Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

Chapter 23 After the War
Fan Zhuoyuan couldn't figure out the changes in the system.

But no matter what, he has made a huge breakthrough in strength now, but unfortunately he can't use the samurai in Japan as a reference, and can't judge what level he is currently in the middle-earth martial arts.

After the army repaired in Yanagawa Castle for two days, a thousand soldiers and horses were left to garrison, and the rest of the troops went to the Dazaifu of the Chikuzen Kingdom.

The army marched mightily across the Fukuoka Plain of the Chikuzen Kingdom, which is the Chikuzen Kingdom and even the ruling stronghold of Kyushu Island - Dazaifu.

There are two plains in Chikuzen, one is Fukuoka Plain, the other is Chikuho Plain, and the Onga River, the second largest river in Kyushu, so the agriculture is the most developed and the products are the most abundant.

And because it is close to Hakata Bay, fishery and commerce are also very developed, and the economy is prosperous.

This place is 250 miles away from Tsushima Island, and Tsushima Island is only 250 miles away from Koryo, which is easily accessible by sea boat!

Taking this place not only has an important window to the outside world, but also the largest strategic base for conquering Japan.

Outside the Dazaifu, Fan Zhuo looked at the sea from a distance, and he saw the construction of a defense barrier tens of kilometers long for the Yuan invaders.

Imagine that if you landed from here, I am afraid that even yourself will be passive and unable to land under the defense of Yuan Bandits.

Some time ago, the East Route Army had a bloody blow here, and now I don't know how many people have died in the sea.

Of course, this was not something Fan Zhuoyuan cared about. When he came to the gate of the city, Zhang Xi, the commander of the right-wing regiment, came out of the city to greet him personally.

"Young commander, congratulations on returning with a big victory!"

Fan Zhuoyuan nodded slightly, serious as always, but all his subordinates didn't care.

On the contrary, his facial paralysis strengthened his majesty in the hearts of many subordinates.

Under the leadership of Zhang Xi, the army settled into the city.

Zhang Xihui reported: "Young Marshal, recently, we have often sent people to search along the coastline when there is no wind, and found more than [-] survivors of the Eastern Route Army, all of whom have entered the city."

Fan Zhuoyuan fixed his eyes and asked, "Who are they?"

"Young commander, please rest assured. Most of them are ordinary soldiers. If they are high-ranking officers, we don't need to be ordered by the young commander. We will naturally know how to do things."

what to doOf course it was slaughtered and thrown into the sea!Is it possible to save yourself and disgust yourself?
Only then did Fan Zhuoyuan nodded in satisfaction, "Since they are all ordinary soldiers, let's break them up and arrange them in various units, and treat them as our own!
Whether it is northern Han, Mongols or Koreans, here, they all belong to their own people who have no roots.

They must rely on us to survive, and we also need their assistance to increase our strength. After all, I don't want the Mongolian and Yuan courts to support us too much. "

Zhang Xi nodded, "Young Marshal is right. If the Tartar Emperor sends his Mongolian army over, who will listen to here? Could it be that we have to fight first and then talk about it?"

"Hmph, it's really going to be a fight, but I'm not afraid of them.

But the big guys, including me and my father's family, are still in Jiangnan at the moment.

Those of us rough men who kill a thousand knives are worthless if we die and live forever.

But if the orphans and widows in the family are bullied, they are really not reconciled. "

All the cronies around believed it, and someone sighed and said: "This time the young commander led the army to fight, and everyone is convinced from the bottom of their hearts. In fact, under the leadership of the young commander, they are indeed invincible, unlike those unlucky guys in the Eastern Route Army.

Originally, I wanted to follow the young marshal to establish a foothold in Japan, establish an overseas country for us Song people, bear the humiliation, wait for the opportunity to counterattack the Central Plains, and restore my country!To report the shame of Yashan!
But if the family members are all in the south of the Yangtze River and cannot be reunited, I am afraid that many soldiers may not be able to maintain one heart with us, and the Mongolian and Yuan courts will send a few supervisors or civil servants, and it is even more difficult to act rashly. "

Fan Zhuoyuan said in a deep voice: "I have my own way to solve this matter. At worst, when Japan is wiped out, I will personally take the entire emperor's family to Dadu. With me as a hostage, the families of the soldiers will be reunited in Japan!"

Everyone was surprised, Zhang Xi said: "Young commander! If our Jiangnan army leaves you, it will be like a group of dragons without a leader, so how can we make things happen?"

"When Kublai Khan is in power, don't think too much about it for the time being. When the time comes, we will first stabilize the foundation and seek development through maritime trade. Even if our generation can't do things, the next generation will have a chance. Hu has no luck for a hundred years!"

Fan Zhuoyuan's eyes were deep, as if he had seen through the development of history.

"Now let the commander-in-chief know the news first, and ask him to come here to sit in charge, dispatch food and grass, and deal with the imperial court's questions.

We continue to prepare troops and prepare sea ships, and then take the four countries and the two islands of China. After entering Kansai, it is time to face the Kyoto where their emperor is. "

Fan Zhuoyuan didn't rush to attack. He still needed to prepare food and military supplies. Fighting a war is not as simple as two armies confronting each other. A qualified commander must be very busy on weekdays.

Logistics, food, grass, and military resources must be properly arranged in every detail, and city defense spies and intelligence collection are also essential actions.

For the next period of time, apart from daily practice, he has been busy with this matter.

At the same time, more and more Song people went to the Tianshou Pavilion where he was located to ask to meet.

Most of these Song people were scholar-bureaucrats in the Southern Song Dynasty. After the Song Dynasty was destroyed, they went to Japan by boat to seek refuge.

Relying on the Japanese people's extreme admiration for Song Dynasty culture in this era, their life in Japan is generally not bad, and teaching Han culture to nobles, ministers and samurai is enough to ensure their livelihood.

There are often Japanese aristocratic girls who are so happy that they borrow seeds. Therefore, when they heard that Meng Yuan planned to go on an expedition to Japan, they were frightened three times a day.

Since the fall of the Song Dynasty, there has been a widespread saying in Japan that there will be no China after Yashan. Many Japanese samurai and nobles here think that they are the most orthodox cultural inheritors of China after the fall of other peoples.

The Song people who had taken refuge here were divided into two factions, one group lost their homeland, and the island country was close to Chinese culture. Master Kong Sheng once said that when the barbarians entered China, they were more willing to help the island people establish Chinese orthodoxy.He actually believed this argument and stood with them, for example, Ye Xiuping was one of them.

The other faction doesn't take this argument seriously, but people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Everything is based on reality, and we must survive first.As for culture, they always firmly believe that the roots are in China, and the orthodoxy is mine.

Facing Meng Yuan's Eastern Expedition, these two groups of people were worried and fearful at first. They had seen a lot of Meng Yuan's brutality, so they spent a lot of money and effort to support the local army.

After seeing Fan Zhuoyuan's destructive strength, the behavior of these two factions went to two extremes.

The faction that supports the No China after Yashan believes that Fan Zhuoyuan's attack is to help the tyrant, and the traitor is the master's act, and intends to completely wipe out China.

There is another faction, seeing that Fan Zhuoyuan's [-] troops are mostly soldiers from the south of the Yangtze River, and they did not commit any barbaric acts of massacring the city, so they considered going to contact them.

Fan Zhuoyuan accepts all those who are willing to contribute, but he does not take care of government affairs. All the people are transferred to his father who is in charge of the development work in Hyugaguo, and he will arrange the affairs in detail.

I am still busy with military affairs and decided to destroy Japan as soon as possible.
