Zhao Yu finally got the scholars in a hurry, announced the implementation of the policy of civil and military equality at the court meeting of the fourth year of Xiangxing, and asked to organize a township examination immediately after the first month to prepare for the opening of the department, and he finally agreed to hold a spring lecture at the opening feast.

After the opening of the government after the opening of the government, Jiang Xuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, asked the performance to open a naval training camp on Puhaitian Island, Haikou, to train grassroots officers and non-commissioned officers of the naval army; In addition, grassroots officers from various divisions were invited to be transferred to the new barracks for rotational training to study the new regulations, and at the same time, a training base for recruits was built in Yashan. Xu Zongren of the Ministry of Rites asked for the township examination to be held in each prefecture on February 15, the prefectural examination in May, and the ministerial examination in October. Everyone is so motivated, Zhao Yu and the provincial hall of Zhongshu will discuss it, and they will all prepare immediately.

Lu Xiufu and Wen Tianxiang also jointly asked for a performance in the hope of adding some idle soldiers to the army to serve as staff and officials, Zhao Yu of course knew the thoughts of the two, and wanted to use this opportunity to infiltrate the army so that he could control the military and politics. He was happy to add some intellectuals to the army, and of course he did. However, there is also an additional condition, that is, these soldiers must enter the new army training camp to pass six months of basic training, and receive a six-month period of professional training in the army, and pass the examination before they can be hired.

It was already March after dealing with these matters, and Zhao Yu held several meetings to discuss this year's policy of administration, and he thought that this year's war would tend to calm down, and the Xing Dynasty should seize this rare opportunity to lay a solid foundation, strengthen agricultural production, and strive for a surplus in the case of grain self-sufficiency; In addition, we will intensify efforts to attract investment, take advantage of the advantages of Qiongzhou facing the sea to attract mainland and Tibetan merchants to trade in Qiongzhou, and increase the income from tariffs; Then there is the expansion of military production, especially the production of firearms, so as to meet the needs of the armed forces for re-equipping.

After several revisions, the phalanx was finally determined, but everyone still had doubts, who could guarantee that the Tartars would not commit Qiongzhou again? However, Zhao Yu is indeed full of confidence, he knows that Kublai Khan's life will not be easy this year, if he does not take the initiative to provoke trouble, there will be no major war within three years, so that he can get a rare period of development and layout.

At present, Chen Hangyan's cottage has been encircled and suppressed by the Yuan army and with the cooperation of Huang Hua, fifteen villages have been broken in a row, with more than 20,000 casualties, forcing it to shrink its defense and move to the mountains to defend it, but there are still 100,000 troops. The Yuan army adopted a step-by-step approach to gradually shrink the encirclement and continued to focus on clearing and suppressing, but Zhao Yu knew that it would not be easy for the Yuan army to achieve a complete victory, and it would be able to contain them for at least two or three years, and at that time he had established a solid base in the Fujian and Guangzhou areas.

In addition, in order to alleviate the pressure in Qiongzhou, Zhao Hao's anti-intermediation plan implemented by using Liumengyan has also worked. Last year, Du and Liu Shen were ordered to attack Zhancheng, and it can be said that the two fought quite smoothly at the beginning. In the face of the 200,000 troops of the city, he was not afraid of the disparity in the strength of the two sides, and personally led the death squad to fight and charge, and soon defeated the army of the city, killing and drowning more than 50,000 soldiers of the opposing side. The two armies fought again at Dalang Lake, and the Zhancheng army was defeated again, beheading 60,000 people, and suffered heavy losses, and the Yuan army took advantage of the victory to capture the capital of Buddha

The royal family of Champa fled into the deep mountains and dense forests of the Western Plains region, relying on the favorable mountainous terrain to carry out mountain guerrilla warfare. The instigation was repeatedly calculated by the delaying tactics of the occupation of the city, and when fighting in the mountains and forests, he constantly suffered losses and hit a wall, and had no choice but to retreat to the harbor. Although the war did not go well, the instigation of Du and Liu Cheng still followed Kublai Khan's instructions to build the Buddha's death into a base for further management of overseas countries, and then instigated Du to be appointed as the governor of Champa Province, so he built a wooden fence as a garrison for Champa Province, and let the soldiers cultivate the fields to solve the supply of military food, and prepare for long-term business here.

Cham and Vietnam were originally feuded, but when they were jointly faced with the military threat of the Mongol Yuan, Cham and Vietnam temporarily turned enemies into friends, showing a certain intention to form an alliance against the Yuan. The two sides held a high-level meeting to discuss how to deal with the increasingly severe relations between the Vietnamese and the Yuan, and "discuss the strategy of attacking and defending the key points", and the Chen Dynasty monarchs and ministers made a decision to secretly send 200 warships to Champa to support its anti-Yuan struggle, and the two nations had to fight together when facing the crisis of aggression of the Yuan Empire.

Kublai Khan soon learned that the Zhan people refused to surrender, and heard that the secret communication between the two countries was extremely bright, so he sent Ezhou Lu Daru Huachi Zhao Zhu to Annam, on the grounds that the Yuan army went out to occupy the city, "told Annan to help the army to provide food", Chen Huang, the emperor of Chen, on the pretext of the small country and the poor people, and the lack of food, only promised to provide a small amount of grain and grass supply in Yong'an Prefecture on the border.

At this time, the Song army of the northern expedition 'retreated', and the king of Zhennan Huan was defeated, although Ali Hague took the blame for it, but still faced the danger of falling out of favor, in order to show his ability, he took the initiative to ask to go to Annan to obtain Kublai Khan's approval. Just as he was mobilizing his troops and horses, he was detected by Annan's spies. With war on the verge of breaking out, the Thang Long court stepped up its two-faced approach. In August, Chen Guojun gathered the princely armies of the Chen clan from all walks of life, paraded troops at Dongbutou, and decided to divide troops to guard the key points everywhere. In November, Emperor Chen Shengzong sent doctors Chen Fu and Chen Jun to Jinghu to occupy the province and ask for a delay, but the officials of the Yuan Dynasty did not allow it.

In December, Chen Fu returned to Hanoi and reported to the Tran monarch that the Yuan Dynasty's King Zhennan and others were bent on crossing the border under the pretense of conquering the city. The Chen family sent two groups of envoys again, among which Duan Yan and Li Gui went directly to Beijing to pay tribute, pleaded to the Yuan Shizu court, and begged the Yuan court to protect the Vietnamese lives from being destroyed, but at this time, Huan Tu led the army and was irretrievable, and Duan Yan and Li Gui were left hostage in Dadu.

The Yuan army divided into two teams and marched towards the border of Vietnam, and the western route was led by Wanhu Polo Hadar and others, pointing in the direction of Qiu Kyu Ling; The Yuan army on the east side of the road was the main force, with Li Bangxian of Wanhu as the vanguard, and the king of Zhennan, Tuhuan, personally commanded the rear army, pointing to the direction of Keli Pass. Up to this point, the Yuan army had been under the guise of transiting Vietnam to conquer the Champa, and it was not yet possible to conclude whether the Chen dynasty would resist the "official army".

However, Huan Tuo soon understood that the Yuan army was attacked by the Yue army everywhere, and could only forcibly seize the road and pass by force, and the second war between the Yuan Dynasty and the Great Yue Empire broke out. On the ninth day of the first month, the Yuan and Vietnamese armies launched a fierce battle across the Red River, after the Red River defense line was broken, Thang Long City had no danger to defend, fortunately, the king of Annam had been prepared for this, and the two of them relied on the escape experience accumulated in the first anti-Mongolian war, and the action was swift, and soon evacuated the court, warehouse, and people in the capital, leaving an empty city to the invaders, and at the same time changed tactics and started a guerrilla war with the Yuan army.

Although the Yuan army defeated the Vietnamese army several times and captured Hanoi, the overall situation of the war was not optimistic. Since the war of the Mongol and Yuan armies against the Song Dynasty, the number of Han soldiers in the army has increased day by day, so much so that they far surpassed the Mongol soldiers and became the main force of the Yuan army. The Han army has always attached importance to supplies and relied on grain and straw in its operations, and this time the Yuan army entered Vietnam, it could only change the method of driving straight into Vietnam in the past, and could only adopt the method of stabilizing the rear step by step, from Yongping to Hanoi, setting up military villages and post stations all over the country, and sending troops to garrison them.

However, this practice increased the contradiction between the concentration and dispersion of the Yuan army, and limited the operational characteristics of the Yuan army's rapid mobility. Although the Yuan army defeated the heavy Vietnamese army twice at Wan Tribulation and Honghe, it was a defeat battle rather than a war of annihilation, and most of the Vietnamese soldiers escaped from the battlefield, and these remnants of the defeated soldiers regrouped and soon became a huge threat to the Yuan army.

Huan Tu and the generals believed that it was necessary to intensify the war and force the Chen court to submit, and it was best to capture the Chen monarch so that the war could be successfully ended. So Tuhuan ordered Wanhu Polo Hadar to lead the water infantry army, Zuo Cheng Li Heng, Wu Ma'er and others to lead the water army to pursue the fleeing Chen Wang, and at the same time sent an order to Yunnan Pingzhang Na Su Din, ordering him to unify the troops and horses of the headquarters into Vietnam to participate in the war, and also notified the great Zhan Po to be stationed and instigated the capital to raise troops to the north, planning to carry out a north-south attack on the Chen family's court......

Although Zhao Yu could not grasp the details, he still learned the general situation of the battle between the two sides through the secretariat, and many of them were brought back by the soldiers and civilians who fled to Zhancheng with Chen Yizhong. Although they assisted in resisting the invasion of the Yuan army and paid sacrifices, they were still regarded as inferior and cannon fodder by the occupants. Seeing that Champa was losing and retreating, they also realized that Champa could not stay any longer, so many people managed to get to Qiongzhou.

For these returnees, Zhao Yu did not settle accounts after the autumn, but properly resettled, of course, if he wants to be an official, he has to go through the test. But from the news they brought back that the capital went north, he knew that this had become a key point in the turning point of the war. Zhao Hao thought that the strategy of the Yuan army was still right before this, and the Yuan army always maintained the initiative of the war, whether it was seeking to annihilate the main force of the enemy army, or attempting to capture the second emperor of the Chen family, it was in line with the quick battle and beheading tactics in modern warfare.

However, the Yuan army still despised the role of guerrilla warfare, and the helpless Chen Dynasty, from the emperor down to the small soldiers, seemed to be familiar with all kinds of escape techniques. The Mongols had never seen this kind of tactic, like an angry lion, looking left and right, but could not find a target, and fell into the same predicament as the American imperialists, especially under the conditions of underdeveloped science and technology in ancient times.

In addition, the Yuan army was falling into a food shortage that it was trapped in. Although the Yuan army deliberately set up a special line for transporting grain from Yongping to Thang Long, the supply line was paralyzed due to poor supply and turnover, coupled with the attack and sabotage of the guerrillas. In addition, from the mountainous areas to the plains, from the Red River Plain to the Thanh Hoa-Nghe An area, the walls were cleared everywhere, cutting off the enemy's source of food and falling into internal and external difficulties.

No matter how happy it is, it is still too tender, and I only think about taking the city of Champam and making contributions to Annam as soon as possible, but I don't think about the climate. After April, the rainy season will enter the humid and hot season, and the Mongolians feel that the summer in Beijing can not stand the heat, and they have to run to Helin to escape the heat, thinking about fighting in this breathless sauna day, and the harsh environment is always wearing down their will to fight. In addition, they have to face an unfamiliar rainforest environment, where mosquitoes, poisonous snakes, and hot and humid miasma can kill them at any time.

Therefore, Zhao Hao concluded that it was a great luck that these people could get out of Annan alive, and the victory was purely extravagant. However, Zhao Yu hoped that they would continue to fight, because this war was a bottomless pit, and the US imperialists were exhausted with all the money they had, and the fiscal deficit soared, so they had to take the initiative to withdraw from Vietnam. And the Mongols are not as prosperous as before, and Kublai Khan is also worried about money.

How could Zhao Hao know? Of course, in addition to his large-scale trafficking of illicit salt and the manufacture of counterfeit money to disrupt the economic order in Jiangnan, there is also news that makes him sure that Kublai Khan is short of money. Since the beginning of the year, news has come that Kublai Khan issued an edict to Goryeo, Ganzhou, Quanzhou and other shipyards to build thousands of warships, and requisitioned a large number of new annexed troops in the south of the Yangtze River. Troops were recruited from all over China, Mongolia, and Goryeo to the coastal areas for training in landing operations, and the expeditionary force's food supplies were also continuously collected from all parts of the country, while shipyards in Goryeo and the southeastern coast of China were also working day and night to build warships and troop carriers.

After learning the news, the ministers of the Xing Dynasty were very worried, worried that Kublai Khan would conquer Qiongzhou again, the reason was obvious, there was no overseas land except Qiongzhou, and in the past two years, they had suffered countless casualties in the expedition to Qiongzhou, and they would definitely send troops to retaliate with their temperament, and they would destroy it quickly. The reason why Zhao Hao was not in a hurry was because he calculated that the time was almost up, and Kublai Khan's large-scale construction of warships should be for the second attack on Japan. Although he has changed the direction of history now, he still firmly believes that it will not be against him, for two reasons:

First, Kublai Khan's insistence on controlling Japan was to show that he was the co-ruler of the world and his majesty. After the end of the first war of aggression against Japan, he believed that the Japanese had learned the power of the Mongols, so he sent an envoy to Japan again to demand submission, but the Japanese simply beheaded the Mongol envoy. Kublai Khan naturally did not swallow his anger, and after pacifying Jiangnan, he began to prepare for a second invasion at sea.

Second, Kublai Khan had many more practical considerations. Although the Mongol Khan was wealthy, the Mongol Empire's finances were often stretched thin due to the Mongol nobility's strong demand for luxury goods and the Mongols' clumsy financial management. The two great khans before Kublai Khan, Guiyou and Möngke, were both known for their profligacy, paying for luxury goods mainly with precious metals, and even pledging some of their outstanding debts against future booty.

Kublai Khan and Ali Buge fought fiercely for the throne for the throne for four years, and this unprofitable civil war between the Mongols naturally further deteriorated the financial situation of the Mongol Empire. Japan has been the world's largest producer and exporter of silver for centuries, and the wealthy island nation is undoubtedly a fat piece in the eyes of the Mongol aristocracy, who are in desperate need of hard currency. The land of Qiongzhou has always been known for its barbarism, and the poor jingle sounded, and he thought that it would not be of much benefit to him if it was destroyed.

Therefore, since Zhao Yu can guess the beginning, he can naturally predict the ending, and after the defeat, Meng Yuan still has to guard against the north, so he is naturally unable to conquer Qiongzhou, so that he can get a few years of stable life......
