Xie Yue and Gu Cheng suddenly cried with sad faces, how could they still have spare sea ships in their hands to transport immigrants?

The entire Jiaolong HNA personnel are now running at sea at full capacity without vacation, either in the migrant fleet to transport migrants, or in charge of transporting various supplies for the governor's offices on the overseas islands, and the remaining ships are either waiting for loading in the port or unloading in the port. There are also a number of sea ships as merchant ships, carrying commercial goods produced by various industries of Yanwangfu to be trafficked to various parts of Datang and overseas countries, earning huge profits and continuing to fill in the big hole that Li Yu has developed overseas.

"Jiaolong HNA really doesn't have any extra ships to form another immigrant fleet, and it can't find enough captains and many sailors who are familiar with the routes and sea conditions in various places in a short period of time......

"I'm so Qiang'er!"

Li Yu's face was full of disappointment.

"His Royal Highness has tormented the ministers to wait, it is really the incompetence of the ministers......"

Xie Yue and Gu Chengcheng bowed down in fear.

"How many mixed yuan ships has the Liaodong Shipyard launched this year?"

Li Yu asked again.

"Your Highness, only ten ships have been built, and five of them are still in the process where the crew is familiar with the operation of the ship, and they cannot be put into use yet."

Li Yu touched his delicate chin and said in a deep voice: "There are only ten ships, and there are only one or two thousand people who are transported by immigrants, if only there were fifty ships." ”

Seeing that His Royal Highness was anxious to transport the immigrants recruited by the Andong Pioneer Group gathered in various ports to overseas, Gu Cheng's eyes suddenly had an idea.

In terms of today, there are many sea ships, except for the imperial court, our Royal Highness counts, and His Royal Highness has two maritime forces in his hands. To be precise, Jiaolong Haina, to which he belonged, was only a merchant fleet in the hands of His Royal Highness, and another fleet under the jurisdiction of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate did stop at the port at this time to blow a cold wind. (The Andong Protectorate was a local military and political institution in the Tang Dynasty, and the military and political organizations were naturally subordinate to the imperial court rather than Li Yu, the chief official, and Li Yu had the right to appoint, dismiss, and transfer military and political officers and soldiers in the Imperial Protectorate. Only the various organizations founded by Li Yu in the name of doing business are truly subordinate to him, the private person of King Yan, and some shady things are done through these institutions. ）

"Your Highness is anxious to transport immigrants to the overseas governors' offices, so why don't you call in the navy of the Metropolitan Protectorate to assist in carrying them?"

Gu Cheng came up with an idea.

After all, the sea ships now equipped in the three major fleets were all built by the imperial court to attack Goguryeo and Baekje, and they were strong and durable. The largest ship can hold 800 people, and the smaller ship can hold 40 or 50 people. The sum of the three fleets is 800 large and small, and how can it carry 30,000 or 40,000 people at a time. (It is impossible for each ship to be loaded with people, water and other supplies needed at sea, and to ensure that the migrants on board the ship have to live in a healthy living environment, more than half of the warehouses must be occupied, after all, this is not a slave transport)

It's just that the navy can undertake the transportation of soldiers, food, and equipment stationed in various places except for the inland of Liaodong, and the guard and defense areas, and the tasks in wartime are more and heavier.

It was the eldest father (i.e., Li Zhi, the title of the father of the Tang Dynasty) who allocated 800 ships to Li Yu to form a special navy, which liberated Jiaolong and Haihang from these military affairs to concentrate on transporting immigrants and commerce.

If the Yellow Sea and East China Sea fleets, which are guarding the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the Silla coast, are transferred to transport migrants, they will only return once every six months or even a year. During this period, a war suddenly broke out in the Andong Protectorate, and the navy was urgently needed, so wouldn't Li Yu be dumbfounded.

Just like the just-concluded Battle of Pingding Silla, Nuo did not have the 800 sea ships given by his father, and also tacitly acquiesced that Li Yu abducted most of the original imperial court naval army (mainly because the Tang Dynasty had no water threat, and there was no need to maintain a standing naval army), and formed three navies to deal with Silla and deliver food and equipment to the army. The result is likely to be that Li Yu had to force Jiaolong HNA to act as a navy, which was engaged in trade and immigration transportation, causing the interruption of commerce, immigration transportation, and material transportation to overseas governors, bringing huge losses, and not necessarily winning the battle-hardened Silla Naval Division.

Originally, in history, wasn't the Tang Army's reinforcement of the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion a support army that was killed by the Silla Navy Division at sea?

Silla had just been pacified, and in some mountainous areas, there were still many diehards who had fled, and Silla had become a puppet regime controlled by the Tang Dynasty and gathered people to rebel. In the Silla puppet regime, those who held military power were also unreliable, and they used people who had enemies with each other to contain them, and garrisoned troops in Jinseong to keep a watch.

But in case of a sudden change in Silla, those powerful factions appointed by Li Yu killed their political opponents and took control of the power of Silla, dissatisfied with the fate of the puppets being sucked blood, maybe Li Yu had to go south again.

Therefore, Li Yu thought about it: "The navy cannot move for the time being, and they shoulder the task of preparing and transporting military supplies. ”

Li Yu compromised and said: "The South China Sea Fleet can assist you in transporting migrants, and the East China Sea and Yellow Sea Fleets will see if we can draw a hundred and ten ships to form a small fleet with the newly built ten mixed yuan ships to start carrying migrants in January next year." ”

"His Royal Highness thinks thoughtfully, but the ministers do not filter thoughtfully......"

Only then did Gu Cheng remember that the navy didn't seem to be just parked in the harbor blowing cold wind, and replied with a guilty face.

"This will speed up the transportation of migrants by three points."

Xie Yue was quite happy, how could he be relieved to have someone else to share the burden on him.

Drawing one hundred and ten ships from the navy plus ten newly built mixed ships would increase the capacity of five or six thousand people. It is a drop in the bucket for the immigrants who have gathered more than 300,000 immigrants, but for the Governor's Mansion built in Nanyang, it can inject 5,000 or 6,000 Han people at a time, and it can have the effect of sticking to the local area.

It should be known that in addition to the islands of Jawa, Sumatra, and the Malay Peninsula, the natives in the South China Sea have established decent countries with a large population and a certain army. The other islands are basically barbaric and backward, sparsely populated tribes, and the majority are only a few thousand men and women.

After the immigrants landed on the shore, they took root in the local land under the protection of the army, and thousands of people instantly became a tyrant on the island that no one dared to provoke. Unless those native tribes unite with each other to raise a hundred thousand young men to besiege the city where the Tang people settled.

However, with the good level of equipment that those natives can have an iron knife in their hands, in the face of the well-equipped and orderly Tang army, I am afraid it is not enough to cut.

The problems of immigration and transportation capacity were initially resolved, and Li Yu thought about which army to transfer to Nanyang to garrison Puluozhong.

There are not many generals under Li Yu's command, most of them are the kind of brave generals who dare to fight, but lack wisdom and strategy, and this kind of person is not suitable to lead the army to run the Malay Peninsula in Puluo, where he is not familiar with his life.

Judging from the information brought back by the South China Expedition, the Malay Peninsula is full of small countries, fighting with each other and relying on neighboring powers, such as Sri Buddha on Sumatra Island and Chenla on Indochina, and the situation can be described as extremely complicated.

In Li Yu's view, to run this place, you need to choose a general who is both wise and brave.
