The Reborn Wife is Farming

Lin Chengxiu was indeed courageous and resourceful. Even if Zhou Zhou withdrew most of the people back to Guangzhou, he could still keep Daqi's soldiers from being bullied in Nanyang.

Hutou and Little Lion have learned a lot from his side and have made rapid progress. Even if Lin Chengxiu doesn't like them very much, he has to admit that they are more talented than him.

Especially Hutou, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, dared to lead a hundred people to sneak attack and seize an island.

And because of the arrival of Vice Admiral Bai, Luzon Island has also undergone great changes. He led the soldiers to build barracks, and also established a good relationship with the local people, helping Fengshou Grain Shop to open its first branch here. .

He didn't stop the soldiers who went home to visit to bring goods here. As long as there were not many things, he would turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye. As a result, the natives improved their living conditions.

He also allowed untrained soldiers to go to the sea from time to time, and the fish, shrimp and crabs he got were used for extra meals, even the kelp that can be seen everywhere on the reefs were all made of fresh soup by him, not only Luzon Island, but also soldiers on other islands. Therefore, the food was improved. Vice Admiral Bai had only been here for three months, and everyone ate 10% less military rations, but they gained a lot of weight.

Lin Chengxiu's face was very dark about this, but Vice Admiral Bai said with a smile: "The soldiers have worked hard in fighting and training, and they can improve their lives without military expenses. The soldiers went to the mountains to hunt, just to give everyone some fat."

"The environment in Nanyang is much worse than that in the North. A decent town is half a month away from here. If you want to eat some meat, you have to look at the mountains and forests to drool. Why don't you have ready-made fish and shrimp? Really put them I'm so hungry, you see who is willing to come to Nanyang to be stationed in a few years."

Lin Chengxiu sneered: "Defending the country is the duty of soldiers, so what if they don't want to?"

Vice Admiral Bai patted him on the shoulder and said gently: "Unwilling to be willing, how can we win the battle? General, the last general in this battle is naturally inferior to you, but to be a general, you must not only know how to fight, but also win the battle." Can train soldiers, manage soldiers."

Vice Admiral Bai said with a smile: "The last general was fortunate to be by Prince Rong's side in the early years. He had seen him fight. He once told the soldiers that there are three abilities in a general. Training is the top priority, management is the center, and charge For the next."

Lin Chengxiu's expression changed.

Vice Admiral Bai patted him on the shoulder and left, letting him think for himself.

He was indeed from the prince's subordinates. For more than 20 years, those who followed the prince either died or had a great future. Only he has changed from a small logistics soldier to a fourth-rank general.

If he hadn't been promoted by the lord, he would still be a small fifth-rank military officer in the Xishan camp. He doesn't know how to fight. use.

Only the prince still remembers him.

Before leaving, the prince called him to the mansion, and said: "Lin Chengxiu is talented, but too arrogant. Such a person is just passing through, he only knows how to fight, not to manage soldiers, let alone train. All the boys are with him, I don't want them to only learn his fighting methods, but forget that I taught them how to train and manage soldiers before, so you go, not only to manage the soldiers in Nanyang well, but also to take care of the king Look at those two boys, don't just learn the arrogance of your body, but forget to learn the skills."

Qi Haoran said: "You don't know how to fight, don't meddle in Lin Chengxiu's military affairs when you go there, but you can remind him in terms of management, if he can learn it, it will be good, if not, I will transfer him back and send him to the military academy go inside."

Vice Admiral Bai thought that the prince should cherish talents more. If Lin Chengxiu did not accept his suggestion and made the Nanyang garrison full of complaints, he would have to be sent to a military academy to study in the end.

That was his last chance, if he still failed to grasp it, then he would be a fourth-rank general in the future, who could only obey orders to fight and had no right to train troops.

The foreigners don't know about the turbulent undercurrent of Daqi's troops stationed in Nanyang. They are discussing how to make peace with Daqi. They have lost too much this year, so they still have to let Daqi stop these military operations.

And recently, there has been another group of pirates in the Indian Ocean. This group of pirates only robs merchant ships in the Western Ocean. Although they only take 30% to 40% of the cargo every time they board a ship, they also cause them huge losses.

But they came and went without a trace, and their warships went out several times without finding a trace.

All countries feel that their efficiency has been reduced because of Daqi's harassment everywhere, so the dispute with Daqi must be resolved as soon as possible.

Daqi agreed to negotiate a peace this time, but his attitude was still strong, saying that if the pirates from Western countries robbed Daqi's merchant ships, they would definitely fight back, and they would never stop until they wiped out the pirates.

If Western countries can restrain their citizens, they will naturally be willing to live in peace with other countries. After all, their original intention is to protect the people of Daqi, not to provoke.

Western countries proposed that Daqi should also restrain its own people.

Da Qi readily agreed, saying that if all countries find that there are Da Qi people acting as evil pirates outside, their countries can send troops to exterminate them, and they will definitely not stop them.

The prefect of Guangzhou said this with extreme sarcasm, saying: "Even if they are citizens of Daqi, once they become pirates, killing and looting is unforgivable, and Daqi will never cover them up."

The faces of the envoys from various countries were slightly stiff.

After the people left, Zhou Zhou murmured to him: "You talk too freely, what if they catch our people?"

We must know that half of the pirates in the Indian Ocean are recruited young and strong fishermen, and half are soldiers of Daqi.

The prefect of Guangzhou curled his lips and said, "You have so many garrisons in Nanyang, can't you cover a fleet? What's more, even if they catch people, so what, those people are from Dongying."

Zhou Zhou frowned, and the prefect of Guangzhou said indifferently: "Don't worry, the prince's move is just to give them a little color, and let them taste the pain of being robbed. It will definitely not be too long, and the shortest is three Two years, five or six years at most, these people will be recruited back."

Thinking of Qi Haoran's temper, Zhou Zhou frowned slightly.

But neither of them expected that the pirate fleet would not be disbanded after three years, but they would all be registered in the military and belong to the names of the three young masters, who would lead them to the west.

At that time, after three years of development in Nanyang, one thing was very different. Fengshou Grain Shop opened branches in several nearby countries, and sent technicians to teach the local people to grow rice and various crops. The name of the princess spread throughout Nanyang, and almost every family that planted the seeds produced by Fengshou Grain Shop had Mu Yangling's longevity tablet in their homes.

Later, at the proposal of Prince Rong, Emperor Daqi waved his hand and asked the Royal Bookstore to print a batch of sage books for various countries in Southeast Asia.

Hutou and Little Lion took the opportunity to introduce Baoxiong Academy to Luzon, starting from Luzon to educate the aborigines.

The villagers near the seaport where Daqi was stationed in Luzon have all learned to speak Chinese, especially the children, who would recite a few words "at the beginning of human beings, nature is good" every day when they go to sea.

Contrary to Daqi's growing prestige in the Southeast Asian countries, the aborigines became more disgusted with the Westerners who occupied and enslaved them, and the rebellion and uprising could not be stopped no matter what.
