"What does the Zhang Qing family think they should do?" Zhao Xuan nodded at Li Xiang'an, and then turned to ask Zhang Xuan.

Zhao Ji had made up his mind to send troops to Jiaozhi, and had already ordered Li Xiang'an to send an iron arm guard to detain Jiaozhi's envoy.

"Wechen believes that the merchants of our dynasty were seized by Jiaozhi for no reason, and 500 people were killed by mistake. Moreover, recently, the abduction and plundering of border people has become more and more rampant. If you don't send troops, you can't explain to the people and businessmen of the world. If you don't send troops, you can't show the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty. However, when this change is made, the spearhead should not be too big. It is only said that Jiaozhi seized the property of the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty and killed 500 merchants of the Great Song Dynasty. Zhang Dian planned.

Weichen agreed, you can salute first and then soldier, ask for compensation for the crime, and ensure the safety of the passing merchants. If not, send troops to attack them. Wang Anli added.

Obviously, Wang Anli's idea is to resolve the matter through diplomacy.

"Holy Lord, the Jiaozhi Naval Division has thousands of warships and more than 20,000 sailors. Most of them played the role of water thieves on the Maritime Silk Road, although they did not kill people and steal goods, but the maritime merchants who came and went had to be exploited by them first. The Maritime Silk Road is controlled by them, and just one sentence to ensure the safety of passing merchants can solve their exploitation of merchants? Xiao Yiyuan stood up and fought back.

"Alright, don't dwell on that. Zhang Qingjia, how should I do it? Zhao Ji stopped Wang Anli and Xiao Yiyuan, and asked Zhang Yidao again.

Zhang Dun, who was Chinese New Year's Eve five years old at the time, has thick words. Pretty appearance, fine calligraphy, erudite and good writing. Jiayou two years of Jinshi and first, no, Jiayou four years of A high school. He followed Wang Anshi to carry out law changes, and his political achievements were outstanding. After being transferred to the cabinet group assistant, he mainly coordinated the development of Huguang by the political affairs hall, and the "county policy" submitted to the government affairs hall in the third year of Xining was implemented, and more than 30 counties were set up in Huguang, and 3 million northern immigrants and 300,000 redundant soldiers were settled. Like Cai Jing, he is a capable minister. In history, he was still a famous general, who led the army to quell the rebellious barbarians in Hubei, Hunan and other places, and was a lifeless and ruthless character.

"Wechen's plan is to isolate Jiaozhi and send elite soldiers to beat it. Its sailors were rampant on the sea, which could be annihilated, and the waters around the Wanli Shitang of the Maritime Silk Road were included in the patrol scope of the Qiongzhou Coast Guard. Can you send elite sailors to pretend to be water thieves all year round and attack the Jiaozhi sailors, but without the sailors, how can you control the Maritime Silk Road? In this way, it not only greatly boosted the national prestige of our dynasty, but also solved the problem of the smooth passage of the Maritime Silk Road. Zhang Dian stated.

Wechen agreed. First explain the matter to Dali, Zhenla, Zhancheng, Western Xia, Northern Liao and other countries, and obtain their support. Then order the Qinzhou army to suppress the troops of Jiaozhi, and not attack, to attract part of Jiaozhi's troops. In the end, the elite sailors were sent from Shangjing to join the Qiongzhou Naval Guards to attack Thang Long Mansion from the sea, forcing the Jiaozhi Navy Division to fight a decisive battle. The Jiaozhi Naval Division was defeated, and Shenglong was in danger, and it was inevitable to return from Champa to the division. In this way, Champa can take advantage of the situation to counterattack, and our dynasty can sell a large number of weapons to Champang, so that Champa can send troops to attack Jiaozhi. Cai Jing agreed and added details.

"Jiaozhi was originally the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, how about my complete annihilation?" Zhao Ji asked.

"Holy Lord, no. Now it is not the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the people of Jiaozhi are not backward barbarians. Today's Jiaozhi royal family is a descendant of the Tang Queen, and its people's hearts are not in the Great Song Dynasty, so it is not advisable to use force. Cochin is located in a miasma of the rainforest, and attacking by land will undoubtedly have logistical pressure on food, grass and disease. It is easy to destroy Cochin, but it is difficult to hold Cochin, once the people of Cochin escape into the rainforest and use the terrain to counterattack our army, the war of Cochin is a bottomless pit of swallowing gold. If the troops are sent from the sea, it is still an elite sailor, so there is no such problem. Send troops to fight each other, capture one or two important cities, and annihilate their large army and naval divisions. Wechen agrees with Zihou's policy. Wang Anli said eagerly.

Although his speeches were always not liked by Zhao Ji, he always insisted on his own ideas and did not neglect the court meeting because of Zhao Ji's rudeness.

"What Wang Cifu said is true." Zhao Ji said comforting Wang Anli.

Zhao Ji thought of the United States in later generations, which had bombed Vietnam several times, but it just did not completely capture Vietnam. On the contrary, the loss of troops will be generals, falling into the quagmire of war, and countless money has been spent.

"Well, just follow Zhang Qing's plan. Let's talk about the configuration of military forces. How much is the right amount for the sailor? Zhang's plan was undoubtedly the most realistic, and Zhao agreed to Zhang's plan, and then asked.

When it comes to how many sailors are appropriate, there are more people who speak. The generals of the Coast Guard must have hoped to send more factions in order to make war achievements. The ministers of the DPRK and China hoped to send fewer ships so that they could concentrate ships to transport the people to the court. Regardless of how many or fewer are sent, the Eighth Zhenhai Guard Army will definitely be sent, and the soldiers of the newly recruited army hope to make great contributions, and the DPRK and China are not worried about the army going out to fight and leaving such an army in the rear.

Considering various factors, it was finally decided that the Seventh Town Shangjing Naval Division should dispatch 6,000 people, the Eighth Town Jilong Naval Division dispatched 6,000 people, and the Sixth Town Qiongzhou Naval Division dispatched 2,000 people, for a total of 14,000 people. In addition, because it was Zhao Ji's personal expedition, all 5,000 fire cavalry and 1,000 iron guards were dispatched. The total strength of the expedition was 20,000 men, 200 large and small warships, including one Shenzhou, 10 building ships, 50 fighting ships, and 30 gunboats.

··········

The next day, the temporarily established Shangjing Military Headquarters discussed a specific battle plan at the Chongzheng Palace. There are five cabinet assistants, namely Li Chang, Li Peixiong, Tong Wenjiang, Zhang Dan, and Xiao Yiyuan. Xiao Yiyuan was crowned one of the cabinet assistants by Zhao Ji yesterday. Zhao Ji's move was also to let the appeased water thieves see the importance that the official family attached to them, so that they could swear to serve their lives.

In addition to the cabinet Qunfu, there was also the businessman Xia Yanbin who forwarded the letter of state for the king of Zhancheng. Sailor generals: Xue Yi, Tang Chongsheng, Bai Bolang, Pan Jie, Hu Zhihai, Yang Yingrong, He Qiushui, Gou Hongshe and others. Fire cavalry generals: Li Jirong, Gao Fei, Yang Jin, Guo Kai, Sun Haoying, Wu Jianhao, Sun Wencheng, Niu Zaigao, Bao Huaishan.

Zhao Ji used force to suppress and implement the reform, and everyone knew that this war was actually the beginning of Zhao Ji's establishment of prestige and supreme imperial power. If there is no military exploits, any power must be maintained through interests, and it cannot withstand all kinds of open and secret battles.

Because they knew that this battle was actually about the gains and losses of the people who changed the law, and Zhao Ji wanted to recruit in person, everyone was very nervous about this battle. However, war is fought in temple decision-making and logistics. Since we are going to send troops, we have to fight a prepared battle. But now, everyone doesn't know much about Cochin, and they haven't thought of using troops against Cochin. For a long time, the war preparations of the Great Song Dynasty were in the north, and they all revolved around Western Xia and Northern Liao. However, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the Great Song Dynasty, Northern Liao, and Western Xia was longer than the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Up to now, the military headquarters does not even have a detailed map of the location of Jiaozhi and Zhancheng, nor does it have a chart of the sea off the coast of Jiaozhi. I don't know how much the advantage of geographical location will make Da Song suffer. Fortunately, the maritime merchant Xia Yanbin provided a detailed map of the city of Jiaozhi on behalf of the Shanghai Maritime Shipping Company.

The strategic decision was made at the court meeting, and the plan was acted upon. As for tactical decision-making, any idea is unrealistic now, at least you have to understand the details there first, otherwise you will be beaten by the meat bun, and it will be troublesome to get there and no return. The emperor personally conquered, and once defeated, the consequences were unimaginable.

The crowd gathered around the table where the map was placed, and discussed the matter over tea. While sipping tea, Zhao Ji asked the maritime merchant Xia Yanbin to talk in detail about the specific situation of Xinzhou, the new capital of Vijaya, the capital of the Zhancheng State.

Since it is necessary to use the slain merchants as a breakthrough point and send troops to beat Jiaozhi, then the capital of the city is a good military breakthrough. If you can help Champa recover the old capital in one fell swoop, then at least you can get food and grass supplies in Champa.

Xia Yanbin sorted out his thoughts and stated: "This new state of Zhancheng is not the old capital of Zhancheng, but the new capital of Zhancheng. In the old days, the city was Indra Buluo, Indra Buluo is the meaning of the city, and the main ethnic group of the city is the Cham people, so the national capital is also called the Champa city. Champa country, the name of the country is actually Champa, but in my dynasty, it is called Champa. The same is true of Cochin, our dynasty calls its country name Cochin, in fact, the name of the country declared by Cochin to the outside world is the Da Yue Empire. The king of Jiaozhi is even more known as the emperor to the outside world. ”

After listening to his introduction, everyone was very afraid that Zhao Ji would be angry and would change the established plan and send a large army to perish. Zhang Dian hurriedly said: "As long as the Jiaozhi Kingdom still pays tribute to the Great Song Dynasty, it requests to be canonized." Then it is not overstepping. ”

Xia Yanbin understood what Zhang Dian meant, and in order to divert the official's idea, he hurriedly continued: "The old occupation of the city was occupied by Jiaozhi, and after Jiaozhi slaughtered the city, it was razed to the ground. The former kings of the Champa kingdom and the royal family were all killed by Jiaozhi. Jiaozhi and Champa can be described as a feud. In the first year of Xining (1068), the king of Champa Lüdrabraman III, Jiaozhi and the Great Song Dynasty both called it a torch, and the torch sent troops to attack Jiaozhi, hoping to recapture the old capital. However, in the second year of Xining, Li Changjie, the captain of Jiaozhi State, led an army to the south and defeated the torch. In the third year, Xining broke through the new capital of Zhancheng and captured the torch. ”

When Zhao Ji heard Xia Yanbin's statement, he was stunned, but he didn't expect that there were so many stories in it. After pondering for a while, he said, "So, the national strength of Zhancheng is very weak? The first to send troops to attack Jiaozhi was defeated, I am afraid that this war will be unpopular in their country. Zhancheng was originally the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, or could it be preferred? ”

Zhancheng was originally Rinan County of the Han Dynasty during the Han Dynasty, and a small tribe in the south of Rinan County rose up to establish the Linyi State during the Han Shun Emperor, and the Rinan County was increasingly encroached upon by the Linyi State, and by the time of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Ninan County moved north until the establishment of the Li Dynasty in Jiaozhi. Nichinan County, which has been established for more than 600 years, has withdrawn from the stage of China.

"Holy Lord, this time and that time, why bother to talk about Han Tang? Militaristic affairs are realistic. Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored. Holy Lord, don't be rash! Li Chang really couldn't stand it, and Zhao Ji talked about Han Tang at every turn.

Li Chang, at the age of forty-three, was proficient in commerce and navigation. In history, he once called for the establishment of Quanzhou, Mizhou and other cities, which was the origin of the Song Dynasty's comprehensive opening of the Maritime Silk Road. After the crossing, Zhao Ji listened to his request, appointed him as the inspector of the customs in Beijing, opened a number of trade routes, and in order to develop Liuqiu, he explored the two sea routes from Shangjing to Liuqiu chicken coop and Quanzhou to Liuqiu Anping (Tainan), and made great contributions, which were relied on by Zhao Ji. In this expedition, Li Chang's staff officers are indispensable to the sea route and time of the troops, otherwise, I am afraid that before Jiaozhi arrives, the army may lose too much on the way to transport troops by sea, and the sea conquest will become a joke.

"Alas! The land developed by the ancestors who overcame thorns and thorns and shed their blood was given to outsiders in this way, and I was unwilling. Zhao Ji sighed.

"Holy forgiveness. The barbarians around the Great Song Dynasty today are no longer the uncivilized barbarians of the Han and Tang dynasties, in fact, they are also the people of China. Although the Great Song Dynasty is orthodox in China, it is not strong to unify China after all. If you want to unify China, wait for the Great Song Dynasty to change the law, and then talk about it when you have the strength! Otherwise, if you talk too much, you will be controversial and not conducive to changing the law. Li Chang saw Zhao Ji's sad look, and hurriedly apologized.
