Sun Jingting, Wang Jingzhong and others were watching the situation in front of them. Sun Jingting said to the Han Channel: "I heard that the scenery in Taiwan is better, right?"

Han Tong replied respectfully: "It is true that I have been there once. The sky and sea water over there are blue, and there is no side to see. The beach is white and the island is full of green, which is much better than the environment here."

"Well, there are already tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians over there." Sun Jingting said with some melancholy: "I, as a political official, should go over and take a look."

Korean Channel: "Do you feel something about it?"

"It does." Sun Jingting said: "Before, logging and transportation and everything on the island were just reading the text. Today, I saw it with my own eyes and realized that it was not easy for people on Pi Island, and even more difficult for military and civilians in our branch. I know that many of these woods were cut down by military personnel and people from the 12th Regiment. I didn't care much before, but now I know how difficult it is!"

Indeed, the situation presented to Sun Jingting is enough to prove how risky the 12th Regiment and military personnel were and how much effort they had put in.

Each wood looks like a giant, and the smallest specification is for five people to hug each other. Sun Jingting knew that it is not easy to cut oak wood. Sometimes it is found in deep mountains and dense forests. Each wood may require hundreds of people to transport it out. Fortunately, there are several waterways that can save manpower, otherwise the transportation cost alone will increase several times.

When the Ming Dynasty built a palace, it cut down golden nanmu from the deep mountains and dense forests in the southwest. It was also a giant tree that several people hugged. Each piece of wood cost tens of thousands of taels of silver to transport it to the capital. Now Hutchison is fortunate that there are waterways and sea transportation. Otherwise, I could only sigh. Not to mention that there is no such much silver, even if there is silver, there is no way to mobilize more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians to cut down and transport it like the court, and it would not take up that time.

"Sir," Han Tong then said: "These woods will be loaded on ships tomorrow and the next day, and they will probably be able to leave the port and go south with the ships."

"Yes." Sun Jingting nodded. He focused his eyes on the fleet at Jiangkou, and had no time to say anything else.

...

"Sun Jingting?"

Mao Wenlong, whose temples were white, sat upright in the middle seat. Beside him were Chen Jisheng, Mao Chenglu, Shen Yourong and other confidant generals. After listening to the report from a junior school student, Mao Wenlong didn't care and waved his hand and said, "We don't have to worry about him. Although he heard that this person is in the position of Hutchison, he is only under Zhang Han and Li Shenming, since he has not come to visit me, why should I invite him over?"

"Besides, there is nothing to say between us and Huji." Mao Chenglu's mouth twitched, and he obviously remembered the old hatred of being bombarded by his house.

It is quite difficult to build houses on Pi Island. Mao Chenglu finally built the house on the island, but it was bombarded by Li Pingzhi and Zhang Xuwen and the Zhenlu Guard. It has not been rebuilt yet. It has only cleaned up one or two small courtyards for temporary residence. The commander of the Dongjiang Governor General Herald Guard. The living environment is the pattern of a small landlord in Zhili. This is called how Mao Chenglu can not hold grudges.

Chen Jisheng frowned and said, "It seems that there is no way for us to build ships. Now we can only master some warships with one or two cannons. In comparison, Hutchison's warship has dozens of cannons, and we are not sure about fighting at sea. Fortunately, they are fighting with the Red-haired Yi people in the south and will not be able to get out of their way for a while. But be careful in everything. If it is not necessary, we still have to maintain the current relationship with Hutchison. The unnecessary fight will only make others cheaper."

Mao Wenlong narrowed his eyes and listened. Of course, his generals were also fighting for power and profit. Now whoever can get Mao Wenlong's recognition and gain more benefits, the possibility of inheriting Dongjiang General in the future is greater.

Mao Wenlong's son is only a few years old now, and Mao Wenlong is nearly 60 years old. No matter what, he can't ask his son to take over the position as soon as possible. He chooses a loyal and capable heir, first become one or two generals, and then pass it on to his son. This is a plan that everyone understands in their hearts.

In terms of loyalty, of course, everyone should try their best to show their strengths. As for ability, the Eight Immortals usually show their magical powers. As soon as Mao Chenglu finished speaking, Chen Jisheng expressed his different position from him. Although Chen Jisheng's defense zone and the 12th regiment overlap, they must have a good relationship. At a deeper level, it is obvious that it should be distinguished from Mao Chenglu and maintain a different position.

Mao Wenlong did not intervene, but still kept his frowning expression. He pointed to the several copies of the mansions on the case in front of him and said, "I won't talk about the matters we can't deal with for the time being. But there is one thing that is not allowed to expand the territory of the settlement, nor are they allowed to absorb more escaped people. The escaped people can be transported away for them. Those who are not satisfied with food will not be left, but they must never ask them to expand the settlement and recruit escaped people in the Kuandian area."

"What the Grandmaster said is."

"What the adoptive father said is very true."

This time everyone present expressed their support. Hutchison's financial and material resources were shocking. The shortcomings lie in the manpower. If they could be given enough space to recruit exiles in Kuandian area, train troops, and equipped a 20,000 war soldiers with Hutchison's financial resources. Dongjiang Town said that it was claimed to have more than 100,000 war soldiers, but in fact, there were only 30,000 elite war soldiers. Now Hutchison has more than 30,000 war soldiers in Kuandian. This is the limit number that Mao Wenlong and others can accommodate. Both sides have the power to check and balance each other. If Hutchison continues to recruit people to expand their troops, Mao Wenlong feels that Hutchison's threat is much greater than that of Jianlu, so he will definitely stick to this point, and even hesitate to tear apart with Hutchison and break up a comprehensive war.

Mao Wenlong ignored everyone and pointed at the diary and continued, "Look, this is the important matter."

"What the Grand Marshal said about the Censor Li Fan attacking Sun Ge's troops?"

"right."

Chen Jisheng thought, "It is common for the Censor to attack the Lord of the Pavilion. Now the court is full of Wei Zhongxian's party. Donglin is defeated and everyone is begging Eunuch Wei everywhere. The Pavilion is from Donglin, and it is hard to hold on. This time it is the wind that starts at the end of Qingping. It seems that the eunuch party wants to attack the general and must pull the Lord of the Pavilion."

"It's quite clever." Mao Wenlong snorted coldly and said, "I'm starting from two places now, both of which are all in the eyes of the emperor. One is that it's too boring. I used five million a year ago, but now it's more than four million. If I'm not frugal, it's equivalent to Ji Liao taking 40% to 50% of the annual color-saving income of the imperial court. How can this happen?"

Chen Jisheng agreed quite well, nodded vigorously, and continued, "There are nearly two million soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, and there are more than nine hundred thousand on the nine sides. Why does Ji Liao's more than 140,000 troops take away millions of silver? The Lord of the Pavilion has built many military forts, but how to calculate it, at least 30% to 40% of the silver has fallen into the hands of the generals in western Liaoning. The Lord of the Pavilion also knows it. In order to revitalize local confidence and make the generals safe and secure the territory, it is also worthy of giving them some benefits appropriately... In addition, there is no silver, and the generals have no intention or financial resources to store the inner court. The Lord of the Pavilion also understands in his heart that in the war, the generals and inner courts still have to rely on the generals and inner courts. The generals without the inner court are the tigers with their teeth pulled out. If the eight thousand inner courts of the Li family are still there, what else can I worry about in the Liao affairs now? However, the people in the court are either really confused or pretend to be confused!"

Mao Wenlong agreed quite well. Dongjiang's combat power was not enough because the upper and lower levels were still poor. Mao Wenlong tried his best to do so. Now there are only a few hundred thousand in his hands. Generals from all levels were still looking at the silver, hoping that Mao Wenlong would give it a share with him with an order... Of course, this is impossible. Mao Wenlong also used the ability of each general and the size of the territory he occupied, and the strength of the troops required to allocate resources. In the past two years, in addition to the treasury issued by Emperor Tianqi, there were also the food supplemented by Dengzhou. Dongjiang Town did not have any additional income, and every tael of silver had to be calculated. Now, those who can get Mao Wenlong's support to expand the number and quality of his own people, that is, the few people in front of him, including Zhang Pan from Lushun, Mao Youjun from Tieshan, and Mao Yongshi and the rest. Everything can only be achieved by themselves.

Perhaps because of this reason, the Liaoxi generals had only Needians besides the main generals. Dongjiang Town was not well-trained by the lack of money, and Dongjiang Town had even greater training for generals at all levels. Since then, Dongjiang Town has been considered a famous general. If it weren't for the gap in equipment, even Kong Youde was very strong after the Wuqiao Mutiny in Dengzhou, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry from Liaoxi may not be the opponent of the Dongjiang soldiers.

"This time I took action very well." Mao Wenlong sighed again.

Mao Wenlong has been studying the struggles in power in the court, and he has consciously understood the psychology of these top-level figures. In his opinion, there is nothing extraordinary about civil officials in terms of ethics and character. He is even more despised by these incompetent people who are well-read in poetry and books. They are timid and suspicious, and they will also fight for small profits, just like a group of wild dogs fighting for bones. As long as they give them some benefits and coercion, these guys are just a group of cords with nothing to fear.

Chen Jisheng looked through Di Zhuan: "Li Fan's attack cost too much and no size, which is called Sun Ge's tribe unable to defend himself. He can't say that there are countless forts built in 200 miles of Futu in recent years? The imperial court had to fight for wars, and it was always soft-mouthed if he didn't fight. Another thing is that Guo Xingzhi, the military department's military department, raised the issue of Sun Ge's tribe's possible embezzlement of military pay, and of course he also spoke about his lack of military merits. Then he pointed out that the Lord of the Pavilion might have gained his personal pockets, and openly proposed to ask the Lord of the Pavilion to take office. This was unimaginable a year ago, and the eunuchs were also trying to find it."

Mao Chenglu and others stared at each other, and they were far inferior to Chen Jisheng in this regard.

Mao Wenlong nodded secretly, and had some conspiracy in his heart.

"What do you think?" Mao Wenlong turned to Chen Yourong, Mao Chenglu and others.
