When the Japanese navy was strong, they never thought that the Russians could invade their homeland. Now, they have to think about it carefully...
But if we wholeheartedly made good friends with Xiao Chenjun, none of this would have happened. In fact, after our defeat, with the strong assistance of Yanyun County, the domestic economy actually grew a lot, and compared with that of Southern Xinjiang and the West The total trade volume has also increased several times!
After we help Xiao Chen capture Yizhou, the sea routes to southern Xinjiang and the West will be completely unblocked from now on. This will be of great benefit to our economic development.
How did Yanyun County develop rapidly in just a few years? Everyone knows this by heart, so our current strategy should focus on economic development, and gradually enrich our military strength on the basis of economic development...
As the saying goes, after three days of separation, you should look at each other with admiration. You have only been away from Ren Pijiang for more than half a year, so this kid has changed a lot.
In every move he made, he had the air of a young shogun, and he had already made many friends in just over half a year since he came to Japan.
When Xiao Chen and others were entertained at the shogunate, the house was full of guests, mostly young generals and upstarts in the court. These people were a new force in Japan, which was originally leaderless.
But since Ren Pijiang came, he conquered these people with his distinguished status as a young shogun, his new achievements in Antinisha, and his unique charm.
Now he has a vague leadership status...
Ren Bijiang also has another identity, that is, Xiao Chen's younger brother, Xiao Ye, the first general of Yanyun's Xiaoqi Guards, Duanmu Nanfeng, the largest family in Jiangnan County, and the brother of Wen Huan, the prince of Xi'an, and the nephew of Ling'er. Li Tanhua’s comrades...
In short, his connections are very strong.
Because when Yanyun County was in dire straits, Paradise Island once generously donated 10 million taels of silver to help, so among the senior officials of Yanyun County, he was also very comfortable, not to mention Liu Congshu, Ye Baiqing, Wen Chengxu and others all followed him He made good friends, even Mr. Chen Jisheng gave him face!
There are also Wanyan Pingqiu, Fu Yan, Qian Yunfei... They are all good friends. There is no need to brag, he is an equal in Yanyun County!
The problem is that he can also travel to that part of Nanyang. Do you want to know the identity of the young island owner of Paradise Island?
He has a very close relationship with Zheng Baiqing and Cheng Pingyuan. He also has a very good relationship with Prince Ullman of Java, King Liu Ruyun of Burma, Ganushan, Doma and others. He also has many friends with Western businessmen. Also included are some pirate captains…
Not long after he arrived in Japan, he helped solve many big problems that even the Japanese court could not solve before!
For example, the Ministry of Shikibu wanted to imitate the model of Enun University Hall and build a university dormitory in Heiankyo. It wanted the teaching materials of Enun University Hall and requested a certain amount of teacher assistance.
There was no news after the official letter was sent out. I sent someone to ask, but Ye Baiqing replied in one sentence. It involves confidentiality and will not be sent!
This is not Ye Baiqing's deliberate obstruction. The university hall also includes the Military Academy, the Medical Academy, the Architecture School, the Polytechnic...
Of course many of the teaching materials are confidential. Do you know this is called intellectual property? Don’t sell it even if you give me money!
But after Ren Pijiang learned about it, he wrote a letter to Ye Baiqing. Within half a month, Ye Baiqing directly sent a batch of teaching materials and dozens of professor-level teachers.
Autumn has come and winter is about to begin. Japan needs a large amount of furs. However, after the order was sent to Yanyun County, they said that the supply of furs is now in short supply. You want too much and you cannot satisfy it at the moment. You can only agree to one-tenth. , at most two tenths, no more.
But after Ren Pijiang sent a letter to Wen Chengxu, the order took effect immediately!
It turns out that Brother Pijiang, you became the Shogun of Japan? Congratulations, what are you thankful for? No need!
As a brother, I can't congratulate you in person, so I just do something for you as a token of my gratitude. If you have anything to do in the future, just talk and do it!
Wanyan Pingqiu didn't care about the Japanese fishing boats fishing in the North Sea, but they were not allowed to berth at the port in Gaojuli, or even close to the territorial waters. If there was a storm or natural disaster, they would have to fend for themselves.
The fishermen complained, and Japan's repeated negotiations were in vain.
After Ren Pijiang learned about it, he personally went to Gaojuli. At the cost of being drunk and swallowed several times by Wanyan Pingqiu and Fu Yan, he bought the fishermen berthing rights at ten ports and even talked to Fu Yan. Yan reached a maritime non-governmental mutual assistance treaty, which made the fishermen in the North Sea of Japan very happy.
Because the Great Zhou Dynasty has always adopted a policy of seclusion, eliminating all maritime trade, although under the leadership of Yanyun County, it shyly opened several ports in Jiangdong and Jiangnan, the trade volume is still quite limited. Since the feud with Japan, , and all of them were cut off.
If Japan wants to purchase the porcelain, tea, cotton, silk, ironware and other materials it needs, it must obtain it from a third party in Nanjiang or Yanyun.
Officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs heard that Ren Pijiang had many connections, so they came to ask him for help. Ren Bijiang agreed without saying a word, and directly sent someone to deliver a letter to Duanmu Nanfeng. Half a month later, Five large ships came, loaded with cargo...
So now you know how Ren Pijiang established such a great prestige in just over half a year, right?
But prestige alone is not enough. What Ren Pijiang wants is military power. Only military power is the most practical power. Everything else is nonsense!
Although Ren Haitang is the shogun, she currently does not have a force of her own. She was only temporarily ordered to attack Antinisa, and when she came back, she handed over the command of the fleet.
In Ren Pijiang's words, it was a fight against loneliness. But it also laid a foundation, and at least won the respect of many generals in the Japanese army, especially the navy officers who followed them on the expedition.
Now that he knew that Xiao Chen wanted to attack Yizhou, he felt that this was a good opportunity for him. My mother can lead thousands of miles as a general, why can't he as a young general? Brother Xiao, what do you think...
"I personally fully support you in leading the troops." Of course Xiao Chen supported him, "But Emperor Shenzhao hasn't decided to send troops yet, and he hasn't replied to me in the past few days. I guess it's probably a failure."
"Hahaha, Brother Xiao, you and I are joking too." Ren Bijiang laughed, "You and I both know that the emperor will definitely agree to send troops."
"Oh?" Xiao Chen also smiled, "Why do you see it?"
"There is no need to say this, because it is difficult to say. Anyway, we two brothers know it well." Ren Bijiang said with a smile, "But the problem is that if Emperor Shenzhao decides to send troops, there is no guarantee who will be sent."
This was what he was worried about. His qualifications were not enough for a general to carry out such an important military mission.
And he didn't want to miss this great opportunity.
