Chapter 182 High Heel Plan
Chen Liang is now on the verge of arrows. Lin Gui and He Zhu are both hurrying to recruit soldiers. According to the plan, after the Lantern Festival, they will go to the Isthmus of Kra, camp in the east and west of Kra, and then start construction just now. Of course, before that, their Malay Holdings shares were also given a title, but Chen Liang has absolute authority. These two guys can only obey orders in front of Chen Liang, and Chen Liang also asked himself that he would treat them fairly. Therefore, the shares would not affect Lin Gui and He Zhu's itinerary at all.
But now I learned that there are still big troubles in the Isthmus of Kra. Can work be started under such conditions? If the work is not started, what will Lin Gui and He Zhu say? The king and his ministers of Annan are already planning to recruit young and strong people. Could it be that they can stop?
Chen Liang was furious and thought of a way to solve the problem by force. Damn! Since the chief was ignorant, he would destroy him. But there were more than 10,000 tribe members, and the chiefs around him might also help. The Song people who could mobilize him, even pirates, were all composed of only 1,500 soldiers. As for the Annan people, they were enough to have great reputation when fighting the superior war, but once they were defeated, the Annan people would not be able to protect them from taking advantage of the situation.
After thinking about it, the force you have mastered seems too weak, and you don’t take any advantage of the time, place, people and everything. If you start fighting rashly, you may be humiliated by yourself.
So, Chen Liang thought of the mines and muskets created by Mao Geng, which could not be used as decorations. Now it is time to let them come in handy.
Mao Geng is still on his honeymoon at this moment, and he is in love with Su Zhiyan.
In a blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of the first lunar month. Mao Geng received a pigeon book from Chen Liang that day. Mao Geng translated it himself. When he saw the content, he thought to himself that this was a troublesome thing.
Mao Geng knew about Chen Liang's intention to build a road connecting the Thai Sea and the Indian Ocean in Kra Isthmus, and even enjoyed it.
Mao Geng has certainly no longer known the strategic position of the Strait of Malacca since later generations. Thailand repeatedly wanted to build the Kara Canal to break the monopoly position of the Malacca Strait. Moreover, after the Kara Canal is built, it will not only charge fees, but the entire area of Kara Isthmus will become a regional economic center. But Thailand can be said to have been hurt by excessive democracy. It is more difficult for the government to do something big than climbing to the sky. In addition, the ethnic entanglements in the Kara Isthmus are also a headache, so the Kara Canal plan has been sung for many years, but in the end there was no movement.
Back in the 12th century, if the Chinese merchants of the Song Dynasty could buy the Isthmus from the natives, build roads, conduct water and land transport first, and then build canals several years later, the strategic significance would be unquestionable. If this was done by Chen Liang, it would certainly be a great thing for the Song Dynasty.
As for the leader of the Isthmus of Kra, Mao Geng didn't know anything about it at all. In Mao Geng's impression, Qu Lai San was just an unlucky villain. He went on stage and hurriedly showed off his face, and was killed by the screenwriter in the name of the plot--No! To be precise, he was killed by suicide.
The current situation is either that Song San sent by Chen Liang was wrong in dealing with it, or that the local natives were too obsessed with loving their hometown. Well, the latter is more likely. It is said that Chen Liang prefers big money and is willing to spend money on the land of the Isthmus of Kra Isthmus. It must be that the other party's chief only knows how to calculate the emotional accounts and cannot calculate the economic accounts.
This reminded Mao Geng of the time when the Song army landed in Taiwan, there was a clan indigenous people who were obsessed with the truth and resisted demolition. Until now, they were still dead. Information shows that others were actually very moved by cooperation with the Song Dynasty. The stubborn and refused to cooperate was actually the leader of their group. Mao Geng thought at the time that after the muskets that could be accurately shot came out, this stubborn guy would be not far from his death.
These guys who were dying caused trouble again before the New Year and almost killed Wu Xi. Damn! If Wu Xi was killed by them, he would have suffered a disaster, but he was not dead. Now his injuries gradually recovered. Look at his posture, before his injuries were recovering, he had already jumped around happily. After a long time, he would definitely be a rioter.
Well, after all, Zhao Han is suppressed by Wu Xi, so there is no need to worry too much.
Chen Liang wanted to use force to try to carry out violent demolition in the Isthmus of Kra, and also supported mines and muskets by himself, thinking that he was like this! I am afraid that Zhao Yan would not dare to make decisions easily, and he would probably ask Zhao Shen for instructions. According to Zhao Shen's temperament, he might not be able to provoke easily.
Mao Geng was so upset about Chen Liang's affairs that Su Zhiyan ran into the study excitedly, and said with a smile:
"Genglang, let me tell you, I just went to the Duke's headquarters, do you know! The Duke's wife also wore high heels today. Hehe, her little feet were wearing special high heels specially made for her, shaking left and right, which was really funny!"
Speaking of the wedding of Mao Geng and Su Zhiyan that day, it attracted a lot of attention. Since that day, wedding dresses and high heels have become the wedding fashion of the Special Administrative Region. Yan Rui originally made more than a dozen pairs of model high heels at Mao Geng's suggestion, but was snatched away the next day. What was unexpected was that among the newlyweds who were preparing for the wedding, more than half of them designated to follow the trend to imitate Chief Mao's wedding show, and also to parade in a convertible carriage, wearing wedding dresses and placing high heels. In addition to making high heels, Yan Rui had to sew several wedding dresses urgently. Not only did they have white wedding dresses, but the more popular red wedding dresses also made it grandly. The business of selling high heels and renting wedding dresses is really good. In addition, Yan Rui's singing and dancing team had to take a look and sing "The Flowers and the Moon Night".
There were many people getting married during the Spring Festival, but the new-style wedding was the only one that surpassed the traditional wedding. During this period, Yan Rui was so busy that she became the number one wedding in the Special Administrative Region.
Mao Geng was originally very opposed to the foot binding of the Song Dynasty women, but the foot binding became increasingly fierce, so Mao Geng had to use the trick of high heels, so Mao Geng directed and staged a unique wedding show. The core content was actually the appearance of high heels at that moment. Now it seems that the effect is extraordinary.
Of course, this is also due to Su Zhiyan. Su Zhiyan is not as restricted as a Han woman. Instead, she thinks wedding high heels are novel and interesting. In addition, it is the man Mao Geng who is begging him, so Su Zhiyan will naturally not refuse. If she were a famous lady from the Song Dynasty, she would probably not be able to perform this high heel show.
Later, Zhao Yan's wife also thought the high heels were beautiful, but she regretted that she had small feet. Despite this, Yan Rui's shoemaking company still made a pair of high heels. Just imagine, how can you wear high heels with small feet? It's good not to fall.
Mao Geng laughed too.
His eyes stared at Su Zhiyan, which made Su Zhiyan feel shy and her face was filled with happiness.
Mao Geng took Su Zhiyan's hand and praised:
"It's only good to wear high heels on your feet."
Su Zhiyan said coquettishly:
"I'm talking about it! It's you who made these high heels that hurt people. They look good when wearing them, but you'll suffer when you walk."
"Is it more painful than foot binding?"
"That's not."
When Su Zhiyan thought of the kind of crime that a foot binding woman suffered, she immediately felt that the pain of wearing high heels seemed nothing. But no matter how uncomfortable she was, she actually had to wear high heels whenever she went out. The high heels designed by Geng Lang looked so beautiful, and they were very happy, and she especially liked them.
Su Zhiyan's expression is so cute now, especially her tone of speaking, which is really fascinating.
Mao Geng couldn't help but pull Su Zhiyan over, picked up the face that he never got tired of looking at, and kissed her deeply.
*******
In the afternoon, Mao Geng took Tan Xiaochun, Kang Xiaolu, Chi Liang and Ma Wu to the shooting range.
The paper-shelled bullet has been made, and the bullet is a copper-shell lead core. In order to test the shooting performance, the four people she brought have been doing test shooting tests these days. Mao Geng felt that although Kang Xiaolu was a shooter he focused on, Kang Xiaolu was talented, and Ma Wu was better and better.
Mao Geng was very satisfied with today's shooting results.
When Ma Wu played two nine rings in a row, Mao Geng made a decision in his heart. He had to support Chen Liang's plan for Kra Isthmus, otherwise it would be a pity that he would fail.
It is impossible to support Chen Liang beyond his authority. It is impossible for Chen Liang to have a batch of mines and muskets, but it is not a problem to send Kang Xiaolu and Ma Wu to the Isthmus with muskets to the Kra Isthmus.
Mao Geng's plan was to hunt the Kara Chief who refused to move his nest without knowing it, and to promote Chen Liang's Kara Isthmus demolition plan without knowing it.
In later generations, such sniper plans will have a code name, and Mao Geng decided to call this operation the code name "high heel plan".
