Chapter 731 Bring it to you
After Zhao Yun recovered Longbian County, Jiaozhi County, at the end of the first month, the large-scale war in Jiaozhi was completely over in early February.
The rest were all small thieves. I didn’t know that Jiaozhi’s rule had changed again, and the clouds were cleared to see the sun.
Zhao Yun felt that as long as there were some soldiers who needed to be recuperated after several months of observation, they had indeed adapted to the climate, water and soil of southern Jiaozhou, maintained public order in the local area and delayed this transition period of power reconstruction, there would be no problem.
As for the governance and comfort of Jiaozhi County and Jiuzhen County, it is naturally much easier than that of Rinan County. After all, they accepted the reforms and institutional construction of Liu Bei's camp for longer, and people's hearts will be more stable.
Zhao Yun dragged him in Longbian County until February 12th, and then brought a total of 27,000 people, including the Navy connecting Taishici, down the Honghe River, and arrived at Wu'an County, the port county town of Honghekou on February 15th.
About 3,000 soldiers who adapted to the climate were left behind, and they continued to garrison and maintain the military camps and allocated them to self-sufficiently. Moreover, the people who tried to choose were all homeless people in Yangzhou and Jingnan, and they did not miss the homeland, and the tenant-born soldiers were soldiers.
In this way, their demands for changing defense will not be very strong. As long as the court gives them money, divide the land in Jiaozhi, and give other material benefits, it will be easy to retain people.
Especially the left-behind soldiers selected by Zhao Yun were some of the soldiers in the southern part of Yangzhou, Eastern Wu who surrendered before, and were from the Shanyue people. When the Sun family ruled Jiangdong, they often captured Shanyue people and exerted their troops to expand their strength. After all, even the Danyang soldiers were from Shanyue people.
Shanyue people lived everywhere. If you send a wife and a slave to Jiaozhi, you can live there happily and be willing to settle down here for a long time.
The old places of Jiaozhou and Linyi are not large in population, and the lifestyle that mainly collects and fishes cannot support much population density. The total population counted on the list is less than one million.
This war was killed 200,000 times, which means that nearly half of the men were killed. Therefore, the court did not have to look ugly and forced barbarian women to send them to the soldiers of the Han Dynasty. It was enough to be collected according to the principle of voluntaryness.
After all, Zhao Yun also needs to pay attention to the way of doing things. It is difficult to learn from Cao Cao's forced marriage to a widow, which would damage Liu Bei's reputation. Zhao Yun fully knows where the standard is.
Elegant eating habits can solve the problem even if you have a graceful appearance. Why not eat bad appearances? It is not necessary to be aware of it.
A discerning person also saw that Zhao Yun's troops returned to the army were one-third less than when they came. The difference was obviously all dead.
The main force of the withdrawal led by Zhao Yun spent a few days resting in Wu'an County, supplying long-distance supplies, and preparing for a return trip to re-voyage, and then going to sea again in late February.
The fleet crossed the Beibu Gulf and bypassed the Zhuya Peninsula. Its voyage was 1,500 miles within ten days. It arrived at the Nanhai County, Panyu County at the mouth of the Pearl River in early March.
Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci had to sigh that the expedition was really troublesome, and they were already within the homeland of the Han Dynasty. There were more than 2,000 miles of coastlines in Jiaozhou from east to west.
After arriving in Panyu, Zhao Yun could finally send a messenger to go up the Pearl River, arrive in Cangwu, cross the Wuling Mountains to Jingnan, and then use both boats and horses to quickly send good news to Luoyang and Chang'an.
This is not that Zhao Yun is not concerned about it, but that he is compassionate and kind to the soldiers. If he crosses 100,000 mountains directly from Jiaozhi to deliver messages, I don’t know how many messengers will die on the road. He can complete the most dangerous section by sea, and there will be post stations and official roads in the future, so this is safe.
However, this also led to why Luoyang and Chang'an areas were delayed until the end of April and early May before they received Zhao Yun's good news.
When the good news arrived, Zhao Yun's large army actually stopped and stopped along the sea and had just returned to Wujun at the estuary of the Yangtze River.
The monsoon wind direction encountered by the army was not smooth at one time. I stopped several times and waited for the headwind to pass, so I forced my way back and sailed along the South China Sea and the East China Sea coast for two months.
When he returned to Wujun, Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief and sighed that the itinerary was far away:
"If you start from Kuaiji, you will reach Jieyang, Nanhai County for 2,500 miles, Jieyang to Panyu, 700*** Yu to Longbian, 1,600 miles, Longbian to Linyi, and 1,200 miles, and Linyi to Chameng City for 900 miles.
This time, we sailed seven thousand miles from the farthest Chameng! Fortunately, when we went there, we took a shortcut from Jieyang via Zhuya and rushed straight to the farthest Chameng, shortening the four sections of the last four sections to 3,500 miles, saving 1,000 miles.
That is, the journey is 6,000 miles in total, and the return journey is 7,000 miles in August. It will take a sail in May of the next year. It will take a full nine months, sailing 13,000 miles, and the real expedition will be.
Three hundred years ago, Huo Piqiu had only entered the desert for two thousand miles. From Chang'an to Liangzhou, Hetao was less than two thousand miles. In total, it was 4,000 miles a day and 8,000 miles a day. The sea was much wider than the desert."
When Wei Yan heard this, he also praised Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci: "Those are the two generals who have outstanding achievements. Your Majesty is a heroic and wise man, and Sikong Temple is far away."
Zhao Yun couldn't help laughing: "Wen Chang, you have actually studied in the past few years. Your Majesty has naturally broken up with Sikong Temple. We are just relying on the benefits of a new sea boat, and we still need to be cautious of arrogance and impetuousness."
Wei Yan and Zhao Yun answered this question, not because they dropped the book bag, but because some books represent the official ideology of the court, and have been published in recent years, and all civil and military officials in the court will learn the spirit of the document.
The eight words "Mingming Miaomo, Majestic and Majestic" are derived from Cai Yong's "Dongguan Han Ji", and were later included in Cai Yan's "Book of the Later Han. Emperor Guangwu" which was just completed. It is a literary intertextual technique. Later, it was agreed that Xiongduo was the emperor's and Majestic and Majestic and Majestic and Majestic.
Any history is contemporary history. Although Cai Yong and Cai Yan wrote the history of Emperor Guangwu’s entrepreneurship, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it can be applied to the current situation, and everyone’s words are all covered with “Your Majesty’s Majesty’s Majesty, Sikong Temple Mo”.
Zhao Yun talked and laughed for a while and returned to his solemnity. He thought of some suggestions for the long-term plan. He was preparing to summarize his experience and report to Liu Bei on this Wanli Expedition.
"I don't know how difficult it is to sail without going through a thousand miles of expeditions. Although the world is not yet determined, it is urgent to urgently need veterans with too long-term war experience to serve the country and attack Yuan Cao in the north. However, it is a pity for soldiers who have sailed more than 10,000 miles on the sea to consume it.
That would have lost one-third of the manpower and spent countless materials on the court to accumulate experience. In the future, it should be used as a seed to cross the sea. Even if you fight Yuan Cao, you should be on the East China Sea, intercepting Cao's army by sea, and communicating with Liaodong. You can no longer be wasted in ordinary land wars."
Zhao Yun summarized this and felt a sense of mission and responsibility in his heart. If he didn't say this, no one would say it to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei wouldn't know it.
In later generations, this kind of experience is actually well known.
Because the navy needs more professional training than the army and its personnel are precious, after the modern navy formed an army, unless the Lucians' warships and ports were completely destroyed, the navy was allowed to fill the trench defense line to fight position warfare, otherwise the sea and land would be separated.
As for the Air Force, it will not allow pilots to fill the ground defense line after the appearance of the Air Force. How expensive is the pilot training cost?
However, in 199, there was no such historical experience on the land of China. The technical content of the navy was not very high before, and both water and land were used in mixed water and land.
Zhao Yun did not understand the scientific principle of "technical troops should not be used as cannon fodder to waste", but he sailed more than 10,000 miles and witnessed so many losses of chariots. He had this practical experience in his heart, and he would not be happy if he didn't vomit.
After all, when he went there, there were only 30,000 people, and in the end, only 30,000 people were left. A considerable number of these people who lost were not killed in battle, and only a few thousand people died of illness directly.
The number of casualties in the battle was actually more than 11,000, of which the most casualties in Champa were killed and injured, with six or seven thousand people in the first and last years, and the total of less than 5,000 people in the subsequent three battles.
However, in this case, less than 3,000 people died directly, and more than 8,000 were difficult to treat after being injured in Li Zhan. Slight injuries in tropical damp and hot environments will be infected and suppurated, and severe inflammation.
Even though Zhao Yun accompanied the army to Zhang Ji and his military medical team, according to the Central Plains' medical skills in handling war injuries, the mortality rate of wounded people is still two or three times higher than that of the Central Plains' combat!
After the mildly injured in the Central Plains area was treated, the infection mortality rate could be controlled at 20% or 30%. In Linyi, this data reached "60% or 70% of the mildly injured will die if they apply medicine."
Because of this, it is very difficult to survive the survivors who have been unable to adapt to the tropical environment, have been infected with blood plagues by poisonous insects, and have been infected with the damp and heat environment. Zhao Yun cannot accept that these soldiers are wasted on the battlefield without technical content.
I hope Liu Bei, who is still expanding his army, can understand it. Seeing that Liu Bei expanded his army by 80,000 last year, and he will expand his army by 100,000 this year, and increase his total strength to 500,000, you will know that Liu Bei is now very eager to concentrate all superior forces.
...
May 12, Luoyang.
Li Su had just sent Zhuge Liang away and reported to Guan Yu, and then received Zhao Yun's good news. The envoy did not stop in Luoyang for much and continued to go west to Chang'an to report the news.
The two capitals were naturally full of joy, and even Li Su couldn't help but whisper: "Zilong finally fulfilled his mission and actually pacified such a faraway place at one time."
Considering that when Zhao Yun was sent out by Li Su on an expedition, Li Su was still the governor of the affairs of the southern states, he had to perform his merits for Zhao Yun and his subordinates.
Li Su hurriedly took a closer look at Zhao Yun's detailed report, the performance of each general and civil servant, and then formed a memorial, asking Huang Quan to send it to Chang'an to Liu Bei immediately.
Li Su was very careful to divide it into two parts. Before Huang Quan left, Li Su also took care of his method of submitting it:
"Gongheng, this first thing I have made contributions to the generals. I just state their facts and achievements without evaluation or praise. Since we are grateful, we are promoted and awarded titles, which are the power of Your Majesty. Those who are ministers should not speak too much.
This second way is that if His Majesty wants to ask me for reward after seeing the generals’ military achievements, you can take a walk and hand over this opinion, so that you can avoid going back and forth between Chang'an and Luoyang, and spending more than seven or eight days in vain."
Li Su is very good at doing things. Fact judgment is factual judgment, and value judgment is value judgment. The emperor does not ask about your value judgment opinion, so you cannot take the initiative to say it first.
Huang Quan was also an old man who uploaded and issued it, and immediately said that he knew how to do it.
Four days later, he rushed to Chang'an and handed over the memorial of Li Su to Zhao Yun for his memorial.
Liu Bei was also excited: "Zilong exterminated all the fake kings of Linyi? He still established trade strongholds in Linyi and Chameng City to allow the savages to accept the laws of the Han Dynasty's wealth and tribute to the sea trade?
That is really a rare achievement of restoring the border. How should he be rewarded with official positions and titles? At the grand ceremony of the day, he could summon all the ministers to discuss... Well? By the way, Boya didn't mention how he thought Zilong and other civil officials should be rewarded?"
Huang Quan was not easy to deceive the emperor after being asked directly by Liu Bei. He subconsciously stammered for a second or two.
After all, if the emperor didn't ask directly, you can go to Xinfeng for a day or two before coming back and send Li Su's second call, but the emperor asked directly, and denied that he would be cheating the emperor.
Unfortunately, Liu Bei knew Li Su too much and other ministers too much. He received a private message in Shiqu Pavilion that day, so he did not have to talk about court etiquette.
As soon as Huang Quan hesitated, Liu Bei saw the clues. He didn't make it difficult for the other party to do it. He jumped off the imperial throne and walked to Huang Quan with great strides:
"I have found out that you have handed the form to Beya a few times and walked very fast! Sometimes you can travel thousands of miles a day! Come on, come on."
