Of the 20,000-strong army, less than 300 people finally crossed the Huaihe River and returned to the base camp. Such a loss was unprecedented!
Although she had an absolute advantage in numbers, she was massacred by a group of martial artists. This was a crushing blow to the Mongolian myth of invincibility and an insult, even if the army led by Zhang Rou was not all Mongolian.
However, in order to plan this operation, Torregona sent almost all of his elite Han troops to him.
Turrego almost fainted when she got the news. If Zhang Rou hadn't died on the battlefield, she would have wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood. This paleness not only severely damaged her prestige, but if she didn't handle it properly, she would also be in danger.
It is very likely that his position as regent will not be guaranteed.
She was not in the right position, and she was the one who promoted the southern invasion of the Song Dynasty. When it came to who was most responsible for the failure of the southern expedition, she bore the brunt. Then she immediately summoned her cronies to discuss countermeasures, but she
The group of people gathered here are all flatterers, and no satisfactory results can be achieved after repeated discussions.
Until her number one confidant Fatima proposed a solution that was not a solution.
"Why not, in the name of avenging past shame, gather all the ministries to attack the Song Dynasty?"
………………
When the news of the Mongolian army's defeat reached Lin'an, everyone in the court was shocked. In Wu Zhiming's report, he of course tried his best to downplay the existence of Guo Jing and others. In his writing, the reason for this great victory was
, it is entirely his credit, the martial arts people are just playing a supporting role. Anyway, most people in the court do not like the martial arts people who are willing to take revenge, so there is almost no big risk in being greedy for merit.
The Song Dynasty has been weak for a long time. If it had not occupied the natural dangers and relied on the benefits of the Huaihe River, the Yangtze River and the criss-crossing water network in the south, coupled with the advantage of the southerners' ability to use water, to vigorously develop the navy, the various war zones would have been overrun by the Mongols.
Break them one by one.
This victory came too timely. This month, floods occurred one after another in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Lianghuai, Changzhou, Runzhou (now Zhenjiang) and Jiankang (now Nanjing), submerging large areas of farmland and villages, and causing great damage to people's lives and property.
With the loss, refugees were everywhere, rumors were flying all over the sky, and everyone in the court was busy relieving the victims, and there was chaos. This great victory was like nectar from heaven, and all the princes in the court finally had the opportunity to divert the attention of the people.
Promote! Must publicize! Promote fiercely!
As for whether the vigorous propaganda will make the Mongolians unhappy, it is almost imminent. They can't care so much. Overcoming the current difficulties is the most important thing. We can talk about the future matters later.
In this way, the news of the Song army's defeat of the Mongolian army spread throughout the world. The heroes were all furious when they saw the proclamation issued by the imperial court. Their contribution was not mentioned at all in the proclamation. Although they fought against the Mongols with passion, they were already
It was not for fame and fortune, but the fact that the imperial court turned a blind eye to their achievements still aroused resentment among most people.
Fortunately, Guo Jing's reputation was high enough and he could barely appease the emotions of the heroes. However, he also knew that this kind of thing could not be avoided. Sooner or later, some people would be driven away by the court's neglect, and a great victory like Wuhe City might not be possible in the future.
It's hard to reproduce again.
The Mongols are not fools. This kind of thing has never happened before. They will definitely learn a lesson after this time. In the future, the army will definitely be accompanied by people from all walks of life. Although they are not as good as our own in terms of number and quality, don't use bean bags as dry food.
No matter what, it will have a certain impact on one's own side.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong thought about it, but could not think of a solution for a while. The imperial officials had always looked down on the martial arts people for a day or two. If they wanted to make them recognize the role of the martial arts people head-on, it would be like going to the sky.
Disaster!
………………
On Fuxing Island, Li Jie was not surprised at all when he learned about the announcement issued by the imperial court. It was a fool's errand to want the officials to acknowledge the contributions of Guo Jing and others.
The only thing that moved him and pleased him was that the use of gunpowder did not disappoint him. The gunpowder provided to Guo Jing this time was a type of black gunpowder, but this gunpowder was already a product of the previous generation of Fuxing Society, and the power of the latest generation of gunpowder no longer belongs to future generations.
Mainstream gunpowder in the seventeenth century.
The manufacturing process of mononitrate, disulfide, charcoal and black powder is not complicated, and it is not difficult to obtain these things. The firearms laboratory has begun to work on the next generation product 'smokeless gunpowder'. Compared with black powder, smokeless gunpowder explodes
The energy released is the most, and it is slag-free and smoke-free, making it an ideal propellant for guns and cannons.
After several years of development, Li Jie has rarely intervened in the affairs of the laboratory. He has allowed researchers to solve the difficulties encountered in experiments as much as possible. Only hematopoiesis on his own is in line with the long-term development of the force.
The frequency of Li Jie's visits to Fuxing Island has also decreased. He only comes once a month, and the time he stays is much shorter than before. Apart from occasionally giving lessons to school students, the rest of the time is basically spent walking around.
Give everyone a boost of presence.
The people of this era are not like people of later generations, who are accustomed to hearing all kinds of chicken soup for the soul. Just mentioning a few chicken soups that have been talked about in later generations can have good results.
Of course, everything must be done in moderation, and going too far is not enough. Li Jie always strictly controls the frequency. In fact, it doesn't matter if he doesn't say it. Compared with the outside world, life on Fuxing Island is simply a paradise, even if it is
The most ordinary residents only eat white rice and occasionally eat meat. Not to mention they live in cement flat-roofed houses, which are extremely sturdy.
In addition, what makes them most satisfied is that no matter whose children their children are, they can go to school and get a good education. No matter what they do in the future, they will be more promising than most of them.
The food and clothing provided in the front meet their material needs, and the children's education meets their spiritual needs. They have a head start in the future and are full of energy when working. In addition, Li Jie occasionally encourages them.
The enthusiasm for work was completely aroused, and the implementation progress of all projects was ahead of schedule.
Seeing that the development of the Fuxing Society is gradually getting on the right track, Li Jie is ready to invest his energy in other areas, such as martial arts. The sooner he breaks through to the master level, the sooner the Fuxing Society's business on the mainland will expand. The original owner's martial arts talent will be recognized all over the world.
It is also one of the best, and coupled with his great master's knowledge, breakthroughs are like eating and drinking to him.
According to the current progress of cultivation, the day when I will become a master is not far away!
In addition to martial arts, Xiao Longnu's strategy also needs to be accelerated. It is rare to have a leisurely development period. If you miss this period, it will be a waste.
