Yuzhou Island, also known as Tianheng Island, is located on the East Sea of ​​Haizhou, and it travels hundreds of miles around. The Tang Dynasty defeated Donghai County on Yuzhou Island. It is one of the four counties of Haizhou in Taining Army. Qingdao Port, at the southern end of the town [***], is 500 miles away from Yuzhou Island. It can be reached by boat for one night.

The location of Yuzhou Island is also very important, especially for the town [***], which is even more important. When Yuzhou Island lands west, it is Haizhou, and not far west, it is Yizhou. There is an important passage from the Huai Si area to Ziqing Town, the Yishu River Valley passage. Since ancient times, it has been the closest and most convenient and fastest passage from Huai Si to Ziqing.

Not far south of the coast is the entrance to the Huai River.

To the southwest, it is the intersection of the Yishu River Valley Channel and the Sishui River, which is the important town of Xia Pi. To the west is the important town of Xuzhou Pengcheng, Huaibei, and to the south is the important town of Sizhou, Linhuai.

Li Jing knew very well that if the town [***] occupied Donghai County, fundamentally, occupied this big island. The town [***] almost surveillanced the Taining Army and the Invasion Army. It has the ability to land in Haizhou at any time, cut off the Yishu Road, and at the critical moment, it can even go directly to Xia Pi in Sizhou, and have the ability to attack Pengcheng in Xuzhou in the west and Linhuai in Sizhou in the south.

Moreover, stationed on Yuzhou Island can also protect coastal business roads.

What made Li Jing most excited was that if the powerful naval army owned by the town was stationed on Yuzhou Island, even if the Taining army wanted to be unfavorable to the garrison on the island, they would cross the sea and become enemies with the town. This is a wonderful strategic area where you can attack and retreat.

As long as they have Yuzhou Island, Li Jing has almost hit a sharp sword on the backs of the Taining Army and the Invasion Army. Once they want to have any abnormal movements against the town, Li Jing can end them at any time and make their backs attacked.

The town [***] of course noticed such an important position in Yuzhou in the past. However, as a county in Haizhou, the Taining Army naturally would not hand over this important place to Li Jing easily. But now it is different. With Wang Wanjun's reminder, Li Jing immediately realized that Gao Pian's order actually gave Li Jing the best reason.

Li Jing organized a large army to go south from the sea to Yuzhou Island, and demanded ashore supply. With Li Jing's current status and reputation, coupled with Gao Pian's order, could the Taining Army still dare to stop it? Especially just now, a small mutiny occurred in the Taining Army. The Taining Army general Zike Rang secretly instructed his subordinates to mutiny and make money. As a result, Yang Zhizhi, the former Jingnan Jiedushi, who was in charge of Jiangling City, was the former Jingnan Jiedushi who had a large army but still lost Jiangling City when Wang Xianzhi attacked Jiangling City. He was so scared that he fled to the Eastern Capital. Zike Rang submitted a memorial to the court to ask for the resignation. The court had not yet concluded this matter.

At this critical moment, Li Jing believed that Zike would not dare to take the town [***] after letting this mutiny come to power.

What should I do if the town [***] is needed? As long as I station the first army on the island directly in the name of building a supply point, then in fact, this place will become Li Jing's actual control area.

When he thought of the effect of controlling this important island, Li Jing almost couldn't help but want to hug Wang Wanjun and kiss him hard.

However, among Wang Wanjun's strategy, what attracted Li Jing the most was not the Yuzhou Island Plan, but the Hu Douzhou Plan.

Hu Douzhou is the Nantong, Jiangsu in later generations. It is a sandbank formed by the silt silt from the estuary of the Yangtze River. Because there are many beans, namely broad beans, on the island, it is called Hu Douzhou.

Hudouzhou is larger than Yuzhou Island, eighty miles from east to west and thirty-five miles from north to south, and larger than ordinary counties. There are no counties and townships on this island, only some refugees who fish and cook salt here.

But the location of this island is more important. It is only 340 miles from Hudouzhou to the capital Yangzhou, the capital Yangzhou, which is located in Huainan Town. It is only 500 miles from Zhenhaidu envoy in Xizhexi.

As long as Li Jing sent a heavy army south in the name of Gao Pian's order, he then occupied this large island with a radius of hundreds of miles, stationed heavy troops on it, and had the guards of the [***] navy fleet. Even if he was staring at Gao Pian, Zhou Bao and the two famous generals did not have to worry too much.

Although he is far away from Dengzhou, Li Jing doesn’t have to worry about supply issues. Dengzhou has a large number of merchant ships, so it is enough to directly use merchant ships to replenish supplies.

Li Jing can imagine that there is such a large army stationed at the estuary of the Yangtze River and behind Gao Pian. You can imagine how Gao Pian felt. In this way, Li Jing can not only threaten Gao Pian at any time, but also protect his business interests at the estuary of the Yangtze River and the southeast coast, and several islands with one stone.

Li Jing shook his head and chuckled to Wang Wanjun, "How did you think of these?"

"In fact, it was not my plan alone." Wang Wanjun saw that although Li Jing glared at her a few times before, he became more and more happy when he looked at the note. He even couldn't help but slap the table in the middle, and showed his joy. He knew that Li Jing was actually quite happy about this plan. He felt a little worried, but he was not too content at this time, but he was a little more cautious.

Li Jing looked at her, then looked down at the memorial, "Let me guess, could Meghan and Julie also participate in this matter?"

Wang Wanjun nodded. Although she was smart, she was just a woman after all. She was close to Meghan, just to win over the two. Although these two were not very popular with the old lady, she was still able to be a general and command the fleet after becoming Li Jing's concubine. She knew that they were very popular with Li Jing. Anyway, they were Hu girls and were not afraid of them taking favor. Therefore, they were close to each other, and after a period of time, they sometimes talked about some military affairs. In fact, the main ideas of this strategy were all based on the hands of Meghan and Julie. Wang Wanjun just summarized it in the end.

When Li Jing heard this result, he just smiled faintly. He didn't like women participating in military and political affairs because everyone of his women had a family of great status behind them. For example, Wang Pu, Pei You, Zhang Rui, Xiao, etc., he was afraid that internal relatives and external ministers would eventually unite, affecting decision-making.

"I'll give you this jade pendant." Li Jing took off the jade pendant he had with him and gave it to Wang Wanjun, and then said seriously: "If you have some opinions on military and political affairs in the future, you can write it into a memorial and hand it over to me, but there are boundaries in things. I don't want you to figure it out."

Li Jing can take a proper step back and ask Wang Wanjun to write some comments and give some reference opinions, but he does not want her to participate in more matters.

After saying a few more words to Wang Wanjun, Li Jing took her note and went out and took the guards to the festival hall directly.

The meeting of the Tianlang Festival was originally a military meeting, but now it has become a meeting of senior officials in the town [***]. The civil and military officials of the sixteen states, the military leaders of each army, the principal of the martial arts lecture hall, the principal of the military academy, the chief of the Staff Department, the Knight Department, the Propaganda Department and other departments were all here.

The meeting attended by so many senior officials would have been an extremely important meeting.

Even when Wang Chong and Lin Wu and Li Jing's two brothers were secretly talking, they thought that Li Jing might have to give Tian Lingzi and Gao Pian a good look this time. They were even ready to rebel. For the two, no matter what decision Li Jing made, they would be supported by conditions.

However, after talking with Gai Yu and Li Zhen, and unexpectedly getting Wang Wanjun's comments, the meeting was actually not very meaningful.

Li Jing already had a suggestion in his mind about everything, and now he is just announcing his decision.

Li Jing first summoned the maritime envoy sent by the tax collector Hetian Lingzi, sent by Lu Xie, to the court, and then directly announced his decision to the two of them. First, for the court's plan to collect taxes, Li Jing's reply was to stop paying tribute to the emperor one million a month. However, at the same time, two million taxes of 2 million yuan will be paid in the court every year, plus two million yuan of salt, iron and tea tax. This year, one million yuan will be paid in the 114th month of **.

As for the tax collection of the ship envoy, Li Jing simply refused. Zhen [***] fought for Liaodong and western Liaoning for the court and regained the land of Andong, and did not ask the court for a penalties. According to convention, the military forces of the vassal states had food, and as long as they left the boundary, the court had to be responsible for supplying food and wages. Zhen [***] fought for several years, and the court never supplied the army, whether in Liaodong or Daibei. Therefore, the tax collection collected in Dengzhou sea trade was kept as the cost of supplying the army.

The eunuch sent by Lu Xie's envoy, Hotan Lingzi, wanted to say something, but Li Jing waved his hand directly, and immediately several golden-armored guards walked into the hall with swords and guns, dragging them down.

The envoy of Gao Pian saw this and fought with his legs.

But beyond his expectations, Li Jing did not reprimand him, nor even rejected Gao Pian's order.

Instead, he said a lot of words, saying that everyone is responsible for the suppression of bandits, and the town is responsible for the side loans, and then said that the town is not going to be the general to move troops south.

Not to mention what Li Jing said, Gao Pian's envoy was shocked, even the many civil and military officials in the hall were very surprised.

They couldn't understand why Li Jing accepted this transfer order. Li Jing was the prince of Andong, and his title and official position were above Gao Pian. Why did he accept Gao Pian's transfer order when he was fighting for Liaodong for the country?

Li Jing did not explain to the generals. Before the formal meeting, he only had time to talk about his plans with Li Zhen, Li Liang, Gai Yu, Jing Xiang, Guo Cheng'an, Lin Wei and others. Even the teachers Cui Yunqing and Li Jing had never told him.

Li Jing directly announced that he would transfer 2,000 people in the first fleet of the navy and 2,000 people in the second fleet of the navy. In addition, 8,000 Yanyun's army and 5,000 people in the selection of front-line troops, plus the Zhenyuan army, the Weiwu army, the Xiongwu army, and the Jingsai army, 20,000 people, a total of 37,000 people. The southeast camp was formed, with Pei You as the commander of the camp, Megan and Julie as the commander of the navy, Liu Xun as the commander of the camp, Guo Zhenshan and Hebei's commander of the cavalry and infantry. Wang Pu was the commander of the camp, Wang Zhen was the commander of the capital Yuhou, and Megan was also the commander of the march.

Li Jing transferred six troops and two naval fleets at a time to head south. It seems that Li Jing really wants to obey Gao Pian's orders to attack Huang Chao.

But after this series of appointments, Gao Pian's messenger inexplicably felt a sense of fear.

Before coming, no one thought Li Jing would accept this order that obviously insulted the qualifiers of Huainan.

But the more impossible things happen, the more they happen.

Li Jing not only accepted the order of transfer, but also did not send a few people to send him off. Instead, he actually sent out a large army, six armies and two naval fleets, and 37,000 troops. The fourth army in Hebei may not have much fame or combat effectiveness, but the Yanyun Army and the Selected Front Army, although these two armies are not aces in the town [***], they are also first-class troops. Guo Zhenshan and Liu Xun are both generals under Li Jing. Especially Pei You, who was sent to the south to pacify Wang Ying, but the town he led was [***].

If something goes wrong, it will be a monster!

Just above the Tianlang Festival, Gao Pian's messenger frowned and began to worry.

Everyone thought Li Jing would not send troops, but now Li Jing has sent troops and sent a real army.

The meeting at the Sirius Festival lasted less than an hour and it ended.

Li Jing's personal guard Zhao Jiang pulled his neck and shouted loudly: "Stand up"

The civil and military officials in the hall stood up together, stood up straight, and then raised their right hand to Li Jing and gave a salute to his left chest.

Li Jing also gave a serious tribute.

"After a meeting!" Zhao Jiang shouted loudly again!
Chapter completed!
