Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 721 Overall Conception of the South China Sea
"It's commendable to do business for the imperial court, but the bottom line is to serve the people of the world. Remember, don't forget." Wang Xiu said high-sounding, but looking back, although the ultimate goal is to serve the people of the world, but the means to realize the ideal , How many of them are really caring for the people of the world, it is so ridiculous to be for the people of the world, but this must be said after all.

"Xie Shanchang taught, and the students will remember it in their hearts." Shi Yong was not a kind person, but facing Wang Xiu, he still felt the pressure not to go beyond.

Wang Xiu calmed down, forced a smile and said: "No one can do anything wrong without being a sage. You are nothing more than a bum after all. This is not too much."

As soon as these words came out, not only Shi Yong was stunned, but even Zong Liang and Feng Yuan were also extremely surprised.Shi Yong was already sweating down his spine.

"Hebei is full of floating clouds. It will be taken down sooner or later. In addition to solving the Northwest issue, the imperial court is also very important to colonize the South China Sea. I don't know what happened to the Bowang Army!"

Zong Liang, Feng Yuan, and Shi Yong knew that Wang Xiu was worried about Gao Kan. This guy knew from the county Ren Xuguan Pavilion Road Tong Judgment Laizhou. The journey was smooth and smooth without any waves. out.

At that time, the government and the public were in an uproar, some secretly regretted, some laughed at his stupidity, and some even laughed at him for gaining fame, but Zhu Lian praised him for his righteous deeds. , can be regarded as a party member.

"It's far away, let's wait until the news arrives. Zimu, today's industry and commerce are developing day by day, and copper coins are becoming increasingly difficult to support. Jiaozi is limited to one person. How to solve the problem?"

Zong Liang's heart moved, as the person closest to Wang Xiu, he knew very well that the economy was Wang Xiu's top concern, and he couldn't even sleep at night because of it.

Shi Yong didn't seem to be surprised, and said casually: "The gold standard currency system replaces copper and iron. Gold is hard to come by. We should establish a currency warehouse with silver as the main and gold as the supplement, and issue Huangsong banknotes."

Wang Xiu was very satisfied with Shi Yong's point of view, and said with a smile: "That's right, but the gold and silver of the country is really limited, and it's not enough to support the nationwide coin reform."

"What you said is true, but a lot of gold and silver flow in from overseas every year." When Shi Yong spoke, he lacked courage.

Wang Xiu glanced at Shi Yong, laughed loudly and said, "So what, bartering is really too slow."

"What do you mean, Mister?" Shi Yong rolled his eyes, as if he had thought of something but was not sure.

"Three Buddhas can control the east-west traffic arteries, and it is a small wild country with no future. It is rich in gold and silver, and there are many other good things. Well, if you go directly south from Yazhou, there are indeed some storms. If you can win Cochin and Zhancheng, there will be a smooth road there!"

What a big ambition!Whether it is Zongliang or Fengyuan, they learned geography from Wang Xiu. Jiaozhi is a very difficult opponent. It surrendered to the Central Plains Dynasty but wandered outside. The Li family of Jiaozhi once captured Yongzhou and killed more than [-] people. The mountains around Jiaozhi are crisscrossed , deep forest densely covered, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It is not that the Song Dynasty has never conquered, but the army has been repeatedly defeated in the hinterland, and it is about to succeed. However, the northern soldiers are plagued by plague. It can be said that they are dead. Only one or two died in battle. The rest were all killed by diseases. Do not accept peace.

Seeing that they were in a daze, Wang Xiu couldn't help laughing and said, "The imperial court must control the waterway passages."

"Sir, the terrain of Jiaozhi is complicated, and I'm afraid the court will not be able to take care of it." Feng Yuan didn't quite agree with Wang Xiu's point of view. The stalls in the Xing Dynasty were too big, so there was no energy to expand the land route. The dynasties of the past dynasties only made Jiaozhi submit, but never completely conquer.

"Implementing the Ding Yin Law, the population of Guangnan will increase within 20 years. Besides, the main goal in the South China Sea is Sanfoqi."

Wang Xiu said very positively.He has a big idea in his mind. The conquest plan of the countries in the South China Sea is definitely what he believes is necessary. Whether it is conquest or Huairou, he insists on one principle, that is, colonization regardless of consequences.

Because, even if the local tribes are conquered, they cannot form a long-term rule. The resistance of the natives will definitely be long-lasting, and in the end they can only be vassals beyond their reach.

Only when civil and military are combined, with a book in one hand and a knife in the other, can the colonial policy continue to expand the territory, increase the population of the same ethnic group, form a stable rule, strengthen the sense of national identity, and eventually assimilate the barbarians, or reduce them to a supporting role of ethnic minorities.

Even if a large number of people have to be lost due to acclimatization, or injuries, there will always be someone who will adapt, and the death rate of the guards and sailors is also high. As long as those who can survive can make the residents on the mainland gradually adapt to the island germs, as long as Persevere and there will be a successful day.

Of course, he secretly ordered the senior generals of the guards and navy not to be relentless in the event of a battle. Taking advantage of the small population of the countries in the South China Sea, kill as many as possible, reduce the opponent's population as much as possible or even exterminate the genocide.

Don’t think that Wang Xiu’s cruelty, colonial wars are ruthless, natural selection is the cycle of life and death, and the most effective way to conquer a population is to exterminate it.

Conflicts accumulate day by day, and the ruling group sometimes becomes corrupt. In a society where the minority rule the majority, sooner or later there will be chaos. What is lacking is an opportunity.

The Great Song Xing Dynasty could sweep the South China Sea by virtue of its growing national strength and its well-armed army, but so what?Even if you stabilize your rule and people are honest, what will happen after decades, hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years?Definitely rise up.

In order to reduce the hardships of traveling at sea, he gradually set his sights on Cochin and Champa, and wanted to take over the long and narrow area. Sea ships can go south along the coast, and even directly occupy and establish ports.

In his plan, even if it is impossible to win Cochin and Champa, he must establish a few stable strongholds in the long and narrow land, and occupy large coastal islands to build naval camps.

It's just that I haven't thought about it yet, and it's not on the agenda for a while, but I just said it privately to see the reactions of Zongliang, Feng Yuan and Shi Yong.

"Three Buddhas claim to be a powerful country, but that is just Yelang's arrogance. It is so difficult to destroy it, but it is too difficult to rule by immigrants." Shi Yong pointed out the difficulty.

"No matter how difficult it is, we will succeed, as long as we persevere. However, the high-quality silver mines are all in Fusang. If it can be used by me, Da Song will definitely be able to change the currency." Wang Xiu's tone was very firm, and there was no doubt about it.

Sanfoqi is the first step of the South China Sea strategy, and it can also be said to be the core. It is related to removing the bottleneck of domestic economic development, and he will never allow anyone to destroy it.

The light in Shi Yong's eyes became more and more urgent, and even Zong Liang's eyes flickered, as if imaginary.
