Chapter 217 Preparation
Feng Zhiji took a reassuring pill from Cheng Hong and felt a little relieved, so he asked about the ship!
Cheng Hong gave Feng Zhiji answers one by one, and said that he would take him to visit the shipyard tomorrow, you must know that the shipyard is not one or two now, guided by Cheng Zhou, dozens of ships will be built together!
And Cheng Zhou is building a three-story ship with a length of 25 zhang! If it is created, it is worthy of the level of ocean overlord!
Coupled with the bronze collision angle in front, it is estimated that the average boat does not need any crossbows, just hit it directly and crush it!
When Feng Ang and Feng Zhiji finished visiting the shipyard and the sugar factory, they were very happy, and it could be seen that Cheng Hong was not a fool! This thing is a real technology!
Whether it is a shipyard, a sugar factory, or a salt factory, this is not inherited by the Cheng Yanjin family, it seems that this Cheng Hong is really material!
Feng Ang was full of emotion after reading it! In the end, he shook his head, be cautious, take a look first, Lingnan's own ancestors passed down, even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance, it can't be defeated in his own hands!
Lingnan doesn't need to be icing on the cake or enterprising! It's best not to advance or retreat! Let's wait for Cheng Hong and the Jiangnan Shi clan to have a fight!
At most, I will stay for a while, so that Cheng Hong is a little prepared!
Although Cheng Hong didn't take the Jiangnan Shi clan seriously, Feng An's favor must be remembered! It can be said that Cheng Hong is now relying on the 5,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, plus Ashina's cavalry, and he can push the Jiangnan Shi clan!
It's just that in this case, Cheng Hong will basically do it! Because whether it is the emperor or the family, a person who does not understand the rules is never allowed to enter the game!
Okay, it's reasonable here, you're just playing hooligan? It will definitely be attacked by a crowd!
And Feng Ang is in Lingnan, and he looks like Bao Chenghong, your Jiangnan Shi clan is the head snake of the land, and my Lingnan Feng family is also a landlord, who is afraid of whom?
So the four surnames of Jiangnan just handled this matter coldly. You see that Cheng Hong of Jiangnan Dongdao walked around, but when he built Quanzhou City, who else came besides the locals of Quanzhou?
The Shanyue people who were captured by Cheng Hong, the Western Turks sent by Chang'an, and no one from the neighboring cities on the left and right came at all!
You must know that Cheng Hong is now the governor of Jiangnan Dongdao, and he is still leading the post of governor envoy, but he can't even get out of Quanzhou City when he speaks! You can imagine the power of the Jiangnan Shi clan in Jiangnan Dongdao!
Cheng Hong could only hold his breath, the paperwork for receiving the ship's materials had been down for a long time, but except for Lingnan, Cheng Hong didn't even have a single ship's materials!
Cheng Hong has not been happy with the Jiangnan Shi clan for a long time, but you can't find an excuse to clean him up! It's all two-sided!
Feng Ang did help Cheng Hong a lot at the beginning, but Cheng Hong now wants to find an excuse to have a good fight with the Jiangnan Shi clan, and Feng Ang also saw it, so he decided to take this opportunity to go to Chang'an! This group of people doesn't stretch their heads even if they want to fight, they don't have to fight!
So this time, Feng Ang leaked the news that he was going to Chang'an in the near future to Cheng Hong, and also let Cheng Hong have a preparation, you have to be ready for any moves, don't catch blind when the time comes!
Cheng Hong also understood, and the next day Cheng Hong invited Ashina to a banquet: "Great Khan, can you get used to living recently?"
"I'm used to it, I'm used to it, but I don't have anything to do, it's a little monotonous!"
Cheng Hong shook his head: "Great Khan, are those sergeants of yours okay?"
Ashina mud: "There are still sergeants, they are all on the construction site!" Now the people are busy earning gold! ”
Cheng Hong sighed: "Great Khan, don't blame me for not reminding you, when your sergeant is used to holding a shovel and pickaxe, can he still pick up a sword?" When Sanmi Mountain returns to the hands of the Great Khan, will the Great Khan still be able to control Sanmi Mountain? ”
Ashina thought for a while, broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately got up!
Cheng Hong grabbed Ashina: "Why did the Great Khan go?"
"I'm going to call the sergeants for training!"
"How do you talk to the sergeant?"
"I, I, I'm ......" Ashina sat down dejectedly: "How is it good, how is it good!"
Cheng Hong shook his head: "Great Khan, I have a plan here, I don't know if I should talk about it or not!"
Ashina raised his head: "I don't know what Manager Cheng taught me?"
Cheng Hong said: "If the Great Khan believes me, let's first hire 5,000 soldiers and horses from your clan in the name of mercenary!"
Since we belong to the south of the Yangtze River here, the water network is dense, and it is different from the Western Turkic warfare method, so we have to gather together to train first, I don't know what the Great Khan will do?
Of course, this salary must be more than the money you paid to build a city! It's just that this mercenary will inevitably have some casualties, and the Great Khan must be mentally prepared! ”
Ashina was overjoyed: "Okay, okay!" As long as Manager Cheng can preserve the bloodiness of my clan, the Ashina clan has never been afraid of life and death! ”
Cheng Hong clapped his hands: "Okay, I have the bottom of my heart when I have the sentence of Great Khan!" But this country has national laws, and the family has family rules, and when you enter the land of Datang, you have to listen to the rules of Datang.
In addition, this tactic is different, the official sent 500 guards to help the Great Khan train 5,000 elite soldiers, and asked the Great Khan to help restrain his subordinates when the time comes! ”
Ashina nodded hurriedly: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I heard that Mr. Cheng has skills in military training, and whoever dares to disobey at that time will be killed directly!"
Affair! It's done!
Cheng Hong secretly said in his heart: Hehe, as long as you agree, are you afraid that you can jump out? When the time comes, the soldiers of your Ashina clan will shout the slogan of Datang Wansheng, will it be your Ashina's soldiers or the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty?
But when conscripting, something happened that made Cheng Hong laugh! When yesterday I was still moving bricks with you, the stone masonry turned into mercenaries, and these Shanyue people were unbalanced!
And most of the people who don't do a good job are those who are unruly, this kind of people are good soldiers when they are soldiers, but they have to be thin to be people, hehe!
Seven of them are not convinced and eight are not angry, do you expect him to build a good wall? Forget it, at most you will be stone-thrown!
And after hearing that mercenaries earn more than wall-building people, my heart is even more unbalanced.
One by one, they began to look for Tandian: "Why can they be soldiers, but we can't?" Didn't you say that we are all people of Datang? Didn't you say that Shanyue Datang was a family? Why can't outsiders be soldiers? ”
This Tan Dian really couldn't stand the complaints, and ran from the shipyard to the City Lord's Mansion and Cheng Hong to vomit bitterness!
Cheng Hong looked at Tan Dian's peeking look, as if he was worried!
Also, you just surrendered, and you are going to be a soldier, what do you want to do?
Cheng Hong heard it, it's a good thing! Otherwise, Cheng Hong is still worried, why not let the Turkic family dominate! This happens to be controlled by the Shanyue people, saving the tail from happening!
Cheng Hong issued another order: Whether it is a Shanyue person or a Han person, as long as they want to be a soldier, they can go to the recruitment office to sign up, and as long as they meet the conditions, they can become a sergeant in the Tang Dynasty, eat imperial food and get military salary!
Now Quanzhou City is completely lively, and the warriors of all tribes in the Shanyue people have come to sign up! However, few locals in Quanzhou have signed up!
Also, now the local people in Quanzhou are at least an intermediate craftsman, earning more than Wu Changdu, who will be a soldier? In addition, being a soldier yourself does not necessarily mean becoming a military commander!
In their words: "A fool threw away the salary of a middle-level craftsman to become a soldier!"
Cheng Hong smiled and didn't say anything! When you know the benefits of being a soldier, you should regret it! Don't rush, let's take our time!
