After the first batch of adventurers boarded the ship and set out to sea, several times more eager to try it were encouraged, and the small county of Binzhou was filled with a lot at once. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The Fang family, the Su family, the Chen family, the Nanyang merchant group, the Huangshuiyang heroes, and several major maritime forces under the name of the Metropolitan Governor dispatched at the same time, doing their best to transport the displaced people to the south, but the number of people standing in the wind on the coast every day was still only large, not less.

Five days later, the Binzhou county magistrate was frightened by the influx of displaced people, and Xiushu appealed to Zhongshu Province urgently. The Mongolian officials in Zhongshu Province didn't understand what was surprising about the tens of thousands of displaced people for a long time, weren't they just some Han and Khitans, who couldn't carry knives and guns, and couldn't ride horses and shoot arrows.

After running well, everyone is still worry-free, and the vacated land is just used as a pasture for the samurai who have made war exploits. Under the deliberate delay of the Mongolian officials, the emergency documents in Binzhou County were suppressed for more than ten days before they were transferred to Lu Shirong, a Hanchen who was in charge of the treasury's revenue and expenditure. Seeing this, Lu Shirong was shocked, and hurriedly played the real gold of the Ming Prince, and asked him to issue an order to order officials in various places to take strict precautions and not to release the exiles to the coastal prefectures and counties. There was still time, and the number of people who rushed to the beach was already 100,000 after more than a month of paperwork exchanges.

Going to the south, or even the south of the south, may die on the journey, but after all, there is still hope to live. Staying in the north under Kublai Khan as a slave, there is only one death. Whether you Kublai Khan got the Mandate of Heaven, whether it is a royal orthodoxy or not, it has nothing to do with a slave who only has the right to pay taxes. Slaves who only have the right to pay taxes only want to live, to live with dignity for themselves and their descendants as commoners and not as donkeys.

I will go to you, and die in a happy land. Even if the promised land is not visible.

Faced with such a large number of displaced people, local officials are helpless. Now it is no longer a question of how to drive the displaced people back to their places of origin. Instead, try not to provoke them, so as not to cause a large-scale civil unrest. Shandong and Hebei are wild, and the Red Jacket Army and the Bazi Army are short of soldiers. If any bold official throws a spark into the homeless people at this juncture, the fire that burns the prairie may cause the heads of the entire Zhongshu Province officials to move.

For the first time, the Northern Yuan government began to be kind to the people. Binzhou, Weizhou, and Yidu coastal areas actually opened porridge sheds to provide gruel for the people stranded on the beach. Although the porridge was so thin that the number of rice grains could be counted, after all, it was the first time that the government under the rule of the Northern Yuan Dynasty exercised its normal functions.

The Southern Navy Division, which came to welcome the displaced people southward, and the Northern Han Army, which rushed to prevent the displaced people's rebellion, also exercised restraint with each other. The naval divisions in the south did not fire artillery at the Northern Yuan army, and the Han army did not fire a single arrow at the Great Song battle flag. The two sides tacitly agreed to keep a distance between them, and let the displaced people board the ship in turn along the vacancy left between them.

With the acquiescence of the government, coastal fish farmers also joined the transport team. They stuffed the homeless people with small boats and ran along the coast of Laizhou Bay towards Deng and Laizhou. The three prefectures of Dengzhou, Laizhou and Ninghai, located on the Shandong Peninsula, had just been occupied by the Chen thief, and throwing the displaced people to him could not only save the trouble of the Northern Yuan government, but also exhaust the Chen thief's provisions.

When Du Hu and Chen saw the displaced people, they immediately took them to Jiaoxian. Jiaozhou Bay is calm and calm, and it is a natural harbor for mooring warships. Here, the displaced people can help Du Hu and Chen Hangyan build a group of fortresses along the harbor and work for relief, while waiting for the next convoy from the south. ，

Boatloads of displaced people went south, to Liangzhejiang, to Fujian, to Guangnan, to Liuqiu, Nanyang, and even farther islands. This number is so large that even later generations of historians can hardly believe their own statistics.

According to the repeated calculations of historians, during the entire Chinese National War of Independence, more than 8 million people fled from the north to the south by various means. In the winter of the fourth year of Xiangxing alone, 500,000 displaced people from Hebei and Shandong fled to the south by sea.

At that time, the total population of all ethnic groups in China was less than 100 million. The great migration that lasted for nearly a decade directly led to the collapse of the capitation tax system of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and another direct consequence was that the racial ratio of the Liuqiu and the Nanyang Islands was completely changed. Until hundreds of years later, the people there still spoke the official dialect fluently Shandong.

"My grandfather got on the boat with a bunk on his sleeve. I drifted for a long time (for a while), and I didn't see a silver (person...... "A Bo Ni and a Liuqiu meet each other, and the opening is the same tone."

"Alas, it's not that the tartars are subjected to the essence (practice) of the ground, and the wood (can't) live!" The person next to him summed it up. The unique accent condenses nostalgia, and the salty sea breeze and the taste of dry soil can always evoke nostalgia for one's homeland.

"It was an asymmetrical war, and Kublai Khan's advantage was only on the battlefield. In all other respects, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has almost won a complete victory! Years later, at the Shaowu Command Academy, a general who studied strategy wrote. At that time, the concept that wars between countries were not limited to the battlefield had become a systematic theory, and the economic, political, demographic and public opinion offensives launched by the Metropolitan Governorate against the Northern Yuan Dynasty were all used as classic examples for future generations to study. While amazed by the remarkable results, the generals couldn't help but wonder, what was the basis for the South to support such a huge offensive?

The comparison of the economic strength of the two sides gives the most direct answer.

After five years of encouragement by the Metropolitan Governor's Office and the vigorous technical improvement of the Huaxia (Shaowu) Academy of Sciences, the wind power water lifting, cascade drying method of salt has been popularized in Fujian and Liangguang, salt people open up furrows around the salt pond, use windmills to introduce the brine in the pond into the furrow, and use sunlight and wind power to steam and dry into salt. The annual output of salt in Fujian and Guangnan provinces is as high as more than 100 million catties, accounting for half of the total output of the north and south. Because of the influence of transportation channels and the North Yuan Lika system, most of the salt that the people in the north ate daily in those days actually needed to be supplied by the south.

In the four years of Xiangxing, after years of research and exploration by Shaowu Academy of Sciences, the technology of wind and water blast furnace coke ironmaking has matured. The steel smelting technology has also gradually gotten rid of the frying and alchemy summarized by Wen Tianxiang at the beginning, and has moved towards open-hearth steelmaking with larger output and more stable quality. Although the Huaxia Academy of Sciences has paid for nearly three years and the lives of several researchers in order to explore these technologies, the power of new technologies is enormous. In the four years of Xiangxing, two-thirds of the world's civil pig iron production came from Fujian and Guangnan. Kublai Khan controlled more than five times the territory of the Metropolitan Governorate, but salt and iron, the lifeblood of the country's economy, unwittingly caught the hands of the enemy.

The harsh artisan household system created by Ahma greatly dealt a blow to the enthusiasm of the people under the rule of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to mine and metallurgy, and the annual output of silver in the Northern Yuan Dynasty shrank to less than a quarter of that of the Song and Jin dynasties, and the output of copper was even more sluggish. Copper mines and gallbladder vanadium mines actually wanted the government to arrest people, and they were forced to mine with tattoos on their faces.

After Chen Hang's eyes were restored to the two Zhejiang, the pacification of the two Zhejiang provinces made Li Xing vigorously support the wet smelting of copper, and the number of people engaged in gall vanadium mining reached more than 20,000 people. In addition to providing ample copper ore for the Grand Governorate, the produced gallvanadium oil (sulphuric acid), an indispensable by-product of firearms manufacturing, was obtained.

Frosting as white as snow, crystal clear rock sugar, comfortable four-wheeled carriages, delicious canned food, fish floss, ham, and the luxury goods needed by the nobles of the Northern Yuan family were almost all "smuggled" from the south. These luxuries could not earn a penny of hard currency for the Yuan court, on the contrary, in order to compare with each other, the Mongol nobles and the Han princes had to exchange precious silver, horses, bronze tools, or other useful things for the south, such as the personnel arrangements of the court and the transfer of troops.

Only the southern merchants who issued the banknotes issued by Kublai Khan did not want it, on the contrary, if the officials of the Northern Yuan Dynasty wanted it, they could also get a bag from various sources, in denominations ranging from the largest to the smallest, and each of them was printed with a flower monopet approved by the Northern Yuan court.

In addition to salt, iron, and luxury, the greatest contribution of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is food. After several years of research and popularization, the double-cropping rice introduced from Champa has become widespread in Fujian and Liangguang, and the amount of grain harvested by farmers in a year is twice as much as before. The development of offshore fishing grounds has enabled the Metropolitan Government to completely get rid of the food problem that has plagued it for many years. Under the organization of Li Xing, the pacification envoy of Liangzhe, the two Zhejiang, which were abandoned by Kublai Khan's court because of the population and topography, took less than a year for the boat owners to develop eight major fishing grounds in Daji, Shengshan, Langgang, Huangze, Daiqu, Zhongjieshan, Yang'an and Jintang. Every day, the fleet of ships sailing out to sea can bring back endless fresh fish, and after several years of exploration has matured the technology of canning preservation, air drying, pickling and frying, a large number of fish into delicious, and easy to carry and transport meat products, becoming an indispensable type of main dish on the people's table.

The abundance of food directly stimulated the vigorous development of private manufacturing and handicraft industries, mainly workshops and workshops, and the vigorous development of private manufacturing and handicraft industries directly stimulated the demand for population in various places under the rule of the Metropolitan Governor. Therefore, "abducting" the population from the north is not only a means of striking at the enemy, but also, to a certain extent, adapts to the actual development needs of Fujian, Guangzhou, and Guangzhou.

The seeds sown by Wen Tianxiang, Zou Wei, Chen Longfu, Xiao Zi, Lin En and others five years ago have now borne plump fruits. Although some of these fruits deviated from Wen Tianxiang's hopes, they took root, sprouted, and multiplied themselves with their tenacious vitality. Even if it is Wen Tianxiang himself, it is difficult to easily and completely uproot it without paying a certain price.

When future generations look at their predecessors, they can distinguish between right and wrong. For the people who were at that time, they were thorny step by step, lest they fall into the abyss of no return if they were careless.

In the Fujian Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, it was late at night, and many people were still busy.

"Take this manuscript to Master Chen and let him publish it in our own newspaper!" Wen Tianxiang picked up the article he had just written, gently blew the ink marks on it, and handed it to Song Qingxun, who had been busy by his side.

"What is this?" Song Qingxun's bloodshot eyes widened and asked. The Chinese chapter is written in classical Chinese, but the title is "National War" in two vernacular characters with very different styles in the main text.

"For your views on this war, give everyone a heads-up in advance!" Wen Tianxiang replied with a smile. Since the Quanzhou incident, he has begun to consciously or unconsciously spread his views among young people. The advantage of this approach is that the staff around them and the Metropolitan Governor are more coordinated, but it also has a certain negative effect, that is, everyone gradually becomes obedient and even a little lazy to think.

"Oh!" Song Qingxun agreed in his mouth, but his legs and feet didn't move at all. It was a rare opportunity to get Wen Tianxiang's guidance, and many young people in the staff were eager for the opportunity to talk more with the Grand Duke.

"It turns out that we were able to successfully kill Suodu, defeat Zhang Hongfan, and even defeat Dachun. It is not entirely because our own strength is already very strong, but because the rear of the Mengyuan is unstable, and their main focus is on the grassland. And after the fall of Naiyan, the last enemy of Meng Yuan is us, so Boyan will do his best to attack, and he will win. Wen Tianxiang looked at Song Qingxun, who was full of curiosity, and explained in a low voice, "In terms of troops, the Mongolian army along the Guang Boyan Road is close to 200,000, and the other Mongolian and Han armies that have withdrawn from the grassland will continue to move south." They are all veterans of many years of fighting, and their combat experience and ability are not comparable to our captive army and civilian armed forces. Although our weapons are slightly better, we don't have an advantage in fighting hard! ”

"That's the case, the battle situation on the Jiangnan West Road was tense for a while, and General Zou has already planned to retreat to the second line of defense after holding out for a few more days!" Staff officer Jin Yan provided circumstantial evidence for Wen Tianxiang's words on the side. He is also a rising star who graduated from the Conducting Academy, and is favored by Wen Tianxiang because of his quick mind and flexible thinking.

"Purely in terms of military strength, we have no advantage. But in the battle between countries, victory is not only won by military strength. Material resources, people's will, and the wisdom of decision-makers are all key. The Northern Yuan started with plunder, and the army accumulated the prestige of a hundred battles, and it was inevitable to take the initiative in a short time. If we want to win this war, we must be prepared to fight it for a long time. The Mongols had no sense of management, and once they lost the important source of finance of plunder, it would not be long before they could not afford to pay their officials, buy the materials needed for the war, and even give the benefits promised to their clansmen and followers. A gang of robbers will not divide the spoils evenly, and you can imagine what will happen inside! ”

"There will be a big fight between themselves!" Song Qingxun concluded with a smile. Suddenly, he saw another area that he didn't know much about.

For several months in a row, the Metropolitan Governor's Office organized people to distribute counterfeit banknotes in the north, restricted merchants from exporting salt, pig iron, and other key daily necessities to the north, and even sent ships to Shandong to "abduct" the people. All kinds of unconventional tactics made Meng Yuan like a giant with too much physical exertion, panting frequently. The staff officers habitually included these "bad moves" into the category of conspiracy, and as soon as the scriptures were explained by Tianxiang today, everyone discovered that these were also a type of warfare.

But this tactic was cruel, and the newspapers reported at length about the salt famine, the food disaster, and the death of the starving people, and some "kind" Confucians naturally blamed the Metropolitan Governor's Office for all the tragedy. There were even "great good people" who appealed in the newspapers, suggesting that the Metropolitan Governor's Office put an end to this unjust method of fighting, so as to prevent the people of the north from suffering from the fish in the pond.

Some chambers of commerce, whose main business is exporting daily necessities to the north, have also voiced their dissatisfaction. Cutting off the supply of salt, iron and other materials could indeed seriously deal a blow to the Northern Yuan's ability to fight. At the same time, the corresponding industries in the south have also been hit. Although the Metropolitan Government provided compensatory measures for the industries and allowed them to export expensive luxury goods such as canned goods, frosting, and horse-drawn carriages to the north, the merchants' appetite for profit was still difficult to satisfy.

"On our own soil, any tactic we use, as long as it works, is justified. No one has the right to accuse the enslaved of cruelty in their means of resistance. The Chinese National University has a large number of people and strong resilience of civilization. Just get through the toughest times and push the enemy's patience to the limit of your endurance to achieve the final victory! And in the present way, if we can win this war, we will also win the opportunity for the revival of the whole of China, the freedom of the whole nation! ”

Wen Tianxiang slowly stated his views to the crowd, some of these opinions came from Wen Zhong's memory of "On Protracted War", and the other part was his thoughts on the current battle situation.

The Mongols, who lived by plundering, had little economic acumen, so the southern counterattacks were frequently successful in this regard. However, the economy is a double-edged sword, and it is never the passive side that is hurt.

According to the Supervisory Yuan's eyeliner, a small number of firms are already preparing for smuggling. A few literati who made a living selling their wisdom also shouted for the reopening of the export of salt and iron. Although their number is extremely limited, and they cannot make any big waves under the iron fist of the relevant departments, the Metropolitan Governor's Office has to take some preventive measures in advance. Because this war has reached a critical moment, any destructive factor can cause irreparable consequences.

He wanted to tell people through the newspaper the meaning, purpose and process of the war. The comparison of the strength of the two sides and rigorous reasoning are used to tell people that China, which has been weak for a long time, cannot win quickly, nor can it lose the country because of the defeat in a certain battle.

If it had been five years ago, Wen Tianxiang would never have dared to boast that the final victory must have belonged to Huaxia. Now, five years later, everything is different from yesterday.
