Chapter 1582: Duke Saladin
Xiao Chen, Xu Haiming personally accompanied Ren Bijiang to Hecheng to explain the situation to the big guys, it was really a lease, because Dongying had paid the money.
Of course, I don't want any of this silver, and all of it is distributed to the local residents in the form of welfare, and each person always has four or five taels a year......
There are also local officials who are all from our Huaxia, and all the laws and policies are the same as those in other places in Yizhou.
Little Devil...... The Dongying people are just stationing troops here, of course, they don't need us to provide them, and they will also buy the food and materials they need to work according to the price.
As for this Xiaolin Bijiang general, although he is from Dongying, his mother is from our Huaxia, so we can't meet him, so I ask him to tell the big guy a few words......
Ren Bijiang is very eloquent, and he speaks extremely fluent Chinese, to tell the truth, it is more standard than what the big guy says, and his words and deeds are proper for a Chinese person, and he really doesn't look like a little devil in Dongying. First of all, he said that people are good-looking, tall, handsome, and sincere......
Then let's investigate him for a while, if he doesn't count his words, and he bullies us with the Dongying people, then don't blame us for rebelling!
Ren Bijiang is a person who can lead troops on the horse and get close to the people when he gets off the horse, and as the young island owner of Paradise Island, he is very familiar with the economy.
Within a few days of taking office, he formulated and issued several policies to benefit the people, and vigorously supported the development of overseas trade......
Ren Pijiang is very familiar with the situation in southern Xinjiang, and has clearly formulated the surplus and deficit of supply and demand trade share.
made the local officials and the people look at him with admiration, don't talk about this young little bastard with no hair on his mouth......
What a skill!
Unexpectedly, the good times didn't last long, just when Ren Bijiang had just won the hearts and minds of the people and had just been respected by the officials, he was leaving?
Don't mind the slot, what should we do if you leave our group of dragons without a leader?
You also promised to fight with Yanyun County to jointly set up a sugar factory in our Hecheng, and you can't give up halfway!
Many of us have listened to you and gone into the mountains to plant sugar cane, and now you are throwing your hands and leaving, don't you shake us up and play?
Say that you are like a family, you deceive people!
The people jointly signed a letter, and the officials all ran to Xu Haiming to protest, Xu Haiming said that you didn't understand the situation, you guys, Hecheng was leased, you have forgotten?
So now you are not under my control, but under the control of the emperor of other people's little devils, and you have to ask others if you have any opinions......
But we don't know each other's emperors, and it's quite far away from Dongying, otherwise it's best to ask Lord Xu to help me convey the meaning.
Xu Haiming also promised, saying that he would definitely tell Emperor Shenzhao about the big guy's support for Xiaolin Bijiangjun, his admiration, and his desire to keep him......
Emperor Shenzhao was really very sensible, and sent Ren Bijiang, who went back to report on his work, to re-send him, and also crowned him as the 'Yizhou Daimyo'.
Because Ren Bijiang has not yet gained a stable foothold in Yizhou, and he has to face various pressures from the Great Zhou, mainly Xiao Chen, the warships and soldiers he brought to Yizhou are also handed over to him to control.
With almost no effort, Ren Pijiang has more than 100 warships, a basic military force of more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and a stable foothold.
He is also good at dancing with long sleeves, between Xiao Chen and Emperor Shenzhao, he is at ease, righteous, and upright and constantly expanding his strength.
Because both sides want him to be as strong as possible......
The combined fleet of the six nations was completely wiped out, and their so-called commander-in-chief of the fleet, Saladin, who claimed to be the Duke of Gaul, was also captured alive by Wu Hanming.
Xiao Chen didn't embarrass him and those surviving subordinates too much, after all, Yan Yunjun has always treated prisoners preferentially, so he personally interrogated him in the name of chatting, and also prepared a sumptuous banquet and cold beer.
"I didn't expect Lord Xiao Chen to speak Western?" Duke Saladin was really curious about Xiao Chen, the young commander of the East, he was obviously an Oriental, but he spoke extremely fluent English, although he couldn't understand it, but there was still no problem with basic communication.
"It is always useful to have an extra foreign language, at least I can have a pleasant conversation with the Duke of Saladin without hindrance." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"I know your Eastern tradition that before sending someone to the guillotine, you will prepare a sumptuous feast for him, so that he will eat enough and then die, so that he will not be a beggar in the next life, right?" Saladin misunderstood Xiao Chen, thinking that this was his last supper.
"There is this tradition, which belongs to the last respect for the deceased...... But I didn't want to send you Duke Saladin to the guillotine, in fact, I didn't want to kill you at all, we were innocent, right? When we have a knife and gun in our hands, we are enemies, and when we put down our knives and guns, we should be friends. Xiao Chen said.
"Thank you, my Lord Xiao Chen!" Saladin was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and immediately stood up, put his hand on his chest, paid his highest respect to Xiao Chen, and swore an oath, "Yes, I am willing to be your most faithful friend and servant, I mean, I am willing to be loyal to you forever." ”
It can be seen that he is an unprincipled guy.
Saladin was originally a wealthy farmer in Gaul, but when the Romans invaded their peninsula, his kingdom of Mona rose up and was defeated.
In order to protect his farm and property, Saladin gathered a large number of poor and landless peasants, vagrants, criminals, and even slaves to form a rebel army and fight to the death against the Roma!
King Mona was so pleased with his valor that he made him Duke of Gaul......
But the Romans were too powerful for the Faksquid, and Saladin's rabble fought with them for months, and they were beaten and retreated.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately announced his surrender, and personally went to the Roma camp, knelt down and kissed the Toes of the Roma commander, and swore allegiance to the Roma people in public.
Impressed by his sincere rhetoric and bloody oath, Commander Roma gladly agreed and gave him some weapons, armor, and ships......
Unexpectedly, this kid surrendered by fraud at all, and when the port was being reorganized, he suddenly turned against again, not only killed hundreds of Roma people, but also captured dozens of their warships in the port, and quickly escaped overnight!
Although this guy is not a thing, he is also quite talented in military affairs, running all the way to fight and rob all the way, and by the time he landed on the deserted Odalia continent, he already had more than 200 large and small warships, as well as more than 20,000 horses......
