Chapter 10

10.13 Yizhong enters the sea, Wei Xu enters Beijing

"At present, the big island on the southeast coast is very close and has not been brought under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but it is no secret. Many people in the south have been there, and even settled there. I am afraid that you have no hope there." Wei Wei Xu first talked about the situation.

"That's right, my people went there to see it, and there are indeed quite a few of them that I migrated to the common people. Although it's not too many, it's absolutely impossible to keep it secret." Duke Yizhong nodded, "So, what's your suggestion?"

"Not far south of this big island is another big island and an archipelago. You can start over there, and there are also many Chinese immigrants there, so you don't have to lose sight of it. Everything starts from scratch.

You now have [-] elite soldiers and no less dark forces than before. Now you can send [-] troops and half of the dark forces there, and you will be able to gain a firm foothold within half a year. "Wei Xu said that it is naturally the Philippines in reality.

"You know a lot." Duke Yizhong frowned, "What's next?"

"Remember to let me know when you get a firm foothold, and I will arrange to send people there, but there won't be too many. It's estimated that there will be three to five million yuan, and it won't happen once. It will take a year or two at least.

However, since you have so many people, they must have families. If they are willing to go there, I don't mind helping out a couple of times. Anyway, you must know how much land there is. " Wei Xu said with a smile.

Saeko's intelligence network is also arranged on the Yizhong County King's side, and the reverse is definitely true. Whether it will be successful or not is another matter, but these are all tacit things. Even if the Yizhong County King guessed the problem, he can only Two words of sarcasm.

As for the latter part of the population, Wei Xu is actually preparing for the future. The king of Yizhong County cannot be honest no matter what, no matter who is sitting on the dragon chair, as long as it is not him, he has to continue to make trouble.

Since Wei Xu wanted to rule the world, he definitely couldn't tolerate people messing up things. The problem was that with Qin Keqing around, it wasn't convenient for him to kill Li Xi, the king of Yizhong County—in fact, this was the easiest thing to do.

In this way, it is a good arrangement to give them a piece of land and then send it out. Anyway, they are outside, and they can just make trouble, just to expand the living space for Huaxia.

In real history, although Chinese immigrants spread all over Southeast Asia, they have never had any status. The root cause is the inferiority complex deep in these people's hearts, because most of them ran over because they couldn't get along in China.

As a result, they tend to think of themselves very lowly. When communicating with the leading figures among the Nanyang aborigines, they take it for granted that they, like the Chinese government, should "be patient and give in."

However, many times, the fist is the root of the problem, so that when the Chinese immigrants have long controlled the entire upper echelon of the Nanyang economy, it is ridiculous that they have no real status.

Yizhong County King is different. Even if he is driven to Nanyang in the future, he will never be reconciled to a few native monkeys riding on his head. As long as he is given enough support, he will definitely sweep all directions and become the boss himself.

As long as there is a backbone, with the Chinese people's habit of working hard and striving for the top, sooner or later, Nanyang will become "since ancient times"-maybe not in reality, but in the world of "Red Mansion", Wei Xu thinks so !
"It's not enough to have people alone, and you can't do without the army anywhere." The current king of Yizhong County, under the education of Wei Xu, firmly believes in the common sense that "power grows out of the barrel of a gun". You can’t do it with a stable foothold.”

"Then you need weapons and equipment?" Wei Xu smiled lightly, "No problem, as long as you have money, you can talk about the equipment. It just so happens that I have produced a good iron tire bow here. I will give you as much as you want."

"The White Lotus Holy Army in northern Jiangxi belongs to you?" Unexpectedly, Wei Xu's words made King Yizhong see the problem, "Unexpectedly, you have a lot of thoughts."

"My lord was joking, I don't understand what you mean." Wei Xu flatly denied it, anyway, he doesn't care much about "exposure" now.

"It doesn't matter whether you understand it or not, you can do it yourself." Yizhong County King took a deep look at him, and turned the topic aside, "I know your place called 'Arsenal', and I just need a lot of weapons and equipment .

Two thousand spears, five hundred long knives, one thousand strong bows, one hundred thousand arrows, five hundred sets of armor, and finally a batch of fire attack powder packs, it is best to be in place within a month. "

"No problem." Wei Xu smiled. He could tell that the prince had no idea about the output of his arsenal. "As long as you give us a handover location, we can send it there at any time."

Today's Jiangnan Military Arsenal is no longer the grass-roots team hiding in the small valley of Niutoushan Mountain, but a huge primitive industrial system centered on the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant. The output far exceeds the imagination of people in this era.

The world of "Red Mansion" is very repulsive to all kinds of science, but it cannot escape the most basic world law, that is, most conventional common sense things can also work here.

For example, even though Wei Xu arranged for Wilson Lee and Bernard Woodford to research and develop the steam engine, they still failed to produce it. Obviously everything met the calibration, but there was no power output.

It doesn't matter, these scientific things don't work, then use primitive ones, such as the simplest hydraulic output. In fact, it is to use a special water wheel to drive various lathes, machine tools, punches, etc., to do some work that cannot be solved by manpower. .Some high-strength parts, such as drill bits and bearings, are made of "legendary" materials from this world, such as black iron, deep sea gold essence, and North Sea cold iron. The results are better than expected.

Sufficient materials, strong technical foundation, and processing methods beyond the times have brought unimaginable huge output. For example, the simplest steel crossbow was always a high-end product of "equipment for human beings". Now it can give There is more than enough staff for all officers and soldiers.

Similar to the salt field, the whole Jiangnan is now under the control of Wei Xu, the army is stationed at the county level, and the intelligence network covers all the towns and villages, so no trouble can escape his eyes.

In this way, the saltworks no longer have to hide and cover up as before, but open and large-scale production. Relying on the sales network covering towns and towns, the salt road of Xuezihao has completely controlled the entire Jiangnan.

It's not just their own territory. The huge sea salt production also covers all markets south of the Yangtze River. However, due to lack of power, they can't completely control it like Jiangnan, but they are also the largest supplier. describe.

"That's good." Yizhong County King knew immediately that he had far underestimated Wei Xu's strength, but there was nothing he could do. After exchanging meaningless things, he got up and left Wei's mansion.

"Husband, thank you for being willing to take care of Brother Wang." Qin Keqing quickly saw Wei Xu's arrangement, "I hope he can control the world in Nanyang like King Jin back then, and I hope he is satisfied with the seat there."

"For your sake, I will try my best to negotiate a solution without using force, even if I pay a price." Wei Xu didn't mention his idea of ​​"expanding the living space of the Chinese nation", "However, There will be a price!"

Of course Qin Keqing saw his "intention", but she didn't dodge anything. After giving him a basket of autumn spinach charmingly, she turned and went back to the inner courtyard, leaving behind a string of laughter like silver bells.

The next morning, in the living room of Wei Mansion, Wei Xu received two princes just one day apart, and they were opposite each other. I have to say that the world is really wonderful, and there are so many coincidences that make people dazzled.

"I didn't expect the lord to come like this. The general was not prepared, but the lord laughed." King Zhongshun naturally came in disguise. Although the whole process was under the surveillance of the Jiangnan Army Intelligence Network, there was still something to talk about on the scene.

"Haha, Marquis Wei is so powerful in the south of the Yangtze River. Xiao Wang is just curious and wants to see it. He didn't put on any royal ceremonies today. You and I will meet each other as friends and gossip together." King Zhongshun smiled heartily, and it was true. Something like this.

Naturally, there are rules for talking on the scene. To Lin Ruhai, King Zhongshun can put on the airs of a prince and even threaten him, but to Wei Xu, the head of the powerful army and the master of the [-] Jiangnan Army, he can only be polite.

"My lord was joking, how dare the last general!" Of course, just listen to the words on the scene, and everyone should continue with the procedure. Anyway, some nonsense about hello and me but useless nonsense is indispensable.

"With the merits of Marquis Wei, it's a waste of talent to let people live in a place, and His Majesty can't bear to watch it. With the credit for calming Jiangnan this time, it must be of great use." Finally, after the detour, it's time to enter That's it.

"That's a big reward for a high position, and then he will be promoted." Now that he has entered the topic, Wei Xu will naturally not be polite.

"Marquis Wei needs to know that Wu Xun's lineage lives with the country and has its own glory and wealth, but if it is always in love, don't worry about it, your majesty, and we ministers don't worry about it either!" King Zhongshun said lightly.

"The military generals who have made great contributions to the country in the past dynasties can't get rid of the fate of all their bows. I can accept this." Wei Xu's tone became more and more cold, "But your majesty's attitude towards Wu Xun's line makes me very worried. !"

"The Commander of the Left Army of the Commander's Mansion of the Five Armies, this is His Majesty's intention." King Zhongshun put forward the conditions directly, obviously not wanting to negotiate, "As for the matter of Jiangnan after Lord Wei left, we can talk about it here."

"Oh?" Wei Xu's heart moved, Jiangnan is basically like an iron bucket of the Wei family, even if Yongzheng has an idea, it's useless, it's better to go to Beijing to operate, "If that's the case, why not transfer Lin Ruhai as the governor of Jiangnan, how? ?”

"You—" Prince Zhongshun stood up angrily, almost swearing, but sat down with force, "Is your son-in-law, Weng, planning to give and receive privately?"

"With Jia Yucun as the political envoy in the south of the Yangtze River, Jia Zheng can be transferred to study politics in the south of the Yangtze River, but the title of admiral in the south of the Yangtze River must be reserved for me." Wei Xu's operation stunned King Zhongshun, "Of course, this It will be next year, after all, the civil unrest in the south of the Yangtze River has not yet completely subsided."

"I will play Your Majesty!" After a moment of silence, King Zhongshun still nodded.

"In addition to these, I can guarantee one more thing." Wei Xu looked at King Zhongshun's face, and threw a blockbuster, "Jiangnan Army will reduce its troops by [-], and it will be completed before the end of the year!"

King Zhongshun was completely shocked!
