the cabin and listened to the shouts, his thoughts became a little distant. In the past, he was the boss of a media company and only needed to care about whether hundreds of people in the company had food to eat. Now, as the emperor of the Song Dynasty, he has to care about the people.

These shouts are filled with expectation and desire.

"Ka, da, da..."

Zhao Dongting's right middle finger unconsciously knocked the book case, thinking about how to manage Leizhou so that the people of Leizhou can live a prosperous and stable life as soon as possible. He has also heard of what Ge Lijun did in the past two years, and the people have almost been plundered by him. Otherwise, there would not be so many soldiers who turned against him.

War is not just a point of war. Without a stable rear, no matter how many battles are won in front, it is useless.

After a few minutes, the ships changed slowly. The three ships came out and walked side by side, heading towards the Nandu River.

The people always stared at the dragon ship with countless dragon flags. They just couldn't see the emperor opening the window. They were a little disappointed at the moment, but they also felt even more majestic.

Wherever the fleet went, all the soldiers and people along the coast all knelt down, shouting long live the mountain.

The warship array slowly walked on the Nandu River, gradually filling the river channel, stretching for more than ten miles.

Only Wen Tianxiang's hundreds of Xingguo Army warships and Liu Hongyi's Huanglong Army's Huzhou Army warships stayed at the ferry.
