Chapter 963 In the land of Great Chu, there is no extra inch!
Jinyiwei is not only responsible for monitoring the world, but also for collecting intelligence on enemy countries. They have direct access to Tianting and only report to Yan Liang.
Now there is Si Wen Cao in the DPRK, who has control of the intelligence network of the Chinese military. The so-called "listening to both sides" means that Yan Liang needs to use Jin Yiwei's intelligence and Si Wen Cao's intelligence to corroborate each other in order to make a wiser judgment.
Jin Yiwei reported in the intelligence that Zhang Fei, a remnant of the pseudo-Han general, was regarded as Susanoo by the Japanese after he captured the four islands of the Japanese country. Millions of people in the Japanese country obeyed his orders.
Zhang Fei then taught all the advanced agricultural and handicraft technologies of the Han to the Japanese, merged the four islands of the Japanese country into one, named it Yingzhou, and followed the example of China in setting up counties and counties, with separate officials to rule them.
As for Zhang Fei himself, he still calls himself the Han Chariot and Cavalry General, and he also serves as the governor of Yingzhou, making Daban City the seat of his state government.
"The Japanese are so ignorant. Even Susanoo has come out. Why don't they just make Zhang Fei the Hokage..."
Yan Liang thought of an anime he had watched before time travel. He did not expect that the terms in it would appear in the Three Kingdoms era 1,800 years ago. He was a bit dumbfounded.
"Susano'o, what is that?" Xu Shu also asked curiously.
Prime Minister Pang Tong smiled and said: "According to my understanding of the Japanese country over the years, the Japanese country was still in the early stages of ignorance. Susanoo and Amaterasu were all gods worshiped by them. Zhang Fei came from China.
, swept across the Japanese islands with thousands of soldiers, and the Japanese were so frightened that they probably thought he was the legendary god descending to earth, so they worshiped him as Susanoo."
When everyone heard this, they understood a lot. Xu Shu praised: "Prime Minister Shi Yuan is really knowledgeable. He even understands the allusions of Japanese islands so clearly."
"No, no. I just thought that your majesty would conquer the Japanese country sooner or later and wipe out the remnant Zhang Fei. Therefore, over the years, I have tried my best to collect information about the Japanese country." Pang Tong said modestly.
Yan Liang also understood a lot now. With Zhang Fei's courage and the strength of the Han army, thousands of soldiers and horses wiped out the backward Japanese. It would indeed not be a problem.
Although Zhang Fei was killed like a dog by Yan Liang in the Central Plains and fled in embarrassment, in the "barren land" like Japan, it was easy to become king and dominate.
The more backward people are, the easier it is to worship the strong. Zhang Fei took the Central Plains and fled to the Japanese country, and was regarded as a god by the ignorant Japanese people. It is reasonable.
"Zhang Fei named the Japanese state Yingzhou. This saves me trouble. After the conquest in the future, Yingzhou will be included as the fifteenth state of our great Chu state." Yan Liang said boldly.
Yingzhou, the fifteenth state of Dachu?
All the ministers present looked shocked.
"Your Majesty, this Yingzhou is isolated overseas and is nothing more than a foreign land. Our Da Chu has a vast territory, so such an isolated overseas state does not seem to be of much value." Tian Feng, an old minister, expressed his objection.
Tian Feng's thoughts, in Yan Liang's opinion, are typical of the Celestial Empire's thoughts.
Dachu was the richest and most advanced country in this era. It was called the Celestial Kingdom, and it was worthy of its name.
Although the title of the Celestial Kingdom can be the pride of the Chinese people, it cannot become a shackles of blind arrogance.
In the past history, the Tang Dynasty was so powerful. It also regarded itself as a celestial dynasty and exported its excellence to the surrounding Hu tribes like rewards without any reservation.
As a result, the Tang Dynasty nourished the backward Hu people. When the An-Shi Rebellion broke out, the Hu people jumped out one after another and attacked the Tang Dynasty. They invaded and devoured the Tang Dynasty that had nourished them.
Yan Liang, who is familiar with history, would naturally not make such a mistake.
Although Yingzhou is located overseas, if it is immortal and included in the territory of Dachu, it will greedily absorb the excellent culture and technology of Dachu and continuously strengthen itself.
Until one day, when it grows strong enough, it will take advantage of China's crisis and take advantage of the situation to retaliate and bite back.
In Yan Liang's view, Dachu cannot be closed to the outside world, nor can its excellent culture and technology. Sooner or later, it will be spread to other areas. In order to nip those potential threats in the bud, the best way is to remove those countries from outside the area.
, all were included in the territory of Da Chu.
The whole world belongs to the Chu State, and you can make trouble as you wish. Even if there is civil strife in the Chu State in the future, it will be the business of your own family, and it will not be anyone else's turn to peep.
"Not an inch of the land of Da Chu is redundant. If I capture an extra inch of land today, I will be able to provide an extra inch of ground for future generations of people of Da Chu. Yuan Hao, we must take a longer view and not just limit ourselves.
For a while."
Yan Liangao spoke to the ministers in a cold and bold tone, indicating his great ambitions to the ministers.
There is not an inch of land in Dachu that is redundant...
Yan Liang's words deeply shocked the hearts of the ministers. These deafening words echoed in the minds of the ministers, making them all fall into deep thought.
Why did the Yellow Turban Rebellion start? Isn't it because the powerful people annexed the land, leaving the people of the world with no land to cultivate and had to follow Zhang Jiao in rebellion?
If the territory of Da Chu is large enough, so big that you can annex an acre of land, my army of Da Chu can open up an area. At that time, if you are still afraid that the people will have no land to cultivate, do you still have to worry that the people will rebel?
?
Tian Feng was thoughtful. After a long time, he took a long breath and looked at Yan Liang again, with respect between his brows.
"Your Majesty is far-sighted and far-sighted, far beyond the past and present. Your Majesty is not as good as my elders." Tian Feng raised his hands in admiration.
Tian Feng had a strong temperament and had been loyal to Yan Liang for many years, but he rarely expressed his praise. Not long after he entered the court from Liaodong, he was able to express his admiration for Yan Liang as "he has traveled far beyond the past and the present". This praise is truly weighty.
The other ministers also realized the significance of taking Yingzhou, so no one expressed any objection. The only thing that needed to be considered was when to send troops.
Yingzhou is isolated overseas, and Zhang Fei has established a firm foothold there. If he wants to destroy it, he must build a large fleet and conduct an expedition across the sea. Without an army of about 70,000 to 80,000 people, it is obviously not enough.
At present, Goguryeo and Xianbei are not destroyed, and the two careerists Liu Bei and Sima Yi are still outside, ready to counterattack the Central Plains at any time. Before these troubles are eliminated, it is obviously not a wise move to launch an expedition to Yingzhou.
"After this autumn, destroy Xianbei first, and then destroy Goguryeo. Once the mainland is leveled, the Japanese will be wiped out immediately." Yan Liang was decisive and set the tone for the future strategic policy.
Most of the ministers also seconded the proposal and deeply agreed with Yan Liang's grand strategy.
"Although Yingzhou can temporarily suspend the conquest, it is said that Zhang Fei has been imitating our naval warships in recent years. During this period, he also sent people to plunder the Liaodong coast and robbed the coastal people, especially various craftsmen. Zhang Fei
He is so arrogant, I feel that I must teach him a lesson." Fazheng also noticed his opinion.
Yan Liang naturally understood Zhang Fei's intention.
Although the Japanese numbered in the millions, most of them were ignorant. It was obviously impossible for Zhang Fei to significantly improve the scientific and technological level of the Japanese by bringing thousands of Han troops and craftsmen with him in a few years.
Without enough craftsmen, how could Zhang Fei build ships and smelt iron and copper to make weapons and armor to cope with Yan Liang's future army conquests?
That's why Zhang Fei wanted to follow the example of the Japanese pirates in history, who raided the coast and plundered the high-quality population of the Central Plains to enrich his national power.
Along the coasts like Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Jizhou and Youzhou, the main force of the Chu navy is deployed. With Zhang Fei's little naval strength, he naturally did not dare to invade these big states, so he only dared to plunder Liaodong, which is closer to Yingzhou.
.
"Filial piety is very straightforward. Although I am not in a hurry to conquer Yingzhou, how can we, the great Chu Dynasty, allow foreign barbarians to harass me? Zhang Fei is so rampant, I must teach him a lesson." Yan Liang.
The words contained murderous intent.
Pang Tong then suggested that the current navy be re-divided and an additional fleet be established in Liaodong to deal with Zhang Fei's harassment of the Liaodong coast.
According to Pang Tong's proposal, Yan Liangsui divided the current navy into Qingxu Fleet, Bohai Fleet, and Liaodong Fleet.
The Qingxu Fleet has Lingtong as its naval commander and Weihai as its home port base, and is responsible for protecting the coastal security of the states south of Qingzhou.
The Bohai Fleet, with Jiang Qin as its naval commander, was stationed along the coast of Yuyang and guarded the coasts of Jiyou states.
As for the Liaodong Fleet, Yan Liang chose Haiming City in Fang County as the home port of the Liaodong Fleet. Yan Liang even appointed Gan Ning to concurrently serve as the naval commander for this most important fleet.
As Yan Liang's Five Tiger General, Gan Ning played a huge role in Yan Liang's war from south to north, and his contribution was not insignificant.
However, as the war progressed to the north, more and more cavalry battles were conducted, and Gan Ning's power was not as good as that of Zhang Liao and other cavalry generals from the north.
Therefore, in all the battles in which Yan Liang destroyed Han and Jin, Gan and Ning were not dazzling.
Things are different now. Gan Ning, who is good at commanding infantry operations and even better at commanding naval forces, will become the main force in Yan Liang's future attack on Yingzhou, just like Lu Meng, Ling Tong, Jiang Qin and other young generals.
As Liaodong landed in Yingzhou recently, the Liaodong fleet will also become Yan Liangdong's main fleet to destroy Zhang Fei. Such an important fleet, Yan Liang naturally has to hand it over to his most valued and trusted general.
Lu Meng commanded the Liaodong Army and had no time to deal with Goguryeo and Liu Bei, so Gan Ning naturally became Yan Liang's best choice.
After years of silence, Gan Ning was finally re-employed and had the opportunity to show off his talents. When he received Yan Liang's imperial edict, he was naturally very high-spirited and excited.
Yan Liang personally held a banquet in the palace to bid farewell to Gan Ning, and gave him instructions and instructions on his plans to destroy the Japanese in the future. He also told him to lead the Liaodong fleet well so that he could be the pioneer of Chu's eastward expedition to Yingzhou in the future.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I have a minister in Liaodong. Zhang Fei, that guy, can't let Pianfan get close to Liaodong. One day, your Majesty will destroy the Japanese. I will be the vanguard and open up a highway for your Majesty on the sea to take the Japanese island!"
Gan Ning stood up majestically and expressed his determination to Yan Liang.
Yan Liang nodded slightly, patted Gan Ning's shoulder, and said with a bold smile: "If Xingba takes action, I have nothing to worry about. When I personally go to Liaodong one day, it will be the day when our great Chu will destroy the Japanese!"
