Chapter 1237: Colonization is Good with Competition
Zhang Xiaochun's logic, as well as the way the Great Zhou Republic behaved, were very absurd in Li Qiande's opinion.
If the Great Song Dynasty sees the Great Zhou as a threat, then it should unite all forces and deal with the Great Zhou together. How can you do something that strikes first because Da Zhou covets Jiaozhi?
What kind of logic is this?
Because Da Zhou is going to be a robber, Da Song will also go with him to rob it? And they have to compare with each other to see who grabs more?
As for that Da Zhou, things are also weird, you want to rob you to rob Kaifeng Mansion! Why did you come all the way to grab the toes?
Da Zhou and Jiaozhi can join forces to grab the Great Song Dynasty, and attack from afar! As long as Jiaozhi is two wide, other territories can be given to Da Zhou!
Now it's a big deal......
Seeing that Li Qiande's face was blue and white for a while, Zhang Xiaochun said gently: "Don't think about it too much...... You can't beat the Zhou army, and the Liao Kingdom has been scattered by them, so don't think about it. Therefore, it is the best for Jiaozhi to enter my Great Song Dynasty, with the protection of the Great Song Dynasty, the people of Jiaozhi can live and work in peace and contentment, and the Li royal family will not lose its glory and wealth.
Now the warships of the Great Song Hailu City Ship Acquisition Division are in Guangzhou, and there are also many merchant ships. In a few days, the official will lead his troops to escort the king back to Thang Long Mansion. ”
Finished...... Thang Long Mansion is about to be occupied by the Song army!
Li Qiande's face was pale, and he already regretted coming to Zhaoqing Mansion a little.
He also left Empress Lan Ying in Thang Long Mansion to supervise the country, with tens of thousands of people, as well as sailors, pontoon bridges, and fireboats to block the Red River.
If the enemy attacks along the Red River, how can they resist for a while, right? It's good now, people have caught the king of the Cochin country, and they are still swaggering into Shenglong, isn't it bloodless?
Before, he dreamed of entering Zhaoqing and Guangzhou without blood, but now he has taken the foundation without blood.
"Does the imperial court want to go to Jiaozhi County?" Li Qiande still wants to fight for it again.
Even if you are a puppet, you are better than nothing!
"This is not something that this official can decide," Zhang Xiaochun smiled, "It has to be decided by the two governments and the Son of Heaven...... In addition, I have to negotiate with the Republic of Da Zhou. ”
"Negotiate what?"
"Naturally, how to divide the ......" Zhang Xiaochun paused, as if he felt that the words were inappropriate, "How to divide the country of Jiaozhi." ”
Divide, divide...... Li Qiande was about to cry. His cross-toe, you Da Song and Da Zhou discussed and divided? Is there any heavenly principle in the world?
……
"Ruan Dafu, don't get me wrong, we are not the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty, we are the republican army of the Great Zhou. We did not come to invade Da Yue, but our head of state heard that the Violent Song Dynasty intended to invade the Great Yue Kingdom, so he sent us to help the Great Yue Kingdom resist the ...... of the Violent Song Dynasty."
With gentle words, he was trembling a little and was a little older, and it was Wu Chenglan who explained that he meant.
He was the prefect of the planned Annan Prefecture of the Great Zhou, and this time he arrived on the coast of Jiaozhi with Chen Tianli, the commander of the expeditionary fleet, and Feng Jie, the commander of the 1st Marine Brigade.
They did not go to Anbangkou to anchor, but wandered around the area around the mouth of the Bac River (a tributary of the Red River) near Anbangkou. There are many bifurcations under the Red River, among which the main stream of the Red River and the Beijiang River (also known as the Taiping River, Taiping River) are the main estuary.
The land between the two rivers is triangular and is a very fertile alluvial plain, which was later called the Red River Delta.
This Red River Delta is the territory that Wuhao Gu deliberately wants to seize.
He planned to set up an Annam province in the Red River Delta as the largest stronghold of the Great Zhou in the south.
The reason for choosing the Red River Delta is, of course, because of its rich land and convenient transportation.
At this time, the Red River Delta was not as large as later generations, which had 15,000 square kilometers, 90% of which were reclaimed into rice fields, and was the most important granary in Vietnam. Today, the Red River Delta covers about 10,000 square kilometers, and fifty or sixty percent of the land has been developed into rice paddies. That is, five or six thousand square kilometers, almost nine million acres of rice fields!
This is a paddy field with two crops and three crops a year (the value of three crops is not much, and it is good to plant two crops well)! And unlike the rainy land in the south, which is generally barren, the Red River and the Taiping Army wash down a lot of sediment and minerals from the upper reaches every year, expanding the area of the Red River Delta and replenishing the land with nutrients.
Therefore, the yield of rice per mu in the Red River Delta is very high, and 9 million mu can be harvested every year.
Forty or fifty million stone rice is enough to feed the population of the entire Great Zhou Republic!
Of course, the current Great Zhou Republic is not short of food at all, and half of the 60 million acres of black soil in eastern Liaodong are enough to supply the country's population of less than 10 million. Therefore, the land of Yandi will basically be used to grow cotton and develop animal husbandry.
Grain is shipped directly from Liaodong!
However, the fact that the Great Zhou Republic did not need food does not mean that the overseas colonization of the Great Zhou did not need food.
Although Southeast Asia is a large region, there are also several famous grain-producing regions in later generations. But at present, the country of Jiaozhi that can really supply a large amount of grain and is more suitable for the Han people to live in is the country of Jiaozhi.
With food, we can feed the people and soldiers, and expand our power on a large scale!
Therefore, Wu Haogu planned to invade early on, oh, it should be to help the people of Jiaozhi against the invaders of the Great Song Dynasty.
The Great Song Dynasty wanted the entire Jiaozhi, and the Great Zhou Republic was much kinder, as long as there was a small piece of territory in the Red River Delta.
However, the local officials and township soldiers in Jiaozhi still did not appreciate the friendship of the people of the Great Zhou. After the Great Zhou fleet entered the Ninghai River, a tributary of the Taiping River, and began to build a city on the south bank of the Ninghai River, it brazenly launched an attack!
After the kind advice was ineffective, Feng Jie, the commander of the Marine Brigade from the Knight Academy, waved his army to break through the capital city of Ninghai Mansion in Jiaozhi. He also "invited" Nguyen Chung Hsien, the governor of the Cochin Kingdom, to the city of Annam, which was built with sandbags and wooden fences.
Ruan Zhongxian was of course a loyal minister of the Cochin Kingdom, and on the way to Annam Fucheng, he cried, made trouble, and went on a hunger strike, looking like he wanted to die for the Li dynasty. It annoyed Wu Chenglan and Feng Jie a little. Just as he was about to kill the old man, a clipper belonging to the Nanyang Flower Family (Hua Manshan Family) delivered a jaw-dropping message.
The 30,000-strong army led by the Dayue Emperor Li Qiande encountered a night attack by 4,000 Song troops in Huanggang Town, near Zhaoqing Prefecture......
Is there any mistake? The army of the Song Dynasty is so awesome now? 4,000 people can fight the battle of destroying the country?
And this terrible bad news saved the life of Nguyen Trung Hian, a loyal minister of Da Viet.
Because the Great Viet Kingdom will soon be gone! He, a loyal minister, will also be able to be used by the Great Zhou.
"Nonsense, the Great Song Dynasty is a state of benevolence and righteousness, how can it destroy my Great Yue Kingdom? Moreover, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are weak, and they can't destroy my Dayue Kingdom. When I arrive in Guangzhou, I will bring troops back to help, and when the time comes, ......"
"Wait, wait......" Wu Chenglan interrupted Ruan Zhongxian with a wave of his hand, "this...... Your emperor is indeed in Guangzhou now. ”
"Really? Wowhaha......"
"Don't be busy laughing, don't be busy laughing...... Your emperor was taken to Guangzhou. His army of 30,000 encountered 4,000 ironclad soldiers transferred from Kaifeng Mansion near Zhaoqing Mansion, and the whole army was wiped out in a night attack! ”
Ruan Zhongxian immediately jumped up, "Impossible, impossible, how can my 30,000 Great Yue Heavenly Soldiers not be able to defeat the 4,000 people of the weak Song Dynasty!" You are talking nonsense! ”
"Alas, how can you say that the Great Song is weak?" Wu Chenglan shook his head again and again, crossed his fingers and said, "You see, the Hehuang Tubo has been destroyed, the Western Xia has surrendered, and the Kara Uighurs have been destroyed. The Sriwijaya surrendered, the Java kingdom was destroyed, and the Great Liao kingdom was almost scattered......"
"What? The Great Liao Kingdom was defeated? Ruan Zhongxian stared at the boss with beads in his eyes, it was the first time he had heard such terrible news.
"Defeated, and broken into several!"
"Was it defeated by the Great Song?" Old man Ruan couldn't speak.
"Mostly defeated by us!" Wu Chenglan said with a smile, "However, we were the feudal town of the Great Song Dynasty before we defeated the Great Liao, so we can be regarded as defeated by the Great Song Dynasty."
But the new army of the Great Song Dynasty is definitely not weak! Otherwise, why didn't my Great Zhou attack the Great Song Dynasty closely, but instead traveled thousands of miles to the distant map...... Oh, is it here to help you guys cross? ”
Seeing that Old Man Ruan didn't speak, Wu Chenglan smiled, "Don't believe it, in a few days, the Song army should escort your emperor into the Shenglong Mansion!" The emperor has asked people to take it, can Thang Long Mansion still resist? As soon as the Song army entered Shenglong, was there still a country in Jiaozhi? ”
Old man Ruan gritted his teeth and said, "Even if the emperor is in trouble, there is still a Chongxian Marquis in our dynasty who can take on a great responsibility." ”
The Marquis of Chongxian is Li Chongde. He is also quite capable of fighting, and he fought all the way to the city of Guizhou. However, it failed to defeat Guizhou. Now that Li Qiande's entire army has been annihilated, he sees that the Song army is about to enter Thang Long by sea. What else can Li Chongde do? It's lucky to be able to bring a few thousand people back.
Hearing what Old Man Ruan said, Wu Chenglan laughed: "Marquis Chongxian can go to Ninghai Mansion to avoid trouble!" Save your life first, and then gather the old department, and then you can restore it! ”
Wu Chenglan really made a clever move, taking advantage of the collapse of Dayue to get Li Chongde, the second-in-command of the Li Dynasty, Chongxian Marquis.
With the banner of Li Chongde, the Jiaozhi Haoqiang in the Red River Delta will not rebel against the Great Zhou. If they don't resist, the Great Zhou will have a chance to integrate, so as to firmly control the Red River Delta.
"Then ......," Old Man Ruan was skeptical, "then do you have a way to bring Chongde Hou here?" ”
Wu Chenglan said with a smile: "We will send troops to pick it up!" As long as you come out of your head and say hello to the Jiaozhi State Officials along the way, explain the situation, and we can rescue the Marquis Chongxian. ”
"Then the city you built here in Ninghai Mansion ......"
Wu Chenglan said: "We will discuss this matter with the Marquis of Chongxian." ”
When Li Chongde arrived in the hands of Zhou Jun, he could only be at the mercy of him. Ninghai Mansion still has the surrounding territory belonging to the Red River Delta, and it is not in the pocket of the Great Zhou?
