Central Asia, Yangon.

At this time, it is late autumn, and many places in the interior of the Central Plains are already quite cold, but Yangon is still very hot because of the weft seat.

Lu Ren was staying on the landing craft at the moment, dealing with many matters. I have to say here that since Lu Ren came to Yangon, except for some necessary occasions to go to the mainland to do business, the rest of the time has basically been staying on the landing craft, and he is known to the outside world as "not setting up palaces, not cultivating gardens, and not wasting people's money", anyway, it means not spending money indiscriminately, not building much, and not engaging in personal enjoyment.

And the people saw that Lu Ren really did this, usually stayed on the boat with nothing to do, and almost never asked Yangon for anything other than the necessities of life, and their love for Lu Ren naturally increased unabated. You must know that whether it is ancient or modern, as long as the people in power engage in personal pleasure, the people's lives will be sad, so a person in power like Lu Renxian, who does not disturb the people, can easily make the people feel good about him.

But actually...... At least in Lu Ren's opinion, in this kind of tropical area, spending so much money and energy to build a so-called summer residence at that time is not as comfortable as staying in the air-conditioned room of the landing craft, so why waste this money and attract the disgust of the people?

There are two other reasons, one is that it is more convenient to stay on the landing craft to keep in touch with the Yizhou side, and the other is that if something really happens, it is also convenient for people to run on the landing craft. Anyway, it was already like this when he fought Liaodong before, and Lu Ren had long been accustomed to this kind of life similar to "home". It's just that the average otaku stays at home to watch movies and play games, but Lu Ren always has a lot of things to deal with at hand.

At this time, Lu Ren had a letter from the two brothers Cao Zhang and Cao Chong, in which the two brothers asked Lu Ren to send troops, and after reading the letter, Lu Ren first turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, and after pondering for a while, he nodded lightly, and the reply sent back was to allow Cao Zhang and Cao Chong to send troops, but they must fight steadily and steadily, and not be in a hurry. In addition, they must pay more attention to the physical condition of their soldiers, and stop the fighting immediately if something goes wrong.

It makes sense for Lu Ren to make such an approval. Cao Zhang and Cao Chong had about 25,000 troops on hand, which was not a problem in terms of combat effectiveness alone, but the 25,000 men were basically northerners recruited by Cao Zhang from Hebei, and Cao Zhang and them were on land in the port of Malacca half a year ago. In other words, these 25,000 northerners went directly to the tropics, and if they did not go through the corresponding adaptation period to adapt to the climate and environment of the tropics, it would easily lead to a large-scale epidemic of epidemics.

Lu Ren spent a lot of effort to gather these 20,000 and a half northern soldiers at that time, and in addition to the needs on the battlefield, there were actually a lot of Lu Ren's political goals in it, so Lu Ren didn't want to see the problems that Lao Cao had encountered in the Battle of Chibi, and now he was playing it out again on the two Xiaocao, so Lu Ren instructed Cao Zhang and Cao Chong to rest and train in the Malacca area after landing in Malacca. The main purpose was to allow the northern soldiers to take some time to adapt to the tropical climate and mostly rainforest environment. At this time, the medical system that Yizhou has developed for many years has played a huge role.

Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and Cao Zhang's letter to Cao Chong also said that the northern soldiers under their command have basically become accustomed to the local climate and environment, and it is now the late autumn season, and the weather will no longer be as hot as in summer, in other words, Cao Zhang and Cao Chong already have the conditions for fighting, so they asked Lu Ren to send troops. Lu Ren thought about it here, so he allowed Cao Zhang and Cao Chong's request to send troops.

After the pile of documents was processed, Lu Ren stretched his waist, called the waiter to send these documents everywhere, and then went to the deck to take a breath. After standing for a while, Minchan appeared beside Lu Ren and said in a low voice, "Yihao, there are two things to tell you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"First, Xiaolan's fleet will arrive in about two days, so you have to prepare how to deal with Xiaolan."

As soon as he heard this, Lu Ren's face was a little embarrassed. Mink Chan didn't bother to say anything about this, and then said: "Second, there are some people who originally belonged to Ah San's side who want to see you. ”

Lu Ren was stunned: "The people who originally belonged to Ah San's side? Does it refer to those three people who have been registered in Yizhou? ”

Mink Chan nodded. Seeing that there was no one on the left and right, Minchan leaned into Lu Ren's ear and whispered: "These Ah San want to make a request to you to allow them to form a legion and fight back to the Indian Peninsula." According to them, they were going back to rescue the oppressed people who were of the same lower caste as them. ”

Lu Ren was stunned for a moment, and only after a long time did he smile: "So fast? I thought it would take another year and a half for something like this to happen. It seems that the hard work I have spent on many things has not been in vain......"

As mentioned earlier, when Lu Ren was developing Yizhou, in order to supplement the shortage of population and labor, he bought slaves from the three city-states, and there were also many middle- and lower-class poor people who were not slaves themselves, but went to Yizhou to find food because of their poor lives. In the past ten or twenty years, the number of this group of people is not much, and the total number of them is about 140,000 or 50,000 according to Lu Ren's official statistics, but it is difficult to say whether there are any "smugglers" here.

Such a group of people are all lower-class and low-level castes on Ah San's side, but where would Lu Ren engage in that kind of shabby system? Therefore, this group of people here in Lu Ren is not so much a slave as a laborer, as long as you abide by the law and work hard, you can also enjoy the treatment of normal people. And if you have completed a certain number of years and are willing to become naturalized, Lu Ren doesn't mind putting these people into the official household registration, which is how the 140,000 or 50,000 registered population comes.

And the education of these personnel has always been something that Lu Ren pays close attention to, and of course, it can also be regarded as the "education" that feudal rulers often talk about. There are too many things to talk about, but at this time, there are also a lot of very good talents among these "Han" Ah San. But the most important thing is that the ideological concepts of these "Han" Ah San were unconsciously changed by Lu Ren.

As for this dispatch to Central Asia, Lu Ren's army also has a certain number of Ah Sanbing, but if you count the personnel in the logistics fleet, the total number is about 3,000 nods. And Lu Ren has already made a move against Ah Sancheng, and in addition to the military strike, he has also carried out a cultural and strategic offensive, so it is normal for him to have some impact on Ah San's soldiers here.

Therefore, Lu Ren was not surprised that these Ah Sanbing under his command would make such a request, but it was surprising that someone would come out so quickly. And Minchan on this side looked at Lu Ren's reaction and asked quietly, "Do you want to arrange for their representatives to come to see you?" ”

Lu Ren thought for a while, nodded and said, "Bring it here." Ah San's side was originally going to fight, but with my current situation and position, it's really inconvenient for me to act too directly against Ah San's city-state. Now that these people have come out, let them stir up the situation in the Indian peninsula, and I am just a matter of a few more dollars here. ”

Minchan nodded, signaling that she would do it when she turned around. Then she took two steps forward and stood beside Lu Ren, overlooking the sea view with Lu Ren, and suddenly asked softly: "Xiaolan has announced her retirement, so what are you going to do next?" I always feel a bit of a pity to say it, at least the song and dance drama that Xiaolan withdrew, I couldn't catch up because I stayed here in Yangon with you. I heard that the song and dance show was really exciting. ”

Lu Ren was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "The next road, let Xiaolan go by herself." Ah Xiu, you should also understand that I never wanted Xiaolan to be a puppet or a plaything in my hands, but she can make her own choice. ”

Minchan said: "Speaking of which, I really envy Xiaolan. You say I didn't meet you first when I was a little girl? ”

Lu Ren laughed: "Don't come to this set!" In fact, if it weren't for something that happened, I wouldn't be a good bird, and I wouldn't have treated Xiaolan like I do now. If it weren't for those accidents, I would have eaten Xiaolan in my stomach a long time ago, and if you had followed me at that time......"

Saying that, Lu Ren smiled evilly at Minchan, and Minchan replied with a big hygienic eye. However, after the hygienic eye, Minchan turned behind Lu Ren, grabbed Lu Ren's waist from behind, and put her chin on Lu Ren's shoulder: "No kidding." In fact, I did a lot of wrong things at the beginning, but in the end, I chose to follow you, which may be the most right thing I did. In fact, as a woman, having a good home, and having children under her knees is the greatest happiness. ”

Lu Ren still smiled evilly: "Then as your thank you to me, isn't it tonight?" ”

Minchan's hand on Lu Ren's stomach was immediately twisted: "You still have to do the right thing and keep some energy." I don't want to be called the kind of woman who uses her beauty to make the lord greedy and mislead her business. Also, Xiaolan will come over in two days, in case you want to have something with her then, don't make a fuss that you don't even have some inventory. ”

Lu Renxin said, who am I "poisoning"? This kind of joke is really casual. In addition, there are some sighs, no wonder modern men like the ancient marriage system, not only can they have three wives and four concubines, but women with better personalities will also encourage men to ask for little wives for fear of being said to be jealous by others.

Without further ado, in the afternoon of the next day, several representatives of Lu Ren's A Sanbing here were led into Lu Ren's landing craft to discuss with Lu Ren how to raise troops.

The number of these people is not large, and there are only more than 1,000 people who can be assembled at present, and it is really not enough to do anything. And their original intention was to ask Lu Ren to directly send troops to India, but of course Lu Ren immediately refused.

It's not that Lu Ren doesn't want to do something direct and straightforward, but if he does, he will have to use Lu Ren's main force in Yangon and the navy currently stationed in Ceylon. You must know that on the land side, the battle between Lu Ren and Guishan has a tendency to become bigger and bigger, and the navy of Ceylon has the dual mission of deterring the three city-states on the one hand, and guarding against the fleet from the rest side on the other hand, so no matter which side of the force can be easily deployed to do other things. In a word, this kind of request put forward by Han Ah San is inconsistent with Lu Ren's strategic arrangement.

But then again, when Lu Ren heard that the Han Ah San was going to make a request to him, he immediately guessed that the other party would definitely put forward this kind of request that he wanted to send troops directly to the Indian Peninsula, so Lu Ren had already made preparations.

So the situation is like this, when several representatives of Han A-san showed disappointment on their faces, Lu Ren just smiled and said to them, you more than 1,000 people should now be divided into two groups, one group should go to Ceylon, with the help of the navy stationed in Ceylon, to mobilize the poor masses in the A-San city-state, and call on the oppressed poor people to stand up bravely against the oppression of the higher castes; Another group of people returned to Yizhou and called on the Han Ah San in Yizhou to form a legion to fight back together to rescue the oppressed people.

All in all, Lu Ren will provide money, food, and weapons, but the soldiers will not help them make it up. If you want to start an incident, you can recruit the soldiers yourself, Lao Tzu doesn't have extra troops here to help you fight. Your own caste system revolution, you do it yourself. Lao Tzu doesn't necessarily want to occupy your Ah San's territory, as long as you make a mess yourself, don't add chaos to Lao Tzu's battle against Guishan and Anxi.

It's ridiculous to think about it, Cao Pi also used this method against the Aso family, with the intention of causing Lu Ren's backyard to catch fire. Perhaps this can only be said to be in the same Chinese vein, and many times the strategies that everyone comes up with belong to the ever-changing and inseparable sect. However, when the time comes, who will be able to succeed between Lu Ren and Cao Pi depends on the actual situation of the target location.

Putting these aside for the time being, let's just say that although the Han Asan representative was disappointed that Lu Ren could not directly send troops to India, Lu Ren's proposal made them feel that there was still hope for things. Moreover, although they are a little uncertain about how many people they can recruit on the side of the Asan city-state, how can they say that there are still 140,000 or 50,000 Han A3 on the Yizhou side, and the troops of 5 or 6,000 people should be recruited again.

And with 5 or 6,000 troops, combined with the financial support of Shang Lu Ren and the help of the navy stationed in Ceylon, it would be possible to make some noise. Wouldn't it be much more or less true when the movement was a little bigger and more established, and then something was propagated, and then a large number of oppressed lower castes were called upon to come and defect?

Anyway, after several representatives of Han Ah San hid to the side and discussed, they came back and expressed their willingness to accept Lu Ren's proposal. At this time, Lu Ren had already seen that two of these Han Asan representatives were the main characters, so he asked their surnames casually, but these two guys seemed to be disgusted with their original surnames...... They don't even have to think about being a lower caste, and it is difficult for them to accept that they have changed their thinking, and they have to abandon their original caste.

At this time, Lu Ren's bad taste broke out again, and he pointed to the two main characters and said: "Otherwise, I'll give you two new surnames, but it will be a little sinicized." Well, your surname is Gan, and you, let's have the surname Di......"

These two are noncommittal, and it seems that they have some ideas of their own. However, Lu Ren was snickering, because the two surnames together happened to be the name of a great man in Indian history......
