Zhang Zhensun gathered the rout troops in the north in the area of Panyu and Guangzhou, mainly in Hunan and Hubei, and the original local army in the two Guangzhous, with a total of nearly 30,000 people. There are also countless civilians involved in logistical support, and it is not too bad to be able to confront the Yuan soldiers for a long time.

Like the reason why the Song army was defeated and retreated on the battlefield, Guangzhou City was also passively beaten, and there was no way to destroy the enemy. The Yuan soldiers were flexible and mobile, and the grassroots organizations were closely connected and could advance and retreat freely, and even if the Yuan soldiers retreated in the face of setbacks, they could not lose many men and horses, but they could immediately enter the battle after a little rest.

Relying on a set of flexible tactics, the Mongolian cavalry was invincible in Europe, and Europe gathered the ironclad heavy cavalry composed of several countries to set up a decisive battle with the invading Mongolian cavalry. Passive beating in a battle where they shot and left again and again, it was difficult for the ironclad heavy cavalry to make contact with the Mongolian cavalry, and the Mongolian light cavalry left as soon as they touched it, and immediately retreated after shooting a few rounds of arrow rain.

Like peeling an onion, the outermost European heavy cavalry fell off their horses, and when the whole team was scattered and lost confidence in battle, the Mongolian heavy cavalry, which had been hidden, would end the battle with sharp scimitars.

Now the Song Dynasty sergeant eight become infantry, lacking horses and the determination to charge each other with the enemy, the famous anti-Jin general Yue Fei is because his subordinates have trained brave cavalry, with skilled use of hook and sickle infantry infantry, the Jin State has been defeated repeatedly.

"Ling Dutong, there are several naval warships of the imperial court, who have taken over the pearl diving field in Dapuhai and built houses and workshops on the island, and it seems that they will occupy it there for a long time." Zhang Zhensun did not have a regular navy under his command, and only a few dozen small boats were under Ling Zhen's management.

"Lord Zhang, there is such a thing, after the beads of the bead field are handed over, most of them are transported to Lin'an, and then a part of the silver is allocated, which is more than 100,000 taels every year. It has always been managed by the village warriors of the government office, and after the war, these things have been chaotic, so I immediately sent someone over to ask what was going on. The officers and soldiers of those sailors were also strange, and they didn't send anyone to contact them after coming for more than ten days, but they had a hot fight with some trading houses. ”

Zhang Zhensun smiled helplessly: "The naval warships from the north are all under Zhang Shijie and Master Zhang, if they are the vanguard of the front station, they should also have a good relationship with our local government." However, it is a desert island, and it is of little value except for the pearls of the Dapu Sea, so if you deliver the pearls to the prefectural government, let them go! ”

These two didn't know that Du Hu had already sent someone to send the post to Wang Daofu's house, because he was sick and bedridden, so he didn't care about opening it to take a look. Fortunately, Zhang Zhensun was generous and broad-minded, and did not regard this incident as an act of provoking the local governor, if it was still Deng Huaiyuan's character, he would have sent someone to call him a long time ago.

Hong Kong Island is rich in resources, fertile land and abundant fresh water, and it is a natural harbor that does not need to be deliberately built, and there are many places to moor. The disadvantage is that there is no danger to defend, and you can go to the island on all sides, which is a bit inappropriate as a military base. And the safety of this island and Guangzhou Panyu as one, if Guangzhou Panyu is occupied by the Yuan soldiers, then Hong Kong Island is not dangerous to defend and self-defeating.

Therefore, Zhao Tianyou's occupation of this place is not a temporary intention, he wants to use Hong Kong Island as a base camp for logistics support, and the firearms produced will start from here, and arm the defending troops of Guangzhou as soon as possible, and the city of Guangzhou must be firmly defended. Then send ships to the north to Zhangzhou to form a strong support for Wen Tianxiang, but this needs to be established under the condition that the sea is not blocked, once Pu Shougeng comes back to his senses and attacks with all his strength, Zhao Tianyou will advise Wen Tianxiang to retreat south to Guangzhou.

Zhao Tianyou was a little anxious in his heart, although the construction of the island was carried out in an orderly manner, and the concept of military rank and hierarchy of soldiers was also being implemented, even a spy company specializing in intelligence spying was established, but Wang Daofu did not reply for more than ten days.

It is necessary to keep the chaos that everyone in Guangzhou City has, and leave a support base to ensure the transportation by sea, as long as the raw materials for grain and firearms can be supplied, and in time they can be counterattacked by the Northern Expedition.

This requires everyone to cooperate with each other, Zhao Tianyou's troops alone are not competent, and his positioning of himself is not a front-line battle. Doing a good job in the military industry and producing weapons that are ahead of the times will have a much greater effect than going into battle directly.

However, it's not that he doesn't want to save force, after Deng Huaiyuan's incident, he understands that without strong force for self-protection, no matter how many weapons are produced, it is also a role for others to slaughter, so first organize the armed forces under his hands, and he can absorb more troops at any time. Before reaching an agreement with Wang Daofu and other local officials, it is not appropriate to be too high-profile, let alone recruit soldiers here, which is not to raise sand in the eyes of others.

"General Zhao, Lord Wang Daofu has arrived at the dock to ask for a meeting!"

Zhao Tianyou was overjoyed, let go of the little wolf cub who was coquettish in his arms, and happily ordered: "Inform Captain Du Hu to go to the dock to greet this Lord Squire King!" ”

Wang Daofu and Du Hu once had a one-sided relationship, but they haven't seen each other for many years, and they feel a lot of emotion at first sight, and they are embarrassed!

"Lord Wen is sitting in Zhangzhou, why did General Du come to Guangzhou, and is it Lord Wen's arrangement to occupy this desert island?"

Du Hu was a little embarrassed, sighed and said: "A lot of things have happened in the past year, I can't say enough, Lord Wen was able to gain a foothold in Zhangzhou, and it was only because General Zhao sacrificed his life to help him that it was realized." Master Wen ordered me to follow General Zhao's command, and he also has his reasons, but taking over this Hong Kong Island is the intention of our General Zhao, and it has nothing to do with Lord Wen. ”

"Lord Wang is like this, more than 2,000 people on my side rushed ashore, which will inevitably cause trouble and misunderstanding to your lordships, so I found this Hong Kong Island to live temporarily. By the way, there are some county officials appointed by the township Yong, responsible for the collection and inventory of the pearls picked, I am afraid that the world is too chaotic and there is something missing, so it will be done by my people, and then it will be sent to the Panyu County Ya. Zhao Tianyou really can't see this bit of silver, in his plan, Hong Kong Island will be his base camp, the base of the entire military industry, and he can still care about the money for pearl mining.

Wang Daofu is not easy to talk about this matter, if Zhao Tianyou said that he would use the money as military salary, he would be embarrassed to refuse, after all, as an official sitting on the ground, he has the obligation to provide money and food to the army from Waifu.

But Zhao Tianyou said lightly, we don't want to send it to you one day, let him feel very kind, although more than 100,000 silver is not much, but the current county government is very poor!

"General Zhao, how embarrassing it is, if the general likes it, just keep some more beads, anyway, it's a local specialty, and I don't know what the money is!"

Zhao Tianyou laughed and said, "Lord Wang, there is no need to talk about pearls, I just help you collect them." To tell you the truth, I sent someone to the house to discuss something! ”

"What's the matter? General Zhao!
