Chapter 658: Naval Battle (Medium)

The two fleets quickly wrapped up together, but there were so many boats that the natives on the boats behind them were unnoticed.

An eight-oared boat quickly sailed up and leaned close to the main ship, and Lu He rang jumped from the eight-oar-boat to the main ship.

Wang Juying came over and said, "Brother Dongliang, you have worked hard in the past few years. ”

He also bowed his hand to the soldiers on the eight boats and said, "It's hard work for everyone." ”

"Don't dare, Shaobao." Everyone replied.

"Please come in," Wang Ju invited Lu He into the cabin again, and Yang Congxian consciously avoided it. Last year, the emperor sent a lieutenant envoy to come, and I believe that the above also knew what Wang Ju was doing below, but it seems that the court also acquiesced.

After all, Jiaozhi is too ferocious, and he wants the horses to be good, and he wants the horses not to eat grass, so he has to fight poison with poison and defeat evil with evil. Besides, what if another one suffers heavy losses?

But this matter will eventually be controversial, and it is better to avoid it yourself, so that others will investigate it in the future, and you can say that I don't know.

Wang Ju asked Lu He to sit down and looked at him: "Over the past few years, people have lost a lot of weight, and it seems that Brother Dongliang has suffered a lot of hardship." ”

"It's okay, it's okay."

"How's it going over there?"

"General Yan was reluctant to do it, there were still many people on that island, and hundreds of immigrants were killed, and finally I took my men up and cleared it up again before the crisis was resolved."

"But you must remember, if General Wuyan went up with 80,000 soldiers to expel him, so many people on the island, how many people would have to die if they wanted to be completely expelled? Each person is in a different position, and their ideas are different. I won't talk about it anymore, and I won't have the opportunity to do that in the future......"

"There's a chance. That would be more than a decade later. ”

The Chinese have a strong idea of inheriting their ancestors. There are three kinds of unfilial piety. There is no queen, so once you have enough land and food, you desperately want to have children. 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 a child is too high, even if you let go of having a second child. Not many people are willing to have a second child anymore.

This can be regarded as a kind of brainwashing, and brainwashing is everywhere...... For example, the current respect, the quiet inaction of Taoism, the karma of Buddhism in the afterlife, such as the cutting of the Qing Dynasty in the previous life, especially the folk cooking of the American emperor, washed a group of people to value the dog more than the human, but fortunately, the American emperor eats chicken and eats cow. Eat sheep, eat pigs. Eat fish, otherwise there is a chicken party, a cow party, a sheep chicken, a fish party, a pig party, a horse party...... What the fuck are you going to do! In comparison, it's still the stick monkey that is more resistant, and I eat the dog, what's the matter! I'm going to kill dolphins, what's the matter!

Wouldn't cattle contribute more to humanity? Wouldn't those dolphins be cuter? Wouldn't the horse be more loyal?

Moreover, cattle and horses do not have rabies, the second largest killer of humans......

This is the role of brainwashing, so that everyone went to the country to buy rice and toilets produced in China, and as a result, their own enterprises had to go out of business, so they had to produce low value-added products forever, exchanging profits for the environment, speculating in houses, and farmers pouring milk......

Of course, Wang Ju is now also brainwashing, promoting the Fan and Han families in Gyeongju, encouraging the Fan and Han to join forces and accelerate integration. This is especially true in Guangnan West Road, and education was set up to teach these barbarian children to learn to speak the Song Dynasty dialect and recognize the Song Dynasty characters, when there is not much difference in language, culture, and living habits, what is the difference between Han and Barbarian?

Therefore, 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 openly and desperately promote the good of having more children, unfilial piety, no queen, etc., encouraging everyone to raise more children, and even in order to allow many women to migrate over, there are a series of preferential policies.

This led the people on the other side to desperately "make children".

Now the ratio of adults to children on the other side has reached an astonishing 2 to 1, and this ratio continues to skyrocket.

More than ten years later, when these children grow up one by one, the proportion of Ding Zhuang will reach an astonishing eighty percent, so the transfer of seventy or eighty thousand Ding Zhuang as soldiers will not exert any pressure on the other side.

However, Wang Ju was silent in thought.

Lu He let know Wang Ju's thoughts, how many years later, God knows what the situation is on the other side? These second-generation people grew up, but they were not their parents, ninety out of five were extremely poor people, and they would have a grateful heart, and the imperial court would also intervene one after another.

He said: "Shaobao, forgive me for saying more, there are too many people from overseas, they are spread too widely, and there are more than a dozen medium-sized and large islands in the south of Luzon, all of which have allowed me to expel the people almost as much, but it is inevitable that there will be people who have fled from the past." Now the migration is the best, but after a long delay, the population on it has multiplied again, which is quite troublesome. When the time comes, it will be more extensive, and a charter must be drawn up. ”

In fact, it has restrained a lot of Wang Ju's energy now, and there is a bit of chaos below.

Wang Juju said: "In this way, after you are responsible for sending the people ashore, you will continue to hand it over to Wei Sheng and Zhu Tingguang to lead, and you will come back with the ship, and I will write a letter again, so that the rest of the people will also ride to Guizhou one after another, and first formulate a rough charter, and then divide the overseas into four roads, Luzon Road, New Pa Road, East Great Ocean Road, West Great Ocean Road, and the country is divided into two regions, one is responsible for the trade between Hangzhou and Mizhou City, and the other is responsible for the trade between Quanzhou and Guangzhou City. ”

The formulation of the constitution, the division of each region, and the appointment of its own administrator are actually equivalent to gradually entering the formal management.

But how to formally manage?

Wang Ju rubbed his head.

Lu Herang was also thinking about it, but in fact, it was only divided into four roads, and the area of each road was still too large.

However, the population is still too small, and there can't be only 100,000 people along the way.

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

But this is unlikely, and immediately Wang Ju will organize a large-scale migration of the people again, and there will be fewer and fewer people who can migrate overseas in the future. Unless it is the north, but the people of the north are the core of the country, and without a catastrophe, Wang Ju will not dare to move casually.

However, there is a piece of good news that after Zhao Ji heard Huang Gonggong's reply, he secretly sent people from the Imperial City Division to the southeast and made a secret visit. In his mind, Wang Ju at least relocated more than a million destitute people, and Kapok Si also migrated more than a million people to Liangguang. Then there should not be many households living in extreme poverty. However, he was disappointed by the results of his visit. There are still large numbers of people living in extreme poverty and fleeing from hidden households in the state capitals. Including Quanzhou, it can only be said that Quanzhou has been governed by Wang Ju, as well as Ge Shaohua and Xiao Gui Cao, the proportion is much smaller than that of other regions, and all kinds of taxes in this state, especially commercial taxes, have doubled and tripled compared with seven years ago.

This result made Zhao Ji a little confused, why are there so many people in extreme poverty?

Although this secret investigation is not for the purpose of migrating overseas. It was for the migration of Jiaozhi investigation, but this is also good news, at least it proves that what Wang Ju said is right.

It's a pity that Wang Ju doesn't know this inside story, otherwise he would have written a few more explanations to explain that Zhao Ji's policy would have been relaxed a little.

Now that neither King Lu nor King Lu wanted to move more people, Lu He Rang changed the topic and asked, "How did Shao Bao expect that the enemy would launch a naval battle?" ”

"Well...... It's a long story. Last year, Wei Sheng was preparing to break through from Jiaozhi's Stirrup Prefecture and then come back from Dali. But before he arrived in Stirrup Prefecture, he was trapped by Jiaozhi using the terrain and sent a large number of Kunlun slaves to shout. The temptation of food caused disputes among the remaining tens of thousands of people. Wei Sheng saw that the situation was not good. Take the lead in breaking through to the Great Wall. When he returned, he judged that someone might have betrayed, or that the Jiaozhi people could have a way to communicate with these Kunlun slaves. ”

"Can anyone betray you?"

"Yes, there are six of them."

"Shameful."

"You can't blame them, Jiaozhi is cruel and tortured, and not many people can withstand it."

"What happened?"

"Later, I consulted with General He and Tao Gong, and then made some inferences, last year, our biggest weakness is that the people come from all over the island, most of them are ignorant and uncivilized people, and even the language is different, even you, now you can't directly communicate with everyone in language. Therefore, it is difficult to really lead and command in this line, and most of the time it is a mess. In order to achieve the goal with the minimum cost and sacrifice, I did not send many real Song Dynasty soldiers last year, and only because of the convenience of command did I send some, otherwise the number would be even less. Therefore, the number of elite soldiers is small, and even if a large number of weapons are provided to these indigenous people, it is also necessary to prevent the future, and the weapons are mostly backward weapons. When they came ashore, they were not provided with food, so they had to move and plunder every day, and although this could cause a frenzied sweep due to hunger, as long as they were trapped in one place, they would panic and even eat each other. In addition, there are not many people who know how to be watery, and ninety-nine percent of the people have never taken a sea boat, or have only made a short distance of movement on the sea boat, and they are not suitable for getting on the sea boat, and many people are seasick. ”

"These are really where the weaknesses are."

"Well, so it was deduced at the time that the enemy would have two ways to deal with it. The first is to besiege and use the Kunlun slaves and grain they have captured to tempt this group of people this year. But this is very risky, and last year they were able to succeed, it was the trend of defeat, and tens of thousands of people had no intention of fighting again. When people first come ashore this year, they will not have other ideas. And there are too many people, and if they are not successful, as long as one erosion occurs, it will have a powerful destruction of Cochin. Besides, I still have an army of 100,000 in my hands, and I am eyeing it. But what I'm most worried about is that Cochins do it, they are risky, and so are we. ”

"Yes," Lu He said.

These are people after all, although the IQ is not high, ignorant, but not livestock, if you have the ability, lure these people down, Ding Zhuang can be made into soldiers, the rest of the women and children can be left in the rear as slaves, engaged in the production of textiles.

Then this group of people can't get it right, but it has become the help of the Jiaozhi people.

"Jiaozhi doesn't dare to bet, and we don't dare to bet. Therefore, there is a second way, Cochin is mostly close to the sea, the river network is dense, there are many fishermen, if they are organized, and then build a large number of warships, and fight with us in the near sea, if it is like last year, these Kunlun slaves on the ship can not play a role, and there are only more than 2,000 sailors who can fight. When the time comes, it will be a one-sided slaughter, and it will even be able to snatch or destroy all our warships. Without these ships, I would be helpless. However, I agreed with His Majesty for a period of four years, and when the four years arrived, I could only obediently transfer to other places, or even demote my officials. But this situation may seem dangerous, but it can be resolved. ”

Lu He nodded, not to mention that Yang Cong had trained a large number of sailors on the overseas islands of Guangzhou, but he also brought back all the remaining more than 3,000 subordinates.

"Then I asked Wei Sheng to select two people from his subordinates who are shrewd and capable of knowing a few words, one is called Lu Cheng and the other is Cai Sanfang. Let them dive back in. At that time, there were still some scattered people wandering around Cochin. I told them to find these people, and to continue to wander with them, and the Jiaozhi people sent troops to extinguish them, and then surrendered. But don't say much, just tell us about these weaknesses of last year, although there may be soldiers who betrayed, but only Wei Sheng and Zhu Tingguang knew the detailed plan at that time, and the rest of the soldiers didn't know. Then combine it with the information obtained by Cochin. If the two coincide, the cochin person will believe it. Under such inducement, Jiaozhi will inevitably launch this naval battle. ”

"It's a good idea."

"Take advantage of the situation, and just in case, I sent scouts to Thang Long Mansion to investigate, and these scouts are still resting in a temple outside Thang Long Mansion. Therefore, after the two of them pretended to cast their toes, at the end of the first month and the end of March, they each wrote down the information they had obtained and tried to send it under the statue of this temple. But after putting it underneath, leave immediately. so as not to be noticed by the cochins. After all, they're in enemy territory. At the end of the month, I sent scouts to infiltrate the temple and learned of the betrayal of the six men. At the end of March, I got the news that the Cochin people were secretly overhauling the battleship. Then there is no doubt about it. ”

"These two have meritorious."

"Well, I guess these two are on their way back." Wang Ju said, but he didn't know that in order for this plan to succeed, the two of them privately modified the plan, so Cai Sanfang died heroically.

"If you work hard this year, you can rest next year." Wang Ju said again.

If a plan takes too long, there are many variables, and people are tired.

Just like money, Wang Ju imagined that Jiaozhi had accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, and as long as he broke through Jiaozhi, the economy would not have to worry about it immediately. Therefore, in the name of maritime merchants, he borrowed 5 million pieces of silk from the imperial court and promised to repay it after two years.

However, according to the news sent by the two, it was said that in order to cope with this year's war, Thang Long Province, including the royal family, pawned property, and the people in the city were also struggling to make a living.

Then this wealth cannot be counted on.

Wang Ju had no choice but to write a letter to Liu Shaoxian, asking him to submit a request to the imperial court in the name of a maritime merchant to pay his interest first, and the principal would be repaid next year along with the interest. In order to draw more money and let yourself implement the next plan.

But in the future, it will not be without money, and there will be Western Xia, at least destroy Western Xia, so that the Song Dynasty can liberate its forces 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, it was indeed the most successful dynasty in history from the perspective of internal governance. At least in the Song Dynasty, there would be no forbidden sea, and there would be no real literary prison...... Although later generations were quite disdainful of the Song Dynasty, the longer the Song Dynasty survived, it would have a positive effect on the development of the entire civilization.

In addition, there are banks, which also require a large amount of principal.

Doesn't the court pay for it? Of course, it will come out, but you can't count on the imperial court all of it, there are too many constraints.

Suddenly, there was a banging on the hatch outside.

"Please come in," Wang Ju said.

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

"Oh," said Wang, striding outside, looking into the distance with his binoculars. Today the wind and waves are calm, the sea is blue, at the end of the line of sight, Wang Ju saw a large black dot rising from the blue sea in the telescope, it seems that the enemy has sent a lot of ships.

"Prepare for battle."

"Whoa."

"General Yang, you come to command."

"Shaobao, it's better for you to command."

"I specialize in art, naval warfare is not my specialty, and the reason why I came here is to supervise everyone's morale. Therefore, it is still you who command, and ask General Yang to take a snow on the humiliation of Donglianggang. ”

"Oh," Yang Congxian said excitedly, puffing up his chest.

How to fight the naval battle, Wang Ju only provided some advanced ideas, but lacked practice. It is more important to specialize in this technique. For example, last year, it was led by Wei Sheng and Zhu Tingguang, mainly because these two people have prestige among those indigenous people, and many indigenous people know them. But the two also lack real military capabilities, otherwise the destructive power will be even 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 the two of them were hidden in the shadows, and the name was still headed by Wei Sheng and Zhu Tingguang.

Yang Congxian immediately ordered, and one of the sailors on the ship blew a thick horn.

With the sound of a loud horn, more than two hundred warships broke away from the fleet and quickly moved forward.

In order to carry as many people as possible and save the number of ships, this time it was very full, and a very large ship could be stuffed with more than 4,000 people, and it really became a canned sardine.

There is no way, there are too many people pretending to be this time, and they can't be taken away if they don't squeeze it. Anyway, these people will not treat them as Song people.

However, in this way, they were also restricted from moving, and they were locked under the cabin together.

But there were also natives on some decks, and these people watched the ships break away from the fleet, and they didn't know what to do. They don't need to understand, anyway, the battle has nothing to do with them.

The two large fleets quickly approached, one with a much smaller number of ships, but larger and more advanced. A fleet of ships with a small tonnage, but more and more dense. The common denominator is that the soldiers on both fleets are all warlike.

Wang Ju looked at the expressions of these soldiers and was quite satisfied.

However, he didn't know that he was in charge himself, which also increased the confidence of the soldiers. After all, Wang Ju has already made a name for himself.

Lu Herang also stared ahead, they had also experienced naval battles before, and there were some pirates in the South China Sea who were not long-sighted to come to the door to die, but those were not very large.

This is the real naval battle.

Wang Ju suddenly smiled and said: "The enemy Dagang is called Donglianggang, and Dongliang's brother is Dongliang, is it destined that in this life, there will be a fate in Jiaozhi." ”

"Hey, that's true." Lu He rang laughed.

This also shows that the two of them are relaxed, otherwise they would not be joking at this time.

Yang Congxian asked his subordinates to raise a flag, which was the flag language, and the ships began to prepare busily. The battle is about to begin!

The breeze is coming, and the waves are clustering...... (To be continued......)
