Chapter 167: Layout!
Liang Pengfei saw the expressions of Luo Fangbo and Ye Shanglin, but he still continued regardless of it: "There is a prerequisite for these. ”
“…… I also asked my nephew to make it clear. Luo Fangbo and Ye Shanglin glanced at each other, and each saw the doubts in each other's eyes, it seems that this condition is the point.
"I'm just saying, the Lanfang Republic doesn't have an army, but a team of outlaws who smuggled from the mainland, and by defending the people of the Lanfang Republic, they get wealth and various rewards from your hands, right?"
Luo Fangbo nodded as a matter of course: "That's right, although there are some discrepancies, but they are generally not bad, the vast majority of the soldiers of our Lanfang Republic are recruited those exiled pirates, outlaws who have suffered lawsuits on the mainland, and even some Westerners who are wanted by the West." It is precisely because these people do not trust each other, and they are a collective, so it is difficult to unify the dispatch and command, the old man is very sad about this matter, although our Lanfang Republic has also formed an army by itself, but ......" Luo Fangbo's expression was a little embarrassed, and he was a little embarrassed to say the combat effectiveness of the army composed of Chinese and local natives.
"My premise is ...... I will send a mercenary army to be stationed in the Republic of Lanfang, and if there is any war in the Republic of Lanfang, they will help you solve it, of course, I need you to provide their weapons, supplies, artillery, and even warships, as well as the money needed to hire them. Liang Pengfei's voice was very low, but Luo Fangbo and Ye Shanglin still heard it clearly.
Luo Fangbo, who was quickly thinking about what Liang Pengfei's intentions were, quickly understood, which was equivalent to saying that Liang Pengfei's appetite was not small, he sent an army, and all the supplies, armed equipment and materials of this army must be paid for by the Lanfang Republic.
"Pengfei, your family shouldn't be short of money, right?" Ye Shanglin, one of the thirteen wealthy businessmen in Guangzhou, made his own judgment, stepped forward, and whispered in Liang Pengfei's ear.
"Why isn't there a shortage?" Liang Pengfei rolled his eyes and changed his expression, like a scholar who was so poor that he was about to go to his pants for food, and like a beggar who was about to go into the farmer's field to steal vegetables and wrap his stomach. "My family's nest costs hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year, and now it occupies the central Luzon Islands, just to migrate the population, transfer all kinds of materials, buy living utensils, seeds, build houses and walled cities, these are all white flowers, and my nephew can have today, don't you know, I just went to Fu Dashuai, and stuffed this amount of silver." Liang Pengfei stretched out three fingers, trembling slightly, like the dying Grande comparing three wicks.
Ye Shanglin couldn't help but gasp, raised his eyes and looked at Liang Pengfei and muttered in his heart, could it be that this kid would be valued by Fu Dashuai, just smashing millions of taels of silver, even if he was a fool, I am afraid that Fu Dashuai would be able to do it with his own eyes, not to mention that his nephew is so capable.
The dialogue between Liang Pengfei and Ye Shanglin also explained the reason why Liang Pengfei gave such a condition. This made Luo Fangbo's eyes, which was originally confused, light up, indeed, the Lanfang Republic is like a hammer and a stick to recruit people, not only the quality of the recruited personnel is uneven, but also easy to form one small group after another, and there are often internal contradictions, resulting in he, the general system, often worrying about the bad things in his army, if all the pirates of the Liang family are used, the first point is that the contradictions within the personnel do not need to worry about themselves.
--------------------
When Luo Fangbo and Ye Shanglin left the Liang Mansion, they were in a happy mood like a little bee picking flowers in spring, Luo Fangbo even hummed a small tune, he never thought that it would be so smooth, and the reward for this meeting was really much beyond his expectations.
Ye Shanglin is also happy, his nephew finally didn't give himself face, such a big deal, it is also his nephew, if Liang Yuanxia's old boy, when he thinks of Liang Daguan, Ye Shanglin secretly pouts, although it has been more than 20 years, but in his heart, his sister marrying this old guy is really a loss.
Even now, with the efforts of his nephew, the old Liang family has gradually emerged, but the problem is that the contradiction between him and Liang Yuanxia has been transformed into an indelible subconscious, and it is no longer a question of right or wrong, just like a song in later generations, when love has become a habit, these two big men should be right when hate has become a habit.
After Luo Fangbo and Ye Shanglin left, Liang Pengfei, who was sitting in the front hall, suddenly burst into a burst of laughter like firecrackers, like a lottery player who won a five-million jackpot and almost went crazy.
The Liang officials and Sun Shijie, who had just entered the front hall, were startled. "Stinky boy, why are you scared?" Liang Daguan said angrily.
"Dad, our old Liang family has sent it!" Liang Pengfei hurriedly got up to greet him, and after letting Liang Daguan sit down, Liang Pengfei took out a cigar from the box on the table and lit it for Liang Daguan, and handed one to Sun Shijie and said happily.
After hearing Liang Pengfei's statement, Liang Yuanxia and Sun Shijie couldn't help but be moved. "Son, you can't be crazy, are you?" Liang Daguan touched the forehead of Liang Pengfei, who was smiling, and tested the temperature. Angry and anxious, he stomped his feet and said, "Our old Liang family still lacks those money?" You're a ...... kid."
"Mr. Liang is angry, the adults do this, there must be a reason for him." Although Sun Shijie couldn't guess what plane Liang Pengfei was doing, out of caution and out of trust in Liang Pengfei, the proprietor who had a bad stomach and would never suffer, he wanted to hear what kind of demon moth Liang Pengfei had made.
"Dad, what do you think of our old Liang family now?" Liang Pengfei's calm expression also calmed down Liang Yuanxia, he knows better than anyone what kind of talent his son is, and he doesn't need to think about Liang Pengfei's question at all. "Of course it's better than before, and it's too good to be true."
"But have you ever thought about the future of our family?" Liang Pengfei also lit a cigar for himself and smoked beautifully, anyway, now there are Bai Shusheng and Monk Chen guarding outside the door, not afraid of the old lady coming to catch the appearance, usually maybe smoke by himself, but because he was worried about his injury, Ye asked Liang Pengfei not to smoke these days, which made Liang Pengfei feel that the world's first non-smoker was not Lin Zexu but his mother.
"The future of our family? Of course, I have thought about it, so I will naturally fully support you to rise step by step, and be the master of our old Liang family, in addition, the territory of Nanyang must also be well managed, and the descendants of our old Liang family will have a place to settle down. ”
"Dad, do you think just one central Luzon archipelago is enough?"
Liang Yuanxia couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at his son, Liang Pengfei didn't have the slightest meaning of joking, his face was serious, next to him, Sun Shijie lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes in the shape of a clay sculpture bodhisattva, but the conversations between Liang's father and son all fell into his ears.
"Son, what do you mean, are you trying to plot against the Lanfang Republic?" Liang Yuanxia's eyes rolled, and there was a scheming shrewdness in his eyes. "With the current strength of our old Liang family, I'm afraid it's not enough, right?"
"Of course it's not enough, but the rice is eaten one bite at a time, and what my son is doing now is just throwing a chess piece on that Borneo first." Liang Pengfei smiled: "My son is worried that he can't find any good reason, who thinks that Luo Fangbo and Uncle misunderstand that our family is short of money, it's just tired that someone sent a pillow, Daddy, you think, we are in the central Luzon Islands, there are no less than tens of thousands of compatriots, and now, under the training of Lu Guan, a group of troops that can be put into battle have been trained, but now the Nanyang is in chaos, and the infiltration of those Western Yi people into the Nanyang is becoming more and more serious, there is also an element of luck, and more importantly, those Westerners have not fully paid attention to us, if one day, they suddenly understand that we are their biggest opponent in colonizing the South Seas, or find that there are countless treasures on the territory we occupy, Dad, do you think that with the current strength of our Liang family, can we compete? ”
Liang Yuanxia was silent, Liang Jiufang shook his head, he really didn't think that just with the current strength of the old Liang family, he could deal with those Westerners, and there was another point, he also knew the attitude of the court towards those Nanyang relics, and it would be good to ignore them.
Although his son has now become a military general in the court, and most of his generals are children of the Liang family, this is just a thousand people, and it is a capital crime to transfer troops without authorization.
"Therefore, what my son thinks is that by exporting arms and troops to the Lanfang Republic, not only can our family's arms factory on King of Crabs Island be profitable, but also allow those craftsmen to gain more practical experience, and we can also form a large number of combat units that have experienced the baptism of blood and fire......" Liang Pengfei wrenched his fingers and told the benefits one by one, and in the end, Liang Pengfei smiled: "Our army will gradually penetrate into the hearts of the people of the Lanfang Republic. Let them get used to their presence, depend on their presence, and even be unable to do without their presence, if the time comes......"
Liang Pengfei didn't say any more, Liang Yuanxia shook his head and shook his head with satisfaction, as for Sun Shijie, looking at Liang Pengfei's eyes were full of shock, and there was something called reverence.
Take one step at a time, look at ten steps, and have a long plan, now he is an official of the court, and it can even be said that in the near future, he will definitely be able to climb the ranks of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but he is still forbearing, hiding his strength in order to accumulate thick and thin.
This made Sun Shijie think of a sentence: If you don't make a sound, it's a blockbuster, if you don't fly, it's enough, and if you don't fly, you will soar into the sky.
"It's a blockbuster, this proprietor has already met the requirements, but I don't know if he really wants to soar into the sky, if there is really such a day, it is really very exciting......" Sun Shijie said secretly in his heart.
--------------------
Liang Pengfei was promoted to the Guangdong Navy Humen Town Standard Guerrilla because of his merits, and he was appointed as a general of the Guangdong Navy Division Humen Town Standard, and suddenly jumped from the fifth rank to the third rank of the senior member, although he did not dare to say that he was the fastest promoted in the country, but at least it was second to none in Liangguang, and Liang Pengfei's outstanding military exploits also made those red-eyed officials have nothing to say, at least, no one can really stand up with a pat on his chest and doubt the court's reward for him.
"This is the secretary of my court's ministry, and he is the co-organizer of the university scholar and Lord Shenhe." Fukang An'an sat on the main seat, and introduced Liang Pengfei to another middle-aged man sitting next to him, who was also wearing a first-class official robe, with dazzling eyes and a crown, and looked very handsome.
"Xiaguan has seen Lord He." Liang Pengfei hurriedly got up and saluted the old man respectfully.
"Hehe, don't be polite, please hurry up, this must be the one who captured the Nanyang Yikou chief who was mentioned to Fu Dashuai to He, cracked the Xin'an smuggling case, and with only one battalion, he broke the lair of Zheng Lianchang, the giant of the Nanyang Red Flag Gang, and captured Liang Pengfei, a general of more than 100 relatives of Zheng Lianchang's wife and children, right?" After He Shen stretched out his hand to help, he turned his face and smiled at Na Fukangan. "Such a young hero, Fu Dashuai is really a wise and talented person."
Fukang soothed the long beard under his chin, and said with a smile: "Where, Pengfei, sit down, and your lord was ordered by the emperor to go to Guangdong to inquire about the case of the Guangzhou prefect's smuggling of people in Guangzhou, because you have a lot to do with this case, so I hope that the governor can find a helper for him, and the governor is the first to think of you, so I will let you come to see him." During your stay in Guangzhou, you should be well assisted and ...... The governor is about to leave for Qinghai, and he is really not at ease if he does not explain things clearly. ”
"How could Dashuai go to Qinghai?" Liang Pengfei couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Fukangan in some amazement.
Fukangan glanced at He Shen with a smile, and He Shen smiled understandingly: "General Liang may not know that in the middle of last year, the Gurkha army invaded Tibetan Province......"
After hearing He Shen's explanation, Liang Pengfei knew that a major event had happened in Tibetan Province, the Gurkha army invaded Tibetan Province, intending to loot the wealth in the lama temples scattered all over the country, but was afraid of war by the Manchu garrison generals at that time, Ba Zhong, E Hui and others, bribed money and food to persuade them to withdraw. However, they did not give up. In the following year, with a larger-scale invasion, there was little resistance from the local Tibetan soldiers or the Qing troops stationed there, so they were able to loot on a large scale.
After the news reached Yanjing, Qianlong was furious when he heard the news, but Ah Gui, the minister who could fight in the DPRK and China, was already old, and Qianlong soon thought of Fukangan, who was the governor of Liangguang, and Qianlong simply asked He Shen to investigate the case and at the same time passed a decree to Fukangan, appointing Fukangan as a general, Hailancha and Kuilin as counselors, and commanding the troops to fight in Tibet through Qinghai.
