Chapter 16: A New Mission for the Pirate Regiment
Hearing that Zhao Xiaoxi was as expected, he still appointed him as the commander of the military department, and Li Yuncong, who was nearly forty years old, also knew that this was the first time to reward meritorious deeds. If Zhao Xiaoxi can really achieve great things in the future, he may also be able to worship his generals.
Regarding the reorganization proposed by Zhao Xiaoxi, Li Yuncong also felt that this method was very thoughtful. It can also take a step to prevent the occurrence of pirate civil strife. And this choice is bound to affect the future of the pirates.
It's just that Li Yuncong knows that if he can live a comfortable life, who would want to do such a life-fighting thing? Although they no longer practice piracy, their style of conduct is undoubtedly much looser than that of the official army.
After talking about the reorganization of the pirates, Zhao Xiaoxi said again: "Yun Cong, in addition to the affairs of the navy, Xinnancheng also needs to form an army battalion. The provisional establishment was 500 men, except for the officers in the battalion, who were selected from the navy, and the soldiers were all selected by the immigrants.
This matter, you and Yan Lu discuss it together. Although this king knows, no one wants to eat soldier food these days. But after you go down, you can tell the people that as long as they succeed in joining the army, their families can enjoy certain discounts.
The New South City is just the first city we want to build. In the future, the entire treasure island will be ours, and as long as the officers and soldiers who have contributed to the construction of the treasure island, this king will give their families tax care.
In addition, you should also come up with a specific figure on how much money you pay a month. In short, a strong navy alone can only take us further. But if you want to occupy a place, you have to rely on the army, understand? ”
Thinking that it will sweep the countries along the southeast coast in the future, without a strong army, it will definitely not be possible to rely on the navy alone. What's more, the secret workshop he set up in the secret camp in the north can now all be moved here to accelerate its expansion.
In the past, in the secret camp, everything was cautious. I don't want the court to find out what they have done. Now overseas, everything is up to him. Take out something epoch-making, and I'm sure these subordinates won't say anything.
With the foundation he has laid in recent years, and Zhao Xu also has some ability, Zhao Xiaoxi feels that Da Song should be able to hold on for a while. According to history, Zhao Xu still has seven years to live. These seven years were enough for him to sweep the overseas countries.
Coming overseas to develop some time-catching equipment and weapons can also effectively avoid letting Fanbang know. It is undoubtedly a good choice to use the natives of the coast as weapons testers.
When it returns to the interior one day, his mature epoch-making army will be able to directly sweep the countries of Fanbang. The choice given to them is much simpler, and if they don't surrender, they have only one way to die.
Sometimes, wars may not have to last. Only by preserving the vitality of the nation as much as possible can Cho Hyo-seok be able to do so in the future. The glory of the Han nation is sprinkled in every corner of the earth.
At the time of Cho's plan, he hoped to enter Europe in the future, and even North and South America, which are still very barren. As long as he has a strong navy, he can transfer all the people of the Great Song Dynasty there to open up the country.
Of course, this kind of plan is not something he can accomplish alone, but he hopes to plant the seeds of conquering continents and seas. For the Han nation. Plant this seed that is unwilling to be lonely, and let yellow skin appear on all continents of the world.
After talking about military plans. Zhao Xiaoxi quickly said: "Regarding the head of the ministry, this king has decided to be the eldest brother of this king, Zhao Xiaoqian. He will be responsible for the management of the evaluation and appointment of relevant officials, and I ask for your cooperation.
In addition, it is related to the formation of the criminal department. The chief office of the Criminal Department is in charge of Liu Laoshi. Veterans who will be eliminated from the Ministry of War. will act as the arrest and official of the criminal department. Liu Laoshi, served as the first county magistrate of Xinnancheng. ”
Looking at a middle-aged man sitting below, looking loyal and honest, everyone present knew it. This guy used to be the criminal officer of the Criminal Department. Now the pirates have a civil dispute with the base over military discipline. He is responsible.
The name and appearance make people feel that others are like their names, but everyone present knows that this is a guy who kills people without blinking. If you think that his appearance and name mean that he is loyal and honest, it is a big mistake.
Faced with Zhao Xiaoxi's appointment, Liu Laoshi seemed a little surprised, but quickly got up and said, "Thank you for your trust!" ”
Since being subdued by Zhao Xiaoxi, Liu Laoshi has always played the role of a smiling tiger. From the day he was exiled and dismissed from his post but was rescued, he Liu Laoshi said that everything is only Zhao Xiaoxi's head.
After the six ministries appointed the commanders of the five ministries, the remaining chief officials of the Ministry of Rites soon fell to Tian Youfu, who was born in a merchant family. For this appointment, Tian Youfu seemed a little surprised.
But soon Zhao Xiaoxi said: "Youfu, at present, the affairs of the Ministry of Rites are mainly to attract investment and set up factories. The workshop of the king's secret camp will be transferred to the treasure island in a few days, and you must choose a place as soon as possible.
In addition, it is with the border countries, as well as the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty. All the materials we need, food, cloth and minerals, must be stockpiled as soon as possible to meet the next round of great development of New South City, the task is very heavy! ”
Listening to Zhao Xiaoxi's emotional voice, Tian Youfu also understood that this was a kind of trust. Although I felt a little empty, I knew that this was a very rare opportunity. As long as you can sit firmly in this position, the future is bright!
The task of the Internal Affairs Mansion naturally fell to the housekeeper of the Xu Palace. For this task, everyone present did not say anything. They all know that everything on the entire island is, to put it bluntly, Zhao Xiaoxi said something.
Arrange all the tasks, Zhao Xiaoxi looked at the subordinates gathered together, and said expectantly: "Whether the new South City can be successfully built is related to our long-term plan for the future, so the burden on your shoulders is very heavy.
It's easy to say from scratch, but it's not easy to make it, so you and this king must cheer up. I would like to send you a word, that is, 'no agriculture, no stability, no work, no wealth, no business, no life, no army', all of which are indispensable.
In the future, the new South City will mainly be built into a trade city. But the amount of food determines whether the relocated people can eat enough. And the stability of the factory determines whether we can take out the goods to sell in Xinnancheng.
When things are produced, how to exchange them for money requires us to use the fleet to sell them back. If you can make more money, it is inevitable that some people will be jealous, so the army is the cornerstone of guarding money and family.
Therefore, this king will be with you for three months in New South. After the New Year, next year, the spring equinox will begin, and the king will go to Qiongzhou to take office. During this time, you must all brace your spirits and continue to work hard to build a new South City. ”
gave his definition of New South City to these subordinates. Everyone knows that Cho Hyo-seok's pie is very tempting. But whether they can eat it or not depends entirely on the efforts of each of them.
When the discussion was over, Zhao Xiaoxi left Li Yuncong alone. The rest of the personnel began to discuss with Zhao Xiaoqian, the head of the new department, the composition of each department, as well as the affairs that the corresponding officials were responsible for.
In addition, in order to facilitate the separation of responsibilities in the future, each ministry will have a separate office at the base. In this way, if the people have something, they also know what to find the yamen, and they will not always report to Zhao Xiaoxi for everything.
When only Zhao Xiaoxi and Li Yuncong were left in the conference hall, he looked at the sea dart master who was rescued back then. No one knew that he would become a general under Zhao Xiaoxi.
In fact, in terms of force, Li Yuncong's force value is not as good as the deputy commander sent by Zhao Xiaoxi to the pirate group. Even the commanders of those sub-bases are not as good, but his management ability makes these sub-base commanders who are stronger than him believe in him.
Even Yue Laosan, who is currently the commander of Qiongzhou Island, has the temper of the eldest in the sky, the second in the earth, and the third in his life all day long. After being subdued by Zhao Xiaoxi, he was sent to the Skeleton Pirate Group, and he was also very convinced of Li Yuncong's ability.
From this point, it can also be shown that Li Yuncong does have the ability to command and manage the troops. Therefore, Zhao Xiaoxi, who originally wanted to concurrently serve as the chief officer of the Ministry of War, finally decided to give this position to Li Yuncong.
In addition, the first commander of the Navy was also handed over to Li Yuncong. For capable subordinates, Cho Hyo-seok will create opportunities for them. I don't feel that Li Yuncong didn't bring it out in person, so he doubted his loyalty.
The two exchanged a few words, and Zhao Xiaoxi quickly said: "Yun Cong, this reorganization may be more troublesome. Next, you gather all the commanders of the sub-base back, and I will tell them about the situation at that time.
In addition, to build such a large city, the king plans to let them go out. The recent immigration matter, for the time being, let them capture some indigenous slaves, first, to build the city needs manpower, and second, the factory also needs manpower.
In addition, you send an order to Zheng Sanshui, asking him to buy some young women from Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom as soon as possible. It's better to buy than to rob. As you must know, there are many young people on the island who are of the age of starting a family.
If there are no women, we will only rely on moving people from the interior, which will make immigrants feel uprooted from their homeland. If they are allowed to have a family and children, then they will truly consider this place as their new home. ”
As soon as Li Yuncong heard this, he knew that the next task of the Skeleton Pirate Group would not be easy. Fortunately, with the expansion of their power, they are more familiar with the situation of many coastal states.
As for the purchase of female slaves, as long as the money is spent, it should not be a problem. And Zhao Xiaoxi's request is that this matter must be dealt with before the Chinese New Year.
As long as the marriageable women brought to the island, priority is given to the excellent pirates of the pirate group. Secondly, consider the marriageable and young things in the immigrant village. In short, the pirate group must treat this as a big deal.
The main reason why they chose Goryeo and Wa is that the women of these two countries are obedient. To be precise, women in these two countries are under the status of the women, and the price of buying them is relatively cheap. Anyway, if it's used for distribution, it's going to be used!
