Three days later, in the lobby of the Swallow Mansion on Yakushima; Feng Huan, Zhao Ge, Xiao Jinghuan, Zhou Tao, Zhou Hai, Zhou Yang and others were all there, and behind Li Qing hung a huge map of the southeast coast of the Great Song Dynasty, which clearly marked the strength of the Song army stationed in various places, and also marked several routes for the Xia army to reach the coast of the Great Song Dynasty from Yakushima.

"Generals, this sea-crossing operation will open up a new battlefield for our Great Xia Empire, we can only win this battle, not lose, and defeat will wipe out the entire army." Li Qing said to the generals; "There is a proverb in the Great Song Dynasty called 'Suhu Lake is ripe for the world'; it means that an important grain producing area in the Great Song Dynasty is located in Suzhou and Huzhou on the edge of Taihu Lake, and this is the inexhaustible granary of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also our goal this time, but it is not so simple to take here; General Feng, you can introduce the specific situation to you."

Feng Frame came to the map and pointed at it with a baton and said: "According to our report, 150,000 of the 200,000 forbidden troops of the Song army stationed in Jiangning Mansion have gone north, leaving only 50,000 soldiers and horses; However, in the Jiangnan Navy camp east of Jiangning Prefecture, there are still 100,000 sailors and nearly 1,000 warships of the Song army, and in the area of Changguo Islands, the Song army also has 50,000 sailors and more than 300 warships; In addition, the Song army also had defenders in Huzhou, Suzhou, Xiuzhou, Hangzhou, Changzhou, Runzhou, and Guangde Military Town, and the strength and combat power of these defenders are not clear to us;

Moreover, this area is a densely populated area of the Great Song Dynasty, with nearly three million households, and according to the calculation of one strong man per household, the Song army has three million soldiers, even if they can only be armed with two percent, that is, 500,000 soldiers and horses, so that the total strength of the Song army that we may have to face at that time is at least more than 700,000 ......."

Feng Huanyi said such a number, everyone took a breath of cool air, more than 700,000 troops is not a small number, even if these Song troops are a rabble, they can't kill these more than 100,000 Xia troops to death! Once the Xia army enters here to fight, it is very likely that it will fall into the people's naval battle of the Great Song Dynasty, after all, the Xia army is here to grab food, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty will definitely resist desperately, which is not to be considered.

"What's wrong? Scared to hear this? Li Qing asked everyone.

Zhao Ge said to Li Qing: "Lord Wang, the brothers are not afraid, but the strength of the Song army is too much, shouldn't we also increase some soldiers and horses!" ”

"It's too late, now the northern coast must be frozen, and our sea ships can't dock at all." Li Qing said to everyone.

"Then why don't we change places, anyway, it's to grab food, and it's not the same wherever we grab it!" Xiao Jinghuan suggested.

"The attack on the Suhu area is a consideration, this is not only an important production area of the Great Song Dynasty, but also the most developed area of industry and commerce in the Great Song Dynasty, and an important source of taxes for the Great Song Dynasty, and a large number of sea ships come and go from here every day;

This king knows that we will not be able to occupy this place for a long time, after all, we are alone, but if we can destroy this place, we can not only rob the Great Song Dynasty of wealth and destroy a tax-paying place of the Great Song Dynasty, but also use this wealth to increase our war potential;

Therefore, even if all of our more than 100,000 troops are killed in this battle, it is worth it, the goal of this battle is to burn, kill, rob, and plunder, this king does not pick his mouth and wants everything, food, drink, clothing, use, and women of appropriate age; Tell the brothers, as long as they don't kill each other, this time the king will not use military discipline to demand them;

But there is a rule that all the captured things must be handed over uniformly, and the king will give 10% to his father and the emperor to distribute to all the brothers who participated in this battle, and if he unfortunately dies in battle, his share will be sent to their parents, wives and children, and General Feng will draw up a rule of rewards and punishments according to his military exploits and duties in these two days and proclaim the whole army. ”

"Yes, the last general ...... order"

Feng Frame continued: "The prince has another problem, this battle will definitely capture a lot of baggage, but we can't transport all these things back, it will take ten days to go back and forth from Yakushima to the Great Song Dynasty, and it will waste a lot of time if we all transport them back at once." ”

"That's right, so before we can occupy an island off the coast of the Great Song Dynasty, this place can't be too close to the coastline of the Great Song Dynasty, but it can't be too far away, and at the same time we have to ensure its safety; This king chose to choose only this island, which is located in the north of the Changguo Islands (Zhoushan Islands), and the area is not small, which is the most suitable for our army's transit point; By the way, does this island have a name? Li Qing pointed to the map and said.

"Lord Yu, the locals call it Shengsi Island (Sijiaoshan Island), the end of this island will send people to go before, there are only a few dozen families on the island, the whole island city runs east-west, there are four large reefs in the north of the island, a wharf can be established in the northwest of the island, and the whole island is fifty miles around, this area can basically meet our use ......" Feng Frame introduced to Li Qing.

Feng Frame knew this so much to Li Qing, which made Li Qing feel very gratified, which showed that Feng Frame had not been idle during this time, and even Feng Frame and Li Qing thought of going together; As soon as Feng Huan's voice fell, Zhou Hai said: "Lord Wang, our army is short of troops, and there is a way to reach the end." ”

"What do you say?"

"Lord Yu, although we have an army of 140,000, but this does not include the servant army of the Wa State, if we add the servant army of the Wa State, we can increase at least 80,000 people, and the population of the Wa State is also quite a lot, and it is not a problem to arm two or three hundred thousand people." Zhou Hai said to Li Qing.

Li Qing frowned when he heard Zhou Hai's words, and Li Qing just said about this matter: "This matter will be considered by the king, let's discuss the specific battle plan below......

After everyone finished discussing, Li Qing took Zhao Ge to the back garden of the palace alone, Li Qing said to Zhao Ge: "This king wants to be quiet alone, you go down first!" ”

"Yes, the last will retire......"

Li Qing was very tempted by Zhou Hai's suggestion, and it didn't matter at all that the Japanese people died when they died, but Li Qing also had concerns; When Li Qing was still overseas, Li Bingchang once told Li Qing not to let the Japanese people step into the mainland for half a step, and also let them kill each other on the island, if Li Qing sent the Japanese people to the island, it would be tantamount to disobeying Li Liangzuo's Shengyu, which was a capital crime to kill the head.

But if you don't use Japanese soldiers, the Xia army will have to deal with the enemy independently, which will inevitably increase casualties, which is the last thing Li Qing wants to see, each of the sailors and soldiers who come out is Li Qing's baby and one less dead, and Li Qing will not get any troop support before the beginning of spring next year, so Li Qing must reduce the casualties of the troops.

After thinking about it and weighing it, Li Qing finally made a decision, and Li Qing shouted, "Come on." ”

Zhao Ge, who had been waiting outside, came in and saluted Li Qing and said, "What does the prince command?" ”

"Send someone to the Wa Kingdom, and Tsudahisa Shimashima, Masao Yamashita, and Jiro Kitano will come to see the king." Li Qing ordered.

"Yes, the last general will send someone to do it."

Li Qing didn't know that he had committed Li Liangzuo's taboo this time, which also affected Li Qing's future prospects......

The second is more presented, and there is a ticket to support it, Tianyu is grateful......
