Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 235 Returning to Southern Liaoning
In Dalian Port, the Victory and the Daqi sailed in with a formation and captured pirate ships.

Chen Ting, the interior officer, and the officials waited anxiously at the port for a long time, and they were relieved only when the Victory appeared.

"My lord, you are finally back. I heard that you encountered a storm on the way and fought fiercely with vicious pirates. We are worried." When Chen Ting saw Chu Yun, he said sadly, "We will return to Liao The army is booming now, if something happens to you, what shall we do?"

"Didn't I come back safe and sound? This trip to the south is a bit rewarding, and I have learned about our enemies in the ocean. Moreover, our navy has never had actual combat experience. After this tempering, the combat effectiveness can also be improved." Chu Yun said.

"In the future, such a dangerous matter can be left to the people of the Ministry of the Navy. The military leader can sit in the rear, plan a strategy, and fight a decisive battle thousands of miles away." Chen Ting and other civil officials still have lingering fears.

"I see." Chu Yun agreed. He became the enemy's target on the front line and easily became a burden to his teammates. "Did anything important happen after I left Liaonan these days?"

"Thanks to the military leader Hong Fu, the operations in southern and eastern Liaoning are orderly, the fiscal revenue has repeatedly hit new highs, and the people are stable. The emotions of ordinary Jurchens in Jianzhou Guard have also been appeased. After executing some nobles, Jianzhou Guard also began to build peace To attract investment, some materials produced in Jianzhou flow into southern Liaoning and eastern Liaoning, and correspondingly industrial products from southern Liaoning and eastern Liaoning flow into Jianzhou, so everyone will get something.” Chen Ting said, “It’s not peaceful in the west. Watching."

"Yes, the military leader doesn't know that there are two forces in the west that have threatened us recently. One of them is from the defenders of the Ningyuan defense line. After the fall of Houjin, they moved forward for more than a hundred miles to build a castle. Trying to infiltrate our Liaodong. Another force is Lin Danhan of the Golden Family who was expelled by Huang Taiji. He united with the tribes of Mobei Mongolia and wanted to reunify the Mongolia tribes of Monnan. Lin Danhan's threat, if you don't return to the Jin family's command, you will attack with troops." Zhao Youguang from the military staff department said.

"Yuan Chonghuan and Lin Danhan are both worry-free guys. They think about making troubles all day long. I still want to develop steadily for a few years. By the way, what happened to the Xihai Jurchen tribe?" Chu Yun asked again.

"The Jurchens of the West Sea were suppressed by the Fifth Infantry Brigade and the Sixth Infantry Brigade, and surrendered one after another. Currently, the Fifth Infantry Brigade and the Sixth Infantry Brigade are stationed on the territory of the Jurchen tribe of the West Sea to prevent them from rebelling. At the same time, they are waiting for the army leader to come back and make plans to incorporate the Jurchen of the West Sea plan." Zhao Youguang said.

"It's enough to recruit them according to the plan of Jianzhouwei. As long as we build a factory there and let them see the white silver, they will naturally give up their resistance." Chu Yun did not expect the Fifth Infantry Brigade and the Sixth Infantry Brigade With such speed and speed, he had already captured the main stronghold of the Jurchen of the West Sea when he went out to sea.

The four tribes of Xihai Jurchen are a powerful military alliance. Unfortunately, they were conquered by Jianzhou Jurchen a long time ago. Now they have just escaped from Houjin. Facing Chu Yun’s defeat of Houjin’s modern army, they say they have the ability to resist. praised them.

"Get off the ship. We are now in Dalian Port in southern Liaoning, four thousand miles away from Yizhou. Don't try to resist, you won't be able to escape." A group of naval soldiers escorted the pirates who had been taken captive to southern Liaoning to disembark.

Most of these selected pirates are young people in their early 20s who followed Zheng Zhilong and others at sea, and they looked anxiously at the place where they were "imprisoned".

They thought it was a desolate place outside the customs, but when they disembarked and witnessed the prosperity of Dalian Port, they couldn't help being surprised.There are dozens of merchant ships and fishing boats moored in Dalian Port. There are row upon row of houses, bustling crowds on the streets, and black smoke from chimneys in the distance, creating a peaceful and peaceful scene.

"This is outside the pass...? It's more prosperous than Quanzhou before our famine!" A pirate from Quanzhou exclaimed.

"Oh my god, who the hell are you..." The pirates greedily looked around at the scenery, unable to believe it.

"Hmph, these are things you can't envy. According to the order, you have to work in Anshan Town for three years before you can enjoy the status of ordinary people. During this period, we will provide you with food and accommodation." The navy soldier proudly Said.

Chu Yun arrived at Dalian Port and returned to Jinzhou City to personally inspect the government affairs, military affairs, and commerce these days.Many people came to visit Chu Yun. As soon as they heard that Chu Yun had conquered Eighteen Zhi and defeated Zheng Zhihu among them, the businessmen who had traveled to and from the North Sea, East China Sea, and South China Sea all the year round couldn’t sit still. They jointly came to visit Chu Yun. cloud.

"Chen Ting, you said these businessmen came to see me, what are they asking for?"

"The subordinates are dull. Merchants seek profit, and they must come here for profit. They have sailed on the sea all year round and suffered from pirates. Naturally, they hope that someone can calm them down, ensure their safety at sea, and reduce the loss of sailing. " Chen Ting said.

"You've touched on the core point, but it's not complete. They are merchants who hope to make the most profit and minimize the loss. The demise of the pirates is not the most concerned thing for them. They are thinking, who can Control the route, and charge them the least protection fee, and they will support whoever."

"Why do they dislike the pirates in the East China Sea and the South China Sea? First, Zheng Zhilong and the others charged too much. Each big ship charged 3000 taels of silver, which hurt the merchants' wallets. Think about it, they took the risk of violating the sea ban. Is it just for profiteering? Secondly, the pirates are not a force. They have many hilltops. When they arrived in Yizhou, they were expropriated by Zheng Zhilong. The pirates expropriate a sum of money and exploit them layer by layer. It is more than 3000 taels for a ship? Third, it is similar to the second point. Because there is no unified jurisdiction, some pirates will kill people and rob goods, throw their bodies on the sea, and then set the blame For the rest of the pirates. On the vast sea, who knows which pirate did it. It’s okay for the merchants to lose their belongings, but if they lose their lives... So, they hope that someone can protect the entire sea route.” Chu Yun Said.

"My lord's opinion is unique. According to my lord's intention, is my lord going to meet them?" Chen Ting said.

"I want to see them, and they need to fund the establishment of a new fleet."

"Then the subordinates will go down and make arrangements."

"Wait." Chu Yun looked through the bookkeeping of the past few days, and found that several Donghai Jurchen who returned to Sakhalin Island brought a group of people from Sakhalin Island to Liaodong.
