Chapter 227: Yashan or East China Sea

With the transfer of raw materials by the seamaster, many fish ponds have been dug up in many mountainous areas that are not easy to cultivate, and mulberry trees are planted along the perimeter of the ponds while raising fish and storing fresh water.

Picking mulberry leaves and raising silkworms is another income, plus every large and medium-sized island with a city has a textile workshop to buy silkworm cocoons from the surrounding islands and silkworm cocoons from silkworm farmers on the shore, specializing in the production of silk.

In this way, the islands along the routes of the Yellow Sea, the Canghai Sea, the East China Sea, the Great River, the Xiangjiang River, the Pearl River, and the South China Sea at the mouth of the Yalu River are no longer deserted islands without human settlements, but have also become treasure islands that house and feed millions of people.

Now Yashan is the most important and largest island on this route, and Cao "Xing" has long wanted to take it, but the time is not enough, so he can only explore it first and plan to capture Yashan in the future.

With Yashan, two more counties will be added, and another two million people will be fed, and Hainan Island, like Rinan, will produce three seasons of grain a year.

"Han Ji, how many people can you take Yashan?"

Cao "Xing" looked at him seriously, and Lu Fan and Zhang Bai on the side were full of curiosity.

Lu Fan was even more preoccupied, and he was unable to go south to Chu County, west to the Chu River, and even stayed in the old five counties to fight against the Zhan people.

This makes Lu Fan temporarily give up a lot of his biggest dream since going south - to establish meritorious service.

As soon as he heard about the attack on Yashan, Lu Fan suddenly ignited his heart again, and looked at Cao "sex" and Han Ji with an expectant face.

"Encroaching step by step, 10,000 regular soldiers, 100,000 garrison soldiers are enough, if you want to fight down, but it can't be attacked in a few days, even if 100,000 regular soldiers are like this."

Without waiting for Lu Fan and the others to ask questions, Han Ji continued:

"It is estimated that there are no less than 100,000 people in the cliffs, mountains, seas, and aborigines, and there are many high mountains and dense forests, snakes, scorpions, poisonous insects, and miasma, and these residents occupy the most advantageous places.

They are unfamiliar with the place, and once they hide in the mountains and forests, it will be difficult for our army to do anything with them. ”

Lu Fan was lost, but Cao "sex" was nodding: "Han Ji, yes, not arrogant or impatient, it is right to seek graduality." ”

Cao "Xing" took a deep breath: "Yashan is the last habitat of the South China Sea pirates, once we settle down in Yashan, the South China Sea pirates will have no way to retreat, and then a big war is inevitable."

In war, quick victory is the upper one, and the lowest one is a protracted tug-of-war.

The pirates, the natives, or the fight for survival, are for the sake of peace.

With the backing of the mountains, you can go out of the mountains to attack, and if you don't fight, you can retreat to the mountains to take refuge, and you can rotate around with the terrain, which is for the geographical advantage. ”

When Lu Fan heard this, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and he didn't say anything anymore.

Zhang Bai on the side listened silently.

Han Ji shook his head: "That's right, therefore, it can only be eaten step by step, there may be no chance for a quick battle, and the blind pursuit of a quick battle may also be taken advantage of by the Haikou." ”

Several people chatted and chatted, and the fleet had sailed out of the strait between Xu Wen and Yashan.

Cao 'Xing' looked back at the direction of Yashan, and then raised his eyes to the north: "Han Ji, now there are only two resting places left in my Han Haikou, one is Yashan, the other is north of Jieyang, south of Chongming Island, and the East China Sea between the two.

Yashan is enough to house two million soldiers, and the East China Sea communicates with the entire Han coast, neither of which can be abandoned. ”

Cao "sex" thought about it, and felt a little headache, and he didn't know which place to take first, and after Han, Lu, and Zhang heard it.

As the governor of the East China Sea, Han Ji's perennial naval battles made him more sure of naval battles, and the remaining areas of the East China Sea were not only important, but there was no big island to hide.

The Navy Division could first annihilate the Haikou ships at sea, and then use the Navy Division and the Marine Army to gather superior forces to attack the small island where the Haikou was located.

When encountering an island that is difficult to take because of the large number of pirates, he destroys all the ships docked on the shore of the island, surrounds them with a fleet, and traps them on the isolated island.

The island's grain production was low, and they lost their income from fishing, and the pirates were also living in a hurry, and they did not have much food in stock, so in the end, they had to surrender without a fight.

Yashan is not, the land of the two counties of the big island, you want to surround the long island coastline, need sea boats, this is a big problem.

And there are many cliffs and mountains, there are many trees, and there are many rivers, you have destroyed all the ships along the coast, and the other party can rebuild, and you may concentrate your military forces at any time to sneak attack the scattered and surrounded Cao Jun Naval Division.

Yashan is rich in products and has its own system, even if they concentrate superior forces, they can't defeat the scattered and surrounded sea divisions, they can still stay on the island and continue to live, and no matter how long they are besieged, there will be no crisis of running out of food.

Therefore, Han Ji proposed to take the sea route first.

And Lu Fan, as a land infantry general, is more familiar with Yashan, and his proposal is that the remnants of the East China Sea Kou cannot pose a threat, so it is better to attack Yashan first, the battle of Yashan has a long way to go, and an early attack can be taken as soon as possible, so that Yashan can become the residence of two million soldiers as soon as possible.

The proposal of the two people, each with its own strengths, is not equal, and the remaining East China Sea area will be completely connected to the coast of China.

The war in the Central Plains in the north is chaotic again, and it is wave after wave, after Zhang Chun Zhang Ju, the changes of the Baibo army and the Xiongnu will not be far away.

And in more than a year, six years after entering Zhongping, Emperor Ling of Han will also end his young life.

In this way, the number of refugees and displaced people in the north will be increased by tens of millions, and a cliff mountain to house two million soldiers has become the top priority.

And it is also a great opportunity to develop Yashan, the homeland is difficult to leave, and after the peace, it will be difficult to move the population into Yashan.

Cao "Sex" only felt a headache, and it was difficult to choose for a while, at this time, Gong Du moved a free chair with full eyesight, and Cao "Sex" waved his hand: "Give the three generals three Maza!" ”

Gong Du had already prepared, the righteous servants on the side, unfolded Maza, Cao "sex" asked the three of them to sit down, and then lay comfortably in the free chair, with a light touch of his feet, and then his feet off the ground, the free chair swayed back and forth, and Cao "sex" moved with it.

This back and forth swaying made Cao's "sexual" body relax very well, and even the brain that was tangled was also relaxed.

Thinking that there was still one who hadn't spoken yet, he asked, "Zhang Bai, tell me your opinion!" ”

Han Ji and Lu Fan both looked at Zhang Bai, the commander of the tun, but he could sit with them, the military Sima and the captain.

Zhang Bai was nervous by the two high-ranking officials, but a few breaths, dense fine sweat, occupied his entire face.

Cao "sex" on the side did not say words of encouragement this time, relying on everyone to run, relying on the mountains and mountains, and only he could untie the psychological package.

Han Ji and Lu Fan were disappointed, and Lu Fan, who was not familiar with them, even "revealed" his suspicion.

After a stalemate for about a cup of tea, Cao "sex" was shaking and almost falling asleep, and then Zhang Bai finally suppressed the tension in his heart: "Hui, Hui, lord, the end, the end will ......"
