Chapter 478 The Tang Dynasty version of Zheng He went to the West

Lao Gao, this is going to do something.

Obviously, he has been dictatorial for a long time, and he is no longer accustomed to the fate of being controlled by the imperial court and being controlled by the intrigue of the imperial court......

Of course, the main thing is that I also see the weakness of the imperial court.

His place is high and the emperor is far away, not to mention that the court can't take care of it at this time, even when he can take care of it, it is difficult for him to manage it here, so why does he have to be at the mercy of others? However, this has nothing to do with Yang Feng, in fact, his next plan is to let the Tang Dynasty enter the era of the feudal town first, and the Tang Dynasty with a feudal town will be beneficial to him, and the feudal town will gradually wear away the people's trust in the Li family and fade the halo of destiny on the Li family.

He has risen.

And what he needs next is to extinguish the light of the Li family, so that it can be replaced.

The secession of feudal towns is the best means.

Don't think that the secession of the feudal towns is a bad thing, control it well, don't let the feudal towns engage in civil war, especially don't make the kind of feudal town melee at the end of the Tang Dynasty, but it is conducive to the development of the country, especially the restoration of the martial spirit of the common people, from the Anshi Rebellion, it can be seen that the martial spirit of the Han people is being consumed by peaceful life, and it is time to reinvigorate it. Especially in those frontier areas, the spirit of foreign expansion and plunder of those feudal towns is not comparable to those princes and ministers of the imperial court, and if they control and prevent them from civil war, they can only gain benefits through external expansion. And the strength of the Tang army in the era of feudal towns is also undoubted, the Khitan that the Great Song Dynasty has not defeated in his life is just the plaything of the envoys of the Lulong Festival, and the Western Xia, which also made the Great Song Dynasty desperately resist, is just a festival envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and the strength of these arrogant soldiers and fierce generals can be completely guided to harm the surrounding peace-loving friendly neighbors and brothers of all ethnic groups.

The trouble of separating the feudal towns is only the need to work hard to unify in the future, but this is the most trivial matter for Yang Feng, when he needs it, he will order the big government to return, go to the capital to have a glass of wine and release the military power to support their own pensions, those who dare to resist carry maces to the door and shoot to death, and his subordinates are shot to death like those who dare to resist.

But before that, they must be divided.

Including himself.

Then under this principle, he and Gao Xianzhi are natural allies.

"But, Gao Gong, you still have to fight!"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"This is no problem, the old man thinks that he is still a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, the Emperor Taishang promoted me, I will definitely not betray the Tang Dynasty, as a Xinjiang minister of the Tang Dynasty, I will still fulfill my duties, but I will not go on the expedition, this camp festival makes you choose another one."

Gao Xianzhi said.

Obviously, he was afraid that as soon as he left, Li Heng immediately sent someone to take over the territory.

"Yes, but your sailors have to go!"

Yang Feng said.

"The whole army of the naval division, 10,000 infantry, are all elite."

Gao Xianzhi said.

That's fine, his soldiers can really fight, and the Lingnan Army can also draw 10,000, Li Gao can also draw 10,000, so that you can make up 30,000 infantry, the Annan Army is the most capable of fighting, the Lingnan Army is slightly worse, but it will not be too bad, Li Gao's Zhejiang soldiers must be the worst, after all, he is a newly established Jiedu envoy, a newly recruited soldier, but the equipment will definitely not be bad, Li Gao is rich, 30,000 infantry is enough to build a stronghold in Bengal.

After all, their opponents are the third brothers, and this is the real third brother, not the Mongols of the Mughal Empire who can actually fight.

It is estimated that they have nothing but war elephants.

But the war elephant thing, against the bed crossbow of the Tang Army's standard equipment, it seems to be useless, the heavy armor war elephant of the Southern Han Dynasty under the city of Shaozhou was also shot on the ground by Pan Renmei's bed crossbow, and the most important thing in the hands of the soldiers of Annan and Lingnan is all kinds of crossbows, in fact, the core of these southern soldiers' combat is the crossbow, from the eight-cow crossbow to the divine arm bow to the vehicle-mounted crossbow, it can be said that there are everything, and their Mo knife hands are not many, after all, the Mo knife has to be moved by those biao big men, and the physical fitness of the southern soldiers is generally poor. They prefer a combination of spears and divine arm bows, in short......

Nothing in general.

Thinking about who their opponent was, Yang Feng really didn't think there was anything to worry about.

Gao Xianzhi is unwilling to be the envoy of this camp, so it will be replaced by He Luguang, Gao Xianzhi's subordinate general Zhang Guangsheng is responsible for commanding the 10,000 Annan Army, this name made Yang Feng stunned for a while, and later learned that he was recruited to join the army when Gao Xianzhi went south, because he was the first to rush to Longwei Pass when he fought Nanzhao, so he stood out and became Gao Xianzhi's cronies. The official name of the Annan Navy Division is the Dinghai Navy, and the direct commander is the Dinghai Navy envoy Zhang Boyi, which is another name that makes Yang Feng feel a little stunned, Zhang Boyi's father is Gao Xianzhi's deputy Zhang Shun, which can be regarded as the second generation of the Annan Army's group.

This was the expedition of the Annam Army.

A month later, Lingnan Jingluo envoy He Luguang rushed from Guangzhou to Jiaozhou.

He readily accepted the position of the envoy of the camp festival, he was different from Gao Xianzhi, he did not have the intention of being a warlord, in fact, he had been in charge of the Lingnan army on the battlefield of Shannan East Road before, so he didn't care about staying away from his own territory, and he knew very well that this expedition to Tianzhu for the southern towns, the most important thing was not to copy the back road of Tubo, but to obtain a trading base in Tianzhu and expand the maritime trade west of Longyamen, then his expedition would definitely bring benefits to the merchants of Liangguang Hainan, Annan controlled the spices of Nanyang, Li Gao's Fujian-Zhejiang clique controlled the trade in the north, so the Lingnan clique should control the trade in Tianzhu.

The desire for colonization has germinated along the coast.

The Lingnan gentry behind him were extremely supportive of this.

In this way, with the addition of Li Gao, Yang Feng's East Route Army, that is, the expeditionary Tianzhu Army, was formed, Li Gao was made by the sailor camp, He Luguang was made by the Lu Division, and the generals under Yang Feng who could find the name in history were Zhang Guangsheng, who was famous for killing the envoys in the original history, Zhang Boyi, the general of Li Guangbi's subordinates, and Li Xilie, the town of Bahu who killed Yan Zhenqing and even called the emperor......

He is Li Gao's confidant general.

He was originally a nephew who went south with Dong Qin from Lulong, Li Gao has been officially appointed as the envoy of Zhejiang East Province and Fujian Province, Dong Qin succeeded the Qingqi Jiedu envoy, Li Gao, who had no land generals, took the opportunity to find Dong Qin's important person, Dong Qin was happy that he gave up his position and had to befriend Li Gao in the future, so Dong Qin simply sent him to Li Gao, Dong Qin had been given the name Li Zhongchen, and his nephew naturally changed his surname to Li.

In short, the Eastern Route Army was formed in this way.

At this time, it was already the end of the year, and according to the plan, they would start in June, Li Gao's fleet would first go south from Mingzhou to Guangzhou, pick up He Luguang's subordinates, and then go to Wu'an, and join the fleet sent by Gao Xianzhi and go south along the coastline together, passing through Saigon, the base of Annam, in Shui Chenla, and going south to Xiangshan, which is also Annan's base in Borneo. In fact, it is Kuching, Ko Xian Chi in Borneo has a total of three main spice picking bases, Xiangshan, Golden Beach, Silver Beach, these three attractive names are Kuching, Pontianak and Bandar Seri Begawan, from Xiangshan to the east wind area while avoiding the typhoon area, downwind to the west straight into the Dragon's Tooth Gate to Sri Buddha to die, and then out of the Strait of Malacca to the north straight into Bengal.

In fact, it is Zheng He's route, unlike Zheng He, who went to promote national prestige and do business by the way, this fleet was for colonization and plunder.

In other words, this is the right reason.

Under normal circumstances, they would reach Bengal in six months' time or next spring at the latest, and then whether or not Yang Feng's army arrived, they would have to seize a piece of land in Bengal, or by other means, in any case, they would establish a stronghold on the banks of the Ganges, and recruit river transport vessels, or simply start building river boats in large numbers on the banks of the Ganges. You don't have to worry about any preparation, you can find dry wood, you can use dry wood, you can't find it, you can use wet, it's nothing more than rotting fast, but it's no problem to support upstream shipping for a few months, Bangladesh has no shortage of teak, it's a big deal to destroy and rebuild, I'm really afraid that the big raft is not safe, and it definitely doesn't need any shade. If possible, build another stronghold at the end of the upstream shipping, in any case as close as possible to the mountain pass of Yadong, and then forcibly collect enough grain at Tianzhu to transport it there to prepare.

The main duty of this expeditionary force was to prepare food for Yang Feng's army in advance, because after entering Tibet northward, it was impossible to grab enough food and livestock to maintain the needs of a large army......

Well, Yang Feng actually planned to take 100,000 hungry wolves to sweep Tibet.

So that the grain can only be prepared in India.

Or rather, grab it.

But it's useless to rob, you have to transport, especially the water transportation of the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers must be prepared in advance, and when these are ready, his army can go straight to the Yadong Pass as soon as he arrives, and then cross the Himalayas to raid his home, the Tubo people have no army in the south, their core is the Luo area, and the army is all on the northern border line and the Tang army confronted the Tang army, his 100,000 troops killed to the Luo Qi, and razed the city from the ground is no problem, Compared with the distance between the Tibetan army and his attack on Luozi from Tianzhu, it was a full five times the difference, and it was impossible for the Tibetan army to rush back before his sweep was completed.

And after he completed the sweep and withdrew to Tianzhu, the returning Tibetan army must be indignant, and under normal circumstances, it will definitely pursue, which can lure them to India for a decisive battle.

The decisive battle in India will not be difficult.

His army can easily annihilate those brave and invincible Tibetan warriors at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, saying that there will be altitude sickness from low altitude to high altitude, but high altitude to low altitude will also be drunk with oxygen, he doesn't believe that those dizzy Tibetan warriors can still maintain normal combat effectiveness, he just wants to be in India,
