[0426 Opened a cement factory in Jiannu site]
But Lin Wenbiao knows the personality of the president, once he has made up his mind, he will generally not change it, and if he talks too much, it will make the president angry.
When President Wei proposed this long-term city wall repair plan from Lianyun Island, Gaizhou, Xiuyan, Xuancheng to Zhenjiang, in fact, everyone under President Wei had such a completely unreliable feeling.
But none of them objected, because there were many prerequisites that had to be fulfilled in order to complete the plan, and they felt that none of them could be fulfilled. First of all, it is very funny and impossible to get a population of several million, to reclaim wasteland, and to carry out large-scale construction in the areas controlled by Jiannu.
But now that President Wei has taken everyone to make a shadow little by little, Lin Wenbiao objected.
Lin Wenbiao is really starting to be scared now, afraid that the president will invest more in this plan, and when the time comes, the greater the loss, just talking about doing business with Jiannu in private and helping Jiannu replenish supplies, which is very likely to help Jiannu win Liaodong and Dongjiang.
After all, Jiannu's combat power is there.
President Wei was not worried at all: "I know what you are afraid of, I am afraid that after Jiannu gets our help, he will defeat the Dongjiang River and Liaodong in one fell swoop, and he will be able to conquer the land outside the border, right?" Don't worry about it at all. ”
Wei Bao smiled before continuing: "When Liaodong and Dongjiang can't bear it, it's just right that our Heaven and Earth Society will also sell military supplies to them!" Moreover, Liaodong lost the internal affairs, although the national strength of the Ming Dynasty was weak at this time, the imperial court would definitely not let Jiannu fight to Shanhaiguan! Also, the Dongjiang River retreats, and North Korea, you can hide on the island, hide in the hinterland of North Korea, as long as Mao Wenlong does not die, the Dongjiang Army will never collapse! Even if the Dongjiang Army and the Liaodong Army were all cleaned up by Jiannu, as well as Mo Nan and North Korea, you should have such a little strength as Jiannu, it is so easy to fight on all sides, and they all win? Chahar Lingdan Khan of Monan and Li Liang, the king of Joseon, are not stupid and will not watch Jiannu grow big in one fell swoop. ”
The reason why Wei Bao dared to say this with confidence was because in the original history, it was not until a few years after Mao Wenlong's death that the Dongjiang Army perished because of its defection to the enemy, and after the Dongjiang Army died, Korea was annexed by Jiannu! And the Chahar Department of Monan has been fighting back and forth with Jiannu for eight years! If it weren't for the fact that Lin Dan Khan was too violent and his political literacy was poor, just one Mo Nan would not be able to solve it by Jiannu. And Liaodong has persisted until the collapse of Daming, and Shanhaiguan is still in the hands of Daming!
That's why Wei Bao dared to play like this, this is the history that Wei Bao is familiar with, but there is no way to explain it to the people under him.
"Even if it can be as Gongzi said, Jiannu can't defeat Liaodong and Dongjiang, but if Daming learns that we have such dealings with Jiannu in private, I'm afraid that Gongzi will be criticized." Lin Wenbiao reminded.
"Don't worry, didn't I just say that? Now the biggest one in Liaodong is my teacher! I am confident that I will convince Lord Sun Chengzong! As long as Master Sun Chengzong is still in office within this year, he will be able to keep me! Wei Bao laughed.
"What if Lord Sun Chengzong leaves? In the past few years, the position of Jiliao Governor has changed like a marquee. Lin Wenbiao said.
"As long as you don't leave this year!" Wei Bao said indifferently: "Before this winter, if you have the ability to build the city walls from Lianyun Island, Gaizhou to Xiuyan, Xuancheng, and Zhenjiang according to what I said, the entire southern Liaoning will be mine, who will dare to touch me at that time?" Ming Ting also has to look at my face and act! ”
When Lin Wenbiao and Lai Tag heard this, they were silent for a while, and they didn't know where the president's confidence came from? Are you so sure that you can take the fortified cities of Gaizhou, Xiuyan, Xuancheng, and Zhenjiang? Moreover, there are a large number of Jiannu soldiers and horses in Fuzhou, which are like the tip of a bayonet against the Beixunkou and the gateway to Jinzhou City. Should you think about the war situation in Fuzhou right now? Instead of directly setting your sights on the large area of land in Gaizhou behind Fuzhou?
Wei Bao ignored whether the two of them could figure it out, looked at the map, waved his hand at the two and said, "If you understand the meaning, go down on an errand." When the trade in Gaizhou is on the right track, I will immediately go to Liaodong! Lin Wenbiao, you asked our people to prepare a fast boat for me along the coast of Gaizhou, and I will go directly to Jinzhou in the near future. Lord Sun Chengzong should be in Jinzhou now. ”
"Yes, President." Lin Wenbiao promised: "The boat is easy to handle." But Jinzhou City is Zu Dashou's territory, if the president goes like this, aren't you afraid that Zu Dashou will be unfavorable to the president? ”
"He dares, I am now a student of Lord Sun Chengzong, and I don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, unless he wants to tear his face with Lord Sun Chengzong." Wei Bao laughed.
Lin Wenbiao nodded, thinking about it, and then signaled that Lai Tag, who still wanted to persuade the president, to go out and do things first, and the plan that the president had identified would generally not be changed.
"Manager Lin, is it really feasible for the president to do this? Now that we occupy southern Liaoning, as long as we hold Jinzhou City and Lushunkou, whether we are trading with Jiannu or going to North Korea to do business in the future, we will not be worried, it is a very good situation. But such a big move by the president is too risky! In my opinion, if the president wants to build a city, it is better to build it from Beixunkou to Hongzui Fort, and directly enclose the entire Jinzhou City area and the Lushunkou area, in that case, it is already foolproof. Rettag said.
"You didn't say it just now, what's the use of telling me now?" Lin Wenbiao said: "However, it's useless for you to say it, that's what the president planned to do, and he only changed his plan recently." ”
"Does the president think that Jin Ren is stupid and so foolish? I think they are all very shrewd, and the golden soldiers are also very combative. I am afraid that the president has miscalculated the strength of the enemy and the enemy. Rettag sighed.
"It's not entirely unreasonable for the president to do this. If you want to build a city wall from Beixunkou to Hongzui Fort, such a big move, it is impossible for Jin Bing not to find out! When the time comes, we will definitely turn the spearhead around and use the main force to attack us! How else can we repair the city? If you want to win the time for craftsmen to build the city, only the treasure army will fight all the way to the banks of the Taizi River, so that you can have time and place to repair the city! If you don't defeat the Jin soldiers, you can't do it. Lin Wenbiao said: "Although I am also worried, the president takes everyone on the right path every step of the way!" Never defeated! What the president says, let's execute! ”
Lai Tag nodded: "What Steward Lin said is right!" No matter how sure we are, since the president has already indicated how to go, we have to go through the sea of swords and fire! ”
The two of them discussed a few words, and immediately arranged for the transportation of grain and cloth from southern Liaoning, and organized a fleet to go to Weijiazhuang to transport equipment for making arrows and steam engines. Only by opening a factory in Yongning can we quickly supply Jiannu and quickly get the Han people in Jiannu's territory to southern Liaoning.
The speed at which the DSC disseminates information is very fast, and the administrative structure of the entire Tiandi Association is also very efficient.
Although the administrative organization of the Tiandihui in Liaonan in Beixunkou received the order sent back by the president, it was also suspicious, but the order was stamped with the president's seal and explained that it was a dead order.
Wang Qiuya was worried alone in Beixunkou, originally the president said that she would return in two days, but she didn't come back for many days, and she sent back this kind of order, which made her anxious.
In Fuzhou, Liu Xingzuo, General Nahai, Wang Bing and others also quickly learned of the Great Khan's decision to cooperate with the Heaven and Earth Society.
While the Jiannu officials in Fuzhou were surprised, they quickly reversed their minds and began to contact the Tiandihui in southern Liaoning, which made the human trafficking in Fuzhou immediately boom.
There are not many Liao people in the Fuzhou area, and when they heard that they went to southern Liaoning, they could no longer be bullied by Jiannu, and heaven and earth would return them to settle down with silver and food to eat, how could there be people who did not leave? Even the landlords, large and small, followed and ran to southern Liaoning.
All of a sudden, there was a harmonious and harmonious atmosphere at the junction of southern Liaoning and the area controlled by Jiannu, and the two sides were like relatives, and the exchanges became closer.
At the same time, Zu Dashou of Liaodong and Mao Wenlong of Dongjiang were still organizing manpower and actively fighting against Jiannu.
The Dongjiang side was all on the defensive, and Jiannu was on the offensive.
On the Liaodong side, Zu Dashou divided the thousands of elite Liaodong troops into three routes, constantly attacked and harassed Jiannu, and made a posture of advancing to Yizhou and Guangning under the control of Jiannu.
Zu Dashou was anxious to prove to the imperial court that the local soldiers and horses in Liaodong were the main force against Jiannu, and Dongjiang Mao Wenlong was useless, but he didn't dare to touch Jiannu, this state was very much like a person taking an itch and scratching it, rather than directly scratching it with his hands. Keep trying to attack, Jiannu came, they ran, Jiannu left, they stuck it again.
After a few times, Nurhachi did not increase the number of troops in Yizhou and Guangning, and still only left a few thousand traitor troops to defend the city, no matter how the Liaodong army played, ignoring them, still focusing on attacking Mao Wenlong, wanting to drive all the Dongjiang troops back to Phi Island.
Five days later, Raytag delivered the first batch of supplies to Hunta on time!
Dardai is also there, and Daldai is anxious to see the condition of the goods of the Tiandihui, so he has been staying in Gaizhou City for the past few days.
"General, the number is right, the grain is in good condition, the cloth is in good condition, the arrows are sturdy, much better than the locally made ones, and their arrows, each one is like a twin, all are exactly the same, it's really strange." One of the officers in charge of inspecting the supplies reported to Hunta and Dardai after inspecting all the supplies sent by Rattag's men.
Hunta nodded: "Got it, you go down." ”
"Yes, General." After saluting, the governor bowed and retreated.
"Now it's okay, I'm afraid that these people won't be able to get out of the things, in that case, the Great Khan will definitely blame! As long as they can come up with the materials that meet our requirements, the rest of the matter is none of our business! Ha ha. Dardai said happily to Hunta .
"So what now? We have to follow the prior agreement and give them the strong Liaomin. "Hunta Road.
"Of course, Hermes-Epitek is like a pig and a dog, just give it to them! Anyway, we don't lack it, which trip to Liaodong doesn't loot a lot of it? Moreover, when the Great Khan crushes Liaodong and Dongjiang, and then subdues Liaonan in one fell swoop, when the time comes, how many people in the past will still be ours. Daldai laughed.
"Anyway, I still can't figure it out, what do these Liaonan businessmen want to do? Don't you want to take refuge in our Dajin country? Otherwise, you don't have to help us so much, right? "Hunta Road.
"You're right, Han people with a little bit of brains should understand that sooner or later, Guanwai will be swallowed up by the Great Khan! If you get a name in Dajin as soon as possible, you will get an official and a half-job in the future, and you will have a huge industry, which is not a hundred times stronger than in the Ming Dynasty? Daldai laughed.
While the two were talking, the soldiers of the command office came to report that Lai Tag had asked to see him.
Dar Dai was overjoyed when he heard this, and whispered to Hun Ta: "Congratulations to my brother, the business is done, this person must have come to please my brother!" Brother's fortune is coming! ”
"Or do you want to have less contact with these Liaonan businessmen in private?" Hun Ta said uneasily: "I am no longer at ease when I do business with Ming people like this." ”
"Why don't you feel at ease? It's all a matter of sweating too much. Really, let someone come and see you. Dardai urged.
Hunta had no choice but to say to the soldiers, "Let him in!" ”
"Yes, General." The soldier bowed in agreement, and went down.
A few minutes later, Retag came to see Hunta with two of his retinue, and when he saw that Dardai was also there, he said happily: "Hello General Hunta, good General Daldai, our business is going so well, I have come to invite the two generals to drink." By the way, when will the Q&A be given to our people? ”
"I'll give you a ticket to take you from the slave market." Hunta said: "You don't need to drink the wine. ”
"Alas, brother, since Lai is in charge of affairs, it doesn't hurt to drink." Dardai laughed.
Lai Tag said happily: "Thank you two generals for appreciating the light, I have already booked a good table at the largest restaurant in Gaizhou City." I wonder if the two generals are empty now? ”
"Free! When my brother gives you a ticket, it's over! "Dar Dai helps Hun Ta to be the master.
Hunta is a cautious person, and when Dar Dai is in charge, he has to nod helplessly.
"Haha, isn't that right? What a simple thing, since we are all in a cooperative relationship, we will be friends in the future. Dardai smiled and said, "Lai is in charge, come, sit down, don't stand all the time." ”
Lai Tag hurriedly smiled and said, "How dare you, in front of the generals, where is the place where I sit as a common man." ”
"Sit down, are you still standing after a drink?" Dardai laughed.
Reitag nodded and smiled, "Thank you, General." Only then did he sit down, and at the same time as he sat down, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve pocket, with more than 1,000 taels of silver, two and one added five, and said with a smile: "I came in a hurry, and I didn't prepare any gifts, this is a little caution on our part of the Heaven and Earth Society, I hope that the two generals will not be too little, if there are no two generals to support, our Heaven and Earth Society will not have the opportunity to do business with Dajin Kingdom." ”
Hunta didn't reach out to take it, but Dardai calmly put the silver ticket handed over by Ritag into his sleeve pocket, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Steward Lai is too polite. Dardai said, and gave what Lai Tag was holding to Hunta, and the stack of silver tickets that Hunta did not take also took and stuffed it into Hunta's hand: "Brother, this is a piece of the heart of the other company, you can take it." It's a normal human relationship. ”
"That's right, it's a normal exchange of favors, the quality and quantity of the goods we give are real, never a little worse, this is by no means a bribe of silver, we will do business with Dajin Kingdom, but they are all sincere." Retag hurriedly laughed.
"I know, we have a special inspection officer, and they have already told us that the goods of your Heaven and Earth Society are not in bad condition." Dardai laughed.
Hun Ta held a stack of silver tickets and looked at it with his eyes, at least seven or eight hundred taels of silver! After hesitating, he still slipped into his sleeve pocket.
At this time, the atmosphere of the three of them became more harmonious, and after Hunta issued a ticket to mention people, Hun Ta and Dar Dai went to the largest restaurant in the city with Lai Tag for a banquet.
After receiving the money, they are friends, and they look at each other, and they are very pleasing to the eye.
"Lai is in charge, don't be restrained, drink more." Dardai said with a smile: "I will ask someone to help you contact the garrison generals in Haizhou, Anshan, Liaoyang and other places today, and in the future, how many people do you want!" ”
"Thank you general, then I want to toast the general with a glass of wine." Rettag hurriedly got up and thanked him.
"You're a Mongol, aren't you? Aren't you Mongols supposed to drink wine in big bowls? How to get it the same as the Han people, come on, it's all replaced with a big bowl. Dardai said happily.
Dardai is so happy, because he has never taken so much silver at one time so justifiably, doing business with Liaodong merchants, and doing business with Jin merchants in Guannei, which are all the business of Jinting's high-level officials, and there is nothing to do with their subordinates at all.
Moreover, to make the Han people strong and give it to the Heaven and Earth Society, this is a matter that is not registered and does not need to be recorded, and most of the silver will fall into the pockets of their local garrison generals, why not?
In the future, it is possible to exchange part of the population trade for military supplies, and part of it for real silver into the pocket, anyway, no one knows how much population they gave to southern Liaoning.
"I am Mongolian, but I have lived with Han people since I was a child, my mother is Mongolian, and my father is Han." Rettag explained: "I don't dare to compare my alcohol consumption with the two generals, but if the general is interested, the villain will sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman." ”
"Okay, happy." Dardai smiled: "Come on, change it all to a big bowl." ”
All of a sudden, the atmosphere is more warm, when the wine is hot, even the Hun Pagoda is also brought to the interest of the high, the bitter cold place outside the Guan, most people who live here all the year round can drink, and drinking is the most intimate activity between men.
The three of them called themselves brothers, and Hunta had already thrown the general's shelf aside.
Lai Tag took the opportunity to say: "Two generals, I have an idea, do you think it can be done?" I want to open a larger workshop in Gaizhou, specializing in the production of road construction materials, and put it on the edge of Yongning, what do you think? ”
"Producing materials for road repairs?" Hunta was puzzled.
"Steward Lai, do you want to take over the road construction work in Fuzhou and Gaizhou? Okay, that's a good thing! This kind of thankless work, we are worried that we can't find anyone to do! Dardai immediately understood.
"You're going to do the road work? There's nothing to be done with that job. Hunta reminded: "The yellow mud and gravel were compacted, and a heavy rain destroyed more than half!" I won't tell you anything, this is what our court built in order to facilitate the use of troops in southern Liaoning in the future! If you do this job, I don't know what your court will think if it finds out. ”
Daldai squinted at Rattag to see what Rattag said, and Daldai knew that Hunta was testing the other party.
When Lai Tag heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "What kind of roads do you need to build when the Dajin Kingdom uses troops against southern Liaoning?" Tens of thousands of iron horsemen have run over, and Liaonan still doesn't want to surrender? Since we dare to go to southern Liaoning to make a living, and dare to do business with the Dajin country, in fact, we have already thought about it, and when the Dajin country occupies southern Liaoning, we are all obedient people of the Dajin country. When the time comes, the two generals will think of pulling it out and making a flag for our son-in-law and my family, so that we can also be masters. ”
"Haha, it's easy to say! These things, as long as enough money is used to dredge and dot up, it is not a difficult matter. Dar Dai immediately took a big bag and said: "Okay, my road to Yaozhou will be repaired by your Heaven and Earth Society in the future, and all the silver will be given to you according to the silver allocated to us by the Great Khan, which is not short of you at all!" If it rains heavily and the road is washed away, rest and give you that part of the money. ”
Hearing this, Raytag was overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up and bowed to Dardai: "Thank you, general, don't worry, you use yellow mud and gravel to press the road, so you are afraid of heavy rain, the materials we use are very strong, once repaired, it will be more than a hundred times stronger than the road you built!" ”
"Oh? That's good. Hunta was also moved when he heard this: "What about the cost?" We can only give as much silver as we want, and we can't give you more money at all. ”
"The cost is according to the original cost, we don't want a penny of silver, mainly to make friends with people from all over the world, and everyone makes friends. The road has been repaired, and everyone knows that it will be repaired by our Liaonan Heaven and Earth. Lai Tag smiled: "In this case, the Great Khan should also be able to see the credit of our son-in-law in building the road, right?" ”
"You can see it, don't worry!" Hunta was overjoyed: "I can reply to you now, you want to open a factory, you are ready, you can open it as you want!" ”
"Rejoice! Unexpectedly, Steward Lai solved a big problem for us. Dardai also said happily: "Don't worry, I can also take care of this!" Wait a minute, I'll have someone contact the garrison generals in Haizhou, Anshan, and Liaoyang, and our roads will all be repaired by your Heaven and Earth Society!" In the future, your heaven and earth will do business anywhere on the south bank of the Taizi River, and it will be unimpeded! ”
There is a reason why Dar Dai and Hunta are so happy, from a section of the Taizi River to Fuzhou City, the road is very long, and the quality of the road is not good, it is often damaged by natural disasters, even if there are no natural disasters, people walk too much, it will be destroyed.
If someone helps them build roads, they would rather not have to pay for it, and they will have peace of mind. Moreover, the money for road repairs is small money, and their main source is to report from time to time to repair damaged road sections, so that they can get a lot of money, and I heard that Reitag said that the roads they built will not be broken, wouldn't it be better? Later, the silver reported for repair can all fall into the pocket.
Lai Tag was overjoyed and hurriedly picked up the wine bowl: "Then I should really give a bowl of wine to the two generals." ”
Originally, Laitag received the task assigned by President Wei to contact the Jiannu officials to open a factory in the north of Yongning, but he thought it would be very troublesome, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.
"Hehe, don't worry, as long as you do business in a proper manner, don't sabotage, and don't go against my Dajin Kingdom like those bad guys, and everyone spends money when you make money!" Dardai said happily.
"Yes, what's the matter, General Dardai is supporting you." Hunta smiled: "General Dardai is a red man in front of the Great Khan. ”
"Brother, don't say that, you're the red man in front of the Great Khan, right?" Dardai laughed.
"The two generals are both red men in front of the Great Khan, and I am relieved to have two generals to support me." Rettag flattered and laughed.
"Brother, hurry up and tell you what kind of Wei Gongzi, hurry up and open the factory! If he can really build a good road, his credit is too great! If there had been a good road last time, Jinzhou City would have been the Dajin Imperial Court a long time ago. Daldai laughed.
Hunta also happily hugged Rettag's shoulder: "Brother, I was unkind to you at the beginning, and the matter is over, you won't be angry, right?" ”
"General, what are you talking about? I'm from Han territory, you should be cautious, it's too normal. Rest assured, the two generals, I will open the workshop in a few days! It's just that the site may be larger. Reitag laughed.
"It's okay, you can make it as big as you like, anyway, Yongning is desolate and deadly, you just make it as big as Gaizhou City, it's okay." Hunta smiled: "Here, I am in charge!" ”
"Thank you, General!" Rettag hurriedly toasted again.
The atmosphere of this meal was so good that it was drunk until mid-afternoon, and the three of them were drunk. Lai Tag kept three points sober, and before the feast was over, urged Hunta and Dardai not to forget to promise themselves.
Hunta and Dardai were also very powerful, and at that time, they called Cheng Zheng and issued an official letter, which decided the matter of allocating land for Raita to build a large workshop. Dardai also asked people to contact the garrison generals in Fuzhou, Haizhou, Anshan, Liaoyang and other places in front of Lai Tag, and asked them to hand over the work of road construction to the Heaven and Earth Society.
At the end of the banquet, Lai Tag sent away Hunta and Dardai, picked it with his hands, spit out most of the wine, washed his cold face again, sobered up a little, and hurriedly asked people to connect with Lin Wenbiao, he wanted to personally send the news to Lin Wenbiao and the president, knowing that the president was in a hurry, and the matter here was done, and the president must be let know immediately.
President Wei has not been idle these days, it is more convenient to collect intelligence on Jiannu's territory, he has more information at hand, and he also goes out for a walk from time to time to carefully absorb and understand the various information on Jiannu's side. Political, economic, military aspects.
