The cold wind howled and the snow closed the streets, but the construction sites in the capital of Yuan were full of people, and the craftsmen who worked were like ants, surrounding the unfinished projects everywhere, constantly carrying earth, stone and wood.

Since Kublai Khan positioned Yanjing as the capital and renamed it Yuan Dadu, he has been constantly building this city for more than ten years. Liu Bingzhong, an official of Zhongshu Province, was the chief responsible for the construction of the capital, and the Arabs were also in charge of designing the new palace. Guo Shoujing served as the water supervisor of the capital, repaired the canal from Dadu to Tongzhou, and used the springs in the northwest of Beijing as the upstream water source of the Tonghui River.

Today, Kublai Khan held a banquet in the Daning Palace, rewarding Zhang Xuan, who escorted the grain from Lin'an, and 500 grain ships traveled from the Grand Canal for several months, and finally arrived at the shore of Zhuozhou, completing the first voyage of the Yuan Dynasty to the capital of the Yuan Dynasty.

In the midst of the lively banquet, a woman with a sad brow sat on the table in the corner and lowered her eyes, which was incompatible with the lively and cheerful banquet.

"My beloved Mitsuki, what troubles have clouds on your face, is it a handsome guy who stole your heart?"

The nurse, who was already old and almost unable to walk, put away the crutches in her hand, sat down next to Princess Miyue, and did not forget to tease her a few words, and only she understood the pain in Miyue's heart, which came from the mother who was a monk in the south.

"Grandma, you're making fun of me again, I'm about to die of sadness! FJ is very war-fighting, especially near Quanzhou, it has always been not so stable, I don't know ......"

"Don't think about it, although I haven't seen your mother, she must be a kind and beautiful woman to give birth to such a well-behaved little Mitsuki! She will definitely be safe, and after you get married, the big man may give you freedom, don't think about running away from marriage anymore! ”

Miyue lowered her head again and whimpered: "Grandma, I don't like it, I don't like it, how can I love each other for a lifetime, the eagles on the grassland are free to choose their partners, why can't I?" ”

"Because you are the daughter of the Great Han, the most noble princess in the world, only the great Kublai Khan can choose a husband for you, and no one else is qualified!"

"But I don't like it, I want a man I like! Is this an excessive request? Why did my mother tell me differently, she told me that I must find the love of my life, and not give up my persistence. ”

"Hey, my poor little Mitsuki, it seems that a man has seduced your heart!"

"No, grandma, you love me the most, can you bear to let me live so painfully?" Miyue threw herself into the nurse's arms and writhed coquettishly.

Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, drank a lot today, and after the opening of this waterway, it was much easier to obtain rice and grain from the south of the Yangtze River, and the food problem that had been plaguing Yuan Dadu was completely solved. Although there are many rivers that need to be renovated and refurbished, which will take a lot of time and work, they are so important for the future that the Grand Canal will soon have to be rebuilt.

"Guo Shoujing, come on, come on, have another drink with me."

Guo Shoujing, who had been in charge of the rest of the waters of the Yuan capital, immediately came over from another table and bowed his head to Kublai Khan.

"After a while, you stay, together with Zhang Xuan, let's talk about the Grand Canal, and connect Yanjing with the waters of Zhuozhou as soon as possible."

Guo Shoujing nodded after drinking, he was a famous astronomer, mathematician, and water conservancy engineering expert in the Yuan Dynasty. In his early years, he studied under Liu Bingzhong and Zhang Wenqian, and was a minister who was very relied on by Kublai Khan.

Earlier, he was responsible for dredging the water conservancy project of the Western Xia, or achieved outstanding achievements, and later was responsible for the design and construction of the moat of the Yuan capital, and this time the completion of the connection between Tongzhou and Zhuozhou Grand Canal is another great achievement that can be recorded in history.

At this time, in the Yuan and Song Wars, Kublai Khan had long thought that it was only a matter of time before it ended, and ninety percent of the territory of thousands of miles had fallen into the hands of the Yuan army, and only a small piece of Liangguang HN survived, where was it worth his trouble.

What he needs to worry about now is how to free the tribe from the nomadic state and create a more superior environment, so that the sparsely populated MGZ people can recuperate and reproduce as soon as possible. Such a prosperous river and mountain, with all their efforts and the lives of the warriors, if there is not enough population to occupy and use, then it will not be a waste of hard work.

Learning Han culture, learning Han science, appointing Han officials to control the Han people, using the surrendered Song soldiers and generals, turning his head to attack the cities of the Song Dynasty, he chose this road is very correct, and it is also the basis for the Yuan Dynasty to defeat the Song Dynasty.

A tall red-maned horse rushed past the guards' blockade and galloped southward, and the pretentious soldiers could only shout a few times, and no one dared to let go of the arrows, so they could only run back as fast as they could to report the news. Because the horse was known to everyone, it was the favorite mount of the Great Khan, and he often carried them on his back to gallop around and inspect the capital he had built.

"What? Ran again! And rode away the fire cloud? This Miyue, it's a troublemaker, she should really break her legs! ”

After Kublai Khan turned around in front of the case a few times, the anger in his heart gradually dissipated, and he knew that Mitsuki still had to go to her mother, the French beauty! The amazing woman who will always leave a shadow in his heart.

"Spread the word that Uzhda came to see me!"

Zhang Hongfan, who besieged Chaozhou, never waited for reinforcements from Guangzhou, and was very disappointed to watch the battle under the city of Chaozhou, looking at the defenders who were about to despair on the city, and gave the order to attack the city. It really only took half a day to break through the city gate, and the Yuan soldiers who poured into the city like a tide never suffered effective resistance again, and the strength of the Song army defending the city was exhausted and unable to fight again.

Eighty carriages with heavy cannons slowly passed through Chaozhou City and drove in the direction of the wharf, but they failed to deceive Guangzhou into sending troops, which disappointed him very much. After the Divine Brave Cannon was cast, Zhang Hongfan felt that he had touched the edge of becoming an official and entering the knighthood, relying on this invincible weapon, what other city could stop my army?

After capturing Chaozhou, he rested on the spot, and according to his marching plan, the next stop was Panyu Guangzhou, where hundreds of thousands of troops passed by in one trip, and then took the entire GD to make Zhang Shijie on the ship reliable on the shore.

However, a secret letter from Zhu Qing forced him to abandon the land route and wait at the Chaozhou dock for Quanzhou to send the latest warship, ready to meet Zhang Shijie from Leizhou from the sea.

At that time, the speed and quality of Pu Shou Geng's shipbuilding were the world's first-class level, and the best shipbuilding craftsmen and materials were gathered in Quanzhou. These 300 ships are the latest to build, and there have been breakthroughs in quality and speed, and they have a great advantage over Zhang Shijie's fleet, coupled with the morale of Zhang Hongfan's army and the power of eighty brave cannons, Zhang Hongfan is about to blossom.

"Set sail!"

Three hundred warships full of soldiers lifted anchor and set sail, set off from the port of Chaozhou, and sailed towards the vast sea.
