Originally, he came out to participate in the sea trial under the guise of patrolling coastal defense, but today there were too many 'idle' people waiting, and Zhao Yu had to restrain himself, and only ordered to do three actions: turning on the spot, short-distance acceleration and sprinting, and sudden stop and reversing. Although these three actions are simple, insiders know that they can not only test the performance and handling of the ship, but also test the captain's command and coordination ability and the training level of the sailors. As long as the ship's handling is not good, or the captain's orders are not decisive enough, or the sailors are not in place, any one of these conditions will lead to failure.

Fortunately, Chen Renweng should show his face today, and the three movements are all done smoothly, which can be called perfect, and although Zhao Yu still feels that he has not been able to show all the characteristics of the turtle boat and is a little disappointed, he can be regarded as having a personal experience, and he is basically satisfied with his 'works', and he is proud of his 'discerning eyes'. And Chen Renweng also took into account that in addition to His Royal Highness on the ship, the rest were all the heads and brains of the Shuai Mansion, if there was an accident, Qiongzhou would immediately have to mess up, and his eighty heads were not enough to cut off.

Therefore, Chen Renweng's feverish head also calmed down, and he only added two more items: ballista target shooting and smoke to conceal the enemy, and then ended the exercise. The boat sailed out of the waterway between Haikou Pu and Baisha Port to Qixingling, and then sailed back into the open sea, and sailed west along the coastline to Qiongshan County, which happened to be able to see the whole coastline of Qiongzhou.

The blue sky and blue sea make people feel refreshed, but after seeing it, Zhao Yu's mood is difficult to be cheerful, the rainy season will end in two months, and the weather is getting cooler, and now a series of counteroffensives launched by ****** have been frustrated frequently, and the situation in favor of their own side has been gradually reversed. And whether this weak defense line can stop the million-strong Mongolian army, Zhao Yu is worried again......

In June, Huairen Zhang De raised troops against the Yuan, ****, Fu Gao and other troops in response, recovered the Huangzhou and Shouchang armies on Huainan West Road, and defeated Zheng Ding, the Hubei Provincial Propaganda Envoy who came to conquer in Fankou, Ezhou, Jinghu North Road, causing him to drown in Jiangzhong, and the military power was greatly boosted for a while. And Wen Tianxiang, who went out of Jiannan, led his troops to recover Ganzhou Yandu County; Later, he sat in Xingguo County, Ganzhou, and ordered Zhao Shisheng and others to send troops to recover Jizhou and Ganzhou counties, and even besieged Ganzhou. There is also Zhao Fan, and whenever he responds with soldiers, the situation in Jiangxi is also very good.

******, who had just taken a breath in the Guanfu field in Guangzhou, was not willing to be lonely, Zhang Shijie after getting the local Chen Hangyan and the Zhutong She army led by Mrs. Xu, a woman of She, led the troops north to Quanzhou to attack Pu Shougeng, wanting to avenge the slaughter of tens of thousands of sons that day. And Pu Shougeng did not dare to fight, so he could only close the city and defend himself. Zhang Shijie also spread the news that Zhulu Xing troops were against the Yuan, and Chen Hao of the Xinghua Army led the troops to respond, and the soldiers in Fuzhou City also conspired to murder Wang Jiweng in response to Zhang Shijie, but unfortunately the matter was leaked and they were all killed by Wang Jiweng. He also ordered his troops to lead Gao Rixin to attack and recover the Shaowu army on the Fujian Road.

The Mongol side kidnapped Kublai Khan's son, King Namuhan of Beiping, and the right prime minister Antu in Mengke's son Siliji, officially rebelled in northern Xinjiang, and made peace with the grandson of Wokotai, who had already rebelled, but did not respond, so Siliji could only rely on his own troops to claim the king in Shangdu and north of Lincheng! When the news came, Kublai Khan made up his mind to quell the civil strife by force, and ordered Boyan to be the commander, and the prince Anxi Wang Atanan led his army to the north at the same time to quell the rebellion of Siriji.

When the Great Song Dynasty launched a full-scale counteroffensive in various places, Wen Tianxiang, who was victorious, was unaware of being attacked by Li Heng, a Mongolian Jiangxi Xuanjiao, and failed in the battle at Zhongbu, and wanted to flee to Yongfeng County, Jizhou, where he gathered tens of thousands of troops to join Zou Xun, but he did not expect Zou Xun's troops to collapse first. Li Heng led the army to chase all the way, and caught up with Wen Tianxiang at Fangshiling on the border of Ganzhou and Jizhou, and the general Gong Xin exchanged his sacrifice for Tianxiang the opportunity to escape. Tianxiang was defeated to the area of the empty pit!

The latest news that Zhao Yu got was that Wen Tianxiang was in the defeat, the team was scattered and difficult to gather, his wife, children, and staff were all captured, and he himself was spared because of the arrest of Zhao Shixian, the deputy envoy of the clan and Jiangxi, and his wife Ouyang and her family were taken to Shangdu by Li Heng. Wen Tianxiang is now leading the remnants to Xunzhou on Guangnan East Road, looking for opportunities in the Nanling area in order to make a comeback......

"Why is Your Highness unhappy, haven't you been annoyed by what happened before?" Ying Jieyan saw that the little prince frowned, looked out of the window thoughtfully for a while, and looked down at the map on the case for a while, looking very unhappy, thinking that he was still angry for making a fool of himself in the inscription just now, so he came over and asked.

"Sir, where does this king still have the leisure to worry about those chicken feathers, and he is worried that a big war will start, can my commander's army fight and hold this Qiongzhou!" Zhao Yu glanced at Ying Jieyan and said with a wry smile.

"Does Your Highness think that the war will soon spread here?" Ying Jieyan frowned when he heard this.

"Even if it's not in front of you, I'm afraid it's not long away!" Zhao Hao sighed, "Wen Xiangxin retreated into Guangnan East Road in defeat, and the enemy general Li Heng followed him into Nanling. And Zhang Shumi has been attacking Quanzhou for a long time, and the thieves will also send people for help, and now Guangzhou has fallen into my hands, and Quanzhou has become an important place for sea trade, and the Tartars will not lose lightly, and will definitely send troops to help. In this way, Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian have invaded the Tartar army, and the imperial court will not dare to stay in Guangzhou for a long time, so it can only continue to move south, and the Tartar army will also follow to the South Guangxi Road, how can I Qiongzhou be spared! ”

"The enemy's army is still in the north, the civil strife has not been settled, the Jiangnan army is empty, how to mobilize heavy troops, I think His Highness is too worried!" Ying Jieyan thought about it.

"Alas, there has been news recently that Kuizhou Road Fuzhou appeased Yang Li and his son Yang Sirong to surrender to the Yuan, and Banzhou pacified Yang Bangxian to surrender, and only Hezhou in the southwest region is still fighting with beasts, and there is no war in it. The Tartars only need to mobilize the local forces of Yungui and Lianghuai, which cannot be stopped by the imperial court. Moreover, how Siriji defeated the army of Boyan on his own will be known in less than two months. Zhao Yu shook his head and sighed, Ying Jie Yan still has illusions about the imperial court, hoping that they can block it, and it is conceivable what the generals below are thinking.

"Well, now the situation is exactly what His Highness had expected." At this moment, we have to admit that the situation is becoming more and more serious.

"Sir, can you know that the enemy chieftain Kublai Khan has ordered the provincial edict to say that 'Jiangnan is peaceful, Song Yi said that Song Yi died in Song, and Xing Yi said Hangzhou'." Zhao Yu said softly.

"Damn, my Great Song Dynasty is still alive, how can I allow the Tartars to speak falsely!" should be strict with fists. Although he was angry, he also knew that Kublai Khan had already regarded himself as the lord of China, and the Great Song Dynasty no longer existed in his eyes, and he would no longer regard ****** as a country, but only regarded them as bandits, which also marked that Kublai Khan was about to launch the final purge of Zhao and Song in Jiangnan.

"Having said that, if you can't keep the imperial court, it will be a fact, and Qiongzhou may be the last foothold of the imperial court, the foundation of the revival of the Great Song Dynasty." Zhao Yu said helplessly.

"Your Highness, now that our coastal defense construction has just begun, and now there are tens of thousands of troops, why worry about not being able to hold Qiongzhou!" Ying Jieyan saw that His Royal Highness was in a low mood, so he hurriedly cheered him up.

"Yes, but it seems to me that if 50,000 enemy troops come to attack, we can defeat the enemy; If the enemy of 100,000 attacks all the way, our defense line can still block the enemy's attack, but if the troops are divided into two ways, the defense line is still weak, and there are too many loopholes, so it is inevitable to take care of one and lose the other! Zhao Hao said with a wry smile.

"Your Royal Highness is right, Qiongzhou is only ten miles away from Haikou, although we have established three lines of defense, but once the enemy army lands, it will be difficult to resist, and it will be under the city in a moment, and the small city of Qiongzhou will be trapped to death even if it is not breached. If Qiongzhou is lost, the whole island will be in danger! Ying Jieyan nodded and said, "And now that we have limited troops, we have to fortify everywhere, so that the troops are scattered, and it is difficult for the enemy to divide their troops to attack in a large way." Then will we transfer the rear army back to Qiongzhou to strengthen the troops? ”

"It's too early to transfer back the rear army, and it can give us an early warning when the enemy arrives in Leizhou, so as to preempt the enemy." Zhao Yu waved his hand.

"Your Highness, you said you want to strike first? But we are in a weak position, and sending troops first will not weaken our strength to let go even more! Ying Jieyan asked puzzled.

"Sir also said that the depth of our defense against the enemy is too small, so we can only try to increase it, and first attack the enemy with a naval army to fight the sea and weaken its strength!" Zhao Yu said.

"Your Highness's meaning The old man understands, Tartars are good at field warfare, but they are not good at water warfare. And the sea is vast, no matter how powerful the Tartar is, he can't come across the sea, and he has to rely on the boatman. If the enemy attacks from two sides, we can also block the enemy along the way, so as to reduce the pressure on land, yes or no! "Ying Jie Yan stroked his beard and said.

"Mr. is worthy of being a master of the art of war, so that the problem can be solved, this king has thanked you!" Zhao Yu arched his hand and smiled.

"This ...... Your Highness, don't make fun of the old man! Ying Jieyan was a little annoyed by His Highness's praise like this, "His Royal Highness ignored the noise of a group of infantry soldiers, and blindly favored the navy, thinking that he had already thought of this, but he came to tease the old man!" ”

"Hehe, this king has no such intention, Mr. misinterpreted!" Zhao Hao said with a sly smile, and put on a look of denying death, which made people want to beat him up.

"Alas......" Ying Jieyan could only sigh helplessly, "Since His Highness has already prepared, why is he still bored?" ”

"Alas, Mr. Dissatisfied said that this king has no bottom in his heart!" Zhao Yu also sighed and said, "The Tartars have not only occupied the Central Plains now, but also have the land south of the Yangtze River, with a jurisdiction of thousands of miles, and hundreds of millions of subjects under their rule, and they can easily recruit millions of soldiers. And even if I Qiongzhou is sent out as a soldier, there are only 100,000 people, and I have won once, twice, and three times against one country in one place...... Alas! ”

"Your Highness, the world is impermanent, who knows what will happen tomorrow, who would have thought that His Highness would be able to create the Shuai Mansion at this time last year? Even the old man never thought that he would be persuaded by His Highness to enter the mansion as a curtain, and he would wear his robe again at such an old age! Ying Jieyan said with a chuckle, realizing that His Highness was thinking too much precisely because he was too smart. But he is a child, and his will is inevitably not strong, so he is depressed, "Now as long as His Royal Highness is here, the Shuai Mansion is there, so why bother with the gains and losses of one city and one place!" ”

"Hehe, too! Today we will do today's things, and maybe tomorrow Kublai Khan will burp. Zhao Hao laughed and said, but it is strange to think about it, why did he change his original intention and become more and more unable to let go? Is it reluctant to give up anything, or can't bear to leave anything, or has his consciousness improved, and he really wants to expel the Tartars and restore my Han rivers and mountains! Whatever, history can't be easily tampered with, and things can't be escaped for themselves.

Whether it was Ying Jieyan's words that untied his heart knot, or Zhao Yu really figured it out, he was in a good mood anyway, and shouted at Chen Renweng that he was hungry and wanted to eat. And the people who were still looking at the freshness realized that the time was past noon, and their stomachs were rumbling, so they asked Chen Renweng to hurry up and prepare the meal.

"Your Highness, my lords, this ship is on its first voyage, and there is not a grain of grain except for clear water. It's not far from the garrison of the Destroyer, if you don't give up, can you go to the island to eat? Chen Renweng listened to the buzzing of his head, he didn't expect to be delayed for so long, he thought that he would return to Hong Kong for dinner, and there was only dry food on the ship, if only let everyone eat this, it was really impossible to do it, and when he saw that he was about to arrive at his home, he sent out an invitation, although there were no good things in the camp, but it was better than the boat.

"It's okay, as long as you're full, it doesn't matter where you eat!" Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, it was difficult for him to go out, and he just went to the camp to have a look.

"Commander Chen's young man is ambitious, he should have invited everyone to drink a long time ago, and he has to prepare well today!" Everyone also coaxed, but Ying Jieyan did not say anything.

"Yes, yes, to be rewarded by His Highness and all your lords, it is also the glory of my Vanguard, and I will definitely entertain you!" Chen Renweng gave a circle salute and said with a smile.

"Commander Chen, don't let our arrival affect the training, don't welcome and send it off with great fanfare, borrow the land to have a meal and leave, there are still a few places for His Highness to see after the meal!" Ying Jieyan saw that he was smiling reluctantly, knowing that this meal made him embarrassed, and His Highness didn't like it either, so he preemptively warned. As soon as he spoke, His Royal Highness had no temper, and Chen Renweng could only nod his head and say yes......

With the strict words of the festival in advance, and the conditions on the island are indeed poor, Chen Renweng has not been able to make up a decent lunch despite his best efforts, but it is also hearty. It's just that alcohol is forbidden in the army, and although His Royal Highness is shouting at everyone, no one dares to drink, but they are all hungry, and they eat lively.

"Commander Chen, this is His Highness and our food money!" After eating, everyone was about to board the boat and leave, and Ni Liang took the bag of money and sent it to the road.

"This ...... Your Highness, isn't that right? It's just a light meal! Chen Renweng suddenly felt embarrassed, thinking that His Highness looked down on him.

"It's not just the king who pays, everyone has to pay!" Zhao Yu turned around and said, "We are eating here, presumably you will not pay, it is all from the camp salary." But if we eat more, the armies will have to eat less, yes or no? ”

"Your Highness, your subordinates are still in charge of a meal, how can you collect money from Your Highness and your lords!" was said by His Royal Highness, Chen Renweng said with a red face.

"You can take care of a meal, and you can still take care of it when someone comes every day? Ni Liang, Lord Chen is embarrassed to accept it, you come! Zhao Hao smiled, turned around and got on the boat, and suddenly turned his head and said, "If you don't have money, you can put it on first, but remember that they won't send it to the house tomorrow, you will ask for it from house to house!" ”

Everyone was even more stunned when they heard this, how could the always generous little prince care about the cost of a meal, and could only secretly sigh that the child's mind was difficult to understand...... (To be continued.) )
