Chapter 358 Efforts to Build Ships and Spread Civilization

After Yiren was delayed in Beiping for about five days, he set off for Liaodong.

This time when he entered Liaodong, Chen Yunfu had to pay more attention.

After crossing Shanhaiguan Pass and entering Guangning Zhongwei, Yu Yifeng and Liaodong Commander Wang Bi took over here.

"This time, Benfu will focus on the restructuring of the Liaodong Capital Division, as well as the reorganization of the army."

Wang Bi had already received the wind from Lan Yu, Chang Mao and others from Nanjing, not to mention that Yu Yifeng had been raising a large amount of military supplies during this period, and he knew with his toes that this was going to be a mobilization of troops, so he was planning to mobilize troops long before Chen Yunfu came. The corresponding preparations have been made.

He took what Chen Yunfu said and introduced the current military situation in Liaodong.

"Teacher, now Liaodong has expanded from sixteen guards to forty guards, a total of 210 nine thousand guards, of which we have set up three guards in Haizhou, Dandong, and Phoenix City, 49 There are [-] guards, and thirteen castles, including Xiuyan Fort, Zhenjiang Fort, and Xianshan Fort, all spread out along the Yalu River.

It can be said that today's Liaodong is fully capable of serving as a frontline strategic fulcrum after the war against North Korea. Liaodong can support a 20-scale war and achieve self-sufficiency in military supplies without relying on others but on its own. "

Chen Yunfu nodded frequently, looked back at Yu Yifeng and asked, "How many Dingkou are there in Liaodong now?"

"Ming nationality is 320 million, North Korean nationality is 57."

"it is good!"

Chen Yunfu praised: "You have made great achievements."

The two smiled.

After entering the Guangning Zhongwei Office, Wang Bi introduced to Chen Yunfu the changes in the current Liaodong Capital Division restructuring process.

"Guangning Guard used to have 900-household guards, with 2000 military households. Now they are being gradually dismantled. We have selected [-] of the most capable people to be incorporated into the new Liaodong military camp. Tian and leisure training were completely transformed into frontier troops.

In addition, under the guidance of the special staff of the Economic and Strategic Commissioner, [-] people who can read and write were selected to establish the Guangning Taxation Department Yamen, and to carry out the task of tax collection in line with the current national policy of one-stop payment of grain.

The rest of them changed their military registration to agricultural registration in an all-round way, and the land was returned to the people, so that they could survive in farming. "

"Today, 12% of the 1 guards of the Liaodong Capital Division have been covered in the reform process. We plan to fully implement the reform by the middle of next year. We will form a garrison border army of about [-] people and set up [-] tax departments. The total number of Yamen is around [-], covering all the prefectures and counties in Liaodong."

Chen Yunfu raised his head, looked at the map of Liaodong Kanyu hanging on the wall in the Weisuo hall, nodded while listening to Wang Bi's introduction, and spoke after the latter finished his introduction.

"It's so good. After the restructuring is fully completed, the Liaodong Capital Division and the Liaodong Economic Strategy Division will be eliminated."

Wang Bi and Yu Yifeng looked at each other and nodded, knowing what Chen Yunfu meant.

"In the future, the establishment of Liaozhou, how to do the administrative planning here, the auxiliary committee will discuss with the future king of Liao. Whether you two plan to stay here or return to Nanjing, you can consider it now."

Yu Yifeng was the first to speak: "I have been an official in Liaodong for many years, and I have deep feelings for it. In the past two years, I even took the whole family to the Liaoyang camp. The grand master is here, and I asked to stay in Liaozhou. "

Chen Yunfu hummed and looked at Wang Bi, who scratched his head: "Master, I'm going back to Nanjing."

For this answer, Chen Yunfu was not surprised at all, after all, the status and circumstances of the two were different, and their respective considerations could not be the same.

Wang Bi is Lanyu's brother, so of course he can't stay in Liaozhou. Would it be more comfortable to hang out with Changmao than to hang out with Lanyu in Mengzhou?
As for Yu Yifeng.

No one knows Liaodong's government affairs and people's livelihood better than him. He stayed. After Liaozhou was established, the regime of the Chang family dynasty was established, and Yu Yifeng was definitely the first chief assistant.

It may also be called the prime minister, no matter what, Yu Yifeng will become the first minister of the Liaozhou regime.

This is not much more comfortable than his return to Nanjing.

For the future of the family, Yu Yifeng made the most correct and appropriate choice.

However, Chen Yunfu still asked Yu Yifeng: "Don't think about it anymore?"

After returning to Nanjing, according to Yu Yifeng's contributions over the years, it is a certainty that he will join the Military and Political Council. Maybe in the future, he can become the king of Kyushu.

Yu Yifeng understood what Chen Yunfu meant, and shook his head with a smile: "Grand Master, I do have feelings for this land."

Staying in Liaodong not only has the consideration of future interests, but also has a feeling.

Benefits are not everything, and Yu Yifeng is not a person with too much ambition.

Chen Yunfu nodded with a smile: "Okay, since you have already made up your mind, I won't persuade you much, I just wronged you."

"It's all the gift of the grand master that the lower officials are today, so how can I say I'm wronged."

Chen Yunfu smiled and stopped persuading them. He stayed in Guangning that night and had a not-so-rich, but very lively dinner with the two of them.

The next day, we set off early in the morning, inspected Ningyuan and Jinxi successively, and finally looked at Liaodong Bay at Wanghai Terrace.

"We can take a boat from here to the east, directly arrive at Lianyun Island, and get off at Gaizhou Wukou."

Yu Yifeng said: "In recent years, sea transportation in Liaodong has become more and more convenient, saving a lot of time on footwork. Many businessmen from Hebei have come to Liaodong from Pingjin to do business, and they have frequent contacts."

Chen Yunfu readily agreed, but Yang Shiqi was a little worried.

"There are storms and waves at sea, and there is no safety on land."

The son of a daughter can't sit down. If a person goes to the sea, he will entrust his life to God. Although there has been no major storm in Liaodong Bay for many years, who can say for sure.

"So many fishermen who rely on the sea to eat the sea have never had any accidents. What are you afraid of?"

Chen Yunfu knew that Yang Shiqi was concerned about his own safety, but he still insisted on his own opinion, and boarded the Dongdu ship at Wanghaitai.

"This is a lucky boat."

"Yes."

Yu Yifeng responded: "The drawings of the Fuzhou shipyard are now being produced by three major shipyards in Liaodong. About 20 ships can be placed in two years. The whole ship can accommodate 400 sailors. It is equipped with crossbows, cannons and There are a variety of long-range naval warfare weapons such as trebuchets."

"This is the treasure of our country."

Chen Yunfu stood at the bow of the boat, caressing the hull of the boat, and exclaimed: "In the "Old Tang Book", the Arabs landed in Guangzhou by boat from Tianzhu for the first time, and brought the blueprint of a sea-going ship that can sail far to our country. With the Guangzhou Tonghaiyi Road, the Quanzhou and Guangzhou Shipyards, and then the Fuzhou Shipyard.

Since then, our ancestors have set foot on Arabia and East Africa, and let our ancestors know how big the sky is, and the glory of our ancestors has been passed down to us. We must not embarrass our ancestors. It is necessary to develop the shipbuilding and navigation industries, and strive to build sea ships that are bigger and sail farther than Arabia. "

Yu Yifeng is no stranger to the place name of Arabia. He knows it is Tianfang, but is it East Africa?
"The land where Kunlun slaves live."

Chen Yunfu looked at the boundless sea, the sky and the sea formed a line at the end of his line of sight, making it difficult to distinguish.

"That land is rich in gold and various minerals. Like Tianzhu, it has abundant resources and cheap manpower."

Talking, Chen Yunfu patted Yu Yifeng's shoulder and said with a smile.

"But there are backward and ignorant people. They are all uncivilized barbarians. We need to spread civilization."

Yu Yifeng then laughed out.

"Yeah, we are a kingdom of heaven, and we have an obligation to bring civilization to them."

That day will come.
