Chapter 588: Attacking Fang La
For example, beautiful flower cloth, beautiful rouge, rich perfume, as well as snow-white curves, delicate boning knives, and even more indispensable, high spirits, the highest end of heroic blood, are openly supplied on the grassland, and of course the price has not decreased.
The grassland people flocked to Zhang San's goods, not only took out their own copper coins to buy them, but also drove the cattle and sheep to exchange, Zhang San distributed the good cattle and sheep to the six tribes, and almost slaughtered them directly to make bacon or canned meat, and stored them for the coming of winter.
Shi Wengong said some interesting things about the grassland, and Lu Junyi asked curiously: "Does Ryukyu also establish power in the grassland?" I've been to Mongolia and it seems to be quite poor. ”
Zhang San said with a smile: "It is precisely because of the poverty over there that the people are fierce, and all of them are excellent riders, so we plan to recruit some herdsmen as cavalry from somewhere, and by the way, we can also build a few horse farms." ”
Now Lu Junyi can't know all the plans, so Zhang San just said it briefly, and then everyone talked about this Zhu Luo country, the generals are very passionate about fighting, even the gentle Lin Chong has the intention to go there to show his hand.
Shi Wengong looked at Lu Junyi with envy and couldn't wait to change with him, Zhang San patted Shi Wengong on the shoulder and said: "I will keep your merits in my heart, and you will definitely become the commander of the first batch of cavalry divisions in the future, and you will also be one of the first division commanders of our Ryukyus!" ”
Shi Wengong's eyes lit up after hearing this, this promise is indeed very attractive, although there is merit to fight Zhu Luoguo, but the temptation to be promoted to division commander is still very great after this matter is done, the first batch of division commanders, I heard that a division has at least 10,000 people, that is not a one-man general!
Zhang San continued: "Not only the division commander, but the six of you will be promoted to a first-level title after you come back, as long as you work hard, it is possible to upgrade to two or three levels." ”
Hearing this, Shi Wengong's motivation is even greater, and now Shi Wengong has only caught a founding baron, and he is a viscount when he is promoted to the next level, so there is hope for splitting the earth and sealing the country in his lifetime.
Shi Wengong is not a dirt bun like Lu Junyi who doesn't know anything, the vast territory occupied by Ryukyu is completely like playing for Zhang San, and there are some places where Zhang San is really out of reach.
So everyone is not afraid that Zhang San promised a blank check, of course, Zhang San will not write a blank check, this time after Gan Xingtai completed the battle of the Chola Kingdom, Zhang San planned to make him an earl, in New Guinea Island to carve out a city owned by Gan Xingtai, and support this city, as an important port for the development of Oceania.
Set a benchmark, and then Zhang San will also consider sealing Yang Tai there, and then after developing Oceania, New Zealand and other places will also be used to divide the title, of course, there are still desert islands over there, so before that, Zhang San will set a grand development plan, such as the island of New Guinea, set a 30-year development plan, and New Zealand needs a 100-year development plan.
In this way, those nobles will not feel that they are being assigned, so in the period before Gan Xingtai's departure, Zhang San finally began to plan the matter of the southward fleet, and then the continent of Oceania, as well as the north and south islands of New Zealand and the islands of New Guinea, will be discovered. As for Gan Xingtai and others, they will definitely be crowned as national princes in the end.
Therefore, Zhang San needs to consider the divided land in advance, and in order not to appear that he is making empty promises, Zhang San plans to solve the problem of the territory of some nobles after completing the exploration of Oceania.
Zhou Dong taught the children to practice for a while, Zhang San began to arrange dinner, and everyone at the dinner table drank and recalled the time when they first met, although it was only a few years and it was no longer a matter of time.
Zhou Tong has been listening to Zhang San's Praetorian Guard courses recently, whether it is military history, war strategy, strategy, organization, discipline, logistics, national defense theory, Han history, weapon use and maintenance, etc., Zhou Dong can learn a lot of new knowledge every day.
Zhou Tong heard the evolution history of the Han nationality for the first time in the history of the Han nationality, and felt that it was simply a distortion of history, so he immediately went to reason with the teacher, but when the teacher took out a history book with examples, he used a simple addition and subtraction method to calculate.
Zhou Tong knew for the first time that after the merger of the original Yanhuang tribe, it was only a small tribe in the Yellow River Valley, and the two tribes joined forces to defeat the Chiyou tribe, which did not prove the greatness of the emperor's supernatural powers, but only proved that the emperor tribe and the Yandi tribe were in a weak position at that time.
In the lesson of population theory, Zhou Tong saw that those teachers used another way to interpret history, through the development and evolution of the population of the past dynasties, Zhou Tong saw the accident and inevitability of the change of dynasties, the original change of dynasties is inevitable, but who is replaced by it is indeed accidental.
For the first time, I heard the slogan 'The sword of the great man will find more arable land for the plough of the great man'.
At first, Zhou Tong didn't believe it, but later he gradually became less rigid by checking information and watching debates, etc., although he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, but he no longer thought that Zhang San's doctrines were heretical.
Zhang San saw that the current Zhou Tong has gradually moved towards peaceful coexistence from the beginning of resistance, and he is also very happy, this is a good start, in order to let Zhou Tong change his attitude as soon as possible, Zhang San has recently organized this kind of debate and discussion in the Praetorian Guard.
Zhou Tong did not resist Zhang San, everyone got along with a lot less embarrassment, the master and apprentice chatted happily together for three days, and if there was something to do, they all said goodbye and left, Shi Wengong returned to the grassland, preparing to expand the cavalry in his hands to 2,000 people before winter.
Lin Chong went back to Luzon to receive orders from the General Staff to go to Luzon, preparing to serve as the escort force of the southbound group, Luan Tingyu continued to go to Zhenwei Island, and Lu Junyi went to the officer training school.
Zhang San began to pay close attention to Fang La's movements, and half a month after Fang La's uprising, he successively went south to Jiankang, Zhenjiang, Wuhu, Tongling, Xuan, Lujiang and other big cities.
After Fang La took Chizhou, the Ding family in Jiujiang finally couldn't help but raise troops to respond, and for a time Fang La successfully closed the west gate of Jiankang, the Ding family was responsible for the defense of the river west of the Ganjiang River and Tongling, and Duan Jiangliu was responsible for the defense of the river to the east of Tongling.
After completing the westward advance, Fang La sent troops to the east twice, one from Zhenjiang to Changzhou Jiangyin, and one from Huzhou and Hangzhou, intending to take the southeast half of the wall in one fell swoop.
The Great Song Dynasty had just given orders to the various state capitals, one was to strictly prevent the enemy from infiltrating and break through the city from within the city, the second was to actively organize the villagers to assist in the defense of the city, and the third was to organize a 200,000-strong counterinsurgency army to reach Chuzhou within a month.
