Chapter 270: Let him be a good spy for Da Yuan once!
By the time Wan Zhedu led an army of 40,000 to Quanzhou, 60,000 troops had gathered in Quanzhou. Many of them are newly recruited Han Chinese young people these days.
Wan Zhedu looked at the banner embroidered with the word "Song" on the head of the city waving in the wind, and his face was pale.
Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, in just a few days, such an earth-shattering change has occurred, how can he explain to the Great Khan?
"Marshal, let the warriors attack the city at once! When Quanzhou is attacked, those thieves will cry like babies! A general said murderously.
Wan Zhedu shook his head. Since he can command tens of thousands of troops, he is certainly not a fool. Although the Mongol warriors and the Tanma Red Army were strong and invincible, they did not carry siege equipment this time, and there were tens of thousands of defenders in the city, not to mention the strength of the city of Quanzhou, even if he took Quanzhou, he would suffer heavy casualties.
Moreover, there are also a large number of pirate warships at sea, which can also attack themselves from behind.
Every Mongol warrior is precious and should not be easily consumed in siege warfare.
"Immediately report to the capital, report to the Great Khan! Please order the Zhejiang Navy Division and the Guangdong Navy Division to flank the pirate warship! Wan Zhedu ordered.
"Wow!"
"Then order the nearby states and counties, let them build siege equipment, if they can't complete it within three days, Ben Shuai will want their lives!"
"Wow!"
At this time, the enthronement ceremony was being held in Quanzhou City.
Chen Daju and the others didn't know where to find a teenage Zhao boy Zhao Chang, and after confirming that it was the surviving Song Dynasty clan, they put the boy on the throne of the emperor.
Then, a large group of people were made official.
Even the Japanese Hattori Maruzo was sealed as a governor, and the navy was under control.
The place where Zhao Chang ascended the throne was the original Quanzhou prefect Yamen. However, due to the urgency of the war, Chen Daju and Xie Yuanlang and other "Zaizhi" also knew the importance of it, and did not act in a big way, but simply walked down the form, and their energy was still focused on defending the city.
Although there are now 60,000 troops in the city and 10,000 sailors on the sea outside the city, no one has the confidence to go out of the city and fight a dignified field battle with Wanzhedu.
That's looking for death.
Tens of thousands of cavalry, in the open area outside Quanzhou City, are simply invincible, and they can't be defeated at all.
For today's plan, there is only one way to defend the city while waiting, waiting for the Han people from all over the world to respond to the uprising, so that southern Fujian and even the entire Fujian land will be in chaos, and the entire Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the entire south will be in chaos!
…………
Li Luo got the news of the change in Quanzhou on April 9.
The restoration of Zhao Song was what he expected, or rather, it was also part of his planning. So Li Luo is not surprised.
So to speak, the plan was almost entirely successful. Cui Xiuning is also coming back from Haidong.
Why use the rebels and pirates to plot the restoration of the Zhao and Song dynasties? Because Li Luo will get the unseen benefits.
The first is to burn another fire, and the people's hearts, which are gradually cooling down in the south and gradually resigning to their fate, will be burned again, making the world even more chaotic. Let the Han people always hold on to hope, hold the idea of resistance, and maintain the mass base.
Second, let the Yuan court and Kublai Khan understand that the Song Dynasty may resurgence at any time, and if it is suppressed this time, it may be resurrected next time. In this way, the Yuan court will focus on the "remnants of the Song Dynasty" and will ignore many things, such as: Haidong.
Third, the consumption of the living forces of the Yuan army. When this small court of the Zhao and Song dynasties was suppressed, there would be at least a lot of casualties among the Mongol army and the Tanma Red army. And these elite soldiers, especially the "golden" Mongolian elite soldiers, will die one less one.
Fourth, let Kublai Khan see that the Wa Kingdom supported the Song Dynasty's plan to restore the country, and then conquered the Japanese Kingdom more firmly, thus falling into the quagmire of the conquest of Japan.
So, how long can Zhao Song's restoration last?
Li Luo estimated that in a month at most, Quanzhou would be broken. This small court was destined to be a flash in the pan. Even if many Han Chinese responded, they still couldn't escape the end of defeat.
Because of Meng Yuan's military strength, it is too strong. How long can those brave Han people and rebels last?
However, the impact must have been significant.
By then, more people will die. Then accumulate more hatred and wait for it to explode again.
In this regard, Li Luo is indeed a very ruthless person. However, he had reasons to convince himself.
It's all about the big picture, it's all about ... Chinese. A lot of sacrifices are worth it.
Is it possible that the Quanzhou Revolution will prevent the Yuan Dynasty from conquering Japan?
No way.
On the contrary, it will make Kublai Khan's heart to conquer the sun more firm. If the Wa State wanted to restore the Song Dynasty by supporting the righteous army, distract the energy of the Yuan Dynasty, create trouble for the Yuan Dynasty, and delay the pace of the Yuan army's conquest of Japan, it would definitely be counterproductive and counterproductive.
That shows that the Japanese underestimated the strength of the Yuan Dynasty and even more so the will of Kublai Khan.
The Yuan Dynasty, starting from the Mongol Empire, fought several wars at the same time many times, not only fighting on multiple fronts, but also winning them. And Kublai Khan was a monarch with an iron will.
This time, the strategic short-sightedness of the Japanese people not only failed to delay the pace of the Yuan army's conquest of Japan, but also angered the Yuan court even more. They are clever enough to shoot themselves in the foot.
Li Luo was pondering, and suddenly Li Zhi came to report: "Owner, Jiangnan is urgent." ”
Now that Cui Xiuning is not here, Li Zhi will report directly to Li Luo about the information.
"Say." Li Luodao.
Li Zhi opened a book, "Li Xu has been absorbed into the 'Post Envoy Division' by You Xuanfu, the leader of Zuo Cheng and Mengyuan spies in Jiangnan Province. Because he knew the Chinese language, he was about to be sent by You Xuanfu to the Kingdom of the United States to infiltrate the Kingdom of the United States in the name of returning Japanese overseas Chinese maritime merchants from the South Seas. ”
Li Xu is also Cui Xiuning's first batch of students, and as early as the beginning of October last year, he went to Jiangnan to get close to You Xuanfu.
His identity is that of a shop manager, specializing in the sale of Japanese specialties. It took three months of camouflage and several "coincidences" to get You Xuanfu to notice him in January this year. You Xuanfu observed and tested for another two months before he was relieved to recruit Li Xu over.
The Yuan court will soon conquer Japan, and You Xuanfu, as the head of the Yuan court's spies, will of course send someone to go undercover in the Wa Kingdom. It's just that he doesn't have a powerful spy who understands the Japanese language.
You Xuanfu "accidentally" discovered that the manager of a shop near the mansion that sold the specialties of the Japanese State could understand the Japanese language, so he immediately paid attention to it, and after repeatedly sending people to test it, he ruled out the possibility that Li Xu was a spy of the Japanese State, so he decided to use him.
In order to let Li Xu be discovered by You Xuanfu and generate trust, Cui Xiuning specially designed a set of plans before. Including identity setting, resume, expression management, and even speech, etc., have been arranged in detail.
It took nearly half a year to think about it like this, and it was finally "discovered" by You Xuanfu.
Li Luo said: "Is the spy of the Yuan Court called the post envoy?" "He hadn't heard that the Yuan Dynasty still had the Yamen of the Post Envoy Division.
Li Zhidao: "According to Li Xu's report, Mengyuan's post stations in various places also have an unknown underground role, which is to secretly monitor places and collect intelligence. Therefore, in fact, every post station has Meng Yuan's spies, which is equivalent to our sub-bureau. ”
Li Luo frowned: "There are so many Yuan Court post stations, each post station is an agency that spies on intelligence and monitors the locality, doesn't that mean that the strength of this post envoy is very strong?" ”
This is a bit scary, isn't it that the military commanders of later generations are divided into many stations?
Li Zhi smiled: "The owner is too worried. The subordinates and others have already analyzed Li Xu's intelligence, and this post envoy is in charge of the post station spies that are dense all over the world, which sounds amazing, but it is not like that. Their spies, compared to the agents of our Secret Inspectorate, are not professional, and they are not trained like us. Many of her current vocabulary are professional terms that she mastered when she studied with Cui Xiuning.
Li Luo understood, to put it bluntly, although You Xuanfu's 'Post Envoy Division' had a lot of secret agents, they were all professional, they belonged to rookie-level amateur spies, and their professional quality was far inferior to that of the Special Investigation Bureau that had undergone modern intelligence training.
But even so, it should not be underestimated, after all, the other party's spies are all over the world through the cobweb-like post station system, how can they really be so weak?
You must know that there are more than 1,500 post stations in the Yuan Court. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, where Xuanfu is located, there are more than 260 horse stations, sedan chairs, step stations, and water stations!
"Although the Special Investigation Bureau is professional, it has only been established for a short time and is understaffed. When it comes to the background, it is definitely not as good as You Xuanfu's 'post envoy'. You must not be careless, even if the other party is a paper tiger, you must treat it as a real tiger. Li Luo admonished.
Li Zhi solemnly listened to the lecture and said: "What the owner said is very true, please rest assured." The subordinates must always keep in mind the teachings of the bishop and dare not despise their opponents. ”
Li Luo said: "That's good." You go down and tell the others that you can despise your opponent strategically, but you must pay attention to it tactically. ”
"No!" Li Zhi obeyed, "Owner, there is one more matter, Li Xu asks for instructions to deal with it." He said that You Xuanfu suddenly arranged a family affair for him to marry the daughter of a petty official in Lin'an. He didn't know what to do. ”
Li Luo said with a smile: "You Xuanfu is not at ease, I am afraid that Li Xu will not contribute to the Wa Kingdom, or betray him, so he will simply let Li Xu become a family quickly, and Li Xu's wife will become his hostage." ”
Li Zhi frowned and said, "That... How should subordinates reply to Li Xu? ”
Li Luo thought for a while, "Let him marry!" Anyway, we have to conquer Japan, at least for the next period of time, we and the Yuan court have the same goal, they are all to deal with the Wa State, so let Li Xu be a good spy of the Great Yuan. As for the future, there are ways to solve this matter. ”
"No!" Li Zhi commanded, "The subordinates will formulate a plan just in case... Prevention program! ”
Li Luo smiled: "That's what your special investigation bureau decides whether you should do it or not, and I don't interfere." ”
As a superior person, there are some things he can't say explicitly. But smart subordinates will take the initiative to say and do. Li Zhi is such a subordinate.
What if Li Xu married the woman introduced by You Xuanfu? is not You Xuanfu's daughter. Li Xu didn't take the initiative to betray Luoning Society for this. These students are not only brainwashed, but also materially rich, and when they were first selected, they made a personality analysis test, and they are not easy to defect.
Even if he betrayed, Li Luo would know very quickly and have time to deal with it.
ps: The post system of the Yuan Dynasty did have the role of an intelligence agency, monitoring places for the Yuan Dynasty and spying on various news. Please continue to support me, the war against Japan is about to begin.
