Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 927 Wang Xiu’s Han Federation Ideal
Wang Xiu blinked, her expression seemed to change, she took it over and looked at it, her face was overjoyed, she didn't want to check whether the sealant was intact, she immediately took it apart to have a look, while looking at it, she said happily: "It's finally here, okay?" !"

Zong Liang chuckled, and said: "Sir, it's not that you are worried about the second brother and the others, so this is the letter. However, according to the wind letter, it shouldn't be! It should be the north wind going south, how can the big ship go north?"

"It's true that you don't care about overseas." Wang Xiu glared at Zongliang, and said indifferently: "If you go north directly from the South China Sea, it's definitely not possible, but if you go north from the coast of Chenla or Champa, it's not impossible. "

Zong Liang suddenly realized, yes!The master has already started plotting Jiaozhi and the coastal islands of Champa. Shangguanqian's expeditionary army may not have time yet, but Li Changsheng has time to send people north, but it is difficult to reach Jiaozhi.

However, if the fleet goes out to sea, Jiaozhi will stare blankly. Your small broken boats dare to compete with the blessing boats of the Song Dynasty, and they are simply too hungry.

"It's not easy to come, the Li family of Jiaozhi is ambitious! No, that's a naturally rebellious group, what a waste of a good place." Wang Xiu said leisurely, his eyes gleaming.

Zong Liang shivered. Whenever the husband has this kind of vision, someone is probably going to be unlucky, obviously it is cochin.It seems that the husband once mentioned Jiaozhi, and in the statement of occupying the coastal islands, there is a faint meaning of destroying the country with an army.

In the smoggy land of Cochin, the conquests have always been rampant, and the establishment of exile officials had to be abandoned to appease them.However, it is not impossible now. As long as we can gain a firm foothold in the South China Sea and continue to develop our strength, the shortcomings of acclimatization will be overcome, and the mere Cochin is just a tiny place.

"Sir, the purpose of the South Guards is to conquer Jiaozhi?"

Wang Xiu was startled, and then looked at Zong Liang and smiled, making Zong Liang puzzled, and said involuntarily, "Sir, did I say something wrong?"

"That's right, that's not right." Wang Xiu seemed to be thinking, and her tone was very flat.

"Please advise me, sir." Zong Liang said embarrassingly, as someone close to Wang Xiu, if he couldn't figure out what the husband was thinking, that was the biggest incompetence.

"The Southern Guard is the capital I have the greatest hopes for. How can Cochin and Champa have such a big face? It is enough to set up a camp for them. Setting up a direction capital is too flattering for them." Wang Xiu shook his head, and he really laughed.

As long as the epidemic can be dealt with and the logistics support and medical services can be done well, these noisy monkeys are simply a pool of rotten meat in front of the imperial army armed to the teeth in the Song Dynasty, not worth mentioning.

Zong Liang suddenly understood, but he was still a little uncertain, so he could only look at Wang Xiu anxiously, hoping to listen.

"Originally, it was very difficult to conquer the Southwestern Yi. It required continuous infiltration by the imperial court. It would not take hundreds of years to complete the replacement of native officials with officials. The establishment of the Southern Guard was partly aimed at the Southwestern Yi, but it was mainly aimed at those in the South China Sea. campaign."

Seeing that Zong Liang was listening carefully, Wang Xiu said: "At the beginning, the goal was not big, and it could even be said to be conservative, but things must be done one by one, and the plan must be continuously improved. Nowadays, the guard navy is To fight overseas and form a large overseas military state, how do you think it will be managed?"

"It's nothing more than a military state administratively, and even forms an overseas transshipment route, but military affairs cannot be laissez-faire. It is necessary to unify the military order and divide the military administration. It is impossible for the guard and navy to command the horse infantry to fight. In the end, it can only be replaced by the guard Of course, the Southern Sea Fleet that guards the Navy can also serve as the Commander of the Guard, but the Commander of the Guard must not be missing. The purpose of the Southern Guard is largely to deal with the South China Sea, and even Nanzhou."

"Now, our eyes are limited to the South China Sea, so what about a hundred years later? Nanzhou, that is a land full of hope!"

Zong Liang finally understands that the master has a big heart. Just by looking at the map drawn by the master, he can know how vast Nanzhou is, and the intention of setting up the Southern Guard is immediately apparent.People say that the guards and sailors go overseas and waste money, food and wealth. If you look at the territory of Nanzhou, you will stop talking.

Those who are enterprising will definitely see the role of the Southern Guards. What's more, the army is basically supporting wars overseas. Except for the production of sophisticated weapons, which must be manipulated by the court, there is no need to spend money on other things.

"Okay, now Nanzhou is too far away. Let's look at the South China Sea. It's not good to be too high." Wang Xiu raised his brows. There really is no one who really understands him. Zong Liang is not, Li Changsheng is not, Bo Zhang is not satisfactory, Zhong Lirui Count half.

There is no doubt about Shangguan Qian's ability, tens of thousands of well-equipped troops, hundreds of powerful sea ships, if they can't fight a piece of the world, it is really a waste.

Once a firm foothold in Srivijaya is established, the next step is to expand. With the naval fleet as a link, establish a stronghold in Java, and finally turn back to develop northward, forming a strategic encirclement of Champa and Cochin, and completely solving the transportation link between the mainland and the South China Sea.

He didn't ask much, even if he couldn't destroy Jiaozhi and conquer Champa, he still had to open up a land passage.Ensure north-south land transportation, not just rely on slow sea lanes.Of course, it is best to completely conquer Jiaozhi and Zhancheng, let them integrate into the big circle of China, solve the problems of future generations once and for all, let the tentacles of the Han family take shape in the South China Sea, and lay the geographical foundation for the real era of great navigation. Ships have direct access to and from both oceans.

If there is no land communication, it will be difficult for the Song Dynasty to control the South China Sea. At least before the arrival of the steam age, relying mainly on wind communication is absolutely unreliable.

The final result is that the control over the overseas military states will weaken after decades, and the overseas military states will completely become separatist forces after a hundred years. This is not what he wants to see. under.

Then again, even if it becomes an independent kingdom, as long as it is the Han family, it can become a blood relationship. According to the tradition of the Han family, if it is united for a long time, it must be divided and divided for a long time. Even if it cannot be truly controlled by the local people, as long as a stable cultural tradition is formed , even if a separatist force is formed, a solid alliance bond will be formed.

He has already made a preliminary plan for the strategy of the South China Sea. The waterway in the South China Sea is a major event, the deterrence of the naval fleet, and the exchange of large supplies, so he decided that the guard navy must continue to develop. strengthened.

However, the connection of the land channel is urgent and must start within ten years. The Southern Guard has set up a special camp in Guangnan, which is also the only camp.
