Chapter 22
After arranging duties for the three new followers, the next step is how to return to the team.???
?The current situation is extremely unfavorable for them. It has been three days since they were separated from the brigade. Under the pursuit of the brigade of enemy troops, it is impossible to stop and wait even if the isolation ship fails to keep up. This causes the distance between the two to become increasingly large.
The bigger they are, the more they can't catch up. What's even worse is that they don't know where the court's next stop is, and even if they want to meet up, it's difficult to do so.
"Master Liu, did the imperial court decide where to go when they evacuated Quanzhou?" After a long silence, Zhao Mengjin couldn't help but break the silence and asked.
"Alas, I was seriously ill when I left Quanzhou, and I have no way of knowing the court's decision!" Liu Fu sighed.
"How was the situation before traveling to Fuzhou?" Zhao Bing interjected. He tried hard to recall his memories of this period of history, and what was in his mind were more of the major battles that occurred during the transition between the Song and Yuan Dynasties. How about this 'little thing'
I have paid attention to it, and besides, in history, I have never had such a hand in it, leading to the separation from the two kings.
Now Zhao Bing can only try to put together the major events of the Southern Song Dynasty that he knows about the death and rebirth of the Southern Song Dynasty based on the memories of his previous life. He can get the escape route of the small court and deduce its whereabouts at the moment. However, due to the difference between ancient and modern place names,
Due to changes and confusion of time and era, he was not sure whether his judgment was consistent with reality, but he had no choice but to give it a try.
"Your Highness, when the imperial court was rebuilt, only Liang-Guang Road and Fujian Road were still intact. However, in October the enemy began to attack Fujian Road in a large scale. We had to evacuate Fu'an to Quanzhou and turn south." Liu Fu replied sadly,
Facing a powerful enemy, although the new imperial court claimed to have more than 300,000 troops, its
Among them, only Zhang Shijie's more than 10,000 Yingzhou soldiers were regular troops. The rest were Xiang troops, defeated troops and newly recruited militiamen. Such a team was obviously no match for the elite Mongolian soldiers. Chen Yizhong and Zhang Shijie did not dare to resist the Mongolian army. After receiving the news
Then he immediately fled south, not daring to fight with him.
"I remember that before leaving Fu'an, Minister Wen had gone to Nanjianzhou to open a government and led tens of thousands of governor's troops to resist the enemy's southward advance. Did the imperial court come to Quanzhou to join them?" Zhao Bing recalled,
Verify what you know.
"Your Highness, I know from a certain family that Privy Councilor Wen is unable to defeat the Tatar attack. There are rumors that they have retreated to Zhangzhou." Zhao Mengjin continued.
"Well, that's right. We were separated from the brigade just outside Zhangzhou. The imperial court may have wanted to join forces with Envoy Wen to fight against the enemy." Liu Fu was not a fool, so he just listened to Zhao Mengjin's mention.
Thought of it.
"What Mr. Liu said makes sense, but the imperial court has thousands of ships and will not abandon them all. The most likely thing is that they will be docked at a certain port." Zheng Huchen nodded.
"This sea area is vast. Zhangzhou, Chaozhou, and Huizhou can all be docked. We can't just search for it here and there, right?" Zhuang Shilin took out the treasured nautical chart from his arms, spread it on the long table, and pointed, his face even more expressionless.
It doesn't look good. The imperial team is running in front, and they are chasing behind. If they don't know the exact spot, they either miss it or they can't catch up.
"That's not necessary. We have been separated from the brigade for five days, and they have many people and boats. They can't move quickly, and they also need to stop for supplies. There may not be too many ports that hide thousands of large and small boats!" Zhao
Bing frowned as he looked at the sea chart spread out on the table, and roughly drew a range.
This is a hand-drawn nautical chart. Compared with modern nautical charts, it is extremely crude and simple, not to mention accurate. Moreover, due to the different drawing methods, it is very difficult for him to look at it. It is also mixed with many secret notes.
I guess it's Tsuna's 'unique secret book', and they rely on it to keep
His status has now caused a lot of confusion for Zhao Bing. Fortunately, the islands and place names marked on the map can still be understood, but don't expect to get accurate data from them. He can only rely on the ship.
Rely on mental arithmetic to infer the approximate range.
b?i?q?
"His Highness's reminder is that the place is too small to hide, and it is impossible to obtain sufficient supplies. Moreover, it must be far away from the enemy, and there must be troops on the ground to support it. As a result, there are only a handful of ports that meet the requirements within the scope designated by His Highness.
Countable." Zhao
Meng Jin nodded in agreement, but doubts suddenly arose in his heart. Previously, he thought that His Highness showed his "human" ability with the help of Liu Fu, but judging from the current situation, His Highness did not get any hint from him, and what he thought
More comprehensive than that.
"What Zhao Da said is good. He is worthy of being a man who has led troops." Zhao Bing said, "When the imperial court was attacked in Quanzhou, the Yuan army had already appeared. As Master Liu said, most of the Fujian Road may have fallen into the hands of the enemy. Wen Wen
It was difficult for the Privy Council to gain a foothold in Nanjian State, so they had to retreat southward and into
Zhangzhou. Now that the Yuanshui Army has appeared on the sea surface of Zhangzhou, and most of the land is under the enemy's front, Privy Council Wen can only move towards Tingzhou or Chaozhou again. Based on time, it is estimated that the imperial brigade should withdraw to Guangnan East Road.
It is not impossible to move to Chaozhou in Huizhou for safety reasons."
"Has Your Highness read the book of war?" Zheng Huchen suddenly asked.
"Zheng Zhuangshi was joking. I had just started enlightenment when I left Lin'an, and before... I was taught by Mr. Liu until recently." After hearing this, Zhao Bing looked up and was startled. Several people looked at him intently.
His eyes were full of surprise and he thought to himself that it was not good. As he spoke, he forgot that he was still just a child, but he could only push Liu Fu.
"Master Liu is really a great talent!" Zheng Huchen turned to Liu Fu and saluted. They all say that famous teachers make great disciples. At this moment, no matter whether others believe it or not, he believed it anyway. The other two people also sent words of praise and their feelings about him.
I have also improved greatly, and I am thinking about whether I should get closer to Liu Fu in the future to prevent him from saying "bad things" about me to His Highness.
"Everyone is so impressed. His Highness is extremely intelligent and can draw parallels from analogy. How dare I take credit?" Liu Fu knew in his heart that he had only been teaching His Highness for a few days and had not finished teaching the Analects of Confucius. Moreover, he was not proficient in the art of war.
How to teach? But there was no way to explain at the moment, so I could only answer with a smile.
But His Highness's insightful analysis also surprised Liu Fu, and he even felt ashamed that he doubted the 'adventure' His Highness said. But when he looked at Ni Liang, who should have been standing at the cabin door, he was now guarding the closed door.
Suspicion suddenly arose in front of the bedroom door. Is there some secret that cannot be known to outsiders, or is there a master behind the scenes that I have always suspected exists?
Looking at everyone's performance, Zhao Bing was also very cautious, realizing that he had said too much inadvertently...
In his previous life, he stayed alone in an empty boat for several years and lost what a normal person should have, including experiences that match his age. He fantasized about how he would plan his life, realize his dreams, and have a different life if he were allowed to live again.
.
But when Zhao Bing really traveled through time and was reborn, when he thought about the problem again, he found that in addition to feeling at a loss about his new identity and the strange and dangerous environment he faced, there was also the issue of his age. Although he looked like a child, he had a psychological problem.
, his thoughts are still stuck at the age before time travel, which makes him have to be careful everywhere.
When he first came to this world, it was at a time of chaos. Zhao Bing, who had just arrived, was frightened by the bloody scene in front of him and couldn't figure out the situation. He was basically in a state of confusion. Of course, everyone who was eager to escape did not
Deliberately paying attention to the changes in the little prince, but as the servants who were familiar with 'him' kept dying and getting separated during the escape, no one could see his changes, which allowed him to survive the most dangerous moment safely.
After a subsequent round with the brigade, Zhao Bing occupied a large ship alone, giving him the time and opportunity to learn the manners and intonations of people of this era, and try to speak as little as possible and only speak less. Even though he seemed a little 'abnormal',
The serving chamberlains and maids only thought that the young prince was frightened and became taciturn and cautious. Naturally, they did not dare to make irresponsible remarks about his identity, which allowed Zhao Bing to have a transition period.
buffer.
After arriving on the quarantine ship and eliminating the risk factors, Zhao Bing felt a little relaxed. After all, he was far away from those who were familiar with palace life, and his chances of showing off were greatly reduced. But as dangers came one after another, in order to save his life, he urgently
As a result, he frequently had to do things that were inconsistent with his age, showing extraordinary miraculous abilities.
Although Zhao Bing tried his best to cover it up afterwards, he knew that if he could fool a "fool" like Ni Liang, he could only hide it from the old guys like Liu Fu, Zhao Mengjin, Zheng Huchen and Zhuang Shilin for a while. Over time, it might arouse their suspicions.
.So he could only be cautious about his words and actions in front of them, try to show the side of a child, and cover himself with a 'mysterious' coat.
"Oh, I was so happy today that I forgot about everything..." Zhao Bing looked at the three people who were still 'complimenting' him with joy. Liu Fu's eyes were full of doubts. His heart was full of bitterness and helplessness. He, a double-faced person, had taken it too seriously.
After all your hard work, I still showed my flaws after covering up, but things have become like this and I can only let them go as they please!
"These ideas all come from everyone. I just sorted them out a little. I dare not take credit, let alone deserve such praise!" Zhao Bing reflected on it and had to excuse himself again, passing the credit on to everyone, willing to be an unsung hero.
.
"Your Highness is too modest!" Seeing that the prince is so humble, everyone must be polite. After thinking about it, it is indeed what he said. It seems that the idea is really everyone's. His Highness just analyzed and summarized it; but something seems to be wrong. They
Everything I said was said under the guidance of His Highness.
"Your Highness is tired. Sir, please come back, please?" Just as everyone was thinking hard, Ni Liang suddenly spoke and issued an order to expel them.
"Oh, your Highness, please rest early, I (subordinate) take your leave!" When everyone saw it, His Highness was already yawning non-stop, and kept slapping his little mouth with his little hands. This look was really cute, and their hearts were also moved.
He let it go. After all, His Highness is also a child.
