"Yes, Your Majesty," the attendant military attache went out.

Zhang Qiang said to Wei Wuji: "Take over the work in hand as soon as possible, go to Southeast Asia to command where to launch an attack on Siam and Cambodia, we need to completely control Southeast Asia in our hands." That's it, come on, get up and get ready to go to Treasure Island State. ”

Zhang Qiang and Wei Wuji separated, and on the third day after Wei Wuji took office, he and Xiao Fei and Tang Dianfeng met and confessed, so they quickly stepped up and rushed to Taizhou Prefecture with the personal guard regiment, and then went down the river from Taizhou Prefecture, entered the sea, and arrived at Baodao Prefecture on the ships of the Third Fleet.

As soon as he saw Mi Lin, Zhang Qiang asked: "What's the matter, I transferred you here to monitor the Spaniards and the Zheng family, why did Zheng Zhi start a war with the Spaniards uncontrollably and didn't stop them, now we don't have the energy to fight the Spaniards, that will increase our expenses, now our newly joined core district state capital is increasing construction efforts, and the population of the core area is moving to the core district state capital that we just joined, Zheng Zhi is now going to war, isn't it to slow down our process?" ”

Mi Lin had a wrong expression, and when Zhang Qiang finished reprimanding, he said carefully: "Your Majesty, these are not easy to control, my newly established Overseas Investigation Department is being cultivated, many of them have not infiltrated the enemy's high-level, and now they are only operating in the middle of the enemy, the manpower mobilized from the Ministry of Military Intelligence is a little too busy, the Spaniards are more anxious, Zheng Zhi is also more anxious, one of them wants to make money, the other wants to protect the Han population, and the two sides are now tense, just waiting to start fighting." ”

"Don't tell me about the Han population, they are already the indigenous population of Manila, not the Han population, do you sympathize with them? If those people are people with the household registration certificate of the Huaxia Kingdom, even if he is a toast, I will rescue them, but where to go how many people are in population? You can tell me the statistics, what kind of good people are who can know where to go? Even if they are the population of the Huaxia Kingdom and the Han people, they all have unforgivable crimes, even if they are ordered to smuggle and go to do bad things, they die and sacrifice their lives for the country, anyway, they are not good people, good people will not do this. Zhang Qiang patted the table and said.

Because Zhang Qiang wanted to deal with Du Ge and them, Zhang Qiang transferred Mi Lin here to set up a new department of the Overseas Military Intelligence Department to infiltrate all Western countries, of course, the main task is to infiltrate and monitor the Zheng family, because Zhang Qiang never trusted any overseas forces, even if he was a force established by the Han Chinese.

This is the reason why Millin was suddenly demoted from the position of the secretary of the sought-after military intelligence department to the governor of Treasure Island.

Compared with a high-grade official like the second-rank senior officer of his military intelligence department, the overseas governor is simply a chicken rib, and he has been demoted, and the official character of the overseas governor is the third grade, which looks high, but in fact it is not as high as the governor of a state in the core area from the third grade. It is only equivalent to the official rank of a lang in the cabinet ministries, and the governor of the state can hold the official position of a squire when he returns to the cabinet, which is equivalent to the second-level official position of the cabinet ministries.

If it is the first chamberlain, it is equivalent to the position of deputy minister, that is to say, the second-in-command of each cabinet ministry, because the cabinet ministers are actually in charge of the overall situation, and are not in charge of all things, so the deputy minister in charge of every aspect of things, the deputy secretary is actually quite powerful.

And even if the overseas governor goes back and becomes a deputy secretary or deputy minister, he is also ranked lower, and the third deputy secretary, or directly sent by a langzhong, may also go to an important government in the center to become a prefect.

For example, the official grade of the prefect of Jinling Mansion and Jinhua Mansion is much higher than that of ordinary officials, from the third grade, the general official grade is at most from the fourth grade or the fifth grade, and some are a little smaller, but from the fifth grade or the sixth grade, compared with the important counties, such as Xianju County, the grade of Xianju County is much lower, Xianju County because it is an industrial county started by Zhang Qiang, so the grade of the county is from the fourth grade.

A magistrate, according to the distribution of officials in the Ming and Qing dynasties, is generally seven-grade, and some are still seven-grade officials, which is much lower.

Of course, the same is true of the officials of the Huaxia Kingdom now, Zhang Qiang does not dare to continue the kind of official products of later generations, so he can only use the official products of the Ming Dynasty.

However, some officials used the official system of later generations, such as the rank of officials in key counties, prefectures, prefectures, etc., which was much higher than that of other officials.

Now that Mi Lin has been demoted from the position of the powerful secretary of the Ministry of Military Intelligence of the second rank to the overseas governor of the third rank, it does seem that he has been demoted, but in fact he is doing things for Zhang Qiang.

"Hasn't Zheng Keshuang been here recently?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Mirin shook his head, "No, there is information from our recent clippers that Zheng Chenggong is almost no longer on the council, and his sons are making trouble again." According to my guess, Zheng Zhi was thinking of separating from the Zheng family, and took a fancy to these forces of the Zheng family in Nanyang, so he was busy integrating these forces, and completely forgot that the condition we talked to Zheng Keshuang about allowing them to come back was to delay the development of Du Ge's rebels and the Taixi people in Nanyang and Southeast Asia for us. ”

"In other words, we can't control Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi is perfunctory us, using the power we fund him to integrate his own power?" Zhang Qiang said leisurely.

"Yes, I think so, we can't control Zheng Zhi, and we can't control his forces. We can only know what he's doing, but we can't stop him from doing it. Mirin said helplessly.

Zhang Qiang sat down and said to Milin helplessly: "Then let him fight with the Spaniards, what you have to pay attention to is not to let him bite us." Zhang Qiang is also very helpless, everyone who leaves the land of Huaxia is always like a resentful woman who always wants to get benefits from Huaxia, and then develop his own power, it seems that he made a wrong move in the last move, I thought that even if Zheng Zhi would not help the Huaxia Kingdom with peace of mind, he would also complete Zheng Keshuang's agreement with himself for the sake of funding him so many ships for free, but he didn't think that he just lost some people and ships on Gegong Island, and then spent his main energy on robbing the Nanyang Han people with the Spaniards.

"In this way, don't worry about the Zheng family, first go and get Du Ge's intelligence and the intelligence of the Dutch, Portuguese, and British, take it easy, don't bump into the people from the Military Intelligence Department, otherwise everyone will not be good, I don't want the cabinet and other departments to know that I have set up another intelligence department in private, so that everyone will deviate from Germany."

Mi Lin stood up and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I, Mi Lin, have followed Your Majesty all my life, and I will not make Your Majesty sad, if they find out, I will take the initiative to bear it." ”

Zhang Qiang stood up, walked up to him, and patted him on the shoulder, "I know, I believe in you." Rest assured, I will not allow those who are faithful to me to be wronged. At the same time, we must keep the population flowing between the Huaxia Kingdom and the Treasure Island, otherwise after a long time, across a strait, the people here will give birth to a feeling that I am from the Treasure Island, not the Chinese people, and we must strengthen ideological education for them, and the ideological education cannot be relaxed. ”

"Come, tell me about the situation on Gogong Island that you know, and the situation of Du Ge's fleet."
