Chapter 597: New Year
At the end of the year, Zhang San frequently participated in various meetings, and found a little change in Ryukyu from these meetings, but it also saw everyone's immaturity and shortcomings, but new things are always vibrant, and the same is true for Ryukyu, everyone sees hope, and everyone makes unremitting efforts for their goals.
The first thing to do after the New Year was for Jang Sam to participate in the mediation of the three kingdoms between Goryeo and the northern and southern Wa kingdoms, and the three kingdoms had exhausted the fighting and the people were struggling to survive, and it was time for them to end the war and recover.
The location of the mediation was initially set in Incheon, but Zhang San felt that Incheon had no deterrent, and he had to run so far by himself, so he simply let the other party come to Tamsui City, so the venue was finally set in Tamsui.
At the end of January, the three parties arrived, and under the mediation of Heo Kwan-chung, the three parties reached a final agreement, and the northern and southern Wa kingdoms withdrew from Goryeo territory, and as compensation for the two countries, the Ryukyus would invite the two countries to participate in the war against the Chola Kingdom.
In order to fool the three kingdoms into participating in the war, Xu Guanzhong repeatedly showed them the achievements of the Ryukyus in Chola at the venue, and in just a few months, the Ryukyus obtained at least 30 million Ryukyu in materials and money.
This does not include the most valuable land resources, in order to solve the concerns of the three countries about long-distance transportation, the Ryukyus decided to loot the materials of the three countries, and then the Ryukyus will transfer the corresponding copper money from the north to buy the materials.
To put it simply, if you sell me what you robbed, I will give you money, and you go home to buy it, in order to recover the war wounds of the three countries as soon as possible, so that the three countries will enter the war as soon as possible, and the Ryukyus will lend to the three countries, of which the northern and southern Japanese kingdoms will each receive 500,000 stone of grain, and Goryeo will get a loan of 1 million stone of grain, and farm tools and other materials.
The Three Kingdoms finally agreed to send no less than 20,000 troops to participate in the Chola War, and the troops were to board ships and set off within twenty days of the meeting, and it was expected to arrive at Zhenhai City in mid-March.
During this period, Gan Xingtai ordered the fleet to continue to clear the opponent's navy, and on the other hand, sent the army to occupy the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra, and during the war, there was the Sriwijaya Rebellion, in an attempt to restore his territory before the Ryukyu occupied Sumatra.
Of course, Zhang San would not get used to him, and ordered Gan Xingtai to exterminate it together, but the rule of the Three Buddhas in Sumatra was deep-rooted, and the mass foundation was good, so in order to prevent falling into the vast sea of people's war, a war of extermination had to develop into a slave hunting war in the end.
So the pace has slowed down, and the representatives of the three countries have not yet returned, and the Ryukyus have begun to allocate materials for the three countries nearby, as for why Zhang San wants to aid the three countries, this is a loan, and it is not a free gift.
The purpose of the northern and southern wars is to alleviate the domestic contradictions, and Goryeo is too miserable by Huohuo and needs the support of the Ryukyus, otherwise I am afraid that Goryeo will not be able to withstand it in the south this year.
In order to avoid such a situation, Zhang San provided a large amount of assistance to Goryeo, and anyway, when he arrived in Zhuluo, the other party would soon be able to pay it back.
The Chola Kingdom was far more resilient than expected, and the regular army was easily wiped out at first, but the people of the Chola Kingdom who were loyal to the country organized many resistance groups to resist the invasion, which brought many obstacles to the Ryukyu army.
But an obstacle is an obstacle after all, and everything is a cloud under the increase in Ryukyu troops, and the rebels are quickly eliminated, and the soil for the rebels to survive is also quickly disappeared, and the number of people in the various mines of the Ryukyus begins to be enriched.
When the armies of the three countries arrived at Jinhae Fortress in late March, the Ryukyu settlement of the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra was also coming to an end, and preparations began for the attack on Chola proper, which Gan Heung-tae had been waiting for.
And the first battle to attack the mainland will be to take the capital of the other side, which can not only bring a huge amount of wealth, but also deter the enemy, without personally walking through the three countries, you will not know the strength of the Ryukyus, from the south to the north tens of thousands of miles of the sea, full of Ryukyu ships.
And every port of call was more prosperous than their capital, and the war from south to north within a radius of tens of thousands of miles was terrifying to think about, so the soldiers of the three countries were like quails in front of the Ryukyus.
Just when preparations for the battle of the capital of the Chola Kingdom were in full swing, Zhang San received an unexpected surprise that the clearance troops on the island of New Guinea had discovered high-grade copper ore there.
Although Ryukyu has been using enough copper recently, no one will dislike more money, through half a year of hard work, Ryukyu has immigrated more than 200,000 people there, and established more than 10 immigrant cities, the discovery of copper mines will indicate that a new round of opening will begin.
The war between Fang La and the Great Song Dynasty has been fought very fiercely, and the power of religious belief is terrible, but once the belief is proven wrong, it will also be an avalanche disaster, so in the face of batches of dead soldiers on the front line, all kinds of unfavorable news in Fang La's army began to circulate.
In the end, Jiujiang was conquered under the all-out attack of the Great Song Dynasty, and Fang La's military spirit was almost shaken by the whole line, and in desperation, Fang La announced that the rumors in the army were made by the Song army spies, and on the other hand, he sent his own apologists to try to stabilize the front.
Jiujiang was broken by Fangla's succession was weak, and the two big cities of Chizhou and Tongling were also lost one after another, and the Great Song Dynasty army quickly went down the river in an attempt to quickly eliminate Fangla's forces, and at this time Ryukyu finally attacked.
Fang La bought a large number of bed crossbows and rockets from Ryukyu at a high price and put them all under Wuhu City, Duan Jiangliu also got Ryukyu's instructions and took out all his belongings, and Fang La even sent 25,000 apologists to plan a decisive battle with the Great Song Dynasty under Wuhu City!
At this time, Tong Guan didn't know that when he went south to three big cities in a row, Tong Guan was rewarded by Zhao Ji when he was complacent, and his soldiers began to be impetuous, and finally under this mentality of underestimating the enemy, the land and water armies began to be disconnected.
Wuhu Linjiang and many rivers in the territory, in the eyes of the sailor is a good time to show his skills, to say bigger, the court intends to learn from the Ryukyus, change the name of the sailor to the navy, and become a level of troops with the army, if they can rely on the sailor's own strength to win such an important city, will definitely add a point to the sailor.
To put it mildly, the credit for everyone to win a big city together is not as big as their own, and the army is simply a burden in such terrain, so the sailor quietly sped up without everyone knowing.
The sailor went to Wuhu City first, which gave Fang Yuan a good opportunity, and he did not hesitate, immediately fired crossbows from the water and land beds, and fire oil bombs flew all over the sky, trying to destroy the enemy's sailor first.
