Regarding the recent actions of the Broken Army, Dong Wenzhi has put a lot of effort into carefully studying it. He has a group of staff members at home, and he likes to analyze the general trend of the world on weekdays. As an elder of the Han military family, there is no need to grasp other things, first of all, the word "potential" is the most important thing to see clearly. For hundreds of years, north of the Yellow River, first the Khitan, then the Jurchens, and then the Mongols, choosing the right master at the right time was the first priority for these families to maintain the survival of the family.

If you make the right choice, it's like his family taking refuge in Kublai Khan's family, and he can rise to the top.

If you make a mistake, you will be exterminated by someone, and together with your subordinates, you will cut melons and vegetables.

In the current situation, the Song Dynasty has become a remnant of the Song Dynasty, which is similar to the Liukou bandits. As long as there are no major strategic mistakes, the situation will not be reversed in a short period of time. What the courtiers needed to do was to help Kublai Khan get the idea and carry out the task of destroying the remnants of the Song Dynasty step by step, instead of being confused and mobilized by the enemy's partial victory.

Wen Tianxiang's advantage now is that he only has a broken army in his hands. Small, capable, and close to the front line, it can adjust its strategic deployment at any time and respond to unexpected situations. And this is exactly the disadvantage of the court, the news of the war was transmitted back to the court, and through Kublai Khan's decision, he returned to the front line, coming and going, at least half a month.

If the war is still the original way of sword intersection, half a month is not too long.

However, now that the captives have artillery as a siege weapon, the original city camp is difficult to use as an obstacle, and within half a month, the battle situation may have undergone fundamental changes.

Therefore, Dong Wenshan thinks that Wen Tianxiang's current strategic purpose is to use speed and chaos to fish in troubled waters.

And at this moment, the court must be stable, slow and soft, to resolve Wen Tianxiang's chaotic fist.

The steel crossbow is not terrible, and the range of the crossbow is not as good as that of famous bows such as Yellow Birch, Black Lacquer, Mark Beat, and Changman (all four are famous compound bows, with an effective range of nearly two hundred to three hundred steps). Although these famous bows are rare, they can be searched all over the world, enough to search for thousands, and arm the army that can restrain the crossbowmen of the captive army.

The artillery isn't scary either, that thing moves slowly. If you are on the plains, you can easily overturn the artillery group by using cavalry to outflank and sneak attack.

What needs to be guarded against is that the soldiers at all levels are in chaos and act with Wen Tianxiang's actions. Therefore, it is the right choice to stay still now, or even withdraw to Chaozhou for repair. The court should not only not reprimand, but also encourage. And no longer interfere with the military command of Da Chun, Suo Du and Liu Shen, grant absolute power and let them act cheaply.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted again by Ahma. Relying on Kublai Khan's usual weight, Ahmad retorted unceremoniously: "Quanzhou City is the largest city in the southeast, and last year, hundreds of thousands of troops of the Song people failed to capture it after three months of siege, so why do you say that it is undefensible." Moreover, there are nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers in the city, more than one million taels of taxes and silver that have not been released by the city and the city, and thousands of merchants from all over the city. If my Dayuan doesn't send troops to rescue me at this moment, who would dare to come to the court from thousands of miles away from all countries in the world! ”

"Lord Ahma, don't be in a hurry, and listen to Lord Dong's words. In front of Your Majesty, you must not give a courtesy! Boyan was a little impatient when he heard this, stood up, and stood between Ahma and Dong Wenshan.

He is an old and serious person, and he knows that what Dong Wenzhi said is not a lie. I also know why Ahmad is in such a hurry. In fact, deep in the heart of this color-eyed person, he doesn't care much about the fate of Quanzhou City. Even the Pu brothers, who were fellow Muslims with him, did not necessarily care whether they were alive or dead. Ahma's greatest concern was that the city had not handed over the tax money into Beijing, and the imperial court had used troops everywhere, and there was no reason to rob the property of the people of his country. Having lost the means of plunder that had just begun to rise, he struggled to make ends meet. If the wealth accumulated by the trade in the southeast sea is lost again this year, there will be no army to pay next year. Lord Ahma, who manages the country's finances, has an inseparable relationship.

But what Dong Wenshan said has his own reason. Judging from the achievements of the Broken Army in the past six months, there are few cities that can still support three days under artillery bombardment. That new type of weapon was the natural nemesis of the adobe city wall (the Song Dynasty city wall, mostly built of earth or mud bricks. It wasn't until the Ming Dynasty that artillery became popular, and stone blocks and blue brick walls began to become popular). The left-wing army, which had lost the city wall as a barrier and relied on money to maintain it, was indeed difficult to hold Quanzhou. Moreover, the sea route was blocked by the Fang family again, and the sailors of the Great Yuan Dynasty had no way to restrain the artillery. With neither fighting spirit nor reinforcements, it is a miracle that the Pu family has been able to hold on until now. And behind the miracle, it may be that the captives deliberately besieged but did not attack, in order to besiege the city and send reinforcements.

Ahma was suppressed by Boyan's authority, took a few steps back, muttered, and sat back in his original seat. Dong Wenshan's next words were indeed as Boyan thought, he thought that the Broken Army deliberately made a trap for Suodu to drill, and the top priority was to avoid Suodu being fooled and bring greater losses to Dayuan, rather than discussing how to save Quanzhou. And the battle situation with the remnants of the Song Dynasty for the world must be rearranged. Attaching importance to the same height as the Northwest Rebellion, from Dadu and Shandong, they vigorously recruited and mobilized Han troops, collected weapons, and gave the remnants of the Song Dynasty a blow. Even Li Heng and Lu Shikui, who were suppressing bandits in Da Yuling, should temporarily abandon those bandits, hit the front line in Fujian, and unify them to Dachun for dispatch.

After listening to Dong Wenshan's statement, Kublai Khan hummed lightly and did not rush to evaluate his suggestion. Deep in his heart, he was in a consistent contempt for the fighting power of the Nanren (Song people), he didn't think that the situation in Quanzhou was so dangerous as the war report said, nor did he think that Pu Shougeng could hold until now, it was completely because the army deliberately released water. After the Broken Army descended from Baizhang Ridge, Lianke Dacheng had good combat effectiveness, and he knew this. But the Broken Army attacked Shao Wu by intimidation. The attack on Fuzhou relied on fraud. This kind of strategy is accidental, and it can't be played a second time. On the other hand, Pu Shougeng, he had a common enmity with the Song Dynasty, so he definitely did not dare to surrender. wanted to abandon the city and leave, but the sea route was cut off again, and the passage on land was obviously deliberately set aside by Wen Tianxiang to disintegrate the heart of the left-wing army. If the Pu brothers can take Quanzhou as their loyalty, attract the Broken Army, and consume the supplies of the Broken Army as much as possible. When the veterans of the opposing division are tired, the armies of Dachun, Suodu, and Liu Shen are pressing, and it is still possible to complete the original plan of encircling and suppressing the captive army.

Thinking of this, he turned his gaze to Boyan and asked with a smile, "What does the prime minister mean?" ”

Hearing Kublai Khan point to himself, Boyan stood up and said respectfully, "The minister thinks that Lord Dong's analysis is very reasonable. It's just that the proposal to requisition the Han army to the south may not be feasible. In recent years, Shandong and Hebei have suffered from repeated famines, and the people have withered. Conscription at this time is tantamount to adding insult to injury! ”

This is a beautiful excuse that Boyan learned from those gentlemen of science, and used it for the sake of the people to cover up his true thoughts. The Han army cannot be used lightly, and in recent years, Kublai Khan and he have been gradually disarming, slowly weakening the strength of those Han army princes. If the Han army is summoned to participate in the war, those princes who have been deprived of the inheritance of the army will have to take the opportunity to ask for some benefits to go back. Once their strength grows, there is no guarantee that a few more ambitious ones will emerge.

The minister also did not approve of the requisition of the Han army to the south. The combat effectiveness of the Han army was low, the military discipline was corrupt, and the people were not able to make a living wherever they passed. After a few years, you still can't collect taxes! Ahma saw the opportunity and interjected again, blaming all the bad things done by the Mongol army on the head of the Han army. Although everyone's goal is the same, it is not as good as the era of fighting the world. Every step of the way now involves the power structure of the future. Therefore, no matter how reasonable Dong Wenshan's words are, Ahmad can't let him get his heart.

"In the matter of military discipline, I will naturally send someone to investigate. If the Han army is not transferred, Zhongqing thinks that where can the reinforcements be transferred. What can be done to solve the siege of Quanzhou? Kublai Khan asked his ministers with a smile.

"The minister thinks that the war in the northwest can be slowed down first, and now that the thieves are constantly striking, our army might as well retreat a little to promote its internal strife. The minister suggested that a part of the Tanma Red Army and the Han Army of the Jiuba Capital be dispatched to reinforce Dachun. And the war in Fujian, as Lord Dong said, abandoned Quanzhou to the enemy first. When we bring our soldiers and horses together, we will go on a campaign again! Boyan thought about it and put forward a suggestion similar to what Dong Wenshan said.

"Jiubadu, I forgot about him!" Kublai Khan's face was overjoyed again. Jiubadu is the name of the Mongolian nobles to Zhang Hongfan, the marquis of the Han army. Because he had followed Kublai Khan for many years, the ministers no longer regarded him and his subordinates as Han Chinese. Kublai Khan even declared several times in front of his ministers that he regarded Zhang Hongfan as his nephew. And Zhang Hongfan did live up to Kublai Khan's weight. Over the years, he has led the army to fight, and every battle will be won. Whether it is the Mongols on the steppe, or the remnants of the party, the Western Liao rout, and the Jiuba are all here, they can't muster the courage to lead the army to fight.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Quanzhou should not be abandoned, otherwise, my Dayuan will lose the heart of the courtiers in the world!" In the corner where he couldn't get up, a yellow-haired man who had been thinking about the holy will for a long time stood up and said in stiff Chinese.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to his strange tone, looking at his hairy face and towering nose, waiting for his next step.

"Marco, tell me why Quanzhou can't be abandoned!" Kublai Khan was worried that if he persuaded Dong Wenzhi and Boyan, when he heard this person's words, he smiled and signaled that he didn't need to panic and made suggestions at will.

Dong Wenshan shook his head, he knew that this sycophant would definitely delay national affairs. He also knew that he could no longer stop Kublai Khan's strategic adventure. The blonde, high-nosed, hairy "gorilla" came from the far west and was said to be a debauched, desolate and barren island nation. The surname is Pineapple, and his name is Marco. relied on a belly of strange rumors, and mixed with unusual flattery to get into an official position. But knowledge and ability are inferior, not even as good as Ahma.
