"I accept the order!"

Li Goudan bowed solemnly again.

Zhao Dongting smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Then you go down and make inventions with all your heart.

You don’t have to pay attention to the other matters, open and secret struggles on the official side, I will take care of you."

Li Goudan bowed and slowly retreated outside the imperial study room.

Zhao Dongting's eyes fell back to the memorials in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Today, the Song Dynasty has gradually formed the prototype of the society in later generations, and what is needed is probably the accumulation of time.

And that is not something he can do.

He vaguely remembered that historical books said that the population of the Southern Song Dynasty was about 80 million.

Even if this is just a parallel world, it should be similar.

Later, he was slaughtered by the Yuan army, and nine out of ten families were empty, especially in the northern and central Shu areas.

After Zhao Dongting implemented the new policy, he conducted a census of the national population.

After rough calculations, there were probably only more than tens of millions of people in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Now, as ten years have passed, he has vigorously encouraged childbirth, and now there are nearly 100 million people in the Southern Song Dynasty.

He was able to solve the food problem of nearly 100 million people, and he still had surplus food, which was enough to be proud.

It is almost the limit that the knowledge he brought from his previous life can achieve.

Time passed a few days later.

Ba Tong led his army outside Guoluo City.

Zi Gaoyi, the governor of Guozhou, really led the city officials and the defenders to surrender.

All the five thousand defenders were not wearing armor and carrying weapons.

Outside the city, there are piles of weapons, armor, neatly arranged knives, chariots, and other things.

After Ba Tong led his army to the city, Zi Gaoyi led the civil servants and generals in the city to meet him quickly.

When he arrived in front of the army, he bowed to Batu and said, "Zi Gaoyi, the governor of Guozhou, led all the officers and soldiers of the city to surrender, and ask the President of Batumi to accept it!"

But Batumi has also read the information about Zi Gaoyi.

This Han magistrate was an official in Guozhou and was quite famous.

It is said that he loves the people as much as his son, and this is why he, who is already talented, has never been promoted.

At that time, the Yuan Dynasty's iron hooves scattered across Asia and Europe, and the plundering ability was as good as the plunder.

What they want is not that all the people in the world can live in peace, but that all the resources in the world are gathered in themselves.

However, Zi Gaoyi tried to benefit the people in Guozhou on the contrary, so he could not be liked by the upper class of the Yuan Dynasty.

If Guozhou had not been well managed, there had never been any trouble in Guozhou, and the people had caused chaos, he would have been unable to stay in this official position any longer.

Batumi was much more polite to Zi Gaoyi than to the Zhuyang County Magistrate. He turned over and dismounted and smiled, "Zi Magistrate does not need much politeness, no politeness."

Zi Gaoyi heard this and said, "Since the moment Zi led his army out of the city, he was no longer a magistrate."

"Um!"

Batumi was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "That's true."

After the soldiers of Tiangui Army took over the weapons and armor outside the city, Batong and others led the army to follow Zi Gaoyi into the city.

Perhaps because of Zi Gaoyi, the people in Guoluo City not only did not have any hostility towards the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, but instead welcomed their arrival.

Some people were greeted by the streets in the city.

They have not had a good time under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty in recent years.

The arrival of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty was not a kind of hope for them.

Zi Gaoyi followed Batumi. Seeing this scene, he had a look of relief and relaxation in his eyes.

He no longer cared about personal honor and disgrace. He felt satisfied only when the people in the city could understand and support his decision.

Then he asked Batong: "President Ba, don't you know when your army will come to Guoluo?"

Batong was slightly stunned when she heard this, then shook her head and said, "Our Tiangui Army was ordered to capture and guard the land of Guozhou. In a short period of time, our Song Dynasty imperial guards will not come again."

Zi Gaoyi looked anxious in his eyes and said, "But Hezhong Prefecture and Henan Prefecture are not far from this Guozhou. If these two prefectures come to seize the city, can the general president stop it?"

Batumi chuckled and said, "I don't think they will have that courage."

Seeing that Batumi looked so confident, although he was suspicious, he did not ask any more questions.

Although he had surrendered, he had no reason to get involved in these things before he was fully accepted.

He didn't know that Zhang Guangbao, who was in Shangzhou, had already dispatched Yuan Kangbo to lead the Tianfan Army to guard Luonan County.

In Shangzhou and Guozhou, there are 30,000 soldiers gathered in Tiangui, Tianfan and Luzhou garrison.

Such troops are definitely not short.

Even if the Yuan army in Hezhong Prefecture dared to invade Guoluo City, Yuan Kangbo had enough time to support him.

Shangluo, Luonan, and Guoluo, the Song army has formed a front line here.

Shi Kaiji also led Tianshen, Tianmeng, Tianchuang, Tianqiao, Tianqiao, the four armies of Tianqiao, Chengdu Prefecture, Jiading Prefecture's garrison soldiers to leave Qianyou Town and approach Lan Pass at the border of Jingzhao Prefecture and Shangzhou.

Qianyou Town is guarded by only a few hundred soldiers.

Lan Pass can be said to be a key military strategist.

The Yuan army arranged heavy troops here.

But those heavy troops were afraid that they would be in a dilemma to block Shi Kaiji's nearly 80,000 troops.

At this time, the Yuan Censor Bing Wenxuan, who was in charge of Jingzhao Prefecture, had already seen Shi Kaiji's intention and dispatched a large army from the ancient capital Xianning to Languan to support him.

Here, a war is probably about to break out.

Because it is much easier to get the soldiers of the Song Dynasty to take down Lan Pass and then go from Shangzhou to Jingzhao Prefecture, and there is no need to travel around the original road.

But before Shi Kaiji led his army to Lan Pass, the war broke out in the north of the Jiankang Military Region of the Song Dynasty.

Calculate the time, it has been more than a month since Huang Hua led the Imperial Army of Xingguo Military Region, Longxing Prefecture, Fuzhou and Jianning Prefecture Arrivals to Chuzhou.

Such a long time is enough for him and Su Quandang to deploy.

Before, the Jiankang Military Region only occupied the surroundings and did not advance northward. This time, as soon as it entered the Yuan Dynasty, it was a shocking formation.

The Xingguo Military Region has 60,000 imperial guards and 60,000 garrison troops, totaling 120,000 soldiers.

There are also 120,000 soldiers in Jiankang Military Region here.

This is a total of 240,000 soldiers.

Before, when there were no Shenlong guns and other objects in the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were invincible.

Although the Yuan army now has Shenlong Guns and other objects, of course it is still difficult to have the same strength as the Song Dynasty imperial guards.

This is related to many factors, such as training, policy, etc., and cannot be easily caught up.

First of all, the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty had faith.

The blood-red national flag is their faith.

Furthermore, the treatment enjoyed by the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty was not comparable to that of the Yuan army.

There are also many reward policies in the military.

The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty could be exchanged for military merits, military merits could be promoted, money, and house foundations. There were many different schools.

These are policies that were not available in the Yuan Dynasty's army.

Just imagine how can the morale of such two armies be the same when they fight?

The 240,000 Song army was enough to make the Yuan army in the two Shandong and Shandong East Roads of the Yuan Dynasty feel cold.

It was when the army of Jiankang Military Region and Xingguo Military Region did not show any signs of attack, the censors of the two routes had already rushed to Zhongdu for help.

Now that Jiankang Military Region and Xingguo Military Region are moving together, that is even more amazing.

Tens of thousands of troops from the east and west of Shandong gathered in Suqian, while the east of Shandong gathered in Shuyang.

They probably knew that it was an opponent of the Song Dynasty's Imperial Army, and wanted to temporarily block the Song army's footsteps and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

In response to the Song Dynasty's layout in the northern border, Emperor Zhen Jin of the Yuan Dynasty had gathered troops at Damingfu Road, Hebei East Road and other places, and General Harbala personally took charge and rushed towards the southern border of the Shandong East Road and Shandong East Road.

It is said that Harbala has a total of 400,000 troops.

Of course, this is specially designed to resist the army of Xingguo Military Region and Jiankang Military Region.

To this day, the imperial troops of the Song Dynasty were divided into three groups, with Jingzhao Prefecture, Nanjing Road, and Shandong East Road as breakthroughs.

There was no reason for the Yuan Dynasty not to respond.

Zhenjin ordered that Harbala led his army to the Eastern Route Army to block the Jiankang Military Region and Xingguo Military Region.

At the same time, more than 100,000 troops were gathered for Yuanwu Enterprise to serve as the Central Army and block the Xianglong Military Region army within Nanjing Road.

But of course the coach is no longer Yuanwuqi.

Real Jin appointed the veteran general Zhanbutai, who had not gone to war for many years, as the head coach.

Speaking of the man Zhanbutai, his seniority is even higher than that of Boyan and Yesuer.

He used to be outstanding in military achievements and was no longer inferior to Boyan.

Only afterwards did he rarely appear in the court again due to injuries.

But his prestige remains in the army.

Real gold has now re-activated him as the head coach, probably because there are not many generals in the Yuan Dynasty who can be of great use.

It turns out that the dilemma of disagreement that the Song Dynasty faced had already laid hidden dangers in the Yuan Dynasty.
