Gao Pragmatic didn't know whether Princess Yongning had predicted it for a long time, or if she thought of it as a play. The situation in Liaodong and Beijing is very different, that place is a "military district", and even the administrative system is different from the two capitals and thirteen provinces, this school is built there, if there is any accident, it can almost only be reported directly to the governor or the local military department.

built in Liaoyang, if something happens, you can only go directly to the governor; If these two guys refuse to take care of it, the matter will have to be stuck there - you have a girls' school, find the commander of the local security station, even if they are kind enough to help, but under the hands it is really uneven, can you rest assured?

Gao pragmatic foreign three stages, and to do patrol, but also to do military preparation, and to be the governor, has always been the official of the guard, he himself has never met in front of him do not know the life and death of the guard, but that does not mean that the discipline of the guards is good, "bandits are like combs, soldiers are like grates" is the best explanation of the military discipline of the guards.

A girls' school, the students are all young girls, I'm afraid that even if they are fine, they may be targeted by the guards, and they will be forced to "help" without help.

Therefore, when Gao Pragmatic was serving as the deputy military envoy of the Liaodong Yuan Ma Siqing and Jin Fuhaigai in southern Liaoning, he ordered the establishment of the "Tussah Female Workers Battalion" in the name of the military and the yamen, and he came up with a very shocking security means.

According to his regulations, the Bingxian Yamen was responsible for the safety and security of the Tussah Women's Workers' Battalion, ensuring that only women were in the battalion, and that not only the special guards were not allowed to enter, but even Gao Bingxian himself at that time was not allowed to enter without the request of the female workers' battalion supervisor, workshop director and other corresponding persons.

In addition, any male who is allowed to enter the women's camp must always be under the supervision of the female workers' guards dispatched by the women's labor camp, and must not run around at will, and violators will be severely punished. The punishment ranged from twenty lashes to beheading. There is even a unique punishment called "killing eyes" - gouging out both eyes. [Note: See Chapter 152 of this volume, "One Small Step, One Big Step."] ]

All these kinds of regulations are not only out of concern for the status quo of this era, but also a kind of forced declaration, otherwise it is easy to be criticized. Besides, if something really happened, Gao Pragmatic also felt that he was sorry for the women who were killed, so he could only think about it in advance and be serious.

Fortunately, there was no pastoral women's right at this time, and he would not say that he was discriminatory against women because of such "special care", in fact, after Gao Bingxian's policy at that time was introduced, the female workers were very grateful to him.

Gao Pragmatic explained these situations to Princess Yongning, including the relevant situation of the Tussah Women's Worker Camp, and he also told her.

Princess Yongning was very happy after hearing this, and thought that this arrangement was very reasonable, and said that it would be good to build this school in Liaoyang, which was a pilot, and if it was implemented properly, she would consider continuing to build it elsewhere in the future.

In addition to the "basic disciplines" such as female red, the women's school in Liaodong can focus on the part of the silk industry that is suitable for women to study, so that they will not have to worry about their livelihood in the future. In the future, the promotion of the women's school should also be arranged according to the local situation, which can be investigated slowly and without worry.

The word "pilot" has become more and more common since Gao Pragmatic appeared in Daming. From the beginning of the high arch era, various "pilots" were often launched, and now even people like Princess Yongning know that whenever there are new measures, it is best to "pilot" first.

Even if this matter was settled first, Princess Yongning expressed her interest in Gao Pragmatic's Annan and Dingbei Wars, and she had to tell her the first-hand situation.

Gao Pragmatic actually felt in his heart that it was really meaningless to tell these things to a widowed princess in the palace, but although the princess had no power, his status was there, and he couldn't refuse, so he could only be ordered to tell stories.

According to Princess Yongning, she used to have to retell these "stories" to her emperor's brother, but now that the emperor has taken charge of his own government, he is getting busier and busier, and he has no chance to tell her again. Since it happens to be today, it is obviously more interesting to listen to the person's own account.

In fact, the real "war story" is not the main point, but the focus is behind the scenes, which are the two battles in which "politics is greater than military". To be pragmatic, it will naturally not be the style of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and it will be "killing a general in the oblique stab" at every turn, but detailing his thoughts before making every decision, focusing on "why this is so".

It may be the first time that Princess Yongning has heard this kind of analysis of the enemy's mind clearly, but she has told her own account of the battle experience almost the whole time, "Oh...... I see", after listening to it, he admired Gao Pragmatic so much that he threw himself to the ground, and said excitedly: "It is rumored that the high school Cheng is both civil and military, personally beheaded Zheng Song, and captured Xin Ai in three moves, it turns out that this is not the case at all!" However, I think that you are more powerful than doing it yourself, and it is really worthy of my Ming Dynasty's 'two hundred years of true leader', the emperor's sentence is really reasonable. ”

Gao was a little stunned: "How could there be rumors that I personally killed Zheng Song and captured Xin Ai?" That's a ...... It's outrageous. ”

Princess Yongning saw that his face was full of astonishment, and couldn't help but smile and said: "How do I know, the tea doctors of Jingshi can talk about high school as if you were a star monarch." ”

Gao pragmatic can only smile bitterly.

He saw that the hour was not early, and he was afraid that Her Royal Highness, the widowed and lonely eldest princess, would find some reason to delay his time, so he got up and took his leave.

Princess Yongning really looked a little unsatisfied, but Gao Pragmatic had already resigned, and she was not good at forcing her to stay, so she only said that it would be troublesome for Gao Cheng to check it after she went back, and see how much money she had put in Jinghua before, whether it was enough to run a school, and if it was not enough, she could think of a way again.

Gao Shishi really doesn't know about this now, I don't know how much her charity fund is now, and I don't know how much it costs to run a women's school in Liaoyang, so I have to go back and calculate it slowly, so I didn't say much, but I just promised to go back and send someone to understand and calculate, and I will return when I understand it.

It was getting late when I left the palace, and the palace guards had even begun to prepare to lock it. Gao Shishi saw that it was already this hour, and it was a little too late to see Xinzhai, so he simply went to his residence by Shichahai. In fact, this mansion is his official residence in Beijing, with a plaque of Gaofu hanging outside, and the area inside is not small, no worse than Zhang Juzheng's Zhang University Scholar's Mansion back then.

When I returned to the house, it was another meal, but there was no need to say more about eating in my own house, just explain.

But before the food was served, Gao Mo came first.

Gao Mo usually lives here, and the headquarters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Jinghua is actually here, which fully proves that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the East Factory of Jinghua.

Gao Molai reported on the situation in the south and handed Gao a letter to him.

Gao pragmatic opened the letter, and inside was a long letter, six or seven pages of densely written.

"The expeditionary fleet first fought a small battle with the Spanish treasure fleet, and then actually joined forces to bully the Portuguese, forcing the Portuguese governor of Malacca to allow them to stop in Malacca to replenish their ...... The Portuguese were also invited to visit their 'combined fleet'? ”

Gao Shishi couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, shook his head and said: "If I were the governor of Malacca, I was afraid that I would have to write to Philip II immediately, everyone is a courtier of the same king, how can you Castilian elbow out?" ”

Since Gao Mo is also the head of intelligence, of course he is quite clear about these grievances within the Spanish Portuguese Empire, and he chuckled lightly when he heard this, and said: "It's just that the same bed has different dreams, although Philip II can't be said to be incorrect in Portugal, there are indeed many opponents. Especially the Portuguese colonists in the mouth of these old men, they only want to take advantage of Spain, relying on this big tree, but they are unwilling to give up some of their interests, how can the Spanish fleet give them a good face? Without a few shots on Malacca, it was already considered to be a face for His Majesty Philip II. ”

Gao pragmatically smiled and said: "No matter what, the ending is finally good, with the attitude of the Spaniards, the Portuguese side should most likely not dare to have any bad ideas about the return of the expeditionary fleet." ”

Gao Mo also thought so, but out of duty, he still reminded: "Please also note that the letter mentioned that the Portuguese are not interested in Myanmar, not only have some colonists already targeted Myanmar, such as the guy named De, but the scale of the Portuguese mercenaries in Myanmar is far larger than we estimated before." ”

Gao pragmatic nodded and said, "The number of Portuguese mercenaries in Myanmar is more than 1,000, which is indeed far beyond my expectations...... As far as I know, the Spanish had only 600 to 800 regular soldiers left in Luzon. ”

This is a fact, Spain's Philippine Governor's Office really relies on those 600 to 800 people to maintain its rule, of course, this only counts the army, not the navy's fleet. But even so, it is enough to show that the cost of maintaining colonial rule by Western colonizers is actually relatively low, because if you compare it, you can see that the highly pragmatic development of a Taiwan that is almost a "terra nullius" is not only the use of this people.

Of course, the development speed and dominance mode of the two sides are not comparable. The Spaniards only ruled in the Philippines, and were not even interested in "colonization", and there was no immigration plan at all, they just stood on the head of those tribal kings, and regarded themselves as conquerors, who only needed to rule.

As long as the local natives do not jump out and get in the way, Gao pragmatic will not be too lazy to take care of it, and even if he wants to take care of it, it is not now.

This also leads to one of the biggest differences, and that is the ruling population.

Forty years have passed since R. López de Villalobo arrived in Luzon in 1543 and named the place the Philippines after Philip (later Philip II), then Crown Prince of Castile.

In 1565, Legashi led his army to occupy the Philippine island of Cebu, and this was the beginning of the Spanish conquest of the Philippines. It was not until the occupation of Manila in 1571 and the subsequent occupation of most of the Philippines that colonial rule was established.

In fact, the Spaniards had not yet fully occupied and ruled the entire Philippines, and could only be regarded as "claiming the whole territory", and the Castilian people living in the Philippines were less than 3,000 in total - including the 800 soldiers.

There weren't even as many of them as the sailors on the Treasure Fleet.

In Taiwan, Gao Pragmatism is a different style. After the collapse of the Fujian Sea Pirate Alliance, in just two years or so, Gao pragmatic immigrated more than 50,000 people to Taiwan through Jinghua!

Geographically speaking, Tainan, Taichung, and Taipei are in full bloom in three aspects, at the beginning, the Tainan area with the best geography and surrounding environment has the largest number of people, and the hometown of "Xiaogang" is near Taichung, followed by Taipei, and the development of Taipei is slower.

Later, Gao pragmatic began to prepare for war, and regarded Taiwan's sulfur mines as Japan's sulfur reserves, so he increased the immigration to Taipei, and the number of immigrants gradually caught up, surpassing Taichung, almost chasing the south of Taiwan, reaching a population of 20,000.

20,000 people are not in the hinterland - when the high-level pragmatic candidates were in the year, the refugees who fled from Shandong to Henan alone were at least hundreds of thousands, and even if they couldn't make more than one million, they couldn't count a real number anyway, but there were a lot of them.

However, this has to be compared, the population of Daming and the Philippines are not the same thing at all, and the scale of Daming's city is far from being comparable to that of the Philippines.

Today, Manila is home to the Governor General of the Philippines, with just over 30,000 people in the city. And even so, it was quite good in the eyes of the Spaniards, because at this time in Europe, even in the developed Milan area, its urban population was only about 50,000 people.

A city of 50,000 people is counted as a yarn in Daming? Suzhou has a population of more than one million, and there are at least two or three hundred thousand urban residents alone.

Of course, Suzhou is rich and powerful in the world, and it seems a bit of a victory to compare it, but even in Xinzheng County, the hometown of Gao Pragmatism, there are more than 20,000 people in the county.

So looking at it this way, it can also be said that Gao Pragmatic spent two years to create two middle counties and one lower county in Taiwan through simple immigration means.

And the key thing is that he did not do this on behalf of the national power, but only relied on Jinghua, to be precise, Jinghua Quanzhou Port and the corresponding fleet to do this.

Ye Xianggao and Li Tingji told Gao Pragmatic that there were rumors of human trafficking in Jinghua among the people of Fujian, and the source was also this - of course, it was stigmatized, and the specific situation is still under investigation.

"Zhiting is doing a good job." "I had only told her that the interests of Spain and Portugal were in conflict and that it was not easy to reconcile, but I did not clearly tell her what to do. I think she's handling it pretty well now, but it's a little troublesome that she promised me......"

He pondered for a moment and said, "Prepare pen and paper, I will first write a letter to Zhang Zhijun to learn about the situation in Macao and see if I can transfer it to the Spaniards." ”
