Ye Tong knew in his heart that the biggest difficulty in Han Xin's army marching south was the climate, plus there were many beasts, moths, poisonous snakes, etc. in the tropical jungle, and the environmental conditions were extremely poor, so it was difficult to reduce the number of troops due to climate reasons. The real indigenous tribes, still in the Stone Age, could not resist the conquest of large armies.

Han Xin said: "General, the southern expedition will be postponed, during this time, I have walked around the jurisdiction of Zhao Tuo, some areas have thick jungles, high humidity, and many moths, so we must let the soldiers adapt to the climate before they can go on the expedition." ”

"No problem, General Ben didn't let you go on the expedition immediately, but said that the target of the expedition, the specific time of birth, you can determine it yourself, but you must report it to the military cabinet and make all kinds of preparations before the expedition, especially medicines, weapons and equipment for jungle warfare."

"Yes!"

"By the way, during the southern expedition, where the army conquered, it was necessary to build access roads, anyway, the civilized schools had labor, and the roads must be repaired.

Only when the roads are repaired will the people of the empire be willing to plant rubber trees, tropical fruits, and grain. The Southern Region is definitely a treasure land, with a better climate than many parts of the empire and more suitable for agricultural production. ”

Once the expedition was completed and the roads were clear, Ye Tong ordered to greet the officials at the village and township levels, and asked them to take the local people to the south to lease land for agricultural production such as grain, rubber, and fruits. Lease directly on a village-by-village basis.

Ye Tong also didn't have the energy to relocate the people to the past, the empire was so large, with a population of more than 30 million, and there was no shortage of land itself, if he wanted to mobilize the people to live in those places, he would definitely not work. The best way to do this is to lease the land on a village-by-village basis.

Han Xin asked: "General, there is no problem in building roads, the key is to see what specifications of roads are built, if it is only to build dirt roads, there is no need to tell at all, the army must build roads wherever it goes." ”

The road can't be developed if it can't be laid, so why not lay down the ground? It takes so much energy to develop and utilize.

"Nope! Cement pavement should be built at one time, at least above the third grade pavement, or even the second grade pavement. Cement and other building materials, the general will order everyone to invest in the construction of cement factories and stone factories here.

In addition, exploration experts and road experts will be sent to accompany the army. When the southern expedition was made, don't look at those tribes as indigenous, hehe.

General Ben tells you that those indigenous tribes are very rich, and they store a large amount of jade, gold, silver, and countless rare forests, and the harvest of the southern expeditionary army will definitely not be small. ”

Kui Che said: "My lord, I heard General Han say that the area of the Southern Expedition is very large, and it will be fought all the way to the sea, how big is it!" ”

"Lao Kuai, how big it is, General Ben can't say it well, I only know that it's big, but the environment is really bad, there is basically no transportation, and we have to rely on our own development."

Lin Xiao said: "General, the base in the South China Sea is basically settled, and a port is being built, that place is really a natural harbor, and it is estimated that it can be completed in half a year." ”

"The naval base is not just a South China Sea base, it is also necessary to build a base on Wanwan Island, and it is also necessary to build a base here in Nanhai County. When Han Xin's army marched south, he also had to build a naval base on the territory he had won.

Also, in the next step, the navy's expedition targets are the four islands discovered by Xu Fu in the east. The four men of our island were all thrown into the school of civilization, never to be released, and worked until they died of old age.

Women? Escorted back to the Central Plains and assigned to the people as wives. The empire lacks population, and the people must have more children. In the next step, the empire is ready to introduce a policy to encourage childbirth, and all children born will be paid for by the empire, and any school will be free. ”

Burst!

Shock!

Stirring!

Fan Zeng smiled and said: "Lord, your decision, it is estimated that Xiao He will scold people again after hearing it." ”

Whoa!

A group of people laughed, and everyone knew that Xiao He was very dead in pinching money, and it was too difficult to ask for money from Xiao He! Very difficult!

Ye Tong smiled bitterly: "There is no way, the population of the empire is too small, and there is a lack of labor!" ”

Zhou Yu asked, "General, what about the navy's targets after the four islands are taken?" ”

Hehe!

After a battle, Zhou Yu was finally promoted to the commander of the division, and he was able to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to the battle; I am glad in my heart! For the expedition, Zhou Yu is very much looking forward to it.

Ye Tong asked Neiwei to unfold the map, pointed to the sea area southeast of Wanwan Island and said: "In that sea area, there are tens of thousands of islands, and the two largest islands are very large in area, and there are a lot of mineral resources in them, especially the copper ore that is particularly scarce in the empire, which is very rich there.

From there to the south, there are tens of thousands of islands, and further south, more islands will appear, and even a continent the size of the empire will appear, which is even more resource-rich, and within ten years, these islands and the Great Qin Empire must be completely controlled.

In the future, minerals in the core area of the empire will not be mined, and all minerals will be mined from non-core areas for the use of the empire. ”

As soon as Ye Fairy Tale finished speaking, the eyes of both army and navy officials were shining, and they were extremely excited. The army knows that the navy alone cannot eat so much land, and in the end, the army needs to come out. Therefore, after hearing that there are so many targets for conquest, it is strange that you can not be happy.

Han Xin asked in confusion: "General, where is our sea!" ”

Hehe!

Only Zhou Yu knew about this, and no one else had really heard of it.

"The sea to the east of the empire was named by General Ben: our sea, which can also be called the Yan Yellow Sea. The Yanhuang Sea is very huge and can be divided into the Yanhuang North Sea, the Yanhuang South Sea, and the Yanhuang East Sea.

In the easternmost part of our sea, there is a land larger than the Imperial Continent, and General Ben first named our Eastern Continent, also known as the Yanhuang Eastern Continent.

The southernmost continent is called our South Continent, and it can also be called the Yanhuang South Continent.

The other tens of thousands of islands will be named after the conquest, and they will be named after soldiers and generals based on military merits. ”

Zhou Yu asked, "General, what about the west?" ”

Hehe!

"The west is also very large, but there are several countries there that are very powerful and populous, and for twenty years, the empire will not be able to conquer, and can only plunder wealth in the form of trade, and the territory will not be thought about for the time being.

Of course, to the west outside the Yumen Pass, the empire must also conquer again and drive the Huns to the west. However, it will not be too far away, and it will depend on the population base of the empire. After the conquest, no one can plant it! ”

Han Xin asked: "General, when will the Northern Expedition and the last general go out, it is best to stagger with the General's Northern Expedition, so that the pressure on the cabinet will be less." ”

"Next year! General Ben is ready to use two years to completely solve the Xiongnu problem. The climate in the north was too cold, and the expedition was equally difficult. The issue of supply, in particular, was very difficult. ”

The generals present were full of blood and high morale. Under the encouragement and leadership of Ye Tong, the Qin Empire has changed from a defensive national policy to an offensive defense.

Ye Tong has always told the staff officers of the military pavilion that the best defense is to attack, put the fire of war in another house and burn it, not let the war endanger the people of the empire, and must completely destroy the other party outside the border.

In fact, no matter what kind of war, it is all supported by Ye Tong personally. Relying on the little tax revenue of the cabinet, it was simply impossible to support the expedition of the Qin Imperial Army.

The navy, from warships to personnel, weapons and equipment, is basically armed by Ye Tong at his own expense. The Cabinet did not take a single steel coin. To be honest, sometimes Ye Tong feels that the investment in the navy is too great. However, the Navy will focus on strengthening the branches of the armed forces in the future, and it will not work if it is not supported!

The same is true for the army, from weapons, soldiers to supplies, it is all out of Ye Tong's pocket. The good seeds provided to the people every year, when the people returned, they were all divided by the cabinet, and Ye Tongmao didn't get any of them.

Ye Tong doesn't care, the purpose is to go home, just pay! As long as you can lead this planet into a second-level civilization and a third-level civilization, you can go home smoothly.

Of course, if you want to enter the second-level civilization, you must go through the starry sky battle, destroy countless races in the starry sky, and make them become slaves of the empire, this is the law of the starry sky, and if you fail, you will become the slave of the other party.

At this moment, the internal guard crashed in and reported: "General, the trial of the criminal department has come down, and Zhao Tuo's family is located." All members of the three ethnic groups are admitted to civilized schools for re-education and are never allowed to be released, regardless of whether they are male or female.

The trials of some of Zhao Tuo's descendants and generals have also ended, and more than 20 people have been sentenced to death, and their family members have been sentenced to prison terms ranging from three to 10 years. ”

Oh!

"The criminal department is not slow!"

Ye Tong understood in his heart that Xiao He was killing chickens to show monkeys, the purpose was to deter some people with ulterior motives and make them put away their unrealistic ideas.

Fan Zeng said: "At this time, it is appropriate to be ruthless, the country needs stability, there can be no more chaos, only peace, the empire can have the energy to conquer and develop." ”

The sentence of the criminal department is considered light, if it is during the original Qin Empire, it is definitely the destruction of the three clans, it is the real destruction, it is to cut off the head, and no one will be spared. Now, the Ministry of Punishment only sentences a few years in prison, and they can be released after serving the sentence, which is really light. You know, it's a rebellion and a judgment of the country!

It is a pity that Zhao Tuo hung up and did not stand trial. Ye Tong wanted to see what Zhao Tuo's face was when he was tried. Independently called the king and the emperor.

Ye Tong thought for a while and said: "Han Xin, when you go on an expedition to the south, it is best to bring the merchants, and when the time comes, the seized materials will be easy to deal with, and they will be sold to the merchants locally, without the army being responsible for transporting them." It's just that the price is slightly lower. ”

"Okay!"

It was precisely because of the merchants brought with them during the expedition that the Qin Empire not only liked the expedition and supported the expedition, but the merchants also fully supported the expedition. After all, there are interests, and everyone is willing to do so.

The people also like that every time they go on a campaign, the military will take out a large amount of captured materials and sell them to the people at a low price. Especially some cows, horses and the like, very cheap. The most exciting thing for the people is to send a wife, you only need to spend 20 yuan, you can buy a wife, can the people not be happy?

The next day, Ye Tong took Fan Zeng and five hundred internal guards to say goodbye to Han Xin, Kuaiche and others, boarded the naval warship, and prepared to return from the sea.

The road back from land is difficult and hard. Ye Tong decided to return from the sea and faster.

Along the way, Ye Tong and Fan Zeng chatted, and Ye Tong sighed: "Old Fan, Jiangdong is still backward, and we must strengthen development, otherwise we will really be left behind by other regions." ”
