Chapter 670: I'm the Third

Han Zhen was petrified: "He really uses soldiers in Dali?" ”

Why do you have this expression, that is, the land area, now Dali not only includes the later ninety percent of the Yunnan region, a small part of the Sichuan-Guizhou region, but also a small part of Vietnam, Thailand, Laos and a large area of northern Myanmar, and even a small part of the East Indies. In terms of area, it is almost eight times more than the size of the former Cochin country!

Of course, on the surface, it seems that Jiaozhi defeated Dali.

However, this does not really represent the national strength, just like the Western Xia on the national strength can be compared to the Song Dynasty?

Even in terms of national strength, the Liao State is inferior to the Song Dynasty.

The bigger the country, the more difficult it is to forcibly destroy it from the outside, China is the best example, if it weren't for the fact that those guys from the Sima family were not angry and beat the Western Jin Dynasty into a mess, would Wuhu be able to mess with China? If it weren't for the Jin State occupying the north, would the Yuan Dynasty be able to annihilate the Song Dynasty? It can even be boldly said that if Kublai Khan does not launch a miraculous 10,000-mile long march to attack Dali and form a north-south attack on Sichuan, resulting in the Song Dynasty finally losing Sichuan, I am afraid that the Southern Song Dynasty will still not be able to destroy it!

If it weren't for Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the two sons of the kings, who made China into a mess, would the Qing people have been able to go south?

Or the Japanese state, not to mention the help of the US imperialists, if it were not for the US imperialists who provided the Japanese oil and rubber in the early stage, the Japanese would not know what the war would be. Even with this premise, if the United States imperialism and Soviet Russia did not intervene later, the Japanese state might be able to occupy Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Shaanxi, but it would still not be able to destroy China. Looking at the New Fourth Army in East China, the Eighth Route Army in North China, and the Kuomintang armies operating behind enemy lines, China is too big for the Japanese to share the strength of the Japanese army. The opposite occupies a larger territory. The weaker the power. In other words, sooner or later, it will be kicked out by China! Of course. Then victory will come later. Maybe ten years from now, maybe twenty years from now.

This truth is the difference between Dali and Jiaozhi.

Whether it is Jiaozhi or Zhancheng, they are too small in area, and they are close to the seashore, so they swept several times, and Wang Ju sent part of the army to be sandwiched among the refugees, and Jiaozhi destroyed the country. Then use the exiles to attract the Cham army to Lizhou, and the rear troops are empty. Wang Ju carried a large army in a boat and took the city of Zhancheng at once.

But can this method of warfare be applied to Dali?

Don't talk about Dali, it's Zhenla, this homeless tactic doesn't work, without him, the area of Zhenla is also large!

Lu Gongshu said: "Your Majesty, if Wang Ju really wants to destroy a large number of people, in the opinion of the ministers, it is best not to approve it, otherwise it will cost the people and money." ”

Zhao Ji asked unhappily, "Lu Qing." Where is the loss of money and labor? ”

Back then, Wang Shao ran Xihe, and Wen Yanbo also said something similar. It's like repairing a house, at the beginning the craftsman asks for very little wages, but when the repair is halfway through, the homeowner needs to increase the salary, to repair or not to repair?

Zhao Ji asked rhetorically, don't you repair your house after it is broken?

The meaning of the two is similar, but Lu Gongshu will not be as shameless as Wen Yanbo.

Zhao Ji just asked Lu Gongshu speechlessly.

Is it laborious? It's the labor, the labor of many indigenous people across the ocean, but how can this labor be counted?

Lost money? It's a loss of money, 10 million was taken out, but more than 10 million? 10 million to destroy two countries, then it only costs 5 million to destroy one country, Wang Ju, I will give you 50 million, you will destroy ten countries for me!

Of course, the imperial court took out more than 10 million, and there were many invisible expenditures, such as supporting many armors, so many armors were not completely created overseas, and the imperial court also supported a lot. Part of the income of Liangguang also made Wang Ju overdrawn, although it was not much, it would have to be millions.

If it is agreed, 8,000 soldiers enter Bashu and then go south to Dali, then they will have to provide a lot of logistical supplies, and they will also use people's husbands, although they will not be used like Guo Kui's 100,000 troops and 200,000 people's troops in the south, and it will cost some money.

But in the military, the court expenses are so much. It's too much, don't destroy Dali, even if you have already destroyed the two countries, it's not too much!

In addition, there is another cost, that is, the resettlement of the displaced people, Wang Ju is in the south, these displaced people are ignorant, unloaded the boat, and then loaded onto the boat, but once they reach the inland, do not send officials and officials to evacuate them, once so many displaced people escape and wander around, the entire southeast will be chaotic. Therefore, after the imperial court saw Wang Ju's chapter, it immediately issued an edict to all the state capitals in the southeast to be on alert immediately, not only let them immediately organize the government army to prepare to cooperate with the various stewards sent by Wang Ju to evacuate the people to the main households, but also to send 30,000 forbidden soldiers to the south to guard the states.

This is also the benefit of the centralized system, just like when Tang Taizong settled 100,000 Hu people, the whole country was quiet, and it was settled all at once.

Now, although there are more people, all the weapons are collected immediately, and there is no organization, and there is no big problem.

However, this can also be costly.

But how is this cost calculated? The displaced people were settled, the poor people went south, and a few years later, Jiaozhi became the land of fish and rice, and there was a sea route, so the Song Dynasty had an extra granary in hand, what impact would it have on the Song Dynasty?

The people take food as the sky, but the population is becoming more and more dense, and the people are not enough to eat in the harvest year, and it is a famine year, if there is a granary, although it is the sea route, it will also have a positive meaning! In fact, after the Yuan Dynasty killed all the people in the north, it transferred grain from the south and took the sea route, and the master transported more than 3 million stone grain from the sea to the north a year, so he built 9,000 sea ships between the 11th and 29th years of the Yuan Dynasty.

But officials were afraid of problems and did not dare to build large seagoing vessels, but more agile and maneuverable ocean-shading vessels and drill ships, both of which were less than 100 tons. But without the sea route, the rule of the early Yuan Dynasty would have been a major problem. In fact, in the Yuan Dynasty, it was already possible to manufacture extra-large sea ships with a load of 1,500 tons. However, history seems to have played a joke, in the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He went to the West, spent too much money, coupled with the danger of sea storms and the harm of the Japanese, so more advanced civilizations banned the sea......

So why did Wang Ju want the Northern Song Dynasty to be established for a longer time?

Although there are this and that are not good, compared to other dynasties, the Northern Song Dynasty is at least an enlightened dynasty in terms of internal governance.

Therefore, from this point of view, it is not a cost. At best, it was a major investment by the imperial court.

Wu Chong said, "Your Majesty." Dali is too big. The minister was worried that once the war started, the outcome was unknown, even if the victory was great, Dali would be destroyed, and how to be governed in the future, so Taizu used a jade axe to draw the Dadu River, and I didn't want to try it from the west. Your Majesty, please think again. ”

Feng Jing also said: "Your Majesty, Wang Ju is going south. Destroying the two countries will be a great success, and there is no need to add to it. ”

These two people have absolutely no bad intentions, and what they say is what they think. Anyway, when Guo Kui went south, the imperial court used so much money and soldiers and civilians in exchange for a disastrous victory, and they were also unwilling. At this point, Cochin became a large place of dead silence, and the kings of Champa were immediately sent to the capital. Enough, enough......

Wang Qi said: "If you talk about combat power. I am the first to be the king. ”

Lu Gongshu said: "If there is no homeless people to contain it, how can Wang Ju easily take the city? ”

Don't say anything about combat power, this practice is still very miserable!

This reason...... As long as it is a war to destroy the country, where is it possible to achieve a peaceful and benevolent kingdom that destroys people's homes?

However, Lu Gongshu is not entangled, Wang Ju's approach is cruel or not, if this kid is angered, he will get another million displaced people to the south, and then resettle, how to settle in the end? I believe that with this kid's ruthlessness, sixty percent of them will do it. Therefore, what he meant was that without these outcasts, Wang Ju would not have been able to win easily. Then when you arrive in Dali, there will be no displaced people, and you will not be able to win easily. Therefore, you can't use troops against Dali.

Cai did listen to them arguing for a long time, and said on the side: "Wang Ju didn't say that Dali must be destroyed, you can issue an edict, ask about it, and then give an edict, let him think twice, don't be impulsive." ”

Zhao Ji said: "That's it. ”

In fact, he had already guessed it, but he really didn't know if it would work or not. Moreover, the various maps that Wang Ju sent to the capital also include the maps of Dali, and it is true that the area of Dali is very large.

But he looked at the map of the countries on the big map drawn by Wang Ju, and looked at Dali, was he moved? Not excited...... That's weird!

…………

"Shaobao, if you put it together, it's about more than 9.7 million." Huang Hua said.

This is the harvest of this dispatch.

Most of the gains were made by the Brahmins and Kshatriyas who occupied the town for the city of Vijaya and the "Bintonglong rebels", and the rest was part of the harvest from the suppression of the Bintonglong Song army.

After negotiating with the Khalivarman, Yanda also led the rest of the army into the city of Vijaya, and Lizhou began to retreat.

These people were reloaded onto ships and transported to the Central Plains. In fact, Wang Ju did not harm these people, staying on the island on the other side, most of them lived a primitive life, even if there were some rudiments of civilization in the coastal areas, they were not very advanced.

Therefore, the life expectancy of people is very short, if it can be calculated, on average, the average life expectancy will not exceed thirty years old, why is it so short, because many babies die before they live a few years, Wang Ju almost does not see the old man who is more than seventy years old.

If they arrive in the Central Plains and don't have trouble, if they meet a good master again, their lives can be several times better than those on the other island. And their descendants will gradually integrate into this developed civilization system. Of course, this race will also disappear like the Xianbei people did back then.

Whether it is good or bad, it depends on what angle it stands, at least it is stronger than the policy of US imperialism towards the Indians.

However, there were three groups of clever Jiaozhi people who sensed that something was wrong, and gathered hundreds of people to resist, and then they were quickly suppressed. It can only be said that these three groups set off three unpleasant episodes.

And time can't wait.

Nowadays, after the ship has been transformed one after another, there are many large sea ships that have become five-masted and nine-sail, so as to achieve eight winds (eight-sided wind, that is, ships in the era of sailing ships have many main sails and side sails, so they can use different wind directions by adjusting each main sail and side sail, so that the ship can keep sailing rapidly, Zheng He once reached nine masts and twelve sails when he went to the Western Ocean, so it may be that this kind of treasure ship has reached the maximum limit of the wooden ship structure, more than 2,000 tons, or even 3,000 tons, but it is impossible to tens of thousands of tons, that is a bit ridiculous).

This also made Wang Ju confused for a while, wasn't it a two-masted ship and a three-masted ship in ancient times, he was influenced by the Pirates of the Caribbean.

Therefore, under the impetus of Wang's great force, this ship technology has now almost reached the peak of the Yuan Dynasty, far ahead of the ship technology of the Northern Song Dynasty.

But no matter how many winds there are, it is impossible to push the ship sail against the wind.

Then when the wind was headwind, I had to put down the rocking oar, drop all the canvases, and dozens of people and hundreds of people shook the oars and continued to sail against the wind. But this distance is not to imagine how far we can sail.

In fact, some of the ships behind may have already begun to sail against the wind, but the people who were evacuated to Fujian Road, not the Yangtze River, are not a big problem, but the time must not be delayed.

The displaced people were evacuated, and the Champa people breathed a sigh of relief, although the Song army was already stationed in the city of Vijaya, but there was no misconduct. And once these displaced people come over, it will not be as simple as doing nonsense, but it will completely become a place of dead silence.

Then, under the call of Wang Ju and Hali Varman, the two countries formed a large army to crusade against the rebels of Bintonglong.

Wang Ju was not kind, he didn't let them unify, the Zhenla people came, and Zhancheng could only be captured.

But he underestimated Bin Tonglong's tenacity a little, but fortunately he has always been careful in his march, although it was a small area of rebellion, Wang Ju still dispatched thousands of cavalry, as well as a huge naval army, and finally Yan Da saw that something was not good, and directly put the army into the main battlefield, which put down the Bin Tonglong rebels. However, this time finally brought four or five thousand casualties to the Song Dynasty.

And there is very little harvest in the Bintonglong area.

The goods on both sides were gathered, and now there was no accurate monetary system, so they had to estimate the price.

The first type of goods was gold and silver, and there were even copper coins from the Song Dynasty, which everyone liked.

The second type of goods is the goods from the Song Dynasty, which cannot be brought back, and must be traded locally and exchanged for the products of the city.

The third type of goods is the goods of the Champ, such as ivory, rhino horn, ebony and other exotic objects, as well as some goods from other overseas countries that come to the Champa to trade, and these goods have to be brought back and retraded.

After successively exchanging the goods of the Song Dynasty for those of Champa or the South China Sea, Wang Ju asked his stewards to estimate and arrive at this amount.

He Bin said with some dissatisfaction: "That's it? ”

Wang Ju used his troops extravagantly, rewarded and paid generous benefits, and also promised to take out half of them as rewards and pensions, that is, this battle may not be able to keep military spending.

"These small countries are still too poor." Yanda said.

There is another way, that is, to plunder on a large scale, clean the whole city, and then clean the Bintonglong area, then it may harvest twenty or thirty million wealth, but doing so is obviously not in line with Wang Ju's purpose.

Wang Ju also smiled and was speechless.

It is no wonder that some people in later generations said that the Song Dynasty occupied sixty percent of the world's GDP, which seems to be not a lie. It is said that the city of Vijaya is rich, but that is not it. Think about how much wealth the Jin people got when they invaded Kaifeng City in history.

"It's better than nothing, everyone, don't think about it, let's get down to business." Wang Ju said.

Saying that, he walked out of this mansion with everyone, it was the mansion of a top nobleman in the city of Zhancheng, as for the palace, Wang Ju did not move in, and he had to give face to Khali Varman, otherwise he would not be able to rule the country in the future.

When the group came to the palace, the ministers in the palace had already assembled, and Khali Varman had a bitter face.

Wang Ju patted him on the shoulder and said, "Heli, don't worry. Before you occupied the city, there were also kings who went to China to meet the Son of Heaven and then returned. The reason why China has eliminated Jiaozhi is because you all know it. If it weren't for the Jiaozhi invasion of our Yongzhou massacre, how could China have sent troops south? Could it be that China will be interested in your small countries? ”

One of the ministers opened his mouth unconvinced after listening to Hualu's translation.

"Your name is Yelonghe, right?"

"Hmm."

"Do you think I'm talking big? Yes, Guo Kui went south, but he did not destroy Jiaozhi. This is not a mistake in employing people in my Great Song Dynasty, but the fact that three people with military talents all have heavy responsibilities. ”

Ye Long He chattered, and Hualu translated: "He asked Shaobao, are you one of them." ”

Wang Ju replied proudly: "I must be counted as one, but the weakest one among them. (To be continued......)
