"Stay for those who are willing to stay, and get on board for those who are willing to go with us. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "After the matter of Dadu was dealt with, Li You ordered the heads of the descendants of the Golden Family and those high-ranking Mongolian officials to be sealed, and the army under his command was also ready to go, and before leaving, he looked at Fan Wenhu and other high-ranking Han officials who had blood on their hands and asked.

"The villain is willing to leave with the Prime Minister." Fan Wenhu hurriedly knelt down and begged, his troops suffered a lot of casualties during the siege of the city, and there was no way to deal with the Mongolian reinforcements who came straight to the capital, staying here was just a dead end, maybe there was still a chance to leave from the sea with Li You.

The rest of the people also have their own choices, most of them are willing to go south with Li You, and there are also a little self-conscious and some self-preservation power to try it, seeing that Li You has no intention of driving them all away, he hurriedly borrowed a few horses and galloped towards his own territory, in the hope of being able to win a way out with his troops, Li You is of course happy to see them create more trouble for the Mongols, and even promised that as long as they have needs in the future, he will definitely transport grain and grass weapons for them by sea.

When everything was ready, Li You, Zheng He, Fan Wenchao, Zhang Shijie and others quickly rushed east with a large army to the place where the fleet was, compared to when they came, there were many more captured Han officials, in addition, the Mark Polo from Venice also escaped a life, followed Li You to the sea, Li You also wanted to understand the current situation in the West through him, to see if he could find an opportunity, now the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is narrow, if there is no sea trade can not support it.

"When our family led the fleet to the West, we also heard in Tianfang, Kudumus and other places that there was a Venice city in Tessie, where there were many merchants and mountains of goods came and went, and it was one of the richest places in Tessie." Zheng He listened to Mark Polo's description of Venice and interjected, he was quite interested in Mark Polo's description of Venice, "At that time, I couldn't go to Venice to see the real face because of many problems, but I didn't expect to meet a merchant from Venice today." ”

"In the next year, I also planned to sail from Kudumus and sail to the East." Marco Polo heard the familiar place name from Zheng He's mouth, and couldn't help but be very happy, Kudumus is near today's Persian Gulf estuary, Marco Polo set out from Venice into the Mediterranean, and then crossed the Black Sea, through the two river basins to the ancient city of Baghdad in the Middle East, from here to the mouth of the Persian Gulf Hormuz can sail directly to China.

Here, however, they encountered robbers, and after some turmoil only Marco Polo, his father and uncle, and the rest of their traveling companions were nowhere to be found, and came to Hormuz, where they waited for two months, but did not meet any ships going to China, so they had to go by land; Traveling eastward along the Silk Road that Li You opened during the Han Dynasty, he came to Dadu five years ago, and gained the trust of Kublai Khan, stayed until this time, and then fell into the hands of Li You with his father and uncle.

"When you get to the south, I will order someone to prepare a ship for you, and you can return to Venice from the sea with oriental silk and porcelain, and then lead the merchants of Venice to the Great Song Dynasty to trade." Although it is not easy to complete such a long journey with current sailing technology, Li You still wants to give it a try.

Marco Polo went to the East to seek wealth, and now a new financial route appeared in front of him, of course, he was very happy, nodded his head again and again, and answered Li You's next questions, and drew a map of the West according to his memory, Li You and Zheng He took it and then modified it separately, so that the sea route to the West gradually became clear.

"Jun Shigong, I will arrive at the sea off Fuzhou in two days, and now Mrs. Xu is fighting with Boyan on land, should I go ashore to help?" On this day, Zhang Shijie hurried over and asked, there had been news from a small boat before, Boyan's army was approaching step by step, and Mrs. Xu was gradually exhausted.

"It seems that at this time, most of them have been burned and the news that Kublai Khan has been conferred the head has not yet reached Boyan's ears." Li You guessed that either the Mongols had lost their sense of proportion when they saw the tragic situation in Dadu, or the Mongolian nobles who were the first to enter Dadu had other plans in their hearts, otherwise Boyan would have led his troops back to Dadu long ago.

Since the Mongols didn't spread the news to the south, Li You didn't mind helping them, so as to relieve the pressure on Mrs. Xu as soon as possible, of course, it would be better if they could find a suitable opportunity to inflict a heavy blow on Boyan, so he immediately issued an order, "Pass the order, prepare to land in Fuzhou, let Fan Wenhu and them play the vanguard, if they can capture Fuzhou City, this prime minister will definitely show their exploits to the Queen Mother and His Majesty, and the court will have its own reward." ”

Although these people have no discipline, they still have some soldiers under them, but in this era, they are much more useful than those who can only read books, so Li You temporarily decided to give them a chance.

"The subordinate obeys." Zhang Shijie was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly went down to prepare for the attack on Fuzhou, and after experiencing the battle of Dadu, his last fear of the Mongols also disappeared, and he seemed to see the hope of the revival of the Great Song Dynasty.

So the whole fleet became busy, and the sailors began to turn slowly, and the huge fleet turned around the sea and gradually headed in the direction of Fuzhou. The horsemen on the ship began to gear up for the coming battle; Fan Wenhu and the others breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Zhang Shijie's order, since Da Song still has a place to use himself, then his little life may be saved.

Two days later, the sea outside the city of Fuzhou was densely packed with large and small ships, and the sails almost covered the entire sky, and the defenders in the city of Fuzhou saw this and hurriedly closed the four gates, driving the young men in the city to climb the city wall and prepare to meet the attack of the Song army, and at the same time they secretly prayed in their hearts, hoping that these Song soldiers would show their faces as they had done the previous times, and rush to other places; You must know that most of the defenders in the city have been taken away by Boyan, and they no longer have much strength to use to defend the city.

It's a pity that their thoughts this time came to naught, only to see one after another big ships docking, lowering the gangway, and countless Song troops coming down from the ships to surround Fuzhou City on three sides, leaving only the west gate for them to escape.

The defenders in the city saw that the Song army did not directly start attacking, but pushed out a young man dressed as a Mongolian nobleman from the formation, holding a brocade box and slowly walking towards Fuzhou City, what was he going to do? (To be continued.) )
