I am Da Song

Chapter 375
Zhao Huan's idea has always been to expand the interests of everyone through development and making the pie bigger.

I am very disgusted with a group of people who beat their lives to death in order to cut an extra piece of the original small cake.

Not to mention narrow and cramped, it may overturn the whole cake, Shenzhou Lu Chen.

Expanding outward, the wealth these people earn from the spices, silk, sugar, and tea transported by a single boat may be equivalent to the wealth they have spent inwardly for more than ten years.

As the Prime Minister, Zhang Shuye certainly did not object to the use of troops, and immediately asked with concern: "Where do the officials plan to start using troops?"

Zhao Huan said decisively: "Jinghai Jiedu Envoy, Observation and Disposal Envoy, Annan Protector, Jiaozhi County King Li Yanghuan!"

As soon as the name came out, the two prime ministers immediately knew what the official Jianfeng was referring to, which was to restore the old place of Jiaozhi.

In fact, the top leaders of the Song Dynasty have not given up their claims on Jiaozhi.

You can also know from the name that Da Song did not recognize Vietnam as an official country.He was only recognized as a Jiedu envoy and granted the title of king of the county.

Since the Tang Dynasty, since the Tang Dynasty, there have not been too many Jiedushi in various towns.

From Li Maozhen's Fengxiang Jiedushi and Qi Wang, to Yang Xingmi's Wu Wang and Huainan Jiedushi, every official position is higher than Li Yanghuan.

Even Tong Guan, the great eunuch, had the official positions of Jiedu Envoy of Wukang Army, Xihe Lanhuang, Qinfenglu Jinglue Appeasement Envoy, and Guangyang County King.

In history, Han Shizhong was the envoy of the three towns of Zhennan, Wu'an, and Ningguo, and he was named the king of Xian'an County.

So if you switch to the perspective of the emperor of the Song Dynasty, Li Yanghuan's identity in Jiaozhi is no different from these Jiedu envoys, they are all vassals directly under the Song Dynasty.

It's just that Li Yanghuan, like the Jiedushi after the mid-Tang Dynasty, supported his troops and became a feudal town.

Now that the imperial court is strong and powerful, it is natural to pacify the feudal town, and there is no need to find more excuses.

Therefore, Jiaozhi does not have any official country name, because the emperor's surname is Li, and this regime is called Li Dynasty.

The current ruler Li Yanghuan ascended the throne in the second year of Jingkang, when the Song Dynasty was in turmoil.

After that, Zhao Huan unified the country, the Central Plains flourished, and the army was fierce. Li Yanghuan even paid tribute every year, showing humility and obedience.

It wasn't that he was close to Da Song, but that he personally felt the gulf-like gap between him and the Kingdom of Heaven.

He was able to rise to the position, but also benefited from Da Song's help.

Because he is not the son of the previous emperor Li Gande, but Li Gande's nephew.

During Li Gande's reign, it was in the period when Song Xining opened the border.Therefore, Li Gande took advantage of the strong and weak branches of the Central Plains and the policy of guarding the internal and external, and launched an offensive on Guangnan West Road, burning, killing and looting all the way.

As a result, the Song court was furious, and dispatched more than [-] elite imperial troops to the south, fighting fiercely all the way, beheading the prince Hongzhen of his country.

As a result, the king of the Li Dynasty died out and had to choose Li Yanghuan from his nephews to succeed him.

Even the previously weak Song Army could defeat Li's army, not to mention the Song Army whose military virtues flourished to the extreme after Zhao Huan succeeded to the throne.

Li Yanghuan had to bow his knees and pay tribute year after year.

However, the later Midi has a famous saying: "Being behind does not necessarily mean you will be beaten, it is just because I don't want to beat you today!"

The Song Dynasty is now prosperous and prosperous, so it is natural to eliminate all the Jiedu envoys and towns in the territory one by one.

The Prime Minister Zhang Shuye said: "If the miasma in Jiaozhou is attacked directly, there will be a lot of casualties. I think it is better to mobilize elites to take the official road from Guangnan West Road and crush them all the way."

The Prime Minister's idea is very rough, Jiaozhou is full of miasma, but not every road has miasma.

The miasma has been cleared away on the developed roads and around the civilized cities.

As long as the Song army gathers an army of [-], sends troops from Guangnan West Road, crushes them all the way, attacks cities when they meet them, and pulls out villages when they meet them, they can minimize casualties.

The Privy Council believes that the Song Army has this kind of combat power now.

Even if the Li family learned Goguryeo's method of resisting the Sui Dynasty and gathered 10,000+ troops to guard the military town in the strategic location, the Song army could blast the city with muskets and artillery and crush the enemy.

However, Zhao Huan waved his hand calmly and said, "The Prime Minister should change his mind. The imperial army is powerful, and with a smaller scale, it can achieve greater achievements in the past."

"It's a waste of money to waste the combat power on the front and slowly advance."

Zhang Shuye was slightly taken aback. This was the first time since he served as the Privy Council envoy that an official had vetoed the proposal of the Privy Council and personally intervened in the military command.

So Zhang Shuye had to ask solemnly: "I don't know what the official plan is?"

Zhao Huan was able to talk eloquently without looking at the map, saying: "Jiaozhi is long and narrow, and the east and west are extremely narrow. If you send troops from Guangnan West Road, you will have to cross nearly a thousand miles to enter the Shenglong City where the Li family ruled. But if you send troops from Qiongzhou, The warship goes upstream, and the soldiers don't need to take an extra step, and they can land directly under the city of Shenglong in a day or two, and attack the city directly."

"Prince Master, you have to adapt to the next era. The Song army will use strong ships and cannons to open the gates of all enemy countries!"

"In this battle, the warships of the Song Dynasty will cut off the water transportation of Shenglong City, and block the elite of the Li family to the north of the river. The elite field army will directly attack the weak city defense of the Li family. Why should we send troops from Guangnan?"

Zhang Shuye's expression was shocked, and he said: "I think that if the king's master can descend from the sky under Shenglong City, [-] king's masters will be able to defeat the enemy and punish the people!"

Zhao Huan nodded. The Li family also respected Confucianism and emphasized Buddhism, and had exactly the same disadvantages as the Central Plains.

That is, the forbidden army in the royal capital will be corrupted to the point of being vulnerable.

The magical soldiers of the Song army descended from the sky and attacked the city, which would crush this rotten imperial army system with one foot.

The main task of the 2-strong Song army was not to attack the city, but to line up on the plain after the attack, waiting for work with ease, and calmly defeated the main force of the Li family's frontier army who had hurried back to the north for help.

Completely defeat the resistance forces in Cochin.

Then bring Jiaozhi into the rule, waiting for follow-up wealthy businessmen to carry out economic construction.

This deployment has been perfected from marching, to combat, to later construction and governance.

But there is an extremely critical issue that has not been resolved. Zhang Shuye asked: "Where should this battleship be mobilized from?"

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "You don't need to worry, the important affairs of the soldiers and the country cannot be decided in ten months. The reason why I want to go south is to build a shipyard in Suzhou."

"Suzhou has always been the shipbuilding center of our dynasty. As long as the country puts its focus and invests a lot of wealth, it will soon be able to build top-level warships."

"Qing can bring the Privy Council, Imperial Military Institute and Taixue to participate, move the artillery to the ship, and train and cultivate a new type of navy."

"Depending on the training situation, decide whether to go out in one year or two years, and calm down Jiaozhi."

One or two years of training time is short, but Zhao Huan thinks it is enough.

Because no navy in the world can launch artillery battles with them at sea!

As long as the Song Army can skillfully operate naval guns, the Song Dynasty Navy will be the invincible fleet of the world!
