Chapter 469 Da Nang

"You're here,"

Li Tao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I said old man, you're playing a little big now, right?" Indochina is not small...... Troops and food and grass, too nervous, right? ”

"It's not a big problem,"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "I'll tell you the truth, I've been on the road for the past few days, and I've thought about it carefully." ”

"Oh? Tell me? ”

"Okay,"

Lin Xiao nodded and said slowly, "After Ding Shuai returned to Qinzhou, I asked Mo Yuanwei and Yu Cheng to cooperate with him, and recruited more than 2,000 homeless people in the surrounding prefectures and counties to join the army, Lao Cao's rifle is also in place, and at present, he is also a big regiment, although there are mostly new soldiers, but in terms of troops, it is only a lot more than Xiao Kaifeng......

"Really?"

"Hmm,"

Lin Xiao responded, "In addition, I have a back hand...... I plan to let Chen Qice's sailors also go to Zhancheng, to be Ding Shuai's follow-up, and to transport supplies by the way...... He can send 5,000 troops, is that enough? ”

"So? That's enough. ”

Li Tao nodded with a smile.

Indeed, although the Indochina Peninsula is not small, the armament of the local natives is really not enough, and Ding Shuai's group is out, even if he only sends Chen Qice, it is enough to set off a storm.

"As for the grain and grass,"

Lin Xiao saw that he had been convinced, and continued, "Annan's summer grain has been put into the warehouse, and the Zheng family's tribute silver and tribute grain this year will be delivered soon......

"Really? How much is he going to pay this year? ”

"According to Xiao Kaifeng, that Zheng Nahu is quite honest, according to the agreement, he plans to pay a tribute of 1.5 million taels of silver, 2 million stones of grain and rice, and 100,000 stones of soybeans this year,"

Lin Xiao changed his words and said, "However, I have already asked Xiao Kaifeng to pass the word, because he is in urgent need of money and food to prepare for the war, this year, he will only be allowed to pay a tribute of one million taels of silver, and the rice will only cost one million and fifty stones for the time being, and the rest will be left for the next year to pay tribute......

"One and a half million stones?"

Li Tao was stunned when he heard this, frowned, and said in surprise.

The silver is not in a hurry, and there is still more than half of the previous five million taels, but the amount of this grain is a little less.

At present, the Guangdong and Fujian regions are stable, but in the Jiangnan region, due to the large-scale lack of harvest of summer grain, and the maturity of autumn grain will be several months, Hong Chengchou swept away the grain stock in the official warehouse before leaving, and the phenomenon of grain shortage among the people is still relatively serious, and they are waiting for this batch of tribute grain to be rescued......

"Don't worry,"

Lin Xiao blinked slyly and said with a smile, "Attention, it's temporary...... The condition I made was that after the destruction of the Nguyen clan, in return for sending troops to help, I would take an additional three million stone ...... from the southern region."

"Really?"

Li Tao suddenly understood, looked up at Lin Xiao, shook his head and smiled, "You guy...... The abacus is really good. ”

As far as the combat strength of Xiao Kaifeng's second regiment is concerned, as long as the whole army attacks, can the Ruan clan withstand it for a few days?

Wouldn't this extra three million stones be available soon?

This deal is really cost-effective, and it can be said that it knocked Zheng Nahu hard.

Lin Xiao touched his chin, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he looked at Li Tao proudly, but did not speak.

The Ruan clan of the Southern Dynasty, but Zheng Nahu's heart is in trouble, at this time, how can he not take advantage of his psychology and take the opportunity to knock him again?

Soldiers, treacherous!

In fact, not only food, but also a more important thing, Lin Xiao held back for the time being and didn't say it.

Compared with the millions of stone grains, in fact, this matter is even more important - it involves the monitoring and containment of the Zheng clan and the lord of the city in the future.

In Lin Xiao's mind, with this move, the entire Annan Kingdom can be said to be completely in the bag, and there is no courage to rebel.

This matter is that Lin Xiao asked Xiao Kaifeng to make an additional request to the Zheng clan - in the name of maintaining the long-term peace and stability of Annan and Champang, the Ming army should be permanently stationed at the junction of the two countries!

Although Lin Xiao knew that even with such an excessive request, the Zheng clan, who was anxious to unify the Northern and Southern Dynasties, would not be able to refuse, but in order to paralyze the Zheng clan and minimize their dissatisfaction and backlash, Lin Xiao really thought carefully about the garrison location.

The location of the garrison he proposed was a small fishing village called Dongyang.

This nameless small fishing village can be said to be inconspicuous in this time and space, but near this small fishing village, there is a very barren but large nameless bay.

How could the Zheng family know that this bay was famous in later generations - Da Nang Bay.

From the perspective of future generations, Da Nang Bay is located on the edge of the South China Sea and in the middle of Vietnam, so its strategic position is very important.

Therefore, in history, it was an important port for the imperialist invasion of Vietnam.

In 1858, it was captured by the French and Spanish expeditionary forces, and since then it has been a French concession, and later, after World War II, it was occupied by Japanese and American troops until the 20th century, becoming the second largest port city in Vietnam after Ho Chi Minh City.

The sun is abundant, the weather is clear, the climate is mild, the four seasons are like spring, the tidal range in the bay is very small, the tide is weak, and the seaside beach is 30 kilometers long, which is one of the best summer resorts in Southeast Asia.

This bay is horseshoe-shaped, the mouth faces northeast, nearly 15 kilometers long from north to south, about 11 kilometers wide from east to west, the water depth is more than 10 meters, there is the Camellia Peninsula in the south of the bay mouth, there is Han Island as a barrier in the north, there are Marble Mountains and Fuxiang Mountain as a cover along the coast, the situation is dangerous, the shelter conditions are good, it is a natural excellent military port and commercial port area.

What's more, there are also gold, copper, and coal mines in the vicinity of Da Nang.

Yes, in Lin Xiao's opinion, such a treasure place, if you don't occupy it before the Annan people react, it's just sorry for the steel gun in your hand!

"Looks like you want to go to Champa yourself, right?"

Looking at the triumphant Lin Xiao, Li Tao frowned and said, "This battle is not small, not only in the Indochina Peninsula, but also in Li Dingguo's westward expedition." ”

In fact, this conversation made Li Tao's heart a little uneasy, and he didn't understand why Lin Xiao spread the stall so big.

The Qing army is still facing each other across the river, and a lot of domestic affairs have not yet been settled, but this guy wants to set his sights on the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean, and use so much manpower to do things there.

Rome was not built in a day, is this step a little too big, too urgent?

"It depends,"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Before Li Dingguo sent his troops, I didn't need to go over...... In fact, I have more important things on my plate. ”

"What's more important than that?"

Li Tao was puzzled, "Chongming Island? Shanghai? ”

"Neither,"

Lin Xiao shook his head, and pretended to be mysterious, "Shanghai will be handed over to Lao Zhou and Lao Cao, I have already explained, the Longsheng will return to Qinzhou soon to pick them up......"

"Really? That's good,"

Li Tao grinned, "I'm really too busy to run a factory." "Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
