Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2326 Sima Lang, the prefect of Lu Song, conquered the Japanese army in Qin, Wei, Wu and Song Dynasties
Chapter 2322: Lu Song Taishou Sima Lang, Qin, Wei, Wu Song conquered the Japanese army
The area of ​​Luzon Island is about 30 square kilometers, while Yizhou Island is only 3.6 square kilometers.

In other words, the size of one Luzon Island is equivalent to the size of eight Yizhou Islands.

The reason why Ying Hao proposed to emigrate to develop Luzon is just to plan for the future, not because he wants to completely occupy this big island now, he is used to planning everything in advance.

Moreover, the investment in emigrating to Luzon is not large for the current Daqin, and will not affect the process of unification, and the cost will be recovered soon, and a lot of money can be made.

"But if that's the case, why not immigrate to Yizhou first?"

Xun Yu questioned, and said: "Yizhou Island is closer to our Great Qin, and not far from the Nanyang Continent. The cost of relocating people is also lower."

As soon as Xun Yu said this, all the officials immediately reacted.

Indeed, compared to emigrating to Luzon thousands of miles away, immigrating to Yizhou Island east of Jiangdong is obviously more convenient for Daqin.

"late."

Ying Hao shook his head and explained: "According to the information obtained by the Black Ice Terrace, Yizhou Island was discovered long after the Wu Kingdom repelled the Japanese pirates, and Sun Ce also landed on the island not long after, and conquered it. Aborigines, and migrated to the island of Jiangdong people.

Yizhou Island is too close to Jiangdong. Although Wu State has not yet completely occupied it, if my Great Qin emigrates to this island, it will definitely tear itself apart from Wu State and lose the only ally in the south of the Yangtze River. "

Although the invasion of the Japanese pirates caused heavy losses to the state of Wu, it also brought out the domestic troubles in Wu, and after the war, the big island of Yizhou was discovered, which was naturally a surprise to the state of Wu.

The local aristocratic family in Jiangdong is extremely powerful, and most of the land is controlled by the aristocratic family. Even Sun Jian dare not carry out the land reform.

The internal conflicts in Wu State were already very intense, and Sun Jian neither dared nor had any solution, but at this time he discovered the big island of Yizhou.

Once Yizhou Island is developed, it can solve the plight of 10,000+ or ​​even hundreds of thousands of people in Wu State, who have no land to cultivate, and naturally it will be enough to alleviate the internal contradictions of Wu State.

So it was naturally impossible for Sun Jian not to eat the fat of Yizhou.

After hearing Ying Hao's explanation, Xun Yu showed a clear expression. He understood why his Majesty did not choose Yizhou, but chose Luzon Island farther away. It turned out that Yizhou has become the Chinese food of Wu Kingdom. Yes.

"If that's the case, Luzon is indeed more suitable than Yizhou. After all, it's just an undeveloped desert island, and it's not worthy of the enmity between Qin and Wu." Xun Yu pondered.

"But Your Majesty, Luzon Island is too far away from Daqin, and we don't know anything about the island. Would it be rash to emigrate rashly?" Wang Meng frowned.

Ye Qingmei showed approval. She did not land on Luzon Island during her voyage to the West this time, so she doesn't know the situation on the island. God knows what power is there on the island?
Ying Hao laughed and said, "How can you be ignorant? Long before the first voyage to the West, I have secretly dispatched a small fleet of women to land on Luzon Island to collect information."

Ye Qingmei froze for a moment, is there such a thing?Why don't I know?

Ye Qingmei was sure that this voyage to the West only passed four stops, and did not send troops to Luzon to explore, but why did Ying Hao say that he sent people there?
When Ye Qingmei was puzzled, she found that Ying Hao was blinking at her, and immediately understood that Ying Hao was asking her to smooth things over for her, so she pretended to cough, moistened her throat, and said, "That's right. , His Majesty asked the minister to secretly explore Luzon Island..."

Saying that, Ye Qingmei told the geography and climate information about the Philippines from her memory.

Ying Hao naturally knew that Ye Qingmei had never been to Luzon, but this did not prevent him from immigrating to Luzon.

You must know that the local aboriginals in Luzon began to establish a country around the 14th century.

In today's Luzon Island, there are only some barbarians who drink blood, and the number is estimated to not be too many, at most tens of millions.

Even if among the hidden characters of Baizhao of foreign races, there are local characters from Luzon from later generations, and the major tribes in Luzon were unified in advance, they cannot be the opponents of the regular army of the Great Qin. Instead, they will only increase the labor force for the development of Luzon by the Great Qin.

After listening to what Ye Qingmei said, all the ministers knew that His Majesty was not unprepared, so they stopped speaking out against it. After all, the little investment in immigrating to Luzon was really nothing to Daqin now.

Seeing this, Ying Hao smiled and said, "Since this is the case, the plan of emigrating to develop Luzon should be carried out together with the second voyage to the West.

The relocated people will be recruited in Youzhou and Qingbei. The first batch of people will be 5 people, mainly young and strong. "

It is very troublesome to immigrate and develop a deserted island. First, you have to choose an area by the sea to build a port, and then you have to build a city in a plain area, and open up wasteland for farming, etc., all of which require a lot of labor.

If the people who immigrated there are old and frail, they obviously cannot bear such a high-intensity labor.

"Your Majesty, all the people in Daqin basically have fields to plant. I'm afraid they may not be willing to go to other places and start from scratch." Han Fei said.

Ying Hao was startled when he heard the words, and then realized that refugees leave their hometowns only when they can't survive. If there is still a way to survive, who would want to leave their hometowns and embark on a road of life and death.

Under Daqin's policy of benefiting the people, the people's life is getting better and better. Let them leave their homes and go to a deserted island to open up wasteland. Obviously, not many people will be willing.

"That's a problem."

After pondering for a while, Ying Hao said, "You can promise to distribute the land to the people twice as much as the local land, so as to attract the people to go.

If not enough people can be recruited, the prisoners from various counties in Kyushu will be dispatched to Luzon as a labor force.

By the way, didn't you buy back tens of thousands of female slaves when you went to the West for the first time?A slave girl can be used as an attraction.

People who are willing to go to Luzon for development will directly send a Nanyang female slave to attract those poor people who cannot afford a wife to go to Luzon to open up wasteland.

In the future, the slaves traded with Southeast Asian countries will no longer need to be transported to the mainland, but can be sent directly to Luzon as labor.

In addition, the natives of Luzon can also be captured and used as labor at one time. "

In just a few words, Ying Hao has provided five strategies for Luzon's population problem, namely: land attraction, distribution of prisoners, attraction of female slaves, slave trading, and conquest of natives.

The combination of these five strategies can completely solve the problem of labor shortage in Luzon in one fell swoop.

Prime Minister Wang Meng has the most right to speak on the issue of immigration and land reclamation. He originally wanted to speak out, but Ying Hao said everything he wanted to say, and it was even more perfect than he imagined, so he didn't speak out again. .

After thinking for a while, Wang Meng felt that as the prime minister, it would be bad if he didn't say anything, so he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there are many things to do to immigrate and open up wasteland, and Lu Song is isolated overseas and it is not easy to rule. Only a loyal and capable official can take on this important task."

"What the prime minister said is reasonable. I plan to set up Luzon County first, and use the eunuch to manage Luzon's affairs. I wonder if the prime minister can recommend anyone?" Ying Hao asked.

Wang Meng fell silent immediately when he heard the words, he almost wanted to slap himself in the face.

Tell you to talk too much!

He would naturally be happy to recommend other prefects, but in the eyes of most people, Lu Song was relegated to being the prefect of such a barren area.

Recommending this prefect is an offending job, and the other party may not only not appreciate it, but even regard Wang Meng as an enemy who will cut off his official career.

Naturally, Wang Meng didn't want to do such offending things, but the emperor asked him to recommend talents, and he couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, "My uncle, Wang Jian, may be able to take on this important task."

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials looked at Wang Meng's eyes changed, and recommended his brother to serve as the prefect on an overseas desert island?Wouldn't there be some enmity between their brothers?

Ying Hao was taken aback, then smiled and said: "Prime Minister Gao Yi, but I have other important uses for Prefect Wang Jian, so I should choose someone else."

Let Wang Jian, a famous general, go to the island to open up wasteland?How could Ying Hao make such a stupid decision.

Wang Meng also secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words. He naturally did not want his brother to go to Luzon. Now that His Majesty has voluntarily refused, it can be regarded as giving him a step down.

Just when Ying Hao was at a loss as to how to choose the candidate, Sima Lang walked out from the crowd and asked for his life, "Your Majesty, I am willing to take care of all the ministers."

All the ministers were stunned when they heard the words. After all, going to Luzon was obviously hard work. They didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to ask for orders, but they were not surprised when they saw Sima Lang.

Speaking of Sima's family, it was miserable. They should have had a brilliant future, but they were ruined by their own disciples.

Sima Fang, the patriarch of the Sima family, was the minister of the Supreme Emperor and one of the elders of the Jin family. However, his son Sima Yi betrayed Daqin, which also made the Sima family's position in Daqin awkward. He committed suicide and apologized, but he still couldn't change it.

Without exception, the Sima family's children, Sima Lang, Sima Cuo, Sima Fu, etc., who served in the Great Qin Dynasty, all received a great impact on their official careers.

Sima Lang had originally received an order to be promoted to prefect, but after his younger brother Sima Yi's rebellion, not only did his post as prefect fly away, but he was even left idle afterwards.

Some of Sima Lang's colleagues who served at the same time have already been promoted to state officials, but he has been sitting on the bench until now.

In the eyes of outsiders, going to Luzon to open up wasteland is a hard job, but in the eyes of Sima Lang, it is an opportunity.

Everyone else regards it as an errand, but he, Sima Lang, took the initiative to stand up, show his loyalty, share his worries, and if he develops Luzon well, it may be able to change the emperor's bad impression of the Sima family.

As the new head of the Sima family, Sima Lang must find a way to change the plight of the Sima family and let Daqin accept the Sima family again.

Ying Hao didn't expect that Sima Lang would take the initiative to stand up, so while looking at Sima Lang, he ordered the system in his heart: check Sima Lang's attributes.

[Sima Lang: Commander 78, Force 65, Intelligence 83, Politics 94, Charm 86;]

enough.Ying Hao thought to himself.

For the Sima family, except for Sima Yi's lineage, the rest of them didn't feel much disgust towards Ying Hao.

Now Sima Yi's lineage has been stripped from the Sima family, and the punishment the Sima family has suffered has been severe enough, so other members of the Sima family can also be used.

Ying Hao was planning to use Sima Lang again, but now that he offered to take up a post in Luzon, Ying Hao naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Okay, since Sima Aiqing has this awareness, I am very relieved to take the initiative to share your worries. In this case, I will make Aiqing the prefect of Lu Song." Ying Hao laughed.

Hearing Ying Hao's words, Sima Lang almost burst into tears.

Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king, so he naturally did not dare to resent Ying Haodi's suppression of Sima's family, so he could only transfer this resentment to Sima Yi.

Now after several years, he should have become the prefect a long time ago, and now he has finally taken the position of prefect, but it is a pity that he is an overseas prefect.

"Sima Lang will surely live up to His Majesty's trust."

Sima Lang kowtowed and said, that's called humbleness, and all the officials who saw it felt a little inexplicably sad.

After Sima Lang withdrew, Han Fei stood up again and said, "Your Majesty, my Great Qin will soon go to war against the Japanese, and the navy is the main force for the war against the Japanese. This battle has been prepared for a year. , but at this critical juncture, it is necessary to draw out [-] elite sailors for the second voyage to the Western Seas and emigrate to Luzon, isn’t this a bit too underestimating the enemy?”

"That's right, the lion fights the rabbit with all its strength. I believe that the voyage to the West can be postponed, and it will not be too late to proceed after defeating the Japanese navy." Liu Ye echoed.

"Reasonable, justified..."

Some ministers also followed suit.

Ying Hao laughed when he heard the words: "Haha, dear friends, do you think I underestimate the enemy? In fact, it's quite the opposite. I have never paid more attention to the battle of conquering the Japanese."

"Then why..."

Before Han Fei finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ying Hao: "I don't know about Aiqing, the second voyage to the West and immigration to Luzon, these two matters, just the preparation work, it will take at least two months.

And this time to conquer Wa Island, the navy of Qin, Wu, Song and Song Dynasties sent troops together, and two months was enough to defeat the navy of Wa. "

Han Fei looked stunned. He was not good at military affairs, so he thought His Majesty had underestimated the enemy.

Before Ye Qingmei came back, Daqin was already preparing for the conquest of the Wa Kingdom.

At present, the food and grass are in place, and the [-] infantry and cavalry troops for landing are also being mobilized to Beihai, including Zhao Yun's dragon cavalry, Gao Shun's trapped camp, Zhang Yun's euphorbia soldiers, and Ju Yi's first dead soldiers .

In order to deal with the Wo Kingdom, Ying Hao mobilized four elite elite battalions, which shows that he attaches great importance to conquering the Wo this time.

As for the main general who will conquer the Japanese this time, Ying Hao already has a candidate in mind.

"The decree is to order Zhou Yu, the governor of the naval army, to serve as the chief general of the Japanese conquest army. He is responsible for commanding [-] naval troops, [-] infantry, and [-] cavalry to attack the Japanese kingdom of Japan."

Wa Island is indeed a good place to gain experience for Bai Qi, but Bai Qi is now the general of Daqin, responsible for leading the country's soldiers and horses.

To deal with the mere Japanese country, but to dispatch Bai Qi, it would be like cannonballing mosquitoes.

It is more than enough for a disciple like Zhou Yu to go out, supplemented by a few famous generals.

As for Bai Qi, it should be used to deal with grasslands, and gain experience with Yuan Qing.

In addition to Qin, the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu are also ready for war.

The Qin State only gave the Three Kingdoms [-] landing places, but the Three Kingdoms have been fighting for a year, but they still can't find a reason, and no one is willing to give up their share.

Seeing this, Ying Hao increased the total number of troops dispatched by the three countries to [-], Song and Wei [-] each, and Wu [-].

Although this proposal still does not satisfy the three countries, but in the absence of other options, it can only reluctantly accept it.

The four countries met in the second year of Shenwu, March [-], and jointly sent troops to Wajima.

The generals of the Liaison Army of the Four Kingdoms were divided into two groups to conquer the Japanese. The Qin and Wei countries were the first army, and Song and Wu were the first army.
