Regarding the changes in the system, Fan Zhuoyuan is not clear.

But no matter what, he has a huge breakthrough in strength now, but unfortunately he can't use the samurai on the Japanese side as a reference, and he can't judge what level he is currently at in the martial arts of Middle-earth.

After the army repaired Yanagawa Castle for two days, it left 1,000 soldiers and horses to garrison, and the rest of the men and horses all went to Dazaifu in Chikuzen Province.

The army marched across the Fukuoka Plain of Chikuzen Province, and in front of it was Dazaifu, the ruling stronghold of Chikuzen Province and even Kyushu Island.

Chikuzen Prefecture has two major plains, the Fukuoka Plain, the Chikuho Plain, and the Enga River, the second largest river in Kyushu, so agriculture is the most developed and the products are the richest.

And because of its close proximity to Hakata Bay, the fishing industry and commerce are also very developed, and the economy is prosperous.

This place is 250 miles from Tsushima Island, and Tsushima Island is only 250 miles from Goryeo, so it is easy to reach by sea boat!

The capture of this place not only provides an important window to the outside world, but also serves as the largest strategic base for the conquest of Japan.

Outside Dazaifu, Fan Zhuo looked at the seaside from afar, and sure enough, he saw that a defense of Yuankou that was dozens of kilometers long had been built.

Imagine that if I had landed from here, I am afraid that even I would have been passive and would not have been able to land under the Yuankou fortifications.

Some time ago, the Eastern Route Army hit its head here and broke its blood, and now I don't know how many people are buried at the bottom of the sea.

Of course, this is not something that Fan Zhuoyuan cares about, he came to the city gate, and Zhang Xi, the commander of the right-wing army, personally went out of the city to greet him.

"Young Marshal, congratulations on returning from the victory!"

Fan Zhuoyuan nodded slightly, as serious as ever, but his subordinates didn't care.

His facial paralysis strengthened the majesty in the hearts of many of his subordinates.

Under the leadership of Zhang Xi, the army settled into the city.

Zhang Xi reported: "Young marshal, recently, we have often sent people to search along the coastline when there is no wind, and found more than 6,000 survivors of the East Route Army, all of whom have been connected to the city. ”

Fan Zhuoyuan's eyes froze and asked, "Who are they?" ”

"Young marshal, please rest assured, most of them are ordinary non-commissioned officers, if it is a relatively high-ranking officer, we don't need to be ordered by the young marshal, we naturally know how to do things."

What to do? Of course, it was slaughtered and thrown into the sea! Do you want to save yourself from disgusting?

Fan Zhuoyuan nodded with satisfaction, "Since they are all ordinary soldiers, then disperse and arrange them in various troops, and treat them as your own!"

Whether it is the northern Han, or the Mongols or the Koreans, here, they all belong to their own people who have no roots.

They must rely on us to survive, and we also need their assistance to increase our strength, after all, I don't want too much support from the Mengyuan Imperial Court to give us. ”

Zhang Xi nodded, "What the young marshal said is true, if the Tartar Emperor sends his Mongol army over, then who is listening to here?" Is it possible to fire first and then talk about it? ”

"Hmph, if you really want to fight a fire, I'm not afraid of them.

However, the big guys, including me and my father's family, are still in Jiangnan at the moment.

We rough men who kill a thousand knives, people die and birds are facing the sky, and we will not die for thousands of years, but we are not worth anything.

But if you let the orphans and widows in the family be bullied, you will really be unwilling. ”

A group of cronies around thought so, and some people sighed: "This time the young marshal led the troops to fight, and the big guy was convinced from the bottom of his heart, in fact, under the command of the young marshal, he was indeed invincible, unlike those unlucky people in the Eastern Route Army."

I originally wanted to follow the young marshal to gain a foothold in this Japanese country, establish an overseas country of our Song people, endure humiliation, wait for the opportunity to counterattack the Central Plains, and restore our rivers and mountains! To repay the shame of Yashan!

But if the family members are not reunited in Jiangnan, I am afraid that many soldiers may not be able to keep one mind with us, and the Mengyuan Imperial Court will send a few more supervisors or civil officials and the like, and it will be even more difficult to act rashly. ”

Fan Zhuoyuan said in a deep voice: "I have my own way to solve this matter, it's a big deal to wait for the destruction of Japan, I will personally take the emperor's whole family to Dadu, take me as a hostage, and exchange the families of the soldiers for a reunion in Japan!" ”

Everyone was surprised, and Zhang Xi said: "Young marshal! If our Jiangnan Army leaves you, it is equivalent to a group of dragons without a leader, how can it be done? ”

"Kublai Khan is in power, don't think about it so much for the time being, then first stabilize the foundation, seek development through maritime trade, even if our generation can't do it, the next generation will have a chance, there is no hundred years of luck!"

Fan Zhuoyuan's eyes were deep and seemed to have seen through the development of history.

"Now I will inform the marshal of the news first, and ask him to come here to sit down, dispatch grain and grass, and deal with the inquiries of the imperial court.

We continued to prepare our troops, prepared our ships, and then took the two islands of Shikoku and China, and then entered Kansai, which was when we faced Kyoto, where their emperor was located. ”

Fan Zhuoyuan did not rush to attack, he also needed to prepare food and grass and military supplies, fighting a war is not as simple as two armies facing each other, a qualified commander must be very busy on weekdays.

Logistics, food, grass, and military resources must be properly arranged in every detail, and urban defense espionage and intelligence collection are also indispensable actions.

For the next period of time, in addition to his daily practice, he was busy with this matter.

At the same time, more and more Song people went to his castle tower to ask for a meeting.

Most of these Song people were scholars and doctors of the Southern Song Dynasty, and after the fall of the Song Dynasty, they went to sea by boat and took refuge in Japan.

Relying on the extreme admiration of the Song Dynasty culture by the Japanese of this era, they generally lived in Japan not badly, and it was enough to ensure a living by teaching Han culture to nobles and samurai.

There are often Japanese aristocratic girls who borrow seeds upside down, and they are very happy, so when they heard that Meng Yuan planned to go on an expedition to Japan, they were frightened three times a day.

Since the fall of the Song Dynasty, there has been a widespread saying in Japan that there is no China after Yashan, and many Japanese samurai and aristocrats here believe that they are the most orthodox cultural inheritors of China after its death from a foreign race.

The Song people who took refuge here were divided into two factions, one group was lost to the homeland, and the island country was close to Chinese culture, and Confucius once said that Yi Di would be Chinese if he entered China, so they were more willing to help the island people establish Chinese orthodoxy. actually believed in this argument and stood with them, such as Ye Xiuping was one of them.

The other faction disagrees with this argument, but people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and everything is based on reality, and they will survive first. As for culture or something, they always firmly believe that their roots are in China, and orthodoxy is me.

In the face of Meng Yuan's Eastern Crusade, these two groups of people were worried and frightened at first, but they had seen a lot of Meng Yuan's brutality, so they did not contribute less money to support the local army.

After seeing Fan Zhuoyuan's devastating strength, the actions of these two factions went to two extremes.

The faction that supports Yashan without China believes that Fan Zhuoyuan's attack is to help the gang to abuse, and the traitors are mainly serving their lives, intending to completely exterminate China, so most of the people surrendered to the shogunate after the fall of Kyushu Island and resisted.

There is also a faction that saw that most of Fan Zhuoyuan's 100,000 troops were Jiangnan soldiers, and they did not slaughter the city at every turn, so they considered going to contact it.

Fan Zhuoyuan accepted all those who were willing to work, but he was not in charge of government affairs, and he sent people to his father, who was presiding over the development of the country in Hyuga, and he arranged the affairs specifically.

He was still busy with military affairs and decided to destroy Japan as soon as possible.
