"At this time, Tamna no longer had an independent country. As early as the fourth year of Xining, Goryeo abolished the title of Tamna Kingdom and changed it to Tamna County. Finally, it annexed this vassal state that paid tribute every year. However,

The King of Goryeo still rules as the original star master." Zhang Zhengdao introduced the situation of Tamna Island.

Wen Huanzhang was familiar with history books and recalled: "When Emperor Shenzong was in power, it was recorded in the "New Book of Tang·Liu Gui Zhuan" compiled by Ouyang Xiu that the population of Tamluo country was only ten thousand households, and the country was small and weak, so it was naturally unable to resist Goryeo.

."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "The Lord of Tamluo Star, who has always been the only one to dominate a country, must be unwilling to accept the title of his country now. He must be secretly accumulating strength to resist the rule of Goryeo."

Wen Huanzhang clapped his hands and said: "The village leader wants to help the Lord of Tamluo Star recover his country?"

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "As expected, the military advisor knows me. When the time comes, I will detach three thousand combatable soldiers from Liangshan. Under the guise of the Song Dynasty court, I will secretly contact the Lord of Tamluo Star to help him restore his country and occupy the territory first."

Find a port on the island, and then slowly map it out."

Wen Huanzhang analyzed: "If we can control the star master, occupy the magpie's nest, and not be discovered by Goryeo, we in Liangshan will move some people from the Song Dynasty to the island and develop secretly. When the wings are full, even if Goryeo sends

While the army is marching across the sea to conquer, we can also defend by taking advantage of the danger and wait for the hard work in leisure."

Zhang Zhengdao laughed and said: "Just like the Jeju Prefecture at the moment, it is dispatching troops to attack Liangshan, but they have to cross these 800 miles of water first!"

Wen Huanzhang also laughed along with him.

After the two discussed in detail, they decided on a strategy, and then Zhang Zhengdao ordered the people up and down Liangshan to prepare their horses and troops to fight against the Jeju army!

In just one day, Bian Xiang selected 250 good men who were proficient in riding and archery from the two infantry armies of Attacking Mountain and Hanshan, formed a flying cavalry army, and took them to the flat ground in front of the three passes to practice.
Zhang Zhengdao saw that this flat land occupies a very large area, so he ordered Song Wanyin to lead the construction team, build a fence, and build some houses and stables. He named it Shannan Dry Village and used it as a garrison for the flying cavalry army.
The built Shannan Dry Village, the Southeast Water Village and the Southwest Water Village are connected to form a barrier in front of Sanchong Mountain Pass to protect the Liangshan Dazhai.

He also ordered the Hanshan Army and the Pinghai Army to practice together to eliminate some seasick landlubbers. The two armies cooperated with each other to prepare for sending troops to attack Tamna Island.

At the same time, Zhu Gui and Zhu Fu were ordered to increase their efforts to publicize the name of Liangshan's benevolence and righteousness, and to attract people from the surrounding countryside to come to the mountain.

Fortunately, at this time, the Xicheng Kuotian Office also helped a lot. They had previously occupied many civilian fields in Yunzhou and Jezhou. These landless people were unable to survive. I heard that Shuibo Liangshan was recruiting people, as long as they could breathe, regardless of the old, weak or sick.

I want them all.

For a time, the Dongshan Hotel and Xishan Hotel were overcrowded by the proletarian people who wanted to live a peaceful life with their families, the old and the young.

Among the people who went up the mountain, except for the strong men who were willing to serve as soldiers and eat food, Zhang Zhengdao arranged for the rest of the people to be unified in the back mountain.

Wang Lun, the leader in charge of the warehouse, was heartbroken when he saw the food consumed every day. Fortunately, the village leader allocated another 50,000 yuan to buy food, which comforted him a little.

It was already winter, and money and food had to be wasted to feed these people, but Zhang Zhengdao didn't look sad, instead he was just ecstatic.

After Tamna Island is captured in March next year, these people will be the people under his rule. They can cultivate fields and pay for food, herd horses and raise troops, and reproduce children, providing Liangshan with a steady stream of new troops.

These people who came up the mountain also reciprocated the favor and helped the village by doing whatever they could.

In addition, Zhang Zhengdao established a school, where Wen Huanzhang and Wang Lun taught young children in the village to read and write every day in their spare time.

Young children, regardless of gender, can enroll in school.

Just two days after the school opened, Zhang Zhengdao saw that few girls came to study and learn to read. After asking about it privately, he shook his head and smiled bitterly. Unexpectedly, the common people at this time thought that it was useless for women to study.

Zhang Zhengdao had no choice but to set up a separate girls' school, forcing all girls to attend school. He also selected two literate women from the family members of the village to teach in the girls' school alone.

With the assistance of Wen Huanzhang and others, the village developed rapidly and in an orderly manner, with an increasing number of people.

After more than ten days of this, the exact news that General Zhu Fu had spied on Jeju City came, making everyone heave a sigh of relief.

It turns out that the governor of Jeju did indeed intend to send troops to attack Liangshan. There were so many bandits under his rule and they occupied the 800-mile water park under the name of Kuotian in the palace. If the officials in Bianliang City knew about it, his official career would be

, I’m afraid it’s going to end.

The governor of Jeju was anxious and had trouble sleeping and eating. Regardless of the dissuasion of his subordinates, he insisted on dispatching troops and gathering warships, preparing to completely wipe out the bandits entrenched in Liangshan before winter.

However, it took a lot of money and food to mobilize two thousand combat-ready soldiers. But as the weather became increasingly cold, the morale of these officers and soldiers was completely lost.

The governor of Jeju had no choice but to postpone sending troops to suppress the bandits.

After all the hard work, there were complaints from everyone above and below, but some people were glad that they didn't have to fight the Liangshan grass bandits in the cold winter.

What's more, he admonished the Yin of Jeju Prefecture: "The grass bandits in Shuibo have never gone down the mountain to plunder. If we want to send troops to conquer them, it will cost a lot of money and the gain will not be worth the loss. It is better to report to the court and ask the officials to issue an edict to kill the bandits on the mountain."

The imperial edict was issued to stabilize the place."

The governor of Jeju thought about it for many days, but was still undecided, so he postponed the matter again and again.

In Liangshan Dazhai, no matter what the Jeju government did, they were training soldiers and horses and repairing weapons all day long.

Especially the four sea-going ships bought from Banqiao, Mizhou, entered the Liangshan berth from the Beiqing River, and docked at the southeast water village pier, and people all up and down the Liangshan Mountain were filled with joy.

Zhang Zhengdao looked at the thousand-material ship in front of him and said with emotion: "He is really the overlord of the sea!"

Ruan Xiaoer smiled and said: "Zhai Master, this is still a small sea ship. I heard the boatman said that there are many large ships anchored in Mingzhou."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "It won't take long before we in Liangshan will also have ships with thousands of materials and sail across the world!"

Everyone boarded the ship and looked around inside and outside, and they were all amazed.

In this era, shipbuilding technology was developed, and there was already "watertight compartment" technology, which was separated one by one by solid wooden boards at the bottom of the ship. Each compartment was an independent space and did not interfere with each other. Even if water entered one compartment

, and still ensure that other compartments are safe, the big ship will naturally be relatively safe.

After visiting the four ships, Zhang Zhengdao ordered: "Tomorrow, the Pinghai Navy will first practice in the water moorings. After getting familiar with it, they will go to sea from Beiqing River and practice offshore."

Boating on the sea is no better than anchoring in the water. If you are not careful, the boat will be destroyed and people will die.

Zhang Zhengdao did not hope that the little wealth Liangshan had managed to accumulate would be ruined in an accident at sea due to insufficient preparations.

Ruan Xiaoer looked serious and said: "Master, don't worry, our Pinghai Navy will definitely train this ship skillfully."

"Second brother, this trip to sea is a major event in Liangshan. The future success of the cottage will all depend on your navy." Zhang Zhengdao patted the man on the shoulder.
