Chapter 167 Layout!
Liang Pengfei saw the expressions of Luo Fangbo and Ye Shanglin, but he still continued regardless: "These have a precondition."
"...Please ask your nephew to speak clearly." Luo Fangbo and Ye Shanglin looked at each other and saw the doubts in each other's eyes. It seemed that this condition was the key point.
"I'm telling you that the Lanfang Republic does not have an army, but some teams of outlaws who smuggled from the mainland to get wealth and various rewards from you by defending the people of Lanfang Republic, right?"
Luo Fangbo nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, although there are some differences, it is not bad. The vast majority of the soldiers of our Lanfang Republic are recruiting exiled pirates, outlaws who have suffered lawsuits on the mainland, and even some Westerners wanted by the West. It is also because these people don't trust each other and each other is a collective, so it is difficult to dispatch and command uniformly. I hurt my head for this matter. Although our Lanfang Republic has also formed an army by itself, but..." Luo Fangbo's expression seemed a little embarrassed, which was shared by the Chinese and the local indigenous people. He was a little embarrassed to say about the combat effectiveness of the army.
"My precondition is... I will send a mercenary stationed in the Lanfang Republic. If there is any war in Lanfang Republic, they will help you solve it. Of course, I need you to provide their weapons, supplies, artillery, even warships, and the money needed to hire them." Liang Pengfei's voice was very low, but Luo Fangbo and Ye Shanglin still heard it clearly.
Luo Fangbo, who quickly calculated what Liang Pengfei meant in his head, soon understood, which was equivalent to saying that Liang Pengfei's appetite was not small. He produced an army, and all the supplies and armed equipment of this army must be paid by Lanfang Republic.
"Pengfei, your family should not be short of money, right?" As one of the thirteen giant merchants in Guangzhou, Ye Shanglin made his own judgment, stepped forward and whispered in Liang Pengfei's ear.
"Why is there no shortage?" Liang Pengfei rolled his eyes and changed his expression, like a scholar who was so poor that he was about to change his trousers for food, and like a beggar who was ready to sneak into the farmer's field to steal vegetables. My nest has to spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year. Now it occupies the central archipelago of Luzon. It just migrates the population, transfers all kinds of materials, buys living utensils, seeds, and builds houses and fortresses. These are all white silver. In addition, my nephew can have this day. Don't you know that I just go to Fu Dashuai. It's stuffed with this amount of silver. Liang Pengfei stretched out three fingers, trembling slightly, as if the dying Grandet was drawing three wicks.
Ye Shanglin couldn't help taking a cold breath, raising his eyes and looking at Liang Pengfei and muttering in his heart, "Will this boy be valued by Marshal Fu? Just smashing millions of taels of silver, even if he is a fool, I'm afraid he will make Marshal Fu have it with his own eyes, not to mention that his nephew is so capable.
The dialogue between Liang Pengfei and Ye Shanglin is equivalent to explaining the reason why Liang Pengfei gave such conditions. This made Luo Fangbo, who was originally confused, bright. Indeed, the Lanfang Republic went to recruit people with one stick. It was not only the quality of the recruited staff uneven, but also easy to form one small group after another, and there were often conflicts inside, which led to his general system often for his own army. The troubles inside are annoying. If all the pirates of the Liang family are used, the first point is that the contradictions within the personnel do not need to be scratched by themselves.
--------------------
When Luo Fangbo and Ye Shanglin left Liang Mansion, they were in a happy mood like a little bee picking flowers in spring. Luo Fangbo hummed a small tune. He never thought that it would be so smooth. The reward of this meeting was really beyond his expectations.
Ye Shanglin was also happy. His nephew finally gave him face. Such a big deal was also due to his nephew. If Liang Yuanxia thought of Liang's senior official, Ye Shanglin would have secretly curled his lips. Although it had been more than 20 years, in his heart, his sister married this Old man, it's really a loss.
Even now, with the efforts of his nephew, the Liang family has gradually emerged, but the problem is that the contradiction between him and Liang Yuanxia has turned into a subconscious that cannot be erased. It is no longer a question of right and wrong, just like a song sung by a song in later generations. When love has become a habit, these two big Guys should think that hatred has become a habit.
After Luo Fangbo and Ye Shanglin left, Liang Pengfei, who was sitting in the front hall, suddenly burst into a burst of laughter like a firecracker, just like a lottery buyer who won a five million prize and almost went crazy.
I was shocked by Liang Daguan and Sun Shijie who had just entered the front hall. Son of a bitch, why did you scare me? Official Liang was not angry.
"Dad, our Lao Liang family has sent it!" Liang Pengfei quickly got up to meet him. After letting the official Liang sit down, Liang Pengfei pulled out a cigar from the box on the table and gave it to the official Liang. After handing one to Sun Shijie, he was happy.
After hearing Liang Pengfei's statement, Liang Yuanxia and Sun Shijie couldn't help but be moved. Son, you're not crazy, are you? Liang's official touched Liang Pengfei's forehead and tried the temperature. He stamped his feet angrily and anxiously, "What kind of money does our Lao Liang family still lack? You are really..."
"Mr. Liang calms his anger. If you do this, you must naturally have his reason." Although Sun Shijie couldn't figure out what plane Liang Pengfei was doing, out of caution, and out of trust in Liang Pengfei, the owner who was full of bad water and would never suffer losses, he wanted to hear what demon moth Liang Pengfei had made.
"Dad, what do you think of our Lao Liang family now?" Liang Pengfei's calm expression also calmed Liang Yuanxia down. He knew better than anyone what kind of talent his son was, and he didn't need to think about Liang Pengfei's problem at all. Of course, it's better than before, and it's amazing.
"But have you ever thought about the future of our family?" Liang Pengfei also lighted a cigar for himself and smoked it beautifully. Anyway, now there are Bai Shusheng and monk Chen guarding outside the door. He is not afraid that I will come to catch him. Usually, he may smoke by himself, but because he is worried about his injury, Ye asked Liang Pengfei not to smoke these days, which made Liang Pengfei feel that the world's first non-smoker. It's Lin Zexu and it's his own mother.
"The future of our family? Of course, I have thought about it. Naturally, I will fully support you to rise up step by step for the glory of our old Liang family. In addition, the territory of Nanyang is also well managed, so that the descendants of our Lao Liang family can have a place to settle down.
"Dad, do you think a Central Luzon Archipelago is enough?"
Liang Yuanxia couldn't help but be stunned and looked at his son. Liang Pengfei didn't mean to joke at all. He looked serious. Next to him, Sun Shijie lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes like a clay sculpture bodhisattva, but the dialogue between Liang and his son all fell into his ears.
"Son, do you mean that you want to plot the Lanfang Republic?" Liang Yuanxia's eyes turned, and there was a shrewd and shrewd in her eyes. With the current strength of our old Liang family, I'm afraid it's not enough, right?
"Of course, it's not enough, but the meal is eaten one by one. My son is making it now, but he just dropped a pawn on the Borneo first." Liang Pengfei smiled and said, "My son is worried that he can't find any good reason. Who would have thought that Uncle Luo Fang and Uncle misunderstood that our family was short of money? It was simply tired and someone sent pillows. Dad, you think that we have tens of thousands of compatriots in the Central Islands of Luzon. Now, we have been trained under the training of Lu Guanshi and others. A group of troops can be put into battle, but now the Nanyang is chaotic, and the infiltration of those Western barbarians into the Nanyang is becoming more and more serious. Today, our Lao Liang family can have some achievements. In addition to their own ability, there are also elements of luck. More importantly, those Westerners have not been able to fully pay attention to us. If one day, they suddenly understand that we are their biggest opponent of colonizing Nanyang, or find that there are countless treasures in the territory we occupy. Dad, do you think we can compete with the current strength of our Liang family?
Liang Yuanxia was silent and shook his head for a long time. He really didn't think that he could deal with those Westerners just by relying on the current strength of the Liang family. In addition, he also knew that it was good for the court's attitude towards those Nanyang survivors.
Although his son has now become a general of the court, and most of his soldiers are Liang's children, this is just a thousand people. It is a crime of death to transfer troops without authorization.
"So, what my son wants is that by exporting arms and troops to the Lanfang Republic, we can not only make profits from our arms factory on Crab King Island, but also allow those craftsmen to gain more practical experience. Moreover, we can also form a large number of combat troops one after another that have experienced the baptism of blood and fire. ..." Liang Pengfei talked about the benefits one by one with his fingers. In the end, Liang Pengfei smiled: "Our army will gradually penetrate into the hearts of the people of the Lanfang Republic, making them get used to their existence, rely on their existence, and even can't lack their existence. If the time comes... ...”
Liang Pengfei didn't go on. Liang Yuanxia shook her head and looked satisfied. As for Sun Shijie, his eyes looking at Liang Pengfei were full of horror, and there was also something called respect.
Take ten steps in one step and foresight. Now he is an official in the court. It can even be said that soon, he will definitely climb up to the ranks of high-ranking officials. However, he is still forbearing and hiding his strength to prepare for accumulation.
This made Sun Shijie think of a sentence: If you don't sing, you will be amazed, if you don't fly, you will fly to the sky.
"It's amazing. This owner has met the requirements, but I don't know if he really wants to fly to the sky. If there is such a day, I'm really looking forward to it..." Sun Shijie said in his heart.
--------------------
Liang Pengfei was promoted to the standard guerrilla of Humen Town of Guangdong Marine Division, and the standard general of Humen Town of Guangdong Water Division. He suddenly jumped from the fifth grade to the position of third grade member. Although he dare not say that he had the fastest promotion in the country, at least it was second to none in Liangguang, and Liang Pengfei's outstanding achievements also made those jealous. The officials have nothing to say. At least, no one can stand up and question the court's reward for him.
"This is the secretary of the Ministry of the Ministry of Administration, and the co-organizers of the university scholar and Lord." Fukang An'an sat on the main seat and introduced Liang Pengfei with a smile to another middle-aged man who was also wearing a first-class official robe and looked very handsome.
"I've seen you and my lord." Liang Pengfei quickly got up and saluted the man respectfully.
"Ha ha, you don't have to be polite. Please get up quickly. This must be the captain of Nanyang Yi Kou, whom General Fu mentioned to He, and cracked the smuggling case of Xin'an. With only one battalion, he broke through the nest of Zheng Lianchang, the giant bandit of the Nanyang Red Flag Gang, and captured the Liang Pengfei Liang, who had more than a hundred relatives of Zheng Lianchang's wife and children, right?" After He Shen stretched out his hand, he turned his face and smiled at Fu Kang'an. Such a young hero, Marshal Fu is indeed a wise and talented.
Fu Kang comforted the long beard and nod and said with a smile, "Where is it, Pengfei, sit down. On the order of the emperor, he went to Guangdong to investigate the case of the governor of Guangzhou's fornication and smuggling. Because you have a lot to do with this case, he and the adult hoped that the governor could find a helper for him. The governor was the first to think of them. You, so I let you come to meet the adults. During your stay in Guangzhou with the adult, you should help the adult well... I'm going to leave for Qinghai. It's really uneasy not to explain things clearly.
"How could the marshal go to Qinghai?" Liang Pengfei couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Fu Kang'an in some astonishment.
Fu Kang'an glanced at He Shen with a smile, and He Shen smiled with understanding: "General Liang Shen may not know that in the middle of last year, the Gurkha army invaded Tibet..."
Hearing He Shen's explanation, Liang Pengfei knew that a major event had happened in Tibet. The Gurkha army invaded Tibet and intended to plunder the wealth of lama temples all over the country, but he was afraid of war by the generals of the Manchu Qing Dynasty at that time, Bazhong, E Hui and others, and bribed him to persuade him to withdraw with money and food. However, they did not stop. The next year, with a larger-scale invasion, there was almost no resistance from the local Tibetan soldiers or the garrison of the Qing army, so they were able to plunder.
After the news reached Yanjing, Qianlong was furious when he heard the news, but A Gui, the minister who could fight in the court, was already old. Qianlong soon thought of Fu Kang'an, who was far away as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Qianlong simply asked He Shen to investigate the case and sent a decree to Fu Kang'an by the way, appointing Fu Kang'an as a general, and Hailancha and Kui Lin as the counselors ministers. The troops entered Tibet through Qinghai to fight.
