The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 478 Overseas Legion
The effect of sweet potato is not great. History has proved it, facts have proved it, and scholars of later generations have proved it.

Including the ancients, the foreign sweet potato was promoted from the original vegetable to the status of staple food, second only to rice and wheat.

According to the research of later scholars, the addition of sweet potatoes and corn to replace traditional crops increased the per capita rations of the Qing Dynasty by one-third on the original basis.

Before entering the industrial age, sweet potatoes were planted in rotation all over the country, and farmers made their own choices.

It's a pity that many people don't recognize the facts. They want to talk about the truth in their mouths, turn a blind eye to the facts, history, and research, and try their best to suppress the role of sweet potatoes and corn.

golden state.

Jiedufu.

Luo Shi, Xu Ning, and Li Wen, three overseas Chinese merchants, and Mao Rong, an extremely nervous newcomer, sat on a chair stiffly.

Tang Qing'an looked at the potato vine in his hand, showing a probing look. It's this thing, and there are countless people alive.

"You not only made great contributions to Jinzhou, but also made great contributions to the common people. A temple should be built for you."

The general's words moved everyone, and Mao Rong waved his hands again and again.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"Sweet potatoes don't pick the land, are resistant to drought, have high yields, and the fruits can be eaten by people, and the vine leaves can be eaten by livestock, and nothing else has much effect."

Well, as expected of a businessman.

Tang Qing'an couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help laughing.

The general smiled, and the atmosphere in the room immediately heated up. Several people looked relaxed and chatted and laughed to set off the excitement.

"Drought resistance alone is extraordinary. How much wasteland can be used is an increased harvest."

Although the businessmen were flattering, Tang Qing'an couldn't help but agree with Mao Rong's contribution. As his current status, he must be rewarded for meritorious service to inspire people.

not to mention.

Although the father of sweet potatoes in later generations was not recognized by the Qing government, the people in his hometown spontaneously built temples for him.

A businessman with no fame and low status can be treated like this by the people, which shows that people recognize the sweet potatoes he brought back.

"How about this."

Tang Qing'an pondered for a while, raised his head and said.

"Golden State is planning to set up an Overseas Division. All overseas Han people can seek help from the Overseas Division. Jinzhou recognizes overseas Han people as its own people. Everyone has the same root and origin, and they are originally a family."

In a word.

Several overseas Chinese merchants burst into tears of excitement.

They are really not easy.

"You help Jinzhou and set up an overseas department together."

They were given the right to operate overseas.

Tang Qing'an thought it should be so.

Whether now or hereafter.

Later generations overthrew the Qing emperor, the revolution, the war of resistance, including the integration of New China into the WTO, and seeking overseas investment. It can be said that the development of the country for hundreds of years has never been without the full support of overseas Han people.

Give money and goods and people.

When the country was weak and was treated unfairly in other countries, it was the overseas Han Chinese who marched and protested to speak out for the country internationally.

Denying overseas Han people is actually a person with bad intentions.

The embezzlers who fled from their own country to foreign countries, the rich and their families who transferred their property abroad, are confused with the overseas Han people and put a label on them.

Suppressing the reputation and achievements of overseas Han Chinese and creating conflicts is really unspeakable.

"Excuse me, General, what is the main role of the Overseas Division?"

Rosh asked excitedly.

"As for the role, you need to set it up. I invited all the sages, isn't it just to play the role of the military commander and formulate regulations."

Tang Qing'an laughed.

The few Han people were convinced, and they no longer had any doubts.They stayed in Jinzhou and discussed with the officials of the Jiedu Mansion very enthusiastically how to set up an overseas department.

They are more aggressive.

I can't wait for the Overseas Division to include all the things in the world, even the disappearance of the New World is included in the Overseas Division's plan.

What kind of overseas legion, what kind of Western development company, New World Company and so on.

With the actions of Jinzhou and the publicity after they returned, more and more overseas Han Chinese gathered in Jinzhou.

There are no less than hundreds of thousands of overseas Han Chinese. Generally speaking, they are people with pioneering spirit, knowledgeable and daring to fight. What is lacking is the support of the state.

Although Jinzhou is only a military town in the Great Zhou, it already has the momentum and strength to swallow mountains and rivers.

No matter the population or people's hearts under the rule, they are unparalleled.

Overseas Division was established directly in Jeju Island.

Tang Qing'an grew up under the red banner of later generations, and he would not be afraid of the people, let alone be afraid that the people would hurt him if they became stronger.

History has proven.

As long as the country is strong and the people are prosperous, people will not only not hurt the leader, but will protect him spontaneously.

and so.

Regardless of the objections of the officials, Tang Qing'an put the Overseas Department, which could be seen as a giant in the future, on Jeju Island instead of keeping it under his nose.

Compared with Jinzhou, Jeju Island is easier to play the role of overseas department.Whether it's influence, distance, etc.

Because overseas Han Chinese joined the Overseas Division, batches of weapons, armaments, and even Jinzhou warships were all released to overseas Han Chinese.

Overseas Han people, they choose not to make money, but also transport food, cotton and other high-load, low-value items from Southeast Asian countries to Jinzhou for exchange.

human heart.

This is the power of the human heart.

The power of the human heart cannot be brought into play, and the people cannot be blamed.Just like Lee's North Korea, Jinzhou's [-] soldiers can make Lee's North Korea with a population of tens of millions exhausted.

Like a big week.

In a country with hundreds of millions of people, hundreds of people who came from a distance of [-] miles, it took half the power of the country to drive them away.

Looking at the leopard in the tube, the Great Zhou Dynasty is actually a scene at the end of the dynasty.

……

Several overseas Han merchants came to Jinzhou again and asked the general for support.

"You want to recruit retired soldiers and military officers from the Golden State?"

Tang Qing'an confirmed it.

Luo Shi and the others looked anxiously, wondering if the general would be angry.

Just like shipbuilding, an experienced shipwright is needed.The same is true in the military, which requires experienced veterans and military attachés.

Why are there so many evils in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the officers and soldiers can still suppress the rebels?This is the professional difference.

And the same soldiers, why are hundreds of British people exhausted when they can stir up Guangdong.

Because of these hundreds of British people, many of them were officers from the British army, and they were hired by businessmen after careful selection.

Although there are only a few hundred people, their military literacy is indeed very high.

Professional skills surpassed that of the Guards.

To organize hundreds or thousands of people requires various management systems, not to mention tens of thousands of troops.

The military is actually an ultra-highly professional industry.

The [-] veterans in Jinzhou, as well as the huge mid- and lower-level military officers, are the most rare talents.It is more difficult to cultivate professional talents than any industry.

The founding of New China, an agricultural country, has not yet entered the threshold of industry, and weapons are made by all nations.

But New China has the most precious wealth in the world, that is, countless military talents honed from the flames of war.

It is precisely because of the strength of this group of super-high-level professionals, coupled with the support of the people of the country, that even though the weapons are inferior to others, they still faced the enemy's petrol bombs, planes, and artillery walls, and made great military exploits that shocked the world.

The development of anything cannot be separated from science.

Even if the overseas Chinese have weapons and supplies they urgently need, but without professional talents, it will be difficult for them to be hostile to Spain, Britain, and the Netherlands in the end.

So they're looking at Golden State's most valuable talent.

"Yes, I agree."

Tang Qing'an did not veto it.

Everything should be viewed from two sides.Soldiers from Jinzhou joined overseas, expanding the strength of overseas Han people.

So officials are worried that a new force will form that will break away from Golden State's control.

but.

It is precisely because of the joining of the Golden State soldiers that it has also expanded the influence of the Golden State. As long as the Golden State maintains its current situation, why worry?

Officials are worried because they fear competition and disrupt the status quo.

pity.

The world is different and changing, as the ancients said, if you sail against the current, you will retreat if you do not advance.

Just because you don't change doesn't mean that others will stay where you are.

Only by putting an end to conservative ideas, bravely joining the competition, and constantly correcting one's mistakes can we move forward and keep our eternal advantage.

Otherwise, the advantage will be overtaken sooner or later.

The few overseas Chinese were speechless, they had never seen a general like this before.

It's not that they haven't dealt with the officials of the Great Zhou, and they know the arrogance and stubbornness of the officials of the Great Zhou.

It doesn't make sense to reason with them, they are used to their lives and don't want new things to appear.

Although the officials in Jinzhou are diligent and thrifty, they are more or less contaminated with the habits of the old officials.

They also don't want matters beyond their control.

Only the generals are different.

"General, you are the most broad-minded person I have ever seen."

Mao Rong said sincerely.

The speed at which Golden State develops, and the general is such a great man and young, as long as the general is not blinded by power.

Mao Rong has confidence in Golden State and is not afraid of any challenges.

With the support of the general, soon, the military division posted notices in every battalion and every yamen.

"Join the overseas legion?"

"What is the Overseas Legion?"

People gathered around the notice, looked at the novel content, and whispered to each other, showing curiosity.

"It's the group of overseas Han Chinese who are going overseas."

"Where is overseas?"

"Who knows."

"How can I go overseas? Where my ancestors lived, I will die here."

"The old ancestor didn't tell you to only guard the house."

Hearing this, the young man immediately retorted.

"You youngster know a lot."

Although the young man was wearing a military uniform, the old man was not afraid. The children in his family also wore military uniforms.

"Don't push your timidity and ignorance onto your ancestors."

The young man left behind these words and left straight away.

"This young man."

The angry old man jumped.

……

The military commander's notice made a lot of noise.

Many people returned to Jinzhou to see the general. After seeing the general, they unanimously opposed the military commander's announcement.

"Giving our soldiers to others, isn't it raising tigers?"

"Of course not. The Overseas Division will formulate detailed regulations to manage and control the overseas legions. How can you say that it is breeding tigers?"

Tang Qing'an retorted.

"It's beyond our reach overseas, I'm afraid Jieshi will be out of our control."

"Then shouldn't we think of more ways to deal with it? How can we ban things because we are afraid of change."

Tang Qingan was angry.

After all, it is the arrogance of officials and their unwillingness to leave their comfort zones.

Overseas divisions are obviously conducive to development.

Of course, there will be many risks and consequences.What the government should think about is how to solve the risks and problems so that overseas companies can develop smoothly.

But recently, there have been more and more officials who oppose it, and most of them demand that overseas companies be banned.

why?
Is it because they cannot see the interests of overseas companies?
I'm afraid not.

He rejected the officials, but that didn't mean the debate would stop. Discussions about the military commander's announcement became more and more intense everywhere.

Overseas benefits, with the general's move, there is indeed a risk of breeding tigers, and setting up potential enemies for Jinzhou out of thin air.

"Arrogance, or Lying Comfortably." "

In response to this situation, Tang Qingan wrote an article.

It only refers to some officials who have abandoned their fighting spirit and want to sit down and become officials.The wording of the article is intense.

For the first time, people saw the anger of the general.

Before the officials reacted.

The military commander immediately stood up, supported the general's article, and called on everyone to learn from the general's spirit and maintain a hard-working and upward spirit.

Subsequently.

Golden State veterans berate those who oppose the general.

More and more common people began to scold him, how could anyone oppose the general?

From the Golden State to local.

In the four major military towns, the officers and soldiers were organized in unison to study the general's articles, everyone needs to learn.

The students of the military academy left the academy and went to the joint, preaching the general's articles to the common people.

It was too much trouble.

Many officials don't understand why what they say is actually protecting the rights of the general. Does the general not understand?
They don't understand.

The general's interests were not aligned with theirs.

I don't even understand.

Only when it is integrated with the interests of the people, can the rights in one's hands be the most stable and powerful.

A lie is just a lie, a bubble that cannot withstand external forces. It looks fat, but in fact it will burst when touched.

"Go to Nanyang."

A trend was formed.

Many veterans and officers voluntarily joined the Overseas Division, and were dispatched overseas under the unified arrangement of the Overseas Division.

The sea is at great risk.

But with the general's call and support, they are not afraid of danger.

Only then did the cautious overseas businessmen dare to come forward, took away this batch of valuable talents, and went overseas to strengthen the strength of the Han people.

An officer can train a team of professionals.Veterans can stabilize the team and affect newcomers in details.

Plus ships and weapons purchased from the Golden State.The strength in the hands of overseas businessmen has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In Southeast Asian countries, the docks and bases that originally belonged to overseas merchants were robbed by people from Western countries.

Overseas businessmen are the people with the most fighting spirit. What they lack is strength and support from the rear.

Now Golden State has made up for their shortcomings
The situation in Southeast Asia immediately became a mess.

Western countries themselves are hostile to each other, and with the resurgence of overseas Han people, the situation is becoming more and more tense.

No one will let anyone.

Including Luzon.

The Spaniards were planning to massacre the local Han people for the fourth time, because there were too many local Han people and controlled all aspects of the industry. If they wanted to gain a firm foothold, they had to deal with the Han people.
