Chapter 40: Kublai Khan, What About My People? under
Zhang Shijie began to act, and the entire coastal area of Fujian was immediately stirred, even if Zhang Shijie's sea ships quickly changed from ten to five.
However, there is still a steady stream of people who have been migrated to Diaoyutai by Zhang Shijie.
And this moment attracted Meng Yuan's attention.
Although Meng Yuan was not good at managing the country, Meng Yuan was not a Mongol Empire after all, he was a relatively complete dynastic system.
Under the household of the people, it is natural to be able to perceive the loss of population.
In the beginning, no one cared about that.
But when the population of villages along the coast disappeared one after another, and when the rumors of the Great Song Dynasty reappeared, Meng Yuan couldn't calm down.
The disappearance of people is still a trivial matter, and the most important thing is the news of the Great Song Dynasty.
This made all the officials of Meng Yuan nervous.
For more than a year, it is no secret that the Great Song Dynasty disappeared directly into the sea, and then Zhang Hongfan's bizarre death made the Great Song Dynasty clothed in a mysterious veil.
Moreover, Meng Yuan, as the first barbarian to completely enter the Central Plains, made all Meng Yuan's officials unsure.
Soon, Meng Yuan officials began to investigate, and at the same time, the news was quickly transmitted to Dadu.
And it was clear that their probing was of no avail.
At the speed of the scissor sailboat, when Meng Yuan reacted, the scissor had already left the place with the people loaded.
With the passage of time, Zhang Shijie's scope is not only on the coast of Fujian, but also on the entire East China Sea, from Shandong to Guangdong, all the coasts are in his sights.
In addition, at this moment, Kublai Khan had already begun to prepare for the construction of the canal, and in this case, there were undoubtedly more displaced people.
It will be easier for the people to win over.
And under Zhang Shijie's almost all kinds of people, the people along the entire Mengyuan coast are rapidly decreasing.
At the same time, the news began to pass inland like the wind.
It may not be long before even people from beyond the coast will be dragged over.
Of course, there is also a certain risk in this, once Meng Yuan reacts, he will inevitably use a large army to encircle and suppress.
But Zhang Shijie is not worried at all, the speed of the flying scissor sailboat makes any encirclement and suppression a joke.
As long as Meng Yuan came, they drilled into the sea, and Meng Yuan could only look at the ocean and sigh.
In this case, the force is naturally greater.
Especially when the first people were sent to the Americas, there were twenty more scissor sailing ships from the Americas.
With the addition of 20 flying scissor sailboats, Zhang Shijie will undoubtedly be able to transport more people.
He even occupied several islands from Diaoyutai to Ryukyu and used them as transit points, while thirty seagoing ships were redistributed.
Ten of them were used to transport people, five were used for fishing, and five were used to travel back and forth between the Americas and China.
Shipments have surged again.
The number of people transported from Mengyuan every month even exceeded 50,000 at one time, and although it declined later, it was enough to ensure the transportation of more than 30,000 people every month.
So much so that in less than half a year, Zhang Shijie transported more than 500,000 people from Mengyuan.
That's not a low number.
Not to mention that such values are still increasing.
Once the second group of seagoing vessels arrives, it will be enough to double again.
And at this moment, on the side of Dadu, Kublai Khan couldn't sit still.
At the beginning, when the news came, Kublai Khan only felt that there was a high probability that he was chasing after the wind and shadows, and he had not appeared in the Great Song Dynasty for more than a year.
According to legend, the sea ships and official houses of the Great Song Dynasty have long been swallowed by the sea.
But one after another battle reports appeared, but Kublai Khan couldn't sit still at all.
"Bump!"
"Who can tell me what the hell is going on!"
"There are 2,000 fewer households in Fujian, 1,200 households in Shandong, and 1,700 households in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, which of you can tell what's going on?"
"And the Great Song Dynasty, didn't you say that the Great Song Dynasty has all been destroyed on the sea, why is it coming out again now."
The sound of the teacup breaking shook the entire hall, and Kublai Khan's eyes couldn't help but burst into flames at this moment.
But in the whole hall, there was a pin drop, and no one spoke.
Many people were even trembling.
The person in front of him is not the former Great Khan, but the Son of Heaven, and even the Mongolian nobles dare not anger him at this time.
"Check, check for me!"
"Xie Cheng, Zhang Xi!"
After venting his anger, Kublai Khan looked directly at the two figures at the end of the crowd.
"The minister is here!"
Hearing his name, the two figures quickly stepped forward and saluted.
"General Xie Cheng Longhuwei, Tongzhi Privy Council, Shang Protector, Zhang Xi, from now on, I will be appointed as General Zhaoyong and recruit envoys, you two will go south today, be sure to investigate this matter thoroughly for me, if it is really the remnants of the Song Dynasty, I need to see their heads."
Kublai Khan's eyes had a cold light, and his cold voice resounded in the hall.
"Yes!"
Xie Cheng, Zhang Xi's expression tightened, and he hurriedly saluted, not daring to have the slightest slackness.
Soon, the entire Meng Yuan began to act.
Xie Cheng and Zhang Xi led a number of sea ships from Shandong and began to search.
Even at this moment, Meng Yuan's preparations for an expedition to the island country stopped, and he began to make every effort to investigate the "remnants of the Great Song Dynasty"
Xie Cheng, Zhang Xi, as the person in charge, is undoubtedly extremely conscientious.
Although they are Han Chinese, as Han people in the north, they have long recognized the rule of Meng Yuan.
But obviously, if you want to find Zhang Shijie and others, you can't do it with dedication.
Even if the two mobilized more than 1,000 sea vessels, it would not help at all.
This is more suitable for ships traveling on rivers and lakes, and it is obvious that there is a huge problem in driving at sea, and in less than a month of searching, more than 100 ships have been lost.
But the shadow of the Great Song has not been found.
Not to mention attacking.
"Master Xie, it can't go on like this!"
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for our ship to find the so-called Song people in the full sea, and even if we do, our ship will probably be damaged."
It was another day's driving on the deck, and Zhang Xi couldn't help but speak.
"Master Zhang, what do you think?"
Xie Cheng came back to his senses after deep thought, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Zhang Xi.
"Master Xie, aren't those Song people picking up the people, we just need this, that!"
Zhang Xi spoke, his eyes flashing with a twinkle.
Listening to his words, Xie Cheng's expression was puzzled at first, and then he couldn't help revealing the same light.
"If it works, then do it!"
Liang Jiu Xie Cheng nodded slightly and agreed directly.
With Xie Cheng's consent, Zhang Xi soon began to change his original form, and the search was stopped, and a large number of personnel began to be dispatched.
