Chapter 177: The happy heart, the flying clothes!
It took Zhang Xingba a full two quarters of an hour to finish the matters that need to be reported one by one.
Liang Pengfei handed the booklet to Bai Shusheng, his eyebrows slightly closed: "The four thousand people you brought will be studied and trained on Crab King Island for a while, and then I will be of great use. Also, the Lanfang Republic is wary of me, but it doesn't matter. I can't eat a fat man in one bite. When you go back, you only need to bring two thousand people with you."
"Remember, these two thousand people are only responsible for the safety of the capital dock of Lanfang Kingdom. This is what I agreed with Luo Fangbo, the general general of Lanfang Kingdom. From then on, we will gradually send more personnel... When we leave, we will transfer three more warships to the place. I don't want any accidents to happen in the central Luzon archipelago. Remember what I said, if people don't offend me, I won't offend me. If people offend me, I will kill him completely and ruin it! This is the style of our old Liang family, do you understand?" Liang Pengfei raised his eyebrows, as cold and sharp as two sharp knives.
"Yes, young master." Hearing Liang Pengfei's words with a fierce murderous intent, Zhang Xingba obeyed the order with stern.
The news brought by Zhang Xingba made Liang Pengfei feel relieved. The rapid development of the territory in Nanyang was enough to make Liang Pengfei feel relieved. As long as those Western colonists blatantly invaded in large numbers, with the troops of more than 10,000 people, they could be enough to defend.
The gold mine on Masbat Island has begun to be mined. In the southeast of Masbat Island, a hired Spanish prospecting expert also discovered a copper mine there. The veins are very shallow and the mining is very easy. This has to be said to be another wonderful news.
At least, although the monthly mining volume of 500 taels of gold is not large, it has already started a good start. After the copper mine is also developed, it will be even more beautiful. Various raw materials for daily necessities can at least be imported completely from other forces in Southeast Asia, which is a considerable expense.
Various factories and mines are under construction, and the natives have finally found a place to use their skills and contribute to the infrastructure of the modernization of the Chinese in Southeast Asia. A road connecting towns and two armed fortresses to the copper mines in the southeast is under rapid construction.
The Governor of Luzon asked Liang Pengfei to release the hostages, namely Princess Maria, the Spanish officers and soldiers, but Liang Pengfei was still delaying, but he had already released about 500 Spanish soldiers back to Luzon. After all, the Governor of Luzon had kept his promise and he could not regard his promise as fart.
Every month, Liang Pengfei would release a group, which at least gave the Governor of Luzon. However, Princess Maria, who was fascinated by Liang Pengfei's sweet words, was immersed in love, sent a letter to the Governor of Luzon. She also needed to insist on her missionary career in the mysterious East. Liang Pengfei, a pirate with gentlemanness, was very suitable to continue to serve as her guardian knight.
The Governor of Luzon seemed quite helpless about this. Since the prince stayed, what could he do? Could it be that he led the Spanish army, which was so pitiful that he had broken his backbone by the old Liang family, to attack Liang Pengfei?
Moreover, now, he also vaguely heard the rumors among the merchants who had traveled between Luzon and Guangzhou. Liang Pengfei, who was originally a pirate, actually became a senior official in the court in less than a year. The third-rank general of the Qing Dynasty was equivalent to a general who had a status greater than that of his small colonial governor.
No matter he climbed up by military achievements or by means, just from a pirate who could climb to such a high position in such a short time, this alone would be enough to make the Governor of Luzon dare not make any other ideas. Moreover, he also heard that Liang Pengfei was highly valued and favored by Fu Kangan, the important minister of the Qing Dynasty. Fu Kangan, who once commanded an army of more than 100,000 to wipe out the rebellion in the border areas of their country. When he thought of this number, Marcelo felt that his scalp was blown up. He dared to use so many troops just to wipe out a rebellion. It was a pity that how many troops there were in this country. He was even afraid of annoying this guy, which would bring irreparable losses to the kingdom's colonial plan at that time.
Therefore, he felt extremely grateful for his previous decision. Since he received the letter from His Royal Highness the Princess, all he had was deep helplessness.
"In fact, a young and promising general in the Qing Dynasty was enough to become the husband of His Highness the Princess." Marcelo, the governor of Luzon, took the princess' letter back into the envelope, and a trace of such thought flashed through his mind, and seemed to feel a bit ridiculous and smiled.
"Governor General, your friend has brought you the seeds you need." A waiter walked in outside the door, respectfully saluting to Marcelo, the Governor General of Luzon, and reported.
"Seed." Luzon Governor Marcelo was a little confused, and Xuan Ji reacted, and the smile on his face became extremely happy: "How much did he bring."
"A full hundred pounds of seeds, and two local indigenous gardeners who are best at planting and cultivating seedlings."
The waiter's reply made him extremely satisfied. "One hundred pounds, hahaha, my dear friend is really trustworthy. It seems that I should give the Qing general some good news."
Rather than saying it is good news for the other party, it is better to say it is good news for Marcelo himself. You know, Liang Pengfei once said that one pound of rubber seeds can be exchanged for one pound of gold. One hundred pounds of gold is enough for him to spend the rest of his life after returning to Spain and spend the rest of his life.
Liang Pengfei looked at the soldiers in the military camp, and a strange curve was bent at the corner of his mouth, as if he was laughing, and as if he was sarcastic. The newly recruited soldiers were still training vigorously in the military camp. In front of him, at the navy dock, a group of veterans were boarding the ship quietly, performing routine patrol missions every two months. However, after the mission was completed, the strokes that came back would undergo some changes, and the number of people was still the same, but the soldiers were not all the original soldiers.
His soldiers would take advantage of this rightful opportunity to sway in the nearby waters to exchange a group of soldiers. The soldiers they exchanged would quietly leave the barracks, and a very few would return to Guangzhou. Under the arrangement of the Liang family, they would enter the shops of the Lao Liang family in various southern provinces, become helpers, shopkeepers, or through introductions, and go to other industries.
Most of the remaining people will go to King Crab Island, where they will receive more intense brainwashing education and work hard to serve the Lao Liang family. Of course, the same number of soldiers will naturally appear to supplement them. Some of these people were quietly pulled from the clan school, and some were pirates from King Crab Island.
In short, under Liang Pengfei's plan, the words of the iron-clad soldiers who were free and flowing through the camps were perfectly interpreted by him and his confidants. And his immediate boss would come to patrol each battalion every two or three months. This kind of patrol, except for turning over the army list, looking at the navy's training, then eating and drinking a few nonsense, and saying a few loyal nonsense to serve the country, did not play a role in mission supervision at all. At least Liang Pengfei was very grateful to the Qing army for its long-standing corruption and slackness.
The Qing government's control of the army was extremely strict in the early stages, but after the middle and late stages, it could be described as almost a pool of mud. During the Qianlong period, it happened to be a period of decline and decay.
He trained a army of war for the court. He was full of bad water and wanted to knock the Qing tars down. He stepped on countless footprints with his stinky feet and threw them into the pit to soak them to death. Could Liang Pengfei, who was soaked in a pot, do that?
These soldiers could only obey his orders. Some things in their bones were being subtly moved by Liang Pengfei and quietly changed their ideas.
Under the influence of this concept, most people around Liang Pengfei just speculated that this young master Liang actually wanted to be a strange complex of officers, soldiers, thieves and merchants, and become a powerful and incompatible land overlord.
Only Liang Pengfei and a few people who vaguely guessed and inferred some of them. From the beginning, they seemed to have a little more anticipation and curiosity in their minds, and seemed to be watching the great Master Liang who created one miracle after another, how much shock and surprise can they bring to them?
Of course, the road will definitely not be smooth sailing, and it can be said to be extremely difficult. Moreover, there will be many, even extremely large numbers, that have allowed the Qing ruling class to remove the backbone of the Chinese nation, and the slave education has penetrated into their bones. People who have lost the dignity that a nation deserves will block his path, curse him, slander him, and even wish they could pounce on them and turn into evil dogs to bite themselves to pieces, and then return to their masters to shake their tails and sympathize in exchange for one or two bones, and continue to live in a world that is rotten like a garbage dump.
Therefore, you must be cautious, but you must be bolder and greedy. You must be more despicable, more vicious, and more cruel than your enemies, so that you can succeed.
As a time traveler, I have already chewed this history that has caused countless Chinese nations to bleeding their bodies, minds and even souls. Since I have the opportunity to break the unfair social system of a few people to protect their privileges and try my best to enslave the vast majority of people, why not do it?
"There are always many unfairnesses in this world. Perhaps because of my appearance, these unfairnesses will not only not decrease, but even more accidents will occur. However, if we do not change and let history continue, why should I go like this?
