Chai Shao was almost dizzy after Li Sheng's knowledge expansion, but now he finally understood what Li Sheng meant and became even more puzzled.
Isn't the key to the matter still that the Tang Dynasty can't handle it? But Li Sheng, he obviously agrees with this judgment, why does he still seem to think that there is no problem for the Tang Dynasty to send troops this time?
This is so contradictory.
Chai Shao felt like he was going crazy, "Young Master, this, we, this, you know that I am old, can you please explain a little more clearly how to operate."
"Holy crap, you still need to understand this!?"
Li Sheng was shocked, "Isn't it terrorism against terrorism, Mr. Chai?"
Li Sheng couldn't help but sigh, this is really true.
After a summer vacation, the top test-taker in the senior year of high school can return all the knowledge to the teacher, but this is still understandable, after all, it is after high pressure.
Uncle Chai?
In any case, the Tang Dynasty’s dignified high-level generals game understands that such a decline is too much.
While Li Sheng was shocked, Chai Shao suddenly came to his senses.
An old face with an extremely wonderful expression, the expression on his face froze instantly.
Chai Shao understood in an instant.
Li Sheng this.
This is actually not about killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.
Mu De, no wonder you are so confused when you hear it!
But now that it’s explained clearly, it’s easier to understand. Using terrorism to “hedge” terrorism,
Although Chai Shao has never heard of "hedging", he can still roughly grasp the meaning.
Obviously, the Tang Dynasty also wanted to do similar things to these pirates!
But if you look at it this way, it's actually very strange inside, and there are some things that are unreasonable.
Chai Shao thought for a while and said, "The Tang Dynasty is going to take action against the pirates. What do you mean, sir, do you want the Tang Dynasty to send the imperial army to come out to clear out the pirates from time to time?"
Although Chai Shao used a questioning tone, his expression was very surprised.
There seems to be nothing wrong with this question, but if you think about it carefully, it is very strange, because from time to time you come out to clear out pirates, which seems to be fine, but the problem is, they are pirates.
Pirates plundered merchant ships from time to time, which indeed deterred merchants from "going eastward to the sea and setting sail to sail." However, the locations of merchant ships and commercial ports along the coast were public and were everywhere.
As long as the pirates are not blind, they can always find opportunities to plunder - before this happened, it was not feasible.
In recent years, the Tang Dynasty not only vigorously suppressed pirates, but also allocated increasingly stronger defense forces to these coastal commercial ports.
Under the double pressure, the problem of pirates was naturally gradually forgotten, and it didn't take a discerning person to see that these unscrupulous people could no longer cause trouble.
But now that the pirates had weapons funded by the Romans, their combat effectiveness was greatly improved.
Now the pressure on merchant ships to go to sea suddenly increased, and even the coastal defense force that Datang spent a lot of money to build began to seem insufficient again.
In turn, Datang wanted to create panic among pirates.
First of all, the Tang Dynasty must be able to grasp the location of these pirates, right?
But now the trade routes in the Southeast Bay are many times more prosperous than they were at the beginning a few years ago, and several large commercial ports in the Southeast Bay have also developed - the commodity economy has been successfully born.
In this case, it would be much more convenient for the pirates to purchase supplies and sell the stolen property.
——It was convenient for pirates, but it was naturally very inconvenient for the Tang Dynasty.
The sale of stolen goods and supplies have become more convenient, which means that Datang cannot locate these guys, so how can it return the terror?
Even the operation organized by the imperial court was like this. Putting aside the question of whether this wave could be successful, how was this military operation organized by the Tang Dynasty?
It is to predict the cities that the pirates will plunder - several cities, and then deploy spy posts and reporting clippers near all these cities, and then wait for the opponent to appear.
In other words, plowing and sweeping holes is definitely impossible!
You can't plow the garden and sweep holes, people are afraid of you.
Besides, even with such a heavy deployment of troops and cooperation, it is obvious that there are big problems. Although the current pirates are not as fierce and capable as the previous pirates, they have become more cunning, and 80% of them have intelligence support from the Romans.
, this kind of waiting for the rabbit,
Although the battle has just begun, Chai Shao can already foresee what will happen after a while.
Who can withstand this? It’s so easy.
That means.
Li Sheng's idea seems to be correct, but it is obviously not feasible.
After thinking about it, Chai Shao still felt extremely confused about this part, "The Tang Dynasty couldn't even capture the whereabouts of pirates. Wouldn't it be even more difficult to find the lair of these guys?"
Thinking about Li Sheng's profound and far-reaching thoughts, Chai Shao couldn't help but feel scared.
This prince is so extraordinary, no wonder His Majesty directly ordered himself, the Duke and General, to be his bodyguard.
But this time Li Sheng showed a strange smile.
Chai Lao didn't understand what he meant for a long time, but this time he asked a key point. For Li Sheng, this was worth drinking. He smiled and said, "Of course not, but it doesn't necessarily have to be found."
The lair of pirates."
"No need to find it?"
Chai Shao couldn't hold back anymore and was stunned again. "If we don't find the pirate's lair, how can we take action? It's pointless. The pirates might even laugh at the Imperial Army. How could they be frightened?"
"That's not necessarily the case, Mr. Chai. Besides, now the pirates' supplies and stolen goods can be traded directly through major southeastern cities like Manila. Maybe, everyone will become a sea-based home, and there will be no such thing as a lair."
We’re planting something—how can the Forbidden Army invade and suppress it? It’s impossible.”
"this."
Chai Shao hesitated for a moment, thinking that what you said, Your Highness, makes so much sense.
I really didn't expect this situation, that is, the pirates had no base at all, but you said so yourself, Your Highness.
How can they threaten pirates? These people are on the ship 360 days a year. The only few days they are away are to trade supplies in the commercial port city in the southeast corner - and this time is undoubtedly completely random.
Yes, there is no way to grasp it at all.
In this situation, there is no talk of frightening Xiaoxiao. I am not afraid at all. This is it.
but.
"And this time the pirates are getting more and more cunning. Maybe others have guessed the imperial court's intention to clear out the holes. Now with the support of the Romans, these pirates must have made their home all over the world and settled on the ship.
, Anyway, the shipping routes on the Southeast Side have already been familiarized by sailors, and there is probably not even much need for ship repairs, but since the pirates are all on board, can Datang use submarines to do it?"
