670 I am the third

Han Zhen was petrified: "He really used troops to Dali?"

Why does this expression mean that it is the land area? Now Dali not only includes 95% of the Yunnan region, a small part of Sichuan-Guizhou region, but also a small part of Vietnam, Thailand, Laos and northern Myanmar, and even a small part of East India region. In terms of area, it is almost eight times that of Jiaozhi Country in the past!

Of course, on the surface, Jiaozhi defeated Dali.

However, this does not really represent national strength, just like the Western Xia can match the Song Dynasty in terms of national strength?

Even in terms of national strength, the Liao Kingdom was not as good as the Song Dynasty.

The bigger the country, the harder it is to forcefully destroy it from the outside. China is the best example. If the Sima family had not been able to fight the Western Jin Dynasty and messed up the Western Jin Dynasty, could the Five Barbarians invade China? If the Jin Dynasty had not occupied the north, could the Yuan Dynasty annihilate the Song Dynasty? You can even say boldly that if Kublai Khan did not launch the miraculous Long March, attack Dali, and form a north-south attack on Sichuan, causing the Song Dynasty to eventually lose Sichuan, and it would probably not have been destroyed!

If it weren't for the two turtles of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, could the Qing people go south?

Or Japan, don’t say that the US imperial helps, if it weren’t for the US imperial supplying Japanese oil and rubber in the early stage, Japan wouldn’t know what it would be like. Even with this premise, the US imperial and the Soviet Union did not intervene, Japan might be able to occupy Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Shaanxi, but it still could not destroy China. Let’s look at the New Fourth Army in East China, the Eighth Route Army in North China, and the Kuomintang troops operating behind enemy lines. China is too large and Japan’s troops cannot be allocated. On the contrary, the larger the territory it occupies, the weaker the power. In other words, sooner or later, it will be driven out by China! Of course, that victory will come later, maybe ten years later, or twenty years later.

This principle is the difference between Dali and Jiaozhi.

Whether it is Jiaozhi or Chameng, their area is too small and is close to the seashore, so it swept several times. In addition, Wang Ju sent some troops to trap among the refugees, and Jiaozhi destroyed the country. Then he used refugees to attract the Chameng army to Lizhou. The troops behind him were empty, and Wang Ju carried a large army with a ship and took the Chameng Kingdom in an instant.

But can this tactic be applicable to Dali?

Not to mention Dali, even Zhenla, this refugee tactic is not effective. It’s nothing else, Zhenla is also large in area!

Lu Gongzhu said, "Your Majesty. If Wang Ju really wants to destroy a large number, in the opinion of his ministers, it is best not to be accurate, otherwise it will cause trouble for the people and money."

Zhao Xu asked unhappily: "Lu Qing, where did you waste the people and lose money?"

When Wang Shao ran Xihe, Wen Yanbo also said similar things, just like building a house. At the beginning, the craftsmen required very little wages, but at halfway through the construction, the owner would have to increase the wages, or not to repair it?

Zhao Xu asked back: Will your house not be repaired after it is broken?

The two have similar meanings, but Lu Gongzhu is not as shameless as Wen Yanbo.

Zhao Xu asked just one sentence and left Mr. Lu speechless.

Is it a waste of effort? It's a waste of effort, and it's a waste of effort. How can I count this?

Is it hurt money? It hurts money. I took out ten million, but more than ten million? Is it destroyed two countries with ten million, so it only costs five million to destroy one country. Wang Ju, I will give you 50 million. You can destroy ten countries for me!

Of course, the court paid out more than 10 million yuan, and there were many invisible expenses, such as supporting many armors. So many armors were not completely built overseas, and the court also supported a lot. Some of the income from Guangdong and Guangxi also caused Wang Ju to overdraw. Although not much, it would have to be millions.

If we agree, eight thousand soldiers enter Bashu and then go south to Dali. We will provide a lot of logistics supply and use civil servants. Although it is not as expensive as Guo Kui goes south to 100,000 troops and 200,000 civil servants, it will also cost some money.

But the military expenses for the imperial court are so much. Is it too much? Don’t destroy Dali, even if you have already destroyed the two countries, it is not too much!

There is another fee, which is the resettlement of refugees. Wang Ju is in the south. These refugees unloaded the ship and loaded them on the ship. However, once they arrived in the inland, they did not send officials, yamen runners and soldiers to evacuate them. Once so many refugees escaped and fled, the entire southeast would be in chaos. Therefore, after the court saw Wang Ju's memorial, it immediately issued an edict to make all the prefectures in the southeast immediately alert, not only to immediately organize the yamen runners to prepare to cooperate with the various managers sent by Wang Ju to evacuate the people to the homes of the master households, but also to prevent them from being assigned 30,000 ban troops to go south and go to the guards of various states.

This is also the benefit of the centralized system. Just like when Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty placed 100,000 Hu people, the whole country was quietly settled and was placed in an instant.

Although there are more people now, all the weapons are confiscated immediately, and there is no organization, so there is no big problem.

But this will also cost a lot.

But how to calculate this cost? The refugees have been resettled, the poor households have gone south, and a few years later, Jiaozhi has become a land of fish and rice, and there is another sea route. So what impact will the Song Dynasty have on the Song Dynasty with an additional granary in hand?

Food is the most important thing for people, but the population is getting denser and denser. People will not be able to eat enough in a good harvest. Moreover, it is a wasteland. If there is a granary in it, even if it is a sea route, it will also have positive significance! In fact, after the Yuan Dynasty killed all the people in the north, he transferred grain from the south and took sea routes. The higher ones transported more than three million stones of grain from the sea route to the north a year. For this reason, nine thousand sea ships were built between the 11th year of Zhiyuan and the 29th year of Zhiyuan.

But officials were afraid of problems and dared not build large sea ships. Instead, they were more flexible and maneuverable ocean-covering ships and sailboats, both of which were less than 100 tons. However, without sea routes, major problems would arise in the early rule of the Yuan Dynasty. In fact, the Yuan Dynasty could have been able to truly create extra-large sea ships with a load of 1,500 tons. However, history seemed to be a joke. In the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He spent too much money on voyages to the West, and coupled with the dangers of wind and waves on Shanghai and the harm of Japanese pirates, the more advanced civilization banned the sea...

So why did Wang Ju think that the Northern Song Dynasty would be established a little longer?

Although this is not good and that is not good, compared with other dynasties, the Northern Song Dynasty was at least an enlightened dynasty in internal governance.

Therefore, from this perspective, it is not a cost. At most, it is a major investment from the court.

Wu Chong said: "Your Majesty, Dali is too big, so I am worried that once the war begins, the outcome will be unknown. Even if you win, Dali will destroy the country, and how will it be governed in the future. Therefore, when Taizu was Tai's father used a jade axe to draw the Dadu River, I did not want to draw it from the west. Please think twice."

Feng Jing also said: "Your Majesty, Wang Ju goes south and destroys the two countries. The great achievements are complete, there is no need to add anything to it."

These two people had absolutely no malice, and they were talking about their ideas. No matter what, Guo Kui went south, and the court used so much money and military and civilians. They only exchanged for a tragic victory, and they were also unwilling to accept it. To this end, Jiaozhi became a deadly place, and the kings of Chameng were immediately sent to the capital. It was enough, enough...

Wang Gui said: "If we talk about combat power, our dynasty Wang Ju should be the best."

Lu Gongzhao said, "If there were no refugees to restrain him, how could Wang Ju easily take Champa?"

Don’t talk about combat power, this approach is still very terrible!

This principle... As long as it is a battle to destroy the country, how can one achieve peaceful and benevolent and destroy the country?

However, Mr. Lu was not entangled with whether Wang Ju's actions were cruel. If he angered this kid, he would get another million refugees to the south and then place them. How to place them in the end? I believe that with the ruthlessness of this kid, 60% would be able to do it. Therefore, what he meant was that without these refugees, Wang Ju would not be able to win easily. Then when he arrived in Dali, there would be no refugees and he would not be able to win easily. Therefore, he could not use troops to Dali.

Cai Que heard that they had been fighting for a long time and said to him: "Wang Ju did not say that he must destroy Dali. You can issue an edict and ask, and then order him to think twice before acting. Don't be impulsive."

Zhao Xu said, "That's it."

In fact, he had guessed it a long time ago, but he really didn't know whether it was possible or not. Moreover, the maps sent by Wang Ju to the capital also included the maps of Dali, which was indeed very large and large.

But he looked at the maps of various countries on the large map drawn by Wang Ju, and then looked at Dali. Are you moved? Not moved... that's strange!

…………

"Young Bao, after a little bit, it's about 9.7 million yuan." Huang Hua said.

This is the harvest of this dispatch of troops.

Most of the gains from suppressing Brahmins who colluded with the "Bintonglong rebels" in Vijay City, Khatri gains from suppressing the Song army of Bintonglong.

After negotiating with Harevana, Yanda also led the remaining army into the city of Vijay, and Lizhou began to retreat.

These people were reloaded on board and transported to the Central Plains. In fact, Wang Ju did not harm these people. He stayed on the island on the other side, and most of them lived a primitive life. Even if there were some civilization prototypes in the coastal areas, they were not very advanced.

Therefore, a person's life span is very short. If we can calculate it, on average, the average life span will not exceed 30 years old. Why is it so short? Because many babies die before they live a few years old, Wang Ju hardly saw an elderly person over 70 years old.

If they had no trouble after they arrived in the Central Plains, if they met a good family, their lives would be several times better than those on the other island. And their descendants would gradually integrate into this developed civilization system. Of course, this race would disappear like the Xianbei people back then.

Whether it is good or bad depends on what angle it is, at least it is stronger than the US's policy towards Indians.

But three groups of clever Jiaozhi people realized that something was wrong, gathered countless people to resist, but they were quickly suppressed. It can only be said that these three groups caused three unpleasant episodes.

And time can't wait.

Nowadays, after the ships have been successively transformed, many large sea boats have become five masts and nine sails, thus reaching eight-sided wind (eight-sided wind means that in the sailing era, there are only many main sails and side sails. Therefore, different wind directions can be used by adjusting the main sails and side sails, so that the ship can keep sailing rapidly. Zheng He once reached nine masts and twelve sails when he voyage to the West. Therefore, this treasure ship may have reached the maximum limit of the wooden ship structure, more than 2,000 tons, or even 3,000 tons, but it is impossible to have tens of thousands of tons, which is a bit rippling).

This also confused Wang Ju for a while. Wasn't it a two-masted ship in ancient times? He was influenced by the pirates of the Caribbean.

Therefore, under the great power of Wang, this ship technology has almost reached the peak of the Yuan Dynasty and is far ahead of the ship technology of the Northern Song Dynasty.

But no matter how many winds are, it is impossible to sail against the wind and drive the ship to sail.

So when facing the wind, I had to put down the rowing oars and land all the canvas. Dozens and hundreds of people roam the large oars and continue sailing against the wind. But this distance is hard to imagine how far I can sail.

This requires monsoon to be seized. In fact, some ships behind may have already started sailing against the wind, but the refugees evacuated to Fujian Road, rather than entering the Yangtze River, are not a big problem, but time will definitely not be delayed.

The refugees were moved away, and the Chammen breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Song army was already stationed in Vijay, they did not do anything wrong. Once these refugees came over, they would not be as simple as doing something wrong, but they would have completely become a dead place.

Then, under the call of Wang Ju and Helivamore, the two countries formed a large army to fight against Bintonglong's rebels.

Wang Ju was not kind-hearted and refused to let them unite. The Zhen La people came over and Chameng had to surrender.

But he underestimated Bin Tonglong's tenacity. Fortunately, he had always been careful in his march. Although it was a rebellion in a small area, Wang Ju still dispatched thousands of cavalry and a huge navy. Finally, Yan Da saw something wrong and directly threw the army into the main battlefield, which wiped out the Bin Tonglong's rebels. However, this finally caused four or five thousand casualties to the Song Dynasty.

And I also gained very little in the Bintonglong area.

The wealth and goods on both sides gathered, and there is no accurate monetary system now, so I had to estimate the price.

The first type of wealth is gold and silver, and even copper coins from the Song Dynasty, which everyone likes.

The second type of wealth is goods from the Song Dynasty. This cannot be brought back. It has to be traded locally and replaced with goods from Chameng.

The third type of wealth is Chameng's products, such as ivory, rhinoceros horns, ebony and other rare objects, as well as some goods that come to Chameng from other overseas countries to trade. These merchant goods have to be brought back for re-trading.

After gradually changing the Song Dynasty commercial goods to commercial goods from Chameng or South China Sea, Wang Ju asked his subordinates to estimate the price and came up with this amount.

Hebin said with some dissatisfaction: "That's just that?"

Wang Ju used his military service to be extravagant, and he also promised to take out half of it as a reward and a pension. In other words, this battle may not be able to save military expenditures.

"These small countries are still too poor," Yan Da said.

Another way is to plunder and clean the whole city, and then clean the Bintonglong area. Then you may gain 20 to 30 million wealth, but doing so obviously does not conform to Wang Ju's purpose.

Wang Ju smiled and was speechless.

No wonder later generations say that the Song Dynasty occupied 60% of the world's GDP, which seems to be a false statement. Although Jiaozhi was dismissed from military force and defeated the treasury in such a way, it did not gain much wealth among the people when it swept through. It is said that the city of Vijay is rich, but it is just like this. Think about how much wealth the Jin people in history got when they attacked Kaifeng City.

"It's better than not, everyone, don't think too much, let's do the important business." Wang Ju said.

As he said that, he led everyone out of this house, which was the house of a top noble in Champa. As for that palace, Wang Ju had not moved in, so he had to give Helivamore face, otherwise he would not be able to rule the country in the future.

The group came to the palace. The ministers in the palace had already gathered, while Helivamore had a bitter face.

Wang Ju patted his shoulder and said, "Hali, don't worry. In the past, the king of Champa also went to China to meet the Chinese emperor, and then came back. Everyone knows the reason why China destroyed Jiaozhi. If Jiaozhi had not invaded our Yongzhou massacre, how could China send troops south? Would China become interested in you small countries?"

After listening to Hualu's translation, one of the ministers opened his mouth unconvincedly.

"Your name is Yelongho?"

"Um."

"Do you think I'm talking big? Yes, Guo Kui went south and did not destroy Jiaozhi. This was not my mistake in employing people in the Song Dynasty, but that all three people with military talents had important responsibilities."

Yelonghe said aloud, and Hualu translated: "He asked Shaobao, are you one of them?"
