"Zi'an, how to cure it?" Tao Bi asked.↖,

The court transferred Wang Ju to Guangnan, and Tao Bi was very happy. Wang Ju was better than Guo Kui, and at least he would not use troops inexplicably like Guo Kui.

In addition, the emperor also issued an edict to grant Wang Ju the right to act with the advantage of his actions, and also issued an edict to the officials of various prefectures and departments that must obey Wang Ju's transfer, which shows that this matter is not over, so there is still hope for "revenge and revenge".

Just like Wang Ju, what would he think if he saw the people of Qingzhou encounter this?

However, Tao Bi was still very rational. The emperor had not finished this matter and wanted to destroy Jiaozhi. However, if Wang Ju learned the practice of Jiaozhi, even if he occupied Jiaozhi, he would not be able to manage it in the future. This is not like Jiaozhi, where people simply made a ruthless profit and then withdrew their troops.

"Mr. Tao, what if I resolve all the contradictions between the two?"

"Impossible..."

"If everything is understood according to the possibility and the impossible, I will not come to Guangnan. Do you think it can really destroy Jiaozhi? Even if I lead my army to capture Shenglong Mansion, what if that little king and his ministers retreat into the vast rain forest?"

The big bosses in the court talked several times after Wang Ju, and got a brief understanding of the south, but they were still very vague.

But Tao Bi knew the result.

Wang Ju was not aimless. In the next few hundred years, Jiaozhi did this and finally forced the iron army of the Yuan and Ming dynasties to retreat.

Once you fall into this situation, it has nothing to do with national strength. Even Afghanistan can still trap Emperor Su and the United States in a quagmire war, and cannot advance or retreat.

Fortunately, the Jiaozhi Kingdom has not been established for too long, and there is no support from other major powers.

However, as long as Jiaozhi does this, the Song Dynasty will have a headache.

It’s not that Tao Bi doesn’t understand military affairs. Because he understands it. After thinking about it, he is confused.

After a long time, he said: "Zi'an, if the means are too cruel, I'm afraid there will be criticism in the court."

"So I need Mr. Tao to cooperate."

"Zi'an can avenge more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians. Even if I give up this official uniform, I will cooperate with Zi'an. But I wonder what Zi'an will do?"

"Mr. Tao, I will not come forward directly. Even the imperial court did not have to come forward directly before. Instead, there may be an external force. Continuously invading Jiaozhi, their actions are even more violent."

"That's how I support it."

However, Tao Bi also had a misunderstanding. The north of Jiaozhi was the Song Dynasty, the northwest was Dali, the southwest was Zhenla, and the south was Chameng. However, Jiaozhi is slightly different from the Jiaozhi County of the Tang Dynasty. Its territory extended to the west and south, which means that many new territory were opened up. Although it was negligible in the Song Dynasty, it was considered a lot for Jiaozhi. This means that in its more than 100 years of founding of the country (Wu Dynasty, Ding Dynasty, and Li Dynasty), it has been expanding. However, this expansion process will inevitably lead to enemies on all sides, so it is mostly related to Chameng, Dali and Zhenla.

If Wang Ju can make good use of the external relationship like Jiaozhi and vigorously support a certain country, it seems that he can do what Wang Ju said.

If that is the case, what's the point? Even if these countries are killed in a state of upside down, their country is destroyed and their families are destroyed, it is the best.

"Mr. Tao, but I need your help."

"Zi'an, just give me orders."

"I want to defeat the Jiaozhi Trading, but it is difficult to destroy Jiaozhi, so I promised the court three to four years, from three years to four years, from four years to four years, and actually planned to solve it in two to three years. However, so many military and civilians died this year, regardless of Guangnan or Jinghu, they must focus on appeasement. So the first step is to prevent, and they cannot listen to Jiaozhi's words. They do not keep their promises. This year, the army is approaching and can surrender to our dynasty for peace. Once the army retreats, they may invade again."

"It's really possible."

"So two lines of defense must be built. The first line of defense starts from Ruxi Village southwest of Qinzhou, and goes to Yongping Village, Yanzhou, Shun'anzhou, Guihuazhou, Andezhou, to build checkpoints in dangerous places, or to renovate the original checkpoints."

This is the original Song Dynasty controlled area, which is basically the Sino-Vietnam border in later generations, but it is slightly more southerly than in later generations.

The reason for this border is because of the terrain. Except for a small section of the coastal area, the remaining borders are all mountainous areas, which are convenient for guarding. Now Jiaozhi has returned the controversial five states, and Su Maozhou is in the coastal area, such as the south of Xizhai.

Menzhou is located south of Luzhou, Guangyuanzhou is located in the south of Guihua Prefecture, but north of Zuojiang, Liangzhou is the Langshan area, opposite the Zuojiang River, south of Qiyuan Prefecture, and Silang Prefecture is located in the west of Guangyuan Prefecture.

In fact, the six southern states are not small in size. For example, Guangyuan Prefecture has tens of thousands of square kilometers. Although most of them are mountainous areas, it occupies a condescending momentum in military terms.

Therefore, Wang Ju said again: "Then set up the important points in front of the Five Prefectures and Qiyuan Prefectures. Although these states are difficult to defend, with them, the army can enter Jiaozhi at any time and cannot be lost."

In fact, Wang Ju meant that they became buffer zones, but it was really not easy to build a strict line of defense there, and Tao Bi didn't think much about it.

"Then recruit more local soldiers." Wang Ju said that, and gave Tao Bi a few sheets of paper.

This is a very targeted recruitment.

First, the local soldiers are the main ones, and the barbarians are the main ones, but the barbarians in the southern states are mainly the six states, especially the six states in the southern states. Because Wang Ju wrote on paper that in order to recruit more local soldiers from these six states, the number of people can be rewarded for the heads of each cave. The more you recruit, the more gifts you will give to the heads of each cave.

As for other regions, it is the amount of recruitment.

The second is to buy Dian horses in a lot of money. Where can I buy horses from Dali? Although this horse is relatively short and has poor power, it may adapt to the local weather. On the other hand, the North Horse brought by the ban on cavalry also died more than one-third of the deaths in this southern expedition. Moreover, these Dian horses are hard-working, so they trained a "Southern Cavalry" from Guangnan.

The third is the time limit. This time, it is the real recruitment of soldiers. The time is only four years, only four years. After four years, most of the soldiers will be allowed to go home. Anyway, Wang Ju didn't say it in it. Of course, Wang Ju promised that within four years, he would destroy Jiaozhi. After the Jiaozhi, if there were too many local soldiers, there would be no need for so many local soldiers. Therefore, there was a four-year period.

Fourth, because of the tight time, we must join forces with the local recruits to guard against the front two lines of defense. The remaining recruits were brought to the rear for assembly training, but Wang Ju did not mention where to train. In fact, there is another intention here, that is, the southern banished states were not loyal to the Song Dynasty. These recruits were brought to the rear for training, which was a kind of hostage to some extent.

The conditions are a bit harsh, and there are not no smart people among the barbarians.

Therefore, Wang Ju was treated very generously. After each Ding Zhuang joined the recruitment, the government gave him goods equivalent to 30 cents a year, which was for the expenses of himself and his family. The equipment, armor, food and accommodation he was trained to fight were provided by the government and did not have to bear it. If he had military achievements, he would also be rewarded. If he was sacrificed or disabled, each person would be given a pension of fifty to one hundred cents according to his merits.

But considering the situation on Guangnan West Road, it is not about giving money, but about giving things.

In fact, since the Northern Song Dynasty, Guangnan West Road, such as Lingqu, has been gradually developed. After two expansions, it can now navigate more than 1,000 hu of ships. Although only a few dozen tons, it is equivalent to the load of more than 200 vehicles. For Guangnan, which has lagged behind, it undoubtedly saves transportation costs. Some capable officials also built some water conservancy and dams in the prefectures and counties, as well as the water dam proposed by Wang Ju, and then taught the people to plant textiles. Some literati and officials taught the local people to read, read, and establish education.

Therefore, half of the Li people in Hainan Island can speak Chinese. Sometimes they wear Hanfu to trade in the market, and it is difficult for people to distinguish them. It was not until the evening, according to their customs, they whispered the horns and gathered to return. Everyone knew that a large group of Li people came to the market just now.

This is a good phenomenon. Is it not good for a family? Don’t talk about national independence. The higher the independence of each ethnic group, the more chaotic the country it is.

However, Guangnan West Road was mainly dominated by barbarians. Although the Five Dynasties Rebellion led to a group of Han people coming to Lingnan. In addition, the Song Dynasty gradually paid attention to it, led to the rapid development of agriculture, handicrafts, transportation and commerce. However, in general, it was one of the most backward areas of the Song Dynasty.

Even in the early Song Dynasty, there were many ugly customs, such as killing people and offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods, a living person, a child, or a girl was tied up and killed. However, under the guidance and prohibition of officials in the Song Dynasty, this phenomenon became less and less.

There is also an ugly situation, that is, there are many tribal barbarians in Yongzhou, who are lazy and idle all day long, but let women work. This is very speechless to Wang Ju.

In this case, they may not have a comprehensive understanding when they are given money.

So Wang Ju secretly sent someone to investigate the specialties and what is lacking in various places, not money, but what is lacking in various places, but what is lacking in various places.

Tao Bi was shocked when he saw the list behind.

However, he was happy and knew himself and his enemy to win every battle. The more Wang Ju attached importance to intelligence, the greater his grasp of future victory, rather than being like Guo Kui, who was fighting in a confused manner.

"Zi'an, how many soldiers are you planning to recruit?"

"The more you have, the better. It is best not tolerate 100,000 local soldiers, so that you can be sure to slapped Jiaozhi."

"One hundred thousand local soldiers? That requires a lot of money." Tao Bi was startled and said.

During the Jiaozhi invasion, the three prefectures of Qinlian and Yong were severely affected. However, Yongzhou was too large in area, but the tribes on the Jiaozhi attack were injured, and the rest of the place was lucky enough to escape.

Moreover, Wang Ju recruited not only Jiaozhi, but also other state troops.

Although Guangnan West Road is very backward, there are still many young people, but most of them are not on the household registration.

Moreover, Wang Jucha’s salary is very high. This is Guangnan West Road, not a capital city with high price indexes.

Wang Ju came down this time and seemed to have no power as much as Guo Kui, and he could not touch the affairs of Jinghu Road. However, in Guangdong and Guangxi, his actual power was higher than Guo Kui's. Not only did he allow him to act in a cheap way, but he also had an additional position as a strategic commander. At the same time, the court issued an edict to let officials from all states and departments obey Wang Ju's orders.

But with the economy of Guangdong and Guangxi, it is difficult to support this huge recruitment plan.

"Mr. Tao, don't be fooled by money. Since I said that, I will be sure to raise this money. Besides, it is employed by goods. If the transportation is done properly, it can actually save one-third of the expenditure. The main task now is how to recruit so many local soldiers in the shortest time, not only to raise, but also to train to form combat power."

It’s not okay to have money. Besides, some Dongren are unruly. They don’t refer to the command of the court at all. It is actually very difficult to recruit so many local soldiers in a short period of time.

Tao Bi pondered.

Wang Ju asked again: "Have the people captured by Jiaozhi returned it?"

"No, only Huang Jinman and others surrendered to our court and returned the thousands of people who were distributed to them to our court. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of people are still trapped in the enemy territory."

Hundreds of thousands may not be true, but there are definitely hundreds of thousands of people.

"Didn't you agree to surrender and return it?"

"That's the promise that can count on Jiaozhi."

Wang Ju's eyes lit up. Things have two sides, but this has become a good excuse for him.

But what should these people do?

As long as you plan to implement it, the entire Jiaozhi will be a super slaughterhouse, and these people may be the first to bear the brunt.

Tao Bi said again: "And after our dynasty withdrew, the eunuch Li Changjie, the eunuch of Jiaozhi, wrote a poem in a rampant way. The mountains and rivers of the south were settled in the book of heaven. How to invade the enemy? You can see the defeat."

After saying that, Tao Bi was so angry that he shivered.

"Oh." Wang Judao seemed a little familiar.

He thought for a while and said, "I'll write the memorial."

He hid on the Tao Bi desk and wrote this memorial, talking about the people's affairs and the poem. Emperor, this is what Jiaozhi thinks now. Don't hide your ears and deceive yourself.

Another thing is about armor.

Under Wang Ju's push, 70% of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty have now been replaced with new armor, and half of them have been replaced with new armor. However, they are fish scale armor. Of course, in terms of defense, fish scale armor is very advanced, but it is as heavy as plate armor. Even though Wang Ju used new steel and made repeated improvements, the weight still reached 30 kilograms. The weight is better, at least much lighter than the original Song Dynasty armor. The main reason is that it has poor breathability.

Therefore, Wang Ju asked the court to ask the military supervisor to start construction with all his might and create a batch of chain mails. This armor is said to have been passed from the Western Regions to the Central Plains. Although it is light in weight, only about twenty kilograms, because the production of qualified chain mails is also complicated and cumbersome, the cost of the armor is not the cost of steel, but mainly the production cost, which means that the cost is still very high, but its defensiveness is relatively poor, so it gradually eliminated in the Song Dynasty.

But now Wang Ju asked the military weapon supervisor to bring it to the stage again, and what he wanted was this breathability, and the south was too hot.

However, in the southern countries, including Jiaozhi, bows and arrows are not very sharp, so the defensive requirements for armor can be appropriately reduced.

In fact, Wang Ju said it as early as the seventh year of Xining, and now the overseas stalls are almost all chain mail, but Wang Ju didn't mention it.

However, all the big men in the court thought that Jiaozhi was a small country and wiped out it with a wave of hands. However, after making these chain mails, a pair of armor costs dozens of stagnant costs. It was not suitable for going to the northern battlefield and was purely a waste, so they did not adopt it.

I don’t know if the court listened this time, and if it didn’t, Wang Ju had to do it alone again.

"Chainmail?"
