At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 180 Decoy
"Mr. Hanjiang, Mr. Hanjiang?"

Zhao Fu heard a familiar sound outside and went to open the door.

There was a young man outside, a proton from the south, who had studied under him for a while, his name was Cheng Wenhai.

"Student Cheng Wenhai has met Mr. Han Jiang." Cheng Wenhai bowed, and said: "Guochao and Yuanguo have negotiated, Guochao releases the captives, Yuanguo releases the hostages, and the students are also released. Entrusted by the angel, protect Mr. Go south."

"Really?" Zhao Fu grabbed Cheng Wenhai excitedly.

"It's absolutely true. If I walk quickly, I might be able to catch up with the Empress Dowager and her party." Cheng Wenhai replied.

It took him a while to get the news, but he was still a little excited.

His uncle Cheng Feiqing was demoted to the Yuan Dynasty after being appointed as a military judge in Jianchang, so he became a hostage in Dadu. After Jiang Wanzai and Wen Tianxiang returned to Jiangxi too quickly, Cheng Feiqing returned to Jiangxi.

There are many people like this, and the hostages they sent were not mistreated, but were only placed under residential surveillance. They had no status or freedom. It would be great to be able to go back to the south.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Zhao Fu looked up to the sky and sighed, "But I don't want to be able to return to my hometown in my lifetime. Even if I die, I will have no regrets!"

"Sir, please don't die, otherwise the government will free up [-] households in vain." Cheng Wenhai said.

"I feel ashamed that the officials love me so much." Zhao Fu lowered his head.

He was a bad old man, he died halfway, and he was worth [-] households?

"There are thousands of returnees from the south, but Mr. is the most expensive. Don't let the officials down." Cheng Wenhai said.

After talking for a while, a car stopped at the entrance of the courtyard.

Zhao Fu was worth so much that Yuan Ting was afraid that he would die on the way, so he gave him carriages and horses, and he stayed at inns along the way. The treatment was not bad.

On the way, the two couldn't help but talk about ethnicity.

"The official family consolidated the foundation of the country, but actually cut off the foundation of the Yuan Dynasty with majestic methods. From now on, who dares to say that Kublai Khan is orthodox?" Cheng Wenhai sighed.

Zhao Fu smiled and said: "Do people like Liu Mengyan care about their origin?"

It's not that Zhao Fu has a sense of moral superiority, but that leaving Mengyan was too much. Not only the south, but also the north looked down upon him.

When he was ordered to find out the real danger, he immediately threw away the Zhao family, and then picked it up again and used it as a qualification for promotion. It was really unscrupulous.

Not to mention that the two of them stayed overnight all the way south, let's just say that in Majiaji between Sizhou and Linhuai, the Song and Yuan Dynasties were already exchanging hostages.

The first batch of hostages have arrived. They are all the family members of various officials, and the exchanges are all ordinary Yuan soldiers.

According to the agreement between the two parties, the Song Dynasty would release [-] prisoners, including [-] households and [-] thousand households, while the Yuan Dynasty only released more than [-] prisoners.

There was no way, Song Fang wanted people like San Gong and Zhao Fu, there were many literati and bachelors, and their value was relatively higher.

Regardless of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, a large number of soldiers were placed on guard to prevent the other party from breaking the agreement, but everyone was exercising restraint.

At this time, Zhao Cunzhong and Chen Wei were chatting.

"I have to say that your Majesty is extremely talented. He was able to ride a horse and shoot arrows in just half a year. If it weren't for his precious status, he would have become a brave general." Zhao Cunzhong said.

"You ride horses for His Majesty and are not teaching equestrian skills in Lin'an. How did you get here?" Chen Wei asked.

Zhao Cunzhong glanced at the prisoners who were leaving and whispered: "Your Majesty has arrived at Xuyi and is going to take the Empress Dowager back to Lin'an."

"What?" Chen Wei was shocked.

"Don't make any noise, you must be vigilant." Zhao Cunzhong said.

About to return home, the prisoners were all excited, except for one who only looked at Zhao Cunzhong, looking thoughtful.

He is Dong Sanmu, who never surrendered even if he was captured, and who is completely devoted to Yuanting.

After a moment, both sides confirmed that it was correct and led their troops back.

As the top officials presiding over the exchange, both Chen Wei and Zheng Zhiyi must appease their own personnel.

Dong Sanmu bowed and said: "Wanhu, the villain saw the traitor in Majiaji and suddenly stabbed him out."

"Are you sure?" Zheng Zhiyi asked.

"The villain used to be his personal guard, and there was nothing wrong with it." Dong Sanmu said: "The Southern Thief spreads rumors about traitors every day in order to sway our minds. Now that guy is the Zhao family's children's equestrian teacher. The villain only hates Being alone and weak, we were unable to assassinate that guy, which is really despicable."

"You go back and recuperate." Zheng Zhiyi said.

Returning to Linhuai City, Zheng Zhiyi immediately went to see General Huaiyuan and Marshal Gao Yuanchang of Huai'an Road.

"Marshal, the Emperor of Song may be in Xuyi City." Zheng Zhiyi said.

Gao Yuanchang was startled, and asked: "The news is true?"

"It's just speculation." Zheng Zhiyi said: "Dong Sanmu from a hundred households saw Hu Zachu, and he is the equestrian professor of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Hu Zachu never leaves Lin'an. He is gathering at Majia today, or he may be here for Sangong."

"It is normal for the emperor to be sent out personally when he is appointed, and it is not enough to infer that the emperor of Song Dynasty is here personally." Wang Chen, the manager of Huai'an Road, said.

"The lot should be drawn carefully to check for details." said General Wu Jie, Navy gunner and various craftsmen, Marshal Xue Sijianu.

Everyone nodded.

If the little emperor of Song Dynasty was really on the opposite side, he must use all his strength to strike.

If you capture or kill the little emperor, will you still be far away from overthrowing the Song Dynasty?
Vulnerable.

You know that you can’t stand up without your backbone.

So based on the sudden stabbing, Zheng Zhiyi came to Gao Yuanchang to discuss.

Of course, the news is not clear yet, and the troops may be ambushed, so they have to find out.

"The only possibility for the young emperor to go north was to welcome Xie Daoqing. People in the Song Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. But Xie Daoqing was asked to slow down, just... that he contracted an illness on the way and had to stop to recuperate." Zheng Zhiyi added a detail.

Huai'an Xuyi has not been recovered for a long time, and it is on the front line. The little emperor took the risk to come, but he would not take the risk to stay for a long time. He must have picked up the people and left.

On the one hand, I used Xie Daoqing to pull it, and on the other hand, I contacted the detailed work left behind to confirm the situation.

The little emperor that several people were thinking about did come to Lin'an, but he didn't cross the river. Instead, he took the canal to Zhenjiang and then went to Jiankang Mansion.

Zhenjiang was greatly damaged after a bloody battle, and Jiankang Prefecture was defeated without a fight, but it was not much better.

What I saw along the way was that there were few people and many fields were barren.

For example, in Xiashu Town, the original post station and inspection department had a population of more than 3000. At this time, the population of the town was only more than [-], and the damage from the plague and war was vividly reflected.

"Your Majesty, do you want to move the people of Yangzhou back?" Ye Li asked.

Zhao Shi said: "Yangzhou is also in decline, and moving back will not help. Let's develop slowly."

"Hey..." Ye Li sighed.

He came with him but would not go back. He was going to Jurong to be the county magistrate. How could he achieve political achievements without a population?
"Now that Jianghuai has become a battlefield, the people will inevitably move south. The county magistrate might as well think of a way." New Living Lang Wen Daosheng made suggestions.

Doesn’t Ye Li know this?I know too well, but the states and counties along the Yangtze River are all watching eagerly, waiting for immigrants from the north of the Yangtze River.

Moreover, Yangzhou and other places in the north of the Yangtze River are now really sparsely populated. The local government is maintaining the original houses and waiting for people to come. How can they rob them?
Originally, Guangdong and Fujian were both narrow and densely populated, but Zhendong Road and Nanning Country absorbed a lot, and the situation improved greatly. The people were reluctant to move, and the government really had no choice.

"Your Majesty." Duo'erde, who was driving the car...oh, he has changed his name to Zhao Fengxiao, said: "Look at that place, it seems to be the one left by Yuan Lu. Can Taipu Temple choose several places to raise horses?"

The Yuan generals occupied extensive fertile land, part of which was cultivated, and part of which was turned into pasture. What Zhao Fengxiao wanted was pasture.

"Yes, horse farms are set up all over the south and north of the Yangtze River to raise horses for the army and the people." Zhao responded.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. If the number of horses cannot be doubled within three years, come and see me." Zhao Fengxiao vowed.

One hundred stallions, one thousand mares, double that to two thousand, which is really not much.

But there is no way. There are few horses in Jiangnan and the Song army lacks cavalry. This is the current situation.

Fortunately, the Tongzhou Army has always retained a large number of war horses, and with the war horses captured this time, it can also collect nearly [-] horses.

"Not only must we raise horses, but we must also raise more cattle." Zhao Shi ordered.

Zhao Fengxiao agreed and thought about how to get a breeding cow.
