Chapter 44 Don't Go Back Again
Zhao Wei is rarely leisurely, he feels that everything is developing in a positive direction.
Now he has a small cannon in his hand and the freshly released Fuxing.
As long as he is given time, he will have larger cannons and more advanced warships in the future. In addition, the high-yield crops in the Americas, the united military and civilians of the Song Dynasty, and more and more reserves of gold and silver.
Maybe it takes less than ten years to fight back and come to the Central Plains again.
However, all this was shattered by the smoke from the north.
Although the Seattle outpost was too nervous, the ship was not the Yuan army, but the secret spies who stayed in the Song Dynasty who followed the story.
However, it is enough to mobilize the nerves of everyone in Song Ting.
On New Year’s Eve.
Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie, Zhao and Luo all gathered at Xinyashan Port.
In fact, almost all the military officials of the Song Dynasty gathered here.
Because people from Central China will enter Hong Kong today.
As for why Zhao Wei’s territory came?
The reason is very simple. Luohezhou where the imperial guards are located has no port, which is close to Zhao Wei. In addition, Xinya Mountain itself is a natural port with deep water and shallow waves, so naturally the Royal Port of the Song Dynasty is located here.
Zhao Wei was also waiting anxiously among the crowd.
Like all my good friends, the American Song Dynasty developed quite smoothly, but no one knew what happened to the Song Dynasty, which was far away from the ocean, after the Song court left.
Now that the secret searches are coming, they are very happy to bring news from the Song Dynasty.
Of course, besides joy, Lu Zhang and others were more nervous, not knowing whether it was good news or bad news.
I waited until dawn and finally saw four ships slowly coming on the horizon.
My husbands didn't care about that much and rushed to the dock, looking forward to it.
"Fourth Brother." Ma Xiaoyi looked at the ship entering the port and leaned into Zhao Wei's ear, "Are you guessing it good news or bad news?"
Zhao Wei frowned, "Whether it is good news or bad news, it is good news."
Mr. Ma didn't understand, but after thinking for a long time, he was still confused and complained: "The fourth brother and Mr. Zhang don't learn well, and they start to talk.
Zhao Wei glared at him and explained: "It doesn't matter whether it is good or bad news. The most important thing is to have connections with the Central Plains."
This is the biggest disadvantage of choosing to come to America. It is too far away and the communication is extremely inconvenient.
"Oh." The second master understood, "That's right! I heard from the Prime Minister Lu that even if no one comes from the Song Dynasty and the New Year is over, he will send someone back to contact us. Is this the reason?"
"Yes." Zhao Wei perfunctorily squeezed into the crowd.
Because the ship has stopped, someone has got off the boat
The person who came was Xie Ming, the deputy general of Commander Ran Anguo of the Song Dynasty, brought ten ships to sea. Unfortunately, he was not as lucky as Zhao Wei and the others. He encountered storms and sank six ships.
Fortunately, according to the approximate route Zhao Wei gave them before leaving, he actually found it.
What Xie Ming brought was almost all bad news, but it was very bad to use.
"The people of Yiren from both sides of the country were a little discouraged when they learned that the emperor had left. In addition, the Yuan court took the opportunity to promote it and said that the Zhao family abandoned the Song people and fled overseas, which led to a further decline in morale.
Many rebels could not see hope, either scattered or were wiped out by Ali Hague. In just a few months, Jiang Yu was the only one who was alone in Deqing Mountain to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. The rest of the world was "
Jiang Yan is Jiang Yan's brother, the eldest son of his uncle Jiang Wanli, and the head of the twelve twelve vegetarians in the Jiang family.
When everyone heard this, they were shocked, "Only Mr. Yuzhai is left alone?"
You should know that although it was difficult to leave the Song Dynasty, the people of Yi people from both sides of the country were still devoted to the Song Dynasty. More than a dozen Yi troops bloomed everywhere to support the Song court.
Why did it decline so much after only a year of outbreak?
"Also," Xie Ming continued, "Duke Lushan, Duke Jun Yu, Duke Bo Hou and his family were all delivered to Dadu by the Yuan people. Emperor Yuan wanted to surrender to the three of them, but all of them were unparalleled and righteous. The news received by the villain, Emperor Yuan had already developed a desire to kill Lushan and Duke Jun Yu to intimidate the world."
Duke Lu Shan is Wen Tianxiang, Duke Jun Yu is Zhang Jue, and Duke Bo Hou is Wang Yinglin.
The first two were not only the ministers of the Song Dynasty, but also the spiritual sustenance of the Song people.
Wang Yinglin had a transcendent position in the literary world, and it was not an exaggeration to be called the leader of the literary world of the Song Dynasty, along with Wen Tianxiang and Xie Dieshan. He is a role model for scholars.
When Lu Xiufu heard that Emperor Yuan was going to execute Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Jue, he cried and closed his eyes, and his old fists were clenched.
"It was Xiufu who harmed Mr. Lu Shan! If I hadn't had the disagreement with Wen Lu Shanzheng and had transferred him to lead the rebel army on the road, how could he end up today!"
After hearing this, Jiang Jin and others rushed forward to comfort him, "What's the use of saying this? Wen Xiang has been prepared to seek righteousness and benevolence, and he will not blame you."
"Oh!!" Zhang Shijie also sighed, "I am sorry for Zhang Junyu, who is not a talented man! I have been defending Bashu for more than 30 years and have never defeated a hundred battles. I have not allowed Yuan soldiers to advance. If he comes to the general leader to lead military affairs, the Song Dynasty would not worry about restoring the country for a long time!"
Zhao Wei, who was standing beside him, was frowning secretly, Zhang Jue arrived in Dadu?
In the original history, Zhang Jue was captured in Chongqing and committed suicide on the way to Dadu. He never surrendered to the Mongolian Yuan until his death.
And in today's history, Zhang Jue is still alive, which means he saw the letter!
Yes, before leaving Song, Zhao Wei once asked Ran Anguo to send someone to send a letter to Zhang Jue based on the memories in his mind that he didn't know where he came from. He told him not to seek short-sightedness and live in vain. The signature was also stamped with Zhao Bing's imperial seal.
It seems that Zhang Jue not only received it, but also followed the letter.
However, Zhao Wei didn't expect that he could still die?
Several husbands were mourning and pitying, and Zhao Wei couldn't stand it. He rushed to Xie Ming a few steps, "Is there any other news?"
He wanted to read this article quickly.
"Yes!" Xie Ming nodded, "The villain came here and went through all dangers just to tell the officials."
"What do you tell the official?"
"Don't think about going back, you can't go back anymore! Moreover, you have to make plans early. The Yuan army can come in as soon as five years at a time!"
"What!?" Zhao Wei frowned, "So quickly?"
In Zhao Wei's judgment, it is impossible to be so fast!
Because in addition to the vast ocean, there is also a barrier that can give the Song Dynasty a chance to breathe for several years.
That's Japan!
When the Yuan Dynasty wanted to chase America, Japan was a gap that he could not cross.
With current navigation capabilities, Japan must be used as a springboard and supply transfers to cross the ocean.
However, no matter now or in the future, the Mongols never conquered Japan.
In the original history, the Yuan Dynasty fought against Japan twice.
The first time was 1274, six or seven years ago, the Yuan Dynasty used the Korean Peninsula as its rear and sent 25,000 troops. Half of them were Goryeo, half of them Mongols, and a small number of Jurchens and Han people, and the soldiers were directed to the Three Islands of Japan.
As a result, this expedition of less than 30,000 people obviously underestimated the Japanese's combat power, and they suffered losses and returned home in a great defeat.
Afterwards, Kublai Khan didn't know what he thought, and felt that the Japanese had seen the strength of the Mongolian army and sent an envoy.
It means that your place is too small and I don’t like it, just playing with you. As long as you surrender, you can avoid war.
Kamakura Shogun Hojo Toshizo is also tough. How come we have learned well from the Song Dynasty and have all been disturbed by your Mongolian barbarians. How dare you come?
He directly clicked the envoy.
How could Kublai Khan bear this? He wrote down this account for Hojo Toshizo. After he got rid of the Song Dynasty, he would come back to deal with you!
Therefore, in the original history, in 1281, two years after the demise of Zhao Song Yashan, Kublai Khan raised 200,000 troops to attack the Japanese islands again.
As a result, it was defeated again.
And it made the injury worse. A typhoon was encountered, and 200,000 people were captured by 200,000 people, and most of them were thrown into the sea.
In fact, there is a reason why Japanese samurai are good at fighting, but more of them are Kublai underestimating the enemy.
Without sufficient preparations or even considering support supplies, I want to give Japan a wave of flow.
Zhao Wei felt that in 1281, the Yuan army had not started to attack Japan. Even if the Song Dynasty fled, there would be three and four attacks after the second attack failed. It would have to be prepared. The Song Dynasty would at least have a long time to breathe.
However, what he did not expect was that because the Song Dynasty ran away, the timeline of history was already in chaos.
The Yuan Dynasty attacked Japan in the second time not in 1281, but in the summer of 1279, which was a month after the Song Dynasty left the port from Hokkaido.
This is the thing. It set sail from Penghu on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Song Dynasty. It is impossible for a long voyage of more than 100,000 people to show any sound of the wind.
As soon as he left here, the Yuan army already knew about the news about the Song Dynasty Beihang.
On May 15th, Kublai Khan urgently ordered Zhang Hongfan, who was resting in the Yashan Sea, to chase him.
Zhang Hongfan was robbed by Su Liu Yi because of his food and grass, and he was unable to reorganize his army. He did not advance north until early June. It was already July when he chased him to Japan, and Da Song had already left.
However, Hojo Toshizo no longer cares about that.
This guy is definitely a man. If Zhang Hongfan's navy does not dock, Hojo will ask the boat to go out to sea to fight.
Zhang Hongfan chased after him for a month, and was short of supplies and had no intention of fighting, so he let Hojo stop him from the sea off Japan. Finally, he retreated to North Korea and waited to take the orders of Emperor Yuan.
This completely aroused Kublai Khan and vowed to slaughter Japan and wipe out the remnants of the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, Zhang Hongfan's 70,000 naval troops joined forces with the north and south armies, with a total of 300,000 soldiers and transferred to the Central Secretariat Province and the Jianghuai Province to countless silver and grain to serve as military supplies.
He also conquered Goryeo, with 10,000 civilian ships along the northern coast for logistical purposes.
A large-scale attack on Japan.
"In addition to carrying hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the three islands of Japan"
