0928 Quietly expanding
Following the gangsters, the Intelligence Bureau sent a number of teams to go deep into various transportation arteries and areas suitable for farming, and selected some gentry with a bad reputation to start designing frames. It's old-fashioned, but it works.
Under normal circumstances, they are seducing the unfilial children of these large families to participate in gambling. When they owe more and more gambling debts, they will come to collect the debts. However, such methods are generally used to treat small and medium-sized landlords. For the big landlords and gentry, it was necessary to find another way.
Simply and rudely, he found the secret room in this family and stuffed a dragon robe, dragon boots and other things into it. and then buy the next person to go to the government to go to Gaomi.
There is also a miracle medicine for the charlatans who have been bribed to sell to the gentry to strengthen their health. In fact, those drugs are the viagra that Liu Pei brought from modern times!
These rich gentry have a group of wives and concubines, and naturally they need this magic medicine! And the demand is extremely high. After they take the bait, they will offer this magic stick that can refine medicine as a god.
Then it didn't take long for the officials and soldiers to rush in and tell them that this immortal master was from the White Lotus Sect, and by the way, they would behead their entire family! After these families are beheaded, the land will naturally be taken out and sold. The people from the Intelligence Bureau would step in and buy land on a large scale. These methods can be described as tried and tested.
After the owners of these lands changed, they began to recruit displaced people on a large scale. But if someone keeps an eye on them, they will find that although the number of displaced people they recruit is small, the major events continue. Judging from the capacity of their land, they have long been unable to accommodate so many people.
But the good thing is that no one is going to get into it. In fact, the displaced people who were recruited were secretly transferred to Southeast Asia. Only a small amount of it was left as a target for local reclamation.
In this way, Liu Pei obtained a large amount of land in Shandong and Henan, which could be used as a base for advancing and intelligence outlets. For Liu Pei, no matter how much food there is, is not enough. What's more, Liu Pei doesn't have any food reserves at all, so he has to find a lot of land to produce grain reserves.
Because Liu Pei felt that he was in the war to seize the whole country in the future
The question is not to win the war, but how to resettle the local victims after the war. This requires a huge amount of food! Therefore, Liu Pei must take precautions and start stockpiling supplies.
When Liu Pei was fighting at home, he was not idle overseas. The first thing was that he began to tear his face and attack Annan.
The reason is very simple, that is, the north and south sides of Annam actually made peace!
After a long war, both the north and the south of Annam were exhausted! Especially with the support of Liu Pei, this war was fought for one more year than in history. This has caused great confusion and damage to the economic and social stability of both sides.
What has done even more harm to these two countries is Liu Pei's plan to buy off the population. In the beginning, both countries only sold each other's prisoners of war to Liu Pei. Later, it was found that there were not enough prisoners of war, and then he began to capture the other party's civilians and sell them to Liu Pei.
As soon as this opening was opened, it was completely uncontrollable. You know, whether it's capturing prisoners of war or capturing the other side's civilians, you need to be involved in your own army. When the generals in the army found out that these civilians could be exchanged for silver and weapons, they began to use their brains to do it themselves, and under the temptation of the intelligence bureau, they either actively or passively participated in it.
When the two countries were tired, they found that their food reserves had reached an extremely dangerous point. What's even more frightening is that because of the loss of people, not many people have paid taxes to them. Therefore, the two sides invariably cut off human trade.
But the generals did it themselves! Previously they were able to exchange the population for a large amount of food and weapons, and even silver, and now let them stop, how is that possible?
In the past, it was just the state that interfered in this kind of thing, and they did not dare to move around. But they got in touch with the Intelligence Bureau when they handed over the population. Originally, the Intelligence Bureau also wanted to develop offline with them, and the two sides hit it off.
So the generals of both sides secretly crossed the border to arrest the people of the other side, and almost all the people in the border area were arrested! As the villagers fled farther and farther away, when it was difficult to catch them, they secretly attacked the villages in their own country and sent them all to the pirate ships.
So now this business has moved from the open side to the underground, forming an industrial chain. Generals large and small on both sides were involved. Only the lords of both sides do not know. Lords on both sides have found that the war and human trafficking have caused a serious loss of their own population. Therefore, for various reasons, the people on both sides could no longer fight at all and had to stop fighting.
But the development of Southeast Asia requires too many slaves, how could Fang Degang let go of this big source of slaves. So Fang Degang is trying to maintain this underground human trafficking route. But the lords of the two countries are not stupid, and they are already starting to clean up this human trafficking.
Therefore, after the national lord made a force, several human traffickers from each country who cooperated happily with the intelligence bureau were beheaded and displayed to the public, cutting off several lines.
However, Fang Degang was unwilling to lose this source of slaves, so he immediately sent the fleet out after applying for Liu Pei's consent.
After three or four naval battles, there was nothing left of the fleets of the north and south of Annam, except for fishing boats! Get the right to control the sea, and then you can land directly and start arresting people! And with the cooperation of various stakeholders, the results are remarkable. So for a while, there was a lot of noise on the coastline of Annam, and people fled inland.
The reason why Liu Pei agreed to do this was to eliminate the war potential of the two families in the south and the south. Now Liu Pei can't swallow Annan, but he can continue to be injured and bleed. When Liu Pei's team grows in the future, it will no longer be a problem to take Annan again.
At the same time, with large sums of money being thrown down, new troops are taking shape. However, because of the sufficient time, all soldiers had to go through four months of training in the boot camp before being sent into battle.
It is estimated that by the end of the year, about 20,000 troops will be formally formed. The remaining 10,000 people will be formed in the first half of the following year.
At the same time, a 30,000-strong Foreign Legion was formed. The main source of the population of the Foreign Legion is still mainly the Japanese people. However, their training time is not that long, only a short month for them to learn how to fight, and then they will be pushed into battle. They will learn how to fight in battle.
