Zhu Qing, as the big leader of the pirates on Chongming Island, rebelled and returned to the Yuan Dynasty after the Song Dynasty, and was in charge of tens of thousands of naval troops after the reorganization, and Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, also looked down on the generals. Unexpectedly, he went to Quanzhou silently and alone, and the real-name worship post was handed from the concierge to the front of the case, which made Pu Shougeng cry and laugh very embarrassed. According to the current situation of the war between the two countries, if Zhu Qing arrives in Quanzhou, if he is discovered, Pu Shougeng should immediately take it and report it to Lin'an, and he can be beheaded without waiting for the holy order.

"Invite this Zhu Qing to the study for tea!"

The balance in Pu Shougeng's heart still swayed, and he did not formally meet the guests in the middle hall, but expressed his attitude to the other party in the way that a friend visited the study and tasted tea. The two of you have a heart, you have tried the conditions back and forth, but Pu Shougeng still didn't make up his mind in the end.

Although no verbal agreement was reached, Zhu Qing had already completed the most important task, and he did not seek to rebel against Pu Shougeng immediately, but only needed to determine whether he had two hearts. Soon Prime Minister Boyan will personally lead the army south to Lin'an, and Zhu Qing's sailors will also take action, if Quanzhou, which is rich in the world, fully supports Lin'an, then the war will not end quickly, and it will be stuck in a long-term stalemate.

Although Kublai Khan had been mentally prepared for a long-term war of aggression against the Song Dynasty, there had been a war that had lasted for 20 years, and a large area of territory in the Southern Song Dynasty had been occupied.

In the decades of war with the Song Dynasty, although it has always had the upper hand, the strength of the Mengyuan has always been insufficient, and it is easy to occupy the difficulties, and it is impossible to fully control the occupied land, so it can only loot and give up. After these years of preparation and countless withdrawals, Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, believed that it was necessary to reuse the surrendered generals of the Song Dynasty in order to realize the wish of stepping on the south of the Yangtze River.

With the reuse of Guo Kan, Hao Jing and Liu Quan, who later surrendered to the Yuan, as well as the surrendered general Lu Wenhuan who surrendered to the Yuan in Xiangyang, the comprehensive combat power of the Yuan Dynasty's army was constantly improving, and the surrendered generals who continued to join were also able to hold the occupied cities.

In the course of the war, the Song Dynasty had fewer and fewer cities with heavy troops, and the battle line was getting closer and closer to the capital of Lin'an, and Kublai Khan was even more anxious at this time. He was anxious to complete the great cause that his ancestor Genghis Khan had not completed, and Genghis Khan's Mongolian iron cavalry swept the world and fought all the way to Europe, and the two powerful countries of Jin and Liao had been wiped out, but the Song Dynasty was not taken.

Kublai Khan remembered the accidental death of Möngke Khan clearly, and he would never do it again until he lived to see that day. But only by taking the Imperial City of Lin'an, beheading the little emperor, and riding on Hainan Island on horseback can the great cause of reunification be truly completed.

In his opinion, as long as the Song royal family is wiped out, the resistance forces in other places are not enough to worry about, so Lin'an is the top priority, and Quanzhou, which can go north to reinforce, is the key to it.

Zhu Qing returned satisfied, Pu Shougeng's attitude towards him was not clear, and he was a little perfunctory, but between his words, he also revealed his worries about the future of the Song royal family. The most important thing here is that Pu Shougeng showed him the characteristics of a businessman, and Zhu Qing subconsciously thought that he was waiting for the price to sell, and it would be more beneficial to see if he was on that side.

As long as Pu Shougeng has a difference in his heart and no longer regards the fate of Lin'an as the only option, the reinforcements that can be given willingly will be reduced, and the army attacking Lin'an will naturally spend a lot less effort.

Under the command of Zhao Tianyou, Mengjia Yuzhai started a crazy procurement behavior, the purchase and hoarding of various raw materials, high-quality refined iron and skillful blacksmiths were also replenished, and Old Man Feng's cold face also began to have some smiles.

The transaction with Mu Chenglin was very smooth, and Zhao Tianyou instructed Zhou Yuan to make a pot of gunpowder with previous performance, and assembled eight bamboo tubes to thunder the sky and give it to Mu Chenglin. The power of these finished products has been tested, and less than one-third of the lethality of the original products is enough, but it is difficult to kill people by blowing them up.

Equipped with a new bow and arrow weapons and other materials, Zhao Tianyou's troops were ripe to send troops to Dongshan Island, and he was about to have a showdown with Mencius, but he was worried that this stubborn old man would not agree. After the discussion of the leaders of the younger generation, they adopted the strategy of saving the country by curves, first sending troops to take Dongshan Island, and then deciding the next step according to the actual situation.

It was a cloudless morning, and 12 fishing boats that had been simply remodeled, carrying more than 200 soldiers, set sail towards Dongshan Island. Stand on the bow of the head of the ship. Zhao Tianyou was dressed in a military uniform, with a three-stone longbow on his back, and two pots full of arrows hanging on his waist.

Facing the red sun rising in the east, behind Zhao Tianyou stood the heroic Meng Shuirou and sixteen longbowmen. After the last time the two rode together, I don't know how to change her temperament, Meng Shuirou cut off her long hair and changed into men's clothes.

"Shui Rou, do you know what it is to drive all the way towards the place where the sun rises?"

Meng Shuirou's face was red from the sun, raised her hand to support the short hairtips in front of her, squinted her eyes and said, "I don't know, but God bless Big Brother, if you give an order, I will rush up even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and kill him seven in and seven out." ”

"The water is soft! Full of heroism, if I become a marshal, I will definitely make you a general! ”

"It's a deal! It's hard to chase a horse! Meng Shuirou looked at Zhao Tianyou sideways, and deliberately looked at him with a very serious face.

"How many soldiers and horses can this general manage?"

"This ......" Zhao Tianyou was stuck, and just said it casually, who would have thought that Meng Shuirou would ask seriously, how can we fool a girl if we want to be marshals in the future.

"More than 10,000 soldiers and horses, can you manage it? With so many people around you, would you be afraid? ”

Meng Shuirou glanced at Zhao Tianyou and said, "I thought that how big a general he was, he only gave me 10,000 horses, it's too stingy!" ”

"Thirty thousand and thirty thousand, I'm not afraid that you won't be able to manage it!" Zhao Tianyou was a little weak after speaking, and swallowed and foamed.

How do you know that Meng Shuirou twisted her neck and said: "30,000 is not enough, I want to be a general who can be pointed at by the blade, and 100,000 iron horsemen are silent!" ”

The sixteen longbowmen behind them all blushed, but fortunately they couldn't see it in the face of the sun, so they turned their heads with a smile and opened their mouths wide to the sea and laughed silently. Good guys, these two bosses really dare to say that one mouth is 10,000 soldiers and 30,000 soldiers and horses, as if they are blowing. What's even more powerful is that their captain is the eldest sister, and he is determined to be a general who commands 100,000 troops, which is really a joke.

"There's a ship ahead, prepare for war!"
