Daming Yuanfu

The discussion on the Western Expedition has come to an end.

The two were silent for a while. Liu Xin sighed and asked, "I'm about to go south after writing this letter. Do you have anything to say to Yuan'er?"

Gao Wushi remained silent for a while, and said indifferently: "I have nothing to explain to him, you know my intention to let him go to southern Xinjiang, so at least I won't interfere too much with his behavior, I just want to observe Check him out. As for letting him look after him in southern Xinjiang, hehe, this is just Zhiting's idea, and I have no attitude towards it.

As for this battle, it is essentially just my appeasement to the radicals in the southern Xinjiang military—of course, there is a group of people behind these people who are also advocating westward advancement, I know, but I have no intention of getting entangled in this matter. "

Liu Xin murmured: "Aside from the military, is there anyone else who is promoting the westward advance of southern Xinjiang?"

"Of course there is, otherwise it's just the military, and they dare not express such expectations to me." Gao Wushi adjusted his sitting posture, leaned comfortably in the depths of the grand master's chair, and said with a sneer, "Remember what I said just now?" , 'The root of all problems is economic problems'.

Southern Xinjiang is a testing ground. The political, economic, and military systems there are unprecedented, and the social level is also extremely complex. Therefore, some of the problems it faces are naturally unprecedented, and I need to skillfully maintain them and slowly change them.

Let's talk about politics first. The current political system in southern Xinjiang can be said to be the most special.I retained the original several kingdoms, but took their real power and handed over the real power to Jinghua Group, which made the current southern Xinjiang form a federation system with no real name—of course, it is a strong central government and a weak government. local federation.

Under such a federation, political power is highly concentrated in nature, but since I cannot stay in southern Xinjiang all the time, I can only let Zhiting sit in charge on my behalf.However, Zhiting's position in this era will itself lead to the weakening of power, that is, she has many things that she dare not or do not want to make decisions on the spot, so she has to write to Beijing to ask for my permission... you say , what would this lead to? "

Liu Xin hadn't thought much about this kind of problem before, but she was keenly aware that Gao Yushi seemed to be saying these things to her on purpose today.Don't know why, but it's definitely important.

The fourth room brother passed away early, so I won't talk about it.Wuben, the elder brother of the fifth house, had done a good job in Jinyiwei, but unfortunately last time I asked the fifth elder brother to resign from his errand for the sake of peace of mind of the emperor.He is an honest man, he felt that since he had been a Jinyi guard, it was not good for him to come to Jinghua to work again, so he only let his son follow me.

Think about it, the economic circles in southern Xinjiang need the domestic economy of Daming that I control to complement them. Without me, the economic cycle in southern Xinjiang will be broken immediately, and no one knows what the consequences will be;
The top military officials are either my servants, the surrendered generals I subdued, or some of my clan relatives.They are inseparable from me in terms of their personal identities, and the basis of their power is their relationship with me.At the same time, the military's biggest reliance is the army, but both land and sea in southern Xinjiang cannot do without the supply system I built, and they can only insist on being loyal to me;
As for the political circles, almost all of them come from my Gao family's clan members or family members, and as far as I know, they have formed several factions... This is very interesting, but it is not a bad thing for me.

The fourth brother is frugal, this kid is a killer.When he went to Taiwan to colonize, he killed some uncivilized natives too hard, and I strictly punished him several times.But looking back, maybe what he did was not entirely a bad thing, at least after that, Taiwan’s immigration resettlement work went very smoothly... How many Han Chinese and naturalized Han Chinese are there in Taiwan now? "

Erfang is a bit pitiful, although the second elder brother Guoyan has always controlled the first department of Jinghua Bank, it is a pity that Erfang is the only one.One of his two sons died young, and the other had just grown up, and it was too late to form any power.Of course, Jinghua's financial power is in his hands, and the factions don't dare to offend him.

However, the overall level of development in Boni is still too low. As a patrol envoy, he doesn't have many soldiers in his hands, and a colonization regiment with more than [-] people is nothing in southern Xinjiang.The Nanyang Garrison, which he had been talking about before, planned to allocate a division (town) to him. When this group of people is in hand, his "Three Masters" will be a bit worth seeing.

Gao Qi also has a fourth brother, Gao Zhang, who is still underage, so I won't talk about it for now.In short, the Wufang family is very smart. Instead of forming a faction of their own, they are close to Wuqin... Let's see in the future. "

Sanfang is my second younger brother Wuguan's successor, and currently he is only an idle official in the capital, but he has the least influence at all.However, after all, Wu Guan is the successor to my third uncle, and there is a tablet of Duke Wen Zheng at home, so no one dares to disrespect him.

"In a few years?" Liu Xin said with disbelief all over her face, "In a few years, Jinghua will become more powerful, and your status in Daming will be even higher. Even if they have water in their heads, they will never dare to covet you .”

Liu Xin couldn't help but rolled her eyes, thinking that you just criticized Gao Wujian for killing too hard, and then you said that you want to recruit people from his subordinates to use elsewhere. Doesn't this mean that you also think that some places have to kill a group of people? ?
Originally, some tribes in the backcountry of Nanyang are so low in civilization that they are almost still at the stage of cannibalism.As long as you dare to go to this kind of "people", either they will kill you or you will kill them. How can there be any reason?Do you all kill others together and share the human flesh?
At this time, Gao Wushi continued: "The fifth younger brother Wuzhong, this kid is a bit withdrawn. He neither wants to be promoted as an official, nor does he want to go to Jinghua to start a business. He has been living in Xinzheng. He said that it is okay for all the brothers in the family to come out." Not good, it's better to leave him alone to fulfill his filial piety at Gaotang's knees... How much do you think his words are true?"

Liu Xin said without hesitation: "The report at the end of last year shows that there are about 54 Han Chinese and naturalized Han Chinese in Taiwan."

Several of his children are not very old, but he has already told me that if they do not get good grades in the exams in the future, they will still have to ask me to arrange them in Jinghua... But that is all for the funeral, so there is nothing to say for the time being.

"You played well." Liu Xin pouted, and said, "In the middle of last year, you were still fighting in North Korea, and a rebellion broke out in Mindanao. Gao Wujian didn't wait for the army to assemble, and only brought Fubo City ]’s [-] soldiers immediately sailed south and landed on Mindanao, and because they went so fast, it was as if a magic soldier had descended from the sky.

His eldest son is Gao Qi, who has done a good job as intelligence secretary. Uncle Mo told me several times that he hopes Gao Qi will succeed him, and I plan to wait a year or two before doing this.Gao Qi is a smart person, knowing that his position is sensitive, he never forms a clique, but his younger brothers are quite interesting...

Liu Xin replied cautiously: "I'm not sure, but... Maybe it's because the power center in southern Xinjiang is powerful, but it's a bit illusory?"

"I don't doubt it." Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "Da Ming is not the Tang Dynasty, and Confucianism has been imprisoned for too long. From the ideological level, there is no soil for the emergence of martial arts. But from the benefit level, it can maintain the entire southern Xinjiang. I am the only person who is a powerful person from all walks of life.

Gao Wushi turned the topic back, and said: "In short, he is considered a faction now, so let's treat it as the 'Four Master Party'... But the people who voted for him are generally more murderous, I have to find Take some time from it and send it to other places."

"That's true." Gao Wushi nodded, and said again: "Then there are six younger brothers and seven younger brothers. I have kept them with me for many years. They are both from intern secretary to confidential secretary. This time Shen has always been a black hand, and I let them each be responsible for a mess of things. As long as they can finish it properly, it should be released at that time.

Liu Xin looked surprised, and said puzzledly: "That's strange, what is the purpose of doing this? Don't say you want 'Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan'? But at least none of them are stupid enough to think they can fight you, and it doesn't make sense for you to do so."

Originally, as long as Jinghua handled these people well, they could all become naturalized Han Chinese after a period of time.Now that he has done this, there are hidden dangers in Mindanao, and it may take at least two generations to heal the war memory of the local indigenous people. "

Gao Wushi smiled and said, "There's no need to be so cautious. Actually, what you want to say is that although the political power in southern Xinjiang is powerful, it has left the highest executive power in the air."

"It's about Sister Zhiting, even I don't want to be too straightforward." Liu Xin smiled bitterly: "Since you want to point out this point, then I have to ask clearly, do you still have doubts about her, or do you still have any doubts about her?" Have reservations?
Hey, let me state in advance that I don't think it is necessary, because no matter how I look at it, I don't think it is necessary for her, and in fact she has been extremely careful not to touch things that may cause misunderstandings. red line. "

Although he has talent and qualifications, but his status is not enough, so Rui Chu, the eldest son of the Dafang, became the key person in the cultivation of the Dafang.I was rather optimistic about this nephew, so I asked him to be the first patrol envoy of the Dragon Tooth Trustee, watching the Dragon Tooth Strait, an important traffic route, for me.

Gao Wushi didn't know why, but he smiled when he said this, and said, "Then there are my brothers in the house. The second brother Wuguan said it just now, so there is no need to say it again. The third brother Wuqin was in Jingang at the beginning, and later he lived in Nanning. Xinjiang has been on the post twice, and is now the patrol envoy of Boni [Note: Jinghua's patrol envoy of Boni governs the entire Kalimantan Island.].

Liu Xin said: "There are good and bad. The Luzon Islands originally had a large population, but the degree of Sinicization is far less than that of the countries in southern Xinjiang. It is relatively difficult to assimilate. Now being killed by Gao Wujian like this has deterred many tribes. Now they are obediently acting in accordance with Jinghua's rules. Those who should learn Chinese learn Chinese, and those who should send hostages to Fubo City have no one dared to refuse. This accelerates the process of Sinicization to a certain extent... I think the contribution is greater than that. passed."

Gao Wushi nodded, but still said dissatisfiedly: "The battle was fought well, but his clan wiped out the three leading indigenous tribes and killed almost 10 people successively, which is too much.

His second brother Gao Chun and third brother Gao Pu are currently following Wuqin [Note: Gao Yushi is the third brother. ] Hanging around in Nanyang.It is said that Gao Chun is relatively honest and has good administrative skills, while Gao Pu is a Tai Sui who killed some people when he suppressed the local natives... I haven’t seen these two nephews for several years. Next time they return to Beijing to visit, I'll have to take a closer look.

However, after all, he is still a secretary until now, and he has not formed any influence, so he is not considered a faction.Well, where do you think it would be appropriate to put them both? "

Wuqin has a relatively stable personality. I always like to use him to colonize new territories, but he was a little too kind in the past, and he was a little procrastinated in doing many things.Fortunately, now that Gao Pu has come under his command, he has taken over many things that need to be tough, which has accelerated the progress of Boni's immigration and development work, and has begun to form the "Three Lords faction".

Liu Xin frowned and said, "Why do you sound like you are deliberately asking your cousins ​​and brothers to form a group of people to form several factions? I thought you just said this just to show that you know about it. The situation, I just don't want to solve it for the time being... Why does it sound like you are pushing it on purpose?"

On the Dafang side, my older brother Wuzi is useless, but his second brother Mengnan is a prudent man, and I value him highly. He has been the Prime Minister of Siam for so many years and is very prestigious in Dingnan political circles.Of course, if he wasn't just my uncle's adopted son, I wouldn't let him stay in this position for a long time without rotation.

Gao Wushi shook his head and smiled: "Of course it doesn't make sense now, but maybe it will be meaningful in a few years?"

Gao Wushi laughed, and said, "I'm promoting it, otherwise why are there these arrangements?"

"Why does it have to be against me?" Gao Wushi blinked, and said, "The Buddha arranged so many demons and ghosts on the path to learn the scriptures. Could it be that he waited for them to grow bigger and overthrow Lingshan in the future?"

Liu Xin shook her head and said, "How can you tell me to comment on this kind of thing? But these years he stayed in Xinzheng, and every time he worshiped the ancestors, he was the representative of Liufang. I saw that he was about to become a patriarch... ... Well, this shouldn't be a bad thing, after all, if he doesn't come out to do things, he has no real power."

"Well, you did a good job. I remember that the population of Taiwan was only 20 during the Ming and Zheng Dynasties in the original history, but now it is almost three times that number." Gao Wushi nodded with satisfaction, and said: "But this kid is now He is no longer in Taiwan, so he transferred him to be a tour envoy to the Philippines, which is to continue to make use of his strengths."

"Oh... I see!" Liu Xin suddenly realized: "No matter how powerful the demons and ghosts on the road are, it is impossible to overthrow Lingshan. It proves that this person who learns the scriptures belongs to the destiny...

Haha, after a long time of trouble, you brothers are all arranged by you to find fault with Yuan'er in the future?Interesting, interesting, but this move... Tsk tsk. "

"I arranged so many people, but of course not all of them are for the purpose of causing trouble for Yuan'er." Gao Wushi pursed his lips, squinted at Liu Xin and said, "In the future, Chun'er will have to face some of them. Come to me and beg for mercy..."

Liu Xin widened her eyes and was about to speak, but after thinking about it, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"I won't! Well, it sounds fun, but now I'm a little anxious to watch the show."
