Chapter 927: True Strength
Of course, he is not a luxury person, although he is the first person, but the maturity of his mind still allows himself to maintain extreme restraint in all aspects.
What's more, since I came here inexplicably, I am well aware of the theory of retribution and cause and effect, and I usually have extra constraints on my own behavior and standards.
Originally, according to normal development, now the Zhongtian King who conquered Jinling City, the Wulong Village led by him was specially for the Yangtze River basin to collect merchant ships. Stationed near the sea gate, the purpose is naturally self-evident.
As the absolute first commander of Wulong Village, the current situation of King Zhongtian in the Tang Dynasty can be said to be a great honor. Of course, now in Li Jing's heart, he is no longer just the leader of a bandit.
This is a general who can be like Bian Hao and Peng Shigao, and conquer cities. and the original positioning of the leader of the Yangtze River bandits, which was only specially formulated for the Zhongtian King. After all, Li Jing's usual level of extravagance has completely changed now.
No one knows how many people were set at the beginning of the establishment of Oolong Village. But for the pro-guard army of the warlords in general, the number of people in Wulong Village is not too large and conspicuous.
After all, like Zhou Xingfeng, the current ruler of Chu Land, the number of his guards in the capital has reached an astonishing 30,000 people. In comparison, Liu Jixing's Meichuan will not give people a flamboyant feeling.
However, these bandits in Wulong Village are all water elites recruited from all over the world, and after the experience of the Zhongtian King, they have summoned a group of eastern commanders to join. Today's Wulongzhai bandits can be said to be the elite of the Southern Tang Dynasty soldiers, and they are also special soldiers of amphibious operations.
Of course, he has not fought head-on with the princes' guards, and it is really difficult to comment on the real strength of Oolong Village as a bandit.
At the beginning, He Xiaoyao was ordered to set off from Chudi, and did not completely take away all the soldiers, but left a thousand soldiers to guard Haimen, which is the foundation of Meichuan Capital. Because Haimen is rich in pearls, as for Liu Jixing's favorite seafood, it is naturally indispensable.
People outside will naturally only see that Liu Jixing has set up a special team to serve him in order to covet food. This kind of luxury will naturally be criticized and questioned, but what Liu Jixing needs is this kind of effect, making people think that they have nothing to do.
In fact, only a few people really know that Liu Jixing established Meichuan to garrison Haimen, and another main reason is that the pearls produced here are the most pearls in the world. The value and use of pearls in this era can be said to be as important as gold and silver exchange currency. In order to keep his coffers income, and in order to maintain his huge expenses, Liu Jixing believes that he is an excellent developer, and naturally adopts a protective policy here.
In fact, many people can't find out, because the spread of news in this era is too slow, not to mention the underdevelopment of transportation, which also leads to many people not being able to see it with their own eyes. The high-profile protection of the imperial court not only made Haimen, a small market town of the day, develop rapidly and become a scale not inferior to a small county, but also solved the problem of food and clothing for countless people.
Although Liu Jixing sent someone to collect a large number of pearls, he also pretended to catch a large amount of seafood. In fact, Liu Jixing was not allowed to act privately, just like the ending said in history, leaving the lives of pearl divers at risk, blindly seeking results for the purpose. Instead, a large number of talents have been trained in the coastal areas, and these are specialized deep diving talents with good water quality in various coastal areas.
Such measures and decrees not only greatly encouraged the people's loyalty to the imperial court, but also gave these people a sense of belonging to their work and to the court of the Liu family in the Southern Han Dynasty. Liu Jixing also adopted a method for the first time in later generations, that is, to improve the civil service system of the imperial court.
First of all, a decree was implemented here, that is, these people who paid for the income of the imperial court were included in the same treatment as retired soldiers, that is, the imperial court was responsible for the policy of contributing funds to these people to provide for their old age or let their close relatives take up their posts. This not only greatly guarantees the stability of the people's families, but also makes the majority of the people more loyal to the court.
Although it may take a process for the government decree to be believed and adapted, the people near Haimen are now migrating from other places. Their participation made the local people also excited, and more people became more active in trying the imperial decree.
This is also a way to retain the compilation of Meichuan Capital, and it is also a way to cover up Liu Jixing's way of letting Meichuan Capital play a real role. Because He Xiaoyao was born in the navy since he was a child, he belongs to the leader of Liu Jixing's other strange army, a subordinate of the pirates of the four seas, known as Captain Jie Ke, and is a master who is particularly good at naval warfare.
Of course, the ministers who gradually understood Liu Jixing's strategy, more people thought of it, because the location of Haimen borders Fujian. Although Liu Jixing did not openly call for an attack on Fujian, he had already given a big warning to Fujian. However, Fujian is now nominally under the jurisdiction of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and if there is a strange army of Meichuan to guard Haimen, it is really a chess piece for Emperor Liu Jixing to deal with Fujian.
Regardless of Emperor Liu Jixing's original intentions, He Xiaoyao, who was born in the real navy and pretended to be a pirate, can be said to be the best choice for Haimen Meichuan. Because although Captain Ke was sent out by Liu Jixing, he is now the same as the Dragon King of the Four Seas. In order to have a better connection with Captain Karma's navy, Liu Jixing naturally chose He Xiaoyao.
In fact, Liu Jixing still has a little selfishness, and in order to collect seafood for Liu Jixing himself, this compilation must be kept in Haimen.
As for why Liu Jixing sent He Xiaoyao to Chu, in fact, there are no enterprising and capable generals in Lingnan, and Liu Jixing can only boldly cultivate these young generals with ideas. Whether they succeed or fail, it is a new attempt for Liu Jixing.
Sending a master of naval warfare into the inland rivers to fight the classic guerrilla warfare of later generations can be regarded as a surprise soldier from heaven, completely subverting everyone's thoughts. Liu Jixing naturally didn't dare to say to people that the worst plan to put He Xiaoyao into Chu was the same as when Guo Jing entered Chu Di.
What's more, today's Chudi Guojing is also a force, with his help and support, at least He Xiaoyao will not be alone. Now it seems that the outcome of this operation can not only avoid the speculation of the Lingnan ministers about their strategy, but also help Guo Jing's action unexpectedly.
Liu Jixing also knew the strategy of the great man at the beginning, and he was convinced of the worship of the great man. Nowadays, in this era of cold weapons, using the tactics of great men can be said to be one of the weapons to win a hundred battles.
