In Shajing City, the news that Yang Chendong was proclaimed the King of Wunan aroused the voices of soldiers and common people.
Except for a few people in the know, most people don't know how this trick changed, how did their sixth young master become a king with a different surname personally conferred by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty?If you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out. After all, this is a good thing, and it is worth celebrating.
In Shajing City, batch after batch of subordinates who came to congratulate were sent away, Yang Chendong knew it was time to leave the grassland.This trip lasted more than a year, and my daughter Lele might not remember her anymore, and the grassland is always very cold in winter, compared with the warm and pleasant climate in Chixian City at this time.
Leaving from Shajing City and handing over everything here to Shebie, the commander of the New Second Army, Yang Chendong took Humang and others back to Shicheng, where he picked up the sixth lady Luan Xiaoyu, and then took Yang Er and Yiqian The main force of the Longwei plus the Fifth Hai Division left Shicheng and went straight to North Korea from the Liaodu area.
In December [-], Yang Chendong and his party returned to Chixian City by boat.
Red embedded city palace.The returned Yang Chendong, dressed in travel and dust, rode a white dragon straight to the inner palace.Along the way, everyone they saw fell to their knees and shouted long live the king.For all of this, he seemed to have never seen it. All he was thinking about was his daughter Lele. He hadn't seen her for more than a year, and he missed him very much.
In a courtyard deep in the palace, Lele, who is already one year and five months old, can already walk, toddle, with a chubby face and big eyes flickering, as if seeing everything is fresh.
Mother Qiaoyin led a group of maids to surround Lele, watching her every move, sometimes being aroused by her childish behavior, she couldn't stop laughing.But at some point, the small courtyard suddenly fell silent, and the sudden appearance of a man attracted everyone's attention.Seemingly sensing something wrong with the atmosphere, Xiao Lele, who was leaving happily, also looked back, and saw a strange man in a golden battle suit.
Seeing such a tall stranger suddenly appear, Lele instinctively grinned and cried, as if she was frightened, and also seemed to be affected by Yang Chendong's murderous aura.
"Wow!"
In the quiet atmosphere, this cry immediately touched everyone's heartstrings. At that moment, several maids ran towards Lele quickly, but no matter how fast these people were, they could not be as fast as Yang Chendong who was running in big strides. He hugged Lele as soon as he made a move, and then the inner energy in his dantian continued to surge. Yang Chendong, who jumped four feet high, jumped continuously. This height gave Lele a feeling of flying through the clouds. She originally had tears His eyes stopped moving immediately, and he held his breath at first, as if he was very scared, but he quickly adapted to these rhythms, and followed the "opening his teeth and dancing his claws", babbling high, high, high...
After jumping continuously for a while, Yang Chendong felt a little tired, so he stopped, and then he hugged Lele and said, "Come on, Lele, call father."
He stopped suddenly, and being stared at by Yang Chendong again, Lele, who couldn't get used to it for a while, burst into tears again, with a powerful voice, not like a girl.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
Qiaoyin in the distance finally came over, looking at Yang Chendong with gentle eyes, but after seeing Lele crying, she couldn't help but take the child with distressed hands, "Master, Lele is still young, and it's been so long I haven't seen you, I'm afraid I have forgotten you."
"Don't forget that I'm also her father." Yang Chendong said indifferently, and then made a face at Lele who was in his mother's arms.
Originally, Lele, who came to her mother's arms, suddenly felt safe, and then began to look curiously at the strange man who was playing with her in front of her. He completely forgot about the matter, and laughed out loud.
This is probably blood relationship, father and daughter after all, even if they are a little strange for a while, they will soon become familiar again.
Yang Chendong came back, and returned to Chixian City as the King of Wunan. Immediately, some high-level senior officials came to Yang Chendong to pay his respects, and at the same time reported the work of the past year.
After another year or so, the development of Chixian City is gratifying, especially the first batch of students from Chixian City College graduated from the six-year program.Most of them are talented adults with a certain cultural foundation, so they can learn things relatively quickly.And some of them have achieved some impressive results in the fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc.For example, the successful development of the [-]th Five-Year Form was closely related to the participation of some students.
With the graduation of the first batch of [-] students, all units and departments are scrambling for important people like looking forward to the stars and the moon.These are all new students of the Yang Department, and they are all regarded as one of Yang Chendong's disciples. They have a lot of understanding that is different from this era. Once they are introduced into their department, the benefits will be far beyond imagination.
Not only the first batch of students from the six-year program began to graduate, but also 60 ordinary people who had learned some Chinese characters became teachers and apprentices.Most of them have learned some crafts more or less, and there is no problem in being self-reliant. Most importantly, they are all grateful to Yang Chendong, because they are the people who were sold to the Yang family by Nanming at the beginning.At the beginning, each of them had a thin complexion, not much different from a dying person, but now each of them has a ruddy complexion and possesses skills. They belong to the existence that can be moved to various places at any time and used as the main force.
In the eyes of many people, the expansion of the Yang family's power is already very fast, but in fact it can be faster. The main reason is that occupying the land and occupying the city cannot win the hearts of the people. Such occupation is meaningless. Yang Chendong Slowly and slowly.Now that he has these 60 loyal Han people in his hands, it is enough for him to conquer a large area to rule.
The good news is one after another, the years of hard work in Chixian City have finally begun to pay off, and it also indicates that the power of the Yang family is likely to reach a new level in the future.
Back in Chixian City, apart from meeting various people, inspecting various factories and units and giving opinions, what Yang Chendong did most in the palace was to play with his daughter Lele and work hard at night.
There is no way, Yang Chendong's love for Lele exceeds everyone's liking, even every night whenever he has time, he will personally coax his daughter to sleep and explain to her patiently
story, and then I will go to accompany the ladies.
This made the wives who originally thought he didn't like children understand that it wasn't that the husband didn't like children, but that he never had children of his own.Since the husband likes children so much, why don't they hurry up and wait?Taking advantage of Yang Chendong's New Year's Eve in Chixian City this time, he was exhausted every night. Fortunately, he never stopped exercising, and his body could still bear it.
In a blink of an eye, [-] came.
Naturally, the New Year was celebrated in the royal palace of Chixian City. This was also the first New Year he celebrated after he became the King of Nanwu, so it was full of excitement.
Compared with the hustle and bustle of Chixian City, the life of Nanming King Zhu Huixun is getting more and more sad.After a year of hard work, he who had no background gradually lost power. Under the attack of Nanming Emperor Zhu Qizhen and Xiping Wang Mubin, he had already lost a quarter of his territory. Just like this, his power is still growing. In the process of shrinking, if it weren't for the support of the Miao people, I am afraid that it would have been unable to survive.But even so, the defeat is now apparent, and without external force, it will be a matter of time before this war is lost.
Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Yingzong of the Southern Ming Dynasty, had a pretty good year this year.When all the food was purchased by the Five-Star Army at a fair price, his pressure was much less. Soldiers did not have to continue to farm the fields and only needed to train with peace of mind and wait for the battlefield. This virtually strengthened the strength of the army. Victory against the army of King Nanming every season.
It's just that Zhu Qizhen overlooked one thing, that is, the food for the army is not worrying, but what about ordinary people?For many people, farming is the only thing they can and will do.But now, the country doesn't pay much attention to farming at all, and the help that should be given has not been seen, and the taxes that should be collected are indeed not less at all.Except for some big landlords who still have a lot of land and can maintain it, ordinary people like those who only have a few cents of land per person can't survive at all.In order to survive, they had no choice but to look for other ways of life. The Five-Star Army shelter near Lang Son became the place where many people fell in love.
The Lang Son Shelter was specially ordered by Yang Chendong to house the Han people who were homeless and had nowhere to live during the war.Sufficient food and horse-drawn carriages were prepared there. As long as the Han people fled here, they would be able to eat well and wear warm clothes. At the same time, the soldiers of the Five-Star Army stationed here could also guarantee their safety.It is even more heard that after coming here, they will be picked up soon. As long as they perform outstandingly, they will be assigned to a large piece of fertile land and then live a prosperous life.
With the continuous appearance of Han people in Chixian City, and even secretly entering the realm of Nanming, this kind of statement is speaking by themselves along the way, and its influence is growing, so that in just one year, the people in the realm of Nanming It is less than 100 million.It's just because Nanming has a population of tens of millions, and most of the people who escaped were the lowest-level people who had nowhere to go, so it didn't attract much attention.
"Intensify our efforts and send people to transport a large amount of food to the shelter. In a word, as long as there is still a breath, we must rescue all the Han people who come to the shelter and give them a new life." Chi In the city lord's mansion embedded in the city, Yang Chendong and Yu Qian sat opposite each other. When talking about the matter of Nanming, King Nanwu said in a tone that did not allow any doubts.
So sympathetic to Yang Chendong
Aiming for the people, Yu Qian is a hundred people in favor of it, but when he thinks that there are still some voices of opposition below, he has no choice but to say: "His Royal Highness Nanwu King, in this way, we need to pay more money and food. Some people say that it is only in exchange for some big characters It’s not worth it if you don’t know a single person.”
"Nonsense." Yang Chendong replied directly to this statement. "It's not their choice that the people are illiterate, it's really the system and the environment. How many of the current red-set people were literate before? If they can learn, why can't others not. Yu City Lord, if someone says something like this in the future, let him talk to this king directly, and see how many heads they have grown."
Yang Chendong seldom spoke in a reprimanding voice, which shows that the status of Han people in his heart is very high.And such a decision made Yu Qian very happy. He was originally an outlier in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, and he was also a person who pleaded for the people. He does not rejoice.But at the same time, he still has a concern, that is, why are there so many Han people here?The entire Chixian City, and even the entire land on Xiaoliuqiu Island have been developed in the past few years. If there are more people, there will be no land to grow.
"King Wunan, judging from the current situation in Xiaoliuqiu Island, there is no need for too many people. Even some factories need people, but the number needed is limited after all. The arrival of these people will only increase our burden. "Speaking of the worries in his heart, Yu Qian stared at Yang Chendong, he wanted to see his hole cards, which would be of great reassurance to how he would do things in the future.
To others, Yang Chendong only expressed his kindness to the Han people, but he did not fully expose his ambition.But in the face of Qian, who is truly loyal to the Han Dynasty, Yang Chendong did not hide it. Firstly, he knew that the other party was strict, and secondly, his ideals did not conflict with the other party's ideas, so he would be supported. Thirdly, as the city lord of Chixian City, in fact, the highest officer in charge of the Yang family, he also needs to know his own thoughts.
So, in front of outsiders, Yang Chendong expressed his ideal for the first time. "City Master Yu, Chixian City does not need so many Han people, but other places still need it. We will only dislike the real Han people, not too many."
"Wu Nan Wang means..." Yu Qian seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand completely.
"The meaning is very simple. The territory of our Yang family will not be limited to our eyes. You can see the land around Daming, but there are more places that you can't see. For example, the western world where Portugal and Spain are located. In the future It will also be our territory like Laos Province and other places." When talking about these, Yang Chendong's eyes were full of anticipation and enthusiasm.
As the lord of Chixian City, vigorously developing business is also within his jurisdiction. Naturally, Yu Qian is no stranger to Western countries such as Portugal and Spain.As far as he knows, there is also a very vast land there, but because the distance is too far, he has to cross the sea, so he didn't pay much attention to it.Unexpectedly, Yang Chendong actually put his ideas there, what kind of ambition does that represent, and Yu Qian was really shocked for a while.
Chapter One Thousand and One
As far as he knows, the most powerful force in history is the Mongolian cavalry led by Genghis Khan. They not only occupied most of the areas around the Central Plains, but also reached as far as the hinterland of Eastern Europe, which is today's Austria and Hungary. , Vienna, near the Danube.That was already so shocking, that many places are still ruled by their descendants and remnants.But looking at Yang Chendong's reason now, it seems to be even bigger than that, to attack across the sea, isn't this the rhythm of wanting to occupy the whole world?
Yu Qian didn't know that the Wunan King in his eyes came from later generations. He had seen too many scenes of Han people being discriminated against, too many injustices, and even countless denunciations and out-of-the-box provocations, but at that time There is a limit to what he can do.Now he finally has the opportunity to change everything, no matter how hard he works, it is worth it. What he wants is the moment when he sees the Han people standing on top of the world; what he wants is that the blood of the Han people will always be the most noble and purest; What he wants to see is that no matter where the Han people represent the most powerful and inviolable and the slightest blasphemy.
For this ideal, he can give everything including life.
Yang Chendong's showdown made Yu Qian feel admiration, but at the same time he gained more confidence. "King Wunan, please rest assured. The veteran knows what to do. He will accept as many Han people as there are in the future. If there is pressure, the veteran will resist first. When he can't resist, he will turn to King Wunan for help."
"Okay, if someone goes too far in one aspect, City Lord Yu can do whatever he wants, and I will take care of you when the sky falls." Yang Chendong laughed at this moment.With Yu Qian's support, there will be more and more Han people in his hands, which will play a very positive role in promoting his future plans.
After the city lord's mansion came out, Yang Chendong went to some important factories under the protection of Longwei. These factories played a great role in the smooth development of the Yang family.It is precisely because they have produced countless products that have surpassed this era that the Five-Star Army has more money and a sufficient financial foundation to do more things they want to do.
Every time he returns to Chixian City, as long as he has time, Yang Chendong will go to these factories to encourage everyone and help them solve some problems.He may not understand all the professional things, but after all, the experience of later generations is there, and he is the clearest about how to take the road and how to choose the direction.
After Yu Qian finished talking with Yang Chendong, with a swipe of the pen, he took out another 100 million taels of silver from the treasury and invested it in the Lang Son Shelter on the border with Nanming.To say that over the years, there have been a wide variety of commodities in Chixian City, and they are all extremely novel. It's quite satisfactory, at least you don't need to worry about money, and you look very bold when you do things.
After drawing the money, Yu Qian felt that what he had done was not enough, so he asked someone to arrange for him to go to the preparatory camp for the Han people to take a look, get a real understanding of the situation there, and solve practical problems. Cheer up.Then Yang Chendong said that these people will be used as seeds to be scattered in every corner of the world in the future, and now they are lucky to stay in Chixian City.
He wants to give each other warmth and let them feel the meaning of caring.
The Han people's preparatory camp refers to those Han people who came from other places to live temporarily.No matter what their living conditions were like in the past, when they come here, they treat food and housing equally. At the same time, they also need to learn skills, various skills, such as men learning farming, blacksmithing, fishing, or going to school. Work in factories, women learn weaving, embroidery or go to work in factories, etc.In short, the first person should learn one or two more skills as much as possible, in order to prepare for a better life after going outside.In addition to this, learning culture is also essential.
And if any of them performed very well, they might stay in Chixian City.In the end, it depends on everyone's wishes.In short, this is a preparatory camp, coming from all directions, and then arranged to leave in all directions after charging.
Because people come and go here very frequently, this preparatory camp for Han people is not only under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but also people from the Ministry of Public Security are guarding here 24 hours a day, in order to prevent unpleasant things from happening, and at the same time, it is also for the supervision of everyone. a deterrent effect.
