Chapter 59 City Gate Celebration

It has to be said that although the Southern Song Dynasty court was on the verge of despair, the ministers who stayed by their side were all loyal ministers.

Lu Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang, and Zhang Shijie. If they had the intention to rebel, the Southern Song Dynasty court would not have been able to continue the present.

Most of the slandered ministers like Chen Yizhong who have not been strong in their hearts have left long ago. This can also be said to be an unexpected gain in exile for several years.

At this point, Zhao Dongting initially established the foundation of the official system of the Southern Song Dynasty court.

Nearly noon, there were suddenly drums outside the city and the horns continued.

The soldiers of the three armies gathered.

Zhao Dongting left the bedroom again and took Li Yuanxiu, Yinger and Le Chan to the south gate of the palace.

Le Chan knew that it was the three armies holding a celebration banquet. Thinking about her identity, she didn't want to go, but was forced to pull him by Zhao Dongting. She was moved and was helpless.

She naturally realized that the little emperor was particularly close to her and dependent on her.

By then, all the ministers had arrived and stood on the city wall. Concubine Yang was also present, wearing gorgeous clothes, extremely beautiful.

They were all in front of them with long wooden tables with some wine, vegetables and pastries on them.

Concubine Yang Shu was holding a child about seven or eight years old in her hand, with a dull look on her face. She was Zhao, the half-brother of the same father and King Guang, Zhao Bing.

According to historical facts, after Zhao died of illness, Lu Xiufu supported him as the emperor. After less than two years of reign, Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea to commit suicide by jumping on Yashan.

Now that Zhao Dongting has traveled over, Zhao Bing has no fate to be the emperor, so he can only continue to be his King Guang.

Zhao Dongting walked to the side of Concubine Yang Shu, gently called out the initial consonant, touched Zhao Bing's head, then walked up to the top of the city and faced outside the city.

The sky was a little dark, and the clouds covered the top.

Under the city were tens of thousands of soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty. The imperial guards in front of the hall, the flying army, the guardian army, the guardian army, the Yuan army surrendered soldiers, and the later Leizhou army surrendered soldiers were all in the array. Several military formations were clearly arranged in square formations, with tight armor, flags waving, and swords and guns.

In front of each of the soldiers, there were long wooden tables half a man tall, spreading from one end of the queue to the other end, which was more than two hundred meters long.

There are also a lot of wine and food on these wooden tables, and there is a faint fragrance of wood, which is made by hundreds of craftsmen overnight.

Zhao Dongting was not afraid of spending money, nor was hesitant to spending money, but he never dared to treat these soldiers who wanted to fight bloody battles for the Southern Song Dynasty.

As for the surrendered soldiers, they naturally did not have such treatment. They could only watch from a distance, without armor or weapons.

Smelling the rich aroma of wine, they could only swallow their saliva secretly.

As soon as Zhao Dongting came to the city, tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison: "Keep to the emperor!"

This earth-shaking shout rolled up the dust on the ground, and seemed to shake off the black clouds in the sky.

Zhao Dongting waved his hand slightly, and the three armies immediately became solemn.

He said loudly: "Thank you for your hard work for me, the Song Dynasty, and fight bravely against the enemy!"

As he said that, he looked at Li Yuanxiu on the city wall.

Li Yuanxiu brought the wine to him.

Zhao Dongting poured a glass of wine, held it in his hand, and said, "But this glass of wine, I will first to toast the soldiers who fell from the Song Dynasty. They followed me to this deserted island in Benzhou, and were loyal to me. I really didn't have the ability to take them back. It was my fault. I would like to wish the heroes and the souls of the dead! May their souls protect us, let us expel the Yuan thieves and restore the Song Dynasty!"

After saying that, he drank the wine in his glass.

The soldiers under the city heard what he said clearly, and couldn't help but feel moved, shouting loudly: "Respect the dead souls!"

The soldiers drank all the wine in their glasses.

The sounds of respect for the dead resounded in front of the entire southern city wall of the palace.

The dark clouds rolled, as if the souls of the soldiers were responding, and they were trying their best to expel the Yuan thieves and restore the Song Dynasty.

Countless soldiers of the three armies burst into tears, and some even fell to the ground.

Among those soldiers who died were their relatives, brothers, and even fathers and sons.

When the shouts gradually stopped, Zhao Dongting poured another glass of wine and said loudly: "I wish you this glass of wine again. I wish you loyalty, courage and courage. I have the first to ascend to the great treasure. It is a blessing for the Song Dynasty and my blessing. I only hope that I can take you, the group of wolf and tiger troops, to travel thousands of miles to my hometown in my lifetime!"

After saying that, Zhao Dongting drank all the wine in his glass again.

He was young and had a bad bone. At this time, he drank two cups in a row and his face was flushed.

"Return to the homeland!"

"Return to the homeland!"

The soldiers shouted loudly, mixed with countless sobs.

It is difficult to see the hometown when they are wandering overseas. I don’t know how many of them see the hometown in their dreams, and then suddenly wake up and shed tears silently.

It was the loyalty and righteousness in their hearts that supported them to come to Benzhou Island with the court, and it was the loyalty and righteousness in their hearts that supported them to live until now.

No one doesn't want to return to that place, that prosperous Lin'an.

The majestic and magnificent imperial city, the extremely spacious imperial military training ground, the overpass where artists perform acrobatics, the Qujia alley where many idle people gathered in cock-fighting cricket-fighting cricket-fighting cricket-fighting crickets, and the Nanhu where countless flower boats swayed every night, and the courtesans who were posing in a stunning manner.

Of course, what I miss the most is my own home, which may be simple but always makes people feel warm.

More and more soldiers choked and even cried loudly, mostly those guards who followed Lin'an.

Even many of the ministers on the city wall couldn't help but shed tears.

Zhao Dongting poured another glass of wine and held it in his hand, "This glass of wine, I am disrespectful to the heavens and the earth, is a broken-headed wine prepared for the Yuan thief. One day, I will let the Yuan thief have such a cup!"

After saying that, Zhao Dongting smashed the wine glass in his hand heavily on the top of the city wall.

Under the city, Yue Peng, Su Quandang, Liu Hongyi and other generals burst into tears and smashed the porcelain bowls in their hands. Even the surrendered general Wanyan Zhang could not help but be moved.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered his hometown, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, and the Great Jin Dynasty before it was destroyed by the Yuan army.
