"Liuqiu has been a wild land since ancient times, even if we go, what will we do for a living?" Deng Guangjian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, asked hesitantly, now there are still people around Yashan who supply them with food and grass, but they are helpless when they go to Liuqiu.

Hey, you better teach well, although Li You no longer has much hope for the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty, but the words of these people still disappointed him greatly, "There are many big ships of the Yuan army that have been captured by us, and there is quite a lot of grain and grass among them, Zheng... There is also food and grass in the general's fleet for our use; We can also bring the people who are willing to go with us to bring farm tools to Liuqiu, and the clearing of the wasteland should be completed before the grain is eaten. ”

After that, Li You no longer dealt with these civil officials, but turned his gaze to Zhang Shijie, "I also ask Zhang Shumi to help in this matter, Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng's army will be annihilated by us, with Meng Yuan's brutal nature, the people here will definitely be implicated, Zhang Shumi should inform the people of these one by one, and persuade them to go to sea with us, so maybe there is a way out." ”

"Please also rest assured that Zhang will definitely do it." Zhang Shijie replied that in his opinion, Lu Xiufu's behavior has been very different from the past, and he is deeply pleased with this.

Wen Tianxiang seemed to feel that he should not give up the land of the Great Song Dynasty easily, and gave some advice, but Li You knew that Wen Tianxiang's literary style and temperament may be the same for a while, but his actual political ability was far behind, at least he would never be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the revival of the Great Song Dynasty, so he was finally persuaded by kind words.

Empress Dowager Yang is concerned about Zhao Yu's safety, and now that she has a place to go, she is naturally willing to obey Li You's arrangement.

In the next few days, Zhang Shijie was busy gathering the people everywhere, and Li You and Zheng He carefully checked the remnants of the Song army, leaving them strong, eliminating the old and weak, and selecting the people who were willing to join the army to replenish the troops. At the same time, some adjustments were also made to the official arrangements of the Great Song Dynasty, eliminating those corrupt and stubborn officials who were too useless to be useful, and promoting young officials with sharp spirit to enter the center.

These actions inevitably caused dissatisfaction among many officials, but now the military power is in Li You's hands, and the grain and grass are also controlled by him, and the Empress Dowager Yang and Zhao Yu are even more disobedient to him, so these people have nothing to do for a while, so they can only watch Li You grasp the power, and even Wen Tianxiang has to temporarily serve as the secretary of the ministry according to Li You's wishes.

Ten days later, tens of thousands of people packed their bags, brought the old and the young gathered in Yashan, and filled Zheng He's treasure fleet, Zhang Shijie's Great Song Dynasty sailors and the ships captured from Zhang Hongfan.

Zheng He went to the Western Ocean seven times, and did not leave a record of anchoring Liuqiu, but among his fleet, there were captains who had encountered wind and waves and were blown to Liuqiu, and with the guidance of these captains who were familiar with the route, the group finally arrived at the northern end of the treasure island after several days of sailing, and found a port to go ashore one after another.

At this time, there were not many inhabitants in Liuqiu, and the members of this Great Song fleet numbered 100,000, and even if there were one or two small tribes, they did not dare to plunder its edge; Under Li You's arrangement, these people and soldiers began to cut down trees and build houses, open up wasteland and plant near the port, and those civil officials may not know how to deal with Meng Yuan, but they can still do these things with great effort to organize production.

Under Li You's supervision, wooden houses rose from the ground, pieces of land were reclaimed, and more accompanying craftsmen found coal mines and iron mines nearby.

When they saw the piece of land that had been reclaimed, many civil officials were desperate for Li You, of course, there were some people who couldn't see the situation clearly, and they began to think about how to take the land for themselves.

Li You immediately made arrangements for these lands, rented them directly to the people, and helped them solve the problem of farm tools and seeds, among which preferential treatment was given to those who had joined the army in their families, not only reducing taxes, but also giving priority to providing better farm tools and seeds, and for a while there were many more young people who wanted to join the army.

In addition to clearing wasteland and building houses, Li You did not neglect the construction of the army, he personally trained those soldiers of the Song Army, and with the bonus of "Liuru", these soldiers made rapid progress; At the same time, the people who were cultivating the wasteland in various settlements had to undergo the most basic military training, and the Great Song Dynasty was really weak for too long, and only in this way could their courage be reawakened.

After several months of busyness, the situation in Liuqiu finally settled down temporarily, and Kublai Khan also knew the news of the annihilation of Zhang Hongfan's entire army, and had already found out that the Great Song Dynasty court is now eastward to Liuqiu, but unfortunately the fleet of the Yuan army was either broken by the Great Song Dynasty with Zhang Hongfan, or died under the kamikaze during the eastward expedition to the Japanese state five years ago, so even if Kublai Khan was furious, there was no good way for a while, so he had to order to rebuild the ships to prepare for the attack on Liuqiu.

After hearing the news that the court of the Great Song Dynasty was still alive, people of insight who were unwilling to succumb to the brutal rule of the Mengyuan Dynasty in various places had their minds, and people continued to cross the ocean from the mainland to Liuqiu to defect to the Great Song Dynasty, and presented local information, hoping that the Great Song Dynasty could send troops******** Li You had already arranged for this, and without anyone coming, he inquired about the local situation with Zhang Shijie and Zheng He, and compiled records one by one for future needs.

On this day, Li You put forward his plan at the court meeting, "Ladies and gentlemen, now that the situation in Liuqiu has been initially stabilized, and the new army is almost trained, even if they can't compete with Zheng... The general's army is comparable, but it is also far superior to the former. It's time for them to go out on the battlefield and learn a lot. ”

"I don't know where Jun Shigong wants to attack?" Wen Tianxiang has been responsible for the education of the people these days, and he has lived an extremely fulfilling life, and his perception of Li You has also improved a lot, so he asked immediately after he finished speaking.

"The most important thing now is to crush the fleet that Meng Yuan is preparing to ensure that Meng Yuan's army cannot attack Liuqiu, so Zhang decided to attack here in the first battle!" With that, Li You walked to the map and pointed to a certain city in the western part of the Ryukyus. (To be continued.) )
