Three Buddhas are all on the pier.

The scorching sun is in the sky, and a bright and clear weather indicates a beautiful beginning.

"Our income this trip is pretty good. Excluding wages, principal, ship money, and bonuses are more than 300,000 taels of silver. If the purchased goods are transported back to Chinatown for sale, they can earn another 200,000 taels of silver, and this trip will earn 500,000 taels of silver." Su Dingfang calculated and said a little regretfully: "If the supply of goods is more sufficient, the bonus should be more than one million taels."

The dividend of 500,000 taels per trip is indeed a large amount. The treasury income of the Southern Song Dynasty court was only about 3 million taels per year, which is equivalent to a small treasury. If you earn 500,000 taels of silver at a time, you will have 500,000 taels of silver a year, and you will have 500,000 taels of silver a year, you will have 3 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to the treasury of the Southern Song Dynasty. In addition, the business of India, Japan and Taiwan can earn at least two to three treasurys of silver a year, which is really cost-effective.

Fang Mao was extremely impressed and said: "Mr. Su's business philosophy has been seen. It is so wise that I have never seen it or heard of it. If I hadn't seen it myself, I would have believed that there would be such a business. Not only did I sell tea, silk, and porcelain at a sky-high price, the candy would be even more amazing. It is really hard to believe that it is equal to gold."

"Mr. Fang, don't put gold on my face. This sugar is produced in China, and it is also produced in Taiwan. These three Buddhas do not produce at all. For them, this is gold. Only princes, ministers, wealthy businessmen and tycoons have the financial resources to buy it." Su Ding Fang explained humbly.

There was very little sugar produced in the Song Dynasty, and almost no production was produced in the Southeast Asian generation, so it could naturally be sold at sky-high prices.

Fang Mao said with great admiration: "I'm not talking about this. I'm talking about you, Lord Su, who uses the method of reducing the price of sugar, buy their specialties at low prices. Precious products such as rhino horns and ivory will be sold at sky-high prices in Middle Earth. That's not all, you also use the sugar card to raise the prices of tea, porcelain, and silk, which is really clever." He patted his head and said: "A rough man like me only knows how to dance with a knife and a gun, and even if he wants to break his head, he would never think of it."

"Haha, see where Lord Fang is talking about it. Isn't this all the experience accumulated in running this trade route a few years ago?" Su Dingfang did not dare to take credit and said, "If you, Lord Fang, hadn't protected you, you would have been so smooth."

Fang Mao said dissatisfiedly: "There are so many pirates. If it weren't for personal experience, I wouldn't have thought that there were so many bandits. The emperor of the Three Buddhas was really incompetent and turned a blind eye."

"Mr. Fang, what you said is wrong. As far as I know, pirates have a close connection with the emperor of Sanfoqi. Some are related to his ministers, and some are assigned by the emperor." Su Dingfang said dissatisfiedly: "They are jealous of the rich dividends of this trade route and want to enrich their personal pockets through robbery."

Collusion between officials and bandits also occurred in Central China, but it was so scary that it was so scary that it was just a matter of being intimidating. Fang Mao said a little disbelief: "Mr. Su, do you take this seriously?"

Su Dingfang said angrily: "Or why would their emperor get the money? This place is not Middle-earth, and it has abundant resources. If you have these things, it is useless at all. You have to force it to sell them to us." He was extremely dissatisfied with a piece of amber block.

When he saw this thing, Fang Mao came to his senses without any trouble and said, "They forcedly sold this useless thing to us. Fortunately, Lord Su was smart and made excuses on the grounds that he had never bought it."

They don't like this thing now, and in the near future, they will know how valuable it is. Almost all merchant ships returning to Middle-earth have to transport this thing.

Su Dingfang looked at the block and said, "Don't say, this thing may be sold at a high price when transported to Middle Earth. The color is good and looks very good. Please ask a few jade bows to carve it. It is a good decorative mouth. This thing is not afraid of anything, but it is afraid of fire. It will burn as soon as it burns, and it is still very smelly."

Su Dingfang's words were a bit incredible, Fang Mao could not believe them, and said, "Mr. Su, do you think this is true?"

Su Dingfang nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, that's it. Go back and tell me what I mean to the Prime Minister, ask a few jade workers to carve it and give it to the emperor. I have only seen this thing in the Three Buddhas, and it is not produced in other places. It's good. If the carving is done, it will be dedicated to the emperor, and the emperor will definitely like it."

He thought Li Jun had never seen such a strange alien, and he was very excited and flirted with joy. What he never expected was that Li Jun recognized what this body was at a glance.

"This thing is everywhere in the Three Buddhas, and it is expensive at all. Is it appropriate to offer it to the emperor?" Fang Mao said with some concern.

Su Dingfang smiled and said, "It's okay. We don't want to seek credit and reward, but we just presented it to the emperor as strange things in foreign lands to let the emperor understand the exotic style."

"It's reasonable." Fang Mao agreed: "I will tell the Prime Minister."

"I can't go back with Lord Fang, so I'd like to ask Lord Fang to say a few more beautiful words in front of the Prime Minister and General Zhao." Su Dingfang said with urgency.

Fang Mao nodded and said, "Mr. Su, please rest assured. Fang should report the achievements of Lord Su to the Prime Minister truthfully."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to take credit." Su Dingfang picked up the wine bowl and said, "Come on, Lord Fang, after drinking this wine bowl before we leave, it's time for us to set off."

Fang Mao picked up the wine bowl and said, "Mr. Su is going to Dashi, Daqin, the sea is far away, please take care of it!" He raised his neck and drank it dry.

"Damn!" Su Dingfang raised his neck and drank the wine, and said, "Mr. Fang, the road is smooth." He clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Fang, say goodbye." He strode on the boat.

With the sound of anchoring, the twelve sea ships led by Su Dingfang slowly left the port and sailed deep into the ocean, starting the famous maritime adventure.

His trip to the Qin Dynasty this time was of great significance. The footprints of the Chinese nation appeared on the ocean for the first time, and its influence was very far-reaching.

It was not until the Su Dingfang fleet disappeared that Fang Mao ordered the ship to start the return journey.

As the morning light came, the sun showed a little smile, and the earth was quiet and peaceful. However, the sound of whimpering horns from the Mongolian camp broke the tranquility. With the gathering of the Mongolian army, a solemn aura immediately covered the peace, and countless soldiers would lose their lives.

The Mongolian army lined up in neat battle formations. The soldiers carried a bag of soil on their backs and threw the bags of soil on their backs into the moat. In just a short while, the moat was filled half full.

Boyan used the moat with earth bags to fill the moat in Changzhou. He drove hundreds of thousands of people to fill the city with land. The direct consequence was that he would fill the moat with people and soil. Boyan hoped that the moon's fire was brought into the river to Liu Hezi, but in desperation, he decided to forcibly attack the city.

Looking at the half-filled moat, Wen Tianxiang and the others couldn't help but change their color. If they filled the Mongols and started to attack the city, with the courage of the Mongols, they really didn't know what was going to happen. Gundam said hurriedly: "Master, let's attack."

"It's okay, let them fill it." Li Junyan laughed at the banquet and did not take the Mongols seriously, saying: "There should be more people to defend the Dongqing Gate and Chongxin Gate. Although the gap was blocked by the stones, it was not steeper than the city wall. We must send heavy troops to defend it."

Last time, Boyan exploded the city wall and attacked the inner city. Although Li Jun used a strange method to annihilate tens of thousands of troops, Dongqing Gate and Chongxin Gate were not easy to repair and had not been rebuilt. He had to be warned that the Mongols used this as a breakthrough point. He used Huihuans to launch stones to block it, just like a mountain with a large bottom and a small top, with a slope, which was much easier to attack than the city wall. It was not that Li Jun did not want to rebuilt it, but was forced to repair it due to circumstances. If the Mongols took advantage of the opportunity to rebuilt the consequences, the consequences would be very serious and there would be no repairs.

"Prince, please rest assured that General Zhao Qianzhao's Xuanjia cavalry was deployed at Dongqingmen as the reserve team of Dongqingmen, and Xu Guanghan's special forces were at Chongxinmen." Liao Shenggong stated the military situation.

Zhao Qian's Xuanjia Cavalry and Xu Guanghan's special forces were two sharp blades in Li Jun's hands. With these two troops as reserve teams, Li Jun felt much more relieved and said, "That's good."

"Your Majesty, let's start fighting. Take advantage of the opportunity when the Tartars fill the river and fight hard. Let's spend a while to shock the Tartars." Liao Shenggong asked for a fight.

Li Jun stared at the city and said, "You are the commander of this matter, you have decided." This means that I will not interfere with your command.

In the Song Dynasty, the control of military generals was quite strict. There were not many things like Li Jun that delegated power. Liao Shenggong was very excited and said, "Thank you, the steel crossbow, the red cannon, and the fire!"

With his order, the steel crossbow became powerful, and the dense arrows flew down the city, shooting down many Mongolian soldiers. The sound of breaking through the air sounded, and the zha medicine bags flew into the Mongolian formation one by one, and the explosion sounded one after another, killing and injuring many Mongolian soldiers.

Boyan's hard heart is famous in history, and he will never be scared by this matter. He rode on the horse and watched quietly without frowning, as if the bloody scene did not exist.

After paying the price of corpses, the Mongols finally filled the moat and set up a ladder to attack the city. The arrows on the top of the city were like rain and the deadly zha medicine bags, so how could the Mongols attack? Occasionally, some people climbed up the city and cut them into pieces by Gundam command infantry.

Li Jun had already anticipated Boyan's re-attack and made full preparations. Liao Shenggong divided the army into several batches and took turns to defend the city. Each batch of troops was divided into several types, one was the crossbow soldiers responsible for steel crossbows, one was the archers who were archers, and the other was the infantry responsible for melee combat. Once Mongolian soldiers broke through the firepower net and climbed up to the top of the city, they were responsible for them. The entire defense system was very strict. Although the Mongolian soldiers were extremely brave, they could never attack the top of the city.

Boyan is a genius military strategist. Of course, he knows that it is easier to attack from Dongqingmen and Chongxinmen, and focuses on attacking Dongqingmen. Unfortunately, the firepower here is stronger. After paying a huge price, the Yuan army did not even climb to the city. The effect was not as good as other places.

In history, the Mongols were able to achieve great success, in addition to the rapid maneuverability of the cavalry, they also had advanced siege technology. Without the Huihuan, it could be asserted that the Mongols could not advance to the city of Lin'an so quickly. At that time, China's city walls were still very strong, and it was impossible to capture the strong city with the Mongol cavalry alone, because cavalry was only suitable for field battles and were useless in siege battles.

For this, those who are familiar with Mongolian tactics know that there were many walls hit by early Mongolians under the city, and sometimes they lost miserably.

In this siege battle, Boyan lost the most powerful siege weapon, the Revive Cannon, and became a war of attrition. He fought for three days in a row, and paid more than 20,000 yuan and did not achieve any results.

The situation Boyan is facing is quite serious now. His rear harassed Liu Hezi, and the supply was a problem. The people in the occupied areas were not cooperative, so the people near Lin'an withdrew. He wanted to plunder but had nowhere to plunder. The problem before him was either to capture Lin'an and succeed or to defeat the army.

In this dilemma of being unable to advance or retreat, he didn't even have the possibility of retreating. If he wanted to retreat, Li Jun would not be able to give him a chance. Liu Hezi would also actively support Li Jun's actions. Besides, if the war cannot be ended in a period of time, reinforcements from Guangzhou and Fuzhou will arrive. By then, how serious the problem is, as long as there is no problem with IQ.

Boyan now has only one choice, which is to conquer Lin'an at all costs and end the war. Although he paid more than 20,000 yuan, it was impossible to change Boyan's determination. Logically speaking, Boyan's determination will not change, but an unexpected event forced him to change his decision.

"Master, our arrows have been used up. Now we can only use wooden arrows, or not?" Gundam said worriedly: "If we use them, we will find that we don't have arrow shafts and if he keeps shooting, we will use up all the money?"

What Gundam said was exactly what Wen Tianxiang and the others thought. They looked at Li Jun with great agreement and waited for his decision.

"Can you not use it? What's the difference between not using it and opening the city gate and letting the Yuan army enter the city?" Li Jun also thought worriedly and said, "If you use it, we can't watch the Yuan army enter the city."

"That's right." Gundam nodded in agreement, saying, "What if the Beyan Tatars kept dragging it?"

Li Jun said the most helpless sentence he came to this world: "Take one step, count one step."

Li Jun's actions after coming to this world were all superior. Wen Tianxiang and the others were expecting Li Jun to have a good idea. Unexpectedly, he said such helpless words. He was very disappointed and couldn't help sighing in his heart. Before they could finish their anger, Li Jun's excited voice sounded, saying, "General Gao, what did you say? You said Boyan was going to drag it down?"

Gundam said in confusion: "Emperor, that's what I said. Emperor, what does this matter?"

Li Jun slapped his forehead twice, and his frown opened his frown and said, "Use it, use it quickly. I promise that Boyan will withdraw his troops immediately."

Boyan was determined to win Lin'an and had to take it down. If he found out that Lin'an had used up all the arrows, he would definitely take the opportunity to take down Lin'an. Li Jun actually said that he would withdraw his troops. This was really unbelievable. Gundam, Wen Tianxiang, and Liao Shenggong, who had always been resourceful, couldn't figure it out and looked at Li Jun in confusion.

Li Jun understood their thoughts, smiled slightly, and said, "Fight, you will know after you finish the fight."

With the use of wooden arrows, the firepower on the city was still fierce and the lethality was not reduced at all. The Mongolian soldiers fell to the ground one by one.

Tuluchi came to see Boyan excitedly with a wooden arrow shaft, and shouted from afar, saying, "Prime Minister, happy events, happy events, great events." His face was so excited that he was bloodshot and his face was full of redness.

"What's the matter? You're so happy." Boyan asked with a little excitement for his joy.

Tuluchi smiled and said, "Prime Minister, look, these are wooden arrows. Their arrows are used up. Lin'an City is about to be broken, and our great achievements are about to be completed." Beautiful little stars popped up in his eyes with excitement.

Boyan took the arrow shaft and looked carefully. His face, which was already a little happy, suddenly pulled down, and he could twist it out of water. He threw the arrow shaft to the ground. He looked at the majestic city wall of Lin'an reluctantly and said, "Tell me the order, stop the attack, and the entire army retreat."

Alahan also ran over with a wooden arrow and asked happily: "Prime Minister, why should we stop the attack? They all use wood as arrow rods. As long as we continue to fight, they will be exhausted."

Boyan was very well-educated, and a rare person cursed and said, "I'm just consuming everything, we're the one who consumed it first."

Alahan asked, "Prime Minister, why is this?"

"Look at the arrow shaft carefully, it is made of old dry wood, soaked in hot oil and dried. Although it is a little worse, the effect is not bad. The steel crossbow requires dense firepower, not accuracy, and there is no requirement for the quality of the arrow shaft." Boyan glanced at the confused Alahan and Tuluchi, and said, "This is the house that was demolished." He pointed to Lin'an City and said, "How many houses are there in the city? If the arrow shaft is demolished, how many arrows will be there? Aren't we going to use up all of them first?"

Alahan and Tulu opened their mouths so hard that they could no longer speak. They originally planned to start a war of attrition and consume all the arrows in the city, but they never expected that Li Jun would come up with such a way. It can be said that the arrows are endless and cannot be consumed at all. They can't be surprised.

Boyan looked at Li Junwei'an's body on the top of the city and said, "My An Da, you are so powerful, let's try it out, see if you can't afford it first, or I can't afford it first. I will pass on my order to build a village and prepare for a long-term siege. I don't believe that winter is coming, cold, hunger, and disease will not drag you down."

Alahan reminded: "Prime Minister, but we don't have much supplies anymore."

"What's so difficult about this?" Boyan thought for a moment and said, "We will build a simple wharf in Hangzhou Bay. As long as we can control goods, we just need to ask the navy to transport supplies to us."

Since the Battle of Jiaoshan, the Yuan Dynasty has completely established the advantages of the navy. If it transports supplies through the navy, it will be much safer than land. Alahan nodded in agreement: "This is a good idea. But what if reinforcements come to Lingnan?"

"I will order the navy to patrol the south and block the sea route. Even if Lingnan wants to reinforce it, we must also be prepared to block the reinforcements." Boyan answered very concisely and paused, "It's time for us to deal with the rear. Liu Hezi is making a fuss."

Guo Kan's plan to destroy the Song Dynasty required the use of the rapid maneuverability of the Mongolian cavalry to make a central breakthrough, reaching the city of Lin'an with lightning speed and destroying the Southern Song Dynasty. Now, Boyan has to change his course, which is tantamount to declaring that the plan has gone bankrupt.

According to common sense, the besieged side is getting weaker and weaker. However, what Boyan never expected was that what happened next made the Southern Song Dynasty stronger and stronger, and the balance of the war began to tilt towards the side that was beneficial to the Southern Song Dynasty. It can be said that the turning point of the entire war has arrived.
