The sound of drums was already the hour of Hai. But at this moment, the lights on the Yanziji Water Village Wharf in Jiankang were brightly lit, which echoed the blazing fire of Guabu Town on the other side. Zhao Bing stood on the shore of the wharf, watching batches of ferries sailing off the shore and returning to the port again and again with people and supplies.

"Your Majesty, this is the last group of withdrawn troops. Let's go to the tent to rest for a while!" Liu Tong, who was commanding the crossing of the river, jumped ashore from the pilot ship. Seeing that the emperor was still at the dock, he stepped forward and pointed to the fleet that was about to dock.

"No need, are there any remaining people on the other side?" Zhao Bing waved his hand and asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, when the troops were withdrawing, the various departments had already searched the entire town. Anyone who could find and who was willing to return to the south of the Yangtze River was concentrated at the ferry and sent back in batches with the wounded soldiers. Beizhi has confirmed that all the people on the ferry crossing the river on the other side of the ferry crossing!" Liu Tong replied.

"How many people are withdrawn in total?" Zhao Bing asked again.

"Report to Your Majesty, there are more than 700 households in the north of Jiangbei, with a population of 3,423, of which Ding Zhuang has more than 1,600, all of which have been registered!" Liu Tong replied.

"Okay, you did a good job!" Zhao Bing nodded and praised.

"Thank you, this battle is insufficient for the situation and the plan is not well planned. I didn't expect that this battle would be so difficult, nor did I expect that so many people would submit to me and failed to withdraw ships in time, resulting in insufficient transportation capacity and slow withdrawal. I would like to ask Your Majesty to punish me." Liu Tong bowed again.

"This battle has exceeded my expectations, and it is not your fault. And you can quickly collect hundreds of ships of all sizes in a busy and busy manner. It is already very good. You should reward without punishment!" Zhao Bing said reluctantly. This battle should have been a clean and short assault in his expectation, and it was overwhelming before the arrival of enemy reinforcements. But the fact is that it was indeed a drag and tiring, and the number of troops increased twice, mobilizing more than 9,000 troops in a division, which took almost a day and a night to complete the combat plan.

"Sir, please see Your Majesty!" As he spoke, the ships entered the port one after another, and Chen Fenglin stepped forward to worship.

"Yes!" Zhao Bing raised his hand and returned the salute, scanning the generals below the steps and said.

"I am disappointed Your Majesty." The emperor didn't even ask for hard work, let alone praise. With His Majesty's cold eyes, Chen Fenglin felt a big deal and quickly apologized.

"Let's rest in the account!" Zhao Bing did not agree, but just asked them to rest in the account.

"Your Majesty is still welcoming the officers and soldiers back, how dare they go to rest!" Chen Fenglin did not dare to leave, but stood on the side and said, "Your Majesty, the results of this battle are brilliant. Not only did it almost wipe out more than 2,000 Habichi Qianhu's troops, severely damaged a unit of Duge Wanhu's mansion, but they also copied their granaries and seized 500,000 stones of grain, about 500,000 gold and silver, more than 700 war horses, and more than 500 oxen plowing oxen. He also brought all the driving households to Jiangnan. Another fire burned Guabu Town to white land. In just a few years, I am afraid that it will not be restored."

"How are our army's casualties?" Zhao Bing turned his face and looked at him, curled his lips and asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, our army has killed more than 30 people and injured more than 200 people." Chen Fenglin thought for a moment and asked.

"Oh, then do you think this battle is a winner or a loser?" Zhao Bing asked with a sneer.

"Subordinate... I think it's unbeatable!" Chen Fenglin listened to the emperor's words and said without much confidence after thinking for a moment.

"A rescue operation with hands in hand finally turned into a grass valley. You change to occupy the mountain to become king. I think it is very suitable!" Zhao Bing said with a chuckling. He was actually ignorant of his heart. Strictly speaking, this battle was a political war, not a simple rescue operation. However, now the change of host and guest positions has completely changed, which greatly reduced the political significance of this battle.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates have failed to realize Your Majesty's strategic intentions and are willing to take all responsibilities!" Chen Fenglin said politely. He knew that Your Majesty came here thousands of miles to save the trapped people, and was under a lot of pressure. The casualties he paid now are far greater than those who were rescued, which will arouse doubts from the government and the public, thinking that paying a huge price to rescue more than a dozen people who are not alive is wrong in itself, and it is also an extremely irresponsible behavior to the sacrificed soldiers.

"I am a man who swallows his teeth and is a coward who lets others take the blame!" Zhao Bing said angrily.

"I know that Your Majesty has always been responsible, but I don't want Your Majesty to be damaged!" Chen Fenglin said solemnly.

"What is the reputation of those soldiers who fell into battle? What is important is that you must find out the root of the mistake!" Zhao Bing felt soft in his heart when he saw his appearance, but he still said with a stern face.

"See Your Majesty!" At this time, the second division's rear guard also landed one after another, and Li Hongbin led the generals forward and saluted.

"Yeah!" Zhao Bing raised his hand and returned the salute, walked forward and walked past them, but did not stop in front of the two chief officials, Li Hongbin and Du Yuhou Yan Yue. Instead, he stood firm in front of Sima Li Lei, looked him up and down, and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, you are indeed a talented general!"

"Your Majesty has praised you. Humiliation is just abiding by your duties!" Li Lei was a little excited when he received praise from His Majesty, but he still saluted and replied with a respectful respect.

"Li Sima is not rude, how can he answer the right answer with Your Majesty like this!" Yan Yue, who was beside him, reprimanded in a deep voice.

"You are right!" Li Lei turned around and nodded to him.

"Sima Li doesn't know the etiquette, so I hope Your Majesty will not blame him. He will apologize for him!" Yan Yue no longer paid attention to Li Lei, but turned to the emperor to politely say.

"In what year did Sima Li join the army?" Zhao Bing pretended not to see him, but still spoke to Li Lei.

"Report to Your Majesty, I am a rural soldier, and I officially joined the army after the Battle of Yashan!" Li Lei replied.

"Oh, you have been serving the king in Yashan, and it has been seven or eight years!" Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"That's right, after joining the army, he was appointed as the imperial guards in front of the hall, and then joined the new army for two years to study." Li Lei replied.

"Your Majesty, Li Sima is also a young hero. She is a young champion. She is only twenty-four years old this year." At this time, Chen Fenglin stepped forward and introduced, "After joining the army, Sima Li participated in the conquest of Quanzhou and previous Qiongzhou defensive operations. She has made many military achievements at a young age and is good at using strange strategies. In the battle to recover Jiankang, she led her troops to take the lead in the city and made great contributions!"

"You are not afraid to take credit for your humble position. It's because Your Majesty and the Commander of the Duke are good at commanding. You are just doing it with the flow!" Li Lei blushed and said with a little face when he heard the truth.

"Okay, you have prepared wine and meat in the tent. Let's fill your stomach first!" Zhao Bing did not say anything more, but patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Lei was not pretentious, but thanked him and walked towards the camp.

"Why don't you leave quickly!" Seeing Li Hongbin and Yan Yue standing aside awkwardly, Chen Fenglin frowned and urged in a low voice.

The last unit to land was the guard camp. Although they fought hard for a day and night, they were already very tired and covered in blood and smoke, their military appearance was still neat. After they got ashore, they still walked slowly with neat steps. They did not compete with other troops because they were the emperor's personal army, and they still looked unrestrained. However, they won the respect of the troops with their brave performance.

"Report to Your Majesty, my subordinates are ordered to fight and found all twenty-two soldiers trapped in Jiangbei. The headquarters was slightly injured and eleven people were killed. No one was killed. Now we have completed the task and handed over to the team!" Seeing the emperor greeting him in person, Tan Fei immediately stepped forward to report.

"Yes, we're all back alive!" Zhao Bing stepped forward and looked at the soldiers who were with him day and night, patted the shoulders intimately, punched the chest twice, and said with relief.

"We are your Majesty's personal army, of course we cannot lose your majesty's reputation!" Some of the soldiers said with a smile.

"It's good to come back. Go wash first, change your clothes, bandage the wound again, and go to the tent to drink and eat meat!" Zhao Bing also responded with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I'm in charge today!" Although I didn't say much, everyone saw his concern in His Majesty's eyes and asked presumptuously.

"As long as you are not afraid of being overwhelmed, you can keep it in my account as much as you want to eat and drink as much as you want!" Zhao Bing said with a smile...

…………

That night, Zhao Bing refused Chen Fenglin to move to Jiankang City and stayed in the water camp. Even though it was no longer a secret that he personally fought in the army, the news had not spread yet. If he moved to the city, it would not only disturb the people, but also be difficult to keep the secret. And he refused to enter the city, and the generals could only stay in the water camp to follow their entourage, but some people could not sleep.

The next morning, Zhao Bing summoned Liu Chenweng, the governor of Jiankang. He was shocked when he heard this. He knew that since Your Majesty refused to enter the city, he would definitely not want to make a statement. So he led a group of officials from the mansion to the water camp in the name of laboring troops, and then he went to meet the saint alone. Only Chen Fenglin, the governor, was accompanying him in the back hall. After greetings, Chen Fenglin first briefly introduced the process and results of the battle, and then got to the point.

The main thing Zhao Bing summoned Liu Chenweng was how to resettle those "reformed people". After the "Jingkang Incident", the area north of the Qinling Mountains and Huai River was occupied by the Jin Kingdom. From then until the end of the Song Dynasty, people from the north, including ethnic minorities who originally lived in the northeast, Xixia, Fanqiang, and Xidong, migrated south for various reasons. For these immigrants from the north of the Huai River, the Song court collectively called "reformed people".

On the issue of how to treat the converted people, there are constant internal disputes in the Song court, which has also caused a series of problems. Although only a few thousand people surrendered at present, Zhao Bing thought that with the development of the war, how to deal with the converted people would be an unavoidable problem. He must make plans early to avoid repeating the same mistakes. At present, he wants to hear Liu Chenweng's opinions, after all, these converted people still need to be placed in Jiankang on the spot.

In history, the components of the reformed people were quite complex, including royal family members, civil officials and generals, scholars, literati and civilians. Not only Han people, but also Jurchens, Khitans, Bohai people, Xi people, and Hui people. Even when Li Yu returned to the Song Dynasty, there were some Mongolians who were forced to submit to the south. There were many reasons for these people moving south, such as evading war and turmoil, and signing troops who escaped the Jin Dynasty; some lost their source of life because of slaughtering the ground and famine; and some were recruiting and coercion by local governments or armies in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Large-scale "reversal" often comes with war, and this situation has always existed. Before the signing of the "Shaoxing Collegiate", there was a war in the north, and a large number of Han people went south, most of them from Huaibei at this time. They believed that "the two Huai family were born" and were willing to follow the Song army to go north to recover lost territory. As the Jin and Song war broke out again, the northern people set off a climax of immigration.

The call for war against the Jin Dynasty was high in the Song Dynasty, and large-scale acceptance of the people was begun. In less than two years, the number of people who flocked to the Southern Song Dynasty reached 100,000. In order to maximize the return, the border guards not only adopted the method of persuasion, but also publicly plundered the northern population south and forced the people who refused to move south.

For the reincarnated people in the Southern Fence, the Song government took as many as possible a series of preferential and pacifying measures. If they are in their original positions, they can be reinstated or promoted appropriately; if they are willing to join the army, they can be replaced without being stabbed and replaced with a higher-quality military service; if they are students, they are allowed to go to school in the temporary residence and participate in the IPO test, and a better amount of relief is also given; if they are willing to cultivate land, they can be given idle land, cows, seeds and money; if they are reclaiming wasteland on their own, they can also be exempted from two taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

Among the military composition of the Southern Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years, those with strong combat effectiveness were basically Han people from the north. Therefore, absorbing the northern converted people became an important source for the Southern Song army to supplement combat effectiveness. However, for the Song court, "reformed people" was a double-edged sword. How to deal with the reformed people has long troubled the Song government.

When the pro-war faction gained power in the court, the Song court would try every means to collect it, induce the northerners to move south, and provide the greatest material support. When the pro-guard faction gained power, the converted people would fall into a very embarrassing situation, and sometimes face the consequences of being deported. These converted people who were forced to return north were subject to revenge and discrimination, and often fell into desperate situations, which led to serious resentment towards the Song Dynasty.

Supporters believe that the attitude towards converted people shows the "orthodox" of the Song Dynasty, which is a necessary measure to capture the hearts of the people in the Central Plains and compete for talents in the Central Plains. At the same time, it can increase the population and cultivated land area, supplement military personnel, and understand the internal situation and trends of the enemy country. Therefore, it is not only impossible to refuse, but also requires a lot of money to recruit.

Opponents believe that these rebels who moved south were poisonous schemes set up by the enemy country, and used these refugees to erode the Song State. On the one hand, there were many officials who moved south, which made the phenomenon of redundant officials very serious and brought huge burdens to the country. On the other hand, the land was limited, and the rebels who flocked in to occupy the land of the Song people, increasing the survival pressure of the people in the southeast, and forcing the original good people into "thieves"
