Chapter 262 The king and the princess
Isn’t Hatbe Maruzo afraid of being surrounded by the Yuan Dynasty’s navy? The Yuan Dynasty had navy troops in all coastal provinces, such as the Zhejiang Navy and Guangdong Navy.
I'm really not afraid.
Because, since almost all the navy officers and soldiers were Han, the Yuan court was extremely guarded. Not only were they not allowed to go to the deep sea, they could only patrol near the coast, but the navy was not allowed to have connections, support each other, and go to the sea areas where the other party was responsible for.
If the Zhejiang Navy knew that the Fujian Navy was attacked, even if it wanted to support it, it would have to report to the court first, and the court would decide whether to support it.
The navy must not take the initiative to attack. If the slightly larger mobilization is required, there must be an imperial edict.
Therefore, although there were tens of thousands of naval commanders in the Yuan Dynasty, they were completely passive defense. As long as there were no large pirates landing invasion, they would be considered as completing the task.
Many overseas wars of the Yuan Dynasty relied on the army, and the navy was mainly used for transportation. This is also an important reason why the Yuan Dynasty always failed to conquer Japan, Java, and Annan: suppressing the navy.
It can be foreseen that if the Japanese pirates attacked the Fujian Navy, the Zhejiang Navy and Guangdong Navy would not be able to help. Even if they help, they would have to get the military order from the court. Then the daylily would be cold.
In the next half month, Han Shao brought gifts to deal with pirates of all sizes, and soon became acquainted with these pirates and warriors and gained their "friendship".
Finally, Han Gong met Xie Yuanlang, the remnant general of the Song Dynasty who fled to Jiuzhou. Xie Yuanlang was a general of Zhang Shijie. After the fall of Song Dynasty, he gathered thousands of remnant soldiers of the Song Dynasty and fled to Jiuzhou of Japan. Now he has become a pirate.
Even the Matsuura family in Hirado family sent "generals" to join the alliance.
By mid-March, even Lin Xunshi, who had copied the remnants of the Goryeo Sands, arrived, and joined the pirate coalition with the two thousand Goryeo Sands, who had vowed to never surrender to the Mongol Yuan.
Tens of thousands of people gathered in the entire Satsuma clan, and there were constant Yu's family, samurai, as well as Song, Goryeo, and Jurchens who were exiled to Japan, who came with weapons, shouted to fight against the barbarians and demanded to join the coalition forces.
As late March, the total force of the "Piracy" coalition has reached an astonishing 20,000!
Even the guardian of the Chuqian Kingdom and the general of the defense of Kyushu, Shao Erjingzi, rushed to Satsuma Kingdom in person.
Han Shao saw that Shao Er Jingzi was about thirty years old and not tall, but he was very general. He was full of energy in his words and conversations, his behavior was vigorous, and his temperament was relatively luxurious and graceful. At first glance, he was a powerful family member with a high status.
Shao Er Jingzi sent a batch of weapons, cheered up the coalition forces, encouraged them to capture Quanzhou, and then called on the Han people from Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong to respond to the uprising, restore the Song Dynasty, and jointly resist the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties.
Shao Er Jingzi, representing the Dazaifu and the shogunate of Kyushu, told the pirate leaders that they should cooperate with the Southern Rebel Army to cause trouble for the Mongols to the greatest extent.
Shao Er Jingzi said that the Song Dynasty had only been destroyed for two years, and the people in the south were concerned about the Song Dynasty. As long as they found the surviving Zhao Song royal family and established themselves as emperor, they would definitely have the support of countless Han people, and the Mongols would lose sight of one thing and the other.
"You guys, the feat of the volunteers this time may be a shocking and unexpected result. Even if the matter is not good, blood will sprinkle on the battlefield, it will greatly increase our ambition and destroy the barbarians' prestige!"
"For the basis of the civilization of the Three Kingdoms, to eliminate the barbarians and ugly people, and to open up another period of peace, please work hard. If you kill yourself and achieve good deeds, it will be an honor to not lose the body of a hero and not to humiliate the spirit of a hero! Please!"
The pirate leaders shouted together.
"Destroy the barbarians!"
"Kill all the ugly ones!"
"Heavenly punishes the Mongolian Tatars!"
As the envoy of "Chen Daju", Han Shao also shouted, but he did not expect that things would be so big.
It seems that the Chinese people have long wanted to take the initiative to attack the Mongol Yuan these days. The lord came to hire this time, just an introduction.
…………
Just when Han Shao was stranded in the Satsuma Kingdom and dealing with the pirate coalition, he was sent to Zongzhou, southern Fujian, and also dealing with the rebel camp in Yunxiao Mountain.
Zong Zhou has been to the Yunxiaoshan Rebel Army camp for almost ten days, but Chen Daju never made a formal reply.
The reason why Chen Daju did not reply immediately was that the ship where Li Luo delivered the food had not arrived yet.
Therefore, Zong Zhou was not in a hurry. The grain ship should be about to reach the beach. As long as Chen Daju gets the grain, he will definitely send troops.
Chen Daju would have attacked Quanzhou, but he just asked him to take action in advance.
Yunxiao Mountains are high and densely forested, and they are leaning against the sea, so Chen Daju was able to persist in the mountains until now. However, he could hardly hold on.
The rebels, the old and young, have 100,000 people, have to consume how much food every year? Although crops are also planted on Yunxiao Mountain, there is no enough food at all.
It is also difficult to get out of the mountains to harvest grain.
The Yuan army general Wan Zhedu was stationed in Zhangzhou City not far away. Tens of thousands of troops surrounded him, and the rebels could not go down the mountain to get food. Sooner or later, they would be trapped in the mountains.
But when Chen Daju was anxious, a guest came to the mountain, claiming to be the old subordinate of Zhang Taiwei of the Song Dynasty, came to support him and invited him to attack Quanzhou together.
After some temptation and conversation, Chen Daju was immediately moved.
As long as his rebel army could appear at the city of Quanzhou on April 2, the old troops of Zhang Taiwei could support him in five thousand stones of food.
He was forced to take the risk of attacking Quanzhou to supplement food and food. Zong Zhou's words were undoubtedly because he wanted to doze, so he came to give him a pillow.
However, Chen Daju still held an air and claimed that he could only decide to send troops when he saw the food.
At this time, Zong Zhou was in the camp of the rebel army and competed with Chen Daju to wrestle the arm.
"Brother! Why did you lose again?" A woman looked at Chen Daju who lost with dissatisfaction and said with her eyebrows raised.
Zong Zhou moved his wrists and smiled and said, "The king is so powerful. Even I, a man from a scheming background, can almost beat the king."
Chen Daju is indeed very strong, but he has not had enough food recently and has lost a lot of strength, so he is no longer a match for Zong Zhou.
The woman looked at Zong Zhou and sneered: "My brother just couldn't eat enough to lose to you."
Zong Zhou bowed and said, "What the princess said is that people are iron rice and steel, and heroes don't eat too much. If they don't eat enough food for a long time, even if Xiang Yu is resurrected, it will be different from the past."
He was hungry, and he didn't eat well until he followed Li Luo.
Zong Zhou called the princess on his mouth, but he felt a little funny. Chen Daju looked like a grassroots hero. Although this woman looked pretty, she was just a village girl, but she called herself a princess. Isn’t it funny?
Although Chen Daju called himself the "King of the Founding Kingdom of Min" and changed his reign to Changtai, he had no imperial temperament all over his body. This man was taciturn, loyal and resolute, and did not have the kind of elegance and nobleness of his lord. Rather than being the King of Min, he was like an ancient general.
"Princess" Chen Shanmei is not like a princess, but like a girl who is performing on the street. But when it comes to bow and horse martial arts, it is still good.
However, Zong Zhou admired the brother and sister very much. He has been rebelling against the Yuan Dynasty for several years, and it has been difficult to support it until now.
During these days, Zong Zhou had already figured out Chen Daju's strength.
The subordinates were no less than 100,000, but most of them were old, weak, women and children. There were only 20,000 elite men who could fight. There were only hundreds of war horses, but there were many armor, swords and guns. Most of them were supported by the Song army in the past, and some were robbed of the Yuan army.
Not to mention it, it is easy to pull up tens of thousands of soldiers to attack Quanzhou.
Moreover, Chen Daju's rebel army was quite strong. In addition to most Han people, there were also many She people in the army, who were very brave.
"Brother Zhou Zong, as long as the food you support arrives, the soldiers will eat for ten days to raise their strength, and will definitely jointly attack Quanzhou with you." Chen Daju said as the pseudonym of Zong Zhou.
It was a coincidence that as soon as Chen Daju finished speaking, a rebel general named Chen Sanwu came in and reported: "King, there are ships coming on the sea south of the mountain, and the food has arrived!"
Chen Daju suddenly stood up, his body filled with an unprecedented momentum, "I passed the order of the king to transport grain through Yingchao Ridge and return to the mountain. You should move quickly. Don't teach the Tartar Navy to inspect the inspection!"
When the grain transport team set off, Chen Daju strode to the knife holder, picked up a sword, and said, "Brother Zhou Zong, I have used this sword to kill ten thousand Yuan soldiers. When the soldiers have enough food to recover their strength, I vow to break through Quanzhou and destroy the Pu family!"
After saying that, Chen Daju shouted again: "Come here!"
The personal soldier said, "Here!"
"Beat the drum, raise the tent, and discuss matters!"
"promise!"
At a moment, the sergeant drums in the rebel camp sounded, and rebel generals with helmets and armor came in one after another, bowing to Chen Daju on the head of the commander's desk, shouting: "I've seen the king!"
"No!" Chen Dagu raised his hand.
Zong Zhou was a little dazed. At this moment, Chen Daju really had the momentum of a king.
