Chapter 441 Move to Qiongzhou

After some operation, Zhao Bing used the conflicts of various factions to gain military power and certain autonomy without bloodshed, and also gained the power to speak at the court meeting. "This made him a little excited, but he didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He was a good engineer who was forced to change careers and engage in politics, and he was intrigued with others every day, seeking money and killing fortunes to plot against people's hearts. What made him even more worried was that the history he knew had turned into old paper in Yashan with the demise of the Song Dynasty, and a new history could only be created by himself.

Now that it is useless to think too much, we have to face reality. The storm is over and the blockade is lifted, and the contact point of the Bureau of Affairs immediately sends in the information from these days. Zhao Bing immediately realized that although the winning streak was not completely lifted. Although Ali Hague temporarily gave up the plan to attack Qiongzhou after all the warships were destroyed, he mobilized the army to strengthen the blockade of the coast and strictly prohibited ships from entering the sea to block Qiongzhou from obtaining supplies from Guangxi. He also recruited fishermen and people who were good at water along the coast to reorganize the navy, established a boat yard in Lianzhou to build warships, and prepared to attack Qiongzhou again after the rainy season.

After his defeat, Li Heng from Guangdong immediately mobilized the Red Army and surrendered troops from various prefectures to block out all coastal ports, strictly prohibiting all ships from entering the port, and even with all the plants and trees, he turned away merchant ships from various countries out of the port. In order to solve the problem of military pay, he took the name of a merchant in Guangzhou colluding with the Song army, and plundered the soldiers in Guangzhou city. The merchant ships moored in the port were expropriated, and the East and West Fanfang were also burned down, and ordered that anyone who had traveled with Qiongzhou be treated as a matter of communicating with the enemy. In just a few days, Li Heng's tyranny caused the people to fluctuate and the chaos continued. A large number of people fled overseas, and merchant ships fled far away.

After several months of cultivation, Liu Shen finally recovered, but was removed from his post and was idle at home to recuperate. After learning that Zhang Hongfan was defeated and killed, the Shumisu of Xingtai also strengthened his combat preparations, strictly investigated the merchant ships of various countries, and recruited the private troops of the Pu family in Quanzhou to patrol the sea. His behavior aroused the dissatisfaction of the Pu family, because Kublai Khan gave him the task of attracting investment and promoting the maritime trade show. However, merchant ships of various countries were intercepted by warships eight times a day, and who would dare to come ten times? Besides, his own ships were requisitioned, and the business was impossible, and the losses were too great!

However, the losses of the Yuan Dynasty were favorable to Qiongzhou. At first, those merchant ships were just watching the situation in Qiongzhou, but later they found that the conditions for trading in Qiongzhou had greatly improved and there were tax and fee discounts, so they opened their stalls in Qiongzhou to start trading. The long coastline was blocked and the situation where modern people had satellites, aircraft and ships. Moreover, at this time, after hearing the news, the smuggling ships from the Big 6 also flocked to Qiongzhou for transactions, which made them make a lot of money. What's more valuable is that they got unlimited business opportunities, and their business next year was probably better.

The whereabouts of the Yashan Mountain have been exposed. Zhang Shijie chose to settle here only to use this place as a fortress, not a base. Now that the border is blocked by the enemy, it will become more and more difficult for them to obtain supplies and personnel, and the enemy will not let them be safe here. They will definitely try to attack again. Besides, the rainy season has arrived and storms will become more and more frequent. Evacuation of Yashan Mountain early has become the most important task at present. The only place that meets the conditions is Qiongzhou, so if you don’t have to comment on it if you don’t have any questions...

Regarding the establishment of the Economic and Advisory House, Zhao Bing did not rush to open the door to open business, but instead recommended officials below the fifth rank and the Hanlin Academy to join the company. At the same time, he presided over the first court meeting. I don’t know if he had a successor or was interested in testing Zhao Bing’s ability, but Empress Dowager Yang did not attend. There was only one topic at the meeting - moving to Qiongzhou.

The people who moved to Qiongzhou had a premonition. Now they were discussing not whether to move or not, but how to go. Zhao Bing had already decided on this. The court had divided the court into three groups: because there were many wounded people in the court. The first group was led by Deng Guangjian to lead the wounded and relatives of each army and were escorted by Liu Shiyong in front of the palace. After two days, one was notified to Qiongzhou to prepare for the reception, and the other was promptly treated; the second group was released in five days, with Wen Tianxiang, Liu Fu and Zhang Shijie as the ministers of the Shangshu Province, led the Empress Dowager and most of the volunteers who were willing to move to Qiongzhou. This route was led by Zheng Yong to lead some guards and part of the Huai Army led by Lu Shicheng; Zhao Bing and 6 Xiufu led the Privy Council to lead the Destroying Army and some volunteers to cut off the rear, and escorted the baggage and prisoners of war, which was expected to be released in ten days.

Everyone has no objection to Your Majesty’s arrangements, and they feel very safe. Qiongzhou has few people and narrow land. If nearly 200,000 people suddenly flock in, they will definitely be overwhelmed with reception, which will inevitably cause chaos. Now, going in batches can be buffered, leaving time for Qiongzhou to prepare. In addition to calming people’s hearts, the intention is to take family as the quality, forcing those who do not want to leave to follow.

The second batch of evacuated central troops accounted for almost half of the dynasty. The Empress Dowager was the only one who could stabilize the hearts of the people. After all, the Emperor was still the one who could take action. She went to Qiongzhou first and asked her to make the decision. However, the central agency detained the Privy Council. Of course, everyone knew that it was the emperor's scruples. The Empress Dowager ordered the young emperor to take charge of the army. Leave the Privy Council to temporarily assist him in his work, and no one could say anything. Zhang Shijie lost his confidant and was unable to make small moves. Moreover, the baggage and property were all held in the imperial camp. Even if they wanted to slip away, they could only be pirates. After arriving in Qiong, everything they needed to be solved by the local area. If they wanted to make trouble, they had to ask their stomachs whether they agreed.

The emperor personally cut off the rear, which is an attitude that is enough to make people respect him. Of course, Zhao Bing would not let go of this risk-free show opportunity. It not only enhances his reputation among the military and civilians, but also stabilizes the morale of the army. At the same time, it also holds everyone's life gate tightly in his hands. If you want to run away, you come and beat me. Unfortunately, you can't beat me, so you can only obey.
