Zhao Xingde was silent for a while, and asked: "The situation in Daoyi, we are all hearsay, how many tribes do they have, how many populations, and what are their weapons?" Han Ningshuang groaned slightly, and replied: "Daoyi is divided into more than 500 tribes, regardless of the old and weak, and there are no more than 100,000 men in the victorious soldiers. Their weapons are rudimentary, most of them only have short knives and iron spear heads. Some are still making knives and guns made of animal bones. The barbarians are so brave and fierce that except for a very few leaders and warriors, they don't even have leather armor. The vast majority of people have never even seen a firearm. As long as they are not allowed to slip into the mountains, they will not be our opponents on the plains. ”

Zhao Xingde nodded slightly, and Han Ningshuang continued: "The tribe is too scattered, and it is the most difficult to deal with. In the past three years or so, in addition to sending out a wide range of meticulous efforts to explore the reality of the Daoyi tribes, we have also deliberately supported several large tribes along the coast and supported them in controlling and annexing the weak tribes, and the largest tribe has been able to mobilize thousands of Daoyi men to fight. We also helped them to form a big tribe in the mountains, so that we could use them to call friends and companions, and when the time came, we could catch them all. She paused, ignoring the fact that the Han army had instigated the tribe to plunder the Song fishermen and merchant ships in order to intimidate the Song people into approaching Liuqiu Island, and instead asked, "What do you think of the plan to pacify the island?" ”

"Very good," Zhao Xingde hesitated slightly, and asked, "If you are defeated in one fell swoop, what are you going to do with the captured Daoyi?" "He was feeling a little heavy. For the Han army, no matter what the price is, the flow is bound to win. Han'er was bullied by the Khitans in the north, but in order to fight for the land of survival, he had to wield a butcher's knife against Daoyi. The entire East China Sea is only suitable for large-scale reclamation, and the most important thing is to maintain social stability and order.

"Kill them all." Han Ningshuang did not hesitate. "No way!" Zhao Xingde said in a deep voice, "Do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself." ”

Han Ningshuang turned around, the sea breeze blew her sideburns, and she brushed the ends of her hair slightly. After a stalemate for a while, Han Ningshuang burst out laughing: "Do you believe this?" She glared at him and exclaimed, "You actually believe it? "This ......" Zhao Xingde was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect her to make a joke about this. Could it be that in your eyes, I am a bloodthirsty devil? Han Ningshuang glanced at him with a smile, and said, "If it can be calmed down in one fell swoop, a place will be enclosed on the northern plains, and the captured Daoyi will be locked in it to grow rice and sugar cane." When did they tame, and when did they release themselves to make up households with Hermes-Epitek. Her smile turned cold, and she whispered, "But I definitely won't let them go into the mountains again." Seeing that she had palpitations, it seemed that the Han army had suffered a big loss in the deep mountains, so Zhao Xingde did not ask.

"If you can wipe out the island's new forces in the plains, those tribes in the mountains will be weak for at least ten years. Taking advantage of the past ten years, we will go into the mountains and villages to choke the dangers everywhere, and monitor those mountains and islands nearby. If there is a resurgence of embers, they are to be extinguished immediately, and they are never allowed to rekindle. The tribes that are willing to deal with us according to the rules will use the method of trade bondage. Speaking of this, Han Ningshuang smiled and said to Zhao Xingde, "Song Guo's method of choosing the law and defending itself is good. We intend to abide by their own laws with Daoyi, and the contract and contract are based on the declaration, and if Daoyi commits a crime related to the Han Chinese, the crime will be punished by the Han people. ”

"Not bad." Zhao Xingde nodded.

"Can you send me a few people?" Han Ningshuang asked, "Those who captured the clan leaders are going to teach them the way of a gentleman." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Xingde looked at her in surprise, and Han Ningshuang smiled: "If you can't kill them, you can only educate them, at least in terms of the rules, let the leaders of the Daoyi tribe abide by the same rules as us." The way of a gentleman is more in line with the appetite of the Daoyi barbarians than those who are hypocritically benevolent and righteous. Repay virtue with virtue and repay grievances with straightforwardness. They killed our people, we killed them and took revenge, and they didn't say anything. She looked at Zhao Xingde narrowly and quipped, "The way of a gentleman doesn't just refer to men, right?" ”

"Of course, the son of the ancients," Zhao Xingde nodded and smiled, "Holding the hand of the son, growing old with the son, it will affect both men and women." ”

A layer of blush appeared on Han Ningshuang's face, the speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, she glared at Zhao Xingde, turned around and ignored him. Zhao Xingde was embarrassed and speechless, walked to her side, and stood in front of the window of the cabin. At this time, the morning sun was rising, and the cabin was filled with a damp smell. The two reunited after a long absence, and after discussing military affairs, only the private affairs of their children remained, but they didn't know what to say. The sea reflects the magnificent sunlight, the sea breeze blows slightly, and floats slightly in the water-colored skylight, the sea and the sky seem vast, and the occasional seabird passes by, and the two of them quietly look at the scenery outside.

At noon, Zhao Xingde returned to the camp. All the generals of the sailors breathed a sigh of relief. Du Toujiao introduced the situation of the Haikou Daoyi tribe. The size of Liuqiu Island is far greater than Du Fujiao's estimate. Due to the haste of the incident, he only observed a few Haikou tribes under the guidance of his guide, and drew a few maps of the terrain around the tribes, and he did not even find the place where the Han army had reclaimed. The Han army also sent representatives to participate in the military meeting of the large army, and proposed a plan to lead the Daoyi warriors to the sea for battle.

The typhoon was severe, and the island-based villages were not close to the sea, and most of them were not within the range of the warship artillery. Therefore, the units need to go ashore to fight. Daoyi had never seen firearms, and Zhao Xingde ordered all units not to carry artillery when they went ashore, and not to light fires without military orders, so as to avoid startling snakes.

This way of fighting against barbarians is defined by Zhao Xingde as a battle of snares. The hunter spreads a large net in the forest, and once a few chickadees are trapped, the netted chickadees will call desperately to attract other to fly over, and more and more chickadees will be caught in the net. The Song army initially sent only a small force to attack Daoyi, and then slowly added troops, and with the help of the Han army, in order to force Daoyi to constantly ask for reinforcements from other tribes, to expand the war in the plains as much as possible. Once you've attracted enough enemies, use your cannons and guns to gather them and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

Han gunboats were to fight alongside the Song army. Outside the sight of the Song army, 3,000 Han troops landed in other places and joined up with the 60,000 regiments collected by the Han people in the tunken, while strictly preventing the Daoyi from attacking the Han people's tun land, while preparing to cut off the key passes of the Daoyi to return to the deep mountains at the last moment, and then enter the mountains to establish a cottage to clear out the most troublesome barbarian troops. The Han army was originally born as a bandit, and after surviving the humid and hot climate and epidemics in the south, they were not afraid of the terrain of mountains, forests and swamps. The Han army will hold their breath for a few years, and they will not be able to bear it, this long-planned big operation, Han Ningshuang will personally sit in charge, and the main force of the Han army will come south to help, and the whole army will sweep away the Daoyi forces in this battle and completely control Liuqiu Island.

The day after the meeting, the first batch of troops, totaling more than 1,000 people, landed on three sea ships to attack Daoyi.

At dawn, the wind is hanging, a more sea journey after arriving in the south of Liuqiu, just as a round of red sun rises on the mountains of Liuqiu, ten thousand rays of sunlight shine out over the top of the mountain, but let the west of the entire mountain range fall in a huge shadow, showing a mottled color as if steel cast iron, and farther away, outside the faint outside of the mountains, the sea is sparkling with golden light, when the sun gradually rises, the sun gradually becomes full of the earth from ten thousand rays of splendor, the island is densely covered with layers of verdant trees, lofty mountains, Coastal boulders, fringing reefs, and sand dunes are scattered, and the coral reefs that rise offshore are like a cluster of lace slaid around the land.

"What a big island!" Ding Ban muttered, "It's just another piece of land!" ”

"yes, it's a big island." Du Blowhorn didn't have a good airway, "It's just too big." "Ryukyu Island is so big, his idea of making the island king has been greatly hit, looking at this continuous coastline with no end in sight from north to south, even if Du Fujiao is bankrupt, he will not be able to invite enough people to survey the terrain of the whole island. Looking at the undulating and rugged mountain ranges, Du Fujiao once followed Zhao Xingde to help the Taiheling barbarians rebel against the Rus State, and knew that it was not easy to deal with the barbarians in the mountains. If this Ryukyu Island is uninhabited, it would be better to say, he counted the islands on the plains, and there must be many barbarians in the mountains, and if he wants to pacify them, he does not know how much work it will take.

"It's too big," Du Blowhorn sighed, "It's too big, Lao Tzu's capital is too small." ”

He was talking to himself, and Ding Ban glanced at him inexplicably, and at this moment, the hull of the ship shook violently. The day before yesterday, Du Fujiao only took a small boat to the island to inspect it, and did not find out the route of the big ship close to the coast, and the barbarian part of the island itself did not enter or leave the big boat. Coral reefs are scattered all over the shallow water, and if the Song Jun's sea ship gets closer to the shore, the danger of running aground on the reef will greatly increase, so the big ship anchored in deep water, and the sailor lowered the boat and rowed hard to the shore of the island. Most of the people landed on the island for a guard arrangement, and a few rowed back the boats, and in this way, nearly 1,000 soldiers boarded the soft sandy beaches of Ryukyu Island.

Three miles away from this tidal flat, on a slightly elevated plain, is the largest island in the Ryukyus. The smoke of the morning cooking curls up, and it is particularly clear in the clear blue sky.

After the Romani Turks destroyed the Baiyi Dynasty, after a short period of temptation and wait-and-see, the Baghdad family and the Roma nouveau riche gathered under the throne of the Sultan.

The Sultan of Rûm was not a barbarian, and he recognized the rule of the caliph and did not even change the owner of the Golden Gate Palace, which gave the vast majority of Baghdad families a reason to turn to the new master, and they could pretend that Baghdad did not change masters, but only changed ministers. In the same way, the Sultan of Rûm needs the participation of these people. The roads that extend outward from Baghdad, through deserts, across oceans, but what really connects the entire world of food is not only the sword in the hands of the warriors, but also the court ministers who are born with the empire. The Sultan had never thought that he could get everything by the sword alone, or rather, with ease.

On this day, a hundred birds sang in the Eternal Palace, and Sultan Mesud and the crown prince secretly received an envoy from the east.
