Chapter 325: Who Started the Arms Race?
Liu Quan, the provincial governor and pacification ambassador of Kuifu, was a man who would judge the situation and quickly understood the situation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At the end of the Jin Dynasty, he would resolutely transform from a Jin country to a Great Song person; In the last years of the Great Song Dynasty, he would resolutely transform from a Great Song man to a Tatar bandit group, and he relied on this ability...... As for the reasons for the change, he ignored them, because he knew that history would definitely find excuses and reasons for people like himself.
He understood that if he continued to fight like this, his ships would be gone.
Moreover, he is purely attrition, and the opponent, it seems, is getting stronger and stronger...... Now, Lu Wende, a stinky charcoal seller, actually dispatched thirty warships to smuggle at a time, he can earn money by fighting, and whether he wins or loses, the loss will be lost, and the support of one Sichuan road is still not enough.
At this point, history has returned to its original state.
He repeatedly asked for instructions to start fighting from the land of Xiangfan, and finally got the attention of Kublai Khan's big leader.
It is impossible for the Tatar bandit group to tolerate the existence of the Great Song, which is not in line with their concept of survival, and the other party must be eliminated.
But where to start, the debate is too big.
In 1267, Liu Cheng temporarily suspended military friction with the Lü group, because the big boss Kublai Khan summoned him to the court.
At the court, he once again offered advice to the big boss Kublai Khan, saying: "The Song lord is weak and rebellious, and he has established a corner of the country, and today is the opportunity to start a mix." The minister is willing to follow the dog horse Lao, attack Xiangyang first, and withdraw its cover. ”
Of course, at that time, the ministers immediately quarreled, and there were opinions on which way to start the official attack, and the quarrel continued for a while.
In fact, at this time, due to the failure of Meng Ge's large-scale onslaught, everyone once lost the confidence to swallow the Great Song Dynasty, and no matter which side they attacked, everyone's confidence was not enough.
Then. Liu Cheng said sonorously: "Since ancient times, emperors have not been a family from all over the world, and they are not orthodox. There are seventeen or eighteen in the world in the Holy Dynasty, why not ask a corner, and abandon orthodoxy and evil! ”
This sentence woke up the drowsy big boss Kublai Khan, right. We are emperors, there is a way to build an empire in the handle of a knife, and if we don't unify the world, how can we get orthodoxy!
He suddenly jumped up from the dragon chair, pulled out the steel knife from his waist, and shouted, "I am determined!" ”
At this moment, the ministers also immediately unified their thinking and strengthened their confidence.
Liu Quan, the provincial governor and pacification ambassador of Kuifu, looked at the heroic big boss with tears in his eyes. It's really my master, Lu Wende, you're out of luck...... That's what he thought.
By this time, the Tatar bandit group had basically completed the preparation of military supplies and could begin large-scale robbery.
Liu Cheng was happy that the military supplies he needed began to arrive in a steady stream, and the focus was on attacking the Xiangfan area!
Just wait until next year. As soon as their soldiers come out, the two cities of Xiangfan between Shuzhong and Lianghuai will be broken!
Lu Wende saw that Liu Quan's army was no longer dispatched. He didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and he couldn't afford to start a war.
So the two sides returned to the previous situation, you don't fight me, I won't fight you...... Lu Wende heard from the newspaper that Liu Cheng had begun to bury himself in building a naval army again, and it was said that he had a plan to build 5,000 warships.
Lu Wende didn't feel very good during this time, and his heart was stuffy. But the last big war refreshed him, and it feels great, you have to build 5,000, I'll build 6,000!
The Lü military group now has this condition, and their smuggling activities have brought them a lot of profits...... And. Next year, they will also prepare to increase the number of acres of cotton fields, and last year's cotton and this year's cotton made them make a lot of money, so they do feel the reality that the bigger their place, the more profits they will receive.
Once again, the two sides began an arms race.
Behind Liu Cheng, there stood the entire Tatar bandit group; Behind Lu Wende, stands the entire Jinghu Group...... The two cities of Jiangling and Ezhou also began to form a close group with the Xiangfan area.
The entire Yangtze River system may be filled with the sound of shipbuilding...... Everything is shrouded in the clouds of war.
Therefore, Lu Wende's victory is the victory of the entire Lu group, which cannot but make Lu Xiong, who is far away on Liuqiu Island, happy.
After listening carefully to the introduction of Director Lu Xiong, Zhang Guoan sighed in his heart, as long as he has his own vital interests, everyone will fight hard!
This can be said to be the battle of Haiyan, or the battle of smuggling, the Jinghu Group, it is really possible to rely on the land of the three cities to drag the Tatar bandit group to the death!
Then just cooperate with it, and I can't make it easy for the Tatars by the sea!!
Captain Huang Zu fully understood Zhang Guoan's thoughts, and he praised the idea of pretending to be a pirate, which would not cause trouble for anyone......
Previously, the craftsmen they brought back from the Huangdao shipyard really lived a good life in the Badaohe area.
They were paid, and as promised, they were paid on time every month, and they were never in arrears...... Moreover, they really have freedom, have rest days, and can also ask for leave and go to Da Song for a walk.
Moreover, there are more and more vendors coming and going to the Badaohe area, and some daily items can be easily bought.
Since they all moved in as a family unit, Zhang Guoan took the opportunity to narrow the scope of the physical supply system, and as long as the money was enough, the people themselves solved the problem.
Financially they are free and have reasonable returns; They are also free in people, even if they want to return to the Tatars...... Of course, no one wants to go back, the artisan service system of the Tatar bandit group is simply a nightmare for craftsmen!
One person is a craftsman, and the whole family is a craftsman, and it is hereditary...... What's more, they don't have any freedom at all, maybe only Zhang Guoan, the island owner, knows that the later Zhu Chongba inherited this completely, I really don't know what he thinks!
Of course, Captain Huang Zu saw that those craftsmen were full of energy, and Zhang Daoist took good care of those black and white pikemen members, and relieved them of their slave status, not to mention how kind he was to the craftsmen.
Captain Huang Zu said to Zhang Guoan: "I will go to the Mizhou shipyard, I will take everything I can take, and if I can't take it away, I will burn their shipyard so that they will not be able to build ships for several years...... I'll bring those craftsmen back too! ”
Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said: "Bring more if you can, don't let them contribute to the Tatars, they are still miserable, and the work here is ...... Even if it's just a lumberjack! ”
Captain Huang Zu nodded seriously, yes, in the words of Island Master Zhang, now, the natural resources here are almost unlimited, and only labor needs to be developed, and in the blink of an eye, they will become money.
He immediately recruited his men and began to study the intelligence of Michigan.
In fact, the Mizhou shipyard was a combination of several private factories, and they were all forcibly requisitioned by the Tatar bandit group, and no factory owner dared to say a word.
The factory owners finally learned the power of the Tatars, they were worse than Dajin, and let people work without paying a penny. (To be continued.) )
