Chapter 571: Choice of Strategic Direction
Xia Nan chuckled in his heart, went south to the south of the Yangtze River to Japan, and was so busy that he forgot that he still had a concubine to pay. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info At this time, I heard Xie Wenjun suddenly mention Dong Mingjue, Xia Nan became vigilant, which one is this singing?
If it was before, in the face of this question, Xia Nan would probably answer calmly that taking a concubine is his own private matter, and there is no need for outsiders to worry about it. But today is different from the past, Xie Wenjun's political literacy and overall situation, as well as the two connections between her uncle and father, are all needed by Xia Nan, and this official lady who seemed proud and willful in the past has suddenly become important in his heart. Now that she has the intention of marrying, she can't be easily angered, even if this concubine who hasn't passed the door is her best friend.
He looked at Mu Tianyan pleadingly, and asked with his eyes: Futai, how should I answer, do I admit or deny?
The story that Xia Nan and the female shopkeeper of Qian Zhuang had to say, Mu Tianyan had also heard of it, and besides, Dong Mingjue's nominal father Gao Hongtu was the one he and Xia Nan joined forces to bring about the collapse, and the ins and outs were clear. Seeing Xia Nan asking for help, he coughed, gave a look of "you look at it yourself, I can't help you", and then looked up to study the beams on the roof.
Xia Nan was helpless, turned his head to look at Xie Wenjun, and replied hesitantly: "It's just a misunderstanding, I didn't say that I wanted to bring Dong Mingjun back to Lingao ......" In his opinion, the connections behind Xie Wenjun are very important, and Xie Wenjun's own political literacy is also outstanding, if you need to marry to envelop her and her father and uncle, then Dong Mingjun can give up - it was just a drunken accident, and it wasn't that she didn't marry, so it's a big deal to give more compensation.
When Xie Wenjun heard this, his willow eyebrows were raised, and he said dissatisfiedly: "The market is full of rumors, saying that she is your General Xia's woman, whether this rumor is deliberately spread by you or someone else, she can't get married anyway." And she told me personally, you want to take her as a concubine, and said that she would pass the door in a few days, and now it's half a year younger, are you planning to abandon it from the beginning? ”
Xia Nan was dumbfounded, feeling that this is the rhythm of forcing himself to take a concubine? He carefully observed Xie Wenjun's expression and made sure that she was not talking back or being tempted, so he said cautiously: "This, I just said that if I don't bring it back to Lingao, she can stay in Guangzhou after passing the door, and Qian Zhuang will not be able to do without her." ”
Xie Wenjun's expression changed from anger to joy, "That's okay." ”
Xia Nan couldn't help but ask: "Miss Xie, let me ask more, when you bumped into me and Dong Mingjue together, it wasn't this attitude, why did you ...... today?"
Xie Wenjun's face flushed, she naturally wouldn't say that her 180° transformation was because her aunt instilled in her a lot of backhouse favors, and repeatedly warned her that if she married a man with great ability, three wives and four concubines could not be avoided, then she had to find allies and form an offensive and defensive alliance, otherwise she would be alone and alone, even if she was an eldest woman, she would be bullied. Since Dong Mingjue is already like Xia Nan, the door to enter Xia's house is a sure thing, it is better to help him get on the horse and give him a ride, take precautions, and support a future ally - is there a more reliable ally than a girlfriend?
Thinking of this, Xie Wenjun's face turned even redder, Xia Nan didn't say anything, he was actually thinking about how to marry into the Xia family, and he thought about it so long-term, he was really ashamed, is this still the arrogant and ruthless self in the past?
She felt a little embarrassed, and threw down a sentence, "You can do this yourself." Then he turned and walked out of the room.
Xia Nan breathed a sigh of relief and finally sent the eldest lady away. turned around and said goodbye to Mu Tianyan, and then walked out of the governor's yamen.
Back in Lingao, Xia Nan called a meeting of everyone. Going north is a strategic issue, and he must be cautious, put forward the general direction by himself, and need others to improve him.
After the people arrived, Xia Nan briefly introduced the conversation at the governor's yamen and came to a conclusion: "As long as there is a suitable reason, we will send troops to Shandong." Shandong has the population we need, and it can also be a springboard for us to go north, and this sub-base must be won. ”
Originally, I thought that this was a united, harmonious, pioneering and forging ahead meeting, no one would have doubts about the direction of the leader, everyone closely rallied around the team with General Xia as the core, and worked together to achieve the hegemony of the Qiongzhou battalion. Xia Nan's original intention was just to let everyone pick up the gaps for themselves, and at the same time clarify everyone's tasks and missions, and I didn't think to discuss with everyone whether they needed to go north.
Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the meeting, Lin Weiye, the second leader who never interfered in the political direction, jumped out and raised his own questions: "You told me a long time ago that you wanted to meddle in Shandong, but I still can't understand a few questions. Now that we have expelled the Dutch and Spaniards, established customs in Tainan, and have the foundation to run Taiwan, Taiwan's resources and land will take time to digest, why not run Taiwan well and rush north? As our base camp, Qiongzhou Mansion is not completely controlled, the remote prefectures and counties are not under our control, and the deep area of Wuzhi Mountain is still the world of Shengli, why not talk about other things after completely controlling this big rear? If it's just because of the lack of local population in Qiongzhou, why not find a way to cross half of China to Shandong to pull people? Is there no one in Guangdong? There are also wolf soldiers in Guangxi, but they are a good resource for mountain infantry, if you want to expand the army, wolf soldiers are also a good choice, and even the local Li people can also be incorporated into the mountain infantry, wouldn't it be a waste to put it away! ”
As soon as Lin Weiye's tirade came out, not only others were surprised, but Xia Nan was even more surprised. He asked curiously: "Lao Lin, do you want to usurp the throne and seize power, or do you plan to set up your own door?" I've never seen you express your opinion on these issues, right? As soon as you came up today, you scolded me like this. ”
Lin Weiye waved his hand again and again: "I don't mean that, you are the only leader, but it doesn't mean that you are always right, I don't want to be Lin Biao, but I can be Peng Dehuai!" I felt that the rear was not completely stable, so I was in a hurry to open up a sub-base in the north, and the steps were too big to pull the egg. In his impression, stabilizing the main base, and then slowly pushing flat, is the safest, playing strategy games like the Three Kingdoms, isn't that what you do? Jumping from Guangdong to Shandong, the military flag became checkers, and he always felt a little aggressive.
Xia Nan didn't answer directly, but asked everyone: "What Lao Lin said is not unreasonable, you can't say that he is wrong." What do you think? ”
Sun Yuanhua groaned: "The old man thinks that Brother Lin's words still have merit. Besides, I have been the governor of Denglai, Shandong is not far from the capital, not far from Liaodong, once the Tatars enter the customs, as long as they want, they can go deep into the hinterland of Shandong at any time. If you want to choose a place to operate outside of Qiongzhou, Shandong doesn't seem like a safe place. It is a safe choice to run Liangguang and Qiongzhou well, and then slowly figure it out. ”
