I am Da Song

Chapter 552
Attacking the Three Qi Buddha Kingdom is a clear goal, but Yue Fei is a master strategist, so naturally he is not as simple as just attacking the Sanqi Buddha Kingdom.

He pointed the pole in his hand at the Angkor Dynasty, and said: "I am facing thousands of miles away from the South Seas. If I go alone, although it has mighty power, it will also make a small country feel lucky. Therefore, this battle should not be all-or-nothing, just go alone Conquering the Three Qi Buddhist Kingdoms. It should be based on showing all countries the smooth and rebellious trend."

Everyone looked at the Angkor Dynasty, and what Yue Fei said was actually very penetrating.

If it was just an expedition alone, the kings of some small countries would definitely think that if they hadn't gone too far, the king of the Song Dynasty might not have traveled thousands of miles to attack him.

But if the big and powerful countries in the entire region are looking forward to the wind and surrendering, and become the most steadfast fence of the Song Dynasty, then the remote and small countries have to seriously consider whether they are fighting against the master of the king, or the general trend of the world?If an order from the Son of Heaven is passed down, let the neighboring countries attack him, will they be able to block the intrusion from all directions.

This is obviously to build momentum, to form a general trend for Nanyang countries to support the Song Dynasty and crusade against the rebels together.

To give everyone the impression that those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will die if they don't die.

Zhao Huan looked at the Angkor dynasty on the map, and asked, "Your plan to enlist Hu Qi from the Angkor dynasty?"

Yue Fei nodded solemnly, and said: "The most convenient thing about fighting in Nanyang is that there are sufficient supplies in the later stage. A huge ship with a million supplies can supply tens of thousands of troops for several months. And the army can always be supported by warship artillery fire."

"As long as the logistics supplies are sufficient, there will be no worries on the flanks. Even the army of the vassal state can muster up the courage to block the wall and defeat the opponent."

Organizational ability is what wars are compared to. A well-organized army can defeat an unorganized army.

Having the Great Song Dynasty provide logistical support and flank cover for the vassal army, which is tantamount to pulling the organizational level of the vassal army to a level close to that of the Song Dynasty.

In this case, the larger the army of the vassal state, the stronger its combat power.

This is what famous generals call the more the better.

Now the remaining question is whether Suryavarman, the ruler of the Angkor Dynasty, is willing to send troops.

Zhao Huan looked at the Minister of Honghe Temple and asked, "I will mobilize the army of the Angkor Dynasty in the Nanyang War, can Honghe Temple be sure?"

Tang Yi, Minister of Honghe Temple, said confidently and calmly: "Suryavarman will never dare to refuse."

"Oh?" Zhao Huan asked with a smile, "Qing is so confident?"

Tang Yi nodded and said, "The situation in the Angkor dynasty is different from that in the Central Plains. There is no city wall in their capital, and the urban area intersects with the surrounding countryside without a clear boundary."

"As far as I know, there are more than 50 people in the country's capital, and food supply is a huge burden. As long as the Central Plains army slightly threatens its food supply, its country will be in jeopardy."

Yue Fei recognized this very much, and said: "The first thing the kings of the vassal states must guarantee is their own throne and prosperity. They don't need to care about the Central Plains caravans occupying their territories and cities, and they don't need to care about the lease of commercial ports. threatened situation."

"The same is true for this attack on the Sanqi Buddha Kingdom. The imperial court sent troops from multiple directions, but instead of fighting a war to destroy the country, it went straight to the country. It forced the king to sign a treaty and offer land as a tribute."

Zhang Jun concluded: "This battle does not harm the interests of the Angkor dynasty. It is impossible for the king to refuse the recruitment of the Celestial Dynasty in terms of both advantages and disadvantages."

"That's true." Yue Fei moved the long stick in his hand downwards on the map, and said, "The army of the Angkor Dynasty will send troops first, and the soldiers will march from the land to Manjaka, attracting the main forces of the Sanqi Dynasty to attack."

"When the main force of the Sanqi dynasty crosses the strait from Sumatra and enters the northern Managa, the Wangshi navy will defeat its main naval force in the strait and trap the main force of the Sanqi Buddhist kingdom on the north bank of the strait. Then the main force of the Wangshi land battle will directly land on Juju, the capital of the Sanqi Buddhist kingdom, by boat. port."

The main force of the navy was defeated, the main force of the army was trapped and died on the other side of the ocean, and the capital was still under siege.

In this case, it was even worse than the Qing Dynasty in the Opium War.

During the Opium War, the British army only cut off the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the nobles and nobles in Beijing couldn't stand it anymore.

They are all feudal rulers, and those of the Sanqi Buddha Kingdom will not be much tougher than the Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, the state religion of the Sanqi Buddhist Kingdom is Mahayana Buddhism, and the entire country is very Buddhist, advocating lying down.

Zhao Huan even doubted whether they could resist to the last step, and the capital of the country was besieged.

It is more likely that if the main force of the navy or army is defeated, they will decisively surrender.

Zhao Huan is very concerned about the war in Nanyang. After all, in the history of the Central Plains, there are not many cases of attacking Nanyang.

Only the Yuan and Ming dynasties sent fleets to the south on a large scale, but there were basically no records of battles, because any situation in which the Central Plains can travel thousands of miles is a crushing situation.

Zhao Huan asked Yue Fei, "Who is the Privy Council planning to send south?"

Yue Fei said: "This battle is related to our prestige in Nanyang, and we must strive to show our power without any ups and downs. Therefore, the Privy Council intends to appoint the most capable generals in our court."

Who was the most talented general in the Song Dynasty?

No.1 will naturally be Yue Fei, the privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty.

The No.2 general, Zhao Huan immediately thought of the fierce general with a godly record.

Obviously, regarding this general, the imperial court has a consensus.

Yue Fei said: "The Privy Council intends to ask Minister Han to temporarily hand over the defense of northern Xinjiang to other people, and command a total of more than [-] troops from the navy and army to go south."

It really was Han Shizhong!

Zhao Huan smiled. This Jiedu envoy of the two towns was known for his loyalty and bravery. Since he joined the army, he has achieved various godly achievements.

Moreover, his military journey can be said to spread all over the territory of the Song Dynasty, from Xixia to the southeast, and from the southeast to Mobei.

Now it is going to be transferred from Mobei to Nanyang.

Ordinary people may not be able to adapt to crossing such a vast territory.

But Zhao Huan believes that these are by no means a problem for Han Shizhong.

He himself was familiar with warships and water battles in the southeast battlefield.

He was the most famous in history in the battle of De Huang Tiandang, and he commanded the naval fleet.

Although he may not be familiar with the empire's navy now, as the chief general of the Southern Expedition, he only needs to be assigned an admiral as a deputy general.

He is mainly for strategic planning and formation of troops.At the same time, he commanded the army to land, defeated the army of King Qin of the Sanqi Buddha Kingdom, and besieged Palembang, the capital of the Sanqi Buddha Kingdom.

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "I have great confidence in the ability of Minister Han. I have entrusted him with full authority for the southern expedition. The Privy Council will cooperate and prepare logistics supplies. I believe that Minister Han will be able to quickly Good news."

The Privy Council dared to remove Han Shizhong from the defense area against Mongolia, which shows that the Mongols are really out of control now.
