After returning to the mainland, Chen Hangyan only led his soldiers and horses to show their faces outside the city of Zhangzhou, and the defenders in the city directly opened the city and surrendered, Zhang Shijie, Yang Liangjie and Mrs. Xu's troops were also like bamboos, and soon recovered the entire territory of Fujian, if it were not for Li You's restraint, they would even invade Jiangxi and Zhejiang.

"At present, my Great Song Dynasty has limited troops, and it is really not appropriate to expand too much, so let's delay the attack on Jiangxi and Zhejiang." Li You, who reconvened the generals to Quanzhou, said slowly, the Great Song Dynasty is currently only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and it is almost the limit to occupy the entire Fujian, and it may not be a good thing to continue to expand, "Now it is better to be patient for a while, gradually restore the livelihood of the people in Fujian, and continue to recruit soldiers, so that Meng Yuan can relax his vigilance; When they start fighting, it's not too late to expand. ”

Now that Ah Shu has rushed back to Dadu, he is confronting Naiyan from the southeast of Liao, Ananda and Odu Chi in the northwest, Hu Gechi in the southwest are contacting the Mengyuan nobles everywhere, Mingli Timur, Haidu and others are sharpening their knives, seeing that a melee is about to break out, Li You doesn't want to help them pull hatred at this time, so that the attention of the Mongols can be refocused on himself.

Therefore, he decided to stop the pace of expansion for the time being, slowly accumulate strength, and wait for these Mongols to kill corpses all over the field and lose their strength before coming out to recover the country; Although Zhang Shijie and the others felt that it was a pity, what Li You said was indeed reasonable, so they had to accept Li You's suggestion and prepare to recuperate and expand their troops.

"Now is a troubled time, so we have to adopt some different methods from the old system of the Great Song Dynasty, tomorrow I will return to Liuqiu to welcome the Queen Mother and Your Majesty back to the Central Plains, and then ask the Queen Mother and Your Majesty to send the chief officials for the prefectures and counties of Fujian, but you do not have to accept the jurisdiction of civil officials." The previous tradition of emphasizing literature over military force in the Great Song Dynasty is definitely not suitable for today's troubled times, how can those military generals who grovel in front of civil officials defeat Meng Yuan? Li You didn't want the self-confidence and pride that they had cultivated in their hearts to be wiped out by those civilian officials, so he planned to divide the civilian officials and military generals into different systems to reduce the unnecessary harassment of civilian officials to military generals.

In addition, Li You also prepared many means such as rotation training of recruits and separation of soldiers and generals to strengthen the restraint of generals without damaging the combat effectiveness of the army, which was much stronger than the previous methods of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Everything is in accordance with the orders of Lord Xiangguo." These measures were very beneficial to their group of generals, and everyone hurriedly thanked them, and after carefully inquiring about the details, they dispersed.

On the second day, Li You led a fleet to prepare to go to Liuqiu, and when he saw him off, Wen Tianxiang said worriedly, "I am afraid that this move will greatly offend the court's ministers, and you have to be very careful when you go to Liuqiu." If it was according to Wen Tianxiang's previous temperament, he would definitely refute Li You's many methods, but after following Li You for a long time, his inherent thinking was gradually reversed, and he already understood that if he still acted in the way of the Great Song Dynasty, there was absolutely no hope of success in expelling Meng Yuan and recovering the country, and under the rights and interests of the two phases, Wen Tianxiang finally chose to trust Li You.

"This generation may have some temperament, but they don't understand practice, and it is useless to let them steal high positions in the country." Li You also felt a headache for these people, he would rather go to the battlefield to fight with the cowardly Xue army of the Mongols than argue with those civil officials in the court, and he could kill them all, but the latter could not be treated so roughly, and their destructive ability to the Great Song Dynasty was comparable.

"Xia Guan was the same as them back then." Wen Tianxiang said with emotion, thinking that he was heartbroken for the Great Song Dynasty at the beginning, and tried all kinds of ways but achieved nothing, until he came to Li You's side, he didn't know that he was wrong before, and now thinking of everything back then, Wen Tianxiang was deeply ashamed; Seeing that Li You turned around and wanted to leave, he couldn't help but remind again, "The gentleman is honest, the open gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, and now the hope of the Great Song Dynasty Zaixing is all pinned on the Xianggong, and the Xianggong must not be sloppy." ”

"Thank you Song Rui for reminding me, I will definitely be careful." Li You couldn't help but feel a little moved, his hard work during this time was not in vain after all, there was still Wenchen who could understand, so he turned around and walked onto the gangplank, and after a while, he boarded Zheng He's treasure ship, the sails slowly rose, and the fleet sailed towards Liuqiu in the wind.

"General Zheng, today is finally time to continue listening to your instructions." A few days ago, every time he got on the ship, he had to worry about the next combat target, and he was very busy, so although Zheng He was willing to teach him, Li You still didn't have much complete time to listen to Zheng He's talk about the essence of naval warfare, and it was not until today that he was temporarily idle.

"Actually, I have already told about it a few days ago, and the lord might as well try to command the fleet by himself this time." Zheng He directly handed over the command of the fleet to Li You, and he had already told Li You all the naval combat skills he had mastered in the bits and pieces of time before, and Li You absorbed it very quickly, and now what he lacked was just some practical experience, and now was a good time for drills.

"Then I'm disrespectful." Li You was not polite, and immediately took over the command of Zheng He and issued an order to the political fleet to prepare to start the exercise.

With the help of Zheng He, he practiced various formations that could be used in water warfare, and practiced various attack techniques, and slowly Zheng He began to integrate the various knowledge taught in the past, Li You gradually tasted the essence of water warfare, and said the thoughts in his heart to Zheng He, Zheng He nodded again and again, and patiently explained the reason.

On the way from Quanzhou to Liuqiu, Li You was completely immersed in the mysteries of naval warfare, constantly exchanging ideas with Zheng He, and using the things he pondered in the training of the fleet, and felt that he had gained a lot.

"The lord is really talented, and he has commanded the fleet so well in just a few days, and in time he will be able to cross the seven seas." Seeing Li You's rapid progress, Zheng He couldn't help but sigh.

"This is all thanks to General Zheng's careful guidance, if it weren't for General Zheng, there would be today." Li You sincerely thanked him, and just as the two of them were talking and laughing, Li You's ears heard the voice of the tiger talisman that had not been seen for a long time, "Congratulations to the host for being carefully taught by the famous Admiral Zheng Hezhi of the Ming Dynasty and obtaining the naval combat skill 'Seven Seas'!"
