Chapter 1103: Generals
Zhou Shaoyu didn't know what the current situation was on the back side of Silla, but at least the south side by the sea must still be too peaceful, and no matter how much people didn't hit here, no matter what, the Jin people didn't hit here. It's just that even here, there are a lot of displaced people who have fled.
At present, the situation of Silla is very bad, not to mention being invaded and looted, and now it has to bear the rations of tens of thousands of troops of Daliang, as well as the expenses of forming a new army of Silla according to Gao Yuyao's instructions. Under such circumstances, there is not much left to help the people.
However, this did not affect the trade between Silla and Daeliang.
The history of Silla is far greater than that of the Great Liang, and the wife in a corner of peace is peaceful, and whoever is the boss of the Central Plains will be vassalized, and there is no pressure at all. Naturally, the army is there, and it has also fought with the former Kwantung Yi people and now the Jin people, but it is not so ferocious.
However, after so many years, the gradual decline of royal power is inevitable, the rise of several major families in Silla, and there are many upstarts, no matter how chaotic Silla is, as the upper class, they will not have much impact, and all kinds of luxury goods are still bought aggressively.
Or it should be said that the more difficult it is, the more conducive it is for some people to get rich, and they will not be poor no matter what.
And the so-called big victory of the Liang army a while ago, Zhou Shaoyu can be regarded as finding out.
It's really a fight, and if you win, it's really a win, and if you really want to talk about it, the other side is indeed the army of the Jin country, but it's not a little greasy inside. The victory was only a rogue army composed of Silla exiles, and the reason why it can be counted on the Jin state is entirely because this rogue army was supported by the Jin people and was a vassal of the Jin army.
Fighting such an untrained rogue army is naturally a big victory, and there is no pressure at all. However, it was whitewashed as a great victory over the Jin Kingdom and sent to the imperial court, and I was drunk when I thought about it.
"However, with Gao Yuyao's means, even if there are no corresponding monitoring arrangements, you can still distinguish the true from the false. Moreover, could it be that Gao Yuyao did it on purpose? After all, many ministers are against sending troops, and in this case, a big victory is naturally needed to suppress it. Zhou Shaoyu thought so.
No matter what the reason is, if you don't come here in person, where will you know the truth, if you really think that you have won the real Jin people, you can't say that you will make changes to your defense of the Jin country, and the impact will be great.
"The owner, according to the inquiry, I haven't heard of any bullying of the people by our army in Daliang, so I think the military discipline should be good." The first mate Dong Da Niu returned. Ordinary people come from a family, and they don't have any good names.
"That's ......" Zhou Shaoyu frowned a little, in conscience, naturally he didn't see ordinary people being bullied. In terms of the great cause, if the military discipline of the Great Liang is corrupted, it can even show that the quality of the army is not good. Forget it, shook his head, and asked again: "Where is our army of Daliang stationed now?" ”
"It's in a small abandoned city north of the Silla royal city, helping to defend the royal city and train the new army of Silla." Dong Daniu replied.
Although it was just a sentence, Li Xiuning had a guess and said in a low voice: "It seems that the combat power of the Jin people is indeed not to be underestimated. ”
"How?" Let Dong Daniu step back for the time being, Zhou Shaoyu asked.
"Daliang has sent troops to Silla twice, plus the Silla New Army, the number has exceeded 100,000, and the Jin State has been fighting against the Turks during this period, and the data of the people who entered Silla is rumored to be 5,000, but according to the situation of our Youzhou attack, there must still be someone who sent people privately, but at most it was 10,000, and then plus the coerced Silla Liukou army.
In this comparison, the girder is actually superior. However, there was no war at this time due to the climate, but I had not heard of too much friction before, which can only mean that the Liang army was avoiding direct war as much as possible, as long as it defended the Silla royal city. "Li Xiuning calmly analyzed." Otherwise, there is no need to delay it all the time, the expedition of the army is too long, but it will greatly affect morale. ”
"Reasonable, as soon as it comes like this, it proves the combat power of the Jin people." Zhou Shaoyu nodded: "Is there anything else?" ”
"And? You can find out who the general of the unified army is, this person is indeed a good fighter. ”
"Huh? Good at fighting? ”
Zhou Shaoyu was a little stunned, one moment he said that people avoid war, and the next moment he said that people are good at fighting, isn't it contradictory?
Xu saw Zhou Shaoyu's doubts, and Li Xiuning said patiently: "Why avoid the war?" It's not that I'm afraid of losing, but I can't afford to lose. Earlier, the first wave of the Daliang army entered Silla, and there was a war with the Jin army, which resulted in a crushing defeat. Moreover, it is still won by less, so it is certain that the morale of the surviving army will inevitably fall to the bottom, and word of mouth will affect the new reinforcements.
Under such circumstances, if you engage with the present people, the casualties are slightly larger, even if you have the upper hand on the battlefield, it is easy to rout, once you break and flee, the army will be defeated like a mountain, and it will be defeated! And the golden man is fierce, and it is not difficult to play this. In fact, the reason why Jin people can win more with less is not really powerful, but because of the word fierce.
Therefore, if there is no complete grasp and the recovery of morale, it is very likely that you will be defeated if you attack rashly, and if you lose again at this time, the chain reaction will be not small. In other words, this will not be the most correct choice, and the more proof of his ability to fight is the great victory not long ago! ”
Zhou Shaoyu immediately understood, and said: "It's not sure that the army that directly fights the Jin people is not sure, but there is nothing more morale-boosting than winning the battle, so the general put his mind on the Liukou army, but the Liukou army was built with the support of the Jin people, and it must be related to the Jin people." In this way, the difficulty lies in how to sweep away the Liukou army at the most appropriate time without alarming the Jin army, or making it too late for the Jin people to come to their rescue. ”
"Yes." Li Xiuning nodded.
"In this way, he is indeed a rare general!" Zhou Shaoyu touched his chin, and said in his heart that it seems that he wants to investigate, not to mention the problem of whether to win over or not, at least if he encounters it in the future, he needs to be more vigilant.
After making up his mind, Zhou Shaoyu raised his hand and said to Li Xiuning 'angrily touching the dog's head', and said with a smile: "Hahaha, no matter how powerful it is, it can't be as powerful as my little Xiuning!" Xiuning is in hand, I have it in the world! ”
"Boring!" Li Xiuning is also drunk, this guy is becoming more and more presumptuous.
Fortunately, after rubbing it for a while, Zhou Shaoyu became serious and said, "But the Liukou Army or something, it's also a trouble." ”
This is true at all, don't look at people who have suffered a big defeat, but this has something to do with the fact that they have just been formed, and there is no experience to talk about, and in time, it is definitely a threat.
The existence of people is very complicated, and most people have the characteristic of bullying the soft and fearing the hard. The same team, you let him fight the fierce, and it will collapse at the first touch. can turn the spearhead to hit others, and the momentum is like a bamboo.
For obvious example, at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, no matter how powerful the Manchu Qing Dynasty was, his population was so large that he couldn't afford to consume it, but no one dared to touch it. And after the Ming army, which was defeated again and again in their hands, turned into the Manchu Green Battalion, they had to bully their own family members again.
In addition, another reason why the Jin people should be vigilant is that throughout history, at the beginning of the establishment of a country, it is often the time when its combat power is the strongest, and the people are strategically correct.
But fortunately, Daliang stationed the army in Silla, even if he didn't take the initiative to confront, he could be contained. And the Jin people are still fighting against the Turks, and it is not so easy to rise.
If you think about it, you still have to blame the Turks for this. It took more than 30 years for Nurhachi to unify the Jurchens and let Mongolia stand on his side, but it's good here, and it suddenly forces people to become unified from loose tribes, and add a big enemy for nothing, otherwise if the Jin talents rise in unison after a few decades, it will be considered an egg?
The recruitment of craftsmen went well, and there were too many people who could not eat, many of whom knew some skills, but this kind of thing naturally could not be carried out openly, not because they were afraid of the Silla authorities, who turned a blind eye to this matter. It's because I'm afraid that there are more people who know, and everyone will come over and beg to take it away, and it's really troublesome, and Zhou Shaoyu doesn't have the ability to pull them all away, and there are only a few merchant ships.
In fact, there are not a few things that pull people away, but most of them are mainly women, and Silla women have always been famous, even if they are not the kind of high-end Silla women who have been trained, there will still be people rushing to pull back the beams. In contrast, the Silla men were much more miserable, and they could only find ways to sell coolies and mix food as much as possible at the docks.
If you really can't get along, it doesn't matter, there is still a place to go.
"I can't imagine that there are still people in Dongwei who come here to recruit troops." Zhou Shaoyu looked at a few sea ships not far away, and the flag of a certain famous person in Dongwei was floating on it. There is also a light on the top, and all of them are hung with flags.
"Uh, wait, this cross-like flag...... The Shimazu family? "Zhou Shaoyu sweated profusely.
I heard that Towa now belongs to the period of the village chief's weapon fight, and the chaos is terrible, and more so that I didn't inquire, and said, since the Shimazu family has appeared, will there really be a big fool Nobunaga from the Owari Oda family? After the incident, there is another Uesugi sister in the Echigo area? How interesting this is, I wonder if that thing is a woman or not.
That guy will not marry for the rest of his life and put it aside, after all, it can be explained by the reason of faith, but it is also fixed that he will have abdominal pain on the tenth day of every month, and the cause of death is actually a woman's disease. Huh...... Well, it's far away.
Having said that, let's step on the border of Silla now, if we play through and hook up with a girl now, will we become a Silla girl?
Regarding the name of the general of Daliang in Silla, he did not inquire about it, and ordinary people would not pay attention to it, and the high-level Zhou Shaoyu who knew it was too lazy to contact it, and the Silla state had been rotten for too long, so he did not want to contact those insatiable so-called nobles. After all, you can find out about this when you go back and inquire about it.
On this side, Zhou Shaoyu is still staying in Silla, and on the other side, Jingzhou Huarong, Li Qingzhao and Xiao Jiwen's meeting again has been discussed.
The Tanzhou side can provide ten warships to be handed over to Xiao Jiwen, the first batch of five ships will be delivered, and the other five will be delivered within a year. For this number, in fact, Xiao Jiwen is quite dissatisfied, the maximum load of the warship discussed is 500 soldiers, but it is generally a ship with about 300 people, and ten ships are nothing more than a sailor army of 3,000 people, which is too little. Even if some other small warships will be traded one after another, the sailors who are ten thousand people in the sky are of little use. At most, it's better than nothing, not completely passive.
However, as Li Qingzhao said, the focus of the new naval division is not on the number of elites, completely different troops, if you are not familiar with it, no matter how many people there are, it is an illusion. This made Xiao Jiwen reluctantly accept it. Besides, she can't help it, there are really no shipbuilding talents on her own territory, and small ships can be built, but in the end, large warships are the main force. Before I researched it, I could only buy it from Tanzhou.
Although the number of purchases this time is fixed, it is not actually said to be dead, as long as you are willing to pay enough chips, it is not a problem to buy some more.
What Tanzhou is asking for is salt on the one hand, and ordinary goods on the other. And the main thing, for iron.
The biggest restriction restricting the expansion of Tanzhou's army has always been the lack of large-scale iron mines, which is not much. Although some have been found in the state today, they can be mined only and are not convenient to transport to the south. It is said that there is a large iron mine on Zhuya Island, but it is still being explored, and I don't know when it will be found.
To the land of Shuzhou, there is no shortage of iron ore, which has always produced iron, and there is no shortage at all.
In any case, the two parties must achieve a trade surplus, that is, more income than expenditure, absorb the money on Xiao Ji's territory little by little, and gradually control more economic contexts, so that they can limit Xiao Ji's purpose as soon as they make a move.
Having said that, Yun Mengze has a big customer, although Yun Mengze is easy to keep, but the materials are relatively scarce, as long as he can contact Sun Yu, why can't he sell it? And it's not cheap yet.
"There will be a big wedding in this palace next month, if you have time, you might as well come to Shuzhou to watch the ceremony." After finishing the business, Xiao Jiwen invited.
Li Qingzhao then remembered that he had long heard that Xiao Jiwen was going to marry Tubo Zampu, and if he didn't want to delay until this time, he would definitely not go. ”
After the discussion was over, Xin Xianying, who had been pondering for a while, suddenly said: "It seems that a war between Xiao and Tubo is inevitable." ”
"Huh? What do you mean by that? Li Qingzhao didn't understand the war, so he was puzzled.
"With the identity of Xiao Auntie, it is impossible to have a substantive marriage with that Tubo Zampu, at most it can only be a form marriage, in my guess, Xiao Auntie must have promised some benefits to make Na Zanpu believe. However, for Xiao Jiwen, it has always been an unstable rear, and she is helpless at the moment when the situation in Jingzhou is balanced, so it is better to take advantage of the fact that Tubo has not yet recovered its vitality and is recuperating and recuperating in one fell swoop to eliminate future troubles. Xin Xianying replied. Xiao Xiao's sister-in-law said that the ceremony in Shuzhou is a big wedding in Shuzhou, and under the favorable location and people, is there a better time to do it? ”
"However, I am curious about what Xiao Auntie promised to let Tubo Zampu take the risk of going to Shuzhou for a wedding." Xin Xianying frowned again, very puzzled.
