Kublai Khan, the leader of the Tatar bandits, did not know anything about agricultural production, but he had loyal Hanchen to help him manage his rule, and he only had to see the results. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Tatars also benefited from the new varieties of crops that had just appeared in the Great Song Dynasty in recent years, and in any case, seeds could be obtained if they were a little careful.

Within a few years, Hanchen, who was in charge of agriculture, quickly recognized the excellent usefulness of the three major potato types, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cassava, and actively promoted them in an official capacity, which was far faster than the spontaneous promotion of the people.

As for crops such as corn and high-yielding rice, they have spared no effort to promote them, and even set up acreage in some areas!

How to say it, the rule of extreme **** also has its benefits------ once the order is issued, don't obey it: if it's wrong, it's wrong, that's right, that's their wisdom.

Han Chen, who was in charge of agriculture, said: "The corn is inherently produced by our army, and its straw can be used to feed horses and sheep, and it can actually feed the people, which is very good...... This is the clear proof that our army conforms to the will of the people and is in line with the way of heaven! ”

Kublai Khan, the big boss, did not know how to make agricultural knowledge, but he was able to make basic common sense judgments...... He was very happy to have crops that could feed good horses and also feed people.

He immediately ordered large-scale planting in all areas!

The Tatars were originally nomadic peoples, and there was no distinction between the eastern, western, southern, and northern cultures in their hearts and minds, and they used whatever was useful, and to a certain extent, they were still in a period of self-confidence and openness, accepting all foreign beneficial things, and never emphasizing their own characteristics.

Sea salt and whale meat from the island are also sold in areas under the rule of Tatar bandits, and their cheap prices make it easier for them to survive there...... Again, all this reduces the difficulty of armament of Tatar bandit groups.

It is impossible for the Tatar army to escape the eyes of the Liuqiu Guards, and their three-way army is in full gear and is about to press towards the Shandong region.

All kinds of information are constantly reported to Jinan City------

The army command battalion of the Liuqiu Guard in the city of Jinan was now restless all night, with officers of all sizes coming and going, reporting from time to time the enemy's movements in three directions, and from time to time receiving different orders...... This time the Tatar leader Kublai Khan was really ruthless, and this time he dispatched nearly 300,000 troops!

They will send more troops and horses than they did when they attacked the Great Song Dynasty in the south a few years ago!

The information of the Jinan command battalion was also transmitted to Liuqiu Island through spark radio telegraphy...... Wang Defa's family has always asked to go to Shandong to sit in battle, even he is not proficient in military affairs, but he thinks that he is better than those domestic boys.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, stopped him and said, "Don't treat them as children...... Judging from the previous battles, the problem of combat is not big, let them defend to the death first, as long as the iron heart is stubborn, you still don't worry?! ”

Wang Defa's family thought about it for a long time, and thought of the worst results, but he couldn't think of any big loopholes.

All these years of preparation are not a waste of time!

Wang Defa's family said almost to himself: "Even if you are beaten back, you are not afraid...... We can come back and have a navy in our hands......"

Zhang Guoan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yes! That's the worst possible outcome...... It's a big deal to start all over again, we can afford to lose! ”

This judgment is correct...... They can indeed lose one or two games, and as long as they still have the navy in their hands, as long as their productivity is still there, they can organize another challenge!

The naval army of the Tatar bandit group has now completely become an inland river army, and except for the surrounding area of the Great Song Dynasty, all other sea surfaces are determined by the navy of the Liuqiu Guard...... It also includes the waters around Goryeo, Japan, and the Ryukyus!

The Ryukyu Kingdom has long since completely fallen into the arms of Liuqiu Island, although the name is not right, but in fact------ the warships ordered by the Ryukyu Kingdom from Liuqiu Island are completely under the command of the island lord Zhang Guoan, from their king to the sailors on the warship, none of them feel wrong.

Their navy and army are completely built with the help of Liuqiu Island, and they are no longer worried about being bullied by the Japanese Satsuma Domain, and they even have a good relationship and mutual benefit.

Falling behind will never necessarily be beaten, the key is to learn and find good allies.

Weakness makes diplomacy more important, and the king and crown prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom have now found good allies for their country.

Their dealings with the island became a model for other nations.

A truly good ally is always mutually beneficial, moving in the direction of common development, not pragmatism, and even whoever allied with it suffers from poverty.

In fact, the security of the surrounding waters is their own...... The original number of pirates, large and small, has all disappeared, and they are either defeated by the Liuqiu Guard Navy, or they have run back to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty to become large and small maritime merchants.

Even the gold trade route they made to Egypt was extremely safe...... Even in the distant Persian Gulf, as long as there is a flag with two big characters on the ship, no one dares to make a bad idea.

As mentioned earlier, the Liuqiu Navy annihilated twenty-seven large sea ships of the Persian pirates at one time in the waters of the Tianzhu region!

Captain Guo Beyu even led the team to find the so-called lair of those pirates, and they captured countless gold and silver treasures------ and the sea route there was suddenly cleared and the previous peace was restored.

But at first, they only sent the information back through other merchant ships, and the whole fleet was in no hurry to return, believing that their mission was not really completed...... Captain Guo Beyu interrogated the captured Persian pirates, and he found that some of the so-called pirates were originally converted from the "regular army" of the Ilkhanate!

This is not a simple piracy problem...... This is a matter of war to cut off our flow of gold trade routes on the sea!

Captain Guo Beyu said to his assistant Squadron Leader Zhang Depei: "If it is a state act of the Ilkhanate, we must not evacuate easily...... With the strength of the country, they may build warships at any time, and organize pirates to disturb our trade routes at any time......"

Squadron Leader Zhang Depei touched his furry chin and looked at the hardcover nautical chart given to them by Zhang Guoan's owner...... This chart is far more detailed than the one published in the Liuqiu Times.

Pointing to the so-called ports in the Persian Gulf, he said: "Judging from the pirates' confessions, there are only three ports where they can build warships, and only one is a large ......."

Captain Guo Beyu suddenly smiled: "Hehe...... Lao Zhang, you are so bold, you actually want to dare to raid the other party's port......"

You've been thinking that way for a long time, right?!

Squadron Leader Zhang Depei was a kind man, ignoring the cunning of Captain Guo Beyu, he said: "Instead of waiting for them to build another warship and organize people to attack me, it is better to destroy their manufacturing base first...... Just like our lord's family, if you hit them once, they won't be able to resist for a few years! (To be continued.) )
