Chapter 720 High Risk High Reward


In the morning, Lin Wushuang rubbed his sleepy eyes and got up from the bed.

Qian Ningji is no longer in the house, every morning, guarded by the maid, walking a few laps in the backyard, this is Su Su's suggestion, although Lin Wushuang invited to take care of Qian Ningji's big-footed mother-in-law has some complaints about this suggestion, but whether it is Su Su or Lin Wushuang, they will not listen to their opinions, in their opinion, it is better for pregnant women to stay in the house all day to recuperate, which is obviously unscientific.

Qian Ningji's belly has not changed very much, but, like all men who are new fathers, Lin Wushuang is very protective of her and the child in his belly, but what kind of person is Miss Qian, at first she felt very happy to enjoy the care of her husband, but after a long time, even Lin Wushuang left his "foundation" and stayed by her side all day, she felt a little unbearable, especially now that she is troubled, as the master of Changnan, if she ignores official duties all day because of herself, This made her feel like a gentle village hero, who had worn out all her husband's ambitions and was obsessed with women all day long.

Therefore, Lin Wushuang must handle official affairs well now, at least, as the leader of a force, he must have the posture and responsibility of a leader.

After washing up and having breakfast with Qian Ningji, who came back from walking in circles, Lin Wushuang left the backyard and came to his study.

As the civil affairs yamen and the military and political yamen that have been on track, in fact, even if there is no command from Lin Wushuang, under the command of Lin Xiaohong and Su Su, it will operate effectively, but no matter what, the documents, reports, and even requests for instructions that should be there will still be a lot of them sent to Lin Wushuang, although there are not many things that need Lin Wushuang's instructions, Lin Wushuang has basically delegated most of the rights to these two yamen.

Su Su's things, there is nothing worth seeing, Lin Wushuang picked up a few documents from the desk, they were all from the military and political yamen, and the documents had already visited his desk in order of priority, he didn't have to look for them, just check and review them in order from top to bottom.

First of all, the summary of the military situation in recent days, the Qingfeng battalion has stopped advancing in accordance with the orders of the military and political yamen, this rash advance, and achieved unexpected results, which is not expected by everyone, originally thought that it would encounter fierce resistance from the Ruan Dynasty, and even prepared to fight a war, but the Ruan Dynasty did not do this, but retreated in great strides, at most symbolic resistance.

According to the area occupied by the Qingfeng Battalion now, this is another successful expansion in addition to occupying Beiguang Mansion, the Ruan Dynasty army retreated in great strides, and almost gave up a place in the province, if the Qingfeng Battalion can maintain this advantage at the moment, then according to the land area of the Ruan Dynasty, a quarter of the land has fallen on the territory of the Qingfeng Battalion, which is good news and bad news.

The order of the civil affairs yamen to the army was to stop the advance and be on guard on the spot.

However, in the documents sent, it was very clear that they were worried about the next move, if they defended on the spot, even if it was based on the city abandoned by the Nguyen Dynasty army, it would require a lot of manpower and force, and the army could not participate in it, and they must always be on high alert, ready to deal with the enemy's counterattack, in the current environment, it is obviously not a good idea, Chang Nam is now short of manpower everywhere, even if it is a large influx of immigrants, But it was all fixed in the land that was bought by the magnates in Beijing or the Guangping merchant group, and the Qingfeng camp had to be manpowered, so it might not be able to be requisitioned from these immigrants.

What's worse is that the Nguyen Dynasty army retreated on its own initiative, and the young and strong people in these places were basically coerced away, and it was almost impossible to expect to recruit people from the local young and strong people.

This expansion is too early, maybe a few months and a half a year late, the manpower will be freed up, and the army will be expanded, but now, Changnan may not really be able to digest these occupied city land.

Therefore, the advice of the military and political yamen was to be on guard on the spot, and then the army slowly retreated to the starting point, that is, the three cities of Beiguang, Tianming, and Qianyuan, and tried to ensure that it would not suffer unacceptable battle damage in the process of retreating.

Of course, what the specific situation is, it must require the determination of the high-level leaders of Changnan, that is, everyone in the crossing group, and this document sent to Lin Wushuang is just a process.

Lin Wushuang put down this document slowly, he knew that this was a steady move by the military and political yamen, Lin Xiaohong was not a person who could run the entire yamen, she now has all kinds of talents under her command that she has dug from everywhere, this document is handed here, indicating that these suggestions have been discussed by these talents of the military and political yamen and reached a unified consensus.

He looked down at a few documents, all of them were all in total, none of them were detailed, but in the documents on the side of the civil affairs yamen, there were some things other than about this war, which were about the news that Changnan sold land to those powerful people in Beijing, and now this news is not a secret in Beijing, and the parties did not want to keep it secret at all.

There are those uncles and Hou Ye families in front, they are not worried that this is a scam, and now there are many people who are alive to represent a certain family, or represent a certain chamber of commerce, and come all the way to Quang Binh, trying to catch up with this feast of partition.

Originally, this was not a special thing, although the land of Beiguang Yifu is a lot, but, everyone, you and me, there is really not too much left, if these people are willing to pay a high price, they can still buy some, but that is the self-reserved land of Qingfeng Camp.

Although in the plan, these lands will be used as the welfare of the soldiers of the Qingfeng Battalion in the future, but if these benefits are exchanged for white flowers and silver in front of them, no one will refuse, in the hearts of most of the Qingfeng Battalion soldiers, as long as the Qingfeng Battalion is still fighting, these lands are really nothing, there is no land, just go to the Dayue people to occupy it.

However, the bad thing is that Lin Wushuang and others put forward the measures of the commercial power and merchant autonomy of the city-state, which was originally to alleviate the shortage of manpower to manage the town and to use it to win people's hearts and financial resources, the intention is very good, in the plan of the crossing group, the territory of Changnan should be like the ruling structure of medieval Europe, the highest center of power, of course, is Guangping, the decision-making level is the crossing group, the Qingfeng battalion is equivalent to the central army, and those occupied cities are by Guangping City in the name of Lin Wushuang, It is divided into various meritorious ministers, but this sub-feudal here, it will become the merchant autonomy, and the Qingfeng battalion will become the main force to resist the enemy, but these autonomous cities, in addition to managing the city, paying taxes, grain and grass and various obligations to Guangping, they can even have their own militia armament, which is quite a small lord, and these militia armaments will also become the reserve source of the Qingfeng battalion, and become the reserve army of the Qingfeng battalion, through this structure, Guangping can control a large piece of territory.

Those magnates in the capital may only be interested in the money that the land here can earn them, after all, if they are outside the Ming Dynasty, if they become subordinates of another force or Fanguo, they are impossible, politically impossible.

But those businessmen are different, they may be attached to some powerful people in the Daming Society, those so-called chambers of commerce, not a group of businessmen can get together by themselves, they must have the support of officials in the same region, they can survive and develop.

The magnates should have concerns, they don't have it at all, and the overseas trade that the magnates completely monopolize, few of them can get involved, even if they are lucky enough to participate in the game of sea trade, what they get is just some soup and water, eat meat, it is simply impossible, but, here, it is a new kind of overseas trade game that they can participate in, at the moment, they may have to pay, and there is a certain risk, but there is no doubt that once they successfully participate, When it comes time to pay off, the return is also incomparably rich.

The battle report published every day in the city was originally to improve the morale of the city and inspire people, but in their eyes, it became a road leading to gold and silver, these merchants or representatives of merchants strongly asked to participate in the bidding for the next city business rights of Qingfeng Camp, even if these cities fell into the hands of Qingfeng Camp, it was only a few days, and they could be recaptured by the Dayue people at any time.

But now these businessmen don't even think about it.

"These people are crazy, they can afford to look at ourselves better than ourselves" Lin Wushuang shook his head, feeling inexplicably happy, he even seemed to see a certain merchant who had just bid for this commercial power, and when he turned around and heard the news that the city that should have belonged to him was taken away by the Dayue people.

"Who is crazy" Qian Ningji walked into the study with a cup of ginseng tea, and just heard Lin Wushuang talking to himself.

"Look at it" Lin Wushuang handed the paperwork in his hand to Qian Ningji, "There will be this kind of thing, I really don't know where they got so much confidence in us" Qian Ningji took the paperwork, read it again, and then put the document down with a smile: "Xianggong is wrong, it's not that they have information about Changnan, but they have confidence in Daming and my father."

Lin Wushuang was surprised: "Oh, how do you say this?"

"Isn't this a very obvious thing, the matter of the Dongfan fleet, it is not a secret in Guangping, the group of people who came from Beijing at the beginning came by these boats, these people who came later, of course, have also heard the news, not to mention that the Dongfan fleet is under the guise of the brand of the Penghu Inspection Division, who can not see it, this is my father specially sent to give you a strong momentum, don't forget, in the eyes of outsiders, the identity of Dingyuanbo's son-in-law, but it is much louder than the name of your General Changnan" Lin Wushuang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "They weren't sent by your father willingly, but I got them in exchange for things, and I never made any money to do business with your father, so I should honor him."

"But they don't know" Qian Ningji smiled: "What they see is that in this Changnan, the Qingfeng Battalion is strong, in the water, there is my father's sailor supporting you, not to mention taking a few cities of the Dayue people, even if you occupy the Dayue country, they will not feel strange, the Qingfeng Battalion can't beat the Dayue people, it doesn't matter, my father can send the sailor over, can't you recruit some soldiers from overseas and other places to come over to you?"

"Speaking of which, it seems that your father is still stained, but if this is the case, I am afraid that the court will be suspicious of your father, I know that your father is most worried about this, he is worried that the emperor will suspect that he is going to establish himself as a king or rebel against the Ming Dynasty."

"That's my father's business" Qian Ningji is really a married woman, such a cheating father, she feels that it is an understatement, "I think my father has been able to handle these problems well over the years, and this time it will not be unexpected, so we don't have to worry about him" Lin Wushuang groaned, the military and political yamen suggested withdrawing the troops, it was nothing more than not being able to effectively occupy these advanced territories, but if these territories were not occupied by their own people, but by these Ming merchant groups, and the Qingfeng Battalion was just a simple combat mission He thought about it carefully, and felt that if it was a simple battle, the Qingfeng Battalion still had a little bit of control over the soldiers and horses of the Ruan Dynasty, but when fighting with the other party, it could not be guaranteed whether it could damage the cities that these merchant groups had bided for "You can tell these merchants about the risk in advance, of course, just like the teaching camp, all the merchant families who want to participate in our commercial bidding must send the children of the close branch of the clan to my teaching camp, they think they can accept it, then what else are we reluctant to do, anyway, if the army is withdrawn, these city sites are equivalent to being returned to the Dayue people, we are equivalent to a business without capital, isn't there a saying that life and death are rich and noble in the sky, they are late, the risk is greater, and it is normal" Qian Ningji said eloquently, as if this was a normal suggestion: "Actually, I think even if this is the case, these people will not back down, if you don't believe it, just give it a try" Lin Wushuang nodded: "Yes, it's time to give it a try, maybe, as you said, with such a big interest in front of you, no matter how big the risk is, these people will not back down." aa2705221 t1706231537:
