In Li Gande's opinion, Zhang Xiaochun's logic and the way of conducting the Great Zhou Republic are very ridiculous.

If the Song Dynasty regards the Great Zhou as a threat, it should unite all forces to deal with the Great Zhou together. How could the Great Zhou do something to take the initiative because the Great Zhou covets Jiaozhi?

What logic is this?

Because the Great Zhou was going to be a robber, the Great Song Dynasty also wanted to go with it? And they also had to compete with each other to see who robed more?

As for the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was strange. You want to grab Kaifeng Prefecture! Why did you come from all the way to grab Jiaozhi?

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, Jiaozhi can join forces to grab the Great Song Dynasty, and fight far and near to attack! As long as Jiaozhi is Guangdong and Guangxi, other territory can be given to the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Now this matter is going on...

Seeing Li Gande's face turn blue and white, Zhang Xiaochun said softly: "Don't think too much about the prince... You Jiaozhi can't beat the Zhou army. The Liao Kingdom has been broken up by them, so don't think too much about it. Therefore, Jiaozhi is the best for me to enter the Song Dynasty. With the protection of the Song Dynasty, the people of Jiaozhi can live and work in peace and contentment, and the royal family of Li will not lose their glory and wealth.

Now the warships of the Hailu Maritime Bureau of the Song Dynasty are in Guangzhou, and many merchant ships have been gathered. In a few days, I will lead the troops to escort the prince back to Shenglong Mansion."

It's over... Shenglong Mansion is about to be occupied by the Song army!

Li Gande's face turned pale and he had already regretted coming to Zhaoqing Mansion.

He also kept Empress Lan Ying in Shenglong Mansion to supervise the country, with tens of thousands of people, as well as navy, pontoon bridges and fireboats blocking the Red River.

If the enemy attacked along the Red River, how could it resist for a while? Now, it’s fine. He caught the king of Jiaozhi Kingdom and stole himself into Shenglong. Isn’t it that the soldiers are not bloody?

I used to dream of entering Zhaoqing without bloodshed, but now I have let my soldiers take over the foundation without bloodshed.

"Does the imperial court want to travel to the county and county in Jiaozhi?" Li Gande wanted to fight for it again.

Even if you are a puppet, it is better than nothing!

"This is not something that I can decide," Zhang Xiaochun smiled. "It must be decided by the two governments and the emperor... and also negotiate with the Great Zhou Republic."

"What are you negotiating?"

"How to divide it naturally..." Zhang Xiaochun paused, as if he felt that the words were inappropriate, "How to divide the Jiaozhi Kingdom."

Dividing, dividing... Li Gande was almost crying. His Jiaozhi, you, the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Zhou Dynasty discussed it and then divided it? Is there any law of nature in the world?

...

"Ruan Dafu, don't get me wrong. We are not officers and soldiers of the Breaking Song, we are the Republican Army of the Great Zhou. We are not here to invade Da Yue, but the head of our country heard that Breaking Song was intending to invade Da Yue, so he sent us to help Da Yue resist Breaking Song..."

The same person who was trembling slightly in gentle words and was a little older than the magistrate of the Great Yue Kingdom explained that he was Wu Chenglan.

He was the prefect of the planned Great Zhou Annan Prefecture. This time he arrived on the coast of Jiaozhi with Chen Tianli, the admiral of the Expeditionary Fleet and Feng Jie, the commander of the First Marine Brigade.

They did not moor to Anbangkou, but wandered around the sea estuary of Beijiang (a tributary of the Honghe River) near Anbangkou. There are many bifurcations under the Honghe River, among which the main sea estuary is the main stream of Honghe River and Beijiang (also known as Taiping River, Taiping River) are the main sea estuary.

The land between the two rivers (river) is a triangle, which is a very fertile alluvial plain, later called the Red River Delta.

This Red River Delta is the territory that Wu Haoqiu was determined to seize.

He planned to establish an Annan Prefecture in the Red River Delta as the largest stronghold of the Great Zhou in the south.

The reason why I chose the Red River Delta is of course because I valued the rich land and convenient transportation here.

At this time, the Red River Delta was not as big as later generations. It had 15,000 square kilometers in later generations, of which 90% were reclaimed into rice fields, making it the most important granary in Vietnam. Today, the Red River Delta has about 10,000 square kilometers, and 50 or 60% of the land has been developed into rice fields. That is, 5,000 square kilometers, almost 9 million mu of rice fields!

This is a paddy field that is 2 or 3 or 3 a year (three ripening is not worth much, so it will be great if you plant two ripening well)! Moreover, unlike the land in the rainy areas in the south, the Honghe and Taiping Army rushed down a lot of sediment and minerals from the upstream every year. While expanding the area of ​​the Honghe Delta, it also supplements nutrients for the land.

Therefore, the rice yield per mu in the Red River Delta is very high, and there are 9 million mu of rice to be harvested every year.

Forty to 50 million stones of rice are enough to feed the population of the entire Great Zhou Republic!

Of course, the Great Zhou Republic now does not lack food at all. Half of the 60 million acres of black soil planting in Liaodong is enough to supply less than 10 million people in the country. Therefore, the land in Yan land is basically used to grow cotton and develop animal husbandry.

The grain is transported directly from Liaodong!

However, the lack of food in the Great Zhou Republic does not mean that the overseas colonial cause of the Great Zhou does not require food.

Although Southeast Asia has a large territory and there are several famous grain-producing areas in later generations, at present, the Jiaozhi Kingdom is the one that can truly supply a large amount of grain and is more suitable for Han people to live in.

Only with food can we raise the people and soldiers, and we can expand our power in large quantities!

So Wu Haogu had planned to invade early in the morning, and should have helped the people of Jiaozhi to oppose the invaders of the Song Dynasty.

What the Song Dynasty wanted was the entire Jiaozhi, and the Great Zhou Republic was much more kind, just like a small piece of land in the Red River Delta.

However, the officials and the rural soldiers in Jiaozhi still did not understand the friendship between the people of Dazhou. After the Dazhou fleet entered the Ninghai River, a tributary of the Taiping River, and began to build a city on the south bank of the Ninghai River, they brazenly launched an attack!

After the kind advice failed, Feng Jie, the commander of the Marine Brigade of the Knights Academy, led his army to break through the city of Ninghai Prefecture in Jiaozhi. He also "invited" Ruan Zhongxian, the governor of Ninghai Prefecture in Jiaozhi, to the Annan Prefecture city built with sandbags and wooden fences.

Of course, Ruan Zhongxian was a loyal minister of Jiaozhi Kingdom. On the way to Annan Prefecture City, he cried, made a fuss, and went on a hunger strike, and looked like he wanted to die for the Li Dynasty. He both annoyed Wu Chenglan and Feng Jie a little annoyed. He was about to kill the old man, but a clutch belonging to the Nanyang Hua Family (Hua Manshan Family) sent a shocking news.

The 30,000 army led by Emperor Li Qiande of the Great Yue Dynasty was attacked by 4,000 Song troops in Huanggang Town near Zhaoqing Prefecture. After a fierce night of battle, the 30,000 army of the Jiaozhi people was almost destroyed, and Li Qiande himself was captured...

Are you mistaken? The army that Zhuo Song is so awesome now? 4,000 people can fight the battle to destroy the country?

And this terrible bad news saved the life of Ruan Zhongxian, the loyal minister of Dayue.

Because the Great Yue Kingdom will soon be gone! He, a loyal minister, can be used by the Great Zhou.

"Nonsense, the Song Dynasty is a benevolent country, how could it destroy our Great Yue Kingdom? Moreover, the Song Dynasty's army is weak and it cannot destroy our Great Yue Kingdom. When our Great Yue Emperor arrives in Guangzhou, we will lead our troops back to help. At that time..."

"Wait, wait..." Wu Chenglan waved his hand and interrupted Ruan Zhongxian, "This... your emperor is indeed in Guangzhou now."

"Really? Hahaha..."

"Don't laugh, don't laugh... Your emperor was captured and went to Guangzhou. His 30,000 troops met 4,000 iron-armored soldiers transferred from Kaifeng Prefecture near Zhaoqing Prefecture, and the entire army was wiped out in one night attack!"

Ruan Zhongxian jumped up immediately, "Impossible, Impossible, how could my 30,000 Great Yue Tianshang soldiers not be able to defeat the 4,000 weak Song people! You are talking nonsense!"

"Oh, how can you say that the Song Dynasty is weak?" Wu Chenglan shook his head repeatedly and said with his fingers, "Look, Hehuang Tubo was destroyed, Xixia surrendered, Kala Uighurs were destroyed. The Three Buddhas surrendered, Java was destroyed, and the Great Liao was almost broken up..."

"What? The Great Liao Kingdom was defeated?" Ruan Zhongxian stared at the boss with his eyes. This was the first time he heard such terrible news.

"I lost, and I've broken into several more!"

"Are you defeated by the Song Dynasty?" Old Man Ruan couldn't even say anything.

"It was mainly defeated by us!" Wu Chenglan smiled, "But before we defeated the Great Liao, we were the vassal states of the Song Dynasty, so we were also defeated by the Great Song Dynasty.

But the new army of the Song Dynasty is definitely not weak! Otherwise, why would I, the Great Zhou, not attack the Song Dynasty, but instead travel thousands of miles away... Oh, are you here to help you Jiaozhi?"

Seeing that Old Man Ruan didn't say anything, Wu Chenglan smiled, "Don't believe it, the Song army will escort your emperor into Shenglong Mansion in a few days! The emperor asked someone to take it. Can Shenglong Mansion still resist? Once the Song army entered Shenglong, will Jiaozhi Kingdom still exist?"

Old Man Ruan gritted his teeth and said, "Even if the emperor is in trouble, our dynasty still has Chongxian Hou who can take on the great responsibility."

The Chongxian Hou was Li Chongde. He was also very capable, and he fought all the way to the city of Guizhou. However, he could not conquer Guizhou. Now Li Qiande's entire army was wiped out, and the Song army was about to enter Shenglong from the sea. What other tricks could Li Chongde have? It would be lucky to be able to bring thousands of people back.

After hearing what Old Man Ruan said, Wu Chenglan laughed: "Marquis Chongxian can come to Ninghai Mansion to avoid disaster! Save his life first, then summon old subordinates, and then Xu Tu can recover!"

Wu Chenglan really took a wonderful step, and took advantage of the opportunity of the collapse of the Great Yue Dynasty to get Li Chongde, the second-in-commander of the Li Dynasty.

With Li Chongde's banner, the Jiaozhi tyrants in the Honghe Delta will not resist the Great Zhou. If they do not resist, the Great Zhou will have the opportunity to integrate, so as to firmly control the Red River Delta.

"Then..." Old Man Ruan was skeptical, "Then do you have a way to bring Chongde Hou here?"

Wu Chenglan smiled and said, "We will send troops to pick you up! As long as you are always there, say hello to the Jiaozhi government along the way and explain the situation, we can rescue Chongxian Hou."

"Then the city you built in Ninghai Mansion..."

Wu Chenglan said: "We will discuss this matter with Chongxian Hou."

When Li Chongde came to the hands of the Zhou army, he naturally had to let him do it. Ninghai Mansion and the territory surrounding the Red River Delta are not the things in the Great Zhou Dynasty?
