Chapter 72 Prelude to Denglai's Raiders

It is enough to transfer one more army, send a number of guard troops, or simply attack Denglai with a Japanese servant army. As long as the elite of the Southern Army falls into Huaiqing and cannot be transferred, there will be no risk here in Denglai.

In fact, this is also a strategy that adheres to He Xi's habits. Since the strength of the army has an advantage, then open another battlefield, one will not work, two. Two doesn't work, three people.

In the establishment of the Northern Army, the first rank of the army is to deal with a battlefield alone. There is a shortage in numbers, and two armies plus some guards and even the surrender of the militia are enough to deal with a strategic direction.

And does the Yugoslav army have such capabilities?

Naturally, there is none.

There are only two problems on He Xi's side, the first is logistics, and the second is the general who can preside over the aspect.

The big problem is the latter.

As for the issue of the naval division, on the one hand, it is the Fujian side that has carried out a strategic contraction of Jingjiang, that is, it has turned a blind eye. No more harassment. The sailor in Fang Chengfeng's hand had room to move freely. Also, do not forget that the Arthur shipyard, shipbuilding has not stopped since the beginning of the war.

It was only necessary to draw some skilled sailors from the Fujian side and supplement some Goryeo Japanese sailors. You can form a water division.

Anyway, the sailors fight, pay attention to the same boat, no matter who they are, they must respect the absolute authority of the captain. There is no need to worry about these people messing around.

Zid's strategy cannot be wrong. After all, in his opinion, if the Fujian Navy Division continues to fight, it will only be a loss in vain. And the Fujian sailors themselves don't want to fight. Naturally, we have to stop for a moment. It's just that he forgot one thing, and that is that the battlefields are interconnected.

If the Fujian Navy Division had been maintaining the attack of sending him to death, at least Fang Chengfeng would not dare to draw the forces of the Navy Division around him to do anything else.

This is no longer the case.

Coupled with the slow development of the Northwest Battlefield, the progress of the Huaiqing Battlefield was not smooth. He Xi naturally had the idea of Denglai's strategy. All sorts of factors are maturing. It's just that He Xi hasn't made the final decision in his heart, after all, he doesn't want to be clear about such a big thing, and he has to understand all kinds of pros and cons before he dares to make a decision.

The Cotton War is just one of the tiny dots.

However, since Zhu Xiongying has a heart, then He Xi will also agree, after all, in Beijing, as long as He Xi and Zhu Xiongying both nod, there is almost nothing that cannot be done.

The Denlai strategy was thus included in the Privy Council's plan.

Still, when will it be launched. It will take time.

An undercurrent about cotton is already raging.

------

Since Xie Lun became the deputy speaker, he has had an official model, and it is impossible for ordinary people to see him. But Mr. Bai is naturally not among them.

Mr. Bai sat opposite Xie Lun. Mr. Bai said, "I came here today because I actually want to be a Chinese person. I was asked to buy some textile machines, and some skilled hands, to go south. Who doesn't know that the Xie family is the leader of them, and this one thing can't get around Brother Xie. I'm not here to ask for a favor."

When Xie Lun saw this, the first thing he thought of was what his Xie Jin told him. He can collect this amount of money, and he can even knock it hard. But something to give them.

In fact, as far as Xie Lun himself is concerned, he is unwilling to do this.

The reason is also very simple. Monopoly is so cool.

The status of the Xie family in Beijing's textile industry is not much different from the monopoly, although there are still many families who also eat this bowl of rice. But because of the status of the Xie family, the affairs in the industry are almost a matter of decision.

He Xi is also noncommittal about this situation.

He naturally knows the dangers of monopolies. But he didn't care about it for two reasons.

First, I don't have the time or energy to take care of this one thing. After all, the Xie family is not the only one who does this, and it can even be said that the Xie family is doing a good job. Many nobles simply discussed, and one industry was divided. Doing almost nothing. It's the boss of the industry.

Those who do business below must offer and listen to the greetings. Otherwise, you will be beaten.

What can I do? One by one, they were cleaned up.

He Xi is actually already very

Efforts have been made to clean up this bureaucratic capital. But now, it can only be let go, after all, it is at war.

Second, He Xi also believes in the power of the market.

It's not that He Xi believes that the market will drive out the monopoly. It's that the market is not fully exploited. The demand in many places is enough to support many textile enterprises, that is to say, today's market is still a blue ocean, and a new textile enterprise will emerge somewhere.

He Xi didn't need to do anything at all.

Just wait.

Just wait for the future to push the boat downstream.

How to do the most difficult thing with the most effortless means is political skill, or the art of domination.

Now it's time to get started.

Xie Lun didn't dare to be reluctant anymore, he also knew that he couldn't listen to his brother's care, even if he wanted him to bleed heavily, he had to bleed. Not to mention being ordered to make money.

So Xie Lun was unceremonious. Knocked them hard. Mr. Bai's face did not change. I promised to do this thing. Anyway, it's not him who pays for it. He's just a middleman. Even Xie Lun is a middleman. Many textile machinery are produced by Liaodong Iron Works or Zunhua Iron Works.

However, it is even more impossible for ordinary people to order from these two places.

After all, there is still a certain threshold for government-run factories, and if these people set up factories in Beijing, they naturally have a way to do it. But to set up a factory in Nanjing. The problem here is too big, and it has to be done by one person.

But in essence, it is also generating revenue for the Beijing government.

However, they can't buy it, they don't have advanced machinery in Beijing. It is difficult for factories to compete with the male farmers and women weavers of the smallholder economy. Don't underestimate the ancestors, on the household textile machine, hundreds of years ago, and hundreds of years later, there has not been much change, not because there is no way to change. But in the home scene, such a machine is already the most suitable.

As for what Jenny machine. Such a similar technique has long existed in China. The reason why it is not used on a large scale. It is an economic structural constraint, not a technical one.

Mr. Bai is getting this thing done.

Send a message to Nanjing immediately.

So, soon Nanjing got the news.

Ding Xian also knew the news. He immediately went to see Luben.

Ding Xian smiled and said, "Old Guozhang, is there good news in Beijing?"

Lu Ben said, "The news of Lord Shousuke is very good, and the first batch of machines is about to arrive. But is it really profitable?"

Ding Xian said, "Don't worry, who dares to lie to you in this matter. I also want to borrow your old tiger power to strengthen my courage. You're just sitting and waiting to make money."

Ding Xian's efforts to get Lu Ben out were also well thought out.

Lu Ben is a scholar. But it seems to be high, but inside it is insatiable, which is also normal. In fact, most civil officials are also like this, they look dignified and upright on the outside, but they are extremely dirty on the inside, and the so-called gold and jade are ruined on the outside.

Lu Ben is such a person. This is not surprising.

The Lu family became the queen mother, and Lu Ben also got up all of a sudden. In many things, people share a piece of the Lu family's pie. However, in just two years, the Lu family's industry has developed rapidly. Become a well-known nouveau riche in Nanjing.

is even about to become the richest man in Nanjing.

Ding Xian pulled Lu Ben over, on the one hand, to appease the palace, especially the queen mother, after all, the queen mother was interceding for someone, and she wanted to give the queen mother a good impression, and someone would naturally say good things if she gave money.

On the other hand, the Lu family has always been the emergence of a family of scholars.

Ding Xian won Fang Xiaoru, in fact, he also knew that he could not completely eradicate the scholars, and he had to reconcile. He wanted to release this signal through the Lu family. Let some people know that he actually has no other meaning for the other party's filial piety, but just to seize power.

The last aspect, naturally, is to resist the same thing as other nobles looking for the Lu family.

It's about planning for the future.

Ding Xian also thought about it repeatedly, although he has great confidence in accomplishing this thing, there are many possibilities that he may not be able to do it.

If you can't do it, what should you do? Naturally, it is necessary to find someone to resist.

And not the average person. The Lu family entered Ding Xian's eyes. In fact, Ding Xian also knew, and the Lu family probably knew what Ding Xian meant, but for the sake of money and interests, he also did it. clearly felt that they had a great contribution to Zhu Yunwen's accession to the throne. It's not a little bit of a problem.
