Chapter 203: Colonizing Hokkaido
Lushun Port Donggang Port, looking at the fleet that was gradually moving away, Gu Cheng pouted: "Yuan Dayang is really not interesting, he actually secretly wrote to His Royal Highness to recommend himself, and fished out a Hokkaido pioneer envoy, Ishikari County Commander ......"
"Everyone has their own ambitions, and since Yuan Zuo doesn't want to be the deputy director of Jiaolong HNA and go to lead overseas development, it is not a good thing to be repaid. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Xie Yue said lightly with an expression of Gujing Wubo, and then turned around and left the dock, leaving Gu Cheng with a depressed face muttering: "Before the Lelanghai expedition team came back, Hokkaido had never heard of it, and it was a question whether Yuan Zuo would come back alive with three thousand prisoners...... Forget it, it's really in response to the old saying, everyone has their own ambitions, and I hope that Yuan Zuo's wishes will come true, lest a few years later, he can only drink alone in front of a dry bone. ”
On the way back, Xie Yue chuckled involuntarily, Yuan Zuo, who was the most threatening to his status, actually left Jiaolong HNA on his own. In today's Jiaolong Hainan Airlines, who else can replace it in terms of ability?
Three hours after the fleet left Port Arthur, the coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula could not be seen, and as far as the eye could see, there was an endless sea all around, and blue waves rose and fell, wave after wave on the wall of the ship.
Yuan Zuo was listlessly lying on the side of the boat looking at the sea, and the depression on his face was even worse than that of Gu Cheng.
"Hey! Why do you feel that a self-recommendation is a bit of a mistake? ”
"I thought that I would recommend myself to lead the army to open up Hokkaido, and I could be like Lu Zhaolin's expedition to Danluo and Xue Maoxun's expedition to Ryukyu and Taiwan, and after establishing the local governor's prefecture and county, he was granted the post of governor of the prefecture. As a result, it fell on his head, and there was only one no product, and the Hokkaido pioneer envoy set up by His Highness himself plus a Ishikari prefectural order from the seventh product. Compared with Lu Zhaolin, Xue Maoxun and others, it is simply a world of difference! ”
Yuan Zuo was speechless, and couldn't stop howling at the sea, lamenting how bumpy his fate was.
"Why does Yuan Yuanjun feel sorry for himself here?"
I don't know when Hu Anjun, the head of the Xuanwu Sea Expedition, and Lu Yuanqing, the deputy head of the Xuanwu Sea Expedition, appeared behind Yuan Zuo.
Hu Anjun stepped forward and patted Yuan Zuo, who was depressed, on the shoulder and said with a pleasant face: "Yuan Yuanjun is responsible for the development of Hokkaido this time, although he has only obtained a small county order from the seventh grade, but he has a great future, far from being comparable to Brother Lu's expedition manager. ”
"What did Mr. Hu say about this?" Yuan Zuo asked in a bit of a daze, but he rebuked in his heart: A certain person led more than 3,000 prisoners to open up Hokkaido, and in the face of difficulties and dangers, he established Ishikari County, the seat of the state of governance, and gained a firm foothold for the Tang Dynasty on the wild island. is full of hard work and hardship, but His Royal Highness only gives the most inferior county order position, which is really difficult to convince someone. Maybe when he gets a foothold in Hokkaido and His Royal Highness sets up the Hokkaido Governor's Office, he will send another henchman to serve as the Governor and Horoshu Assassin. He worked hard and worked hard, but as a practical pioneer of Hokkaido, he could not reap practical benefits, just like the uncle of Wild Road who conquered the Ryukyu Islands, Sun Yasu, and finally got a long history of fame and powerlessness.
"Hahaha, Yuan Yuanjun used to be a famous maritime merchant in the southeast sea for more than ten years, how could he not even understand the deep meaning of His Highness's arrangement today?" Hu Anjun shook his head and smiled a little mysteriously.
Yuan Zuo patted his head and replied with a slight apology: "It was not worth mentioning when I was young, not to mention that the old man was in his forties, and he was a little stupid, so I asked Mr. Hu to solve his doubts." ”
How could he seize the opportunity to recommend himself to His Highness? Hu Anjun and Lu Yuanqing looked at each other and smiled, and they didn't demolish him.
Hu Anjun smiled faintly and asked, "May I ask if Yuan Yuanjun had an official status before?" ”
"Not at all." Q: What does this do? Yuan Zuo slandered in his heart. When he was young, he wanted to take the imperial examination to become an official, but he repeatedly failed to take the exam, and after his father died, he was forced to go to the sea to do business in order to support his family. If he has an official body, how can he be reduced to a shopkeeper in King Yan's mansion?
"May I ask which family Yuan Yuanjun comes from?"
"Chen Jun Yuan!" Yuan Zuo's waist straightened, pretending to be arrogant.
Hu Anjun and Lu Yuanqing both smiled and looked away.
Lu Yuanqing pointed out unceremoniously and directly: "When the Chen Jun Yuan family was in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, although its reputation was not as expensive as Wang Xie and Shandong's five surnames and seven wangs, it could be regarded as one of the top families. It's a pity that in the last years of the Southern Dynasty, the Yuan clan of Chenjun was in decline, which was worse than the four surnames of Wujun in decline. How can it be called a wealthy family now? ”
"You ......" Yuan Zuo was angry, and was said to his face that his family was decaying, and he was a human being, and he stared at Lu Yuanqing with annoyed eyes.
The atmosphere became a little solemn, and Hu Anjun smiled when he saw this, and said: "Brother Lu is straightforward and has no malice, and I hope Yuan Yuanjun doesn't mind." ”
"It's just a temporary lack of breath, and I hope that Manager Hu will continue to solve his doubts." Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Yuan Zuo's face changed, and he responded to Hu Anjun kindly, but he remembered Lu Yuanqing in his heart.
Lu Yuanqing was open-minded, and he didn't care about Yuan Zuo's unkind expression just now.
It's just today's matter, but it buried the thousand-year-old dispute between the Yuan clan of Chen County and the Lu clan of Wu County, and this quarrel between the ancestors of the two clans has become the root cause of the mutual hatred between the children of the two clans in the future.
"The two questions just now have answered the reason why His Highness let you be fully responsible for the development of friendship in Hokkaido, but only gave one person the position of prefectural order from the seventh grade." Hu Anjun and Yan Yue said.
"Although you are only a county magistrate, there is a lot of room for promotion. Your Highness was impressed by your development in Hokkaido, how could His Highness transfer a layman who didn't know Hokkaido to take over the vacant Horoshu Thorn History? The position of the Assassin of Horoshu, the future position of the Governor of Hokkaido, will be the position you will climb to accumulate merit. ”
As soon as Hu Anjun spoke, the depressed Yuan Zuo suddenly woke up, but if he thought about it carefully, it was really like this.
Whether it was Lu Zhaolin who conquered Danluo or Xue Maoxun who conquered Taiwan, the two of them had previously held high positions. Lu Zhaolin is from Fanyang Lu, one of the five surnames and seven hopes today, and his poems are famous all over the world. The Xue Maoxun family is also one of the six major surnames in Kansai, the Hedong Xue family, and his grandfather is still the famous general Xue Wanche of Zhenguan.
After the two captured Danluo and Taiwan, His Royal Highness set up the Governor's Mansion in the two places, and with these two as the Governors, there was indeed nothing to object.
Looking back on himself, Yuan Zuo was extremely frustrated, the former wealthy Chen Jun Yuan family had long been in the past, and he still needed to find opportunities to revitalize himself. In charge of the development of Hokkaido, you really can't blame Your Highness for only one prefectural order.
Yuan Zuo, who figured all this, arched his hand and said: "Manager Hu analyzed and reasoned thoroughly, so that a certain cottage suddenly opened ......"
Hu Anjun laughed and said with a flick of his hand: "You recommended yourself to Your Highness as the head of the Pioneer Brigade sent to Hokkaido, and Your Highness can agree that you value your talent. It is also hoped that after Yuan Yuanjun arrived in Hokkaido, he was not afraid of hard work, led the prisoners to overcome obstacles, and opened up a civilized area in the wilderness, in order to repay the kindness of His Royal Highness King Yan. ”
"Thank you Manager Hu for your advice, you will definitely live up to Your Highness's hopes!"
