Section 27 The Government of Bondage
Chi Zhou heard that Lin Jian had no intention of recruiting peace, but when he had murderous intentions, he didn't dare to resist, he was scared into a cold sweat, and just kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Lin Jian looked at Chi Zhou and Yan Baishan, who were kowtowing to the ground, and said, "The imperial court has not issued an explicit order, and it is not good for me to accept soldiers and horses outside without authorization; Even if the Saga clan temporarily ceded the three places, it could not be placed under the rule of the Huaidong Military Division, lest others say that I started a military provocation in Haidong and provoked trouble. In addition, there is still a shortage of naval forces in the Danluo Kingdom, so if you have the sincerity to embark on the right path from now on and not do the business of looting and harming the place, I can recommend you and others to the Lord of Danluo. In addition, I originally intended to temporarily hand over the three places to the supervision of the Danluo State......"
Hearing Lin Jian say this, Chi Zhou was stunned again.
Matsuura, Hirado, and Goto are relatively barren in the Goto, while Matsuura and Hirado are all good land, and farming and fishing are quite developed, and the territory is also large. He didn't understand, why did Lin Jian give the three places to Danluo?
In addition, they have 14,500 people on the South Five Islands, although their combat strength is not as good as the elite of the Jinghai Water Battalion, but they cannot be ignored in Haidong, and Lin Jian actually wants to integrate them into the Danluo Wang Army!
There is no naval army in Danluo State, if he recruits Danluo State, Danluo State can only use him to guard Songpu and other places.
Besides, the strength of the Danluo State is weak, and the total number of people in the United States is only 30,000 Dingkou, and the annexation to the Danluo State means that Chi Zhou has greater independence; It is not impossible to be anti-customer-oriented.
This condition is far better than directly recruiting the Huaidong Military Division, so good that Chi Zhou couldn't believe it for a while, and couldn't figure out whether there was a conspiracy behind it that he couldn't figure out for a while.
"It's rare to come here, use the banquet first, you and the prince of Danluo will contact you first, but go back and discuss and discuss, and I won't be late to reply in two days." Lin Jian said.
Chi Xuan didn't expect that there would be a chance to go back to discuss, so Xie Guoen stood up again. The banquet at night was rich, Chi Zhou thought about it, stayed in Songpu for one night, and when he left Songpu by boat for the second time, he was relieved, at least he didn't have to worry about people being detained in Songpu.
**************
Don't say that Chi Zhou and Yan Baishan don't understand, even Ge Cunxin, Zhou Pu, Lin Jingzhong and others don't understand: why do they want to hand over Songpu, Hirado, and Wudao to Danluo supervision, and also integrate Chi Guan's subordinates who are interested in accepting Zhao'an into Danluo Wang's army?
Li Ji, the prince of Danluo, was present, and Ge Cunxin, Zhou Pu, Lin Jingzhong and others were not convenient to say anything, and when Li Ji returned to the camp stationed in the Qianyuan area, Ge Cunxin, Lin Jingzhong and others took advantage of military affairs and stayed in the mansion without leaving immediately.
"The sum of Songpu, Hirado, and Goto is enough to reach one county in Chongzhou. When I was in Shengsi, I often heard Fu Ye often lament that Chongzhou was narrow and crowded, so that adults could not happily display their talents and ambitions. Now that you can get a county for nothing, why don't the adults take it themselves, but transfer it to the Danluo people to supervise? ”
Zhao Hu stayed on Danluo Island, commanded the main force of the infantry division, and was responsible for trapping Zhen Feng, the governor of Haiyang County of the Goryeo people, in Seogwipo City, and followed Lin Jian to Songpo, the commander of the army, led by Ge Cunxin and Zhou Pu.
Zhou Pu didn't care much about things other than military affairs, and Ge Cunxin couldn't hold back at first, and said the doubts in his heart.
Lin Jian didn't mind the generals below coming to question his decision.
Lin Jian hopes that more generals and officials who can stand alone in the Huaidong Military Division will emerge, and they must learn to stand at a higher level and consider these issues, rather than mechanically execute orders.
Lin Jian waved his hand and asked the guards under the hall to withdraw, leaving only Zhou Pu, Lin Jingzhong, Ge Cunxin, Song Jia and other four people to stay and speak.
"It's not that I don't want to occupy Matsuura, Hirado, and Goto, but now is not the right time," Hayashi picked up the flask, poured himself a glass of wine, and said, "First, the Saga clan will not be willing to cut these three places, and second, in the eyes of the Fuso feudal states, we are aliens after all. If Huaidong directly takes these three places, even if he ignores the hostility of the Fusang vassal states, he will have to move in at least 350,000 Ding Zhuang and spend three or five years on business before he can truly and effectively control these three places......"
"Then move 350,000 Ding Zhuang here. Chongzhou is short of others, but there is no shortage of people. Aren't there hundreds of thousands of floating people in the two provinces of Huaidong? Ge Cunxin said, "The adults moved here." If it really doesn't work, you can also move those exiled prisoners who dragged their families to settle first. ”
"You don't belong to the family, I don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are," Lin Jian smiled, "Do you think it's a pity that we give up these three places temporarily, if I really occupy these three places directly, Lin Mengde will be the first to turn his face with me and pick with me!" You ask Lin Jingzhong, how much silver did we put into Xisha Island in less than three years? ”
"It takes four taels of silver to reclaim one acre of mature land," Lin Jingzhong said, "Xisha Island has reclaimed a total of 150,000 mu of various fertile fields at this time, and about 600,000 taels of silver have been invested." ”
"So tall?" Ge Cunxin asked in surprise, "I remember that the final investment doesn't seem to be so high!" ”
"Taking warships to dig up island manure and manure, organizing people to dig canals and ditches, planting windbreaks, building sea dikes, fixing sand, etc., are not included in the cost of reclamation, so it seems that the cost of silver is not so terrible," Lin Jingzhong explained, "It is precisely these things that are done in a concentrated manner, and it is precisely the adults who organize them in a good way, otherwise it will be more difficult to imagine the consumption of silver." If it were easy, Xisha Island would not have been able to leave this benefit to us for more than 200 years...... In Songpu, Hirado and other places, there are quite a lot of barren beaches, and it will not be too difficult to reclaim more than 100,000 or 200,000 acres of fertile land. However, even if we do not consider the hostility of the peripheral Fuso feudal states, the resistance and resistance of the local natives and the cost of garrisoning them are all to be considered. The final cost is not surprising to double or triple the cost! ”
Ge Cunxin was stunned, what he was concerned about was mainly limited to the military expenditure of the Jinghai Second Water Battalion, and he did not care much about civil and financial affairs, let alone the cost of directly controlling Songpu, Hirado, and Goto.
"The most urgent thing for us at present is to take profits from Haidong to raise the army, not to increase the financial pressure on Chongzhou with uncontrolled expansion," Lin Jian said with a smile, "Since we are not under direct control for the time being, there is no substantive difference between whether these three places are nominally under the supervision of the Huaidong Military Department or under the supervision of the Danluo State." But for the Fuso feudal kingdoms, the feeling is different......"
Ge Cunxin and the others sat in the hall, pondering the differences.
Lin Jian continued: "...... Over the past 200 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, our dynasty has regarded the alien lands far away from the Central Plains as remote wilderness, where the people are barbaric and not easy to civilize. Bondage, that is, close control also. The Saga clan must be held accountable for the assassination, and if no one is held accountable for this, the Huaidong Army will have no prestige in Haidong. Huaidong's collection of Matsuura, Hirado, and Goto was considered a punishment for the Saga clan. Giving the three lands to Danluo for management is to implement the policy of restraint, so as to show that Huaidong has no intention of taking land and occupying Haidong forever......"
“…… The core of the government of fetters is to control the government by razing, and the Saga clan will not be uninformed," Hayashi said, "The Dan people can become the core of Huaidong's implementation of the policy of fetters in the Haidong region, at least in the eyes of the Saga clan, the Dan people are Huaidong's only allies in the Haidong region at present. The Danra country was weak and did not have the strength to control Matsuura, Hirado, and Goto, and in the eyes of the Saga clan, as long as they could gain the trust of Huaidong, there was no hope of taking them back. Even further, it is not impossible to replace the Danluo people and become the core allies of Huaidong in the implementation of the feudal government in the Haidong region......"
"Then the Saga clan really let go of the antagonistic mind and fully cooperated with Huaidong, don't these three places want to be returned to the Saga clan?" Ge Cunxin asked.
This time, he was able to cut Matsuura, Hirado and Goto, which was also an unexpected gain for Hayashi. If the Yuan clan's qi is not exhausted, these three places plus Jeju Sai are the best way for the people of Huaidong to retreat, how can Lin Tie easily return it to the Saga clan?
At this time, Lin Jian could basically confirm that Qin Zitan and others were making trouble behind the scenes, planning this "lame" assassination, and secretly said in his heart: Qin Zitan will never be able to guess what is going on here, and probably thought that Huaidong would regard these three places as hot potatoes?
Thinking of this, Lin Jian smiled slightly and replied to Ge Cunxin's question: "When the time comes, it depends on the situation, it's a big deal to take land from other places and double the compensation to the Saga clan!" ”
"There are more than 1,000 soldiers under Chi Guan's command, and the power is not weak, so it is a pity not to merge into the Jinghai Sea Camp; Moreover, if Chi Zhou is incorporated into the Danluo Wang Army, the Danluo people's control over him is also very limited, I am afraid that his mind will not be stable! Ge Cunxin said again.
"In the past two years, Huaidong still has to control the scale of military expansion," Lin Jian said, "In addition, Songpu, Hirado, and Wudao will be handed over to the Danluo people to supervise, and I will use Chi Zhou to guard these three places, and I will not be able to integrate Chi Zhou into the Danluo Wang Army!" Chi Zhou really won't be easily subdued, so it's better to let him be independent. Chi Xuan's mind is unstable, so that the Saga clan sees the possibility of wooing him, and using him to guard Matsuura, Hirado, and Goto can not make the Saga clan more at ease? ”
"Your Excellency wants to use Chi Xuan to balance the relationship between the Saga clan and the Danra people?" Ge Cunxin asked.
"Well, if there is no tacit understanding with the Saga clan, how can Chi Zhou occupy the southern five islands for more than ten years without moving?" Lin Jian said, "In addition, if Chi Guan's troops are incorporated into the Danluo Wang's army, we will give him warships and armor, so that we can be cheeky and count more silver......
"That's right, Chi Zhou has been a Haikou for most of his life, and in the past ten years, he has not suffered any big losses, and he wants to save a lot. We can't rob him openly, sell him warships and armor, I think he won't refuse! Ge Cunxin said with a smile.
The Fuso Islands are surrounded by the sea, but the construction technology of sea ships lags behind that of the Central Plains. This is also related to the fact that the attention of the vassal forces of Fuso is mainly focused on the local area; Without the awareness of the open sea, without the need for this aspect, there will be no motivation to develop the technology of ocean-going vessels. Lin Jian set his sights on the ocean from the beginning, and under his promotion, Chongzhou inherited the shipbuilding technology from the Longjiang Shipyard and surpassed the Longjiang Shipyard. It is Jin'an's shipbuilding technology, which has also made great progress in recent years.
Although some of these pirates are large enough to have thousands of soldiers, most of them do not have the strength to build ships. They had to replenish a large number of sea vessels every year, and most of them were secretly purchased from the Goryeo or Fusang vassal states, except for the plunder, but it was not easy to obtain large, high-quality sea vessels.
With Ge Cunxin, Zhou Pu and others there, Song Jia sat there quietly, silently, listening to Lin Lian's conversation with everyone, but he was not worried that Chi Xuan would not come to vote. Indeed, surrendering to the Danluo State, leading an army alone, and guarding Matsuura, Hirado, and Goto on behalf of the three places, such favorable conditions, Chi Zhou would refuse if he had a problem with his brain.
