MTL - The Reborn Lady is Farming-Chapter 1344 Looking at the world outside (22)

  Lin Chengxiu is indeed brave and resourceful. Even if Zhou Zhou withdrew most of his people to Guangzhou, he could still keep Daqi soldiers from being bullied in Nanyang.

   Hutou and Little Lion have learned a lot by following him and have made rapid progress. Even if Lin Chengxiu doesn't like them very much, he has to admit that they are more talented than him.

   Especially Hutou, but a boy of fifteen or sixteen dared to take a hundred or so people to attack and seize an island.

And because of the arrival of Deputy General Bai, the island of Luzon has also changed a lot. He led the soldiers to build the barracks, and also established a good relationship with the local people, helping the Harvest Grain Shop to open its first branch here. .

   He did not stop the soldiers who came home to visit with goods. As long as there were not many things, he turned a blind eye, and the indigenous people improved their living conditions.

He also allowed untrained soldiers to go to the sea every once in a while, and the fish, shrimps, crabs and other food he got were used for extra meals, even the kelp that could be seen everywhere on the reefs. Therefore, the food was improved. Deputy General Bai has only been here for three months. The military rations everyone eats is reduced by 10%, but people gain a lot of weight.

Lin Chengxiu's face was very dark, but Vice Admiral Bai said with a smile: "The soldiers fight hard and train hard, and they can improve their lives without military expenses. The soldiers went hunting in the mountains just to give everyone some fat."

"The environment in Nanyang is much worse than that in the north. A decent town is half a month away. If you want to eat some meat, you have to watch the mountains and forests drool. Why don't you have ready-made fish and shrimp? I'm starving, you see who would be willing to come and station in Nanyang in a few years."

  Lin Chengxiu sneered: "It is the duty of soldiers to protect the family and the country, so what if they don't want to?"

Vice Admiral Bai patted him on the shoulder and said gently: "I don't want to be willing, how can I win a battle? General, this is a war general that can't compare to you, but for a general you must not only be able to fight, but also have to be able to fight. Will train and manage soldiers.”

Deputy General Bai said with a smile: "The last general was fortunate to be by Prince Rong's side in his early years, and he had seen him fight, and he once told the soldiers that the generals are three capable, with training as the top, managing the soldiers as the center, and charging. for the next."

  Lin Chengxiu's face changed.

   Vice Admiral Bai patted him on the shoulder and left, letting him think for himself.

   He is indeed from the prince's subordinates. The people who have followed the prince for more than 20 years have either died or have a great future. He is the only one who has gone from a small logistics soldier to a rank four general.

If there is no promotion from the prince, he is still a small fifth-rank military position in the Xishan camp. He can't fight. The biggest advantage is that he is extremely careful in logistics deployment. use.

   Only the prince still remembers him.

Before leaving, the lord called him to the mansion and said, "Lin Chengxiu is talented, but he is too arrogant. Such a person has just passed the fold. All the boys are with him. I don’t want them to only learn how to fight with him, but I forgot how I taught them how to train and manage soldiers. So you go, not only to take care of the soldiers in Nanyang, but also to watch for this king. With those two boys, don't just learn to be arrogant, but forget to learn the skills."

Qi Haoran said: "You don't know how to fight, go there and don't interfere with Lin Chengxiu's leadership, but you can remind him in terms of management, if he can learn, it will be good, if not, I will transfer him back to the military academy. go in."

   Deputy General Bai thought that the lord should cherish talents more. If Lin Chengxiu did not accept his suggestion and made the Nanyang garrison complain, he would have to be sent to the military academy in the end.

   That was his last chance. If he still failed to grasp it, he would be a rank four general in the future.

  The foreigners don’t know the dark tide of Daqi’s troops stationed in Nanyang. They are discussing how to make peace with Daqi. They have lost too much this year, and they still have to let Daqi stop these military operations.

   And recently, another group of pirates appeared in the Indian Ocean. These pirates only looted merchant ships in the Western Ocean. Although they only stole 30-40% of the cargo every time they boarded the ship, they also suffered huge losses.

   But they came and went without a trace, and their warships went out several times without catching a trace.

   All countries feel that their efficiency is reduced because of Daqi's harassment, so they must resolve the dispute with Daqi as soon as possible.

   This time Daqi agreed to negotiate peace, but his attitude was still strong, saying that if the pirates of Western countries robbed Daqi's merchant ships again, they would definitely fight back, and they would never stop until the pirates were destroyed.

  If Western countries can restrain their citizens, they will naturally be willing to live in peace with other countries. After all, their original intention is to protect the people of Daqi, not to provoke them.

   Western countries proposed that Daqi should also restrain its own people.

   Daqi readily responded, saying that if countries found out that there were Daqi people out there acting as pirates, their countries could send troops to destroy them, and they would definitely not stop them.

   The prefect of Guangzhou was extremely ironic when he said this, saying: "Even if they are the people of Daqi, once they become pirates, killing and looting is unforgivable. I will never cover up Daqi."

  The faces of the envoys from various countries stiffened.

After    and the others left, Zhou Zhou muttered to him: "You are too open to talk. What if they catch our people?"

   You must know that half of the pirates in the Indian Ocean are recruited young fishermen and half are soldiers of Daqi.

   The prefect of Guangzhou pouted and said, "Can't you cover a fleet with so many garrisoned troops in Nanyang? What's more, even if they catch people, those people are all from Dongying."

Zhou Zhou frowned, and the prefect of Guangzhou said indifferently: "Don't worry, the prince's move is just to show them a little color, and let them taste the pain of being looted, it will not be too long, the short is three Two years, five or six years, these people will be recruited back."

   Zhou Zhou thought of Qi Haoran's temper, and his brows relaxed slightly.

   But neither of them thought that after three years, the pirate fleet was not disbanded, but all of them were registered in the military and returned to the names of the three young masters, who would lead them to the West.

At that time, after three years of development, Nanyang has changed a lot. The Harvest Grain Shop has opened branches in several nearby countries, and technicians have also been sent to teach the local people to grow rice and various crops. The name of the princess spread all over Nanyang, and almost every family who planted the seeds produced by the Harvest Grain Shop had Mu Yangling's longevity tablet at home.

   Later, at the suggestion of Prince Rong, Emperor Daqi waved his hand and asked the Royal Bookstore to print a batch of sage books for various countries in Nanyang.

  The tiger head and the little lion took the opportunity to introduce the Baoxiong Academy into Luzon, and began to educate the indigenous people from Luzon.

  The villagers near the seaport where Daqi is stationed in Luzon have all learned to speak Chinese, especially the children, who will recite a few words every day when they are rushing to the sea by the sea.

   Contrary to the growing prestige of Daqi in the Southeast Asian countries, the natives became more and more disgusted with the Westerners who occupied and enslaved them, and the rebellion and uprising could not be stopped.
