It is the season of frequent storms. With his familiarity with the sea conditions, Zhao Bing's fleet used the wind direction to travel day and night to arrive ten miles outside the Qiantang River mouth after eight days.

"Your Majesty, the river tide will arrive for more than an hour. Let's take a break!" Zheng Yong saw His Majesty standing on the top deck, looking at Canyue with frown, paced anxiously, and stepped forward to comfort him.

"It's the beginning of the ugly moment now, and it will be dawn less than an hour. The forward team must set off and can't wait any longer!" Zhao Bing waved his hand and said.

"Your Majesty, although the Qiantang Dynasty was not the biggest time, it was also huge waves. If there was a slight mistake, the boat would be destroyed and the people would be killed. Besides, the water of the Yu River was shallow, and the large boat with no tide could not reach the dock of the Mausoleum District." Zheng Yong said anxiously.

"No, the whereabouts are exposed after dawn. The demon monk ran away or the dog rushed to the wall and fired the tomb area. Wouldn't we die for a hundred deaths!" Zhao Bing still shook his head and said. He naturally knew the power of the Qiantang tide. Later generations were called one of the three major tides in the country. Almost every year, there would be accidents when watching the tide. It was extremely dangerous to follow the tide to the river estuary, but the plan could never keep up with the changes. If he could get two days earlier, he would not have encountered this embarrassing problem.

According to Zhao Bing's plan, after the high tide, the fleet entered the river estuary and entered the eastern Zhejiang Canal through the Cao'e River's estuary. The eastern Zhejiang Canal, also known as the Hangzhou-Ningbo Canal, is a canal in Zhejiang Province. It starts from Hangzhou in the west, passes through Shaoxing City, crosses the Cao'e River, and reaches the Ningbo Yongjiang River's estuary in the east, with a total length of nearly 500 miles. The initial part of the canal was the Shanyin Old Waterway located in Shaoxing, which was built in the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Western Jin Dynasty, the Kuaiji Nei Shi He Xun presided over the excavation of the Xixing Canal, and then formed a complete canal starting from the Qiantang River in the west and ending at the East China Sea with the canal east of the Cao'e River.

Lin'an was built in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Zhejiang East Canal became an important canal channel at that time. From Dongjiayan, Shaoxing, the river connected to the river of Zangong, was the main waterway to the Liuling Song Dynasty, also known as the Yuhe River. From Shaoxing Prefecture to the Yuhe River to the Liuling Song Dynasty, there is a 30-mile waterway, and it is time to get to the Liuling Palace at the Liuling Palace. After another six miles, it is necessary to reach the Mausoleum District. When entering the Mausoleum District from Haikou, it is necessary to pass through two water systems. The Yuhe River is shallow and it is difficult to take a big boat on weekdays. Only by using the tide can you enter the Mausoleum District directly. Only in this way can people and materials be sent directly to the Mausoleum District and quickly complete the preparations.

"I'll inform you and let the brigade and regiment quickly change to the dragon boat and prepare to enter the river estuary. I'll go with you and Ni Liang command the fleet to join us immediately after the tide rises. Notify Dong Yicheng to lead the fleet to turn and implement the established combat plan!" Without waiting for anyone, Zhao Bing stopped talking to him and ordered directly.

"Your Majesty, this..." Zheng Yong was a little confused and wanted to persuade him again.

"What are you waiting for, send an order!" Zhao Bing shouted sternly when he saw Chen Dun laughing aside.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Seeing that His Majesty came to him again, Chen Dun agreed to run out to pass the order...

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Bing got off the imperial ship in the helpless and uneasy eyes of several subordinates and boarded the Sheji. In order to carry a group of people and carry combat equipment, each dragon boat was stuffed into 180 people. Then he formed two columns and drove quickly along the river estuary. Under the full force of the oars, the warship rowed the water surface and drove rapidly, but the sound of the oars hitting the water seemed extremely abrupt, making everyone who smuggled through nervousness.

Zhao Bing seemed extremely calm. It was the time when the tide was coming. Except for those who wanted to die, they would hide in the port honestly and would never come out to find this bad luck. The soldiers carried on the ship were all veterans with practical experience, and they would never be afraid because the war was about to begin. The nervousness was more about helping him and sitting on the ship, and the sound of paddling magnified the tension infinitely.

Zhao Bing looked back at the fleet moored outside the Haikou. The mast light on the Sheji was retreating rapidly. In recent years, he has summarized a lot of experience from the actual combat of the dragon boat and improved the dragon boat. He modified the square head bow to a more streamlined pointed head, and raised it slightly upward; copper skins were attached to the bottom and side sides of the ship to further reduce water resistance and corrosion; and then changed the tail rudder to mechanical operation, moving the rudder to the command room, so that the operation is simpler, accurate, direct and fast, and the speed of the warship is further improved, and the steering is flexible and fast.

"Press the route and speed up!" The fleet sailed into the trumpet, and the Qiantang River estuary narrowed rapidly, and the tide would surge very quickly, which is also one of the reasons for the formation of Qiantang tide. Now they have to quickly pass through this dangerous area in a short period of time, otherwise they may be shot to death under the huge waves. Zhao Bing looked at the sea Tuyan and said.

"Your Majesty, there are shoals here, and the sight is poor. If you are too fast, you may not avoid it!" Wang Meng, the captain of the Warrior, said with some concern.

"If you don't want to be photographed dead on the dam, you can only trust our spies at this time. This is also the data they obtained at the risk of their lives!" Zhao Bing said.

"Your Majesty, what if..." Wang Meng was still hesitant.

"I'm going back more and more. Raise the watchtower and follow my command!" Zhao Bing was furious when he saw this, got up and crawled into the watchtower and cursed.

"Accelerate and surpass each ship!" While Zhao Bing issued the order, he turned the signal light to turn the two columns into one column, headed by the Warriors, and each ship maintains a distance of thirty steps and then follows.

"Left rudder three, pay attention to port!"

"There is a reef in front of the right. Pay attention to avoiding it. The rear ship holds the track!"

"Right rudder 5, right side shallow, don't deviate from the route!" At this time, even though the commander and navigator were also watchers, they were also watching the hands, constantly giving orders and sending signals to the backship.

"Commander Chen, can Your Majesty do it?" Tian Zhong, the commander of the First Brigade of the Guards, personally led a regiment to the ashore, but as he watched His Majesty secretly command and dispatch the fleet in the night, and the black outside the ship was so dark that he could not see anything, he couldn't help but ask Chen Dun worriedly.

"It's OK. Your Majesty is more convenient to be a captain than an emperor. He has been satisfied with being an emperor for a long time, so don't worry!" Chen Dun raised his eyelids and glanced at the little emperor in the watchtower and curled his lips.

"Can you really do it?" Tian Zhong was still unsure and couldn't see clearly outside. He relied on a chart to navigate. As far as he knew, His Majesty was there, which was the first time he had come, which was no different from a blind man riding a blind horse. But His Majesty still let the warship drive at full speed. If there is a slight mistake, something will happen. He died a little, and he couldn't afford to take it even if the emperor was a little bit weak. He still questioned.

"Don't worry, it's absolutely okay. If Your Majesty doesn't work, you can't choose anyone in the entire navy!" Chen Dun said impatiently, "Since he fled from Lin'an ten years ago, he has been on the ship more in the first few years than on land, and he is the one who fears death the most. Do you think Your Majesty will make something happen to him?"

"Well, what you said seems to be a little reasonable..." Tian Zhong nodded, but seeing Chen Dun closed his eyes to rest again, it was hard to say anything else. But he was still nervous. He was the Qiongzhou Army joined by Jiazi Town. He knew that Chen Dun was right, but His Majesty had many fewer opportunities to go out to sea after all, and he had fewer opportunities to take the boat in person...

"Enter the canal, all ships are alert and ready to fight!" The fleet finally entered the canal from the mouth of the Cao'e River before the tide came, and the tide also came. Although it was several miles away, the sound of thunder could be heard. At this time, there were canals parked on both sides of the canal. When they saw such a strange fleet of ships taking risks, they were all surprised. They poked their heads and sent them a few greetings like "crazy" and "silly fork". But Zhao Bing did not dare to relax. Who knew whether there were official ships such as Yuan army patrol ships, he ordered to enter the alert.

"Open the gun door and enter the gun position!" Wang Meng did not dare to be negligent and immediately ordered. Then the gun doors on both sides and the bow of the ship opened one after another, and all the crossbows were pushed out to position, skeletons, and filled with projectiles.

"Wang Meng, you come to replace me. This is really more exciting than fighting!" At this time, Zhao Bing ordered the watchtower to be lowered and came out from inside and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you are so happy, but you are going to be scared to death!" Wang Meng was busy arranging Guan Tong's hands to replace the emperor, wiped his head with sweat and smiled bitterly.

"Don't talk too much. I immediately sank the enemy ship when I found it. After entering the Yuhe River, I ordered the rear ship to blow up all the bridges along the way except the last one, and drive away all ships in the Yuhe River. Any rebels will destroy them. Clear out the channel, and a group of engineers will cooperate!" Zhao Bing then explained that there were five arched cemetery bridges on the Yuhe River. Small and medium-sized warships could pass in front of sails, but large warships were blocked. The Yuhe River waterway was much narrower than the canal, and subsequent fleet entry would definitely be affected.

"Your Majesty, isn't it right to blow up the Tomb Bridge? The passage during the sacrifice at that time." Tian Zhong said hesitantly.

"Extraordinary things can be done at extraordinary times. You can rebuild them after they are blown up!" Zhao Bing waved his hand and refused.

"Yes!" Wang Meng and Tian Zhong both bowed and immediately conveyed the order.

As the tide surged, it poured back into the river and pushed up the water level of the Yu River. The fleet accelerated again and finally arrived at the gate of the Zangong Port when the sky was bright. Then, with the support of the spies of the Bureau of Affairs, a group of officers and soldiers quickly landed on the bank. Zhao Bing then climbed onto the bank with the guards. This place was still several miles away from the mausoleum area, and there were many trees around it, and the enemy soldiers expected that the Song army would rush thousands of miles into the mausoleum area, but no one noticed it for a while. The soldiers landed safely without bloodshed.

"Subordinate Liu Qiang meets Your Majesty!"

"No gifts, thank you for so many years!" Zhao Bing hurriedly helped Liu Qian up and looked up and down. Speaking of the commander-in-chief's army, he was sent to the Affairs Bureau to monitor Chen Yizhong and followed him to Chameng. In the following years, Chen Yizhong went from being energetic to being depressed, and had no face to go back to the court, and turned into a dead tiger. There was no need to monitor him, so Liu Qian was transferred back to Lin'an as an intelligence stationmaster. It seems that he had not seen him for ten years.

"Your Majesty has grown up too..." Liu Qian looked at the little emperor and wiped his tears. When he left, the little emperor was just a naughty boy around his knees, but now he is a handsome young man, and he can't help but sigh.

"Now is not the time to speak. What's the situation in the Mausoleum District right now?" Zhao Bing pulled him to the side and sat down and asked.

"Your Majesty, after the demon monk forcibly broke into the cemetery, he commanded a group of people to dig the tomb of Emperor Lizong. He opened the coffin and broke the coffin three days ago and robbed the property in the underground palace. Since there were Mongolian troops guarding the surrounding area, it was difficult for his subordinates to get close to him, so he could only work with the action team to persuade the people of the surrounding cemetery village to cause trouble. The demon monk may also have some concerns and no longer publicly excavated during the day. He excavated the tomb of Emperor Duzong at night. Now the tomb passage has been dug and has not entered yet!" Liu Qian briefly reported the current situation.

"Well, how many Yuan troops are stationed in the Mausoleum District? Who is the thief still in the Mausoleum District?" Zhao Bing nodded and asked again.

"Your Majesty, there are about 500 Yuan troops in the mausoleum area, most of which are guarding the north gate of the mausoleum area. The rest, along with the demon monk and his personal followers, live in Taining Temple. The subordinates sent people to monitor it day and night. The demon monk had not left Taining Temple yesterday, and the action team was deployed around the temple to assist His Majesty in capturing this thief." Liu Qian replied.

"Okay!" Zhao Bing nodded, "Wang Meng, you lead the navy to stay and receive the brigade in; Tian Zhong, you lead the two battalions of troops to attack the North Gate defenders, not seeking complete annihilation, but you want to seize the magistrate area and quickly eliminate the enemy troops; the third battalion follows me to Taining Temple to capture the thief Tu. Liu Qian, you send someone to lead and cooperate with the operation team!"

"Subordinates obey the order!" the three of them saluted.

All the generals took their orders. Zhao Bing led a capital of the guard camp and a battalion of guards to Taining Temple under the guidance of Liu Qian. The temple was not built in the mausoleum area. It was also said that the Zhao family carried out demolition and drove them out. This temple was first built during the Zhou Xiande period, and was originally called Huachengyuan, and was changed to Zhengdaoyuan. In the first year of Jianzhong Jingguo, Lu You's grandfather and Grandmaster Lu Dian were appointed as the Left Chief of the Shangshu, so he asked to be the Gongdeyuan and change the name to Zhengci.

Later, when the Song Dynasty moved south, Empress Dowager Meng died and chose a place to bury. The mountain monument Yang Hua took a fancy to a ravine in the southeast of Shaoxing City. He stayed in Taining Temple for one night and felt very good about the mountains and rivers there. He returned to Beijing and wrote an investigation report to Zhao Gou, saying: "Taining Temple is surrounded by mountains on all sides, majestic and beautiful. It is Qinglong Mountain in the east, Ziyun Mountain in the south, Wufeng Mountain in the west, Wufeng Mountain in the north, and Wushan Mountain in the north. It is a Fengshui treasure land with the Zhuque in front, Xuanwu in the back, Qinglong Dragon and White Tiger in the left, and Baihu on the right. The imperial tomb was built there, with layers of peaks arched together, and the protection of the Qinglong and White Tigers is not only suitable for burying the bows and arrows of the previous emperor, but also foreshadowing the prosperity of the dynasty for thousands of years."

So Zhao Gou agreed to build a mausoleum area here, so that the former Taining Temple became the royal cemetery of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Yongmao Mausoleum of Ningzong was built on the former site of Taining Temple. He moved to the foot of Bailu Mountain to be named Taining Zen Temple. As the Shiling Temple, it turned into a royal temple. Not only did he enjoy various privileges, he also repaired it several times, and the scale became larger and larger, but he raised a group of ungrateful wolves.
