Coming out of the mouth of the Qiantang River, Li You's army did not go far and went ashore again, taking advantage of the opportunity of Meng Yuan to gather troops to recover Lin'an, and went straight to Jiaxing Road, killing the few remaining Yuan soldiers in Haiyan Prefecture, and preparing to attack Jiaxing City inland, but when the Yuan army that hurried to Lin'an turned back to meet the battle, they retreated like a tide and returned to the sea. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

And just when they thought that the Song army had gone away, Songjiang Mansion in the north of Haiyan Prefecture was attacked again, although the inland Huating County was not attacked, but the coastal Yuan army and local officials were slaughtered by the Song army again, in addition to the Song army also left enough weapons and food for the local rebels, these people harassed everywhere, and the tossed Yuan army was exhausted.

"General Zheng revisited his hometown, I don't know how he feels?" After attacking Songjiang Mansion, Li Youyou commanded the army to continue north into the territory of Pingjiang Road, swimming up the Yangtze River, but it was also the starting point of Zheng He's voyage to the West.

"It's really sad that the country is a good country, but it is occupied by barbarians." Zheng He shook his head and sighed, the banks of the Yangtze River at this time were far less prosperous than he had seen at the beginning.

"This generation can only take advantage of the weakness of the Central Plains to steal the opportunity, and it will not last long." If it is according to normal development, I am afraid that it will take decades for Zhu Yuanzhang to drive the Mongolian Tatars out of the Central Plains, but now that Li You has come here, then Kublai Khan will not be able to sit in peace and stability so easily, and Li You will have to turn him upside down.

Pingjiang Road and Songjiang Mansion divided the later Shanghai into two parts, and Zheng He's former starting point for going to the West Liujiagang is in the territory of Pingjiang Road, which is also an important shipbuilding base of the Yuan Court, and the shipping grain of the Yuan Court also enters the sea from here, and reaches Dadu in the north, where enough shipbuilding craftsmen have been accumulated, and it is precisely because of this that Zheng He in later generations selected Liujiagang as the shipbuilding base of the treasure ship, which is more important than Lin'an Mansion in Li You's view.

Now that Quanzhou has been occupied by itself, and the ship craftsmen in Guangzhou have been brought to Liuqiu, if the craftsmen of Liujiagang are swept away and the shipbuilding equipment is destroyed, then Mengyuan will only have one shipbuilding site left in Goryeo, and the fleet of the Song army can maintain a strategic advantage for a longer time, so this place must not be let go.

When the ships were approaching Liujiagang, the Yuanting sailors still wanted to come out to meet the enemy, but as soon as they saw the number of ships far superior to their own, they turned their bows and fled to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River without saying a word; However, Zheng He had already prepared, lined up the clippers at the front of the fleet, coupled with the long-range attack of the artillery, it didn't take much time, this little sailor either died at the bottom of the sea, or quickly dropped the sail and surrendered, and the gate of Liujiagang was open to the Song army.

The officers and soldiers of the surrendered Yuan Court Naval Division were put into the cabin, and then the cannons were set up and bombarded the port for a while, driving away the pitiful Yuan army on the dock, and then Zheng He's soldiers quickly rowed small boats to land, and in this way, without many twists and turns, another important shipbuilding base of the Yuan Court fell under the control of the Great Song Dynasty.

Surrounded Liujiagang, carefully screened the Yuan Court officials and supervisors who stayed in the town, and let those shipbuilders identify them, these craftsmen had long hated the officials and supervisors who oppressed them, and now Li You supported them, and some bold people stood up to respond, but more people still cowered and did not dare to step forward.

However, it was enough to have these talents, after picking out those Yuan Court officials, overseers, and some unpopular hooligans and bullies on weekdays to be executed, Li You began to command the soldiers to transport all the useful materials in Liujiagang to the ship, with these things, the speed of expansion of the Great Song Naval Division will be greatly increased in the future, and they will be able to transport more troops to carry out landing operations in the future.

It's nothing after the things are loaded, even these skilled craftsmen Li You don't plan to let go, those craftsmen who have identified the officials of the Yuan Court naturally know that if they stay here, they will definitely not end well after the Yuan army returns, plus there are all kinds of benefits in it, so they simply packed up their things and prepared to go to Liuqiu with them.

But more people are still unable to leave their homeland, and would rather risk being punished by the Yuan Court to stay in Liujiagang, according to their ideas, no matter which imperial court always needs someone to build a ship for them, right? At least there will probably be no problem with the safety of your own life.

Time was urgent, and Li You couldn't care about patient persuasion, so he simply sent his soldiers to search door to door, and stuffed all the shipbuilders in Liujiagang onto the ship to accompany those captured Yuanting sailors. Anyway, as long as they arrive at Liuqiu, they will still work for the Great Song Dynasty, at least no one will threaten their lives in the Great Song Dynasty, and the treatment that Li You gives to shipbuilders is far better than here.

With the materials and craftsmen of Liujiagang, the fleet could no longer attack other states and counties, so from the mouth of the Yangtze River, the fleet sailed directly in the direction of Liuqiu, and after a long journey, they finally returned to the long-lost port.

Wen Tianxiang and other ministers heard the news and hurried to the dock to greet them, Li You entrusted the craftsmen and materials to Wang Jinghong, and then followed Wen Tianxiang and them to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager Yang and the little emperor Zhao Yu, and told them about what happened after they came out of Lin'an Mansion.

"If it weren't for Lu Xianggong, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to recover the bones of our ancestors and ancestors so far." Empress Dowager Yang wiped her tears and thanked the reason, she thought that she would not be able to take one or two states and counties this time, but she didn't expect that Li You not only recovered Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, but also broke through Lin'an Mansion, welcomed back the bones of the ancestors and ancestors, and grabbed countless food and materials from coastal states and counties, and so many young people came to Liuqiu to ask for the army, she seemed to see the hope of Zhongxing in the Great Song Dynasty.

Maybe when you grow up, you can return to Lin'an, right? She didn't dare to think about recovering Tokyo Bianliang now, but Lin'an seemed to have such a possibility.

Praise Li You for his good words, and give some knighthoods, honors, loose ranks and other rewards, and feast the ministers in the palace to celebrate Li You's merits in going to sea. ”

"Well, it takes time for ships to be repaired and firearms to be replenished." Li You nodded and said, in addition, he didn't know if those civil officials were still obedient during the time he left, and these also needed to be dealt with, "When everything is ready, Weichen plans to lead the troops to attack again."
