Chapter 446: Internal Worries

What is a long-planned plan, Masayuki Hoshina quickly understood. Breakfast went on quickly, Chen Xie put down his chopsticks after eating, and Bao Ke Zhengzhi only ate a small bowl of rice porridge, and immediately put down his chopsticks. I don't want Chen Xie to smile and say: "You continue, you haven't slept all night, the water and rice haven't entered, and you need to replenish your body." ”

"Thank you for your care, the villain can hold on." Chen Xie smiled noncommittally, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, got up and said, "Since that's the case, then it's good to follow and take a look." After speaking, his fingers suddenly frowned, looked at Baoke Masayuki's outfit, shook his head and said: "This is too ugly, come on, take him to the bath and change clothes, and tidy up his hair by the way." ”

There are toilets on the train, and Masayuki Hoshina is taken to a carriage where he gets a haircut and a shower before changing his clothes. The Japanese are short in stature, and it is really troublesome to solve the problem of this military uniform, but fortunately, there is no shortage of female soldiers on Chen Xie's special train, and it is not difficult to get a new military uniform for him to change into. Of course, he didn't know that this was a trumpet uniform worn by female soldiers.

Shaving his bald head is no longer an unacceptable thing for him. When people are faced with a crisis, they must first not think about the national righteousness, but about their own strength, and then about other things. The same is true of Masayuki Hoshina, who has no hole cards anymore and does not want to be loyal to the emperor, the symbol of the Yamato nation. It's natural to choose a thigh to hug it. Not to mention, the Japanese emperor of this year is an ornament in the minds of the daimyo.

On the battlefield, the coalition forces that can't defeat the powerful feudal forces can only take refuge in more powerful masters to survive, which is a natural choice. Ordinary samurai are like this, and ordinary people don't care who will be the master. The formation of the consciousness of the so-called Yamato nation in Japan was the result of the Japanese government's popularization of education and propaganda after the Meiji Restoration.

After freshening up, I was taken into a simplely decorated carriage. Unlike before, when I had breakfast, there was a carpet in the carriage. In the middle of the carriage is a huge long table, and the rest of the decoration is just a few desks. Chen Xie stood in front of the real table, holding his hands and looking down at the table. Baoke Masayuki came over and bowed: "I've seen the lord!" ”

Chen Xie nodded, raised his hand and pointed to the map on the table and said, "Look, is there anything that needs to be added?" When he looked down at the huge map spread out on the table, it was as if someone had poured a scoop of ice water into his neck in winter. The feeling of bitter cold crawling all over the body in an instant. Looking at the map in front of you, the things that the Japanese themselves drew are also embarrassed to call maps?

It doesn't matter if Masayuki Baoshi can't read the warp and weft, but looking at the names of the villages on them and some marked paths, he feels that his whole body is stiff. He still deliberately found some familiar places to see, and some villages he didn't know what they were called, and there were clear marks on them. If he was more helpless before, at this moment he really surrendered completely. "Lord, my subordinates think. There is no more accurate map of Japan in the world than this one. It's just that what these lines represent, the humble position is not very clear. Baoke Masayuki suddenly found that he had a lot to learn, and Chen Xie said casually: "This is the equal warp, this is the weft, and this is the scale." I don't have time to go into detail now, but you'll know it later. ”

Bao Ke Zhengzhi is a few years older than Chen Xie, and he is still a fart, so he immediately bowed his head and bowed: "Please allow your subordinates to send your eldest son to Daming to study." Chen Xie smiled with satisfaction when he heard this. It's no wonder that this guy can be trusted by Tokugawa Iemitsu. To put it mildly, in the position of the shogun. He was also one of Tokugawa Iemitsu's rivals.

In fact, this is a very common thing in Japan, and giving hostages is an absolutely necessary statement. Of course, it depends on the strength of this lord, if you really can't do it, you should have to do the opposite. Chen Xie was no problem when he was here, but what about the future? This depends on Chen Xie's castration of Japan, and the castration of Japan by the US imperialists is very good.

Now in this era. Japan really doesn't have much to offer other than its population. In a sense, cleaning up Japan during this period was a loss-making business. The input is huge, and the output is not proportional. It can be said that Chen Xie's subordinates do not practice martial arts, and they do not agree with this approach.

The opposition was heard when the special train arrived in Shenyang. Chen Xie finally heard it. It wasn't said by his descendants, but around the bend, after a simple greeting ceremony, Qian Qianyi, who was seeking to enter the cabinet, asked with a smile in the carriage: "Grandpa, Dongying's property is barren, why bother to fight?" When will the financial and military resources spent be recovered? ”

Hearing this, Chen Xie was quite shocked in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. What does this mean? This shows that the subordinates who never questioned their orders in the past have begun to speak for their own interests after reaching a height in life. There is no doubt that this kind of self-interest is in contradiction with Chen Xie's interests, just like the contradiction between the Ming imperial family and the Wenchen group.

"Mr. Mu Zhai, don't persuade you in this matter." Chen Xie replied quietly, and then began to ramble and pull away from the topic. Arrived at the station, the former Shenyang Forbidden City. Standing in front of the martial arts archway, looking at the actual location of the palace, looking up at the gate of the high wall with his hands behind his back, he smiled and said: "Who lived in this place before, everyone should not have forgotten it, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Liaodong Wenwu were abnormal, what does this mean? Without waiting for everyone to react, Chen Xie turned around and said lightly: "Let's go back, I'm tired and want to rest." ”

Under normal circumstances, Chen Xie would have to attend the reception banquet, and now he will send it directly to everyone, and the excuse is still very sufficient. Everyone had to disperse, Chang Shiren quietly sent everyone away, turned around and came back, Chen Xie was still standing at the door of the martial arts archway, and when he saw him coming, he smiled and said: "This place will not live in the future, set up a special department, manage repairs, and open it to the people." Don't forget to charge your entrance fee. ”

Seeing Chen Xie mention this matter with a smile, Chang Shiren's mood became nervous. Qian Qianyi wanted to persuade Chen Xie, he knew about it, but he pretended not to know. It's not what it used to be, many of these old people in Liaodong are slacking off, and they are living a good life, who is willing to do a loss-making business. It can be said that crossing the sea to conquer Dongying, most of the civil and military people in Liaodong do not approve of it.

"Grandpa, if you don't live here, where do you live?" Chang Shiren subconsciously asked, but Chen Xie smiled and said: "You are the landlord, do you want me to find a place to live by myself?" Chang Shiren was dumbfounded: "This ......." Chen Xie waved his hand: "Okay, don't persuade it." When I saw this deep palace compound, I thought of the gloom inside. It's a place where there aren't many people living all year round, and it's not very popular, so I don't want to live in a place like this. I see, I have lived in this place for a long time, and nine times out of ten I will follow in the footsteps of Huang Taiji. ”

With this sentence, Chang Shiren was covered in a cold sweat, snapped upright, looked at eye level, and said loudly: "Grandpa, you are despicable." The smile on Chen Xie's face suddenly disappeared cleanly, and he looked at him with a sneer and said, "Are you confused? Why can't I understand this? As a Liaodong Bo, with 100,000 heavy soldiers in his hands, how can you be a fool? ”

This sentence can be described as heart-wrenching, Chang Shiren stood straight, did not dare to refute at all, and said loudly: "The humble position is selfish for a while, please punish the grandfather." Chen Xie looked him up and down, and saw that there was sweat on his forehead, so he put away his cold face a little, and snorted heavily: "Don't think I don't know what you think in your heart." It's not good for you to play Dongying, your current position is high enough, you don't want to toss anymore, just stay in this position and sit down. Dongying's property is poor, and once the war starts, all the materials and military supplies consumed will be raised from Liaodong, and it will be difficult for you to convince those civil officials who are in charge of finances at that time. Well, I have calculated an account for you, since the first year of the establishment of the new year, the average annual tax revenue in Liaodong is about five million silver yuan, excluding the forty percent handed over to the Beijing Division, deducting thirty percent of the local expenses, and deducting some huge and complicated expenses, counting one percent of the tax. This means that there will be a surplus of one million silver yuan per year. Over the years, the ground in Liaodong has been calm, and there have been no natural disasters, so you have saved seven or eight million in your hands. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xie stopped, Chang Ren sweated like rain, and still stood up and said solemnly: "Grandpa, you are too little, from the first year of the establishment of the new era to the present, the surplus on the books of the Liaodong Governor's Mansion is 13 million. ”

"Oh, yes, a lot more than I do. After this battle is fought, it will cost 5 million, plus the money for the resettlement of the Japanese aftermath, it will cost about 5 million. Well, that's enough, I don't have to make another payment. After Chen Xie finished speaking, he was happy, Chang Shiren just breathed a sigh of relief, and Chen Xie pulled his face down again.

"After you go back, draw up a list, forget about the civil officials, and those who oppose the Eastern Crusade among the military generals will be sent to retire. Whatever his position, since he has no ambition, then don't stay in my army. And you, after the end of the Eastern Crusade, don't stay in Liaodong, go to India to be a governor. ”

Hearing this, Chang Shiren was completely relieved, and the fear of Chen Xie for these old people was deep in the bone marrow. The higher you are, the stronger this feeling is. "Grandpa, some people oppose the Eastern Crusade, in fact, because they have no interests in it."

"You acquiesce, you don't want to offend people, do you?" Chen Xie's words can be described as a knife stabbing in the heart, Chang Shiren's expression was bitter, and he sighed: "Officers at all levels in Liaodong are fragrant and sweet in the eyes of local officials and businessmen. Many of them have married local officials and wealthy businessmen, and their interests are complicated. There are many things, and it's not good to say much about the lowly position, they are all brothers who have been born and died. ”

"Find a place to live first, and then let Li Hunyuan come to see me." After saying this, Chen Xie turned around and got into the carriage. Chang Shiren hurriedly sent someone to arrange, and there was naturally a place to live, and a wealthy merchant who made wool textiles in the city built a garden. (To be continued......)
