"The environment is suitable, the area is not large, and it is still an island. It is the most suitable place for training before moving south. There are many islands around the South China Sea." Sima Ji cleaned up the letters on the table and said leisurely, "In essence, the purpose of the southern expedition is to provide more household registrations because the population will increase, so it is necessary to provide land for more household registrations. As for why it should be as soon as possible, this thing should not be later. You are born in Youzhou and you should have seen the development of the Xianbei with your own eyes. Don't think that the barbarians around you will always do this. Sooner or later, they will be similar to us. Even if we don't teach, they will learn it by themselves after a long time."

"Now to the Great Wall, there is nothing but grass. The number of Hu people is limited after all, let alone the tens of millions of people who carry our Jin Dynasty. To be honest, this is the use of the knife-barbarians to find the land, and I have nothing to hide from. The stability of the Jin Dynasty must ensure the same culture, the same language, and the same appearance. It may be because of the vast territory, and the bottom line must be at least 90%. At present, I have already made a fuss about the barbarians in Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and the Hu people north of the Great Wall. Even the people of the Funan Kingdom have admitted that they are all people within the territory of the empire. This number cannot be increased, do you understand?"

Sima Ji naturally wanted to learn from the island countries of Japan and turn the whole country into a nation. However, the geographical environment was different. A mainland country like China, which is not a closed environment with seas all over the world, and it is likely that it will not succeed. But if it is not successful, it is necessary to work hard. The Great Jin Law was promulgated to eliminate all kinds of criminals, but you cannot even ignore it.

"The southward advance is not to spread the national education. I never think that I, the Great Jin Dynasty, are qualified to educate anyone. In fact, it is to kill people and seize the land. The barbarians in the territory can turn a blind eye due to the limitations of national conditions. Are these outside?" Sima Ji looked at Cao Qian and said softly, "You can only understand it but not express it in words, just understand it."

The essence of the southern expedition is the same as the imperial and Russian advance eastward, the US advance westward, and the Qing Dynasty's whale-swallowing Mongolian Khanate. Sima Ji would definitely be lying if he said that he had spread civilization in the past. This time he was too lazy to find excuses to mobilize. If it were ten years ago, maybe he might have dispersed the demon stars in the south, which would have been detrimental to our great Jin Dynasty.

Now he no longer has to look at anyone's face. He is too lazy to pretend to behave, and even when talking to others, he is becoming more and more realistic. This effect is very good. The entire royal family thinks it is necessary to go out and kill people and seize geography.

"The last general... understand!" Cao Qian opened his mouth and finally nodded, "Since that's the case, the last general will select elite soldiers and board the Yizhou, and set an example for the entire army before advancing south."

"No need to say that it is so serious. Thinking about Sun Quan doing this, is he feeling much more comfortable?" Sima Ji smiled and comforted his confidant and beloved general. When did the Yizhou place be China? It should be that when Zheng Chenggong officially appeared on the island.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Yizhou had nothing to do with China. Sun Quan sent troops to the island to put it bluntly. Even the melee at the end of the Han Dynasty had already defeated the forces participating in the war. Sun Quan sent people to plunder the population and farm for the war.

The reason why he sent tens of thousands of elite troops to sea was to plunder overseas population. Compared with Wei, the population gap was too large. If he could take root in Yizhou, he could make Eastern Wu an invincible place. After Qin pacified the land of Bashu, he established a stable rear for himself; Sun Quan was also planning to draw a picture of the cat and further strengthen the strength of Wu.

However, that trip to sea was not successful. The unacceptable environment caused many soldiers in the Wu Kingdom to die of illness. Finally, with the natives brought back, they could at most be considered as neither profit nor loss, and the general who led the troops was later killed by Sun Quan.

Because this purpose is not very noble, the later generations of Sun Quan sent troops to Yizhou was dealt with in a textbook and no longer mentioned. Just like the Qing Dynasty destroyed Junggar, a war of destroying the country turned into a rebellion and rebellion of the small tribe.

Since Yizhou was selected as the drill before the Southern Expedition, Sima Ji and Cao Gan deduced how to start the war. The biggest difficulty in the Southern Expedition lies in the environment, so the people of the Central Plains must go to war, but they must bring enough soldiers from Jiangnan. The soldiers in Jiangnan suffered less than those in the Central Plains.

Later generations said that the climate in Jiangnan was warm and the mountains and rivers were good. However, Sima Ji's trip to Jiangnan for a year in his previous life could only say that he was in a mess when he returned home, and he had encountered it himself if he was not accommodating the environment. Naturally, he knew the difficulties.

"The rebellion in Jiangnan is naturally put on the agenda. People with the worst living environment should join the army. If they can recruit barbarians, they should recruit barbarians. The recruitment of soldiers in the Central Plains should strive for excellence and the best physical elites. Both types of people must be required. Once the recruitment is completed, they should be adapted to the island immediately. I think that camping near the seaside first should be adapted to everything. As for hygiene and defense of various malaria, our Youzhou soldiers have this tradition. We must never hide private matters and promote the entire army."

Judging from what Sima Ji said, it is actually very dangerous. Once the Nanzheng announced, the most supportive forces will not have anyone except the royal family. After all, the royal family kings have interests, and for other classes, the interests and risks are proportional.

Fortunately, there was still a strongest force in the Jin Dynasty supporting him. Sima Ji was glad that the Jin Dynasty had a feudal system, which forced the royal family to find a place to become their fiefdom in the future.

If this was a dynasty after the Song Dynasty, the civil officials of the court would definitely not support it, because these officials would not support the war to the outside world. The Qing Dynasty Qianlong was able to make trouble because they had the Eight Banners Army as the basic foundation. Civil officials opposed others who could still start the war by putting aside you and commanding the Eight Banners Army.

The royal families of these dynasties have no rights, and civil servants are the biggest force, and no one can do anything to oppose others. But I, the Jin Dynasty, have different clans. All the royal families have rights. If civil servants dare to oppose, the royal family will support the King of Yan to replace civil servants. No matter if you are from a gentry or a poor family, you can get out if you can't do it.

Cao Gan took the order and left, while Sima Ji was still deducing the situation of the Southern Expedition. From the Tang Dynasty to the war between Nanzhao, to the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the more I thought about it, the more I felt like I was getting more and more confused, and there seemed to be no positive examples of war. Even an emperor like Qianlong, who felt good about himself, was defeated by the local environment. You should know that before the war, Qianlong wanted to establish a province in Myanmar, and Qianlong had just begun to destroy the country in the Qing and Myanmar War. As a result, he became helping Thailand restore the country.

This misunderstanding plagued Sima Ji for a long time, but later he realized that the times were different. Southeast Asia is now a tribe at best, not a confrontation between countries and countries at the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. In this era, my Great Jin Dynasty had a greater advantage over the world than the US empire in the 21st century. What should I worry about? As long as I can sacrifice my life and fill it in it, I will definitely succeed.
