Chapter Thirty-Nine: Counterattack on the Continent
A paragraph summarizes the strategic planning of the Southern Song Dynasty for the next 20 years, and only Liu Taishi has this courage, if in the past, the ministers of civil and military affairs will inevitably have a fierce debate, but today no one responds, they are all people who have dealt with the Mongols for many years, and they know the power of the Mongolian cavalry, and the victory in the naval battle does not mean that the land battle can be won even in success, and the opinion of the Taishi is worth considering.

But Zhang Shijie still spoke: "I'm afraid Quanzhou is not easy to fight ......"
Two years ago, when Pu Shougeng rebelled, Zhang Shijie had attacked Quanzhou, and still could not capture Quanzhou City in the case of receiving in the city.
"I am responsible for fighting Quanzhou and destroying Pu Shougeng, and we will have at least five more years." Liu Yan said straight, the Pu family has been in charge of Quanzhou City for hundreds of years, extremely proficient in maritime trade and ocean navigation, and has a large number of skilled sailors, with the Pu family, the Yuan Dynasty can build a new fleet in the shortest possible time, if Quanzhou is razed to the ground, the Pu family will be wiped out, then the Yuan Dynasty's navy will be far away, and it is even very likely to change the national policy and implement a sea ban, so that the buffer space can be a lot.
As for Liu Yanzhi's strong recommendation of favoritism overseas, in fact, the exiled court up and down is not particularly psychologically resistant, the Zhao family has an old tradition, from the Northern Song Dynasty's Tanyuan Alliance, Jingkang's shame, to the Southern Song Dynasty for hundreds of years of favoritism in Hangzhou, at the expense of heavy gold coins and son-in-law titles to please the strong enemy in the north, they have done a lot of this kind of grievances, the battle of Yashan is just a rabbit in a hurry to bite people, really say that if they want to wave their division to the north, they themselves have to quarrel first.
Zhang Shijie suggested that the new defeat of the Yuan army's naval division, the news would not reach Quanzhou so quickly, it was better to use the captured Yuan army's flag ships to pretend to be Zhang Hongfan to deceive Quanzhou City, so as to save a lot of swords.
Although he is the generalissimo of the naval division, he relies on Liu Yanzhi very much, so he said this in a consultative tone.
Liu Yanzhi pondered for a moment and said: "It's okay, it's better to divide the troops into two places, Marshal Zhang will lead the light warship to take Quanzhou, and we will go to take Guangzhou first to replenish the grain and baggage population." ā
Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu had no objections, the direction of the battle was clear, Zhang Shijie still led his headquarters to the north to kill Quanzhou, and Wen Tianxiang led the rest of the ships across the Lingding Ocean and went straight to Guangzhou.
Liu Yanzhi officially opened the mansion and built a tooth, his palace front division yamen was set up on a warship, under his command of three thousand elite forbidden troops, a robe was also changed to a golden helmet and gold armor, covered with a red robe, standing upright at the bow of the ship and letting the sea breeze blow the placket, the boat full of people saw it, they were shocked.
"Grandpa Yue's reincarnation is nothing more than that." Someone sighed.
A rumor spread around, saying that Liu Yanzhi was actually the reincarnation of Yue Fei and Yue Wumu to save the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and the people were only willing to believe what they were willing to believe, turning a blind eye to unreasonable details, so no one mentioned anything too old and the old man's green cow, only that Liu Yanzhi was the reincarnation of Yue Wumu.
Zhang Shijie took away 300 warships, and the sailors still had more than 700, and the remaining 200 damaged warships were still left in Yashan for repair, and the rest were sent to Guangzhou.
Guangzhou is the Song Dynasty Guangnan East Road of the governance office, equivalent to the capital of Guangdong Province, is the nearest big city, there are hundreds of thousands of people, a large number of immigrants need overseas, this trip is to gather people, the fleet of mighty through the Lingding Ocean, Wen Tianxiang thought that not long ago he was still a prisoner, and now he has become the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, with mixed feelings, and a poem, but it is much worse than the previous work, and it has not been passed down through the ages, which is not to be mentioned later.
The fleet went all the way unimpeded and arrived in Guangzhou, and the Yuan army in Guangzhou had tens of thousands of people, but the news of Zhang Hongfan's new defeat had come, and the whole army was in a hurry, and they did not dare to promote the Song army.
On the surface of the Pearl River, the Song warships lined up, the sailors fixed the captured return guns, threw stone balls at the city wall of Guangzhou, and the city also returned fire with bed crossbows, and the two sides began the first round of fighting with long-range weapons.
Liu Yanzhi commanded the battle on his flagship, and next to him stood the deputy general Liu Handong, who was the commander of the capital, so he had the right to form his own team, and Liu Handong was his deputy commander.
Deputy Envoy Liu rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Zhi, let's make a big move." ā
Liu Yan said straightly: "We are now the regular army of the Great Song Dynasty, and those who don't call me brothers and sisters seem to be so full of anger and call me an official rank." ā
"Yes! Master Taishi, you can release a thunder, it is the kind that was released the day before yesterday, and it is the same as the kind of ultimate move that was put in Street Fighter. Liu Handong arched his hand.
Liu Yanzhi secretly complained, why didn't he want to make a big move, a fireball smashed a big hole in the city wall of Guangzhou, but the energy ball doesn't seem to be able to be cast every moment, maybe the emotions have to brew to a certain point, he hasn't found this law yet, but he can't say this, he can only smile faintly and say: "Are they worthy?" ā
"Also, it's not worth the time for the Taishi to spend internal strength to amplify the moves." Liu Handong was a good admiral, waving his knife and pointing at the city wall and saying, "Let me lead the troops to attack the city." ā
"You save it, the casualty rate of the Cloud Ladder Soldiers is 90 percent, and you can't bargain if you go up." Liu Yanzhi immediately vetoed it, he is not the kind of commander who can achieve a lot of success, he is very sympathetic to the soldiers, and he will not fill in the amount of human life unless it is absolutely necessary.
But how to take Guangzhou without losing soldiers, Liu Yan was very troubled, and when he was at a loss, a miracle appeared.
Guangzhou City is actually an empty city, the Han residents have been killed by the Yuan army ten rooms and nine empty, the people ran to hide outside the city, hiding in Tibet, afraid of the slaughter and looting of the Yuan army, at this time the Great Song Dynasty fleet came, every household came out of the hiding place, came to the river to ask to board the ship to avoid the disaster of war.
Overnight, the fleet had an extra 100,000 people, and the already narrow space became more crowded, but Taishi Liu had an order, and those who came did not refuse, they were all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and the imperial court had the obligation to protect them.
The next day, there was no movement in the city of Guangzhou, Liu Yanzhi sent Abukai to reconnoiter the enemy, Hai Dongqing looked down on the inside and outside of Guangzhou in the air, the city was empty like a ghost city, the original Yuan army was weak, and abandoned the city last night while it was dark.
Liu Yanzhi was overjoyed, personally led the troops into the city of Guangzhou, and the soldiers regained the first big city on the East Guangnan Road without blood, the Yuan army left in a hurry, the grain and grass were not taken away, and a large number of weapons, armor, bows and arrows were cheaper than the Song army.
At the head of the city of Guangzhou, the banner of the Great Song Dynasty was rising, and the emperor and the empress dowager also went ashore and temporarily lived in the government office of Guangzhou as a palace.
But this place can't stay for a long time, it won't be long before the Mongols' brigade arrives, so it is necessary to take advantage of this window period to rush to transport materials, grain and population, these affairs can be handled by Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu, Liu Yan is worried about the Quanzhou front, he is worried that Zhang Shijie will not win.
ā¦ā¦
In the south of Quanzhou City, covering an area of 300 acres of the Pu family mansion, in the study of the head of the family Pu Shougeng, the general of the Zhenguo of the Great Yuan Dynasty who fled here, Zhang Hongfan, the generalissimo of the Southern Expedition, was depressed and depressed, sighed, sitting opposite him was the ruler of Quanzhou City, the Great Yuan Dynasty Zhaoyong General, the Fujian Guangdu Governor and Horse Recruitment Envoy and the Governor of Fujian, Guangdong City, Fujian Provincial Governor of Fujian, Jianghuai Province Zhongshu Zuo Cheng and Quanzhou Provincial Pingzhang Political Affairs, Pu Shougeng.
Pu Shougeng is already an old man, although he was born in Quanzhou, but still maintains the tradition of his ancestors, at this time he is not wearing an official uniform, but a loose white robe, his gray eyes, and the gray-white beard on his chin all show the characteristics of his color eyes.
Zhang Hongfan was a little jealous of this old man, you must know that Zhao Song was extremely generous to the Pu family, knowing that they were not Han, and let the Pu family be in charge of Quanzhou City for generations, accumulating hundreds of millions of property, but when the Song Dynasty was declining, the Pu family did not know the slightest intention of repaying the favor, but did not hesitate to betray the Song Dynasty, surrendered, and killed tens of thousands of Song Dynasty clans, officials, and soldiers in Quanzhou City as a vote.
He was very worried, the Yuan army and the sailors were in mourning, and the Song Dynasty was relieved, this cunning old thing in front of him would turn his face and sell himself at a good price, after all, Pu Shougeng was just a businessman, and the businessman did not talk about morality and shame, as long as he could make money, he would sell the rope to the executioner who hanged him.
Of course, this worry is superfluous, the blood feud between Pu Shougeng and the Song Dynasty cannot be resolved, he and the Pu family have been tied to Dayuan's chariot and can't get down.
Pu Shougeng was calm and calm on the surface, but in his heart it was turbulent, he never expected that Zhang Hongfan would be defeated and returned, and he was clear about the combat effectiveness of the Yuan army's naval divisions, including the sailors who surrendered to the Song people, as well as the sea ships and sailors sponsored by the Pu family.
"The Song people have demons to help them fight." Zhang Hongfan took a deep breath and told Pu Shougeng about this fact, "Ben Shuai has seen with his own eyes, there are demon dragons, there are demon people, and fireballs the size of ice trays can be released from a distance of a thousand steps. ā
After the battle of the day, Zhang Hongfan fled alone, tens of thousands of sailors, no more than 100 warships, only one ship, dozens of people, he knew that the city of Guangzhou was weak, could not stop the Song army counterattack, so he went straight to Quanzhou, Pu Shou Geng's family had a big business, and he could also make up hundreds of ships, tens of thousands of horses to turn over for himself.
He must turn over the book, otherwise the Zhang family will be completely finished, losing so many soldiers and horses, all his past exploits have to be offset into it, fortunately, Fujian and Guangdong are thousands of miles away from Dadu, and when the news of the defeat reaches Dadu, it will be at least a few months later, and then wait until the emperor's punishment decision is issued, and it will be a few months, during this period, if you rebuild the water division by yourself and defeat the Song army, everything can be recovered.
Success or failure is all in Pu Shougeng's thoughts.
The old man finally spoke, his voice hoarse, but it was pure Hokkien Chinese: "Marshal Zhang, the old man is willing to help you, how should you repay it?" ā
"A businessman is a businessman, and anything can be considered a business." Zhang Hongfan was disdainful in his heart, but a stone fell to the ground, and he coughed dryly: "What the Pu family needs, Zhang can provide." ā
"What else do you have?" The old man smiled slyly.
Zhang Hongfan was a little angry, even if he was defeated, he was still the marshal of the Mongolian Han Army of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the general of Zhenguo, and the consolation envoy of Jiangdong Province.
But he can't be rash, kill Pu Shougeng, and there will be no possibility of turning the tables.
He could only endure, endure anger and hatred, and contempt to make a deal with this unscrupulous businessman.
