Zhao Tianyou was in a good mood, and the people around him were relieved, especially Meng Shuirou had always had something to hide from Zhao Tianyou, always churning that she couldn't eat or sleep well, and finally decided not to say it yet.

It was not only her and Meng Hao who secretly left behind in the Meng family's fishing village, almost all of the early longbowmen were mixed into the warship, and twelve people had been found one after another, waiting in unison to be stationed and coming to ask for guilt, and now they knew that they were afraid of being thrown into the sea by Zhao Tianyou.

Outside the city of Zhangzhou, there are improvised simple dwellings everywhere, and every day, people in the vicinity drag their families and families, drive donkey carts, mules, horses and livestock to flee. This is the chain reaction after the news that Tingzhou City was slaughtered by the Yuan soldiers after the news spread, some of them really came to serve the city, and some of them were frightened by the 10,000 cavalry slaughtered everywhere, and came to Zhangzhou City to find a place to save their lives.

After Wen Tianxiang escaped, he entered Zhangzhou to assist in resisting the Yuan, in terms of official rank, Wen Tianxiang was already a first-class member, and the Zhangzhou Zhizhou was more than three orders lower than him, but Wen Tianxiang was incompetent, and all the affairs were arranged by the Zhangzhou Zhizhou.

The slaughter of Tingzhou made a knot in Wen Tianxiang's heart, and the tangled knots that turned over and over couldn't be opened. According to Wen Tianxiang's original intention, he will live and die with the soldiers and civilians of Tingzhou, and he will die in Tingzhou City, and he will definitely not take half a step back.

However, in order to protect him from breaking through, his soldiers persuaded Wen Tianxiang not to go to the battlefield no matter how hard he was, so he had no choice but to knock him out first, tied him to his horseback and broke through and left Tingzhou. After getting rid of the danger in Zhangzhou, Wen Tianxiang wanted to blame Jiang Yun, the deputy general who broke through, but Jiang Yun led eight of his men to meet the enemy in order to block the pursuers, and was shot into a hedgehog by ten thousand arrows.

Deng Huaiyuan, the governor of Zhangzhou, is also a general, with an excellent reputation in Zhangzhou for courage and strategy, and his soldiers are also very powerful, otherwise the pursuers behind Wen Tianxiang would not be able to give up. So many people who came to defect did not complain about temporarily living outside the city, and arranged to enter the city in order.

This is not Deng Huaiyuan suspicious, it is the Song Dynasty generals who led the troops to slaughter the city, it is the first time in the Song and Yuan wars, so anything can happen next, if some spies are mixed in the city, and the Yuan soldiers should be combined with the outside, Zhangzhou City is not the same as paper paste.

Among the 10,000 cavalry led by Dong Wenshan, there were really hundreds of sergeants who surrendered from the Song Dynasty, and it was not for nothing that they had the idea of sneaking into the city, and they also selected more than a dozen people to come over. However, after they arrived outside the city, they saw that all the people had to check their identities one by one before they could enter Zhangzhou City, so Dong Wenzhi gave up this plan of attacking the inside and outside.

Zhangzhou City is not as good as Tingzhou, the city wall is thick and easy to defend and difficult to attack, Deng Huaiyuan dug trenches and fortifications outside the city, specially to deal with the cavalry, no matter how many horses you have outside Zhangzhou City, you can't rush up.

Dong Wenshan's subordinates took advantage of the victory to pursue Wen Tianxiang and were defeated, and after the slaughter of the city, the centaur brigade was ready to attack Zhangzhou on a large scale, but there were many bad things on the way, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, especially the hundreds of Song Dynasty soldiers, who were ruthless and did not leave a living mouth, and the Yuan soldiers together were admired. At this time, they received an order from the general of Quanzhou to return to Quanzhou immediately to stand by, and then they went north with the slaughter all the way, and I don't know how many people along the road were persecuted.

The Song court in Fuzhou moved southward, Zhang Shijie led more than 500 warships, and when he passed through Quanzhou, he resented Pu Shougeng for his treachery and surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, led the troops to besiege Quanzhou Port, and vowed to exterminate Pu Shougeng.

There are more than 700 merchant ships and cargo ships of Pu Shougeng in the port, Zhang Shijie led the Song Dynasty sailors to loot these ships, and then sent 20,000 soldiers and horses to Quanzhou City. However, there were not only 20,000 soldiers in Quanzhou City, but also Pu Shougeng's own less than 20,000 horses, who went out of the city to fight a blocking battle against Zhang Shijie, and after both sides were damaged, they fell into a confrontation situation.

Dong Wenshan was ordered to return to Quanzhou, at this time Zhang Shijie had besieged the city on three sides, and only from the west gate could enter and exit Quanzhou. This was originally a plan by Zhang Shijie's subordinates, besieging the city on three sides and shouting slogans, just to kill the Pu Shougeng clan and avenge the three thousand Song clan relatives and the Huai soldiers who were killed, and it has nothing to do with other clans in Quanzhou. And all those who do not participate in the defense of the city, or even take people out of Quanzhou, can be regarded as a great achievement, and they will be rewarded afterwards.

The intention was to divide the forces in the city, make the people around Pu Shougeng panic, disintegrate the local tyrants from all over Quanzhou who supported him, and prepare to forcibly attack the city at an appropriate time. Taking Quanzhou is equivalent to taking the key to the treasury, guarding this high-quality port that ranked first in the world at that time, which is sitting on the golden mountain, and it is also the reason why Zhang Shijie and others are preparing to set the capital of Quanzhou.

In the confrontation between the various parties in Quanzhou with ill intentions, Zhao Tianyou's four warships entered the sea from the river and anchored near Longhai. This time, Zhao Tianyou decided to send someone ashore first, wait for the scout to find out the news, and then lead the army to Zhangzhou to meet Wen Tianxiang.

At this time, from north to south, large and small ships passed by one after another, and after seeing Zhao Tianyou's warship, they did not say hello or avoid it, and went straight to ignore the general growth. Zhao Tianyou pondered mentally, it may be that the imperial court in Fuzhou has retreated south, and the Yuan army's sailors are closely followed by it, if they fight, will they participate in the war? The warships of the Song Dynasty that moved south may not care, and for them to rush to Guangdong is the primary purpose.

In fact, these ships are Pu Shougeng's merchant ships and cargo ships, and after being robbed by Zhang Shijie, he sent people to sail the ships and supplies to Guangdong, and he didn't want to leave a piece of wood for Pu Shougeng. Six or seven hundred boats, large and small, are not something that can be driven away in a day or two, just besieging the city and driving the boat away, Pu Shougeng in Quanzhou City is trembling.

Zhao Tianyou called Du Hu and asked directly: "We can't go to Zhangzhou anymore, the situation in Fuzhou and Quanzhou has changed, we should follow these merchant ships as soon as possible and move to Guangdong, what does General Du think?" ”

"This, this ......" Du Hu was entangled in his heart, he also knew that what Zhao Tianyou said was right, but the mission and responsibility in his heart made him unable to leave with peace of mind.

"Our greatest reliance is not on these boats, nor on these brave soldiers, do you know what?"

Du Hu's body shook and said: "I know, it's our firearms, our thunderbolt cannon is powerful, more than twice as powerful as the ordnance superintendent!" If it is produced in large quantities, it will definitely be a big killer weapon to defeat the enemy!"

"Hehe, General Du has good eyesight, what you said is right, it is with these firearms that we can defeat the onslaught of the Mongol cavalry. But the most important thing is those people, the more than 100 skilled craftsmen, they are the foundation of us.

However, just staying on the ship and running around, their role is difficult to play, they need to stay in the rear, and they need a stable environment to make good weapons. Therefore, we can't stay in Zhangzhou, we need to leave as soon as possible, and we need to find a suitable place to settle down. ”

Du Hu nodded vigorously, but he was a little speechless.

"Don't worry, I'll see you, Lord Wen."
