"Brother Zheng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Sun Dalei asked again, "Does Brother Zheng know about the Iyo Eight Domains of the Eastern Ying Kingdom?" ”

"Brother Sun is referring to the Iyo Kingdom of Dongying?" Zheng Zhihu was quite surprised that Sun Dalei knew Japan so well.

"Exactly. If Brother Zheng can get through the relationship between the Iyo Eight Domains, then we can help Brother Zheng make firearms. ”

"Does Iyo own copper?" Zheng Zhihu asked.

"Huh. Brother Zheng. Sun Dalei didn't answer Zheng Zhihu's question again, but picked up the wine bowl again, "I will give Brother Zheng another bowl, and I hope that Brother Zheng will convey to Brother Ling the admiration of my Yulin Bay militia for Brother Ling." ”

After saying goodbye to Zheng Zhihu, the Yazhou continued its journey to Guangzhou, arriving at Guangzhou Bay at noon the next day.

When Sun Dalei and others were greeting Gao Pengju, in a residence in Guangzhou, a person was watching with a secret letter:

"Qiongzhou Jinyi Wei Baihu Wang Qiming played a thousand households:

Since July of the second year of Chongzhen, 300 Yiren from Yazhou landed at Yulin Bay. After calling itself Yashan, the remnants of the Great Song Dynasty overseas. The clothes and words are different from my Ming people, but their appearance is the same as my Ming people, which is different from the Hongyi people.

From the beginning of the landing, it built city houses in the bay and recruited the people of the Ming Dynasty to drive it. Now I heard that the ships of his men did not use oars, but galloped like the wind, and the firearms were very fierce, and there were continuous fires. Xia Guan once watched his ship from afar, and it was indeed without sails and oars, but it was also stagnant, not wood, but like a talent of gold and stone. Xia Guan dared to guess how to walk on the water without sails and oars, and he was afraid of rumors in the mountains and wilderness, which was not enough to believe.

But the things it created are all strange and strange, not what I can see, nor what the Hongyi people have. Since he landed, he has had many contacts with the Yazhou Mansion, but looking at what he did, it seems that he is harmless to me. Today, Yazhou Prefecture is prosperous, the place is appeased, the road is not forgotten, and the door is not closed at night, which is the work of its people.

The lower officials are courageous, although their people seem to be harmless to my Ming, but they are not of my race, and their hearts will be different. How to deal with it, the lower official asks the adult to make it clear. ”

After reading the secret letter, the people in the house put it on the candle and lit it, threw it into the spittoon next to it, and said to the person who sent the letter: "This Wang Qiming, it seems that he is really old and confused, what kind of mess is written here." Several overseas merchants are also worth making such a fuss. You go back and tell him to keep an eye on those magistrates, this is the duty of our Jinyi Guard. ”

The messenger hurriedly replied: "The little one obeys." ”

Since Gao Pengju received the task of Sun Tianhao asking him to go to the mainland to find oil, he cast a net everywhere and sent out no less than a dozen people, but after more than half a year, he didn't find oil, because no one knew what the oil he wanted in Yulinwan was.

Although the oil was not found, in the past six months, Gao Pengju has actually summed up an analysis report on the situation on the mainland based on the news brought back by the people he sent out.

The whole continent is now in turmoil. In the third year of Chongzhen, the Yansui area suffered another famine. In March, Shandong, Zhili, Henan. The White Lotus and Jin Chan uprisings spread for three or four hundred miles. Zhang Xianzhong rebelled in the eighteen villages of Mizhi in Shaanxi Province and called himself the "Eight Kings". Li Zicheng also rebelled and served as a "general" in the rebel army led by his uncle Gao Yingxiang. In August, Yuan Chonghuan was sentenced to death. On the first day of the first month of April, Yin Liu Zongzhou, the governor of Shuntianfu, asked to play the Baojia Law, and Emperor Chongzhen allowed to play.

On the first day of December, the head of the household department was strict because of the big deficit in support, and he neglected 12 things, asking for an increase in tariffs and donations of public funds. Liang Tingdong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said that the soldiers were short of food and that the people were poor, all because of official corruption. After the officials are corrupt, they will add land endowments to the people, and the people will agree. Shangshu Bi asked for three cents per mu to be added to the strict order, so the increase in land was more than 1.65 million, and the old increase was more than 6.8 million.

On February 22 of the fourth year of Chongzhen, thousands of Fujian rebel troops attacked Ruijin County from Changlaikeng. Instructed Wang Kuichun to handle the affairs of the city, and instructed the people to defend the army. The rebel army walked the ancient city of Fujian.

"Boss Gao, the hard work is not small." Sun Dalei closed the fold and said, "I've thanked Boss Gao in Yulin Bay." ”

"Where, where." Gao Pengju said politely, "I am really ashamed that the things entrusted by Sun Gongzi the day before yesterday could not be done." ”

"Well, there's no rush for that." Sun Dalei raised the fold in his hand, "But Boss Gao's move has helped me a lot in Yulinwan, I hope Boss Gao can continue to do it, and my Yulinwan will not treat Boss Gao badly." ”

"Ah, this." Gao Peng Juman thought that this excerpt could send Sun Dalei away, but he didn't expect to put himself in it.

Sun Dalei and others stayed in Guangzhou for more than ten days, Han Wantao and Zong Kai bought more than 30 horses, and Tan Jing got half a boatload of cotton and cotton cloth. Liu Jun and Wei Yang have not been idle in the past few days, inspecting the entire Guangzhou market.

After consultation, Sun Dalei and others finally decided that Liu Jun would set up a point in Guangzhou a month later, and the director of the Qiongzhou office would be replaced by Wei Yang. When the traversers returned to Qiongzhou, they pushed all the things in Guangzhou to Gao Pengju. He instructed Gao Pengju to find a place to open a business in Guangzhou, and from now on continue to recruit people to Yulin Bay. Sun Dalei told Gao Pengju that in a month at most, Yulin Bay would send a large number of goods, which were not available before. In order to stabilize Gao Pengju, Sun Dalei promised that the new firm would give him 10% of the dry shares, and would hire him as the big manager of the new firm. This Gao Pengju felt like he had broken the five-flavor bottle, and he didn't know whether he should be happy or unhappy, anyway, this thief ship would never be able to come down again.

It's fast to the end of June. After several months of construction, the Jinpu Barracks has become stronger and stronger. A diamond-shaped castle nearly 10 meters high was built outside the inner and outer cities, and a large number of supplies were hoarded in the barracks, enough for 1,000 people to consume for a year. Jinpu's wharf has also been completed, and the God traveled between Jinpu and Yulin Bay, not only bringing a large number of supplies, but also more than 30 guns originally prepared for 500 tons of warships. Now the entire Jinpu Barracks is not impregnable, but it is still easy to resist the attack of a few thousand people.

In order not to put too much pressure on Wang Kezong in Yazhou, the Military Commission sent another army battalion to the Jinpu barracks, and the strength of the Jinpu barracks increased to 1,000 people.

Sun Tianhao's deception and abduction were also quite effective, under the propaganda that Yulin Bay could be picked up by lowering its head, and gold could be dropped when it was raised up, the God had transported 2,300 Vietnamese laborers to Yulin Bay in the past few months, and with Liu Jun's recruitment in Guangzhou, the population of Yulin Bay was now nearly 20,000.

Jiang Beiming, Xu Lang and others sat in the regimental commander's office in the Thang Long Barracks, and the Vietnamese recruits' training for more than two months was all about queues, physical fitness, fighting, and cultural education, and firearms training was never carried out. For this reason, Ruan Qi looked for Jiang Beiming several times, but Jiang Beiming blocked him on the grounds that Annan was not allowed to ask about the training of the new army.

"Beiming, I think it's almost, I should be able to conduct shooting training." Xu Lang's division of labor is to carry out cultural training, which is brainwashing to put it bluntly. This is really embarrassing for Xu Lang, freedom and human rights cannot be talked about, only obedience and gratitude, and they must be talked about every day, every day. Xu Lang once wondered whether this was brainwashing the Vietnamese or himself. has spoken a lot of times, and Xu Lang sometimes even feels that the insincere words he said are quite reasonable. This really corresponds to that sentence, a lie that can make others believe is not necessarily a good story, but a lie that can make oneself believe is really a good one.

"What do you think?" Jiang Beiming asked Xiang Zhou Lei, Xu Tianbin and others.

"I think it's about the same." Zhou Lei replied, "It's been more than 2 months, and I remember the regulations every day, even fools remember it." ”

"It's not enough to just remember, you have to make them believe it from the bottom of their hearts." Xu Tianbin said.

"Ye Zhan, what is your opinion?" Jiang Beiming wanted to hear the views of his contemporaries in the Ming Dynasty.

"Report sir." Ye Zhan stood up.

"Sit down, sit down." Xu Lang smiled, "Let's have a meeting, you don't need to speak, you don't have to be tired." ”

"Hey, hey." Ye Zhan smiled embarrassedly, "Report sir, I don't think there should be any problem with the Annan people now." In the past 2 months, I have been chatting with them when I have nothing to do, saying the benefits of our Yulin Bay. I also told them that as long as they are obedient and there is no war in the future, they can also go to live in our Yulin Bay, and those who go will give them houses and land, and they don't need to spend money to buy them. ”

"Hey, Ye Zhan." Xu Tianbin shouted, "You are not very old, and you have a lot of eyes, can you come up with this?" ”

"Hey, hey." Ye Zhan smiled embarrassedly again, "I'm also worried about the chief, so I don't know if it's good to say this." In the past two months, I found out that we, the new army of Annan, actually have no concept of a country, and they came to serve as soldiers just to eat, and whoever gives them food will obey them. ”

"Ye Zhan, what you said really reminded me." Xu Lang praised Ye Zhan a few words approvingly, and said to Jiang Beiming and the others, "Beiming, Zhou Lei, how about we also get a green card?" ”

"Green card?" Jiang Beiming somewhat understood what Xu Lang meant, "You mean to imitate the French Foreign Legion?" ”

"Regiment, regimental commander." Ye Zhan boldly asked, "What is France, what is the Foreign Legion, the subordinates are stupid, can the commander explain it to his subordinates?" ”

"I'll tell you about that later." After Xu Tianbin finished speaking, he said to Jiang Beiming, "This is a good idea, I think it can attract Annan people." ”

"It's good to be careful, but I'm afraid it's not something we can decide." Zhou Lei said.

"Ye Zhan." Jiang Beiming still wanted to hear the Ming Dynasty's views on this foreign legion, so he explained to Ye Zhan, "France is a country of the Hongyi people, and there is a force in their country composed of foreigners, and these foreigners who join the army, as long as they are soldiers for a certain period of time and complete certain tasks, they can become French." ”

Ye Zhan scratched his head, he didn't understand, but he didn't dare to ask again.

"Ye Zhan, let's talk about us now." Xu Lang explained, "Our Annan New Army, as long as it can serve as a soldier in our army for three years, obey the orders of the commander, and there is no violation of discipline." Then after 3 years, they will be able to go to live in Yulin Bay as you said, and give the house and land, without spending money to buy. Do you think this is feasible? ”

"Chief of Staff, of course it works." After Ye Zhan finished speaking, he asked, "Then if I have been a soldier for 3 years, will I also give the house and land?" ”

"Hahahaha." Everyone was amused by Ye Zhan's child's words, and Xu Lang said, "Give it, definitely give it, I'm afraid that you Ye Zhan won't be able to look down on these when the time comes." ”

"So be it." Jiang Beiming came to the final conclusion, "Regarding the matter of the green card, let's make a proposal and submit it to a vote at the next meeting." At present, firearms training can be carried out, but it is necessary to do a good job in the management of firearms, strictly separate guns and ammunition and check the system, and count the ammunition at the end of each day. ”

Zhou Lei and the others went out after the meeting, Xu Lang closed the door and said to Jiang Beiming: "There will be a re-election in less than a month." What should we do with these people in Vietnam, to go back or not to go back? ”

"All back." Jiang Beiming leaned back in his chair and said, "I've thought carefully about what you said that day in the past few days, if we don't go back, I'm afraid that something will go wrong." ”

"If we all go back, what will happen to the Vietnamese side?"

"I have discussed this matter with Sun Tianhao and Yiyi, the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce can be handed over to Mu Suide and Yao Han, and the army will be in charge of Yang Tao and Ye Zhan first, which can be regarded as a workout. Let's go and get back quickly, there shouldn't be any problems. ”

"Beiming." Xu Lang suddenly smiled, "I'm going back soon, willing to give up the Yao Han clan?" ”

"Huh." Jiang Beiming also smiled, "I will answer you with the words of your literati, distance produces beauty." ”
