Chapter 357 The map opens the border
Yang Feng is in Lushan, Yin'an.
As long as no emperor is stupid, he will not tolerate such a situation.
It’s not that Li Longji doesn’t understand.
He had definitely considered the issue of An Lushan's rebellion. The latter's performance confused him. As a Hu man without a foundation, An Lushan deserves his trust more than the nobles in the court. This is the reason why Emperor Xuanzong of Tang reused the Hu people and poor families a lot. The Li family, who started with nobles, knew too well that those aristocratic families threatened them. He did not dare to give those aristocratic families any chance. If he wanted to check and balance the aristocratic families, he could only use Hu people and poor families, especially An Lushan, who had no foundation to promote him.
But he also knew that there was a limit to reuse.
He dared not trust a noble family, and of course he could not trust the Hu people either.
No one is trustworthy in the eyes of the emperor.
There is only balance in the eyes of the emperor.
When he suddenly realized that this pawn that he had checked and balanced the aristocratic family had expanded to the point where he could threaten him, he would inevitably take measures to weaken it. No matter what measures he took, it was welcomed by Yang Feng, and it was also popular among many people in the court. It can be confirmed that as long as Li Longji showed his intention to weaken An Lushan, countless people would come up to take the blame, such as...
"His Majesty!"
A thin and sinister purple eggplant walked to Li Longji and said respectfully.
"Guozhong, you are here!"
Li Longji said expressionlessly.
"Look at this picture together!"
Then he said.
"Your Majesty, who is the one who made this picture?"
Yang Guozhong said in surprise.
Li Longji pointed at Yang Feng.
"Return to Yang Shilang, the last commander of the Anxi Army's Thunder Ye Shou captured Yang Feng, the commander of the Corsair of the Fruit. This picture was made by the last general of the Immortal Professor!"
Yang Feng bowed.
"It's just God bless the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty. I just thought about a plan to eradicate Nanzhao. It just happened to require the terrain there. Captain Yang is really a timely help. Captain Yang, don't you know this is Zhu Yuanjiang?"
Yang Guozhong pointed at Honghe with an exaggerated expression and said.
“That’s right!”
Yang Feng said in a very cooperative manner.
"Then what is the terrain along the river?"
Yang Guozhong asked.
"The lower reaches of Zhuyuan River, which is where the Annan Protectorate is located, is mainly plains. However, due to the humid and hot climate, the rivers are densely packed, almost like around Taihu Lake in eastern Zhejiang. It is extremely suitable for rice growth. You can get two or even three ripens in a year. Although the terrain begins to fluctuate upstream, it is not rugged. At most, such as states such as Bayu. However, because of the sparse population, the jungle is dense and almost wild. After entering Nanzhao, it becomes a mountain and ridge."
Yang Feng said.
"Where can Zhu Yuanjiang be navigated?"
Li Longji asked directly on behalf of Yang Guozhong.
"Here, Heman tribe, Ma Yuan mentioned this path during the Han Dynasty. It can be navigated from here to Zhuyuan River mouth. I have comments on the navigation sections of the rivers here."
Yang Feng said.
While speaking, he pointed to a line of small characters under the yellow line of the Honghe River. Li Longji leaned over and saw that there was a real navigation section on it, and even the most suitable navigation period for each year. Only then did he truly understand that this map was not just a map. It was completely a magic weapon for expanding territory. You should know that Yang Feng's annotations even marked the ships that were suitable for. This guy who became emperors of the three dynasties undoubtedly had sufficient knowledge reserves for these. In fact, the Honghe River could navigate from the estuary section, even the small steamer in the inland river. From the estuary section to the Jianshui area, it could sail normally.
This line is an important passage to go out to Yunnan, otherwise the geographical location of the river estuary of Laojie would not be so important.
"This is the place away from Dianchi Lake?"
Li Longji snatched Yang Feng's ruler and measured it. He then moved to the north to measure it downwards. It was clear at a glance which distance between the two places was far and which was close to each other. There would be no railways or real roads in this era. Military transportation was the main dependence of inland rivers. As long as it could be navigated, it would be fine. If there were no river navigation plains, it would be fine. If it was a mountainous area, then the attacker would lose half first. To march from southern Sichuan, Nanzhao must be entangled with the natives who were familiar with the terrain between the mountains and ridges. Although we had to walk the mountain road from this direction, the distance was not less than half of the past from southern Sichuan.
"Do you want to attack from Annan?"
He asked Yang Guozhong.
"Your Majesty is wise, I think a surprise soldier can be sent from Annan to go up along Zhuyuan River."
Yang Guozhong said.
"But I have never walked through this path. Isn't it too risky? You should know that when fighting in Nanzhao, the enemy is not only the natives, miasma and epidemics are the most difficult to deal with."
Li Siye said.
"Miscity is actually formed by the accumulation of rotten substances for millions of years. This is indeed unsolvable. However, when people advance and miasma retreat, the miasma naturally disappears when there are too many people. This is indeed inevitable, but there are ways to prevent it to the greatest extent. For example, don't drink raw water, boil all the water before drinking. I can ensure that half of the epidemic is completely solved, and then prevent mosquitoes. This can be used to repel mosquito herbs. In addition, I feel that there is no need to attack at all. Are the natives in Nanzhao loyal to Geluofeng? Is there no one in Nanzhao who wants to take him instead? Did Pigeluo have to surrender when conquering the various tribes of Nanzhao? If so, it would be easy to deal with. Give them official titles, give them excellent weapons from our Tang Dynasty, and then build a city there to give them confidence. I think there is no need for our army to take action for the rest.
If it doesn't work, just buy a head.
Use 100,000 yuan to buy the head of Luofeng!
There will always be people who are moved.
I do not think that the chiefs of Nanzhao would be loyal to Ge Luofeng for more than 100,000."
Yang Feng said sinisterly.
"Also, as far as I know, Nanzhao should be short of salt, right?"
He said.
"Yes, although there is a salt well in Nanzhao, because he does not know how to cook salt, it is said that he can only pour salt on the charcoal fire and scrape salt grains to obtain salt. Therefore, it is still satisfying to remove the Erhai area of Dianchi Lake and Erhai Lake. There is extremely salt shortage in other places. Geluofeng's rebellion is largely for the salt well in southern Sichuan."
Li Siye said from the side.
"That's even simpler. As long as a city is built up the upper reaches of Zhuyuan River, if there are people who are heads or prisoners from the Ge Luofeng tribes to give salt directly, and a salt field is built along the coast of Annan, are you afraid that you will not be able to play Ge Luofeng if you guard a sea? In short, as long as you build such a city and then send thousands of soldiers to garrison, even if these soldiers no longer take a step into the mountains and ridges, it is enough to make Ge Luofeng cry. This is just the beginning. Once the troops are stationed, they can then immigrate there. As long as there is no abandonment, they will become an important town in the south of the sky within twenty years. With this city there, Nanzhao will never be qualified to rebel again. At that time, then gradually march into it in depth to immigrate and open up wasteland to build a city. In less than fifty years, the entire Nanzhao will always be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty."
Yang Feng said with a smile.
"Okay, Captain Yang is indeed a young hero with both civil and military integrity in the Tang Dynasty!"
Yang Guozhong said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I will use the Minister of War as the Chief of the Ministry of War to ask for merit. I will use the Chief of the Ministry of War to kill Shiguo's rebel leader to rescue three thousand comrades and defend the achievements of Sha Ye. The Chief of the Jin Zhaowu also awarded the honorary cavalry commander to offer the title of the eight mountains of the Tang Dynasty to help the court pacify Nanzhao to expand territory and expand the territory of Jin guerrilla generals, and also awarded the honorary cavalry commander."
Then he bowed to Li Longji and said.
From this we can see that the person who wanted to be named Yang Feng was the Zhaowu Captain, and the Cavalry Captain was a honorary officer, which was of no use. As for the general Xuanwei and the Baron just now, they were simply adding him to fool An Lushan. Anyway, they were dismissed. Even if they were given the general of the cavalry, Li Longji was just talking. Yang Guozhong knew that Yang Feng was going to be promoted to Zhaowu Captain, so he said so. As for the promotion to the guerrilla general, this was what he sincerely gave Yang Feng to his sincere reward. Among his positions, the Minister of War, and the promotion of the army was originally responsible for him.
"snort!"
Li Longji glared at Yang Feng.
Yang Guozhong didn't understand yet.
"Mr. Yang, the Prince Yang, had just beaten the Prince of Dongping in duel and was seriously injured by His Majesty General Xuanwei and Xiazhi County men."
Gao Lishi whispered.
Yang Guozhong took a breath of air conditioning, and then his eyes became more friendly when he looked at Yang Feng.
"Ge Shuhan reported that you have a plan to attack Tubo from the rear of Kainan Road. Let's talk about it together!"
Li Longji said angrily.
"Well, this plan requires ship building first, and a large number of large sea ships that can travel thousands of miles must be built. Such sea ships must prepare materials first and dry the wood for at least three years. Otherwise, the built ship will be difficult to support a round-trip sailing."
Yang Feng said.
"This is easy, I can still do it for another three years!"
Li Longji said.
Then there was a sound of flattery that he lived for a hundred years.
"I also have new sea ship patterns. This kind of ship is enough to carry hundreds of soldiers to voyage thousands of miles. It also regards the waves on the sea like flat ground. As long as there is enough wood, it can start building. It takes about two or three years to build a hundred giant ships. During this period, more than 20,000 soldiers will be added to Annan to adapt to the hot areas to avoid the epidemic. When the fleet is completed, it will take a fleet to carry soldiers, and first capture a place in Zhenla to establish a port and garrison troops. When this port is completed, the fleet will continue to move forward, seize the place at Sriver's departure, and also establish a port and garrison troops. After the port is built here, it will be used as a springboard to continue moving forward, build a port and garrison troops every two thousand miles along Tonghaiyi Road, but there is no need to attack in depth, as long as the natives can provide our army with supplies.
Jump forward in this way and spend five years jumping to the place in India.”
Yang Feng pointed to the location of Dhaka and said.
"From here, there is a warm water net plain like eastern Zhejiang, which is also as rich and abundant as eastern Zhejiang. To the north of this plain is Tubo, there is a mountain pass here. From this mountain pass you can directly pass through the snow-capped mountains that stretch from east to west, and Luss is just seven hundred miles away."
Chapter completed!
