"Young Guardian, please give an order." Yao Lin said.

"I will order it at that time, but I have to make it clear what I had before. Let me talk about the difficulty of our future. If there are fewer soldiers, it cannot be matched with Jiaozhi. If there are too many soldiers, the cost of military expenditure will be a serious problem. The powerful people in various places are unruly. If the training is not done well, it will in turn strengthen their strength and make them even bigger. Not only will they not be matched with Jiaozhi, it will affect the management of Guangnan West Road in the future. But this is not a serious problem. The most serious thing, I would like to ask you, you have participated in the Battle of the Southern Expedition. Is Jiaozhi easy to deal with?"

"It can be destroyed, but the price will be very high." Yan Da replied honestly.

"But what if the little king and the eunuch of Jiaozhi and the soldiers retreated from Shenglong City and retreated to the dense tropical jungle to engage in guerrilla warfare with us?"

"What is guerrilla warfare?"

"Just like Li Jiqian, using the unique terrain of the local area, the enemy advances and we retreat, and we advance, and we do not fight with the main force of our army, and specifically harass our army to maintain public order, escort small groups of military and civilians who transport food, kill the officials appointed by our dynasty, and even destroy ships and roads. What will happen?"

"That would be troublesome," Yan Da said.

"Therefore, the enemy should not be underestimated. Whether this battle can be won is mainly General Yan. If General Yan is unwilling to execute it, I will not blame you. If you can understand, then you must use General Yao to replace your duties. If General Yao is still unwilling, you have to let General Qu replace him. The rest will be coordinated by Miao Lu and Yao Xiong."

Everyone has their own official positions, that is, their own range of activities. Yao Xiong will be in the forefront and be responsible for protecting the six major banished states in the south. He Bin is responsible for the safety of the rear of Yongzhou and the first line of defense. Qu Zhen is responsible for the land route of Qinzhou, including Ruxizhai, but in the future, he will be responsible for training a southern cavalry, but Wang Ju has not said yet. He must first get a large number of Dian horses or local Guang horses so that the cavalry will be put on the agenda.

There is also Yang Congxian. After Wang Ju's suggestion, he was placed in Qinzhou to train a small group of naval troops.

Qinzhou originally had a harbor and a large trading market, and many Jiaozhi people came to trade with the Song Dynasty on boats.

Li Changjie sent spies to see the truth of Qinzhou clearly. Then the navy arrived and took down Qinzhou Port without any obstacles.

Therefore, it is not completely wrong to say that Liu Yi’s approach is not completely wrong.

But why didn't Liu Yi send a scout to find out the truth and reality of Dongliang Port, but Liu Yi has not made any mistakes yet.

It was not that Liu Yi did not send people to touch the realities of Dongliang Harbor, but that the Song Dynasty system was to eliminate accumulation and defense. When the enemy came, we could resist, but taking the initiative to attack the enemy would undoubtedly kill the parents of some scholars and officials, hinder international peace, and the world was in chaos. The Song Dynasty was in poverty and the military was dismissed, and it was about to perish...

How can Liu Yi think of taking the initiative to attack under this situation? If there are comrades like Su Jian who is uncooperative again, the tragedy will happen.

When Jiaozhi retreated, the coastal areas of Qinzhou and Lianzhou were cleaned up by Jiaozhi, not only wealth, but also people, but also plundered them together. As for the prosperous trade in the past, it had long disappeared.

However, some people fled to the rear in time and returned one after another after the war, so a navy army must be established at the port just in case.

Yang Congxian was in Qinzhou Port, so he did not attend the party.

Wang Ju clapped his hands and walked in from the next door.

Yan Da and Yao Lin stood up at the same time: "Kang Dutou, why are you here?"

"Police Sha Dutou, why are you here?"

The two bowed: "Sir, please see General Yan."

"I am joining General Yao."

Kang Huaishen turned out to be Yan Da's subordinate, and Sha Huibao turned out to be Yao Lin's subordinate. However, both of them withdrew from the army due to serious injuries.

Wang Ju introduced: "Kang Huaishen and Sha Huibao. I don't need to introduce it to you. After they withdrew from the army, although the court gave me pensions, the family situation was still not good, so I was asked to re-hire. Although I could not fight on the battlefield myself, I could take charge of command and be responsible for related training."

"Conducting training?" Qu Zhen asked in surprise.

"Qu Zhen, do you think there will be no battle when you are overseas? There are barbaric natives and pirates on the sea."

"I see."

"I will also introduce these two people to everyone. Shao Xuan, Shao Zizhen, Jia Liang and Jia Liangguo. The navigation of many extremely poor people migrated overseas, not as smooth as you imagined, and you will also encounter many troubles. In particular, many people are confused and worried, so they must send someone to give them special education to let them learn to be friendly to each other. Brother Zizhen and Brother Guoliang did a good job. Therefore, during this training, I pulled them back to serve as the political commissar of the Political Department, and then selected a soldier who knew a few words from each battalion as the instructor."

"Political Commissar of the Political Department, instructor?" Hebin was also stunned.

"Brother Zizhen, Brother Liangguo, talk about your mission."

"A few generals, our main task is to provide special education to the instructors of each battalion. After they are educated, they will let them provide special education to the soldiers of each battalion. The education content is as follows: We are all citizens of the Song Dynasty and must be loyal to the Song Dynasty. We must be a good officer and soldier who loves the family, collectively and patriotism. When there is a conflict with the country, we must focus on the country and supplement the collectively, sacrifice the ego and achieve the ego in order to create a peaceful and stable environment for future generations. In ancient times, a group of people moved south and lived in the south. In fact, thousands of years ago, the barbarians were a family, so they returned to their original origins. Now, Guangnan West Road also has a family, regardless of each other, and love each other. Treat friends as warm as spring breeze, and treat enemies as ruthless as autumn breeze..."

The two of them said a total of more than a dozen things.

Several powerful generals were sweating and covered in sweat when they heard this.

However, Yan Da heard it. He didn't know the word brainwashing, but knew that if the education was successful, these Han and barbarian soldiers would no longer become powerful private soldiers after training.

After Wang Ju waited for them to finish speaking, he said, "They are familiar with the situation over there, and they will cooperate with you in the future."

Yan Da already understood a little and asked: "Shaobao, can you order one or two ships to stop and let me take a look at them."

"Okay, General Kang, Brother Zizhen, you will ride a horse and take General Yan to see the servants on the boat."

"Here."

The two took Yan Da down.

Yao Lin asked in confusion: "Young Bao, what are you talking about?"

"Last year, you used troops blindly. After repeated deductions, I found that it was difficult for you to return to your full strength. The possible result was that there were two harms in the north and another harm appeared in the south. My direction was in danger." Wang Ju said. He had to exaggerate and said that in fact, Fuliangjiang's battle also killed Jiaozhi in the battle. Although the small movements continued in the future, the big movements should have disappeared. However, the impact was far-reaching. Before Wang Ju Chuan, it had an impact. They were fatal, and they would not be fatal. However, it was like a rotten and smelly scar that would never be cured on the body, which was always disgusting.

And now there is an impact. A few years ago, the fleet went to Chameng Zhenla to exchange food. Both countries welcomed each other with a smile, but Guo Kui hurriedly led his army to retreat on the Fuliang River. The officials at the ports of the two countries immediately changed their faces, so they did not get any food.

There is food in Guangnan, but last year, 300,000 soldiers and civilians went south and Lingnan's grain storage was also consumed. This year, there will be some surplus grain, which has other uses. Therefore, the grain owed to the three departments cannot be repaid this year.

Don’t say this Wang Ju. Everyone didn’t know what he knew. Instead, under Wang Ju’s instigation, everyone kept thinking about Li Jiqian…

Wang Ju said again: "So I wrote a letter saying that if the army cannot return with full strength, I will manage Guangnan. Your Majesty also agreed. So I came to Guangnan, but I thought carefully and tried not to use a large number of officers and soldiers from the north and a large amount of wealth. So after thinking hard, I came up with a plan of pirates in the Beibu Gulf. If this plan is successful, the cost of military use will be very small and the sacrifice will not be heavy. I can also solve some of the rebellious powerful problems of Guangnan West Road in one fell swoop, and make Jiaozhi completely a history. Maybe I can take advantage of this situation and attack Dali and truly unify the south."

"Dali?" Several generals were so scared that they were stunned.

"This is just a thought, and I can only say that you should act according to the situation at that time. Don't take it seriously. In addition, it will also have great benefits for overseas development." Wang Ju said the truth. Although he has this plan, whether it will be implemented depends on the situation.

"Then why not execute it?" Qu Zhen asked in confusion.

"Wars are divided into just wars and injustice wars. If you want to implement this plan, you must bring these 100,000 troops overseas for practical training, which will improve their combat effectiveness in a short period of time and get some cost of raising soldiers. Moreover, the remaining local natives, under the crushing of the three armies, made arrangements in advance to turn them into pirates, not pirates with hundreds of people and gangs, but pirates with thousands of people and tens of thousands of people…"

"I understand, I understand, Shaobao is worried that General Yan can't accept it. It's okay, Shaobao, let me go." Qu Zhen said.

"Look at General Yan's thoughts," Wang Ju said. Qu Zhen is still relatively experienced now, and it is difficult to lead 100,000 people to fight, including Yao Lin. Therefore, the number one candidate in Wang Ju's mind is still Yan Da.

Yan reached the dock, and Shao Xuan made several gestures. When the three owners saw his gesture, they immediately moored the boat on the dock. Yan Da walked onto the boat and saw that there were many people in the cabin, with dark skin, darker than the people in Guangnan, and they all looked like monkeys. He asked, "Shao Zizhen, which country do they come from?"

"National? General Yan, let me explain it." Shao Xuan said.

Needless to say, the main routes of the Song Dynasty, Japan had to stay in Japan for a long time due to the monsoon. Therefore, many seamen married a wife in the Central Plains and another wife in Japan, so that there was also a family there.

The south is more complicated. The South China Sea is mainly Sanfoqi, which mainly produces pepper. It is the current maritime power. The farthest to the southeast is Japa (West Java), who exchanges their various spices, ivory, pearls, and crystals.

Then to the west is India, Dashi and East African countries.

It usually takes 38 days to go from Guangzhou to Sanfoqi. However, from Guangzhou to Gulin (a country in the southern end of India) mostly set off in mid-winter and waited for the monsoon to turn in Lanli Country. However, including the time of staying in the middle of the journey, it only takes 70 days, but the distance is three times longer.

Shao Xuan was still afraid that Yan Da would not understand, so he drew a sketch on the ground with branches to distinguish the difference between the two.

In fact, there are two reasons. Three Buddhas are relatively close. Anyway, they can only go back and forth once a year, which is not so urgent. Therefore, they often stay in various ports for a period of time. First, it is convenient for supply, and second, it is to see the safe wind direction before sailing, and the stay is relatively long.

Secondly, there is another reason, that is, if you want to sail safely, the ship cannot be too far from the coastline.

I didn't know before. Now Wang Jubiao has made an approximate map and after verification, he gradually realized that the South China Sea is actually equivalent to a circular sea. It is surrounded by various islands on all sides. However, where did the ships that deviate from their course go?

Some people came back safely when they encountered civilized tribes, while others were not so good. All local natives were allowed to massacre them, split the expensive sea boats and burn them as firewood. What was even more excessive was that some cannibal tribes could eat the people on the boat alive.

This is the current situation of the southeastern islands in the South China Sea. Because they are far away from the main channel and have backward civilization, as for the country, they can also be called a country. However, there are so many such countries, the people are not civilized, and the words are not clear, and there is no unified regime to organize the property, so the Song Dynasty's maritime merchants rarely go to the southeast for transactions.

“So it turns out that it’s very hard at sea too?”

"That is, the living at sea is a safe route chart that has been earned after countless sacrifices, until the Shaobao Insurance appears..."

"Tell me," Yan Da became interested.

In the past, the Song Dynasty ships rarely went to the southeast for trading, but it did not mean that the southeast was not produced. Moreover, Wang Ju also deliberately avoided the main route, which was the line west of the Luzon Islands, and the main route area to the west. There were almost no Song Dynasty maritime merchants going to trade east, and the local civilization became increasingly backward.

Only when you fall behind can you immigrate. For example, now sending a large number of people to Sanfoqi, Tanjung, Wu Luo, and Jianbi Kingdom. That is not an immigrant, but a purely seeking death. Some countries are no less powerful than Chameng and Jiaozhi.

And unlike the former Song Dynasty maritime merchants, Wang Ju was in Qingzhou, and Tao Qing and Zhang Quanzhi were in charge of sailing and shipbuilding. At the beginning, there were dozens of ships of all sizes, and the sailors on the ship were actually armed soldiers. Therefore, from that time onwards, some small settlements began to be developed.

However, there is one exception. It is the northern part of Luzon, such as Ma Yiguo. It is also very backward and barbaric. Because it is close to China, it is occasionally sent to ship to exchange their specialties yellow wax, pearls and betel nuts for porcelain and ironware from the Song Dynasty.

There are also some small sea boats in China that occasionally go to trade wherever they are, but the number is small.

In that relatively civilized country, many customs are still very barbaric. For example, if the husband dies, his wife must cut his hair and sleep with his husband's body. He will take a hunger strike for seven days. If he does not die like this, his relatives will advise him to eat, but he cannot remarry. If the village chief dies, it will be even more miserable and he will have to kill dozens of slaves in the village to bury him.

In fact, Ma Yi Country is just a small country, one of thousands of countries in the entire Luzon Islands. However, even this civilized country is so barbaric. How dare the mentors of the Song Dynasty trade in other countries?

However, when Wang Ju started sailing, he was afraid of controversy, so he bypassed the northern part of Luzon.

But in the end I found that I could not get around because the route was too far and the supply was difficult. I couldn’t go to Dashi and raise pigs and chickens like I was going to Dashi, and I could raise pigs and chickens and grow vegetables. If so, could I still transport charcoal and grain back?

Therefore, it is necessary to set up residences and supply points here.

At the same time, when encountering a major storm, there are also ports to avoid storms and escape. If you don’t want the ship, you have to want it. This is what Wang Ju said.

Yan Da was a little bitter, and this really means that he should treat his own people as warm as spring.

However, whether it is the residence, supply point, or the escaped sailors and ship workers, they have been killed by local indigenous people one after another. It cannot even be said to be killed. Some were burned to death with fire, those who died of lingchi, and some were locked in cages torture.

With the prosperity of the Eastern Airlines route and the development of various islands, this area has become the biggest problem on the waterway. Wang Ju had no choice but to launch a fleet and launch a war against these tribes. However, this area is also densely populated and cannot be completely solved.

So just this time, I lifted the nail off by the way.

This is the truth, but according to what he said, after Shao Xuan's statement, it turned out to be a just war.

But Yan Da didn't take it seriously. If this were the case, Wang Ju wouldn't have said solemnly and repeatedly, letting him consider it.

But whether it is a just war or not, Yan Da’s choice is really important at this moment, because all plans are carried out around these 100,000 local soldiers to "train" them. Without this point, Wang Ju would not be able to do anything. (To be continued)
