The farther you are from your hometown, the stronger your homesickness will be. The closer you are to your hometown, the more you are.

He returned to the Song Dynasty once a year. This was not only what Zhao Ren had to do, but also a promise to the soldiers who followed him. He did not want to see any soldiers flee from Jerusalem and return to the Song Dynasty himself.

So he promised to take them back to the Song Dynasty every year, and that if they do not come in the next year, he could decide by himself. The Song Dynasty was a recruiting system and was recruited by soldiers. He could not restrict others from staying in Jerusalem during the Chinese New Year and in the distant West.

This is not fair to the soldiers and their families, but when Zhao Ren told Yan Shu and Wang Anshi, he was opposed by both of them.

Wang Anshi said anxiously: "Your Highness, these soldiers are the most reliable power we bring from the Song Dynasty. Once they are taken away, the consequences will be unimaginable! Jerusalem is thousands of miles away from the Song Dynasty. Once there is a strange movement, all the previous efforts will be wasted. Even if the Song Dynasty is powerful, it will be beyond its reach!"

Yan Shu said slowly: "If your highness is worried about changes in the army, Yan Shu can stay and take into account the overall situation!"

Wang Anshi also said anxiously: "Minister can also stay and take care of Xianggong Yan!"

Zhao Ren smiled and said, "Don't you both want to go home to visit your relatives?" Before Yan Shu and Wang Anshi answered, Zhao Ren said, "The soldiers in the army also think that the distance is too far. It's okay for hundreds of years and four years. After all, they are in the Song Dynasty, but in Jerusalem, thousands of miles away, they are in the king capital of the West for a year, and the pain of homesickness is also harsh! This year is the first year, and Gu must take them back. Only when they go back can they have confidence and hope, and they can still willingly follow Gu Wang back here in the second year!"

Wang Anshi was a little worried and said, "What should the garrison of Jerusalem?" He had already regarded this place as a vassal of the Song Dynasty. Jerusalem was the capital of the kingdom, just like the capital of God in the Song Dynasty, and Jerusalem's position in the Kingdom of Israel was equally important.

If he did not leave a powerful force behind, he would be really worried.

Zhao Ren smiled and said, "The King is worried that the Lord can take this place once, and he can take this place countless times. As for the built capital, the Lord believes that the Jews and everyone here can protect it! After all, the True God Cult is here, after all, their belief is here. As for the Roman Catholic Church and the Crusaders, the Lord does not believe that they dare to attack Jerusalem by risking the world!"

Zhao Ren finally convinced these two husbands. Wang Anshi's stubbornness is useless here. He himself knew that what Zhao Ren said was correct, and he was worried, but the correct words were always correct and you could not refute them.

But then again, the main reason why the Song army's combat effectiveness is so powerful is the system in the army. The generals' words in the army are just a matter of words, and the soldiers are willing to believe their words and obey them.

Since Zhao Ren gave the army a promise, it must be implemented, otherwise his prestige in the army will diminish sharply, which is something that no one wants to see.

When Zhao Ren announced the news of his return to the Song Dynasty, all the soldiers shouted excitedly, shaking the entire city of Jerusalem.

Let the people here know that in a few days their messengers will temporarily leave and return to the east!

The people of Jerusalem took to the streets spontaneously. They knew that Zhao Ren was an Eastern prince and declared himself a human being, not a transcendent human being.

As long as you are a human, you will have seven emotions and six desires. This is an irreversible fact and is also a human original sin. However, this young prince from the East is a kind and kind monarch.

For the sake of family affection and parents, he was even willing to leave this place full of glory, a place that respects him as a god.

And there were actually the Eastern army leaving with him. This invincible army was about to escort their prince away and return to the Eastern Empire together!

Everyone wants to go home, but after all, they just took Jerusalem. After all, everything here is just starting. The soldiers originally thought they would stay here for a few years before returning home, and it would take even longer.

But who would have thought that he would be able to return to his hometown to visit relatives this year? Many people think this is rumor, but when Zhao Ren announced that everyone would not admire Zhao Ren, the young prince.

Speaking of doing it, this is what Zhao Zhen has asked Zhao Ren since he was a child. In this era, credit is even more important than later generations. As a person, if you don’t have credit, you will almost be unable to move forward in the Song Dynasty.

The same is true in this world. The West's emphasis on credit will even add it to its name.

What Zhao Ren does now is to fulfill his promises. This is a quality that a ruler must possess. It sounds simple, but it is something that most people rarely do.

The news also spread throughout the city of Jerusalem, and the incident of the prince of the East was quickly accepted. After all, no one dared to attack Jerusalem at present.

The Romans dared not, nor the Seljuks dared not, and the Crusaders were even more shocked by the power of Jerusalem.

Both Haifang Port and Dongfang Port are stationed with powerful fleets of the Song Empire. This is a visit and also a deterrent.

Zhao Ren and Zhao Yun had no idea of ​​returning to the Song Dynasty from the road. They finally decided to leave the fleet belonging to Zhao Yun in Haifang Port in case of an accident. As for the South China Sea Fleet of Rat Three, they would still return to the Song Dynasty.

After all, it takes longer to travel by sea than by land, and the oppression of Rome is limited. If it continues to be oppressed, it may be counterproductive.

The South China Sea Fleet of Rat 3 is slower than Zhao Ren and Zhao Yun on the road, so let them take a step first.

Before the Chinese New Year, the most ideal result was to fight for the soldiers who followed Zhao Ren to return to the Song Dynasty, and the army also received generous rewards.

Some of these rewards came from the attack on the Crusaders, and some came from Zhao Ren's capture of treasures from the palace of Jerobo III.

Zhao Ren came to expand territory for the Song Dynasty, not to make a fortune here. He didn't need so much wealth, just reward the army.

This is how the army is. They can fight to death for you, but you also have to give them benefits. No one in the world will die for you in vain.

The Song Dynasty was strict in military discipline and numerous military rules, and the soldiers followed it, but rewards and military pay were also required.

Weapons and equipment are also the best, so the combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty's army is so strong.

More than two months before the Chinese New Year, Zhao Ren led the army to his way home. This was a long march, and a march full of hope and happiness.
