I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

On this matter, Zhiyao seemed stingy.

For the country, whether it has made a good start is more important than anything else.

Rewarding a title, and then bestowing a city, in exchange for some countries not being able to survive, or encountering other threats, choosing to come to join them is much better than using swords to destroy the country.

The original country was able to treat those attached monarchs kindly, showing generosity can actually make other countries feel at ease, and they are more willing to surrender when things cannot be done.

The truth is that truth, but the complexity of the matter is much more than imagined.

For example, if the original country accepts the king of a country who has no subjects, and rewards him with titles and cities, those who rise from the mountain of corpses and blood will not be satisfied, and it will even make the king of future generations easy to be fooled.

In the history of Zhuxia, there are many examples of countries coming to the DPRK, but the facts prove that many teams who came to pay tribute were not representatives of a certain country at all, but simply some merchants cheated for food, drink, and rewards.

After cheating something, those people will not only laugh at a certain dynasty, but also publicize that this dynasty is stupid, rich and easy to deceive, and call their companions to come again next time.

During the deception process of these people, even if anyone in the dynasty noticed something was wrong, they would generally not point it out.

After all, what a face-saving thing it is for the coming of all nations to court. It would be bad luck for a large group of people to be exposed. Maybe the emperor would become angry and chop off his clever head. It's over.

Now Zhiyao is most concerned about two things, one is the war in Donglai, and the other is when the princess will be pregnant.

On the Donglai side, Sima Rangju has led his army to fight the Vietnamese army at "Muleng".

This journey was not the Vietnamese army led by Gou Jian, they were headed by Wen Zhong to invade Qi.

Wen Zhong didn't know the fact that the Yuan country had dispatched troops until the scouts reported the traces of the Yuan army. On the one hand, he sent people to rush to report to Goujian, the king of Yue, and on the other hand, he didn't care about continuing to invade the Qi country, so he chose to stop at "Muleng" This is the only way for the original army.

Because of Wen Zhong's decisive decision, he arrived at "Muleng" one day ahead of schedule, and the original army led by Sima Rangju arrived the next day.

The battle that broke out in "Muleng" was hasty.

It's just that the Vietnamese army who arrived one day didn't have enough time to understand the local terrain, and there was no way to talk about setting up an ambush. They could only set up a formation to fight the original army.

Sima Rangju had thought that he would be intercepted by the Vietnamese army, but the main goal was to go straight to the east to find the king of Yue, Goujian, and fight a decisive battle. He really didn't expect that not only the Vietnamese army was stationed in the place of "Muleng", but also the language. Chief of the Viet Cong.

Among the Vietnamese troops going north this time, Wen Zhong had the largest number of troops, reaching [-].

Wen Zhong originally led the army to invade the Qi State. Because the Qi State was too weak, the Vietnamese army did not cause much loss in attacking the city, and even because of the successive victories of the Qi Army, their morale became extremely high.

The Vietnamese army with high morale had strong self-confidence. Facing the former army, the most powerful country in the Central Plains, they were not at all timid. On the first day of the battle, there were back and forth.

Because Sima Rangju was worried that King Goujian of Yue learned that the original country sent troops and chose to return to the country. After discussing with the generals, the [-] original army was split into two parts, leaving [-] in "Muleng", and the remaining [-]. Get a mission to directly attack "Langya".

...

Before Sima Rangju led the army to set off, the information he learned was that King Goujian of Yue was coming to the east like a bamboo, and the offensive was extremely smooth, and he had hit the seaside of "Chengshan".

The Yuan State will never forget the fact that the Wu State Navy was able to fight naval battles. The Yue State, which annexed the Wu State, obtained a large number of ships and sailors.

This time, the Yue State sent troops to the east and used the navy. If Yue King Gou Jian chose to retreat from the sea under safety, it would not be so easy for the Yuan State to quickly destroy the Yue State.

The goal of Sima Rangju's division of troops to go to "Langya" is very clear. The Yue Kingdom has a fleet stationed at "Langya". Attacking "Langya" may capture some ships.

Even if the original army can't capture the ships, at least it can save the original country's navy from the sea an attack process. After quickly obtaining supplies, they can try to catch up with the Yue country's navy, or save their strength for the next landing operation.

In fact, no matter whether Wu or Yue ships can only approach the sea route, once Yue King Goujian retreats from the sea, the fleet will definitely pass by the coast of "Langya". .

Therefore, "Langya" is a must-take target for Yuan Country, not to mention the fact that "Langya" has a natural harbor on the surrounding coast.

The original navy?Zhiyao chose "Shuzhou" as the shipbuilding base before reaching the pole. At the beginning, it was just research, and a few ships were produced after finalizing a model, and then continued to improve and replace, not pursuing the scale of the navy.

So many years have passed, and there may not be any major progress, but it is inevitable to create a ship that can sail smoothly in offshore waters.

The state of Wu knew that attacking the state of Qi could advance both by land and water, so how could Zhiyao ignore the role of the navy in attacking the state of Yue?

Nowadays, Yuanguo has a navy with more than [-] large ships and nearly a hundred medium-sized ships. They have no chance to play their role, and have been training for a long time in the coastal frontline called Bohai Sea in later generations.

How big is the so-called big ship?It is 48 meters long, 12 meters wide, and has a draft of eight meters. Above the deck, there is only one floor of the flagship cabin at the stern. The cabin is divided into two floors, and there is only one mast. Generally speaking, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

The reason why it is called a naval force is not that it cannot leave the coastal waters, but it has not been tested in naval battles to put it bluntly.

This time, the original national navy came out in full force, depending on how well it performed. If it is suitable, it will wait to expand its scale before going to the Wa Islands to catch savages and mine. If it is not suitable, it will probably maintain this scale.

What is the current era, and what to do in the Urishima Islands?Didn't they say they were going to catch savages to mine.

If a country wants to be healthy and healthy, not only agricultural production must be paid attention to, but business must also not be ignored.

Zhuxia has always been a place short of copper mines. There are not many copper mines on the Wulian Islands, but there are the largest silver mines and gold mines in Asia.

In the current era, apart from capturing wild people overseas to obtain some precious resources, building a navy really doesn't have much military use.

Another point, to be honest, in the era of feudal dynasties, Zhu Xia could only focus on land power, and overemphasizing sea power was completely self-defeating.

reason?The enemies that can cause the crisis of destroying the country for Zhuxia are all from the north. They are the Huns, Turks, Khitan, Mongolian tribes, wild boar skins, and Luocha. .

If you want land power and sea power to walk on two legs, you think there are no smart people in history, do you?
It depends on the financial revenue of the various dynasties of the Xia Dynasty. Most of the dynasties have difficulty maintaining land power, so they have no spare power to take into account sea power.

Plotting sea power is a thing that burns money extremely. It is useless to invest too little, and there is no gain if you invest too much.

Even in modern times, there is no powerful country that balances land power and sea power, and the difficulty can be imagined.

May?Carrying the burden, right? The air force is the first priority, and the navy is the second. The army can only rank third.

Now, Zhiyao is watching the first-hand battle report sent back.

Regarding the news about Yuan Guo's navy, the intelligence is still on the fact that the fleet has just entered the Donglai coast.

Sima Rangju led his army to fight Wenzhong's troops in "Muleng", which lasted 23 days and ended with the Vietnamese army actively retreating.

The defeated Yue army went to a place called "Yun" to defend the city. Sima Rangju reported that the Yue king Goujian was leading the army to the battlefield, but suddenly turned around and ran to "Langya" on the way.

That is to say, when King Goujian of Yue learned that the original country sent troops to the east, he did not immediately think about withdrawing to the mainland of Yue, let alone take the sea route to flee for his life in a hurry.

"Goujian originally intended to move the capital to 'Langya', and rushed there when he learned that 'Langya' was under attack. What is there that he values?" Zhiyao was very confused.

The Vietnamese army going north, their material stockpiling point is in the place of "Jiegen", most of the military supplies and equipment are here.

The reason why the Vietnamese army chose "Jiegen" as a stronghold for hoarding supplies is related to their invasion of Donglai and Qi, and the fact that Vietnam has a sea transport team that can transport materials to the bay near "Jiegen" ( Jiaozhou Bay).

Speaking of which, the State of Wu pioneered a landing attack from the sea, and the State of Yue used the sea transportation line now, which is indeed better than many subsequent dynasties.

Zhikai, who has been working hard to create a human being recently, sat not far away with dark circles under his eyes. He heard his father's murmur, and guessed: "The more you destroy Ju, the more you capture Miyagi, and the later you invade Qi. I think it's rare and rare. 'Langya', why didn't the King of Yue rush back to rescue him?"

This... seems very likely!
Ju State and Qi State are both countries with a very long history. No matter how weak the two countries are, they will not become weak overnight.They have ruled the country for so long, there must be good things in the palace collections, but now they have all become Gou Jian's spoils of war.

It's just that Gou Jian is a hero after all, as for a group of treasures?

Zhiyao thought: "Maybe 'Langya' is more important to the Yue Kingdom than I imagined?"

After "Langya" that originally belonged to the State of Ju was seized by the State of Yue, the State of Yue has been vigorously building it. Goujian even proposed to move the capital in order to let the officials understand the importance of "Langya".

...

Zhiyao thought of something, and said suddenly: "Maybe there is a hidden treasure, the most important thing is that it is now a sea hub!"

how to say?The people of Wu and Yue are too adventurous. Not to mention the limited conditions to play sailing, they still want to use the sea even though they know the risks are great, and they are really using it.

People who don't know the sea, or even have never seen the sea, will not understand the importance of "Langya" to the Yue Kingdom.

That "Langya" is the bridgehead for the Yue Kingdom to go north, and it is also an important town that guarantees that it can retreat to the sea.This is why King Goujian of Yue moved his capital to "Langya"!

Now, the original army and the Yue army are fighting fiercely, but as long as the Yue country ensures that "Langya" is still in their hands, even if they are trapped in "Langya" in the end, they can still obtain supplies from the sea continuously, and they can use it if they can't do anything. HNA route withdrawal.

"Langya", which was managed with care, was captured by the original army. Even if the Vietnamese army still controlled other places, the investment of the Yue State in the early stage was in vain, and the subsequent situation must be passive and beaten.

Zhiyao now thinks of Sima Rangju's division of troops to attack "Langya", and she can't help but admire Sima Rangju as worthy of being a figure who can squat in a martial arts temple.

"That's right, there is also the navy, as long as Cheng Shuo can hold Goujian back, when the navy arrives, Goujian will become a turtle in the urn!" Zhiyao stood up abruptly and walked towards the place where the map of mountains and rivers was hung.

Zhi Kai followed to the edge of the map of mountains and rivers, and couldn't help frowning when he scanned the country of Ba. Once the princess concubine is pregnant, he will go to the country of Ba!

"This battle may be the swan song of the Yue Kingdom." Zhiyao said in a low voice.

The Yue State mobilized 11 troops, about [-] troops have been put into combat, and [-] troops are going north by land or sea.

Even if the next [-] did not go into battle, and the Yue Kingdom without an army of [-], even if Goujian escaped by chance, how many troops could the Yue Kingdom mobilize to resist?
Zhi Kai didn't want to be discouraged, so he said truthfully: "Father, Chu and Song will not sit back and watch Yue fall."

This is a certain thing. Chu and Song may be willing to see the Yue State suffer, but what they want to see is that the Yuan State and the Yue State will suffer from both sides. It is impossible to sit back and watch the Yuan State annex the Yue State.

When the original army wiped out the Northward Vietnamese Army, or the news of the Northward Vietnamese Army's heavy losses reached Chu or Song, it was time for the two countries to join forces to exert pressure or send troops to help the Yue State.

Zhiyao squinted her eyes, chuckled a few times before saying: "Zheng Di stationed two 'armies', within one month he can recruit another 'army', and in March he can send out three 'armies', making them five." The number of armies. If Chu and Song move lightly, the widows may not be able to destroy Chu, and destroy Song is within their power."

There are five legions, each with 18 soldiers, a total of [-] soldiers. They were prepared by Zhiyao for Chu and Song.This does not count the two legions that are advancing eastward, and the one that will invade the mainland of Yue.

Zhikai opened his mouth, thought for a while and decided not to speak.

It's not like you just married someone else's daughter and you're about to destroy the country.

The main reason is that the monarch and ministers of the Yuan Kingdom have had countless discussions on "One World" long ago. In order to make long-term plans, even if they can sweep the world in one go, they should take it one step at a time.

According to the plan, after the Yue Kingdom is destroyed, it will be delayed for at least three years, and then the battle to destroy the Song Dynasty will be launched, and the remaining Chu Kingdom has other arrangements.

This time, if the State of Yue and the State of Song were to be annihilated, the Yuan State Office would be able to do it. While the national power was greatly consumed, the fear would be that it would be overwhelmed all at once.

However, a plan is just a plan, Chu and Song are not obliged to cooperate, are they?
