Chapter 0498 - I Bought an Army

Jia Min was silent for a long time, stood up, and walked to the window. X

He looked into the distance for a moment, then sat down again.

"I understand your feelings, and that's what I want. However, not now, the time is not yet ripe. ”

"First of all, although there is a vast land and endless resources, in general, the economy is still very backward, even more backward than Bukui. Without a strong economic foundation, it simply cannot support a long-term war. ”

"As long as we open the country here, it may attract the attention of Dade and Ross. By the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly? With our current strength, we are not yet an opponent of Dade and Ross. We must understand this. ”

"Second, the war requires a large number of soldiers, our troops are still too small, the population base of the North Sea is too small, and the number of reserve troops is also insufficient. So, we also need to bring in a large number of immigrants. ”

"Thirdly, although we have gained a foothold here, it will take some time for the integration of indigenous people. There is still a lot to be done if there is to be effective rule over the place. ”

"We must thoroughly integrate the fate and interests of the indigenous people with us to form a community with a shared future, so that they can work with us with one heart and one mind in the future."

"As it stands, if we win a foreign war, there is nothing. If you lose, it will probably be difficult to gain a foothold here. ”

"Fourth, we will not be able to increase our population significantly for a long time, so we will not be able to maintain a large standing army. Otherwise, we will face a massive labor shortage. ”

"This point determines that we must go the elite route. Only with the most combat-ready army can we win more with less in the face of the enemy's superior forces. ”

"If we want to win more with less, we need superb strategies and tactics, we need more training, and we need more advanced and sophisticated weapons. This has been proven by the experience of the prefectural corps. ”

"Another point, which is also important. Our family is in Dadeok. In fact, they are also the objects that the imperial court has been watching. Even if we retreat here, it will be a gradual process. If you move your family rashly, you are likely to be stopped by the imperial court. ”

"Now the imperial court is chaotic and the situation is unstable. Our families are basically noble families, and if there is a change of dynasty, they are likely to become the targets of purge. In order to protect our families, it is likely that we will have to meet with the imperial court soldiers at that time. ”

"We still belong to the Dade people now, and when we meet the soldiers of the imperial court, it is just to protect our families, and when the time comes, even the Dade people will sympathize with us. Morally, we are reasonable, and this is how the teacher is famous. ”

"If we start a national dynasty now, it will be a war between the two countries. Our families are collaborators, and we are treason and aggression. Not only will no one sympathize with us, but they will also leave an infamy in history. ”

After Jia Min's analysis, everyone was silent, and Yang Lin was even shocked into a cold sweat.

In fact, they are also knowledgeable people, and they are not unaware of these pros and cons.

It's just that now that things are going well, my confidence has swelled a little.

The temptation of opening a dynasty, achieving a great cause of a generation, and leaving a name in history is undoubtedly great. As the founder of the country, the benefits are also huge. For these people, some eagerness is normal.

Now that Jia Min is back, his mind can't help but be a little hot.

"In the end, Chief Min is far-sighted, and I'm a little reckless."

Yang Lin was a little embarrassed.

"That's fine, dreams should always be there. If we don't have great ambitions, we lose our purpose and motivation. ”

"Send people home, and when you come back, recruit some of them. In my opinion, more women should be recruited. Or buy more slaves and maids, and when you get here, you will redeem them, and give them some land, and lend them some farm tools, seeds, and livestock. ”

"Yes, most of the people who are here now are single men, and if they have women, they will marry here in the future, start a family, and the man will stay, give birth to a child, and then add Ding to import."

Cong Xiucai reacted immediately.

"I have an idea."

Yang Lin quickly came up with ideas.

"What is Yang Dianshi's idea? Speak quickly. ”

"We can take some out of the money of the Autonomous Association, go to various places in Dade, buy some slaves and maids, and when we get here, we will redeem them, and give them some things to settle down and start a business, and we will match them here in the future."

"What do you think?"

"I think this plan is feasible, not only brought us population, but also rescued them, which is also a merit."

Chen Yejun was the first to agree.

"Actually, there are a lot of slave traders in Europe right now, who trade slaves from Africa to the New World. However, what they did was too unconscionable for us to do what they did. Therefore, after buying a slave, when you come here, you must redeem yourself, and this will be carried out as an iron law in the future. ”

"In this way, it seems that for the time being, it will cost a few dollars, but when they have freedom, they will think of buying a house for themselves, and those who have permanent property will have perseverance, they will live and work in peace and contentment, and they will also provide us with taxes in the future."

As soon as the idea was opened, everyone offered suggestions one after another. In the blink of an eye, the discussion lasted for more than two hours.

After all the matters were decided, they dispersed.

The reason why Jia Min is not in a hurry to establish a country and open a dynasty is actually another reason.

According to his current status, he will almost certainly be the emperor or king of the future dynasty.

In his generation, there may not have been much of a problem. But what about the future?

In all dynasties, the struggle for imperial power was almost a life-and-death struggle. Fathers and sons harm each other, and brothers kill each other, which is almost a common occurrence in the struggle for imperial power.

Now that he has so many women, there will be no fewer children in the future, and he doesn't want his descendants to repeat such a tragedy.

If we want to avoid such a tragedy, we must change this feudal system and establish a new power system.

Fortunately, he had such an example in his previous life, and when the time comes, he can just copy a model.

It's just that these things are too novel, and these people may not be able to understand them for a while, so I am not in a hurry to talk to them too much.

When that day comes, the camera will do the trick.

Not long after everyone left, Jia Qiang and Jia Zhi came.

"Fourth Uncle Min, what do you command?"

"Are the girls' houses ready?"

"Ten or so days."

"Brother Zhi'er, you will set off for Bukui in the next two days and pick up the girls. Raider and Bijin, you ask Aunt Ping'er, if she agrees, ask the two of them to come here, if you think it is okay in Bukui, you can stay in Bukui. ”

"Fourth Uncle Min, I know, go back and make arrangements, and I'll leave the day after tomorrow."

"Accommodation and food on the road should be arranged properly, don't wronged the girls. In addition, you go to the chief of the guard and ask him to send 20 men with you to escort the girls all the way here to avoid accidents. ”

"I made a note of it, Fourth Uncle Min, if there is nothing else, I will leave."

"Okay, let's go. Brother Qiang, tell me about the situation at home in detail. ”

After Jia Qiang finished introducing the situation, Jia Min fell into contemplation again.

Yuan Heng ordered the crown prince to supervise the country, and it seems that his condition must not be light.

At present, the king of Jin and the king of Chu have not been summoned back to the imperial capital, and it seems that the crown prince will not be re-established. Then, the succession of the crown prince in the future is almost a foregone conclusion. This will inevitably lead to tremendous changes in the government.

The current power structure will also face a reshuffle. It will be up to many people to change their fates in this change.

It seems that the old lady sent the girls away was the right move.

Regarding Baoyu's dismissal of the maid and her departure to North Windura, Jia Min is not only a little sad.

Now he has no hatred for Baoyu for a long time, and more sympathy for Baoyu.

"What do you think of Second Brother Bao's spirit?"

"It's very easy, when I walked from the house, all the way to North Ventura, I was secretly observing, it didn't seem to be pretending, pretending to be relaxed. When he arrived at Shuangfeng Temple, Master Jue Neng was also very happy. Tell me to tell you, don't worry about Second Uncle Bao, Second Uncle Bao will be safe there. ”

"Aunt Tana was also very happy when she went back. Along the way, he also took great care of Uncle Bao. Second Uncle Bao is not as cold to his aunt as before, but he is much better. ”

"Okay, you go and call Chief of Staff Feng, Chief of Training Chen, and Chief of Intelligence of the Wei Army to me."

Regarding the current situation in the imperial capital, when Chen Yejun was in Bukui, he often got some important news from He Jialin, so the news of several people was not closed.

After studying together for a while, they all agreed that the current situation was relatively serious.

"Chief Min, I don't think it's enough for the family to go back, we have to make other preparations, otherwise, once something happens to the imperial capital, we are in Beihai, and we still can't quench our thirst."

Feng Ziying's face was also grim.

"yes, we have to be prepared, we have to be prepared, we can't just sit back and wait."

"What are you going to do?"

"In my opinion, we might as well send some people back to lurk in the imperial capital, and if the court has any disadvantages for our family, it is better to act with the camera."

Wei Ruolan came up with an idea.

"I think it's a feasible plan."

"Yes, that's it."

Feng Ziying and Chen Yejun also agreed.

"It's okay, just send Jia Qiang with fifty people and go back secretly. Grab a new firearm and a machine gun and head back to the imperial capital to lurk. If you need to find out the news after you go back, go to Qiu Liang. ”

This matter was decided in this way.

"How is this shipment ready?"

Jia Min asked.

"Like the previous batch, it is also on the ship in Tianjin Wei, and it is all high-imitation porcelain from Wanjia kiln. After arriving in Nanyang, I will carry some spices back. ”

When the ship arrived, according to Jia Min's arrangement, when the cargo was unloaded and returned to Europe, it was necessary to bring some porcelain and spices back.

After going back, he was led by Lamei and brought the goods to France for sale.

This time, the boat brought by Baochai and Qin Zhong also plans to do the same.

When Jia Min went to France, he brought some high-imitation porcelain from Wanjia kiln, and although he lost some of the damage and gifts along the way, he finally sold it for a lot of money in France.

It was with this money that Jia Min gained a foothold in France and opened up the situation of wine-making equipment, tobacco and the Louvre Arsenal.

"Chief of the Guard, you pick 30 people, and in 3 days, you will set off with Tamara."

"Chief Min, where do you want us to go?"

"I bought an army, you go get it back." r
