Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 722 Bowang Army

It has to be said that scholars regard going abroad as a fearful journey, even more dangerous than Lingnan. Few people are willing to go overseas, and the army and civilians in the interior are not like that. As long as there is enough food and clothing, no one wants to leave their hometown. Tian He has been exempted from all taxes for many years to take risks.

The Xing Dynasty of the Song Dynasty issued the latest regulations. Anyone who is willing to settle in the South China Sea will be given ten guan per mouth for relocation according to the population, and one hundred acres of Yongye farmland. They will be exempted from taxes for three years. charge any fees.

This is also a big deal, attracting many dilapidated households to migrate. After all, the government will support you for three years, and you will be given money to arrange your life.

However, Gao Kan was very worried about the status quo of the Bowang Army. The military city, which was in the development stage, could not completely fight against Sanfoqi. The Three Buddhas will be harassed several times.

As a regional power, Sanfoqi is naturally jealous of the huge profits of the Great Song Merchant Fleet, coupled with the continuous strength of the Bowang Army, it makes them feel like a thorn in their throats.The most important thing is that the secret of the gold mine discovered in the Bowang Army area was exposed, which led to the peeping of Sanfo Qi.

Several times of tentative attacks, hoping to take down Yunjian City, the city ruled by the Bowang Army in the name of pirates, and rob huge amounts of wealth. Failed.

Unwilling to fail, Sanfoqi secretly mobilized troops from various tribes, preparing to attack the isolated strongholds of the Song Dynasty, but they did not dare to do everything, so they could only ask for an equal share of the maritime trade in the name of the local tribes. dividend.

A joke, a big piece of fat, which can be given to others. Gao Kan took over this mess just after he took office. He conducted a five-day investigation of the Bowang Army, and immediately rejected it with righteous words, and refuted it with the original lease terms. Tribal envoy.

Seeing that the opponent's tens of thousands of troops are gathering, they are eyeing the Bowang army, and there have been several small-scale battles. The situation is becoming more and more tense, and the sea fleet of Song Dynasty has not arrived yet, which really makes him a little uneasy.

He is not a reckless person. Rejecting those people means starting a war. The prospect of a mere isolated city against Srivijaya is not so optimistic.He spent five days on-the-spot inspection and determined that with the strength of the Bowang army and the support of the Zhanhai fleet at sea, as long as they don't fight recklessly, they can last for a few months.

Calculating the rumors, the reinforcements should be able to arrive. Before he took office, he knew that the imperial court would send a naval fleet to escort the immigrants. The strength of the entire marine fleet, when he was bargaining with Li Changsheng on Salmon Island, was very important to the generals. The Song Guards Navy and Navy Ship Team had a deep understanding, so they made a tough stance.

"My lord, Assassin Tiger City repelled their harassment and beheaded level 56." Pan Xi, deputy commander of the Bowang army, came to Gao Kan, his dark face was full of vicissitudes left by the sea breeze.

"Not bad, how about the casualties?" Gao Kan smiled softly. The guarded city in front of the Tiger City is not too big. There are more than 56 officials stationed there, and it is not easy to kill [-] people.

"Two people were killed in the battle, and six people were injured." Pan Xi, as the general in charge of the Bowang Army, has been designated as the commander of the first army. , Sanfoqi and the gang of barbarians are mobilizing frequently, and it seems that they are about to take action."

Gao Kan was startled, and said in astonishment: "So fast?"

"The barbarians in the South China Sea, Eryu Xiaobang, know what strategy is, only know how to fight blindly." Pan Xi said disdainfully, the three Buddhas marched together by land and water, but under the strict formation of the Bowang Army, they never gained the upper hand.

Don't look at the lack of soldiers in the Bowang Army. Those who can survive are all veterans. They may not be as powerful as the Sixth Army in front of the palace, but what they are best at is that they can protect themselves well and use all resources as much as possible to win the battle. victory.

Ge Shoujie walked over and said with a smile: "It seems that the governor has won the battle again." He is the commander of the capital of the Bowang Army's bodyguards and water troops, it should be said that he is the commander of the capital of the bodyguards and water troops stationed in the Bowang Army's water village. Zhai is slightly inferior, almost equivalent to the control of the clan.

"It's just a small victory, without you bro, you're going to be luxurious." Pan Xi curled his lips, as if he was a little unwilling, but there was nothing he could do about it. People's ships are like cattle, and the scene where thousands of arrows are fired and cannon stones are fired at the same time makes people envious what!

"Hehe, I'm exaggerating." Ge Shoujie supported the size of his beard, with a rather contented expression on his face.

Gao Kan inadvertently frowned, and secretly scolded these two guys who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and they were complacent after winning a few battles, thinking that I was number one in the world.

Just imagine, the Bowang army is surrounded by Sanfoqi, and the geographical environment is very bad. It is almost impossible to have effective support. Everything depends on itself. The dozens of large and small warships stationed in the navy cannot last for too long.

But then again, the Bowang Army relied on the navy for defense. If it wasn't for the support of Ge Shoujie's more than a dozen main warships, and even the escort cruisers in the middle section were transferred back, I'm afraid he would have to abandon the city and board the ship.

"You two, we are facing tens of thousands of barbarian warriors. They only know how to fight blindly, and they must not underestimate the enemy!" Gao Kan felt that it was necessary to remind them that once they broke their faces and fought, it would be a difficult land battle. , rather than a relatively easy naval battle.

Judging from the [-] Han troops and several thousand native soldiers of the Bowang Army, they are at an absolute disadvantage, and the idea of ​​​​underestimating the enemy must not breed.

Pan Xi understood what Gao Kan was referring to. As the leading general of the Bowang Army, he naturally knew the strength of his troops, so no matter how hard his words were, his heart would inevitably feel weak.A defender with less than [-] people fighting against tens of thousands of people is really unreliable, not to mention fighting alone overseas, it is even more difficult to deal with.

Ge Shoujie didn't take it seriously. He didn't care how many soldiers and horses came to Sanfoqi. At sea, he had never been afraid of the naval forces of the countries in the South China Sea. The two large battleships are not vegetarians. Any military ship in the South China Sea was hit and sunk, and the gray lacquered iron armor included on the waterline made the artillery, stone, bow and crossbow helpless.

He said quite conceitedly: "If the boat masters of the Three Buddhas dare to move, I will let them come and go."

Pan Xi rolled his eyes at Ge Shoujie, and secretly scolded Shuibiezi for being hypocritical, if he really came to the fleet, he would be happy to drink and watch the battle at the top of the city, standing and talking like a goddamn thing without back pain, I want to work hard, but you should be a good boy first.

Gao Kan was also dissatisfied, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Ge Taiwei is brave, and the barbarians in the South China Sea are all invincible, but the Bowang army is attacked from three sides in the north and south cities, and the reinforcements don't know when they will arrive, so we must not underestimate the enemy."

No matter how vulgar Ge Shoujie is, he also understands Gao Kan's meaning. It seems that the wind letter is a bit delayed.

A gleam flashed in Pan Xi's eyes, and he said loudly: "Lord Zhijun, don't worry, there are tens of thousands of people in Nanban, but I have enough food and grass, relying on the strong city and having sea ships to support them, they want to fight to the bottom of the city, and don't give up tens of thousands of corpses No way.
