"These two bastards!"

Waves of roars came from the signing room. Accompanied by the roars, there were occasional sounds of books and account books hitting the wall, and the sound of teacups and other porcelain being thrown to the ground and smashed made the guards on duty outside the door All the maids and maids knew that this lily porcelain was really as thin as paper and as loud as a chime.

The sound made them all stare at their noses, noses, mouths, and hold their breath, lest they accidentally offend the master inside and cause trouble for themselves. Although this possibility is unlikely, but be careful Wannian ship.

The witty servant girl quietly ran to deliver a letter to the housekeeper's wife, "I don't know why my lord is furious in the study, I don't know who provoked him! You'd better go and have a look, don't make your lord angry."

Soon, Yan Meier, whose belly was already a little swollen, and Li Xiuxiu, who was talking in her room, came down to the signing room or outside the courtyard of the guard's study, surrounded by a group of maids.

Hearing the news, Fu Bo and Chief Historian Li Peilin also rushed over.

The four of them had a little discussion outside the door, Fu Bo was the head, Yan Mei'er was next, and Li's brothers and sisters came in one file after another.

The entire signing room seemed to have just been ransacked by a hurricane. Various blueprints, account books, and books were thrown everywhere. Looking around, there was no place to stay.

"Shou Han, why is this?"

"My lord, why is this so?"

"Sir, who made you angry?"

"Big brother, what's wrong with you?"

Li Peilin guessed some clues. He bent down and picked up an account book that fell on the threshold. On the cover made of blue cloth, there was a red label on it, which read the detailed words of the expenditures of various prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River in the fifth year of the apocalypse. .Such account books are everywhere in Shouhan's study, it seems that there is no bookish atmosphere in the room, but it is full of money and food.

Stepping on the broken porcelain pieces all over the floor, Li Peilin put the account book where it should have been - in a large cabinet against the wall, and closed the glass cabinet door smoothly. "My lord, the envoy for peace of King Ayutthaya of Siam, I have already settled in the post. This is his letter of credence."

After venting the anger in his heart, Shou Han also calmed down a lot. Seeing the concerned and nervous eyes of the pregnant Yan Meier, everything in his heart was thrown to Java!Oh, no, the country of Java is not too far from here, so it should be thrown into Frangji.

Seeing this, Mrs. Cai quickly nodded to a few illiterate women to come in and tidy up the house, cleaning up the broken porcelain pieces all over the floor. "All paper with writing on it must be put away." <The sun shines on the mother.

Under the sun, Yanmei'er's face was filled with the radiance of motherhood and abundant happiness.May I ask how many husbands in this world can be so guarding?

The five people sat together under Shou Han's gesture, Xiu Xiu supported Yan Meier and sat together, blinking her beautiful big eyes at her future husband-in-law, elder brother, and nominal father.

"Sir, what happened? It made you lose your temper. It's not good to lose your temper. It hurts your health. But which general on the front line lost the battle?"

Shouhan smiled wryly, "If I lost the battle, I wouldn't be so angry. Brother Peilin is also here. Ask him, is there any defeat in the front line now?"

"A front-line military report received a few days ago said that our army's land and water divisions were advancing side by side. The Phoenix Battalion Wang Bao's Division on the land route used the surrendered troops as the forerunner, and the attached tribal soldiers were escorted back. Under the supervision of the Phoenix Battalion, they defeated Siam on the [-]th day of the first month Since the army, seven cities have been broken in one month. Now Wu Lat, Chatthani, Sise Jufu, Roi Et and other places bordering Chenla are all owned by the general. At present, the army has arrived at the city of Nakhon Ratchasima. You can capture this city and open the gateway to the great city."

"Wang Bao won the battle again?!"

"Zhang Xiaohu of the navy commanded seven gunboats and smashed the Siamese navy in the Gulf of Siam, sank 31 enemy ships and captured 57 enemy ships. There were more than [-] officers, sailors and gunners at all levels. , Right now, conquer Ratchaburi, Pattaya and other places adjacent to the Gulf of Siam, and send gunboats to cruise at the mouth of the Chao Phraya River to block the passage for sneaky people to sneak in."

Yan Meier couldn't figure out the many place names mentioned in the military newspaper, but it must be because the territory is very large or the location is extremely important.Otherwise, these two Fatian guys would not have specifically noted it in the battle report.But why Zhang Xiaohu sent gunboats to cruise at the mouth of the Chao Phraya River is a bit puzzling.

"Brother, why did that fellow Zhang Xiaohu occupy these two places?" <The onion-like finger pointed at these two places.

The two places, one east and the other west, face each other across the Gulf of Siam. Not far to the north is the estuary of the Chao Phraya River. Yan Meier has been somewhat affected by Shou Han's side these years, "Master, this little tiger Occupying these two places, isn’t this just entering the palace, and you can fight along the Chao Phraya River to Ayutthaya to join forces with Wang Bao at any time?”

"Yes, that's what worries me."

"In the military newspapers sent by the two generals, Wang and Zhang, they all asked for instructions on when to launch an attack on Dacheng? 'Add another king's seal for the lord!'"

When several people heard what Pei Lin said, they couldn't help laughing. However, Uncle Fu twirled his beard and smiled slightly, Yan Meier was a little complacent, and only Xiuxiu sprinkled silver bells in all directions.Only Shou Han himself smiled wryly.

Ye Qi conquered Hue, and seized and submitted dozens of seals of the Ruan family. Among them was the royal seal of the county king granted by the Ruan family. .This made all the generals feel eager to win.

Soon, during the battle to attack Zhancheng, Zhang Xiaohu's troops, who were the first to break into the city wall, went straight to the palace. Facing the flesh-tank king of Zhancheng, the first sentence was, "Hand over your king's seal!"

Probably Wang Bao's record compared with these two, seems to lack such a seal.Therefore, Wang Bao bluntly proposed in the military newspaper to add another king seal for the Lord, so that the young master can play around in the future!

Li Peilin quickly created a topic for Shou Han to divert him from this somewhat embarrassing situation.

"My lord, the envoy Basong Chalunpon sent by the King of Siam to beg for peace has been placed in the post house by An Tianhong, Bao Zhongchen's Law Enforcement Office, and Niu Qiandao's Statistics Office. People are at their side. The subordinates and others ask for a lord's instructions. For Siam, is it war or peace?"

"Hey! Come to ask for peace? What gift did you bring?" Seeing that Yanmei'er got up and left her seat, and Xiuxiu and a group of maids and women were also accompanying her, she looked like a thief. Xi expression. (Did you send beautiful women over? Did you send ladyboys over to perform?

"Oh! The envoy brought some gold and silver, and a white elephant. It is said that it can dance to the music. It is an auspicious thing."

"Except for this?" Shou Han was a little discouraged.

"It seems that there are some special products such as ivory, rhinoceros horn, and leopard skin. The messenger said that as long as the lord grants them, they are willing to pay tribute every year and come to court every year."

"That's all?" Shou Han was completely disappointed, "Damn it, if it wasn't for the lack of preparation and worrying that the steps would be too far-fetched, I would have turned your Dacheng royal family into a demon performance troupe!"

"Is there a white elephant? Can you dance?" The bouncing Xiuxiu became even more excited when she heard this. "Big brother, can you take me to see the white elephant?"

"Xiuxiu!" Seeing the young girl acting coquettishly and coquettishly in front of Shou Han, Pei Lin, as an older brother, naturally wanted to scold her a few words.

"Sister, why did you get so angry just now?" After sitting down, Yan Mei'er took a sip of tea and took the time to ask her husband why he lost his temper.

"Wang Bao's regular army is about 1 people, and there are 5 or 10 soldiers from various tribes in the border areas of Chenla and Siam. In the battle of Surin Prefecture, about [-] troops were surrendered, and the total is [-]. People, with so many soldiers and horses, it is not difficult to take down a mere big city, not to mention Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaoliuzi's navy are supporting them at sea."

"However, it is easy to capture a city, but it is even more difficult to defend it." After all, Uncle Fu not only understands Shou Han, but also his qualifications allow him to speak more casually in front of Shou Han.

That's it!

A word to wake up the dreamer!This way, even Yan Meier understands, as long as Xiuxiu is still blinking Gu's big eyes, looking at these people in front of her, she doesn't know what charades they are playing.

Li Peilin is clear in his heart that his lord is determined to build a regime similar to Qin, from the central government to the state capital, to all towns and villages, he must be able to use his arms and fingers with ease.The world governed by the gentry and the gentry is not what he wants.

In order to achieve this goal, the Zhengshitang has been in operation for several years and has trained thousands of people. It carried out various laws and orders promulgated by Shou Han, promoted various technologies, organized personnel to reclaim wasteland, plant various crops, dig ditches, and lay roads.

"My lord, is it because the Zhengshitang can't produce so many low-level officials?" Pei Lin's words further clarified the problem.

"Brother Zong, that's right. You have read a lot of poems and books, and you are familiar with the stories of previous dynasties. Back then, Temujin and his descendants raised troops to conquer the Quartet. In just a few decades, they destroyed Jin, Khwarazmo, Xixia, and Dashi. Destroy the Great Qin, destroy the Song Dynasty. The vast area and the prosperity of the army are unprecedented. But, look, where is the Meng Yuan world today?"

"It goes without saying that my great ancestor, Emperor Gao, launched an army to attack the Hulu. However, the many khanates of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties do not exist in the world. What is the reason?"

"When Emperor Taizong was alive, there was Timur, the son-in-law of the Yuan Dynasty. Where is the empire?"

The Mongol Empire and the Timurid Empire all began to disintegrate shortly after the death of the founder, and even attacked each other to compete for the throne of the Great Khan. Home is naturally very clear.

"After Timur, the son-in-law of the Yuan Dynasty, died of illness, the youngest son and the eldest grandson competed for the throne, leading troops to attack each other, and the country changed from strong to weak until it finally perished."

"Brother Zong, you are really knowledgeable, but you don't know that the descendants of Timur are the founders of the Mughal Empire in Tianzhu, across the sea from us. The descendants are endless, and they are indeed centipede insects that are dead but not stiff." !"

"Big brother, tell me, why did they end up like that?"

Xiuxiu felt a little unimpressed, took a bite of snacks, and began to urge Shouhan to tell the answer to the mystery, but Li Peilin who was on the side seemed to have some experience.

"My lord, it's because the Mongol Temujin and Timur generations all won with soldiers and horses. After occupying a place, they are still handed over to the local noble chiefs to govern, just like my chieftain in Ming Dynasty. Once the soldiers and horses are no longer strong , these worlds that are available immediately, will disappear in an instant?"

"Yes, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, once said that the world can be won immediately, but it is absolutely impossible to rule the world immediately. This sentence, replaced by a sentence I often say, is to establish a stable grassroots political power, and this land will eventually belongs to you!"

"Well, it's like reclaiming wasteland. It is true that thorns can be razed to the ground with a big knife and ax or even a big fire, but if you want to turn it into a fertile field, you have to bend down and work diligently." Uncle Fu also understood up.

Therefore, the achievements of Wang Bao and Zhang Xiaohu completely disrupted Shouhan's strategic plan. He originally planned to go north and then go south. Go south again.But now, these two people have already reached the capital of others.

See how this ends for you!

Yan Meier got up and left very tactfully, but Xiuxiu was still very interested and wanted to continue listening, to see how these men in front of her deal with this thorny issue.

"Xiuxiu, you go with your sister Mei'er, she is inconvenient." Li Peilin said to send her away.Just kidding, he must not leave Shou Han and Uncle Fu with the impression that a foreign relative and the inner palace are united.

"Wang Bao captured an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles, most of which were mountainous areas, not to mention high mountains and dense forests, and there were many native people. If he insisted on eating it, he would have to prepare no less than ten thousand students from the Political Affairs Hall. "

After measuring the area on the map, Shou Han frowned.This area is the Nakhon Ratchasima plateau area, which is a semi-arid farmland area. It is extremely dry in summer and very muddy in the rainy season, so it is not suitable for farming. "Even if it is reclamation, the effect will not be seen for a while!"

The southern region occupied by Zhang Xiaohu has another characteristic.

The Chao Pina River in the Siamese population is the Chao Phraya River, which just flows through here and enters the Gulf of Siam in the south.Not far away is the Malay Peninsula. Shou Han has long admired the famous Manga. "There is food, there is wood for shipbuilding, and there is a channel with an innate geographical location like Manlajia, which is much better than the virgin forest in the northern mountainous area." Shou Han swallowed secretly.

"My lord, do you mean to abandon the north and take the south?" Li Peilin began to speculate on the young lord's mind as he watched Shou Han's eyes fixed on the area south of the big city.

"But in this area, although the terrain is flat and the land is fertile, the rivers, lakes and harbors are criss-crossed, and the annual rainfall is heavy, which may easily cause the river to flood. I'm afraid it will not be so easy to cultivate!"

"Fu Bo, this area is about [-] miles away. If you had to choose, would you like the mountains in the north or the paddy fields in the south?"

The north is connected to Chenla, which is connected geographically, but the geography, transportation and natural environment are relatively bad. What is terrible is that if such an area is to be completely occupied, as Shou Han calculated, tens of thousands of troops will have to be prepared. There may be thousands of casualties among the village chiefs, because of contact and friction with the native tribes in the mountains and forests, wars broke out.

In comparison, the environment in the south is much better.Not only is the terrain flat, it is suitable for reclamation and farming, there is a land connection with Chenla, and there is a waterway to transport various supplies and personnel by boat.

"If I were to choose, I would naturally choose the southern part. However, how do you appease Wang Bao on the front line?"
