Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

Will Zhuge Fengye, who knows the truth, report the corruption of Xibo Ni after returning to China?of course not.This is not because Zhuge Fengye has become an official and his blood has turned cold, nor is it because Zhuge Fengye wants to get along with him, but there is a reason.

First of all, Zheng Kezang asked all officials to carry out their own responsibilities, and it is strictly forbidden to act beyond their authority at will.During the court meeting of the shogunate a few years ago, Cai Hanxiang, the minister of the Supervisory Yuan, only said that "the government's going to the countryside may lead to the intensification of local exploitation of the people", and Zheng Kezang criticized him for a while, and then fined him half a year's salary for exceeding his authority and intervening in politics.Who is Cai Hanxiang, the son of Zheng Fan and old Cai Zheng, who served two generations of Zheng Jing and Zheng Kezang? Si Langzhong intervened in the duties of the Overwatch Council.What's more, Xibo Nidu Protector's Mansion used to be a capital prisoner. Even if the capital prisoner was bought or deceived, but no matter how he didn't speak, the righteous master in charge didn't speak up, and he was a roadside person extending his hand. There was a procedural problem.

Secondly, Zhuge Fengye has also stayed in Xiboni, from the climate to external threats, from eating and drinking to mental state, no matter which aspect can not be compared with domestic.Therefore, it is indeed not easy for officials to overcome difficulties and endure hardships and loneliness, and it is human nature to seek some compensation.Speaking of which, Zhuge Fengyedao thinks that the officials of Xiboni have actually done a good job, at least they didn't put all the precious income in their pockets.

Of course, it is enough for Zhuge Fengye to understand all this, but he will not persuade the jealous Liu Xiang.In fact, Zheng Kezang is still very strict with the army and the officialdom. Coupled with the new atmosphere in the new dynasty, there is no corruption in the country, but there is a supervisory office in the outer dynasty, an investigation office in the inner court, and a military discipline in the Privy Council. The company is all gearing up to take their heads and show their power. Only the foolish and bold who don't know the situation will commit crimes against the wind.As for the overseas Protectorate, Zhongxiguipo is actually governed by the domestic territory, and the Ezo land is too remote and cold. Jinlan is the Great Protectorate that is valued by Zheng Kezang, and Labuan is the private territory that rewards Chen Long. Only Xibo Ni's status is rather embarrassing, so there are loopholes to be found.

And it is precisely because it is a special case that Liu Xiang feels dissatisfied with domestic comparisons.Zhuge Fengye thinks it is a good thing for the vigorous young warrior to be jealous.But being young also has its disadvantages. Unless Zheng Kezang, the supreme authority, spoke up, it would be difficult for these young people to accept the lessons of others, so Zhuge Fengye would not waste his time persuading them.

Not only did Zhuge Fengye go to change clothes and go to the welcome banquet, but the next day, Zhuge Fengye, who entered Chaoyong Fort, officially read Zheng Kezang's imperial edict in front of Xiboni soldiers and civilians.This edict responded to the long-term request of the Xibo Nidu Protectorate, and agreed to the establishment of a new county on the small island called Ling Yamen at the tip of the Malay Peninsula.Originally, Zheng Kezang did not need to reply in the form of an edict, but only an order from the Yamen of the Fanyang Countries. However, because it was related to the treaty between Zheng Fan and the Netherlands, there were many disputes within the Yamen of the Fanyang Countries. The quarrels spread to Zheng Kezang's ears.Zheng Kezang saw the map presented by Xiboni, and immediately decided to order the colonization in the name of Wang Lingzhao. In addition, Zhuge Fengye had served as a long history in Xiboni before. Ordered to go south, just in time for the first supply fleet after the New Year

The edict was issued, but Zhuge Fengye did not return to the country immediately.On the one hand, he needs to wait for Liu Xiang's fleet to assemble, and on the other hand, he has to personally witness the groundbreaking ceremony of Lingyamen County.

"Lingyamen County is in a dangerous position. Although the Thai and Western countries have not yet set foot in it, there are many countries in the northern peninsula and Sumatra. The king is quite worried when I leave Beijing." Zhuge Fengye glanced at the colonial officials in front of him. "The first worry is that you won't be able to guard Ling Yamen, and you will fall into the title of the vassal; the second worry is that in order to guard Ling Yamen, you will over-deploy Xiboni's soldiers and horses, which will lead to the death of the Protectorate. If it’s not stable, then the gain outweighs the loss.”

"Master Zhuge, please rest assured." Yin Zhendong's expression was more serious because he felt Zheng Kezang's attention. "Before applying to open the county across the sea, the officials and others have already planned the plan." Yin Zhendong didn't need to introduce it to Zhuge Fengye in detail, but Zhuge Fengye is now Zheng Kezang's eyes and ears, so he explained it seriously. "Liang Sima, I'm bothering you to explain to Lord Zhuge."

Ming Zheng’s Duhufu and Daduhufu’s system has changed a lot compared to the previous Dudufu’s era. It may be because of the purpose of decentralization. Therefore, except for the highest executive Duhu and Daduhu, they are governed by the government of foreign countries. In addition to the appointment of sect personnel, the long history in charge of leading political affairs was dispatched by the Ministry of Officials, the Sima in charge of military affairs was dispatched by the Privy Council, and the garrison was under the name of the Navy's Western Fleet. The rest is shared by the Ministry of War and the Yamen of Fanyang countries.

Although it looked a little messy, the purpose of the Privy Council's army has not changed, so Sima Liang and Zheng Qiong, the chief surname, looked at each other and stood up and reported: "Master Zhuge, there are currently 820 seven people in the Longxiang Army in Xiboni. "

As the Dudufu was restructured into the Duhufu and the Tuningfu, the Longxiang Army was also divided into two. Among them, those under the name of the Fleet and Duhufu continued to be called the Longxiang Army, while those under the Tuningfu were called The Fubo Army, the Fubo Army does not have a division-level organization, the largest tutelary mansion only governs a brigade, and the smallest only governs a regiment, its designation is the tutelary mansion plus brigade or regiment, for example, the Daqushan tutelary mansion governs a regiment , the regiment is called the Daqushan Regiment of the Fubo Army, and for example, Song (Jiang) Tai (Cang) guards a brigade, so the first regiment of the brigade is called the first regiment of the Fubo Army Songtai Brigade.As for the difference between the Longxiang Army under the name of the Duhufu and the Longxiang Army under the name of the fleet, the Longxiang Army under the name of the fleet is composed of a whole division, while the Longxiang Army under the name of the Duhufu is due to various reasons. The reason is that the abnormality does not conform to the formal organization of the division and brigade. It is usually just a collection of several sentry teams. The same is true for the Xibo Nidu Protectorate.

"In addition, Xibo Clay also has an independent fleet, with a total of [-] material soft sail cruise notification ships, [-] material soft sail notification ships each, and three [-] material soft sail single-masted coastal defense inspections. There are two boats, one Dafu boat and one Daguang boat with [-] yuan, two big bird boats with [-] yuan, and eleven small fishing boats." Liang Sima continued to report. "After the opening of Lingyamen, the Duhufu will dispatch one of the Fuchuan and [-] members of the Longxiang Army to carry a big Buddha Langji and a small red barbarian to stay in Lingyamen. On the one hand, it can deal with Sumatra and On the other hand, the forceful probing of the Malay countries can save the pressure on food and sea supplies.”

The plan is good, but in this way, the scale of Lingyamen County will be small. Of course, this is more in line with the current population situation of Xiboni. I think that with the increase in population recruitment and reclaimed fields, the garrison will solve the food problem. Timely increase.

Before Zhuge Fengye nodded, Liang Sima said: "As for the defense of Xiboni after the transfer of two hundred soldiers, we have also considered the issue of Xiboni's defense. In addition to the soldiers dispatched from China, Xiboni also has places. Xiangyong, let the head of Bingfang District introduce the situation to Mr. Zhuge."

Yongping of Bingfang District stood up with a smile: "Master Liang rolls the roll, and the next official will overstep."

Ou Zhuzheng then reported: "Xiboni now governs 720 households, including [-] Han people and seven households, and the rest are local aborigines of Li, Miao, Yao, Shanha and Guihua. Naturalized aborigines Putting He Shanha aside, Han, Li, Miao, and Yao villages all undertake military service. Of course, our place is no better than a middle school, and we can’t afford so many soldiers. When the natives come to attack, defend their respective villages."

Since most of the old, weak, sick and disabled cannot adapt to the torment of crossing the ocean and the acclimatization after arriving, the immigrants in Xiboni are basically young and middle-aged, and the so-called household is also composed of a couple and a number of newborns.At the same time, in view of the fact that the natives of Borneo are wary of Mingzheng's settlement, there will often be stupid tribes rushing out to plunder.These tribes will naturally be severely attacked by the garrison, but in order to deal with emergencies, Xiboni implements the policy of all people being soldiers. A little less, at most, is more tense during wartime mobilization, but it will not affect the normal defense of various villages.

After finishing speaking, Ou Yongping added: "Of course, it would be the best if the feudal clan can send more reinforcements."

"There will be reinforcements." Although Zhuge Fengye is not a member of the Ministry of War, there are also rumors that the Ministry of War is trying to find a way to accommodate the reduced new troops and prisoners of the Qing army. Sent to build Xiawang City, but it is certain that some mid-level and lower-level officers will be sent to the Overseas Protectorate. It is precisely based on this understanding that Zhuge Fengye will make a bold promise. It is related to the county, as the saying goes, the king of Chu starved to death in the palace with a thin waist. With Zheng Kezang's attention, not only the Ministry of War must send more troops, but also the yamen of foreign countries will find ways to send more immigrants. "It's just that it takes time and effort to transfer from China, and I have to rely on myself." Zhuge Fengye said a few official articles, and then asked again. "Ling Yamen involves Western countries, how can the adults guarantee that they will not take action before building the stronghold?"

"That's why I hope Master Zhuge will say hello to Master Liu and let his boat cooperate with us to stay in the sea outside Ling Yamen for a longer time." Liang Sima suggested. "As long as the strait to the north of the island is cut off, the Malay side will not be able to cross the sea in a short period of time. As for the south, the strait is much wider than the north. If you want to come to Sumatra, the countries will not be able to take care of it for a while."

Liu Xiang's boat?Zhuge Fengye smacked his mouth. This is a good way. Although the entire fleet is only two small gunboats, there are also some cannons on the military transport ships. The opponent's Taixi ships may not be enough, but the opponent's sultan's broken ships can be said to be easily captured, so Zhuge laughed. He said: "As for Master Liu, I can help you with the talk, but I heard that Master Liu's brother is in Xiboni, the adults should not patronize me, let that Lord Liu help! "

"Master Liu Ling, the lower officials will arrange it." Yin Zhendong also laughed. "However, if you use your personal feelings to persuade, how can your lord use righteousness to blame you?"

Zhuge Fengye's eyelids twitched, and he could clearly hear that Xiboni was also a little bit unimpressed with Liu Xiang, so he had no choice but to say to Xiboni: "Liu Zhongwu still knows the general situation, so let me go and find out."
