In the study room of the Zhenjiang Fort General Military Mansion, Jiang Wan listened quietly to Sun Yuanhua's report.
After being away from Zhenjiang Fort for so many days, Jiang Wan is undoubtedly most concerned about the changes on the front line. Now that I heard Sun Yuanhua reporting to you one by one about the negotiations at Gushan Fort, everything has not lost control, and Sun Yuanhua seems to be better than
He imagined that he could do better, which made his eyes look slightly relieved.
It's not that Ming Dynasty didn't have capable officials, it just depends on where these officials are placed and whether they have the motivation to do things with their heart.
"... Therefore, I ordered the Tartars to deliver all the promised but undelivered materials within ten days. Otherwise, I have no intention of talking to them!"
Seeing Jiang Wan remain silent for a long time, Sun Yuanhua was slightly worried: "Master Jiang, have you gone too far? After all, a fight will not be of much benefit to us now!"
"No!" Jiang Wan looked at him and shook her head decisively: "You have done very well. As for whether the war will start again, it has nothing to do with whether there are benefits or not. The war that should be fought does not matter whether there are benefits or not.
If you want to fight, you represent our Zhenjiang Fort and our Ming Dynasty, so naturally you have to be so tough!"
"Then I can rest assured. I am worried that my recklessness will destroy the master's plan!" Sun Yuanhua breathed a sigh of relief.
"Look, the Gushanbao camp is always in a state of preparation for war. Li Zicheng will not relax, nor dare to relax. If the Tartars want to fight, we will naturally accompany them. If they cheat, we will still accompany them. In short, no matter
Whatever my plan is, whatever your Majesty's plan is, our attitude towards the Tartars is clear and clear, and we will never bow our heads!"
"I understand, I understand!"
Sun Yuanhua smiled and nodded, feeling refreshed for a while. Being a commander-in-chief in the Overseas Town and Fu Division was not worthy of the name. Compared with the dignified governor of Denglai, Shandong, he naturally had a lot less authority. However, in this commander-in-chief
The things he does when he is in office can be much more enjoyable than what he did in the position of governor of Denglai. His colleagues are united and his superiors support him. To be honest, if officials are like this, then whether he gets promoted or not, Sun Yuanhua really doesn’t think it is that important.
.
Xiu Zhi Qi Ping does not have to be at the pinnacle of power to do such a thing. As long as what he does can have this effect and is in line with his ideal aspirations as a scholar, Xiu Zhi Qi Ping. Then, he feels that no matter where he is, he will be able to do such things.
OK.
There are no envoys between the Ming Dynasty and the Tartars. To a certain extent, he is not the envoy of the Ming Dynasty now, but represents the Ming Dynasty.
Isn’t this what it means to govern a country and bring peace to the world?
"Your Majesty's plan?" He chewed on Jiang Wan's words, and suddenly realized that there seemed to be other references in Jiang Wan's words.
He expressed his doubts appropriately.
"When I returned to Beijing this time, in addition to visiting my family, I also went to the palace to have several long talks with His Majesty!" Jiang Wan smiled reservedly: "On matters in Liaodong, Your Majesty and I have reached consensus on many aspects, which is very important for my overseas support.
How the company behaves in the future will be of great benefit!"
"Oh, please give me some advice, Commander!" Sun Yuanhua's face was awe-inspiring, and he suddenly realized what Jiang Wan's words meant, and the title he used suddenly became much more formal and serious.
"The cabinet is discussing the ban on foreign trade in the Nine Borders!" Jiang Wan said calmly: "Nothing produced by our Ming Dynasty will be allowed to flow out of the Nine Borders! But this time, the court is serious about it, and I'm afraid there will be many deaths.
It’s going to roll to the ground!”
"Should have been like this!" Sun Yuanhua said angrily, "The appearance of our Ming Dynasty's arrowheads and other ordnance in the Tartar army, and the appearance of our Ming Dynasty's military rations is no longer something that happens overnight. Some moths, for the sake of money, can even betray their ancestors. These moths
, staying in this world is also a disaster!”
"This matter has not been announced to the world yet, so you take advantage of this opportunity to blackmail the Tartars as much as you can. When they find out that they cannot make ends meet, and you want to get something out of their hands, I'm afraid they will
It’s not that easy anymore!”
"I know what to do!"
"So, don't worry about the reaction of the Tartars. Over at Gushan Castle, if the Tartars are not willing to give you a clean answer, then let's give them a beating before continuing to talk. If the talks fall apart, then continue to fight. This will remind the Tartars that we are not
It’s so easy to fool, and the other one, you have to give my officers and soldiers of the Overseas Prosecution Division a chance to train. Only when the soldiers have seen blood can they be effective!"
"I have taken note of the commander's orders!"
Jiang Wan did not tell Sun Yuanhua about the location of the mutual trade at Gushan Fort. It was obviously not necessary at the moment. Only when the Tartars really felt that Gushan Fort was their largest source of supplies that they could not get, probably the Tartars
Only then will we really consider this matter seriously.
Right now, it's too early.
Sun Yuanhua resigned, but Jiang Wan's matter was not over yet.
There are too many official documents from the military and civil affairs yamen accumulated over the past few days that need his approval, and only documents that are important enough will be sent to him. This also means that every one of his approvals will probably
It can affect many people.
In this matter, almost no one can help him. The only ones who can help him are a bunch of sisters like Jin Suyan and Jin Suya. Even so, they only do some servicing work and have no real influence on Jiang Wan.
The work on it didn't help.
Sitting in front of the case, Jiang Wan cut down a large portion of the accumulated documents. She stood up, moved her hands and feet, and then unfolded a letter in her hand.
Before dealing with the official documents, he dug out the letters from these documents and read them while he was resting, so as to relax his brain.
The letter was written by Jiang Yanran.
For this little girl who is almost definitely a time traveler, it can be said that Jiang Wan has spared no effort to support her, whether it is money, manpower, or power. If Jiang Wan has a daughter, Jiang Wan feels that she may not be able to do anything for her.
Even now he feels a little regret that his daughter has reached this point. If he had not been so upright when he accepted Jiang Yanran as his sworn sister, and directly changed it to become a goddaughter, maybe this girl would be talking about "Fuck" now.
"Father".
However, the risk of this matter is very high. No matter what happens, this little secret between him and Jiang Yanran will definitely be revealed in the end. Jiang Yanran knows that Jiang Wan, who is also a time traveler, takes advantage of her. It is estimated that although this girl
They won't fall out, but Jiang Wan will definitely spend the rest of her life in fear - this girl's revenge will definitely be inevitable.
So, it’s not bad for adopted sisters to be adopted sisters.
The letter has more than ten pages. The handwriting on the paper is beautiful and square. At first glance, it seems that it was not written by the little girl herself. However, the content and writing of the letter are as always in line with the little girl's speaking habits. It seems that the writing is elegant.
She still doesn't know how to trick her, or maybe she has been strengthening the relationship between him and herself in this way. Except for people who are extremely close to her and write letters in this colloquial way, who would do this?
There was a lot of content in the letter, including big and small things, and most of the time it was the little girl's ramblings. In Jiang Wan's opinion, this was not so much a letter to him, but rather this was the little girl's diary. The content of the letter
The continuous duration is enough to prove this. These contents were not written in one day.
The first batch of reinforcements from the Nanhai Battalion led by Qian Wubing have landed in Ryukyu. Although the Qianlaihao people of the Nanhai Battalion are really nothing in today's Overseas Pressure Division, they are already the most important thing the Ryukyu Kingdom has seen in recent years.
They have arrived at their largest Ming army.
It is said that on the day the fleet arrived, almost all of the Ryukyu Royal Court came forward to welcome the arrival of the Ming reinforcements on the dock. The Ryukyu King not only designated a large garrison area for this army, but also
Even all the expenses for this army and horse were covered.
Jiang Yanran proudly showed off in the letter that she had almost obtained three times the usual military pay for the soldiers and horses of the Nanhai Battalion.
Jiang Wan shook his head in amusement. He seemed to see Jiang Yanran's arrogant show off between the lines of these words, just like a child who had done a lot of things and was proudly waiting for praise from the adults at home.
"Three times is not enough, at least ten times!" He murmured to himself, "This girl is still not suitable to be a businessman, her heart is not dark enough!"
Less than half a month after the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty arrived in Ryukyu, the Japanese pirate fleet came in a fierce manner. I don’t know if they came to settle accounts with the fleet from all over the world, or if they came to have a good chat with the King of Ryukyu. Anyway, they gathered together
Seven to eight hundred people, armed with long guns and short cannons, looked arrogant.
At Jiang Yanran's suggestion, the Ryukyu people endured the humiliation and went out to welcome these Japanese pirates into the city, expressing their regret. However, as soon as they arrived in the city, thousands of Ming troops who looked like tigers and wolves jumped out at the gate of the Ryukyu King's city.
I made dumplings for the hundreds of Japanese pirates who entered the city. Outside the port, the fleets from all over the world also suddenly launched an attack. The Japanese pirates came with seven or eight ships. In the end, only two of them escaped. The others are now sunk there.
Outside the harbor.
Now the Ryukyu people are smiling and taking out their money, asking people from all over the world to help dredge the port and clean up these sunken ships!
Anyway, when things got here, basically the Japanese pirate forces in Ryukyu had been uprooted with the cooperation of Shihai and the King of Ryukyu. There were even some wandering Japanese merchants on the Ryukyu islands. They didn't need to be driven away by the Ryukyu people.
If we have to flee, I am afraid that for a long time, no one from Japan will come to visit Ryukyu Kingdom.
Now the King of Ryukyu has handed over Ryukyu's entire foreign trade, security and defense and other matters to the Ming people. As the leader of the Ming people, Jiang Yanran is the only connection between Ryukyu and the Ming court. Now she is in Ryukyu.
Her treatment is far better than that of a Ryukyu princess.
At the end of the letter, in addition to urging Jiang Wan's second support force to be sent to her as soon as possible, Jiang Yanran also asked Jiang Wan narrowly whether he was interested in the princess of the Ryukyu Kingdom. Jiang Wan's mouth twitched at the suggestion, no.
Be prepared for any reply.
Jiang Wan put the letter away with a relaxed smile on his face. Sihai Trading Company had established a firm foothold in Ryukyu. Next, there is a high probability that Sihai's overseas base can be transferred from Haojing'ao to Ryukyu.
As for the Francois in Haojing'ao and the Dutch who occupied Dongyi, they are now in a state of turmoil. A fight may happen at any time. Jiang Wan is absolutely certain. When their snipe and clam fight is over, he, a fisherman, will
It should be a good time to intervene. However, this matter not only requires Jiang Yanran's cooperation, but also requires Kessely to take command in the middle and seize the opportunity to maximize the interests of Ming Dynasty and Sihai.
The big river has water and the small river is full!
Only when the Ming Dynasty gets enough benefits will it gradually become stronger, and with the support of the Ming Dynasty, the Four Seas can move freely among the seven seas.
"Please ask Deputy Director Xu from the Military Intelligence Department to come over!"
Jiang Wan sat down at the desk again and gave instructions to the people around him. Today's two giants in the Military Intelligence Department are Gao Xingsheng and Xu Xianchun. Although Gao Xingsheng has the most power, he has to serve Jiang Wan for a long time, and
Urgent tasks arise from time to time, so Xu Xianchun has always been responsible for the daily operations of the Military Intelligence Department.
If Jiang Wan wants to ask about something and Gao Sheng doesn't know it, then Xu Xianchun must know it.
A moment later, Xu Xianchun appeared in front of Jiang Wan.
"What happened to the group of Tartars who surrendered in Liaoyang back then?"
Jiang Wan didn't exchange a few words with him and directly asked the topic: "Have these people been reformed?"
"It's hard to say. I can only say that some people have reformed well, but some people have no need to reform!" Xu Xianchun considered his words and replied slowly.
"These prisoners are important resources for our Zhenfu Division, and they can make us money!" Jiang Wan shook his head. Of course he knew that the treatment of these prisoners was not very good, and it was normal for some of them to die. However, he still
Just something to mention.
"This subordinate knows that if he surrenders, everyone will die. It will not be so easy to get the Tartars to surrender!"
Xu Xianchun said with a smile: "So, I selected some well-behaved and smart people from the reformed people, and planned to send them to Gushan Fort for a walk, so that the Tatars over there can take a look. Even if they come to our side
, they can also live a good life!"
"Yes!" Jiang Wan nodded: "When necessary, these people can be given the same status as soldiers in the army and the same treatment as soldiers, but these people must always be under the supervision of your Military Intelligence Department!"
"This is natural!"
"Also, there is news from Ryukyu, asking when the second batch of reinforcements can be sent there. You send people to Pi Island to pick a few. First, pick two hundred people and send them there to try. If they can be used, let's continue.
Use it. If they can’t use it or are disobedient, let them go to Ryukyu to die!”
Jiang Wan said calmly: "It is their own choice to live or die. If they want to live, they can find a new way to live. If they want to die, there are many ways to make their death worthwhile!"
"My subordinates will arrange for someone to do it!"
Xu Xianchun replied respectfully.
"It's done. Let's coordinate with the Civil Affairs Office and wait until the fleet is free to send it over!" Jiang Wan waved her hand: "I'll report back when the job is done!"
