Zhao Yu knows that fighting is the most money-burning game, and now Kublai Khan, who is sitting in the Central Plains and Jiangnan, is unable to make ends meet and has to rely on robbery to live. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info before he only knew that the sea trade made money, but he didn't know that the profits were unimaginably high, and this year's repeated robberies of Meng Yuan to get rid of merchants, coupled with a large number of inland merchant ships came to Qiongzhou to trade, he finally knew that an ordinary porcelain bowl was sold from the Great Song Dynasty to Central Asia, Europe and Africa, and the price was equivalent to gold.

With such a large profit from sea trade, people can also sacrifice for it. The location of Qiongzhou is choking the sea route to the South and Western Oceans, and their blockade has caused heavy losses to the merchants who have been freed, not only a year in vain, but also to take the capital, these people are the tools of the Mongolian princes and nobles to collect money, if they can't make money, they will become outcasts. Therefore, this route is also related to their net worth and life, so the merchants who were cut off from the financial route wanted to lobby Kublai Khan to destroy Qiongzhou, but the Great Khan did not dare to be interested in it, but turned to Japan.

If the hard ones don't work, there is only the soft ones, and there is no secret that everyone is an old Chinese medicine doctor, and the merchants naturally understand that the illegal salt that flooded in the south of the Yangtze River comes from Qiongzhou, and the food, livestock, copper and iron and other urgently needed things needed in Qiongzhou are smuggled from the inland. In the past, they didn't look down on these small businesses and didn't interfere, but now they can't, their necks are stuck, and they have to use this as a bargaining chip.

Since everyone is a routine, it is not difficult for the merchants to get in touch with Qiongzhou, and they offer to pay twice as much tariff, hoping to exchange for a sea route through Qiongzhou. Zhao Yu already knew that these businessmen had the ability to see the sky with their hands and eyes, and these people were like those big chaebols in modern times, who not only had hundreds of millions of dollars, but could also influence national policy through the agents they financed, and even wage wars to remove obstacles and make a fortune.

Therefore, Zhao Yu knew that he would attack the state and plunder the government, and the commander and kill the generals might not provoke Kublai Khan to attack Qiong in a big way, but cutting off the financial route of these people might make them embarrassed and angry to talk about all parties, and really fight with him, thus losing the precious opportunity for development. However, thinking that they could make a profit of tens of thousands of yuan with a shipload of goods, they only gave a small amount of money and wanted to make a fortune, and they were really unwilling.

And this kind of bargaining thing Zhao Yu can't do it in person, and he can't do it in the name of the official, so he let the affairs bureau be responsible for contacting this matter, and Zhuang Shilin presided over it behind the scenes, after all, the best person to deal with businessmen is still businessmen. His bottom line was that the merchants had to pay 30% of the value of the goods for the road, or in exchange for an item of equal value, and he could agree to let them go.

Zhuang Shilin's offer price must not be less than 50 percent, but the representatives of the merchants insisted on paying only the multiple of the current Qiongzhou tariff, and would never increase the price, because the gap between the two sides was too natural to talk about. This made Zhao Yu feel very strange, how could a person who wanted food have such a tough confidence, and after some inquiry, he realized that Huan Tuo had won a big victory in Annan, Chen Chao asked for surrender, and they were preparing to return to the division. So they understood that these guys were ready to persuade Huan to attack Joan if they couldn't get along, and completely pulled out the nail.

Zhao Hao figured out the reason and asked Zhuang Shilin to stop contacting the representatives of the merchants, and secretly happy that he could knock them again this time. Huan Tu, who had high hopes, accepted Chen Chao's invitation to surrender, but these people didn't know about the things behind him?

After receiving the order of the king of Zhennan, the instigated capital, biting Qi, Liu Gui and others gathered their headquarters and left the Buddha oath camp, and turned north by land and water, and the war of the Yuan Dynasty against the city ended in vain. The army of the capital army entered Annam through Uri, north of the city, and passed through Buzheng Prefecture and other places, attacking invincible all the way, defeating the Jiaozhi army that blocked along the way, and soon joined up with Dehuan. Tuhuan instigated the capital garrison for a long time, and it was more than 200 miles away from the big camp.

Chen Jiasheng and Emperor Ren saw that the Yuan army was chasing urgently, so they resorted to the trick of hiding their heads and brains and hiding their traces, on the one hand, let King Chen's imperial boat sail to the north of Yushan), trying to lure the pursuing Yuan army to the south; On the one hand, he sent Chen Yang, the Marquis of Zhongxian, and Ruan Rui, the doctor, to the big tent of the king of Zhennan to ask for peace. Although the method of sending the envoy to delay the teacher is really not new, but this time Chen Shengzong is still willing to spend some capital, and he sent his close attendant Tao Jian to give his youngest sister Princess Anzi to the king of Zhennan to take off the joy.

Emperor Chen, Chen Renzong and his son abandoned the capital and fled south in embarrassment, coupled with the defeat of the official army of the Chen Dynasty, so the army was unstable, and the princes and princes thought about each other. Chen Chaozhao, the king Chen Yiji, the upper Fang Zhaohou Chen Rong, Wen Shaohou Chen Xiu, and the courtiers Fan Judi, Li Yan, Zheng Long, etc., all moved their families to reduce the yuan, and they were happy. For the Mongol prince, this was the only surprise in the fruitless conquest of Vietnam that he commanded.

I got a beautiful woman, but I don't understand that since Chen Rixuan even gave it to his own sister, why can't he come to perform the ceremony of bowing down and being a minister? However, Rong Huan did not understand that the rainy season in Annam had arrived, and the epidemic epidemic in the Yuan army gradually fell into disadvantage, and Tuhuan had to order the withdrawal of the army. And Annan's ministers, who had no intention of surrendering, took the opportunity to launch a counteroffensive.

The Yuan army recruited the governor of Jiaozhi Province, Wu Ma'er, Fan Ji led the navy to retreat along the Baiteng River into the sea, who knew that Chen Xingdao had already prepared, and laid hundreds of wooden stakes at the mouth of the Baiteng River, because the tide rose sharply at that time, the Yuan army did not find that the underwater had been done by the Annan people, and as a result, it was blocked tightly in Haikou and could not move, and became a live target of the Annan navy. All 400 warships were annihilated, and Fan Ji was captured on the spot. Umar, who had escaped by luck last time, had no good luck this time, and was also captured by Annam, who hated the Mongols and hung him upside down in the sea and drowned him.

The Yuan army led by Tuohuan himself, there was no good fruit to eat, trembling and retreating to the mountains near Dongguan, surrounded by Chen Rixuan and the son Chen Rixuan personally led the army, the Annan soldiers were condescending, ten thousand arrows were fired, the Yuan army was killed by the arrows on the right side of the province, Li Heng desperately broke off, covering the Zhennan King Tuohuan to cross the bridge, the Yuan army was in the arrow overboard countless, Tuohuan finally withdrew to Guangxi.

Tuhuan relied on the pro-army to protect him, and fled from the road in a hurry, Rao is like this, Li Heng was poisoned by arrows, fled back with injuries, and later died of injuries. And he himself was still hit by a poisonous arrow from the Annan soldiers in his foot, and finally fled back to Siming Prefecture, Guangxi, and led his subordinates to lose six or seven out of ten, which was even worse than the last defeat. In the two hundred miles away in the capital of the most miserable, in a hurry to forget to inform the capital, someone came to report to him, saying that the capital has withdrawn from the north and returned, the capital did not believe it, hurried to the camp to inspect, sure enough, only saw an empty city, so the capital was abandoned in the jungle in the south.

Instigated the capital to hurriedly lead the army to retreat to the coast of Hue, intending to withdraw by sea, but was blocked by the Annam army at the mouth of the sea. The Yuan army fought and retreated, and when it retreated to the Qianmanjiang River, Chen Xingdao's army suddenly appeared and surrounded the Yuan army. Rao is the Mongolian soldiers are brave and invincible, this time it is difficult to escape the end of the whole army, the main general instigated the capital to die, the tens of thousands of soldiers, most of them were killed and captured, or drowned in the river to death. Therefore, it is impossible for the merchants to count on Huan Tuo to support them.

Within a few days, the news of Huan Tu's defeat and escape back spread all over the country, and Kublai Khan was furious when he heard of Huan Tu's defeat, and directly demoted him to Yangzhou, and was not allowed to enter Beijing for the rest of his life. Zhao Yu thought that the merchants should definitely bow their heads, but he didn't expect their waists to straighten up, claiming that they would not give a penny to Qiongzhou.

Zhao Yu was a little confused, how could these goods come back to the defeat? And soon his caravan came with the news, saying that it was secretly rumored everywhere that because the Song army assisted the Annan army in ambushing the Yuan army in the Baiteng River, Kublai Khan was furious and wanted to cancel the plan to attack Japan, and instead destroyed the remnants of the Song Dynasty in Qiongzhou first, and now they are gathering troops in Quanzhou, and will raise troops to attack Qiong as soon as the rainy season passes.

This news really scared Zhao Hao, could it be that he had changed such a big historical event? But after thinking about it, I even won the battle of Yashan, and I have indeed changed history so far, otherwise everyone would have fed the fish a long time ago, where would I have the opportunity to be frightened here. But I don't understand, I obviously sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and I didn't give Annan a grain of food, let alone send troops to the war.

Zhao Hao also knew that these businessmen wandered among high-ranking officials and nobles, which could not only get closer to each other, but also obtain gossip, so as to obtain political and economic information to avoid risks. They were so calm that he couldn't help but wonder about the possibility. As far as he knows, Kublai Khan made a bloody effort to attack Japan this time, dispatching more than 4,000 warships alone and mobilizing nearly 200,000 troops, which is BOSS-level compared to any battle he has experienced before. If they really turn to Qiongzhou and launch landing operations in many places at the same time, they can really kick their nest.

"Check, check, check!" With the attitude of believing it or not, Zhao Yu immediately ordered the mobilization of all the light and dark forces of the Secretariat and the Privy Council to find out about this matter, who let him carry the black cauldron, and where did Kublai Khan's troops point?

Under the little emperor's crazy supervision, all the intelligence agencies in Qiongzhou went all out to work, and even the fishing boats of the Tan tribe expanded their fishing range to monitor the situation on the surrounding sea. The information found in various places quickly converged on Zhao Yu's desk. First of all, it is true that the Song army participated in the ambush of the Baiteng River, but those people were the people who were exiled to Zhancheng, they were wearing the uniforms of the Song army, of course, they were regarded as a gang with Qiongzhou, and Zhao Yu had staged the drama of the Three Kingdoms Alliance to resist the Yuan Dynasty, so he was not resentful. Whoever made him the emperor will naturally be responsible for what his people do!

As for the fact that the enemy army that conquered Japan turned to attack Qiongzhou, it was not true, and the preparations for such a large-scale expedition naturally could not be kept secret, and even the Japanese detected the movements of the Yuan Empire and made sufficient war preparations for the upcoming second "Mongol attack". Zhao recalled that the political situation in Japan was stable at this time, and Hojo Tokimune's control over the Kamakura shogunate and the Japanese feudal domains was much greater than before, so the Japanese were able to mobilize more manpower and material resources to resist the invasion.

Zhao estimated that the shogunate's requisition of Minfu in Kyushu and the stone walls built to hinder the Mongol cavalry along the beach in the area around Hakata Bay where the Yuan army was most likely to land were probably completed; Hojo Munemori and Hojo Munemasa had already led elite samurai armies to the coastal areas of Honshu and Kyushu, respectively, and at the same time, the Kyushu feudal clans should have begun to mobilize their militias, and samurai from other parts of Japan were on their way to the war.

After many days of surveillance, the Yuan troops that were requisitioned and deployed in various places to fight against Japan had all gathered in Dinghai, and there was no intention of going south to Qiongzhou, and the Goryeo army was nowhere to be found. Zhao Yu was a little calm, but he also knew that the soldiers were not tired of deceit, and he still did not dare to relax, so he ordered various spies to closely monitor the entry and exit of ships in various ports in the southeast to prevent the recurrence of Ali's plan to secretly display his warehouse in The Hague. At the same time, he ordered the navy to send a surveillance fleet to the sea to detect their movements, and ordered all navy troops to prepare for interception, otherwise they would really have to wait for death when the enemy arrived at the doorstep.

The large-scale surveillance operation lasted until July, and it was discovered that the Yuan army was marching towards Japan in two ways, one led by Hongdiqiu, Xindu, and Jin Fangqing, with 40,000 Mongol, Goryeo, and Han troops, and 17,000 helmsmen and sailors, and departed from Goryeo Hepu in 900 warships; Along the way, led by Arakhan and Fan Wenhu, he led 100,000 troops and 3,500 warships to the south of the Yangtze River, and set off from Dinghai Port to Japan. There is a great tendency to raze Japan in one fell swoop, not to take revenge on the past, and never to give up.

It was not until mid-August that the Qiongzhou surveillance fleet returned, and they watched the two armies return to Iki before they returned, and they encountered a storm on the way. After listening to their report, Zhao Yu was completely relieved, as long as these grandchildren went, they would never come back. And this cannot be blamed for not reminding Kublai Khan, but for being too stupid to understand the effects of climate on warfare, especially at sea, where the change in climate is enough to lead to the complete destruction of an army.

In fact, China's marine climate is regular, and every year in July and August is the time when typhoons are frequent, and it is not suitable for long-distance sailing. At this time, Kublai Khan's cross-sea expedition was smooth sailing and shortened the sea voyage time, but it ignored the severity of the storm. The super typhoon encountered by the Qiongzhou surveillance fleet when it returned to the sea was probably the most famous 'kamikaze' in Japan's history, which saved Japan at the last moment, and also made countless indignant young people in later generations linger, and failed to let the Tartars slaughter the devils as soon as possible, leaving a legacy for the Chinese nation.

From then on, the Japanese firmly believed in the kamikaze, and the kamikaze became the last hope to save the Japanese nation at a critical juncture, so that when they faced the destruction of the country again hundreds of years later, they organized a notorious death squad under this name. However, Zhao Hao thought that it was not this wind that saved Japan, but purely Kublai Khan's disregard for the development of things and his blind self-confidence that led to a great defeat......
