Chapter 347: The End of the World
Finally, after ten days of intense construction, in the efforts of nearly 3,000 native people and strong men under the circumference of 5 miles of the "Tianya City" of the city wall was built, if the standard of the city, this city wall built with wooden pillars and rammed earth, is not worth mentioning at all, no matter from any point of view, the city wall is not more than three meters high, far from the "majestic", even if it draws on the design of the fortress, there are four more "fortress horse faces" on all sides, this city can not be compared with the real city. However, it was not easy to build such a "city" in ten days, and to build several houses in it.
With it, there will also be a Ming stronghold in Nanyang, whether this stronghold will be its own in the future, or Ming's, one thing is for sure, this time the "dragon" will never withdraw its minions from Nanyang.
The city walls were built, and the houses were built, but the houses were simple bamboo buildings.
In the bamboo building, sitting at the table, Shi Yiwen looked at a few people at the table.
Li Feng, Nurhahe, Murqi, Zhang Dekun, they all have a common identity - the slave of the Shi family, oh, and Li Tianci, now he has become the "magistrate" of Nantianmen, even if there is no appointment from the imperial court, but according to the power given to him by the imperial court, he can directly appoint local officials below the fifth grade, and only need to report to the imperial court after returning to Beijing.
"Cidanda, in the future, this Nantianmen will depend on you."
Personally poured a glass of wine for Li Tianci, Shi Yiwen said with a serious expression.
"In the future, this is the foundation of Daming's foothold in Nanyang, and it is also the foundation of my Nanyang Propaganda Division!"
Nanyang Propaganda Department, although it has not yet been established, but according to the agreement reached between Shi Yiwen and Zhang Juzheng, he will definitely become the Nanyang Propaganda Envoy, and this position is hereditary! In other words, this "wooden city" will be his "royal city".
"Please rest assured that the small one will live up to the cultivation of the directorate!"
For Li Tianci, becoming the "Governor of Nantianmen" is something he has never thought about, even if this magistrate is "Tuzhi County", it also means that he is the "official" of the Ming Dynasty, which is a great honor for the Li family!
"Cidan, in the future, you are here, pay attention to recruiting immigrants to reclaim and colonize, even if the natives are recruited, it doesn't matter, and you have to coordinate the relationship with the chieftain, you came out of the Johor royal court, you know the situation there very well, and you also know that he wants to use us to protect himself, use the Ming Dynasty to fight against Aceh, you have to make full use of the contradictions between them to expand, our influence, of course, in recent years, we have to stand firm first, and then consider other issues......"
After telling Li Tianci one by one, Shi Yiwen set his eyes on the other four people, they are all his own house slaves and escorts, now that Wen has it, who will leave the martial arts?
After the master's eyes fell on himself, Nurhachi couldn't help but puff up his chest, he had already guessed that the master's plan must be to leave one person to lead the guards—now there were not only 30 soldiers recruited from sailors, but also 300 native soldiers in the city. If you become their leader...... Just as Nurhachi was thinking, the voice of his master reached his ears.
"Li Feng, you and Murqi stay, one of you is the captain, the other is the vice-captain, the commander of the city guards, remember, everything must be obeyed by Li Zhixian, you know?"
"Yes, sir!"
Li Feng, who had never thought that such a good thing would come to his head, was extremely excited when he heard it, even if he was ignorant, he knew that this was an opportunity to get ahead. Even if he was left in Nantianmen, there was nothing, not just because he was the slave of the Shi family, but because he knew from the head of the family that the Nanyang Xuanwei Division would be the family business of the Shi family in the future, and now that he has become the captain of the escort team, doesn't this mean that he will be the master's most trusted confidant in the future? is even the "founding father" in the play.
The master's arrangement made Nurhachi's heart swell with dissatisfaction, why didn't the master consider himself? What is his Li Feng's ability? Isn't it just a coal sunspot?
Although his dissatisfaction was fleeting, or still fell in Shi Yiwen's eyes, since he was going to be put into the house and raised in captivity, he has been "boiling eagles" Shi Yiwen, sneering in his heart, and said quietly.
"Li Feng, you have studied from Qi Junmen for a while, you must implement what you have learned in the ranks, these three hundred people are the foundation of whether the Nanyang Propaganda Division can gain a foothold in Nanyang, understand?"
It didn't seem to be an explanation, but Nurhachi still heard the reason why the master chose Li Feng, Li Feng was indeed nothing, but he was sent to Qi Jiguang to study for a few months.
He can train soldiers!
This is the reason why Shi Yiwen chose Li Feng, the reason why he wanted to send Li Feng and others to Qi Jiguang was to train his family, and secondly, it was also out of the needs of overseas trade, after all, this era is the era of doing business with a sword, without the escort of force, it will only become a meal on the plate of others in the end. Now it comes in handy. As for Nurhachi, it's better for this hound to stay by his side as a watchdog! This dog needs to be trained for a few more years, and when the time comes, it will definitely become a help for him to gain a foothold in Nanyang.
Finally, when it was time to leave home, the next day, the two clippers "New Hope" and "Xintiandi" slowly sailed away from the estuary under the tow of the sampan rowed by the sailors.
It was here that the salute sounded, several cannons on the city wall rang out one after another, and the two ships that were about to return north also salute one after another.
Driven by the wind, the ships with full sails slowly sailed into the deep sea, and gradually the Nantianmen disappeared from their sight. And Edwin still stood there quietly, staring at the city and land that could no longer be seen.
"The general secretary has made a great contribution to my Ming this time!"
Li Duyi walked to the side of the gunwale, looked at Shi Yiwen and said.
"After returning to the capital, the people of the world will be surprised by the general department's efforts to expand the territory, and it can open up hundreds of miles without spending a single soldier, which is something that has never been done before or after......"
Is there no one to come?
Looking at Li Duyi with a smile, Shi Yiwen shook his head and said.
"There will be no one who will come later, Shi is just a beginning, in fact, as long as I am willing, in this world, everywhere is a place for me to take and occupy! It is...... There are too few people! ”
There are too few people......
While sighing, Shi Yiwen couldn't help but think of China, and he didn't know what the situation was over there now, whether he had prepared everything for himself......
