Chapter 955 Tobacco Leaf
Therefore, Liu Xingzuo immediately said: "Let's not be too optimistic. Our Xunan Town is just a powerful military town. It depends on the support of friends from all sides. But if we really want to go to war with the pirates in Haibei, then everything depends on our own ability. So I have a general charter and want to hear everyone's thoughts?"
His little cousin Liu Xingchang over there immediately said: "Sir General, tell me how to deal with the pirates in Haibei!"
Liu Xingzuo said confidently: "If you want to deal with the pirates in Haibei, you must have external connections and strong support. Whether it is friends in the north or west, we must cooperate well."
As we all know, the so-called "friends from the north" are either others or Jiannu. Only when the war between Haibei Town starts on both sides of Haibei Town can Xunan Town have a chance of victory, otherwise Haibei Town will solve Xunan Town with the force of Mount Tai.
Therefore, everyone said that Liu Xingzuo was right: "Yes, at the critical moment, you still have to rely on friends from the north to launch the campaign at the same time as us, but it may not be enough to have the support of friends from the north. General, what else can I do?"
For Liu Xingzuo, his most powerful allies now are Yao Zheng and the Xuzhou Governor General, who are in Xuzhou. He feels that he is very sure to win over the force of the Haibei Army.
But this kind of thing cannot be said on the spot in front of so many people, so Liu Xingzuo said vaguely: "And the pirates in Haibei are not the same as ironclad. We have to find ways to differentiate the pirates in Haibei, and... we have to work together with General Zheng Zhilong. We will start the army on land. General Zheng Zhilong will rise at sea and will definitely achieve something big!"
Although many generals of Xunan Town expressed their dissatisfaction with Liu Xingzuo's words, many generals of Xunan Town felt that this method was OK. With Yuan Chonghuan's strong support, everyone felt that Xunan Town had a way out. Liu Xingchang continued on the other side: "The key is whether we can get support from the south!"
It is naturally Nanjing to the south. The imperial court not only set up Governor Yingtian here, but also set up a relatively complete set of central institutions in Nanjing, including the Six Ministry of Nanjing and the Nanjing Sili Supervisor. If Xu Nanzhen obtains support from Nanjing, it will naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Liu Xingzuo immediately said: "This is exactly the direction we will strive for. Now all prefectures and counties in the world are building temples for Wei Zhongxian and Wei eunuchs. Our Xunan Town must not be behind. Every prefecture, county, and even every town and township must build a temple for Wei eunuchs, so that the court can understand that our Xunan Town has always been loyal to the court and let Nanjing provide me with some support!"
"As long as Nanjing provides support to our Xunan Town in accordance with the efforts of Governor Yuan of Liaodong, I think the big thing is expected!"
Liu Xingzuo's statement may be a bit optimistic, but these civil and military officials in Xunan Town all felt that he was very clear. Now that with support from all aspects, Governor Nanjing and Yingtian provided another batch of money, grain and military equipment to support him. Where can the world go, let alone a small Haibei Town.
Even confronting ten Haibei Towns is not a problem, but Wu Keshan's idea is completely different from those of Xu Nan Town's officers. After he returned from Haibei Town, he became a true staunch supporter of Haibei Town.
In the past, Wu Keshan had no intuitive understanding of the strength of Haibei Town. He always thought that Haibei Town was just a powerful warlord of the Ming Dynasty. However, after a trip to Longkou, visiting the workshops of the Han people, the mines and towns, and then comparing them with the Jinguo Fortress and the Ming Dynasty towns in Wu Keshan's heart, Wu Keshan believed that the rise of Haibei Town was unstoppable, and this time he did not send his two sisters there was a big mistake.
Therefore, while he pestered his father and grandfather every day, he firmly demanded to marry his two sisters to Liu Peng, he devoted himself to the construction of Tongliao New City.
Although many people in Korqin think that building such a town in Korqin that is mixed with Han and Mongolia is self-destructive, Wu Keshan personally took over the work, and this Korqin New City, which is several miles apart, can be built as soon as possible.
However, during the process of building the city, Wu Keshan felt for the first time that the strength of Haibei Town was so terrible, even far beyond his imagination. Korqin was mostly outside the Great Wall, but after decades of use, he still couldn't build such a big city.
However, it took only two or three months for the Han people to take roughly the formation of the Korqin New City. Although it will take several years for the complete construction of this Tongliao City, in Wu Keshan's eyes, this is simply a miracle among miracles, even more exaggerated than miracles, which made him feel how terrible the war potential of Haibei Town is.
The Great Jin Kingdom was able to give out hundreds of armor for her two sisters as bride gifts, which was already the greatest sincerity of the Great Jin Kingdom, but Haibei Town used a big city as Korqin's bride gifts. Moreover, many tools and methods were beyond Wu Keshan's understanding when building the city, but these tools and methods were so easy to use, allowing Korqin to build it as soon as possible.
What is even more exaggerated is the many benefits brought by this Tongliao New City. Although Korqin was a major tribe outside the border in the past, it has been difficult to develop over the years and has been suppressed by other Mongolian tribes. Now Wu Keshan can proudly announce that Korqin has at least become the economic center of Mongolian tribes.
Haibei Town not only sent several caravans and a garrison of hundreds of people, but also many Han business names and workshops have opened in the city during the construction of this Korqin New City.
Although some shops were even just temporary straw sheds, they transported everything Korqin and the Mongols needed, from needles and thread to saddles and horseshoes, and even Lin Danhan's men came to Korqin to buy everything they needed.
And more importantly, several workshops opened by the Han people. It is precisely because of these workshops that Korqin became the economic center of the entire Mongolian Central Plains. They can carry out dazzling deep processing of various Mongolian specialties.
Although this "deep processing" in the eyes of Wu Keshan is just the most standard "simple processing" in the eyes of merchants in Haibei Town, it is of extraordinary significance to the Korqin tribe. Originally, these Mongolian specialties had to travel thousands of miles to the Han area for processing, and then returned to the Mongolian grassland from the Han area, which eventually led to Korqin suffering forever in trade with the Han people.
However, on-site processing not only solves the urgent needs of the Mongolians, but also makes the Mongolians' quality of life a qualitative leap. What made Wu Keshan happiest is that there are not only many businesses and workshops in Korqin City, but also the semicolons of Haibei Money House.
For Wu Keshan and the Mongolian nobles, this is what they need most. Haibei Money House can even help them catch the stars in the sky, not to mention that they just borrowed some silver from Haibei Money House.
It is precisely with the loans and services of Haibei Money House that their lives are so wonderful. Now Wu Keshan's life is both the arrogant and luxurious Mongolian tradition and the light luxury and high-quality life of Haibei Town.
Just to repay the debts of Haibei Money House, they had to bring in more Mongolian tribes and nobles to earn enough commissions from Haibei Money House.
Moreover, the Korqin nobles, including Wu Keshan, soon discovered that Haibei Money House could not only ensure that they had extremely high-quality luxury life, provide all the luxury goods they needed and did not need, but also help them deal with any Mongolian tribe who refused to obey Korqin, even behind them were Lin Danhan and the Great Jin Kingdom.
The Haibei Money House has an amazing energy on the Korqin grassland. Many conspiracies against Korqin have been defeated before they were launched. Sometimes they are just ready for the conspiracy against Korqin, but the Haibei Money House can instigate Korqin's allies and enemies to go over to conquer.
The Haibei Money House plays a much stronger role than the dispatch team of Wang Qifeng. Now even Obakhan is moving closer to the Mangus and Congor.
However, Wu Keshan was just a standard Mongolian and didn't understand so many truths at all. He only knew that there was a reason to drink and get drunk today. He took a deep breath of enjoyment: "This batch of tobacco is indeed a good thing, will Team Wang take a sip?"
Wang Qifeng said proudly: "I have a bite, of course I have to have a few bites! This is really enjoyable!"
What they are now tasting is a brand new luxury goods transported from Haibei Town. The legendary tobacco leaves transported from the Americas. Many Mongolian nobles, including Wu Keshan, fell in love with the taste of tobacco at the first time. Under Wu Keshan's push, tobacco has become a necessity for life in many tribes like salt.
In fact, Wu Keshan did not expect that tobacco would be so in line with the taste of the Mongolians. Now the high-ranking officials and nobles from all Mongolian tribes would get a few boxes of good tobacco leaves during the holidays. They would have no fun without sing tobacco leaves during the New Year and the holidays. In the tobacco leaf business that was accidentally started in Haibei Town, Wu Keshan also gained huge benefits, but unfortunately he was not the one who made the most profits.
Every time he talks about this, Wu Keshan regrets it so much that he slapped his thigh. Didn’t he just marry his daughter and sister to Governor Liu Pengliu?
Governor Liu Peng and Governor Liu are also my brother-in-law. Why do I earn much less money than them? If I had known this was the case, he would have forced his two sisters to marry together with a knife.
But it’s too late to regret now, Wu Keshan can only hope to open the gap from Wang Qifeng: "Captain Wang, can you give me more tobacco leaves? You probably don’t know how pretty the tobacco leaves are on our grassland. Having tobacco leaves is equivalent to having a silver bill!"
