Lord of the House - v12 Chapter 38

Lin Fu only named Gu Tianqiao and his family to move to Jeju, but there are many things that need to be understood.

For the Gu family, relocating to Jeju is a wise choice to protect one’s life without sacrificing interests, so why squeeze in Jiangning?

Since late June, Gu Tianqiao has been rectifying and shrinking the tea and rice industries under his name.

Over the years, only eight or nine people from the Gu clan who have taken care of Gu Tianqiao’s business in teahouses, rice shops, and other industries have gained their trust and support. As soon as the storm season passed, Gu Tianqiao sent these people, together with their families, to Jeju to settle down, also to support the situation there first. Even if there were some people who were unwilling to leave Jiangning, Gu Tianqiao told them to go out and establish their own businesses.

Even the eldest son, Gu Chennian, who just turned eighteen years old, also graduated from Jiangning Public School ahead of schedule and asked Gu Tianqiao to send him to Jeju to study under Zhao Shuhan.

Gu Tianqiao himself, waited until the first ten days of October, when the Lin Zhengjun-class iron skeleton ship he snatched from the Nanyang Shipping Society had finished its trial voyage and was officially delivered. Lin Fu said goodbye and left Jiangning.

Because the traitor Su Tingzhan was officially appointed as the Admiral of Yanhu Dengzhou Navy after May. Relying on the sea-locking defense line constructed by Nahexiongqi between Dengzhou and Jinzhou, it sent naval warships to infiltrate and invade the southern sea area in a small range, and attacked merchant ships in the sea area in the southeast of Shandong Peninsula and before the Korean Peninsula. The main team is to engage in encounters and guerrilla warfare with the Huaidong Navy warships.

In addition to harassing the normal trade between Jianghuai and the Haidong region, Su Tingzhan’s main purpose is to train troops in this way. However, Su Tingzhan also clearly understood the gap between Huaidong and Huaidong on the warships, so he strictly ordered the navy under his command to evacuate decisively after a little contact with the warships of the Jinghai Division. navigation caused great disturbance.

After September, the Military Staff Department officially designated the waters north of Changshan Island as a war zone, and all maritime exchanges with the Haidong area were limited to the waters south of Changshan Island.

Gu Tianqiao took a boat from Chongzhou to the sea, went south to Mingzhou, then took the wind to cross the sea to the east, passed the waters near Kagoshima, and then turned north to Jeju. Although it takes two more days to drift at sea compared to the direct flight, the Yanhu Dengzhou navy has not been able to penetrate into the waters south of Changshan Island, so it is much safer.

****************

After September, encounters in the southeastern waters of the Shandong Peninsula became more and more frequent, and the other was that after Ye Jibaishi led his troops into Korea and joined forces with the Minister of State of Korea, Zuo Jing, he actively launched a counterattack in Korea. Within half a month, Push the front south to the Asan line.

The Zhen’s Haiyang Army was surrounded by tens of thousands of Koryo king troops in Qingyang City, an important town in the northern foothills.

Asan is a horizontal mountain system that arises from the Taebaek Mountains in the central and southern parts of the Goryeo Peninsula and goes directly to the East China Sea. The mountain passes through; Asan is actually the natural defense line at the outermost periphery of Hanyang County, the capital of Korea.

Zhen Feng started his army from Haiyang, and he also took advantage of Zuo Jing and the princes and ministers in the royal court of Goryeo to capture Asan in one fell swoop. Only with a weaker force could he establish an evenly matched pattern with the Wang army, and then take the Shannan and Shanyou on the right flank. The other places were included in the bag, so that the territory under their control accounted for one-third of the entire Goryeo Peninsula.

Asan is related to the next development direction of the Goryeo war situation. Once Qingyang City falls, the Haiyang Army will give up a large tract of land north of Gyeongyu Mountain. Attracting the main force of the King Goryeo army to the south of Hanyang County allowed the Haiyang Army to send a partial division, from the east wing of the Taebaek Mountains to the north, bypassing Hanyang County, and disrupting the control of the state minister Zuo Jing on the northeastern region of Goryeo.

Under such circumstances, Hu Qiaoguan, Yu Wenbei and others led the newly-organized Lu Qi03 township division, and under the cover of naval warships, they landed on the Yashan Peninsula in advance, and started from the northwestern foot of Yashan to the east to contain and encircle Qingyang. The King of Goryeo in the city.

The Asan Peninsula is a long tongue-shaped peninsula that extends into the East China Sea and turns south. The area is slightly smaller than the Songura Peninsula on Kyushu Island.

The Asan Peninsula is dominated by hills, and the bay formed by the peninsula and the land cliff is a natural haven. This is not only the westernmost line of Asan, but also the closest point of the entire Goryeo Peninsula to the Shandong Peninsula.

In addition to the land route that can directly attack the barrier Puchengfu in the southwest of Hanyang, the capital of Goryeo, bypassing the Pucheng Peninsula in the north is Hanyang Bay on the east side of the capital of Goryeo. The sea route is only 250 miles away from the mouth of the Han River; The sea-locking line of defense built between the eastern tip of Liaoning Province is only one thousand kilometers, which is nearly six or seven hundred kilometers than the sea-locking line of defense that the naval warships set off from Haizhou to attack Yanhu.

As early as when the Haiyang Army was in control of Asan, Ma Yigong ordered Ge Changgen to build a water village on the Asan Peninsula as the advance base for the Haidong army.

Of course, the materials needed for the Haidong camp army to build the water village on the Asan Peninsula were mainly provided by Zhen Feng;

In the later stage, with the expansion of the Haiyang Army and the intensification of the war, the area controlled by the Zhen family has actually been tapped to the extreme for war mobilization potential.

In the stalemate stage of the war, it is difficult for the Zhen Clan to increase the resources that can be greatly increased, and it is very difficult to support their own armaments, and it is difficult to support the expansion of Yashan Water Village. The previous scale of Yashanzhai simply could not meet the needs of the expanded Haidong battalion and military deployment.

In May, Zhen Feng went to Haizhou to meet Lin Fu in person, and the secret contract signed by Haizhou included a basket of military aid terms.

In the early days, Huaidong Bank provided a military loan of one million silver dollars alone, and it also increased to Huaidong Bank and the Zhuangshang Bank to jointly provide two million silver dollars; this silver money was mainly to help the expansion of the Haiyang Army, but the actual It is also the main purchase of armour and weapons produced in Huaidong.

The two Yinzhuang will also provide an additional loan of one million silver dollars to help Haiyang County open more iron mines, coal mines, plant cotton fields in a large area, and build primary iron smelting factories, so as to increase the return of Haiyang County. ability to breathe.

At the same time, Lin Fu decided not to occupy the resources of the Haiyang Army, but to allocate a huge amount of money from the Privy Council to build Yashanzhai into a permanent military station for the large-scale use of troops from Yashan by the Haidong Army.

As compensation, the lease period of the Asan Peninsula will be increased to 500 years, so that Huaidong will use the Asan Peninsula to build a free trade port in the southwest of the Goryeo Peninsula in the later period, so as to make up for the huge amount of capital Huai was in the construction of cities, ports and military. amount of investment.

For the Zhen family, if they lose the battle, their family will be destroyed, and if they win, they will control the entire Goryeo Peninsula. Why would they care about ceding the Asan Peninsula and Jeju Island to Huaidong? How can they care that they will return hundreds of thousands of silver dollars each year to Huaidong Bank and Zhushang Bank?

In the same way, Huaidong Qianzhuang, Zhuangshang Yinzhuang, the military department, and the Privy Council have invested so many resources in Zhen’s body.

Of course, the Koryo civil war was a prelude to Huaidong’s expedition and expelling captives out of the Central Plains. In any case, Lin Fu had to fight with all his strength. Huaidong and Zhen’s interests were in the same direction at this time, and they could make extra money. Going back to this book is also good.

With the increasing frequency of wars in the later period, Lin Fu sent Gao Zongting to Haizhou as early as the first ten days of September in order to grasp the situation in the Goryeo and Xusi theaters as early as the first ten days of September to form the Northern Command Headquarters. Lin Bie was also delayed by various affairs, and it was not until the late autumn season in mid-October that he was able to set off and rush to Haizhou to personally preside over the work of the Northern Command.

Jiangning’s military and political affairs were led by the Privy Council and the Military Staff Department. Lin Fu also officially authorized the government meeting chaired by Lin Tingli. During his absence in Jiangning, he was responsible for supervising the military and political affairs of the Privy Council and the Military Staff Department.

The government of the public government has gradually formed a stable system. Although Emperor Yongxing and Empress Dowager Liang nominally still hold the highest state government of the Southern Dynasty, led by Zhang Yan, Shen Rong and others, the imperial party still has remnants of power in Jiangning. But it has been excluded from the central government.

There is no way to intervene in military and political affairs, and power will naturally be completely overhead.

********************

October is said to be late autumn, and Haizhou has quietly entered winter.

The yellow leaves are falling, and the rice fields on both sides of the road are harvested one after another, leaving stubble in the endless fields. Occasionally, three or five farmers can be seen driving cattle and horses in the fields to restore the fields so that they can plant wheat before winter. .

Xiaoman slammed his chin on the soft window, looking out at the fields outside the car.

After going ashore from Shanyang, Xiaoman has been sitting in the carriage for three days, slowly heading north, looking at the roughly similar scenery outside the car window every day, but Xiaoman doesn’t get tired of it. It’s also the reason why I’ve lived in Jiangning’s deep house for too long, and when I go out again, I feel fresh every time I look at it.

Lin Fu leaned on the soft couch, held the roll in his hand, and bent his legs quite comfortably; all kinds of official letters were handed over to Su Mei to sit next to him for his approval-a special carriage, covered with iron plates to enhance the protection against stabbing. Yu, what is more important is to make it extremely spacious, so that Lin Fu, Su Mei, and Xiaoman are all in the car, and I don’t feel any inconvenience.

The Northern Command is now presided over by Gao Zongting, and Lin Fu really doesn’t want to rush to Haizhou. Lin Fu also hadn’t rested for a long time. After going ashore from Shanyang, he walked on the road for three days and just arrived at the edge of Haizhou Tun District.

“Ah! What is that thing?” Xiaoman, who was lying at the window watching the scenery for a long time, suddenly saw something new, and turned around and asked Lin Bie.

Lin Bie looked out, but it was an iron pear cart in the field that aroused Xiaoman’s surprise. He smiled and said, “It’s just a iron pear cart, and it caused a koan before. It’s just that you didn’t remember it, you insisted on seeing the real thing. , was amazed…”

In the cultivated land in the south, cattle are mostly used, and horses are extremely rare; it is not that horses are not suitable for cultivation.

Farming cattle and farming horses have their own advantages and disadvantages. Cattle farming is slow, but the cost of materials is low. There are few fertile fields in the south, and farmers are intensively cultivated. Each household has more than ten or twenty mu of land, and cattle farming is sufficient.

Horses plough the land faster than oxen, and although they are more efficient, they cost much more than oxen; and the traditional economic model and the terrain of the rivers in the south limit the requirements for carriage by horses and carts. Therefore, in the south, where there are many people and few land and dense rivers, horse breeding will naturally be eliminated.

During the battle of Jingxiang, the army seized a large number of war horses and camel goods and horses, which were more than the Huaidong Army’s own needs, so a large number of horses were distributed to various villages.

There are craftsmen in the Machinery Manufacturing Division who imitated the craftsmanship of Western Thailand to create a new type of iron pear cart. In addition to the pear knife, there are wheels on both sides. This new type of iron pear cart can be used by horses and horses with strong feet and fast feet. It can pear 70 to 80 acres of land a day, and the efficiency is five or six times that of cattle pear land.

In Xinkentun District, there are still a lot of people and few land. This kind of iron pear carts and plow horses are naturally very suitable for use in the Tun District, and they will soon be popularized.

However, there was also a koan case on the iron pear car…

When Lin Bie was in Chongzhou in his early years, he directly offered rewards in the name of the Neifu to reward the development of various practical new technologies.

After coming to the government, Lin Fu directly set up a new technology reward system under the name of the Machinery Manufacturing Company: First, he was responsible for issuing rewards directly to the people in the name of the government~www.mtlnovel.com~ to encourage the military and civilians to develop Huaidong Institute The second is to accept the reporting of various new technologies, forcing factory owners, industrial and mining owners, etc. who adopt new technologies, to pay a certain percentage of rewards to the inventors of new technologies.

The iron pear car is made by the craftsmen of the machine manufacturing company directly by imitating the pear car technology passed down from Western Thailand. Although it is very practical, it cannot be regarded as a new technology.

Whether or not to pay the reward for the new iron pear car is also controversial within the Privy Council. He went to the government meeting and finally ruled that all new technologies introduced from overseas should be included in the scope of rewards.

This conclusion is actually beneficial to the outward expansion of forces such as Heishuiyang and Nanyang Shipping Society.

As the channel extends outward, they can come into contact with an endless stream of novel overseas craftsmanship. As long as they are imported into China, they can get rewards. Why not do it?

Of course, Lin Fu’s original intention is also the same. Whether it is a new invention or imported from overseas, as long as it can promote the development of new technologies and new learning in China, it should naturally be within the scope of the reward.

It’s just that the current conditions are not mature, the protection period of new technologies, the proportion of rewards, etc., including reporting and supervision, there are big loopholes and disputes, everything is still crude, and there is no way to directly formulate a comprehensive patent law. In the form of a new technology reward pattern, do some preliminary work first.

Since the beginning of this year, many of the things that Lin Fu has done are preliminary work. They are to adjust the upcoming new empire in the direction of the new pattern, and to form a strict and stable system, not just three or five. year to be successful.

Xiaoman’s mind quickly diverged. He was still curious about Tie Liche at the front, and then asked Su Mei uncertainly, “Will Mrs. Qiao Guo not welcome us to Haizhou?” My QT room is now open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
