Zhao Ji asked again with an edict.

Wang Ju replied, building the Great Wall is also helpless, the five southern states are newly attached, the people's hearts are unstable, and Jiaozhi has been dishonest, and secretly sent many scouts to infiltrate the five states to induce them to rebel, so that the imperial court can not rule here.

The five states are unstable, how to continue the next step, so on the opportunity of a big victory, the people were arrested to build a simple city wall, first the people of the five states were brought to their hearts, and in addition, they had to train the army and spy on Jiaozhi intelligence, so it was not time to use the troops. About next year, you can use soldiers, but not next year, and the year after tomorrow, you will be able to recover Jiaozhi for Your Majesty.

Wang Ju's voice outside the words I have only been in Guangnan for less than 14 months, didn't I say that it is good to be three to four years, three years is still early, don't say four years, the emperor, you don't have to worry.

A very short and concise reply, and one that is also understated.

Then send someone to send it to the capital.

Huang Hua said: "Shaobao, if His Majesty knows Shaobao's plan, he will be overjoyed. ”

"Maybe, but others may not agree," Wang Ju said.

Huang Hua was silent, the Song Dynasty was not like the Tang Dynasty, and he was not interested in expanding his territory, if it wasn't for the fact that he had done too much this time, I am afraid that he might not have agreed to Wang Ju's use of troops in the south.

The Jiaozhi people sent the captive people, a total of more than 20,000 people, this time it was a little like a little, there were men and women, mainly Ding Zhuang, but Tao Bi pointed to the crowd and said: "The deception is too much!" ”

There were many women in the crowd, some with babies in their arms, some just born, and some with big bellies. Needless to say, we all know what it's all about. This was brought here, and I'm afraid that there are still children who didn't agree to let them bring it. Or they and the woman themselves were detained and they were not allowed to come back.

Wang Ju patted Tao Bi's back with his hand. Lao Tao has been working in the south for a long time. My health is very poor, and I am getting old, so I can't get sick.

Tao Bi took a breath and asked, "Shaobao, what do you think about it?" ”

Ignore Tao Zongyuan.

It doesn't matter if the child is on the other side, or if he loses his chastity, the main thing is that these hundreds of women who have just given birth to a child or a pregnant woman who came with a big belly, if they bring it back, their family will be in chaos.

"Tao Gong. The number of people is not very large, send officials to their house to appease them, and give them some money. Wang Ju said, as for the rest, what can Wang Ju do?

Wang Ju summoned Tao Zongyuan with his hand again, and said: "There are more than a few people, this official has sent someone to verify it, and it is possible that 150,000 people have been abducted by you, and these people have been handed over truthfully. ”

Wang Juzhen sent people to check, but many of them were barbarian tribes. Even for the Han Chinese, the Song Dynasty was calculated in households. It is not calculated in terms of mouth, and some of them are hidden households, so it is impossible to find out an accurate number.

It can only be repeatedly verified that before and after the invasion of Jiaozhi and after the withdrawal of troops in the three states, the number of people decreased by about 200,000 to about 230,000. The less will not be less than 200,000, and the more will not be more than 230,000.

But even the Jiaozhi people don't know how many people they killed and how many people they took captive.

Wang Ju asked people to dig up the corpses again, and there were nearly 90,000 corpses dug up before and after, some of which may be the corpses of the Jiaozhi people who were killed by the Song people's counterattack, but there are still many corpses that have not been found, and the time has passed, so it is impossible to verify the number of people killed through the corpses.

Wang Ju reported these situations to the capital.

Otherwise, after a long time, there will be ministers in the court who say that peace is precious.

Tao Zongyuan said: "Shaobao, you touched your conscience and said, will there be so many people?" ”

The people who were kidnapped were not 150,000 giants, but they could be ripped off, but Wang Ju didn't want to bother anymore, and this matter had to end as soon as possible, so he said: "Can you guarantee that you don't have our people in the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

"Shaobao, it is to kidnap some people, but some people are in Sumaozhou and other places, Shaobao can send people to rescue them, and some people are indeed dead. Others were taken to remote places and were difficult to recover. ”

"Don't say anything, so I will give you as many people as you give back."

"Shaobao, don't you ......?"

"What, is it true that our Great Song is afraid that you will not be able to invade again? By the way, Qinzhou Port is empty, and you can invade again by sea. ”

"No, Shaobao, you are reasonable."

"Our Great Song Dynasty is reasoning with you, you will talk about fists, we are talking about fists with you now, and you are reasoning again, but I don't know what kind of truth this is?"

"Less than ......"

"Needless to say, I don't care what means you use to make your toes, the people who have been taken away must be found out one by one and returned to us, and those parts that you bought with illegal means in the past must also be handed over, otherwise this matter will not be over!"

And Wang Ju did the same.

The Great Wall west of Langzhou has been repaired, and Guo Kui chose to go south from here because the water network here is relatively sparse, so the difficulty of the project has decreased. Wang Ju counted the captured people of Jiaozhi from here, counted more than 40,000 people, the same number as the number of people repaid by Jiaozhi, and handed them over to Jiaozhi, and the rest of the people were escorted to the east side to continue to build the Great Wall. But Wang Ju is still very benevolent and righteous, not like Jiaozhi, the people of each household have long been disrupted, Wang Ju is handed back to Jiaozhi on a household basis.

They were all moved to the east, and some of the troops were freed up.

Wang Ju began to do it internally.

Jiaozhi invaded, and the five southern states all sent troops, and some reformed themselves, such as Langzhou Jinman, who surrendered to the Song Dynasty with most of the tribes.

If the Song Dynasty did not act, the end of Huang Jinman would be very miserable, but when Wang Ju came, Huang Jinman's fate was changed, and even the tribes of Langzhou also made some oil and water when Wang Ju plundered. After the officers and soldiers plundered, most of the remaining village property was handed over to the people of all ethnic groups in Langzhou for further looting. Wang Ju ordered the five states to further search the people of the Song Dynasty, whether they were captured by you, bought, or assigned to you by Jiaozhi, as long as they were handed over, they would not be asked.

Huang Jinman took the lead in asking the tribes to search further, and it can be said that almost all of them were handed over. Although Silang Prefecture participated, it was because of its remoteness. Not much involved. Therefore there were not many people captive. There may still be some tribes in Guangyuan Prefecture and Menzhou who still haven't handed over all the people, and Sumao Prefecture hasn't handed over even more.

However, Wang Ju forced him and forced out thousands of people.

But at that time, the troops were insufficient, so Wang Ju never sent a large army to deter.

Start now.

The first to attack was Su Maozhou, and Yao Lin personally led the troops to sweep the villages one by one and rescue the people of the Song Dynasty. Then they were deported outside the Great Wall.

And that's just the first step......

"That's about it, General Yan can't be ruthless, otherwise that old cotton island can be swept away," Huang Liang said.

"Now that the population is small, it doesn't work to have such a large territory, and General Yan is the executor, he is a good general, not an executioner."

"I estimate that there are hundreds of thousands of people on the island, not even less than half a million."

"It doesn't matter, it's that big, after all. And the terrain is complicated, even if General Yan pushes it. It's impossible for Brother Dongliang to bring everyone together. But after General Yan's sweep, the big tribes were scattered together, even if there were still many natives, it would not be harmful, so I would write a letter to Ge Shaohua and ask him to arrange manpower to move as many people as possible to wherever possible. Brother Heng, is Dongliang okay over there? ”

"Fortunately, more than 400 people were sacrificed."

The whole plan was actually not complicated, Yan Da led the army to push and suppress, and Lu He took more than a dozen veterans deliberately recruited by Wang Ju, as well as four thousand soldiers recruited by overseas immigrants, to the island.

This is the advantage of having a large number of people, if Wang Ju is willing, he can now raise thirty or forty thousand soldiers overseas, of course, there is no need for that, but there are also many soldiers, not only for this plan, but also for each settlement to recruit some soldiers to be stationed in order to protect.

Yan Da was pressing, Lu He brought thousands of his men to the rescue, and at the beginning they saved women, children, old and young, and they would inevitably serve him as the master, and Lu He made the identity of this group "whitewashed". This team is getting bigger and bigger, and Lu Herang heroically led his men to attack an arsenal warehouse in Yanda, and obtained a large amount of armor and weapons. So 4,000 soldiers began to equip themselves with the light.

However, as this snowball got bigger and bigger, there were some natives who were more intelligent and questioned Lu Herang's line. There are many suspicions, including a slightly different appearance. There are also those who want rights. Lü Herang once again heroically led his men to attack a port of the Song army, capturing numerous ships and food.

There was no more questioning.

But they were not yet the opponents of the Song army, so they were defeated and retreated.

As the leader, he must lead everyone to have a way out, and Lu He asked these people to load these people on some medium and large islands in the southeast by boat.

This is not a small number of people, but hundreds of thousands, or even nearly a million people.

Although there were some medium-sized and large islands to the southeast, as soon as these people went up, the food would be swept away, so the islands had to be swept away like locusts. But there will be battles, and real battles, and sacrifices will come in these battles. But there is one thing, after such a sweeping sweep, in the end, many tribes of the various islands were also forced to join this sweeping army, so the number of people rolled more and more. It is this huge number of people that can be used to carry out the pirate plan of the Beibu Gulf that Wang Ju said.

And in this way, if you want to occupy that series of islands in the future, the difficulty will be reduced.

Although it is very backward, there is still a lot of production, and there is also a military budget.

As for some islands in the southwest, they were not half of the plan, and they sent people to set up settlements very early. However, there is a relatively large island in the southeast, not the old cotton island, but the island of Mindanao. Because it is too big, no matter how many people Lu He brings up, it is impossible to produce the result of sweeping, but it can't be brought up, otherwise it will become a hidden danger when the people here become densely populated in the future. After all, in Wang Ju's planning, there are some powerful countries on the west side of the route, and there is no need to provoke them, but Wang Ju wants to occupy all the islands on the east side.

However, when Wang Ju confessed to Yan Da, Yan Da couldn't bear it and made a few requests to Wang Ju.

Including the people who were last year, they should be treated as kind as possible, and they will be resettled as much as possible in the future, and the 1890,000 people brought back by Huang Liang this time will first let them build bridges and pave roads on Guangnan West Road and build water conservancy, and then resettle them in various places. In order to give more people a way out.

Wang Judu agreed.

Therefore, in the past few years, I have been desperately building ships, just for this year.

However, this year, the speed of shipbuilding has slowed down, and ships will be built, but the tonnage will become larger, the technology will be more advanced, and some backward ships will be eliminated in order to improve the safety of navigation.

Huang Liang quickly returned to Qiongzhou Island with Wang Ju's warrant, and with the cooperation of local officials, he first relocated the people around the port and let them stay elsewhere for a year to a year and a half, but gave them a lot of money.

Then gathered Ding Zhuang on the ship, and began to build the Great Wall in a radius of dozens of miles, but this length is only a dozen miles, and the amount of work is not too large. And the pier was renovated again. It will be important here in a little more than a month.

When the construction was almost complete, Huang Liang began to use small and medium-sized sea boats to transport these people, including grain, to the port of Qinzhou, which then dispersed them everywhere.

It's just that although Wang Ju was kind to these people and gave them a way to live, there were too many women, children, and children in them. And when they arrived at their destination, many of these women, children, old and young, saw that the guards were loose, and began to run away.

In fact, Wang Ju asked Lu He to deliberately leave these people behind, and then asked Huang Liang to force them to get on the boat and take them inland, which was to give them a way out.

But this run, in this vast mountainous area, can there still be a way to live?

There are people who are smart, hungry for a few days, and come back.

Some fled and never returned.

In fact, after some time of such loose guarding, there was no one to watch over them. If you want to run, run away, and don't come back if you have a kind.

For these situations, although Wang Ju is a decision-maker, he is also pretending to be an ostrich, so he should not know.

At the beginning of June, another group of people arrived in Cochin, this time with only 10,000 people.

Wang Ju also returned 10,000 people.

Tao Zongyuan said with a bitter face: "Shaobao, there is nothing we can do, and we really admit our mistakes." ”

"I won't believe anything I admit wrong, so that the rest of the people, your country will take out ten yuan to redeem it."

Tao Zongyuan had no choice but to go back quickly, and soon the Great Wall was about to close. Once it is closed, so many people will never be able to get it back.

Cochin had no choice but to agree.

In fact, there are not much, only the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of goods, just to break through a Yongzhou, I don't know how much money and goods were taken away by Jiaozhi, and there are also Qinzhou and Lianzhou, especially Qinzhou Port, many rich businessmen were slaughtered, and the amazing wealth they accumulated was also plundered by Jiaozhi.

In short, it seems that Wang Ju is still relatively "reasonable".

Tao Zongyuan counted the number of people, and suddenly asked, "Shaobao, what about some soldiers?" ”

"They're dead, and there's nothing I can do," Wang Ju said, imitating his words.

The old, sick and disabled soldiers were kept for them, and there were 6,000 strong Jiaozhi soldiers, who were sent by Wang Ju to Temo Road where to build roads very early, and Wang Ju attached great importance to business, and since last year, he sent some caravans to Dali to trade, but Temo Road was very backward and the road was rugged. Therefore, Wang Ju asked 1,000 soldiers to hold these 6,000 prisoners of war to expand the two trade routes from Yongzhou Hengshanzhai to Temo Road and Dali, and Yizhou to Ziqi and Dali.

And deliberately sent envoys to explain to the local heroes, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings among them.

These people, Jiaozhi is not trying to get one back.

And Yan Da also led tens of thousands of troops back, which made the Jiaozhi people even more afraid, Wang Ju didn't give it, and Tao Zongyuan had to go back.

The Great Wall is closed.

Wang Ju began the next plan. (To be continued......)
