The Liangshan rebels completely occupied Jingdong Road and Jingdong East Road, which caused an uproar throughout the Great Song Dynasty and even the entire Eastern World.

You know, Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road, among the 24 roads of the Northern Song Dynasty, are also relatively rich roads, and the population is also large.

In 1110, the imperial court counted more than 20 million households and more than 46.7 million people. However, considering that the household registration of the Song Dynasty only counted adult male servants who undertook the conscription. Therefore, in 1110 AD, the total population of the Northern Song Dynasty definitely exceeded 110 million.

The total population of Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road combined is more than 10 million.

With such a population, the Liangshan rebels recruited hundreds of thousands of troops, and there was no problem at all.

The advent of winter brought the war between the Liangshan rebels and the Song army to an end temporarily.

The Liangshan rebels began to concentrate on training the army so that these newly formed armies could become combat-ready.

The Great Song Dynasty was also actively deploying troops, preparing to completely suppress the Liangshan rebels in the coming year and re-establish the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, absolutely not allowing the Liangshan Rebels to threaten the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty.

It can be said that both sides are secretly accumulating strength to prepare for a large-scale decisive battle in the coming year.

On this day, Li Jun, commander of the Liangshan Water Army, Ruan Xiaoer, deputy commander, and several regiment commanders jointly asked to see Wu Song.

“Meet the Grand Commander!” Several water army generals respectfully saluted Wu Song.

As the Liangshan rebels grew stronger and stronger. Especially in the war, he easily defeated the Song army, and it made everyone admire Wu Song’s five bodies.

Many people are already rumoring that when the Liangshan rebels defeat the Great Song Dynasty and pull the Zhao family off the throne, the great commander will take his place and ascend the throne as emperor.

This made many good men who were originally informal, and when facing Wu Song, they more or less began to converge.

“What’s wrong? Why are you all here today? Wu Song was a little puzzled.

“Grand Commander, we are here to ask for battle. Cavalry and infantry, they all fought so lively. We can’t just watch from the back, can we? Li Jun said.

“Yes, Grand Commander. We have 15,000 people in the water army, so we can’t do nothing, right? Otherwise, others really think that our water army eats dry food! Ruan Xiaoer echoed on the side.

“Grand Commander, let our water army also go to the battlefield! Not only can we fight water battles, we can also fight land battles! The brethren of the water army are definitely not a bitch! ”

“Grand Commander, if we go ashore, we will definitely not be worse than the infantry.”

Several other regiment commanders also asked for battle.

Watching the cavalry and infantry continue to win victories on the battlefield, it can make the eyes of the water army generals hot.

Coupled with some rumors, it suddenly made the soldiers of the water army unable to sit still.

Wu Song smiled: “Although the water army did not directly participate in the war. But I am very clear about your contribution in the war. Without your transfer of various materials, I am afraid that the consumption of the front-line army will be difficult to maintain. Not to mention, you are also responsible for guarding Liangshan, this is our lair, and the responsibility is heavy! ”

“Grand Commander, that’s what I said. However, the brethren all want to have the opportunity to go into battle! Li Jun said.

“Grand Commander, just give us this opportunity! We promise that we will behave well on the battlefield. Ruan Xiaoer also pleaded.

Wu Song thought about it, these water army generals are all elites who are good at water warfare.

If they were allowed to go ashore to fight a land war, it would be a pity if there was a breakdown.

After all, infantry is the best addition. Other cavalry and water corps, it is not so easy to replenish.

“Brothers, in fact, I have high hopes for you. Or rather, you will be of great use in the future. Wusong said.

Several generals of the water army looked at Wu Song, waiting for his next words.

“I had planned to implement this plan later. But, since you are all here today. Then I will simply inform you of this plan.

The water army is nothing more than a transition. In the future, you will be the Navy. The vast ocean is the stage for your future! ”

“Navy? Grand Commander, are you letting us go to the sea? But our enemy is the Great Song Imperial Court! went to the sea, who are we fighting? Li Jun asked.

“Yes, Grand Commander! We hope to be able to fight the Song army. Ruan Xiaoer also said.

“Who said that the navy can’t fight the Great Song court? The navy could launch an attack on the coastal areas of the Great Song court directly from the sea. Besides, the overseas trade of the Great Song Dynasty is now very prosperous. The entire country’s taxes, commercial taxes, have accounted for six or seven percent. In the future, once we defeat the Great Song court, we must also maintain overseas trade. Even try to make overseas trade more prosperous. At that time, the Navy will launch an attack on the number of pirates at sea to protect our overseas interests! Wusong said.

Several water army generals frowned, a little not quite understanding this.

Therefore, Wu Song had to change to a more simple way.

“Brothers, there are many countries overseas, you all know it, right?” Wu Song asked.

Several water army generals nodded one after another.

“Those countries overseas are very rich. Goryeo to the north is rich in ginseng. There is also the northeastern kingdom of the Wa, rich in gold and silver. To our southwest, there is another place called Mayi. This is a large archipelago, there are no countries on the island, some are just barbarian tribes. However, this place is rich in copper, iron ore and gold. If we can take this place and capture the indigenous tribes to mine for us, then we will be able to get a steady stream of copper, iron and gold from these places. Our Great Song Dynasty is seriously short of copper, and even the copper needed to make money is not enough. Not to mention, we need a lot of copper to make cannons. If we can get a lot of copper from overseas, everyone knows very well what this means to us! Wu Song directly drew a large cake.

Mayi is the later Luzon, but now there are still some wild tribes on the island, and there is not even a country.

How can these wild men deserve to occupy such a rich and resource-rich territory?

The eyes of several water army generals couldn’t help but shine. Even his breathing became rapid.
