Nominally, the Ming Dynasty has nine prefectures in Fujian, so there should be nine guard commanders, each with 5,600 guards, and the total strength should reach more than 50,000 people.

But fools know how erosive the Ming Dynasty is now, the guard system in the early Ming Dynasty, helped the imperial court spend very little money to feed millions of soldiers and horses, but after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the guard has been abolished.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the guard was simply a cancer, and it became a big burden for the Ming Dynasty, except for devouring a large amount of military food and military spending every year, it had no effect, but the guard did not dare to dismantle it at all, after all, it was a violent institution, and once it was bad, it would be completely unstable.

Outside the guards, the border army has a little combat effectiveness, and as for the 200,000 troops in the Beijing camp, there is no difference between them and the guards.

Now, Wang Xuan has such a large number of troops in Fujian, if he still operates like this in Guangdong, in the future, Wang Xuan's regular army will reach 100,000, which is simply terrifying.

Qi Hongliang couldn't imagine what Wang Xuan was going to do, whether he was going to do something unspeakable!

However, he has already gotten on Wang Xuan's boat, and he will definitely not be able to get down.

"Sir, this military power is useless, let's not fight." Qi Hongliang asked as cautiously as possible.

Wang Xuan didn't speak, just looked at Qi Hongliang, and after watching for a full minute, Qi Hongliang sweated.

Suddenly, Wang Xuan smiled, "Okay, I know what you're worried about, if you have something to say, just ask, what's taboo about this." ”

Qi Hongliang swallowed his saliva fiercely, of course there is a taboo in this special, rebellion, this is going to turn the sky upside down, who can ask so directly.

"I don't mean to rebel, let's put it this way, the emperor, it's really not human, he is locked up in the Forbidden City all day long, like a special prisoner, what does that mean, he says that he is rich in the world, but I dare to say it now, this emperor is not as rich as Lao Tzu!"

"Food, play, use, I'm better than the emperor now, I'm crazy to want to sit in that position."

Qi Hongliang didn't know what to say for a while, that was the emperor, the most powerful position in the world, who didn't want to sit in that position, how could it be that Wang Xuan's mouth became a position that only a madman would sit in.

But to say that what Wang Xuan said is not true at all, it is not right, at least the emperor is definitely not as rich as Wang Xuan now, and it is estimated that he can't catch up with Wang Xuan if he wants to eat, drink and have fun......

Thinking about it this way, that position doesn't seem to be interesting, even if it is powerful, Qi Hongliang also understands in his heart, don't look at the emperor who is the most powerful man in the whole world, and a word can decide the life and death of ten thousand people, but in fact, the absolute majority of orders require the consent of the cabinet.

If there was a real conflict with the will of the majority of the court, the cabinet had the right to completely reject the emperor's will.

That is to say, the size of the emperor's power depends on the cabinet and the princes above the court, take the 'national capital dispute' as an example, the Wanli Emperor was not defeated in the end, and was forced by the people above the court to send King Fu to Luoyang, and finally honestly agreed that the eldest son was the crown prince.

That is, on some irrelevant issues, the emperor can really make a decision with one word, and this kind of thing, Wang Xuan can also make a decision with one word.

Take the current Fujian as an example, Wang Xuan is the real king of Fujian, and his will can be thoroughly implemented in Fujian, and it is not easy for the imperial court to reach Fujian, unless the imperial court is determined to mobilize a large army to pacify Fujian.

It's just that Qi Hongliang is really not optimistic about the so-called imperial court army, and he knows very well what kind of virtue the imperial court soldiers and horses are.

If Wang Xuan is really ruthless, at least he can destroy half of the Ming Dynasty.

"What the hell is this for, sir?" Since there is no intention of rebellion, what is the point of Wang Xuan doing so much? He really couldn't figure it out.

I'm going to tell you this kind of thing in order to get monstrous luck!

"Of course, I want to be a generation of virtuous ministers and leave my name in history, I want to repair the leaky warship of the Ming Dynasty, and make him even bigger."

Wang Xuan's words were so righteous that Qi Hongliang almost didn't scan those little eyes out of his sockets!

Why do you say the same as the truth?

If I hadn't known what you do in my daily life, I would have believed it.

Which virtuous minister is like you, framing and framing, pointing to the deer as a horse, raising private soldiers, and destroying the family at every turn, is this what a virtuous minister should do?

How do you think this is a big traitor!!

A collection of Zhao Gao, Huo Guang, Liu Jin and other ancient and modern traitorous ministers.

However, this traitor is better than a loyal minister, not to mention what happens after death, at least when he is alive, he can act recklessly, scold Fang Xuan, and be chic at will.

It's just that after death, the family will have a hard time.

How is Huo Guang, how is Zhang Juzheng, in the end, it is not ......

"Isn't Mr. worried about what happened behind him, you must know that Huo Guang and Zhang Juzheng have nothing to do!"

"Haha, of course I'm not worried, it's because Huo Guang and Zhang Juzheng didn't do it thoroughly, in the end, they still saved some face for the emperor, the emperor's power is too great, it's time to cut it."

"Besides, as the prefect of Fuzhou, do you know how big the south is?"

"This ......" Qi Hongliang was a little confused, and he didn't know why he went to the south, but after thinking about it for a while, he still opened his mouth and said, "The south is very big, but it is all a wild land, and the poisonous insects and beasts are densely covered with no people, how can it be compared with my Central Plains land, Mr. doesn't want to escape there, right?" ”

"You're stupid at reading, aren't you? This kind of rotten Confucianism, how did you think about it before you said it? If you can't change your mind, your future achievements are limited. ”

Being reprimanded by Wang Xuan, Qi blushed a little, he also knew that Wang Xuan had no malicious intentions, so he humbly asked: "Please also ask Mr. for advice." ”

"Let me first ask you how much time did it take for the new city to surpass the Fuzhou Fucheng in terms of construction?"

Qi Hongliang couldn't help but say something, and then he remembered the matter of Xincheng.

In ancient times, it took more than ten years for a city to be built and completed, and countless manpower and material resources were consumed during this period.

But it took less than two years for this new city to surpass Fuzhou from construction to completion.

And as far as he knew, the entire city was invested and built by Wang Xuan alone.

This was simply impossible in ancient times, and even in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the richest man Shen Wansan could not reach this kind of financial strength.

And he also knew that Wang Xuan didn't have much property before investing in the construction of the new city.

And after the construction of the whole new city was completed, he became richer and richer, he didn't think about it before, and now he thinks about it like a fantasy.

What happens when the more money is spent?

He didn't understand this, but he knew that the reason why the new city was built quickly was all due to the power of cement, and this alone was a hundred times different from the previous way.

"This ...... Cement? ”

"You must know that the small Liuqiu Island in the south can be reached in 5 days by boat, which is about the same distance from our Fuzhou to Zhangzhou, where there is a Jianan Plain, which can develop more than 3 million acres of arable land."

"As for the construction of the city, do you think I need to worry about it, there is no need for even a city wall."

"In the past, successive dynasties did not develop this big island, the main reason was that the shipping remained unchanged and there were difficulties in building the city, but now this kind of problem is no longer a problem."

"If you start from the south of Xiaoryukyu, there is a Luzon island to the south, which is continuous, and there are three Fujian islands."

"If you start from Guangdong, Annan is even larger, and the area of cultivated land that can be developed is tens of millions of mu or even hundreds of millions of mu.

"Everything only needs to have a large enough ship, and now, the ship launched has a thousand tons, and the next batch of ships with a displacement of 2,000 tons will be launched, as for the population, there is no need to worry, my name is not much else, that is, there are many people, and within 10 years, a prosperous place that is not inferior to the Central Plains can be built."

"What is there to be afraid of at that time, that is the real Tiangao Emperor Yuan, a place is a small kingdom, if you are willing, it is not a problem to set yourself up as a king, who can manage it, who will take care of it."

Wang Xuan's sky is high and the sea is wide, this scene makes Qi Hongliang both excited and confused, some things can't be imagined by imagination.

"Okay, it's too much, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, and you don't understand what it's like, when I have the opportunity, I will take you out to see the vastness of the world, don't worry, put your heart in your stomach, no matter what, your family is safe."

The reason why I said so much to Qi Hongliang this time was mainly to appease the other party, after all, a series of operations in Guangdong in the future would require Qi Hongliang's help, and there were some things that could not be hidden.

After thoroughly pacifying the other party, he once again set his sights on the use of this seizure.

Funing Prefecture, Xinghua Prefecture, and Zhangzhou Prefecture expanded the army, with 5,600 people in one prefecture and 16,800 people in three prefectures, which is indeed a lot of numbers, because Wang Xuan wants elite soldiers, not a number.

Of course, in order to attract enough green people, and for the loyalty of these people, Wang Xuan's recruitment conditions are also very good, and each soldier can be allocated twenty acres of land.

What is the concept of 20 acres of land, which means that the birth of a rich peasant, relying on this 20 acres of land, the family will definitely not have to worry about eating and drinking.

On the other hand, the requirements for recruitment are also relatively high, and they must be over 18 years old, under 30 years old, really blue, healthy, and tested.

At the same time, when recruiting troops, Wang Xuan made it very clear that this land was not given by the imperial court, but by him Wang Xuan Wang Dashan, that is to say, if one day, there is no Wang Dashan, then, no, these lands will definitely be taken back.

Every soldier must understand whose rice is the old snack of your whole family, who feeds you, and whose words you have to listen to!

This is also the fundamental reason why Wang Xuan took out so much land at one time, under the interests of the people, this military power is firmly controlled in his hands, and no one can take it away, and those counselors in the army will remind them every day, every hour, and every moment.
