Chapter 4247: arrange

Therefore, for the heads of the major tribes, they actually hate to see the Emperor Han, because every time they go to see the Emperor Han, it means that the Han family has owed money for too long, and they have to cry poorly. What's more embarrassing is , You cry for poverty, Shaofu also cry for poverty, both of you cry for poverty.

That's why Lindai received a 30 million yuan exchange ticket from Chang'an, saying that as long as the garbage in Shule and Yutian dared to show up, they would definitely kill Faqiang and Qingqiang.

Because the Han Dynasty hired the Southern Huns as a whole, they only paid 100 million yuan, and they also needed the Southern Xiongnu to raise their own weapons and equipment, bring their horses and listen to the command of the Hun General Zhonglang sent by the Han Dynasty.

The southern Xiongnu is analogous to the Qiang people as a whole, and the Faqiang and Qingqiang are just two tribes among the hundred Qiang. This money is enough for the young and strong of the two tribes to die collectively.

In today's terms, it means, don't let us suffer heavy losses, this money is hot to hold, and let us die to be at ease, so that we can't sleep at night. After all these years, the Han Dynasty has never seen a hired thug to give money first when.

People like Chen Xi who give money first and then work can be regarded as the elegant government of the new dynasty, but even so, Lin Dai doesn't want to go to Chang'an, and when he thinks about the process of going to Chang'an to ask for money, Lin Dai's head grows three circles, So it's better not to mention this shit.

Where to go, I would rather go to Hanzhong to buy some goose seedlings and come back to continue raising geese.

When Mahind went to Hanzhong with his own manpower, the battle in the Ganges River Basin finally came to an end. After Zhou Yu arrived in Balayaga and received the news that the Bay of Bengal Navy was completely wiped out, he still couldn't hold back a mouthful of blood. out.

Although Zhou Yu woke up quickly under the treatment of a group of doctors, even if Zhou Yu had the foundation to separate the inner qi from the body, the spit out of blood suddenly weakened a bit.

Even if Liu Bei immediately stated that the construction of ships had begun, the Liaodong Shipyard, Donglai Shipyard, Xuzhou Shipyard, and Jiangdong Shipyard all stopped the construction of civilian ships and made every effort to build warships. To start work, as long as the governor slows down, he can take over at the beginning of next year at the latest, and Zhou Yu didn't slow down.

Obviously, Zhou Yu was really hit hard this time.

In the follow-up, Zhou Yu was carried almost all the way to Fahrenheit City, while Sun Ce was left by Zhou Yu to communicate with Liu Bei at Boluo Yejia, and he needed to ask Chen Xi himself for some things.

Going eastward all the way, Zhou Yu looked at the floating corpses all over the Ganges River. To be honest, even if he knew the cause and effect, Zhou Yu couldn't believe that there was no calculation involved.

After Jia Xu and Dong Zhao received Liu Bei's order, they finally took it easy and didn't make any bait plans.

As for Mongkangbu, as Fazheng estimated, after feeling the existence of the will of the empire, he wanted to fight, but was firmly held back by Tipnan.

Just like what Fazheng said at the time, as long as Meng Kangbu still has the investigation information, he should have received the news of Altay's death before arriving in Borneo.

It can be said that Meng Kangbu's strategic plan has been forcibly suppressed by the Han Dynasty. The only target he can attack is Boluosi, and he needs to bet on other possibilities to defeat Boluosi.

Therefore, after being held back by the captain of the personal guard Tipnan, Meng Kangbu also calmed down.

The navy itself is a kind of technical arm. Meng Kangbu and Gan Ning have learned the closed-mouthed meditation for a long time. He knows how to adjust his mentality and not be arrogant or impetuous. After calming down, he realizes that he has two choices left, one One is to attack Boluosi, and the other is to retreat.

To be honest, Meng Kangbu actually wanted to choose to attack Borneos, because according to what he learned at the time, the Ganges River Basin currently ruled by the Han Dynasty is actually very empty, and there is a high probability that there are not many Han troops in the city of Borneos Garrison.

But Meng Kangbu is not blind. The middle and lower reaches of the Ganges River are now killing blood into rivers. The 200,000 captives he released are now in a mutual killing situation with the local Guishuang village because of their position. This means that What goes without saying.

Even though Meng Kangbu told himself repeatedly that he had indeed wiped out the Han Dynasty navy at the mouth of the Ganges, the large-scale mutual killings in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges kept shaking Meng Kangbu's confidence.

After all, Meng Kangbu also has a strategic view of the overall situation. He is very clear that at this point, in fact, no one can stop the mutual killing in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges River. Brothers who are obviously from the same background are divided into two sides by their positions, filling the Ganges River. It takes hundreds of thousands, or even nearly a million dead bodies to calm down.

As for stopping it, Meng Kangbu was powerless to stop it at all. Even if he went ashore, his team would face this kind of strangling from a standpoint. This was a round, and it was a dead end.

If this round continues, the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges River will no longer belong to Guishuang. No matter how powerful the Brahmins are, even if they can resurrect the dead, they will not be able to restore the hearts of the people this time. Huge loss.

In the future, it will be difficult for Guishuang to develop offline in the area ruled by the Han Dynasty, and it will be more difficult to obtain information about the Han Dynasty. More importantly, it will be difficult for Guishuang to prevent food and grass from gathering towards the Han Dynasty.

In the past, the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges did not support Guishuang, but simply continued the previous rule. Even if the Han Dynasty killed a large number of Brahmins, new Brahmins would be elected before the organizational structure collapsed. Especially when Qunvcheng is willing to accept this fact, then as long as the Brahmin system does not collapse, the inertia will continue.

Just like in ancient times, after every great chaos in the world, the new dynasty formed was said to be different from the previous dynasty, but it was still highly similar. This is social inertia.

This is actually what the Han Dynasty couldn’t solve before, not because of a few high castes, but because the middle and lower castes naturally needed high caste commanders, even if they obviously didn’t have one, they could still live, but they had to have one.

This is also the most important point for Guishuang to restrain the energy of the Han Dynasty. As long as the Han Dynasty does not accept the Brahman system, all living beings under the Brahman rule will always restrain the energy of the Han Dynasty.

To put it simply, the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges are not without food and grass. On the contrary, nearly ten million Brahmins of low and middle castes in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges turn in enough food for the Han Dynasty to bring half the country's army over, but they cannot collect it.

It is possible to fight with swords and guns, but in this world you can use swords and guns against a small number of people, but you cannot do this to most people. If you really do that, there are too many enemies.

Of course, if the Han Dynasty is willing to accept the Brahmin system, then the Brahmins can rule in an instant without any pressure, and the Brahmins may pay more taxes than the Han Dynasty, but the Han Dynasty cannot accept it. Brahmin system.

That's why Chen Xi came to investigate in person, and Li You's plan to kill each other. In essence, both parties were aiming to destroy the Brahmin system in the minds of the majority of the middle and lower castes.

Only when this problem is solved, the place occupied by the Han Dynasty is really its own place, and Meng Kangbu has realized this, and because of this realization, Meng Kangbu's confidence has been shaken.

The more than 200,000 captives were released by Meng Kangbu. This behavior allowed the Han Dynasty to escape successfully. Even if there were nearly a million casualties, the Han Dynasty can still say a word, it is not us What he did was the Guishuang captive released by Meng Kangbu, who caused chaos in the Ganges.

This is where Meng Kangbu is most shaken. He even suspects that all his actions have been counted long ago. If Tipnan and Sunil hadn't repeatedly assured that they had indeed defeated the Han army's navy, rather than Misfortune, Meng The last pillar of Kangbu may have collapsed.

In this state of unbalanced mentality, Meng Kangbu was finally persuaded by Tipnan and others, and did not launch an attack on Borneos. Instead, he withdrew the navy from the Ganges waterway, and Guishuang in the Ganges After Aruno and others who were waiting at the river mouth joined up, they retreated exhausted.

Aruno and the others were shocked when they learned of the great changes in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges, but in the end they didn't say anything. Meng Kangbu had tried his best, and their warships couldn't take away so many prisoners, so they were driven to attack the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges. The Han Dynasty village is inevitable.

According to the situation told by Sunil and others, as long as you choose this inevitable, everything that follows will be powerless to stop it. In that round, it will be useless to change anyone there, unless they can directly transport more than 200,000 captives away, okay? , even if it can be transported away, who would do that at that time?

Now that they have landed, these prisoners can also help, so how can they be sent away directly?

From the moment they met those captives, they had no choice, unless they went to rescue the captives from the very beginning, but this was impossible!

The news of Meng Kangbu's retreat was quickly passed on to Liu Bei. Fazheng and others didn't say anything about it. They did have a boat, but the problem was that the boat was not enough for Meng Kangbu to fight, so Meng Kangbu wanted to leave. , The Han Dynasty really has nothing to do.

"Let him go." Liu Bei said calmly after reading the online newspaper, they have already solved the top priority this time, and Meng Kangbu's side will wait until it is free to solve it.

"Wu Hou, if Meng Kangbu led the army to attack Southeast Asia at this time, would you be able to hold it?" Liu Bei looked at Sun Ce and asked.

After Liu Hao was solved, the biggest problem this time was solved, but the Han Dynasty navy suffered heavy losses. Liu Bei was somewhat worried that Meng Kangbu's attack on Southeast Asia would cause damage to the Han Dynasty's coastal areas. After all, if Southeast Asia cannot withstand it, the Han Dynasty Indoor coastal areas will also be affected.

"Yes." Sun Ce replied with sharp eyes.

Liu Bei raised his eyebrows, a little strange, Sun Ce asked someone to take a map of Southeast Asia, but Liu Bei couldn't understand what he said.

Speaking of which, Sun Ce was also extremely furious when he received that the navy at the mouth of the Ganges River was wiped out and only a few of the navy retreated successfully. But after Zhou Yu fell, Sun Ce's IQ rose rapidly, and he even understood Zhou Yu's arrangement in Southeast Asia .

"These are the only four places in Southeast Asia that can pass through." Sun Ce pointed to the Kra Isthmus Canal, the Strait of Malacca, the Sunda Strait, and the Lombok Strait on the map. These places are currently the key points connecting the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.

It’s not that there are no other ways, but because of ocean currents and the distribution of islands, it is basically unrealistic to take other sea routes. Either detours will lead to insufficient supplies, or there are too many hidden reefs, especially the former, the number of crew members loaded on Guishuang warships Too many, resulting in a huge demand for supplies.

In this way, the cruising range is greatly limited, especially after the Han Dynasty blocked the mainstream fresh water supply points in Southeast Asia, Guishuang has even fewer waterways to go.

In fact, that was the reason why Zhou Yu and Sailian were fighting to death at the beginning. There was no way around it, so they had to fight to find a way to occupy the golden waterway.

"These places are different from the estuary where ballistas can only be arranged in one direction. The narrowest part of these straits is only more than 30 kilometers, and the entire waterway is covered. It is difficult for the fleet to dodge and parry." Sun Ce's tone was inevitably a little lonely. , obviously these were Zhou Yu's previous preparations, but Meng Kangbu didn't go to attack the base, but came to attack Zhou Yu's main naval force.

"That's it." Liu Bei is also a man who knows how to fight, and after being pushed by Sun Ce, he instantly understood what a miserable situation it would be to face the ballista attack in the Strait.

"That is to say, it can survive without a fleet for a short period of time?" Fazheng, who was sitting on the sidelines listening, asked curiously.

"We can survive without a fleet for a short period of time. After all, when we were building in Southeast Asia, we consciously built defense equipment for these key waterways." Sun Ce nodded. These were built by Zhou Yu and others. Since leaving Malacca, Zhou Yu has been consciously strengthening the construction of coastal defense in Southeast Asia.

"But it's only for a short time." Sun Ce said with a bit of a sigh. When Fazheng raised his eyebrows, even he could feel the change in Sun Ce.

"Submarine-type tactics combined with certain secret techniques actually have the possibility of sneaking across the strait, so the surface fleet must continuously strengthen patrols. If there is a short-term lack of fleet, soldiers can be vigilant, but in the long run, it is unrealistic. When Sun Ce said this, his expression was obviously gloomy. Sun Ce still knew how the navy in the Bay of Bengal was completely wiped out.

"There is no need to worry about this. It may take some time to prepare for the seventh-generation ship, but ordinary large ships still have some reserves." Liu Bei nodded, understanding Sun Ce's mentality. Liu Bei is still very clear about the reserves of the Han army. of.

Although those big ships were originally prepared for the fishing fleet that will be formed next, they are essentially sixth-generation ships. After being equipped with weapons, they can barely be used as surface patrol fleets. The only problem is that the navy soldiers.

However, according to Sun Ce's answer and in line with Cai Mao's previous answer, those soldiers who have completed naval training, together with the recruits who are being trained, can conduct water patrols in the coverage area of ​​​​the ballista, and it is no problem to improve the defense system.

In this case, Liu Bei at least does not have to worry that Meng Kangbu will break through the naval blockade of the Han army and enter the Western Pacific to make trouble.
