Chapter 648: Pirates (Part I)
Yan Da and Miao Lu looked at the battlefield in the distance with binoculars.
"What a strong army." Miao Lu praised.
"Not necessarily, but in this terrain, this army is almost invincible." Yanda said.
But behind this is the actual combat ability and mutual cooperation ability that I don't know how many battles have been fought to sharpen it, and of course, it is also related to Wang Ju's high remuneration.
Having been on this island for more than half a year, Yanda also knows a lot about the real situation overseas.
Yan Da said again: "In fact, in the end, the gap between the two sides is too big. ”
This gap is not only related to weapons, but also to civilization, this is the real slash-and-burn farming, Yanda does not come here, it is really unimaginable, there will be human ignorance like this. Even in the inland areas, there are some remote places where there are no decent tools, cutting rice with stone knives, and usually living on fruits, which is not much different from monkeys.
Moreover, there is no strong man here, and this area is already very weak and backward, and it is divided into hundreds of thousands of tribes, so it is quickly led by himself tens of thousands of troops, step by step to the south, and then by some other people, it is connected to another island......
However, Yanda also neglected two other points, that is, these natives are very backward in IQ.
Secondly, these natives made Yan Da feel ignorant, cowardly, and sad, but what he didn't know was that if it weren't for Wang Ju, in the next few hundred years, there would be batches of Chinese people with a number of 100,000 who would be killed by these merciful natives, from east to west, from the island to the mainland......
Yanda continued to watch.
The battle was quickly coming to an end.
These 3,000 soldiers are indeed very strong. Yan Da estimated that he should be able to withstand the 6,000 soldiers and horses under the army he trained. That is, on this battlefield. Other conditions are equal, compared with Yanda's native soldiers who have been training for a long time, it is completely possible to defeat one enemy with two.
But Yanda didn't think much about it.
Since last fall, a group of migrants has migrated.
How did Wang Ju place these moves, Yan Da also deliberately went over to watch it.
Of course, he didn't know that it was actually Wang Ju alone, but he just thought that it was the behavior of hundreds of maritime merchants under the leadership of Wang Ju.
But it's really well done.
A large amount of food was prepared very early. Just waiting for this group of people to come.
Then the ship bought back a large number of production equipment and daily necessities from the Central Plains, and then the various stewards came forward to disperse the people to various settlements, took them to build houses, distributed food and daily necessities and production equipment, and even divided a small number of calves, pigs and chickens, let them raise, and then instructed the people how to cultivate. Reuse your free time to build roads. In order to communicate with each other, or to build some small water conservancy according to the terrain, so as to better agricultural production in the future. At the same time, weapons were also distributed, after all, Yanda advanced again, and there were still some local natives who fled, so these immigrants must have some weapons for self-defense.
These are only for ordinary people, and there are some special arrangements, such as some high-profit breeding and planting, mining, and other industries, which have to be taken over. Yanda has not seen these industries, but ordinary people can settle down like this, and those who can bring a lot of profits to maritime merchants will not be worse.
And it will soon have an effect, and soon the first batch of rice will be ripe. Shao claims to be dry season rice. Anyway, no matter what season rice is, you can still grow rice in winter, and Yanda is convinced.
But what made him feel the most were the two commandments for the arrival of immigrants.
It was impossible to enforce the Song law on the island, so Wang Ju brought the three chapters of Han Gaozu's covenant: death for those who kill Chinese, punishment for those who hurt others, and punishment for theft.
That is, these immigrants are forbidden to kill each other.
At the same time, there were two laws, and those who intermarried with foreign races were given a hundred rods and a heavy fine. Those who forget their ancestors and say that they are not Chinese will be killed.
Yan Da asked Shao Xuan that Wang Ju in Shaanxi did not do this, on the contrary, he also encouraged all ethnic groups to intermarry with each other.
Shao Xuan explained, migrating overseas, the imperial court wanted to send officials to manage it, and the maritime merchants agreed, after all, it was a big stall. Yanda is also funny, that's not, just this island is how big, and there are several bigger islands in the southeast.
But Shao Xuan estimated that the imperial court could not manage it well, how to say it, it was mainly too far away from the imperial court, and the whip could not reach it.
Wang Ju didn't have a clear idea of what the future would be, so he could only say that taking one step at a time would at least give these desperate people a way to live, alleviate the pressure of the dense population in the country, and bring some financial resources, which could be used to do some practical things for the imperial court.
In the future, Wang Ju guessed that there would be two situations, one was called distant thoughts, but it was more cordial. Of course, this situation is terrible.
There is also a kind of estrangement because of the distance, which eventually produces estrangement, just like Jiaozhi, although because it is separated by the sea, it will not be dangerous to reach the Central Plains, but Wang Ju does not want this result.
So these two rules were set, the first is not to let their blood relationship be weak, after all, the number of immigrants is still not much, unlike the inland, what bloodline races are put in the Central Plains, and they have also been integrated, just like the powerful Xianbei tribe back then. But not overseas, the number of indigenous people is still very large, this is the east side of the sea, if it is on the other side of the main waterway, I don't know that there are millions of people. As soon as the blood is washed, it is diluted, and it is overseas, and the blood is weakened, and the farther and farther it is. But it is useless to keep the bloodline, they must not forget their roots, this is the fundamental, so there is a second stricter law.
In the future, when the immigrant population in various places increases, people will be sent to compile history books, and if there is an examination, it will be regarded as a compulsory subject, so that they can educate generation after generation so that they will not forget their roots.
As long as they do not forget that they are Chinese, overseas immigrants can interact well with the country, complement each other, and become stronger and stronger. It is not like the previous dynasties and generations, which finally had peace for a period of time, and then they were torn apart, the war was endless, and the people of Li were displaced.
Of course, this is Wang Ju's wishful thinking, and although national unity is an advantage compared to another time and space, unity is the greatest weakness of this race...... So what kind of freak it developed into in the end, Wang Ju didn't dare to judge.
Here Yanda did not notice the difference between China and the Song dynasty.
Anyway, in the eyes of the surrounding countries, China is the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was China.
So what else can be said?
One qiē for China!
As for Wang Ju, he concealed some. Yanda can understand. Don't hide it, some civil servants in the imperial court still don't know how much right and wrong they can figure out. Besides, this is also Wang Juyi's usual style.
So when he saw and heard it, Yan Da didn't think much about it when he saw the strength of these three thousand soldiers.
As the battle drew to a close, the remaining natives were taken prisoner and taken away one by one, and finally to the ships of the sea. Brought to Guangnan West Road, used them to build roads and water conservancy, and then according to the agreement between Wang Ju and Yanda, they found a way to distribute them, and finally let these people be integrated by the huge population base of the Central Plains, and at the same time, it also gave some of them a way to live.
Beyond this category, Wang Ju can't agree, one doesn't have that ability, and the second Wang Ju is not the Virgin.
Yanda put down the binoculars. said, "Go." ”
There is also a southeast piece that has not been evicted clean, and it has been expelled. Once their mission is complete, they can go back. However, Wang Ju did not lie to him, if he wanted to sail safely on this waterway, this island really had to be occupied, otherwise it would cause all kinds of inconveniences.
Across the sea, it's like a world.
On the other side of the world, the rainy season is coming.
Tao Zongyuan also rushed back from the capital of the Song Dynasty.
The more he thought about it on the road, the more he felt that it was wrong, because in the past, the Song Dynasty's monarchs and ministers should give Jiaozhi a good face, good foolishness, and not the death of people in the Lingnan Border, so Jiaozhi became more and more bold.
However, this time the emperor of the Song Dynasty was too tough to speak.
At least let yourself be seen, but when you don't even see it, you are blasted out of the capital.
What went wrong?
So he sold five tribute elephants to entertainers on the way, rode a donkey, and quickly returned.
However, when he arrived in Langzhou, he was dumbfounded, what did this Great Wall come up with? Mainly at this time, this section of the Great Wall in Langzhou has been repaired, so the feeling given to him is conjure.
But it was impossible to really conjure such a long city wall, so Tao Zongyuan inquired about it and quickly heard the truth.
He immediately went to see Wang Ju.
Before the city wall was repaired, the two armies could not be withdrawn, and Wang Ju had to stay on the front line and take charge of the overall situation.
In his imagination, although the wall was very long, it was not a regular wall, but it was not a good word, and if it was not repaired and thickened more vigorously in the next two or three years, it would collapse in four or five years at most.
Coupled with the deliberate avoidance of the mountains and forests, and the river network on the plains, with so much labor going on, it should be about the end of by mid-April. However, looking at the situation, it will not be over until the end of May.
And the rainy season is also coming, and the torrential rain pours from time to time, which makes Wang Ju feel very bad. After hearing Tao Zongyuan's question, Wang Ju was furious and scolded: "Why build the Great Wall, let me ask you, when Guo Gong led the army to defeat your Jiaozhi army on the bank of the Fuliang River, you Jiaozhi apologized and surrendered, did you give us the five states to compensate us to the Great Song Dynasty!" ”
"Then why did this official come to Guangnan, you Jiaozhi sent so many spies to infiltrate the five states, and even Luzhou in Qiyuan Prefecture, to bewitch the hearts of those tribal chiefs, so that they can cooperate with you Jiaozhi and rebel against our Great Song Dynasty!"
"At the beginning, you promised Guo Gong to send all the captive people back to our Song Dynasty, what kind of people did you send!"
"This official has sent several envoys to ask for the people, but you Jiaozhi lord actually didn't receive it, this official is the crown prince of the imperial court, the Privy Council, and the Liangguang Xuanfu Jing envoy, sent an envoy to your Jiaozhi, why didn't your lord receive it!"
"This official sent ten tamed elephants to your lord, your Li Changjie actually said to offer, our Song Dynasty wants to 'dedicate' to you, or that your Jiaozhi is more powerful than the Khitan (referring to the Song Renzong Song-Xia War, the Liao State came to blackmail, from 300,000 to 500,000, the year coin was changed to a sacrifice coin, Fu Bi disagreed, and finally Lu Yijian made a compromise and changed it to a Na coin or a year Na, which is slightly better than Xian)!"
However, Wang Ju's teeth were itching, and the battle of Tiandefu was fought to that extent, but Li Changjie still escaped.
As soon as this guy died, Jiaozhi fell half the sky.
It's a pity that they weren't caught or killed.
Tao Zongyuan in front of him knows, but what ten elephants, what sacrifice?
There's no way to talk about this, and who said it? If this dedication is spoken, can the Song Dynasty still have room for peace? No wonder he was quickly driven out of the capital of the Song Dynasty.
So he hurried back to Thang Long City.
A few days later, Tao Zongyuan returned. He went back to report it. Li Changjie first admitted his mistake. But needless to say, I knew that Wang Ju must have deliberately misinterpreted his words, which made Tao Zongyuan go to the capital of the Song Dynasty, and he didn't even see the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Then everyone discussed, and there was one thing that was recognized, that is, Wang Ju was in Guangnan, and it was best to be honest, this person was not easy to deal with, and he underestimated Wang Ju last year. But it was also Wang Ju who deliberately underestimated Jiaozhi. In order to find time to train the recruited soldiers to combat effectiveness. Including the ten elephants, the same is true, it is intentionally set up, but because of contempt, everyone took the initiative to get into it together, giving Wang Ju a handle and the so-called righteousness.
But this Great Wall, don't care too much, what you care about is the people in the Great Wall, Jiaozhi has not been cured, can the Song Dynasty be cured? Just cure. Problems will arise in the future, and all you need to do is send a few scouts to sneak in and provoke them. The southern states can still be recovered.
But the problem at hand is to get these captive people back, and there are more than 10,000 prisoners of war, many of whom are veterans, elite soldiers of Jiaozhi. It is impossible to count on any good news from the capital of the Song Dynasty.
Tao Zongyuan had no choice but to come back.
Anyway, it's close now, and it's easy to go back and forth.
Wang Ju was furious when he heard this, and reprimanded him repeatedly: "Let me ask you, although I defeated you again in Tiande Mansion, have you expanded the territory line!" ”
The territory line has changed, but it has not expanded, and if it is according to the original agreement with Guo Kui, it should be reduced by a small part.
"What hasn't been done in our Song Dynasty to keep our promises, on the contrary, you Jiaozhi people can't be trusted!"
"Since you have said it, I agree, but you must first release all the captive people, remember, first. Once the Great Wall is repaired, I will take these people to the rear to build roads and water conservancy, and then sell them into mine slaves to compensate for the losses of the captives! ”
"It's impossible to be a day late, only this condition, there is no other room to turn back! If not, not only will these people not return to you, but the border line will not only be the Great Wall, then the Qiu River, then the Fuliang River, and then the ...... You know! ”
And then there is no then, after crossing the Fuliang River, it is Thang Long Mansion, Thang Long Mansion has been taken down, can Jiaozhi still save zài?
After the reprimand, he sent his subordinates to blast Tao Zongyuan away.
Tao Zongyuan left the middle tent and heard Wang Ju say in the back: "What are the things, a country with big eggs can also not know the height of the sky!" ”
Tao Zongyuan was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
But Wang Ju is not wrong, although the Song Dynasty is the smallest dynasty in the history of China's great unification, it is also dozens of times larger than the current Jiaozhi, and Jiaozhi is not a big country compared with the Song Dynasty?
Tao Zongyuan went back to report.
The palace in Jiaozhi was dead, including Li Changjie, all of them were worried.
Don't think that what Wang Ju said is impossible to realize, in fact, now Wang Ju wants to control it, and he can already control it north of the river. If it is further operated and crosses the Qiu River, there is still no good way to resolve it.
If it continues to encroach like this step by step, as long as Wang Ju is calm and walks steadily, it will be very dangerous to have a cochine.
The Empress Dowager Yilan said behind the curtain: "According to him, the country must first get through this crisis, Zhuqing, don't forget, Zhancheng is our number one enemy." ”
This sentence became a decision.
Jiaozhi began to collect back the Song Dynasty people who had been taken captive before.
Wang Ju received an edict from the capital.
After so long, the capital also heard the news.
The battle was won, and not many people died, and everyone was a little happy.
However, it's normal to think about it, the 300,000 Western Xia army was defeated by Wang Ju, and it was Jiaozhi.
But the next news made Zhao Ji confused, let you have the right, and let you do whatever you want, including Tao Bi's impeachment recital, I also stayed in the middle and didn't send it, but for what, it was to kill Jiaozhi. But why did you build the Great Wall on the borders of several states? Isn't that nonsense.
When the other ministers heard that Wang Ju was repairing the Great Wall, it was as if they had been hit by a thunderstorm...... (To be continued......)
