Chapter 4282: Give a stick to a sweet date

Jingchu’s recent life is not easy. It can be said that the major families are suffering from internal and external troubles. The army system has gradually begun to replace it. Some generals and school troops are not eliminated but turned into professional archers and directly incorporated into the Han army. Legion.

From this point of view, the current military system of the Jiangdong Army is not directly dismantled, but more of an exchange. At least it looks decent, and of course it looks decent. Because these Jiangdong soldiers who switched to archers were quickly transferred to the Ganges to correct the diversity of the Han army in the Ganges area.

Of course that's what I said, but in fact, this method of breaking up, reorganizing, and reorganizing directly cut off the personal attachment of Jiangdong's song system, and liberated the soldiers from the original **** again, completely becoming a part of the army that belonged to them. The soldiers of the Han Dynasty are not personal parts.

Coupled with the replacement behavior on the table, soldiers from the north reorganized Jiangdong's army, causing the original army of one family to lose its foundation. Coupled with Liu Bei's terrible ability to recognize people, this wave of replacements went down. , the only thing left by the Jingchu family is decent.

The reorganization of the army by the soldiers in the north was a conspiracy of Liu Bei and Chen Xi in the hearts of many Jingchu families, but Sun Ce and Zhou Yu couldn't stop it, and the Jingchu family could only watch Liu Bei further strengthen their control over this matter. The ability to control the country's military power.

Of course, Chen Xi does not deny this point. The restructuring of the Jiangdong Army is basically equivalent to Liu Bei taking over Jiangdong's army power, but so what, I warned you many years ago-you either behaved not so badly, or don't blame it. We start to replace.

It would be disrespectful to have to speak your mind.

However, not speaking out does not mean that the Jingchu family is not restless. On the contrary, the Jingchu family has been abnormally restless recently, and the forced reform of the army's military system has made the Jingchu family feel a serious sense of crisis. With things like weapons, whether you have them in your hands or not, is a completely different feeling.

Chen Xi also knows, but this matter has reached this point, and it has reached the point where it cannot be done without advancing. The Jiangdong Army itself is not rubbish, but under the constraints of the trilogy system, it has to be rubbish. Bar!

Originally, if there was no such thing as Lu Su, Chen Xi would mainly deal with the reform of the Jiangdong Army and the retreat of the Department of Ocean Fisheries recently. However, Lu Su made a major event, which prevented Chen Xi from concentrating on Jiangdong's side. Now the matter is barely resolved. Yes, these things have reached the level that must be dealt with.

"May I appease you formally?" Zhuge Liang complained. He knew that Chen Xi's so-called low-price purchase was definitely a very low price, but he had to admit that it was indeed a good idea.

"At least let them enter the system, which proves that I really don't intend to kill them, but just want them to be normal." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "Speaking of which, Jiangdong hasn't had any troubles recently, and this year's court meeting Is there still something to be done?"

"Yao Mozi over there in Jiangdong?" Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Someone has already contacted Sun Zhongmou, is it Yao Mozi?"

"This is really amazing." Chen Xi expressed admiration. Jiang Dong and his group may not be able to do anything else, but this infighting is really good. To invest in Sun Quan at this time is really true. Thanks to Sun Ce's free and easy, otherwise it would be unavoidable to feel jealous, and once the brothers cross the wall, other families will have many opportunities.

"Sun Zhongmou directly gave the original to his brother." Guo Jia followed up.

"Well, this is even better, it's very interesting." Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh, internal affairs still depend on Sun Quan, Sun Ce and so on, this aspect is really not good.

"Is there any fun?" When Chen Xi said this, Liu Bei stared at him first. Why are you talking? This is our friendly army. You actually took it for fun. Although it is true that you are very happy, you can't say it directly. , It hurts too much to say it.

"I have a serious business. It's really not fun, but after comparing it with your plan, I think it's a lot of fun." Guo Jia said while flipping through his side: Shao Gongwen, and then took out a piece of paper to hand over. To Liu Bei.

Liu Bei took it over, just like an old man squinting his eyes, what's the matter.

"What happened?" Chen Xi took the secret report handed over by Liu Bei, looked at it curiously, his face twitched somewhat, okay, it's really out of line.

The Jingchu family had a strong sense of crisis because the northern army took over their own military system and formed a replacement. Then the Wu family, Xu family, Gu family, Zhang family, Zhu family and other local families took the lead to call on all the Jingchu family and powerful landlords Donate money and materials for Sun Ce, speed up the recovery of the navy, etc.

In short, this time the Jingchu family paid out money and contributed powerfully, which meant breaking the family for the country. To be honest, according to this performance, the Jingchu family can pile up warships and manpower for Jiangdong by itself, which is very easy. interesting.

It's a pity that Chen Xi and Zhou Yu have already negotiated, and the Department of Ocean Fisheries retires young adults as a supplement, and the Jingchu family pays for their people, but in the end it's just the rhythm of being prostituted by Chen Xi and Zhou Yu.

"I already don't know what expression to use to look at this kind of thing." Chen Xi wanted to laugh at first, but he couldn't laugh anymore. This group of people had put out all their strength a long time ago. How can such a thing happen? Show it now, Chen Xi Inexplicable and even a little sad.

"The Jingchu family deserves a beating." After Zhuge Liang read it, he was somewhat embarrassed.

After all, Cai Mao is Huang Yueying's biological uncle. Based on the ancient nephew-uncle relationship, the kinship is very close, so Zhuge Liang knows Cai Mao's outrageous degree to some extent. As a result, Zhuge Liang just wants to sigh about what he saw in this secret newspaper. up.

"It is estimated that Sun Bofu and Zhou Gongjin are also angry at this time, and they want to laugh." Chen Xi shook his head, it should be said that he really deserves to be from the Jingchu family.

"Speaking of which, Zhou Gongjin actually agreed to use the retired young men of the Oceanic Fisheries Department as the main force of the navy, so that the military power of the Jiangdong forces is almost eliminated." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi and asked, "He really believes that us?"

"There is a reason for trust, and part of the reason is that he also wants to solve the problem." Chen Xi said seriously, "If he wants to delay, he can indeed delay, but the Guishuang Navy led by Meng Kangbu is there, It has to be resolved."

Trust in the local area is only one aspect. Although Chen Xi is very confident in his own reputation, he still has to say that when it comes to such a major event, don't talk about trusting such hurtful things. This kind of thing itself is unreliable in national affairs. This kind of thing related to the fate of political power needs other more reliable guarantees.

From a certain point of view, this wave of Jiangdong forces has already completely disarmed Liu Bei and Chen Xi. Chen Xi's internal affairs and economy have been infiltrated intensively by Chen Xi. Chen Xi's part-time job, coupled with the delivery of this wave of military power, the Jiangdong forces actually only have a name left.

If Liu Bei and Chen Xi really have an idea, this time they can really nationalize the Jiangdong forces that own the entire Southeast Asia. Unfortunately, neither Liu Bei nor Chen Xi thought about it.

On the one hand, after nationalization, the development of Southeast Asia will still require a lot of manpower, and it will be more troublesome to control;

From the current point of view, it is better to continue to maintain the state of the Jingchu family who are grabbing food. After all, it is not so easy to develop Southeast Asia, even in this era with the essence of heaven and earth. At present, the main output of Southeast Asia is actually all It is raw materials, such as grains for feed, fruits, spices, fish, minerals and so on.

These things are actually primary products that rely on the local environment. For example, rice for feed with an extremely outrageous output is actually the main product of Java Island. Unlike the central plains that need fertilizers, the soil of Java Island is full of land due to volcanic ash. The same period of rain and heat can easily achieve three crops a year.

In the later generations of Java Island, 140,000 square kilometers of land raised 150 million people, which is enough to show how suitable this place is for farming.

After the original capture of Southeast Asia, many civil servants suggested that Wu's capital should be located on Java Island. To put it bluntly, they valued the outrageous food production capacity of this place.

However, after discussing with Zhou Yu, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu chose Sumatra Island, and then gradually reconstructed the water network, while Java Island was used for farming. Relying on the advantages of land, even if it is completely rough farming, there are good results.

In terms of output, most of the food for Cai Mao and others comes from this place.

To put it simply, on the premise that the locals are blindly planting, one year's output can be produced in Jizhou. Of course, it is cool to sell food.

But the big aristocratic families occupy the island just to sell some raw materials? Although there are many such unambitious families, more aristocratic families have their own ideas, and this is what Chen Xi needs. What he wants is not those backers. The mountains rely on the water to eat the dregs of the water, what he wants are those things that can make things happen, even if the latter are more difficult to manage.

Zhou Yu talked with Chen Xi in the fifth year of Yuanfeng. At that time, Chen Xi used the reason that the king of Chu annexed Baiyue and developed Yunmengze. In fact, he was implying Zhou Yu that even if I want to annex you, at least I have to wait for you to develop , what can I get if I fight it now?

It does seem like a lot, but with Chen Xi’s current appetite, it’s nothing. Is it meaningful to get some grain production land and mines? Jiang Dong stays in Southeast Asia, so these things have to be sent to the Central Plains, Then it was exchanged from Chen Xi's side for a ticket, without Chen Xi having to work hard.

Even if you really want to eat, at least you have to have a full meal. For the Han family controlled by Chen Xi, the current external forces and aristocratic families are not even considered as a gap between the teeth. The largest Yuan family, Even if the Han Dynasty is annexed, what can we get? Basically nothing.

Zhou Yu also realized this, so he completely lost his scruples - if he loses, he will fight back. He agreed to hold down the Guishuang Navy. Now that something happened, if he can recover as soon as possible, he should recover as soon as possible.

You can't just do this and let Meng Kangbu really build the fulcrum of the Guishuang Navy in the Indian Ocean. If there is really no way, then don't say anything, but now there is a way, why give up just because of such a little fear up?

So Zhou Yu chose to accept what Chen Xi said before, and he had to solve the problem of having or not having a navy first, and then talk about other things.

"Zhou Gongjin is somewhat stubborn." Chen Xi sighed and said, "He said he would suppress the Guishuang Navy, so that we don't have to worry about the pressure on the sea, let us do whatever we want on the Ganges, and he will do it. Of course, Losses during this period are inevitable."

"After a while, Sun Bofu and Zhou Gongjin should also come to attend the court meeting." Liu Bei thought for a while and asked, "Send the seal to Sun Bofu at that time."

Chen Xi raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "There is something wrong with the timing of issuing the seal letter at this time, after all, the battle of Qunv City just ended."

It's not that I won't give it, but Chen Xi feels that the timing is not right.

"It's just a stick for a sweet date." Guo Jia said from the side.

"I'm afraid that Sun Bofu won't accept the seal letter." Chen Xi sighed, "Don't look at that guy as stupid, but that guy has a ruthless spirit. Once he makes up his mind, he can't give up. He may not accept the transfer of the seal, because the naval forces at the Battle of Qunu City and the Ganges Estuary suffered a great deal of damage.”

The more bold and unrestrained a person is, the more vigilant he is in certain aspects. The battle of Qunvcheng and the loss at the mouth of the Ganges River, if Sun Ce does not fight back, Sun Ce himself may not be able to accept the official canonization. Losing is not terrible, terrible If you lose, you can't fight back.

Maybe the Jiangdong family doesn't think it's a problem if they lose and can't fight back, but Sun Ce doesn't. He can accept losing, but he won't accept giving up.

"At that time, Sun Bofu protected Zhou Gongjin in order to be able to fight back. Without Zhou Gongjin, it is basically impossible to fight back. As long as Zhou Gongjin is alive, with Sun Zhongmou around, it is more or less possible to stabilize everything, and then fight back. It's just a possibility, but this possibility is much greater than the possibility of him calling back." Chen Xi said with a sigh.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are true sworn brothers, and they are the kind who are promoted to worship their mothers. They can be said to know each other well, and even Sun Ce may know Zhou Yu better than Zhou Yu.

"That's right." Liu Bei nodded, "However, to accept Jiangdong's army and navy, we have to make a gesture, so that other people can't think that we are killing the donkey, even if no one can see Jiangdong's army and navy now. Passive together, but this kind of thing has to be prepared in advance.”

"Then the next edict, the entire set of ritual vessels will be handed down, at most it will be refuted, and Her Royal Highness only

If the money is in place, I'm afraid I don't care about this kind of thing. "Chen Xi thought for a while and said.
