Chapter 556
"Okay! You can give them some wagons to haul fruits to the grassland. People on the grassland feed on cattle and sheep all day long, so they must be very willing to eat some fruits. This business is a long-term one and deserves encouragement." Li Xiao said to
Regarding the fruit business, I have a positive attitude.
"No! I will notify the Ministry of Railways and approve some trains for them."
"It's a bit far. Since Galdan has been defeated, you can let Man Ye go to Xining. The Tibetans are also involved in the Lanzhou incident. They owe a blood debt, and it's okay not to pay it back, especially the blood debt they owe me, the Ming Dynasty.
, must be paid back.”
"promise!"
"The war in the northwest is expected to subside for a while, but we don't want to stop it. We want to eliminate it! Since Zhungeer has chosen to start a war, let the Zhungeer people disappear forever."
"Commander, if this is the case, I am afraid...!" Zhang Huangyan, who was born as a scholar, is still afraid of the history pen as a knife.
"You don't need to interfere in this matter, maybe! Our Liao army doesn't need to interfere either. I heard that Tokugawa Katsuyori and Mouri Hidemoto have arrived in the capital, why didn't you report it to me?"
Zhang Huangyan was helpless. With Tokugawa Chienhime, it would not be easy to hide the affairs of Japan from Li Xiao.
"You were sick some time ago, Marshal. For the sake of your health, Mr. Sun said that nothing should disturb the Marshal. This time, we won a big victory, and I wanted to make the Marshal happy before I reported it to him."
"Look!" Li Xiao patted his chest: "My body bones are not that brittle. If you don't know, you think I have been deprived of my power."
Beads of sweat immediately broke out on Zhang Huangyan's forehead!
"Okay! Let's not talk about these things. Tomorrow morning I will meet with Tokugawa Katsuyori, and I will meet with Mouri Hidemoto in the afternoon. In the end, they have to do the things in the northwest. I want to use my interests in Java in exchange for them sending troops to the northwest.
Armed with the weapons of our Ming Dynasty, as long as these Japanese soldiers are trained and full of bushido spirit, they will burst out with great fighting power. In their hands, there will be only one name left in the world, Jungle.
.”
Zhang Huangyan was so excited that he trembled: "Commander, the Japanese are repeating this. If we arm them with our weapons, if the Japanese rebel in the future, then...! The consequences will be disastrous. For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, I ask the commander to take back his life."
"Haha! If you kill a dog, the dog will open its mouth and bite you. What's more, Zhungeer is a descendant of Canglang. Tell me, if all the Zhungere people are killed, how many people will die in Japan? These applications are good at fighting.
The samurai suffered heavy losses, so what could the Japanese country do again and again?"
"But the tougher the battle, the more troops can be tempered like refined steel. If the Japanese country has a strong army, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing for our Ming Dynasty."
"Mr. Zhang is overly worried! In this battle, the Jungar Mongols will be wiped out. The Japanese will also suffer heavy losses, no matter how heavy they are! I can guarantee you this."
As an old fox who has become a spirit, Zhang Huangyan immediately stopped talking. He felt that Li Xiao's method was a bit unethical, but between countries and nations, there is nothing so authentic.
"Okay! This is something to talk about later. Let Master Man go to Xining. Let him do whatever he wants. I only have one request, wipe Xining City off the map. With mountains of corpses, let Zang Zang
There is an eternal lesson for man.”
"promise!"
A small official in official uniform walked in with tea. Li Xiao thought this guy looked familiar.
"Xiao Zhan? Okay, you boy, you will wear a white coat when you come back from Jiangnan." Li Xiao looked up and down at this guy in the fifth-rank official uniform. He went from a small urban management captain to the current fifth-rank official with just a few words.
It took less than two years. This speed of improvement is definitely comparable to that of a helicopter.
"I would also like to thank the Marshal for his support. Without the Marshal's support back then, this villain would never be where he is today." Xiao Zhan put down his tea cup and bowed his head in front of Li Xiao.
"Don't say I promoted you, you still have to thank Mr. Zhang." Li Xiao turned around and glanced at Zhang Huangyan. He brought Xiao Zhan to Jiangnan. It seemed that he was successful in killing people in Jiangnan, and he was praised by the old fox.
"What's rare about this boy is that he has rules in his heart. If he follows the rules in everything, he will not make any big mistakes. When he was promoted, he also told the officials below that they should know the rules when encountering problems. They should not act according to their own whims once they have the power.
"Zhang Huangyan took the teacup and handed Li Xiao a cup with a smile.
"What a pity! Some people always think that they have power and don't act according to the rules." Thinking about the faces of some low-level officials, Li Xiao could only shake his head helplessly.
The country currently does not have enough talents to fill various positions, and it is inevitable that some people who are not qualified for their qualifications will occupy official positions. Moreover, this situation cannot be solved in a short time.
It seems that in Jiangnan now, the peasant movement is in full swing. There is even a tendency to kill people indiscriminately. The landowners who used to be proud and arrogant now don't say they behave with their tail between their legs. They even want to bury their heads in the ground, like ostriches.
alive.
To a certain extent, the farms and prisons where they were imprisoned actually played a role in protecting them. At least, there would be no random killings in prisons and farms.
"Overcorrection must be excessive! It is inevitable that some or many people will die in vain. But what we are breaking is a paralysis that has been in effect for more than two hundred years. It is very difficult to do it without bleeding! In the long run, this will
This bloodshed is beneficial to the entire Chinese nation. In order to allow future generations to live a good life, why not bear the charge of being a butcher."
"This title was originally supposed to be taken by a young man, but unfortunately a serious illness almost prevented me from being in Jiangnan. In this life, I will never go to Jiangnan in winter again. It feels even colder than Liaodong. A division with strong bones.
Unexpectedly, we were tortured by the Jiangnan epidemic and lost 30% of our combat strength. When Master Ao came back to see me a few days ago, he said that dozens of people had died of the disease.
Among them is a battalion commander with outstanding military exploits! In the future, it is better to use people from Jiangnan to handle affairs in Jiangnan." Thinking of the weather in Jiangnan, Li Xiao still had lingering fears.
"What the commander-in-chief said is reasonable. The Liao army can conquer the world. But after all, each place has its own climate and soil. When you reach the south of the Yangtze River, there will inevitably be times when you are not acclimatized to it. Speaking of this matter, I would like to mention it to the commander-in-chief.
Now that the Second Division is in Fujian, it only serves as a deterrent and for the defense of the southeastern coast. A good and powerful army was wasted in a place like Fujian. It is better to order them to expand the army in Fujian. Anyway, the clan fighting in Fujian has not stopped.
Pass.
Fujian has high mountains and dense forests, and there are many brave and ruthless people. However, these people are tough by nature and are not afraid of death in a fight. Moreover, these people are more familiar with the climate in the south. It is useless to ask the Second Division to recruit troops in Fujian.
In one year, we can pull out the second division."
"Fujian!" Li Xiao thought of the famous Qi Jiajun. The Qi Jiajun recruited soldiers from Wenzhou on the border of Fujian. Qi Jiguang described the local people as being tough, fighting without fear of death, and being born warriors.
In fact, most of the residents in Fujian, a mountainous country, have the toughness of mountain people. They have to climb mountains all year round and have developed a naturally good physique. In particular, the perennial clan fighting has made martial arts a common practice among Fujian people. The famous Southern Shaolin,
Just in Putian, Fujian.
These guys are all engaged in actual combat, and none of them are playing tricks. If they really do it, they are probably about the same as the spy company recruited by Cangzhou. When these people are organized, the combat effectiveness is no joke.
"That's okay. We won a big victory in the northwest. I guess the Mongols won't be able to attack for a while! Jiangnan will have production next year. We can use Jiangnan's money and food to form another division. In this way, our military strength will be looser.
.It just so happens that each division is about to implement the reorganization of the division and brigade system. Let's do it together! There are still not enough officers...!" Jiangnan is about to have output, and it will also be a huge amount of money and food.
Huguang is well versed in the world, and Su and Song are half the world. Jiangnan has always been a prosperous place, and with the money and food, it is no problem to form a new division. Li Xiao has long been irritated, and he only has four divisions that can fight. The rest
, can only be used as local garrison troops. If a war breaks out, Lanzhou is an example.
Compared with regular divisions, there is simply a huge difference between garrison divisions and regular divisions.
"Military!" The two people were talking happily, when suddenly a voice came from the door.
"You are resorting to militarism!" Sun Chengzong pointed at Li Xiao and Zhang Huangyan, with a taut look on his face.
Li Xiao hurried over to help him, but he didn't dare to make the old fox angry and have a stroke. He still had to handle the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty. If he fell, facing a mountain of memorials and official documents, Li Xiao would have died.
"Mr. Sun! Let's calm down first. Listen to me and explain the truth behind this." Li Xiao served tea and combed his back again. It was with great difficulty that he calmed down the old guy.
"Hmph! I only care about military expansion all day long, and don't look at the long-term decline of Jiangnan. How are the people living? If next year is a disaster year, you are still forced to collect taxes? Do you want to see the prosperous land of Jiangnan, and Yi
The tragedy of eating one’s own child?”
"You are always making excuses! If there is a disaster in the south of the Yangtze River next year, the court will naturally cut off money and food, and provide disaster relief. Today's Ming Dynasty is definitely far from being rich, but most places should be able to have enough food. No matter what
Is it potatoes or sweet potatoes? Although eating too much will cause gastric acid discomfort, it is always okay to eat a full person. You should always keep your heart in your stomach and you will never eat it by changing the food."
"Hmph!" After hearing Zhang Huangyan's words, Sun Chengzong let out a heavy "hmph" in his nose.
"Mr. Sun! What is the fastest way to get rich quickly in our Ming Dynasty?" Li Xiao asked, scratching his head.
"Hmph! Now that the war in the northwest has been decided, it is natural to recuperate and spend military expenses on people's livelihood." Although he has led soldiers before, his butt determines his head. Now behind Sun Chengzong is the entire civil servant group, and he must stand up for the civil servants.
.
"It's true that money is spent on people's livelihood to make people live better. But it is too slow to cultivate health and recuperate. It will take at least ten years for Ming Dynasty to recover. Ten years is too long, and we can only
Fight day and night.
In this world, there is nothing faster than robbing to get money. To be precise, it is not robbing money, but robbing all the supplies our Ming Dynasty needs.
If we are short of people for domestic construction, we can directly kidnap Javanese, Siamese, Burmese, and Khmer people. We can even go to black Africa and rob the black people there to come to our Ming Dynasty. Work as coolies in coal mines, blast rocks in iron mines, these jobs are
It's dangerous and heavy. If we hire people from Ming Dynasty, we will pay a huge amount of labor.
With these people, we don’t need to pay a penny, we only need to provide food every day. Who makes them unable to defeat us!
What’s more! You see, we need iron ore, and North Korea has very good iron ore. We need tungsten ore, and the northwest has very good tungsten ore. We need coal mine, and Mongolia has very rich coal reserves. We need all kinds of
All kinds of ores can be snatched from all over the world.
Force is a necessary condition to ensure that we can complete capital accumulation at the lowest cost. It is also something related to the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty!
You said the army wasted money, do the math. Last year alone, these stolen ores I mentioned brought huge profits to my Ming Dynasty. My Mr. Sun, these were all paid for by the hard workers in the mines.
After a man dies from exhaustion, he only has a straw mat to wrap himself around. The profits from various ores have long exceeded military expenditures by more than ten times.
These are just minerals, there are other things. For example, if you go out and take a look now, you can also eat fresh fruits in Beijing in winter. Bananas, kiwis, citrus, lychees, longans, longans...these are countless.
The development of our Ming Dynasty requires mountains of materials. Some of them we have, some of them we don’t have. No matter what we have or what we don’t have, we have to snatch it from other people’s land. All the materials in the world are
Only if it is used by us can hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty live a good life.
I bet you that as long as we continue to be militaristic like this, our Ming Dynasty will become the most developed country in the world. No one dares to look down on our Chinese sons and daughters when they walk outside. Foreigners who want to come to our Ming Dynasty must be strictly examined before issuing visas. China,
It will become a country that people all over the world look up to. Our Ming Dynasty will be prosperous and the people will live the safest and best life in the world.
These! We all need to use the guns in our hands and the cannons on the battleships to fight for it. For example, first go to the Arabs in the Middle East and pump the oil back. If an empire wants to develop, it will never be possible without energy." Li
The owl was frothing as he spoke, waving his hands like a convulsion, and impassioned like a mad dog.
"What the Marshal said is actually the simplest truth in the world. Robbery is faster than development. By using the money from robbery to subsidize development, our Ming Dynasty can indeed become the world's leader in one, uh... twenty years.
The most powerful country in the world." In order to praise Li Xiao, Zhang Huangyan also talked nonsense.
"Plunder other people's wealth and subsidize the people of our country. You are not afraid of the history books...!"
