Chapter 142 Heading to Phi Island
"My lord, this Guan Ning army is a first-class strong soldier in the world, and there should be a reason for spending more." Cao Huachun said calmly.

Cao Huachun's words seemed to be good for Guan Ning's army, but they actually added fuel to the fire.

Who is Chongzhen?This is a person who can't wait to break a copper plate in half.On weekdays, the dragon robe was torn and he was reluctant to replace it with a new one. How could he tolerate Yuan Chonghuan's big mouth.

Sure enough, when Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he became angry instantly.

"Big Companion, you don't need to say these words. No matter how much money this Guan Ning Army spends, it won't be so expensive. Hmph, this Yuan Chonghuan is carrying his troops with self-respect." Chongzhen said fiercely.

"Not long ago, soldiers in Ganzhou, Gansu caused a mutiny because they owed their military pay. Although it subsided, all the soldiers in Ganzhou were abolished.

The soldiers in Ganzhou have to be recruited again, and all of these will cost money.The south was flooded again, which also needed money.Now the entire Ming Dynasty needs money, where can I get them money? "Emperor Chongzhen slapped the table with a slap.

……

"What? My lord, you said you were going to Phi Island? Are you right?" Liu Wenzhong looked at Zhao Wen in shock and asked in surprise.

Sitting in the lobby of the Garrison Mansion, Zhao Wen squeezed his chin and said in a deep voice, "I have to go to Phi Island. This matter is of great importance. I'm really worried if I don't go."

"Brother Zhao, why are you going to Phi Island? It's near the hinterland of Jiannu. What if there is any danger?" Li Xiaoying looked at Zhao Wen worriedly.

Hai Lanzhu sat on the side, looking at Zhao Wen with a smile, "This Pi Island is not in the boundary of Daming, but there is a sea in the middle. Are you sure you want to go? Are you not afraid that you will die on the boat?"

"You woman, what are you talking about?" Zhao Xiaoni pointed at Hai Lanzhu angrily, and cursed with a puffy face.

Zhao Wen looked at the crowd and thought, "Could it be possible that I still want to tell you that Phi Dao Mao Wenlong will be killed by Yuan Chonghuan soon?"

Zhao Wen let out a long breath and said: "You don't understand, now our Longmen Fort business has just started, and we need manpower everywhere.

The city of Horqin Department will be built, the cement factory in Xuanfu Town will also be built, and various workshops will be built in Longmen Fort.But these all need manpower. "

"But aren't there refugees from Shaanxi? Are these not enough?" Li Xiaoying asked suspiciously.

"That's fine. Although there are many refugees in Shaanxi, most of them are trapped by thieves, and the number of people who can escape is really limited. In addition, Shaanxi is far away from here, and there are still too few people who can make it here alive. .

Since Mao Wenlong arrived in Phi Island, countless people from Liaodong have flocked to Phi Island.There are many people on Phi Island today.These people are exactly what we need. "

In fact, since the establishment of Phi Island, people from Liaodong have been fleeing to Phi Island.

When the number of people on Phi Island was the largest, it even reached more than [-] people.

A large part of the reason why Yuan Chonghuan was good at killing Mao Wenlong was because Mao Wenlong earned the military salary that belonged to the Guanning Army.

But why did Mao Wenlong want to grab food from Guan Ningjun's mouth?That's because Mao Wenlong not only needs to feed the soldiers under his command, but also feeds the people on the island.

If it wasn't for this reason, how could Mao Wenlong snatch food from Guan Ningjun's mouth?
The rescue of Mao Wenlong saved tens of thousands of people in Phi Island.With these people, Zhao Wen's Longmen Fort will glow with infinite vitality.

The purpose of Zhao Wen's trip to Phi Island is not only to save Mao Wenlong, but more importantly, to find an outlet to the sea, and the gathering of refugees is just incidental.

How could Zhao Wen, who is a descendant, not know the benefits brought by the ocean?
This is an inexhaustible treasure house.Moreover, if the Strait of Malacca is controlled, will there still be a shortage of silver in the future?Just collecting tolls, there are countless silver in a year.

In addition, Southeast Asia is rich in rice, which is not only good in quality, but also cheap. Today's Longmenbao is in need of rice most.

Only with rice can the refugees be gathered on a large scale, and those refugees can be tightly tied to the chariot of Longmen Fort.

At that time, the cement from the cement factory will be pulled out and sold to those white-skinned pigs in foreign countries, and the money obtained will be exchanged for rice in Southeast Asia.

No matter what, this is a lucrative thing.

"Okay, stop arguing. I've decided to go to Phi Island. Don't try to persuade me. A few days later, I will take Daniel and a dozen guards to Phi Island. During my absence , Mr. Liu Wenzhong is in charge of all matters in the castle." Zhao Wen said with a sullen face and loudly.

Seeing that Zhao Wen couldn't be persuaded no matter how hard they tried, they had no choice but to give up and let him decide.

A few days later, Zhao Wen dressed in casual clothes, rode a war horse, and led a dozen guards towards the east.

Zhao Wen and others will dismount at Denglai and take a boat to Phi Island.

Phi Island is in the Korean Bay on the east and west sides of the Yalu River Estuary, also known as Dongjiang.Phi Island is 15 miles from east to west and 10 miles from north to south. There is basically no vegetation on the island, so it is not too big.

Phi Island is located between Liaodong, North Korea, and Houjin. The north coast is 80 miles away from Houjinjie. The Northeast Sea is North Korea. It is closely related to the three parties.

At that time, in the Uiju, Anju, and Tieshan areas of North Korea not far from Phi Island, Han people accounted for seven tenths, and Koreans only three tenths.After Phi Island was used as a base by Mao Wenlong, Han people were recruited, and the momentum gradually became stronger.

After Mao Wenlong was promoted to the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, after winning several battles, his momentum also became arrogant.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to tease Guan Ningjun's beard.

The reason why Zhao Wen chose Pidao as the outlet to the sea was not just a simple outlet.

Phi Island is close to North Korea. After controlling Phi Island, when the army becomes stronger in the future, it can send troops to attack North Korea.

After defeating North Korea, you can attack Japan eastward.After conquering Japan, you can use it as a springboard to conquer the Americas.

For America, Zhao Wen is salivating.America is one of the richest places in the world, and there are countless gold and silver mines throughout the Americas.

Rather than letting America be occupied by those white-skinned pigs, it would be better to let it belong to Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, there are many plains in the Americas, which are suitable for growing food.If the entire Americas are developed, it is estimated that at least one billion people can be fed.

Today's America is still a barren land, and the benefits of occupying it first at this time are endless.

Zhao Wen came with weapons hundreds of years ahead of this era, not just to attack Jiannu.If he didn't use these weapons to occupy those rich places, Zhao Wen would feel at a loss.

After a long journey, Zhao Wen and others finally arrived in Denglai.

"My lord, Denglai is ahead." Zhao Daniu pointed to the city wall of Denglai and said to Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen squinted his eyes at the city wall of Denglai, and said to the guards behind him: "Everyone dismount, this Denglai is not our territory, so be careful in everything."

Zhao Wen and others led the horses slowly through the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the city lazily leaned against the city gate, watching Zhao Wen and others pass through the city gate without moving.

In Daming, as long as you go to another place, you must have a guide.

If there is no guide, it will be difficult to move forward.

But Zhao Wen and a dozen others were not only tall, but also led their horses.

When Zhao Wen and others passed by the city guards, the faint evil spirit revealed on their bodies made those guards dare not step forward to investigate.

It's a joke, this group of people seem to be the masters of eating everywhere, who dares to go?Don't die?
After Zhao Wen and others entered Denglai, they ran directly to the restaurant.

During the past few days on the road, everyone ate fried noodles and drank cold water. Now that they finally arrived in Denglai, they had to have a good meal.

Zhao Wen and others stopped at a restaurant not far from the city gate.

"Gentlemen, please come inside. We will feed these horses well for you." A receptionist greeted you with a flattering face.

Zhao Wen casually handed over the reins of the horse to the boy, and headed inside.

Zhao Daniu looked at the boy, and said viciously: "If our horse loses a hair, I will smash your shop."

Zhao Daniu snorted coldly, followed behind Zhao Wen and went inside.

"Shopkeeper, serve me all your special dishes, and I don't want money." After everyone sat down, Zhao Daniu roared in a low voice.

"Come on, gentlemen, wait a moment." A young man with a teapot on his shoulders and a white towel ran over hastily.

Zhao Wen picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it in small sips.

It was meal time now, and there were a lot of people eating in the hall, and the noise was extremely loud.

"Hey, have you heard that Mr. Sun Yuanhua, governor of Denglai, took the cannon he made a few months ago to the school yard outside the city yesterday and fired a few shots?"

On a table not far from Zhao Wen, a middle-aged man in an official uniform spoke slowly to the person next to him.

"Let me just say, why there was thunder suddenly in the sky yesterday, it turned out to be the cannon made by the governor."

"Sun Yuanhua?" Zhao Wen whispered a few words while listening to their discussion.Then the introduction about Sun Yuanhua he had seen on the Internet came to his mind.

Sun Yuanhua, courtesy name Chuyang, nicknamed Huodong, was born in Gaoqiao Town, Chuansha County, Shanghai, and was an expert in Western artillery.

In Tianqijian, he learned Western firearms law from Xu Guangqi. Sun Chengzong recommended him as the Secretary of the Ministry of War. He built a platform on the side to make cannons. , Five years later, Kong Youde, the rebel general, was trapped in Denglai, and was released after being captured.Later, he was framed by the chief assistant Wen Tiren and others, and was killed unjustly.Author of "Jingwu Chief Editor" and so on.

"Shouldn't he be the governor of Denglai in the third year of Chongzhen? This is only one year of Chongzhen, how did he become the governor of Denglai? Could it be that the butterfly's wings flapped faster because of my time travel?" Zhao Wen looked puzzled. thought.

However, this Sun Yuanhua is really capable.

Not only is he proficient in firearms, but he can also fight.Wouldn't it be even more powerful if such a person could be taken under the account?
Thinking of this, Zhao Wen's eyes flashed brightly.
