Chapter 374: Weng Son-in-law (4)
Zhang Juzheng waved his hand, and on the map, several countries such as Goryeo, Ryukyu, and Japan were all included in the scope of the East India Company's attention. In the future, it is indispensable to send personnel to assist several countries in grasping national defense construction, organizing production, and carrying out exclusive trade with the Ming Dynasty.
As for the manpower, with one and a half battalions of Zhejiang soldiers as the backbone, and then recruiting young and strong people in Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangzhou, it is not a problem in terms of manpower. Financially, the East India Company had a lot of money, and Zhang Juzheng had sponsorship from the imperial court, and his salary was sufficient. There are also craftsmen he arranged to help Li Yanqing make guns and armor, and the quality of his equipment is not inferior to that of the Ming army, and the odds of victory are very great.
Zhang Juzheng said: "Liangguang is a demonstration area for the old man to do well, don't make a mistake for me, otherwise I won't be able to spare you." I don't want you to fight for power with Wu Guifang, but I want you to be a good assistant to him. When Guangdong has money, and then it is exhibited outside, there is no fear that it will not be able to control the east and the west and the two oceans in the hands of the national dynasty. The sea is the source of income, as long as we ensure the continuous flow of silver, our Ming Dynasty's national fortune can continue. As long as we wait until the high arch is dismissed, and the old man is the auxiliary, we must promote the Ming Dynasty to open up the five ports of trade. Guangzhou is a place with a lot to offer. But you've seen the Spaniards' battle plan, and maybe when you return to Canton, you'll have to face the enemy's thousands of troops, do you have the guts? ”
"There is the support of your father-in-law. Even if it is a mountain of knives and guns, I am not afraid, let alone a small Spanish Buddha? The son-in-law is not proficient in military affairs, but Daming has elite soldiers and strong generals, I just need to wait in the rear to enjoy the credit, what is there to dare to do. ”
"Don't underestimate the enemy. The Spaniards were good at fighting and were the best soldiers in the world. But the good thing. They are far overseas, and the troops that can fight in Daming are limited. Defeat the outnumbered. Treat guests as hosts. There is also an old soldier like Yu Dayou, so there should be no hindrance. If they do not come; Your East India Company will do business in the West. If they come, it will be a war merit from God. ”
"Father-in-law is taught." Li Yanqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Those people in Spain, in fact, my son-in-law didn't take them to heart. On the contrary, it is Guangxi Wei Yinbao and Sichuan are all barbaric, and they are all confidants. If they are allowed to sit big, the son-in-law is a little worried. What's more, there is still a person who knows how to buy cannons, and the origin of this person ......"
"Just like us." Zhang Juzheng made a final decision: "I estimate." He's the same person as we are. It's just that he wasn't lucky enough, he actually fell to Du Zhangman's side, and he wasn't smart enough, he really wanted to rebel. A bunch of barbarians, and they still want to turn the sky upside down? In fact, the layout of Du Zhangman's is not a day or two, they are looking for death by themselves, and the old man might as well give them a ride. ”
As Zhang Juzheng, who has been reincarnated many times, for those Tusi forces in the Ming Dynasty. Nature understands. However, knowing that all the people in charge will be opposed, and sending troops to exterminate them in advance are two different things. Unless the real evidence of Du Zhangman's capture is caught, it is impossible for the imperial court to use force against him. However, there is never only one way to deal with the enemy. As a civil servant of the Great Ming Dynasty. Some are the means to exterminate this group of barbarians.
Zhang Juzheng's means is resource control. Duzhangman's living materials cannot be self-sufficient, and salt and iron need to be purchased. Even if they have iron ore. Nor can iron be smelted. And a person can go days without eating, but not for days without salt. As for the iron. Can the troops who want to rebel leave the iron? You can't use stone weapons to tear up the Ming army with iron weapons.
But Zhang Juzheng and Jinyi Wei Zhu are thousands of years old. Dongchang Feng Bao formed a strong alliance. For the Sichuan salt road, the control is very strict, and countless eyeliners are arranged on the salt road.
Every time he buys salt, in fact, he is doing business with Jinyiwei and Dongchang. Not only do you have to pay a higher price, but the total amount of purchases is also strictly controlled. From the amount of salt it buys, it can even estimate the number of dingkou it has, and then analyze its military strength.
The biggest barrier to the capital is the natural danger, but those salt merchant teams that they regard as VIPs and are unimpeded are all Jinyiwei's secret agents. They had contact with the mountain people through guò, and they had mastered a lot of secret passages, and they also had relatively detailed information about the terrain and environment. If Da Ming moves another war against Du Zhangman, it will definitely not be as bad as the Chenghua Dynasty.
The list of people provided by Li Yanqing this time allowed Zhang Juzheng to grasp a number of available chess pieces, and through the monitoring of these people, he could achieve a complete victory in the intelligence war against Du Zhangman.
"Within the Ming Dynasty, there are too many unstable factors." Zhang Juzheng, who has been a man for several generations, is very clear about the current enemies of the Ming Dynasty.
"Du Zhangman, Wei Yinbao, Shui Xi'an, Banzhou Yang. Huguang's countless toasts, the demons of the White Lotus Sect. In the next life, I remembered the clear words of a sage, and if you hit it with one punch, you will not be able to throw a hundred punches. The battle against Duzhang is not only to be fought, but also to be fought well. Only by fighting this battle can we stop those toasts from wanting to rebel. ”
In another time and space, the Ming Dynasty did not fight well in the war of the Duzhang Barbarians, and also relied on the transfer of troops from the local Tusi, so that these Tusi mistakenly believed that the Ming were weak and unable to organize an offensive against them.
Not long after the rebellion of Yidu Zhangman subsided, the rebellion of Yang Yinglong in Banzhou broke out again. The frequent civil strife consumed the blood of the Ming Dynasty, making it more and more powerless in the external battle. Zhang Juzheng naturally couldn't allow the old things to be repeated this time, and several battles had to be fought not only well, but also beautifully.
Li Yanqing said: "The son-in-law is not talented, and he is willing to serve his father-in-law, Lao Taishan." ”
"You don't need to do this." Zhang Juzheng waved his hand, but he did not agree to his invitation. "Zeng Shengwu played well, so I decided to use him anyway. This place in Sichuan is not easy. The mountains and forests are dense and full of miasma, and maybe a mosquito bite will kill someone. If you have three long and two short, Ruolan will blame me for the rest of my life. So that kind of offense, you can hand it over to Lao Zeng, and he will definitely be able to handle it properly. But you're not useless, haven't you captured a beautiful female captive? It seems that what kind of head of the Heavenly Maiden Sect is? ”
Li Yanqing hurriedly said: "What? What do you have to say? ”
"Don't be afraid. The old man didn't say that he wanted you to hand over this female captive to see your virtue. This woman's Tiannu Sect said that the old man knew that their previous head had a little friendship with the old man back then, ....... Forget it, it's all ridiculous when you were young, and at this age, there's nothing to say. The slut didn't tell me the truth, and didn't mention their layout in Sichuan. This time, if you want to break the capital, the Heavenly Maiden Gate can take advantage of it. ”
"Father-in-law, are you saying that you will arrange a group of our people to Sichuan?"
"In fact, not only Sichuan, but also Guangxi. Since Wei Yinbao received help from the Heavenly Maiden Gate, he had to be controlled by it. Let this purple orchid arrange for a group of our people to go in. When the time comes, will they be attacked inside and outside, are you still afraid that they will not be destroyed? It's the same with that Magnolia, we can get through guò her, pull out all the hidden stakes of the White Lotus Sect, and let them be used by me. Don't sue me, you can't deal with Zi Youlan? Can you deceive Ruolan, and can't you deal with the head of a heavenly maiden? (To be continued!)
