Chapter 658 Naval Battle (2)(1/2)

The two fleets quickly wrapped up together, but there were so many ships that the natives on the ships behind did not notice it.

A eight-oar boat rushed up quickly and leaned against the main ship. Lu Herang jumped from the eight-oar boat to the main ship.

Wang Juying came over and said, "Brother Dongliang, thank you for your hard work in the past few years."

He also bowed to the soldiers on the Baluboat and said, "Thank you all for your hard work."

"I dare not, I guarantee you." Everyone answered one after another.

"Please come in," Wang Ju invited Lu Herang into the cabin again. Yang Congxian consciously avoided the +++m side. Last year, the emperor sent an envoy to the middle school. I believe the superiors knew what Wang Ju did below, but it seemed that the court also agreed.

After all, Jiaozhi is too cruel. He wants the horse to be good and wants the horse not to eat grass. He has to use poison to fight against the evil and defeat the evil. Besides, what if there is another battle with Jiaozhi, what if there is another heavy loss?

But there is always controversy in this matter, and it is better to avoid it yourself. Then, if others pursue it in the future, I can say that I don’t know.

Wang Jurang Lu Herang sat down and looked at him: "After several years of going there, people lost a lot of weight. It seems that Brother Dongliang has worked a lot."

"It's okay."

"What's going on over there?"

"General Yan is reluctant to take action. There are still many people on the island who have killed hundreds of immigrants. Finally, I took my men up and cleared them up to resolve the crisis."

"But remember, if General Wuyan brought 80,000 soldiers to expel, how many people would have to die if so many people on the island wanted to completely expel them? Each person's locations and ideas were different. I won't talk about this anymore, and there will be few such opportunities in the future..."

"There are opportunities. It will take more than ten years."

The Chinese have a strong idea of ​​inheriting the family line. There are three kinds of unfilial things. No descendants are the greatest, so once you have sufficient land and food, you will try your best to have a child. Of course, this situation can also be changed, just like in the previous life, after years of publicity and education, and the cost of raising children is too high, even if you have a second child, not many people are willing to have a second child.

This is also a kind of brainwashing, and brainwashing is everywhere... For example, the current supreme, Taoist tranquility and inaction, Buddhism's karma in the next life, such as the Qing Dynasty in the previous life, especially the American imperial people's cooking, which made a group of people value dogs more than people. Fortunately, the American imperial emperors ate chickens, cows, sheep, pigs, and fish, otherwise there would be a party that loves chickens, cows, cows, sheep, chickens, fish, pigs, and horses... How do you live this day? Compared to this, the stick monkeys are more resistant to Japan, so I ate dogs, what! I slay the dolphins, what!

Aren’t cattle more contributions to humanity? Aren’t dolphins more adorable? Aren’t horses more loyal?

Besides, cattle and horses are not as good as rabies, the second largest killer in humans...

This is the function of brainwashing. Everyone went to Japan to buy rice and toilets produced in China. As a result, their own company had to go bankrupt and had to produce low-value-added products forever, exchange the environment for profit, speculate on houses, and farmers pour milk...

Of course, Wang Ju is also brainwashing now, promoting the Fan Han family in Qingzhou, encouraging the Fan Han family to join forces, and accelerating the integration. This is especially true on Guangnan West Road, and also establishing education to teach these barbarian children to speak Song Dynasty dialects and recognize Song Dynasty characters. When there is not much difference in language, culture, and living habits, what else is there to distinguish between Han and Barbarians?

So Wang Ju said that a country that can brainwash is a good country.

This kind of brainwashing has also been brought to the other side. Wang Ju sent people to publicly and desperately publicize that having more children is good, being unfilial, and having no descendants is the greatest, etc., encouraging everyone to raise more children. In order to allow many women to migrate, there are also a series of preferential policies.

This has led to the people on the other side desperately "creating their children".

Now the ratio of adults and children on the other side has reached an astonishing two to one, and this ratio continues to soar.

After more than ten years, if these children grow up one by one, the proportion of young and strong will reach an astonishing 80% of them. Then, if 70,000 young and 80,000 young and strong will be soldiers, there will be no pressure on the other side.

However, Wang Ju kept silent.

Lu Herang knew Wang Ju's thoughts. In a few decades, God knows what the situation is going on on the other side? These second generations grew up, but they are not their parents. Ninety-five percent of them are extremely poor people. They have a grateful heart, and the court will intervene one after another.

He said: "Shaobao, please forgive me for saying that there are too many overseas people and they are spread too wide. Moreover, I have to expel the people almost the dozen medium and large islands south of Luzon. However, there are still people who escape from the past. Migration is the best now, but it is difficult to delay the population and reproduce again after a long time. At that time, the laying will be even wider and a charter must be formulated."

In fact, Wang Ju's energy has been restrained now, and the following is a little confused.

Wang Jue said: "In this way, you are responsible for sending the people ashore and continuing to hand over to Wei Sheng and Zhu Tingguang to lead the leader. You will come back with the boat. I will write another letter to let the rest of them ride to Guizhou one after another, and first formulate an approximate charter, and then divide overseas into four routes, Luzon Road, Xinba Road, East Ocean Road, and West Ocean Road. The country is divided into two areas. One is responsible for the trade affairs of Hangzhou and Mizhou Maritime Bureau, and the other is responsible for the trade affairs of Quanzhou and Guangzhou Maritime Bureau."

Formulating the articles of association, then dividing their respective areas, and appointing their respective managers, is actually equivalent to gradually entering formal management.

But how to manage it formally?

Wang Ju rubbed his head.

Lu Herang was also thinking that in fact, only four routes were divided, and the area of ​​each route was still too large.

However, the population is still too small, so we can't have only a hundred thousand people along the way.

So Lu Herang said: "There are still fewer people, so it is better to add another two million people."

But this is unlikely. Wang Ju immediately organized the people to migrate on a large scale again, and fewer and fewer people could migrate overseas in the future. Unless it is in the north, the people in the north are the core of the country. Without a major disaster, Wang Ju dared not migrate casually.

However, there is a good news that after hearing the reply from Eunuch Huang, Zhao Xu secretly sent people from the Imperial City Division to the Southeast and made a secret visit. In his opinion, Wang Ju moved at least one million people away, and the Kapok Division also moved more than one million people to Guangdong and Guangxi. Then there should be fewer poor households. However, the results of the investigation made him very disappointed. There are still a large number of poor people and hidden households in various prefectures. There are also Quanzhou. It can only be said that Quanzhou has been governed by Wang Ju, as well as Ge Shaohua, Xiao Gui, Cao Sui, and other regions. Moreover, the various taxes in this state, especially commercial taxes, have doubled compared to seven years ago, and the commercial tax has tripled.

This result made Zhao Xu a little confused. Why are there so many poor people?

Although this secret investigation was not for migration overseas, but for migration to Jiaozhi, this is also good news, at least proving that what Wang Ju said is correct.

Unfortunately, Wang Ju didn't know this inside story, otherwise he would have written a few more memorials to explain it, so that Zhao Xu's policies could be relaxed.

Now neither Lu nor Wang wanted to migrate more people, so Lu Herang changed the topic and asked: "How did Shaobao expect the enemy to launch a naval battle?"

"Well... it's a long story. Last year, Wei Sheng was about to break through the Tengzhou in Jiaozhi and then take a detour from Dali. But before he arrived in Tengzhou, he was trapped by Jiaozhi using the terrain and sent a large number of Kunlun slaves to shout. He used food to tempt it, causing the remaining tens of thousands of people to have a dispute. Wei Sheng saw that the situation was not good and took the lead in breaking through the Great Wall. After he came back, he judged that someone might be betrayed, or that the people of Jiaozhi could have a way to communicate with these Kunlun slaves."

"Can anyone betray it?"

"Yes, there are six people in total."

"shameful."

"We can't blame them, Jiaozhi is cruel by nature, and not many people can withstand torture."

"How did you do it later?"

"Later, I discussed with General Tao Gong and others, and then made some inferences. Last year, our biggest weakness was that the people came from various islands, mostly ignorant and uncivilized people, and even the language was different. Even you can't communicate directly with everyone in language. Therefore, it is difficult for this industry to truly lead and command consistently, and most of the time it is a mess. In order to achieve the goal with the minimum cost and sacrifice, I sent not many real Song Dynasty soldiers last year. I just sent some because of the convenience of command, otherwise the number of them was

There are still fewer. Therefore, the number of elite soldiers is small. Even if these indigenous people are provided with a large number of weapons, it will prevent the future. Most of the weapons are backward weapons. After getting ashore, they do not provide food, so they must move and plunder every day. Although this can cause crazy sweeps of hunger, as long as they are trapped in a certain place, people will panic and even eat each other. In addition, there are not many people who are water-related, and 99% of the people have never taken a sea boat, or they only move for a short distance on the sea boat, and they are not adapted to the sea boat, and many people are seasick."

“These are indeed weaknesses.”

"Well, so it was inferred that the enemy would have two ways to deal with it. One was to siege and use the Kunlun slaves and food they captured to seduce this group of people this year. But this is very risky. If they succeeded last year, it was a defeated army, and tens of thousands of people were unwilling to fight again. This year, the people would not have any other ideas when they first came ashore. Moreover, there were too many people. If they were not successful, as long as they were destroyed, they would cause powerful damage to Jiaozhi. Besides, I still had a hundred thousand troops in my hands, eyeing them covetously. But what I was most worried about was that Jiaozhi did this. They had a high risk and our risk was also great."

"Yes," Lu He asked.

These are people. Although they are not high IQ and ignorant, they are not livestock. If they have the ability to lure these people, Ding Zhuang can be woven into soldiers, and the remaining women and children can be left behind as slaves to produce textiles.

If these people don’t do it well, they will become the help of Jiaozhi people.

"Jiazhi dare not gamble, nor do we dare to gamble. Therefore, there is a second way. Jiaozhi is mostly near the seaside, with dense river nets, and many fishermen. If they are organized, they will build a large number of warships and fight us near the sea. If it is like last year, these Kunlun slaves on the ship cannot play a role, and there are only more than 2,000 sailors who can fight. At that time, it will be a one-sided massacre, and even snatch or destroy all our warships. Without these ships, I will be helpless. However, I have agreed with His Majesty for a four-year period. Once four years arrive, I can only transfer other places obediently and even demote them. But this situation seems dangerous, but it can be resolved."

Lu Herang nodded. Not to mention that Yang Congxian had trained a large number of naval troops on overseas islands in Guangzhou, he even brought back all the remaining 3,000 subordinates.

"Then I asked Wei Sheng to select two smart and powerful people from his subordinates who knew a few words, one was Lu Cheng and the other was Cai Sanfang. Let them sneak back. At that time, there were some broken people in Jiaozhi who were wandering around. I asked them to find these people and continue to roam with these people. Jiaozhi must send troops to exterminate them, and then surrender. But don't say much, just tell us about these weaknesses of last year one by one, although there may be soldiers betrayal, but only Wei Sheng and Zhu Tingguang who knew the detailed plan at that time, and the remaining soldiers did not know. Then, if they combine with the information obtained by Jiaozhi, the people of Jiaozhi will believe it. Under such induced, Jiaozhi will inevitably launch this naval battle."

“This is a good idea.”

"Let's take advantage of the situation, and in case of prevention, I sent a scout to Shenglong Mansion to inquire. These scouts were still resting in a temple outside Shenglong Mansion. Therefore, after I asked them to fake a fight among them, they would write down the information they obtained and find a way to send it to the small statue of this temple. But after putting it down, they left immediately to avoid the Jiaozhi people being noticed. After all, they were in the enemy territory. At the end of the first month, I sent a scout to sneak into the temple and learned the news of the betrayal of the six people. At the end of March, I got the news that the Jiaozhi people secretly repaired the warship. Then it was confirmed."

"These two have made contributions."

"Well, I think these two people are on the way back." Wang Ju said, but he didn't know that in order to succeed, the two made changes to the plan privately, so Cai Sanfang died heroically.

"If you suffer more this year, you can rest next year." Wang Ju said again.

If a plan is implemented for too long, there will be many variables and people will be very tired.

Just like money and silk, Wang Ju imagined that Jiaozhi had accumulated a lot of wealth over the years. As long as he broke through Jiaozhi, he would not have to worry about the economy immediately. Therefore, in the name of maritime merchants, he borrowed five million ounces of silk from the court and promised to repay it in two years.

However, according to the news sent by the two, it was said that in order to deal with this year's battle, Shenglong Mansion pawned property, including the royal family, and the people in the city were also in poverty.

Then this wealth cannot be counted on.

Wang Ju had no choice but to write a letter to Liu Shaoxian, asking him to request the court in the name of a maritime merchant, and pay the interest first, and the principal will be repaid with the interest next year, so as to get more money and allow himself to implement the next plan.

But in the future, there is no need for money. There is also Xixia, at least Xixia was destroyed, so that the Song Dynasty could liberate its troops from the northwest and shift its focus to the north.

Then no matter whether the Jurchens will rise or not, the Northern Song Dynasty will not perish.

Although the Song Dynasty system was lame, from the perspective of internal governance, it was indeed the most successful dynasty in history. At least in the Song Dynasty, there would be no real literary inquisition... Although later generations despise the Song Dynasty, the longer the Song Dynasty existed, it would have a positive effect on the development of the entire civilization.

Besides, there are banks that also require a large amount of principal.

Could it be that the court does not pay money? Of course, it will, but we cannot rely on the court all, which will have too many constraints.

Suddenly, the sound of slapping the hatch door came from outside.

"Please come in," Wang Ju said.

Yang Congxian came in from outside and said, "Shaobao, the enemy is here."

"Oh," Wang Ju walked outside and looked into the distance with a telescope. Today, the waves were calm and the sea was blue. At the end of his sight, Wang Ju saw a large number of black dots rising from the blue sea in the telescope. It seemed that the enemy sent a lot of ships.

"Prepare for the fight."

"Here."

"General Yang, come and command."

"Your Majesty, you should come and command."

"I have special skills, and naval battles are not my main force. The reason why I came is to urge everyone's morale. Therefore, you are the one who comes to command and ask General Yang to be humiliated by Donglianggang."

"Here," Yang Congxian said excitedly with his chest raised.

In the naval battle, Wang Ju only provided some advanced ideas, but lacked practice. This technique is more important to have specialties. For example, last year, it was led by Wei Sheng and Zhu Tingguang, mainly because these two people had prestige among the natives, and many indigenous people knew them. But the two also lacked real military capabilities, otherwise the destructive power would be greater. Therefore, this year, Wang Ju's naval battle was handed over to Yang Congxian and the land battle was handed over to Miao Lu and Yao Xiong, but they were hidden in the dark, and their names were headed by Wei Sheng and Zhu Tingguang.

Yang Congxian immediately ordered a sailor on the boat to blow a thick horn.

As the loud horn sounded, more than 200 warships broke out from the fleet and drove forward quickly.

The ships behind were all ships carrying indigenous people, mostly cargo ships. In order to load as many people as possible and save the number of ships, the ships were stuffed very much this time. A huge ship could be stuffed with more than 4,000 people, and it really became canned sardines.

There is no way. There are too many people pretending to be there this time, and they can't be taken away without squeezing. Anyway, these people will not treat them as Song people.
To be continued...
