The Nanming spy who was placed in Jiaozhi said that Jiaozhi is already too busy to take care of itself.
As soon as this news came into Kuang Ye's hands, he almost jumped up for joy.Cochin is entangled, and he will be unable to think about the matter of sending troops out of Nanming. Doesn't this make them lose a big opponent?
Kuang Ye is not only old, but his thinking is also very old.In his opinion, King Min is also surnamed Zhu, who has the blood of the Taizu, and the fight with the emperor belongs to the Zhu family's internal struggle. No matter what, this world is still the Zhu family's world, and outsiders can't be cheap.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Zhongdan is really powerful, and the mercenaries are not up to expectations." With the news that just came, Kuang Ye, who hadn't seen a smile on his face for a long time, had a rare drink of the three majors in the temporary mansion. Cup, and even invited the student Guan Ying to drink with him.
Guan Ying still doesn't understand Kuang Ye's happiness.Seeing that the drinking had stopped, he asked cautiously, "Teacher, this is the victory of Mr. Zhongdan. Why are you so happy?"
"Why can't you be happy?" Kuang Ye, who was in a good mood at this moment, also decided to teach his student well, so he asked aloud, "Tell me, with the mercenaries and tyrannical soldiers brought by Mr. Zhongdan When the Cochin Army fights together, who will win the final victory?"
"This..." Guan Ying shook his head, "If you say that the strength of the mercenaries is indeed tyrannical, especially the bursting muskets in their hands are very domineering, whoever makes them an enemy will gain nothing. Cocoa After all, their strength is too small, and it is still possible to win some battles, but it is unrealistic to say that they can really wipe out all the Cochin Army."
"That's right." After hearing the words, Kuang Ye nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "According to what you said, wouldn't that mean that the mercenaries would fight with the Cochin Army? If this is the result, it would be a big deal for me." There are only advantages and no disadvantages."
"Ah!" At this moment, Guan Ying finally understood.Then he said tentatively, "What the teacher means is that this is a fight between two tigers, and there must be casualties. Even the one who wins won't get any benefits?"
"Exactly." Kuang Ye said while stroking his beard, "Actually, I still admire Zhongdan Gong very much. A hero like him probably won't come out once in hundreds of years. Even the Taizu was far inferior when he was his age. If such a person was born in troubled times, he would probably create a new world. I only hate that he was born at an untimely time. Although I, Ming Dynasty, have There have been wars, but the foundation is still good, most of the people have clothes to wear, food to eat, and can live and work in peace and contentment, under such an environment, it is obviously impossible to want any great architectural techniques.”
Guan Ying on the side couldn't stop lighting, approving the teacher's analysis.
Kuang Ye seemed to have something to say, and continued to say: "The old man admires Zhongdangong, but he is really afraid of him. Because young people sometimes do things impulsively, and even play cards that do not follow common sense. I am really worried. Because he has a strong soldier in his hand, he has other thoughts. So the old man is persuading the emperor to use him, and at the same time he is guarding against him."
"Yes, yes, such people should be guarded against." Guan Ying also agrees with this very much, after all, the term "superior meritorious deeds" is not new just now.History has already proved that once the credit of the courtiers is too great, there will really be a lot of rebellions.
"That's why, the old man is so happy when he sees this news. Just as you said, although the mercenaries are powerful, they are too few in number and their background is too poor. What if you really want to deal with Jiaozhi?" Impossible. The best result is that both sides will be hurt. If this is the case, they will naturally suffer a lot of damage. The imperial court can make the two people who are jealous be inseparable, or even both. Seriously injured, isn’t this a good thing? Isn’t it worth celebrating with a drink for the teacher?”
Kuang Ye finally made his words very clear. Guan Ying heard all this and made him nod his head, "The teacher's analysis is very good, the students have learned."
Chapter 497 The new policy of using barbarians to control barbarians (four more)
"Hahaha, Guan Ying, in fact, you are also very smart, work hard, the teacher will eventually get old, there will be a day when you retire, and then the Ministry of War will be your world." Kuang Ye is really too When I was happy, it was inevitable that I would speak out what was in my heart when I spoke.
Guan Ying, who was still listening to the teacher's teaching, became excited when he heard this. This was the first time that the teacher talked about his future with him.In the past, I just thought that Kuang Ye only knew how to be loyal to the country and didn't consider personal matters. Now it seems that it's not that he didn't consider it, but that he was unwilling to express it.
Considering that Kuang Ye is nearly seventy years old, and how many years he can still be in charge of the military department, when he retreats, he must always arrange for his cronies to stay here again. This is also human nature. It's time for floors.
"Thank you teacher." Excited, Guan Ying stood up and bowed.
"Hahaha." Kuang Ye laughed again, it seemed that from this moment, Nanming had returned to his former prosperity and strength.
The news is still being transmitted and has not yet reached Nanjing, but I think when it reaches there, especially after the envoys of the Jiaozhi Kingdom visited Zhu Qizhen, they will definitely be happy to let Emperor Yingzong, who has been in trouble recently Bar.
It's just that these people don't know that their happiness is all in vain, because everything that is impossible in their eyes will become possible in Yang Chendong's hands.
In the end, they still underestimated Mr. Zhongdan.
Cochin State, Beidai City.
Nine days have passed since the agreement between Hong Jin and Ruan Xuancheng.
In nine days, more than 2 Han people have come to Beidai city one after another. Among them, there are hundreds of spies from Jiaozhi Kingdom hiding in it. They dress up like Han people, and they have lived together for many years. , it is still very easy to pretend.
According to Ruan Chuncheng, at least 1 Han people are coming here, and many cities are still mobilizing because of the distance.
In a word, in this matter, Ruan Chuncheng was very active, and his actions seemed to be very fast.But Jiaozhi is not too small after all, it is simply impossible to complete this task in ten days.In this way, it can just play the role of delaying time.
Regarding Ruan Chuncheng's thoughts, Yang Chendong saw through early on.He didn't point it out because he also needed time to prepare for the battle.With the Han people entering the city, they can better cover up their military purpose.
As for the more than 2 Han people who have already entered the city, whether there are spies from the Jiaozhi Kingdom, Yang Chendong doesn't care, anyway, these people are going to be sent to Xiaoliuqiu Island.At that time, no matter who you are, after studying and living there, you will be turned into a resident of Chixian City.
On the surface, Yu Qian is in charge of the management of Chixian City.But he mostly manages people's livelihood and the development of various factories. In fact, what he implements among the people is still the same set of military control.If I have to say it, it’s a bit like the 60s when China was founded. Every outsider who enters here will be strictly censored. Even if you are really a Han citizen, you will be disrupted after you come here. You know, that's what Yang Chendong is playing.
Under such a policy, under the care of Leng Feng, the auxiliary soldiers, the militia, and even the children's regiment and the aunts and uncles of the residents' committee, if anyone made any small move, they would be caught and punished.Even parading with a big hat on the street is a common thing, and it is not worth making a fuss about.
Under such an atmosphere, the more than 2 Han Chinese will only become their own people when they arrive on Xiaoliuqiu Island.
In fact, as soon as these 2 people entered Beidai City, they were put under military control, and then were escorted out of the city by Leng Feng, auxiliary soldiers, and temporary auxiliary soldiers, and sent to Quyi City in the rear.On the seashore not far from Quyi City, the big ship of the Yang Navy is already waiting there.
On the warship, not only a large number of guns and ammunition produced by the Chixiancheng Arsenal were transported, but also [-] Han people accompanied them.
These [-] Han Chinese are all active young people who have performed outstandingly on Xiaoliuqiu Island, and were recommended by various units and departments.Their arrival will become the backbone force that will dominate the Cochin Kingdom in the future.They will lead the people here to build a new small red embedded city.
Of course, this so-called establishment is not really to build a modern city, but to move the management and governance over. To put it bluntly, it is the continuation of the new territory of the Yang family, which is also a step from the island to the land. kind of expansion.
This is also the first expansion, and there is no previous experience to ask.In order to achieve a better purpose, the 5 people who came here are only the first batch, and there will be a second and third batch, both of which are 5 people.
With these 15 people as the bottom line, there will be some cold front fighters stationed here in the future. In this way, there is no problem in stabilizing the Jiaozhi territory.
In fact, Yang Chendong wanted to send more people out of the island, but it was these 15 young people who had already hurt Chixian City. After all, the most lacking thing on Xiaoliuqiu Island was the population.The 15 people can be squeezed out because Yang Chendong issued a strict order, and the people below had to obey. If someone else gave this order, it would be good if Yu Qian and the others could give 3 to [-] people.
Now the first batch of 5 people who arrived left 2000 people in Quyi City as the backbone to start changing the living conditions there, and the remaining 8000 people were carrying all kinds of food, drink, and ammunition. Heading towards Beidai City.
"The population is still too small." A long sigh, which naturally belonged to Yang Chendong's voice.
It has been four years since he came to this world.It has been working hard to achieve the scale it is now.In the eyes of others, it may already be very remarkable, but compared to the grand goal in his heart, it is still too far away.
If he had 2000 million in his hands, even if there were only [-] million people, he would dare to go directly to the Japanese island and completely occupy it.He even dared to occupy the southwest and southeast of Daming one by one.
Unfortunately, there are only a million people in Chixian City, and most of them captured the First Shang Dynasty and plundered the population there. Otherwise, the current 15 people would make him worry.
With a sigh, I thought about encouraging the people in Chixian City to have more children. Although a series of encouraging measures have been implemented before, because many factories and land need manpower, some local women have to participate in farming .But now that the people of the Cochin Kingdom are constantly being sent to Xiaoliuqiu Island, those women can be left idle. With them, as long as the incentive measures are appropriate, there will be a large increase in the population in ten years or so.
Turning his thoughts back, Yang Chendong raised his head and asked Hu Mang: "Is Nie Tong's second regiment in place?"
"Young Master, Commander Nie took Leng Feng of the Second Regiment and ten battalions of naval auxiliary soldiers along the coastline towards Jiuzhen County the day before yesterday. If nothing unexpected, he should be ready to do something."
"Yes." Yang Chendong nodded thoughtfully, "Tell Commander Nie, after capturing Jiuzhen County, don't rush to get closer to us, and continue to send troops out of Rinan County, and take it there. If If we need help here, we will let him know."
In other words, there is no need for any reinforcements, and the entire Jiaozhi County will be taken down by relying on the more than [-] soldiers and horses now.Humang, who was listening on the sidelines, nodded, "Yes, young master, I will inform Commander Nie of your order. But can we really take all of Jiaozhi County? Whether it is military strength or territory Are they far greater than the sum of Jiuzhen County and Rinan County?"
That is, Humang, who has been with Yang Chendong the longest, dares to ask such a question.If it is replaced by someone else, all you need to do is execute the order.But his considerations are also very reasonable. It is one thing to be able to capture a country, but another thing to be able to rule it. If there is not enough troops, I am afraid that it will not be able to do this.
"Hehe." Yang Chendong smiled first, and didn't answer this sentence right away, but casually pointed outside the door.
Following the direction of his fingers, Humang saw Hong Jin standing respectfully outside, waiting for Yang Chendong to summon him. "Isn't there General Hong?" After saying this casually, Hu Mang suddenly seemed to have figured out something, and said in surprise, "Young master means to use him as a general, and then"
"That's right." Yang Chendong directly interrupted Humang's words, but said with a smile: "That's right, there is a saying called using the barbarians to control the barbarians, we can definitely organize a Cochin mercenary army, and then let them take charge of the law and order of the Cochin Kingdom. Compared to us, they are more familiar with this place, aren't they?"
What Yang Chendong is thinking about at the moment is the future Japanese and puppet army.It has to be said that the Japanese invaders at that time were obviously not strong enough, so they came up with such a method.And relying on this, he almost completed the move of snake swallowing elephant.
Now that others can use it, I can also use it myself.In addition, he can also get some thorny young people to Chixian City. In this way, without those troublemakers who take the lead, Hong Jin's pressure will be much less.
After Humang understood Yang Chendong's intentions, he looked at the young master with admiration.He really didn't know how the young master's head grew, and how he could think of so many good ideas.It's like using Cochin mercenaries to manage Cochin people, even if you kill him, you can't think of this.
It's not that Humang's head is too stupid. It's just that no one has used this method before, so he will naturally not think of it.
