The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 61
Today's Xiliu Ferry is extremely lively.

The news that the emperor won two battles and will be in Leizhou Mansion today has spread widely.In recent years, Mr. Geli has made great efforts to mobilize troops and recruit strong men, which has already caused complaints and people's livelihood. For the emperor's arrival, the hearts of the people are full of ardor and hope.

Moreover, these days, Prime Minister Wen's soldiers and horses conquered the entire Leizhou, expelled the thieves, and wiped out the robbers. In a short period of time, the order of Leizhou was unprecedentedly good, and it made the people feel good about the Southern Song Dynasty court.

It just so happened that the sky was clear and the weather was clear that day, so the crowd rushed to Xiliu Ferry early in groups, ready to see the majesty of the emperor's army.

There are huge crowds of people, shoulders rubbing against each other, and hawkers take advantage of the opportunity to shuttle and hawk endlessly.

In the excitement, I don't know who was the first to shout, "The emperor's fleet is here."

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

It turned out to be a wolf trick played by children.

In less than ten seconds, the crying and shouting of the child being beaten by his parents was heard, and the crowd roared with laughter.But more and more children rushed to follow suit, and the childish voices of the emperor's voice almost overwhelmed the hawkers' cries.

Children are playing and running along the embankment, and parents are scolding and chasing after them, which is even more lively.

The soldiers Wen Tianxiang left in Leizhou Mansion were now waiting for the army along the ferry, and then stretched along the Nandu River connected by the ferry to the distance of the river that could not be seen clearly.The imperial court has already made a decree that the emperor's fleet will go along the Xiliu Ferry to the Nandu River, and then to the inland of Leizhou Prefecture, land on the way, and go straight to Leizhou Prefecture, which is also known as Zhizhou Prefecture.

Prime Minister Wen, no, it should be said that the military orders of the Wen army have strict orders, and the emperor and the people must see their majestic military might. Therefore, all soldiers of the Xingguo Army hold their heads high, no matter whether they are wearing armor or head Wearing Hongying, the generals and commanders wearing red cloaks on their backs, and the low-ranking soldiers who were still wearing cloth armor and their hair was simply tied up, were all in good spirits.

They stopped the people at the back, and everything within two meters of the embankment was strictly prohibited.

This was not because he was afraid that someone would hurt the emperor, but because of the excitement of the crowd, someone would be pushed into the water.

"coming!"

"coming!"

After 10 minutes, someone suddenly exclaimed one after another.

The fleet on the sea is approaching slowly, with twenty warships lined up in front of them, headed by them, mighty and mighty, spanning kilometers across, covering the sky and the sun.

There were more than 600 warships in the Southern Song Dynasty that captured the Yuan army and the Leizhou army alone, and Wen Tianxiang's warships added up to more than 800 ships. What is the concept of more than 800 warships with a width of 30 meters and a length of [-] meters?
Even if these warships are seamlessly connected, it is enough to make people jaw-dropping when placed on the sea, it really looks like a huge wave coming from the sea.

The people were excited at first, and then they were overwhelmed by the aura of the boat array, and then gradually fell silent, even the children were not playing and playing, they were all staring at the slowly approaching boat array with puffy eyes.

The boat formation stopped suddenly along the coast of Xiliu Ferry, and all the soldiers of the Xingguo Army knelt down on one knee, shouting loudly, "Kowtow to the emperor!"

The people knelt down and shouted one after another, "Kowtow to the emperor."

The prosperity of the imperial power at that time was unimaginable. Even if the Southern Song Dynasty was in danger, these people would never dare to show any disrespect to Zhao Dongting.The idea that the imperial power is inviolable has already been deeply rooted in their minds.It's not those high officials who are in power, and they dare not have any unreasonable thoughts at all.

Naturally, Zhao Dongting did not stand on the bow of the boat, because he was afraid that some martial arts masters would plot against him.He sat in the cabin, listening to the shouts, his thoughts drifted away.In the past, he was the boss of a media company, and he only cared about the food for the hundreds of people in the company. Now, as the emperor of Song Dynasty, he cares about thousands of people.

There is anticipation and longing in these shouts.

"Da da da……"

Zhao Dongting's right middle finger tapped the book case subconsciously, already thinking about how to govern Leizhou so that the people of Leizhou can live a prosperous and stable life as soon as possible.In the past two years, he has also heard about Ge Lijun's actions, and he has almost plundered the people.Otherwise, there would not be so many soldiers who turned against him.

War is not just what the soldiers point at. Without a stable rear, no matter how victorious the front is, it will be useless.

After a few minutes, the formation of the boat formation slowly changed, and the three boats came out, lined up, and sailed towards the Nandu River.

The eyes of the people are always fixed on the dragon boat with countless dragon flags.It's just that I haven't been able to see the emperor open the window, and I feel a little disappointed at the moment, but I also feel that the emperor is majestic.

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

The array of warships moved slowly on the Nandu River, gradually filling up the river, stretching for more than ten miles.

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

The guards of the state were originally defending the Xiliu Ferry, and the camp is here.

The warships around the dragon boat are lined with banners and armor, with strict guards, and archers stand silently, watching the wind and grass on the shore all the time.

Leizhou, the emperor's class teacher, cannot tolerate the slightest disturbance.

Soldiers of Xingguo soldiers on both sides of the strait used spears to firmly keep the agitated people behind.

Although there were some Lianjiazi who wrapped their weapons in cloth among the crowd, no one dared to offend the dragon boat at this time.

Tens of thousands of forbidden soldiers are here, not to mention the Lianjiazi in this tiny place in Leizhou, even if the most famous sword god in the Jianghu, Konglangzi, comes in person and offends the dragon boat, he may not even think about retreating unscathed.

But at this moment, two people suddenly jumped up from the crowd, leaped over several Xingguo soldiers like rocs spreading their wings, and arrived at the river embankment.

The soldiers were shocked, raised their guns and surrounded them. On the escort boat beside the dragon boat, arrows were aimed at the two of them, and the cold light was shining.

"Bold!"

The soldiers of the Xingguo Army shouted loudly and were about to restrain the two of them. At this moment, the two of them fell to their knees, "Your Majesty! The people have grievances! Your Majesty!"

Both of them were burly men, with bronze faces and full beards, looking very mighty.

Their voices were also like a loud bell, which made the tinnitus of the soldiers beside them slightly ring.

Zhao Dongting was slightly stunned when he heard the shouts on the boat, and then told Li Yuanxiu: "Elder-in-law, order the boat to stop."

Li Yuanxiu hesitated and said: "Your Majesty... I'm afraid it's caused by the rioters, so I shouldn't pay attention to it..."

Zhao Dongting said: "If I turn a blind eye to the grievances of the Li people, what will the people think of me? How will they think of the court? Stop the boat!"

Li Yuanxiu had no choice but to go out of the cabin and call for the soldiers to stop the boat.

The mighty fleet stopped slowly under the command of Ling Qi.

Zhao Dongting lifted the curtain slightly, saw two big men on the river embankment held up by guns, and said again: "Let them come on board."

Li Yuanxiu ordered his soldiers to put down the boat, and within ten minutes, two big men were brought onto the boat.

The people on the shore looked up and talked a lot.

No one thought that the emperor would really pay attention to these two big men.At the moment, the ardent expectations for the Southern Song Dynasty court in my heart are even more intense.

The two big men were brought to the boat with excited faces, allowed the guards to search them, and then knelt down in front of Zhao Dongting's cabin, "The grassmen kowtowed to the emperor."

Zhao Dongting said in the cabin: "What is the grievance between you two?"

The big man on the left said: "Your Majesty, my name is Zhao Da, and this is my brother Zhao Hu. My two brothers were tenant tenants in the suburbs of Haikang County, and the family was harmonious. The two brothers served their elderly parents at home, but two months ago, I My brothers took my sister-in-law to the city to do some shopping. Wu Shunchang, the damned county magistrate, saw my sister-in-law’s beauty, so he sent soldiers to my house to snatch my sister-in-law. My two brothers had martial arts skills, and they rebelled in anger. Wu Shunchang was actually He commanded the soldiers to kill my parents and family members. My brother and I escaped desperately, but he ordered them to be arrested again, and there is no way to accuse them. Please the emperor decide for us!"

After he finished speaking, Zhao Hu next to him couldn't help but gritted his teeth and began to cry in a low voice.He really hated it.

Zhao Dongting was also shocked when he heard it, "Why is Wu Shunchang so ruthless?"

Zhao Dao: "He is deeply respected by Ge Lijun, the former Zhizhou, and has always been domineering. The rape of women did not only happen to my two brothers. Please also ask the emperor to look into it."

"it is good."

Zhao Dongting was also angry in his heart, he didn't expect the magistrates of the Southern Song Dynasty to be corrupted to such an extent, he said loudly: "The two of you went to Haikang County with the boat. Can't spare him!"

At this moment, Zhao Dongting was so ambitious that he could not tolerate any sand in his eyes.

Surprised by the greeting, Zhao Dahe hurriedly thanked him.

They also had nowhere to go, and when they came to stop Zhao Dongting's boat, they probably didn't have the idea of ​​seeking death if they failed to file a lawsuit.

Not long after, the fleet started slowly again, moving forward.

The people on the shore told the imperial court that the two did not disembark, but stood at the bow of the boat, and some people who liked to watch the excitement rushed to Haikang County in small groups.
