Privy Council War Department Conference Room.

Wen Yi, Xie Daoyun, Chai Ben, He Fang, Zhao Zhengzhi, Li Zhong, Yue Shan, Wu Heng and others are holding a meeting.

Chai Ben pointed to the map and said, "The Ryukyu Islands stretch for more than 2,000 miles, but they can be divided into four major island groups. ”

"Panyujima Island (Sakishima Islands), Mantao Island (Okinawa), Shiwajima Island (Amami Islands), and Senshu Island (Tanegashima Island)."

The first three new names of these islands are easy to take, and the fourth is not, but the ancient Chinese name for Tanegashima.

In the 3rd and 4th centuries A.D., the maritime merchants of Wuyue came to the Uno Kingdom to trade, and left a record that Tanegashima and Yakushima were called Shushu.

"Panxian Island is less than three hundred miles away from Zongbei Port, and 1,800 miles away from the Japanese slave country, I suggest that only a supply base be built on it, and there is no need to build a fortress."

"Mantao Island is the center of the Ryukyu Islands and the largest island, and it is possible to establish a prefecture here and use it as a hub."

"The island is located in the middle of Wantao Island and Lanzhou Island, and it is only 500 miles away from it, so it can be built into an advance base to provide support for Lanzhou Island."

"The point is on the island of Lanzhou, which is only a few dozen miles away from the Japanese slave country, and is the bridgehead of all our plans, so it is necessary to build a strong enough fortification on this island."

"Build fortified cities under the noses of the enemy...... I am applying for the allocation of sufficient cement. ”

Wen Yi said: "The analysis is good, the cement can be allocated to you." However, there is one thing you are wrong about, you have enough time to build a city on the island. ”

Chai Ben was a little puzzled.

Zhao Zhengzhi explained: "According to our investigation, the island is now not part of the territory of the Japanese slave state, but a terra nullius. ”

"There are only a small number of natives and Unu living on the island, and even the most basic tribes have not yet been formed."

"The closest to the island is a feudal kingdom called Hayato Province (Kagoshima), which is even more backward and chaotic than Jin'an County five years ago."

"If we don't take the initiative to send troops to attack them, they won't pay attention to it even if we occupy Lanzhou Island, so you have enough time to build a fortress."

Chai Ben asked, "Is the situation in Hayato Country and Lanzhou Island similar to the situation in Guangzhou and Hainan Island?" ”

Zhao Zhengzhi said: "It can be understood in this way, but the strength of the Hayato Country is at most equivalent to Jin'an County five years ago, and Lanzhou Island is equivalent to Ningnan City five years ago." ”

Chai Ben said happily: "Then I will be more relieved." ”

Wen Yi warned: "Don't underestimate the enemy, you must know that the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength. ”

Chai Ben said solemnly: "Yes." ”

He Fang got up and said: "The minister thinks that he has some experience in building cities and fighting with sailors, and wants to go to Lanzhou Island to be responsible for building fortresses. ”

Wen Yi smiled and said: "He Qing is too modest, you are the general of the water division of my Tang Kingdom, I am only happy that you are willing to go." ”

He Fang replied: "King Xie trusts, and he is ashamed. ”

Wen Yi Zhengse said: "But you can't just think about building a city when you go there, you have to observe and understand the situation of the Japanese slave country and the Mao people's country, and think about how to implement our plan." ”

He Fang said solemnly: "Obey." ”

That's why he's going there.

Although he is the founder of the Tang State Naval Division and is a general of the Naval Division, as a general, what he wants more is the real merits on the battlefield.

Everyone can see that in the next five or even ten or twenty years, the Japanese slave country and the Mao people will be the main battlefield of the Tang State, and they will also be the first choice for these generals to make meritorious contributions.

As long as he can build the fortress of Lanzhou and then open up the situation, this credit will be enough for him to eat for a lifetime.

Even if he is gone, this merit will be enough to earn a title of nobility for future generations.

That's why he took the initiative to invite Ying to go to Shanzhou Island.

For Wen Yi, Lanzhou is a bridgehead, the front line of the future conquest plan of the Japanese slave state, and the foundation must be laid.

And if Tang has this ability, there is only one He Fang.

It's just that He Fang is the general of the navy, and letting him go to Lanzhou Island is equivalent to asking the commander-in-chief of the navy to build a bunker on a small island.

That's not an emphasis but an insult.

Now He Fang offered to go, which is a matter of both the best.

With a boss and a charge general, Wen Yi directly named: "Li Zhong, Yue Shan, Wu Heng, Wen Mu...... Well, Shi Dangdang and Daniel Zhang...... All of you are going to the Ryukyus with your troops. ”

"Yes." Everyone replied in unison.

Especially Daniel Zhang and Shi Dangdang, who had been the commanders of the guards for several years, had long wanted to go out to lead troops to fight.

They didn't dare to mumble in front of Wen Yi, so they thought of Mrs. Diplomacy.

asked his daughter-in-law to go into the palace to accompany Xie Daoyun, and kept talking about the war in and out of the words, which meant that it was Sima Zhao's heart.

This time it will simply be fulfilled for them.

The forbidden army is to protect the palace and the royal city, and it must be the most elite army in the world.

In the future, the forbidden army must be held in rotation by the border army, and it will be rotated every three to five years.

"By the end of the year, our army will exceed 30,000 people, and we will select a group of people to be regiment commanders and battalion commanders.

"The gap between the company commanders and platoon commanders below is even greater, tell the whole army the news, and those who perform well will be given priority to promotion."

"Yes." The crowd was excited.

Who doesn't like to be promoted and get rich.

Leaving the Privy Council, Wen Yi and Xie Daoyun walked side by side towards the harem.

Seeing that she seemed to have something on her mind, Wen Yi asked, "You don't have much to say today, what do you think?" ”

Xie Daoyun said with emotion: "Back then, we only had 2,000 old and young women and children, and we fled to Lingnan from Huiji County...... I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, I wasn't optimistic about the future at the time. ”

"Based on the situation at the time, I predicted that less than 30% of them would be able to walk the more than 1,000 miles alive."

"But under your leadership, not only did we lose our personnel, but our team grew to 5,500 people."

"It's a miracle, and it's this miracle that made me choose to stay, and I want to see if you can create a bigger miracle."

"It turns out that you are even more powerful than I thought, and in just four years you have created a rich country with 500,000 people and 30,000 troops."

"The country is still growing at an astonishing rate, and I can't imagine what it will be like in 10 years."

"When you told me that you wanted to rule the world in 40 years, I think you can do it in 30 years at most. If firearms were to be developed, it would be possible to do so in 20 years. ”

Being praised by his daughter-in-law like this, Wen Yi was very happy in his heart, but he did not lose his mind: "Twenty years is still too hasty, what we have to do is not to win the world but to change the world." ”

"There is no hope for relying on those people on the mainland, and we must cultivate completely new talents according to our own ideas."

"The new population of the Tang Kingdom needs twenty years to grow, and it also needs at least ten years to exercise their abilities. When they really grow up, it is time to end the troubled times. ”

Xie Daoyun said puzzledly: "Can't you unify the world first, and then go back and transform the world?" ”
