Chapter 462: The Great Capital
In the capital, Kublai Khan looked at the urgent performance sent by Jiangnan and Fujian above the main hall and frowned, he thought that Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, would lead the army, and the remnants of the Great Song Dynasty who were cowering in Yashan would be swept away, and he could easily control the whole world, but he didn't expect that Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng would be wiped out in the first battle of Yashan.

Afterwards, he dispatched troops from other places to Yashan, who knew that the little emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and his soldiers and horses disappeared without a trace, and the people of Yashan were strictly interrogated only to know that they had gone to sea by boat; Of course, Kublai Khan refused to let go of this force that was a great threat to his rule, but it was a pity that Meng Yuanshui first encountered a kamikaze when he was conquering the Japanese kingdom in the east, and then was buried by Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng at the bottom of Yashan, and for a while he had no way to take the little emperor.
If this is the case, it is a big deal to spend more time building new ships in Quanzhou, Liujiagang and Goryeo, and then go to sea to search for traces of the little emperor; Who would have thought that Meng Yuan would not attack them, but the Great Song Dynasty began its own counterattack, first successively broke through Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, and even the instigation of the good war was also killed by the Song army, and then the Great Song Dynasty sailors went north to recover Lin'an Mansion, and Yang Lian Zhenjia, who was deeply favored by him, was executed, and later continued to harass the coastal counties, and now even Liujiagang was looted by them and burned to the ground, and for a while Meng Yuan's shipbuilding base was only left in Goryeo.
"The Song people continue to harass my coastal counties and counties, and they have committed heinous crimes one after another, what do you think should be done?" Kublai Khan raised his head and looked down at his ministers, and the prince Zhenjin below, as well as Ali Hague, Ashu, Ahma, Boyan, An Tong, Chen Yan, Fan Wenhu and other important ministers of the imperial court bowed their heads one after another, not daring to look directly at him.
"Huh? How? Don't dare to speak? When it came time to employ people, no one dared to respond, Kublai Khan was quite unhappy in his heart, and his tone was a little more serious, although he loved Confucianism, but after all, he was a descendant of Temujin, and if no one responded, he was afraid that he would have to deal with these court ministers severely.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Fujian to quell the rebellion and recover Quanzhou and Zhangzhou." Ali Hague, who can fight well, glanced at Wenchen beside him dissatisfied, and took the lead in standing up and saying.
"General Ali Hague, the land of Huguang has not been completely calmed down, you better do these things first, and leave the matter of attacking Quanzhou and Zhangzhou to me." Uliangha-Ashu, who had fought against the Great Song Dynasty with Ali Hague, also stood up, he did not take the Song army in his eyes, thinking that this was a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so he couldn't wait to stand up and fight.
Uliangha-Ashu is the grandson of one of Temujin's "Four Dogs", the son of Marshal Uliang Hetai, who has led troops in battle since he was a child and has made great achievements, and now he is in the prime of life, and seems to be more reliable than the slightly older Ali Hague.
"Your Majesty, Quanzhou and Zhangzhou are just ringworm scabies, and the most important thing at the moment is to find the Great Song Dynasty hidden in the sea." Boyan, another general in the court, did not participate in the competition, but talked about what Kublai Khan was more concerned about, "After finding out its location, I will shoot the sailors to attack, and finish it in one battle, as long as the Great Song Dynasty is destroyed by my Great Yuan, then Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, which have no support, will be easily taken." ”
"Well, Boyan is right, but where is the Great Song Dynasty now?" What Boyan said was exactly what Kublai Khan thought, "And now that Liujiagang has been burned and Quanzhou has fallen into the hands of the Song people, how to build a ship is a troublesome matter." ”
"According to the news from Quanzhou and Lin'an, the Great Song Dynasty may have hid on Liuqiu Island opposite Fujian, or perhaps it is precisely because of this that they occupied Quanzhou and Zhangzhou." Ahma, who was in charge of the central treasury of the Mongol Yuan, interjected, "As for shipbuilding, I can order Goryeo to speed up the construction of ships, and in addition, I will gather craftsmen from all over the world to re-establish shipyards to build ships." ”
"What does it take to build a shipyard? How long will it take to get enough ships? Kublai Khan nodded slightly, and Ahma's answer was still quite barbaric.
"Please also rest assured that Wechen will be able to solve these problems." Ahmad rejoiced in his heart, this may be another good opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to make money.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, from the perspective of a micro-minister, the remnants of the Song Dynasty are not enough to worry about." Chen Yan, the prime minister of Zuo, felt a little uneasy when he saw that there was no Hanchen to speak, and hurriedly stood up to express his opinion, and after receiving Kublai Khan's inquiring eyes, he continued, "Lin'an Mansion is very important to the Great Song Dynasty, but since Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie captured Lin'an Mansion, they did not leave troops to garrison like Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, I am afraid that it is the reason why they are not strong enough. ”
"Liuqiu is located in the wilderness, maybe you can take refuge for a while, but there is no way to strengthen the strength of the remnant Song Dynasty, we only need to recover Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, cut off their foundation on the shore, and strictly order the sails not to go to sea, without the support of the shore, the remnant Song court on Liuqiu Island can only survive. When the sailor is completed, ten thousand ships will be launched together, and they will definitely be able to win the stream in one fell swoop. Chen Yan not only put forward his own analysis of the current situation, but also gave solutions.
Fan Wenhu, the great Song general who had led the troops to attack the Wa Kingdom, seemed to see the opportunity and hurriedly came out to ask for battle, Ali Hague, Ashu and Boyan and other generals all showed disdain, especially Ashu, Fan Wenhu had a big battle with him in the turbulent beach before he surrendered to Meng Yuan, and in that battle Ashu easily defeated Fan Wenhu's 100,000 army, and Meng Yuan captured generals and fought countless battles.
If it was a land battle, they would not hesitate to compete for this qualification, but unfortunately no one was sure about the sea battle, so they had to watch Fan Wenhu being praised by Kublai Khan.
Then the ministers discussed where to build the shipyard, who to send to attack Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, and how to control the people to go to sea, and Kublai Khan also made a final decision.
Zhang Hongfan, who led the army into Fujian last time, had already died in Yashan, so Kublai Khan had no choice but to select his more trusted Boyan from the generals in the palace to serve as the general to recover Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, "Boyan, you lead 20,000 soldiers and horses from the capital, plus the troops from Fuzhou, Jiangxi and other places to besiege Quanzhou and Zhangzhou. ”
"Wechen takes orders." Boyan was secretly happy in his heart, left the unwilling Ah Shu and Ali Hague, and knelt on the ground to thank him.
"Ahma, you start preparing for the shipyard as soon as possible, and at the latest the year after, I will see my Dayuan's sailor. Fan Wenhu, you and Ahma are responsible for the construction of the warship, and gather the sailors to start training as soon as possible. Kublai Khan then gave these two tasks to Ahmad and Fan Wenhu.
After all this was arranged, Kublai Khan subconsciously looked to the south, and for some reason he always felt that the Great Song Dynasty would not let him deal with it so calmly. (To be continued.) )
