On September 16th, it was another day of the tide. The river water was supported by the tide and poured into Songjiang. The water level of Taihu Lake also rose. The surging water pushed the lake water back westward, colliding with the water flowing into Taihu Lake to create surging waves. The wave hit the west island and made a huge sound, splashing layers of mist. The ships leaning against the east of the island also swayed violently, and the island seemed to be shaking.

"Official family, shrimp wonton!" Zhao Bing got up and turned around, returned to the camp in the west island. After washing up, Wang De sent a bowl of wonton.

"Oh, this place is really good. I eat well and sleep soundly. I don't want to leave anymore!" Zhao Bing used a spoon to scoop up a wonton and blew the heat. After biting it, a fresh smell immediately poured into his mouth. He couldn't help but sigh.

"The official family, West Lake in Hangzhou is more beautiful, and has a different charm than Taihu Lake. In addition, the wine shops and restaurants are everywhere, I am afraid that the official family will not be willing to leave!" Wang De picked up another one for the little emperor and put them on a disc and said with a smile.

"Hey, you don't understand. Hangzhou has been in my dynasty for a hundred years. The traces of manual carving are too heavy and there is no interest in the mountains. Besides, all the needs in the city are sent to Beijing from other places. After you get it layer by layer, this bowl of shrimp wonton is probably worth a lot of money. My little food cost is only enough to drink soup!" Zhao Bing said with a pout.

"The officials are joking. How dare the young ones take away the food and money from the officials? However, Hangzhou is not as big as Qiongzhou Prefecture City. It is true that the expenses in the city are greater!" Wang De said with a wry smile.

"Look at how good this lake is. Let's build a few rooms on this island, living in this beauty every day. If you are greedy, there are fish, shrimps, and crabs in the lake, it is also a pleasure to roam the lake. It is many times better than building pavilions and towers in the high walls and barriers!" Zhao Bing ate another wonton and sighed with heat.

"Officials, after restoring the country, everything is in trouble. Don't have the intention of living in seclusion in the countryside!" Wang De quickly advised after hearing this.

"I'm bored, you're like those corrupt scholars now. They can keep their wives and beautiful concubines. If you have nothing to do, you can make some sour articles and express some emotion, criticize current affairs, and even pick me up and scold me. I can't take a break from my busy schedule and look at the great mountains and rivers of my dynasty. You people just can't believe that I live a better life!" Zhao Bing used a spoon to dot Wang De, and then scooped up a wonton and swallowed it into his stomach.

"What the officials said is that the young people don't like them to advise in front of the officials at all times, and they have to find some problems in everything. Although they are respectful on the face, they actually want to lock the officials in their cage!" Wang De knew that the little emperor was scolding him explicitly, but in fact he was complaining, so he quickly expressed his position and stood firmly on His Majesty's side.

"This is quite reasonable. Listening to their nagging every day, it is better to stay in the army to kill people, set fire, drink and eat meat!" Zhao Bing was very satisfied with the hearing. He was also worried that this guy would betray him and become the "accomplice" of those ministers, so he had to beat him to understand who the boss was, so he could retain the last free space and privacy. He drank a sip of soup and said.

"Your Majesty, there is something important to report to the General Dong!" Chen Dun hurriedly entered the tent and bowed to him.

"Well, let him come in!" Zhao Bing said after hearing this, put down the spoon, but he felt unwilling to accept it. He picked up the bowl and pulled all the remaining wontons into his mouth, chewed them quickly for a few times and swallowed them.

"Oh, there must be some in the kitchen. Wang De also serves a bowl for Dunzi!" Zhao Bing wiped his mouth after eating in a few bites. He looked up and saw that Chen Dun was not moving, and he stood straight in front of him, but his throat was shaking and he kept swallowing his saliva. He immediately understood and immediately ordered Wang Dedao.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Dun immediately saluted and called someone after hearing this, and Wang De hurriedly followed him out. However, Zhao Bing shook his head and smiled, secretly mourning the child with potential and striving for his goal, and he could continue to train.

"Your Majesty, the whistle ship returns. Jiankang's Longwan Navy carried the Zhending Army into the canal in Dantu, and the canal soldiers from the sea route transporting grain from Wanhu Mansion also tend to move south in Jiangyin!" Dong Yicheng reported after entering the tent.

"Well, it seems that our move to knock the mountain and shake the tiger has worked. After taking Chongming, they couldn't hold back." Zhao Bing heard this and knocked the plate with a spoon and said. After visiting the lake a few days ago, he asked Zhao Mengjin and others to go back to attack Chongming first for a tentative attack. If the enemy moves, they can understand the enemy's intentions, but he stayed in Dong Yicheng's army in the name of relaxation, and did not return to Shengsi Island, nor did he return to Shaoxing.

"Your Majesty has made every plan and has made a small plan. That old man Zhang Xingzu can't sit still!" Dong Yicheng said.

"Dong Zhengzheng should not be busy flattering me at first, I will scold me later!" Zhao Bing said with a smile.

"You must know that Zhending Army has tens of thousands of households, and its troops have no less than ten thousand soldiers. It is estimated that there will be no less than nine thousand people left behind. This time, there are no less than nine thousand people. Longwan Navy also has 8,000 troops, and more than 400 warships of all sizes and sizes selected by each army, who are good at boats and water. They have been trained for nearly a year and their combat power cannot be underestimated. Although you have annihilated one thousand households of grain transport by the sea, there are still four thousand households. In addition, the grain soldiers in the headquarters should be about five thousand people, and there are no less than a thousand ships. If you add sailors, the boat troops, etc., there will be no less than 20,000 people. You have to use the power of one army to fight more than 40,000 enemies, and the pressure is quite high!"

"Your Majesty, theirs are also called naval troops, just a group of infantrymen on the boat. As long as they enter the lake, they will be guaranteed to be buried in this lake without returning!" Dong Yicheng said without caring about it after hearing this.

"The enemy Zhending Army is an infantryman, and they are all northerners. They are good at melee combat, but they can't stand firmly on the ship. The subordinates thought that their main combat goal was to regain Suzhou first, and then go into the lake to grab food. The Longwan Navy's reconnaissance did not improve much, but changed the stone bullets to flowering bullets and golden juice cannons filled with gunpowder. The firepower and range were not as good as our crossbows and rockets. Even if they could reach us, those war soldiers were ballast stones. It was true that the cannons and rockets were proficient in boat control, but their main task was to suppress the people along the coast, protect the cannons, and resist pirates. They only had swords, guns, bows and crossbows, and their combat effectiveness was not strong!"

"What we say makes sense, but our goal is to completely annihilate the enemy. I know that winning is easy, but annihilation is not easy. You only have more than 300 warships of all sizes and sizes. If they are defeated, they will immediately flee. And this is the lake area, which is not as good as the sea. There are shores on all sides, and there are many rivers inside and outside. If they go ashore, you can't surround them; if you want to escape, how can you defend every river!" Zhao Bing said again.

"The enemy has just been dispatched now. If the two armies will go down the river in Wuxi, from the mouth of Songjiang River to Taihu Lake, their subordinates are preparing to lure it into the East Lake area south of the West Island. This lake area is narrow and the west bank is mostly mountainous. The steep lake shore is not conducive to their landing. As long as the mouth of Songjiang River is sealed, the enemy will be difficult to escape. Our army can rely on the east and west islands and use the waterways between the islands to enter and exit the enemy!" Dong Yicheng thought for a moment and asked.

"Well, it's right. The enemy must have entered the lake when the tide is rising. The water area is narrow. Although they have many ships, they are difficult to deploy, which is conducive to the long-range firepower of our army. The key to success or failure depends on Zheng Zheng. If he can successfully lure all the enemies into Taihu Lake, they will be unable to escape the destruction!" Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"That is, the enemy's troops entered the lake and went north to the shallows. Once the tide fell, they would be stranded. They could only go south. Even if they found an ambush, they could not moor the boat. Otherwise, the ship would collide with them and would be in chaos before the battle!" Dong Yicheng said.

"It is reported that the Dilongwan Navy is equipped with vehicles and ships. This kind of ship is suitable for driving in the inland rivers. It has fast speed and strong maneuverability. You must be careful not to let it be near the side, otherwise we will suffer a loss!" Zhao Bing didn't say much about Dong Yicheng's plan, but he remembered this incident. There were very few war soldiers on his warship, so he would definitely suffer a loss when fighting on the side, so he told him.

"Don't worry, your Majesty, I know that this ship is more flexible than our sea ships in the world, and is free to advance and retreat, and is not inferior to our dragon ships. However, as long as one side of the oar is destroyed, it will collapse on the water and cannot move!" Dong Yicheng obviously thought of this and said with confidence.

"There is another thing to note. The food must be protected. This is the guarantee of our entire army this winter. If the enemy is burned, even if the battle is won, it will be meaningless." Zhao Bing was too touched by the shortage of food. He first asked Dong Yicheng to attack Liujiagang for this batch of food. With the food, he could support the entire Imperial Army's needs for combat in the dry season, and persist until the spring grain harvest next year.

"I understand, I will transfer all the grain ships here tonight!" Dong Yicheng pointed out on the map.

"Okay, this place is good!" Zhao Bing looked at the location where he pointed. He remembered that it was a larger water bay on the west side of the south bank of Taihu Lake. There was a small island covered with reeds in front of it, which just covered the water bay. It was difficult to find ships moored in the water bay from a distance.

"If Your Majesty saves this batch of food, please agree to something!" Seeing that Your Majesty is very satisfied with his arrangement, Dong Yicheng hesitated and said.

"Oh, I have saved my great achievements in food. As long as you don't have an excessive demand, I will accept it if you want an official or a money!" Zhao Bing was a little surprised, but still said as usual. He knew that it is not a bad thing for people to have desires, but it is dangerous if it becomes greed.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates faced the enemy's sea-transported grain transport route Chongming Thousand Houses. Although their combat effectiveness was poor, the canal soldiers and sailors were all good at handling boats as Your Majesty said. Moreover, these people are local people in Liangzhe, who are interested in the Song Dynasty, and can be used for us with a little training. Therefore, my subordinates want to bring all the captured canal soldiers and sailors into the army, hoping that your Majesty can be assigned to their subordinates first!" Dong Yicheng said with a smile.

"Oh, I agree to this matter and make the decision for you. All the captured ones were left in your army. In addition, if you defeat the captured Cao army in this battle, you can choose half of them first, and then add the rest to other armies. As for how much you can keep, it depends on your ability." Zhao Bing was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately agreed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I don't know what arrangements are today, I have to continue to do it!" Dong Yicheng was overjoyed when he saw His Majesty agreeing, and asked again.

"I don't need you to accompany you, just do your business well. Wuxi has only one day's journey to this point, so you must monitor it closely to prevent changes in the middle. In addition, send a message to Zhao Mengjin and Liu Zhu to let them seize the fighter's opportunity and conquer Jiankang!" Zhao Bing said.

"Yes, Your Majesty must not leave the island, otherwise Your Majesty's dragon body will be pretended, and you will not forgive me if you are 100 deaths!" Dong Yicheng saluted and then asked with a bitter face. He was actually happy and worried about His Majesty staying in Taihu Lake. He was happy that he was a little more at ease in this battle, and with His Majesty in charge, he felt much more at ease; he was worried that His Majesty had always been restless and no one could restrain him here. He was really worried that if he didn't pay attention to His Majesty, he would run to the front, so he could only persuade him kindly.

"Okay, I will go fishing on the East Island today, and I will never be far away, but you can't send someone to watch me!" Zhao Bing slapped the table and said, as if he had reached a gentleman agreement with him...

Although the little emperor agreed to his request, Dong Yicheng dared not rest assured. He watched His Majesty take a dragon boat to the East Island, and also watched him take a fishing rod and accompany Chen Dun to fish on the bridge. But he knew that the bridge was connected to the village opposite, and people in the village would go to the island, and of course they could go to the other side. So he specially sent a boat to wander around the neighborhood in the name of patrol to prevent His Majesty from sneaking up onto the shore.

However, this time His Majesty did keep his promise. He fished under the corridor on the bridge, and lunch was solved on the spot with the fish he caught, without causing any trouble for himself. The only thing that made him worried was that His Majesty was wearing a navy uniform and was like a soldier, while Chen Dun was not old. People who didn't know the inside thought they were two ordinary soldiers.

The problem is that Your Majesty has always been kind and can chat with an ordinary citizen for a long time. Dong Yicheng is worried that if His Majesty is recognized by the spy sent by the enemy, it will be troublesome to kill him suddenly. What is even more excessive is that Your Majesty not only has a lively chat with others, but also has a "lunch" with them, but he dares not interfere. One is worried that His Majesty's identity will be revealed; the other is worried that others will know that he is chatting with the current emperor of the Song Dynasty. Once he is excited, the matter will be even more impossible to end.

Fortunately, nothing that Dong Yicheng was worried about happened. Before dark, His Majesty returned to the West Island safely and shared the fresh fish he had captured with everyone. The food ship in Taihei took advantage of the moonlight to move out of the water camp and moved it to the river bay of West Lake. In the second half of the night, Zheng Yong led the navy of the guards to the suihu and told His Majesty that Zhao Mengjin and Liu Zhu were ready. Once the Yuan army entered Taihu, they would divide their troops to seize Jiangyin and cut off the enemy's retreat route, and lead the army to go upstream and go straight to Jiankang.

The left prime minister Lu Xiufu also heard news that they had captured Mingzhou, and the reception of Huaiyong Army Peace Navy arrived at Shaoxing Prefecture, and temporarily handed over the defense to them. Now, two infantry brigades of the Guards, artillery brigades, cavalry brigades and the Fifth Division were preparing to attack Hangzhou and recover the surrounding prefectures and counties...
