Chapter 234 Grain and grass

Yang Yandi naturally wanted to persuade Xiao Wu again, after all, sending troops is of great importance.

"Sir, since the civil strife of Zhenla, Lord Ruan sent troops to Zhenla to finally establish two queens in Zhenla. Zhenla has been divided into two parts. Now the southern Zhenla is controlled by Neon, and this Neon is established by Lord Ruan. Everything he does is obey Guangnan. If we send troops to Zhenla, Guangnan will definitely send troops to intervene." Yang Yandi quickly said the form of Zhenla.

"Yes, General Xiao, Guangnan and Irreiwu are in a suffocation. We will send troops to attack Chaiban, and Guangnan will definitely send troops. What's more, the northern part of Irrei Qiu has long wanted to unify Zhenla. If he sends troops rashly, it will only lead to the alliance between the three parties. It's better to wait until the Ming court recruits Dongpu before making plans." Huang Jin, who was standing beside him, also spoke.

He was not willing to surrender to the Ming court of Luzon, but now Xiao Wu actually wanted to use the military power of the Midi Ming people to attack Zhenla. Isn’t this killing someone with a knife?

What's more, if it were just for the Midi Ming army and the Ming navy who came from afar, they would probably not be able to take over the Zhenla.

It was not that Huang Jin despised the Ming Navy, but that Zhenla was located in the inland area with dense water networks along the way, and it was difficult for the army to set off, not to mention that the Ming army in front of him was mostly mainly firearms.

The Ming army in Luzon was particularly important in firearms. During the Battle of Dongpu, Yang Yandi and other Ming generals discovered this.

When Li Liu led more than 100 Ming troops to help Dongpu, the gunpowder, shells and other supplies needed to be transported by Mingren caravans and Mingren from Dongpu along the way. It took him half a month to enter Nongnai City.

Now if we want to send troops to Zhenla, we need artillery and firearms ten times more than before. So many guns and gunpowder are needed to be transported by manpower. Where did Meidi get so many wooden boats and livestock transport supplies?

There are also the food and supplies needed by the army after entering Zhenla.

The Ming army and the Ming army had a total of more than 3,000 naval forces. After entering Zhenla, they would need to get away from Meidi, as well as how many food and grass they needed, as well as how many wooden boats and convoys they needed to transport.

"Sir, if we really want to attack the Chaiban, we need to send at least 3,000 stones of military ration to Zhenla, and countless gunpowder guns and bullets. Now Dongpu has just encountered war. Lu Haipost said that the Ming people in Dongpu urgently need food and grass. Therefore, when Lord Li led the Fubo Town Navy to Dongpu, he also took away the Minghai Merchant Fleet responsible for the transportation of food and grass. Now my navy's food and grass can only last for half a month." Wang An, the land battle camp, spoke.

During these days, the Minghai made an indelible contribution to the ability of thousands of Ming troops to reach Meidi across the ocean.

When Liu Yu established the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, he considered the issue of Ming army's expeditions, grain transportation and on-site grain collection.

After thinking about it, Liu Yu finally decided to hand over the logistics of the Ming army to the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, which led to Minghai.

Minghai did not let down Liu Yu's trust during these days. Thousands of Ming Navy marched from Dayu Island across the South Ocean to Meidi. After two months along the way, the Ming army was able to maintain normal diet and maintain combat effectiveness.

In addition to storing dry food and dried fish from its own ships, the eighteen Minghai lucky ships that followed the Ming army to expedition also made an indelible contribution.

Now due to the war in Dongpu, Duke Li went to Dongpu to recruit Ming people from Dongpu. All of these eighteen grain ships followed Dubu Li north. Now the officers and soldiers of the Navy Town can only rely on the food and grass stored on their own warships to survive.

Xiao Wu frowned, but he forgot about this.

"Sir, as the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass will go first. If our army wants to send troops to Zhenla, we must prepare a large amount of supplies and food. Please give the last general two months. The last general will definitely prepare the three months of food and grass for the army in Meidi." Liwu Town General Xue Wenjing hurriedly said when he saw this.

"Okay, then according to the general's words." Xiao Wu nodded, and could only delay the time to send troops to Zhenla.

After all, Dongpu has not yet been recruited. If Dongpu is recruited, due to the chaos in Dongpu, the Ming court still needs to spend a lot of money and energy.

After thinking about it, Xiao Wu finally decided to postpone the dispatch of troops and wait until the governor Li recruited Mingren from Dongpu before making plans.

At this time, Dongpu was raining all night.

Due to the attack of the Zhen La people, the power of the Ming people in Dongpu was greatly reduced.

The Ming people's troops were only over one thousand in the entire Dongpu area.

Now the area where Chen Shangchuan and others can control is the county and community near Nongnai City.

In addition, the burning, killing and looting of the Zhenla foreign soldiers in Dongpu during this period.

This led to the spread of refugees and thieves everywhere in Dongpu.

The most important thing is that during these days, the Zhen La people even burned rice fields and plundered food in nearby villages and communities, which led to the rise of hungry people in Dongpuna now.

For this reason, Chen Shangchuan had to ask for help from the surrounding areas.

Yang Yandi was naturally happy to help, and sent the 1,000 stones of food and grass from his army to the Ming people of Dongpu, and promised that the military rations transported to Meidi from land and sea would also be delivered to Dongpu.

This is also the reason why Yang Yandi opposed Xiao Wu's dispatch of troops to Zhenla, because Meidi also had to send a large amount of manpower and animal power to transport grain to Dongpu.

Hexian also sent envoys to express condolences, but did not provide any substantial assistance.

On the contrary, Guangnan, who had been stabbing his sword in the back, sent three grain transport ships to the coast of Dongpu, and the envoy sent by Ruan Zhu to condolences.

However, the generals of the Ming people in Dongpu had long hated Guangnan.

He directly ordered the city gate to be closed and refused to allow the Guangnan envoy to enter the city.

The Guangnan envoy who was turned away could only curse and leave.

When the merchant ships in Guangnan left the coast of Dongpu, the navy led by Du Li also arrived in Dongpu.

With the arrival of the Ming Navy, the entire Dongpu was in full bloom.

Unlike Akira Miki who had some resistance and resistance to the arrival of the Ming Dynasty Navy, the Ming generals in Dongpu were ecstatic about the arrival of the Ming Dynasty Navy.

Du Li personally led the officers and soldiers of Hubenqian Town to Nongnai City.

What he saw along the way made the Hu Ben officers and soldiers very angry.

By the way, several groups of thieves who occupied the mountains and became kings were wiped out.

When the Hu Ben Front Army arrived in Nongnai City, Chen Shangchuan went out of the city to greet him in person.

The Ming generals of the Ming Dynasty had discussed the imperial edicts several times about the Ming Dynasty. In the end, the Ming generals of the Ming Dynasty unanimously decided to surrender to the Ming Dynasty in Luzon.

Therefore, Li Shi was able to recruit Ming people from Dongpu and successfully. Chen Shangchuan did not even mention the food and salary of the soldiers. He just hoped that the Ming court could send troops to Dongpu as soon as possible and at the same time transport food and grass to Dongpu to save the victims.

Duke Li quickly agreed and ordered Minghai to unload all the grain and grass on the grain transport ship and transport it to Dongpu.

With the introduction of tens of thousands of stones of emergency food and grass into Dongpu, disaster victims in the Dongpu area were able to survive.

Dongpu immediately was grateful to the Ming court, and Chen Shangchuan even personally presented Dongpu's household registration, taxes and official land to Duke Li.

"I didn't expect there were so many official fields in Dongpu." Li Du was filled with emotion.

Along the way, although there were refugees everywhere and hungry people everywhere, the rice fields and paddy fields everywhere really shocked the Hu Ben soldiers present.

I have heard from Lord Liu Yu that the fertile land of Dongpu area is a land of fish and rice. It is true that I saw this today.

But what Duke Li didn't expect was that there were so many official fields in Dongpu.

You should know that in Luzon, the Ming army only occupied Lavag and other towns after expelling the Folangji people by force.

The cultivated land and other areas are in the hands of local Tubang.
