Chapter 309: Preparations Before Conquering the Qinnan Peninsula
After Zhang Liang left, Nanshi hurriedly walked in.
I put down the newspaper in my hand and looked at him with a smile: "Almost most of the Yi people in Qindong Island have become slaves, and this time you came back with ten big ships full of grain, you did a good job!" ”
Nanshi arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty has praised it falsely, the Yi people are really as your Majesty said and do not know how to educate, although the island strictly prohibits the Yi people from learning knowledge, but they don't even understand the most basic etiquette and humility, and the ministers can only punish the law harshly, if it is not for the sudden increase in slaves, Qindong Island will not be able to produce so much food." ”
I nodded and said in a deep voice, "I still say the same thing, treat little Japan...... Yi people don't have to be soft, they should be killed, even if they are slaughtered, it is a big deal to move people from Daqin again! ”
Nanshi respectfully agreed.
"In addition, I read what you said in the report, the people who came to the ferry basically chose to submit to Daqin, although it is up to them to do those things that offend the Yi people, but you must also be careful not to give them too much power to prevent chaos!"
Nanshi nodded and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the people who came to the ferry are the same as those Yi people, and they are not allowed to move around at will without the photo stickers issued by the county guards in various places, and the weapons they use to maintain the order of the Yi people are all weapons left behind by the Eight Embarrassing Emperors such as stone spears, which are vulnerable!" ”
I looked at Nanshi appreciatively, I hadn't noticed that he had such a talent before, Qi Liang belonged to the kind of person who was better off than less, and he would not move if he was not spurred, and Nanshi was extremely thoughtful in everything, which made people worry a lot.
"Very good. Ten warships came back this time, and only two were left on Qindong Island, can they suppress the Yiren? ”
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured that although Qindong Island is called an island, its area is not small, and it is like being on land on the island. There are also Yi people who try to escape from the sea, but the west is the vast sea, and the only life is in the northeast, and now the Korean Peninsula is also under Great Qin, and there is Wucheng Hou stationed there They have nowhere to escape! ”
"Good!" I muttered, "In that case, if ten warships are separated from Qindong Island, will there be any impact on Qindong Island?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, it should have no effect."
Seeing that I frowned and thought, Zhang Han said, "Your Majesty is trying to plot against the Qinnan Peninsula, right?" ”
I smiled slightly: "Daqin is short of food!" There is also a shortage of people! How can you develop and grow without plotting outwardly? The world is so big, don't you want to see it? ”
A few people laughed, and Feng Zheng arched his hand and said: "If Your Majesty wants to capture the Qinnan Peninsula, you don't need to mobilize so many warships from Qindong Island, ten more warships have been built in Panyu Port in one year, and five more are about to be built, just the ships in Panyu Port are enough, right?" ”
"Oh?" I was curious: "It's only been a year, and Fifteen warships have been built in Panyu Port?" So fast? ”
Because I can't use ships for the time being, I rarely pay attention to the situation in Panyu Port, but Feng Zai's words gave me a surprise.
Feng Zheng nodded and responded: "The technology of building warships is becoming more and more sophisticated, compared to the first batch of warships, the new warships are nearly two feet longer!" There is also much more food, grass and soldiers that can be accommodated! The Shosakufu sent someone there to guide the construction of the battleship, and at the same time, he was experimenting with the new Daifuku ship! ”
I pondered for a while and said, "In this case, there is no need for the battleships on Qindong Island to be transferred south, the newly built warships in Panyu Port are enough!" ”
I looked at Nanshi and ordered: "You can look at the twelve warships, you have a world map in your hands, in addition to transporting grain and grass back and forth from Qindong Island to Daqin, you can also open up to the north, just pay attention to the ocean current, wind direction, and climate, don't drift to East Qinzhou and encounter winter again, then you will have no way to go to the sky." ”
"In addition, as for the Yi people, it is still the current practice, and other details will be performed on the day of the great court meeting. Go and rest, live a savage life on Qindong Island, and return to Xianyang to relax and relax! ”
Nanshi stood up and saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Retire! ”
After Nanshi left, I first said to Li Si: "Li Xiang, the east of Great Qin has reached the extreme, in addition to the Qinnan Peninsula and the Kunlun South Peninsula to the west, which can provide a large amount of arable land, it is no longer profitable to go west, but the crops of East Qinzhou are bound to win!" ”
Hearing this, Li Si arched his hand and said: "The minister understands, the minister of the Panyu Port Experimental Dafu Ship will pay attention to it, the Langya Port has been completed, and the Langya shipyard drawings handed over to the minister by His Majesty, the minister will also order Li Taibo to recruit the people to start building as soon as possible!" ”
The biggest advantage of talking to Li Si is that he can easily understand my words, although it is a person of two eras, there are almost no barriers to communication, and a hero is a talent!
"Good!" I looked at Zhang Han again: "Just now Feng Zai said that there are fifteen more powerful warships in Panyu Port, so let's start preparing for the capture of the Qinnan Peninsula!" Although there are indigenous people like the Yi people, but it is not to be underestimated, just occupy the southern plains, and the jungle is not enterable, once it is dragged into the quagmire like Lingnan, I don't know how long the occupation of the Kunlun South Peninsula will be delayed. ”
Zhang Han said solemnly: "The minister understands! ”
"That's right." I reminded: "Whether it is a barbarian or an educated person to the west of Exi, you can't use such an extreme method as the treatment of the Yi people of Qindong Island. ”
Zhang Han said curiously: "Your Majesty, they are all barbarians, why do you treat them differently?" ”
I shook my head and explained: "The barbarians of Qindong Island are extremely disgusted, this is one thing, and the other is that even though Qindong Island is big, it is lonely overseas, even if the strict punishment and strict laws make the Yi people rebel, they have no ability to influence Great Qin. But it is not the same as those who are on a land, if they oppress the people of a certain land...... No, squeezing...... No, edification, right! If the education is too strong, once the rebellion is provoked, it is easy to burn the flames of war to the Great Qin itself, wouldn't that be a cocoon and self-restraint! ”
Zhang Han was puzzled: "Do those barbarians have that much ability?" ”
I laughed and said, "Slaves will awaken too!" ”
The reason why I included all the conquered lands into Great Qin, instead of adopting a more labor-saving colonial method, was that I was worried that one day the colonial independence movement broke out in Great Qin, and the inclusion of those lands in the administrative system of Great Qin would speed up the assimilation of them.
Several people nodded thoughtfully, and Zhang Han arched his hand and said, "The minister understands!" During the invasion, the ministers will try to avoid intensifying the conflict with the local barbarians! Occupy there with the king's division! ”
"Well, there are more than 20,000 ready-made sailors in Panyu Port, following the example of Qindong Island, and also sending 200 musketeers from the Ganquan Army to Panyu Port to fight together. After the food, grass and ordnance are ready, choose the right general! ”
"Obey orders!"
Now that the musketeers appear more and more frequently, there is no need to deliberately conceal their existence, but for the sake of caution, all the musketeer generals sent out separately are drawn from the Ganquan army, and their loyalty is not a little higher than that of other Qin troops!
