Chapter 825: Northward Advance by Sea
Zhang Wanqing really wants to leave Songpu City now, Ivan Town can't go, can't he still go to Saga Town? But Zhang Wanqing is not easy to say now, not only to damage his face, but also to damage the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, this is a great crime of humiliating the country, if it is not done well, it will be stinky for 10,000 years, and it will be disgraced and thrown abroad.
"Zhang Langzhong, please relax, it's just a few clowns who jump off the beam, and the concubine will order someone to lead the troops to suppress it!" Aoi Hime said murderously.
Zhang Wanqing felt that at this moment, Kui Ji had turned into a fierce lioness, and there was still a little bit of the grace and luxury of the noble lady, and the majestic momentum could be seen at a glance.
"Rebellious ministers and thieves are indeed punished by everyone!"
Zhang Wanqing was also angry in his heart, the affairs of the Wa Kingdom had a dime to do with him, but now that someone is blocking his way, it has something to do with him.
Aoi Ji's tone changed, and she said with self-love and self-pity: "Let Zhang Langzhong smile, it happened suddenly, and I can only ask Zhang Langzhong to stay in Songpu City for a few more days." ”
What else can Zhang Wanqing say, that is, now that Kwai Ji lets herself go, she can't risk her life!
"This incident, the official is also heartbroken, it seems that the guardian position of the lady's son is being peeped into by others, which is the source of turmoil in the Hizen country, after the official returns to Karatsu Port, he will definitely inform Kibi Zhenbei of this matter, and persuade Kibi Zhenbei to appoint the guardian position as soon as possible!"
Kwai Ji bowed slightly, the two sides were polite, and Zhang Wanqing returned to his residence extremely depressed.
"Those daimyo have really taken over the town of Ivan!" Zhen Qian asked with some disbelief while holding Kwai Ji while teasing the baby in his arms.
Aoi Ji looked coquettish, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's not that I want Lang Jun to stay in Matsuura City for a few more days, and the concubine body asked Yamamoto Fifty-six to give up Ivan Town, but I didn't expect those daimyo to really send troops to occupy Ivan Town when they saw the situation, and the concubine body also wanted to take advantage of this matter and let that Zhang Wanqing say a few kind words in front of Kibi Zhenbei." ”
Zhen Qian knew that things would not be so simple, the Feiqian Kingdom did not have many troops, but it also had eight thousand, which was considered the top combat power among the surrounding daimyos, and it was impossible to suddenly occupy Ivan Town.
The reason why Zhen Qiancai equipped the Hizen Kingdom with 8,000 soldiers was because the Hizen Kingdom could not support too many soldiers, but would become a drag on the Wufeng Islands, and on the other hand, because too many troops would cause the jealousy of other forces.
Zhen Qian's finger lightly tapped on Kwai Ji's pretty nose, and said with a little amusement: "Ivan Town is Rui'er's territory, don't you feel distressed if you break it?" ”
"Distressed, of course distressed!"
Aoi Ji no longer has the original youth, and now she is becoming more and more rich and compelling, and there is a momentum of a superior person between her gestures.
"Now the situation in Hizen Country is surging, and those daimyo in the past have jumped out to pick peaches after they have been dormant, especially the daimyo of the surrounding Lingyu Kingdom, who have received the secret support of Fujiwara Nakamaro, and their strength is becoming stronger and stronger, and if they want to take advantage of the chaos to attack Hizen Country, if they don't take the opportunity to use thunder methods, I'm afraid there will never be a peaceful day."
Now the strength of Hizen Country is not afraid of any side, but the hidden enemy is like a lurking poisonous snake, I don't know when it will jump out and sneak attack itself, but it is better to show the enemy weakness, so that those daimyo jump more jubilantly, just in one go.
"Pay attention to proportion, it is impossible for Hizen to be enemies with all the big names, what Hizen needs now is to recuperate, as long as it does not touch the interests of Hizen, it is also a strategy to stop in moderation!" Zhen Qian said worriedly.
Eight thousand soldiers said that it was too much, and it was a lot less, and if the entire Saikaido was in chaos again, this little force would not be able to hold Hizen Province at all.
Zhen Qian hopes that the West Sea Road will be chaotic, but it will not be a big chaos, it is easy to be fished in troubled waters, and it is the long-term way to win over some daimyo and suppress some daimyo in a timely manner.
Kwai Ji gave up Ivan Town, although it had the intention of delaying Zhang Wanqing's trip, but the most important thing was to deter those big names with evil intentions, and to send troops to attack in a justifiable manner, this kind of political trick has exceeded the scope of Zhen Qian's understanding, and it also made Zhen Qian feel a lot more at ease about the safety of Hizen Kingdom.
"I have built a military camp on Pinglu Island, and there are 30,000 new troops in it, if the situation in Saikaido deteriorates, you and Rui'er will retreat there!"
During the war in the West Sea Road, the number of co-operative troops under Zhen Qian's control increased explosively, with as many as 40,000 and still increasing rapidly. For security reasons, the military camp of the Xiecong Army had to be moved from the Wufeng Islands to Pinglu Island in the Feiqian Kingdom, on the one hand, it was separated from the military camp of the Wufeng Islands, and on the other hand, Zhen Qian was ready to use this Xiecong Army to fight everywhere.
Naturally, it would not require so many co-subordinate troops to control the first island chain in the south, and after the war between the Wa Kingdom and the Silla Kingdom, it was impossible for a major war to break out in a short period of time.
However, Zhen Qian's eyes had long been fixed on the northern region of the Wa Kingdom and the Bohai Kingdom, which would be the place where the Xiecong Army would fight in the future, and it was also a chess piece that Zhen Qian secretly planted for the northern advance of Heiyu City.
Speaking of which, Zhen Qian's strategy of northward expansion on the sea has not been carried out smoothly, first of all, the Ezo people are too weak, whether it is economic or military strength, and the Japanese state is not on the same level, if it were not for the cold of the place where the Ezo people are located, they would have been wiped out by the Japanese state long ago.
On the other hand, Zhen Qian sent a ship to the Black Water Turtle Department to trade with the Black Water Turtle, and through the transaction, he had leased a piece of land on the shore of the Black Water Turtle Sea, but because it was too far away, it was freezing and snowy for most of the year, and it was almost impossible to gain a firm foothold in a short period of time.
He could only turn around and use Sado Island, Sakata and other places as a springboard to build leased land one by one to form a sea passage, which took much longer than Zhen Qian expected, and even within a year, he could not open up the east-west passage to Heiyu City.
Zhen Qian is not omnipotent, although the road to the north by sea is feasible, but there are many problems in its implementation, so Zhen Qian sent Wang Tianxing and Wei Jian to the Ezo people.
If you talk about the degree of danger alone, the Black Domain City ranks first, and if you talk about the development prospects, the first island chain has great stamina. The danger is also the lowest, but in terms of the difficulty of development, the northward expansion by sea can be the most difficult of all plans, and the benefits are also the lowest.
However, the significance of the northward expansion plan by sea is incomparable to other plans, it connects the Black Domain City and the first island chain, closely integrates the resources of the two, complements each other's advantages, and makes up for the disadvantages of the two. What's more important is that once the Black Domain City is connected to the first island chain, Zhen Qian's entire plan will immediately undergo a transformation, and the controllability and operability will be more flexible, and the whole game of chess will be alive.
