Chapter 354

While Qiongzhou reported the victory to His Majesty and delivered a detailed report, it also reported the victory to the court and sent the seized seal, which caused quite a stir. With its own strength, Qiongzhou did not move one army and one soldier in the court, and achieved the record of annihilation of tens of thousands of enemies, destroyed it, and seized more than 500 warships. Some people did not believe it, and immediately asked the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War to send personnel to Qiongzhou for inspection and remark again. But some people thought that this move was purely Zhang Shijie's troublesome, which was clearly envious and jealous of the Mongolians. He was still jealous of the virtuous and suspected others.

Zhao Bing didn't care about any investigation, because he knew that Qiongzhou would not deceive him or him. The good news to the court was previewed by him. Some of the parts were also modified, and the record was "shrinkable". Re-investigation would only make them slap themselves in the face. For the argument, he privately hoped that the more intense the truth, the better. The more the debate, the clearer the truth, it would make some people's face louder, and at the same time, people could see the current situation and think about how to re-take the team.

The court was busy for a few days, because no one had the courage to go to Qiongzhou to check their military achievements. If it was confirmed, it would have offended the envoy Zhang Shumi. If the report was not true, could the group of people in Qiongzhou let them come back? Everyone knows that Qiongzhou was managed by His Majesty. Although His Majesty said it does not count, but it will not count forever. When one day he found out the old accounts, he would not be the one who was unlucky. Since no one was willing to go, he could only think that the good news was true.

If it is true, it will be rewarded according to merit. So the Shangshu Province drafted a reward list, including Ying Jieyan, Jiang Yan, Zhao Mengjin and Liu Zhu, four of them were awarded titles and titles to Marquis; Chen Renweng, Zhuang Siqi and other leaders were awarded titles to the Chief of the Army; the Chief of the War, the Deputy General, the Left and Right Wu Dafu; more than 200 soldiers who had made great contributions in the war were transferred to the titles to Chengxinlang and Chengyilang; and he also gave a thousand taels of gold and 2,000 silk and silk to reward the army. Of course, Zhao Bing had no objection, so he immediately criticized it after reporting it, but he still felt that the people in the court were too stingy and gave too few things, so he had to pay it back.

No matter what, the victory of this battle gave the court a shot of a heart-warming agent, which greatly boosted the morale of the escorts and the civilians. Of course, there were also disharmonious voices. They thought that the navy of Qiongzhou defeated Ali Hague would inevitably alarm the Yuan court, causing the enemy chiefs to be furious, and sent large troops to fight, which put the court in a more dangerous situation and had no hope of peace. But the mainstream voice was still upward, thinking that this victory would at least make Ali Hague unable to go into the sea to pursue the court, ensuring the safety of the left wing...

However, things in the world are impermanent. As the saying goes, "Fortune is neither good nor bad is not singular." As soon as the victory is achieved, something happened again and again. October later, the main force of the Yuan army went south several times. Wang Daofu and Ling Zhen, the Minister of War in Guangzhou, failed to meet the enemy and retreated into the city. However, they were soon captured by the Yuan general Li Heng, capturing more than 300 warships and more than 200 officials. Wang Daofu and Ling Zhen broke out and retreated to Dongpu. Guangzhou and Yashan were close to each other. The court not only lost the outer barrier of 6, but also the water, and 6 were cut off by the Yuan army, which made the court panic again.

Wen Tianxiang, who was refused entry into the court, had no choice but to go to Chaoyang, Zou Qing, Liu Zijun and others to lead the crowd to meet. Because the local thief Chen Yi and Liu Xing harmed one side and were like separatist, Wen Tianxiang first attacked the two giant thieves, killed Liu Xing, but ran away another bandit Chen Yi. Chen Yi was a pirate and immediately surrendered to Zhang Hongfan, the general of the Yuan army who was leading the boat army to Chaozhou from sea to sea. The robber leader acted as a guide for the Yuan army and made a big move in Chaoyang. The army of the governor was outnumbered, and Wen Tianxiang was defeated and left Haifeng. Zhang Hongzheng, the younger brother of Zhang Hongzheng, led a cavalry and chased him relentlessly.

Wen Tianxiang led his troops to Wupoling. Wen Tianxiang and his group were gasping for food. When the Yuan soldiers saw the fireworks, they suddenly chased after him. At first, the Song soldiers thought it was a local peasant who did not warn him. They only appeared in front of him. Zhang Hongzheng's Yuan army cavalry suddenly came to an accident and caught him off guard. His troops did not have time to fight, and most of them were killed. Wen Tianxiang fled in a hurry and was caught by Wang Weiyi, a thousand households of the Yuan army. In desperation, he hurriedly took out the onion that he had been carrying with him and committed suicide. Due to the long storage period and the effect of the medicine was lost, he committed suicide and was captured alive.

Wen Tianxiang's general Zou Qing was gangly, and before he could approach the Yuan soldiers, he used his sword to attack him. The soldiers helped him to Nanling before they died. Liu Zijun was also captured by another Yuan army nearby. He hurriedly shouted, claiming to be Wen Tianxiang, hoping to delay the army, and want Wen Tianxiang to have a chance to escape again. As a result, the two Yuan armies captured two "Wen Tianxiang" and "meeted on the way, each fighting for the authenticity", and insisted that they were "Wen Tianxiang". The Yuan general called several prisoners of the Song army and asked while killing them. Finally, he learned the true Wen Tianxiang they were going to capture.

Then, the Yuan army set up a big pot in the local area and cooked and killed Liu Zijun. The cruelty of the cooking made people slowly suffer and died. Liu Zijun kept scolding and refused to surrender until his death. At this time, Liu Zijun, Chen Longfu, Xiao Mingzhe, and Xiao Zi were all dead. Only Zhao Mengqi escaped, Zhang Tang, Xiong Gui, Wu Xishi, and Chen Ziquan were defeated and captured alive, and all were executed. Wen Tianxiang was escorted to Chaoyang and saw Zhang Hongfan. Since the Song army had not yet been completely destroyed, Zhang Hongfan knew that Wen Tianxiang was still "useful" and ordered people to detain him on the military ship...

The bad news came one after another, and the battle seemed to be coming on the Yashan Mountain. Zhang Shijie ordered all ships to prohibit leaving the port to prevent leakage. Of course, this also included Zhao Bing, which made the whale hunting game that lasted for many days and made him idle again. The sea could not be reached. On that day, Zhao Bing led a group of personal guards to the top of the Yashan Mountain behind the palace. Although the mountain was not high, standing on the top of the mountain, the natural scenery on the island was fully visible. Looking north, the fields were dotted with emerald green, the clouds were steaming, and the southeast looked far away. The vast sea was endless, with a lot of green, fishing sails, and the sky was far away; looking closer, the white waves were layered, silver sand was like a training; listening with the forest, the sound of waves. But the whole island was fully visible.

"Brother, I swear here that I will guard the Zhao family's country and revive the Song Dynasty!" Zhao Bing ordered people to put on incense tables, burn incense and paper to pray silently. The previous month, the emperor's mountain tomb was completed and the coffin was moved into the tomb. Because the country was in danger, in order to prevent the Mongols from digging the tomb once they left, they would use the form of secret burial. On the day of the spirit, the four gates of the palace were carried out by the coffin and went to all directions. Even Zhao Bing didn't know where the emperor was buried. Now he could only stand on the top of the mountain to make an oath to the emperor...
