Chapter 901: Expanding the Territory

Xia Nan turned to Lin Weiye and said with a smile: "You, the chief soldier, have been in office for a few months and then gave way, no opinion, right?" ”

Lin Weiye waved his hand indifferently: "It was originally to catch ducks on the shelves, but now it is easy to land, how can you have any opinions." ”

"Hehe, you have a more important task when you return to Qiongzhou, and you can't be distracted by these trivial matters."

After appeasing Lin Weiye, Xia Nan said to Wei Lianheng: "As for you and the second regiment, you will go to Taiwan with Zhu Dadian." Although I gave him the title of Governor of Taiwan, this is just our internal name, and the imperial court will not admit it, and he does not have the power to shoulder the military and political power. The reclamation and management of immigrants, as well as civil disputes and lawsuits that may occur in the future, are all under the jurisdiction of Zhu Dadian, but the army is under your direct control. You have the right to select young and strong people from the immigrants, expand the army, and make a list of military supplies such as guns, ammunition, and military uniforms, which will be supplied by Qiongzhou......"

Wei Lianheng pressed the joy in his heart, compared with Su Thick Legs, there is more room for development in Taiwan, this is the work of expanding the territory! As for the guns and ammunition, they must be subject to the Qiongzhou base camp, which is also the proper meaning, the general as a qualified superior, this political wisdom is a must, Wei Lianheng thinks it is normal, there is no doubt, but Zhu Dadian has great power, and it is necessary to consider how to check and balance. He asked: "Dare to ask the general, if Zhu Dadian has different intentions, what should his subordinates do?" ”

Xia Nan replied without hesitation: "If you find that he has signs of self-reliance, or other signs that are unfavorable to the Qiong Navy, take action immediately, and it is up to you to kill him on the spot or capture him alive." Remember, you are the ultimate weapon I use to restrain him. I worked hard to run Taiwan, and I couldn't end up making wedding dresses for others. ”

Wei Lianheng also stood up and saluted, "Subordinates understand!" ”

Lin Weiye was a little unbearable: "Isn't your personal relationship with Zhu Dadian quite good?" Why do you have to guard him so much? ”

"Personal relationships are not to be confused with business. In fact, I also believe in him, since he promised me, with his shrewdness, he will never do such a stupid thing. However, politics cannot be about human feelings, it involves power and interests, and even brothers cannot believe it unconditionally. If something happens, I have to spend a lot of energy to solve it, it will disrupt my overall plan, and of course I can't pin everything on my personal conduct. ”

Xia Nan turned to Huang Hansheng and said, "Even the horizontal and thick legs are arranged outside, but Qiongzhou must be in charge of you." Not only will you have to ensure the safety of Lingao, but you will also be responsible for training new soldiers, and you will have a heavier burden than either of them, because Qiongzhou has the largest number of immigrants in existence, and in the future, if we try to migrate displaced people from the northwest, some will continue to flow into Qiongzhou. ”

Huang Hansheng stood up and saluted: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

Xia Nan pressed down and motioned for him to sit down: "In addition, you are also the vice principal of the Ma Yuan Army Military Academy, and the heavy responsibility of training middle-level officers must also be borne by you." The outstanding seedlings from Shandong and Taiwan will be sent back to Ma Yuan for training at that time, and only after passing the test can they return to the army to serve as officers. ”

Lin Weiye interjected: "Are you going to build Ma Yuan into our Whampoa Military Academy?" ”

"Why not?" Xia Nan replied with a smile, "Compared with the gap in equipment, the professional middle-level officer team created by receiving unified and systematic training has a strong sense of belonging and identity, and using them as the basis to control and command the army more effectively is the biggest advantage that distinguishes us from our opponents. ”

After explaining several heavyweight personnel arrangements, Xia Nan looked around and asked, "Who is the quartermaster sent by the Quartermaster Bureau this time?" ”

Lu Gengyu stood up: "General, it's me." ”

"It turned out to be Lao Lu!" Xia Nan asked kindly, "You are a dignified Qipinzhi County, let you do military quartermasters, and wronged you." Are there any difficulties? If so, I'll help you out. ”

Lu Gengyu shook his head: "I have long been no official, so there is no need to mention the past." I think what I am doing now is very meaningful, especially watching the general defeat the Tartars and save 100,000 people, and the thought that I have also contributed to it, I am indescribably happy. ”

"Hehe, that's good." Xia Nan said, "Now there is an important task entrusted to you: the immigrants from Taiwan are no better than those who go to Qiongzhou, they used to start from scratch and had nothing, and now it is too late to transport materials to and from Qiongzhou, and they can't let people go hungry and use their hands to plow the land." Before the ship from Tianjin docked in Shandong, you took people to buy grain, farm tools, and cattle in Shandong, and when the fleet arrived, they were transported to Taiwan along with the immigrants. Questions? ”

Lu Gengyu nodded: "Please rest assured, the general has no problem with the money, it has been seized in Changyi, Shandong and outside the capital, and the soft property robbed by the Tartars has been returned to us, which can be regarded as taking it from the people and using it for the people." However, the farm tools and cattle used by tens of thousands of people may not be able to meet the demand in Dengzhou......"

"You don't have to plough too many cattle, in the past, we were three people with one cow, but now we can lower the standard, ten people share one cow, and there is only the right to use, and the ownership belongs to the Governor of Taiwan's Yamen, so that only thousands of cattle can meet the demand. As for the farming tools and grain, if Dengzhou is not enough, go to Laizhou to buy it, and if Laizhou is not enough, go to Qingzhou, even if you buy it in Jinan, you have to make up the quantity. In order to ensure efficiency, let Su send local soldiers from Shandong to accompany you, we will not lower the price, do not engage in forced buying and selling, but no one is allowed to sit on the ground and raise prices, hoarding, this is military quartermaster, who dares to stumble, drag back, rifles and bayonets wait! ”

When Lu Gengyu heard this, he replied confidently: "Obey!" ”

Lin Weiye felt that he should also do something for this group, and took the initiative to ask Ying: "Since Taiwan's reclamation should be effective as soon as possible, we must not let the immigrants put too much energy on building houses and tiles, and after returning to Qiongzhou, I will send graduates from Baicaoyuan to Taiwan with craftsmen to build a few cement factories in the local area, help the immigrants build houses, and harden several major roads by the way, and build up the infrastructure." ”

Xia Nan Daxi: "This is the best, with your technical support, Taiwan's development will enter the fast lane." ”

Lin Weiye became interested, and then asked: "Do you need to open a textile factory and winery in Taiwan?" And what about arsenals, steel mills? Although Taiwan's coal and iron reserves are not abundant, and it is not a major cotton producing area, it should be no problem to supply tens of thousands of people, and if it is not possible, it can be transported from across the strait......
