"Now we have officially faced the Mongols, including Goryeo, Liaodong, Liaoxi, Yanyun, and even the coastal coast of the Whale Sea to the east, all coastal areas are battlefields. The Yidu side is about to launch an army, and I don't know when the Mongolian civil war will be decided. We don't have much time left for us, so we must start as soon as possible. Within one month, I will launch an attack in Longzhou, Jinzhou, Yuguan and even Yanyun coastal areas! What do you think? Is it too late?"

After sending Liu Xiaoyuan away, Chen Dexing immediately recruited all his advisers and generals to the Mani Mountain City and held a meeting around a military map drawn by Chen Dexing himself.

The content of the discussion at the meeting was to go to war with Mongolia! And it was not a small fight, but a full-scale war, a full-scale battle! No matter whether it was Tachar's territory, Tauian's territory, or the land directly under Kublai Khan's jurisdiction.

In short, it is just a matter of one sentence, make the best use of the advantages of the sea and launch a comprehensive offensive against Goryeo, Liaodong and western Liaoning!

Although Chen Dexing is now a small army and a small number of generals, the initiative in the war is really in his hands! Because he controls the sea, he also has two powerful weapons, artillery and black H medicine, and the army is not weak. Moreover, the Mongols of this era have another military weakness, focusing on offense and neglecting defense, especially dislike defending the city, and usually demolishes the solid cities in the occupied areas. The entire northeast coast can be said to be unprepared at all. Chen Dexing, who controls the sea, attacks wherever he wants!

Chen Dexing swept across the generals in the house with bright eyes. They were all middle and high-level leaders of the Northern Expedition Army Army and Navy, admirals of the Northern and Southern Fleet, and generals of the Army and the upper, middle and lower army. Everyone had a look of eagerness to try.

No matter what kind of twists and turns there were, there were actually no twists and turns. Chen Dexing lost a friend of the artillery. The Northern Expedition Army had established a firm foothold on the coast of Goryeo and had its own territory. It also defeated the Pu family naval army twice in Dinghai and Jianghua Island, and basically seized the maritime power.

The problem now is that the Mongols occupied the Xijing of Goryeo, the front line of Kaijing, to compete with Chen Dexing for the rule of Goryeo.

If you can't take Goryeo, the 200,000 people who followed Chen Dexing did not have a stable rear. The food, the people and the wood needed for shipbuilding have no stable source. There is no big problem in the short term, and it will be a bit troublesome to last!

So it is best to drive the Mongolians away from the land of Goryeo before this autumn harvest. In this way, Chen Dexing will have a portion of the autumn grain of Goryeo!

The reason why Chen Dexing attached so much importance to Goryeo is actually related to the murders of the Mongols in Liaodong and western Liaoning in their early years. Liaodong and western Liaoning were already the place where agriculture was developed during the Liao Dynasty. Although it declined after the rise of the Jurchens, it soon recovered its vitality. For example, Chen Dexing wanted to seize Jinzhou, which was the base camp, that is, Dalian City in later generations. It was Suzhou during the Liao Dynasty, and later became Jinzhou. They were both relatively densely populated and very developed agriculture.

But now, there are no prefectures and counties, and they have become the pastures of the Mongolians! In Liaodong, the Mongolians implemented the ethnic policy of "returning farmland to grass", turning farmland into pastoral areas, turning farmers into slaves, and turning skeletons!

In history, it was not until Kublai Khan settled the Southern Song Dynasty that he would set up tens of military farms in Liaodong and forced farmers to reclaim them from the Central Plains, which allowed Liaodong to develop again. The desolate time lasted for more than 60 years!

If Chen Dexing wants to establish a large base in Jinzhou, he must have a large rear that can transfusion blood for Jinzhou.

This big rear can only be Goryeo at present!

"Can the Shangjun and the Beiyang Fleet move?" Chen Dexing first asked about the situation of the troops.

"It can be activated at any time!" Lu Hu patted his chest and promised.

"As long as the wind is opposite, the fleet can set off at any time!" Gao Da also made a promise.

"Where is the central army?" Chen Dexing said again. "How is the formation of the central army?"

The Northern Expedition Army is now the upper, middle and lower army, among which the upper army is the main force, with full personnel and officers well-equipped. The Central Army and the Lower Army are now stationed troops. The Central Army guards Ganghwa Island, and the Lower Army guards Jeju Island at the same time, and the Small Army separates a small number of troops to guard Zhen Island, Jeju Island and Busan Port. Both of these armies are now being formed. The Central Army General appointed Liu Monkshang, and the Lower Army will be taken over by Wang Wei.

Liu Monk replied: "The central army has expanded to 6,000 people. In addition, there are more than 1,500 soldiers from the Southern Dynasties and the North on Jianghua Island, and they are now under the jurisdiction of Lu Muban. They are also under the jurisdiction of the Central Army. There are nearly 1,000 teachers and students of military academy, 2,500 reserve troops, and 2,000 guards who are ready to stay on Jianghua Island, with a total of more than 13,000 soldiers, all of which are warable."

"Will 10, our food, ships, and civilians prepare them within one month?" Chen Dexing asked in a low voice.

Huang Zhishen nodded: "The master has 150,000 stones in the grain stock. Regardless of the navy, the ships can collect more than 100 ships, all of which can carry more than 2,000 stones. As for the civilians, they can use about 30,000 stones..."

"Ministry, don't use the Han people we brought!" Chen Dexing interrupted.

"That can only be collected at most 10,000 people."

Chen Dexing smiled and nodded. There were a lot of 10,000 people, which was enough to start construction in Jinzhou.

If the Northern Expedition Army wants to advance along the land, 10,000 warriors will require at least tens of thousands of civilians and auxiliary soldiers to provide logistics support. However, if you attack by sea, a sea ship can carry 200,000 stones! The large chariots of civilians and 50,000 people do not have such capacity. Moreover, the civilians and the mules and horses that pull the cart will consume food, and as long as the sea ship does not overturn, there will be no loss. Several crew sailors cannot eat much.

So the 10,000 people were not used to transport grain, but to build a city-building team. The Mongolians not only turned the agricultural areas in Liaodong into pastures, but even demolished the cities built by the Liao and Jin dynasties. Chen Dexing could only ask someone to rebuild them.

However, such a situation also facilitates Chen Dexing to occupy the treasure land of Jinzhou! Even if the Mongols saw through his plan, they had no way to defend it.

"Where is the cannon? How many are available now?"

"There are 24 navy gates, 32 army gates, and 4 military academy gates." Zhang Shijie, a military advisor of the Staff Department, replied.

"The Military Affairs Department can take out 15 more doors in one month!" Ren Yijiang added, frowned, "The production of gunpowder is not low, and it can produce 1,500 kilograms of black gunpowder in a month, but everything else is missing, especially not enough iron!"

During this period, the Military Affairs Department has opened the Artillery Casting Bureau and the Gunpowder Bureau on Jeju Island, trying every means to expand production. The work of casting artillery and refining gunpowder is very tight! However, the work of iron smelting, shipbuilding, equipment (cold weapons) and other bureaus has progressed slowly.

The main problem is that there is a lack of raw materials - there is no shortage of copper for making cannons, and there are still tens of thousands of stagnant coins to melt! Sulfur and flame nitrogen can be purchased through marine trade. As for purifying sulfur and flame nitrogen, the raw materials for purifying sulfur and flame nitrogen are all agricultural products, and as long as you are willing to spend money, you can still get it.

However, iron ore and the best dry wood for shipbuilding are in short supply. Especially high-quality iron ore is in short supply. Therefore, although the Iron and Metallurgical Bureau has built several furnaces, it has not been able to refine good iron and cannot make any good weapons. It can only be used as shells and thunder shells.

The wood is too anxious, so I organized people to cut it and then slowly dry it. Iron ore... Both Northern Goryeo and Liaodong are both in the hands of Mongolians. When they grab Liaodong and Goryeo, they will be missing nothing!

...

"Second brother, second brother..."

After the meeting, Chen Dexing was walking in the corridor of Mount Mani, and a soft call suddenly came from his ears.

The person who came was Wang Rong'er, who was responsible for taking care of Guo Fu'er. Chen Dexing hurriedly looked around, and only Chen Derui, who was the same clan as him, followed him.

"Well! By the way, Lao Wu (Chen Derui's ranking among the clans), go and call Yingniang here."

Chen Dexing deliberately sent Chen Derui away and asked him to go to the Tiandao Sect headquarters in Jianghua Island City to find a goddess stick. This goddess stick came this morning. He was stormed and was so dizzy that he was still recuperating.

After sending the followers, the two walked side by side in the secluded and uninhabited corridor in Mount Mani. After a while, they arrived outside a rather quiet residence.

"Rong'er, guard outside." Chen Dexing whispered, then pushed the door and walked in, then closed the door gently.

Guo Fu'er knelt inside. When she saw Chen Dexing coming in, she sighed and said, "You have finally settled down and are going to fight again. I don't know when I will come back..."

The voice was filled with worry and helplessness. Chen Dexing's heart trembled when he heard it. Looking up, Guo Fu'er's eyes were slightly red and he was staring at him, his eyes were full of worries, and he couldn't help but say, "Fu'er...why should I take you with me?"

"Nothing!"

Guo Fu'er gently curled her lips and said lightly: "You have a bunch of wives and concubines now, and you have to take them with you... Xian'er must guard An'er, bring Baoyin, Yue'er, Lin'er and Rong'er to go to war together. Now you only have An'er, and you are always unreliable. You have to let them all be pregnant quickly."

"Then Cuixian and An'er are bothering you to take care of you..."

Chen Dexing looked at the woman in front of him. Compared to Li Cuixian who was thinking well, he trusted Guo Fu'er more. He paused and said, "Or why I take Cuixian away, and An'er will be taken care of. If anything happens, An'er will ask you!"

Guo Fu'er frowned and glared at Chen Dexing with anger: "I'm talking nonsense again! I'm still waiting for you to respect me as the queen!"

Chen Dexing smiled: "Isn't this the case?" Seeing Guo Fu'er's blaming eyes, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Okay, then let Cuixian stay with you, I won't be surprised. But Fu'er, you should take care of yourself, take good care of yourself, and wait for me to come back with peace of mind."

Guo Fu'er smiled: "That's right, second brother, remember to bring Yang Po'er back completely. This time she blocked the disaster for me. You must not ignore her..."
Chapter completed!
