Chapter 1352 Ignorance of current affairs

The Ma family in Majiazhuang is considered a powerful local clan in Fushan County, and naturally has a lot of properties. In addition to several miles of land around Majiazhuang, it is now cooperating with Haihan in business affairs and has purchased all in Dengzhou and Laizhou.

Many real estates are used to store goods, open shops, etc. If these lands and real estates need to be liquidated, it will not be a matter of time. Moreover, is it safe to go to the south with a large amount of money after liquidation, and how to invest in real estate.

, resettling clan members is something that the Ma family must consider in advance.

Although Chen Yixin has a high status in the Haihan Kingdom, he is only a general who leads troops on overseas expeditions. It is difficult for him to directly intervene in matters such as resettlement of immigrants. Therefore, the Ma family has always been hesitant about moving south.

Wait and see attitude.

Although Ma Yuling did not elaborate on the reason, Chen Yixin had already thought of it. Chen Yixin was silent for a moment and then said: "Do you know where Kaohsiung Port is?"

Chen Yixin suddenly mentioned this irrelevant geographical knowledge, which made Ma Yuling a little surprised, but she had already become accustomed to Chen Yixin asking questions from time to time these days, so she still nodded and said: "Kaohsiung Port is in the southern part of Taiwan Island, it is... three

A port started to be built years ago.”

"I have a good memory." Chen Yixin praised Ma Yuling's answer before getting down to business: "I have a good friend who is working as a civil affairs official in Kaohsiung Port. If the Ma family is willing to move there, I can let him

We will try our best to take care of them in all aspects, and we can also provide convenience when purchasing property and land.”

The "good friend" Chen Yixin refers to is naturally Li Dou, who is currently in charge of Kaohsiung Port. The two are similar in age and have been friends since the early days of time travel. Later, they worked together on Dawanshan Island, Hong Kong Island, Penghu and other places.

, have experienced many ups and downs together, and the friendship is naturally deep. Although the two have almost no chance to meet each other in the past two years, they still keep in touch through letters. When Chen Yixin held a wedding here in Shandong, although Li Dou was not there due to the long distance,

Although he was able to come to participate, he sent a whole boatload of local Kaohsiung local specialties to Shandong in his own name. This kind of gesture also impressed several local bosses.

If Chen Yixin wants to arrange for his father-in-law's family to settle in the south, then the Kaohsiung area currently governed by Li Dou is undoubtedly a good choice. The area is still in the development period, and the demand for Han immigrants is very large. In terms of resettlement treatment,

It is also more relaxed than Hainan Island, such as naturalization, property purchase, land purchase, etc., the threshold is much lower. If it is a situation like Majiazhuang where the whole family moves south, Li Douda can relax the immigration resettlement terms.

Let them form a new village on their own in the local area. Whether they operate a plantation or a collective farm, within a few years, the Ma family will definitely become one of the large local clans.

However, Chen Yixin is not in a hurry to facilitate this matter. After all, a considerable part of Haihan's local trade affairs in Shandong are now handled by the Ma family. If the Ma family all moves to the south, it will be difficult to find a suitable replacement for a while.

He is now just providing an option to the Ma family through Ma Yuling to show that he is also very concerned about this matter.

Ma Yuling said: "If my family and I move to the south, what about you?"

Chen Yixin thought to himself that you were waiting for me here, and immediately advised: "Of course I want to go back to the south, but now I have a mission, so I can't just leave. No matter what, I have to deal with the matters in Shandong first."

Let’s talk about it later.”

Although he said that, Chen Yixin knew very well in his heart that this was just an excuse. Haihan had great plans in Northeast Asia, and the Shandong base was just the initial foothold. In the next few years, Haihan will use this as his

foundation, expanding the control area to the surrounding areas, and the military will play a huge role in this process, how can he easily give up these opportunities to make contributions? Even if he has a lovely wife and beautiful family, even if he has wavered in the process, Chen Yixin

Still can't completely give up on my career ambitions.

After dealing with today's armed conflict, Chen Yixin confirmed one thing, that is, his desire to lead troops to fight has not diminished because of the peaceful days of the past few months. The refreshing feeling of shooting an enemy has also not diminished.

It is far from being a substitute for sitting at a desk to deal with government affairs every day. He is a soldier, and his stage should be on the battlefield, not the office on the second floor of the Management Committee.

As for whether this will affect family harmony in the future, Chen Yixin feels that he has a good role model. Qian Tiandun's wife Luo Wudan has now moved to Shandong with her husband and lives on Zhifu Island. Although Zhifu Island

The living conditions in Sanya are far inferior to those in areas like Sanya, but if you can live with your family and loved ones, what does a slightly simpler environment matter? What’s more, for senior officials like them, the quality of life is far better than that of this era.

The living standards of the gentry and landlords, even in places far away from the mainland of Haihan like Shandong, are already the envy of others.

Chen Yixin has been in the army for a long time and is used to the iron-blooded life. Naturally, he does not have much affection for his children. Being able to take care of Ma Yuling and her family as much as he can in life is the best he can do. Although he remains here

Being in the military may make Ma Yuling, who yearns for a peaceful life, a little disappointed, but he believes that he can make up for it through other aspects of performance - as long as he is willing to put more thought into it, no matter where he settles in the future, Ma Yuling can live a good life.

It is not difficult to live a life of a noble lady with fine clothes and fine food.

The assassination in Majiazhuang only caused a small stir in the local area, but there was no major disturbance. The local area entered a state of military control a few days ago, and the people in Majiazhuang were temporarily banned to prevent the military from taking action in advance.

The news leaked out. It only took a moment for Zheng Ai and others to actually take action. Only a burst of scattered gunfire was heard in Majiazhuang, and the matter was declared over. There was no continued fighting that the people were worried about. And the official said to the outside world

The news released only claimed to have captured several criminals who were trying to sneak to Zhifu Island, and did not mention the inside story of the assassination at all.

The survivors captured alive, the armed men killed in the process, and the person involved, Tie Pingjiang, were all escorted to Zhifu Island by the military before the confinement in Majiazhuang was lifted.

As one of the baits in this trap, Tie Pingjiang had to grasp the opportunity to escape from Zheng Ai's convoy, which was undoubtedly the most dangerous job. But this was a rare opportunity for him to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. Naturally, he had to risk his life to do so.

OK. But his luck must have been exhausted before that. When he left the battlefield, he was hit by two arrows in succession by the archers commanded by Zheng Ai. One leg and one waist were seriously injured. Can he survive?

It depends on whether Morgan on Zhifu Island can use his medical skills to save him.

But even if Tie Pingjiang is lucky enough to survive, he will definitely not be able to continue serving in the army based on what he has committed before. However, he has made a contribution in quelling the chaos this time. After the merits and demerits are balanced, he can safely receive a discharged professional certificate.

There is not much of a problem with his qualifications. Of course, Tie Pingjiang had already handed over all the benefits he had received from Zheng Ai before, otherwise the military court would not have let him go so easily.

Chen Yixin's preliminary trial report was also sent to the Zhifu Island headquarters at the same time. After confirming the name of the main envoy, Qian Tiandun sighed and said: "I don't offend others, but if people want to offend me, there is really no end to this surnamed Liao."

ah!"

"How about I go to Dengzhou to give a warning to the gentlemen in the city?" The person who answered was Wang Tom. Of course he would not visit Dengzhou by land, but would take the Northern Fleet under his command to show

Use force to frighten the restless people in Dengzhou City.

Qian Tiandun shook his head and said: "You just came back from the sea yesterday, so you should rest first before talking. Besides, if this matter gets serious, it may not necessarily be of any practical benefit to us."

Wang Tom went to Pangpi Island a few days ago to deliver food supplies to the local area, and brought back more than 400 immigrants with yellow faces and skinny muscles. These people were basically Han people who lived in the Northeast in the past, and they retreated with the Ming army.

On Phi Island, there was no further way out. If Haihan hadn't provided supplies to Phi Island from the end of last year, most of them would have starved to death on Phi Island. And they left Phi Island in batches.

Island, according to Haihan's arrangement, they can move south as immigrants. This is probably the best way out for them.

The cooperation between Haihan and Pi Dao hit it off right away. Exchanging people for food is undoubtedly the most effective solution to the famine problem on the island for the Pi Dao authorities. What's more, Haihan provided them with more than just food.

There are also military equipment and a covenant to jointly resist Houjin.

Shen Shikui, the governor of Pi Island, knew that this opportunity should not be missed, and he grasped this life-saving straw very tightly. Even if his hand was cut off, he would never let go. He sent his nephew Shen Zhixiang to the Haihan Army as a military observer.

Permanently stationed in China, he even followed the Haihan fleet south to Zhoushan, Zhejiang last winter to inspect the construction status of Haihan overseas bases, using this as a reference to formulate a development plan for the future of Pidao.

As a military ally, what Pidao can provide Haihan is thousands of well-trained Ming soldiers and a basically complete military system. Of course, Shen Shikui will definitely not hand over command to Haihan.

What we want is cooperation, not merger.

Since last winter, the two sides have carried out several joint operations in the Liaodong waters to carry out targeted attacks on Houjin's troops stationed in coastal areas, especially maritime armed forces. Although the frequency of such operations is not high, the effect is

It is obvious that after several maritime raids, the Hou Jin Dynasty had withdrawn its limited maritime armed forces to the inland rivers, or simply retreated to the Bohai Bay to the west of the Liaodong Peninsula.

The Changshan Islands, which lost control due to Shang Kexi's defection a few years ago, have also returned to the control area of ​​the Han people thanks to the cooperative efforts of the two armies. Of course, as a pre-agreed exchange of interests, some of the islands

The control rights have been transferred to Haihan. In this way, it is more convenient for Haihan to absorb Han immigrants from the Liaodong area. Currently, there are more than a thousand Han people living on Guanglu Island controlled by Haihan.

The immigrants are almost all refugees brought in from the Liaodong Peninsula in the past year.

However, Haihan's strategic goals in this area have never been just a few small islands. The Lushun and Dalian areas at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula are the areas Haihan wants to capture most. Houjin's maritime armed forces are relatively weak, so

As long as Haihan can hold the narrow Jinzhou Isthmus, the hundreds of square kilometers of the peninsula to the south can be classified as a safe zone. By then, this control area will be much larger than the area occupied by Haihan in Fushan County.

The two places are separated by the Bohai Strait, and the north and south echo each other. They can form a clampdown on the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. This is the phased goal that Haihan really wants to achieve.

Of course, relying solely on the current size of the garrison in Shandong, the military will not rush to implement such a combat plan. Although the Houjin Army suffered a lot in maritime battles in the past year, it has been increasing its presence in Lushun.

The garrison strength in the Jinzhou area. Even if the Haihan Army is not inferior to its opponents in terms of combat effectiveness, its strength is far from insufficient to eliminate the enemy and occupy these areas.

Under this situation, the Ming army in Dengzhou was still causing trouble from time to time, which made Qian Tiandun a little unhappy. After several armed conflicts with the Ming army last year, Haihan did not pursue the victory and carried out attacks on Dengzhou City.

The thundering method was that they did not want to completely break up with the Ming Dynasty and start a war. But it was obvious that Dengzhou officials did not understand Haihan's intentions in this matter, and still had the idea of ​​expelling Haihan from Shandong.

From the perspective of the Ming army, there is nothing wrong with doing this, but some officials are really ignorant of current affairs. Although these methods did not cause any substantial losses to Haihan, they were still like flies, making people upset when they saw them.

"It's better to hand it over to the Ministry of Security for a slow trial to make sure they have no other tricks before considering retaliation." Qian Tiandun decided to put the matter aside for now: "It's just a commanding officer, and I don't have anything in my hands."

No matter how many troops are available, there is no need to worry too much about his existence for the time being."

A fourth-grade Ming Army officer was not a big shot in Qian Tiandun's eyes. Of course, this was probably only the high-ranking officials of the Haihan Army who had such confidence. You must know that Liao Jie was the highest-ranking official in the Ming Army command system in Dengzhou.

He is also a top-notch general in Dusi, Shandong. It's just that he was unlucky to meet Haihan, his opponent. He was restricted in every aspect and could not use his talents at all. If the assassination operation in Majiazhuang had changed the target, it might have been successful.

But hitting Haihan became another failure case.

But at this time, Liao Jie still didn't know that in just a few words from Qian Tiandun, he might have gone from birth to death, and from death to life again. He was still waiting for news from Fushan County in order to consider

Follow-up measures.
