Tiger Roar Three The next day, when Dong Dexin went to the palace to express her gratitude, she did not receive the marquis's official robe, but wore a white dress.
After all, Kublai Khan's blood failed to save Dong Wenbing's life.
On the night he took the folk remedy prescribed by Amul, Dong Wenbing, the prime minister of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, died of illness.
Before he died, he picked up the brush and used all his strength to offer Kublai Khan his last strategy.
"The Han army goes north, the Mongolian army goes south."
Kublai Khan held the note Dong Wenbing wrote to him before his death, and tears blurred his eyes again.
He ordered someone to put the note written by Brother Dong with his life into an ivory box, and put it next to his imperial desk, within easy reach.
Although he could not understand this suggestion, with his consistent trust in Dong Wenbing, Kublai Khan decided to take out this note at the critical moment as a life-saving tip.
On the same day, Kublai Khan issued an edict, ordering the states south of the Yangtze River to make every effort to ensure the supplies of Zhang Hongfan's army and not to slack off.
In Mei and Xun prefectures, the Yuan army's offensive suddenly intensified.
The Song army's defense line remained motionless under the persistence of the governor Zhang Shijie.
"Boom", "boom", "boom, boom, boom", the dull sound of artillery echoed in the valley.
More than a dozen of the Beiyuan soldiers who were rushing forward were overturned by the shells, and the remaining ones let out a desperate cry, turned around and fled down the hillside.
"It turns out that artillery is so powerful.
No wonder Wen Tianxiang, a scholar, can defeat Fujian in one battle and chaos in Zhejiang in another battle."
Su Liuyi wiped the rain from his face and ran into the makeshift thatched hut of the Chinese army, smiling. said.
Compared with the Jianghuai Army's casualties of less than 2,000, the Yuan Army on the opposite side suffered heavy losses.
Every time the battlefield was cleaned, Jianghuai's army cut off hundreds of heads from the corpses to record the results.
After two months of fighting, at least in the Meiguan area, he also wiped out nearly ten thousand Yuan troops.
Except for Zhang Hongfan himself, the battle flags of the generals of the Northern Yuan army all appeared in front of the formation.
Zhang Hongzheng, Zhang Gui, Li Heng, Arahan, Ali Hague, no one, no matter the Mongolians or Semu people, could take advantage of him.
"Well, General Su, you took advantage and refused to accept any favors.
Be careful what you said is heard by the quartermaster of the Polu Army.
Next time, I won't send you artillery shells."
In the makeshift thatched shed, Commander-in-Chief Zhang Shijie laughed. scolding.
The successive victories made him feel good, and he didn't want to argue too much with his subordinates.
Moreover, the Su Liuyi in front of him was still his direct descendant.
"They dare.
If we don't stand up here, how can their Polu army show its prestige in the two Zhejiang provinces?
It's great now.
All the heroes in the world know that it was Prime Minister Wen's men who regained Lin'an.
We men here withstood the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
Most of the main force has become the foil of his prime minister's palace."
Su Liuyi spat on the ground and said angrily.
He had always looked down on Wen Tianxiang.
Even though the Jianghuai Army and its subordinates had taken a large amount of military supplies and equipment from the Polu Army, they still could not change his prejudice against the Polu Army and the Fujian New Deal.
"Ziyi, don't be so petty.
We are all in the same palace, and the Polu army fought well, so the pressure here will be lighter," Zhang Shijie smiled and advised in a low voice.
The misunderstanding between them and Wen Tianxiang can be traced back to the day when Wen Tianxiang escaped from Yuanying and went through all kinds of hardships to catch up to Xingchao.
At that time, the army in the imperial court was on the verge of collapse, but Prime Minister Chen Yizhong advocated a counterattack.
Taking advantage of the pause in the Beiyuan offensive, he sent troops out of Zhejiang and Zhejiang to regain his old capital Lin'an and various places south of the Yangtze River.
This proposal was of course opposed by all the generals.
Everyone believed that the most urgent task now was to find a place to stay, reorganize the troops and boost morale, and then we could discuss whether to fight or defend.
It happened that at this time, Wen Tianxiang rushed over.
This scholar, who became famous for taking the initiative to send an envoy to Beiyuan, tried his best to take charge of the battle, and proposed another marching route that was completely different from that of Prime Minister Chen Yizhong.

He entered Jiangnan West Road from Fujian and took Ganzhou.
Then take the whole of Jiangxi and take advantage of the mountainous geographical advantage of Jiangnan West Road to serve as a safe haven for the Song Dynasty court.
Anyone who has led troops in a war knows that the method proposed by Wen Tianxiang is as bad as the method proposed by Chen Yizhong.
Although the Jiangnan West Road is mountainous, it is not conducive to the deployment of Mongolian cavalry.
But this place is sandwiched between Jinghu Lake and Zhejiang Province.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a knife stuck in the heart of Jiangnan.
No Northern coach with any sense would tolerate this knife being there for a long time.
Everyone can expect that once the troops are sent to Jiangxi, they will immediately be attacked from all directions, and the entire army will be annihilated in a matter of seconds.
As a result, Su Liuyi, Zhang Dingguo and some local military generals formed a group to resist Wen Tianxiang's proposal.
At the same time, rumors that Beiyuan General would send an important official at the level of the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty to secretly recruit heroes from all walks of life were also widely circulated in the army.
After several weighings and contests between several forces, Prime Minister Chen Yizhong chose to compromise with everyone and gave up his plan to go north to Zhejiang.
They also adopted the method of dividing the troops, elevated Wen Tianxiang, gave him the title of Grand Governor, and asked him to recruit strong men to join Jiangxi.
Wen Tianxiang, who offered his ingenuity, was not favored by both parties and became an outcast.
He accepted the order angrily and decided to form his own army for the northern expedition.
This was the beginning of the Bunbu Rebel Army, the predecessor of the Poro Army.
After that, Wen Tianxiang opened in Nanjianzhou and recruited heroes from all over the world.
With his mission to the Northern Yuan Dynasty and his righteous deeds to criticize Boyan, and his reputation as the number one scholar in the Song Dynasty, he quickly recruited tens of thousands of civilian troops.
Immediately, Wen Tianxiang swept through Nanjian, Tingzhou and Shaowu, regained most of the cities in northern Fujian, and then led his troops to sweep through southern Ganzhou and arrived at the gate of Ganzhou.
In the end, due to insufficient strength, he was defeated by Li Hengji's army and led the remaining troops to escape into Baizhang Ridge.
That year, the Battle of Jiangnan West Road that shocked the entire Jiangnan ended with the annihilation of Wen Tianxiang's entire army.
During the entire process, Zhang Shijie, the governor-general who controlled the 200,000 troops marching toward the dynasty, did not send a single soldier to support him.
"Being a minister in the same palace, huh, in my opinion, Wen Tianxiang's yellow robe has been cut, and he is just waiting for someone to take the initiative to put it on him."
Su Liuyi sneered, speaking uncontrollably, while scolding Wen Tianxiang, he put it on himself Chao Taizu also took it with him.
The continuous rain made him feel upset.
The news of the Polu army's victory coming one after another from outside made him feel a little jealous.
In his mind, Wen Tianxiang was just a nerd who only talked big words.
His ability to use troops and adapt to the enemy was far behind the generals in the Jianghuai Army.
But this kind of person is lucky enough to be able to pick up the Book of Heaven and create so many magical weapons.
It just so happens that this kind of person obviously doesn't know how to fight, but even God helps him and frees up the entire two provinces to practice according to his temper.
"Ziyi, if you complain too much, you will break your heart.
Let's just fight a war.
What's the use of fighting for so many false reputations.
Besides, what we did back then was indeed too much."
Zhang Shijie patted Su Liuyi's shoulder with his big hand and sighed. comfort.
Deep down, Zhang Shijie also felt that Wen Tianxiang's achievements were somewhat unbalanced.
But unlike his generals, as the governor, he must put state affairs first.
In addition, from a strategic point of view, sending troops to Zhejiang and Zhejiang when the Northern Yuan army is pressing the border is also a good move to solve the current dilemma.
"Back then, was he half as capable as he is now?"
Su Liuyi argued unconvincingly.
Du Hu, Zhang Tang, Lin Qi, and Li Xing, who was a prisoner of the new vassal army but held a high position in the Polu army.
Compared with Su Liuyi and others back then, they were all nobodies.
Du Hu was a minister of farming, not Outright civil service.
Zhang Tang was a local wealthy man.
Apart from having the strength to grow crops, he had never even seen a military formation.
Lin Qi is better.

He is a Jinshi with both civil and military skills.
But he was just a young boy dancing wildly with a knife, marching, setting up formations, and looking for opportunities to fight, but failed to achieve anything.
But now, they have created miracles one after another and written their names into legends.
"Everything in the past is just yesterday's flowers, let's not mention it.
Let's take a long-term view and look at the future."
Zhang Shijie said in a low voice when his subordinates talked about the ability to use troops.
As if discussing with Su Liuyi, or saying to himself, "When the Beiyuan soldiers and horses are defeated, I will go to Fuzhou in person to discuss the army reorganization with Prime Minister Wen.
Polu Army, Jianghuai Army, If Prime Minister Wen can ignore the past grievances, I don't mind learning from Chen Diaoyan and handing over the Jianghuai Army to his command."
From Gannan, Shaowu, Quanzhou to Zhejiang and Zhejiang, everyone has to admit that Wen Tianxiang's military ability is improving, and every step of progress is huge.
If Wen Tianxiang could show such a strong ability to use troops when they were together back then, Governor Zhang Shijie might not be a stingy person, and he firmly holds the military power and refuses to divide his troops with him.
At the foot of the hillside, the clamor of Beiyuan soldiers and horses started again.
Su Liuyi picked up the knife and changed the subject with an excuse, "Let's talk about the future in the future.
The Tatars are coming up again.
I will take a look at the front."
After saying that, he picked up the knife and ran out of the hut without looking back.
This Su Liuyi is good at everything, but he is a little narrow-minded.
Zhang Shijie looked at the back of his beloved general and couldn't help but shake his head.
The idea of reorganizing the army has been in his mind for a long time.
Because the war was busy and there was no place to stay, it was never put on the agenda.
After Xingchao settled in Yashan, this proposal slowly began to come true under the promotion of him and Lu Xiufu.
Although the Song Dynasty currently has a slight advantage in weapons, it can stabilize its position.
But compared with Bei Yuan, who has nine-tenths of the world, he is still very weak after all, and must gather all his strength in one place.
The current situation where everyone is fighting for his own business and creating multiple doors is undesirable.
Someone had to make a sacrifice and relinquish command of the army.
When Jianghuai Jin under his command was the strongest, Zhang Shijie felt that he was the best candidate to lead all the troops of the Song Dynasty.
But now, the most powerful one is obviously the Polu army under Wen Tianxiang.
If the merger is brought up at this time, Jianghuai Army will definitely suffer some losses, but Zhang Shijie thinks this is not important.
After integrating his subordinates into the Polu Army, the army's supplies and ordnance will be more guaranteed.
With good friends such as Lu Xiufu mediating, Wen Tianxiang cannot completely exclude the Jianghuai Clan from the army in the future.
Moreover, after joining forces, he, Lu Xiufu and others can also exert a certain influence on the direction of the Polu army, so that this powerful force will not become Wen Tianxiang's private army and become a threat to the Song Dynasty.
The key is that after the Polu and Jianghuai armies merged, those local heroes who still had private soldiers no longer had any reason not to hand over their military power.
Their existence was a great hidden danger to the Song Dynasty.
If they dared to bring the late emperor into trouble for their own gain, they would have the courage to harm the current emperor.
If the little emperor made another mistake while the cause of resisting the Yuan Dynasty was advancing, I am afraid the blow to the Song Dynasty would be more serious than a defeat.
"Boom", "boom", a few more shots were fired sporadically outside, and cheers came from the position.
It seemed that the Beiyuan soldiers retreated again.
Zhang Shijie's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of gunfire, and he shook his head with a wry smile.
He had been fighting for a lifetime, but the war in front of him became more and more confusing.
Logically speaking, Beiyuan's soldiers should not just use these few moves over and over again.
Although the artillery sent by the Polu Army was powerful, the rainy weather had seriously affected the artillery's loading and shooting speed.
It often happened that the artillery failed to fire and the shells failed to explode.
Zhang Hongfan couldn't see such a good opportunity.
Is he still waiting for the rainy season in Guangnan to pass?
The rainy season in the second year of Xiangxing came late and went slowly.
Guangnan is a hot, humid and rainy place.

It has been raining intermittently for two months, and rivers large and small are full of water.
The usually docile Xijiang River roars, carrying the silt washed down from the upper reaches, passing through the state and government, and everything that dares to block it along the way is swept into the waves.
In this kind of weather and water conditions, no matter how capable the tide-wager is, he would not have the guts to go to the river to cause trouble.
All the passenger boats and fishing boats were moored lazily in the fork of the river where the current was smooth.
The boat bosses who were trying to make a living on the water retreated into the Ji Fei Tavern, borrowing two pennies for a large bowl of rice wine, and passing the boring and helpless time with market legends such as whose wife raised a man, and which celebrity wore a green turban.
"Look, the boat!"
Someone suddenly pointed at the river and shouted.
"What nonsense are you talking about?
You're crazy to want to go down the river."
Everyone responded with roars of laughter.
They turned their heads together and saw several flying boats flashing past on the vast white surface of the river.
"Oh my god, there are people going down the river in this weather.
It's life-threatening."
The boat owner, who has been boating for half his life and knows the depth of the water, shouted in surprise.
With a quick glance, they saw clearly the silhouette of the sails on the river.
They were not ordinary civilian ships, but Guangnan West Road, a post ship used to pick up and drop off officials from the Song Dynasty.
Normally, these ships are the most delicate.
If there is a slight storm, they will lie in the port without leaving their nests.
This time, I don’t know why I went crazy.
"If you can make people risk their lives, there are naturally errands that are more valuable than their lives.
Don't worry about them.
I'll be happy while I wait."
Someone bought another bowl of wine and said lazily.
"Yeah, don't worry about it.
Don't worry about the wind and rain outside the curtain.
It's none of our business."
Everyone responded with laughter.
Talking about the sky and the earth, intoxicated by the sun and moon in the pot
