The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 245
When Tang Qing'an visited Gaizhou, the people came to spread the news that all the generals had returned from Jinzhou and had arrived in Jinzhou. How should the generals be arranged?

"Let them rest for a while after this long journey."

then.

Liu Chengmin and others returned to their respective families.

These generals are not in the army, but all the armies have been mobilized to carry out large-scale training.

The military generals in Jinjiang Town didn't mention it, Wu Hong, Wang Chun, Wang Feng, Chang Dong and other domestic generals were greatly shocked.

It was like a blow to the head that made them sober.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the prestige of Marquis Ping Liao is so high that no one can shake it.

It has been half a month since Tang Qing'an returned to Jinzhou.

And his second son has been born, and this time he is not in the mansion.

He didn't care much about the rules, but Qin Keqing and others couldn't, he couldn't stay in Qin Keqing's room.

At least not for this period of time, I reluctantly went to the yard next door.

Day two.

Tang Qing'an recruited Liu Chengmin first.

"How about it."

Tang Qing'an laughed.

Liu Chengmin bared his teeth and smiled wryly.

"Wei Yi is extremely powerful and difficult to deal with. Anyway, I think dealing with him is more labor-intensive than fighting barbarians."

"Without two brushes, how could Shi Nai be replaced so easily."

Tang Qing'an was not surprised.

The affairs of the generals in Jinzhou, those who had returned long ago, wrote a detailed booklet and handed it to him.

So he has some understanding of the situation of the generals in Jinzhou, and knows how many setbacks they have encountered.

Wei Yi can not only turn his face quickly, but also talk and laugh calmly.

All kinds of methods really amazed him.

In terms of official means, he is indeed no match for this person.

Liu Chengmin didn't hide it, not that he was worried that his elder brother would be jealous, he followed his elder brother since he was a child, so he didn't need to be jealous.

"Even you arranged in advance, using the Jinxiang Hou's Mansion to win you over, I don't know what methods are used against other people."

Tang Qing'an sighed.

If it was peacetime, he really didn't have many ways to face this person, except for strong resistance.

He wasn't sure if it was the weekend, though.

Suddenly thought of a joke.

Can't help but laugh.

As a time traveler, he understands the word time travel. Thanks to the starting point, he has read countless books at the starting point, so he is very familiar with time travel.

And because I love history, I read countless time-traveling historical novels at the starting point, which led me to become a historian of civil science.

In short, it was a great help to myself, at least it made me accept the situation at that time quickly.

He thought that he had read a novel in the late Ming Dynasty long before crossing, but he couldn't remember the title of the book.

However, there is one episode that he remembers deeply, which is still unforgettable to this day.

The protagonist in the book has just traveled through time, and asks the people around him what time it is now, and the farmer answers that it is the late Ming Dynasty.

"hey-hey."

Tang Qing'an couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What are you laughing at, brother?"

Liu Chengmin asked puzzledly.

"Irrelevant things, you don't know even if you tell them."

Tang Qing'an waved his hand.

Liu Chengmin got used to it, and didn't ask too much, it was much better than before, when the eldest brother was young, he often laughed inexplicably.

"However, during the job description, Wei Yi often summoned everyone to talk alone. What details were discussed and what promises were made made me a little worried."

Liu Chengmin looked serious.

"It's not about getting promoted and getting rich. There are also strange things to do. It's just an old routine."

Tang Qing'an didn't take it seriously.

Wei Yi's set.

It would be useful if placed in an ordinary border town, but his Jinjiang town is different.

As long as he doesn't die, no one can replace him.

"Brother, you are not a person who is used to being angry, why can you be so patient? According to your past temperament, I thought you would send a large army to Jinzhou to give Wei Yi a blow."

What Liu Chengmin thought at the beginning was that the eldest brother would send a large army to go with them.

There is a big army on the side, and there is the support of the big brother behind.

They were really not afraid of Wei Yi turning his face before.

But the eldest brother only sent a thousand soldiers, as if it was really an ordinary job assignment.

Although it has passed, thinking of the scene of that day, Liu Chengmin is still a little scared.

After all, it was related to my own life. Due to the situation at that time, I had to go head-on, but it was definitely good to keep it.

No one wants to die in vain.

"Zhan Zhan was responsible for gathering merchants in Jinling, and began to collect various commodities for the sea trade in Jeju Island in a few months.

The matter of maritime trade is related to the future food and military pay of the Jinjiang Army, and it is no small matter.

So I chose to endure him.

If I let him fail in this matter, he will definitely find other places to confront me. If he finds out about Jinling to make trouble for me, that will be the greatest harm to me.

But I don't care much about his current method. No one in Jinjiang Town can overthrow me. He chose the wrong method by using the short to attack the long. "

Hearing the elder brother's words, Liu Chengmin suddenly realized.

"Although Wei Yi is powerful, he is still an ordinary civil servant, his eyes are still in the country, and he doesn't know how powerful Haimao is.

Now he doesn't know, he is afraid that he will become anxious and mess around in the country, as long as it is my business, he will not let it go.

So even if he didn't see the seriousness of the maritime trade matter, he made a mistake and finally delayed my major event. "

Tang Qing'an explained in detail.

Although there is no sea ban in Dazhou, there are still smuggling sea merchants, but these volumes, from a personal point of view, are indeed rich.

But compared to one side, it is just icing on the cake.

The same is true of the Ming Dynasty in history, and even when Longqing opened and closed, it just coincided with the rise of the Spanish galleon trade.

One just has the global currency, and the other just has the luxury goods that the world needs, and the two forces are combined.

Then, at the peak of each year, the trade volume of millions of taels of silver can be counted as one of twenty taxes.

It is only a tax of 10,000 + 10,000 + taels of silver that is worthy of a country's attention.

Otherwise, the sea ban has not been lifted. In the past, the annual trade volume of tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of taels, although not a lot, has not reached the level of shocking.

After all, in an agricultural country, materials are more important than silver.

Otherwise, there will be no dispute over the mulberry farmers in the south of the Yangtze River.

of course.

Since Tang Qing'an chose Haimao, he definitely wouldn't just be a hands-off shopkeeper and collect taxes from it, so how much can he get.

What he wants is to monopolize this trade. If he succeeds, it will be wealth that can make Jinjiang Town's [-] troops not worry about military pay.

"Brother, you should handle the troops from China carefully."

Liu Chengmin saw that his elder brother already had countermeasures, so he couldn't help reminding him in the end.

Tang Qing'an nodded.

He didn't say the next thing.

He is watching.

There are shortcuts that can be taken. He does not want to be the source of disaster, but to act as a savior.

The beginning of a power.

Whether the foundation is correct or not is also very important, and sometimes it can determine the trend.

After Liu Chengmin left.

Zhu Xiu, Wu Zhenmeng and others came to see him successively.

The two are more straightforward.

"General, the imperial court ignores us in Jinjiang Town and regards us as enemies regardless of the situation. General, please give an order."

"What order?"

Tang Qing'an asked puzzledly.

"I ordered the army to be dispatched, to give Jinzhou a good look, and to let Wei Yi know that our Jinjiang Town is not easy to mess with."

"Oh."

Tang Qing'an understood.

"I thought you wanted me to order you to take the capital directly."

The two were shocked.

Hearing the words, the back is as earthy.

"This this……"

They were all surprised and speechless.

The two didn't have other thoughts, but they didn't expect the general to say such words, which was too surprising.

Hit the capital?
They didn't even think about it, and they didn't know how to respond for a while.

"Just kidding, look at how scared you are."

Tang Qing'an looked at the two of them amusedly.

He is also a Zhou.

Understand Zhou people's impression of the court.

The imperial court is heaven.

Although there is no concept of country, there is also a general idea.

Before crossing, he saw historical data that the strongest firearms unit in the late Ming Dynasty suddenly caused chaos in Shandong, not far from the capital.

Since everything is messed up and they don't want to surrender, why not just take the opportunity to attack the capital.

The capital city didn't guard against them at first, and the capital camp didn't have much fighting power.

With the strength of this army, the firearms and cannons in the army are the most in the east.

If you insist on breaking the capital, it is not without success, on the contrary, it is very successful.

This is the heart of the people.

I would rather choose to defend a corner than to attack the capital in the past.

People don't want to think about it.

If it is placed in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and other eras when people's hearts are absent, the army is in chaos, and of course only the capital will be taken if there is a chance.

This is the power of the human heart, affecting everyone unconsciously.

"If you want to make trouble with Wei Yi, it will also lead to the court's accountability. It's better to deal with it calmly. I know your thoughts."

Tang Qing'an looked at the two of them, their faces turned red and then pale.

Wei Yi's sophistication, privately wooing the general of Jinjiang Town, made people's hearts unstable, and he was afraid of being suspected by the general.

So show your loyalty.

This is a good thing.

It shows that Jinjiang Town's heart lies in him, not in Wei Yi.

Being able to figure this out, Tang Qing'an didn't pay too much attention to it.

People are not machines.

Thoughts are ever-changing, but you can't escape the overall situation.

There are more than three million Liao people in Jinjiang Town, and one hundred thousand troops recognize themselves, so a single individual cannot turn the sky.

This is also the human heart.

As long as Tang Qing'an didn't choose to rebel with a clear banner and cause panic in Jinjiang Town, the court would do nothing to him. Who would let Jinjiang Town hang alone overseas?

The court wanted to replace him, and either he agreed or beheaded.

The most important thing is not to be so.

It is natural for the imperial court to suppress him and want to check and balance him, and it is a due practice.

The difference is the general's ambition.

Whether you are willing to submit to the court or not belongs to the management of the court.

In the former Beizhen, the Liaodong Jiedushi chose to obey, so he had the century-old wealth of the Jinxiang Houfu.

And if someone like Mao Wenlong is unwilling to delegate power, of course he will gradually become a hostile opponent of the imperial court.

Tang Qing'an was also unwilling to delegate power.

So the situation in the next big week is the key, is it the weekend?

He wasn't sure.

Boil it again.

Take another look.

The initiative is still in his hands.

"It's because our thinking is simple, but if you have any ideas in the general's mind, you can tell me, and the general will definitely be the master."

Wu Zhenmeng said seriously.

During this time, he was very regretful.

In the past, I was scruples about fellow countrymen, and my performance was not decisive enough. After thinking about it after I came back, I felt that what I did was not right.

"Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking, after following me for so many years, can I still worry about you?
Talking about what other people are doing, nagging like a woman, it's annoying. "

With the general's attitude, the two actually felt a little more at ease.

His complexion turned light.
