Chapter 221(1/2)
"Pre-take the initiative?"
Everyone looked at Zhao Wei in confusion, "What does the fourth brother mean?"
Zhao Wei frowned, "I mean, why should I wait for the Mongolian Khanate to come? Although we are at a passive disadvantage in national strength, we may be more proactive in strategy."
Zhao Mengxi thought for a while, "It's right. It's really too passive to wait until the Mongolians come over to fight each other."
"And" Zhao Mengxi became serious, "Whether Kublai Khan or the commanders of several Khanate countries are not good at it. In terms of experience and level, it is only higher than us."
"I'm afraid that when someone comes, if we don't fight as we imagine, we will have no way out?"
"This is possible." Haiwa also said.
"If we don't say it far away, didn't we expect the timetable for Kublai Khan to advance to Fusang this time? We thought he would advance with all his might, but he didn't. He asked the prince and the King of Jin to arrive first, and it was obvious that he wanted to take steady steps. This was something we didn't expect."
"Who knows what new strategies do they have when several major Khanates gather together? So, we cannot be passive again and again."
Everyone listened and nodded, all agreeing with Zhao Wei's idea.
Zhao Wei didn't say nonsense and asked his servants to use the world map, which was much more detailed than Kublai Khan's. At least in Europe, Africa, and the eastern coast of North and South America, there was a rough outline.
Of course, this was added by Zhao Wei based on his own memory, and there was no accuracy at all.
Everyone asked him how he knew, and Zhao Wei also said perfunctorily that he got it from the native Caribbeans. But no one had the time to dig into the truth.
"Look!" Zhao Wei pointed to Nordic Europe first, "It has been confirmed that the Chincha and Ogedei coalition forces will go out to sea in Viking, and they should land here."
He pointed to the area on the east coast of Canada in later generations and said, "It's here. They have come here according to the Viking Pirates' route, but it's not a big threat to us, after all, it's still in the north."
"But" points to the location of the Mediterranean Sea.
"But, did Ilhan march from the Mediterranean and leave the Mediterranean, how did they go? Should they cross the ocean directly, or go north along the coast to Chincha Khan's Viking route?"
When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but become solemn.
Ma Xiaoyi said in a deep voice, "It would be okay if Ilhan took the Viking route. If he was really stupid, it would be troublesome!"
Of course it's troublesome. Because as long as you go a little further down, you will hit the east coast of the southeastern North America, which is very close to the Song Dynasty.
Haiwa exhale, "So, it's not supposed to, but it's necessary! We must start preparing. Even if we can't set up defenses on the entire east coast, we must at least know which path Ilhan is taking."
"Yes!" Zhao Mengxi sighed, "If only I could put some eyeliner in the Mediterranean, it would be better to seal this hole for him so that Il khan could not come out!"
He is talking about the Strait of Gibraltar.
If we can occupy the Strait of Gibraltar and carry the cannon over, we can block the entire Mediterranean.
But, I can only think about it.
First of all, I don't have that strength.
To defend North America, the Song Dynasty was already swallowing elephants by ants, let alone reaching out to Europe.
Secondly, even if the Song Dynasty had the strength to occupy Gibraltar, it would be necessary to wait for the Mongols and the people of Shenluo would have to explode first. That would be the life gate of Europe.
Wang Sheng, who had not spoken, looked at the map and finally said, "How should we take the initiative?"
As soon as this statement was spoken, everyone stopped, but no one spoke.
Because there is really nothing we can do.
The port on the east coast has not been built yet, and the fleet that was circling by has not reached the east coast yet. It is too early to say anything.
"Oh!" Zhao Wei sighed for a long time, "After all, he is not strong enough and he has too little chess in his hands."
Push the map aside, "Wait, don't worry! Wait until the navy on the east coast takes shape, and then wait until the surrounding native tribes are cleaned up. Then there will be room for you, and it will be no longer too late to think about it."
After saying that, I simply stopped mentioning this squall and asked someone to prepare the wine and food.
Everyone finally got together, and today we have to indulge in a while and never return home without getting drunk.
During the meal, Haiwa talked about his departure the day after tomorrow and reincarnated the Song Dynasty and brought the news of the transfer of Sichuan army out of Sichuan to Wen Tianxiang as soon as possible, but was stopped by Zhao Wei.
"Don't leave, it's time to rest."
Haiwa should be the most tiring among the few people in recent years. She almost never touches the ground and travels back and forth between the oceans.
Sometimes, sailor crew members can take turns to rest, but Haiwa cannot rest.
For example, last time, Zhao Wei and others were taken to Fusang, and the seafarers went ashore to rest, but he had to take the rotation of seafarers to continue going out to sea.
This time, the boat arrived on the shore today, and because there was no need to maintain the ship, it would set sail again the day after tomorrow. The crew changed a batch, but Haiwa still kept going.
This time, Zhao Wei really refused to let him go, "No matter how short you are, I don't need you. Let's take a break on the shore for a year!"
Haiwa was already three points drunk, but she shook her head.
"No! Fourth brother doesn't know, this is dangerous, this new route, we are not at ease to lead the team!"
"You have to be relieved if you don't worry!" Zhao Wei glared, "You know I am your fourth brother? Then listen to me, take a break for a year, and marry your wife."
"Ah?" Haiwa was stunned when she heard about marrying a wife, "How can we marry me if we say we can? We don't know where to find it."
Zhao Mengxi was unhappy, "Your fourth brother has found you all, the granddaughter of the son-in-law Yang Zhen! Grandma's, but it's not bad!"
After saying that, Zhao Mengxi even quenched her mouth, "Bah!"
""
He made Haiwa a little confused, why is he so generous?
Well, he didn't know that Master Rabbit was so resentful.
Originally, Zhao Mengxi was also a bachelor, and King Fu Zhao and Rui were also worried. While his son arrived in Fusang, he wanted to find a relative for him as soon as possible.
However, there are not many noble Jurchens of the right age in the court now. After all, they escaped, and few family members followed them.
I went to Fusang and had a group of children, but unfortunately, I was not weaned!
There are only two more suitable ones.
One is Chen Yizhong's daughter. However, she is almost the same age as Zhao Mengxi, and is in her twenties.
The other one is Yang Zhen’s granddaughter, fourteen, which is pretty good.
Oh, by the way, there is another Wang Yu.
But that was Princess Ning's best choice, and no one could move.
Zhao and Rui chose one of them, of course, Yang Zhen’s granddaughter. They went to find Empress Dowager Yang in person and asked him to help him talk to him, and Empress Dowager Yang also agreed.
But at this moment, Chen Yizhong jumped out in a humble manner.
"Yang Zhen married the sister of the late emperor (Duzong), Princess Ruiguo! His granddaughter is the granddaughter of the late emperor, isn't he Zhao Mengxi's cousin? Isn't this a bit inappropriate, right?"
Is it inappropriate?
It's not considered a matter of turning several bends!
But, is it appropriate?
If you are serious, it is really inappropriate. I just got a five-couple side.
If Chen Yizhong doesn’t mention it, it will be over. In an extraordinary period, who will make the stock out of stock?
However, if Chen Yizhong proposed it, there would be nothing he could do, and this matter would not be done.
As a result, Zhao Wei got a flaw and asked Haiwa to marry him.
Although Haiwa is not well-known, she is now the commander of the Navy Army of the Song Dynasty. After careful calculation, she is on par with Zhang Jue and is quite an official!
Moreover, he was in his early twenties and made countless contributions in several years. He was definitely a popular hot chicken in the Song Dynasty. He may be a bit arrogant with Yang Zhen’s granddaughter, but his granddaughter is more than enough.
The fourteen-year-old daughter-in-law just flew like this. It would be strange if Zhao Mengxi was happy. Of course, she would be a little sore.
At this time, Haiwa took the lead, but instead got angry with Zhao Wei.
"Zhao Laosi, don't laugh! Let me tell you, I feel like a mirror. This time it must be your idea for Chen Yuquan. I remember you!"
Zhao Wei smiled even more obscenely and teased Zhao Mengxi, "How do you speak? Chen Yuquan is also called you? That's what you call him Father-in-law, right?"
"Ah!" Zhao Mengxi was so disgusting.
Well, I have to call myself father-in-law. Because I have no choice, only the old girl from Chen Yizhong's family is left.
Zhao Mengxi had nothing to say, but it was miserable to think about it. He was a dignified prince of Fu, who made countless contributions and was about to be crowned king, but he ended up like this in his marriage.
Chen Yizhong! That old man is not very good at all. The old girl in her family might be a crooked girl!
But Haiwa felt a little embarrassed to get married? He never thought about this.
"Fourth brother, why not forget it, our business is not stable, what if"
"What are you saying?" Zhao Wei glared, "Your father, your brother-in-law died for me. I am your fourth brother again, so I am your father! The elder brother is like a father, do you understand?"
"You can't help this matter! Brothers, the country wants to save it, and the family cannot be left behind. Don't just be alone in the house of children and grandchildren, at least you have to keep it behind, right?"
"Don't be glorious one day, there is not even a person wearing mourning and carrying a banner."
He didn't give Haiwa a chance to refute, and looked at Zhao Mengxi, "You are older than me, so it's time to have some snacks. Do you want to hear some rumor?"
Zhao Mengxi said depressedly: "Say."
"Mr. Chen, the old girl, is not well circulated outside, and she says she looks bad."
