Chapter 262 The Mongol Tatars' Retreat

The importance of economic development to a country is self-evident. Whether it is military construction to ensure national sovereignty and territorial integrity or a series of policies to improve people's living standards, the implementation of a series of policies is inseparable from the economy.

So economic development is necessary.

At this stage, the focus is still on the war in the north. It is only meaningful to talk about development after the country is stable. Otherwise, the hard-won achievements of development will be easily consumed by the war.

Jiang Chen didn't know if Mo Chou and the others were disappointed with him, or if he really wanted to relax and be free.

Jiang Chen always feels a little guilty, doesn't love require loyalty, doesn't it start from beginning to end, but what he has done, endless desires, and illusory ideals.

As a human being, you can’t do it according to your own ideas. Life is always full of temptations and challenges. This is probably life.

Every woman in this harem wants to get her own favor, but if he gives too much, they will ask for more.

In order to get more favors, they will fight each other, this is what Jiang Chen doesn't want to see.

There is a saying that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

This kind of thing can only be avoided as much as possible, but it cannot be completely prevented.

A month passed unknowingly.

The war in the north is similar to what Jiang Chen expected, now the Mongolian army has been surrounded, and their scope of activities has been gradually reduced.

At this time, Kublai Khan and his advisers were thinking of ways to break out of the encirclement.

Kublai Khan lost his temper even more, because in his impression the Southern Song Dynasty had always been weak, the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty were incompetent, those officials were even more greedy, and those soldiers and generals were as timid as mice.

But the current situation is that the Southern Song Dynasty's fighting spirit is getting stronger and stronger, and the more damning thing is that no matter what decisions they make, the other party seems to always think ahead of them.

After being surrounded unknowingly, the current situation is no longer within his control.

If this continues, 10,000+ soldiers will face a logistical delay, and the army will be destroyed by then.

"The big man can only sink the boat for the current plan."

"What's the meaning!"

Everyone in the tent looked at the military division strangely.

"The Great Khan can only concentrate all his strength to attack Xiangyang. Once Xiangyang is broken, we will be able to open up the situation, as if entering the land of no one."

"What the military adviser said is yes, then our army will march towards Xiangyang."

"Yes."

…………

At this moment, in a tent, Huang Rong discussed the military situation with several elders of the Beggar Clan.

"Boss Huang, why are we besieging and not attacking now?"

"Surrounding and not attacking does not mean doing nothing. Mongolia's logistics has been blocked by us, so the 10,000+ army will definitely not last long."

"Boss Huang, you mean to kill them, and it will be easier for us to attack in an all-round way."

"Do you think the Mongols will sit and wait to die? If you were Kublai Khan, what would you do if you were surrounded on all sides."

"How will it be done?"

Everyone can't figure out what to do. Shouldn't the Mongols be overwhelmed at this time, thinking about how to break through?

"Boss Huang, you are Zhuge from the female middle school. We are stupid and really can't think of an answer."

"Yes, what is Meng Dazi doing behind?"

Huang Rong pointed at the map.

"You mean they will attack Xiangyang!"

"That's right, since they can't break through, they will concentrate their efforts to break through Xiangyang. As long as Xiangyang is breached, there will be no barriers in the south, and the south will be occupied by the Mongolian army."

Hearing Huang Rong's words, everyone became anxious.

"Boss Huang, since you have guessed the intention of the Mongols, then we must report the situation to the emperor and the Xiangyang guard as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, this is the result that the emperor and I have already foreseen. Now our current action is to find a way to interfere with the Mongolian army going to Xiangyang. The Mongolian army is two months away from Xiangyang. As long as we use fatigue methods, then they will arrive. What will happen to Xiangyang, everyone should know."

"I understand, it is constantly consuming the energy and vigor of the Mongolian army."

…………

The other armies also carried out step by step according to Jiang Chen's previous plan.

In the Battle of Xiangyang in Shendiao, after Jiang Chen intervened, this decisive battle was still held in Xiangyang. Whether it was accidental or inevitable, who knows the causal relationship between them.

At this time, Jiang Chen was eating dessert and drinking tea in the imperial garden, listening to the sound of the piano, and a group of concubines chatting and laughing in the distance.

The sound of the piano stopped, and the queen slowly stood up and came to him.

"My lord, have my piano skills improved?"

"It's good that there is some progress, but something is missing."

"what?"

"emotion!"

"emotion?"

"That's right! You only pay attention to the technique, but you don't incorporate the understanding of the score and the feelings you understand, so the sound you play won't really move people."

"Yes, but I'm at a loss."

"why?"

"Your Majesty, I found that I fell in love with you, but I know that you don't have me in your heart, and there is no such emotional fluctuation from your eyes and movements."

"Actually, even if I am the emperor, you are also the woman of the emperor in front of me, but I shamelessly possess you. What is the difference between this and that kind of thing?"

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about it. You are the Emperor, and the whole country belongs to you, including us of course. Etiquette is the moral constraint on ordinary people, and you are not an ordinary person, your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven."

"Really, I feel that your idea is very novel, it seems reasonable, but it is so unreasonable."

"The emperor's concubine is very afraid that you will leave me, or that you don't want us. I know that those women who left the palace are your beloved, and my concubine envies them very much..."

"Some things happen naturally, and feelings must go with the flow and cannot be forced."

"Your Majesty, the concubine is asking too much."

"You are not wrong, you are also a woman, this idea is normal."

At this time, a concubine ran over and said coquettishly: "The emperor heard that you have painted a picture for the queen, can you draw a picture for the concubine as well."

"Of course it's ok, but there are too many concubines in the harem. If I draw it for you, they will have the same request."

"Your Majesty, the concubine will hide it secretly so that no one will know."

"Alright then, get your paintbrush ready."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The concubine happily went to prepare.

"The emperor is always accommodating to us. It seems that as long as it is not a matter of principle, the emperor will always agree."

"What do you think I should do, rejecting you cruelly? Is this what you want to see?"

"Do not want to."

"You are all human beings with flesh and blood, you should not live for someone, you should have your own interests and things."

"What can a concubine do?"

"There are many things that can be done. I want to start a women's newspaper."

"What is the Ladies' Paper?"

"The so-called women's newspaper is to report events and ideas related to women, to safeguard women's legal rights, and to advocate equality!"
