"More than 3,100 people, exactly divided into six battalions, should be replaced by one, two, three, four, five, and six numbers." Xu Zixian said to Qin Dongyang and Zhang Huchen: "When they pass the training, they will be qualified to give the flag after half a year, and they will officially become a member of the first battalion of regimental training." ”

Qin Dongyang and Zhang Huchen both hugged their fists: "Yes, Junhou." ”

Now there are three battalions in the regimental training, and the three battalions of Zhongxinyi are led by Xu Zixian, Ge family brothers, Qin Dongyang and others.

In the future, there will be two to three battalions of water battalions, which will be organized into one battalion of infantry battalions, plus a cavalry battalion of the capital.

It is more likely that a special baggage battalion will be formed.

All this is still to be done in the future, at least at the current stage, the number of training personnel in the Nan'an regiment should not exceed 3,000, so most of the practice is to form three more battalions at most, one infantry battalion, and two sailor battalions.

When he walked to the camp gate, Xu Ming waited with a lantern, and greeted Xu Zixian and said: "Master Hou, there is a man named Luo Fangbo who asked to see him in the other courtyard, Kong Senjun said that he has a valuable status, and now he is talking with him, and it has been a while." ”

"Luo Fangbo?" Xu Zixian's news channels are still quite lagging behind, and Jin Jian has also set up intelligence stations in Fuzhou and other places, but most of them are collected from the news transmitted by various yamen and officials' private residences.

Waiting for Jin Jian's people to receive the wind, I am afraid that there are already many powerful people on Fujian Road who know the news.

From here, it can be seen that Xu Zixian's current foundation is too shallow, not to mention King Qi and King Zhao, as well as Lin Douyao and others, even if it is the Marquis of Changwen's Mansion, there must be more source channels than Xu Zixian, and it is accurate.

There are many protégés and former officials of the Changwen Marquis Mansion in Beijing and all walks of life, many of them are current officials, and they have many opportunities to receive high-level information, once there is a need to pass it on, a letter, send a clever servant to send a letter over, a few words of letters, you can pass on important news, and it is also light and light, there is no need for Xu Zixian to be so vicious, specially allocate thousands of dollars to come out, and set up a special intelligence agency to do such a thing.

However, Xu Zixian is still full of confidence in the future of Si Wendu, and in the future, under Si Wendu, there will be the Jing'an Division, which is dedicated to internally, and the Military Strategy Department, which specializes in analyzing the intelligence of all parties and considering a lot of intelligence at the strategic level. The Military Intelligence Department is responsible for spying on foreign intelligence.

As long as we continue to invest financial resources and important talents, sooner or later, the department will grow into a towering giant tree, from the current peddler pawn to officials, generals, internal servants, three religions and nine streams, all have eyes and ears, and have unique intelligence collection, transmission, and summary of various laws.

Of course, the current Siwendu is still very weak, but if a seedling is never planted, then it will always be just an idea, and it will not be able to really grow.

"It's the son of Lan Fangguo." Fang Shaoqun suddenly remembered who Luo Fangbo was, and immediately chuckled lightly and said, "In terms of identity, he is indeed above the prince. Although Lanfang is a small state, it also has a population of tens of millions, an income of tens of millions a year, and tens of thousands of strong soldiers and sailors, Luo Fangbo is the son of Luo Yuzhang, and it has been almost ten years since he was canonized. Three years ago, he had traveled from Fuzhou to Beijing, and suggested that the Great Wei Dynasty would be full of thorns, and his country and the Three Buddhas were willing to give 100,000 taels of gold as military funds, but the imperial court still refused. ”

"One hundred thousand taels of gold......" Ge Da, who came not far away, the two Ge brothers heard it, Ge Erleng was stunned, and said, "The imperial court can also give it?" ”

"This 100,000 is hot, I can't hold it." Ge Cunzhong grinned and said: "One hundred thousand gold, which is worth several million yuan, but if you want to take this 100,000, the imperial court has to pay tens of millions of dollars to set up a water division first, think about it." ”

"Don't sweep your own pirates? Haijiang ignored? Ge Er said disdainfully: "It's really a matter of caring about the head and tail." ”

Xu Zi knew first that if he wanted to ask these people to play and set up the Longmen Array, and then make a pot of tea, he was afraid that he would be able to pull it until dawn. Cutting off their conversation with a smile, the other party Shaoqun said: "Feng Qi thinks this person is coming, or is it for the sake of the water master?" ”

"Yes, and more urgently." Fang Shaoqun was the one who followed Liu Zhiyuan in the center, and he knew a lot about many things, and said at the moment: "The last time it was unsuccessful, this time Luo Fangbo invited him to make a pilgrimage from Beijing, and the imperial court simply refused his invitation. ”

"The six-year period has not yet arrived, and it is not in accordance with the law for him to come."

The Great Wei was more practical in foreign trade, and did not give much in return to the tributary countries that came from outside the country, because it was okay to come, and it didn't matter if it didn't come.

This is also Taizu's policy, and future generations will not easily violate it.

This also makes the reason why when the Great Wei State is the strongest, there are not many vassal states, after all, there is no benefit, who wants to have an extra mother-in-law on their head?

The countries that were included in the tributary system of the Great Wei Dynasty included the Bohai, Korea, Vietnam, and Champang, and later the Siam, Srivijaya, and Lanfang states.

In total, these are the following, and all the countries such as the Wa Kingdom did not enter the scope of the Great Wei domain because of their unruliness or various reasons.

This is also where Lan Fang's confidence lies in asking for help from Great Wei when she is in danger, if it is not for the identity of a vassal state, Great Wei will not be reasonable.

However, due to the constraints of national strength, the Great Wei was really powerless against the Lanfang and Srivijaya countries far overseas, and could only sit back and watch them be attacked by the thorns.

When the Manchu Thorn was first rising, subject to Siam, it had also entered the system of the Great Wei, not only entered but also quite respectful, its king had come to the Great Wei Hajj three times, and two kings died in Yanjing, so far there is the Manwang Mausoleum on the outskirts of Yanjing City, and it is also the royal tomb built by Emperor Xuanzong, the scale is not small, so that the Manchu Thorn is admired by the whole country.

Later, the Heavenly Power entered the Manchurian Thorn Plus, and the Manchu Thorn gradually wandered outside the tributary system, until its lord changed his name to the Sultan, and completely believed in the Heavenly Sect, and the Great Wei was completely separated, and now it is taking advantage of the weakness of the Great Wei to invade and plunder the countries of the South Seas, in fact, the Manchurian Thorn Jia is not only to invade the territory of the countries, but also to loot the ships that come to trade, of course, there are many Wei ships, but the Great Wei even a few pirates are helpless, and the Manchu Thorn Plus is even more powerless.

These weakness was just a feeling before this, when the Three Buddhas and Lan Fang and other Han kingdoms asked for help together, and Da Wei said that he couldn't help, it was really discovered, and the Manchu Jia had been in a hurry to attack Lan Fang in recent years, and he had no scruples at all, Fang Shaoqun's so-called Luo Fangbo was even more urgent, and the six-year tribute period had not yet arrived, and he asked for Hajj, which is proof.

And the Great Wei court is also quite embarrassed, allowing it to enter the Beijing Division, it is nothing more than refusing again, the court is simply embarrassed to go home, and let him invite, and he does not have the strength and determination, so he can only pretend to be confused, and do not allow Luo Fangbo to enter Beijing, as for the things requested, he went to Fuzhou to discuss with the kings of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and appeased the envoys and other officials.

Of course, the officials of Fuzhou also understood the difficulties of the imperial court, and with the power of Fuzhou, they could not ask the center to change their views, after all, this was the strategic core of the imperial court first, and it would not be easily changed.

And with the power of Fuzhou to help Lan Fang and Srivijaya alone, of course the imperial court will not oppose it, and will even support it, but how could Lin Douyao, King Zhao and others consume the low strength of Fujian Road for the sake of an overseas vassal state?

To put it mildly, the thing that King Zhao and others are most worried about is that they will make friends with Lan Fang, Pu Xingfeng, Yan Qi, Li Dan and others will attack them, but at that time, they will be anxious, offend the court, and not forgive the gentry and the people.

Therefore, Zhao Wang and others, despite their ambitions, could only reply to Luo Fangbo's invitation in four words: love can't help.

"I see." Xu Zixian was extremely satisfied, and smiled and nodded to the other party's Shaoqun.

It's really a good thing to have a staff member with excellent wisdom and who has been in contact with high-level news for a long time, at least what Fang Shaoqun is saying now, Li Yi and Fu Qian, Kong He and others are afraid that they just don't know.

Xu Zixian himself doesn't know much about it, after all, even if he is reincarnated, he really doesn't know much about other military and political avenues except for what he has experienced.

In his previous life, he was a ruined clan that was excluded by others, how could he have any news channels to speak of?

Even if Luo Fangbo stayed in Fuzhou for a year and a half and visited all the powerful people he counted on, Xu Zixian was afraid that he would always be out of the list, and he was not qualified to be visited at all.

"It is a good thing for the prince that he came to visit."

"What does Feng Qi mean?"

Fang Shaoqun smiled slightly, meaning that Xu Zixian was pretending to be stupid...... However, he did not say that this point of face still has to be given to the Lord.

Xu Zixian was indeed pretending to be stupid, after listening to the end, he only had one thought in his heart, no matter what Luo Fangbo wanted and what kind of conditions he wanted to offer, he would agree to it first!

Whether you can do it or not, or if it is suitable or not, you will say yes first!

Such a country isolated overseas, dominated by Chinese aristocrats, should have the same national strength as Fujian Road, but due to more developed trade and independent financial endowment, it does not need to be handed over to the center, and its national strength accumulation is of course far above Fujian Road.

And Luo Fangbo is the son in charge, he has a fleet under his command, plus there are 100,000 private soldiers and tens of millions of subjects, such a person is a marquis like Xu Zixian, who is excited to his subordinates as soon as he becomes Tongzhizhizhou, and his status is also very different.

No matter in terms of territory, strength, status, and prestige, Luo Fangbo is far above Xu Zixian, if he comes to find Xu Zixian to do any deals, of course he will promise to come down!

"I can't talk about it yet." Xu Zi said first: "Let's talk about it when we meet, Fengqi will go with me." ”

Fang Shaoqun arched his hand and said with a smile: "I don't dare to ask for it." ”

"It seems that Feng Qi still admires that Luo Fangbo?"

"Yes." Fang Shaoqun said lightly: "His weak crown is in charge of state affairs, and he is struggling to support under the oppression and coercion of a strong country, and his national power is declining in the past ten years, but it has survived in the past ten years, it can be seen that his ability and prestige are excellent, if he is not forced to be embarrassed at this time, if he can have the opportunity to give him a good life and manage it calmly, I am afraid that he will also become a hero." ”

"That's a shame." Xu Zixian said: "Whether it is the hero who creates the current situation, or the current situation that creates the hero, is really difficult to say." ”

"It's still heroes who make the times." Fang Shaoqun said pointedly: "If Luo Fangbo is really like the Great Wei Taizu, now it is he who carries the three-foot sword to Pingman to stab, instead of thousands of miles away, and runs to Fuzhou to ask for help." He's a hero, but he's not in good shape. ”

Li Yi, Qin Dongyang, Zhang Huchen and others followed Xu Zixian to meet the guests, and everyone listened to Fang Shaoqun's words, and they all looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

After a long time, Qin Dongyang shook his head and smiled, and said, "Crazy life." ”

"It's a talented and learned madman." Li Yi said: "As long as he is beneficial to the great cause of the son, what is his madness? ”
