Chapter 581 is tolerable or intolerable
The staff officer explained the specific situation, and finally summed it up: "In general, our merchants retreated in time and were not harmed, but our goods suffered heavy losses. ”
Zhang San sighed: "It is inevitable that the combat area will be affected, as long as the personnel are safe." Did the people in the other cities evacuate in time? ”
The staff officer replied: "According to the emergency plan, we have been evacuated to Jiangbei, and further developments are being observed." ”
The guards came in to report that the fleet was ready, and Zhang San nodded: "Full speed to the Ryukyus." ”
The people on the ship didn't know what was going on, but seeing Zhou Dong's face, everyone knew that it must be that the war in the imperial court was not going well.
After Zhou Tong left, Zhang San went to the staff headquarters again, this time there was no concern and the things he asked were different, Zhang San first asked: "How are the preparations of the cities of Fangla now?" The Yangtze River waterway is not controlled. ”
The staff officer returned: "Jiujiang is still waiting, Wuhu is ready to receive the rebels into the city." Yangtze River shipping is basically suspended. ”
Zhang San asked again, "How is our fleet prepared?" Are merchant ships and logistical transport ships in place? ”
The staff officer replied: "Sea Shark Island has sent three detachments of nine ships to patrol the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the ships of the logistics department have also been dispatched to Chongming Island, and the first batch of ten ships arrived yesterday. ”
Zhang San nodded and said, "Very good, pay close attention to the trend of the incident, and pass by Sea Shark Island to get the latest information for me." ”
Since he is prepared on his side, Zhang San is not worried, this whistleblower incident not only disrupted Fang La's rhythm, but even Zhang San's side was a little overwhelmed.
Originally, Zhang San planned to take advantage of the turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River to engage in a group of immigrants, but as a result, all preparations were not done well, and now he was about to start in a hurry, which will test the organization and coordination ability of the Ryukyus.
Fortunately, there has been no war recently, and the information on the ship is inconvenient, Zhang San deduced the development of things with the staff officers, and at the same time asked Lu Cunxiao and Gao Zhong to visit Zhang San's flagship with their four children.
Among the four children, only Wang Gui was slightly seasick, and the adults were all fine, which was rare among the northerners.
This one is because Zhang San's boat is big and the bumps are small, and the second reason is that the doctors on Zhang San's side already have a wealth of ways to deal with seasickness.
After all, tens of millions of people have been transported, so it is very experienced to deal with such things.
When the boat arrived at Sea Shark Island, it stayed for a long time to replenish food and fresh water, and Zhang San took everyone to visit this base.
Although the shipyard here does not produce warships, it is still responsible for the construction of other logistics ships, so the scale is not small.
It is rare for the northerners to see a shipyard, especially such a large shipyard, so not only the children are curious to see the shipbuilding, but also the adults are looking around.
The staff officer arranged by Zhang San went to the staff headquarters of Sea Shark Island to get information about Jiangnan, Zhang San wanted to go by himself, but Zhou Tong here couldn't ignore it.
Zhang San didn't expect that Zhou Dong would run into Shangla and rebel in advance, and he knew that he wouldn't come back together, in fact, Zhang San wanted to stay on Sea Shark Island to personally command this battle, but Zhang San now needs to send Zhou Dong to Ryukyu to make arrangements, otherwise it will be difficult for him to clean up if he makes trouble.
Zhou Tong is now more symbolic than practical for Zhang San, after all, Zhang San's army has entered the age of firearms, and Zhou Dong's tactical thinking is a bit outdated.
With Zhou Dong under Zhang San, these brothers and sisters can be more centripetal and cohesive, otherwise if Zhou Dong is left outside the Great Song Dynasty to fight in the future, it will not only be cannibalism.
In this era, everyone still respects teachers very much, and Zhang San is afraid that Zhou Tong will not engage in a pre-battle rebellion, this possibility is not only but very large.
First of all, Lin Chong is an honest child, and Shi Wengong is brought up by Zhou Tong, and both of them may not be able to resist Zhou Dong's persuasion.
Therefore, Zhang San invited Zhou Tong to Ryukyu, one was to let him be a martial arts instructor, and on the other hand, to prevent him from being used by the Great Song Dynasty.
As for Zhou Tong himself, Zhang San also made two preparations, the first was to let Zhou Tong accept his own views and follow him through fooling.
The other is that if Zhou Tong is still loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, then Zhang San will restrict him from leaving the country, of course, either locked up, or not let him leave Tamsui City, and he can only take one step at a time.
Half a day later, the fleet set sail again, Zhang San took advantage of Zhou Tong to rest and called the staff officer, Zhenjiang has been breached, and the team going to Wuhu has also arrived under Wuhu City, and the Great Song Dynasty has just received the news that Jiankang City has been breached.
In addition to these news, Zhang San also got an interesting piece of information that Fang La was preparing to establish a country and become emperor, and now he was planning to use Tang as the national name.
Zhang San didn't know what their minds were thinking? Want to get the support of the old and young of the Southern Tang Dynasty? However, Zhang San doesn't know if he can get the support of the old and young people of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but this country name will definitely stir the nerves of the Great Song Dynasty.
This is definitely the road to self-destruction, he used this country name Zhang San to rest assured, if he can last three years, he will be evil.
Zhang San has always disliked extravagance and waste, but Zhang San still had to have a simple welcome ceremony when he came back, so after Zhang San arrived at the Tamsui Wharf, the four families on the ship knew that the official who had been with everyone was actually the King of the Ryukyus.
After the welcome banquet, several people were first arranged to rest in the state guesthouse, while Zhang San held a meeting in the palace.
The main content of this meeting was how to gather a group of displaced people to Borneo, and when Zhang San raised this question, everyone looked at Lehe with strange eyes.
Lehe bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, ten days ago we received news that the ship we went to the West to buy horses was seized in the Chola Kingdom, and the horses were privately divided by local officials, and two people were killed, and the rest were put in prison. ”
Zhang San was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why did you just notify me?" ”
Le He said: "When the news was sent to Qingdao, Wang Shang had already set off, so he didn't catch up. ”
Zhang San asked, "Did you send someone to negotiate?" ”
Le He shook his head and said: "Our embassy has not seen the high-ranking officials of the Chola Kingdom until now, they seem to think that we are a small island country in the east and do not attach importance to our envoys. ”
Zhang San asked curiously: "Then this matter can't be handled, so we have to fight it?" ”
Xu Guanzhong clenched his fists and said: "Back to the king, the General Staff suggests sending a detachment to swear the national prestige, if the other party is still so ignorant, then it is not too late for us to send troops." ”
Zhang San asked, "Will the other party be afraid?" What if the other party doesn't take it seriously? How likely is this? ”
Xu Guanzhong thought about it and said: "We can conduct a joint exercise between the two countries, and it is estimated that the other side will be afraid at that time." ”
