Chapter 172: A plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf

Lu Bing said: "Now that Shisuke knows something about Japan, then I will start to say a few words. ”

Everyone quieted down and listened attentively, Lu Bing pondered for a moment and said: "Zhao Ling is by no means a good person, and throughout the history of the Japanese people, they are also a very terrible nation. Calm as puppets at times, crazy but irritable and irrational, overly strict with themselves and others, strong character and greedy nature, and their own small territory and difficult to develop, they will always covet the territory of the new country as a neighbor. There is nothing wrong with coastal defense, even if there is no preservation of the Japanese Kou, the coastal defense work still needs to be preserved, but it is enough to do more vigilance. Over the years, my country has been strong, and the Japanese invaders dare not attack, but if we do not take precautions, I am afraid that one day when the enemy is full of wings and our side is weakened or balanced, they will offend China. ”

"The meaning of the Holy Lord is to attack the Japanese invaders first?" Tang Kekuan said, he couldn't help but get excited and ready to move. After all, Tang Kekuan is also a military general, eager to fight on the battlefield, gallop on horseback, and ride the wind and waves to seal the life of the wolf. But since the sea expedition and the White Feather Chaohua, Tang Kekuan has never had a chance to fight. Then Lu Bing and Zhu Houxi turned their faces, and Tang Kekuan was imprisoned because he didn't want Lu Bing to be the enemy, and he didn't even have the opportunity to lead the troops. Thanks to Zhu Houxi's later forgetfulness of him, otherwise he would have been in a different place at this time.

After the founding of the new country, Tang Kekuan was in charge of coastal defense and coastal affairs, but the prestige of the new country was far and wide, and the war with the remnants of the Ming Dynasty had nothing to do with Tang Kekuan on land. It's too late, how dare you commit it. This made him Tang Kekuan almost idle, and he could only take the sailor troops to escort the sea caravans to and from the new country. Picketing the coast is purely for military training, and he hasn't even touched the hair of a pirate, so it's just that he has nothing to do. Lu Bing has conquered the pirates several times, but he has a tough attitude of killing them all, and now that the new country is rich, everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, who is willing to take risks. As for the precarious pirates, without the help of border fishermen, they turned into widows. Then there is no need to worry about overseas thieves.

Lu Bing nodded and said: "Wu He is right, that is, to use soldiers and robbers, they belong to the type of people who do not open the house for three days, and they must be changed at one time to avoid worries." There are three more points. First, I promised Ji Lianhong. Helping his wife Neuer to restore the country, it was given to Ji Lianhong after the occupation of Japan this time, and I also want to put my brother closer to myself, I can rest assured that helping each other can achieve great things, and it is much better than managing other neighboring countries or across the sea. Second, Iga Ueno died unexpectedly, and Zhao Yu is about to become the daughter-in-law of my Lu family. If you don't take revenge, how can you live with my son Lu Yi with peace of mind, so this move has the meaning of revenge. Third. If Japan had continued to fight and be mediocre, I would not have destroyed them so quickly, but although I have never seen Zhao Ling, I have heard that this person is not a mortal, but a dragon and phoenix among people, and it will be a great trouble to stay, and it needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. ”

"Of course, wars are not trivial, not only do they kill people but they cost a lot of money, so in addition to this, if I have to find the cause of my personal problems in addition to strategic defense and my personal problems, my nationalism is also a problem, and I don't like them, so I have to erase them from history. Maybe it's a bit arrogant to say this, but we should have the strength to do so. Moreover, if there is no war for a long time, the soldiers of the country are bound to slack off and become a bunch of eggs that are just drilled, and they will be soft at the sight of blood. Therefore, launching a few wars within our power from time to time at this time will not only allow soldiers to experience actual combat and improve their combat effectiveness without slacking off, but also promote the development of science and technology, and use many inventions in the war as actual combat practices. At the same time, since many goods are needed to fight a war, the purchase and employment of workers can also contribute to the economic development of our country. Lu Bing said.

After hearing this, Yu Dayou sighed and said: "Ci is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not in charge of wealth, Wenfu, you have really changed." ”

"If it is not my kind, nor my brothers, nor my people, why should I speak of any mercy to them?" Lu Bing sneered.

"Now that the frontier is stable, the country is rich, and after a period of recuperation, the people's livelihood needs corresponding catharsis, and there is enough energy to deal with them, so as not to work the people and damage the country's foundation. However, how does the Holy One think this battle should be fought? What's the name of the teacher? And when did the army start? Tang Kekuan asked.

"That's a good question." Lu Bing said: "Wuhe, you should be impatient, hehe, I understand that you are suffocated, hold it a little better, and when the fight really starts, you will be able to pour out the momentum like a rainbow." In the first year of the founding of the country, the country prepared for military affairs, stabilized the people's livelihood and developed the economy, changed the system, publicized law and discipline, and built a new country. In the second year, he fought with the remnants of the Ming Dynasty and suffered heavy losses. Last year, the third year of the new country, we took a year of recuperation. Unlike other countries dominated by agriculture and animal husbandry, China is ahead of the world, developing rapidly and recovering rapidly, and the treasury is now very full, and there is a feeling that it cannot be spent. I want to attack Japan after the beginning of spring next year, and this year I will build ships and increase weapons and equipment, so as to flow money to the people, promote economic development, and benefit the people. As for the fact that the teacher is unknown, it is indeed a bit troublesome, this is also Zhao Ling's cleverness, he is cautious, respectful and respectful on weekdays, but he has less dealings than us, and he knows that if he says too much, he will lose more and make more mistakes, so he is a man with his tail between his legs, and we can't find a thorn at all. But there is no excuse for the crime that you want to add, and as for what kind of rhetoric you want to make, let it be considered by the group of Korean Chinese officials, and if you really can't think of it, it will be aggression, so it doesn't hurt. My new country has always been a country of etiquette, a country of benevolence and righteousness, if people do not offend me, I will not offend others, but occasionally I should show a trace of arrogance, so there is no need to worry, who will not obey us and beat whom. This is not busy, and we will talk about it then. As for the question of how to fight, Shisuke, tell me how we fought the ghost tiger back then? ”

"He used the superiority of weapons and equipment and troops to attack the enemy, and then returned with a great victory, and the same was true when he fought Japan. However, Brother Wenfu, according to the foolish brother's opinion, there will definitely be casualties in this way, and the strategy of attacking is brave, but the wisdom is also insufficient. It is better to use stratagems to disintegrate the opponents, let them kill each other and eventually become a big mess, or provoke some contradictions, and we will wait for the enemy's forces to dissipate, and then I will reap the benefits of the fishermen. At the same time, we have a reason to attack. He declared that the garrison was coordinated, and as long as he came to the Japanese mainland, he could cause trouble at any time if he created any small friction. And so it goes. Not only do we consume less, your goal has been achieved, but you can also reduce casualties, obtain the maximum benefit at the minimum cost, and the way to plan the army, attack for the bottom, and win without a fight for the top grade. The deterrent power of war. It can also be reflected, and it won't be greatly discounted because of it, so it doesn't hurt. This is a competition between two tigers. The plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf is also. Yu Dayou said.

Lu Bing laughed and said, "You see, I was looking for Zhifu to find the right one, and I got to the point as soon as I came." Zhao Yu, Wei He. You two are familiar with Japan. I heard that there are two sect masters, who originally wanted Zhao Yuanji to win over and annex the remaining three together, but now they are swayed by Zhao Ling, and they are resentful, and they do not meet their expectations, they must be dissatisfied and can be used, and you can instigate rights and interests from them. But don't overinvest. Raising tigers is a problem, but it is tricked by the enemy. Expanded the strength of the local area. Today is different from the past, our side is completely superior, and there is no worries, no matter how you fight, it is a win, this is by no means arrogant, but self-confidence. Don't stress too much, just play it. ”

Everyone laughed, everyone chatted for a while, Lu Bing left everyone to eat together in the palace, and then let them go down.

In the four years of the new national calendar, new ships were launched every day in major ports, and various shipyards and docks were extremely busy, which instantly brought the already prosperous port city to a higher level. The need for wood, various minerals, and fuels for steam engines, such as coal mining, has also been stimulated, and many people have more opportunities to work as helpers, and the wages are quite good. The forestry industry, which was profitable from the reclamation, also developed, and many people took the opportunity to get rich overnight, which made the economy of the whole country more lively, but the matter of shipbuilding was a matter of secrecy. Therefore, although the economy has developed, the people do not know how to drive it instantly, and they have not connected with such a large-scale but batched shipbuilding, and they only feel that they have more money in their hands and are richer.

The shipbuilding was scattered in various places, and the new country had a developed economy, which affected the whole body, and one side injected capital into the whole body, and there were different prosperous scenes in various places. As a result, the country's tax revenues have risen to a new level, which has greatly reduced the investment in the war.

After Han Sufa went against the tide and attacked the Chengdu Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, the steamship was improved many times. Moreover, the steam technology is becoming more and more perfect, and Lu Bing has a bigger mind, and he will implement such a plan when the overseas conquest is temporarily backward. He just wants to do things that others can't do, others use 20 years, he prefers to use one year to complete, as long as the development is balanced, this is not a rush to eat hot tofu, but the rapid development after doing what he can.

In the five years of the new country, the country was peaceful and peaceful, the wind and rain were smooth, the people were rich, there was no war on the border, and it was effortless to open up the territory and manage the Tatars, and the Tatars became all the places for the new country to raise horses, raise cattle and sheep, and conduct some secret experiments. Although Xiliang was slightly dissatisfied with this, he could only swallow his anger, shocked by the frontier soldiers and advanced weapons, and was angry but did not dare to speak. It is said that the private letter and letter sent by Lu Bing were torn to pieces by Xia Dade, Lu Bing heard this and disagreed, he came from the light, if the second brother did not have this bearing, he would not be his second brother, and he would be a generation of emperors in vain. After this incident, the defense line of the frontier of the new country was shortened, and only a small number of troops were stationed on the north side, and the defense of the Xiliang border began to be strengthened, and the consumption was reduced, which was extremely beneficial.

In March of the fifth year of the new country, the spring flowers bloomed, everything recovered, a hundred flowers competed for beauty, and the grass was blooming. Lu Bing suddenly mobilized a lot of troops and horses to go to several major ports, and people in China speculated that this may be due to the turmoil in Japan this year. Lu Bing's People's Daily and Di Bao are now constantly being published, not only with interesting news about current politics at home, but also about the situation abroad. Japan's puppet Song regime broke up and fought in a scuffle, and both sides vigorously purchased arms from the new country. The official sternly refused, refused to trade with it, and expressed verbal support for the rebels, and did not recognize the existence of the puppet Song regime, believing it to be an unreasonable and illegal regime.

Every qiē has an omen, a big war is about to break out, and the people naturally can't smell the smell of murder hidden in it, but the generals are gearing up, and the ministers are also ready to move. The naval battle was imminent, and the first foreign war outside the territory of the new country since the founding of the new country began. (To be continued......)
