Win the Ding 1617

"sit down!"

Li Shouhan put on a straight face and scolded Shi Lang, the commander of the navy who was eager to fight.For Shi Lang, the eldest son-in-law, Li Shouhan treated his second son-in-law Zheng Sen with the same love and care.These two sons-in-law are really fighting for themselves.The eldest son-in-law Shi Lang's prestige and ability in the navy is the same as his wife Li Huamei, and he can be called the double star of the navy.The second son-in-law, Zheng Sen, gradually turned the green of the Nanyang Islands into black and red through swords and guns and classrooms.

(Green is a color that everyone knows what it means, but black and red are not so clear, right? Since the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties in China, black and red have been the official colors. Official uniforms and military flags are either black or red.)

Compared with his brother-in-law's continuous achievements in the Nanyang Islands, his status in the Southern Guangdong Army system, which is respected by military achievements, is getting higher and higher. He was punished because of the defeat of the Liaodong Army. Shi Lang, who has been idle for the past year, is a little sad Moved.

However, no matter what, Li Shouhan would not let Shi Lang explore any new sea routes at this time.

Because, Li Huamei was already six or seven months pregnant. At this time, the husband did not stay with his wife to wait for the delivery, but instead went to engage in some dangerous sea routes. No matter what, Li Shouhan, a father, could not accept it.

He scolded Shi Lang with a tiger's face.Shi Lang had no choice but to sit down awkwardly, listening to what his father said.The atmosphere in the study seemed a little strange for a moment.

Admiral Zheng Zhilong next to him is not only Shi Lang's officer, but also his father's generation, as well as Li Shouhan's in-laws, so he is naturally very clear about what he is thinking.

"Your Majesty, don't be too hasty. Life at sea is no better than on land. Even if you want to explore the sea, you must first ask someone to ask, understand the charts, find a boatman, and do enough paperwork before you go to sea. You can't go to sea without a head. Just bumping around the same way."

These words set up a good step for Weng and his son-in-law to complete such a preparatory work.Months and half a year will pass, and by then, as long as Li Huamei is not pregnant with Nezha, the birth will be over no matter what.

Hearing Zheng Zhilong's words.Li Shouhan's face turned from cloudy to sunny, "In the end, it's my in-laws who are old and deep. Shi Lang, you will organize people tomorrow to collect and transcribe the materials of various voyages, and first find a route on the chart that you can try!" "

He scolded Shi Lang with a tiger face.Shi Lang listened.My heart is full of joy.This is equivalent to giving him this errand in public. Even when he started to figure out, how to go to various government offices and various vassals to understand the relevant sea route, hydrology, ocean currents and climate conditions, and then find Father Alfonso to explain how the red-haired barbarians walk. Ask clearly about the itinerary. "If he can't explain clearly, I will go to the prison to torture those prisoners of war! There will always be people who are afraid of death!"

But he didn't expect that the biggest help for him to explore the South Road route would come from his father-in-law Li Shouhan who lived behind the desk, and those mathematicians in the university.

However, at this time.However, Li Shouhan was still listening carefully to Xu Huanshan's various ideas and requirements for building a new continent.

"Huzi, stop for a while." Li Shouhan couldn't help but frowned after hearing a number, "You want to provide you with [-] qualified village and town chiefs within three years, and help you build at least four mansions." The yamen came, isn't it a little difficult for others?"

He pointed to the huge map on the wall, "The land of ten states has also been reclaimed for several years. Up to now, hundreds of villages and towns have been established along the coast, and selected key points are dangerous. Fortresses, ports, and officials have been built. It's also here. You want to build such a huge territory in three years, isn't it a bit too ambitious? Besides, the ten states also have requirements. Over the past year, there have been waves of refugees and immigrants from the mainland and Nanzhong There are more and more officials at all levels, and where do you want me to find them? Besides, there are not so many immigrants coming in, so why do you want so many officials? To manage the descendants of Yin and Shang? If I add [-] immigrants to you, how much more shipping capacity do you need?"

"My lord, you don't have to worry about the ship. As long as it's profitable, the few boat companies and chariot companies in Shunfeng who can transport people and goods will naturally flock to them. We just need to place an order with them. But right now, we It is necessary to clarify the property situation of the New World.”

Li Peilin reversed Li Shouhan's mood with gentleness like spring rain, and everyone immediately began to discuss the large amount of property brought by Ruoshuidao's long life, Yin Lei, and Shangfeng.

"Four thousand pairs of high-quality bison horns, five thousand catties of beef tendons, one thousand catties of raw gold, two thousand pieces of sea otter skins, five thousand pieces of fox skins, five thousand catties each of corn, sweet potato, potato and other seeds. Pepper and other variegated seeds Two thousand catties."

Other things are fine, gold and fur and other precious things in the eyes of others have long been aesthetic fatigue in the eyes of this group of people.Only those seemingly ordinary seeds, horns, tendons, etc., attracted everyone's attention.

With your own direct shipping line, you no longer need to spend high prices to purchase corn, potatoes and other seeds from others to prevent the seeds from deteriorating.It is even possible to use newly introduced seeds as female parents to crossbreed with local Nanzhong seeds to breed new varieties.

"My lord, according to Yin Lei and others, there is a lot of wood in this old place of the Yin Shang, and it is often a forest that stretches for thousands of miles. It can be used to build ships and build a city. I plan to choose a place to build a dock. In Dingdong City, Xinchaoge and other places have established shipyards to build ships, so that there are ships available no matter if you go south to conquer the Hongmao Yi people, or go west to go home. I wonder what the lord thinks?"

"Sure!" Li Shouhan knew that the forestry resources on the American continent were horribly rich. Among the top twenty richest men in American history, Frederick Weil ranked ninth. Hoyzer relied on logging to accumulate a huge wealth of US$912 billion. Please note that when this old gentleman died, it was 1914.The lumber and paper magnate Weilheuser and his family are said to have once owned a large tract of land the size of Wisconsin.Not only has it monopolized the wood and paper industries in the United States, but it has cleverly avoided the blow of the anti-monopoly law because of its consistent low-key style of life and work.This alone has already made Rockefeller, who is so big and flamboyant, extremely jealous.The old man left Bill Gates, Ford, Buffett and others far behind the rich list.

The timber processing industry and shipbuilding industry were established on the west coast one day earlier, which is of great significance for speeding up the naturalization process of Indians and the construction of urban roads for the transportation of various materials.

"I'll go to the back house to find your sister-in-law in a while, and I'll pay for the construction of the wood factory and shipyard!" Li Shouhan not only generously agreed to Xu Huanshan's application, but also took the first step to control at least the wood processing industry on the west coast. "For things that don't exceed 500 million silver dollars, your sister-in-law has ready-made silver!"

Xu Huanshan smiled honestly, he knew.The little sister-in-law that Li Shouhan was talking about was the seventh wife, Ao Lei Yilan, who was in charge of various affairs in the palace.Yan Meier and Li Muhua went south to deal with many matters of moving, and Ao Lei Yilan came to act as the housekeeper in the palace of Guangzhou.

"My lord has spent all his personal money to help Mr. Xu. Then we can't fall behind. Governor Xu, Li is no match for my lord, so I can only offer a few hundred thousand silver dollars, which can be regarded as helping you in the land of Yin and Shang. .”

Having followed Li Shouhan for more than 20 years, Li Peilin naturally knew.Li Shouhan's financial management is so shrewd, he just follows the things he is optimistic about!He thinks the same for others, right now it's your [-] and my [-], and within a short while, just the amount of funds raised nearly one million yuan.This does not include the shares that Li Shouhan promised to sell.Even Shi Lang and his wife paid [-] silver dollars.According to Li Huamei's words, "This is money for Uncle Huzi!"

If this picture, which was planned with millions of dollars in conversation and jokes, was seen by Chongzhen's classmates who are thousands of miles away, would they be so angry that they would vomit blood?

When Li Peiting jokingly expressed his inner thoughts, if he had changed to another place.This kind of rebellious and unscrupulous words is afraid that it will be scolded at least, or even beheaded.But it only caused a chuckle from everyone.

"My lord, the 8000 ox horns sent by the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army should be handed over to my subordinates! I am sure that the [-] ox horns will be exchanged for at least [-] people!" With a bison horn, he explained his inner thoughts to Li Shouhan with a smile.This pair of ox horns is at least two feet long, the texture is very smooth, the green is more than white, and the luster is like jade. It is the best material for bows!

"Our Southern Cantonese army has always fought with firearms at a distance and with a bludgeon stabbed with a broadsword for close combat. This horn is a good material for making a hard bow. It would be a bit of a secret to keep it in our hands. From the point of view of my subordinates, this pair of horns, if If you meet a good craftsman who makes a hard bow, you can at least forge a hard bow of thirty strength! That is the treasure that generals can't wait for when they go to battle to kill the enemy!"

In ancient my country and the Middle Ages, the strength of bows was measured in units of "stone".In the Ming Dynasty or a little earlier, probably due to the advancement of bow-making technology, it was changed to "force" as the unit.One force is nine catties and 14 taels (or cloud nine catties and four taels).Roughly ten forces are equal to one stone.

Undoubtedly, Li Peiting once again came up with the idea of ​​exchanging weapons and raw materials for making weapons for population.

"Two thousand pairs will be given to you. The other two thousand will be made into hard bows in Hejing and returned to the west coast. Give them to Huzi, and they can be distributed to the naturalized descendants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties."

Although I know that it takes at least three or four years to make a good bow in the Mainland, but who knows if the arrows shot by this bow will fall on my head after three or four years?

Therefore, people need to be changed, but the raw materials for making bows must be controlled!The so-called hunger marketing probably means this.

A meeting that decided the fate of tens of thousands of people tens of thousands of miles away came to an end as the night deepened.After eating some desserts for supper, everyone dispersed.

"Brother Zong, when you come to the mansion in the future, we need to have an attitude towards the Central Plains." When sending Li Peilin out, Li Shouhan confessed.

The recent official documents and edicts piled up in the office, and Li Peilin naturally knew that they were all urging Li Shouhan to lead the Southern Guangdong Army to rush northward for rescue.This time, I am afraid that we will also discuss this matter!

Back in his mansion, he waved his hand to the concubines who had posted up to flatter him, Li Peilin signaled his younger brother Li Peiting to stay in the flower hall and talk for now.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Li Peiting was exhausted after seven or eight consecutive hours of running his brain at high speed.He yawned and asked his brother, why did he stay and talk without going to sleep?

"My lord ordered you to lead people to do things, how are you doing?" Li Peilin didn't say much, and went straight to the point.

"My lord ordered me to go to the palace the day after tomorrow to discuss the affairs of the Central Plains. I'm afraid your errand will be delivered!"

Another big rock hit him, making Li Peiting sleepless!

"Brother, my lord is going to enter the Central Plains?!"

"That's why I said that your errand is about to be delivered!" Li Peiting took the hot towel handed over by the big girl in the room, wiped off the sweat on his face, and at the same time put the hot towel on his eyes to relieve the pain of excessive eye fatigue. pain.

Hearing his brother's reminder, Li Peiting's sleepiness disappeared immediately.The whole person has entered a state of excitement caused by being overtired but facing new stimuli.

"The deduction is almost done! The rogues, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, our brothers from the Tong family in Liaodong, the actions that several forces may take. The actions that will be taken have been deduced one by one. Although it is not a hundred shots, but it is ten. There are eight or nine."

"I have changed into an enemy. Those people are not fools. They would not be there to let us deal with them with all their wits. They are there to die and be beaten by us! The hundreds of thousands of elites of our Southern Guangdong Army have never been thrown into the Central Plains and Liaodong. The battlefield. Naturally, they can act recklessly. If the lord is clear about state affairs, he is ready to go north. Whether it is the banner of King Qin, which has been fought many times in the past, or silently expanding the territory and influence, these people will take action."

"What brother said is right! If you treat the enemy as a fool, you are the biggest fool!" Li Peiting said a curse word learned from Li Shouhan.

Li Peilin ordered people to fry a thick ginseng soup, and prepared a few snacks and side dishes that the brothers liked to eat on weekdays. The two brothers turned away the left and right people and started plotting.

"Let's talk about Li Chuang, Cao Cao, Zhang Xianzhong and others first. Our army has never fought against them. I don't know the tactics of this generation, the composition of the army, and what are their weaknesses. The direction is directly approaching the Yangtze River, and I am afraid that I will soon fight against this generation."

"Brother, don't worry. Within a year or two, these Shaanxi soldiers may not be our lord's serious concern! To put it bluntly, our lord may still hope that they will make more troubles in his heart!"

"What are you going to say?" Li Peilin couldn't help being a little puzzled seeing his brother's confident look.

"Brother, you have been so smart for a while." Li Peiting took a sip of ginseng soup. The top-quality old wild ginseng produced in the bitter cold area of ​​Liaodong really had extraordinary effects, making him feel warm all over his body.

Millions of rogues across the Central Plains.Its leaders and backbones are all from Shaanxi, especially those from northern Shaanxi.Right now, Sun Chuanting has been arrested and sent to Beijing, and the more than [-] troops he has painstakingly managed have become spoils of war in the hands of the rogues.And the hinterland of Guanzhong, which is known as Qinchuan for eight hundred miles.There is only a Tongguan with empty defenses between these millions of rogues!

The so-called wealth and honor do not return to their hometowns, like traveling at night in brocade clothes.Now Li Zicheng holds large tracts of land in Henan and northern Huguang in his hands, and he is no longer the postman who ran on the yellow land and delivered documents under the scorching sun.At this time, if you don't go to take Shaanxi, expand your territory even more, and even formally found the country and proclaim yourself emperor in the city of Xi'an, when will you wait?

"However, before Li Zicheng conquered Tongguan, it is impossible for him to assume the title of emperor so early. Because, beside him, there is another person who is no less powerful than him, and whose qualifications and prestige are far stronger than him. If this person is not eliminated, he will It is impossible to become emperor!"

"Cao Cao?!"

"That's right! Brother, it's this person! Although the number of soldiers and horses in this person's hands is not as large as Li Chuang's, the generals and officers at all levels have followed him for many years. Unlike Li Zicheng, most of them are in Henan. They were recruited into the gang. Therefore, Lao Li is extremely afraid of Luo Rucai. Just wait and see! A big drama of annihilating Wang Lun will start sooner or later!"

In order to compete for leadership, the tricks and dramas of killing opponents are not uncommon in the political activities of all dynasties in China and abroad.It was Li Shouhan himself who took the position smoothly by killing He Fuqianhu as soon as he came up.

"Look, brother, Li Chuanghuo annexed Cao Cao, or Cao Caohuo annexed Li Chuang. At least to appease and stabilize the morale of the army, even if it annexed the other party's troops, it would take at least a month or two or even longer to complete the rectification of the army. About the horse."

"After rectifying the troops and swallowing all the wealth of the opponent's family, we can go to Tongguan and enter Shaanxi with peace of mind. This time, it will take at least half a year to go out. Then, proclaiming the emperor and founding a country, etc., which one is not right? A myriad of clues and complexities?"

Therefore, Li Peiting judged that when Li Shouhan led the Southern Guangdong Army to the north, under the banner of King Qin or Zhang Xianzhong, no matter how much they tossed south of the Yangtze River, it would not disrupt the steps of Li Zicheng's group of troops.They might also be very happy to see Zhang Xianzhong, a fellow villager, beaten to the brim by Li Shouhan.

From this point of view, the original strategy of "bringing bandits across the river" was considered very successful.The terrain and climate in the south of the Yangtze River are extremely unsuitable for Zhang Xianzhong's troops. At most, they just make circles in the south of the Yangtze River, and when they get what they want, they will whistle and lead him there.

"Second, you arrange your people to contact the Eight Great Kings to see what his next plan is, whether he intends to go up the river and visit Sichuan!?"

Right now, the Southern Guangdong Army's intentions are relatively clear.Acting in the name of protecting the environment and the people.As long as these so-called thieves go wherever they go, the Southern Guangdong Army will follow the heavens and send their troops there!

"As for Li Zicheng, you also need to arrange for your confidant to go there. Order someone to tell him. After conquering Tongguan, even if he becomes emperor, he will continue to trade with him. However, he has to take real money and various Kind of valuables in exchange."

"Brother!" Hearing that Li Peilin had asked him such a difficult problem, Li Peiting couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed! "Shaanxi was originally a poor place, and it was also a land of famine for many years. Li Zicheng conquered Shaanxi, and this is his hometown. How could he have the nerve to start looting? Where do you ask him to find those gold and silver and valuables? Come to trade with us? What's more, he has to feed his army of millions!"

Li Peilin took a playful look at his younger brother.

"Brother, your cultivation level is not yet at home. You are still only staring at the gold and silver and the so-called precious materials. It is what the Buddhists call looking at mountains and waters. But you forgot that Old Sun was in Shaanxi. The new policy has been implemented? It is similar to our big son in Shandong. The most wonderful thing is that a large amount of cotton is planted! Can Lao Li use up the cotton? They don’t need to use it up? into cloth?"

"Also, go and look at the map. Who are the neighbors of Shaanxi? Yulin to the north is the land of the Mongols, and not far to the west is the land of Xifan, which is the land of the Mongols and Tibetans! What gold and silver horses? Not much? If you remind me a little bit, Lao Li will send people to snatch the Mongols and Tubo people! He will not let these people go for the gold, silver and Hequ horses in the hands of the Mongols. of the Tartars!"

"Brother, you are really powerful! If you don't say it, I will forget it! Since many years ago, the vast area west of Jiayuguan and north of Yulin has been occupied by the Mongols. The Hamiwei Hetaowei capital established at the beginning of the kingdom It has long been abandoned, and every city on the map has been occupied by Tartars. I don’t know how the emperors of all dynasties will explain to their ancestors after seeing their ancestors!”

"Why do you care about those things? As long as someone brags about them, isn't it enough? Tell the world that they don't make love, don't give up the land, and don't pay compensation?"

"Brother, Li Zicheng's beating of the Mongols in Xifan is probably not just a little bit of gold and silver for us, right?" Li Peiting stared at the map for a while, and suddenly bursts of strange smiles appeared on his face.

"Why, what did you see?"

Li Peilin was playing with the small bowl of ginseng soup in his hand, just listening to his brother's analysis and opinions.

"We signed the terms with Wu Sizang. But the group of bald donkeys has always been betting on both ends. On the one hand, they are constantly sending more people to build roads. If one dies, Lang Sheng will make up for three. On the one hand, they kept sending envoys to communicate with Tong Bage in Liaodong. The route the envoys traveled was the Mongols in the West Fanland. Li Zicheng's beating of the Mongols was no different from cutting off the Uzbek bald men. The communication channel between the donkeys and the Liaodong rebels. At that time, I will see how these bald donkeys will bet on both ends! I will send someone to talk to the Eighth King Haosheng and tell him that Tibetans in the Songpan Ganzi area How rich is a man, let him give this great learned treasure a little more trouble and pressure from the east. Let's see if these two Buddhist disciples from the Western Heaven will come to our lord's throne to cry and beg!" (~^~ )
