0818 Got your wish
After all, this kind of person has existed for a long time, and they are often inextricably linked to the local yamen. After all, some of the money they defrauded had to flow into the government, otherwise how could these sects preach in the countryside? That's why the officers are always reluctant to do things!
But how could Liu Jiang get their wish! Liu Jiang had already arranged for people to bury a lot of weapons and armor in the homes of these sect leaders and backbones. As long as the person who comes to the door searches carefully, he will definitely be able to find it. Even if they can't find it, their own people in the team will also help them find it!
Things progressed step by step as Liu Jiang had arranged. smashed the servants reluctantly arrested people, and complained that Wang Changde had cut off his financial route, but they were frightened by their own discovery!
The weapons and armor that were found were obvious proof that the seemingly harmless liars were carrying out their missionary activities in a planned and purposeful manner. They clearly want to stir up another rebellion against the Smell Fragrance Sect! If that makes them successful, will their heads still be there?
The angry and terrified servants burst out with all their strength and began to hunt down these cultists. I didn't listen to their justifications, pleaded, and threw them directly into prison! A few errand officers who are more diligent in moving around with those cult elements on weekdays have simply taken a black hand in the process of arresting!
So just a month after Wang Changde temporarily took over the important task of acting prefect, Wang Changde cracked a premeditated case of rebellion against the sect! Among the more than a dozen sect leaders and backbones who were captured, half of them turned out their weapons and armor! The officialdom who got the news was all very lucky!
As for these criminals, they naturally had to be sent to the prefect's yamen for strict interrogation. When they arrived at the prefect's yamen, the confessions that had been prepared there were waiting for them to draw the confession! If you don't paint, under Miki, what mouth can't be in supply and demand? In the end, they can only obediently admit it!
This time the White Lotus Sect was broken, and Wang Changde became famous among the scholars! Even Liu Yan, the governor of Shandong, praised Wang Changde for being a man with eyes like lightning, and in the process of going out, he deduced the truth of the matter when he saw the people worshipping Buddha indiscriminately! And in one fell swoop, he took down these cult bandits and avoided the second rebellion of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, and he was really a famous minister
Yikes!
Wang Changde also sent people to the event in a timely manner and spilled a lot of silver. He also secretly arranged for people to promote the spread of his reputation among Shilin. And often go to visit the sick Lord Cui, which makes the relationship between the two closer.
Therefore, after feeling that his body was indeed bad, Master Cui wrote a letter to Shangguan after writing the document of the beggar bones, specifically recommending Wang Changde to take over his position! As a result, the letter had a decisive effect.
Because of Wang Changde's previous spending of money and his performance on weekdays, coupled with his achievements this time, it was enough for him to be qualified for the position of the prefect of Laizhou. So after some operation, Wang Changde got his wish and sat in the position of the prefect of Laizhou.
So far, Liu Jiang's operation has been completed. And with Wang Changde's position in the prefect of Laizhou, Liu Pei is much easier no matter what he does. Therefore, Liu Pei boldly abandoned the affairs of Shandong with confidence and concentrated on going to Taiwan to train new soldiers.
As it turned out, Liu Pei's initial prediction was accurate. With the continuous influx of immigrants, the natives of Southeast Asia have begun to move!
However, in the past six months, walls and watchtowers have been built in various villages. There is also the assistance of the soldiers. Therefore, the repeated robberies and temptations of the strongholds by the natives were repulsed. Although there are losses, they are still within the acceptable range.
The actions of the natives also attracted Liu Pei's revenge. The various strongholds took the opportunity to gather their forces and began to sweep around. Because of the local natives leading the way, although Liu Bei's side also paid a certain amount of casualties, it made room around the stronghold. It also allowed Liu Pei to have enough slaves to open up the perimeter of the stronghold. This tug-of-war with the natives will continue for years to come.
So when it was time to summarize at the end of the year, Liu Pei found that this year was quite a bumper year.
In terms of official position, he has been promoted to Laizhou staff general, and he is already a senior general of the Ming army. So Liu Pei can pull out 3,000 of his own soldiers in a grand manner! After adding the guards he mastered and disbanding and replacing the soldiers inside, the number of troops he had on the surface at this time was close to 8,000
Finish! This is already a decisive force in the local area for Daming!
And Liu Pei's father-in-law, Wang Changde, was promoted to the prefect of Laizhou, and became a senior civil official in the imperial court. With his cover, Liu Pei is more relaxed in everything he does.
Overseas, it was a bumper year for Liu Pei. In this year, Liu Pei left more than 100,000 disaster victims in Shandong and settled them in his farms and became his tenants. The remaining victims were all transferred to Taiwan and Southeast Asia.
At this time, in Taiwan, in addition to the raw flowers in the deep mountains and old forests, the locations suitable for the survival of farmers have been arranged to develop points. They will slowly expand the surrounding land and form towns and cities. At this point, Taiwan is completely in the hands of Liu Pei.
And the direction of Southeast Asia is also good news coming frequently. After Liu Pei took over the stronghold of the Westerners, he stubbornly repelled many attacks by the natives, and gave a large number of kills to the local natives in the counterattack! At the same time, the surrounding land has been developed, and a number of villages and towns have been established, and a thriving scene has been established.

In terms of trade, Liu Pei has also gained a lot. After the northern route opened the Japanese market, it has become more and more luxuriant! A large number of maritime merchants are involved in the shipping routes, so the taxes and tolls on Penghu Island are full of money!
Moreover, in order to make up for the losses caused by his defeat, Governor Cohen returned to India shortly after the signing of the contract, and then led a fleet of three ships to Penghu for trade.
In Penghu, the dazzling array of goods almost dazzled his eyes! After a frenzied rush to buy, Liu Pei sent a fleet to escort them back to India. The Dutch were followed by the Spaniards. A Spanish galleon arrived in Penghu laden with silver and other supplies from North America, taking with it a large amount of cargo.
By the end of the year, the construction of the trading city of Peace on the Malay Peninsula had been completed. A group of brave and capitalized maritime merchants began to transport goods there. The city has begun to flourish.
And with the Peace City, Westerners are more willing to trade here. After all, the emergence of Peace City has shortened the sea route of hundreds of miles, reduced risks, and shortened transaction time.
