Chapter 17 Inferences from Bastards
Zhao Wei snatched the white spots, which made Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie feel a little amused.
He looked at Zhao Yuluo with some reproach, meaning: So many court officials are present, why did you bring him here?
Zhao and Luo were so hot that they watched.
Zhao Wei took all this and pushed forward, "Prime Minister Lu, don't blame my father. I asked him to bring me here. We really have an idea."
Lu Xiufu's face turned apart. Seeing that the bastard, Wang Ning didn't seem to be talking big, he endured his annoyance, "Wang Ning really has a plan?"
"Yes!" Zhao Wei nodded seriously, and stretched out two fingers, "And I have two ways, it depends on how Lu Xiang chose."
"Two!?" Lu Xiufu repeated the words, "Nanning King is really that way."
Well, don’t believe one, if you make two, why does Mr. Lu feel that it’s so unreal?
"Yes, it's true, two!" He pointed at King Lu, "He made two suggestions. Then I won't let him compete?"
puff!!!
This time, no one could hold it in, and laughed out loud.
Empress Dowager Yang even glared at Zhao Wei through the curtain, not disgusting, but a little appreciation.
You said this kid is still a foolish person. He is obviously dissatisfied with King Lu's snatching the credit, but he is a bit cute.
He urged: "If King Ning has a plan, then say it quickly, don't sway everyone's appetite."
When Zhao Wei heard this, he immediately turned a benevolent, "Just listen to the emperor's sister-in-law."
"Come!" He raised his chest and raised his head, and was about to show his feet, "Come with the map of mountains and rivers!"
Not to mention, it's really like that. Anyway, it's right that King Lu is not weak anyway.
When the map of mountains and rivers was placed in front of everyone, Zhao Weixian said, "The current difficulties are nothing more than ships and food. And these two things are actually right in front of you."
Everyone frowned, "In front of them?"
"Yes!" Zhao Wei said deeply: "Yuan Army!"
hiss!!
Everyone took a breath of air and thought to themselves that it was worthy of being the idea that King Ning came up with, and he was very brave!
Yuan army? Of course, the Yuan army has food and ships.
But the question is, does the Song army, which has been defeated for successive battles, still have the courage to face the Yuan soldiers?
At this time, everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Zhang Shijie.
In response to this, Zhang Shijie wanted to eat Zhao Wei.
Little bastard, put a trap for me?
Now it is not the question of whether Zhang Shijie dares to fight or rob food and ships, but whether the 70,000 soldiers in Qiongzhou can fight again.
Zhang Shijie cannot guarantee this.
So, Zhang Shijie had thought about putting his ideas on Ali Hague opposite the sea, but he just didn't dare to say it.
However, unexpectedly, Zhao Wei was exposed.
However, Zhang Shijie blamed Zhao Wei incorrectly.
Zhao Wei smiled and looked around everyone, "Hey, hey, hey? What are you watching the Taiwei do? You don't want the Taiwei to go to Ali Hague to fight to the death, right? Even if the Taiwei becomes a ghost, he will not let you go!"
Everyone was stunned. Didn’t they cause trouble for Ali Hague?
Finally, Zhao Wei, who had aroused everyone's appetite, pointed to a place in the map of the mountains and rivers, and said, "I'm talking about this place."
Following Zhao Wei's point, everyone surrounded him, and even Empress Dowager Yang stretched her neck, wanting to see where this bastard boy was pointing.
"Yazhou"
Zhang Shijie frowned, not understanding why, "What's so surprising about Yazhou?"
This Yazhou is not Yashan. Yashan is the Xinhui of Guangdong in later generations. Yazhou is the Sanya of later generations. They are all on the Hainan Island, but one is in the north and the other is in the south.
Lu Xiufu didn't quite understand why Zhao Wei pointed to Yazhou.
"There is no Yuan army in Yazhou, but there are many Dashi merchant ships docked."
Zhao Wei smiled slightly, "Now Yazhou is not only the Dashi merchant ship docking, but the Mongolian Yuan grain road."
"Grain Road!?" Everyone was shocked and blurted out, "King Ning, don't talk nonsense, how could it be the Mongolian Yuan Grain Road?"
In fact, this has to start with the roots of the Mongol Empire.
The Mongol Empire, which was widely circulated in later generations, actually refers to the Great Mongol Empire during the period of Genghis Khan and Mongge.
Mongolia was unified during that period, and no one could defeat Europe and Asia.
After Mengge's death, according to the tradition of the Mongolian Empire, the Mongolian Khan kings elected Mongge's younger brother Alibuge as the Mongolian Khan. However, Kublai Khan, who was equally strong, also competed for the Khan throne and finally achieved success.
This directly led to the division of the Mongol Empire, which is the four Khanate countries that were well-known in later generations.
Among them, the Ogedei Khanate, which occupies northern Xinjiang, the Chagatai Khanate, which occupies the Russian area of Central and North Asia, and the Golden Horde, which supports Alibug and Kublai Khan.
Only in Pakistan, the Illy Khanate in India supported Kublai Khan.
The consequence of such a situation is that the Yuan Dynasty located in the Central Plains completely cut off the ties between the Hexi Corridor and West Asia.
While the Song and Yuan War lasted for half a century, Kublai Khan's Yuan Dynasty had to deal with the siege and persecution of Ogedei, Chagatai, and the Jin Horde. At the same time, he had to attack small Southeast Asian countries such as Jiaozhi and Angkor.
Of course, the uprising of the Song people south of the Yangtze River never stopped.
In this way, it is difficult to meet such huge military consumption, such a huge amount of military consumption, which was taken over by the Jin Kingdom alone.
Of course, there were many important grain-producing towns in the Southern Song Dynasty, such as Sichuan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Guangdong and Guangxi, where they could be replenished.
However, the Mongols only realized that they were thinking too much.
Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi were both loyal to the Zhao and Song dynasties, and the righteous people rose up. The Yuan Dynasty not only had to spend a lot of troops to suppress the situation, but also to collect grain.
As for Sichuan, the resistance was basically extinguished.
Moreover, during the Southern Song Dynasty, the tax and grain production in Sichuan accounted for one third of the entire Song Dynasty, and the country of Tianfu was worthy of its name.
But don’t forget that Sichuan was also the most tragic battlefield for the Yuan Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty. The two sides had been tug-of-war for nearly half a century, and Mongolian Khan Mengge died at Diaoyu City.
Decades of swords and swords have caused the Kingdom of Heavenly Prefecture to be no longer the Kingdom of Heavenly Prefecture as it was back then.
At its peak, there were 12.5 million people, but by the time of the fall of the Song Dynasty, there were only 800,000 people living in Sichuan. How tragic?
In the empty Central Plains, the Yuan Dynasty could only seek external supply.
However, the food and wages from the Ili Khanate could not pass through the hostile Khanate, so there was a sea supply line from the Arabian Sea to the South China Sea.
"Master of the Land, Taiwei Zhang, and Ogedei cut off the Hexi region. The supplies from the Ilikhanate cannot pass through the inland and can only come from the sea."
"And this sea route is the best at the Ilikhanate. Don't forget that they have mastered all the sea ships of the Great Cannibal (Arabs), and will definitely use the Great Cannibal fleet to go far into the Central Plains."
"This" Zhang Shijie frowned and pondered.
What Zhao Wei said makes sense, but everything is speculation and there is no evidence.
"Isn't it a bit rash based on guessing alone?"
"Are you reckless?" Zhao Wei raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Yuluo.
"Father, think about it, why did Ali Hague let his father stay in Qiongzhou for several years but never attack? He is not a person who fears war."
"Didn't it?" Zhao and Luo were shocked.
Taking advantage of the idea provided by Zhao Wei, "I was also strange before. Ali Hague had many soldiers and a wide range of generals and did not lack sea boats, so why did he just siege and not attack? Is he afraid that Qiongzhou would be defeated and would not go to the sea, but instead hide in the mountains and dense forests?"
"Once Qiongzhou rebels penetrated into the mountains and forests of the island, they would be out of control. It is inevitable to touch Yazhou and block the food route."
Zhao Wei said again: "Why, then think about it again, why did the Li tribe on Hainan Island bent on the Yuan Dynasty and have a dilemma with the Song Dynasty?"
In the original history, Zhao and Luo did not die in defeat, but were tribal rebellion in Hainan.
"That's because the Oshima tribes can all gain benefits from the Great Food fleet."
When Zhao and Luo heard this, they believed Zhao Wei even more and stared at Zhang Shijie, "If that's what I mean, my son is inferring it for 80% of the past ten!"
""
Zhang Shijie and Zhang Shijie had a little toothache. Looking at Zhao Wei, he didn't know what to do.
If Zhao and Luo and Lu Xiufu said these inferences, Zhang Taiwei would definitely believe them. But it was a bastard, Ning Wang, you didn’t know which sentence he was a traitor, which sentence was true, and which sentence was false.
And, what are you going to do?
