Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

The princesses, who had just arrived at the palace and were still reminiscing, were surrounded by a large crowd of common people and ministers who had not left.

The family suddenly met again, surrounded by sorrow and joy, and the scene became both desolate and warm.

After they were recognized by their relatives, the remaining dozen or so unmarried princesses looked at each other with smiles on their faces, talked about interesting things from their childhood, and dug something out of the ruins. They worked together to restore the damaged palace to its original state with their own hands.

But when I turned around, I found that the common people were rushing towards the ruins with tools in their hands. For a moment, I couldn't tell whether the water on my faces was sweat or tears.

In this once prosperous but war-torn land, people are enthusiastically working to rebuild the damaged palace.

The sunlight shines on the ruins, illuminating the busy figures of people. The common people work together to carry heavy stones, with firm determination on their faces.

The men were sweating and wielding tools with their strong arms, working hard to repair the foundation of the palace; the women were not to be outdone, carefully selecting available materials and contributing their own efforts to the reconstruction.

Children of several years old were playing nearby, their laughter echoing in the air, adding a bit of vitality to this land full of hope.

The old people who were tired from work sat aside, enjoying the wind, wiping the sweat from their heads with a smile, watching it all with emotion, their eyes full of satisfaction and longing for the future.

The princesses also joined in the reconstruction of the palace. They would occasionally find something familiar and chat and laugh with the sisters next to them, while also reminiscing about their carefree days back then.

Ting He used the big pots and water brought by the common people, bought a lot of powerful pills from the system mall, and quickly soaked them in water, letting everyone drink some water to conserve some energy.

Seeing that there was still hope for the Song Dynasty, everyone's hearts were filled with yearning for a better life. With their hard-working hands, they brought this dilapidated palace back to life bit by bit, as if expressing their firm belief in the future.

……

No one asked about the whereabouts of Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong. They were all immersed in the return of the princesses to the Song Dynasty. As long as there were royal relatives alive in the Song Dynasty, it was hope for the common people. Even if no man returned, it did not affect their joy and cheers.

After drinking the water made from the powerful pills, everyone felt more energetic. However, no one paid much attention to it. They all thought it was caused by being happy, so they were not tired at all.

The common people contributed their labor, the ministers contributed money, and the princesses worked and had fun with the people. The scene was prosperous.

Ten thousand people add fuel to the fire. Within three days, the professional construction team hired by the ministers had completed the construction. Ting He, as the representative of the princess, spoke with Zhao Yingluo to warn the people of the Song Dynasty. She said:

"As princesses of the Song court, we have more responsibilities. This time we went north as guests, we were fortunate to see the customs of the people of the Jin Kingdom. However, we came back in a hurry, and our father and brother were kept as guests by the king of the Jin Kingdom. Only people were sent to escort us, the princesses and concubines, back home. At this moment, our Song Dynasty is in a state of disrepair. I hope that the people can join hands with us to build our homeland and restore Bianjing to its former glory."

At this point, Ting Hezhe paused strategically, and sobbed again:

"This time the Song Dynasty collapsed, and my father and brothers surrendered. But although we are daughters, we will never surrender, and neither will I. The twenty or so remaining princesses swear together to the heavens that as long as the Song Dynasty still has us, as long as the princess of the Song Dynasty survives, we will defend Bianjing to the death and will never give any chance to the treacherous ministers and villains to steal the Song Dynasty and destroy the country. Even if there are no men in the Song Dynasty for the time being, the princess of the Song Dynasty will announce it to the world so that the Jin villains will not dare to underestimate us, the people of the Song Dynasty."

"From today on, Bianjing will defend the city gates. All strong men must join the army to protect our homeland. All strong women must devote themselves to the construction of the Song Dynasty just like our princess. Even women must take the right path. The women's defense army composed of our princesses of the Song Dynasty is looking forward to the participation of all women in the Song Dynasty."

Before he could finish his words, the people began to riot. Although they welcomed the princesses to return to the court, the Song Dynasty was now in a precarious period. What political achievements could a few female soldiers make?

The ministers nodded slightly, saying that what the common people said was right. Can a few girls help the Song Dynasty rise again? Without the government to support the country, how can the Song Dynasty rise and resist foreign enemies? It is really nonsense.

Tinghe understood what these people with deep-rooted ideas were thinking. In the cultural heritage of thousands of years, women have always been weak. It was really absurd to expect women to take on the responsibility of restoring the country. However, Tinghe did not bow her head, and the princesses did not show any signs of retreat. Instead, they set an example by joining the Women's Guard Army, including their family members and concubines who went north together. They also stood up resolutely and joined the Guard Army.

With the participation of these princesses and royal relatives, mothers, daughters and even daughters-in-law among ordinary people also joined in, giving this first battle fought by women a perfect starting point and end.

With a clear plan, Tinghe led the princesses to practice martial arts during the day to strengthen their bodies, and took care of their own food, clothing, housing and transportation at night. Although there was no official family in the entire Song Dynasty, people lived happily.

The patrol team composed of ministers and men also stayed on the city wall of Bianjing every day, watching all the disturbances in the outside world. They drank the water made from the powerful pills cooked by the princesses themselves, and trained hard according to the martial arts secrets given by the princesses. In just a few months, all the people in Bianjing City had become soldiers.

At this time, Zhao Gou, who had already established a regime in the south, should have established a branch of the Song Dynasty under heavy pressure, known in history as the Southern Song Dynasty.

Just when the situation was stabilized, he received news that the Jin people had actually released the women of the Song Dynasty and even sent them back to Bianliang intact. At that moment, he missed his mother. After dealing with the affairs of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou, as the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, led his men to Bianliang in person, wanting to see with his own eyes the fake regime set up by those women.

Tinghe now had complete say among the princesses. After she spoke, the inspection team opened the city gates and welcomed Zhao Gou back to Song.

When Zhao Gou learned that only a group of old, weak, women and children were left in power in the remnants of the Song Dynasty, he even thought of giving up Lin'an and returning to Bianliang. However, when he thought of the Jin people who were eyeing Bianliang covetously, he couldn't help but hesitate. He decided to first see what Bianliang would look like without the government's governance, and by the way, bring his mother back to Lin'an to be enthroned.
