Two hundred and twenty-six chapters save people, corrupt the Jurchen nobles, kill two birds with one stone
"Sir, don't forget that we have Westerners like John!" Chen Yuanyun said incredibly.
"Those Westerners? What role can they play in this matter?" Zhao Yongyan asked in confusion.
Since John and his team came to Taiwan, although they have paid very good life, their income is at the absolute upper level. They have also joined forces to establish a wool textile factory in Taiwan, which can basically be regarded as part of Taiwan.
However, the innate racial differences prevented them from entering the top leadership of Taiwan. Even John, who was the highest among them, only served as the director of the Commerce Department in Keelung. Several former officers and soldiers held positions in the military, but they were mainly responsible for the training of recruits. Most of the others entered the school and served as teachers.
Now Chen Yuanyun suddenly mentioned them, which made everyone who had basically forgotten these people and was puzzled.
"I think I understand what you mean." Xiao Ming patted his head and cursed himself as a pig's brain.
"We can let John and the others come forward to rescue the Han people in Liaodong by redemption." Chen Yuanyun said with a smile, with a very proud expression.
"No, in this way, aren't we indirectly investing in the enemy? With enough money, the development of Later Jin will be faster, which may be a greater disaster for all Han people." Tang Hongsheng opposed.
"I think it's OK. We don't have to use money to redeem the Han people in Liaodong." Xiao Ming said with a dry smile.
At this time, Xiao Minggan had already fully understood Chen Yuanyun's plan. That's right, he used the luxury goods from Taiwan to go to Liaodong to redeem the Han people.
In recent years, there have been quite a lot of luxury goods for takeout in Taiwan, including sugar, glass, wool textiles, etc. These things are extremely expensive in other places, and they will not substantially enhance the strength of the Later Jin Dynasty. It is perfect to use these things to bribe the senior executives of the Later Jin Dynasty.
After Xiao Minggan expressed these ideas, everyone present was happy. This method can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It can not only help the Han people in Liaodong, but also corrupt the senior officials of the Jurchens. After most of the Han people were rescued, the senior officials of the Jurchens who had already developed the habit had to collect money from ordinary Jurchens to continue to enjoy these things.
"Sir, Liaodong is bitter and cold, and grain production is a problem. After the bumper harvest in recent years, our Taiwan grain has been in stock, and the grain in stock has become very large. If we don't consume a little, I'm afraid that the grain will rot. We might as well take out some of the excess grain in stock to make wine. In this way, we not only have an additional commodity that can be used to redeem the Liaodong Han people, but also make the Liaodong Jurchens accustomed to drinking a lot of alcohol. Think about it, if we stop the supply of wine in Liaodong a few years in advance after we are ready to send troops to Liaodong, what do you think will happen?"
It is really endless to say that this literati is bad. Chen Yuanyun's plan can be said to be extremely sinister. Everyone couldn't help but think of a scene in their minds. After Taiwan stopped supplying alcohol to Liaodong, the spoiled Jurchen senior officials could have to consume a lot of their food to make wine. This situation is completely disastrous for Liaodong.
When everyone thought of this, they shivered in a difficult situation. The eyes of Chen Yuanyun looked at him as if you were really poisonous.
"Hey! What's your expression? I'm also for the Han people in Liaodong and the great cause of our Taiwan." The expressions of everyone made Chen Yuanyun extremely unhappy.
"Haha! Everyone, don't tease the squad. This is indeed a good idea. And I think that in addition to these luxury goods, we can also add some cold weapons carefully made of steel, such as swords and swords that cut iron like mud. After all, not everyone will be interested in those things for enjoyment. When they meet these people, they can use this kind of thing to impress them. Don't forget that until now, those Jurchens are poor people who have never seen the world. With these things, corroding them in all aspects, I don't believe that they will not be caught."
After saying this, Xiao Minggan gave Chen Yuanyun a thumbs up. Among these people, only Chen Yuanyun is a strategic talent with strategic vision. Others, such as Tang Hongsheng, are internal affairs talents, Li Yuanxin, Wu Yundong, Lu Yuanzhi, Lin Hongwen, Yang Musen and others are all professional talents.
They are all very outstanding in their own fields. After Taiwan gave them a stage, they all made extremely outstanding achievements. However, when encountering this kind of strategic layout problem, they cannot help Xiao Ming, and cannot give him any good advice, and it is even more difficult to find out what Xiao Ming did.
Therefore, Xiao Minggan was very glad that he could get Chen Yuanyun, a talented man. It can be said that in addition to Tang Hongsheng, Chen Yuanyun is the person Xiao Minggan values the most.
"But these things cannot be accomplished by relying on John and the others alone. Mr. Lu, Hong Wen, your Intelligence Bureau must cooperate with them in this matter. Remember, you must pay close attention to collecting information from the senior officials of the Later Jin Dynasty. If there is any information that is not conducive to them, you must notify them to evacuate as soon as possible. Although John and the others are Westerners, they are also our companions, and they can even be said to be our friends, so they cannot be hurt." Xiao Minggan ordered seriously.
"Please rest assured, Governor, the Intelligence Bureau will do its best to complete this task." Lu Yuanzhi and Lin Hongwen immediately assured.
"Well! That's good. This matter is too dangerous and must be kept strictly confidential. Therefore, I don't plan to let ordinary merchants participate, so from today on, ordinary merchants are no longer allowed to participate in the ships used to transport the people of Liaodong. All the First Shipping Company and First Fleet owned by the military government are responsible for transportation and escorting. Mr. Wu, Uncle Yongyan, please worry." After receiving the guarantee from Lu Yuanzhi and Lin Hongwen, Xiao Minggan ordered Wu Yundong and Zhao Yongyan again.
"Yes, Governor!" Wu Yundong and Zhao Yongyan stood up and saluted each other.
"Well! This is the general strategy. What should be done in the future will be improved. Jiaer, I will call on John and Father Jason to come later."
"Okay, I'll go and have someone convey the order now." As he said that, Song Jia hurriedly left, and she was in a hurry.
"Haha! Xiao Jia'er doesn't look like a girl at all. I think she will definitely become a female general as she wishes when she grows up." Zhao Shoufu looked at Song Jia's back lovingly and said with a smile. Don't you know that his words became a reality ten years later.
