Chapter 469: Garrison in a different place
"Brother Wang, Lin Yi's personnel appointments are now in your hands, and you must not let others interfere, there should be no problem with this, right?" Yan Bei suddenly asked Wang Guo.
"Brother Yan, rest assured, although Wang is not talented, this little thing can still be done, as long as I am here, others will definitely not be able to reach out to personnel appointments!" Wang Guo immediately spoke.
At the beginning, the reason why he and Cui Yu proposed to do something to Linyi was just to let Linyi lower the price of grain for export, but they didn't expect Li Su to control the entire Linyi as soon as he made a move, and the last time they and Yanbei returned to Tainan to see Li Su, they were pulled Zhuangding, Li Su gave them two official bodies, and asked them to help Yanbei and jointly implement the plan to annex Linyi. Now Wang Guo is in charge of personnel, while Cui Yu is in charge of finance, and his position in Linyi is only below Yanbei and Yang Jiu.
Yan Bei nodded after hearing this, and at the same time turned to Cui Yu and said, "Brother Cui, the financial power over your side is the same, there is no problem, right?" ”
When Cui Yu heard this, he immediately replied: "Brother Wang, don't worry, settling accounts is our old business, and with the help of other people, we will definitely not let people take advantage of the loopholes." ”
Of course, financial power is not just about settling accounts, but since Cui Yu said so, it can be seen that he is still comfortable in finance, which makes Yanbei more at ease. As for Yang Jiu, he didn't need to tell him at all, Yang Jiu already knew about this time, and he also knew what to do next.
At this time, I saw Yan Bei's face suddenly pale, and he said very seriously: "Three, Your Highness has sent an order there, and I will leave Linyi in three days, as for the matter here, I need your careful cooperation." We have completed the plan we made earlier to annex Linyi. ”
Hearing that Yanbei was leaving, Wang Kuang and Cui Yu were both shocked. Almost at the same time, he said, "Yanbei, where are you going?" ”
"Hehe, where else can I go. Our Liulang fell in love with Luzon again, and it just so happened that the slave catcher team was the vanguard there, so I, the president of the slave hunting association, naturally wanted to go there to sit down, and by the way, stir up the relationship between the local natives, let them fight to the death, and finally send a large army to pick up the cheap. Yan Bei said with a smile.
Don't look at Yan Bei now, it seems that he has withdrawn from the official system of the Qi Palace, but in fact, in secret, he still obeys Li Su's orders. And his slave hunting association is actually a semi-official and semi-military organization, and if there is something that is inconvenient for the government to do, it needs the people of their association to do it, and Yan Bei also likes his current identity very much, because he feels that he is more like a businessman now, and he is also very free, but at some point, he still needs to obey Li Su's appointment. For example, something like this trip to Luzon.
Hearing Yan Bei's words, Wang Jing and Cui Yu both gasped, and after glancing at each other, Wang Guo said with some concern: "Brother Yan." Not long after Liulang conquered the Wa Kingdom, he now occupies Linyi again, and is about to make a move against Luzon. Is the speed of this expansion too fast, we all know that Taiwan as the base camp is only hundreds of thousands of Han people. With our population, it is already very reluctant to control Sanhan, Wa Guo and Linyi. If you add a Luzon, there might be a big problem! ”
Hearing Wang's analysis, Yanbei also secretly praised in his heart, thinking that he was worthy of being Wang An's son, and he was indeed a tiger father without a prince, and he knew the overall situation very clearly, and he also knew what Li Su lacked most now, but he didn't know that Li Su had already carried out large-scale immigration.
Thinking of this, Yan Bei smiled and told them about the immigrants, and also told them that because there were too many immigrants, Taiwan alone could no longer accommodate these immigrants, so Li Su set his sights on Luzon.
However, Cui Yuting put forward a different opinion and said: "Brother Yan, it is naturally a good thing to have more immigrants, but now that we have laid down Linyi, and this is an important grain producing area, and the land is no worse than that of Luzon, since this is the case, why not send those extra immigrants to Linyi, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble?" ”
Hearing Cui Yu's words, Yan Bei and Yang Jiu looked at each other and smiled, speaking of which Cui Yu's talent was no worse than that of Wang Yu, but after all, he was still young and had experienced relatively few things, plus although he was Li Su's eldest brother, he didn't know much about Li Su, so he made this suggestion.
I saw that Yanbei also replied with a smile: "Brother Cui doesn't know, although Linyi is good here, but Liulang's positioning here is only a food supply base, as for grain planting, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, it is better to hand it over to the locals of Linyi, we just need to buy their grain, give them some sweetness, and firmly hold Linyi in our hands, plus the five chieftains of Linyi have not been mastered by us, and it is not completely safe here, so in a short period of time, Rokuro won't send immigrants here! ”
However, Yanbei's explanation did not convince Cui Yu, only to see that he still frowned and said: "This is not right, although we can firmly control Linyi now, but there is no constant overall situation in the world, if you want to control a place for a long time, then there must be a certain number of people, for us, that is, there must be a large number of Han people to settle in Linyi, otherwise we can control the upper echelons of Linyi, I'm afraid it is not a long-term solution!" ”
Hearing this, Yan Bei also nodded slightly, if there was no follow-up, Cui Yu's analysis was indeed very reasonable, but he still explained unhurriedly: "Brother Cui, if you want to control a country, it is nothing more than to seize military power and finance, I won't talk about finance, Lin Yi's biggest income is the income from selling grain, which is all in the hands of our Han people, plus you are in charge of the court, so the finances can be said to be foolproof, as for the military power......"
When Yanbei said this, he deliberately paused for a moment, and then he spoke: "Military power is nothing more than the control of the army, and now the army of Linyi is all Linyi people, which is a very unstable factor, but His Highness has already thought of a solution to this, in the next period of time, the king's army of Linyi will all be transferred, some of them will go north by boat to serve as a garrison in the Japanese country, and the other part will enter Luzon Island with a part of the Japanese army to help deal with the tribal alliance on the island, As for the vacancy of the army here in Linyi, His Highness has already transferred a number of local troops from Samhanju, who will be responsible for the security and security here. ”
"Hiss~" Cui Yu and Wang Guo heard this, both of them gasped, they never thought that Li Yu would come up with such a solution, this is simply amazing, the three Han people came to Linyi to garrison the army, and the Japanese were garrisoned by the Linyi people, and the Japanese and Linyi people had to send a part of their troops to Luzon to be cannon fodder.
The advantages of this are obvious, the army is all young and strong men of one nationality, after they are transferred, most of the rest are old and weak women, and there is no resistance at all, and the army and the people stationed in the garrison are not the same nation, and there are likely to be conflicts between them, and the families of the army are in the hands of Li Su, so there is no need to worry about the local people rebelling through the army. In addition, even if the army rebelled, it would be difficult to gain the support of the local people, so it would be much easier to suppress the rebels.
"It's really a clever plan, it's just too poisonous!" Cui Yu unabashedly praised that this method of garrisoning troops in other places is indeed good, but it is not a good thing for these garrisons, after all, whether they want to or not, they will have to stay thousands of miles away from home for a few years or even longer, which is too cruel for some people.
"Hehe, if you are not of my race, their hearts will be different, there is no mercy to talk about these aliens at all, some are just strength and skill, and this method of garrisoning troops in other places is tantamount to putting a shackle around the necks of these aliens, as long as there are no problems within ourselves, then they will never be able to escape our control!" At this moment, Yang Jiu, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, he had done some shady work, he had seen all kinds of conspiracies, and in his opinion, as long as the goal could be achieved, then no matter what means were used, it was reasonable.
Hearing Yang Jiu speak, Cui Yu and Wang Guo didn't say anything more, and according to their guesses, this method of garrisoning troops in different places is likely to come from the hands of Li Su, don't look at Li Su's usual smile at people, and as a friend, there has never been a prince's shelf, but when he treats non-Han people, his methods are particularly cruel, such as the Jurchen, Khitan and other tribes in the Andong Protectorate, which are about to be exterminated by the slave team, and the Wa Kingdom is even more tossed. So judging from the above examples alone, Wang Kuang and Cui Yu have reason to believe that this method is likely to be thought up by Li Su.
Yanbei wants to leave, as friends, Cui Yu and Wang Guo are naturally a little sad, but at the same time they are also a little happy, because as soon as Yanbei leaves, Lin Yi needs to be in charge of the two of them, and the upper head only needs to be responsible to Li Su, and the power in their hands is naturally greater than before.
Originally, Wang Kuang and Yanbei planned to enter the Qi Wangfu to help Li Su after they were thirty years old, but after they took charge of Linyi's financial and personnel power, they had already tasted the wonderful taste of power, which made them decide to abandon business and politics in advance, anyway, with their current industry, it is enough to support the development of a big family, and they have also cultivated a lot of helpers in recent years, even if they leave them, the business empire of the Cui and Wang families can still operate.
And just when Yanbei was heading for Luzon in the east by boat, someone from the Wa Kingdom far north began to go north, and they also traveled by boat, but although the destination he and Yanbei arrived at were not the same, they were actually working hard for the same thing. (To be continued.) )
