Chapter 464: Exhausted
At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Fujian was originally subordinate to Jiangxi Province, and later set up a separate province to govern Fuzhou, if it was not for Li You to lead the army to recover Quanzhou, then Quanzhou would be divided into Quanzhou Province, after less than a year of time, Quanzhou Province and Fujian Province merged and renamed Fujian Province, governed in Quanzhou; After another year, the administrative office will be moved from Quanzhou to Fuzhou, and after staying in Fuzhou for less than a year, the administrative office will return to Quanzhou again; After a period of time, the two provinces of Jiangxi and Fujian were first merged into one, then the two provinces of Fujian and Quanzhou were separated, and then the provinces of Quanzhou were merged, first Zhangzhou was moved, and then Fuzhou was moved.

This is not the end, in the future, the province of Zhongshu will say that "the military salary of Fujian Province is very small, and it will be transferred to Yangzhou, and there will be many delays." If the two provinces are one, the province will be ordered to govern Quanzhou for the convenience", the edict is to the right of the Zhongshu to save the province and busy Wutai for the Jianghuai and other places to do the political affairs of the province of Pingzhang, and to the province of the left Cheng suddenly, Pu Shougeng, and participate in the administration of the province of Quanzhou; In less than a year, it was abolished, and the Xuanxuan Consolation Department was established, which was affiliated with Jiangxi Province; In this way, after seven years of tossing, Fujian Province was re-established, and then merged into Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province.
In the future, Fujian Province was abolished for a while, and then re-established, until Fujian was occupied by the Ming Dynasty to settle down a little, Meng Yuan's ruling ability can be seen from this, and it is simply a matter of treating national affairs as a child's home, and such a dynasty can persist for nearly a hundred years, which is simply unreasonable.
At present, the main officials of Fujian Province are gathered in Fuzhou, ready to reorganize their troops and join forces with Boyan to go south to exterminate the thieves entrenched in Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, Mrs. Xu and Chen Hangyan occupied these two places for a long time, but they had no way, and they were inevitably a little apprehensive in their hearts, plus Boyan was a general who was deeply favored by Kublai Khan, so they did not dare to be the slightest sloppy, made detailed arrangements for the city defense of Fuzhou City, and sent a probe horse from afar to investigate the news of Boyan's army.
Because of this, Li You did not make a surprise attack this time, the fleet was still far away from Fuzhou City was discovered by Meng Yuan's spies, they were shocked and hurriedly rushed back to Fuzhou City, so Fuzhou City immediately closed its four gates, and all the officers and soldiers were driven to the city to prepare to resist the attack of the Song army, and immediately sent the best horses and the highest horsemen to send emergency documents to the Boyan army for help.
"Now that Fuzhou has been prepared, if it is attacked, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses." Zheng He looked at the city of Fuzhou from afar, frowned slightly and said to Li You.
"I didn't think about taking Fuzhou directly this time, but since I'm here, I have to give them a little bit of power." Li You put down his binoculars and commanded the army to begin clearing the nearby Mengyuan Naval Division ships.
Although there were some warships of the Yuan army outside the city of Fuzhou, there were few people on the boats, and there was no way to compete with the Song army, and they wanted to turn around and run away before they could engage in the battle, but after Zheng He commanded the artillery to sink the two fastest ships, the rest did not dare to move, and they surrendered one after another, without causing them a little trouble.
Then the army slowly landed, lined up a long-term siege posture, set up cannons and bombarded the head of Fuzhou City, frightened the defenders in the city to not possess their bodies, and hurriedly prayed to Changshengtian that Boyan's reinforcements could arrive before the fall of Fuzhou.
At night, some of the self-regarded Meng Yuan generals also wanted to go out of the city to attack at night, but they happened to fall into the trap arranged by Li You, losing thousands of men and horses, and even the commander who led the team was killed by Li You's arrow. Since then, no one dared to raise the matter of the city meeting the enemy, so they could only retreat in the city all day to resist the attack of the Song army.
Fortunately, the Song army only used cannons, bows, crossbows, and even trebuchets and other weapons to carry out long-range attacks, and there was no intention of attacking the city or digging tunnels to blow up the city, so Fuzhou could barely hold on.
"What? The Song army is besieging Fuzhou? At this time, the envoy sent by Fuzhou also found Boyan, and this news surprised him, and he hurriedly commanded the army to speed up the march.
After a few days of galloping horses, the Boyan army could finally see the city wall of Fuzhou from a distance, but the scene in front of him made him feel extremely depressed, now the gate of Fuzhou was wide open, and there was no trace of the Song army around, could this be what they called the siege of the army? Bo Yan's face suddenly became gloomy.
"Where is the Song army besieging the city in the emergency documents?" Seeing the Fuzhou officials who came to greet him from afar, Bo Yan shouted and asked, isn't there someone pretending to be a messenger?
"Lord Qiyu Boyan, those Song troops have retreated yesterday." The official of Fujian Province nodded and stammered, "Maybe they learned that the adults were coming, and they were escorted by the adults, so they fled when they heard the news." ”
When he got closer, Boyan saw that the city was in a mess and there were obvious traces of a large army stationed outside the city, so he believed the other party's words, "Now that the Song army has retreated, then you should quickly pack up your troops and prepare to go south with me to conquer Quanzhou." ”
The officials in Fuzhou even claimed that they were, but they had just encountered a big battle, and the defenders in Fuzhou were already exhausted, and it was impossible to leave immediately, and it would take at least ten days and a half to recover, so Boyan had to stay in Fuzhou.
After five days, Boyan couldn't bear it anymore, he said that he would take the army away immediately, who expected that when he was arguing with the Fuzhou officials, he suddenly ushered in a messenger sent by Funing Prefecture, saying that the Song army suddenly launched an attack on Funing Prefecture from the sea, and the major general of Funing Prefecture was powerless to deal with it, so he came to ask Boyan for help.
Now that the enemy army has appeared, Boyan had no choice but to lead the army to set off again, and rushed north from Fuzhou to Funing Prefecture day and night, but when he arrived in Funing Prefecture, he found that the city had already been broken by the Song army, and the officers and soldiers of the Yuan Court in the city were slaughtered, leaving them with only an empty city.
So Boyan had no choice but to settle down in Funing Prefecture again, and sent someone to inform Fuzhou of the news, Ming They re-sent officials and soldiers, and just when they were busy with all this and preparing to go south again, another messenger sent an urgent document, "Lord Qiqi Boyan, the Song army fleet suddenly appeared in the sea off Pingyang Prefecture, and I am powerless to resist in Pingyang Prefecture, and I hope that Lord Boyan will send reinforcements as soon as possible!" ”
Boyan had to lead the army north again and return to Zhejiang to prepare to meet the enemy, but unfortunately after he finally arrived in Pingyang Prefecture, the Song army had long since disappeared.
The depressed Boyan rested in Pingyang Prefecture for two days, preparing to go south again, who expected that Wenzhou sent a messenger to say that the Song army appeared in the sea off Wenzhou again, Boyan almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty were simply tired of tossing him these days.
