The war between the Great Song Dynasty and Fangla was about to break out, but the Great Song Dynasty was really embarrassed to find that there were no warships that could cross the river, and reluctantly ordered all localities to build warships to cross the river, and asked Hangzhou and other places to send troops to help defend Huzhou and Wuxi City, and ordered Fujian and other places to defend the Ryukyus troops to go north for reinforcements.

The war machine of the Great Song Dynasty started again, and Fang La, who heard the news, simply proclaimed himself emperor in Jiankang, the country name was Tang, and the city of Kangcheng was rebuilt as Nanjing, planning to fight with the Great Song Dynasty to the end, Zhang San admired his ugly spirit of not being afraid of death and not afraid of death.

However, Fang La is not completely stupid, through his studies in the Ryukyus, he has learned some basic principles of governing the country, at least he also knows that soldiers cannot defeat the regular army without training on the battlefield.

Just like the reason why these recent wars have been so smooth, it all depends on the 3,000 appraisers he trained at the beginning to charge forward, otherwise he may not be able to take these cities for half a month or half a year, so this time Fang La re-recruited 30,000 apologists in Nanjing City, intending to train for a decisive battle with the Great Song Dynasty.

The original 3,000 apologists were killed in the battle, more than 800 were killed, and after 700 were distributed to the generals of each unit, now Fang La still has to leave 800 people to guard his palace, and in the end only 600 people can train new apologesis.

However, after Fang La's fight with the Great Song Dynasty officials and soldiers, now is the time for his self-confidence to swell, and it will take three months for the Song army to fight the Yangtze River, so Fang La feels that he will definitely be able to defeat the Song army after three months of training for the new apologetic army.

This time, the leading general of the Great Song Dynasty turned out to be Tong Guan, which made Zhang San very speechless, couldn't the entire Great Song Dynasty find a man? Do you have to use a eunuch? Besides, it's good that this eunuch has the ability, but hundreds of thousands of troops are gone, are these people blind?

After the Great Song reformulated the defensive strategy, the Huzhou direction was assisted by 16,000 Song troops, and then a curfew was imposed in the city, and on the day of Fang La's attack, another civil strife was successfully thwarted, and the battle line was finally stabilized.

However, Huzhou City is a small city after all, and it is in danger under the attack of the Fang La army, and Wuxi is the same.

With this preparation time, the two cities finally completed the deployment and successfully blocked Fang La's army under the city, and Fang La did not have time to take care of Suzhou and Hangzhou, because Tong Guan did not go to Chuzhou this time, but arrived directly in Ezhou with soldiers, and then began to collect ships, preparing to go south to Jiujiang first, and then go down the river to fight the thieves in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Fang La transferred the army to Jiujiang, and the two sides planned to start a big war here, and the Ding family originally thought that they were invincible in the area of Poyang Lake and Ganjiang, but when they really waited for this kind of war of tens of thousands of people, they knew that their little people and boats were just small shrimps.

Although he claims to have 80,000 sailors, in addition to the newly recruited, the real old backbone is only 3,000 people, and even if the new recruits are added, they are barely more than 10,000.

Fang La sent his uncle Fang Yuan as the governor of Jiujiang, bringing 50,000 reinforcements claimed to be 200,000, not that Fang La was reluctant to give, but the number of displaced people in Jiangnan seemed to be much smaller than expected, which put his conscription in a difficult situation.

After Fang Yuan arrived, he immediately recruited boats and fishermen along the river, and the size of the Ding family's naval army doubled in an instant, and the reason why Fang Yuan did this was because he heard that Tong Guan on the other side did this, and the naval army was not enough for fishermen to make up.

At this time, Zhang San greeted Gan Xingtai at the Tamsui Wharf, and after receiving Zhang San's order to lead his troops south, Tai immediately went to select ships and troops, and by the way, conducted an inspection of several fleets in the north.

After this circle, all the preparations have been prepared, Zhang San has one last arrangement this time, Gan Xingtai needs to ask Zhang San for instructions, what is Zhang San going to do?

Zhang San already had an idea about this, Zhang San took Gan Xingtai to the palace, and after the two sat down, Zhang San spoke: "I have asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to try to contact the two countries of Hou Zhe Louqi and Pala in the west of the Chola Kingdom, as long as there is a major victory on your side, the two countries should assist you in launching an attack on the Chola State from behind." ”

Gan Xingtai asked curiously: "How are the two countries compared to the national strength of Chula?" ”

Zhang San thought about it and said: "The national strength of the two countries is about two-thirds and one-third of that of the Chola State, but the military strength of the two countries is not strong, and everything depends on us." ”

Gan Xingtai nodded and asked, "Your Majesty, when will this battle end?" ”

Zhang San clenched his fists and said: "The first Chola country apologizes and compensates for the losses since the war, the second cedes the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra Island, the Andaman Islands, and Sri Lanka Island to me, and the third navy size and shipbuilding industry must be limited, refer to the Japanese regulations." ”

Gan Xingtai was about to go to war, and he naturally knew about these places, so he frowned and asked: "In this way, it is equivalent to restricting the Chola Kingdom to the Indian mainland, I'm afraid they won't agree, right?" ”

Zhang San said seriously: "I also know that they will not agree, so we can't pin our hopes on the enemy, you have to quickly destroy the opponent's living forces at sea after the war, occupy these strategic points, establish a safe passage for our merchant ships to go to the Western Ocean, and pull the second phase of the war to the coastal waters of the Chola Kingdom." ”

Gan Xingtai nodded: "Your Majesty, I have seen the operational plan of the General Staff, and I have also seen the operational requirements of the first stage. ”

Zhang San shook his head and said: "According to the deduction of the General Staff, the probability of our sneak attack is very low, if we storm the enemy's capital, we will face the siege of the enemy's large corps, and if we are not careful, we may fall into the enemy territory and cause heavy losses." ”

Gan Xingtai asked without giving up: "Then after we complete the first phase of the combat mission, the enemy will definitely scatter his troops in various places in order to prevent us from landing, so that we can have a surprise attack?" ”

Zhang San said helplessly: "Why do you have to attack their capital? ”

Gan Xingtai smiled helplessly and said: "You don't know, now the army has a lot of opinions on the new warships of the navy, which not only affects the configuration of the army's new artillery, but also occupies most of the military spending....... ”

Zhang San looked at Gan Xingtai speechlessly, of course Zhang San knew what he said, no matter what era the navy built ships, it was a big money-guzzler, Zhang San adhered to the strategy of first sea and then land, and the navy was taken care of in terms of funds, manpower and weapons, just like artillery was given priority to casting the navy.

Of course, this caused dissatisfaction among the army troops, and of course everyone didn't dare to say anything to Zhang San, but Gan Xingtai, as a vice admiral, was under considerable pressure, so this attack on the Chola Kingdom Gan Xingtai was under so much pressure.
