Chapter 864 The Marines Assemble
This time, the collective farm model that Gao Huan allowed Sun Kewang to implement in Hedong is very important to Gao Huan.
Because for thousands of years, people have long formed an inherent concept, all hope to obtain ownership of the land and all want to annex more land.
In their opinion, Gao Huan gave them land but could not be bought or sold, which was equivalent to treating them as tenants who were the official land.
Now Gao Huan will give the land rewarded to the soldiers, run it in the form of a collective farm, and then distribute dividends to the soldiers, but the soldiers don’t understand at all.
Gao Huan had heard some complaints, saying that this was not a reward for land. He could not make a decision on this land and could not buy or sell it. It was his own land.
This made the army complain about Gao Huan. If Gao Huan wants to change the army's complaints about him, he must run the collective farm well.
Only by letting the sergeants discover that the collective farm not only distributes more dividends, but also saves more trouble and allows them to gain benefits can they eliminate their resentment and continue to support Gao Huan.
Therefore, operating a collective farm can only succeed, not fail, otherwise the army will not get any benefits, which will directly shake Gao Huan's prestige in the army.
The reason why Gao Huan ordered Sun Kewang's general and did not hand over this matter to others was because he was afraid that someone would deliberately mess up the matter.
Now the Qian Dynasty's honorary and bureaucratic groups are very strong, so they naturally hope to obtain land, master more means of production, and annex more land.
If they were asked to promote one person to Hedong governor and deliberately smash the collective farm, Gao Huan would certainly punish him, but that official made a contribution to the honorary and relatives and the bureaucratic group.
In this way, everyone will remember his goodness. After a few years of dormant, someone will pull him up again.
In this case, Gao Huan's punishment is nothing. Someone will definitely be willing to help the bureaucratic group mess up the matter in Hedong so as to fully implement the private ownership of land.
Gao Huan chose Sun Kewang because he was interested in the relationship between Sun Kewang's outsiders.
Now that he became the emperor, Gao Huan gradually realized that the civil and military officials in the court sometimes stood opposite him.
For Gao Huan, the world is his, the people are the people, and the bureaucratic group is his tool to govern the world.
Gao Huan needs these tools to govern the people, but he must always beware of these tools and harm and exploit his people for his own interests.
Outside Texas City.
In order to show that Gao Huan attaches great importance to the affairs of Hedong and to stand up for Sun Kewang, he told the civil and military officials who were about to go to Hedong to take office not to bully Sun Kewang, an outsider. Gao Huan sent Sun Kewang out of the city with ease.
"Your Majesty, please come back! Your Majesty does not have to worry about Hedong affairs, I will definitely live up to your expectations." Sun Kewang led his horse and said to Gao Huan beside him.
In history, Sun Kewang managed a barren land like Yunnan and Guizhou, which allowed the Yongli Dynasty to confront the Qing army for many years, allowed Li Ding to train troops and raise troops in state-owned food, grass and materials, and almost defeated the Qing army to rule the river, which showed that he had outstanding abilities.
If Sun Kewang had not been ambitious and had a bad military talent, he would have to fight with Li Ding in the country, one of them was the inner and the other was the outer, and perhaps history could be rewritten.
Gao Huan nodded slightly. He still recognized Sun Kewang's ability in internal affairs and felt that he had the ability to do things in Hedong well.
Because Sun Kewang has ambitions and ability.
"Okay! I'll leave it to you in Hedong!" Gao Huan stopped and stopped talking nonsense.
At that moment, Sun Kewang bowed and then turned over and went to the east of the river. Gao Huan returned to the city and soon headed towards Denglai.

On the sea, ten three-masted gunboats ride the wind and waves on the sea.
This was the Ganchao fleet returning from Luzon. They followed Zheng Sen to fight in Nanyang. They thought they could cultivate for a while after they came back, but they did not expect that as soon as the fleet returned to the Mawei Army Port in Fujian, they received a transfer order from the court to ask them to go north immediately.
At this time, on the deck of the Beiyang Fleet flagship, Huang Fei, Liu Hui, Zheng Lian and others stood together, and the sea breeze made their clothes sway.
"This time the imperial court is in a hurry to transfer us north, I wonder what's going on?" Zheng Lian couldn't help asking.
Among the three, Liu Hui was Gao Huan's direct descendant, so his news was naturally more informative. "I heard that it was the imperial court's stronghold on the Heiyi Island, which was surrounded by Japanese pirates. This time we were summoned north, maybe to rescue the besieged soldiers."
Zheng Lian said: "Xiyi Island is located in the north of Japan, and it is very far away."
Huang Fei couldn't help but sigh: "Then the Essay Island is far away from us. When we arrive, the trapped brothers are probably finished."
Zheng Lian shook his head, "I don't think it's necessary. The stronghold built by the imperial court on the Hokkien Island is said to be a bastion. How long did it take for us to attack the Spanish bastion this time? It took them half a year to surrender! We still have guns and cannons. With the equipment of Japanese pirates, as long as the food is sufficient, it is estimated that they will not be able to be defeated in one or two years."
Huang Fei and Liu Hui remembered the hard days of siege of Manila, and the bastion was really hard to attack.
At this time, Liu Hui couldn't help asking: "General Zheng, you know more about Japan than us. What is the situation in Japan and how powerful the army is?"
Zheng Lian is hard to say, after all, he has never been to Japan. If he asks him how the Japanese girl is, he will know her very well.
Zheng Lian said: "What's the point? This Japanese country still has some strength on land, but the navy is common. The Tokugawa family is closed to the country and prohibits the Japanese daimyo from going to sea. Except for the Shimazu family's navy in Kyushu, there is nothing else worth mentioning."
Liu Hui couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Then can the Japanese pirates fight with a fleet like ours drive over?"
Zheng Lian smiled and said, "If it's just a matter of water battle, the Japanese pirates' fleets will add up, and they are probably not our opponents."
When Liu Hui heard this, "Then we must give the Japanese pirates some color this time."
"We're in Weihai!" At this time, Huang Fei suddenly pointed to the distance.
After the establishment of the Beiyang Navy, it chose to establish a military port in Weihaiwei near Liugong Island, north of Wendeng County. It was the home port of the Beiyang Navy and also the destination of Huang Fei and his party.
The few people looked up and saw a large harbor in front of them, with many sea boats parked inside.
Ten three-masted gunships approached the military port, and ships immediately came forward to greet them and led them into the port to berth.
Gao Huan had to arrive at Weihaiwei one step earlier. He waited here for ten days before ten gunboats arrived at Weihaiwei.
At this time, Huang Fei and others got off the boat and saw Gao Huan standing at the dock waiting. Everyone was shocked. Unexpectedly, Gao Huan would come to greet them.
Several people hurried forward to salute and said excitedly: "I am here to pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Gao Huan quickly helped several people up and looked at them, "In the past six months, you have turned into black charcoal."
Liu Hui smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is all too hot in the southeast."
