Chapter 1352
The Ma family in Majiazhuang is considered a powerful local clan in Fushan County, and naturally has a lot of industries. In addition to the several miles of land around Majiazhuang, it is now cooperating with Haihan to manage business affairs, and purchased them in Dengzhou and Laizhou. A lot of real estate is used to store goods, open shops, etc.If the land and real estate are to be liquidated, it will not be resolved in a short time. Moreover, is it safe to go to the south with a large amount of money after cashing out? Good things to think ahead.
Although Chen Yixin has a high status in the Haihan Kingdom, he is only a general who leads the army to fight abroad. It is difficult for him to directly intervene in such resettlement matters.Therefore, the Ma family has always been hesitant about moving to the south, holding a wait-and-see attitude.
Although Ma Yuling did not elaborate on the reason for this, Chen Yixin had already thought of it.Chen Yixin was silent for a moment before saying, "Do you know where Kaohsiung Port is?"
Ma Yuling was slightly taken aback by Chen Yixin's sudden mention of this irrelevant geographical knowledge, but she has long been used to Chen Yixin's occasional questions these days, so she still nodded and said: "Kaohsiung Port is located in the south of Taiwan Island. A port that started construction years ago."
"I have a good memory." Chen Yixin praised Ma Yuling's answer, and then got down to business: "I have a good friend who is now a civil affairs officer in Kaohsiung Port. If the Ma family is willing to move there, I can let him Take care of all aspects as much as possible, and purchase property and land can also provide convenience.”
The "good friend" Chen Yixin refers to is naturally Li Dou, who is currently in charge of Kaohsiung Port.The two are about the same age, and they have been friends since the early days of crossing, and later worked together in Dawanshan Island, Hong Kong Island, Penghu and other places. They have experienced a lot of ups and downs together, and their friendship is naturally deep.Although the two had almost no chance to meet each other in the past two years, they still kept in touch through letters.When Chen Yixin held a wedding here in Shandong, although Li Dou was unable to attend the wedding due to the long distance, he sent a whole boatload of Kaohsiung local specialties to Shandong in his own name. The guy is also quite admirable.
If Chen Yixin wants to arrange for the old man's family to settle in the south, then the Kaohsiung area currently governed by Li Dou is undoubtedly a good choice.The local area is still in the development stage, and there is a great demand for Han immigrants. The resettlement treatment is also more relaxed than that of Hainan Island, such as naturalization, property purchase, land purchase, etc., and the threshold is much lower.If it was a situation like Majiazhuang where the whole family moved south, Lidou could relax the terms of resettlement and allow them to form a new village locally.Whether it is running a plantation or a collective farm, within a few years, the Ma family will definitely become one of the big clans in the area.
However, Chen Yixin is not in a hurry to facilitate this matter. After all, a considerable part of Haihan's local trade affairs in Shandong is entrusted to the Ma family as an agent. If the Ma family moves to the south, it will be difficult to find a suitable replacement for a while. By.Now he is only providing an option to the Ma family through Ma Yuling to show that he is also very concerned about this matter.
Ma Yuling said: "If my family and I move to the south, what about you?"
Chen Yixin thought to himself that you were waiting for me here, and immediately persuaded him: "Of course I want to go back to the south, but now I have a task, I can't just leave, no matter what, I have to deal with the things in Shandong first. Let's talk later."
Although he said so, Chen Yixin knew very well in his heart that this was just an excuse.Haihan has great plans in Northeast Asia, and the Shandong base is only the initial foothold.In the next few years, Haihan will use this as a foundation to expand the control area to the surrounding areas, and the military will play a huge role in this process. How can he easily give up these opportunities to make contributions?Even if he has a lovely wife and beautiful family members, even if there are wavering in the middle, Chen Yixin still can't completely give up his career ambition.
After dealing with today's armed conflict, Chen Yixin confirmed one thing, that is, his desire to lead troops to fight has not diminished because of the peaceful days of these few months, and the joyful feeling of shooting and killing the enemy has not diminished. It is far from being a substitute for handling government affairs at the desk every day.He is a soldier, and his stage should be on the battlefield, not the office on the second floor of the management committee.
As for whether this will affect the harmony of the family in the future, Chen Yixin feels that he has a good example. Qian Tiandun's wife Luo Wudan has also moved to Shandong with her husband and lives on Zhifu Island.Although the living conditions in Zhifu Island are far from those in places like Sanya, if you can live with your family and loved ones, what's the point of a slightly rough environment?What's more, high-ranking Haihan officials like them, in terms of quality of life, far surpassed the gentry and landlords of this era, even in Shandong, a place far away from the mainland of Haihan, their living standards are already the envy of others.
Chen Yixin has been in the army for a long time and is used to life of iron and blood. Naturally, he will not have too much love for his children. To be able to give Ma Yuling and her family some care within his ability in life is already the best he can do.Although staying in the army may disappoint Ma Yuling, who longs for a peaceful life, he believes that he can make up for the other party through other aspects of performance—as long as he is willing to put in more effort, no matter where he settles in the future, he will let Ma Yuling It is not difficult for Yuling to live the life of a noble lady with rich clothes and good food.
The Majiazhuang assassination incident caused only small waves in the local area, but no major disturbances. A few days before the incident, the local area entered into a state of military control, and the people in Majiazhuang were temporarily grounded to prevent the military from moving ahead of schedule. Leaked.However, it took only a moment for Zheng Ai and others to actually do it. Only a few scattered gunshots were heard in Majiazhuang, and the matter was declared over, and there was no continuous fighting that the people were worried about.The official news released to the outside world only claimed that several criminals who tried to smuggle to Zhifu Island were captured, and did not mention the inside story of the assassination at all.
All the survivors captured during this process, the armed men who were killed, and Tie Pingjiang, the party concerned, were all escorted to Zhifu Island by the military before Majiazhuang was released from confinement.
As one of the baits of this trap, Tie Pingjiang must seize the opportunity to leave Zheng Ai's convoy by himself, which is undoubtedly the most dangerous task.But this is a rare opportunity for him to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, so naturally he has to fight with his life.However, his luck was probably exhausted before that. When he left the battlefield, the archers commanded by Zheng Ai shot two arrows in succession, one leg and one waist, and he was seriously injured.Whether he can survive depends on whether Morgan on Zhifu Island can use his medical skills to save him.
But even if Tie Pingjiang survived by chance, based on the things he committed before, he would definitely not be able to continue serving in the army.However, he has made great contributions in quelling the chaos this time. After the merits and demerits are balanced, it is not a big problem to secure a professional qualification for veterans.Of course, Tie Pingjiang had already handed over all the benefits he received from Zheng Ai before, otherwise the military court would not have let him go so easily.
At the same time, Chen Yixin's preliminary trial report was sent to the Zhifu Island headquarters. After confirming the name of the chief envoy, Qian Tiandun sighed and said, "I will not commit crimes, but they will commit crimes against me. There are really endless cases of this Liao what!"
"How about I go to Dengzhou to remind the gentlemen in the city?" Tom Wang answered the question.Of course, he will not visit Dengzhou by land, but will take the Northern Fleet under his command to show off his force and deter those restless people in Dengzhou city.
Qian Tiandun shook his head and said, "You just came back from the sea yesterday, so let's rest your feet and talk about it first. Besides, it may not necessarily be of any practical benefit to us if this matter becomes serious."
Wang Tom went to Phi Island a few days ago to send food supplies to the local area, and brought back more than 400 emaciated immigrants by the way.These people are basically Han Chinese who used to live in the Northeast. They retreated to Phi Island with the Ming army, and then there was no further retreat.If Haihan had not provided supplies to Phi Island since the end of last year, most of them would have starved to death on Phi Island.Leaving Phi Island in batches and relocating to the south as immigrants according to Haihan's arrangement, this is probably the best way out they can get.
The cooperation between Haihan and Pidao hit it off. For the Phidao authorities, exchanging population for food is undoubtedly the most effective solution to the famine problem on the island.What's more, Haihan's assistance to them is not only food, but also military equipment and the covenant of joint resistance against Houjin.
Shen Shikui, the governor of Phi Island, knew that this opportunity should not be missed, so he held on to this life-saving straw very tightly, even if his hand was cut off, he would never let go.He sent his nephew Shen Zhixiang to the Haihan Army as a military observer, and even went south with the Haihan fleet to Zhoushan, Zhejiang last winter to inspect the construction status of Haihan's overseas bases as a reference. The future construction and development plan of Phi Island.
As a military ally, Phi Dao can provide Haihan with thousands of well-trained Ming soldiers and a basically complete military system.Of course, Shen Shikui will definitely not hand over the command to Haihan. What he wants is cooperation, not merger.
Since last winter, the two sides have carried out several joint operations in the Liaodong waters to carry out targeted strikes against Hou Jin's troops stationed in the coastal area, especially the armed forces at sea.Although the frequency of such actions is not high, the effect is obvious. After several raids at sea, Houjin has withdrawn its limited maritime armed forces to inland rivers, or simply retreated to the Bohai Sea west of the Liaodong Peninsula. Went to the bay.
The Changshan Islands, which lost control due to Shang Kexi's defection a few years ago, have also returned to the control area of the Han people through the joint efforts of the two militaries.Of course, as a pre-negotiated exchange of benefits, the control of some of the islands has been assigned to Haihan.In this way, the convenience for Haihan to absorb Han immigrants from the Liaodong area has increased a lot. At present, the more than a thousand Han immigrants living on Guanglu Island controlled by Haihan are almost all from the Liaodong Peninsula in the past year. refugees out.
However, Haihan's strategic goals in this area have never been limited to those small islands. The Lushun and Dalian areas at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula are the areas Haihan most wants to win.The armed forces in the Houjin Sea are relatively weak, so as long as Haihan can hold the narrow Jinzhou Isthmus, the peninsula area of hundreds of square kilometers to the south can be classified as a safe zone.At that time, this control area will be larger than Haihan's occupied area in Fushan County. The two places are separated by the Bohai Strait, and the north and south echo each other. It can form a restraint on both the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. This is what Haihan really wants to achieve. phased goals.
Of course, only relying on the scale of the current garrison in Shandong, the military will not rashly implement this kind of combat plan.Although the Hou Jin army suffered a lot in the sea confrontation in the past year, it has been increasing the garrison strength in Lushun and Jinzhou.Even if the Haihan army is not afraid of its opponents in terms of combat effectiveness, its strength is far from enough to wipe out the enemy and occupy these areas.
Under such circumstances, the Ming army in Dengzhou still caused troubles from time to time, which made Qian Tiandun a little unhappy.After several armed conflicts with the Ming army last year, Haihan did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and implemented thunderous tactics against Dengzhou City, just because he didn't want to completely tear his face and start a war with Daming.But it is clear that the Dengzhou officials did not appreciate Haihan's intentions in this matter, and still had the idea of expelling Haihan from Shandong.
From the standpoint of the Ming army, there is nothing wrong with doing so, but some officials are really ignorant of current affairs.Although these methods did not cause any substantial losses to Haihan, they were still like flies, making people upset.
"Let's hand it over to the security department for a slow trial first, make sure they have no other tricks, and then consider retaliation." Qian Tiandun decided to put the matter aside first: "It's just a matter of command, and there is nothing in his hands." How many troops are available, don't be too afraid of his existence for the time being."
In the eyes of Qian Tiandun, the Ming army officer of the fourth rank is not a big man.Of course, only high-ranking officials of the Haihan Army have such confidence. You must know that Liao Jie is the highest-ranking figure in the command system of the Ming Army in Dengzhou, and he is also a number-one general in Shandong Dusi.It's just that he was unlucky to run into an opponent like Hai Han, and he was restrained everywhere, so he couldn't show his talent at all.If Majiazhuang's assassination operation had changed its target, it might have succeeded, but hitting Haihan would be another failure.
It's just that Liao Jie didn't know at this time that within a few words of Qian Tiandun, he might have gone from life to death, and from death to life again.He is still waiting for news from Fushan County in order to consider follow-up measures.
Happy New Year 2018 to all readers!While reading, don't forget to vote.In the new year, this book will be updated steadily as always.
