From Chief to Ball

Whether it is a request to take it back or a proposal to take it back, it is a normal procedure and a procedure that must be followed.

A person's power is weak, but with a group of people who want to do great things behind him, the power will be very strong, and it will be easier to do something.

There are gold mines, coal mines, and sulfur mines near Wangbei City. These mines can just cooperate with Chen Jian's workshops to establish some preliminary industries and mining industries. This will also become an important source of income to support the development here. Immigration and reclamation business.

But it is not enough to have mines without professional personnel. A modern political party organization with a rudimentary form can easily organize enough manpower, as long as the matter can be rationally explained that it is for the purpose and interests of the political party. .

It would also be of great benefit if trade with Asia can be one step ahead.The trade with Africa, Europe, and Spanish colonies is extremely profitable, and the eyes of capital will be fixed there.Taking advantage of this advantage, the trade route on the Asian side can be controlled before powerful capital sets foot here. From the perspective of the simplest interests and funds, the organization will also attach great importance to the construction here.

After all, in a short period of time, the Great Wilderness is a place that loses money or cannot make money, and basically gets nothing except the free spread of ideas.The development of the organization requires money, and because of ideological reasons, many things cannot be done, and hands are tied. Trading here is also an important plus point for paying attention to this side.

What Chen Jian wants to do, other people may not want to do, such as the things he tossed about on Daming's side.

Persuasion is on the one hand, and interests are on the other. Only in this way can the two internal forces be integrated: for those who recognize that everyone in the world is human, coming here to do things is in line with their minds; For the part of the people who don't care about other people's affairs because of domestic injustice, they come here to do things to raise more funds.

It seems troublesome, there are internal differences, explanations must be made, different treatment must be made, and the opinions of many people must be considered.But without these troubles, these things cannot be done, because it is necessary to be organized and rely on the strength of organization.

Chapter 86 Keynote

Fuzhou City.

What Chen Jian did in Ryukyu was a big gift to the new governor Chen Zizhen, but this big gift made the governor a little at a loss.

He was not a figure in the military. From a civilian officer such as a patrol officer and general administration to a governor in charge of military affairs, it was difficult to do many things.

When Chen Jian pretended that a businessman brought news that the Satsuma clan might invade Ryukyu, he also considered for a long time and sent 50 people. just the best.

At that time, the news was still uncertain, which was considered preparedness.He was newly appointed, and he knew that foreign people like Chen Jian had sent people to the capital to discuss tribute and trade. He also knew that he had tacitly allowed these people to stay in Danshui when he took office, but he didn't know how to deal with them.

It can only be said that the disaster relief in Quanzhou left a good impression on him, and he couldn't solve the problems left before, so it could only be Xiao Gui and Cao Sui.

However, he never expected that within a month, the news from Ryukyu completely plunged Fujian's officialdom into an unimaginable chaos.

The first news is that more than [-] people from the Satsuma domain invaded Ryukyu. In a big battle, the deputy general Hirata Masamune was killed, the main general Kawayama Kudaka was captured, and more than [-] people were killed.

Such news can be called a miracle. The former general Zhu Wenda once captured more than 30 heads of Japanese pirates, and he can be included in the 50 Silver Prizes in the capital.

In this blow, more than 900 heads were beheaded, and a chief general was also captured. In particular, the news brought back said that the captured Kawayama Kudaka had also invaded North Korea with the Shimadzu family.

At that time, many people did not believe that this was true. Such a result of the battle is really amazing, and the political significance is more important than this result.

When everyone didn't believe it, the second news came, and this time it was confirmed.A letter bearing the seal of King Shangning came over, mixed with some blurry black and white photos.

These officials have gradually accepted such things as photography. Although some people think that it sucks people's souls, some people still accept it after all. become.

Everyone thought, it's really interesting that these people didn't falsely report the number.However, after thinking about it again, these people are not officials after all, and they are not involved in the evaluation of meritorious service, so they are even happier, thinking that no matter what, they can get a share of the credit.

Especially as time passed, the news became more and more accurate and detailed, and the civil and military officials in Fujian fell into a carnival.

The captured Huashan Jiugao was naturally going to be escorted to the capital. This was one of the most important events in the past few years. How can I say these credits are indispensable.

What Chen Zizhen had to consider was how to report this matter.

How to report involves two most important issues.

The great achievement of strategizing and defending the state of Gongbang naturally belongs to the governor.But what about the rest of the credit?Who are the people sent to?Is there still a lot of support for righteous indignation?This is the first thing to consider.

Secondly, what is going on with this matter?These Fanbang ships who claim to be Great Xia are more proficient in guns and guns than Japanese pirates. Is it a good thing or a bad thing for them to be here?

The emperor and central officials were far away in Beijing, and the memorial of the local officials would determine the future direction of this matter. Chen Zizhen didn't want to make a decision alone, so she called in officials from various military affairs, coastal defense, and naval divisions in Fuzhou to discuss the matter. thing.

Someone who has accepted a bribe naturally understands how to say it.

"My lord, I feel that this is a very good thing. Anyway, Ryukyu was also a state of tribute in Taizu's time. This time it also shows the power of my dynasty, and it will be more restrained compared to the Japanese. If Ryukyu is occupied, then Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian will all be in danger, and will damage Tianwei."

Chen Zizhen nodded and said: "That's true, I naturally know this, but why do these people from the Great Xia Kingdom do this?"

"My lord, they are just doing it for the mutual market. Think about it, my lord, after this battle, they will inevitably have a grudge against the Japanese. This is exactly what we hope. And as long as we grasp the matter of the mutual market trade, they will not dare to do anything wrong." thinking."

"I'm just afraid that their mutual market is fake, and it's true to spy on the country."Chen Zizhen said this without any haste, mainly because he was worried that if something happened, he would be held responsible, and his own reputation would be bad, and he would be charged with leading a wolf into a house.

"Your Excellency, you can rest assured that if they have such thoughts, they will naturally form an alliance with the Japanese. And what they did in Quanzhou before can be regarded as doing enlightenment. Now they have sent envoys to Beijing. What is the situation above? We don’t know yet, we can only wait.”

Another person also hit the rails while it was hot: "My lord, they are only doing business with each other, and now they are fighting against the Japanese pirates. , it is better to borrow the help of teachers and destroy them at sea."

"Nowadays Fujian has just suffered from disaster relief and floods, and the military salaries owed by various places have been accumulated for a long time. It is difficult for the navy to fight. Now it does not cost the court one soldier, one soldier, one silver and one meter to defend the Ryukyu Tributary Kingdom, and to borrow the power of those people Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone to rob Japanese pirates at sea?"

"Your Excellency, you might as well report this matter to your superiors. The more these people want to trade with each other, you can use it as a threat. If you allow them to trade with each other, you will ask them to help encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates. If there are traitors who enter the sea to trade with the Japanese privately, you can also use it." Let them help arrest them."

"In this way, there is no need to add troops. In this way, tens of thousands of dollars can be saved every year, and the sea can be calmed. Isn't it a multiplicity of actions? This is the method of using the barbarians to control the barbarians. If you have different intentions, these people must fight to the death for trade."

"This time, if my lord predicts that the enemy will take the initiative to plan a strategy, I am afraid that Ryukyu has already fallen at this time. This is really intolerable. Now relying on my lord's strategy, Ryukyu can protect its clan, but it is said that Ryukyu was burned, killed and looted by those Japanese. It is already dilapidated, but we can ask for a decree to change the Ryukyu ten-year tribute, which will show the kindness of the heaven."

This kind of rhetoric, which had been drawn up long ago, was said in such a meeting in such a grand manner after spending some money, and it was said so seamlessly that it sounded very reasonable.

Chen Zizhen thought for a long time, told the crowd to disperse, and went to write the memorial for the newspaper, and she also had some calculations in her mind.

In any case, it was a very important victory at this time. It not only raised the national prestige but also showed that he was ahead of the enemy. Naturally, this matter needs to be well written.

He also listened to the opinions of those people before, and he also understood that what he said as the governor would affect some of the decisions above.

After weighing the gains and losses of the left and right, I finally decided to follow the ideas put forward by those people before.

Chapter 87 The other side

Chen Zizhen's first memorial has been passed along the post station to the north after confirming the news of Ryukyu.He was very sure about the accuracy of the news. Chen Jian kept sending people back to pass the news back, and some businessmen who returned from Ryukyu also brought back the news.

These businessmen are all illegal smugglers, but they turn a blind eye to many things.What Chen Zizhen wanted to know was the real result of the Battle of Ryukyu, and now all the things in the monthly report may not be credible, so he couldn't help being careless.

As one of the top figures in Fujian, Chen Zizhen's memorial can affect the development of many things.

But there is not only one big shot in Fujian.

At this time, the home of another big man in Fuzhou City also welcomed the envoy sent by Chen Jian.

After the tax supervisor Gao Caiping dismissed the people around him, he received the people sent by Chen Jian in high spirits.

He is also often involved in the illegal smuggling of Japanese trade, so he sees things from a clearer perspective than some officials.No matter how much trouble there is in Ryukyu, it will not affect the trade with Japan, but will make the trade more profitable.

With such a big event, the ban on Japanese trade will be stricter.

The stricter the ban, the higher the profit from smuggling, which Gao Cai knows very well.

After exchanging greetings for a while, the envoy presented some unclaimed property that Chen Jian had found in Ryukyu, and Gao Cai happily accepted it.

The two sides have communicated many times, and some things can be said blatantly.

"This time you did a beautiful job. Our family really didn't expect to be able to do it so happily. The Japanese will not dare to have any thoughts about Ryukyu within a few decades. In this way, I can also express to the Holy Spirit After all, your contributions and thoughts are different from those Hongyi."
