Chapter 646 Sea Supremacy (Second Change)

You Jing just entered the night.

The stars are low, the streets in Youjing City have long been forbidden streets, and the city patrolling cavalry in black clothes and black armor are patrolling the whole city, and the streets are empty of people.

Only the inside of the square is still lively.In front of the small restaurants in the alley, diners are full.The people who have returned home are eating happily with their families by the fireside.Thousands of houses in the square are brightly lit, and the lanterns are just on.From time to time, laughter spread far away, containing a few words of joy for the harvest in autumn and the growing abundance of life.

At this time, the Fang Ding had just had a full meal, belched full, picked up a bucket, paired with a waist knife, and walked on the street, loudly reminding the residents of fire prevention and theft prevention.

The outer gate of Linshuo Palace was locked, and the maids in the corridor took off the lampshades to light up the palace lanterns.Looking from a distance, the halo of the palace lanterns, from far to near, lit up one by one, dispelling the thick night.The patrolling guards stepped over the stone steps, their armor leaves clanging.

The autumn night was getting cooler, and in the main hall of Linshuo Palace, there was a stack of uncorrected memorials beside the table, but Li Chongjiu, the emperor of the Great Zhao Empire, was not by the table at the moment.Li Chongjiu was wearing a cloak, holding a long sword in his hand, and looked seriously at a huge cowhide map hanging on the wall.

Judging from the map, the territory of the Great Zhao Empire is expanding day by day, and its territory is gradually expanding.

Yesterday Guo Xiaoke sent the battle report, he led the army to live up to expectations and captured Wuhuan Mountain, and pushed the northern territory of Zhao State hundreds of miles deep into the grassland in one fell swoop.Guo Xiaoke has sent a request to Li Chongjiu to increase the Han army garrison for the Songmo Dufu, in order to build a city in Wuhuan Mountain.

Although Li Chongjiu was short of troops at the moment, he agreed to Guo Xiaoke and sent [-] newly recruited [-] elite soldiers from the six counties in the northern border to White Wolf City.

In addition, Guo Xiaoke also recommended Wang Shi as General Yingyanglang in his memorial. He said that in the two battles against Wuhuan Mountain, he first guarded the grain team and repelled the night attack of the Khitan cavalry, and then attacked Wugu Ridge. Three thousand Khitan cavalry.Li Chongjiu was stunned when he saw it at the beginning, but he didn't expect that Wang Shi, the captain of Tuntian, actually supported himself.

Could it be that talents shine wherever they go? I had a biased view of Wang Shi before, maybe the old ministers were right, juniors, always let him go out for a break, don't beat him, how do you know that he will be a dragon in the future? It's Phoenix.However, Li Chongjiu was very happy that Wang Shi could perform so well. He not only approved Guo Xiaoke's request, but also gave Wang Shi real power and awarded him the post of deputy general of White Wolf City.

Wang Shi returned to Wang Shi, but Guo Xiaoke defeated the Khitan people in Wuhuan Mountain, which made Li Chongjiu's situation in northern Saibei very good. The most important thing was to cut off the direct connection between the Turks and Goguryeo.It is also a powerful blow to the Khitan's power attached to the Goguryeo people.

Hundreds of thousands of Khitan tribes left the familiar grasslands of Wuhuan Mountain and moved northward.Li Chongjiu looked along the map, and moved north to the present Daxing'an Mountains. This vast mountain is still a primitive jungle in many places today.If the Khitan people were to be moved to the north for the winter, life would be even more difficult.

If this is the case, the hundreds of thousands of Khitans who lack cattle, sheep and horses will be reduced by at least one-third in the cold Daxing'an Mountains.

However, Li Chongjiu did not intend to drive the Khitan people to extinction. Instead, he decided to take this opportunity to recruit the Khitan people and allow them to move back to the Huoershen Grassland. Of course, the condition is that they must obey the jurisdiction of Da Zhao.Not only the tribesmen have to obey the call of the Great Zhao Songmo Governor's Mansion at any time, but also pay a certain tax every year, and the headman's son is sent to study in Youjing Guozijian as a proton.

As long as 10,000+ Khitans return to Zhao, the remaining Khitans will be very small to the Huoershen Grassland.This can also cut off Goguryeo's arm.At that moment, Li Chongjiu drew a big red circle on Mount Wuhuan on the cowhide map, indicating that this place has been included in Da Zhao's territory.

Then Li Chongjiu looked at Turks on the west side of Huoershen Grassland and Goguryeo on the east side.

The domestic situation in Koguryo has been stable recently, and the Great Wall to the south has been completed.This is a Great Wall connecting more than a dozen important towns. Of course, it is the work of Goguryeo people imitating the Great Wall of Qin and Han Dynasties.It's just that the identity changed, and Goguryeo treated Da Zhao as a nomad.

Zhou Zhou, the new governor of Liaodong County, once submitted a form to Li Chongjiu, saying that to use the army to break through the Great Wall, at least 20 troops must be mobilized.Everyone knows that Goguryeo is good at defending the name. During the second conquest of Liaodong, Emperor Sui Yang's 30 troops attacked a tiny place in Liaodong City for no less than three months.

Instead, Zhou Zhou gave Li Chongjiu a memorial to capture Goguryeo at sea.Zhou Zhou listed in his memorial that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pacified Weman Korea, he ordered Lou Chuan General Yang Pu to lead [-] troops across the Bohai Sea to break the Weiman Dynasty.

Zhou Zhou quoted this incident, saying that Da Zhao must imitate the events of the Han Dynasty in the Pingwei and Manchuria, and should not repeat the mistakes of Sui Yangdi's three expeditions to Liaodong.Zhou Zhou's suggestion is to take a long-term view, marching troops from the sea, bypassing Goguryeo to build a strong defense line of the Great Wall, and vigorously manage the two strongholds of Duli Town and Dengzhou, so as to prepare for crossing the sea to attack Goguryeo in the future.

Zhou Zhou also said that to master the maritime hegemony, attacking Goguryeo is just one step, and more importantly, in the future, he will have to face the provocations of Silla, Baekje, and even the Japanese kingdom in the east, in order to prevent them from happening.Zhou Zhou suggested to expand the town of Duli and the two navy camps in Dengzhou to build sea-going ships and train the navy so that they can compete for supremacy at sea in the future!
Let the Great Zhao Navy not only cross the Jianghuai River, but also dominate the sea.

After reading Zhou Zhou's memorial, Li Chongjiu didn't disagree with a single word, but he didn't agree with a word either. The reason is very simple. Li Chongjiu gave Zhou Zhou's reply simply two words without money.The matter of raising the navy is fine, but let Zhou Zhou figure out a way by himself.This is also helpless, Li Chongjiu has just ended the battle in Wuhuan Mountain, Xu Shiji and Song Jingang's armies in Shandong have also started fighting, and the dredging of the Yongji Canal has not been completed here, how can Li Chongjiu have the money to manage the expansion of the navy.

Of course, Li Chongjiu also delegated power to Zhou Zhou and let him find a way by himself, even with some extraordinary means.Even if he steals and robs.

Li Chongjiu just said this casually, but Zhou Zhou immediately replied to the memorial, saying that he would organize a navy to invade the coast of Goguryeo, plunder the people, and use up the funds he got.Li Chongjiu thought about it, secretly thinking that Zhou Zhou is not a simple person, isn't this what he did when he robbed Goguryeo?

But Li Chongjiu was just a mainland thief at first, and Zhou Zhou's ambition was to become a pirate.
