Soon, a group of civil officials and military generals led the 800 soldiers of Feilong Camp and Zhao Dongting to Suixi County.

Outside Suixi County, Zhao Dongting was stunned when he saw soldiers cleaning the streets and the tragic situation left on the streets.

If he hadn't seen fighting on the battlefield, his tolerance was no longer comparable to when he first came to the Southern Song Dynasty, he would have fainted by this scene.

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

On the city wall, the blood was still there, and the blood had solidified and appeared in a purple-black color.

"Mu...Rong...Chuan..."

Zhao Dongting had no expression on his face, glanced at the line of words, turned over and dismounted, and walked into the city.

The civil officials and military generals had different expressions, most of them couldn't bear it, and they followed Zhao Dongting. Some civil officials were so scared that their faces were pale.

As soon as I entered the city gate, a strong smell of blood came to my nose.

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

Zhao Dongting's stomach was also churning, but he forced himself to resist and continued to move forward with blood.

His hands were tightly tight and turned white.

Soon, the deputy general of the Feitian Army who was in charge of the overall situation in the city rushed over and fell to the ground, "The last general is to bow to the emperor!"

Zhao Dongting stood firm, looked at the mess around and asked, "What's the situation in the city?"

The deputy general gritted his teeth and replied: "The people were killed and injured countless times, and the army envoy Zhang Kui died for his own death... and most of the defenders in the city were killed."

Zhao Dongting lowered his head slightly and said dullly: "Help the city lord and the people restore their homes as soon as possible." Then he turned around and looked at Liu Hongyi and others, "From now on, the Yuan army will be stationed in Suixi County, the God Beggar Army will be stationed in Xuwen County, and the Huanglong Imperial Army will follow me to fight to wipe out the pirates."

Su Liuyi was shocked and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to lead the army in person?"

Zhao Dongting said: "I want to seek justice for the unjust souls all over the city."

Liu Hongyi knelt down 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 to Zhao Dongting and whispered: "Your Majesty, the war in Guangxi is in a tight position. We will send troops to suppress bandits at this time..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Dongting couldn't help but frown deeply, "Do you just let the pirates rage like this?"

Zhang Shijie said: "According to my opinion, it is better to let General Liu lead a 10,000 army to suppress the bandits first, just to be able to restrain them. When the war in Guangxi is clear, it will not be too late for us to send troops to suppress the bandits with all our might."

His words made Zhao Dongting hesitate a little.

In comparison, Guangxi is naturally more important. If Guangxi falls, it will be difficult for Leizhou to stick to it.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly rushed over and reported, "Emperor, someone outside the city asked for a visit and said he had a way to deal with the pirates."

"Um?"

Zhao Dongting was slightly surprised.

Zhang Shijie thoughtfully said, "Your Majesty, there are indeed many talented people gathered in Leizhou, a stable place, so it's okay for us to meet."

Zhao Dongting smiled bitterly, "Can this be considered safe?"

But he still walked out of the city gate.

Now he has no good way to deal with the pirates. When he meets that person, he can only treat it as a dead horse as a living horse.

At the gate of the city, a young man in gray linen stood with his hands behind his back. He looked about twenty-seven or eight. He looked quite cold, with a knife-cut face, thin lips, and long eyes, but occasionally there was a flash of light.

When he saw Zhao Dongting, he did not kowtow, but just bowed: "The Caomin has seen the emperor."

His proud style made many civil officials frown slightly. To show respect, even those who are famous will kneel down when they see Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting didn't think anything was there and asked, "What's your name?"

The young man in Mai said, "When the emperor uses the grass people's method to defeat the pirates, it is not too late to ask the grass people's name. If the grass people's method cannot defeat the pirates, the grass people should offer this head on the head. There is no need to say this name again and be scolded by others."

His confident look surprised Zhao Dongting. It seemed that this guy really had some skills.

The ministers around were also slightly surprised.

Then Zhao Dongting nodded and said, "Okay, then you can tell me what is the way to deal with pirates in your mind."

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

"wait?"

With Zhao Dongting, everyone present looked at him with a confused look on his face.

The young man in Mayi said confidently: "In the Mi war in Guangxi, Yuan general Ali Hague was unable to break through Prime Minister Wen's defense line. The Yuan Dynasty was eager to destroy our Song Dynasty, so he would inevitably take other measures. He would either transfer troops from other prefectures to Guangxi to support him, or send troops to seize Qiongzhou, and use Guangxi and Qiongzhou to form a double-sided attack on Leizhou."

As he said that, he pointed to the city, "But at this time Murong Chuan led pirates to plunder the city, he would have to rely on something. If it were not as expected, he would have secretly surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty. He hoarded tens of thousands of pirates overseas, and even the Yuan Dynasty would not ignore this force. If I were Ali Hague, I would not ask Emperor Yuan to send troops to support him, but instead sent out tens of thousands of troops to join forces to attack Qiongzhou, so that my Song Dynasty court could not take care of each other. The front line in Guangxi was far and drawing tens of thousands of troops would not affect the overall situation."

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

The young man in Mai stopped talking.

His character is obviously extremely arrogant.

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

The young man in Mai shook his head slightly and chuckled, "It's not to send troops, but to send troops secretly. Do not let go of any news. As I expected, within a month, the pirates will inevitably attack Qiongzhou. If the emperor is brave, he can eat all the pirates and Yuan army. Just wait for the Qiong and Lei states to be stable. Then the troops will be sent to Guangxi, fight against Ali Hague and defeat them in the battle. Our Song Dynasty court will have a foothold."

Zhao Dongting looked at the young man in mai in front of him deeply, and was a little surprised. Not to mention whether he inferred correctly or not, this vision is definitely not something that ordinary people can have.

But naturally he would not believe the words of this young man in Mai so easily. After all, this was just his inference.

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

But he had the intention of teaching this young man in Mai.

The young man in Mai still smiled, as if he could see Zhao Dongting's intention, and said: "There are still many uncivilized ethnic groups in Qiongzhou. In the past, the Qiongzhou army was still in a hurry to deal with these ethnic groups. The Yuan army and pirates attacked. If the rioters were in chaos at the same time, I think the Qiongzhou army would be unable to stop it."

Zhao Dongting couldn't help but look shocked now. Because the young man in mai was extremely accurate in his inference.

In history, when Ali Hague led his army to attack Qiongzhou, Qiongzhou pacifier Zhao Yuluo refused to surrender. In the end, when he led his army to fight, he was tied up by the rioters and gave it to Ali Hague. He was finally broken into pieces by the chariot and died. It can be said that he died in the hands of the rioters.

At the moment, there was no other idea. After thinking about it, Zhao Dongting nodded and said, "Okay, then I will follow your method. If I can destroy the pirates, I will definitely reward you with a lot."

Qing Young nodded gently, not seeming to care.

Then, Zhao Dongting led his ministers and generals back to Haikang County, and the young man in mai followed behind him.

Wanyan Zhang and Dongheli returned to the Yuan army, the Divine Beggar Army camp, and began to prepare for the matter of leading the army to guard Suixi and Xuwen County.

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

This has passed several days.

The weapons workshop finally forged all the parts of Zhao Dongting's paintings, and it took so long to make a mold.

After hearing the news, Zhao Dongting ran to the weapons workshop with excitement and assembled the grenade tube with his own hands.

The shells have also been made.

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

If the grenade launcher can be used, it will definitely become a killer weapon against the Yuan army.

Many craftsmen surrounded and watched, and they admired the emperor's creativity of his amazing skills.

Zhao Dongting set up a grenade launcher, licked his tongue, and his face was nervous.

He was also afraid that the shells would explode, so he would be the most unfair emperor in history.

But this grenade launcher was built based on his design, which can be said to be full of his efforts, and he also wanted to try it himself.

After condensing his mind, Zhao Dongting pulled out the lead wire from the shell, put the shell into the firing cylinder, and suddenly pulled the firing rope.

However, in just a short moment, the grenade launcher made a muffled sound, pressing the grass below about an inch deep.

A cannonball broke out and flew into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, soil splattered hundreds of meters ahead, and large open spaces were blown out of the weeds.

The craftsmen were all shocked.

Zhao Dongting looked around and saw that the destroyed weed land was several meters in radius. He couldn't help laughing loudly, and then said to the director of the weapon workshop next to him: "From now on, we will do our best to build this dragon cannon and shells!"
Chapter completed!
