Chapter 649 Pirates (2)
Zhao Xu also used an edict to inquire.
Wang Ju replied, "It was helpless to build the Great Wall." The five southern states were newly attached, and people were unstable. Jiaozhi had been unhonest and secretly sent many scouts to sneak into the five states to deceive them into rebelling so that the court could not rule here."
The five states are unstable, so how can we continue to take the next step? Therefore, with the opportunity of great victory, we captured the people and built a simple city wall, first bringing the people of the five states back to their hearts, and also training the army to spy on Jiaozhi's information, so it is not time to use troops. We can use troops next year, but next year, we will guarantee that we will recover Jiaozhi for His Majesty the year after.
Wang Ju's words are just less than fourteen months old. Didn't I agree to have three to four years? Three years is still early, so don't say four years, so you don't have to worry, your prince.
A very short and concise reply, and also an understatement.
Then send someone to send it to the capital.
Huang Hua said: "Young Guardian, if Your Majesty knows the plan of the Young Guardian, you will definitely be very happy."
"Maybe, but others may not agree," Wang Ju said.
Huang Hua was silent. The Song Dynasty was not like the Tang Dynasty and was not interested in expanding territory. If Jiaozhi had not done too much this time, he might not have agreed to Wang Ju's use of troops in the south.
The Jiaozhi people sent the accused people, with a total of more than 20,000 people. This time they looked a little bit like a little, with men and women, mainly Ding Zhuang, but Tao Bi pointed at the crowd and said, "It's too much to deceive people!"
There were many women in the crowd, some holding their children, some were just born, and some had big belly. Needless to say, everyone knew what happened. This was brought here, and I'm afraid that some children would not agree to let them bring them over, or even the women themselves held them to let them come back.
Wang Ju patted Tao Bi's back with his hand. Old Tao had been working hard in the south for a long time and was in poor health. He was old again and could not get sick.
Tao Bi took a breath and asked, "Young Bao, what do you think about it?"
Ignore Tao Zongyuan.
It’s okay if the child is in the other party. It’s okay if he loses his chastity. The main thing is that these hundreds of women who have just given birth or pregnant women who have big belly. If you take it back, their family will inevitably be in chaos.
"Mr. Tao, there are not many people. Send officials to their house to comfort them and give them some money." Wang Ju said. As for the others, what can Wang Ju do?
Wang Ju summoned Tao Zongyuan with his hand and said, "It's more than just such a small number of people. I have sent someone to verify it. You Jiaozhi may have kidnapped 150,000 people. These people have handed over it truthfully."
Wang Juzhen sent someone to check, but many of them were barbarian tribes. Even the Han people were calculated in units of households in the Song Dynasty, not in units of mouth, and some were hidden households, so an accurate number could not be found.
Only through repeated verification, the three states reduced the number of people to about 230,000 to about 230,000 before and after the withdrawal of troops in Jiaozhi. The fewer than 200,000, and the more than 230,000 will be less than 230,000.
But even the Jiaozhi people didn't know how many people they killed and how many people they kidnapped.
Wang Ju asked someone to dig up the corpses again, and nearly 90,000 corpses were dug out from front and back. Some of them may be the corpses of Jiaozhi people who were shot dead by the Song people. However, many corpses have not been found, and time has passed, so it is unlikely that they would verify the number of people killed through the corpses.
Wang Ju reported these situations to the capital again.
Otherwise, over time, some ministers in the court said that peace is the most important thing.
Tao Zongyuan said: "Young Bao, you touch your conscience and say, will there be so many people?"
The people who were kidnapped were not as big as 150,000. But they could argue, but Wang Ju didn't want to argue anymore. The matter had to end early, so he said: "Can you guarantee that you are not as good as our Song people?"
"Shaobao. He kidnapped some people, but some people were in Sumaozhou and other places. Shaobao could send people to rescue them, and some people were indeed dead. Some people were taken to remote places and it was difficult to repay them."
"No need to say anything. In this way, I will give back as much people as you give back to you."
"Young Guard, are you..."
"Is it something? Is our Song Dynasty afraid that you Jiaozhi will invade again? By the way, Qinzhou Port has empty troops, and you Jiaozhi can invade again by sea."
"No, Shaobao, please be reasonable."
"We in the Song Dynasty talk about reasoning with you, so you talk about fists. Now we talk about fists, and you talk about reasoning again, but I don't know which reason this is?"
"Young Insurance..."
"No need to say anything. I don't care what methods you Jiaozhi use. The people you kidnapped must be found out one by one and handed over to us. Also, the departments you Jiaozhi bought by illegal means in the past must also be handed over, otherwise this matter will not be over!"
And Wang Ju did do the same.
The Great Wall west of Liangzhou has been repaired. Guo Kui chose to go south from here because the water network here is relatively sparse, so the difficulty of the project has decreased. Wang Ju counted the people who were captured from here and ordered more than 40,000 people. The number of people who were repaying Jiaozhi was the same as that of Jiaozhi, and handed it to Jiaozhi. The remaining people took them to the east to continue to build the Great Wall. But Wang Ju was still very kind and righteous. It was not like Jiaozhi. The people of each household had already been disrupted. Wang Ju returned it to Jiaozhi on household basis.
Let's move to the east together, and some of the troops will be freed up.
Wang Ju started to act internally.
When Jiaozhi invaded, all the five southern states sent troops, some reformed themselves, Xiangliangzhou Huangjinman led most of the tribes to surrender to the Song Dynasty.
If the Song Dynasty does not act, the fate of gold will be very miserable. However, when Wang Ju comes, the fate of gold will be changed. Moreover, the tribes of Liangzhou have also reaped some oil and water when Wang Ju plunders. After the officers and soldiers plunder, most of the remaining villages and villages were handed over to the people of Liangzhou to further plunder. Wang Ju ordered the five states to further search the people of the Song Dynasty. Whether it was you who were kidnapped, bought, or assigned to you by Jiaozhi, as long as you handed over it, you would not ask.
Huang Jinman took the lead in allowing the tribes to further search, and it can be said that almost all of them were handed over. Although Silangzhou participated, it was not many because of its remoteness, so there were not many people captured, and there might be some. There were also some tribes in Guangyuanzhou and Menzhou who still did not hand over all the people, and Su Maozhou had not handed over more.
However, Wang Ju made a pussy and forced out thousands of people.
But at that time, the troops were insufficient, so Wang Ju never sent a large army to shock him.
Start now.
The first one to attack Su Maozhou, who led the troops personally. The villages were swept through one by one, rescued the people of the Song Dynasty, and then drove these people out of the Great Wall.
And this is only the first step…
"It's probably that. General Yan is not willing to be cruel, otherwise the old cotton island would be wiped out," said Huang Liang.
"There is a small population now, so it doesn't work if it's such a large territory. Moreover, General Yan is the executor. He is a good general, not an executioner."
"I guess there are hundreds of thousands of people on the island, not even less than half a million."
"It doesn't matter. After all, it's so big and the terrain is complicated. Even if General Yan pushes him, Brother Dongliang will not be able to bring everyone together. But after General Yan sweeps, the large tribes were dispersed together, and even if there are many natives, it's not harmful. In this way, I will write a letter to Ge Shaohua and ask him to arrange personnel. Try to migrate more people. Brother Heng, is it okay with Dongliang?"
"Fortunately, more than 400 people were sacrificed."
The entire plan was actually not complicated. Yan Da led the army to push forward, and Lu Herang brought more than a dozen veterans Wang Ju deliberately recruited and 4,000 soldiers recruited by overseas immigrants, to the island.
This is the benefit of a large population. If Wang Ju is willing, he can now recruit 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers overseas. Of course, there is no need, but there are also many soldiers. Not only used in this plan, but various settlements also recruit some soldiers to station for protection.
Yan Da was pushing. Lu Herang came to rescue with thousands of subordinates. At the beginning, the rescued women, children, young and old were all the women, and the young must be the main ones. Lu Herang's identity was "whitewashed". The team was getting bigger and bigger, and Lu Herang bravely led his men to attack a Yan Da's military weapon warehouse and obtained a large amount of armor and weapons. So four thousand soldiers began to be equipped with openly.
However, as the snowball grew bigger and bigger, some natives were smarter and questioned Lu Herang's vocation. There were many doubts, including their appearances. Some people wanted power. Lu Herang once again bravely led his subordinates to attack a port of the Song army and seized countless ships and food.
There is no doubt anymore.
But they were not rivals of the Song army, so they retreated step by step.
As the leader, we must lead everyone to a life path. Lu Herang used a ship to load these people on some medium and large islands in the southeast.
This is not a small number of people, but hundreds of thousands, or even nearly one million people.
Although there are some medium and large islands in the southeast, as long as these people go up, the food will be swept away, so they have to sweep them one by one like locusts. However, there will be a battle, and it will be a real battle. Sacrifice appears in these battles. But one thing is that after such sweeping, many tribes on each island are forced to join the sweeping army, and the number of people is increasing. What is needed is this huge number of people, so that we can start to implement the Beibu Gulf pirate plan mentioned by Wang Ju.
And in this way, it will be less difficult to occupy those series of islands in the future.
Although it is very backward here, there is still a lot of production and the military expenses are available.
As for some islands in the southwest, they were not half as planned, so they sent people to set up settlements very early. However, there is also a relatively large island in the southeast, not Laomian Island, but Mindanao. Because it is too big, no matter how many people Lu Herang brought up, it is impossible to have a sweep result. Otherwise, if the crowds here are densely populated in the future, it will become a hidden danger. After all, in Wang Ju's plan, there are some powerful countries on the west side of the route, so there are no need to provoke them, but Wang Ju wants to occupy the islands on the east side.
However, when Wang Ju was telling Yan Da, Yan Da couldn't bear it and made several requests to Wang Ju.
Including the people last year, they tried to treat them as kind as possible and placed them as much as possible in the future. In addition, the 100,000 people brought back by Huang Liang this time, they first asked them to build bridges and roads on Guangnan West Road, build water conservancy, and then place them in various places so as to give more people a way out.
Wang Judu agreed.
Therefore, I have been working hard to build ships in recent years, just for this year.
However, the speed of shipbuilding has slowed down this year, and shipbuilding will still be built, but the tonnage has increased and the technology has become more advanced. Some backward ships will be eliminated in order to improve navigation safety.
Huang Liang quickly returned to Qiongzhou Island with Wang Ju's handwriting. With the cooperation of local officials, he first migrated the people around the port and asked them to stay in other places for one year to one year and six months, but he gave him a considerable reward.
Then the Ding Zhuang on the ship gathered together and started to build the Great Wall in these dozens of miles of radius. However, the length is only a dozen miles, and the project volume is not too large. And the dock is renovated. This place will be very important in more than a month.
When it was almost over, Huang Liang began to use small and medium-sized sea ships to carry these people, including grain, to Qinzhou Port, and then disperse them everywhere.
However, although Wang Ju was kind to these people and gave them a way out, the proportion of women, children, young and old was too large. Moreover, after arriving at the destination, many of these women, children, young and old, began to run away when they saw that the care was loose.
In fact, Wang Jurang deliberately threw these people away and asked Huang Liang to force them onto the ship to take them inland, which was to give them a way out.
But can there be a way out in this vast mountainous area?
Some people are smart and come back after a few days of hunger.
Some people escaped and never came back.
In fact, after taking care of this loosely for some time, no one has taken care of them anymore. If you want to escape, run away. If you have the affinity, don’t come back.
Although Wang Ju is a decision maker, he is also pretending to be an ostrich, just pretending not to know about these situations.
In early June, Jiaozhi sent another group of people, and this time the number was only a few thousand.
Wang Ju also paid back ten thousand people.
Tao Zongyuan said with a bitter face: "Young Guard, we can do nothing, and we really admit our mistake."
"I will not believe what I admit my mistake. In this way, the remaining people will take out ten coins of money to redeem the remaining people."
Tao Zongyuan had to go back quickly, and the Great Wall would soon be closed. Once it was closed, so many people would never be able to ask for it.
Jiaozhi had no choice but to agree.
In fact, there are not many. They only sold hundreds of thousands of yuan of wealth. After only breaking through one Yongzhou, they don’t know how much wealth Jiaozhi has been kidnapped. Besides, there are Qinzhou and Lianzhou, especially Qinzhou Port, many wealthy merchants were massacred. Their amazing wealth they accumulated was also plundered by Jiaozhi.
In short, Wang Ju still seems to be more "reasonable".
Tao Zongyuan counted the number of people and suddenly asked, "Shaobao, are there some soldiers?"
"They are dead, and I can't do anything," Wang Ju said as he spread his hands.
The old, sick and disabled soldiers were kept for them, and there were 6,000 strong Jiaozhi soldiers who were sent by Wang Ju to Temo Road to build roads. They attached great importance to commercial Wang Ju. Since last year, they have sent some caravans to Dali to trade, but Temo Road is very backward and the road is rugged. Therefore, Wang Ju asked a thousand soldiers to escort these 6,000 prisoners of war to expand the two business roads, namely Hengshanzhai, Yongzhou, to Temo Road, Dali, Yizhou to Ziqi, and Dali.
He also deliberately sent an envoy to explain with the local tyrants to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
Jiaozhi can never get one of these people back.
Moreover, Yan Da also led a army of tens of thousands to return, which made the Jiaozhi people even more scared. Wang Ju refused to give it to him, so Tao Zongyuan had to go back.
The Great Wall is closed.
Wang Ju started the next plan. (To be continued)
