"Okay! This time the navy did a good job! I sent a command to Li Qingping to start construction on Xishan Island, which will become the main site of our Jieyi Navy. - "How do I go north, west or south to the Navy Navy?
The Qi army is under the jurisdiction of the territory, and the soldiers here are the transit stations for your supplies. In addition, if our navy wants to continue to advance westward, it must be guaranteed that this place is in our hands. All the soldiers participating in the war will be rewarded!”
Gu Shan, the governor of the Jieyi Army in Wu County, learned of the good news from the navy, and laughed in the hall and issued a commendation order.
"Immediately migrate 5,000 refugees from Suzhou Prefecture to Xishan Island. Since we want to operate there, we cannot let the Qi army take it away again. Where can we establish a stable rule, sufficient military replenishment and local area.
The stability of people's livelihood. Let Li Qingping be responsible for the construction of Xishan Island. Where to establish a stable defense system. In addition, to the east of Xishan Island, all water bandits are clear about and trade exchanges are opened. In addition, civil servants are arranged to support the place and be responsible for the people's livelihood.
All things "After that, Gu Shanjie issued several military orders, all of which were related to Xishan Island.
These military orders are mainly focused on the development of Xishan Island. The largest island in Taihu Lake is also here, and it is also located in the central waters. The Jieyi Army won this place not only for the navy, but also for the entire Jieyi Army.
It also has extraordinary significance. The reason why Gushan moved the people was not only to make the population of Xishan Island more convenient for the Jie Yi Army to replenish the soldiers and garrison the place at any time, but also to reduce the influence of those water bandits here.
According to Li Qingping's report, Xishan Island will move many water bandit families to this point, and even some water bandits who are not suitable for the army will settle down in the place. Li Qingping did not want them, and the people here will eventually be all water bandits.
Mainly with family members, moving people from other regions can also facilitate the jurisdiction of the government here.
At this moment, on Xishan Island, Li Qingping also officially moved the center of the Jieyi Army Navy from Leishan Island in the south to this place. Since then, this place was the direct jurisdiction of the Jieyi Army and the navy's garrison in the middle of the Taihu Lake waters.[
After the Jieyi Army entered Xishan Town, it immediately captured all the powerful people in Xishan Town and confiscated all the families and exterminated the clans. If it were in other areas, the Jieyi Army might not have exterminated all the powerful people. However, here, the Jieyi Army would not
Will be kind to them. After all, Xishan Town is lonely outside, and for the Jieyi Army, it needs to be stabilized quickly. Destroying these powerful clans will be very beneficial for the Jieyi Army to stabilize the place, and it will not be allowed to
These news can be easily leaked.
In the established way, the Jieyi Army began to allocate the fields occupied by these powerful people to the people in the city. Of course, there were not many people in the city, and Li Qingping did not have allocated all the fields at Jianmen Pass. He knew that he had obtained them in Songjiang Prefecture.
After the news, some people will definitely be moved here to dilute the proportion of the water bandits' families here.
After the Jieyi Army took over Xishan Island, it began to comfort the people's livelihood, and began to build two dock ports in the south and north, and at the same time built a naval camp so that the Jieyi Army's naval headquarters could settle here. And the private parts of the powerful families
Soldiers, servants, and slaves have become laborers for attacking cities at this moment. Of course, some stubborn water bandits and prisoners have to be added.
Who has the greatest impact on the Jieyi Navy's Navy taking down Xishan Island? Of course, it is the surrounding water bandits. The Jieyi Navy and the surrounding water bandits are originally hostile, and the Jieyi Navy wants to force these water bandits to surrender.
These water bandits can still rely on Xishan Island as the shield against the Jieyi Navy, but now, this shield has been completely shattered by the Jieyi Navy. In other words, these water bandits are only in front of the Jieyi Navy.
This enemy is now a force to interfere with the Qi army.
Therefore, after the Jieyi Navy took over Xishan Island, some medium-sized water bandits had to come to the door and expressed their willingness to surrender to the Jieyi Navy. The Jieyi Navy did not refuse, and of course he accepted it happily. He surrendered before.
Like a small group of water bandits, after they surrender to the Jieyi Army Navy, they will also be selected by the Jieyi Army Navy, dispersed and reorganized, and moved the families of the water bandits to such a series of methods, so that these surrendered water bandits will be completely integrated into the Jieyi Army.
middle.
Of course, not all water bandits are willing to surrender on the condition. Of course, some of the larger water bandit leaders are unwilling to surrender. For them, in the past, they were overlords in the waters of Taihu Lake, commanding the Baili Waters of the Waters of the past.
, own money, and what they do, there are all taboos. But if they surrender to the Jieyi Army, their current status will not only be unsecured, but the money they have accumulated will also be owned by the Jieyi Army. In addition, their future lives will be
Obeying the laws designated by the Qiyi Army. This is naturally very unaccustomed to a person who has become accustomed to being the leader of a water bandit.
Therefore, these larger water bandits secretly contacted each other and sent someone to express their willingness to surrender to the Jieyi Navy, abide by the rules set by the Jieyi Navy, and even assist Jie.
The Rebel Navy fought. However, they had to exist alone and not integrate into the Jie Rebel Navy.
"It seems that some people are still not giving up! Can't our previous battles let these people realize the power of our Jieyi Army?" Li Qingping said with a calm expression when he heard the officials below report.
"Governor, why talk to them more? For these guys, the army will just launch an attack directly!" Qin Shouyi said in a deep voice, "Which of these water bandits has clean hands and feet? I wanted to give them a chance,
But I don’t know how to cherish and choose. Since I can’t bear to leave him at the moment, I have to let them sacrifice their lives.”
Li Qing said calmly: "Talk with them? Let's have to have a good conversation! There are five water bandits in union. It is said that their fleets have already joined forces. Otherwise, what do you think he is old with us?
Negotiation requires us to give them independence? None of the five water bandits can match the defenders of Xishan Island, but they still do so, relying on their alliance. It seems that these five water bandits
The leader also saw the reason for the defeat of the Qi army's navy before and had begun to combine them. Qin Shouyi, when we negotiate with them, you will find their lair and fleet and solve them
.If we don’t move, we will fight and do our best.”
Qin Shouyi suddenly smiled and said, "The General understands, don't worry, the governor, we already know the place where these five water bandits are now converging. The General will definitely catch them all in one place when they negotiate with us.
Nowadays, it takes a lot of manpower to build a city and a water camp, and these water bandits are exactly what we need."
After solving the military affairs, Li Qingping continued to talk to everyone about the political affairs of Xishan Island. The news that he had sent back to Songjiang Prefecture has now received a reply. After learning that Songjiang Prefecture had transported a large amount of supplies and quantities for them.
After thousands of households, Li Qingping discussed with these generals that he would build three more cities on Xishan Island, as an outer defense line to protect Xishan Island, so that Xishan Island land and water camp can cooperate with each other, and on Xishan Island
Establish a complete defense system.
"Governor, I will finally think that in addition to building two large naval camps at the north and south ends, we can also build docks for warships on the east and west sides. I think this place will become a material transfer station for our army and merchant ships.
Supply point. So, for both the east and west sections, we only need to expand the originally designated dock and add a place where the navy warships dock."
"In this way, our navy warships can guard the entire Xishan Island from all directions and support any location in time. After all, in the lake, it is not as easy to receive various factors as they are on land.
"Hu Le put forward his own opinion. Hu Le was born into a water bandit, so he naturally knew about the situation in Taihu Lake. He also knew some of the situations in Xishan Island.
"Governor, although it seems that Xishan Island is relatively deserted now, a large part of this is because we are hostile to the Qi army and are starting a war. The Qi army has blocked the area along the lake and strictly prohibited merchants from entering our army's jurisdiction.
The waters of Taihu Lake, which are the best route for trade, are naturally the first to be affected. But even so, many merchants still regard the ban and trade between our army and Qi army through this water. Now they cannot see too many merchant ships,
It was because of the abnormal war between us and the Qi Navy in the south that made the merchant ship owners and merchants worried about receiving the impact, so they gradually stopped and waited for the war to stop."
"When the water bandits here are pacified, there will be more merchant ships passing by here. Of course, the premise is that we will not attack them. By then, there will be many merchant ships traveling from south to north and east to west.
.When our rebel army had not yet appeared in the past, the southeastern port of Xishan Island, Yanzi Island, Leishan Island and the southern lakeside were places where merchant ships rested, docked and supplemented supplies. Think about it, it could feed so much water.
Bandits, can there be fewer merchant ships here?"
"Now we have eliminated all the water bandits on the surrounding islands and moved all the water bandits' families here. This also shows that we want to operate this place into a stable place under our jurisdiction. And the merchant ships passing by,
This is the source of our money and taxation. If other islands are not replenished and docked, this is the only place where these merchant ships can stay. In addition, when there are more people here, these merchant ships can also sell goods here.
.So, the two ports and docks planned now are still insufficient. If there are any wars or any changes here in the future, then too many merchant ships will block the port and docks, which will prevent our warships from responding in time.
The method.”
After hearing what Hu Le said, Li Qingping nodded secretly. He also learned about the waters from the surrendered bandits and the surrendered soldiers on Xishan Island, which was not much different from what Hu Le said. At that time, it was Meng.
The powerful men and other powerful people occupied this place, and together with several of the most powerful water bandits in the south, they divided the interests of the passing merchant ships. But now, after the Jieyi Navy ruled here, they used Xishan Island as the place where the passing merchant ships were stationed and taxed.
Then, Xishan Island will soon flourish. Even if the original dock and port are expanded to two, it may not be enough. Of course, merchant ships alone may be enough, but once it happens
There may be problems in war.
"Okay, that's it. Just expand it next to the two civil docks in the east and west as originally planned, and let's open the place where the ships used to dock warships and our army transport supplies in the future." Li Qingping nodded in agreement with Hu.
Le’s suggestion. Of course, in this way, the Jieyi Army would need to spend more manpower and effort to build Xishan Island. However, Li Qingping, who has already made the construction of Xishan Island the top priority in the waters of Taihu Lake, naturally would not care about these
.
"By the way, the port needs to be expanded, so naturally this Xishan Island cannot continue as before. It is not possible to have a Xishan Town in the center. If this Xishan Town needs to be expanded, it will become Xishan City, which will be the core of Xishan Island.
In addition, we have to build a city in the north, southeast and southwest respectively to serve as an outer defense line to protect Xishan City and Xishan Island. This time we conquer Xishan Island, we can see that the defense here is too weak. Once we let it go
It would be very dangerous for Xishan Island to wait for the enemy to go to the island."
"However, the number of merchant ships increases, we cannot guarantee whether these merchant ships will have the tricks of the Qi army. If they take the opportunity to land on the island, it will be very unfavorable for Xishan Island. In addition, with the submission of various water bandits,
As their families are moved in, the population here will surge. In addition, the Grand Governor has moved some refugees from Songjiang Prefecture to live here, so the people here will surge a lot. Therefore, we also need to build some cities to
Settling these people.”
After a pause, Li Qingping induced: "Although these are all the upcoming civil servants, we need to choose the location of the city. After all, this place may face the attack of the Qi army for a period of time.
It is also an important place for us to fight against the Qi army. Therefore, the construction of the city should focus on protecting Xishan Island."
"Li Ziran, then you will send someone to explore the north, southwest and southeast, and choose the right place to build the city. It will take too big, but it is better to make these cities protect the island when the situation occurs in Xishan Island, and
Can send troops in time to support any location where problems occur."
Li Ziran nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will understand!"
"Although we have occupied this place now, the Qi army official in Suzhou Prefecture to the north and the Qi army's general Shen Tuxiong must have known the news that we defeated the Qi army here and recruited the navy and conquered Xishan Island.
, We must not be so lost because of this victory. The soldiers still need to be ready to fight."
"In addition, in addition to here, the Qi army still recruited many water bandits in the waters to the west and northwest. In other words, the Qi army still has considerable strength in the west, so we may also face Qi.
The army counterattacked from the west and north. What was the process of defeating the Qi army's naval forces before? All the generals knew very well, and we must not forget that the naval forces recruited by the Qi army in the west could also enter the central waters. Therefore,
We should send out all the sentry detectives. General Du Linjiang, you will be in charge of this matter. We must ensure that when the Qi army attacks, we can get the exact news."
The Jieyi Navy began to carry out large-scale construction on Xishan Island, and there was no intention of continuing to be dispatched. In addition, the Jieyi Navy also had no intention of talking to them, and the five water bandit leaders who merged together could not help but let go.
After a breath.
But just asking the Jie Yi Army to admit that they exist alone is not enough, they also need food and daily necessities. Therefore, the five water bandit leaders began to send people to negotiate with the Jie Yi Army. Of course, it was not considered a reciprocal negotiation.
After all, they are also part of the Jieyi Army. What they need is to buy food, grass and supplies and daily necessities needed for daily life on Xishan Island.
The Jieyi Navy agreed to their independent existence, but it seemed that because the Jieyi Navy was very dissatisfied with their refusal to surrender, the Jieyi Navy refused them very simply. Of course, the Jieyi Navy used the
The excuse is that Xishan Island is under construction and has absorbed many water bandits. The materials needed are very large and will not be provided to the outside for the time being.
The performance of the Jieyi Army Navy also made the leaders of the five water bandits breathe a little relieved. Because, in their opinion, this is the performance that the Jieyi Army Navy should have. Of course, they will not give up on the
The Jiyi Navy asked the Jiyi Navy to purchase materials. After all, this was their survival needs, so they proposed to increase the price and buy from the Jiyi Navy. In this way, it can be regarded as their relationship with Jiyi Navy.
The Jieyi Navy agreed to their request, but also put forward a condition for them. That is, they should attack the water bandits around them who have not yet surrendered, and use the heads of these water bandits to show that they surrendered to the Jieyi Navy.
Sincerity. After all, you said you surrendered but did not express that the navy of the Jie Yi army would not admit it. This is also a letter of surrender that they could offer when they surrendered to the Jie Yi army.
The leaders of the five water bandits were unwilling to do it, but they had to do it. After all, they had already expressed their surrender to the Jieyi Army. If they did not do anything, the Jieyi Army would naturally not believe it.
Therefore, the five water bandits began to attack a surrounding water bandit, and they used the banner of the Jieyi Army Navy. As a result, it goes without saying that the five most powerful water bands in the surrounding waters united together and destroyed them.
It is naturally not a problem for a water bandit. During the operation, the five water bandits also got a lot of money, and in a short while, they actually tasted some sweetness.
