Chapter 461: More Wokos Than Wakos

After all, Wang Yin is only Hu Zongxian's mastermind, and he can't decide for the master, after he and Tang Yi talked about it, he immediately got up and went back to the governor's mansion to report, and there were only two left in the house, He Xinyin and Tang Yi.

He Daxia sat there, looking east and west, looking like he wanted to say something.

"Mr. Fushan, if you have any questions, just say it."

He Xinyin wiped his beard and said with a smile: "Adults can see it?" ”

"Haha, Mr. Fushan, I still have this bit of eyesight." Tang Yi sighed, "It's not that I cherish my feathers and am afraid of taking responsibility, it's really not a trivial matter to recruit the chief of the Japanese people, even if it is done, after ten or eight years, it may be turned out, he Hu Zongxian regards the fight against the Japanese as the biggest cause in his life, and he still doesn't dare to easily mix, how can I rush to the front line?" ”

Perhaps thinking that this was too realistic and selfish, Tang Yi smiled again: "But I believe that there is a way to solve the difficulty." ”

He Xinyin sighed and said, "My lord, I can't hide it, when I went undercover on the side of the Japanese Kou, I met Xu Hai and talked to him, this person does have the intention of surrendering to the imperial court." It's just that he is cunning and suspicious, and he has been fighting with the court for so many years, and he will never bow his head easily, he often says that with his men, at least he must be the chief soldier, and he also has to write iron coupons to protect his Xu family for generations of wealth before he is willing to surrender, you say, can this court agree? ”

He Xinyin sighed, but Tang Yi's eyes lit up, and he saw that He Xinyin's gaze had changed, just like a wealth fan seeing cultural relics, full of blazing light, which scared He Daxia.

"My lord, is there anything wrong with my words?"

"No, what Brother Fushan said is too good."

Tang Yi really felt that He Xinyin's guy was really amazing, he was obviously reckless, but his hands and eyes were all over the sky, and he entered the room. The high-ranking officials of the ministry were polite to him, and when they arrived at the side of the Japanese Kou, they were also guests.

It's just like the legendary knight, and if you want to solve the problem of the Japanese Kou, most of them will fall on him.

Tang Yi looked around vigilantly, and He Xinyin comprehended. He hurriedly got up and spun around, closed the windows and doors, and even poked the wall with his sword, and stomped on the ground to make sure that there was no eavesdropping, and then sat down.

"What do you have to say, He Mou will go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up."

"Brother Fushan is serious." Tang Yi smiled: "I simply confessed to Brother Fushan, what Wang Yin said is right." The Japanese can't just rely on killing, but recruiting an will bring disaster, and after thinking about it, there is only one way, that is, to attract trouble. ”

He Xinyin frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

"Mr. Fushan, have you seen those Western merchants?"

"I've seen it, why haven't I seen it!" He Xinyin laughed and said, "Say it's a businessman." It's a bunch of pirates, and their merchant ships are all armed. When I was at sea, I robbed two Western merchant ships, which were filled with gold cakes, such a big piece. ”

He Xinyin raised a fist the size of a vinegar bowl. Shook and shook. It was the first time in his life that he saw so much gold, it was really shocking, and they all said that fools have stupid blessings, and the blessings of those red-haired devils are really not shallow.

"Brother Fushan, what you said is good. Westerners are indeed both businessmen and thieves, and there is no difference between them and Wang Zhi and Xu Hai. The difference is that they plundered with the support of their country, and the king even sat with them to share the dividends, and rewarded the pirate chiefs with official titles and regarded them as national heroes. ”

"What?"

He Xinyin was really shocked, he really couldn't accept it, officials and bandits, just ice and fire, how can they be confused. If the imperial court supports robbery, wouldn't it be a robbery for all the people?

"My lord, how did the Xiyi officials and bandits establish a country?"

"Hahaha, they don't pay attention to hypocritical benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, nor do they have any three outlines and five constants, and they pursue practical interests. As long as they give enough money, they can betray their ancestors and their gods. Tang Yi smiled bitterly: "I also know that this may not be appropriate, but one yin and one yang, there is a red-faced Guan Gong, and there is a white-faced Cao Cao, why can we only be a Westerner to loot and make a windfall, so we just look stupid?" That's stupid, isn't it? ”

Suck!

He Xinyin has always had the reputation of being a madman, and he also felt that he was deviant enough, but compared to Tang Yi, he was simply a standard Taoist gentleman.

You're Tang Liuyuan!

actually instigated robbery, if this spreads, I don't know how many people will be scared to death?

He Xinyin was so shocked that his mouth opened wide and he couldn't speak. After a while, he calmed down and began to think about Tang Yi's words again.

"My lord, do you want Wang Zhi and Xu Hai to rob the Westerners?"

Tang Yi smiled, did not speak, but turned around, took a small wooden box, unfolded it, took out a sheepskin map from it, and spread it in front of He Xinyin.

"Mr. Fushan, please look here, the area of this island is almost one-third of Fujian, the Three Kingdoms period was called Yizhou, and later called Liuqiu, since my dynasty, there are many names, there are chicken coops, Beigang, Dayuan, Taiwan, Dongfan, etc., lonely hanging on the sea, the soil is fertile, the products are abundant, the residents of the island are mixed with Han and Yi, very backward. If we can encourage Wang Zhi and Xu Hai and others to occupy this place, whether it is Wang Haihai or robbing Western merchants, as long as it does not endanger the Ming Dynasty and the two sides trade peacefully, we will give economic help, they will protect the safety of the waterway, and the two sides will complement each other. After a long period of exchanges, I estimate that there will be twenty or thirty years of hard work, and the number of Han people will increase greatly, and it will be logical to include Dongfan in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, which can not only solve the rebellion of the Japanese Invaders, but also expand the territory. With Dongfan as a sea barrier, it can also defend against the invasion of Xiyi, which is just a lot of one stone, what does Brother Fushan think? ”

Oops!

He Xinyin was really defeated by Tang Yi's whimsy, and looked around the map, looking left and right, and the more he looked, the more he felt that it made sense.

More than 100,000 Japanese robbers are entrenched in the southeast coast, and if they don't rob the Ming Dynasty, they have nothing to eat at all, and Zhao'an is in trouble. But when they get to the east, the island has enough supplies to survive, and there are many merchant ships coming and going, and they can continue to rob the great cause.

The troubles in the southeast can be easily solved, and it is indeed a good way to get the best of both worlds.

"My lord, I still have two doubts."

"Brother Fushan, please speak."

"Wang Zhi and Xu Hai are both heroes, let them entrench in the east, and their strength has increased greatly, will they turn around and threaten Daming?"

Tang Yi smiled: "Brother Fushan, although Dongfan is a safe place, it is not enough to threaten Daming. Besides, if they want to develop their power, why bother with the Ming Dynasty? ”

As he spoke, Tang Yi swiped his finger south, and suddenly countless jade-like islands appeared in front of him, many of which were much larger than those in the east.

"These places are either occupied by Xiyi, or a group of barbarian natives, how can they be easier to deal with than the Ming Dynasty, as long as they settle down in Dongfan, I don't even mind if they attack these areas, the more they occupy, the better, expand the territory, isn't it good?"

"Persimmon picks up soft pinch!" He Xinyin clapped his hands and smiled: "Yes, it's really good, but Dongfan is a land of smoke and miasma, savages are rampant, Wang Zhi and Xu Hai may not be willing to take risks." ”

He Xinyin finally got to the point, and Tang Yi smiled slightly.

"Brother Fushan, this requires us to use our brains, how to beat the Japanese robbers to the point that they can't gain a foothold in the southeast sea, and then give them a way to live, and at that time, they won't go to Dongfan obediently."

"High, really smart!"

He Xinyin laughed and said: "My lord is far-sighted, He is really a five-body thrower. ”

Tang Yi believes that what you can't get on the battlefield can't be obtained at the negotiation table, especially in the face of extremely cunning pirate leaders like Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, if you don't give them some color, you will kick your nose in the face, and you don't know what to do.

Before recruiting the rebels, they must be dealt a head-on blow to the Japanese and let them know that the government is invincible, and only in this way can they be forced to obey obediently.

Tang Yi discussed with Hu Zongxian for three days and three nights, and finally invited Tan Lun, Lu Bo, and Tang Kekuan to discuss a new combat strategy.

Tang Yi also took great pains to give this policy a code name, called the "Xuanwu Project", to put it bluntly, it is a turtle and a poisonous snake.

First of all, it is necessary to establish a complete set of defense systems along the coasts of Zhejiang, Nanzhili, and Fujian, arrange for ships to patrol the coastal waters, set up lookouts on the shores, build high walls in villages and towns, and rush to each other's aid.

This set of things is nothing unusual, it has been done all along, but this time the scale of investment is larger, Tang Yi asked Hu Zongxian for three million taels.

In the name of strengthening the defense, it was spent on building roads, repairing ports and rivers, and building bridges and straightways.

A lot of silver was sprinkled, and Hu Zongxian soon found the benefits.

Due to the large amount of input, hundreds of thousands of workers need to be requisitioned, and the idle laborers in the southeast suddenly have a livelihood, and the purchase of bricks, tiles and timber has enlivened carpenters, masons, brick kilns, and steel workshops.

The driving force for people to live is hope, and seeing that the life of the family is getting better and better, who is willing to risk killing their heads to become a widow.

Of course, the effect of this method is still too slow, Tang Yi proposed to select the elite, each thousand people to form a team, equipped with horses, ships, and partial box carts, as a quick blow fist, encounter a small group of Japanese robbers, decisively eat them, and when they encounter a large group of Japanese bandits, they rely on the speed advantage to delay the delay, exhaust the enemy, and wait for the arrival of the army.

Tang Yi has a more ruthless hand, in addition to the land, he also organized the naval division, Yu Dayou's fleet now has more than 30 new warships, a group of five ships, changed the mode of defensive operations in the past, began to take the initiative to attack, and even looted the Japanese robbers!

"If the Japanese rob one tael of silver, the sailor will take back two taels, plunder one person, take two of them, burn a village, and burn his two islands. You hit yours, I'll hit mine. When calculating the merits of the war, we do not stick to the victory or defeat of one city or one place, but only look at the total amount of losses of the Japanese invaders, and the losses of the Japanese invaders are more than ours, which is victory! ”

The Ming army was not tired of dealing with the attack of the Japanese invaders, but instead attacked the Japanese with a roar, and within three months alone, Yu Dayou's troops snatched back more than 300,000 taels of silver and killed more than 5,000 Japanese invaders.

Among them, the biggest loss is Xu Hai, he is crying, what bullshit officers and soldiers, it is even worse than a wolf! (To be continued.) )
