Chapter 64: The Song of the Athletes of Hong Kong Island
For the next two days, Pang Yue stayed on Hong Kong Island, not only for the affairs of the seamaster and the shipyard, but also for the future development of commerce and trade. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Previously, Pang Yue had always had the idea of using the surrounding areas of Hong Kong Island as a hub to integrate the land trade resources of Huguang and Liangguang under his control with the sea trade in the direction of the South Seas into a unified system. Once this ambitious goal is realized, a new and huge commercial system will be born, which will provide a steady stream of strong support for the development of Huguang Town and the rejuvenation of the whole of China.
But for now, this can only be a grand ..... No, it should be said that it is an ambitious goal. There is still a long way to go to get to this point, and there are still countless difficulties and obstacles ahead, which will not only come from the enemy side, but also from their own side.
Therefore, Pang Yue can only come slowly step by step at the moment.
The maritime trade in Guangdong has always been personally responsible for Qi Liang himself, and as for the land trade, the Liu die-hard group with Qi Liang as the core currently has a separate system that is different from the Zhou Yunxuan group, and the main person in charge is Qi Liang's brother Chen Agui. However, Chen Agui's health has not been good in the past two years, and now a large part of the affairs are handled by his eldest son Chen Tingjun.
In the previous letter, Qi Liang had introduced Chen Tingjun to Pang Yue many times, praising this young man of the same age as Pang Yue as a rare business wizard. This time, Chen Tingjun also followed Qi Liang's instructions before going to sea, and came to Hong Kong Island to pay a visit to him immediately after Pang Yue's arrival.
Two young men of similar age almost hit it off at first sight.
Chen Tingjun, as Qi Liang has introduced many times in his letters, has an extraordinary talent in business. Although Pang Yue is not an expert in business and trade, he can also say a thing or two with his knowledge hundreds of years ahead, which also makes Chen Tingjun even more impressed. After some discussions, although the two could not immediately achieve substantive results, they had also finalized the general framework for future development.
In the future, Chen Tingjun will be a very suitable person in charge of the land trade in Guangdong. As for Huguang, there have been more and more talents who have defected to Huguang Town recently, and there are many people who are well versed in business.
In the midst of hustle and bustle, time always flies. Pang Yue knew that he couldn't stay in Guangdong for too long, and the next development of the situation made people unable to relax at all.
If nothing else, in June and July this year, the Manchu and Han armies led by Tan Tai and He Luohui will reach the city of Nanchang. If the wheel of history does not change its trajectory, then by the first month of next year, Nanchang City will be broken by the Qing army, and a huge anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty movement will end in complete failure.
That is to say, excluding the time for mobilization and marching, the preparation time left for Huguang Town is only about half a year.
Although in Pang Yue's view, the deaths of Jin and Wang are not much to regret. However, the negative impact of the failure of this anti-Qing movement is undoubtedly incalculable, it has caused the anti-Qing wave of the Han people to fall into a trough, and it has also made the originally unreliable foundation under the Tatar Qing ass consolidate a few points after devouring a large number of Han people's flesh and blood. And now, since I have come to this world, I can no longer stand idly by.
The situation is pressing, the time is pressing, and the time to return to the north is just around the corner.
But this trip to the south is by no means optional.
The most important ability of the head of a group and a figure who can stir up the storm of history is the ability to rise to the occasion. It is necessary not only to build momentum through the development of its own strength, but also to take advantage of it through a series of operations.
For today's Pang Yue, his own "potential" has begun to become large, but the "potential" in the south must also be borrowed. Especially on the eve of another big war, the rear cannot afford to lose, and the balance between these two "potentials" must be carefully maintained. Judging from the specific effect, this goal has basically been achieved.
The next step is to prepare wholeheartedly.
On the eve of leaving Hong Kong Island, Pang Yue specially found his brother-in-law Liu Cheng, who was going south with him this time, and asked him the same question.
"Are you really reluctant to stay?" Pang Yue asked.
"Of course." Liu Cheng, who has already served in the General Staff Department of Huguang Town and has the rank of 100 generals, answered as crisply as ever, and then asked rhetorically, "Brother-in-law, didn't you ask me before and promised me?" ”
Pang Yue looked at him, smiled and did not speak.
This time, Liu Cheng came with him, which still played a big role in attracting the hearts of the old people of the Liu Group. Qian Dayou, Wang Xingzheng and other core loyalists of the Liu Group are all treated as young masters. In the past, when Liu Cheng was young, everyone didn't think there was anything. Now Liu Cheng has grown into a heroic young man, especially after the experience in the army, his temperament is different, and his gestures have all made these old Liu people have a fire of hope in their eyes and see a new sustenance.
In the past few days on the island, Qian Dayou and other old people of the Liu family have more than once tried to let Liu Cheng stay, and they will serve in the sea division. For them, staying by the young master's side is equivalent to returning to the old commander, and their loyalty will have a chance to be extended.
However, Pang Yue did not make a clear statement, but only said that everything was subject to Liu Cheng's own wishes.
Liu Cheng's reaction was that he was unwilling to stay and insisted on returning to the Huguang army. In this way, Pang Yue happened to save a lot of trouble.
"Brother-in-law, you don't count if you can't speak, do you?" Seeing that Pang Yue didn't say anything for a long time, Liu Cheng was anxious first.
Pang Yue laughed: "When did I stop talking and counting?" ”
"Haha, thank you brother-in-law! No, thank you! Liu Cheng was relieved.
Looking at Liu Chengxing's elated appearance, Pang Yue felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Perhaps, it was really the energetic environment in Huguang Town that attracted him and made him reluctant to leave, which was also the most beneficial result for him that he wanted to see. If not...... can have such scheming at such a young age, but he is also a powerful character, and he will ...... in the future Oh, let's talk about that later.
After sending Liu Cheng away, Pang Yue sent someone to find Shi Lang again.
I'm leaving tomorrow, and there's still a lot to explain.
In all fairness, Shi Lang is still doing a good job. As a provincial, he can also sit firmly in the position of the head coach of the sea division, and he has made a lot of achievements, which is not simple. Although he has his own backing, his personal ability is also unquestionable.
Pang Yue also considered the matter of the sea division very thoughtfully, although this sea force located on Hong Kong Island could not be immediately used in the battle with the Tartars for the time being, but once it came in handy in the future, it would definitely make the Tartars tremble.
There were all kinds of things, Pang Yue explained until late at night, and Shi Lang wrote them down one by one.
"Well, that's all I can think about." Pang Yue breathed a long sigh of relief, "However, you don't have to stick to this, the situation will always change, and sometimes you have to rely on yourself to deal with it." The Tartars in the north won't live in peace for long, and it is estimated that I will not be able to get out of it for a long time in the future, and you will have to worry more about the affairs of the sea master. ”
Shi Lang stood up, hugged his fists with a solemn face and said, "The handsome man said this, and Shi Lang was tormented." If there is no handsome, how can there be Shi Lang today? To be able to gain the trust of the marshal, Shi Lang Sansheng is fortunate, and he is very guilty of not being able to follow the marshal to the side of the battle to kill the captives, and he is not daring to talk about the word bother. is handsome, in danger and shouldering heavy responsibilities, so he has to pay more attention and cherish more. If he needs it in the future, please don't hesitate for a moment, and with an order, Shi Lang and thousands of athletes can immediately abandon the ship and go ashore and rush to the commander with perseverance. ”
"There is no shortage of you for the time being, as for going into battle to kill the enemy, I will give you a chance in the future." Pang Yue smiled, "By the way, last time I said that the word Haishi was a bit awkward, and I want to choose a new name, but now I have thought about it, you can see how it is." ”
"Boss, please speak."
"The South Sea Fleet."
"The South Sea Fleet?" Shi Lang's eyes lit up, and then he nodded, "It's unpretentious, but it makes people feel extra uplifted." Dashuai is really thoughtful. ”
"Also, the tune of the military song I left two days ago, those musicians haven't forgotten it, right?"
What Pang Yue said was that two days ago, he personally served as a sea master...... Oh, it should be the military song set by the Nanyang Fleet, and he hummed it with his mouth at that time, and the musician in the army recorded the tune. Of course, this song is not his original, but there is no need to worry about copyright.
"No, no." Shi Lang hurriedly said, "The military song embodies the soul of the army, how can such an important thing be easily forgotten?" In the past two days, the musicians have been practicing repeatedly, and I will check it myself whenever I have time. If the marshal is interested, how about I let them play it again now? ”
"No need, just forget it." Pang Yue waved his hand, "But it's not okay if the military song has a song without words, I took the time to think about it in the past two days, and wrote such a paragraph casually, how about you take a look?" ”
After speaking, he handed Shi Lang a piece of paper...... No, it should be said "lyrics".
As for writing casually, Pang Yue didn't hold it up, didn't he "borrow" from others and didn't use his brains, isn't it just "writing casually"?
Shi Lang took it solemnly and looked at it seriously. The lyrics on the paper also quickly attracted him:
"The waves are surging, the vast waves are scattered on the shore, the pine of Changpan is lush, the beautiful country is my Shenzhou, there is a long history for thousands of years, and the emperor is getting higher and higher;
Exquisitely towering on the south coast, you can see Furong Mountain, the blood of the Shenzhou boy surges, the agitation echoes in my chest, whining out my glorious national pillar, and giving up my life to protect the country;
The water under Lantau Island is clear, the pine waves are bursting with jade sounds, the purple shadow of Nengmei Island, the dawn is far away, the enterprising martial flag is high, and there are a few stars of frost over the years;
The giant ship floats on the sea, holding a bent iron oar, the side of the gun and sword stands, the military face is solemn and silent, the ambition of the world is in the chest, and the will is not withdrawn to seek perseverance;
Looking at the Tartars who are strong, invading our civilization is worried, looking at the surrounding ocean east, the clouds over Shenzhou, today we are eager to reluctantly, who bears the responsibility of protecting the country;
Woohoo Hong Kong Island boy, the time comes to the wind and clouds, soaring into the world, the sky and the earth are like dragons, even if they die, we are heartily for the protection of the country. ”
Seeing the end, Shi Lang's hand was already trembling slightly. He is a military general, not a literati, he can't dance and ink, and he can't accurately describe what he feels in his heart, but the lyrics in front of him really infected him.
There are not many flowery rhetoric, not much rhyme, and even a little awkward, but the tragic and tragic and majestic wind of the Han and Tang Dynasties has already jumped on the paper.
Even if we die, we are dedicated to protecting the country. That's how the husband is!
Thinking that in the years to come, the athletes of the Nanyang Fleet would fight for the country in such a heroic military song, Shi Lang was inevitably a little excited in his heart.
"Dare to ask Dashuai, what is the name of this song?" Shi Lang asked as he tried to calm his mind.
Pang Yue smiled and said lightly: "The song of Hong Kong Island athletes." (To be continued.) )
