Chapter 256: The Wood in the Meditation Nunnery

Needless to say, the economic status of Quanzhou is clear in Zhao Tianyou's heart, the formation of such a huge scale of trade is indeed the credit of the Pu family for many years, but now it is time to change history.

If it weren't for Wei October to mention it, Zhao Tianyou would definitely not have started the idea of Quanzhou, there are still more than 200,000 yuan of troops outside Guangzhou, and the supply of artillery shells has been restricted, so he still has the mind to open up another battlefield to distract his energy.

There were three or four side dishes on a square wooden table, Wen Tianxiang and Zhao Tianyou drank relatively well, Zhao Tianyou told Wei Yue about the situation, and Wen Tianxiang was also very interested.

"The funds consumed by the Lin'an Imperial Court, Quanzhou needed to supply seventy percent at the most serious time, and later there were ministers in the court who went to Pu Shou Geng, but they didn't move him, and the officials above the second grade, who didn't accept the silver he sent? Even the officials who participated in him were not because they felt that the money given to him was less.

Later, the imperial court didn't bother to care about how much tax burden Quanzhou could collect, anyway, every year when there was a shortage of money, Pu Shougeng would find a way, if someone else was replaced as this official, it really couldn't reassure the court.

How much money can be made from Quanzhou's trade, only Pu Shougeng knows in his heart, Kublai Khan promised not to move Pu Shougeng for thirty years, otherwise he would not make a big move at this time and find an excuse to kill those disobedient trading houses. ”

"Thirty years of not moving, hehe, it's easy to say, does he Pu Shougeng have thirty years of good luck?"

Wen Tianxiang took a bite of the dish, put down the chopsticks and said: "Guangzhou has won two big victories in a row, the news will slowly spread to all places, the population of Mengyuan is only one million, how to rule the tens of millions of people and cities in the Great Song Dynasty?"

The first is to kill, killing the Song people so cold that they dare not resist, the people immediately fled when they heard the attack of the Yuan soldiers, and after being caught, they would only beg for mercy and beg for life, and did not dare to fight to the death with their lives. The second is to reuse the surrender of troops and generals, so that the Han people can kill the Han people, which can not only reduce their Mongol casualties, but also subdue some of the wronged generals of the Song army.

Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains collapsed, thousands of miles of land fell, Kublai Khan only had this piece of land left to confiscate, otherwise how could the Yuan soldiers send Boyan to Guangzhou to personally supervise the battle, the 400,000 cavalry who came here is the foundation of Meng Yuan, not the Han army led by Zhang Hongfan, Li Heng and others can compare.

We only need to insist in Guangzhou to contain the most elite Yuan army, and the anti-Yuan forces in other places have never given up resistance. Even some officials who surrendered did so out of necessity, in order to save the lives of the people around them, and then waited for an opportunity to move.

The longer Guangzhou persists, the greater the results of the war, the more fully prepared the resistance forces in various places will be, and those duplicitous factions who are not strong-willed will not dare to curry favor with the Yuan soldiers, and will leave a way back for themselves. ”

Zhao Tianyou said with a smile: "If we take Quanzhou, will more people in the world respond, let us start the prelude to the counterattack on Mengyuan?" ”

"We have been defeated for more than ten years in a row, why are many Song people so bold? It is because you can't win a fight, the final result is always losing, and the fate of losing the country is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so many people reduce their yuan. ”

"In that case, I'll have to hurry up and plan it."

Sanlipo outside the west city of Quanzhou, the incense in the meditation nunnery is extremely cold, there is almost no one outside the mountain gate, there are only a few old nuns in Tsing Yi on the main hall, sitting on the side and chanting the Buddha in a low voice. For the first time, Pu Shougeng slaughtered the Song clan relatives everywhere in Quanzhou because he wanted to surrender, the second time he wanted to reshuffle the commercial system of Quanzhou, and another large-scale massacre of Han merchants, with funerals everywhere, and even French-style monks were in demand.

In the small courtyard in the middle of the mountain, Miyue's mother, Mrs. Jingchen from France, was sitting quietly at the table with her head bowed, silently reciting Buddhist scriptures in her mouth. Opposite her sat a lean bald man, with his hands on the table and fiddling with a knife in his hand, it was Mu Chenglin, who had not heard from her for a long time.

"Come with me, Pu Shougeng kills people so indiscriminately, Quanzhou will definitely be in chaos, I don't know when it will affect Jingxin Nunnery, you still ......"

Jingchen stopped chanting, opened a pair of blue eyes, and said with a smile: "Chenglin, you have been saying this for more than ten years, and you still haven't changed it, why should I go with you?" ”

Lin Chenglin's old face suddenly flushed, and Nuo Nuo whispered: "That's it, just follow me, I will find a safe, secluded and beautiful place, and then build a meditation nunnery for you." ”

"What's the difference? I've been a monk for so many years, and you still don't understand what you mean, so why bother yourself like this? I know in my heart how much effort and price you have paid to build this meditation nunnery, so wouldn't it be good for me to die here? Why bother running around. ”

Mu Chenglin was like a teenager who had done something wrong at this time, his face was red and his words were incoherent, and he couldn't say complete words to deal with it, just staring at Jingchen with good eyes, and showing a cheerful smile from time to time.

"Hey, last time it was because of the child Miyue, you were afraid that it would be unsafe to attract Yuan people, and you had to move to the mountains for business, but this time you came back from Fuzhou and won't leave, doesn't Zhao Tianyou need you there?"

Mu Chenglin shook his head and said: "The last time I encountered a mutiny in Fuzhou, there was chaos in the camp of the water division, and the army of the Yuan Dynasty began to kill people indiscriminately, and I almost lost my life in Huangquan. After escaping the catastrophe, I am very afraid and worried, afraid that I will never see your eyes again, and I am afraid that who will take care of you after I die. ”

Jingchen's fair face flashed with a flush, as if it had been coated with a layer of rouge, and his blue eyes were affectionate like water, looking straight at the lean Mu Chenglin, and the eyes of the two were intertwined and relatively speechless. Although Jingchen has been a monk for many years, there are special reasons for her to close her emotions, but Mu Chenglin has been infatuated with her for so many years, how can she not feel it.

Officials in Chenzhou, Ganzhou, Yongzhou, Ji'an, and other prefectures and counties all received orders from Boyan to collect iron tools and giant trees. For a while, the people in these places suffered, and the farm tools at home were confiscated, even the kitchen knives for cooking, and several families had to share one to cook vegetables.

The workshop set up by Dong Wenbing in Quanzhou has been moved to Qingyuan in a hurry, not only the gunpowder workshop, but also the blacksmiths who used to cast cannons have also been gathered together to jointly study the cannons of the Song army in Guangzhou, analyze the characteristics and functions little by little, and prepare to start imitation in Qingyuan.

Boyan's determination to prepare for a long-term battle was fully revealed, and he knew very well the consequences of not being able to take Guangzhou, which would not only affect the battle situation in Guangzhou. Once the cavalry of the Yuan army won a decisive victory for thousands of miles, and the prestige of the invincible battle was lost, those surrendered Song troops and surrendered generals, can they still defend themselves and obey the dispatch?
