As soon as Zhang San gave an order, the entire Ryukyus was mobilized, the logistics department began to transport supplies to Nanpo City, and various troops began to move.

The General Staff finally calculated the garrison of the opposing side, and finally came up with a fleet of twelve new gunboats, forty-eight battleships of the East China Sea, and four more regiments of marines to cope with the landing operation.

For the long-term occupation of the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra, 50,000 army soldiers were to be prepared to follow up the defense at any time, and the transfer of these personnel and ships required the coordination of the General Staff, and the logistics were to be transported to the city of Ponan in advance.

So when Zhou Tong and Lu Junyi first came, they saw that the entire Tamsui City was in chaos, and at first they thought it was a normal phenomenon, but after observing for a few days and reading the newspaper, they realized that Zhang San was going to fight with others again.

Zhou Tong met Zhang San in the Praetorian Guard Academy, and couldn't help asking: "Wuji, I heard that you are going to fight against what Zhu Luo Kingdom, what is wrong?" Didn't you just fight Goryeo? How can you afford to play like this? ”

Zhang San sighed and said: "It's not that I have to fight, but someone else wants to cut off our way of life, if we don't fight him, these people under our command will have nothing to eat." ”

Zhou Tong asked curiously: "I read that the newspaper didn't say that the reason for the war was because the other party intercepted your ship transporting horses, just a few horses, and if they are gone, they will be gone, why are you so serious?" You must know how many families and wives were separated and how many people died on the battlefield in this war. ”

Zhang San gestured with Zhou Tong as he walked, and said: "Master doesn't know, this interception of the ship transporting horses is just an inducement, and it is also a temptation of the other party, the other party now has the control of the shipping route to the Western Ocean, and can intercept our horse ships today, and tomorrow they can intercept our ships transporting grain, silk and porcelain." ”

Zhang San pointed to the direction of the wharf for Zhou Tong to see, and then said: "Since the founding of the Ryukyus, the material exchanges and commodity trade have all relied on overseas, and he has cut off our sea route to the Western Ocean, so many of our sea ships will have no food to eat, and the sea ships will not transport goods, so these workers will have no food to eat, and then the displaced people will not be produced?" ”

Zhou Tong felt that what Zhang San said was reasonable, but he didn't expect that there were so many ways in the middle, Zhou Tong asked curiously: "I took a boat a while ago and saw this boundless sea, how could I be stopped?" They're guarding this side, and you're going to go the other way? ”

Zhang San said with a smile: "Although the ocean is big, you can't trespass, and there are fixed routes for ships on the sea, otherwise there are a lot of reefs on the sea, especially the reefs, which will destroy ships and kill people if you are not careful." ”

Zhang San gestured and said: "And the Chola Kingdom occupies a place called Puluozhong, which is a strait where a peninsula meets a large island, and if you want to bypass that big island, you need to walk more than two thousand miles. ”

Zhang San said that in the Polo, is the future of Singapore, occupy the Strait of Malacca, will be of strategic significance, Zhang San has been coveting here for a long time, this time just went south to this place in one fell swoop, even the new name Zhang San has been taken, it is called Zhenhai City, and this place is forever Zhen Sihai.

Zhou Tong nodded and said: "In that case, it is indeed a strategic place, the newspaper said that the Chola country is strong, with thousands of warships and three or five hundred thousand soldiers, can you fight it?" Don't steal chickens and rice. ”

Zhang San really wants to say that the Great Song Dynasty is still known as a two-million-strong army! The war was not a fart and urine flow from the Ryukyus, but in order not to overprovoke the old man, he said: "Although the Chola Kingdom has 500,000 troops, it has a long and narrow country, many cities, and many hostile forces, according to intelligence, the entire Malay Peninsula plus the garrison of Sumatra Island is less than 100,000, as long as we can take both places, then the sea route will be unimpeded." ”

Zhang San said proudly: "These two places are separated from the mainland of the Chola Kingdom by sea, and the Chola Kingdom will have to dispatch the navy if it wants to fight back, which is really not enough for the Chuluo Kingdom to talk about the navy." ”

Zhou Tong didn't ask too much after hearing this, Zhang San asked: "Are you still used to living in the Ryukyus?" Can the children follow the class with their scheduled studies? ”

Zhou Tong frowned again when he heard this, and asked: "Speaking of this, I want to ask you, why does your school have all kinds of disciplines, not only to learn literature and martial arts, but also to teach business and blacksmiths, what is the reason?" ”

Zhang San was puzzled and said, "What? The master looks down on businessmen and craftsmen? ”

Zhou Tong shook his head: "That's not it, it's just that this kind of school seems to be a little nondescript, a little different from other schools." ”

Zhang San explained: "My school is determined to restore the meaning of a hundred schools of thought, and not only cultural martial arts need to be learned and inherited, but also various crafts need to be learned and inherited. ”

Zhou Tong nodded and said: "This naturally knows, according to legend, he is good at casting divine weapons, and he is a great sword casting master." ”

Zhang San continued: "Does the master know who inherited Ou Yezi's casting technology, and who can now build a divine weapon?" ”

Zhou Tong shook his head: "I haven't heard of this, as the saying goes, divine soldiers can be met but not sought." ”

Zhang San said: "Doesn't the master think it's a pity that such an excellent skill has not been passed down? ”

Zhou Tong sighed and said: "Who said it wasn't, everyone sighed every time they mentioned it." You mean....... Zhou Tong looked at the direction of the school and somewhat understood what Zhang San meant.

Zhang San looked at the school and said: "Yes, how many splendid cultures and magical skills have been created by my Han people, but they were either destroyed in the war, or because of the family's surname, they were finally wiped out in the long river of history. ”

Zhou Tong nodded, patted Zhang San on the shoulder and said, "You did the right thing, Wuji, recently I see that you have praised the people of Ryukyu, it seems that the master was prejudiced against you in the past, and you did a good job!" ”

Zhang San was also very happy to see Zhou Tong's change of opinion of himself and said: "Master has recently transferred troops, I have arranged for Senior Brother Lin Chong and Senior Brother Shi Wengong to return to Tamsui to report on their work, and then we will have a good meeting between our master and apprentice." ”

Lin Chong said that it was easy to come back, but Shi Wengong was more troublesome, he had just arrived in the grassland for more than half a year, and it would take nearly two months to come back and forth this time, but Zhang San finally decided to let him come back, which was very meaningful.

Zhang San felt that as long as Shi Wengong's heart problem was solved, then Shi Wengong would definitely be able to achieve greater achievements, so Zhang San called Shi Wengong back first, and as for the stall on the grassland, let Yan Qing help him watch it first.

Yan Qing has been waiting in the north to coordinate the handling of the team of six people, as well as to provide logistics support and diplomatic services for the six people, at the beginning of these six people each brought more than ten people to the grassland, wanting to establish their own tribe Yan Qing suggested that they become horse bandits first.
