Chapter 275: One More County

With doubts, Liu Feng ordered the team to speed up.

Soon after, he returned to Ryujo.

After entering the city, Liu Feng went straight to the Taishou Mansion. To Liu Feng's surprise, in the hall of the Taishou Mansion, there were not only Fang Dao but also Pang Tong and Jiang Wan waiting for Liu Feng.

Fang Dao's face was dark, his skin was chapped, and there was a smell of sea on his body, and he looked like he had been exposed to a lot of wind and sun at sea.

Pang Tong and Jiang Wan were happy, and there was a strange light in their eyes that couldn't be hidden.

Glancing at Fang Dao, Liu Feng was a little interested in his sea voyage, but after glancing at Pang Tong and Jiang Wan, the two civil and military masters, Liu Feng began to guess what strange things had happened.

These two people in charge of civil and military affairs are very busy.

Collect the army and send the people.

What is the big deal that can make these two people give up the task at hand and sit here. And this major event must also be brought by Fang Dao.

With strangeness in his heart, Liu Feng went straight to the main seat and sat down.

"My lord." At this time, Pang Tong, Jiang Wan, and Fang Dao all bowed to Liu Feng and said.

"No excuses." Liu Feng raised his hand and signaled for exemption, then turned his eyes to Fang Dao and asked with a smile: "You have worked hard all the way to Liaodong." ”

Although it was strange in his heart, Liu Feng still affirmed the results of Fang Dao's trip to Liaodong first.

"Thank you for your kindness." A trace of gratitude flashed in Fang Dao's eyes, and he bowed again.

If there was no Liu Feng, he would still be drifting with Gan Ning, since he defected to Liu Feng, his identity has become an official army, and he has slowly become a military marquis from Dubo.

and then was appreciated by Liu Feng and entrusted with important tasks.

It can be said that the person who discovered him was Gan Ning, and the person who promoted and reused him was Liu Feng.

With this feeling in mind, Fang Dao was able to drift thousands of miles on the sea and reach Liaodong.

"The school will be killed, and compassion should be." Liu Feng smiled slightly, and then said, "You tell me about the affairs of Liaodong and his party." ”

"No." Fang Dao responded respectfully, and then told Liu Feng about the history of Liaodong and his entourage. Including the discovery of Taiwan, to the time when he was in Liaodong, Gongsun Kang sent them sixty sea ships, as well as some craftsmen who could build sea ships.

Fang Dao had reported these things to Jiang Wan just now, so he said them in great detail and was very smooth.

"Taiwan?" Liu Feng's eyes were filled with surprise, the big island in the mouth of the house, Liu Feng thought of Taiwan at the first moment.

This is really a miracle, Fang Dao and others entered the sea from the mouth of the Yangtze River and were able to drift to Taiwan.

This can no longer be summed up in luck, this is a big miracle.

A miracle is a miracle, this is not the reason for Liu Feng's surprise, the reason for his surprise is the discovery of Taiwan.

Taiwan was known as Yizhou in ancient times, and it was Sun Quan who first sent people to run it. However, Sun Quan's so-called operation only made contact with the ethnic minorities on the island, and did not directly rule.

This is because this island was not called Treasure Island in the Three Kingdoms era as it is in modern times.

It's just a relatively large island. Because it was an era when Jiangnan was called a barbarian. Even the people of Gangto do not claim to be Gangnam, but to call themselves Gangto. Not to mention Taiwan.

At that time, it was named Yizhou, which shows Taiwan's status.

However, Taiwan is an extremely important place for Liu Feng.

It is separated from Jiangdong only by a Taiwan Strait, and if a warship is sent from Taiwan, its attack covers almost the entire Jiangdong. This should be the reason why Jiang Wan and Pang Tong's eyes are strange. its military status.

Moreover, Liu Feng is from the era when Taiwan was called a treasure island, he did not think that Taiwan was a barbarian, he was confident that he could develop Taiwan into a rich island.

Set up counties and immigrate people. Promote prosperity.

In the near future, Taiwan has almost a key military purpose, and in the far term, the development of Taiwan is a great cause to expand its territory.

Although Liu Feng has no interest in great causes, he has great interest in developing Taiwan.

"Are you saying that the Iraqi took the initiative to stay in Taiwan and build the city with the 30,000 Goguryeo people?" After his heart was surging, Liu Feng regained his composure and asked Fang Daodao.

Just now, Fang Dao also mentioned that he got war horses and 30,000 Goguryeo people from Gongsun Kang.

"Hmm." Fang Dao nodded.

When Liu Feng heard this, his determination to set up a Taiwan county became even stronger, and the Iraqi took the initiative to stay there, and it could be seen that the Iraqi also took a fancy to Taiwan's military capabilities and had a very strong curiosity about Taiwan.

The talents of the Yi nationality are not bad, and it is more than enough to be in charge of a county. And there is an interest in Taiwan. It's a great opportunity.

"I want to quietly move the extra 200,000 people to that big island, and set up a Taiwan county, and seal the Iraqi nationality as the Taiwan county guard." Liu Feng got up and walked a few steps, suddenly looked at Pang Tong, and Jiang Wan said.

The so-called extra 200,000 people are considered to be in Changsha's lack of ability to engage in Xu Zheng, and 400,000 people were arranged in batches, of which the last 200,000 people.

These people are now staying in Jiangbei for the time being.

Ready-made population, and they bring their own rations that will last for two years.

With these 200,000 people, plus the 30,000 people of Goguryeo. With the ability of Iraq, build a city, recruit soldiers to build a naval army, and then recruit the indigenous people of Taiwan to collect the population.

Re-indoctrination.

In a few years, Taiwan can be initially developed and the population will increase to hundreds of thousands. Tens of thousands of trolls.

It's a shame not to immigrate.

But Liu Feng's words startled Pang Tong and Jiang Wan.

The reason why the two are strange is that they really take a fancy to Taiwan's military status, but they are not optimistic about Taiwan's development.

"With a population of 200,000, no matter how big that island is, it may not be able to accommodate these populations." Jiang Wan, as the head of the civil officials, raised questions.

Euphemistically objected.

And Pang Tong also had a similar look, obviously opposing this matter.

Liu Feng smiled slightly, this is the limited surname of the ancients. They don't know much about Taiwan. It was because of this lack of understanding that Taiwan was never able to develop, and it was not until the Song Dynasty that the emperor set up an office in Taiwan.

And Liu Feng wanted to set up a county with a surname, send Iraqi nationality, and run Taiwan as a general.

"The land is fertile, it can produce grains, fish and meat, and millions of people can live." With a smile, Liu Feng said slowly.

"Millions?" Pang Tong and Jiang Wan were shocked by this number of words. You must know that in such a vast place as Jiangdong, there are only 2 million living people.

"Where did the lord find out?" The 200,000 people are too important for the current Jiangxia, Jiang Wan asked reluctantly.

But this time, Liu Feng decided to trust his own judgment. It is necessary to be arbitrary.

"Fang Junhou led hundreds of troops, and he was able to capture countless barbarians. The barbarians don't eat grains, and they can live countless people on the islands, and we Han people can grow grains, so why can't we live more people? And now the armies of all parts of Jiangdong have gone to exterminate Shanyue, and even the naval army is no exception. The inventory of incoming and outgoing merchant ships is also much lax, which is a good opportunity for immigrants, and if you miss it, you don't know when you will have such a good opportunity. Although Liu Feng said with a smile, there was an undoubted look in his eyes.

Dressed neatly, with a sword hanging from his waist. Liu Feng knelt on the throne, and there was an aura of arbitrariness belonging to the princes, which exuded.

Pang Tong and Jiang Wan glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Liu Feng has always been open-minded and good at accommodating their opinions. Why are you so stubborn this time?

The two of them were puzzled, and finally Jiang Wan spoke up again: "Lord, the situation is unknown, 200,000 people are too risky, it is better to send 100,000 people over to take a look." ”

"No, you only immigrate once. After one time, I will completely block the news of Taiwan. I want the Iraqis to slowly develop Taiwan, and when the time is right, Taiwan will be the most important force for me to wave my troops into Jiangdong. Liu Feng shook his head and refused.

You have to be rigid when you are tough, and mother-in-law is a waste of opportunity.

After finishing speaking, Liu Feng ignored the gazes of Jiang Wan and Pang Tong, and turned his head to Fang Dao: "I want to appoint Yi as the county guard of Taiwan, and you as the governor of Taiwan." Then you were responsible for quietly transporting 200,000 people to Taiwan, slowly recruiting soldiers and barbarians. Up to 20,000 people. Then rest the warships and blockade Taiwan. Avoid message leaks. ”

Although he was already mentally prepared, Fang Dao was still taken aback by Liu Feng's generosity.

20,000 troops? In the past, there were only more than 10,000 people in Jiangxia.

"Don't be confused, just discuss everything with the Ichi." Liu Feng encouraged.

"No." Fang Dao suppressed the shock in his heart and raised his fist. But then, he said: "What about trade with Liaodong?" ”

"I'll send someone to deal with this matter again." Liu Fengdao.

"No." Fang Dao answered again.

"Gongyan, it's up to you to take care of this. Including appointing papers, making seals. Liu Feng turned his head to Jiang Wan and said.

Seeing that Liu Feng implemented it step by step, those who had already made a decision could no longer make a decision. Jiang Wan was also helpless, so he had to raise his fist and respond: "No." ”

This time, Liu Feng showed his vigorous and resolute side.

After the explanation was completed, Liu Feng did not stop. He asked Fang Dao to lead the way, and went to the ferry with Pang Tong, Jiang Wan and others.

Sixty sea ships brought by Fang Dao from Liaodong were docked there.

The rows of sea boats opened Liu Feng's eyes, judging from the shape of the bottom, it should be that kind of triangle, Liu Feng thought that the ships of this era were all flat-bottomed boats.

I didn't expect that there were already such ships.

Thinking about it, Gongsun Du of Liaodong sent troops from Liaodong to cross the sea and attack Qingzhou. If you don't have this kind of sea vessel, how can you do it?

After a few words of admiration, Liu Feng immediately went to take a look at the war horse that Fang Dao brought back from Liaodong.

After the great voyage, the condition of the war horse was not very good, and it seemed to be sick and crooked. But Liu Feng is still very comfortable. As long as they get used to it for a while, these war horses will be alive again.

As long as trade continues. War horses can be transported from Liaodong to Jiangxia in a steady stream.

A very simple pasture that has just been built. Liu Feng led Fang Dao, Jiang Wan, Pang Tong and others, carefully watching the situation of the war horses.

Liu Feng put his hand on the back of a black war horse and stroked it gently.

I felt the muscles that were strong, the feeling of strength.

These war horses, plus the 6,000 war horses raised in Jiangxia's captivity, are enough to have 7,000 war horses, and when the situation is mature, it is a cavalry division of three or four thousand people.

In a place like Jingchu, where the water system is developed, cavalry is useless. In a mountainous place like Yizhou, cavalry is useless. But in the conquest of the Central Plains, cavalry was useful.

For war horses, Liu Feng has an unusual greed.

"In Taiwan's affairs, we must be cautious, and we must also block news. But it is enough to hand it over to the Iraqi nationality and manage it by Fang Duwei. And Liaodong trade cannot be wasted lightly. After saying a word, Liu Feng turned his head to Jiang Wan and said: "Get a sea ship of this kind to Xiakou, and order the shipwrights to make it immediately, and wait until the sea ship is built." Gongyan immediately organized manpower to expand trade with Liaodong. ”

"No." Jiang Wan is a very good assistant, since Liu Feng has shown strong dictatorship in this matter. He will fully cooperate, and immediately respond when he hears the words.

"The war horses of Liaodong, the grain of Jiangxia. It is a matter of mutual benefit, and this maritime trade must continue, and it must be kept secret and expanded. Liu Feng raised his head and looked at the north, and said firmly.

"The war horses of Liaodong, if the energy continues to enter Jiangxia, this is certainly a good thing. But this route has always passed through Jiangdong, and now Sun Quan's army is also exterminating Shanyue, and there is no time to scruple. But Shanyue is always going to be exterminated. In other words, this route will always be discovered by Sun Quan. When the time comes, I'm afraid it will become a wedding dress. Pang Tong, who had never spoken, spoke, his eyes were very worried.

"It doesn't matter, I believe that when the time comes, Gan Ning's sailor will surprise me. All the way to the hinterland of Jiangdong and forced Sun Quan to surrender. Liu Feng smiled slightly and replied.

I couldn't help but think of the appearance of a steamer, the kind of ship that was almost invincible in the inland waterway. The speed advantage is too great.

It should be almost finished, and you can equip the navy next year. If Sun Quan dared to intercept the caravan, Liu Feng would send Gan Ning to lead a steamer to attack the major ferries and cities on the Yangtze River. Burn the beacon fire all over the entire Jiangdong.

Forcing Sun Quan to let the maritime trade continue.

As long as you hold on for a few years, you can acquire a large number of war horses and truly build cavalry divisions. At that time, the trade at sea was not very profitable.

Moreover, by that time, Taiwan had also developed and grown, forming a situation in which the east and west sides were caught between Jiangdong.

Koto?

Liu Feng turned his head to look at the east with a sneer on his face.

Taiwan, Taiwan, is really a weapon that God has given me to overturn the entire Jiangdong.

From a long time ago, Liu Feng knew that the so-called alliance was just a means, and the allies were actually enemies in the real sense.

If the alliance relationship is too solid, it will cause a tragedy like Guan Yu's loss of Jingzhou.

Moreover, Liu Feng no longer wants to form an alliance with Jiangdong.

"Huh." Thinking of his plan for the Battle of Chibi, Liu Feng let out a sneer.
