I took off my armor and took a shower, which was finally much more refreshing. It was already mid-March www.biquge.info the pen "Fun", the weather was warm, and I was still sweating profusely while wearing iron armor and basking in the sun and climbing the mountain.

After the battle, the summary was sent, and in the three-day battle, the Goguryeo defenders lost more than 1,700 people killed and more than 1,400 were seriously wounded. This was already a very heavy casualty situation, but there were still many prisoners, nearly 10,000 prisoners.

There was not much loot seized in the city, that is, some grain, some livestock, and nothing else.

"What about our casualties?"

Li Chao asked the disciple Wei Chi Baolin who came to report it.

"We have no casualties, so far, 71 people have been killed, more than 30 seriously wounded, and more than 100 lightly wounded." 8,000 people besieged Beisha City, broke the city and annihilated nearly 10,000 enemies, but only killed and wounded more than 100 people.

"Field hospitals are already working hard to treat wounded soldiers."

Although this siege force came from Li Chao's Yue Wang Guards and the marines of the aristocratic privateer fleet, Li Chao still set up a field hospital with the army, and brought a lot of military doctors and medicines with the army.

Nowadays, there is a special medical school in Hanjing City, which invites imperial doctors and some famous folk doctors to give lectures and train doctors, including a special military medical department. The doctors in the military medical department are mainly doctors trained for the army, and they are still in charge of surgery. In particular, battlefield first aid is much more professional than traditional doctors.

"Pauline, I'm leaving in two days, and I'm going to leave it to you here."

Yu Chi Baolin was a little surprised, "Give it to me?" ”

"Well, Beisha City is very important, a place where soldiers must fight, and only by defending Beisha City can we defend Liaonan. Moreover, controlling Beisha City can also threaten the southern end of the thousand-mile Great Wall of the Goguryeo people. I have already submitted a report to Your Majesty to establish the Anton Protectorate in Beisha City, and you will be the Protector of Anton, and you will be stationed in Beisha in the future and be responsible for the strategy of Liaodong. ”

Li Chao's earliest six disciples of the military family, the eldest disciple Su Dingfang, has now been crowned king and served as the protector of the capital of Zhenbei. Cheng Chumo is also already a county duke and serves as the protector of Zhennan, and Cui Yan is also a county duke and serves as the protector of Annan.

Now, Li Chao deliberately handed over Beisha City to Yu Chi Baolin, and he served as the protector of Anton.

Yu Chi Baolin has been with him for a few years, and her ability is not weak. Beisha City is the northern gateway of Li Chao's fiefdom in southern Liaoning, and it must be handed over to a person who can rest assured of himself, he is still the eldest son of Wei Chigong, and he will be recommended to this position, and the emperor will definitely agree.

"The combined fleet and the marines are handed over to you, and it won't be long before the imperial court will definitely send sailors and officers and soldiers to garrison them. I will also arrange for someone to come over to run Lushun and Dalian, and I will ask you to take care of it at that time. ”

Yu Chi Baolin took over this arrangement, "Please rest assured, teacher." ”

Li Chao smiled and patted him on the shoulder, this disciple has grown longer and more horizontal in the past few years, and he has slowly become more and more similar to Yu Chigong.

"It may take five years for the imperial court to fully conquer Liao, and before that, it is mainly based on raids, and you are also a great responsibility as the protector of Anton. However, this is also an excellent opportunity, if you can perform well in these five years, and fight this battle well, then it is also the time to build meritorious deeds. ”

"How many people is the teacher going to take south?" Yu Chi Baolin asked.

"When I leave, I will take the Li family's ship with me, and the Li family's crew and marines will naturally take it with me, and the rest will be left."

There are many ships of the Li family, even if you put aside the South China Sea Trading Company and Baodao Commercial Bank, which are partners with others, Li Chao also has a fleet that is completely subordinate to the Li family. This is a new fleet that began to be formed last year, and it was originally designed to run Liaodong and rob the Goguryeo people along the way while trading.

By now, the fleet has ten ships. Ten three-masted ships, all equipped with naval guns, have more than 100 naval guns, and 800 marines.

"We also have four big boats at home, so let's take them with the teacher." Yu Chi Baolin said.

Li Chao shook his head, it doesn't take too many people to go to South Vietnam. Ten warships are enough, and it is enough to rent some cargo ships to transport his more than 3,000 Yue Wang guards, and there is no need to use the ships of the Wei Chi family at all. Although all of his disciples have a few big boats and hundreds of people, Li Chao is in South Vietnam, and he still doesn't plan to be so ostentatious.

"The Vietnamese Hou went north this time, the fleet unloaded the cargo, and by the way, a batch of goods went south, and my guard happened to be on his ship at that time."

After Yu Chi Baolin retreated, Li Chao sat there pondering.

Beisha City has been taken, with Wei Chi Baolin in charge, and the Li family can start operating with confidence in the future. The southern part of Liaoning is not small, and there are several islands around, so there is a lot of room for development here. In particular, there are two good ports of Lushun and Dalian, which are close to Dengzhou, a large port in the north, whether it is to Dengzhou or Youji, or Liaoxi, it is very close.

Lushun and Dalian are very promising as commercial ports.

But also to develop shipbuilding and fishing here.

All that is needed now is to arrange for the steward to come over, and then recruit artisan workers to come.

Li Chao had ten boats of his own, and Zhang Zhongjian had more than thirty boats, which was enough to transport all his people away.

His own fleet was about more than 1,000 people, and the guards brought by Hanjing had more than 3,000 people, plus doctors, craftsmen and other accompanying personnel, a total of nearly 5,000 people.

That's all he was going to South Vietnam.

Li Chao combined this army into the South Vietnamese Escort Brigade, which had three regiments and a brigade headquarters battalion. There are three battalions per regiment, and one battalion has three companies. Three rows in a row. The three-three system was adopted, which was not only to adapt to the use of firearms, but also to distinguish it from the regular army of the imperial court.

Five thousand people, Li Chao pinched his chin, this is not a dispensable force, this is a very strong force. The emperor originally gave Li Chao 3,000 people, but later Li Chao asked for more than 300 officers and non-commissioned officers to serve as the backbone of this army.

And Li Shimin seemed to want to show his generosity to Li Chao and allow Li Chao to bring his guards to fight South Vietnam. Even in terms of armament, it tried its best to meet Li Chao's requirements.

In the eyes of the emperor, it was only 5,000 people, and more than 3,000 were still the army of the imperial court, and it was impossible for Li Chao to turn the sky. Since Li Chao was asked to fight South Vietnam by himself, he, the emperor, always had to show some support.

Li Chao was thinking that there were ships and people, guns and cannons, swords, guns, bows and crossbows, and an army of 5,000 people, which was enough for Li Chao to carve out a piece of his own world on the Indochina Peninsula.

The Zhenla Kingdom was originally a vassal state of the Funan Kingdom, and the Jifu tribe in the north began to rise and expand its power. Princess Zhenla married the prince of Funan as his wife, and after the death of King Zhenla, Princess Zhenla succeeded to the throne as King Zhenla.

Soon, the king of Funan died, and the king of Chenla, who was born as the prince of Funan, wanted to serve as the king of Funan, and clashed with the prince of Fuguo, and the king of Zhenla raised troops, and the two countries exchanged troops.

Zhenla itself has a large territory, but it is also full of tribes, and now it is at war with the former suzerain, Funanguo, and the two sides are inseparable.

In today's Indochina Peninsula, the northern region of Vietnam in later generations, is the Jiaozhou of the Tang Dynasty. In the northern part of Laos in later generations, it was Zhenla. In later generations, southern Laos, southern Vietnam, and Cambodia were Funan.

In the central region of Vietnam in later generations, it was the state of Lam Ngup.

The three kingdoms of Chenla, Linyi, and Funan are the three powerhouses in this region, and there are many small states in the middle, which are basically vassal states of the three countries.

The Indochina Peninsula is very muddy now, but for Li Chao, this is the right time.

Although the Tang Dynasty dominates the world, it actually does not have strong control over the south. Especially in the south bank of the middle of the Yangtze River, especially in the area of Hunan and Guizhou in later generations, there were still many barbarians and bureaucrats at this time.

Although the imperial court has also set up state counties, its control is actually very weak, especially in the Wuling area, that is, at the junction with Jiangxi, Hunan, and Liangguang, the mountains of Wuling are all barbarians.

Even in the land of Liangguang, in fact, the imperial court only has a stronger control over some places along the coast, such as Guangzhou and other places. The rest of the country was also the territory of the South Vietnamese ministries.

For example, at this time, the most powerful person in the Liangguang region was Feng An, the Duke of Yueguo.

Feng was originally a descendant of Feng Hong, the monarch of Northern Yan during the Sixteen Kingdoms, and Feng Hong could not bear to surrender to the Northern Wei Dynasty, so he fled to Goguryeo and sent his son Feng Ye to lead 300 people across the sea to return to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After the fall of the Northern Yan, Feng Ye stayed in Panyu (now Guangzhou, Guangdong), and Feng Ye's grandson, Feng Rongshi, served as the assassin of Liangluo Prefecture in the Southern Dynasty. Feng Rong's son, Feng Bao, married Mrs. Xian, the daughter of the Yue family surnamed Xijia in Gaoliang, Lingnan, and thus became the leader of the Yue people in the Gaoliang area.

The land of Lingnan has always been controlled by Baiyue, since the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Han people have continued to expand to the south, but the land of Lingnan is remote, so Baiyue has always been powerful.

During the Southern and Sui Dynasties, Mrs. Xian married the Feng family, and the marriage between Baiyue and the Han wealthy family made the Xian and Feng families the actual controllers of Lingnan.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Feng Ang controlled more than 20 states in Lingnan, although he finally did not listen to the advice of his subordinates and established himself as the king of Nanyue, but after returning to the Tang Dynasty, he was still the leader of the Lingnan Baiyue and Han Hao clans.

Although it is powerful and not kingly, its prestige and influence cannot be underestimated.

Among the Lingnan Baiyue, the strongest power is the slang bureaucracy. Slang, the ancient Luo Yue, the Zhuang clan of later generations.

In the records of the Central Plains Dynasty, Baiyue is also known as slang, divided into slang, bureaucracy, barbarian and other clans. Slang, mainly distributed in the southwest coastal areas south of Guangzhou, Guangdong Province and the southeast of Guangxi.

The wing, also known as the fang, is distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Yunnan nobles and other places.

Barbarian is distributed in Hubei, Hunan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places.

Although Baiyue has been attached to the Central Plains Dynasty since the Qin and Han dynasties, in fact, the Central Plains Dynasty has always been a fetters to Baiyue. The leaders of each tribe were appointed as assassins and other officials, and symbolically paid tribute, so the actual control was very weak.

When the Southern Dynasty arrived in the Sui Dynasty, the slang fangs often rebelled and did not often obey.

In the Liangguang region, Feng Ang is now the most powerful, but if it is subdivided, it can be divided into the slang fang represented by the Gaozhou Feng family, and the slang fang represented by the Chen family in Luzhou.

The Feng family married the Xian family, and their branch also divided into the Li bureaucracy, while the Chen branch divided into the Yao bureaucracy.

Especially now Lingnan is isolated from Guangzhou, and several important roads into Guangdong and Fujian through Jiangxi in later generations have not yet been opened, so the inland is almost isolated from the road to Lingnan, and only the coastal area of Lingnan is slightly controlled by the imperial court.

"It turns out that there is already a king of Nanyue." Li Chao smiled and shook his head.

Feng An, although there has been no rebellion since this person returned to the Tang Dynasty in history, in Lingnan, the Feng family and the Chen family do have a bit of a taste of holding the sky with one hand.

Feng An, the Duke of Yue, Li Chao, the King of Yue, one mountain and two tigers.

I went to Zhenla's territory to fight the world, I hope Feng An, the king of Lingnan, will not get along with him!
