Chapter 158 Unreliable! Month
,I live in Dakang's salted fish
The boys saw their reactions.
Of course I won’t tell you, when I was in the Ming Dynasty and xx, when did the Japanese slaves come in? Isn’t it abominable like a beast?
Liu Mingqi thought about it and said, "You all should understand that the Japanese came not to ask us for money! They came to loot! What rules do you tell them to beggars? No matter how many you give them, they think they are sending beggars and want to take them by themselves! What is it easier to kill you, kill them all, kill them all?"
"Prince, what should we do?" a noble child asked with a frown.
In general, in everyone's mind, Liu Mingqi has a very strong position.
It’s not about his saint status, but about his talent.
On the one hand, you can invent things and make money, on the other hand, you can write poems, songs and essays, and you can also write exquisite words.
This was a genius in ancient times!
Well-deserved genius!
Simply put, it is the idol of young people.
Of course they are willing to listen to the words and suggestions of idols.
What's more, although they are young, they are not fools.
What’s wrong with matters related to your wealth and life?
Preparing early and fully prepared is the best way to protect family members and property.
Those who blindly believe in destiny and only pray for the blessing of the Bodhisattva are all foolish people and will never become a climate.
Liu Mingqi said calmly: "Don't panic when encountering things... You should consider one thing from beginning to end. Try to avoid the loss of life and property. If you consider it under this premise, then your thinking will be much clearer. I can divide it into two strategies, namely seeking help and self-help.
Everyone knows that the bigger the town, the greater the chance of rescue, and the more impressive the defense power itself. For example, in Suzhou Prefecture, in addition to the 5,000 garrison troops, Suzhou Weaving also has more than 5,000 soldiers, and with the police yamen runners from various major yamen, it is okay to raise 15,000 people?
Although the garrison soldiers in the hinterland of Dakang may not be able to attack, they will still try their best to defend their hometowns and the villagers who have been supporting them for many years. Therefore, unless the Japanese kill 50,000 people in one go, it is impossible to capture Suzhou Prefecture within two or three days.
Suzhou is an important town of the imperial court, second only to Hangzhou, Huai'an, Jinling, and Yangzhou. Once so many Japanese attacks, Governor Liu Renhuai and General Wanyan Yi will definitely send people to rescue them immediately."
A scholar asked after hearing this, "If other places are very dangerous, what if they don't have time to come?"
Liu Mingqi nodded: "Yes! This is the importance of self-rescue in the second place. No matter when, we have rational people, we can expect others to rescue us, but we must not give up on ourselves to rescue ourselves.
So from the beginning, we must be prepared to defend Suzhou for more than half a month, or even a month! So how can Suzhou last for so long, do you know?"
Another scholar was obviously very talented. He said, "Let the wealthy families in the city have money to pay, and have food to pay, and summon all the guards and men to use the benefits to make them work hard, so that they can be kept?"
"From the perspective of ordinary people, this is exactly what it is." Liu Mingqi nodded, "and under normal circumstances, they will achieve good results."
The scholar smiled, but Liu Mingqi immediately said: "But these people are at most powerful civilians. They are not as good as the cruel Japanese who can attack super rich towns like Suzhou. They must be the elite Japanese! If they were to break through Suzhou City without any effort, they would probably only extend the day of falling for three or five days!"
Everyone thought this plan was reliable, but when they heard Liu Mingqi's words, they became depressed again.
If you think about it carefully, it's true.
The Japanese are really going crazy, I'm afraid these guards in the Jiangnan Water Town can't bear it.
"How should I save myself, Prince?" a scholar asked anxiously, "I would like to give you more advice and help us! Save the people in Suzhou!"
Liu Mingjing was also a little confused.
He is a person who is familiar with military tactics and knows that what others just said is the best way to defend and self-rescue.
It’s impossible for Mingqi to let them transform into an army from where, right?
Wait a minute!
Could it be...
As soon as Liu Mingjing's idea arose, he heard Liu Mingqi say, "There are three ways. First, don't our Jiangnan merchant fleet often go to Japan to do business? If they come to attack us, can we hide so many ships from our merchant ships? As long as those merchant ships send the news back, we have sufficient preparations, can we block most of the enemies outside the country?"
"You are right, but this is not very safe!" A man who was obviously a maritime merchant at home smiled bitterly: "Merchant ships are usually full of supplies, so how can they compare to their small warships? I'm afraid they will be chased by them in no time, and there will be no news back!"
"Can't you just throw away all the goods and run back hard?" Liu Mingqi asked.
"I'm afraid the speed is still not good." The man shook his head.
"It seems that I am Lu Lang. If I don't know the specific situation, I will make random plans." Liu Mingqi nodded and turned to: "The second point, which is the old saying, let the navy dispatch more ships to investigate. Once the enemy is found, after sending a signal, the navy can swarm and destroy part of their power at the sea. In this way, even if they can reach the land smoothly, their power will not be so strong, right?"
"The navy you mentioned has been doing, but whether it works and whether they can find it is still an unknown." Sima Jin, who had been sitting by Liu Mingqi, replied in this way.
The others had the same opinion as him and did not think Liu Mingqi's idea was so good.
Some people even felt a little disappointed and felt that they overestimated Liu Mingqi.
But the next moment, Liu Mingqi continued: "One person or a team is serious or not, it needs faith to support it! I want to say that these Northern Navy fleets have the world in mind, and are carefully scrutinizing the news at any time and at any time for twelve hours a day, and paying attention at any time. I think you all won't believe it, right?"
Everyone present laughed.
Under Zhang Gongli's management and under Liu Renhuai's indirect jurisdiction, the Northern Navy was pretty good, but it was simply nonsense to talk about how dedicated they were to the people and the world was in mind.
It is very, very hard to investigate the huge sea day and night.
The Northern Navy definitely couldn't do this.
"So, we can think of a way to make them active." Liu Mingqi smiled, "For example, we set up a reward for the Northern Navy! As long as they can discover the Japanese fleet in advance, the earlier they discover, that is, the further away from our coastline, the more rewards they will receive.
They can't see the 1,000 taels of silver, and the 10,000 taels of silver may not have much effect, but if it can reach 100,000 taels of silver... do you believe it? They will definitely be staring at the sea all day long, and even a seagull will not let go!"
“Ah~”
A girl exclaimed, her eyes flashing.
After the other men and women looked at each other, they nodded slightly.
This motivation method is pretty good.
With the motivation for money, who doesn’t want to work hard?
Then, a young man said embarrassedly: "But who will pay for this money?"
"Of course, it was our merchants from Jiangnan who went together." Liu Mingqi said, "One hundred thousand taels are not too much. Everyone, give some, and I will collect them all. Finally, this money is placed with Governor Liu Renhuai. Are you still afraid that anyone will be greedy? Are you afraid that their Northern Navy will miss it?"
Everyone believes the next sentence.
Liu Renhuai is the best supervisor.
But what's ahead...
Everyone was silent and did not express their opinions.
If all the merchants in Jiangnan really came to make up, there would be no problem at all.
But the question is how much you give and how much he gives, is it that the rich give more, the poor give less, and even many people don’t give?
This old saying is too correct to not worry about lack of weight but not equality.
Not many people are willing to sacrifice their own interests for the benefit of others, so usually, people are in a mess.
Liu Mingqi smiled and continued: "In fact, this money is not necessarily limited to 100,000 taels of silver. Donating more can have the benefits of donating more! Isn't the Northern Navy very powerful? Let's set up another killing award for them.
For example, if you sink a small boat to sink a Japanese, you will give five taels of silver, sink a large boat to sink a ten thousand taels of silver, and the commander who kills the enemy will give another ten thousand taels of silver, killing more... If you don't have a cap, you are still worried about how many Japanese people can get ashore? That's not the case at all!
You all pay for the money and the Northern Navy will do it. This way, everyone has their own needs and gains. Isn’t it good?”
"hehe!"
Sima Jin smiled embarrassedly, but did not speak.
This is the same as the previous "intelligence reward".
It can even be said that the intelligence rewards may be completed, but the subsequent kill awards are not.
At first glance, it would cost at least a huge amount of hundreds of thousands or millions of silver. Who would be willing to pay so stupidly?
Unless you force everyone to leave, it's almost the same.
But Liu Renhuai would never be so shameless, and the court could not do so.
Because Jiangnan itself is the place with the highest taxes in the world, except for food, no place has higher taxes than here.
People in Jiangnan smiled bitterly while comforting themselves, "We can support our great health."
If you even have to force the levy to defend Jiangnan now, the people of Jiangnan will be completely disappointed.
When everyone was not talking, Liu Mingqi didn't care.
This matter was not so easy to deal with in ancient times, not to mention in modern times.
