Chapter 1009

"Jiaozhou?" Listening to Yiji's detailed explanation, Mu Jing's eyes were dim and bright, and he was thinking about Jiaozhou in his mind.

For Jiaozhou, the key one is attitude.

Attitude towards Shi Xie.

Attitude towards Zhang Jin.

This attitude determines the action.

"Uncle Ji, I'll give you a choice. Do you think we in Yizhou support Shi Xie or Zhang Jin?" Mu Jing looked at Yi Ji and asked in a low voice.

"The subordinates think that Shi Xie is better to control him!"

"Why do you say that?"

"Zhang Jin is too selfish, and Shi Xie is more concerned about the people of Jiaozhou. If it is for the good of Jiaozhou, Shi Xie will be willing to compromise. For example, this time, he is willing to give in and allow our army to take over. What's more, he doesn't want to fight. Explode in Cochin!"

Yi Ji had a good impression of Shi Xie: "This is a prince who loves the people. The people are more important to him than his ambitions and hegemony. As long as we in Yizhou can do a good job with the people, we may not be able to fight back in the future." Eat him with blood!"

"Shi Weiyan was a student of Liu Tao, a great Confucian in Yingchuan. If you say he has a heart of benevolence, I believe it, but if you say he has no ambitions, that's not necessarily the case. This person is in Jiaozhou. Zhang Jin is even harder to deal with!"

Mu Jing said softly: "If it's Zhang Jin, you can just defeat him, but if it's Shi Xie, you have to really defeat him, maybe you can hold him down, otherwise even if he makes a small move, we can't control him in Jiaozhou! "

"It's the subordinates who are ignorant!"

Yiji thought for a while, then clasped his hands and said.

"It doesn't count either!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "Your opinion is still very objective. Shi Xie, to a certain extent, naturally requires Zhang Jin to pay more attention to the life and death of Jiaozhou people. If it comes to a critical moment, he will back down, which is not enough. strange!"

"Of course, we can't pin this hope on his automatic surrender!"

"Jiaozhou still needs some strategic deployment!"

Mujing stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, and finally said to Yiji, "You Honglu Division, did you leave any person in charge in Jiaozhou?"

"We established the Minghou Mansion in Jiaozhou. One of my subordinates has been in Jiaozhou for many years and is responsible for making good friends with the wealthy families in various places!"

Yiji said.

"Can you believe it?"

"This person has been with me since he entered the Honglu Division. When he was an envoy to various princes, he followed him. He is also from Yizhou, and his family is in Yizhou. In terms of ability, he is not bad. I think he can still be trusted. !"

"That's good!" Mu Jing said: "Promote him to be the head of the Honglu Division, make him the head of Jiaozhou, give him enough financial resources and information, and order him to win over enough Jiaozhou forces in the next few years to serve us. Attack Jiaozhou, get ready!"

"promise!"

Yiji nodded.

"As for you!" Mu Jing looked at Yi Ji and said softly, "I have an important task for you!"

"Please tell me, my lord!"

"I wanted to let you take a break. I have suffered a lot in Jiaozhou this year, but now I really can't find a few talents who can have your ability!" Mu Jing smiled wryly.

He wouldn't be so black-hearted and use people to death.

But now Honglu Division has too few talents.

At present, the princes from all walks of life are full of ghosts and cannot distinguish between friends and foes. They really need to send envoys to find out the details before they can make a better judgment.

"The subordinates are willing to share the worries for Marquis Ming!" Yi Ji said tenaciously.

"very good!"

Mu Jing smiled, and he handed a file to Yi Ji, saying: "This is all the news of the tribes of the Western Qiang, and what Jing Wusi can find out is all on it!"

"Then what is my mission?"

"Our army is about to attack Liangzhou!" Mu Jing said: "After the battle of Jishi Mountain and the capture of Liangzhou, before that, I don't want the Qiang people to send troops, so I need someone to lobby these tribal leaders for me! "

"The Qiang tribe used to be friendly with Dong Zhuo, and the current Qiang king, Yuehu, is Dong Zhuo's ironclad. It is very difficult for the Qiang army to stand still, but we are not unprepared. Over the years, we have also done A little effort!"

"Now, we need someone who can express the sincerity of our Minghou Mansion to the Xiqiang tribe, and let them feel the strength and goodwill of the Minghou Mansion!"

"Thinking about it, this person, apart from you, very few people can walk away!"

Mu Jing patted him on the shoulder.

"But my lord, I don't understand Qiang language at all!"

Yiji said: "If you want to speak and listen, you can understand a little bit, but if you speak, you really can't say a few words. It's hard to convince them!"

Without a language barrier, communication is difficult.

It is even more difficult to convince these leaders.

"I've already considered this aspect. I have asked people to gather a few Han people who grew up in the Qiang tribe in Qiang Dao City. They are familiar with the languages ​​of the tribes and can help you!"

"Then what if there are some tricky conditions?" Yiji thought about it and asked: "The Qiang tribes are all poor and can't solve the problem. If we ask others, no matter whether they agree or not, they will definitely be a lion." Open your mouth!"

"This point, you can decide for yourself!"

Mu Jing said: "I need timing, but I don't need to give people the impression of being slaughtered. When the time is right, you can express your toughness. The current General Huang Hansheng has already led the army and entered Liangzhou. Once a fight starts , Shi Potian is shocked, not afraid of them, not afraid of them!"

"My subordinates understand!"

Yi Ji's eyes were sharp and bright: "With General Huang Hansheng as his support, the subordinates are confident that they can complete this mission!"

"Remember, I just need time. If the Qiang people don't send troops within this year, that's enough!"

Mu Jing asked.

"Yes!"

"Also..." Mu Jing thought for a while and said, "If you are sure that you can win over a group of Qiang tribes for our use, that would be the best. After all, sooner or later, we will still attack Jishi Mountain. How can you allow others to snore, his Xiqiang tribe is right next door to our Yizhou, you have to surrender or exterminate the tribe, otherwise I can't tolerate them!"

"Subordinates will do their best!"

Yiji nodded.

"Although this matter is urgent, there is no need to hurry too much. You just came back from Jiaozhou, and you can rest in Jiangzhou for ten days. It's not too late to start again. By the way, let's clean up Honglu Division!" Mu Jing said: "Honglu Division The current influence is very large, and it is a channel to express our Minghou Mansion to the outside world. People are very important. I asked Zhuge Liang to enter the Honglu Division before. In order to do this, I will go to Jiangdong on behalf of a certain person. This person is very talented. If possible, You need to make good use of it, and there are too few people available for the Honglu Division, as the head of the Honglu Division, you must pay attention to recruiting talents, I don't want the Honglu Division to leave you, as if no one can use it!"

"The subordinates have been outside these years, and they have not had the energy to rectify. Let the lord worry about it. Don't worry, the lord. I will rectify the Honglu Division as soon as possible, recruit more talents, and use them for my Minghou Mansion!"

Yi Ji pondered for a while and said, "My lord, actually I have some close friends with good abilities, but most of them are from Jingzhou. I don't know if they can be used?"

"The great unity of the world is all Han people!"

Mu Jing said: "As long as your heart is towards my Minghou Mansion and the people of Yizhou, you don't have to worry about your background, you have to do it without sticking to one pattern!"

"Yes!"

Yiji nodded excitedly.

....................................

Three days later, Gan Ning also hurriedly returned from Jiaozhou to report on his duties.

Shi Xie backed down last year.

However, Gan Ning's task is not to get to Jiaozhou, but to go straight to the sea and find a suitable place to build a port. After all, this will be the most important base of the Jingping Navy in the future.

So he spent more than five months, along the seashore to conduct a field trip in person.

It was not until last month that I set off from Jiaozhi and returned to Jiangzhou City to report on my job.

"You've lost weight, but you've also grown stronger. Judging by your aura, it seems that your martial arts have improved a lot!"

Mu Jing looked at Gan Ning.

The Nanzhong campaign ended the year before last, last year Mujing withdrew his troops from Nanzhong, Gan Ning stayed behind and led the army to attack Jiaozhi. During this year, he was in Jiaozhi and fought many battles.

"I fought against Shi Xie once, and I lost, but it also improved my martial arts a bit. Give me another chance, and I'm sure I can fight him again!"

Gan Ning said proudly.

"How is Shi Xie's martial arts?"

"Strong!"

"What about the ability to march in formation?"

"It's also very strong!" Gan Ning squinted his eyes and said, "I fought against him on the battlefield, and the outcome was only a [-]-[-] split. If the two sides fought hard, I might not be his opponent in Jiaozhi. If it wasn't for him at a critical moment Back off, I still have to fight for a year or two before I can pass through cochin!"

"He is an all-rounder in civil and military affairs!"

The corner of Mujing's mouth raised a slight smile.

This Shi Xie did not leave too many records in history, but it is undeniable that he is also a prince of one side, and any prince who can dominate one side alone cannot be underestimated.

Shi Xie studied in the Central Plains since he was a child. He is an educated man, but he is not known for fighting on the battlefield. He is still an outstanding general.

"Can you win me over?" Mu Jing asked.

"At present, it is difficult, unless..."

Gan Ning said: "There are [-] troops coming to Jiaozhou, maybe he will surrender!"

"Then let him shake it first, I also need a place to buffer the atmosphere with Jiang Dong!"

Mu Jing said: "Tell me, how is the task I entrusted to you?"

"My lord, at present, the border between Jiaozhou and our Yizhou has entered a peaceful morale. Even Shixie doesn't make things difficult for us, but I think we still need to defend them. Now Jianshui Zhai, some difficulties!"

Gan Ning spread out several marching maps, pointed to some terrain on them and said: "And I have already traveled from Jiaozhi to Jiuzhen County. There are many places along the coast that are suitable for building water villages, but they will all be threatened by Jiaozhou. Unless we Take Jiaozhou, otherwise if we build a water village like this, we will be at great risk, and if we fall out, we may not even have a way out!"

"Taking Jiaozhou ahead of schedule is basically impossible!"

Mu Jing shook his head.

He considered it for a while, and said: "Jiaozhou's military strength is not very strong, but we can't separate our troops. Even Jiangdong can only withdraw troops from Jiaozhou. Why, because the situation in the Central Plains is changing, compared with Jiaozhou's interests, The interests of the Central Plains are more important!"

"In addition, it is impossible for me to give you all the strength of the navy. For me, taking Jingzhou is already an imminent matter. The navy needs to exert more power in Jingzhou!"

He looked at Gan Ning and asked, "If you don't want to build water villages in these places, do you have a better choice?"

"Have!"

Gan Ning nodded.

He came back with preparations.

Gan Ning took out several blueprints, which he personally asked the scouts to inquire about, and then drew the blueprints: "I have chosen two places, please have a look at them, my lord!"

He pointed to one of the maps: "This is the southern sea area of ​​Hepu County, this sea area is intricate, and it is a good place to build a water village.

"Leizhou Bay?"

Mu Jing knew the place he was talking about, that is the later Zhanjiang Port, Leizhou Bay.

Entering Hepu from Jiaozhi undoubtedly means entering Leizhou Bay from Beibu Gulf. In Gan Ning's consideration, Leizhou Bay may be more suitable than Beibu Gulf.

"The second place?"

Mu Jing asked.

"here!"

Gan Ning pointed to one of the maps, which was an island.

"Zhu Yazhou!" Looking at the three words marked on the map, Mu Jing's eyes flickered.

This is the Hainan of future generations.

But in this era, this is a barren place. Many of the more important crimes of exile are to exile people here. As long as they are exiled here, they basically fend for themselves, and few people can go back.

"why?"

Mu Jing asked.

"If we don't rely on Jiaozhou, we need a navy base. If we win Zhuyazhou, we will have enough space to farm and build ships. Although the investment is greater, it will also ensure the safety of our water village. As long as we turn against them , we can also guarantee our own safety. With Zhu Yazhou, unless they have a more elite navy than us, they will not be able to threaten us. As long as we stock up enough food and grass on this island, we will not be afraid of anyone! "

Gan Ning replied: "And Zhu Yazhou is not an important place in the eyes of the two princes of Jiaozhou. If we win Zhuyazhou, they will not cause too much hostility, and it will be easier to attract us to develop!"

As he said that, he also let out a long breath: "Master, if you have never seen the sea, you will not be able to appreciate the weakness of the Yangtze River. Your master's idea of ​​using the sea to train troops is correct. Only in this way can we develop a team and be able to compete with the sea." Jiangdong is comparable to, no, it is far beyond Jiangdong's navy power!"

"But we need time!"

"Jiaozhou may not give us time. Even if Shi Xie doesn't want to be our enemy, Zhang Jin will not allow us to be too peaceful!"

Mujing listened very seriously, and after a while, he said: "You have thought carefully and seriously, and I agree with your thoughts!"

Gan Ning was overjoyed and hesitant: "My lord, in this way, we need more investment. First of all, we need troops to take down Zhuyazhou. Although Zhuyazhou has a small population, there are still some people in the local area. The indigenous tribes must be subdued, and secondly, we need people who can manage the local area to build water villages, first of all, we need to build cities on land, and only then can we stabilize the water villages if we can secure Zhuyazhou!"

"I'll give you all of these!"

Mujing patted him on the shoulder: "I will give you enough troops and talents, and I will also prepare to move a group of people from Yizhou to Zhuyazhou. Not only will I build a water village military port, I will also Develop Zhuyazhou!"

He changed his voice and said: "Kan Ning, you are confident that you can train me a navy that can rival Jiangdong and be invincible in the world!"

"I can!"

Gan Ning knelt down, arched his hands, and said reverently: "My lord, I am willing to issue a military order. Within two years, I promise to train a naval army capable of conquering the world. If you can't satisfy my lord, I will come to see you in person." !"
