In the imperial study room, Li Jun stood in front of a giant world map, Wen Tianxiang, Chen Yizhong, Lu Xiufu, Gundam, Zhao Liangchun and others stood behind him, looking at the map intently.

Li Jun turned around and faced Wen Tianxiang and the others and said, "You can see clearly that this is the entire territory of the Mongols, composed of the Khanate, the Ogedei Khanate, the Ili Khanate, and northern China, including Northern China, the Western Regions, the Middle East, Central Asia, Siberia, and most of Europe east of the Danube. The total area is nearly 30 million square kilometers. It is the largest empire in human history. And now we only have half of the country and half of the country, and only such a large part. Compared with the power of the Mongols, the gap is very obvious, just like the difference between a child and a giant.

"I believe that we will not lose in this war, but this war will be a long-term war. Once the Mongols fail, they will inevitably mobilize their strength from other places, that is, from the Semu area, to make a comeback, because they are all descendants of Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan is the god in their hearts, and they will not be willing to fail. We must be prepared for a protracted war. I think about it, while carrying out the Lin'an defense battle, it is urgent to build the strategic rear. Once the strategic rear is managed, we don't have to worry about food, weapons, patronage, soldiers, and taxes.

"From the current situation, I think it is better to set the strategic rear in Fuzhou and Guangzhou. What do you think? What do you think? Let's talk about it, let's discuss it together and we will always find a solution." (Note: The Mongol Empire mentioned by Li Jun is not complete, not including later India. At the end of the 14th century, the Mongol Temur established rule in Samarhan in Central Asia and once captured the Indian capital New Delhi. His fifth-generation grandson Babur defeated the Sultan army that ruled India at that time and established a dynasty. This is the famous Mughal dynasty in Indian history. India was also called the Mughal Empire at that time. The time difference between the two was large, so Li Jun did not count it.)

The territory of the Mongolian Empire marked on the map hand-painted by Li Jun was so large that it was unimaginable that the Mongols were so powerful that no one could imagine. Even the heroes who were as brave as Wen Tianxiang could not help but gasp.

The anxious Gundam immediately expressed his opinion: "Your Majesty, I am a rough man, but I don't understand those strategic issues. I only know one thing, that is, wars will have huge consumption, and they can withstand consumption to win. I think it is feasible to use Fuzhou and Guangzhou as the strategic rear. I have no objection and support the emperor's idea of ​​operating the strategic rear."

"Yes, General Gao makes sense. The emperor's idea behind the construction strategy is an extremely wise decision." Wen Tianxiang said with admiration. Lu Xiufu, Gao Da, Zhao Liangchun and Chen Yizhong nodded and said yes.

Chen Yizhong, who has always advocated moving the capital, did not act like a coward this time. On the contrary, he performed quite well: "I used to be wrong, and it was ridiculously wrong. I thought the Mongols were just Tartars who were uncivilized in the northern part of the desert. I didn't expect that they were so powerful, so I thought about moving the capital and giving in. If I had known that they were so powerful, I would never recommend moving the capital, because the Tartars were too powerful. They would chase them wherever we went, and they would chase them even at the ends of the world. Only by raising a counterattack was our only way to live."

"I finally figured it out." Li Jun was very satisfied with Chen Yizhong's performance. In history, Chen Yizhong advocated moving the capital and fleeing, which was annoying, but it was much better than the surrender advocated by Jia Sidao. Once he made up his mind to demand the War of Resistance, wouldn't he have another minister?

Li Jun said slowly: "I decided that Lu Xiufu is responsible for Fuzhou, and Chen Yizhong is responsible for Guangzhou. Chen Yizhong is stronger than political affairs, but he is poor in military affairs. I decided that Zhao Liangchun will be your assistant. If you are responsible for administrative affairs, Zhao Liangchun will be responsible for military affairs."

"Abide by the order." The three people received the order.

"The refugees outside Lin'an City have been evacuated to Fuzhou and Guangzhou areas under the arrangement of the Ministry of Revenue. People within 500 miles of Lin'an are also retreating south. Resettlement of these refugees will be the top priority. You must be more attentive." Li Jun began to assign tasks: "I decided to let refugees reclaim more wasteland and increase food. Refugees enjoy ownership of the fields that refugees have on their own. In the first year, not only are they exempt from taxes, but the court also needs to give ploughing tools and livestock to help them resume production. In the second year, they are also exempt from taxes. Three years later, 10% of the rent and taxes will be collected and the eleventh tax will be implemented. The courts will send people to measure and record them for reference, avoid mergers of powerful people, and ensure that the ploughers have their own land."

During the Southern Song Dynasty, the people had a heavy tax quota and had to pay 50% of the rent from the government. The output was very low at that time, and 50% of them were enough to eat, and supporting the family became a problem. Many families did not have enough food, and many women had to drink porridge for their lives and save the food for men. Because men were full of food, they had the energy to work and support a family. A very sad result was that these women who had drunk porridge all their lives had good porridge, which was not worse than the imperial chef.

Since then, after Li Jun's efforts, the land was remeasured several years later in the Southern Song Dynasty. The farmer had the land, and the farmers owned the land themselves, and the eleventh tax was implemented, which reduced the burden a lot and greatly increased its enthusiasm. Not only did agricultural production not be damaged by the war, but it produced more food instead.

Li Jun continued: "The Mongols thought that the main war in Lin'an would end. They were dreaming that we still have Fuzhou and Guangzhou to rely on, and there is such a vast territory, and there is enough marching space to use, resist step by step, consume the enemy, and wait for a favorable counterattack opportunity."

Another explanation of Li Jun's words is: never surrender and resist to the end.

Li Jun's words were deeply agreed by Wen Tianxiang and others, and they said together: "I am loyal to the country and I am willing to do whatever I want."

Li Jun continued: "Guangzhou is a natural good port and a base for the foreign trade of the court. When you arrive in Guangzhou, you must build the port larger and transform the existing ships according to this drawing. This is a ship that uses animal power, has a power system, has a faster navigation speed and is more efficient. You can produce more according to the drawings and increase the scale of overseas trade as much as possible."

Picking up a drawing, he said, "This is a chart, which is more comprehensive and detailed than the existing chart, which can guide navigation well. To the east is Japan, here is Taiwan, to the south is Zhendu, and to the south is Sanfoqi. After passing the Strait of Malacca, go westward, and bypass the Cape of Good Hope and go north, you can reach here, the Dashi Empire, and then go to the Great Qin Empire." Li Jun pointed to the map and explained. (Note: Dashi is the ancient Persian Empire, and Daqin is the ancient Roman Empire.)

I personally believe that an excellent historian is also an excellent geography because learning history is inseparable from human geography. Historians like Li Jun are familiar with geography, so it is not difficult to draw a chart with modern characteristics.

The Dashi and Daqin are both recorded in history, but due to the long journey, they almost did not enter directly to interact with each other. There are many different opinions on where the two countries were. When Li Jun mentioned these two countries, Wen Tianxiang and others were very surprised and looked at Li Jun with incredible eyes.

Li Jun knew what they were thinking, but he didn't point it out, and then said: "The Great Food Empire has now become a vassal state of the Mongols, and the Hui Hui cannon was produced by the Great Food Empire. The deputy general manager of the Hui Hui gunman battalion was Buber, who used the Hui Hui cannon to burn Zhang Shijie's ship in Jiaoshan, was the Dashi Empire.

"The Great Qin Empire is now divided and wars are constantly between them, which is very similar to the Warring States Period before the pre-Qin period. The end of the Silk Road is the Great Qin Empire. The people of the Great Qin Empire love our Chinese silks very much, and they are all proud of owning Chinese silk. If we ship the Chinese silk, tea and porcelain, we can sell them to sky-high prices. However, the sea route is too far, and it is not necessary for our ships to do so, so there is no need to go so far."

Zhao Liangchun stood up and said, "Emperor, when this troublesome autumn is coming, the court urgently needs money. I dare to go to Dashi and Daqin, and even if I am buried at the bottom of the sea, I will be willing to do so."

Li Jun immediately expressed his objection: "I understand your loyalty. You must know how to do what you can within your ability and never do anything beyond the range of strength. Now our ships do not have such a long range of endurance. Not only is it useless to go, but it will only ruin your life. The wise will not do it."

"I understand." Zhao Liangchun sat down reluctantly.

Li Jun knew that he was loyal and righteous, and had the courage to make a mistake. It was reasonable to make a turn for the time being, and said: "These countries are constantly in war, public security is restless, and there are many pirates. Therefore, Zhao Qing had to train a navy army and follow the caravan to protect them."
