Chapter 441: Enabling Nian Gengyao
Yinxiang's eyes lit up when he heard this. This is a really good way. In this way, even the confidential information can be transmitted through the pigeon letter. He couldn't help but say in admiration: "The 14th brother is really a talented person. Such a wonderful idea, he actually picked up the pigeon letter at will. In this way, the pigeon letter will be developed vigorously."
Yinzhen nodded. Now, there are at least one hundred years left before the invention of radio, and it can be fully developed. At least in Australia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Guangzhou, Fujian, and other areas, we must ensure a quick contact with the capital. More importantly, the Gexin is the only long-distance communication method for the Navy at present.
After pondering for a moment, Yinzhen said: "Arranging a dedicated person to be responsible and allocating special funds to cultivate a large number of pigeons in various strategic and economically prominent areas across the country, and laying pigeon channels. Currently, there are three key points: one is the navy, one is the South China Sea, and the other is the Northwest."
Hearing that Yinzhen once again focused on the Northwest, Yinxiang couldn't help but pay great attention to the Northwest. Lao Sisi was worried about the Northwest more than once, and there was no reason.
When he arrived in the northwest, Yinzhen suddenly remembered Nian Gengyao. After the navy sent troops to Europe and America, he was out of reach and there was no need to pay attention. It was time to free up his hands to turn to the northwest, Tsarist Russia and Japan. Nian Gengyao was cruel and bloodthirsty and cold-hearted, and was actually the best candidate for the conquest of Japan. Thinking of this, he changed the topic and said, "Thirteenth Brother, are you very familiar with Nian Gengyao. He is now the governor of Sichuan, and I wonder if he is willing to change to a military position?"
Nian Gengyao and Yinxiang were stunned when they heard this. Lao Si and Nian Gengyao had a festival in the capital. He once heard from the fourth brother that Lao Si suddenly proposed to let Nian Gengyao transfer his military position? Do you want to transfer Nian Gengyao to his command to avenge a single arrow?
Seeing Yinxiang looking at him in a daze, Yinzhen knew that he was thinking about it, and couldn't help but chuckled: "Where did the Thirteenth Brother want to go? I think Nian Gengyao's talent is not about literature but about martial arts. As the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to obtain, but a general is hard to find. My subordinates lack generals. Now the Qing Dynasty is also in decline and not focused on cultivating. Once there is a war, it will be blind."

"Isn't I still there?" Yinxiang said bluntly: "How come the Fourteenth Brother throws the Thirteenth Brother aside every time?" As he said, he salivated again: "When the expedition to Europe, the American navy has not set off yet. Where is the Fourteenth Brother eyeing again? This time, it's time for the Thirteenth Brother to show his face."
"Haha, it's not that you don't let Brother Thirteen go, but that you are a little too kind." Yinzhen said with a smile.
Too kind? Yinxiang was stunned when he heard this. Where is the Fourteenth in the Fourteenth in his mind? Should he exterminate the clan like he was against the natives of the South China Sea? But that guy Nian Gengyao was so cruel in the Fourteenth in his heart?
Yinzhen thought about it and smiled: "Brother Thirteenth, don't think too much. First, take Zheng to clean up the pirates in the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea. If you can, try to comfort them. Now it's time to use people.
Yinxiang became anxious when he heard this and said, "It's okay to clear out the pirates, but you have to give me a warship. When the navy sets out, where can there be warships? It depends on the broken ships of the Fujian Navy, so you can't chase them."
Yinzhen smiled and said, "I have made arrangements for this. The twelve auxiliary ships built in Shanghai will be able to be launched in a few days, and the artillery will be equipped for a few days. We will come back from the capital, so you can use them to clear out the pirates."
"But weren't these ships for the Expeditionary Force?" Yinxiang said with some confusion.
"Yes, it's for them." Yinzhen nodded and said, "But there is a time difference between this. The expedition to America is June, and the expedition to Europe is September. There is still half a year left, which is enough for you to struggle. Besides, when the South China Fleet sets off, another batch of new warships will be launched. Australian immigration is a big deal. How can I not leave some new warships to protect myself?"
Yinxiang was happy when he heard this and asked quickly: "Where are warships??"
"Aren't the soldiers on our fleet good?" Yinzhen raised his head slightly, and then he reminded him worriedly: "Be careful, these three thousand navys are the seeds I have left for the navy. I have lost too much, so don't blame me for being anxious."
"Don't worry, I'll just worry, my 14th brother." Yinxiang said with a smile, "I guarantee that I can't lose it." After saying that, he said curiously again: "I want Nian Gengyao to enter the navy?"
"Nian Gengyao is a proud man. He is not a person who is willing to be inferior to others. He is not suitable to enter the navy." Yinzhen pondered: "After the navy goes to war, I am preparing to build a new type of imperial guard."
Using Nian Gengyao to command the new type of imperial guards? Yinxiang thought about it briefly and couldn't help but admire him. Lao Shisi's idea was really wonderful. Nian Gengyao was the slave of the fourth brother, and was promoted by Kangxi. He had a little bit of a feast with Lao Shisi. Kangxi was absolutely relieved to use him to command the new type of imperial guards, and Nian Gengyao had absolutely nothing to say. This was a good job that was hard to find even with a lantern.
A personal guard reported outside: "Reported to the master, Fang Bao and Zheng Qinghai, who were looking for a meeting outside."
"Invite them in." Yinzhen immediately ordered that Fang Bao did not follow him to Nanyang, but was arranged by him to collect sea trade information in Shanghai.
After Fang Bao and Zheng Qinghai came in to see him, Yinzhen smiled and reached out to give up his seat. When the two of them sat down, he smiled and said, "This trip to Garopa has made a lot of gains. General Manager Zheng's purchase of grain in Shanghai can be suspended."
Zheng Qinghai was happy to hear that as he continued to buy a large amount of food, the grain prices in Jiangnan began to rise again. Now it was time for the yellow and yellow. He hurriedly leaned over and asked, "Have you received the food in Nanyang?"
Yinzhen nodded with a smile and said, "I caught a group of pirates on the sea, and then I realized that Siam was rich in food and had enough food, and the rice price was incredible."
Zheng Qinghai's eyes lit up. This was good news. He couldn't help but tentatively said, "Eight coins per stone?"
"Three coins and one stone." Yinzhen said with a smile.
Three cents and one stone? Zheng Qinghai and Fang Bao were stunned when they heard this. The price of food in Siam was so low? How could it be? Zheng Qinghai asked in disbelief: "Isn't the master heard about it?"
Yinzhen didn't care about his rudeness and smiled and said, "I paid 150,000 stones and condemned people to go to Siam to buy 300,000 stones, which is indeed three cents and one stone."
"Congratulations to the Fourteenth Master." Fang Bao smiled and said, "Siam is comparable to Jiangnan. With this granary, Australia and South Ocean can develop rapidly. These two places are all rich places. Once they develop, the Qing Dynasty will no longer have to worry about food."
Zheng Qinghai was also very excited and blurted out: "In this way, Australian immigrants can save a lot of money, and the savings are at least tens of millions of taels."
"I have asked people to build grain warehouses in Karopa as a need for transportation." Yinzhen nodded and said, "The countries in the South China Sea have a large land and sparse population, fertile land, convenient irrigation and suitable climate. They are indeed natural granaries. Once immigration is stopped, I intend to replace grain grains with grains from South China."
