When we left Taiwan Island, we sailed all the way west to find the new continent that the lord said, the vast sea, boundless, even if the last general grew up on the sea, this way, is also amazed! Wei Zhihua sat in the center of the hall, Li Qinggao sat on the top, smiling and looking at Wei Zhihua who was talking, while people such as Lu Dalin, Tian Feng and others sat in two, staring at Wei Zhihua intently, for them, this is a completely new world, Zheng Zhiyuan's voyage made them realize that there is not only this sound continent where Da Chu is located in this world, but also another vast world that is not inferior to here.

"At the beginning, everyone was in high spirits, but as time went on, everyone couldn't help but get anxious, because along the way, in addition to discovering some larger islands, the mainland that the lord said was nowhere to be seen, and more than half a year passed, seeing that the supplies were about to run out and the expeditionary force was about to fall into trouble, the sky was pitiful, and we finally found a new continent!" Even when Wei Zhihua talked about the scene at this time, he still stood up excitedly, "Lord, generals, our mood at that time is really indescribable in words!" ”

"The land is so fertile, the resources are so abundant, it is not an exaggeration to describe this new world as full of gold and silver! I can't describe into words the wealth of some of the tribal leaders there, and some of them have toilets made of gold and set with precious stones, which are completely worthy of a perfect work of art. Wei Zhihua said with emotion.

Tang Hu glared at the boss with one eye, "Grandma, such a toilet, if Lao Tzu squats on it, he will definitely not be able to pull out the, won't it be suffocated!" The crowd laughed.

Li Wendao: "Xiaowei, you went ashore so easily? ”

Everyone immediately quieted down, conquering a new place, it must have been blood and fire at the beginning, looking at the black men brought by Wei Zhihua, everyone understood that they were afraid that this matter was not so simple.

Wei Zhihua nodded, "The fertility here, the richness here, make us overjoyed, but what makes us even more overjoyed is that it is still too backward here." ”

"Backward? Xiaowei, you just said that they are very rich, why did they become like this in a blink of an eye? Tang Hu asked.

Wei Zhihua said with a smile: "On that continent, there is still slavery, and they basically have no foreign enemies, a lot of money is concentrated in the hands of slave owners to meet their arrogant and lascivious life, the people at the bottom are still more hard, but the land there is too fat, basically you sprinkle the seeds, don't care about anything, just wait for a few months to harvest, that is like us here, intensive cultivation, careful care, hard work, and God's favor will meet a good year!" This kind of comfortable life makes the people here basically not enterprising, generals, guess what weapons they use to fight us? ”

Everyone shook their heads.

"Their bows and arrows are still bamboo, the arrows are made of bone, there are few iron weapons, even the armies of the big slave owners only have some simple iron weapons, let alone armor, and when we saw the mighty opposing army rushing up from the opposite side in our first landing battle, we thought that we had encountered a group of wild men." Wei Zhihua Road.

Everyone laughed, in front of the Marine Corps, armed to the teeth, this would not be a war, but a massacre.

"This battle is too easy to fight!" Lu Dalin shook his head and said.

"yes, that's exactly how it started out!" Wei Zhihua said: "On the beach, the long-range weapons of our sailors opened fire together, several rounds of volleys, and the beach was already full of corpses, and the blood flowed like a river, the marines rushed up, and repeatedly rushed down several times, and thousands of local natives were wiped out, and we went ashore smoothly and began to establish a stronghold." These strongholds were then used as a basis for advancing into the interior of the continent. ”

Li Qing interjected: "Did you encounter some difficulties later?" ”

Wei Zhihua arched his hand and said: "The lord clearly sees thousands of miles, it is true, our first battle was fought with a local indigenous person called the Sun Tribe, this battle will defeat the Sun Tribe, but as we advance, the difficulties will become bigger and bigger, and it is not unfamiliar with the terrain, the key is that these blacks are full of resilience, and the large army cannot confront us, so they disperse and fight guerrilla warfare with us, the deeper we advance, the more problems we encounter." In the first battle, we annihilated thousands of enemies, and we killed no more than 100 of our own soldiers, but later we wiped out these remnants, and by the end of a month, the casualties reached hundreds.

The indigenous people here did everything they could when they were guerrilla! Through the interrogation of the captured captives, we learned that the vastness of this continent is far beyond our imagination, and the Sun Tribe we defeated is just the tip of the iceberg, and there are not many tribes like this on this continent, which makes General Zheng realize that if we blindly suppress it forcefully and kill all the way, I am afraid that our soldiers will also be consumed by the other party. ”

Li Qing nodded, "Zheng Zhiyuan has changed his strategy...... Nest caress combined? Woo a part of the ...... Hit...... Partially, to raze the raze? ”

"Exactly!" Sato-no-Ka Road.

"General Zheng is using this strategy, first to win over some local natives, through these people to contact some small tribes, and then help the small tribes, those large tribes are ruthlessly suppressed, the income and the interests of these small tribes are shared, and these small tribes may have been bullied by the local majority of the people before, and they are even more ruthless than us, until half a year later, our army basically does not need to attack, just as a support for these small tribes, to provide them with some weapons, if they can't beat down, Then we go up, so that our losses are greatly reduced, and the territory under our effective control is increasing day by day, and by the time of the year we have effectively stabilized the territory we occupied. ”

"What do we gain besides the turf? It's not just these gold and silver treasures, right? Tian Feng asked.

"General Tian's question is good!" Wei Zhihua said with a smile: "These gold and silver treasures are just floating wealth, and what will really let us enjoy it is the population and resources there, the big boss of Qiyu can't wait to follow us back this time, ready to organize a large-scale fleet to go to the New World, sell our products, and then earn back a lot of wealth from there." ”

Li Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Zhihua, how long will it take to come back from the New World, if it is smooth?" ”

Wei Zhihua said: "Back to the lord, when we come back, we have measured the accurate channel, if everything goes well, then we can arrive within two months, and run a round trip in four months!" ”

"Run a round trip in four months!" Li Qing calculated for a moment in his heart, under the current manpower voyage, this speed is no longer slow.

"Qiyu also arrived in Quancheng?"

"Yes, we are in a hurry to rush back to Dingzhou City, organize merchants to buy boats, and then go to sea!"

"Let him come to see me first, such a big deal, he can't eat it alone, or a few businessmen, our Dingzhou government must also get involved, and before that, we must completely beat the Pang army's sailors to the ground, and now the Pang army still has a fleet with good strength in his hands, next, Deng Peng must do his best to find the opponent's main force, and then annihilate it, so that Heishuiyang can no longer see a piece of the opponent's sampan, otherwise let the other party seize the opportunity and bite our fleet, and the loss will not be small." Li Qingdao.

"Yes, my lord, I'll go to Wenpai to pray for jade to see you next." Li Wendao. "My lord, did the operational opinions on the naval division just now form an official document and send it to General Deng Peng?"

"Yes. Tell him my intentions, and let him decide how to fight! Li Qingdao said: "I hope that in three months, the other party's military flag will never be seen on the Heishui Ocean again." ”

"Zhihua, you have been out for several years, and after coming back this time, you will rest for a while, your father has always been very concerned about you, go back to Dingzhou to see your father, and then go back with the fleet, and by the way, also escort these merchant ships, hehehe, the dozen or so ships you brought back are all loaded with these things?" Li Qing pointed to the jeweled and golden boxes in the hall.

"Yes!" Wei Zhihua bowed.

"These things are transported back to the Dingzhou treasury, I don't dare to say anything else, Lu Yiming and Xing Zhengqing are going to laugh crookedly, and this year's hole is closed. This one alone is worth our expedition. Lu Dalin laughed.

"These are just floating money, which can only solve our urgent needs, but what is really useful is the population, land, and minerals. That's an endless source of wealth! Li Qing stood up and paced a few steps in the hall, "Zheng Zhiyuan's department must stay there and continue to stabilize the form over there, and in a short period of time, let him manage the territory he has mastered well, don't go any deeper, his troops are not enough to control more places, and when we have a general result here, we will send troops to it on a large scale." The most important thing now is the next war with the Central Plains.

"Next, I'm going back to Dingzhou City, the Liaoshen Campaign will be coordinated and commanded by Lu Dalin, Deputy Tian Feng, remember, Liaoshen basically has no major war, what you need to prepare is the war against the south, the news from the Supervision Yuan in the past two days has come that Luoyang Tianqi and Shanghai Hai fluctuate frequently, they want to grab this piece of fat in the south with us!" Li Qing's eyes turned to the south.

Lu Dalin and Tian Feng stood up at the same time, "Yes, obey the orders of the lord!" ”

The overall situation of Liaoshen has been decided, Li Qing decided to return to Dingzhou, his eyes have completely turned to the Central Plains, and at this time, the face of the mountain wind in Qinzhou is sinking like water, and the rows of generals under the tent stand solemnly, and the Dingzhou army has just suffered another defeat.
