Soon, a group of civil and military generals led the eight hundred armor soldiers of the Feilong Battalion and Zhao Dongting to Suixi County.

Outside Suixi County, Zhao Dongting was also stunned when he saw the soldiers who were cleaning up the streets, as well as the tragic situation remaining on the streets.

If it weren't for the fact that he had seen battlefield battles, his endurance would not be comparable to when he first came to the Southern Song Dynasty, and he was afraid that he would faint from this scene.

On the ground, there were blood marks left by the corpse after it was dragged away.

On the city wall, the row of blood characters was left there, and the blood had coagulated, showing a purple-black color.

"Mu ...... Appearance...... Sichuan ......"

Zhao Dongting's face was expressionless, his eyes swept over the lines, turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the city.

The military generals of Wenchen had different expressions, most of them couldn't bear it, and they all followed behind Zhao Dongting. Some of the ministers were already pale with fright.

As soon as he entered the city gate, a strong smell of blood came to his nostrils.

Lu Xiufu, Liu Huang, Xiang Dongyang and others couldn't help it, covered their mouths and hurriedly ran out of the city again.

Zhao Dongting's stomach was also churning, but he forcibly endured it and continued to move forward with blood.

His hands were clenched and taut, and they were already white.

Soon, the deputy general of the Flying Army, who was in charge of the overall situation in the city, hurriedly came and knelt on the ground, "The last general will knock on the emperor!" ”

Zhao Dongting stood still, looked at the mess around him, and asked, "What is the situation in the city?" ”

The adjutant general gritted his teeth and replied: "The people have suffered countless casualties, and the military envoy Zhang Kui has died...... Most of the martyrs, the defenders in the city, also died. ”

Zhao Dongting lowered his head slightly, and said in a dull voice: "Help the city lord and the people restore their homes as soon as possible." Then he turned back to look at Liu Hongyi and the others, "From now on, the Yuan army will be stationed in Suixi County, the beggar army will be stationed in Xuwen County, and the Huanglong Forbidden Army will go out with me to exterminate the pirates." ”

Su Liuyi suddenly exclaimed: "Your Majesty, do you want to drive the expedition in person?" ”

Zhao Dongting said: "I want to seek justice for the wronged souls in this city." ”

Liu Hongyi knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the pirates are vicious and cunning, and the last general can lead the army." ”

Immediately afterwards, many ministers knelt down, "Please sit in the palace!" ”

Zhang Shijie walked up to Zhao Dongting and said softly: "Your Majesty, the war in Guangxi is tight, and we will send troops to suppress the bandits at this time......

When Zhao Dongting heard this, his brows couldn't help but furrow deeply, "Do you just let pirates run rampant like this?" ”

Zhang Shijie said: "According to the minister, it is better to let General Liu lead an army of 10,000 to suppress the bandits first, just to be able to contain them, and when the war in Guangxi is clear, it is not too late for us to send troops to suppress the bandits." ”

His words made Zhao Dongting hesitate a little.

In comparison, it is naturally more important to Guangxi, if Guangxi falls, it will be really difficult for Leizhou to hold on.

At this moment, suddenly a soldier hurriedly came and said, "Your Majesty, someone outside the city has asked to see him, saying that he has a way to deal with pirates." ”

"Huh?"

Zhao Dongting was slightly surprised.

Zhang Shijie thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, there are wars in various places, and there are indeed many talented people who have gathered in the stable place of Leizhou, so it doesn't hurt for us to meet them." ”

Zhao Dongting smiled bitterly, "Can this also be considered stable?" ”

Still, he walked out of the city gates.

Now he didn't have any good way to deal with the pirates, and when he went to meet the man, he should be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

At the gate of the city, a young man dressed in gray linen stood with his hands in his hands, looking at about twenty-seven or eighteen, looking rather cold, with a face like a knife, thin lips, and narrow eyes, but there were occasional glitters of essence in them.

When he saw Zhao Dongting, he didn't kowtow, but just said, "The grass people have seen the emperor." ”

His arrogant style made many Wenchen frown slightly. In order to show respect, even if it is a person with meritorious fame, most of them will kneel when they see Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting didn't feel anything, and asked out loud, "What's your name?" ”

The Mai young man said: "When the emperor defeats the pirates with the method of the grass people, it is not too late to ask the names of the grass people." If the pirates cannot be defeated by the methods of the grass people, the grass people should sacrifice this necklace head, and there is no need to say this name again, and it will be spurned by others. ”

His face was full of confidence, which made Zhao Dongting quite surprised. Looks like this guy really has some skills.

The surrounding ministers were also slightly surprised.

Immediately, Zhao Dongting nodded and said, "It's okay, then you can tell me what is the method in your heart to deal with pirates." ”

The young man in Mai smiled lightly and slowly spit out a word, "Wait." ”

"Wait?"

Including Zhao Dongting, everyone present looked at him with a confused face.

The Mai young man said confidently: "In the battle of Guangxi, the Yuan general Ali Hague has been unable to break through the defense line of Prime Minister Wen for a long time, and the Yuan Dynasty is eager to destroy our Great Song Dynasty, so it is bound to take other measures, either transfer troops from other state capitals to Guangxi to support, or send troops to seize Qiongzhou, and form a double-sided attack on Leizhou with Guangxi and Qiongzhou." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the city, "But at this time, Murong Chuan led the pirates to plunder the city, and he must have something to rely on, if it weren't for my expectations, he would definitely have secretly taken refuge in the Yuan Dynasty." Overseas hoarding tens of thousands of pirates, even the Yuan Dynasty will not ignore this force, if I were Ali Hague, I would definitely not ask Emperor Yuan to send troops to support, but sent tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to the open sea to unite pirates, attack Qiongzhou, so that my Great Song Dynasty can not care about each other. Guangxi's front is far away, and the dispatch of tens of thousands of troops and horses does not affect the overall situation. ”

When Zhao Dongting heard this, his eyes condensed slightly, "......What do you mean?"

But the young man in sackcloth stopped talking.

His temperament was obviously extremely arrogant.

Zhao Dongting said again: "Do you want me to send troops to Qiongzhou to wait for work?" ”

Only then did the young man in Mai shake his head slightly, and said with a chuckle: "It's not to send troops, but to send troops secretly, and don't leak any rumors." According to my expectations, within a month, the pirates will attack Qiongzhou, and if the emperor has the courage, he can eat all the pirates and the Yuan army. Just wait for the two states of Qiong and Lei to be stable, and then send troops to Guangxi, fight Ali Hague, and win the battle, and my Great Song Dynasty will have a foothold. ”

Zhao Dongting looked deeply at the young man in Mai in front of him, and was slightly surprised in his heart. Not to mention whether his inference is right or wrong, but this vision is by no means available to ordinary people.

But naturally he wouldn't believe the words of this young man in sackcloth so easily, after all, this was just his inference.

After pondering for a long time, Zhao Dongting said: "I also have tens of thousands of troops in Qiongzhou, why do we need to send troops to support?" ”

He had the intention of teaching this young man in Mai.

The young man in Mai was still smiling, as if he could see Zhao Dongting's intentions, and said: "There are still many uncivilized ethnic groups in Qiongzhou, and in the past, the Qiongzhou army was still anxious to deal with these ethnic groups, and the Yuan army and pirates attacked. ”

Zhao Dongting couldn't help but show surprise at this time. Because, this young man in sackcloth's inference is extremely accurate.

In history, when Ali Hague led the army to attack Qiongzhou, Qiongzhou appeased Zhao and Luo refused to surrender, and finally when he led the army to fight, he was tied up by the chaotic people and sent to Ali Hague, and finally was torn apart by the car and died, which can be said to be really dead in the hands of the chaotic people.

At the moment, there was no other idea, Zhao Dongting pondered, nodded and said: "Okay, then I will follow your method, if I can destroy the pirates, I will definitely reward you." ”

The young man nodded slightly, as if he didn't care.

Then, Zhao Dongting led the generals back to Haikang County, and the young man in Mai also followed behind.

Wanyanzhang and Dongheli each returned to the barracks of the Yuan army and the beggar army, and began to prepare for the matter of leading the army to guard Suixi and Xuwen County.

Zhao Dongting ordered Liu Hongyi to train the Huanglong Forbidden Army diligently and prepare to send troops to Qiongzhou. At the same time, he also left the young man in Mai in the palace.

And so it went on for a few days.

The weapon workshop finally forged all the parts painted by Zhao Dongting, and it took so long to make a mold.

After Zhao Dongting heard the news, he ran to the weapons workshop with excitement and assembled the grenadier with his own hands.

Shells have also been made.

Zhao Dongting asked a soldier to carry the grenadier to the open place outside the weapons workshop, and he couldn't wait to test the cannon.

If the grenadier can really be used, it will definitely become a big killer against the Yuan army.

Many craftsmen gathered around to watch, and they were extremely impressed by the emperor's ingenuity.

Zhao Dongting set up the grenadier and licked his tongue, his face full of nervousness.

He was also afraid of the cannonball, so that he would be the most unjustly killed emperor in history.

But the grenadier was built according to his design, and it can be said that it was full of his painstaking efforts, and he was eager to try it himself.

After concentrating, Zhao Dongting pulled out the lead on the cannonball, put the cannonball into the launch canister, and slammed the firing rope.

But in a short moment, the grenadier made a muffled sound, pressing the grass below an inch deep.

A cannonball burst out of its chamber and flew into the sky.

Immediately after, hundreds of meters ahead, debris suddenly splashed, and a large open space was blown out of the barren grassland.

The craftsmen were all dumbfounded.

Zhao Dongting looked at it, seeing that the destroyed barren grassland was several meters in a radius of several meters, he couldn't help laughing, and then said to the director of the weapons workshop next to him: "From now on, go all out to make this divine dragon cannon and cannonballs!" ”

The director came back to his senses and knelt down excitedly, "Weichen has the order!" ”
