577 Resolving Bintan Island 1
Seeing that Cheng Buguo's affairs had been thoroughly studied, Guo Jia immediately continued: "Lord, Bintan Island was also taken down by Zhang Sha'er and Han Juzi, two of them led by two thousand soldiers. This is information!"
After hearing this, Lu Ning smiled slightly. The total population of Bintan Island is only 10,000 or 20,000. How could it be the opponent of Zhang Sha'er and Han Juzi? It is normal to take it down, but there will be a problem if you can't take it down. "Fengxiao, you'd better tell me, I won't watch it!"
Bintan Island is a very small island with a population of less than 20,000. At this stage, the concept of a country has not yet been formed. There are more than ten tribes on the island, and the small tribe has only a few hundred people. The largest tribe is the Jugu tribe, with a population of nearly 7,000. There are only more than 2,000 adult men in the Jugu tribe, which means that only an army of 2,000 people can be organized, and other small tribes can best organize an army of more than 1,000 people.
The geographical location of Bintan Island is very important. At the entrance of the Strait of Malacca, as long as you occupy this place, no ship can pass through the Strait of Malacca. And leading to Rest, Rome and other places must pass through the Strait of Malacca. It can be said that Bintan Island is a maritime fortress.
A few years ago, Lu Ning led a caravan to Fars Province, and reached an agreement with Jugu on the way to rent the coastal location of Bintan Island, and vigorously built a dock and fortifications on Bintan Island, and of course a huge commodity trading venue was also built.
After Zhang Sha'er and Han Juzi led 2,000 Marines to station on Bintan Island, they immediately started to build a dock and various fortifications. The construction of docks and fortifications requires a large amount of labor. Of course, it is impossible to send people from the Han Dynasty to build them, and migrant workers can only rely on local employment.
Building docks and fortifications on Bintan Island requires a large amount of labor, so with the help of Jugu's nephew A Guang, most of the adult men from various tribes on Bintan Island were called to work. The wages of migrant workers were extremely high, which was much higher than that of their growing domestic crops, especially using silk, ceramics, daily necessities, and grain to pay for them, which was a good thing they had never seen before.
With the help of A Guang, Zhang Sha'er and Han Juzi formed the ethnic groups who came to build the wharf and fortifications to hire engineers, gave them food, gave them silver, and distributed them silk products. They could support their families through their own labor and live a good life. Of course, the treatment of A Guang was treated specially, and the things given to A Guang were dozens of times that of others. A Guang also truly became Jugu, A Guang's slave and horseman, and wholeheartedly worked for Zhang Sha'er and Han Juzi.
With A Guang's efforts, nearly 5,000 employed engineers were recruited from more than a dozen tribes on Bintan Island. After a period of running-in, these employed engineers basically became chess pieces under Zhang Sha'er and Han Juzi, and were extremely loyal to Zhang Sha'er and Han Juzi. This was mainly a matter of interests. Of course, some people are willing to do it if there is no interests, and no one will care about it.
After several years of hard work, the wharf and various fortifications on Bintan Island were basically completed. At this time, the 5,000 employed engineers were basically assimilated and could be fully in their hands. Zhang Sha'er and Han Juzi promised them that after the construction of the wharf and other projects on Bintan Island would take them to other places to build projects. Of course, during this period, Zhang Sha'er and Han Juzi also conducted necessary military training for the 5,000 employed engineers to improve their military qualities so that they could pick up weapons and participate in the war.
Seeing that the wharf was almost built, Zhang Sha'er and Han Juzier strengthened their conspiracy against the leader Jugu through A Guang, and asked the leader of Jugu to send troops to attack other tribes. Originally, Jugu did not dare to do this, because Jugu had done such things over the years, but once Jugu sent troops, other small tribes would unite to deal with Jugu, and thus Jugu had not achieved his wish for many years.
Now Ju Gu heard that the officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty supported him to destroy those small tribes, and their hearts were full of joy. This was his wish for many years. Ju Gu is also an ambitious person. As long as he is given conditions and support, he will achieve his goals in his heart. This is also human nature, and they all hope that he will become stronger and richer.
Ju Gu heard that the officials of the Han Dynasty were willing to help him destroy other tribes on Bintan Island, so he immediately asked his nephew A Guang to invite Zhang Sha'er and Han Juzi to study, wanting to hear how the officials of the Han Dynasty were preparing to help him.
Zhang Sha'er and Han Juzi Er took the guards to Jugu tribe and went directly to Jugu's tent with A Guang. After Jugu saw the two, he was very happy. Although Jugu, Zhang Sha'er and Han Juzi were also very familiar with each other, they often drank and chatted together, especially Zhang Sha'er and Han Juzi often gave Jugu various gifts. But at this time, they wanted to send troops to help themselves. Of course, they were happy, and they were excited than giving him more things.
Ju Gu asked the maid to give him coffee, put fruits, and asked the maid to serve Zhang Sha'er and Han Juzi. Zhang Sha'er and Han Juzi were not polite, and immediately hugged the maid around him in their arms, wandering around the maid. The maids were all very beautiful, and their family clothes were very exposed. Most of the plump and round jade rabbits were exposed outside. The deep cleavage made Zhang Sha'er and Han Juzi's blood soar.
When Ju Gu saw Zhang Sha'er and Han Juzi, they were busy teasing their maids, and they didn't tell him about help. They were very angry and did not dare to vent. They had to smile and said with a smile on their faces: "General Zhang, General Han, how do you want to help me destroy those tribes? As long as you help me unify Bintan Island, I will meet any needs you have in the future."
After hearing Ju Gu's words, Zhang Sha'er put down the maid in her arms, looked up at Ju Gu, and then said slowly: "King, there are a large number of adult men working under our army in all tribes on Bintan Island. There are not many adult men in the tribe. Isn't this an opportunity? Can't the king handle it?"
After hearing this, Ju Gu knew this had been in his heart, but there were many adult men in his tribe working under your hands. Do I dare to let them come back now? That wouldn’t be to offend you. “General Zhang, there are many adult men in those small tribes under your hands, and their strength has also been reduced a lot, but I don’t have many adult men in my hands. Is General Zhang willing to let the adult men in my tribe return and obey my command?”
After hearing this, Zhang Sha'er laughed, you think beautifully. These people have been trained for a long time and are cannon fodder for our army. How could they be given to you? "King, that's not possible. My lord gave me the request to build the wharf as soon as possible and start the trade as soon as possible. If it's late, I will be engaged in military law. Of course, as for helping the king? That's what our army should do. Although our army cannot send troops or let the men of your tribe go back, our army can provide the king with necessary weapons and equipment. After the king has these excellent weapons and equipment of our army, can't he defeat those small tribes?"
Of course, the weapons and equipment mentioned by Zhang Sha'er are actually all equipment eliminated by Lu Ning's army. Although these weapons and equipment were eliminated by Lu Ning's army, these weapons and equipment are still excellent in the poor and backward place of Bintan Island, which is much better than the weapons and equipment they have.
Ju Gu was stunned after hearing this. He thought that the army of Zhang Sha'er and Han Juzi would help him send troops to fight, but now he heard that he was just giving some weapons and equipment, and he felt uneasy. It would definitely be impossible to deal with the ability of his own tribe. If it could be done, he would have sent troops long ago. Why not wait until now? "General Zhang, how much weapon and equipment will your army be going to give me? If it is too little, it will not play any role in my elimination of other tribes."
Zhang Sha'er smiled slightly, pinched the maid's breasts with her left hand, and her fair and plump breasts immediately deformed. "King, our army will give you five hundred best sabers, five hundred spears, and five hundred long bows. This way, you can basically equip your soldiers, and your soldiers' combat effectiveness will definitely improve. With these weapons and equipment, you should be able to deal with those small tribes with no means."
Ju Gu knew in his heart that these weapons and equipment were very good. If he had them, his strength would definitely increase. As for the fact that he could settle the more than ten tribes with these weapons and equipment, he was also unsure. "General Zhang, I am very grateful to your army for giving me so many excellent weapons and equipment, but the combined strength of the other ten tribes will exceed the strength of my subordinates. I dare not send troops easily. Once I can't deal with them in joint combat, my strength will be damaged."
After hearing this, Zhang Sha'er immediately looked furious and said seriously: "King Jugu, our army provides you with weapons and equipment to send troops to attack those small tribes. If you don't send troops, our army will not provide you with weapons and equipment. The king must figure out this problem. If the king has the weapons and equipment of our army, he still accomplishes nothing, what should the king use these weapons? After owning these weapons, the king does not even have the courage to send troops, which makes me very questioned."
Zhang Sha'er and Han Juzi knew very well that even if Ju Gu had this little weapon and equipment, it would not be possible to conquer more than ten other tribes. The purpose of Zhang Sha'er and Han Juzi was to make Ju Gu and other tribes lose their troops and generals, and then they could catch Ju Gu and other tribes in one place to reduce casualties.
Ju Gu was very angry when he saw Zhang Sha'er getting angry, but in order to get the weapons and equipment in Zhang Sha'er and Han Juzi, it was not easy to turn against each other, and he had to smile and say, "General Zhang, don't be angry, what should I say?"
Han Juzi, who had been teasing his maid next to him, glared at Ju Gu with his eyes and said, "King Ju Gu, our army is determined to help you, but your performance is average. Our army supports you with weapons and equipment so that you can unify Bintan Island as soon as possible, so that our cooperation will be better in the future. Our army does not want to see civil strife on Bintan Island in the future. The purpose of our army is to protect the Han merchants here and make money from the merchants, otherwise our army will do whatever we can come here from afar."
