Xiao Chen and Xu Haiming personally accompanied Ren Pijiang to Hecheng and explained the situation to everyone. It was really a lease because Japan provided money.
Of course, I don’t need even one tael of this money. All of it is distributed to local residents in the form of welfare. Each person gets four or five taels every year...
There are also local officials who are all Chinese, and all laws and policies are the same as in other places in Yizhou.
Little devils... The Japanese are just stationing troops here. Of course, they don't need us to support them. They will also buy the food and supplies they need according to the price.
As for General Xiaolin Pijiang, although he is from Japan, his mother is from China, so we cannot meet him. Let me ask him to tell you a few words...
Ren Bijiang is very eloquent, and he also speaks extremely fluent Chinese dialect. To tell the truth, he is more standard than the others. Moreover, his words and deeds are like a Chinese, and he really doesn't look like a Japanese kid. . First of all, he has a decent appearance, is tall and handsome, and speaks sincerely...
Then let’s examine him for a while first. If he doesn’t keep his word and bullies us with the Japanese, then don’t blame us for rebelling!
Ren Bijiang is a man who can lead troops when mounted, and can be close to the people when dismounted. As the young island owner of Paradise Island, he is very familiar with the economy.
Within a few days of taking office, he formulated and released several policies to benefit the people, and also strongly supported the development of overseas trade. Before, Yizhou mainly had more trade with Jiangnan Jiangdong and Yanyun. Now on the original basis, it has also added To Japan and southern Xinjiang...
Ren Pijiang is very familiar with the situation in southern Xinjiang and has clearly formulated the supply and demand trade share, surplus and deficit.
The local officials and people all looked up to him with admiration. Don't even mention this young bastard with a hairless mouth...
What a skill!
Unexpectedly, the good times did not last long. Just when Ren Pijiang had just won the support of the people and gained the respect of the officials, he was actually leaving?
Damn it, don't worry, what will happen if we are left without a leader if you leave?
You also promised to fight with Yanyun County to jointly open a sugar factory in our Hecheng city, so you can't give up halfway!
Many of us have listened to your advice and gone into the mountains to plant sugar cane. Now you just throw away your hands and leave. Why don't you just show us some fun?
We said we were like one family, but you lied!
The common people jointly signed a letter, and the officials went to Xu Haiming to protest. Xu Haiming said that you didn't understand the situation. Have you forgotten that Crane City was leased?
So now you are not under my control, but under the control of the little devil, Emperor Shenzhao. If you have any opinions, you have to tell them...
But we are not familiar with each other's emperor. We are quite far away from Japan. Otherwise, it would be best to ask Mr. Xu to help me convey my meaning.
Xu Haiming also promised that he would convey everyone's support, admiration, and desire to retain Xiaolin Pijiang to Emperor Shenzhao. I believe that as the emperor, he must not understand the truth, and he will definitely treat you. The work that your beloved Xiaolin has left for you...
Emperor Shenzhao was indeed very sensible. He sent Ren Bijiang over again after he had returned to report on his duties, and he was also given the title of "Daming of Yizhou".
Because Ren Pijiang currently has an unstable foothold in Yizhou and has to face various pressures from the Great Zhou Dynasty, mainly from Xiao Chen, the warships, soldiers and horses that brought him to Yizhou are all left to him to control.
Ren Pijiang almost effortlessly acquired more than a hundred warships, a basic military force of more than 20,000 troops, and a stable territorial foothold.
He is also good at dancing, playing both sides between Xiao Chen and Emperor Shenzhao, with ease and confidence, and continues to expand his strength in a fair and just manner.
Because both parties hope that the greater his strength, the better...
The six-nation combined fleet was completely wiped out, and their so-called fleet commander, Saladin, who claimed to be the Duke of Gaul, was also captured alive by Wu Hanming.
Xiao Chen did not make things too difficult for him and his surviving subordinates. After all, the Yanyun Army had always treated prisoners preferentially, so they interrogated him in person in the name of chatting, and also prepared a sumptuous banquet and ice-cold beer.
"I didn't expect you, Mr. Xiao Chen, to speak Western dialects?" Duke Saladin was really curious about Xiao Chen, the young Eastern commander. He was obviously an Easterner, but he spoke extremely fluent English, although he was a little confused. I don’t understand, but there is no problem with basic communication.
"It is always useful to master another foreign language. At least I can have a pleasant conversation with you, Duke Saladin, without any hindrance." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"I know your Eastern tradition. Before sending someone to the guillotine, you will prepare a sumptuous banquet for him and let him eat before he dies, so that he will not be a beggar in the next life, right?" Saladin misunderstood Xiao Chen. , thinking it was his last supper.
"There is this tradition, which is the last respect for the deceased... But I don't want to send you, Duke Saladin, to the guillotine. In fact, I don't want to kill you at all. We have no grievances against each other. Is that so? When we hold swords and guns in our hands, we are enemies. When we put down swords and guns, we become friends." Xiao Chen said.
"Thank you, my Lord Xiao Chen!" Saladin was surprised and happy when he heard this. It was really unexpected. He immediately stood up, put his hand on his chest, paid the highest respect to Xiao Chen, and Swear, "Yes, I will be your most loyal friend and servant, I mean, I will be loyal to you forever."
It can be seen that he is an unprincipled guy.
Saladin was just a wealthy farmer in Gaul at first. Later, when the Romans invaded their peninsula, the country of Mona to which he belonged rose up to resist, but was defeated repeatedly.
Facing the pressing steps of the Roman army, in order to protect his farms and property, Saladin summoned a large number of poor landless farmers, wanderers, criminals, and even slaves to form a resistance army to fight against the Romans. The Ma people fight to the death!
King Mona greatly appreciated his heroic behavior and made him Duke of Gaul...
But the Romans were too powerful. Saladin and his gang fought with them for several months. They were beaten to pieces and retreated steadily.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately announced his defection and surrender, and personally came to the Roman camp, knelt down and kissed the toes of the Roman commander, and swore allegiance to the Romans in public.
The Roman commander was moved by his sincere rhetoric and bloody oaths, so he readily agreed and gave him some weapons, armor and battleships...
Unexpectedly, this kid simply pretended to surrender. When he was being reorganized at the port, he suddenly switched sides again. Not only did he kill hundreds of Romans, but he also captured dozens of their warships in the port, and quickly escaped overnight!
Although this guy is not a thing, he is also quite talented in military affairs. He ran, fought and robbed all the way. By the time he settled in the deserted continent of Odalia, there were already more than 200 large and small warships and more than 20,000 troops... …
