Polu army scouts hidden in various places sent intelligence back to Fuzhou one after another.
The map of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was filled with densely packed flags.
The Yuan army, the Song army, the Song army, and the Yuan army were all intertwined.
I am in you, you are in me.
Some places have become areas infested with banditry.
People who have lost their homes gather in the mountains and forests, each raising different banners.
The chaotic situation quickly made them lose their way.
The villagers, who had lost the simplicity of the initial moments of the uprising, quickly pursued their dream of becoming king and hegemony, driven by some scholars with ulterior motives.
Two to three hundred people proclaimed themselves generals, and thousands of people founded their own kingdoms and became kings.
And the subordinates of these princes and generals were more vicious than the Mongols in front of the unarmed people.
When encountering the Yuan army, their performance was weaker than that of the Song Xiang army.
The situation is becoming more and more complex and chaotic, bringing new fighters, and crises are often closest to fighters.
Wen Tianxiang's brows were knitted tightly as his eyes were fixed on the map.
Behind him, Zou Zhen, Chen Longfu, Liu Zijun, Zeng Huan and others looked as dignified as Wen Tianxiang.
What worries them is not the chaotic war in front of them, but how to face the imperial envoys.
Since the defeat in Kongkeng, most of the soldiers in the Polu Army have despaired of the imperial court.
No matter whether they are fighting alone, training in guerrilla warfare at Baizhangling, or defending Shaowu and fighting the decisive battle with the Tatars, they have never expected to receive anything from the imperial court.
What practical help.
Wen Cheng was quite a few years ago because he was ostracized everywhere in the court and was not allowed to apply for an order to open a palace in Nanjianzhou.
Moreover, the imperial court has always used Wen's army as a victim to delay the enemy's actions.
Everyone knows this very well, and few people care about receiving the attention of the court anymore.
However, not caring about the court's attention does not mean being disloyal to the court.
Thousands of years of teachings have a root in everyone's heart.
The difference is just the depth or shallowness of the root.
After Zhang Shijie captured Guangnan, the Polu army, which had always been regarded as a peripheral force, suddenly became important in the eyes of the court.
Within half a month, three batches of imperial envoys came by boat at the risk of being intercepted by the Pu family navy.
Each group has higher positions than the next, and the official titles given to military lieutenants and generals are getting bigger and bigger.
The imperial court took Guangzhou, and after taking a breather, it would immediately come to break the Lu army's hind legs.
This is what Wen Tianxiang expected.
But he didn't expect that the imperial court would be so impatient and blatant in digesting the Polu army.
The new emperor came to the throne and rewarded everyone.
In addition to Wen Tianxiang, the right prime minister of the Song Dynasty, the title of Duke Xin was just added.
As for his right-hand assistant Zou Zhen, he was promoted from Minister of War to Deputy Privy Council envoy.
Knowing that the Polu Army was founded by Wen Tianxiang, he forcibly separated the government affairs and military affairs of the Metropolitan Governor's Office.
Government affairs belong to the Prime Minister, and military affairs belong to the Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council.
In the Song Dynasty system, the prime minister did not also serve as the deputy envoy to the privy council, thus achieving the separation of civil and military powers.
In addition, in the imperial edict, generals in the army were promoted in an unusual way, and a bunch of overlapping positions were appointed as appeasement envoys and envoys.
While commending the achievements of the Polu army, it also made a request that the Polu army provide one hundred guns.
The legendary artillery and a thousand Polu bows were transported to Yashan by sea and handed over to Lingzhen's troops to guard Yamen.
After only half a year of running the Northern Sanzhou of Fujian, the Polu Army was no longer as trapped as before.
The court did not allocate soldiers, horses, or materials, but only granted empty titles.
These actions can be understood and tolerated by everyone.
After all, the imperial court had just landed, so it would be inappropriate for the emperor, courtiers and soldiers to sleep in tents.
But knowing that the Polu army was surrounded by powerful enemies, they still forcefully reached out to ask for weapons, which was a bit too hasty.
Fujian is not an easy place to settle in the first place.

The Polu Army has nearly 200,000 new auxiliary troops from Fan Wenhu, the governor of Zhejiang and Zhejiang, to the north, Mongol troops from Dachun to the west, Liu Shen and Suodu from the southwest, approaching day by day, and the troops from the southeast.
The Pu family in Quanzhou are also watching with eager eyes.
In this case, I don't think about how to join forces with the Polu army to break the siege of Beiyuan and connect Fujian and Guangnan.
Instead, he calculated the little wealth of the Polu Army.
Only the boring ministers in the court could do such a stingy thing.
A hundred cannons were searched all over the Polu army, but they could not come up with this number.
One thousand steel crossbows, that's the equipment of two battalions.
Nowadays, many of the bow and arrow battalions of the Polu Army still hold simple bamboo bows and squeeze a thousand Polu bows for the court.
Even if Wen Tianxiang and others agree, the low-level soldiers will not agree.
The air in the chamber was so oppressive that it could be set on fire with a stick of fire.
Everyone is willing to give advice on how to march and fight, but no one can give a proper solution on how to deal with the court's actions.
Prime Minister Wen encouraged everyone to speak freely and not to incriminate others because of their words.
But at present, half of the Song Dynasty has just begun to improve.
If the Polu army breaks away, it will be wiped out by the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
I am afraid that the person who made the suggestion will now bear the label of alienating the monarch and his ministers and causing trouble in internal affairs.
No one can afford this millennium of infamy.
Likewise, no one can say anything to persuade the Prime Minister to accept the court's request.
Even a fool can see that such an imperial edict was definitely not written by the eight or nine-year-old child emperor.
External restraint, coupled with internal divisions and disintegration, was only the first step in many measures taken by the imperial court.
Once the Polu Army agrees, then those schemers will become even more unscrupulous in their tricks.
The imperial envoy who came to convey the order had already vaguely revealed some news about the dissatisfaction within the imperial court with Wen Tianxiang's tampering with the military and political system.
Moreover, from the imperial envoy's mouth, one can clearly hear that the North Korean and Chinese ministers were showing off a series of recent achievements in Guangnan.
With the support of civilian armed forces, the Xing Dynasty successively conquered Guangzhou, Zhaoqing, Xinzhou, and Enzhou, and the territory they occupied was no smaller than that of the Polu Army.
With an area as large as the Northern Sanzhou of Fujian, the courtiers gradually became tougher, so their accusations became more and more rude.
This time, it was because of Mr.
Lu Xiufu's kind mediation that he did not include a warning after the imperial edict of commendation.
"What the hell, war achievements, Huizhou is right under your nose, why didn't you see them touch it?"
Tao Laoyao, the eighth commander, cursed loudly.
He was born as a mountain king, so he didn't have so many twists and turns in his stomach, and he recognized all the dead truths.
Although the man above his head has also changed his mind, his words are still vulgar and incompetent.
On the surface, Xingchao has recently switched from defense to offense, with brilliant results.
But that was all because Dachun led the main force of the Meng Yuan Dynasty northward to pursue Chen Diaoyan, leaving the southern Guangdong route empty of troops.
Huizhou is located to the east of Guangzhou.
There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses marching towards it, but they dare not attack, lest they attack Huizhou and attract back all the people from the Chao and Zhang areas.
Their waterlogged achievements are not worth mentioning compared with the bloody battles of the Polu army.
"Xiu Wen, don't say nonsense that you are also a general of the Song Dynasty now," Zou Zhen scolded in a low voice.
Xiu Wen was the character that Tao Laoya named himself after he learned how to read.
It is a pity that the old master Chen Longfu taught him how to read, but did not teach him the way to be an official.
Young Tao grinned and stopped saying anything.
He doesn't care whether he wears Da Song's official clothes or not.
Being able to fight the Tatars under Wen Tianxiang was the top priority in his heart.
After several months in the army, he had already understood the structure of the Polu army and knew that Zou Zhen was the second-ranking figure in the army.
Although Wen Tianxiang and Zou Zhen have different opinions from time to time, Wen Tianxiang will still maintain Zou Zhen's authority at critical moments.
In the eyes of a straightforward person like Tao Yao, the reason why Wen Tianxiang has been unable to make a decision is also Zou Tian and some old people who followed the Prime Minister to fight.
Although these officials who had received the salary of the Song Dynasty had been unsuccessful, they had a deeper affection for the imperial court than the generals who came from the civilian army.

Prime Minister Wen, who valued emotions, not only had to consider the impact that his break with the imperial court would have on the entire anti-Yuan cause, but also considered whether various actions would affect the unity and morale of the Polu army.
Just like on Baizhang Ridge, everyone's eyes fell on Wen Tianxiang again, looking forward to his decision.
However, the eyes at that time were full of trust, but now some people's eyes contained hesitation.
Everyone has a ledger in their mind.
Prime Minister Wen devoted himself to assisting the Song Dynasty and leading the army to resist the Yuan Dynasty.
Even if there are many things in his behavior that are not in line with the ancestral system, everyone must stand by him for the sake of the country and the country.
But the imperial court keeps pressing hard.
If Prime Minister Wen is really as frightened as the legend says, what should everyone do?
If you follow Prime Minister Wen to Qingjun's side, what's the difference between you and the bandits everywhere?
If you don’t follow Prime Minister Wen, who else in the world can bring so many people together and lead them to resist the Tatars?
In the eyes of everyone, Wen Tianxiang, who had his back turned to everyone, slowly hunched down.
The praise of the world belongs to this one person.
He alone is responsible for the accusations from the world.
At this moment, no one can replace him or help him.
Looking at Wen Tianxiang's slightly trembling back, Zou Tuan felt a little unbearable.
He took half a step forward and suggested in a low voice: "Prime Minister, otherwise" His idea was simple.
All the generals jointly submitted a letter to the court explaining the plight of the Polu army.
And as appropriate, he will meet some of the court's requirements and pay for part of the artillery and Polu bows.
Wen Tianxiang shook his head slightly and interrupted Zou Zhen's proposal.
From the moment he woke up on Baizhang Ridge, his heart had never been at peace.
He reorganized the army, trained troops, reorganized the army, and defended Shaowu to relieve the imperial court.
Every step forward brings us closer and closer to the goal of national rejuvenation.
But with every step he took, the distance from the court became farther and farther.
There was some pressure that made him unable to breathe, but there was no one around him to share it with.
He knew why Zou Zhen persuaded him like this.
Although Zou Zhen was loyal to the imperial court, he was also loyal to the Polu army.
After weighing the two words of loyalty, all that can be done is to give in and beg.
But Wen Tianxiang couldn't bear to give in at all.
The imperial court's decree made him embarrassed and painful.
The chaotic thoughts in his mind were unconsciously changing the way he did things.
The books he had read since childhood and the teachings he had received made him unable to give up on the Song Dynasty.
But the history in Wenzhong's memory always reminds him that every move at this moment concerns the entire nation.
The struggle deep in his heart prevented him from making an easy choice.
Most of the time, Wen Tianxiang knows how to try his best to balance and compromise.
Try your best to suppress the conflicts and postpone the moment of facing criticism from the court.
Because he knew that not everyone in the Polu Army had awakened.
He didn't want the Polu army, which had just formed a fighting force, to be divided due to different perspectives on the problem.
Sometimes, Wen Tianxiang even imagined that under the huge military pressure of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the wise people in the court could give up the maintenance of the ancestral system and Neo-Confucian dogma, and put the plan of national salvation first, hoping that the Polu army would grow rapidly.
In terms of strength, he acquiesced in these practices.
After growing up in the New Deal and the New Army, I can face it calmly even if it is criticized by thousands of people.
Because by that time, the fire sown by oneself can start a prairie fire, and no one can stop the fire of the revival of Chinese civilization.
Looking at it today, it is obvious that my thoughts were too wishful thinking.
I underestimated the sense of smell of the conservatives and overestimated the political wisdom of those scholar-bureaucrats.
He sent Du Hu to command the navy and fight on the periphery, which temporarily calmed the contradiction between the radicals and the conservatives.
And an imperial edict from the imperial court put all the internal conflicts that he had worked so hard to suppress on the table.

Today, in front of the senior generals of the Polu Army, Wen Tianxiang must make a decision on where to go.
The generals will also have to make a choice between the Fujian New Deal and the Song Dynasty.
After taking this step, not only Wen Tianxiang himself, but everyone will never be able to look back.
The country, the court, the court, the country, stared at the map, deep in their hearts, like thousands of armies at war.
Wen Tianxiang pressed his hands on the table, and unconsciously, his back was soaked with sweat.
Suddenly, his hand was raised, and then slowly lowered.
This moment seems as long as a century.
Drinker's note: I ask all the supporting actors to make up their minds.
