Chapter 5086: Conquer the "Witch Clan"


Chapter 5086: Conquering the "Witch Clan"

When Yang Zhou and Xi Junmai saw Zhang Liang being indignant and making a fuss, they were speechless.

The island where the "Witch Clan" is located is quite large, so they naturally knew it. Now they also understood Zhang Liang's intention. This Duke of Yun was doing nothing on Luzon Island all day long, a little unwilling to be lonely, thinking about expanding territory and making unparalleled achievements...

But this is contrary to the strategy of the navy.

After all, the other party's official position, status and qualifications are far better than his. Although he was dissatisfied, he also patiently explained: "The Duke of the State does not know that since the island was drawn on the sea chart, it means that the navy has known it very well. The reason why he has never sent a caravan to it is that the sea area is densely covered with islands and waterways, and there are many tribes on the island, which are constantly attacking each other. Even if the navy intervenes, it may not be able to calm the dispute. A chaotic and war-like island is not worthy of the navy's heavy troops."

Speaking of this, he raised his head, looked at Zhang Liang, and slowly said, "The most important thing is that the navy does not allow massacre."

How to calm the chaos in a certain area?

It is difficult to say, but it is simple and simple. Kill all the disobedient ones, and the rest will naturally be obedient...

But this is seriously contrary to the consistent strategy of the navy.

Zhang Liang said decisively: "What your navy allows or does not allow has nothing to do with me. I only know that the subordinates who have followed me for many years are in danger, and I must go and save them."

He stared at Yang Zhou and said word by word: "At any cost!"

Yang Zhou looked at him, and after a moment, his attitude relaxed: "But the last time we will inform the Duke of Guo in advance that the Navy will not send a soldier, a ship, a gun, and will not provide any reinforcements to the Duke of Guo. The Duke of Guo will bear all the consequences."

Xi Junmai next to him frowned, wanted to speak but stopped.

Zhang Liang's face suddenly turned kind and laughed: "General Yang speaks quickly and dares to act and take responsibility. I have received this favor from Zhang Liang, and I will definitely repay you in the future!"

...

Back in the naval barracks, Xi Junmai asked in confusion: "The first day of the great general's establishment of the Royal Navy, he wrote the 'No Massacre' at the top of the military discipline. Now that Zhang Liang knew the crime, the general not only refused to stop him, but indulged him. I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate?"

Yang Zhou asked him to sit down and ordered the personal soldiers outside the door, "Quickly go and clean up a few side dishes, get a pot of wine, and I will drink two drinks with General Xi and fill my stomach."

When the personal soldiers left quickly, he turned to complain to Xi Junmai, "Zhang Liang is the Duke of the State and the Governor of the State, but he searched very hard. We both came to visit but didn't even leave a meal. It was really rude."

Xi Junmai said nothing and only looked at him.

When Yang Zhou saw that there was no one outside the door, he whispered to Xi Jun: "The military discipline is indeed like this. We obey the commander and do not dare to violate the military discipline. But in fact, is there a small amount of massacre? You have never killed, and I have never killed them, but do you really don't know how many lieutenants and soldiers below have killed over the years?"

Xi Jun was silent.

The military discipline is like this, and the navy can understand it. After all, the task of the Tang Dynasty's navy is to escort the merchant ships, trade with all countries and tribes in the world, and earn all wealth into the Tang Dynasty in the form of trade.

However, soldiers are responsible for conquest and attack. No matter how military discipline is constrained, how can they not have the aura of killing?

It's okay when it's in the country or the frontier. Under the nose of the commander, even the arrogant soldiers must have some concerns. But above this ocean, thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty, no matter how many troops are, they will be dispersed. In many cases, only one brigade, even a regiment, or a team are carried out. A lieutenant can decide whether to fight or retreat when an emergency occurs.

In the mood, the captain and his soldiers faced each other day and night, which were robes and brothers and so on. Once a soldier was injured or abused by the natives, how could he sit and watch?

In theory, if soldiers are abused but do not take revenge, who will fear the power of the Tang Dynasty?

Even if I feel unwilling and care about military discipline, if I do not take revenge, the hearts of future generations will disperse. How can I lead the team?

So most of the time when encountering emergencies, the Tang army never retreated.

An attack means massacre...

This is something that cannot be forbidden.

After hesitating for a while, Xi Junbu said, "But this kind of thing can only be acquiesced, how can it appear openly?"

Yang Zhou said, "Who allows this kind of thing to appear openly? Is it you or me? Zhang Liang is the Duke of Yun and the Governor of Luzon. What do he want to do? Do you and I firmly oppose him and then quit? He will do it himself, and we will just report to the governor. Zhang Liang will bear any consequences. What should we do?"

Xi Junbu is a little depressed. He admits that Yang Zhou's words make sense, but he is still awkward.

After all, "No massacre is allowed" is the commander's military order, but now the navy is trampling on the commander's military order...

Yang Zhou patted his shoulder and said earnestly: "No one from the navy dares to disobey the military discipline established by the commander, but everyone is seeking profit. When interests are related, it is rare to be able to abide by the original intention, strictly abide by military discipline, and use others to achieve their own interests."

Xi Junmai sighed, he knew that Yang Zhou's words made sense.

Why do all those who go overseas abide by the military disciplines set by the commander? This is because of the authority of the general, and more because these military disciplines protect the interests of the vast majority of people.

When military discipline is contrary to personal interests, I think of disobeying military discipline.

As maritime trade becomes more and more prosperous, and more and more explored islands and lands, everyone's hearts are becoming more and more impetuous.

After all, "expanding territory" has always been alongside "sealing wolf servants", which can be regarded as the obsession in the hearts of Chinese men...

Ambitions began to grow, and the military discipline that originally protected oneself began to become a framework that bound oneself, thinking about how to break free and how to break.

Zhang Liang is the first one, but he will never be the last one. "Also, a massacre can also effectively shock people's hearts. If you despise the little barbarians who fear power but do not have virtue and do not see blood, how can you be willing to crawl at the feet of the Tang Dynasty?"

Although the country is big, it will perish if it is warlike.

Same goes for an army.

However, if a necessary small-scale war can shock people and avoid larger-scale wars, and there are people who are willing to take responsibility...why not do it?

Xi Jun nodded and agreed, but said, "This matter must be detailed and reported to the Grand Governor."

Yang Zhou nodded: "It should be so, but don't worry, the Grand Governor must agree with me."

Xi Junmai was worried: "I hope this is the case."

*****

The Tang people were always proud. All other races in the world were regarded as "barbarians". All countries except the Tang Dynasty were regarded as "foreign countries". They claimed that they were in the Supreme Kingdom and China. They naturally had to act openly and uprightly, and they also had to be famous in the battles. They were regarded as despised by "unleashed without teaching".

So the next morning, Zhang Liang asked Cheng Gongying to write a document and ordered people to send it to the patriarch of the "Witch Clan". The document was angrily scolded the despicable behavior of the "Witch Clan", and was extremely angry at his daring to offend the Tang Tianwei and ordered him to release the soldiers of the abducted Tang army, otherwise the Tianwei would be all over the powder!

The messenger traveled through the sea on a large ship and sent back the message within a few days.

The "Witch Clan" naturally cannot release the so-called kidnapped soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. They can't go out to capture one and then hand it over to Zhang Liang, right?

However, the reply letter was very cautious, explaining that there was no kidnapping, and the "Witch Clan" had always admired the Tang Dynasty and was willing to trade with the Tang Dynasty and have a good time.

Zhang Liang was already well prepared, so he naturally scoffed at the reply of the "Witch Clan", peeled the messengers of the "Witch Clan" and hung them on the flagpole to shock the natives of Luzon Island. Then he ordered five hundred armed soldiers under his command to board the merchant ship under the leadership of several adopted sons. He leaned on the guide to point out the route. More than ten merchant ships set sail from Lingayan Bay, heading south along the coastline on the west side of Luzon Island, embarking on the road of conquest.

I don't know how the "Witch Clan" is, but the indigenous people on Luzon have been shocked.

Although the Tang people had fought with the indigenous people when they first came, there was no large-scale military attack, and not many indigenous people died. One was afraid of the strength of the Tang people, and the other was that trade could give the chiefs a better enjoyment. Only then did they rent ports and land to trade with the Tang Dynasty.

However, as Tang people came to Luzon to open schools and teach Confucian classics on a large scale, the indigenous people had an illusion that the Tang people certainly represented the highest civilization in the world, benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, and strength, but at the same time they were kind.

In the eyes of the natives, the word kindness is equivalent to weakness.

Having the most powerful weapon in the world, but he is full of benevolence, righteousness, and loves the world. Various laws and regulations restrict soldiers from killing and killing...

So the natives were not very afraid of the Tang people, because they knew that they were honest and obedient on the surface, which made the Tang people "deeply known" and would not do anything to them.

But now the Luzon general's style of doing something horrible.

The so-called "kidnapping Tang army soldiers and extorting money" is impossible. Did the "witch clan" take advantage of the courage of ambitions and dare to kidnap Tang army soldiers and even come to blackmail? !

All fools know that it is an excuse.

But it was this style of "no refusal to add a crime" that made the chiefs tremble and tremble, because they suddenly discovered that the Tang people sometimes did not follow the rules...

Several chiefs gathered together in private and found that everyone was afraid of it after exchanging opinions. No one knew whether the Tang people would use such methods on them. They were honest on the surface, but they had done a lot of tricks from the Tang people. What if the Tang people were dissatisfied and wanted to kill one to warn them?

It's hard to defend.

After discussing, everyone came to the port of Lingayan Bay, waiting at the pier outside the navy ship, and asked the apprentice to buy it.

Xi Jun bought these people to the ship. The chiefs were shocked by stepping on the deck by the springboard. This was the first time that the natives stepped onto the Tang people's ship. It was fine when they stood on the shore and looked away. At this moment, they were in the scene and felt the majesty and solidity of the ship, and their awe were even more intense.
