Chapter 157: Preparation
Yang Xin nodded and said, "Very good, Zhao Yuan, how is the preparation of the sea trade fleet?" ”
Zhao Yuan hurriedly said: "Huixing Wang, Aunt Chen is still handling it in Weihaiwei, according to the news that came, it is estimated that it will be completed in about five days." ”
Yang Xin nodded again and said to Daniel Zhang, "Governor Dadu, how is the preparation of the mercenaries of the water division?" ”
Daniel Zhang hurriedly stood up and said, "King Huixing, everything is ready to go out at any time!" ”
Yang Xin continued to nod and said, "Okay, Ma Tao, you recruit another 10,000 sailors, and after the mercenaries leave, hand them over to the Metropolitan Governor to arrange sailor training." ”
Ma Tao promised.
Daniel Zhang was stunned, stood up, and said, "King Xing, the sailor plus the mercenary army has been expanded to 26,000 people, why do you still need to recruit troops, recruit another 10,000 people, and the sailor division will account for half of our Daxing army!" ”
As soon as Daniel Zhang stood like this, all of a sudden, the generals of the first battalion and the second battalion echoed and stood up.
Yang Xin smiled and said: "Half is not enough, in the future, our Daxing Army's sailors will occupy more than eight floors!" Daniel Zhang, your Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies will tilt towards the Sailor Division in the future and go all out to expand the strength of the Sailor Division!" ”
Daniel Zhang was about to cry, and he, the commander of the three armies, was about to catch up with the chief of the three battalions of the water division!
After all, with the addition of these 10,000 sailors, there are already 15,000 people who will fight in Goryeo, and the so-called generals are not even subject to the king's order, let alone him, the commander, that is to say, the sailor system is firmly controlled by the three Jiao Xuewen brothers.
"King Xing, there has been no war in the country for a long time, I implore King Xing to let me bring an elite army into Goryeo!"
Daniel Zhang finally couldn't help it, at present, the most elite battalion of the Daxing Army has become a recruit training camp, there is no chance to fight, but the third battalion of the water division is mixed in Goryeo, and even the fourth battalion Guan Changfeng can fight the autumn wind in Shandong, and he is very busy.
And Daxing's Wenchen had no interest in Daniel Zhang's five-army governor's office, but they were all paying attention to the movements of the sailors, after all, Goryeo has now become the absolute main customer of Daxing, not only does it owe Daxing a loan of 8 million taels, but also the vanguard of Daxing has established many businesses in Goryeo, and even the landlords are eager to try and want to go to Goryeo to do business.
The most surprised was Li Xiangjun, she really didn't understand that no one from top to bottom of Daxing's Wenchen paid attention to the dispute between Daniel Zhang and Yang Xin, as if they all felt that it had nothing to do with her.
Yang Xin thought for a while and said, "Okay, you guys have been idle for too long, it's okay to go to Goryeo to practice, Daniel Zhang, you are in the first battalion, the second battalion, each time five thousand people are transferred to Goryeo, go to Goryeo for two months and then transfer back, and then rotate!" ”
Daniel Zhang was overjoyed, he was not stupid, when he arrived in Goryeo, he was the commander of the three armies, and Jiao Xuewen naturally had to listen to him, so that he could fully take over the command of the Goryeo War.
So he hurriedly agreed.
Yang Xin smiled and said: "Don't be too happy, Ma Tao has newly recruited this 10,000 sailors recruit, you will give me training for at least two months before sending troops, and besides, you have to think about who will take over your command in Denglai after you leave!" ”
Daniel Zhang's face was suddenly full of bitter melons, and he had to endure it for two months!
But it's better than now, the dignified commander of the three armies has become a border guard.
"Subordinates obey!"
Only then did Daniel Zhang take the order to sit down.
At this moment, Li Xiangjun suddenly stood up and said: "King Xing, Daxing is so rich, and the soldiers are willing to use their lives, why don't you expand the army in Denglai, given time, even if you take Shandong, it will not be a problem!" ”
Yang Xin smiled and said nothing, the Daxing court had already made a conclusion on this matter, especially the recent defeat of the Ming army by the Qing Dynasty, and basically no one proposed to fight in Shandong anymore.
At this time, Sun Liang stood up and said to Li Xiangjun: "Lord Shoufu, I am a big rejuvenator of the country, it is not easy to raise soldiers, and there are too many troops in the country, which is easy to arouse the suspicion of the Qing Dynasty, which will lead to unjustified disasters!" ”
Li Xiangjun was stunned, he was already the first assistant, in Daming, that was the head of Wenchen, this Sun Liang didn't know what he was doing, he actually stood up directly, and didn't give himself face at all, this person is in the ranks of military generals, it seems that he also belongs to the military.
"Who are you?"
Li Xiangjun was a little displeased and asked.
Sun Liang smiled and said, "Command Sun Liang in the Military Intelligence Division!" ”
Li Xiangjun was stunned, she didn't know what the official position of the commander of the Military Intelligence Department was, she heard the name a bit like a scout leader, she went to court on the first day, she didn't dare to offend people easily, she looked back at Yang Xin again, hoping that he would relieve herself.
Yang Xin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Li Shoufu, Sun Liang's analysis is very reasonable, you don't care about this matter for the time being, my Wenchen of Daxing, the focus is on managing the local administration of Daxing, and military affairs should be as little involved as possible." ”
Li Xiangjun is going to be dumbfounded, is Daxing's Wenchen so statusless? Turning his head to look at his camp, there were several bigwigs in the Wenchen, none of them spoke, Bai Youcai, the political envoy of Denglaibu, Ou Keli, the prefect of Laizhou, and Li Anbo, the prefect of Dengzhou, didn't even speak!
Li Xiangjun felt a little messy, she still studied the court of Daxing, Daxing occupied the two places of Denglai, and the prefects of the two places were not interested in Daxing's military affairs, she really wanted to break her head and couldn't understand why.
Since Yang Xin had spoken, she didn't say anything more, and Ying Nuo sat down.
Even if the matter is decided, at this time, Li Anbo finally spoke, stood up, and said: "King Xing, going to Goryeo to do sea trade is a lucrative business, why didn't my Daxing business participate this time, not only that, but also did the people of Daxing not be allowed to participate in the sea trade, what is the reason?" ”
As soon as Li Anbo's words came out, the ministers echoed one after another, the landlords of Daxing had long been eyeing the sea trade, and the last time they went to the Goryeo sea trade, they were taken care of by the Daxing business, and they had already complained about it, and now they would rather cheapen outsiders than let them participate, they are naturally full of depression.
Li Xiangjun finally saw the concerted action of Daxing Wenchen, but she didn't expect that she wanted to do business with great fanfare, which really surprised her, and she felt that Daxing's monarchs and ministers were very abnormal, and she was a little at a loss.
Yang Xin smiled and said: "This king does not allow you to participate, it is for your good, since you are so insistent, if you have to invest with your own money, this king will not interfere anymore, but Daxing Business must not participate this time, and it will be a violation of military law!" ”
The ministers looked at each other, I didn't expect Yang Xin to answer like this, the people of the bare fart and Yang Xin have lived for a long time, and they all know that he never talks nonsense on major matters, and thinks that Yang Xin may have some conspiracy, and he has dispelled the idea of joining the sea trade, but the local tyrants don't think so, the profits of the sea trade are too violent, and the wealth is moving, since King Xing has promised not to interfere with his private investment, there is nothing to say, just do it!
That's what Li Anbo thinks, there are still five days to go, and it's too late to join at this moment.
Yang Xin's action this time can't even see through Fan Yuxuan's slippery head, and it is reasonable that these prosperous landlords can't see through it.
Well, the major affairs of the Daxing court have been discussed, and Yang Xin finally said: "Five days later, this king decided to personally lead the troops to Goryeo, and when the king is not in Laiyang in the future, Concubine Zhu will supervise the country, and Li Xiangjun will lead the government." ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Xiangjun and the princess were overjoyed, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty reacted indifferently, and no one stood up to oppose it.
Fan Yuxuan finally changed color, glanced at Yang Xin fiercely, and snorted coldly.
Yang Xin didn't care, just glanced at Fan Yuxuan with a smile, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, concubine, the most important thing for you now is to raise a baby, and don't pay attention to the affairs of the court, but this king will fulfill his promise to you now, and the Xing Wangfu will invest 10 million taels to build a new palace in Dengzhou, and you will be fully responsible. ”
Fan Yuxuan was stunned, she didn't expect Yang Xin to really remember her words, it wasn't just talking at the time, women are vain, building a mansion of tens of millions of taels of silver, or making your own decisions, this honor is not under the princess at all!
The ministers were in an uproar, Yang Xin meant to move the capital!
Bai Youcai stood up and said, "Huixing Wang, last time Concubine Zhu called two or five million taels of silver from Xingwangfu, and now the silver taels of Xingwangfu are only five million and 700,000 taels in Daxing Qianzhuang!" ”
Fan Yuxuan said proudly: "Isn't it just silver, you just have to do it, and I will make up for the shortcomings!" ”
She still has more than 10 million taels of silver in her hand now, and a woman has a child, so she will not be stingy with the mansion.
Yang Xin was confident, and said: "No need, Bai Youcai, you can do it, first according to the plan of 10 million taels, in less than two months, this king will have a large amount of silver in the account, this more than 5 million taels for two months is no problem, right?" ”
Bai Youcai was stunned for a moment, and said: "Two months is not enough to use, such a large palace, without a year or two, it will definitely not be completed." ”
Yang Xin smiled and said, "Then it's decided!" ”
The ministers have nothing to say, Yang Xinjian used his own money to build the palace, and did not use the treasury, as for moving the capital, Daxing will Denglai and Dengzhou, and it is not far from Laiyang, and it has no impact on the current court at all.
The court meeting ended here, the happiest person was Daniel Zhang, finally won the opportunity to go out, Li Anbo was also quite satisfied, at least Yang Xin had spoken, no longer forbidden them to participate in sea trade, the two of them took active action as soon as the dynasty began.
Back at the palace, Yang Xin still decided to accompany Fan Yuxuan first, today she is estimated to be a little depressed, and she has to be comforted.
Fan Yuxuan carefully prepared a dinner party, Kou Baimen, and Fan Siqi were carefully dressed up by her and served on the side, which looked extremely luxurious.
Fan Yuxuan, who is pregnant, looks more and more graceful and luxurious, and is very enthusiastic by Yang Xin's side.
"What the hell do you think, how do you let the two of them control the Daxing court?"
Fan Yuxuan couldn't help but ask after all.
Yang Xin smiled and didn't answer, but asked: "What do you think, do you just want to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and be a princess who surrenders in the end?" ”
Fan Yuxuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Then what else, the Qing Dynasty is so powerful, do you still want to set up another door?" ”
Yang Xin took her shoulders and smiled: "It doesn't matter if the two of us do, do you want our son to also inherit a surrendered prince, and live a life under the fence?" Although the Qing Dynasty is powerful, it is only powerful in the land of China, and I have already decided that this time I will personally go on an expedition to take Goryeo, and then use Goryeo as a springboard to attack the Wa Kingdom! ”
Fan Yuxuan was stunned, thinking to herself, Yang Xin's strategy is not against the Qing Dynasty, it is an overseas territory, that is, not to offend the Qing Dynasty, but also to fight for a larger territory for his son in the future, and even to stand on his own overseas is possible, without sending people under the fence.
"Okay, it's all up to you, it's just that I'm going to Goryeo, I don't know how long it will take, after you leave, I'll move to Dengzhou, so that I don't have to see the villain's ambition and get bored."
Fan Yuxuan sighed.
It was the first time Yang Xin saw Fan Yuxuan showing weakness, probably because his belly was getting bigger and bigger, and he was weak in the fight with the princess, so he had a heart of avoidance.
"That's fine, you're pregnant now, you can't always be angry, the court will let the two of them toss, it's not so easy, the people of Daxing are all a community of interests, and they won't be easily manipulated by others, and now even I can't do whatever I want, let alone them."
Yang Xin has one thing he has wanted to do for a long time, but unfortunately he has never had the courage to do it.
Fan Yuxuan was stunned when she heard this, and said: "This palace doesn't see it, there are still things in Daxing that you want to do and can't do, what will it be?" ”
Yang Xin nodded and said: "Of course there is, that is, to further expand the number of nationals, our Daxing citizens are too few, only more than 2,000 people, the vast majority of people can not enjoy the benefits brought by the development of Daxing, in the long run, there will be problems!" ”
Fan Yuxuan thought about it for a while, that is, she understood, and said with a smile: "You are really treacherous, the Daxing shares occupied by our palace are fixed five layers, the more people there are, the rights and interests of other citizens will be diluted, and the more we have no change in the palace, the stronger the control over the court, this palace admires you very much now, and you actually thought of such a sinister move, did you already make up your mind when you first designed this system?" ”
Yang Xin smiled bitterly and said: "Naturally, it was set at the beginning, this set of small number of people to be nationals is just a temporary compromise for rapid development, but the purpose is not as dark as you imagined, naturally I want everyone to live a good life, but you also know that last time there were more than 1,000 people, many old people have great opinions, and now Li Anbo and others have begun to shift their energy to use their own private funds to make profits in sea trade, this is a rather dangerous signal, you should be careful when you stay in Daxing, Help me keep an eye on them. ”
Fan Yuxuan frowned, she somewhat understood what Yang Xin meant, after all, Yang Xin had cooperated with him since he first made a fortune, and the first pot of gold that Daxing started from scratch was earned from her.
"The amount is small, the gentleman is not poisonous, the husband is not a husband, the husband cannot be the benevolence of a woman, when it is time to be ruthless, don't scruple too much!"
Fan Yuxuan said coldly.
Yang Xin smiled bitterly and said: "I naturally understand, but the strength of people like Daxing is too great, and forcibly dealing with it is likely to lead to the split of the Daxing court, but this time they themselves hit the muzzle of the gun, and they cleaned it up with the eight imperial merchants."
Daxing will be very dangerous next, after I leave, I will send the sunspot with three thousand personal guards to protect you, the sunspot will be dispatched by you alone except me, you must not be careless, you must pay attention to protect yourself! As for the princess, I'm not worried at all, the backbone of the first and second battalions in the army has always been under her orders before, and the high-level of the sailor division was also recruited into the Daxing army through her, and her words have much higher weight in the army than yours. ”
Fan Yuxuan was stunned when she heard this, and said, "It's not so serious, right?" The main palace looks calm, thriving, and there is no danger at all! ”
Yang Xin frowned and said: "Listen to me, I can't see the danger now, that's because the interests of those people have not been touched yet, once their interests are hit, they may take risks!" ”
Fan Yuxuan listened to what he said seriously, and she didn't dare to slack off, not to mention that there was a sunspot with three thousand elite guards to protect her, and she only listened to her alone, why didn't she do it, she felt a lot more confident.
To tell the truth, although Fan Yuxuan is strong, but at present, she is only favored in front of Yang Xin, in the court of Daxing, there is really not much authority, as far as the two most powerful departments of Daxing, the army and the Daxing firm, Fan Yuxuan can't insert it at all, this point can't be compared with the princess, Yang Xin arranged it like this, Fan Yuxuan was a little moved.
"Don't leave tonight, stay with the palace, how about the palace let Kou Baimen and Fan Siqi serve you together?"
Fan Yuxuan had spring at the corner of her mouth, and leaned on Yang Xin to say coquettishly.
Yang Xin smiled, waved his hand, and said, "No need, some time ago, this king felt a little too ridiculous, just you and I have a good rest tonight." ”
Fan Yuxuan was stunned for a moment and said, "This palace can't play games with you now!" ”
Yang Xin gently grabbed her shoulder and said, "Do you think I am a pervert reincarnated?" Is it okay to sleep well? ”
As he spoke, he picked up Fan Yuxuan and walked towards the palace.
……
Five days passed by in a snap of a finger, Yang Xin was basically accompanying Fan Yuxuan, the princess and Li Xiangjun were very busy, discussing national affairs every day, and the two were formulating an ambitious plan, and it would be more convenient to implement it as soon as Yang Xin left.
And Li Anbo was able to organize the cargo of ten lucky ships in just five days, and followed Yang Xin's fleet to Goryeo to trade, which really surprised Yang Xin, you know, this time Daxing attracted investment in the capital, and there were only thirty ships, most of which were Goryeo ships, and five or six lucky ships came one after another, a total of thirty-five or six, and one of Li Anbo's lucky ships was worthy of the cargo capacity of two Goryeo ships.
What Yang Xin didn't know was that the last time the capital speculated in real estate, the high-level leaders in Daxing basically built rat warehouses, and Yang Yubu spread the news to the local tyrants in Daxing, and they all made a lot of money, where would there be a shortage of silver in their hands?
Even the bare-ass national Bai Youcai, Xu Sheng, Daniel Zhang, Huang Fuxing and the like, each earned tens of thousands of taels.
Okay, this huge sailor and caravan drove to Goryeo, Yang Xin couldn't take Fan Yuxuan and the princess this time, Jin Lianmei must be brought, and she couldn't go to Goryeo without her, but it made Jin Lianmei, who had been neglected for months, very happy, these months, Yang Xin only went to her once a month, and she was already depressed.
