After Ali Hague issued a series of orders one after another, he stepped back left and right and boarded the deck of the handsome ship alone to look at the starry night sky, then at the brightly lit shore, and then at the calm sea, his heart was full of melancholy and helplessness. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He knew better than anyone about the situation and knew what the outcome of this battle would be, but he had to do so.

At the same time, he sent troops to occupy the city and Qiongzhou, and even conquered Annan, in fact, Ali Hague did not approve of it in his heart. Because he knew that although Jiangnan had been pacified, it was not calm, and uprisings under the banner of the Song Dynasty were rising one after another, and the most urgent thing at the moment should be to appease the people, restore production, and quell civil strife, rather than rushing to use troops everywhere.

As for Qiongzhou, Ali Hague thought that he should appease the mainland, and at the same time blockade the coast to prevent them from plundering the interior, and then warned Champa and Annam not to provide supplies to Qiongzhou. And Qiongzhou is so narrow that it can't afford to support hundreds of thousands of people, let alone raise troops and prepare for military equipment, so it won't take years to trap them to death. Even if it doesn't surrender, it won't take much effort to use troops again.

However, Kublai Khan rejected Ali Hague's suggestion and insisted that the matter of Annam and Qiongzhou should be resolved by force as soon as possible. Later, he was crowned the king of Zhennan, presiding over the affairs of Huguang Province and conquering the southern provinces. Ali Hague no matter how stupid he is, understands what is going on, Huan Tu is Kublai Khan's beloved son, and this arrangement is to pass on the throne to him. However, the Mongols are the most important military merit, and if they do not have military merit, even if they are passed on to him, it will cause the kings to be dissatisfied. Therefore, Ali Hague knows that this is a political battle, and as Zuo Cheng of Huguang Province, he must not only calculate economic and military accounts, but also political accounts.

In this way, Ali Hague was forced to a dead end, the establishment of the prince is a major matter of the country, even if 10,000 do not want him, he must resolutely implement the will of the Great Khan, this Qiongzhou must be beaten, and if it is not fought, it must be fought. In desperation, he could only swallow this bowl of raw rice, and he was completely at a disadvantage, and he didn't understand the reality of being in a dead place. But if he withdraws his army, it will not only be his own defeat, but also the defeat of the king of Zhennan, so even if the whole army is destroyed, he will persevere, and then take the blame on himself, he will be a wicked person and take it out.

Ali Hague understands that the emperor is angry and ambushes thousands of miles, in order to establish an heir, the Great Khan will not care about these losses, as for the fact that he is deeply valued by the Great Khan, but it is only a tool in his hands, or killing or pardoning is in his thoughts, not something he can figure out. But if he wants to withdraw his troops back, it will definitely be a dead end, even if it is to keep Liangguang and curb the growth of Qiongzhou, but he destroys an heir, then it is unforgivable in every aspect. And these generals who are still fighting to the death on the beachhead, including himself, are just stepping stones for the new monarch to ascend to the throne......

Zhao Yu is also settling accounts at this time, he is the king of a country, not only to calculate political accounts, but also to calculate economic accounts. Not to mention that the officers and men participating in the battle had to be paid double salaries, and the food expenses were doubled, and the officers and soldiers who died in battle needed to be paid money for compensation, the wounded officers and soldiers had to be treated, and the disabled had to be raised.

And after the war, there are rewards for merit, and promotions need money to deal with the aftermath.

In modern times, there is a saying that 'when a cannon goes off, gold is 10,000 taels,' and the US imperialists threw dozens of missiles in order to let out a sigh of relief, but more than 50 million US knives were turned into ashes, which is equivalent to the total financial income of a medium-sized county in China for a year. The rockets, flowering shells, and arrows in this battle were all counted in tens of thousands, and the damaged warships, armor, and weapons had to be repaired and maintained, and the money spent was like throwing them out, and which captures were far from enough to make up for their own efforts. Of course, politically speaking, the victory in this battle can make Zhao Hao's position more stable, and of course, Qiongzhou can also maintain peace for a few years, which can be said to be the biggest victory, and it is worth spending the money.

If Zhao Hao's original wish was just to be able to hold Qiongzhou, and not to let people chase dogs without even a nest, then although the battle is not over now, according to his judgment, the victory and defeat have been divided, and since the bottom line has been satisfied, his mind will be alive again, and he wants to get greater benefits from the total. Politically, let his prestige spread far and wide, so that the remnants of the Great Song Dynasty knew that their emperor was still alive and the regime was still there, and they hurried to defect; Economically speaking, although Guangxi is not very rich, the government and those upstarts of the Yuan Dynasty are rich, and copying their homes is equivalent to fighting local tyrants!

But now the problem is that these ministers don't support Zhao Hao's proposal very much, and they can't do it alone. But the opportunity is rare, and I don't know when I will be able to meet it again. And how can he convince these people to make him worried, so what to do? He pondered for a long time, and suddenly thought that since there are only a few people who support him now, it may be different to expand this scope again.

"Your Majesty, there seems to be a civil strife among the enemy troops on the opposite side of the rear army's defense, they kill each other, someone runs to the front of the battle, please open the gate of the village, Han and Zhuang, the two commanders have a dispute over this, Zhang Shushuai does not dare to call the shots, please Your Majesty decide!" At this time, a guard entered the house and said.

"Who came to surrender, and how many?" Zhao Yu asked anxiously after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, they claim to be the Han army that signed the conscription, about thousands, and there are some surrendered troops among them." The guard turned.

"There are so many people!" Zhao Yu said with some surprise.

"It is precisely because of the large number of people that Commander Han is worried about the enemy's deception, and Commander Zhuang thinks that he will be killed by the enemy army if it is too late, so there is a dispute between them!" The guard said.

"Go and bring in the messenger!" Zhao Hao thought about how to judge whether it was true or false because he was not a party or an eyewitness, but they stuffed this tricky matter into their own hands, and they really thought they were immortals. But he's still happy, at least they respect themselves.

After a while, the people who came to deliver the letter were brought in, and according to them, the Yuan army was repulsed several times in a row, and the casualties were heavy, and then another Yuan army came to attack, but they suddenly threw away their weapons with white flags, shouting that they were southerners and wanted to surrender. Then the Yuan army sent troops to pursue, the two sides broke out a fierce conflict, with more and more people stirring in, they were also confused, but raised the vigilance and did not attack, so the people who fled to the front of the village are more and more, and they do not know how to deal with it.

"Order them to open the gate of the village and enter the village, but they must be vigilant, in addition to throwing their personal weapons outside the village, they must enter the village one by one in a team of 100 people, and then open a passage to quickly guide them to the outside of the village, and I will send troops to meet the constraints!" Zhao Yu thought for a while and said.

"Your Majesty, isn't this too risky, if there is fraud, wouldn't it be a mistake!" Lu Xiufu listened cautiously.

"Nope! If it's too late, they'll be killed, so tell them to go! Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, asking people to hurry up and give orders.

"Your Majesty, isn't this too hasty!" Lu Xiufu saw that His Majesty did not allow him to say anything, so he ordered to contain the so-called surrendered army, and he was very dissatisfied, of course, people are cultivated, and they did not hang it on their faces.

"Zuo Xiang, the fighter plane is fleeting, now that the Yuan army has been defeated, you can't hesitate any longer, I think it's time to start a counterattack." Zhao Yu didn't explain too much to him, and said lightly.

"Fight back?!" Lu Xiufu said with some surprise.

"Yes, the enemy's repeated attacks have failed, and the morale of the army has become unstable, and the reason for the defeat of the army is clear to me." Zhao Yu said.

"Your Majesty, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, although the enemy army has suffered heavy losses, but its strength is still there, you must be careful that they will eat back!" Lu Xiufu said.

"Hehe, of course I know the truth that the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, but as long as we completely defeat their water army, those enemy troops trapped on the shore will not be able to advance or retreat, and they will not get a drop of water, and they may have no strength to bite me!" Zhao Hao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is right, as long as the enemy ship is destroyed, the Yuan army will inevitably be in turmoil, and the soldiers will have no fighting spirit!" Chen Zhongwei nodded approvingly.

"Yes, the Tartars have always regarded the signing army as a mustard, and every major battle must be the precursor, and the casualties are also the heaviest, and it is common sense for them to rebel. And those who surrendered to the army are afraid that they have different aspirations, and they will not fight when they are at the moment of life and death. Xu Zongren also agreed with the emperor.

"The minister thinks that what Zuo Xiang said is not unreasonable, Your Majesty should be cautious, you must know that Ali Hague is also a general who can recruit and fight, and must not be reckless." Ying Jie Yan stroked his beard and said.

"Well, what Mr. taught me is that then we will first order the navy to launch an attack and cut off their back road first, what does Zuo Xiang think?" Zhao Yu nodded, he knew that the old man's mind was not to embarrass Lu Xiufu too much, so he asked for his opinion.

"Your Majesty thinks that it is more safe to order the naval army to attack, and let the enemy army chaos first!" Lu Xiufu accepted this conservative opinion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think that the situation is now clear, and the enemy army has pressed all its forces to Haikou. For the sake of insurance, it is not necessary to transfer all troops to the north to prevent the enemy from counterattacking, so as to ensure that the capital city is foolproof. Zhao Yu knew that Lu Xiufu was cautious, especially after taking power, and he tended to be more conservative, so he could only talk about some strategies.

"The current situation has proved that His Majesty's initial judgment was correct, I thought that the forbidden army in Yazhou could be transferred north, what does the left minister think?" Ying Jie said sternly.

"Now that the situation is clear, I think it's okay." Lu Xiufu pondered for a moment.

"Okay, order the right minister to immediately lead the three armies of the forbidden army in front of the palace from Wan'an to Qiongzhou Mansion City!" Zhao Yu said, "Tell the commander to light a beacon fire and order the navy to attack and encircle and annihilate the enemy's navy." ”……

The Song army did not wait for dawn, let alone the high tide, and the navy launched a full-scale attack. The battle reached dawn, Chen Yi led the navy could not resist, the Qiongzhou navy killed the transport fleet, these ships were full of supplies and soldiers who had not yet landed on the island, although they still had the ability to resist, but the Song army did not fight with them at all, rockets, ballistas, bombardment in turn, dragon ships interspersed with assaults, were sunk, wounded more than 100 ships.

Although Ali Hague tried his best to maintain the formation so as not to endanger the landing force, the scattered ships instead scattered them and broke them into pieces. Seeing that the general trend had gone, Chen Yi commanded more than a dozen warships to forcibly break through a gap and escort Ali Hague's ship to the west. As soon as the handsome ship moved, the rest of the warships also broke through to the west, and suddenly the sea was in chaos.

Liu Zhu ordered Dong Yicheng to lead the Chengmai navy to pursue the ship of Ali Hague, and the remaining two naval armies surrounded and annihilated the rest of the enemy ships. He ordered the ships to salvage the drowning enemy soldiers, and at the same time began to support the infantry in the battle, launching a heavy artillery bombardment of the enemy troops gathered on the beach.

The Yuan army on the west bank became a sandwich at this moment, and was bombarded by the navy and ran towards the beachhead, but the Song army guarding the barrier was not polite as soon as they were already in range. And their only way out is to capture the Song army walled city, gain a foothold and wait for reinforcements, otherwise they can only feed the fish and turtles if they lose their way out. In order to get out of the predicament, he personally led the troops to attack, but as soon as he rushed to the bottom of the sand embankment, he was blown to pieces by more than a dozen grenades thrown down.

Ali Hague 'fled', the main general was killed, and the Yuan army, which was already extremely demoralized, could no longer be maintained, and the soldiers began to flee. Qi Rongzu led his own soldiers to try to stop him, but was killed by the rebels. At this time, the Song army went out of the village to counterattack, and the Yuan army, which had suffered a heavy blow, was no longer as fierce as it had been, and it was difficult to prevent it from fleeing westward by the chaotic soldiers......

Baisha Island is now relatively stable, and the Song army gave them the highest courtesy, but they either sank or captured the warships that brought them ashore, and did not fire a single shot on the island. Oruchi, of course, understood his situation, and ordered his soldiers to build a simple walled city out of the planks of the stranded or destroyed ships and the corpses of the dead, ready to defend against the enemy. However, the situation on the island is not good, and after a day's battle, more than 10,000 people have been killed or wounded, and the morale of the 20,000 troops and 20,000 soldiers on the island has been killed and wounded.

Now that the sky is dawn and the sun is rising, there is not even a tree on the island, so it can only dry and dry. It doesn't hurt to be in the sun, and it can also replenish calcium, but the problem is that the stomach is empty and the mouth is dry! Oulu watched the hungry soldiers sit or lie on the muddy ground and look blankly at the sea, as if hoping that his own ships would appear and take them away, and the worst thing was that the wounded soldiers were wailing in pain, but no one could help them, and they could only watch them take their last breath.

"What's going on over there?" Oluchi suddenly heard a commotion in the south of the island, and he hurriedly asked.

"Deputy marshal, the tide is rising, and those She soldiers in the south of the island want to go to the island, but how to put down such a little place, there is a dispute!" A pro-soldier said.

"Alas......" Oruchi watched as the water rose upward, mixed with the corpses of the dead and the broken planks of the ships being pushed against the island, the rolling waves were full of scarlet foam, the island seemed to shrink, and the half-dried rivers and streams were soon overgrown with water. What could he do about it, sighing and shaking his head, he walked away.
