Returning to Beijing has been put on the agenda, and under the supervision of Zhao Bing, all aftermath work has also accelerated.

On August 28, Zhao Bing issued an edict on the Guishan Mountain to build a cemetery of the fallen soldiers in the Jingxiang Battle, and a temple for the loyal and martyrs to worship the spiritual throne, and enjoy the commemoration forever. At the same time, he attended the groundbreaking ceremony and wrote a plaque of "Loyal and Martyrs for the Eternal" and Wang Yinglin made an inscription and engraved the stele to commemorate it.

On August 29, Zhao Bing issued an edict to rebuild the Iron Buddha Temple outside the West Gate, asking the monks to preside over it, and granted fifty certificates of vassals and fifty hectares of land as temple property, to worship the spiritual positions of the people who died in the Battle of Xiangfan, to save the souls of the dead, and ascend to the Pure Land as early as possible.

On August 30, Zhao Bing issued an order to reward the soldiers who were meritorious. More than 100 officers and soldiers who participated in the war won the title and more than 700 promoted. He was given 200,000 stagnant of money and 50,000 silk and silk to reward the army. He also erected the victory of the Xiangyang Battle at the southern gate of Xiangyang, engraved the achievements of the officers and soldiers who participated in the war and passed down for generations.

However, when evaluating the merits, the Sixth Army and the Seventh Army had a dispute over the titles of the First Regiment of Xiangyang and the First Division of Xiangyang. The Sixth Army insisted that they first climbed the southern city of Xiangyang and raised the military flag; while the Seventh Army believed that although the Sixth Army was the first to climb the city, they did not make substantial progress and could not make any decisions. They climbed to the West City in one fell swoop, and defeated the enemy defending the city, opening up a path.

Wu Longqi and Pan Nian were blushing for this, and no one wanted to let him go. In the end, the lawsuit was fought in front of the imperial court. Zhao Bing finally scolded the two people, and for some credit, he didn't even talk about his feelings. He then mixed up with the title of "Xiangyang First Regiment" to the 2nd Regiment of the 7th Army, and the title of "Xiangyang First Division" was awarded to the 1st Division of the Sixth Army, and the title of "Xiangyang First Division" was awarded to the 1st Division of the Sixth Army, and the case was forgotten.

On the first day of September, Zhao Bing summoned the elders of Xiangfan, gentry, merchants and famous scholars in Jingxiang to the camp, had an open and honest conversation with them, listened to the opinions on how to restore the prosperity of Jingxiang as soon as possible, and accepted their suggestions for restoring the Xiangyang Academy and restoring the people's livelihood. After the conversation, Zhao Bing held a banquet to entertain everyone, and encouraged them to contribute to the construction of Jingxiang and the revival of the Song Dynasty.

On the second day of September, Zhao Bing summoned military and political officials in Jingxiang to meet with him. He talked about the current situation. Before reaching a peace talk with the Mongolian Yuan, the military situation was still serious and we must be prepared to fight back. Local officials should complete the land and population statistics as soon as possible, implement them as soon as possible in accordance with the established plan, and resume production and material circulation as soon as possible. At the same time, we must investigate rebellions and bring them to justice as soon as possible to deter illegal activities. In addition, we must cooperate with the military to prepare for the war to defend Jingxiang. This string must be tense at all times and cannot be relaxed.

Then, Wang Yinglin announced a series of personnel appointments and adjustments. Tian Zhong was temporarily appointed as the governor of Jingxiang, and also served as the commander of the Eighth Army, in charge of military affairs. Ying Xi was appointed as the observer of Xiangyang, responsible for the establishment of the Jingxiangzhou Army, and responsible for the task of maintaining local public security and fighting the harassment of the Mongol Yuan; Xie Ming was removed from his position as the governor of the Eighth Army, and transferred to the prefect of Xiangyang; Lin Zhiwu was removed from his position as the transfer envoy of Huguang, and transferred to the pacification envoy of Huguang, and presided over the government affairs of Huguang.

In view of the current situation, in order to alleviate the logistics supply pressure, the Seventh Army stationed in Xiangyang and took over the defense of Guanghua Army, Fancheng and Gucheng; the Eighth Army, the Second Artillery Division and the Second Cavalry Division retreated to Yicheng as the second-line reserve team and reinforced the Xiangfan battlefield at any time; the Sixth Army retreated to Ezhou as the third-line reserve team, and prepared to support the Sichuan-Shu battlefield.

On the fourth day of the September 1st, Zhao Bing had a closed-door conversation with Lin Zhiwu and Tian Zhong. The king and his ministers had a secret meeting for a whole day. It is said that Ni Liang personally served as the guard, and all the idle people could not get close to him. As for what he said, no one knew.

In the early morning of the fifth day of September, the emperor boarded the boat from Fancheng Wharf and quietly left Xiangfan. Only a group of senior military and political officials were seen farewell, without alarming the people and soldiers. Looking at the fleet that was sailing, everyone saluted deeply to the imperial boat. The little emperor personally fought for thousands of miles, annihilated hundreds of thousands of enemies, and expanded the border thousands of miles. It was a great contribution. He should have accepted the congratulations from thousands of soldiers and civilians, but he did not want to disturb the people, so he left quietly...

…………

Under the escort of the imperial guards and naval forces, he walked down the Han River. In order to return to Beijing as soon as possible, Zhao Bing ordered all the chariots to be left in Xiangyang and requisitioned some civilian ships to carry the horses of the cavalry brigade. More than a hundred warships were tied to each other's head and tail, and it was spectacular. The ships along the way avoided them one after another. Zhao Bing had been handling official duties day and night for days and night, and was already exhausted. After getting on the boat, he fell asleep and did not wake up until the next morning.

"The official family is awake, and they sleep for a day and a night, which scared the old slave!" The emperor was drowsy. Wang De watched it many times. Hearing the movement, he hurried forward to serve him, and said in fear.

"Haha, I'm too tired, and I didn't expect that I would sleep so peacefully on the boat!" Zhao Bing stretched and rubbed his face again. He didn't know what was going on. It was also possible that he had lived on that boat for too long in his previous life, so he was sick. Unlike others who were swaying on the boat, he couldn't eat well or sleep well, he slept more peacefully.

"The official family is too tired, and it should have a good rest." Wang De knew His Majesty's habits and had already made people prepare hot water for the little emperor to take a shower and change his clothes, and at the same time he quickly prepared breakfast.

"I am young now. I'll be fine if I sleep well. Where are you now?" Zhao Bing got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom, jumped into the tub and asked.

"I have passed Yicheng and will be in Hankou in half a day. Wang Xiang came to ask if the boat was stopped in front of him to rest!" Wang De served the emperor and rubbed his back.

"Don't disturb the local area. Make sure to replenish water and try to keep the food at night. There is no need to inform the local area first. Just send someone to purchase and arrange it!" Zhao Bing soaked in hot water, feeling very comfortable and told him.

"Yes, I will know them later. Wang Xiang has come to ask the Holy One in person several times!" Wang De said repeatedly.

"Wang Xiang has worked very hard recently. You should take care of him and don't be careless!" Zhao Bing ordered. He is still a great young man, and Wang Yinglin is already sixty-five years old. He is busy day by day like himself, and he is even harder than himself.

"The old slave specially arranged two people to serve him, and his food and clothing are more refined than those of the official family!" Wang De replied.

"Well, the imperial doctor needs to take the pulse every day, and the food must be soft and rotten. The boat is cold and the clothes and quilts should be added in time. If the shortage is short, please take it from me. Don't be careless!" Zhao Bing instructed again.

"Yes, I remember it in my heart!" Wang De nodded repeatedly.

After washing up, Zhao Bing changed into a loose long suit before going to have a meal. His meal was still simple, a plate of cooked cakes, a bowl of rice porridge, and a meat sauce and pickled vegetables. He was also hungry and had a very delicious meal.

"Wang De, this shrimp is very delicious. Where did it come from?" A small yellow gate sent a plate of fried river shrimp. Zhao Bing took a bite and found it very delicious and pointed at it.

"The brothers in the guard camp knew that the official family liked river food. When they were sailing yesterday, they fished two-foot-long carp, osmanthus fish more than one-foot-long length, river balls, grass breams, and many river crabs. Some old slaves couldn't name them. The shrimps were also caught with the net and were all raised in water. The official family could eat them at any time." Wang De replied.

"Okay, I have a good time. I have fresh fish and shrimps all the way!" Zhao Bing was very happy when he heard this, and his appetite was wide open. After eating three pancakes, he swept away all the porridge and vegetables.

This scared Wang De so much that he advised His Majesty not to eat too much. Instead, he was ridiculed by His Majesty and said that if he didn't eat too much, how could he call him to eat? He felt sad when he heard this. His Majesty was the lord of all people, and he had to provide for hundreds of millions of people, but he saved money. Some of the river food that was within his reach could make the little emperor so happy.

After breakfast, Zhao Bing stepped onto the top deck and looked at the river. It was late autumn. It was clear and the weather was clear and the grass was long and the birds were flying south. When migratory birds flew south, they watched the water birds chasing the fleet and the river fish jumped out of the water from time to time. He felt that the world was vast and his spirits were refreshed. He could not help but frowned again and sighed.

"Your Majesty, why do you sigh when you win?" At some point, Wang Yinglin also came to the deck and heard His Majesty sigh and asked.

"Zhao Wang, the land of Jingchu is a land of fish and rice, but now it is hard to see people in a hundred miles. It has become a nest for birds and beasts. It is really regrettable!" Zhao Bing looked back.

As a modern visitor, Zhao Bing knew that in modern people's understanding, the Jianghan Plain was definitely a land of fish and rice, even better than the Central Plains and Guanzhong Plains. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the richest places in China were the Jiangsu, Jiangnan and the Two Lake Plains, and the grain accounted for almost one-seventh of the country, and Hubei was also among the top five provinces in the country. It can be said that these two places have good weather and there will be no famine in the country.

Even at this time, after the Jingchu area moved southward in Jinshi, a large number of northern populations fell into Jingzhou area, and brought advanced agricultural knowledge and skills. Jingzhou also became a major city second only to Jinling. By the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, a large number of northerners moved south to the Jingxiang area. At this time, the Jianghan Plain was once again developed, and the gap with the Central Plains further narrowed, and its importance in the country began to be highlighted.

Nowadays, due to the destruction of the war, the population is lost, large areas of land are abandoned, water conservancy facilities are disrepaired, and there is no prosperity in the past. I don’t know how much energy and time it takes to restore it.

"Your Majesty has great ambitions and worry about the country and the people is a blessing for all the people in the world. As long as you are inspiring to govern, it will not take many years. This place will be reclaimed and turned into a fertile land with all kinds of fields!" Wang Yinglin looked at the two sides and pointed at the words.

"Can Wang Xiang be willing to help the people and how many years will I work hard?" Zhao Bing asked with a look of his face.
