Chapter 316 Zhu Qizhen: I seem to be doing it again!
Hue Province, Huazhou.
Zhuqi Town settled down and could finally have a peaceful sleep. Moreover, Huazhou City was not small, with a population of tens of thousands. As soon as they settled in the city, Han Shuiping sensiblely sent a few local young ladies.
How could Zhu Qizhen be so polite?
But he also knows how to behave.
Han Shuiping sent seven, but he only wanted four, and the remaining three were given to Kong Hongxu, Zhang Chenglu and Han Shuiping. These women were not only responsible for warming the beds, but also taking care of them daily.
And there’s no need to worry about causing public outrage, it’s not a robbery.
Bought back.
Families who are poor and unable to make ends meet can only sell their daughters to survive.
When he woke up, Zhu Qizhen had breakfast. Han Shuiping, Kong Hongxu and Zhang Chenglu asked for an audience together. Zhu Qizhen asked Meng Xi to summon them to meet. After everyone sat down, Zhu Qizhen asked: "How is the situation?"
Han Shui said: "The soldiers of Huilongying have completely controlled the two big cities of Huazhou and Shunzhou. They have money and can easily do things, and they have quickly recruited 10,000 new soldiers locally."
Annan is also poor.
Therefore, the recruitment of these 10,000 new soldiers should not be too simple. They should take care of their food and housing, and by the way, they should be given some pocket money every month.
Weapons let them think of their own solutions.
Ordnance such as armor and horses will not be arranged for the time being. We will see the situation later.
Zhu Qizhen said: "What's Li Sicheng's reaction?"
Kong Hongxu said: "There is no news yet, but I guess they will tell Beijing about our affairs, so there is nothing to be afraid of. After all, it is so far away from the Ming Dynasty, and the navy may not be able to win if it comes. Guangxi Dusi and Yunnan Prince Mu's Mansion are coming."
, we have to cross Li Sicheng’s Tokyo, will Li Sicheng agree?”
So I only worry about the navy.
But unfortunately, in a naval battle, Huilongying is really not afraid of the Ming Navy.
Kong Hongxu continued: "His Majesty Jingtai and His Majesty Zhu Jianji will probably not talk to us anymore. After all, it is too far away now and there is no conflict of interest with them. As long as we no longer rush to use the name of the country to establish the imperial court, we can live in peace in this life. The top priority is
, we still need to formulate the basic route for our next development.”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not just let Kong Hongxu and others lurk around Baozong.
There is one more task.
To develop and grow as much as possible, it would be best if we could annex the Li Dynasty. Then the Ming Dynasty can directly take over the territory, and Kong Hongxu, Zhang Chenglu and Han Xiaoping can directly become the center of the Ming Dynasty with this achievement.
Well, Kong Hongxu just wanted to take Duke Yansheng back to the Northern Sect of the Kong family.
Zhu Qizhen nodded, "We are now occupying Hue Prefecture. It is estimated that we will have a battle with Li Sicheng sooner or later. There is nothing to fear. The combat power of Huilong Camp is here, and we can also use money to attack the corrupt generals of Li Sicheng. According to
My idea is that we will eventually occupy the three provinces of Hue, Tan Binh and Sheng Hua, and then rely on the three provinces.
We use local taxes to develop the military and at the same time conduct overseas trade. Although we do not have porcelain or tea, we can be second-rate dealers, buying people from Fujian, Guangdong and other places, and then transporting them to Nanyang and the West for sale, and we can also make a lot of money.
Moreover, our fleet can completely control the passage to the Western Ocean and collect protection fees for passage."
Zhu Qizhen got the advantage of grabbing money.
Zhang Chenglu said: "It is feasible, but if we do this, we must not offend the Ming Dynasty's domestic maritime trade fleet, otherwise the court will probably send a navy to conquer us."
Zhu Qizhen nodded, "That's the truth."
Han Shui was silent for a while, "Actually, the land of the Three Prefectures is still too small. I believe that His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Gyeonggi Province would be happy to see us annexing the entire Annan."
After a pause, "Don't you think so, Your Majesty?"
Living in Annan, even in the land of three prefectures, you, Zhu Qizhen, are still a rootless duck.
But it would be different if Annan was embezzled.
There is absolutely a chance to compete with the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Qizhen's eyes lit up, "But we currently only have more than 10,000 elite troops, and Li Sicheng is not a fatuous king. It is probably a bit difficult to annex Annan. Of course, if we can capture the entire territory of Annan and re-establish our Ming Dynasty regime,
, which is a good thing.”
Han Shui smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, we can find a way to buy Dongfeng firearms from Gyeonggi."
This is the promise of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
At the right time, 10,000 Dongfeng rifles will be provided to South Korea.
Then we can defeat Annan!
Then when the agreed time limit is up, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will lead the young army of the East Palace to take over Annan, and Han will let the successor he has trained continue to escape with the Baozong, fleeing to Champaign or other countries in the Indochina Peninsula.
Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fought all the way and occupied the entire Indochina Peninsula.
Of course, there is another option.
After capturing Annan, Han level's successors sent Baozong to Japan, and Ming Dynasty could take advantage of this opportunity to conquer Japan.
Zhu Qizhen was in disbelief, "Will Zhu Jianji sell it?"
Han Shui said with a smile: "If we go to buy it, His Highness the Prince will definitely not sell it, but if we let Champa buy it, and after the Ming Dynasty's entire army is equipped with Dongfeng rifles, the corrupt officials of the local capital will also trade with us.
"
After a pause, he said, "So, making money is the way to go!"
If you have money, any problem can be solved easily.
Zhang Chenglu said: "We can just have an idea for these things now. The most urgent thing is to ask General Han to think about how to deal with Li Sicheng's upcoming army."
Han Pingping laughed and said, "Just hit him!"
Li Sicheng's army arrived, and Huilongying gave him a severe blow. Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver had been spent to establish relationships with generals in Xinping Prefecture, and they had promised long-term benefits.
In other words, as long as Zhu Qizhen continues to be entrenched in Hue, Hue, Xinping, and Shenghua, the generals stationed in Hue will have a steady stream of windfalls.
Scholars who were influenced by Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty could be corrupted by money.
Not to mention Annan's generals.
Zhu Qizhen immediately felt relieved, "In this case, according to General Han's words, next, we will recruit new soldiers, build warships, and build maritime trade roads. At the same time, we will manage Hue Prefecture, Shenghua Prefecture, and the upcoming
The Xinping Prefecture under the government will strive to use benevolent government to attract Li Sicheng’s people to these three prefectures. By then, they will have a population of one million and invade Tokyo!"
According to analysis, Zhu Jianji will not pursue him relentlessly.
So as long as we can withstand Li Sicheng's attack, use the land of the Three Prefectures to develop people's livelihood, reduce taxes, and then use the money from overseas trade, it is entirely possible to create a more powerful force than Taiwan.
Regarding governance, Zhu Qizhen considered himself no worse than Li Sicheng. He, Li Sicheng, was the king of a barbarian country, so what the hell.
As long as you govern benevolently and care for the people, and you can make money, once the people in the Three Prefectures get better, won't people from other places in Annan flock to you?
If you have a population, you have everything!
When the time comes to counterattack Tokyo and capture the entire territory of Annan, it is only a matter of time.
Han Shuihui, Kong Hongxu, and Zhang Chenglu immediately stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty is wise!"
