Did that war in the Northwest make money? Yes, it did, and it made a lot of money. The property Liang Chuan brought back from Zheng Zuliang alone amounted to one million yuan.
After every battle, Liang Chuan's salary was several times higher than that of ordinary court soldiers.
That battle was a complete battle. If you win, you can say anything. If you lose, you can only ask someone to burn a little more paper money. That thing is more useful in the underworld.
But later on, most of the Tianxiong Army sergeants spent all their savings and all their family resources to move from the northwest to Xinghua to settle down!
The expenses on the road were too great, and many of them were hemorrhaged this time and it was not until Liang Chuan reorganized the Tianxiong Army that they could cheer up.
During the war, everyone was looking forward to another big fight. Seeing the money everywhere, they even wanted to rebel by themselves, but Liang Chuan refused!
Huang Jinshan and Chen Fugui first asked: "Everywhere is peaceful now, who are we going to fight?"
Except for the two of them, the current adult management team, like Luo Xian and others, are all junior and middle-level cadres. They are reliable and usable, but they are still not as stable as these two, and they can also manage a group of people under their command!
The Adult Management Team has gone through a new round of recruitment, and many people from the northwest have also joined the team. However, these people basically have to start as soldiers. If you want to be promoted to a team leader, you must have real skills!
Liang Chuan said: "Xia Dehai went out to sea a few days ago and discovered an island, and there were actually pirates stationed on it. I want to take this island this time, and we plan to set up our base camp there in the future!"
Island?
Everyone was stunned. They were all mountain people and Guanzhong children. For them, even riding a horse could be learned quickly, but water fighting could not be learned in a day or two.
In the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao had to connect the warships together because his sailors did not know how to fight underwater! Not to mention the group of people under Liang Chuan. Many of them fainted as soon as they got on the boat. Why did they lay eggs?
Liang Chuan scared everyone away with just one word. They were not afraid of fighting to the death, but there was no way to fight like this. Money was to be made, but lives were more important. He dragged them to the sea to fight. .
Song Youcai and others also expressed: "My boss, we are not afraid of war, but the brothers are all landlubbers from the north. How can they possibly engage in a water war? You may have to let Brother Xia Dehai take more care of this matter!"
"I know you don't know how to have a water fight, and neither do I, but what are we now? We are a scientific and technological force! We have something that others don't have. We need to change our thinking when fighting. We can no longer use the old routine!"
Under Liang Chuan, although the Tianxiong Army was powerful, they were never the protagonists!
Whether they admit it or not, in Liang Chuan's hands, the real trump card is the secretive Shenji Camp!
Liang Chuan didn't say anything old-fashioned. He seemed to have excluded the Chengguan Brigade and the Tianxiong Army, but they had to obey!
It is undeniable that the mandarin duck formation created by Liang Chuan for the Chengguan Brigade and the Tianxiong Army has no rivals, and it is difficult to even break the formation. However, the two troops are still as fragile as paper in front of the Shenji Battalion. After the round of volleys, no matter how strong the mandarin duck formation is, they will finish playing and get out!
Their current responsibility is more important to protect the Shenji Battalion, no longer to let them charge in the front line!
But this is the sea. .
"We can do whatever your boss arranged for us to do, but naval battles are really not our strong point. You can't let us go swimming..."

Liang Chuan smiled and said: "I know you are landlubbers. It would be better for me to go to the port to hire some laborers than to let you engage in a landing battle. Maybe they will be more useful than you!"
Liang Chuan's burst of teasing made the atmosphere at the scene relax a lot.
"I am now formulating a plan with Mr. Su, the military fighter. When the time comes, the Shenji Battalion will take the lead, but you will still be the main force. Whether you can make a difference or not, you have the final say!"
Hearing these words, the people in the two armies became excited!
Finally some meat to eat!
Liang Chuan glanced at the crowd and said: "This is a sea battle. The fighting method is different from any previous battles, but the decisive battle will definitely be on the island! We will not give these pirates any chance to fight at sea. You all get ready and bring all the team members to the port. I will gradually equip the brothers with various weapons and equipment in the next few days!"
"As you command!"
The battle was underway, and instead of solemn expressions on everyone's faces, they actually had expressions of impatience. Liang Chuan was speechless when he saw it.
Little Celestial Master Zhang Jixian walked up to Liang Chuan and asked, "Are you planning to ask me to pray for thunder to destroy these evil spirits again?"
Liang Chuan patted the little Heavenly Master: "We are teachers of justice, so naturally we must have a person with a righteous image as our representative. Longhu Mountain is a famous sect of righteousness, so it is perfect to set an example!"
"Then I will take action again to defend the right path!"
good! Liang Chuan couldn't help but be infected by the little Tianshi's righteousness, and he clapped his hands and applauded repeatedly. This is professionalism, and you can bluff people without blushing!
The Little Heavenly Master said: "I recently asked the blacksmith to help me improve the palm thunder, so I can try out its power!"
Liang Chuan's eyes lit up and he said: "Really? This is great. Let me give it a try when the fight starts! If it's easy to use, give it to the brothers. How about we all work together to eliminate demons and defend the Tao?"
The Little Heavenly Master rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you think my thunder method from Longhu Mountain is just cabbage on the street, given to anyone who wants it?"
Liang Chuan didn't respond to him and smiled in his heart. If you don't give it to me then I'll grab it. You can't enjoy this kind of good thing by yourself!
After everyone left, Liang Chuan formally began to learn from Su Wei.
Su Wei, an old boy, was even more restless than Liang Chuan. He was full of bellicosity in his bones. He could look forward to a fight every day when he went to bed.
The battle in the northwest was fought with great vigor, but no results were achieved! What Su Wei wants is to be famous like Le Yi Wuhou, so why not settle for being unknown!
The two of them sat, Su Wei didn't say a word all day, his mind was full of ideas.
Think about how to conquer this island!
Liang Chuan made a cup of tea, but Su Wei was not thinking at all.
"How can we fight this battle, Lao Wei? I have never fought in a naval battle!"
Su Wei stood up and looked at the calm river outside, not knowing whether he really heard it or not!
Liang Chuan didn't look at Su Wei as if he was just faking it. This old boy was so full of bad things, why didn't he say it out loud?
Back in the northwest, if he hadn't designed to alienate Zheng Zuliang first, Li Yuanhao would have been able to do it so easily. Even an incredible talent like Zhang Yuan would have been beaten to death by him!
How could a few pirates stand in front of the window and be speechless to Yin Ning?
After a long time, Su Wei asked with a serious face: "My boss, what do you think?"
One sentence stopped Liang Chuan: "What do you think?"
"Conquering those islands was easy.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Palm, but these islands are not the imperial land of the Zhao family and are not under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty. What does the owner want to do? "
Liang Chuan stood up and walked to Su Wei's side. An old man and a young man stood together.
The long river is crossed by thousands of sails.
"Look at this prosperous age. Nowadays, everyone enjoys peace and has no worries about food and clothing. However, this scene will disappear within a hundred years!"
Su Wei was shocked: "How could my boss make such an assertion? Throughout the past thousands of years, there has never been such a prosperous era as today! The Song Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous, the Li family in the northwest is at the end of its power, the Khitan in the north is in a state of decline, and Dali in the southwest After being attached to the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years, the Song Dynasty is already standing proudly in the world, so how can it still be in defeat?"
Liang Chuan snorted and said: "If all the kings were as enlightened as Taizu Taizong and the current officials, then it would be normal for the prosperous age to continue. Look at Li Tang, from the rule of Zhenguan to the Anshi Rebellion, it only took a few dozen years. After a few years, the foundation built for hundreds of years has been completely ruined! The powerful enemies around the Song Dynasty have not been eliminated, and more powerful enemies have appeared in the north!"
"Is there a stronger enemy in the north? Could it be the Huns?"
"The Xiongnu have been annihilated in the long river of history. Even if they come back, they will not be able to make any big waves with their system. There are many nomadic people in the north. The people who raise horses have been stronger than us Han people since they were young. They are even stronger than cattle and horses. , a climate will be formed soon! It’s just that the times have not yet allowed their heroes to appear. When the time comes, the colorful world of the Song Dynasty will not be preserved!"
What Liang Chuan saw has always been a mystery to Su Wei, a well-read man. He didn't know that Liang Chuan stayed by his side all day long, neither reading nor hanging out. How could he know so many secrets, and Liang Chuan's judgment? Extremely accurate, he got it right without exception!
This is probably how Wuhou Lu Xun and his like were able to dominate the world without leaving home!
This judgment about the north has been made as early as the Tang Dynasty!
Starting from the Sui Dynasty, why did successive kings go to conquer Goryeo and conquer the black land in the Northeast despite the risk of instability in the rear and people's livelihood? Because from that time on, everyone believed that the nomadic people born in this fertile land and rich in resources were the biggest enemies of the farming culture of the Central Plains!
Yang Guang beat, Yang Guang beat Li Shimin, and after Li Shimin beat Li Zhi, he continued to beat! Why did nomads start to rise again in the fifth generation? It’s because these places are out of control again!
Liang Chuan's conclusion Su Wei found recognition in the clues of history. Liang Chuan was right. The north is now out of control, and the Khitan's defeat has become apparent. Either the Song Dynasty will replace it or other nomads will take advantage of it!
But what does this have to do with Liang Chuan going to attack those islands?
"This has to do with..."
"A hundred years from now, you and I may not be here anymore, or even this situation won't last a hundred years, but our descendants will still be there at that time. If we have the opportunity to open up a peaceful place and preserve our cultural heritage, do you think it's worth it?" Ancestors?"
"How do you know that the Song Dynasty will be defeated?"
This question is very skinny!
Su Wei asked another rhetorical question. He wanted to know Liang Chuan's basis and why Liang Chuan was so analytical. The two of them were discussing and learning from each other at the moment!
Liang Chuan has an overall view and a two-sided view that his predecessors did not have. He will not look at problems from his own perspective. He will look at problems from the enemy's perspective. Is this the dialectic that Liang Chuan has been talking about?
