The term and identity of retainer has always existed.
The Fuxing Army is the country's military, and its shares in the original Huaihai Company and Yangtze River Group have been split with Dong Shuheng personally.
Dong Shuheng knew that with his current prestige, he could definitely control them at will.
But he doesn't want to do this. Although he can now feed the people, make money for the factory owners, and give enterprising people a chance to live.
But this country has not yet awakened.
If a country wants to wake up, it must learn to think.
The country has flesh and blood and a soul. Its soul is the collection of the souls of all its people.
But now Dong Shuheng has not been able to make her learn to think.
If you want him to learn to think, you can't help him think everywhere.
You have to make some ruthless cuts.
This is what Dong Shuheng is doing now. But this matter will not be accomplished overnight.
It is a long process. But as a living person, an individual integrated into this world.
Dong Shuheng also has his own selfish motives. He hopes that for the rest of his life, he can live well and live a safe and worry-free life.
But if you want to live a safe and worry-free life like his, you must always have a power to protect you.
But this is contradictory to his current big goal of dividing power.
That's why he wants to build a private country for himself in North America. At that time, there will be one director in South America and one director in North America, which is equivalent to adding a double insurance.
As for why even the primitive hierarchical system of retainers is used.
That's because Dong Shuheng believed that this system was not outdated. It was a system similar to enfeoffment.
In fact, you still need to form a solid interest group around yourself.
Dong Shuheng will not implement such a system in the country because that would be a step backwards.
But the American West is still a blank sheet of paper. Dong Shuheng can paint on it as he pleases.
Of course, Dong Shuheng still mobilized many domestic forces.
But Dong Shuheng felt at ease. He paid much more for the Fuxing Army than he took from him.
Moreover, he is operating in accordance with the original plan of the Greater China Circle.
It doesn't violate the original intention.
They say you can’t put all your eggs in one basket, but you have to have several baskets first!
If there is only one basket, it can only be placed in one place.
Dong Shuheng now wants to weave more baskets for the Chinese.
There is a big basket for China, a small basket like that, a basket for North America, a big basket for South America, and there may be more in the future.
If the east is not bright and the west is bright, the future of the Chinese people will be brighter.
Economic monopolization of the entire western United States is only the first step, transferring retainers there and expanding security along the Yangtze River is the second step.
The third part is to continue immigration to enrich the Chinese population base here.
There are many Koreans, and the shogunate will become one of the underlying foundations here.
In the past, it was impossible for all Chinese to be landlords. Each person had a thousand acres of land, and Dong Shuheng did not have that much land to distribute.
So, in the western United States, Dong Shuheng decided to gradually divide the social classes.
He will be the top of the pyramid there. Then he will have his own retainers to form a class of officials and generals.
Next are the soldiers, who are also a class that enjoys special treatment. Finally, the ordinary people.
There are also servant classes composed of people from Korea and the shogunate.
When Liu Mingyuan was persuading Dong Shuheng to proclaim himself emperor.
I told Dong Shuheng that if he did not proclaim himself emperor, he might be killed in the future, and it might even harm his family, relatives and friends.
Dong Shuheng was actually able to point out such a possibility to the image.
Ever since he entered Xinjing in early 1956, Dong Shuheng had been doing this in secret.
Some of the idle people who were originally voted out gradually started to take advantage of it.
Even Wei Yuzhen, Yang Ximei, Lu Feiyan and Hui'er participated.
The only people who know about this plan are all the people closest to me.
The two sisters invested in several cotton textile factories in California over the years also because of Dong Shuheng's instructions.
The project Wei Yuzhen has been directing is the Chinese Academy in San Francisco.
A lot of money has been spent on this academy.
This academy has teachers sent from China, and also spends a lot of money to hire famous teachers from various European countries.
When it is completed, it will be the largest university in the western region, even larger than any university in the eastern states of the United States.
Yang Ximei is mainly responsible for investing in enterprises because he is familiar with business.
Lu Feiyan's character mainly focuses on the military side. Many military personnel sent to North America passed through her hands.
Hui'er is in charge, taking care of the family affairs and taking good care of Dong's mother and children.
In order to build the dragon's nest here in North America, the Dong family mobilized the whole family.
Not everyone in the family can understand why Dong Shuheng traveled so far to build a dragon's nest.
Because he is still at the peak of his powers, there is no danger of delay.
Now no one has the ability to challenge Dong Shuheng's position.
However, Dong Shuheng insisted on doing this and would not explain it to anyone, including his family.
The other members of the Fuxing Army were even less clear about it. They only knew about the Greater China Circle Plan, and they all thought that the things Dong Shuheng did were part of the Greater China Circle Plan.
This is indeed the case. It's just that the Dragon's Nest Project and the Great China Circle Project are being carried out simultaneously.
"Kaicheng, the Patriarch ordered us to expand the army in California to 25,000 men this year. These generals who have sworn allegiance to the Patriarch are the backbone of this army."
"Next year we will expand the army to 50,000 people, and we have a big task next year. The family wants us to take over Panama, which is still under the rule of Granada, but the area has been fighting for independence. I haven't yet
Think about how to control it. After all, it is surrounded by areas originally controlled by Spanish immigrants, and I am afraid that the surrounding countries will unite by then." Zhang Guangshun briefly introduced the military plan.
In addition, they will continue to participate in the Civil War in Kansas and even break the balance next spring to reignite the war.
Without Kansas attracting federal attention, they would probably join forces to drive out the Chinese who secretly control California.
That would be the worst outcome. But the probability is very low.
On the one hand, the Chinese control of California has not yet been made public. The mayors and governors are still white people, but they are all agents of the Chinese.
On the other hand, because of the long distance, the United States now does not have the energy to explore the situation in the west.
The most critical one is the conflict between the North and the South.
"Guangshun, I have no problem here in terms of military spending, but this speed of military expansion will reduce the number of Chinese laborers. In this case, I will have to ask the president to increase the number of immigrants." Li Kaicheng said.
He doesn't have much to do with military matters. He just needs to figure out whether the money in hand is enough, and of course there are people.
"Kaicheng, the president plans to transfer 50,000 workers from North Korea in the fourth quarter of this year, and at the same time recruit 20,000 servants from the shogunate. These 20,000 servants can be counted in next year's military expansion plan, so that your manpower will be
It can be prepared."
"Kaicheng, how many people do we have in California now?" Zhang Guangshun asked. He didn't care about this area, and the specific number was not very clear.
"This now exceeds half a million. But the area here is too wide. What we want to operate is not just a place in California. In the east, our farms have been built to Colorado, to the north to the Columbia River Basin, and in the south we have
Contact Mexicans. It seems like there aren’t many people we can really draw on.”
"According to the president, we need to spread out people to occupy the land first. We are going to push California to introduce a bill to bring these places under California jurisdiction, so that we can occupy the land according to law. Anyway, the Americans have not occupied these areas yet.
The localities establish states.”
"This is why you want to continue fighting the Civil War in Kansas. If the North and the South reconcile in Kansas, then they will definitely turn their attention to the west in the next step. Only if they continue to fight, can we continue to expand our power in the west.
.”
"Although the western part is all mountainous and not as rich as the eastern part, there are so many mineral resources here, and we really have a lot of gold mines here in San Francisco. This is simply a cornucopia. The president has given such a good place to
The two of us take care of it. If we can't handle it well, it will be really unjustifiable."
"Hey, Kaicheng, I see how you are getting more and more old-fashioned when you talk. There is nothing wrong with us doing what the head of the family wants."
"Guangshun, don't be careless. Now that the main force in your hands is being led by that Wall on the front line, you can't let it go. The underground officers still need to talk more and let them always remember the kindness of our president." Li Kaicheng
reminded.
Fortunately, Bai Qiwen is just a commercial and political agent.
But Wall was a general who actually led troops to fight.
Even though the underground generals would not follow him to rebel against Dong Shuheng, Hua Er, who had command authority, was capable of destroying this army.
Therefore, necessary precautions must still be taken.
What Wall didn't know was that among the guards around him were people from the Intelligence Department.
His every move is actually under the surveillance of others.
Even in the Yangtze River security team, after Hua Er's betrayal, there was a plan for who would control the army.
"In this regard, you can rest assured. The Chinese are a foreign race after all, and they are white people. Our soldiers are not stupid. Besides, everyone's family members are in the rear, and they are fighting white people on the front line. It is impossible for our soldiers to join the white people.
"
"Okay, just make up your own mind and don't delay the family leader's important matters. Guangshun, do you know about the Great Salt Lake?"
"Is it the Great Salt Lake in Nevada? That's the territory of the Indians." Zhang Guangshun said casually.
"Well, yes, we bought a mine with an Indian tribe before, but now this Indian tribe has been annexed by another Indian tribe, and there should be a white mining company among them to disrupt the situation. This mine is very important to us
It's very important. So I think you can solve this problem. According to the opponent's strength, you should send at least one regiment over there, try to be cavalry. Because the Indians on the opposite side are hunting tribes, and almost everyone has a horse.
There are guns, and the guns should have been obtained by white mining companies for them." Li Kaicheng explained the basic situation.
In the past, most of the problems encountered were handled by coordinator Zhang Guangshun.
For smaller problems, Li Kaicheng can solve them by asking people from the Intelligence Department.
If that doesn't work, send a special operations team.
However, such a large force can only be dealt with by regular troops.
