Chapter 123 3 Great Backstab Experts Gathered in 2 Guang
In short, such a factory manager who is loyal to the emperor, has great martial arts skills, and will do anything to suppress the martial arts world.
This also made all the martial artists fearful.
The Lingnan martial arts world was originally very weak, so they decided to just join the army!
Working hard for the army might even earn you wealth and glory, which is better than becoming a dog of the Western Factory.
Therefore, disciples from the Lingnan sects came out one after another, planning to join Rand's new army.
Those who joined the grain transport team were outer disciples from various major sects who came to test the team.
Lu Weibin didn't care what their purpose was. He just trained these grain transport teams and sent them to Shennan.
The soldiers and horses move forward before the food and grass are moved.
Lu Weibin had to prepare food and fodder for the army along the way.
Although Lu Weibin had never been in charge of military affairs, he quickly understood the key points of military strategy through the process of studying things and gaining knowledge.
Even some capable officials who were familiar with military affairs praised Lu Weibin's arrangements.
After everything was arranged, Lu Weibin and Tang Yan waited for Rand's army at the Xiangjiang River.
Sailing along the sea, the soldiers finally got used to the bumps on the sea.
Rand could also stand on the deck and enjoy the beautiful sea view.
Compared to the hardships of the land journey, taking a boat south is like heaven.
At least seasickness won’t kill you, but marching on land can easily lead to death.
If we march from Kyoto to Shennan by land, we would probably lose several hundred soldiers.
But if you transport it by sea first and then by land, the loss will be much smaller.
Rand couldn't help but sigh, if it weren't for the emperor's brother-in-law who lifted the maritime ban and opened up sea navigation, who knows how many elite troops would have been wasted.
These are all elite soldiers who accompanied Rand in his battles.
With these personal soldiers and officers as a framework, Rand will be able to quickly form a strong division after arriving in Shennan!
Meanwhile, Dai Viet was unaware of the impending danger.
Hu Shengchen, the king of Dai Viet, has been very ambitious since he ascended the throne.
The Ho Dynasty of Dai Viet was usurped over the throne and after that, it also paid tribute to the Great Zhou.
However, the then Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou did not agree with the Hu family's usurpation of the throne.
He once sent the then Xiao Wangfu to launch an expedition.
The outcome of that expedition was disastrous, with many soldiers buried in Dai Viet, but the Ho Dynasty was not overthrown.
Emperor Taizu had to stop the war.
In recent years, Dayue has gradually grown bigger and its ambitions can no longer be concealed.
After Hu Shengchen ascended the throne, the young King of Dai Viet began to regard himself as the ruler of the Nan'an Peninsula.
There are three countries in the South China Peninsula.
The kings of Dai Viet, Cao Cambodia and Thailand.
Dai Viet and Cao Cambodia almost divided the South China Peninsula in half.
The King of Thailand only has one tentacle left here.
In the past, when the Kingdom of Thailand was powerful, Dai Viet and Cambodia would unite to prevent the Kingdom of Thailand from advancing deeply into the South China Peninsula.
However, over the past hundred years, the power of the King of Thailand has gradually declined.
Therefore, conflicts between Dai Viet and Cao Cambodia continued to increase.
The ancient kingdom of Gao Cambodia has always been a vassal state of the Great Zhou.
The Great Zhou also regarded itself as a protectorate of Cambodia.
However, since Emperor Taizu's failed expedition to Dai Viet, the Great Zhou gradually lost control of the Nangan Peninsula.
Now the king of the ancient Kingdom of Cao Cambodia has just died unexpectedly, leaving behind only orphans and a widow.
Dai Viet certainly would not miss the opportunity to unify the Nangan Peninsula and brazenly attacked the ancient Kingdom of Cao Cambodia.
Cambodia could only ask the Great Zhou for help.
So the decision was made to send troops to Dai Viet.
Hu Shengchen is also a good soldier.
He knew that although Dai Viet had the advantage of fighting on its own territory.
However, it is unwise to confront the Great Zhou head-on, so Hu Shengchen only used elite forces to defend the border, and then concentrated most of the domestic forces to attack Gao Cambodia with all his strength!
As long as Dai Viet can annex the Nangan Peninsula, it will have the capital to become a great power!
To the north, you can harass Da Zhou and attack Shennan of Da Zhou.
To the west, you can attack the King of Thailand and continue to expand into Central Asia.
This is the foundation of being a king or a hegemon!
Prince Xiao's palace also saw Dai Viet's ambition, so it kept petitioning the court to send troops to Dai Viet.
Hu Shengchen’s Palace of the King of Dayue is a huge building in the style of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, our army is now less than 200 miles away from the capital of Gao Cambodia!"
The one who spoke was the general of Dai Viet.
Hu Shengchen played with the jade in his hand and said with a smile: "Gao Cambodia has never been our enemy. What's important is the movement of the Great Zhou."
The general said: "The Great Zhou dare not to launch an expedition against our Great Yue!"
Hu Shengchen nodded. There was indeed no movement in Prince Xiao’s Mansion at the moment.
As long as Gao and Cambodia are swallowed up, Dai Viet will take the initiative!
The entire land of the Nan'an Peninsula can be used to build a regional power!
This is exactly what Hu Shengchen wanted!
Rand, Lu Weibin and Tang Yan finally met at the Xiangjiang River.
Although the three of them have different backgrounds.
Lan De was the relative of Concubine Lan, Lu Weibin was the top scorer in the imperial examination, and Tang Yan was the son of the prime minister.
But the three of them had similar interests and quickly became friends.
At the Xiangjiang Maritime Customs Office, Rand looked at the posted map and asked first:
"Master Tang, is this Westerner's map correct?"
Tang Yan said: "According to my current exploration, the map of the Nanyang area is very accurate."
Rand looked at the Nan'an Peninsula and the South Seas, looking thoughtful.
Lu Weibinze said: "General, I have prepared food and fodder along the way to Shennan, you can set off at any time."
Rand said, "No hurry, I plan to recruit soldiers directly in Lingnan!"
Lu Weibin was surprised when he heard this.
According to the emperor's order, Rand should recruit soldiers in Shennan.
If you want to recruit soldiers in Lingnan, you have to travel all the way from here to Shennan.
This road is not easy to travel and many soldiers will be killed or injured.
Why recruit soldiers in Lingnan?
Lu Weibin looked at Rand in confusion.
Rand did not answer Lu Weibin's question, but said to Tang Yan:
"Master Tang, can your Jinna ointment really fight against miasma?"
Tang Yan replied: "It is absolutely true. I have personally witnessed several crew members infected by miasma getting better immediately after taking the Jinna ointment."
"it is good!"
Rand then said to Lu Weibin: "Lord Lu, can you teach my soldiers the artillery elements?"
Lu Weibin thought for a moment and said, "Of course, but General, it would be better for you to let soldiers with a basic understanding of mathematics learn it."
Rand nodded. There were sons of merchants in his army, and they all knew something about arithmetic.
Next, Rand stayed in Xiangjiang and refused to leave.
Not only that, Rand also began recruiting soldiers in Guangdong and Guangxi regions.
Lu Weibin, the transport commissioner of Shennan, also stayed in Xiangjiang River without moving.
One of them collected grain, and the other recruited soldiers, which caused complaints from officials in the Lingnan region.
Memorials flew towards Kyoto like snowflakes.
It is said that Rand deliberately stayed in Xiangjiang River and refused to leave because he was afraid of death.
Others say that Lu Weibin exploited the people in Lingnan.
There are also reports that the two of them are in cahoots with each other.
In short, I am very dissatisfied with the two of them.
The memorials were flown to Kyoto. The cabinet certainly did not dare to slack off on such important memorials on the front line, and all of them were sent to Li Tian's desk.
