Chapter 74 New cooperation reached
He Xi's heart moved, and she suddenly felt that this was an opportunity. It is an opportunity for Ye Chen and Fang Chengfeng.
As I said before, if you want to make achievements on the battlefield, you must first be strong and able to fight. Secondly, you need someone to support you. Especially things where we have the upper hand now. If our side is at a disadvantage, we will naturally show our true colors as heroes when the sea is flowing. Let’s see who can turn the tide. But when our side has an advantage, it will appear. Whoever we send will probably achieve success, it just depends on who is better at fighting. This is not very necessary for the country.
When Lan Yu was there, He Xi never thought about giving Ye Chen and Fang Chengfeng a chance. Because it's useless.
The army is the core disk of Sapphire. Lan Yu has a large number of direct descendants in the army. Don’t give them meat, give it to others. is it possible?
It seems that everyone from He Xi participated in this war. But in reality, it’s all leftovers.
The truly decisive battles were fought by the Lan Yu headquarters.
But it's different now. Fu Youde doesn't care about this. He cares about victory itself. Not who helps him win.
He Xi said: "Of course there is no problem. I will ask the two of them to meet the Marquis immediately. I will ask the Marquis to take good care of them from now on."
Fu Youde said: "It's easy to say. You and Zhong'er are both His Majesty's sons-in-law. Naturally, you have to take care of each other. Your people are mine. Especially naval warfare, I don't know much about it. If Heng Haibo can afford it, He is the vanguard of the army."
The position of Pioneer is not ordinary.
If you have the ability, it is almost the easiest position to make meritorious deeds.
Just like Chang Yuchun. Chang Yuchun's prosperity lies in being the vanguard to attack Caishiji during the cross-river battle, and be the first to reach it. He defeated the enemy and his reputation as a hero spread throughout the army in one day. Only then did everything happen.
He Xi always thought that Fu Zhong would be the vanguard of the army. After all, Fu Zhong's abilities are also pretty good. It is also a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Unexpectedly, Fu Youde chose to give up this position, which shows Fu Youde's sincerity.
In fact, the reason why Fu Youde is like this is certainly sincerity, but it is also reality.
That is Fu Youde does not understand naval warfare. However, when he reaches the position of head coach, he is already fundamentally different from a general. What Fu Youde has to consider is not whether he is good at it or not, but who under his command is good at it. We have to admit that the training of many high-level talents requires cycles.
It has been several years since He Xi set foot in the sea. However, there is still a shortage of naval generals who can take charge of their own affairs. Fu Youde considered the army and could only choose among this small range. Fang Chengfeng is one of them.
As it turned out, Fu Youde was naturally willing to sell a favor.
It's not that He Xi couldn't imagine the mystery. But even if he understood, he still had to accept Fu Youde's love.
He Xi said: "Thank you, Lord Marquis." He paused slightly and said, "I think it's better to tell Lord Marquis about some things. These things may be one of the reasons why Your Majesty uses Lord Marquis instead of Marquis Yongchang."
"Oh?" Fu Youde was a little surprised and said, "Please give me some advice, Mr. He."
He Xi first said: "Do you know, Lord Marquis, that there is an island in the Whale Sea called Sado Island. It is a place where Japanese prisoners are exiled. It is rich in gold and silver. I have sent people to see it. This has been confirmed. The one who sent the messenger was Liu Ben, a member of the Jinyi Guard Qianhu."
In fact, the gold and silver mines on Sado Island are still being searched for, and nothing has been verified as He Xi said. However, He Xi can also be used to pull off tiger skin.
Fu Youde suddenly grasped the key point and said, "Jin Yiwei?"
He Xi said: "Yes, it is His Majesty's people."
Fu Youde was silent, wondering what he was thinking about? After thinking for a long time, he said: "Your Majesty wants gold and silver? This is not like His Majesty's temperament."
Fu Youde is right.
What kind of person is Zhu Yuanzhang? Fu Youde is very clear. Lao Tzu has this saying: If you don't respect the virtuous, the people will not fight; if you don't value hard-to-find goods, the people will not steal; if you don't see what you want, the people will not be confused. This is the rule of the sage: empty his heart, strengthen his belly, weaken his will, and strengthen his bones. It often makes the people ignorant and desireless, and makes the wise men dare not do anything. If you do nothing, everything will be cured. Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not achieve all of these. But Zhu Yuanzhang was determined not to covet gold and silver. If Zhu Yuanzhang was really greedy for one thing, it should be food.
There seems to be a hunger in my bones. Zhu Yuanzhang became so addicted to grain harvesting that during the Yongle period, during the first northern expedition to the grasslands, there was no need to mobilize grain from the rear. The grain stored in some guard posts in Yanbian alone was enough to fight a war.
They are all savings from the Hongwu years.
He Xi said: "No, His Majesty loves gold and silver, but the imperial court needs gold and silver. The failure of treasure banknotes is a new disease of His Majesty. The imperial court's treasure banknotes have not fallen so much in recent years. But they have been falling, so that among the people For transactions, many people use grain, cloth, gold, silver, and copper coins, but few use treasure banknotes. His Majesty has previously issued an order to ban gold, silver, copper coins, etc., and special treasure banknotes. No matter how many people are killed, this situation cannot be changed. Only then did I realize that public opinion cannot be forced. So in recent years, the imperial court began to mint copper coins and iron coins. But after all, treasure banknotes are the official currency of the country and cannot be ignored. So I proposed to use gold and silver as the foundation and anchor of treasure banknotes. price."
Speaking of which. Fu Youde suddenly blurted out, "Bank notes?"
He Xi said: "Exactly, it's just my own attempt."
Fu Youde expressed his understanding.
Many things are like this. When the emperor took action, there was too much movement. Only the people below do it first. If done wrong. The emperor can still tell the truth. If done. The imperial court can take over and promote it throughout the world.
He Xi continued; "As a result, a large amount of gold and silver is needed, and Japan has always produced gold and silver. The ratio of gold and silver in the Ming Dynasty has always been one to ten, or more. But when the ratio of gold and silver in Japan was the lowest, it was one to ten. Than six. This shows that there is a lot of gold and silver in Japan.”
Fu Youde said; "Lanyu is so bold. If Lan Yu passes through one of his hands? I'll be thankful that half of it can be left in the hands of the court? And I won't be so greedy? Right?"
He Xi said: "Master Hou, you are joking. It's just my idea, don't take it seriously."
Fu Youde said: "Understood. I know this. Please rest assured. I don't care what kind of harm the following people cause in Japan. But every tael of gold and silver in Japan will enter the national treasury."
Zhu Yuanzhang's banner is very useful.
This is the situation of the Ming Dynasty. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang does not die, the whole world will be Zhu Yuanzhang's loyal ministers. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions are brought out, everyone except Li Shanchang, a tough guy, will bow his head and obey his orders. It is false to say that Fu Youde does not love money. But under Zhu Yuanzhang's order, mere money meant nothing.
Just like He Xi, Fu Youde has long since passed the life of caring about money. Only Lan Yu adopted so many adopted sons and so many people because of his cliques. Sapphire needs a lot of gold and silver support.
Of course, there is also the nature of Sapphire in it.
He Xi said: "I don't know if the Marquis has any instructions. I will go back to Liaodong in the next few days."
Fu Youde said; "But what is in the secret decree?"
He Xi nodded but didn't say much.
Fu Youde said: "Please stay a little longer, and a group of people will go with you. After all, if you stay in Korea longer, some people can feel at ease."
After hearing this, He Xi understood what Fu Youde wanted to stay. Be the middleman. It's a big drama, life ends, clean and ugly, everyone has their own arrangements. If only Fu Youde was here and there was no buffer between the two sides, it would probably be easy for bloodshed. He Xi has been partnered with Lan Yu for a while and has some influence among Lan Yu's subordinates. Just be a middleman.
This group of people is leaving, not others. It is the direct line of Lan Jade that Fu Youde wants to win. If they behave well. That is to say, follow He Xi back to Liaodong, or go to other places for resettlement.
He Xi said: "That's fine. It's just that the Marquises are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. It's better not to see blood."
Fu Youde smiled and said: "I am not a murderous person. As long as everyone gives in, I don't want to see blood."
This is the truth. Fu Youde is cunning and cunning, and he doesn't want to offend Lan Yu to death. But when it is really necessary, when killing people, they will not blink an eye.
