"Commander Luo, the Commander-in-Chief has made a profound analysis of the current situation in several important speeches a while ago. The comrades of the Recovery Society agreed with this. One of them was that the stage of rebellion had already passed. If they were to start a rebellion again, they might be able to do it on a small scale in a place far away from the Emperor. However, they no longer had the chance to join the ranks of fighting for the world. Right now, we have to adjust our mentality as well. We are not rebels, we are the government. Commander-in-chief said that it was called … oh … the ruling party! " Lin Mengchu didn't forget to ask Luo Dagang these questions as they walked side by side.
Luo Dagang had also read a few documents of Vézé's important speeches and had organized a study group in Jingzhou according to the rules. However, the cadres in Jingzhou were basically all from the military, and their sensitivity and understanding of politics were really lacking. So no matter how he read, he didn't make any progress. As a hero in the wilderness, Luo Dagang was naturally an expert when it came to dealing with Jianghu friends or leading troops to war. For example, in Jingzhou, Luo Dagang had suppressed and pacified the local bandits for more than a year. Even the Li Tribe in the mountains gradually eased their attitude toward the Liberation Army. But to make Luo Dagang truly feel that he was a government official really stumped this old hero.
Luo Dagang was both envious and uneasy that Lin Mengchu could understand Vézé's intentions so well at such a young age.
When he arrived at Vézé's office, he saw Vézé lecturing several young cadres. Vézé gestured to Luo Dagang and Luo Dagang to take a seat first. Then, he turned to the young cadres in front of him and said, "That's not right. I need 100,000 yuan to build a production line, and 1 yuan to produce a product. What is the cost of this product? "
The young cadres looked at each other. After a while, someone answered unconfidently, "One yuan per product?"
"No." Vézé denied this answer.
The young cadres did not dare to speak again. After Luo Dagang heard this question, he was a little surprised. If the cost of producing one product was one yuan, then wouldn't the cost of producing one product still be one yuan?
While Luo Dagang was deep in thought, another young cadre replied, "Commander in Chief, I think it's 1001 taels!"
"Yes! Comrade Wang Mingshan is right. 100,001 taels! " Vézé nodded in agreement. "If we produce two products, the cost of each product will be 50,001 taels. If we were to produce one hundred thousand pieces, the cost of each piece would be two taels! "
Luo Dagang was confused by such a "magical" calculation method, and some of the young people did not understand it either. The first young cadre who gave the wrong answer asked, "Because before you set up the production line, you have to understand that your purpose is to produce products and sell them, not to wait for people to come and buy them! Indeed, we can't force people to buy and sell, but we can't just sit there and wait for people to beg us to buy! This is a problem of understanding the situation, and also a problem of attitude … "
Listening to Vézé's words, Luo Dagang finally understood that Vézé was discussing the construction of the textile factory, which seemed to involve the order of investment. However, Luo Dagang could not understand the specific problems in the middle and how Vézé arranged it.
After Vézé finished talking, it was Luo Dagang's turn to report. After Jingzhou Island cut off the sea route, the Qing Army had nowhere to run and nowhere to escape. However, the Qing Army did not have many soldiers in Jingzhou, and all the prefectures and counties chose to surrender when the Liberation Army arrived. As for Jingzhou, the local population was sparse and the land was barren. Compared to the Guangdong and Guangxi provinces, Jingzhou was not a local tyrant. In general, after eliminating the bandits, the situation in Jingzhou was basically stable.
After listening to Luo Dagang's narration, Vézé smiled and said, "Commander Luo, well done! Have you heard about the trade with Vietnam through the sea route? "
"Comrade Lin Mengchu has already introduced it." Luo Dagang replied.
Vézé said, "In the next few years, the focus of Jingzhou's work is to establish a stable foundation for the local government, and turn Jingzhou into our steel base and the base for the sea trade with Vietnam. Also, I plan to make some regional changes. After we completely control Guangxi, we will give some of the coastal areas of Guangdong to Guangxi. Guangxi can't be without a sea outlet! Comrade Luo Dagang, you have a lot of influence in Guangxi, so you can't just stay in Jingzhou. You also need to go to Guangxi to recruit people to work in Jingzhou. We all know that Guangxi doesn't lack people, but it lacks land. I don't think anyone will object to moving to Jingzhou. The key is to make everyone feel at ease! You can make everyone feel at ease! "
Luo Dagang was originally afraid that Vézé would say something he couldn't understand, but now that he saw that Vézé was talking about something that Luo Dagang could understand, he was completely at ease. With a relaxed mood, Luo Dagang also dared to make some requests. He smiled and said, "Commander, when I was in Jingzhou, I already did trade with Vietnam according to your request. It's just that the ships are too small, and it's not worth it to transport rice from Vietnam to Jingzhou. When can these ships reach our Jingzhou? "
At the mention of ships, Vézé's face revealed a somewhat unhappy expression, "This matter is very troublesome. There are many problems with building large ships. The ships you took on the way back are only of this grade. You just have to put up with it for now. In a few years, we will be able to build a ship of 3,000 tons. "
"3,000 tons?" Luo Dagang still had no concept of this unit.
Vézé explained, "3,000 tons is about 3,000,000 catties, or 50,000 dans. You can transport 50,000 dans of grain or 50,000 dans of coal with a single ship. With that, we will be much more relaxed. "
"Such a big ship?" Luo Dagang was shocked, "Does Vietnam have that much grain to sell? Furthermore, do we have that much silver? "
Vézé's face revealed a malicious smile, "We definitely don't have that much silver! However, we do have something that the Vietnamese urgently need, and it's something very valuable! "
"What is that?" Luo Dagang hurriedly asked.
"Firearms! Oh, it's a firearm! "Vézé replied.
"Firearms?" Luo Dagang was completely shocked.
Vézé gave Luo Dagang a simple introduction of the situation in Annam. At this time, the Nguyen Dynasty was in power in Vietnam. This Vietnamese court had not been established for a long time. The Nguyen Dynasty's predecessor was the Nguyen Quảng Nam Kingdom during the Trịnh – Nguyen War. It ruled Quảng Nam from 1558 to 1777, and in 1802, it destroyed the Tay Son Dynasty and officially unified Vietnam.
The Ruan Dynasty was divided into three parts, namely Jiaozhina (Southern Qi), Dongjing (Northern Qi), and Annam (Zhongqi). The Ruan Dynasty was divided into 23 towns and four battalions across the country. In Rising Dragon, there was Beicheng, which governed 11 towns in the north. In the south, with Jiading as the center, it governed five towns in the south. In the capital of Hue, there were four battalions.
After the British won the First Great Smoky War against China, France also started to make a move against Vietnam. In 1847 (Shao Zhi Year 7), in the first month of the lunar calendar, France sent officials to Vietnam to demand the removal of the ban on religion. When their ships arrived at Tuo Phnom Penh, thinking that the Vietnamese were attacking, they fired their cannons and sank 5 Vietnamese warships.
During the reign of Si De, France gradually invaded Vietnam. In 1856 (Si De 9), they attacked Tuo Phnom Penh and Jia Ding. The French army's equipment, training and tactics were far superior to the Vietnamese. The French army's equipment, training and tactics were far superior to the Vietnamese, and even though the French army won every battle, they were met with strong resistance from the Vietnamese. Therefore, they gradually occupied some territory in the south of Vietnam, but did not make any decisive progress.
This time, the 2,000 French soldiers that came with the British to attack Vézé were mostly transferred from the Nguyen Dynasty. The Liberation Army dealt a heavy blow to the arrogant French army at Kowloon, and it could be said that they supported the Vietnamese people's resistance against the French invaders.
After briefly explaining the current situation in Vietnam, Vézé concluded: "In order to save the Tay Son Dynasty, the Manchu Qing once fought an official war with Vietnam, and in the end, they were defeated! The Tay Son Dynasty was destroyed, and the Manchu Qing's spineless scum pinched their noses and accepted it. Therefore, the Vietnamese people are more worried about China. France has more backbone than the Manchu Qing, and they will not give up. Therefore, we need to express our goodwill to the Vietnamese side. We need to let the Vietnamese know that France is also our enemy. "
"Then how do we express our goodwill? Directly selling firearms? "Luo Dagang asked.
"Commander Luo, can you imagine how the Taiping Rebellion bought weapons from the foreign devils?" Vézé laughed.
Luo Dagang did not know much about trade, and when it came to trade between countries, his thoughts were even more unable to keep up. Seeing Luo Dagang's frowning expression, Vézé could not help but reveal the answer. "Let's first exchange pointers with the Vietnamese, and let them know that our army is not inferior to the French army, and our firearms are not inferior to the French. We need to let the Vietnamese know that we have what they need in our hands, only then will we have the foundation to do business! "
Even though Vézé had explained it to such an extent, Luo Dagang still did not fully understand. He asked: "Are we going to invite the Vietnamese over to take a look?"
Vézé could only reveal his cards completely. "Commander Luo, you can bring your troops to the Vietnamese border, find a reason to kill your way over, and beat up the Vietnamese army. Won't they understand everything then?"
"Huh?!" After hearing this, not only did Luo Dagang not fully understand, but he became even more confused. "If we fight our way over, won't the Vietnamese bear a grudge against us?"
Facing such an honest Luo Dagang, Vézé was truly speechless. He said to his secretary: "Call Comrade Shen Xin in!"
Hearing Shen Xin's name, Luo Dagang immediately thought of this youth who had fought alongside him in Wuzhou. Moments later, Shen Xin, dressed in a military uniform, strode into Vézé's office. He first saluted to Vézé. "Greetings, Military Governor Wei!"
After waiting for Vézé to return the salute, Shen Xin turned to Luo Dagang and saluted again. "Greetings, Commander Luo!"
Luo Dagang stood up to return the salute. After not seeing him for more than a year, Shen Xin's temperament seemed to have matured quite a bit. The impatience of a young man that he used to have was almost gone, and he seemed to have become more mature.
Vézé said: "Commander Luo, the personnel department has arranged for Comrade Lin Mengchu and Shen Xin to go to Jingzhou. Comrade Lin Mengchu is the prefectural Party Secretary of Jingzhou, and Comrade Shen Xin is the political commissar of the army. I am very confident in your abilities. You must cooperate well and handle the matters in Jingzhou well! Handle the maritime trade with Vietnam well! Do your best! "
Seeing that Vézé had made the arrangements, and his words seemed to have the intention to end the conversation, Luo Dagang hurriedly said: "Commander, I have another request. Can I … Comrade Su Sanniang … go to Jingzhou and take charge of the women's affairs? "
Vézé found the change in Luo Dagang's form of address interesting, and he couldn't help but laugh. "Haha, I think it's possible. Comrade Luo Dagang, go and report this to the organization. See how the organization responds. "
After obtaining Vézé's approval, Luo Dagang said: "Commander, if there's nothing else, I'll go do my work!"
"Do it well! I have confidence in you! "Vézé said at the end.
