- Already middle-aged, their energy and physical strength are not as good as those of young people, and they are very tired of life at sea. They want to live a normal life. Not to mention Li Xiang is very supportive, even Zhao Hongyu is very supportive. Supported.
Because the reason is very simple, after these people leave Li Xiang, Li Xiang's power will weaken here in Kyushu. Without these old brothers around, Li Xiang wouldn't have too many selfish thoughts.
This is a good thing for Zhao Hongyu, so why wouldn't he support it?
¡°And when these people go to San Francisco, they can still reclaim land and stand with Wang Shan to protect the interests of San Francisco. After all, they are local and have land.
By then, if the Indians in San Francisco want to harm the empire, then men like Li Xiang will definitely stand up and work with Wang Shan to deal with those Indians.
This means that there is an invisible boost.
With these people joining San Francisco, they can also increase the local population and make San Francisco lively and prosperous.
After all, the local Indians who surrendered did not know how to develop themselves.
Ethnic groups like the Mohawks are quite different among Indians. Of course, they became like this because of their frequent contact with Zhao Hongyu.
¡°For example, most of the Indians in Manhattan still don¡¯t know how to do business. They would rather use their monthly militia salary to make money by hunting from time to time than do business.
¡°So judging from the thinking of Indians here in Manhattan, the Indians here in San Francisco must also be like this.
¡°So after these people on Amami Island go to San Francisco, they won¡¯t be too peaceful if they have land. Doing some small business or something will definitely happen.
With their joining, San Francisco will slowly develop.
Although Wang Shan will definitely let his genetic people do business, there must always be someone to compete in order to make progress, right?
Looking back, looking at those young people who want to stay in Kyushu, their placement is an issue that needs to be carefully considered.
Unlike those who have made up their mind to leave, these young people still have passion and drive. They don¡¯t want to lose their ideals at such a young age.
Only those who have no motivation will go to America.
They don¡¯t want to spend their whole lives like this.
For these people, Zhao Hongyu has only one request, and that is to seek their status in the navy based on their specialties, abilities and skills.
Although he is Li Xiang¡¯s subordinate, Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t want to do anything special.
Li Xiang was able to become the naval admiral because of special reasons.
But those of his men can¡¯t.
??And giving them a high status rashly is quite unfair to the other genetic people under his command.
Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t want to cause genetic people to have opinions about him because of such things, and at the same time, there will be problems that reduce loyalty.
So, let the young people under Li Xiang who are willing to stay and join the navy demonstrate their abilities.
As long as they are capable people, it is okay to give them some status.
But if you don¡¯t have any abilities, then I¡¯m sorry, just be a soldier.
Of course, it¡¯s not impossible to get ahead as a soldier.
If you have been around for a long time and know how to be a better person. Then it may not be impossible to improve one's status in the future, but it will only take time.
Zhao Hongyu would not do that if he thoughtlessly gave them a high position.
So, when Zhao Hongyu said this to Li Xiang, Li Xiang understood immediately.
In fact, Li Xiang personally supports Zhao Hongyu¡¯s approach.
He knew very well his position in the Song Empire, and what he should do and say.
¡°After all, he is a veteran. If he can¡¯t even understand these issues, then wouldn¡¯t he be in vain?
?According to the young crown prince¡¯s meaning, it can be explained clearly in one sentence.
Those who are capable will live there!
Yes, as long as you have the ability, you can get a good position in the navy with your own ability. But if you don't have the ability, you can only be a soldier.
Even the crown prince can open his mouth and give these people a good position.
However, in the Navy?Can those Song soldiers be convinced?
We are all human beings. If you have the ability, you might as well say something.
As time goes by, if you don¡¯t have the ability, no one will be convinced by you at all.
This situation is particularly prominent in the military.
Although people won¡¯t say anything on the surface, they can still make it difficult for you behind the scenes by wearing small shoes or something.
It would be terrible if something like this happened.
"It's okay at ordinary times, but if you encounter a battle at seahow can you be safe?"
Therefore, you can only integrate into the Imperial Navy well if you show your ability to convince others.
At the same time, the Imperial Navy already has a large number of people, so they are considered outsiders.
Even though he was greeted by the crown prince, Li Xiang himself was still the admiral.
But they will also be rejected in the early stages.
Who makes them ¡®outsiders¡¯?
Therefore, if you want your subordinates to integrate into the Imperial Navy and gain some status, you can only let them earn based on their abilities impartially.
Only in this way can those young people who want to join the Navy truly integrate into this group. And as time went by, the naval officers and soldiers of the Song Empire truly accepted them.
"Your Highness, I will say this to those boys. I think they can understand His Highness's painstaking efforts. After all, this is for their own good."
Li Xiang answered after thinking through these points.
Zhao Hongyu looked at Li Xiang seriously and said: "If someone doesn't understand, then they must not join the Navy. In fact, you should also understand that the military is not like other organizations. If you want to gain a foothold in the military, you must You have to have the ability. Whether you want dignity or power, you can only earn it with your military exploits and abilities in the military. If you can understand it, you are smart. If you can't understand it, there is no need to say anything."
On this issue, Zhao Hongyu was obviously not willing to waste any more words with Li Xiang.
Li Xiang also understood Zhao Hongyu¡¯s meaning and attitude.
So, he nodded and agreed.
"Okay, next I want to talk to you about the defense of Kyushu waters. In fact, the matters of your subordinates can be easily solved, and you don't have to worry about it at all."
After Zhao Hongyu finished talking about the placement of Li Xiang's men, he laughed and was no longer so serious.
Li Xiang also slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, what he was most afraid of was that Zhao Hongyu did not want those young people to join the navy. Fortunately, such worries were somewhat unnecessary. The crown prince did not reject this point.
Although those young people are required to gain status through their own abilities, Li Xiang feels that this approach is also good for those young people and is not a bad thing.
Now, His Highness was going to talk about the naval defense issues in Kyushu, and Li Xiang showed a listening look.
"In the future, the main enemy that the Kyushu navy must guard against is the Japanese. After all, I snatched this place in Kyushu from the Japanese. It is impossible for the Japanese to swallow this bad breath like this."
Zhao Hongyu tried his best to talk to Li Xiang about this issue in a relaxed tone.
Yes, Kyushu was controlled by Zhao Hongyu after he captured the shogun and the emperor, forced the Japanese to sign an agreement, and expelled the Daimyos of Kyushu by force.
It is impossible for the Japanese to swallow this breath.
"It's just that the Japanese are now caught in a chaotic power struggle, and they don't have much energy to pay attention to them for the time being.
Once the battle between the Japanese becomes clear and a winner is determined, the Japanese will definitely launch a battle for Kyushu.
Zhao Hongyu could imagine this situation even if he thought about it with his buttocks.
So, Kyushu¡¯s future defense will mainly be against the Japanese.
Zhao Hongyu, the navy commander of the Ming Dynasty, did not have to worry at all. Without the order of the court, those people did not dare to attack him.
What¡¯s more, the current forces of Jiuzhou and Zhao Hongyu have no conflict of interest with the navy of the Ming Dynasty. And even if a conflict occurs, it is not the responsibility of a small naval commander to make the decision.
You must understand that Kyushu is already the territory of the Song Empire.
??????????????????????????????????????????? Once a quarrel breaks out and a war breaks out between the two countries in the development city, there will be a lot of things involved.
The Ming Dynasty will not let itself fall into this kind of war, because what they need is stability.
So, for Ming DynastyZhao Hongyu was not worried at all.
"Your Highness, what we are mainly on guard against are the Japanese, but Zheng Zhilong in the south" After Li Xiang heard this and thought for a while, he gritted his teeth and mentioned his old enemy Zheng Zhilong.
Yes, Zheng Zhilong has been peeking at the water trade channel of Japan. After all, the sea channel here is still connected to Korea.
¡° In Korea, ginseng, mink fur, and Korean dancers are also very profitable products. Zheng Zhilong has always been greedy, and he will never let it go.
Although Zheng Zhilong himself is the chief officer of the Fujian Navy, his younger brother still controls the Zheng family's huge pirate fleet, so he has to guard against Zheng Zhilong.
¡°Besides, Li Xiang has taken refuge with Zhao Hongyu. If Zheng Zhilong finds out about this, God knows what Zheng Zhilong will think, and because Zheng Zhilong doesn't know much about the Song Empire, maybe something will happen to him.
In other words, conflicts may occur at any time.
Of course, the more important point is that Li Xiang hopes to use Zhao Hongyu's power to defeat Zheng Zhilong and take revenge.
How could Zhao Hongyu not know Li Xiang¡¯s little thoughts?
So, when Zhao Hongyu heard Li Xiang mention Zheng Zhilong, he looked at Li Xiang with a half-smile but not a smile for a while. In the end, Li Xiang felt a little embarrassed, so she explained awkwardly: "Your Highness, I admit that I have a grudge against Zheng Zhilong, but my subordinates have indeed seriously considered this issue. Now Naha has fallen into Zheng Zhilong is in the hands of Zheng Zhilong, and we also abandoned Amami Island when we left. If we can¡¯t protect it, Zheng Zhilong will send a fleet to come. With Zheng Zhilong¡¯s always domineering character, maybe there will be a naval battle between us and him.¡±
What Li Xiang said is right. Zheng Zhilong now has all the conditions for the overlord of the Eastern Sea. Even his men and himself think that he is now the overlord of the sea.
So, now the Zheng family¡¯s fleet imposes a heavy protection fee on all ships conducting trade at sea.
This fee is even much higher than in Li Xiang¡¯s time.
Of course, you can refuse to pay the protection fee if you are not convinced, but the consequences of not paying the protection feeall fools know.
At the same time, the Zheng family¡¯s fleet also formed its own caravan and controlled all the profitable commodities on the southeast coast.
Now that the Zheng family is the dominant one, no one can check or balance him.
Therefore, even the big guys who supported him in the past did not dare to offend the Zheng family fleet that monopolized the sea.
Although those big guys regret it now, they can only taste their own bitter fruits.
No one would have thought that Zheng Zhilong would be more domineering and difficult to deal with than Li Xiang. At least when Li Xiang controlled the sea, everyone made money, but Zheng Zhilong obviously likes to eat alone.
Therefore, with Zheng Zhilong¡¯s character, how could he give up such a treasure trove of Japanese countries?
You must know that the Japanese country is rich in gold, and gold is cheap and silver is expensive in the Japanese country. The profit from getting silver from the Ming Dynasty to Japan and turning it into gold is enviable.
At the same time, the Japanese country was short of copper. The copper from the Ming Dynasty could be exchanged for a lot of silver in the Japanese country. This was a hugely profitable business.
Not to mention Goguryeo¡¯s ginseng and mink skin, as well as other precious medicinal materials.
Zheng Zhilong has no reason to give up.
In other words, Jiuzhou will definitely have a great conflict of interest with Zheng Zhilong in the future. And there is no way to avoid this conflict, it will definitely happen.
After Zhao Hongyu thought for a while, his expression gradually became serious.
"Well, the issue you mentioned needs to be carefully considered. What's more, you have already killed one of his leaders, so it is impossible for Zheng Zhilong to swallow this breath. If he doesn't do something, what will happen to him? The prestige has a great influence."
Thinking that when Li Xiang returned to Amami Island to pick up people, she had a conflict with Zheng Zhilong's men. Although it was Wang Ren who sent out the attack, it had nothing to do with Li Xiang.
But the problem cannot be viewed this way.
First of all, Wang Renzeng is Zheng Zhilong's man, so doing Wang Renzeng means not giving Zheng Zhilong face. What's more, Li Xiang cut Wang Renzeng into pieces with thousands of swords and executed even the prisoners.
Thinking about it, Zheng Zhilong was determined not to swallow this bad breath.
Not to mention the huge interests of Goguryeo on the Japanese side.
"We can't lose Amami Island, station troops there, and recapture Naha in a short time. We need to let Zheng Zhilong know how powerful we are, so that he won't dare to take our chances."
Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t want an all-out war to break out with Zheng Zhilong, after all, he was about to leave for the Ming Dynasty.
By then, the main focus will be to immigrate from the Ming Dynasty, so the war is not in Zhao Hongyu¡¯s interests.
"I hope you know what I mean. I don't want a full-scale conflict with Zheng Zhilong to break out in the short term. The empire has its own interests. Are you clear?"
Zhao Hongyu asked Li Xiang seriously and seriously.
