Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 575 Top Gun
"Mr. Factory, our family has a few questions that I would like to ask Mr. Factory."

Under this situation, seeing that the others were silent, Cao Huachun stepped forward and said with a salute: "If we really do this, will the navy stationed in Bengang have to be separated as well?"

"No! The navy of Bengang cannot be divided!"

Wei Zhongxian said: "There are only so many eggs. If they are separated, wouldn't they be less able to deal with emergencies?"

"Then the above-mentioned land is no longer empty on the sea?"

Cao Huachun frowned and said: "In the event of a surprise attack by maritime forces, the people in the above-mentioned places will be unable to resist except passively."

After hearing this, the expressions of Li Yongzhen, Ji Yong, Ge Jiusi and others changed.

Is this because he wants them to be used as cannon fodder?
"So we need to build the city!"

Wei Zhongxian pointed at the map in front of him, "There are only so many naval forces in Dongfan right now. The purchase of officials mentioned in our family has not progressed to a certain stage. The navy in Bengang cannot be touched."

"If you really encounter this situation, if you are attacked by sea surprise, you should withdraw from the coastal area and huddle together to wait for the help of Bengang!"

"We can't defeat you at sea, so how can we defeat you on land? Are generals like Zu Dale useless? Not to mention that if we really want to be sent overseas, our family will have to send people to Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi to recruit brave men. Don't forget Yes, there are many people in these places who don’t have enough to eat!”

Can you still play like this?
Li Yongzhen, Ji Yong, and Ge Jiusi were all shocked.

Just now, Wei Zhongxian mentioned that they would build cities in the above-mentioned places. Li Yongzhen and others thought of recruiting brave men from Fujian and other places and transporting them to Dongfan in batches to participate in the construction, but they never thought of recruiting soldiers!
"Have you ever thought about how much food it would cost to recruit brave men to participate in the construction and march into the army?"

Cao Huachun frowned and said: "Not to mention that in Fujian, Mr. Factory, you have sent people to build several shipyards to build ships for the navy in Dongfan and Penghu. This has not included the gun factory to be built. So In terms of expenditure, the money allocated from internal funds alone cannot meet these needs. "

"Tianjin can set up customs to collect customs duties, but can't we set up customs in Dongfan and Penghu to collect customs duties?" Wei Zhongxian pointed at the map.

"You all should take a good look, Penghu and Dongfan are so special places. Whether you are going south or north, as long as you go to Haojing, Tianjin, or other places in Nanyang, will you have to pass through Penghu and Dongfan? Two sea areas?”

"Yes, the naval forces currently stationed in Penghu and Dongfan can only ensure the stability of the controlled area, but are not yet able to engage in naval battles. Even in the early days of Dongfan's selling of officials, the two naval forces were unable to fight, but the strength of the navy has increased. What? Do you want to sit back and ignore this treasure?"

tax?

They are familiar with this! !

When Li Yongzhen, Ji Yong, and Ge Jiusi heard this, their expressions changed. During the Wanli period, the guard eunuchs who were sent abroad collected mining taxes in various places, but now they have to collect customs taxes here in Dongfan. , although the taxes levied are different and the people who levy them are different, people will not be deceived with their free money!
"If that's the case, shouldn't this be done?"

"Indeed, even in the places we visited, before the city was built, we were able to dig wide ditches and build defenses. Even if someone dared to attack by surprise, it would not be without danger."

"That's true. When I was waiting in Fujian, I often heard complaints from local officials about where the mob was rioting. If that's the case, then we might as well recruit more refugees."

"However, there are still risks. At least if we do this, in the first few months, or even the first year, it may be difficult to significantly improve the combat effectiveness of the troops assigned to various places."

"You can send someone to the capital to report this to the emperor. Even if you can't send elite troops to the east, you can at least transport a batch of firearms and artillery, right? You can even ask the Shaofu's Armed Forces Cleaning Department to screen a batch of muskets. Gunsmiths, just build a gun factory in Dongfan itself..."

Seeing Li Yongzhen and Ji Yong getting more and more excited as they talked, Yu Zigao's heart stirred up. Are these eunuchs in charge of the inner court, or have they committed robberies?
They were opposed just now and even had doubts about Wei Zhongxian, but now everyone is starting to make plans? "If the factory owner really intends to do this, then there is something he can do as well."

When Yu Zigao was surprised, Cao Huachun said: "Xu Hongru and others who came with me can be sent to the maritime forces coming to Dongfan. They are responsible for monitoring them in name, but in fact they are secretly preaching. If necessary, we can break away from these maritime forces and go deep into the Southeast Asian lands."

"Yes, how could our family forget this matter?"

Wei Zhongxian slapped his forehead, looked at Cao Huachun with a smile and said: "This is a good suggestion. Eunuch Cao will handle this matter. Eunuch Cao will stay in Bengang and help our family with suggestions."

"Here!"

Cao Huachun raised his hand and saluted.

Don’t you object to this?

Yu Zigao's eyes widened and he looked at Cao Huachun in disbelief.

In fact, Wei Zhongxian had no intention of sending Cao Huachun out from the beginning. He could not have no one around him to help him. Although Wei Zhongxian somewhat disliked Cao Huachun's character, he was not in Ming Dynasty now, but in Dongfan. Cao Huachun's The ability is there.

And from the time Cao Huachun raised those questions, Wei Zhongxian knew that Cao Huachun had guessed what he was thinking, that is, what if the group of generals sent abroad became dominant in various places?
Therefore, preventing the navy from Bengang from being separated is not only to deal with sneak attacks at sea, but also to prevent Dongfan from going to Penghu and Fujian.

At least until the cities in various places are built, or even the Chidao connecting various places is not built, Wei Zhongxian will not separate the navy.

Wei Zhongxian knows the details of these Liao generals!

"Since everyone thinks this is feasible, let's perfect this plan."

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian calmed down, looked at Yu Zigao and the others and said: "We have been thinking about it all night. It is inevitable that there is something wrong with it. If you think there is something wrong, just say it. General Yu, are you If you are proficient in naval warfare, please tell me if you have any ideas. I am still a student in front of you. "

When talking about this, Wei Zhongxian looked at Yu Zigao with a smile.

This is Wei Zhongxian. In order to facilitate some things, he will not care about the so-called face. This is something that eunuchs and eunuchs who grew up in the inner court do not have.

Before Wei Zhongxian entered the palace, he was a scoundrel in Suning. What has he not experienced? What hasn't happened to him?
face?

Can it be eaten as a meal?
Zhu Youxiao valued Wei Zhongxian, so he handed over such important tasks to Wei Zhongxian, but Zhu Youxiao would not do such a thing to anyone else.

In this era, the forces that can gallop on the sea, no matter how big or small, cannot be summarized by the familiar formulas of the world. Selling their souls for profit is completely normal.

It is ridiculous that the light of God shines everywhere.

The sects bred on the continent of Europa were able to leave Europa and go to other places. Wasn't that time accompanied by killing and turmoil?

Since there is something they can do, there is no reason why China can't do it, not to mention that China's position is so prominent. China, which has the advantage, must take the dominant advantage in the great voyage! !
