Chapter 375: Even if it is far away, it will be punished!
"Bang!" Wei Shuo slammed his fists on the desk, making his henchmen on both sides tremble, they had never seen General Zhenbei send such a big fire.
"Damn, really hateful!"
Hearing that the generals of the naval division headed by Mr. Liu were even more ashamed, many people once boasted that they were invincible at sea, but they did not expect to be caught off guard by the Funan naval division.
"Lord, the last general asks for an order to go to Funan immediately, if you don't destroy Funan, the minister will never come back to see you!" Mr. Liu got up and asked.
Wei Shuo glanced at Mr. Liu, who was full of excitement, stretched out his hand and pressed it a few times, and comforted: "Zhixuan, don't worry, I know that this incident has made the water master have no light on his face, in fact, don't say it's waiting, it's just a certain one full of anger!" But you have to remember not to get carried away by anger at any time. ”
"Revenge must be avenged, but before taking revenge, the rear needs to be pacified first. Now Yizhou and Zhuya were attacked at the same time, although the loss was not large, but after all, it affected the original plan. ”
Then he glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone, tell the truth! I used to despise the country of Funan from the bottom of my heart, although I paid attention to it, but I still had a natural contempt for it emotionally. I think you feel the same way, right? It can be said that this defeat was very timely, and it completely defeated the minds of the enemy up and down Liaodong. ”
"Funan is worthy of being a country that has dominated the South Seas for hundreds of years, so it has the courage to take risks! It was only the Funan people who underestimated the port defense force and unfortunately returned home. ”
"Originally, I wanted to find an excuse to start a war with Funan, but now it seems that there is an excuse, and then Liaodong will officially enter a state of war with Funan. Whether you can defeat the enemy and take revenge depends on your performance! ”
"No!" As soon as the words fell, the generals in Liaodong were suddenly excited.
"However, before the war, I need to clarify the strategy and tactics, this battle of the South Seas is not about occupying the city, but about deterring the barbarians and fighting for control of the South Seas."
"As you all know, the reason why the Liaodong Army defeated the Xianbei and Xiongnu in the past successively, and successfully established the psychological advantage of the Jin people over Hulu, can be said that everything went extremely smoothly. That's because Liaodong has benefited a lot from maritime trade, so that Liaodong's fiscal revenue has always maintained a relatively surplus state.
"It can be said that the sea trade has become one of the lifelines of Liaodong, and without the sea trade, the Liaodong Army would not be able to win a success."
At this time, Mr. Liu's face was gloomy, as one of the high-level leaders in Liaodong, how could he not know the importance of maritime trade? In order to compete for hegemony in the South Seas, it can be said that the top and bottom of Liaodong gave great support to the sailors. Not only did he allocate a large amount of money, but at the same time he tripled the entire naval division, but he lost the battle as soon as he arrived in Nanyang?
If it weren't for the tight defense of the port and the strong fighting will of the Liaodong Army, I really dare not imagine what kind of consequences would have happened?
For Mr. Liu, being blocked by a small barbarian country and beaten up in the port is not only a shame on the face of the sailor, but also a public slap in the face of the entire Liaodong. However, it is good to take this opportunity to completely solve the Nanyang, quickly cut through the mess, and use thunderous means to directly take down the trade rights between the east and the west.
For Liaodong, which is on the rise in strength, it is absolutely intolerable for Funan to occupy the right to trade between the east and the west, and for Liaodong, if Funan dares to make a move, it is necessary to be prepared to be destroyed, especially maritime trade is the most important source of wealth in Liaodong, and many Liaodong families have capital invested in maritime trade, and they will certainly not allow any difference in maritime trade.
"Does the lord mean that you can have no scruples when attacking Funan?" Mr. Liu's eyes lit up.
Wei Shuo glanced at Mr. Liu meaningfully and understood what he meant by his words. It's just that I heard Wei Shuo just say that there is no need to occupy land and seize the city to attack Funan, so I know that this southern expedition does not need to consider the local destruction of the war. Mr. Liu thought about taking revenge on Funan to relieve the hatred in his heart.
"That's right, the Nanyang barbarians support the small countries in the south, ignoring the kindness of the big countries. First, he pretended to be a pirate to capture our Liaodong merchant ships, and then sent sailors to attack the base port. As the lord of Liaodong, I will raise troops to punish the culprit - Funan, in order to comfort the souls of the heroes who have just died in battle. ”
"The small country of Funan despises our state and kills my soldiers. Since they dare to kill, then there is a price to pay. Those who clearly offend China will be punished even if they are far away! ”
"Those who clearly offend Huaxia will be punished even if they are far away!"
Everyone present shouted along, even though many people knew that war meant death, but this could not stop their enthusiasm at this time, in their opinion, those who invaded Liaodong would be retaliated by Liaodong, which was the principle that Liaodong had always followed.
Regarding Wei Shuo's vague intention to retaliate against Funan, none of the generals present objected.
Soon, the huge war machine in Liaodong was activated, and some of the indigenous young men who accepted the rule of Liaodong in the two bases of Yizhou and Zhuya were recruited one after another, and they would become the main labor force of Liaodong in the two places, and at the same time bear the heavy responsibility of defending against the attacks of the local natives.
The reason why it took a lot of effort to turn Hu into Xia is mainly because the Chinese population has suffered huge losses due to wars since the end of the Han Dynasty, and in recent years, it has been ravaged by Hulu, and the population has been much smaller. Anyway, in history, China was a multi-ethnic country, and I don't know how many ethnic groups were integrated in the middle to have the later Chinese nation.
Moreover, Wei Shuo had long had the idea of "turning barbarians into kings", and when he was in Liaodong, he set up education in various places, taught the Chinese culture of the Han nationality to the barbarians from all over the world, accepted the high-achieving barbarian scholars as Jin people, and allowed them to participate in the imperial examinations, and even participated in political, military, economic and other activities.
During the Han and Wei dynasties, the Central Plains Dynasty mainly encircled the barbarians from all over the world, such as Murong Diao, Tuoba Yilu, etc., which were the key objects of the imperial court at that time, while Liaodong focused on the bottom figures.
The county, county and township schools in eastern Liaoning will recruit naturalized barbarian teenagers every year, and they will be treated the same as the children of the Jin people, and they can be promoted to higher education level by level until they participate in the imperial examination.
At the same time, Liaodong allowed all ethnic groups to intermarry, and as long as the barbarians wanted to, they could live in the Jin people, but they had to abide by the laws of Liaodong and join the Jin people's household registration. Otherwise, there will be many restrictions, not only will they not be able to share land, pasture, or even engage in commercial activities.
In the end, whether it is a government soldier or a box army, young people of all ethnic groups will be recruited to enlist in the army, and those who have meritorious service will also be promoted like Han soldiers. In short, with these new policies, the pace of ethnic integration has been accelerated, Wei Shuo expressed joy at this, and his greatest wish is to turn all the Hu people into Chinese, and make up for the population lost in the civil war of China since the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms to the greatest extent.
Now, in order to make up for the lack of population in Yizhou and Zhuya, Liaodong has promoted these policies, which has attracted a group of frustrated natives in the local area to take refuge. Sure enough, it didn't take long for a large number of natives to accept the naturalization of Liaodong, after all, the living conditions provided by Liaodong were far better than hiding in the deep mountains and old forests as savages.
It was with the help of these natives that Liaodong freed up enough manpower to devote itself to the war against Funan.
After the Liaodong war machine was activated, the situation in the entire South China Sea suddenly became tense. Many Nanyang countries didn't expect that it was Funan who did it first, but fortunately, Liaodong did not lose much, otherwise those small countries that secretly betrayed Funan would regret it, but even so, it made Nanyang countries realize the strength of Funan.
However, Funan was not complacent because he had taken the lead in the war, and Fan Yao was annoyed that he failed to inflict heavy losses on the Liaodong Naval Division. He also understood that this battle was not because of Fan Li, it was really Funan who underestimated the strength of Liaodong, who would have thought that the Liaodong Sailors would spread bed crossbows around the port.
Now that the war has been provoked, Fan Yao will never cut off his arm, Fan Li is currently the most experienced sailor general in Funan, and whether he can defeat the Liaodong sailor in the future depends on his contribution.
For a time, the war clouds in the South China Sea were thick, and many merchants stopped running trade in the South Seas. Among them, there were also merchants from Jiangzuo, and soon the news about Liaodong's conquest of Nanyang reached Jiangzuo, and King Langya was stunned when he learned about it, and he really couldn't understand what was worth Liaodong to start a war in that part of the barbarians.
