One Piece of Song Dynasty

Liu Fa asked, "Two benefactors, a certain family wants to know how many of the soldiers brought by a certain family escaped during this battle."

Liu Zhi said with some seriousness, "According to the information we found out, General Liu's front army Yang Weizhong, rear army Jiao Anjie, left army Zhu Dingguo and other generals were all killed in battle. Only the right army general Zhai Jin led some soldiers to break through and come back. After Cha Ge defeated General Liu, he successively defeated the follow-up troops of the Western Army who were planning to join General Liu. Because General Liu was defeated too quickly, the follow-up troops of the Western Army were not prepared to respond to the situation at all, so they were killed by Cha Ge. They were defeated and suffered heavy casualties. Cha Ge did not stop until Zhenwucheng. In this battle, the Western Army soldiers and civilians suffered more than casualties. .shung"

Liu Fa looked lonely and said, "Thank you both for telling the truth."

Zhao Yun said, "General Liu must not be sad. General Liu cannot be entirely blamed for this. After this battle, there will be a period of peace in Song and Xia. Tong Guan's ideas are half shattered."

Liu Fa remained silent.

Seeing that Liu Fa was silent, Zhao Yun continued, "We can't tell anyone the news that General Liu is alive at the moment, not even General Liu's family. According to the information we have inquired about, Brother Cha has released the news that General Liu died on the battlefield. Tong Guan He also put the responsibility for the defeat on General Liu, saying that General Liu did not listen to orders and was the reason for this defeat, so General Liu cannot appear in front of anyone now."

Liu Fa said feebly, "Okay, a certain family knows."

Zhao Yun comforted him by saying, "General Liu, don't continue to be depressed. Cheer up. General Liu will have many big things to do in the future."

Liu Fa smiled bitterly and said, "Zhao Langjun, please don't comfort X family. X family has lost his legs. X family is now a cripple. What big things can he do?"

Zhao Yun waved his hand, "General Liu, don't underestimate yourself. It's easy to get a thousand armies, but it's hard to find a general. General Liu's experience and lessons as a general are the most precious things. Although General Liu has lost his legs, he is definitely not a useless person. He will fight for his life in the future." General Liu will be useful."

Liu Fa looked lonely and said, "Okay, a certain family knows."

Liu Zhi stood up and said, "General Liu, rest in peace. If you need anything, please tell us. The two of us will leave first."

Zhao Yun and Liu Zhi left. A few days later, Zhao Yun received a secret letter from Li Xin. Li Xin asked Zhao Yun to wait for Liu Fa to recover and pick a few people to personally escort him to Hui'an. He also asked Zhao Yun to drop by when he brought Liu Fa back. After visiting Hangzhou in the southeast before returning to Hui'an, Li Xin planned to personally welcome Liu Fa's arrival in Hui'an. Li Xin also told Zhao Yun that anything could happen on the battlefield, so that Zhao Yun should not feel guilty about Liu Fa's broken leg. He was very lucky to have saved Liu Fa's name on the extremely dangerous battlefield.

After Zhao Yun received Li Xin's secret letter, he found Liu Fa: "General Liu, the person who saved you has received a letter. In a few days, a certain general will personally escort General Liu to see your savior."

Liu Fa nodded and said, "Well, someone knows." Liu Fa still seemed to be in a bad mood.

In the next few days, Zhao Yun prepared the carriage, made it very comfortable, selected the manpower, and prepared to take Liu Fa on the road.

Early that morning, Zhao Yun was about to take Liu Fa on the road. Zhao Yun said goodbye to Liu Zhi and said, "I have troubled Shopkeeper Liu for the past six months. Thank you very much, Zhao."

Liu Zhi waved his hand, "You and I are both working for the master's family, so there is no need to be so polite. You must be careful on the road. General Liu has just recovered from his injury."

Zhao Yun cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Liu. I will pay attention. Then Zhao will leave first. Shopkeeper Liu, we will see you later."

Liu Zhi cupped his fists and replied, "Brother Zhao, please go on your way. We will see you later."

Zhao Yun took Liu Fa on the road, and Li Xin was also sitting and preparing for Liu Fa's arrival. In the past few days, Li Xin and the carpenters were making something specially for Liu Fa. If future generations could tell what it was at a glance, it would be a wheelchair, a wooden wheelchair. In order to facilitate the movement of Liu Fa, a disabled person, Li Xin found a carpenter to make it specially.

After two months of construction, the city on the island has already taken shape. The main road has been paved with earth and cement. About % of the city walls on the southeast side have been completed. The barracks have also been built. There are already about half of the refugees. After two months of replenishment, the island's population has reached people. Considering that it will take some time to start land reclamation, there will be basically no output in the first two years of land reclamation. Li Xin gave each farmer another taels of silver as settlement allowance. For those who chose shops, some shops had already opened, and all goods were handled by Li Xin. The goods in the first year were free, and collection would begin in the second year. Money.

Li Xin also built chicken farms, pig farms, and cattle farms on the island, and moved the cattle, pigs, and chickens from Li Mansion in Hui'an to the island; farmers will definitely need a lot of cattle when reclaiming land in the future. Li Xin will let farmers use cattle to plow the land for free in the first two years. In the third year, farmers will need to pay a certain amount of rent if they want to use cattle. After large-scale breeding of pigs and chickens, the island will have more meat.

Li Xin and the carpenters finished making the wheelchair and were ready to return to Hui'an with Ruan Xiaowu's fleet.

Before leaving, Li Xin found Niu Gao, Ruan Xiaoqi, Wang Wenlong and others.

Li Xin said to Niu Gao, "Brother Niu, the security of this island will be left to you and the Xiang Barracks. I will come back as soon as I go."

Niu Gao cupped his fists and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will protect this place and won't let any savages get close to it."

Li Xin then said to Ruan Xiaoqi, "Brother Qi, in addition to the training of the Water Ghost Team, I also want you to take a look at the construction of the city."

Ruan Xiaoqi nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother. Someone will be optimistic about this place. The city will definitely look different when brother comes back."

Li Xin finally told Wang Wenlong, "The management of the people will be left to you Confucian scholars. Don't have conflicts with the people. Try to handle everything fairly. I will be back soon."

Wang Wenlong clasped his fists and said, "My master treats us so favorably, we will handle this matter well. Please feel free to leave, my master."

After giving instructions to everyone, Li Xin took Lao Wang and left with Ruan Xiaowu's fleet. Lao Wang left reluctantly. Lao Wang has been having fun since he arrived on the island. There are many virgin forests on the island. Lao Wang often goes out to hunt by himself. Soon Lao Wang has visited the jungles around the city. This time Li Xin did not want to take Lao Wang with him when he returned to Hui'an. Yes, but when he thought that no one would be able to control Lao Wang after he left, Lao Wang started to have fun even more. In order to prevent Lao Wang from getting into trouble, Li Xin decided to take Lao Wang away.

The fleet walked all day and returned to Hui'an Lijia Pier. The current Lijia Pier has been expanded because there are more ships. Li Xin saw several new ships on the pier. These are all new ships that Li Xin just ordered. , Li Xin plans to order another batch of ships when he comes back this time to make the fleet larger.
