At Wen Tianxiang's insistence, Li You still did not regress, he took out the Zhejia army in Shizhen Fuzhou as an example, saying that this is an extraordinary period, Quanzhou and Zhangzhou can be regarded as the same border areas as Fuzhou, and the military power must be handed over to one person in order to deal with the current situation, and said that after the territory of the Great Song Dynasty expanded again, he would rearrange civilian officials to deal with daily political affairs for these two places, Wen Tianxiang reluctantly accepted.

Li You not only gave Mrs. Xu and Chen Hangyan two empty titles, but also promised them to transfer knives, guns and firearms to them from Liuqiu, and arranged for the generals of the righteous army to go to Liuqiu to study, these two deeply felt Li You's attention, and repeatedly assured their loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty, and were willing to fight to the death for the Great Song Dynasty to resist the Mengyuan army.

"Jun Shigong, now that Quanzhou and Zhangzhou are still recovered, it's time to attack Fuzhou next, right?" After discussing this matter, Zhang Shijie, who came from Quanzhou, couldn't wait to start aiming at the next target, in his opinion, as long as Fuzhou was taken, plus today's Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, Fujian Road would almost be equivalent to returning to the grasp of the Great Song Dynasty.

"The instigation of the capital army was defeated, presumably the defenders in Fuzhou City have already been ready to hold on, Fuzhou is not as small as Zhangzhou, it is difficult to capture for a while, if it drags on for a long time, presumably the Mengyuan army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang should be reinforced, and when the time comes, I am afraid that I will not be able to bargain." Li You did not agree with Zhang Shijie's idea.

"So what's next?" Zhang Shijie habitually wanted to refute, but when he thought that from the beginning of the Battle of Yashan, which battle did not develop as Li You expected, he had to swallow his words back and asked modestly, and the Chinese Tianxiang, Zheng He, Mrs. Xu, Chen Hangyan and others also looked at Li You in unison.

"What do you think are the advantages of my Great Song and Meng Yuan now?" Li You didn't answer the rhetorical question, he already had a plan in his heart at this time, but he still wanted to hear the thoughts of others first.

"The Mengyuan army was strong, Kublai Khan had no less than one million troops, and he accounted for more than ninety percent of the land in the world, so he could obtain a steady stream of finance and taxes; And my Great Song Dynasty now only has the land of the two provinces and the Liuqiu, and the soldiers and horses are only more than 50,000, and the finance and taxes are almost none. "Thinking of the severity of the current situation, the joy of recovering Quanzhou and Zhangzhou has weakened a lot.

"Meng Yuan is cruel, the people of the world dare to be angry but dare not speak, if our army starts the Northern Expedition, the people everywhere they go will definitely eat pot pulp to welcome the king." Wen Tianxiang saw that everyone was a little depressed, and hurriedly got up to boost morale, "Although Mengyuan occupies ninety percent of the world, but the people's hearts are in the Song Dynasty and not in the Yuan, at present, the rebel armies in various places continue to rise up, as long as my Great Song Dynasty can continue to recover the state and county as before, the rebel army in Mengyuan will only be more and more, and the world will sooner or later return to my Great Song Dynasty." ”

"What Wen Xianggong said is extremely true." Although they did not agree with Wen Tianxiang's words very much, there was some truth in them, Meng Yuan's notice was indeed not very stable, they only temporarily relied on force to subdue the people, as long as Li You and they could really continue to weaken Meng Yuan's forces, then his rule would continue to loosen until it collapsed.

"The Mengyuan cavalry is unparalleled in the world, but General Zheng's firearms battalion is enough to resist them." After seeing the power of firearms, Mrs. Xu became more and more convinced that this was the hope of the Great Song Dynasty to defeat the Mengyuan, "As long as my Great Song Dynasty establishes a new army based on firearms, the Wang Division will sooner or later overwhelm the Mengyuan cavalry." ”

New weapons will indeed bring advantages on the battlefield, didn't Zhu Yuanzhang defeat Meng Yuan with such an army and regain Shenzhou? As long as the manufacturing method of firearms does not fall into the hands of Meng Yuan, and the Great Song Dynasty continues to train the new army, then it is not impossible to finally drive Meng Yuan back to the desert, Li You nodded and expressed his support for Mrs. Xu's opinion, "It's just that firearms are built, and it takes time for new recruits to be trained and trained, so we can't wait for the new army to train before attacking Meng Yuan, right?" ”

"Now we have a place that is better than Meng Yuan." Receiving Li You's glance, Zheng He spoke, he got up and pointed to the map on the wall and said, "Meng Yuanguang has a continent, and the Mongolian cavalry is unparalleled, if we want to fight them on land, I'm afraid I won't be able to get much good now." ”

Zheng He had just defeated the instigation army under the city of Quanzhou, so no one would suspect that he was cowardly when he said this, Zhang Shijie, Wen Tianxiang, Yang Liangjie and others, who had suffered a lot from the Mengyuan cavalry, nodded again and again, as far as the current point of view, the land Song army was indeed weaker than the Mengyuan cavalry.

Then Zheng He pointed his finger to the sea, "On the other hand, the sailors, the elite of the Mengyuan sailors were buried in the Wa Kingdom and Yashan one after another, and there is no way to find a sailor on the sea that can cause us a little trouble, we can continue to attack the coastal states and counties by boat, if they encounter hard bones, they will be forced away for the time being, and they will not be able to chase them to the sea, if they encounter Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, they will attack on a large scale, and the counties will be handed over to the local rebels to take care of them temporarily. ”

"That's a brilliant plan!" Zhang Shijie couldn't help but praise without waiting for Zheng He to finish speaking, this is the weakness of attacking Meng Yuan with the strengths of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Song army has great hope of victory, "We wait for coastal harassment, Quanzhou and Zhangzhou will be much safer here, and Mrs. Xu and General Chen can take the opportunity to attack the surrounding prefectures and counties, so that the water and land will see how he Kublai Khan can parry." Of course, the final victory will depend on the new army. ”

Wasn't this how the Eight-Nation Coalition dealt with me in the first place? Da Ming did not suffer such a loss at the hands of the Japanese Kou, but Li You thought about more than that, he also had a bigger plan.

"As Zhang Shumi said, my Great Song Dynasty has the advantage of being a sailor, and he should attack the coastal counties of Mengyuan with long attacks and short attacks. Now that there is not much left of the Mengyuan army in Fujian, Quanzhou and Zhangzhou will not be in danger for the time being, and we will now go back to sea to continue to harass the coastal areas, so as to share some pressure for the two, and more importantly, to tell the people of the world that my Great Song Dynasty is still there, and my Great Song Dynasty still has the strength to inflict heavy losses on Mengyuan, and it is expected that there will be those good men who are unwilling to become barbarian slaves to respond. ”

"What the gentleman said is very true." The ministers were enthusiastically boiled by his words, and they all agreed with the plan of attacking coastal states and counties from the sea and land, and regarded it as a magic weapon for the Great Song Dynasty to defeat the enemy.

"Now, then, let's talk about the next attack on that city." After speaking, Li You walked to the front of the map and stretched out his hand to point to a large city in the north of Quanzhou.

"Walk in Lin'an!" All the ministers stood up, the status of the two cities of Lin'an and Bianliang in the hearts of the officials and people of the Great Song Dynasty was completely different, and seeing that Li You had set his goal here, they became excited again. (To be continued.) )
