1.66 The Elephant Army was first established

A short elephant is also called "dwarf elephant". Although it is a shorter elephant, it is still one meter tall. It can be ridden by one person.

Taming, train first and then raise. As long as you need to form an army, your combat power must not be underestimated. Especially when cavalry hedges, the war horses should be completely defeated. However, their speed is not as fast as the horses, and running is difficult to last for a long time, and they cannot be compared with war horses. In other words, you can charge and step on the camp, and you cannot rush to chase them.

Playing the strengths and avoiding weaknesses, attacking the strong and defending the weak is the way to soldiers.

The armored horse and riding equipment will be designed in the temple.

What's more, ivory tusks are long, can they be covered with iron?

Lingnan was hot and rainy. The war horses in the north were often caused by epidemics. Therefore, during this trip, King Ji only carried a small number of cavalry. The remaining 100,000 troops were all for infantry battles. The 100,000 troops were eaten and chewed by horses, and consumed excessively. The country of Ji was rich in the world, so it should not be wasted like this.

Sun Gan, the chief clerk of the disciple, entered the account and asked: Since there was no war, can 100,000 soldiers be sent back in batches?

King Ji said: Since it is used by the orphans, how can we be repatriated without reason?

The military advisor offered wine and played with a talented person. He heard the strings and songs and knew the elegant meaning: the lord wanted to follow the Western Regions and plan to build a coalition army.

King Ji nodded gently: Yes, the Xijiayi soldiers, the Yi soldiers, and the Japanese soldiers were all taken half of them, forming Lingnan and Japan, and the shogunate coalition forces. They were stationed in various places to find important places. They took boats to help overseas deserted continents, guarded the ten ports of the river. They shocked the little ones and threatened the barbarians outside.

Especially Xianglin Port, which guards the throat waterway. Just need to be built, it can connect Yizhou, Zhuyazhou, Chanzhou and other countries outside the southern part of the country. It also pushes the Ji Kingdom port for another three thousand miles. This is also the basis to trade with foreign countries. Many rare goods from the South China Sea can be traced to the Nanli and Nanlian Ports through this port, and then through the Dahuihuan Waterway, and continuously sell into the Han Dynasty. The profit is more than a hundred times.

It is just a convenience for business. Its military effect is particularly obvious.

After thinking a little, Guo Jia asked with a smile: Do you want to walk around Funan?

King Ji did not hide it: this is the intention.

"He helped the south to Linyi more than 3,000 miles west, and in the sea bay, the area is 3,000 miles wide, and there are cities and palaces. Everyone has ugly black fists and hair, and their bodies are swaying. They are straightforward in nature, not for robbers, and they focus on farming. They plant them one year, and get them at three years old. They are also good at carvings and carvings, and they are mostly made of silver, and they are given gold, silver and pearls. There is also a secretary's treasury, and their writings are similar to those of Hu. Funeral marriages are briefly the same as those of Linyi."

"The king was originally a woman, with the name Ye Liu. At that time, foreigners were chaotic, and they were in charge of the gods. They dreamed of the bow given by the gods, and they taught them to carry ships into the sea. Mianfadan went to the temple and got the bow. Then he followed the merchants to the outer town of Funan. Ye Liu led the people to defend him, and Mianfa raised the bow. Ye Liu was afraid and surrendered him. So Mianfa took him as his wife and occupied his country. Later, Yin declined and his descendants did not give up. His general Fan Xun returned to Funan. "

During the Han Dynasty, Funan also entered the dynasty to contribute. It had a very good relationship with the Han Dynasty.

If you know that King Ji is coming from afar, Fan Man, the King of Funan, will come out in person to greet each other and treat each other with courtesy.

A hundred thousand army can win in one battle. It is easy to defeat, but difficult to defend, and difficult to annex. King Ji does not need to be anxious. Nowadays, it is the middle of winter. The river is frozen thousands of miles away. The rice is harvested in the middle of the country. The people take advantage of this to find their own leisure, seek relatives and friends, and have a constant banquet. There is no major event or great trouble. In addition, the heroes of the country gather together, and there is a concubine, and the princess is under the curtain to supervise the country. King Ji is enough to be at ease. The administration of Ji is enough to be praised.

It is appropriate to raise troops in winter.

After receiving the order of King Ji, Zhou Hui, the commander of Shuiheng, who was stationed in Nanli Port, set sail and set off immediately. He went south to Xianglin in Haicheng.

It was smooth sailing and arrived in Linyipu within five days.

Under the command of the Shuiheng Duwei, nine officials and seven officials and chief officials, each perform their duties. They handled many of the previously slightly messy matters in an orderly manner. The golden sand flowed in Linyi, and the stones were cracked to produce gold. There were also many precious wood and minerals hidden in the jungle that needed to be identified and mined urgently. There was no hurry. First set up a harbor, then build Sichuan and Tianjin. It was said that it was traversing waterways and went deep into the jungle. It was transformed into people and organized households for the people. When the people who moved out were also settled, they could also become towns and forests.

Moreover, there was a commander of the Shuiheng Duke. I expected that the court appointed officials, but he did not dare to be corrupt and reckless.

The fleet of Shuiheng Duwei arrived, and King Ji was getting less and less trouble. He was in charge of the camp and focused on building the elephant soldiers.

Later, he went to Ye to transfer the country to the country to return safely. Ye to the country to the country also arrived with the ship. He presented the letter to the country and met King Ji.

It is said that the short elephants in the country are not as far away as those in Linyi. Why do you need King Ji to cross the sea to ask for it? I wish to offer one thousand short elephants to congratulate you?

King Ji was overjoyed.

I highly appreciate Ye and don’t mention the country’s envoy.

Ye Diao's envoy said that there were no large ships in the country and thousands of short elephants, so he still had to trouble King Ji and take them on a boat.

What's the difficulty?

The Henghai Fleet returned with Ye Dian Guo envoy and sold thousands of short elephants back.

Since it was the need of King Ji, Ye Diaoguo should do his best and do everything he gave. The short elephants he gave were all outstanding among the elephants. The elephant tamers have seen it. He said that he was good at domesticating and could be organized into an army.

In other words, a thousand short elephant cavalry were coming steadily towards King Ji.

Although the short elephant is slightly inferior to the elephant, it is better than riding alone.

In particular, it can save elephant carriages and only be equipped with elephant saddles. It can be compared to the horses that carry far-flying troops. It is the first choice for heavy cavalry.

As mentioned earlier, short elephants cannot run away from war horses. Light cavalry is useless, and attacking cities and camps is the way to win. You should forge short elephants and heavy cavalry. The so-called short and capable elephants. The dwarf elephants are like dismounting, and they have good endurance.

The elephant rides on a carriage, and the short elephant crosses the saddle. The high and low combination complement each other.

When King Ji was light and was hand-painted with a picture of gods and ghosts, he was a good general in the temple and forged a suit of elephant soldiers.

On this day, I suddenly received a visit to report.

He said that a foreign merchant ship from Linyipu arrived on the shore. He submitted a letter to the country. He said that there were secret matters and asked to meet King Ji in front of him.

King Ji did not doubt that he had him, so Kaifeng looked at him.

“Huh?”

After a few moments, King Ji passed the order: "Beat the drum and raise the tent."

"No." Shi Huan then went to pass on his mission.

After a moment, the officials in the camp came one after another and gathered in the central army's tent.

He passed the letter of the country to everyone. King Ji asked: "You think what do you think."

"Is there someone else in Funan?" Xi Zhicai was puzzled: "I have never heard of the change in the Funan Palace. Who is this "Queen of Funan"?"

"It's not known yet." Liu Bei said, "However, the words in the book are conclusive, it doesn't seem to be fake."

Guo Jia made a comment: "Why not invite the assist to the camp and look at it in person. Whether it is true or false, you can tell with just one eye."

"Okay." King Ji then ordered the chief clerk Sun Qian to invite him.

At midday, the car drove into the camp.

Beat the drum to raise the tent, and the civil and military officials sit down. Wait for bathing and changing clothes, confirm that it is correct, and introduce the tent.

"The heroine of Funan, Liu, has met the king." This woman spoke Chinese and acted well.

"Please sit down." Since you call yourself a heroine, you should treat each other with courtesy.

King Ji said, "Why did the queen come from?"

"I ask King Ji to send troops to eliminate the treacherous and restore the homeland." Liu replied.

At the same time, a superstition was also sent to the camp.
