Chapter five hundred and fiftieth IX vast
Xu Zixian stood on the edge of the island. It was already dusk. At the estuary of the river, clear and blue river water kept flowing into the muddy yellow and light blue sea water. This was a strange scene. Large areas of green and turbid colors formed obvious different waters. There were large seabirds circling and chirping at the top of their heads, and large groups of fish swam by under their feet. Occasionally, large sea fish such as dolphins would sing and swim under their feet.
From the river water upstream, you can gradually no longer see the river surface. Both sides of the shore are dense forests. Not only can you see the river view, but you can’t see the river. There is no development here at all. According to Wang Zhi and others, people from the Bohai Kingdom occasionally appear on the other side are mostly hunters who go to the deep mountains to hunt.
The Donghu people's activities were not at the seaside at all. They had only established military forts in a few places in southern Liaoning, and used light cavalry to open the defense line to prevent the Wei army from coming from the sea.
From southern Liaoning to Bohai Kingdom, as long as the Donghu people guarded a few important barriers, they were not afraid of it.
The most important thing is that he is invincible in field battles and is not afraid of surprise attacks at all.
If the Great Wei was on the other side, it would be that the seaside would have built dense military forts and camps. Two different civilizations, two different forms of war, which civilization is more efficient and which one is more powerful against barbarism?
So far, Xu Zixian feels that there is no answer yet.
If the shogunate army can defeat Donghu on sea and land in the future, this is what is called a victory of civilization. Will it definitely get the best result? Xu Zixian did not have much confidence before, but at this moment, he felt something naturally.
The land in front of you is vast and endless, and you can't see it at first sight. The Donghu people on the opposite side have used quite limited use of such land and natural resources. The empty coastline not only has not developed land and natural resources, but also has no intention of maritime trade and expanding commerce at all.
Such a barbaric tribe can succeed for a while, but will never be strong for a long time.
The defeat of the Great Wei actually originated from itself. It did not straighten out the relationship between the center and the local area, and did not further explore. The strong enemies in the north exhausted the enterprising spirit of the king and minister of the Great Wei Dynasty. When the changes of the times really came, the Great Wei did not seize the opportunity and did not make further breakthroughs in theory.
Colonization, production, and overseas wealth can be achieved. Various means can resolve internal conflicts and alleviate the various disadvantages brought about by insufficient financial resources. The Wei army is not weak, from equipment to training and actual combat. If the court could add 100 million yuan of extra money, 10 million stones of food and grass and corresponding materials this time, mobilize enough naval troops to replenish supplies from multiple places at sea, and there is no need to mobilize more imperial guards. With the current force, the Donghu people will be pressed on the Yushui side and achieve the strategic goal perfectly.
Unfortunately, it was ruined.
Xu Zixian didn't feel much sad. The defeat of the Great Wei Dynasty was not defeated on the battlefield, and the ending was long ago destined.
Everything he did now was to avoid everything in front of him. As the shogunate grew stronger, his confidence became stronger and stronger.
The worst outcome is that the Nanyang Navy fleet blocked the Yangtze River, and handed it over to the Donghu in the north, and the South and the South China countries, would still be owned by the Great Wei.
Decades later, the increasingly prosperous and powerful Wei went north again, attacking the broken and chaotic Donghu, completely recapturing the north, pushing into Liaodong, grasslands, and the Western Regions, and restoring the territory of the Tang Dynasty when it was at its peak.
Xu Zixian had no intention of occupying more territory. Even the countries in Southeast Asia would not directly colonize, and use culture, education, and economic control.
, This method is more flexible and clever, and will not be hated or rebounded. There are large plains in Liaodong and the northeast, which is the best black soil, and also has oil resources and forest minerals. Never give up.
Only when the grasslands are controlled can Chinese civilization solve the threat from the north and there will be no worries about a roar.
The old land of the Western Regions can only be controlled before external threats can be eliminated, and China will be integrated from then on.
As for the further distance, it is impossible to communicate and exchange for several months. It is extremely difficult to allocate personnel and materials. Even a prosperous empire is difficult to afford before it is truly industrialized. Only after industrialization can global colonization be borne. However, even the British Empire has a short time to truly colonize globally and consume too much national strength. As the level of civilization increases, plundering will become increasingly difficult, and the maintenance costs will become higher and higher, and the real gain will be more and more.
Xu Zixian felt that if he managed it well, these things should be able to be done in the next few decades and would be done well.
Emperor Taizu's unpaid ambitions should be accomplished by him.
In the twilight, there was no more sight. The continent became a silhouette in the dark. Xu Zi turned back at this time and said to Wang Zhi and others: "The time is almost over. I have a premonition that within one or two days, our ships along the coast will see the fleeing soldiers."
Wang Zhi said understandingly: "Except for the ships brought by His Highness, all our ships and personnel will go to the beach. You must not allow a Northern Expedition soldier to fight to the beach but cannot squeeze onto the boat, be killed by the enemy, or be drowned in the sea."
If even small fishing boats were included, there were more than a thousand boats brought by Wang Zhi's troops and Xu Zixian. Wang Zhi would also use his identity as a Jiedushi to make sea boats and fishing boats in Jinhai and Dengzhou go to the beach to rescue. The conditions for wooden sailing and visual search and rescue can only be that the more people mobilized, the better, and the more ships, the better.
"It's so good." Xu Zi stood for a long time, but his expression became much calmer. He turned to Wang Zhi and others and said, "We will do our best to do our best and leave our will. After this matter, I will return to the Dongfan to preside over the Japanese conquest. Luzon and the Japanese will pacify one after another. Next, we will work with Lanfang and strengthen the navy. Then we will fight Pu Xingfeng next year and decide the overall situation in Nanyang. If we win, there will be no worries on the sea and no worries in the south of the Great Wei. I will focus on raising horses, practicing cavalry, sufficient infantry, sufficient wages and equipment, and wait for the day of fighting with the Donghu people. Today's shame will be rewarded a hundred times the future!"
"I am willing to follow Your Highness's Horse Queen." Deng Wenjun, Lu Sihai and others clasped their fists and said: "It is also our long-cherished wish to wipe out Pu Xingfeng!"
...
Xu Ziwei was discovered in Huludao area, and he did not dare to go directly to Ningyuan. It was not because he was afraid that Li Jian or Li Enmao would treat him. The two of them would not attack him directly. Xu Ziwei was worried about the defeated soldiers who followed Ningyuan to join him. Many of the defeated soldiers surrounded him many times. If they could kill people, Xu Ziwei would have been cut into pieces of rotten flesh.
Even if the eyes were not enough to kill people, Chang Ji and Heng Dao were OK. Along the way, there were many riots gathered in front of Xu Ziwei. Many soldiers looked sad and angry. When they pressed the sword, there were fewer and fewer Lang Wei military officers and subordinates around Xu Ziwei... They originally expected to follow this person back to the capital to escape from their crimes, but later they felt that this person aroused public anger, and the best outcome was to be removed from their official position. They were detained for many years. Following this person was like catching a straw when drowning, which was of no use, so many Lang Wei dispersed.
Xu Ziwei has no way to control his subordinates, no matter how much it is to be kind and power
He was not good at both, and in a few days he became a general with a bare escape. When he arrived in Ningyuan, whether it was Chen Changde or Li Jian, Li Enmao had no good expression on him. When the three of them discussed sending him directly into the capital in a prison car or detaining him in Ningyuan first, Xu Ziwei saw that the opportunity was not good and ran away quickly.
He is not afraid of being sent to the capital. If he is imprisoned in Ningyuan, then something will be a big deal.
The tens of thousands of soldiers in the city were afraid that everyone would want to tear Xu Ziwei apart and eat it raw. The risk of staying was too great. Xu Ziwei still had some experience in saving his life. For example, when he was in Jianzhou, when the situation of the battle changed, he followed his father and had no hesitation at all. The father and son collapsed as soon as they ran away from the battlefield. To be fair, with his father and son's ability, even if he stayed on the battlefield, it was not very meaningful, and the defeat was decided.
There were only two confidant guards left by Xu Ziwei. The prince's tooth general brought from Jiangling, who would not follow Xu Ziwei and stay in Ningyuan, would probably not have a good ending.
The three of them escaped from Ningyuan, only more than 200 miles away from Yuguan, but they did not dare to walk on the main road. They could only walk from the forest, wilderness, and shrubs to the beach. They were finally discovered by Wang Zhibu. At the beginning, the three of them wanted to hide their identities, but under the recognition of many defeated soldiers, their identities were quickly exposed.
When he reached Wang Zhi's hands, Xu Ziwei was not too panicked. This pirate king acted quite well and the two sides did not involve too many grudges, so he stayed at the island with peace of mind.
When Xu Zi went to the island first, Xu Ziwei was almost distracted. He did not expect that his cousin and Wang Zhi had such a deep cooperative relationship and could easily set foot in each other's nest.
As soon as Xu Zi came first, Xu Ziwei felt something was wrong. Only then did he recall the conversation with Xu Ziwen when he was on the riverside. At that time, Xu Ziwen advised him to repent with his heart and take practical actions to make up for his previous crimes, so that he could beg for life in the hands of his cousin who was in charge of great power and save his life... As for the father, due to his identity, face and family history, it was impossible to do such a thing, not to mention that King Zhao is also old. The incident in the past or two years has greatly affected the current Duke of Zhao. King Zhao's body is aging rapidly, and it is no longer important whether he admits guilt and seeks life.
At that time, Xu Ziwei was disdainful of Xu Ziwen's argument, believing that Xu Ziwen was scared out of fear and that there was still something to do about big things... At this point, Xu Ziwei realized how stupid, arrogant, arrogant, and how desperate he was.
"It's over..." Xu Ziwei burst into tears and said to his two confidants: "I want to go back to Jiangling now, and it's impossible to lead a hunting dog to hunt and chase rabbits on the mountain. Looking back, I really regret it."
After Lin Shaozong pushed the door in, the Fujian man didn't say anything at all, only looked at Xu Ziwei with a cold look. When the other party was pale and at a loss, Lin Shaozong waved his hand and asked someone to bring the banquet in.
The endless stream of servants brought the wine and food in. Lin Shaozong said in Fuzhou dialect: "Your Highness of the King of Qin does not want to see the Left Order of Qimen. I will greet you at a banquet tonight. I will send a boat to myself tomorrow. I will send you the Left Order of Qimen to Jinhai. They are both close to the clan. Your Highness of Qin wants to keep the face of the clan. He also asks the Left Order of Qimen to take care of it and don't cause trouble. What is embarrassing is the entire clan, especially the Wenzong lineage."
