Chapter 485: The Dawn Emerges
Let's wait a little longer, now is a good opportunity for the Great Song Dynasty to recover Fujian, if I leave the mainland to go to Liuqiu, who else can preside over the overall situation? Zhang Shijie and Mrs. Xu are not suitable, so they just wait until the whole territory of Fuzhou is recovered and then return to Liuqiu to directly take over the Queen Mother and the Little Emperor, Li You thought about it again and again, and decided to wait.

Now Fuzhou, Quanzhou two important towns have fallen into the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, attacking Zhangzhou can be said to be easy, later Li You wrote a letter to send people to Liu Qiu to Chen Hangyan, he has many Zhangzhou children, if he is the main general of the attack on Zhangzhou, the Song army will be able to reduce many casualties.
In addition, there is a letter to the imperial court, in which he first carefully explained the fact that he had been harassing the coastal counties during this time, mobilizing the Yuan army, and finally attacking the general Kublai Khan and others, and that Meng Yuan was about to usher in civil strife, and asked the queen mother and the little emperor to prepare to return to the mainland.
After dealing with these things, Li You continued to organize the army to prepare to attack other states and counties in Fujian, and now Boyan has almost taken away all the Yuan troops in Fujian, and there are only some Han troops with different minds left in Jianning Road, Tingzhou Road, Yanping Road and other places, and there is no way to compare with the Yuan army in terms of combat effectiveness and combat will, coupled with the huge aura of Li You's killing of Kublai Khan, it is only an overnight matter to capture these cities, and there will be no big trouble at all.
Therefore, Li You divided his troops into several parts, some of which were led by Mrs. Xu, some of which were led by Zhang Shijie, and some of which belonged to Yang Liangjie's command to attack the rest of the counties in three ways, and he took Zheng He, Fan Wenchao and others to sit in the center, they would have to leave sooner or later, and these insignificant battles would be used to train these Song troops for the time being.
The offensive was carried out very smoothly, the enemy troops fled everywhere the three-way army went, and some Han generals judged that Meng Yuan may have begun to weaken according to the current situation, and then led his army to surrender to the Song army, Mrs. Xu, Zhang Shijie and others took them in one by one, and after screening their subordinates, they joined the Song army.
In the middle of October, most of the land in Fujian re-planted the banner of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty, which had been pressed and beaten on the ground by Meng Yuan for many years, vaguely saw the dawn of rejuvenation, and countless Han people who had been oppressed by Meng Yuan cheered for it.
At the same time, Li You's letters and memorabilia also reached Liuqiu Island, and caused a huge shock in the Great Song Dynasty, the Empress Dowager and the little emperor were overjoyed to see the news of Kublai Khan's death, and they now finally did not have to worry about Meng Yuan attacking Liuqiu and harvesting their lives, and even began to fantasize that one day they could return to Lin'an and rule half of the country.
Among the civil officials in the court, there were other opinions, some people were extremely excited by Li You's immortal achievements, and they wrote to the empress dowager and the little emperor to allow them to go to the mainland and join Li You's command to participate in the conquest on the mainland; At the same time, some people are secretly wary of Li You's current prestige and status.
"It is gratifying to be with the power of the prince and the prince to break through the capital and recover Fujian, but there are also quite hidden dangers." In the mansion of Chen Yizhong, another prime minister in the court, Deng Guangjian, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, said worriedly, "I heard that the people of Liuqiu spread the name of the prince and the truth of the king, without mentioning the Queen Mother and His Majesty, I am afraid that something unbearable will happen in the long run." ”
And the right is Chen Yizhong's word, before the battle of Yashan, he was sent to Zhancheng to ask for help, who knew that after reaching Zhancheng, he found nothing, so he did not dare to return to the country, until the news of the victory of the Song army in the battle of Yashan, he had the idea of returning to the country, and after tossing and turning before he arrived at Liuqiu, and at this time Li You had already led the fleet to crusade against Meng Yuan, because of his deep qualifications, so Chen Yizhong was quickly re-appointed as the prime minister by the Queen Mother.
But now that the Great Song Dynasty court has decided everything with Li You, Chen Yizhong does not have any prestige in the court, and he does not have the prestige that he once responded to with his words, and he can only live in the court all day long, which makes him inevitably feel depressed; In the same way, Deng Guangjian and other civil officials who only knew poetry and books but did not understand affairs were also mostly idle by Li You, and these people who were dissatisfied with Li You gradually gathered together and made some sour remarks all day long, just like what Deng Guangjian just said.
Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, took the orphans and widows of the Chai family in the Chenqiao Mutiny, so the Song generation was extremely vigilant about the ministers, and now Li You has the power, political power, and financial power in his hands, which is even higher and more powerful than Zhao Kuangyin back then, how can he not worry Chen Yizhong, Deng Guangjian and others.
Therefore, Chen Yizhong nodded slightly after listening to Deng Guang's words, "I know that the monarch is the truth, he has always been loyal to the imperial court, and he will definitely not be disobedient." Speaking of this, he changed his words, "But I think Emperor Taizu probably wouldn't have coveted the Chai family's country from the beginning, right?" If it weren't for Shi Shouxin and others in yellow robes, it would be impossible to say that Emperor Taizu would still be a loyal minister of the Great Zhou. ”
"What I said to the minister is that even if the prince doesn't have such thoughts, can it be that the people under his command will force him to act for the sake of glory and wealth." Deng Guangjian thought so, and he began to count the important ministers around Li You now, "Zhang Shijie is a martial artist, and he has never known loyalty; Mrs. Xu can also be in a high position as a woman, which is really distressing; Yang Liangjie was originally a relative, but he was willing to bow down and be intimate to the monarch; Chen Hangyan is a vulgar person in the countryside, and Zheng He, who came from nowhere, is a eunuch! Counting over and over again, there is no scholar around Jun Shigong, it is really.... It's ......."
Deng Guangjian shook his head as he spoke, in his opinion, even if it is a march and a war, there must be literati in the middle of the plan, otherwise what kind of system will it become? Not to mention that when he took Quanzhou and Zhangzhou before, he should have sent a powerful Wenchen to the local area to serve as the chief official, he was already ready to recommend talents, but who knew that Li You directly appointed Mrs. Xu and Chen Hangyan to take charge of these two cities, making them seem as if they had nothing to do.
As soon as the words were finished, the ministers who were also in Chen Yizhong's mansion agreed that since they arrived in Liuqiu, they had lost their former glory, and their enthusiasm for serving the country was useless, which made them feel extremely uncomfortable.
"In the future, if the imperial court moves to Fujian, the Queen Mother and Your Majesty are afraid that they will fall into the hands of Jun Shigong, and at that time, if someone forces Jun Shigong to act, we will only be killed." After a long time, Chen Yizhong said leisurely.
Yes, all the officials and people in Fujian believe in Lu Cheng, and what he says may be more effective than the holy decree, and everyone can't help but become more worried. (To be continued.) )
