In August of the year of Renyin, Ahma, the political minister of Pingzhang of Zhongshu Province, in the name of exterminating the red thief, levied grain and taxes in the Zhongdu Prefecture, and obtained 30,000 quintals of corn, 6,000 spindles of cloth, and the rest of the things were not counted. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info then attacked the public in Xiangmanlou, but failed. Later, the capital of Dasuo wanted to arrest Guan Hanqing, but it failed.

In October, the red thief will be exterminated, and the money will be collected in the treasury and used for a few purposes!

Although some people recommended the letter to submit it, Ahoma had no choice but to reign for a long time, and he was unbridled and greedy, invoking the traitorous parties Hao Zhen and Geng Ren, and suddenly rose to the same ranks, conspired and trafficked, and specialized in blinding.

At the end of November, when he heard that there were red thieves in the city, he forcibly entered the warehouse, and the grain and millet in the warehouse were burned. In order to make up for the vacancy, Yu Wenwei was arrested and imprisoned, hoping to obtain the treasure under his command. Qin Changqing strongly recommended it, but he was not allowed to capture it. It was the night that sent the jailer to drown him. Because of the thief's robbery, it was unsuccessful.

At the beginning of December, the author of the king of Yidu Qianhu, Su Zhi was ill and evil, because of the resentment of the people, he secretly cast a big bronze hammer and vowed to hit the head of Ahema. In the name of the pseudo-prince, he entered the east gate, and then ordered Ahma to enter the palace, crushed his brain with a copper hammer on his sleeve, and was killed immediately. The rest of the people were angry and wanted to kill them, but they were attacked by red thieves, and the treasury in the house was swept away, and the rest were relatives, so they reported to Kublai Khan and asked for support.

Kublai Khan was furious when he heard this, and he went to the capital. He ordered the deputy privy envoys Polo, Situ and Lihuosun, and Ali to gallop to the central capital to exterminate the remnants of the red thieves.

In January of the following year, he encountered a red thief at the Gaoliang River, was defeated, and the whole army was killed.

In February, Jinzhou was lost, and the red thieves seized more than 300 ships and entered the ocean, and there has been no trace since then.

............

The wind and waves are surging, but the tide is still the same.

The rolling waves crash against the hull of the boat, making it feel as if you are on a rocking swing, and it is always difficult to sleep.

As soon as she opened the door, she smelled a fishy smell of the sea, and looked up at the blue sky as far as she could see.

"Sister, why haven't you slept yet?"

In the distance, Xiao Xing was slightly surprised and asked.

Xiao Yuexuan frowned and replied, "The hull of the ship is shaking so much that it is difficult to sleep." Since she was a child, she has been living on the mainland, she is really difficult to adapt to the life of a sea ship, and seeing Xiao Xing's sleepy eyebrows, dull eyes, and cheeks, there is also a look of fatigue, and hurriedly said: "It's just sister, why haven't you fallen asleep yet?"

Xiao Xing felt that he was short of energy, and smiled reluctantly: "Alas, the people in the army have not yet gotten rid of seasickness, how dare I rest easily?"

It has been more than a few days since leaving the mainland, and the Red Phoenix Army is now in the middle of the ocean, and it is very difficult to find others, but it is also safe.

However, the people of the Red Phoenix Army have lived on the mainland for a long time, and even if there are people who are good at water, they are just small rivers and lakes, which are nothing. Now in the middle of this vast ocean, the place to step on is not solid land, but also because of the impact of the waves, up and down, the maid is really uncomfortable.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Red Phoenix Army felt discomfort in the upper abdomen, followed by nausea, paleness, cold sweats, and dizziness and vomiting.

This seasickness is not a disease or an injury, and ordinary treatment methods are difficult to work.

However, after the Chifeng Army pursued the soldiers, he did not allow the slightest slackness, so Xiao Xing used his physical powers to appease the soldiers of the whole army, so that they could recover their spirits and health, so that they would not continue to be disturbed by this seasickness. As a result of her efforts, she also felt low on energy and needed to rest.

"Even so, you can't work yourself. What would you do if you taught someone to attack at this opportunity?" Xiao Yue felt distressed and opened her mouth to persuade.

"Well, then according to my sister's words. ”

Xiao Xing had no choice but to get into the cabin, even though her feet were still up and down, but she was too tired, and she snored as soon as she touched the bed. Xiao Yue looked distressed, took off her clothes for her, and put the mattress on the mattress before withdrawing.

At this moment, it is the cold winter, the weather is cold, if you are not careful, it will be difficult to get a cold.

When she was done, she returned to the deck, and although she was in the sea at the moment, it was difficult for ordinary people to find her, but for safety reasons, she still needed to be guarded, especially when more than half of the army was in a state of physical discomfort.

But at this moment, that Yu Wenwei appeared on the boat at some point.

He looked at the ocean in the distance, but for some reason, there was a trace of melancholy on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Xiao Yue felt strange to herself, and immediately asked, "Sir, why haven't you rested yet?"

"I'm different from you, I grew up on the banks of the Yangtze River since I was a child, and when I was young, I even sailed into the sea, so the wind and waves are nothing. Yu Wenwei waved his hand and said with a smile: "As for the symptoms of those people in the army, they are just seasickness when they first entered the ocean. ”

Xiao Yue was relieved at this time, and thought that everyone was living in a boat and in the ocean now, so she couldn't help but feel a little drifting, and asked, "If it is as Mr. said, then it will be very good." Just sir, what do you think about the future?"

Although she is strong and has reached the realm of earth immortals, if she is a battle array charge, she is naturally invincible, but she is limited by her vision, and it is really difficult to break the strategy for the future development of the army, so she has this question.

"If you see what you see, what do you think is lacking in the Red Phoenix Army now?" Yu Wenwei was not in a hurry, but forced Xiao Yue to ask.

Xiao Yue's words froze, and then she complained: "According to my thoughts, it should be a lack of materials, a lack of armaments, and a limited number of troops. Although we got some food from the Central Metropolis, we could only last for the rest of the month. As soon as the month passed, it was necessary to set foot on the mainland and seek food. And the gun, after several years of war, only four or five out of ten of the guns made in the past are now left, and in the present situation, it may still be satisfied. However, if we want to expand our troops, it is really difficult to rely on these alone. ”

"As for the troops—" Speaking of this, Xiao Yue paused and replied with a sigh: "Although the people in the army are all brave and good at fighting, they are not more than 10,000 soldiers, and they are easy to get tired after a long battle, so it is really difficult to confront the Mongolian army. ”

Previously, although they had ordered Wang Shijian, Yu Cheng, Xiao Jingmao and others to establish a base in Mongolia and absorb the surrounding farmers for their own use.

However, the two are far apart, and it is really impossible to get the supplies here.

Yu Wenwei replied: "These three seem to be different, but they are actually confused. At the end of the day, it's just one word - people!"

"People?" Xiao Yue seemed to have a trance, and muttered in her mouth.

"That's right. Men need to be cultivated by farmers, armoury needs to be built by craftsmen, and soldiers need enough people. Yu Wenwei opened his mouth and said: "Although Xiao Feng saw through this point before, he wanted to keep the enemy out of the world to ensure normal production within the base, which is the reason. It's just that the Mongolian army is too strong, after all, it is not a corner of the land that can resist, so it fell into death, and then although there are thousands of miles to run in order to survive, but after all, it is difficult to resist the mandate of heaven, and there is a catastrophe of death. ”

Speaking of the battle of Jinghai in the past, Xiao Yue couldn't help but be silent.

In that long road, under the leadership of Xiao Feng, although they swept through the entire Central Plains, they were besieged by the Mongol army because of the great difference in strength, and it was difficult to turn around.

"Alas!"

Xiao Yue felt melancholy, in her mind, the past events surfaced one after another, although she felt thrilling, but when she thought of her leisure time now, she couldn't help but feel a little sad, and finally turned into a sigh.

They escaped, but there were still some who stayed in that place forever!

"But since we have escaped, we can't live up to the expectations of the lord, and we should open another way, and then establish the prestige of the Red Phoenix Army!"

Yu Wenwei couldn't help but feel surprised, looked up and down, and said: "It's worthy of being that person's disciple, such a lofty spirit, but not very human." ”

"Even so, what does Mr. think of my Chifeng Army's future plans?" Xiao Yue knew that she was not talented and virtuous, but she didn't put it on a show, and asked the head of the audit.

Yu Wenwei replied with a bow: "It is precisely for this reason that the most important thing for us at the moment is people. If you win souls, you will have a great momentum, and if there are no people, you will be crushed into the dust, no matter how strong you are. But if you want to win souls, you need land. Only when there is land can we broadcast the art of cultivation and open up the way of harvesting, so that we can gather the masses of one side to adopt it for our own use. When everyone is united, the world will be decided. ”

"Where does that gentleman think is where my Red Phoenix Army returns?" Xiao Yue asked again.

For the future of the Red Phoenix Army, she is even worried, naturally she wants to know where it is, so that the Red Phoenix Army can show its majesty.

Yuwen Weilang laughed loudly: "Although it is vast today, most of the land in the Central Plains has been decided. If it is under the command of the Song Dynasty, it will be more restrained by the imperial court, and as for the countryside, there are also many village sages and gentry entrenched, which are difficult to eradicate and impossible; If you want to support the Red Phoenix Army to gain a firm foothold, there are only two places in this world. ”

"Which two?" Xiao Yue hurriedly asked.

Yu Wenwei continued: "One is the land of abundance, and the other is the land of Qilu. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, these two places have been prosperous in culture, large in population, flourishing in agriculture and prosperous in commerce, which is really a rare place. In the past, the Qi State relied on the Qilu area, and then became the lord of the Spring and Autumn Period and the hero of the Warring States; after the Qin State annexed Bashu, it had the ambition to conquer the world and annex the Six Kingdoms. ”

"If Mr. said, then how should our army act in order to occupy this Qilu land?" Xiao Yue felt even more nervous and asked.

Regardless of the country of abundance, which is still thousands of miles away, let's just say that the land of Qilu is under the three sides of Mongolia, Li Pu, and Song Dynasty, competing with each other for the true owner of this land. Although their Red Phoenix Army is an elite, the number is only 6,000, how can they survive in this war that often involves tens of thousands of troops and thousands of miles?

After all, the Red Phoenix Army is in the East China Sea at the moment, if you want to go ashore to seek food, you have to deal with the princes of the East Shandong Road, what should the Red Phoenix Army do at that time, so that it can gain a firm foothold here, and even further expand its sphere of influence?

Yu Wenwei waved his hand and said with a smile: "Definitely." This time I went ashore, not to occupy this place, but to resist the Mongolian army!"

"Fight against the Mongolian army, why?" Xiao Yue was puzzled again.

Since the battle of Jinghai, although she did not defeat the Mongol army, she was still a lot more careful after all, for fear of confronting the Mongol army, so that the soldiers under her command would be lost.

Yu Wenwei looked serious and asked, "Do you think this land of Qilu can be defended under the combined attack of the Mongols and the Song Dynasty?"

Xiao Yue thought for a moment and shook her head: "I can't." ”

"That's right. Can't!"

Yu Wenwei nodded and replied: "This land of Qilu is surrounded by the sea on one side, enemies on three sides, and there are no natural dangers to defend, so it is really difficult to defend it." In the past, the Qi State was able to dominate, but the six countries were scattered and could not gather. However, under the rule of the Song Dynasty, there were tens of millions of people, and Mongolia was even more vast, as far as Europa, which was by no means a corner of the land that could resist. The land of Qilu is not the best choice. ”

"That's the land of abundance?"

Xiao Yue immediately replied, and couldn't help but show a trace of sourness in her heart, remembering the place where she grew up when she was young.

Since ten years ago, the Song Dynasty opened the border, so that Mongolia borrowed the way to destroy Jin, this Bashu area has fallen into the flames of war, and then Wu Lin and others have led Jin soldiers into the country, so that the former country of abundance, the land of anointing, is now also plunged into continuous war, but peace has not been restored.

Yu Wenwei replied with a chin on his head: "That's right. This Bashu generation, surrounded by mountains, is really an easy place to defend and difficult to attack. With the help of the terrain here, it only takes a few troops to keep the enemy out. In the past, Liu Bei used this place to achieve three points of China. ”

"But this place is too far away from us, and with the current troops, I am afraid that it will be difficult to overcome this distance of thousands of miles and reach this place. Xiao Yue was very puzzled, but she didn't know what to do.

Yu Wenwei continued: "It is precisely because of this that after I enter the mainland, I will try to resist Mongolia and the Song Dynasty in the south. ”

"Resist Mongolia and the Song Dynasty in the south?"

Although Xiao Yue is clear, she can't help but be a little estranged.

In the past, when her father died with Qingyuan Mansion, although the murderer was a Mongolian army, but the one who caused such a tragic situation also had a lot to do with the inaction of the Song Dynasty, so if Xiao Yue wanted to beg for mercy from the Song Dynasty, she was also a little annoyed.

Yu Wenwei saw that Xiao Yue was hesitant, and opened his mouth to persuade: "Exactly." In the past, the reason why the Red Phoenix Army was able to broadcast its reputation to the public and attract the attention of the world's heroes was because the lord was the first to take the lead in rebelling against the Mongols. If you want to get the help of all the heroes in the land of Qilu, you need to play the banner of the Red Phoenix Army to let everyone know that this Mongolian army is not a strong enemy and can be defeated. And if the Song Dynasty saw it, in order to fight against the Mongols, it would naturally contact us and others, and even give food and ordnance, so that they could echo each other so that they could resist strong enemies for him. Otherwise, we will only be regarded as enemies, and it will be difficult to move an inch. ”

"Okay, I see. ”

Xiao Yue thought about it for a while, although she felt that she was very uncomfortable, but for the sake of the future of the Chifeng Army, she had to endure it.

It's just that when the Chifeng Army still occupied Luzhou in the past, most of the things it promised were not met, so it was very resistant to the Song Dynasty, thinking that the Song Dynasty was only afraid that it would not have such a good intention, and would send a large number of materials without the slightest conditions and clamps.

Of course, now that the enemy is strong and I am weak, the Red Phoenix Army can only temporarily avoid the limelight, and when it grows enough to resist in the future, it will be the time for him to completely show his strength.
