Chapter 8: The Great Han's Military Strength
There is almost no suspense, if Liu Xuan really wants to conquer Dongying, then Dongying Island Country will immediately become a state of Dahan.
And after letting the two envoys go down, Liu Xuan cautiously began to think about taking Dongying down directly.
"Originally, I wanted to wait for the Northeast to completely stabilize before cleaning up that Dongying, but it doesn't matter if I take it in advance!"
Another point is that Dongying is still in a very primitive period, and they have not yet formed their own culture, if they occupy it at this time, then there will be no difficulty in assimilation, and they can directly become the people of the Han Dynasty.
If you wait until Dongying forms its own cultural traditions, etc., it will be more troublesome to assimilate.
At the same time, at this time, the population of Dongying was not too large, and a unified political power had not been formed, so it did not take much effort to break each one at this time.
According to Liu Xuan's estimate, as long as he brought five hundred elite soldiers, he would be able to sweep the entire big island.
"If it's only five hundred soldiers, maybe you don't have to wait until the navy is formed!"
With 500 soldiers, a few big ships can be loaded, and even the wooden-hulled ship built ten years ago can smoothly cross the sea to reach Dongying - the two envoys from Yamatai this time are not as good as the wooden boats built by the Han ten years ago!
What's more, although the shipyard can't come up with the latest metal warship, the wooden ship powered by the star core is still enough to meet Liu Xuan's current needs.
These wooden ships were made as a transition to the construction of metal ships, and apart from the fact that they were made of wood, they were not much different from metal ships in structure, and they were basically the same in appearance as later ships—they were not flat-bottomed and square-headed.
Even if the Han Navy is currently using these ships when they are conducting ship training, in terms of demand, it can fully meet Liu Xuan's current requirements.
Five hundred soldiers, just send a small fleet.
By the way, it can also give the Han Navy more experience in ocean navigation - the formation of the navy must be carried out, and he did not take the navy seriously because he wanted to enter the starry sky in the future.
Because the starships that can sail in the future are upgraded versions of surface ships in terms of construction and handling, it is also good to use the navy to train their hands first.
The Son of Heaven sat on the dragon chair and muttered, and the Chinese Wu of the Dynasty sitting below was also silent for a while, and finally Cao Cao spoke first: "Your Majesty wants to take the Evil Horse Taiwan Kingdom first?
He also thought about directly crossing the sea to occupy the entire Dongying, but Cao Cao knew that the biggest problem restricting the Han Dynasty's march into Dongying was not military strength or logistics, but transportation.
And even if a small number of soldiers were able to defeat the Dongying countries in the past, they would not be able to completely occupy and rule, so he thought that the Son of Heaven wanted to occupy one of the countries, and then occupy this place first, at least prepare a forward fortress for the Han army in the future. By the way, you can also listen to Dongying's situation clearly, and you won't be bored when you fight.
But in fact, Liu Xuan's idea was even more desperate than Cao Cao's.
"Yamatai ...... Turning it into a puppet is there a head in the state?"
He didn't tell these ministers about the specific situation, and for the rest of the day, he continued to discuss with everyone about attacking Goguryeo and Wuhuan and other alien races as if there was no such thing.
In Liu Xuan's plan, before the fifteenth year of the Han calendar, the future Northeast region should be completely occupied, of course, including the land of Sanhan at this time, which will be an important springboard - before the navy has formed a combat force, the safest route from the peninsula to Dongying.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Liu Xuan returned to the inner palace with his brows twisted, and he didn't have so many worries in the face of his own woman, he just wanted to say anything, so when Zhen Mi asked him, Liu Xuan asked directly: "Do you want to go to Dongying for a turn?", ..., "Dongying?"
One sentence attracted the attention of several women, Xiao Qiao was talking to his sister about something, and when he heard the words, he came directly to the front: "Where is Dongying that Your Majesty is talking about?"
"Dongying is in the east of Dahan, and you have to cross the sea to reach it!"
Although the knowledge in Liu Xuan's hand was not hidden, and the map was taken by these women casually, but Xiao Qiao didn't dare to be interested in these things at all, so he naturally wouldn't care.
Cai Yan and Zhen Mi are different, both of them are from scholarly families, and they are also quite studious, so most of the knowledge that Liu Xuan knows has been learned......
If you want to go out for a walk, where is the snow scene in the water towns south of the Yangtze River, the grasslands in the northwest and the eastern part of Liaodong? Moreover, they are all in the territory of the Han Dynasty, and they are all Liu Xuan's forces, so you can do whatever you want, why do you want to go to the outer land?
"Today, the lord of the Evil Horse Terrace sent a messenger to ......" said the messenger roughly, and at the same time introduced the Yamatai Empire, during which Huang Yueying seemed to be busy with her own affairs and ran over, and when she saw Liu Xuan speaking, she didn't interject, and when he finished speaking, he asked: "Yamatai......?
Liu Xuan nodded: "Although the place is not very good, some of the scenery is still good, and there are a lot of natural hot springs!"
The first to nod was naturally Huang Yueying, this girl had already said that she wanted to soak in the hot springs, but she didn't have the financial strength before, but now she doesn't have to worry about this.
And after agreeing, she immediately thought of something: "You won't be ready for that day...... Dongying did it, right?
"Why?, is it so obvious?". Liu Xuan smiled, and did not hide this at all.
When the women heard Liu Xuan's words, they didn't feel any surprise, but Da Qiao asked with a little curiosity: "Since Your Majesty said that the place is not very good, and it is on the other side of the sea, what is the use of beating it down?"
This is going to be changed, and others really don't know how to explain it, Liu Xuan was happy, and only said: "How can others be allowed to snore and sleep next to the couch?" and let the women swallow many questions back into their stomachs.
Just listening to this sentence, you will know what Your Majesty thinks, so why bother to say anything more? Not to mention that the military affairs are not something that these women are good at, so I will not make an evaluation.
Huang Yueying looked very interested, and asked: "How are you going to fight?" Do you want me to hurry up and make him a hundred and eighty fat men or little boys or something like that?"
Liu Xuan listened to the black line in his head: "Will you make it?"
"No...... But you can make some substitutes, in fact, among the things you taught me, there are a lot of miscellaneous things, and there are many things that can replace them, but it is more difficult to make, and it will take a lot of time......"
Liu Xuan waved his hand: "Forget it, if you really toss that time, don't soak in any hot springs, it is estimated that Dongying can still exist is two words!"
Moreover, Liu Xuan didn't want Dongying to disappear directly, he wanted to occupy and rule! Not to mention that Dongying was facing the Pacific Ocean and was an excellent naval base, so it would be too wasteful to destroy it like this.
As for the inhabitants of Dongying, they are still a group of natives, and they have nothing to comment on. After the Sinicization education,,There will be no future of the so-called big x nation in a few decades.。
Now Liu Xuan is entangled not in what is how to occupy, but whether to keep some of the local 'characteristics'? For example, those surnames with very 'special meanings'?..., holding Cai Yan while thinking about it and falling asleep, and when he got up the next day, Liu Xuan had already made a decision, and directly summoned several close civil and military officers to the imperial study to give detailed instructions.
"This time against the battle against Wuhuan, I will go to the front line!"
"This ......"
Everyone, look at me, I'll look at you, I don't know what kind of trouble this is going to make during the day?
It is not uncommon for the Son of Heaven to personally conquer, not to mention that this battle is still a big battle to expand the territory, but the Son of Heaven did not say that he wanted to go to the front line?
Liu Xuan didn't let them guess for too long, and said directly: "Those two envoys from the Evil Horse Taiwan Kingdom will also accompany them, and then I will let them see with their own eyes how my Han destroyed Goguryeo and Wuhuan!"
As for Xianbei, Xianbei was extremely powerful at this time, and its territory covered a large area of land in northern Inner Mongolia and Mongolia to the south of Russia.
It's not so easy to destroy Xianbei, first clean up Wuhuan and Goguryeo, and then slowly deal with Xianbei - not to mention the vast territory of Xianbei, that place is still a large grassland, the land is sparsely populated and there is no city, a soldier and horse will lose their way if they are not careful, if they catch up with the bad weather, it is not uncommon for thousands of people to die on the grassland in vain.
"But it won't stay long, after defeating the pill capital, I will take a group of soldiers and horses and those two envoys directly south, and go straight to the Dongying Evil Horse Tai Kingdom by boat......"
Cao Cao immediately understood the intention of the Son of Heaven, but Xun Yu and the others frowned: "Your Majesty, even if you want to take the Evil Horse Tai Kingdom, you don't need Your Majesty to go out in person, you just need to send a general to lead the troops and horses!"
In their eyes, the Yamatai Kingdom can be fought at any time, and it can be fought if it wants to.
Those countries that were just an indigenous tribe in the eyes of the Han courtiers deserved such a solemn treatment from the great Han Dynasty? However, Liu Xuan didn't want to finish the matter by defeating Yamatai, he was going to directly turn Yamatai into his puppet, and then let the soldiers of Yamatai help him conquer and govern the entire Dongying.
In such a war, it can also effectively consume Dongying's resistance forces, and at the same time ...... He can also experiment with something there.
Cao Cao Xu guessed something, so he didn't raise any objections, but suggested: "Your Majesty wants to go to Dongying, you must be well prepared, in addition to guarding the generals, you also need to bring the necessary palace maids and eunuchs!"
Liu Xuan nodded: "I let Cao Bao arrange this matter!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone knew that the Son of Heaven had already decided on this matter, so naturally they would not say anything more. As for the government, there is no major event in the country now, and with the existence of a communicator, urgent matters can be contacted directly, and nothing will be delayed.
Therefore, the affairs were quickly arranged, and even the two envoys of Yamatai knew that the main envoys of the Great Han Kingdom were going to Yamatai, and they would also bring the most elite soldiers of the Great Han Kingdom with them, and decide whether to help the Yamatai Kingdom quell the 'rebellion' depending on the situation.
The two messengers were amazed and delighted.
I am glad that the mission of my mission this time can be said to have been successfully accomplished, but what is surprising is that the Han sent elite troops, and even its emperor went there in person, this posture is obviously ill-intentioned, and I don't know what I have brought back to the Yamatai Kingdom this time? Anyway, it doesn't look like pure luck.
It's a pity that in the current situation, it's no longer something they can refuse if they want to, looking at the five hundred Tiger Guard soldiers with bright armor and ready to go, the fierce appearance and cold shining armor made the two of them tingle for a while. ..., as soon as the general led by the five hundred soldiers appeared, the two of them almost sat down on the ground in fright, making the people around them laugh, but the general was embarrassed.
This person is none other than Dian Wei.
Dian Wei is tall and strong, and his face is extremely terrifying, ordinary people are all terrified when they see it, these two were already shocked by the appearance of the Tiger Guard, and at this time they suddenly saw Dian Wei, and it was already good to pee their pants without being scared.
In addition to Dian Wei, there were two generals in black armor who wore strict faces that even covered their faces, and there were no guards or flags beside them, but they didn't know who they were.
It's just that one of them is slender and slender, it should be a woman, and the other has an extremely wide blade on his waist, and he doesn't know if it's a knife or a sword, although the two of them are quite far away, but they can also feel the chill exuding from hitting the weapon, plus these two people don't want to enter, and they don't even feel angry at all, which makes people feel like they are in the cold winter wax moon.
"This great Han kingdom...... Why are there so many weirdness?"
They only dare to think about this in their hearts, and they never dare to say it.
In comparison, the big man who was eight feet tall, with broad shoulders and thick waist and a spear in his hand, looked much more normal - although the leopard's head and eyes were quite shocking, but at least he was human, and the noisy ones were quite popular.
This time Liu Xuan went to Yamatai, and the generals around him took Zhang Fei and Dian Wei, of course, this is on the surface.
In fact, the two who acted as their guards were Sun Ce and Sun Shangxiang.
Speaking of which, Sun Shangxiang's transformation speed was unexpectedly fast, and he broke the crystal just in time to make his decision.
After the resurrection, Sun Shangxiang was dressed in black armor, although it was heavy, it did not cover the beautiful figure, and this armor can also change on its own, and it can even expose the slender and toned waist and thighs, which looks a little more sexy.
Of course, when he went out, Liu Xuan would let her 'fully armed', not that he was reluctant to let others see it, but just wanted to make less trouble.
In addition, the most eye-catching estimate is Huang Yueying and Diao Chan, who are also riding on horses, looking left and right, although these two concubines of the Son of Heaven have long been famous, but not many people have seen them, although Huang Yueying is not a national beauty in the Han Dynasty, but her appearance is not bad, and there is no discrimination against skin color in Dongying, so these two envoys were immediately shocked.
And Diao Chan? They already regard Diao Chan as a fairy in the sky, and they feel that such a beautiful woman is absolutely impossible to have in the world.
It's just that they don't understand the 'rules', and there are people staring at them next to them! This time, Chen Lin, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, was with him, as the envoy of the Han Dynasty, when he saw these two being so rude, he immediately coughed heavily, and then kindly reminded them: These two are His Majesty's concubines, and some people are good to restrain themselves.
As soon as the two of them heard that these two women were actually the women of the lord of the Han Kingdom, they immediately took their eyes back, for fear of getting into trouble - although the beauty is good, it has to be touched to eat, even if such a woman looks at it more, it is a disaster, it is better to forget it quickly.
This time, it was these two women who accompanied Liu Xuan to Yamatai, and after thinking about it, Cai Yan decided to stay in Luoyang and not go along.
And Zhen Mi saw that Cai Yan was not going, so she decided to stay with Cai Yan, so as not to make Cai Yan boring alone. As for the Qiao sisters, they always felt that there was nothing interesting in Dongying, so they were not ready to go.
Diao Chan is not afraid of anything, and Huang Yueying, a girl who wants to play with everything, came together. ..., not to talk about the chatter of these two women, Liu Xuan took the lead and led the five hundred tiger guards out of the imperial city, and the two Yamatai envoys who thought that they had opened their eyes and seen the powerful military power of the Han Kingdom only then knew how ignorant they were, and the powerful military power he saw with his own eyes just now turned out to be a drizzle for the powerful Han people.
After coming out of the imperial city, there was immediately a forbidden army with no end in sight, surrounding the less than a thousand people, Liu Xuan didn't feel anything, but scared the two evil horse envoys enough to think that something had happened.
And after thinking that this was enough exaggeration, as soon as they came out of Luoyang, the soldiers and horses that didn't know how far and couldn't see the end made the two of them extremely pale.
"These ...... These ......"
While Chen Lin despised these two foreign barbarians who had never seen the world, a sense of pride also rose: "These are the armies of my Great Han, and they are about to go to Liaodong to conquer Goguryeo and Wuhuan and other ...... who dare to provoke the majesty of my Great Han."
Urban Niu Li's lips trembled for a long time, and finally asked: "This ...... How many are there?"
"Not much, only 50,000 soldiers and horses!"
In a word, the two almost fell off their horses.
"Fifty thousand?
At this time, Nanshengmi suddenly remembered a question: "The Great Han Kingdom...... How many soldiers are there?"
Chen Lin didn't need to think much about this question, and casually reported a number: "At present, my Han Dynasty has a full 400,000 forbidden army alone. ”
