Chapter 111 Zhang Xiaohu's Land-Sea Controversy

() It seems that if you don't ask for votes, there is nothing![-] words are here, continue to ask for clicks to support, evaluate, recommend and collect, as well as likes and rewards.

Zhang Xiao went down the donkey and sent several law enforcement teams, each with 20 people.Patrolling the town every half an hour, seeing those guys who wantonly make trouble, throwing yellow and white things everywhere, they are not polite, they just mess around with sticks, and then they are pulled to the pier, the hardest and most tiring job The work in the water is only for food, and no wages are paid.

As a result, the street is much quieter and the progress of the project is much faster.However, there are also some guys who don’t know whether they can’t turn their minds or are smart. When they see that anyone who disobeys the law enforcement team that is enforcing the order will be caught working on the dock and eat three meals a day, they dare not After provoking others, some natives consciously pissed and shitted in front of the law enforcement team.It made the sons of the law enforcement team dumbfounded.

Such a scene, in the eyes of people like Zhang Xiaoqi and Dagou Ergou who are used to living in Hejing, is naturally noisy and chaotic.

"Do you think it's messy here? That's right! I also think it's messy here!" Zhang Xiao looked at the crowded crowd in the market.Oh, for the specific situation, please refer to the ticket hall of the Spring Festival and the employment fair for college students.

"Forget it! Then let's disturb others, his place is very clean!"

The vehicle crossed Jinji Ridge, passed through a Hakka village, and not far to the north, another town appeared in front of Zhang Xiao and the others.Ding Zhuang, who was guarding at the entrance of the town, saw a group of horses and horses approaching from afar, and he cleared the road early to let the horses and horses enter the town.

The convoy passed straight through the town, and the big dog looked out through the window, and the words "Yanglan Town" could be vaguely seen on the stone wall of the town.

"Sixth Uncle, why are we not here yet? Just have a meal, we have passed the legendary end of the world just now!"

"It's not far ahead, we're here!" Zhang Xiao answered Ergou's question concisely.

"This is a breeding ground that Zheng Quanfang and his gang have set up to cultivate seeds everywhere in Hejing. For the sake of safety, I was ordered to send a sentry here, which is the guard and the labor force. According to the words of the adults, this is called Grab a hoe, grab a gun! This place is clean, and you can see very good scenery, and most importantly, there are many delicious things!"

Zhang Xiao narrowly blinked at his two nephews, and then carried them off the car.

Zhang Xiao and a group of brothers and nephews originally came to the breeding ground because they thought there was chaos in the market, but they didn't expect that there would be chaos at the gate of the breeding ground!

Stir-fried clams with eggs, grilled pork ribs with lychees, and large pieces of pork mixed with sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and corn, all filled a pot.There are also seven or eight dishes, either from the sea or from the mountains, oh, and a plate of roasted boat maggots.More than a dozen dishes make a long table of grown huanghuali look a bit cramped.

He picked up a piece of spare ribs and put it in Ergou's bowl, "Eat!" Zhang Xiao looked at his little nephew very lovingly.

The medical officer Zhong Dashu who was sitting by the side, his face sank like water, "Master Commander! I think your handling method just now is very inappropriate!"

At the gate of the breeding farm, Zhang Xiao summoned Chief Jia, who was on duty at the gate, to ask, "What are these natives arguing about here? I can't understand it, it's like a chicken talking to a duck!"

That Chief Jia was one of the pirates who surrendered to Li Shouhan with Zhang Xiao back then, and he was also one of his most capable people. They both said, "God knows! It's already afternoon, and they are making noise here! We don't understand what they say, They don't listen to what we say!"

"Rang Rang, let me try." The silent medical officer Zhong Dashu flashed out from behind Zhang Xiao.

"Hi! Doctor Zhong, it will be easy if you're here!" Najiachang said with joy.

As a medical officer, when Zhang Xiao and others first arrived in Qiongzhou, in the name of practicing medicine and delivering medicine, Zhong Dashu traveled all over the nearby villages and made good friends.Anyone in this world may be hostile, but only doctors and teachers will not be hostile and misunderstood.Originally, Shou Han wanted to send his teachers to Yazhou, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. Firstly, the local conditions did not allow it, and secondly, his own teachers were not enough.

There are dozens of villages with a radius of more than [-] li, Zhong Dashu has people healed in almost every village, and he also knows a thing or two about the local dialects.

When a native saw Zhong Dashu, he was also very excited, screaming all over his mouth, and pointing to the guard tower of the breeding farm while screaming, as if he was thinking about something.

Doctor Zhong also communicated with him with a smile on his face. Both sides communicated with words and actions that the other party could understand, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly eased.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Xiaoqi carefully looked at the breeding ground.

Looking inside through the sentry tower and the wall made of bamboo and wood, the breeding ground is neatly divided into more than a dozen fields, where corn, rice, pumpkins, peppers, and tomatoes are planted. , corngrass and many other crops, several sparkling ponds not only provide water for these crops, but also raise some fish and shrimp in it.

In the direction of the back mountain, Zhang Xiaoqi vaguely saw a group of figures cleaning up the felled forest, cleaning up the remaining shrubs and relatively small trees, and preparing to plant other trees.

"I think it's my lord's nachos, cardamom, pepper, etc., as well as the teardrop tree and the cinchona tree, all of which are the seeds brought by the Spaniards in Gonzalez."

After looking at it for a while, Zhong Dashu also understood the situation in sevens and eighties.

"My lord, it's like this. A boar in their village ran away, and a child saw that it had entered our place. They came to ask for it. The guard brothers who didn't want to block the door would not let them in, so they started arguing!"

"The pig that harmed our field belongs to them?!" Before Zhang Xiao could speak, a group of people in the breeding farm became enraged!

"Throw away that horse! That bastard ran into our field and ate sweet potatoes and pumpkins. He even harmed the corn field. My part of the land could have harvested hundreds of catties. Half of it is good!"

"That's right, the four hoofs kicked and planed indiscriminately, and the one long mouth arched indiscriminately, which also destroyed many of our seedlings!"

"When I caught it, it kicked and injured one of us!"

People vented their anger, frothing and pointing.

When the natives saw this, they roared loudly. Although they couldn't understand anything, they could figure out the general meaning from their expressions and movements.

Zhang Xiao listened for a long time, then ordered the chief armor to bring out the pig that caused the trouble.

The "perpetrator" was locked by an iron chain and pulled out from the breeding ground. When the natives saw it, they cheered and wanted to move forward.

"Cang Langlang!" Zhang Xiao pulled out the saber from his waist, and shouted, "Stop!"

Seeing that the chief is like this, the soldiers on duty in front of the gate also hold their swords and guns, ready to fight.

"Doctor Zhong, tell them exactly what I said!"

Walking in front of the pig, Zhang Xiao sized it up with his eyes. The pig was very fat and strong. Presumably, it was regarded as a treasure in the village.

"This animal will die if it breaks into the restricted area and destroys the seedlings and crops! I will only hold it accountable for today's matter, not you. If there is a next time, this knife will not be cut here! "

During the conversation, Zhang Xiao raised his knife and dropped it, "Pfft!"

A pig's head as big as a bucket, together with the iron chain around the pig's neck, were all cut off!

After hearing Zhong Dashu's general translation, and seeing Zhang Xiao's power, all the natives were immediately frightened.Zhang Xiao and others came to Yazhou, not as pure as a guardian angel, but anyone who offends them.More than a dozen native villages have been wiped out. These stories are spread everywhere. Now that you have seen the power of a knife, who would dare to stay here? With a cry, dozens of natives rushed to the place. .

"Good knives and knives!"

The eyes of the big dog and the second dog on the side were shining, and they clapped and applauded.

Zhang Xiao's knives are a batch of long knives specially made of iron steel, that is, high manganese steel, for officers above battalion officers. They are extremely sharp and tough, and can be the best steel in this era.That's why they were able to cut off the iron chain and the pig's head with one blow. From this point of view, the group of natives were also knowledgeable.

"In the future, if there is such a thing, no matter it is a human or an animal, it will be killed with one knife!" Zhang Xiao rubbed the pig's body, wiped the blood on the knife hastily, and ordered the soldiers in front of him.

"Then what about this pig?" Jia Chang's eyes lit up, thinking that the knife just now made his admiration for Zhang Xiao a lot.

"Carry it in, wash it, and eat it!"

As a result, this pig became a delicacy on the table.

"Oh? Old Zhong, look! What's wrong?" Zhang Xiao gnawed on a big bone, talking with Zhong Dashu vaguely.

"My lord, the students think that when dealing with the natives, one should understand them with reason and move them with affection, and then they should use words to lure them with righteousness for profit. Only in this way can we complete the gradual enlightenment..."

"But you forgot the most important one! Prestige!" Zhang Xiao disdainfully threw the gnawed clean bone into the wooden barrel beside him, "Those official slaves on our pier, Which one was taught by the way of a sage? It is the table where you eat, all snatched from the native villages who harassed us!" He patted the extremely smooth huanghuali strips that had been caressed case.

In a word, Zhong Dashu was speechless.

From the beginning when Zhang Xiao led the crowd to land, apart from dealing with the Qiongzhou government, most of his energy was used to deal with various natives.

To deal with these people, Zhang Xiao said Duan from Lu Song, "Anyone who opposes me, I will send you rockets, knives and guns. After you know how powerful you are, I will turn all the people in your village into official slaves. Obey and If you obey me, I will give you all kinds of goods and buy your native products."

In this way, in just a few months, more than a dozen villages that were wiped out, and more than [-] villages that quickly got rid of poverty and became prosperous, set a positive and negative example for the natives of Yazhou and even the entire Qiongzhou Prefecture.

The group had a quite sumptuous dinner, and someone brought fruit to them. The two children, Da Gou and Er Gou, each grabbed a handful and went to the side to eat and play.As for the two Zhang family brothers, they watched their two nephews under the thatched shed, talking about the family life.

"Huzi, do you do this in the Qiongzhou Mansion, and the government officials don't care?" Although he has been under the command of Shou Han for a long time, deep down, Zhang Xiaoqi still refers to the institutions and officials at all levels of Daming as the government.

"Officer? What do you care?" Zhang Xiao curled his mouth wide, "I have been fed by the master with silver for a long time. Now, when they see me, it is the same as that thing met the master!" He pointed at the garbage in the corner of the courtyard. A dirt dog looking for leftovers by the bucket.

When negotiating defense assistance, Shou Han gave a lot of money and food. First, he gave some money and food to the states and counties that had been harassed by Li Dan.Then, it is to buy a large number of local products everywhere.

From the abandoned coconut shells to the special agricultural products of Qiongzhou Prefecture, betel nuts, puzzles, amomum, Morinda officinalis, pepper, sugar cane, cardamom, and many other local products have become the targets of caravan acquisitions.

The news reached the ears of the lords in Qiongzhou Mansion, which made these two Jinshi from merchant families very puzzled. Nothing else, they are all special products of Qiongzhou Mansion. However, it is not known what use those coconut shells can be used for.

(I will tell you, do I process coconut shells into coconut shell charcoal, which is used to make gunpowder and white sugar? Li Shouhan is very proud in his study

Therefore, the masters came to the door through various channels, asking to cooperate with Commander Zhang and work together to make a fortune!The next thing is simple. As long as the goods of the lords meet the standards of Commander Zhang Da, they will be accepted in full according to the order. Class goods.

With the construction of Yulingang in full swing, the gentlemen once again found a reason to fight the autumn wind. "A large number of young people have been recruited to Yazhou by the general. The fields are barren, and it is not easy to collect money and food. The Qiongzhou government is afraid that it will be difficult to pass the assessment. I also hope that the general will make changes, and don't embarrass the students and colleagues."

An eight-line letter from Qiongzhou Mansion, Zhang Xiao must sail northward, and walk around the island from south to north.

Finally, a solution to everyone's satisfaction came out.

"We give them 5000 taels of silver every year, whether it is a tax package or a co-payment. In a word, you have to cooperate with what I do here. Otherwise, the 5000 taels of silver will be gone. In the future Let’s pretend we didn’t see the pirates attacking us!”

Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, and what is the purpose of everyone leaving their homes to come to the ends of the earth? Isn’t it the white and yellow things? 5000 taels of silver are enough to pay the money, grain and taxes of Qiongzhou government, and there is still some surplus.As long as the amount of money and food requested by the higher authorities is large, some surplus can be distributed to the officials at all levels, so the officials at all levels kept their mouths shut.

"Third brother, you came to this Yazhou, not only to send me money, food and cannons?" The two brothers didn't need to beat around the bush when they were together, Zhang Xiao directly asked Zhang Xiaoqi's purpose of coming.

Zhang Xiaoqi opened his mouth, and was about to talk, but unexpectedly, two voices from the side started arguing loudly!

"You shipworm! You'll be soaked in water sooner or later!"

"You dare not be a coward! The guy who can only run on the shore!"

But the two filial piety were arguing for some reason.

Zhang Xiaoqi didn't even look at it, but had a wry smile on his face.

"Your fourth brother is hiding quietly. His two precious sons have made me anxious. I am here this time to discuss with you about these two children."

Shouhan sent Zhang Xiaobiao's two precious sons to the training class in the martial arts hall, and began to receive military theory and various knowledge, skills, discipline, and moral education in the army from the age of 12.However, after all the calculations, he forgot one thing. If he was the one who sent the two young masters to the navy or army school, the two little guys would not and dare not have any opinions. However, the momentary negligence at that time , It's just that you two choose the school you like.

This time, but stabbed a hornet's nest.

"The big dog is not bad, he is from our old Zhang's family, and he wants to go to the Naval Academy. But the second dog only wants to go to the Army Academy. Alas! These days are really worrying me!"

"That's why I'm using the pretext of sending supplies to discuss with you this time, and I'm also asking you to discipline these two brats. It's too outrageous!"

Zhang Xiaoqi narrated the "family history of misery", shaking his head and sighing occasionally, but Zhang Xiao's eyes and attention were no longer on him, past Zhang Xiaoqi, he stared at the two brothers, Dagou and Ergou.

The two filial piety probably felt that quarreling could not solve the problem. They lived in an environment dominated by force since they were young. How many of these children are kind? So the form of struggle escalated rapidly.

The two of them each pushed down a branch from the tree on the side and started to move.The two children lived in a group of pirates since they were young, and later lived in an environment with a strong military color like Hejing.

Opened the door, raised the short stick in the middle obliquely, and made a decent posture. After that, the two filial piety used the short stick as a razor-sharp knife, attacking fiercely and fiercely, and defending tightly. ventilation.There is also a lot of rules between the exchanges.

"Shut up! Stop!" Zhang Xiaoqi yelled loudly, but the two filial piety turned a deaf ear to it, and continued to scold and fight while fighting.Zhang Xiao, on the other hand, simply placed the chair in front of the two of them, held the teacup in his hand, and drank the tea with gusto, thinking that the fight between the two nephews was a farce.

"Little six! You!" Zhang Xiaoqi looked at his younger brother, and then at the two nephews in front of him, and couldn't help being angry and anxious, "Why don't you care?!"

"I care? Why should I care, wait until they finish fighting."

The fighting between the two Xiao Xiao became more and more intense.Suddenly, the big dog jumped up, and the short stick in the middle hit Ergou's left shoulder. Ergou couldn't dodge in time, and was hit by the stick firmly, with a muffled grunt, and fell to the side.However, at this moment of lightning and flint, the short stick in the middle did not leave, but hit the big dog's leg viciously at the gap where the big dog jumped into the air and could not dodge.

The two fell to the ground almost at the same time.

The soldiers next to him wanted to step forward to help the two of them up, but Zhang Xiao stopped him, "Don't move, let them get up by themselves!"

The two filial piety struggled on the ground for a long time, one grinning and rubbing his shoulders, the other limping and covering his legs, looked at each other after getting up, and still supported each other to stand up.

"Du, why do you think the other party's decision is wrong?"

Zhong Dashu, who rushed over after hearing the news, gave the two little guys Dagou and Ergou medicine for bruises. Looking at the bruises on their bodies, he couldn't help but let people take a breath. The same is true for his brothers. Fierce, no wonder this leader is so fierce!It turned out to be a family heirloom!

The two little fellows were already downcast by Zhang Xiao, and just stood up, they were reprimanded by Zhang Xiaohao.It's not for other reasons, but to reprimand them for their lack of skill. How can they fight for so long to create such a small wound on the opponent? If this was on the actual battlefield, they would have been killed by the opponent many times.

"Sixth Uncle, I'll go first." Ergou frowned and endured the doctor's rubbing of Dieda wine on him, while he kept breathing, and intermittently opened his mouth to explain.

"I think of the Army Academy. Because although the navy is good, but the ships can't go ashore, the generals and the flags, and the capture of the city still depends on the land soldiers."

"Besides, the naval forces everywhere are the same nowadays. No matter how good your ship guns are, as long as I occupy your port and wharf and seal your treasury, you can only float on the water without supplies. !"

"The siege of cities and villages on land, killing people in cities and fields, is something that naval guns can't do!"

"That's not necessarily true! For example, in the Battle of Ayutthaya, the Sixth Uncle, didn't the navy blockade the Gulf of Siam, so that the Siamese boats could not get out of the sea, so they surrendered?" The big dog beside him was a little unconvinced.

"Besides, a navy can travel thousands of miles a day, here and there, and your land camp can only go step by step. By the time you arrive, I have already broken through your city, and I will leave you behind." What a mess!"

"If I were the commander of the navy, I would block your port, stop your cargo ships, and prevent your cargo from getting out. I would just fight you like this, and see how you can outsmart me? I am just a fleet of ships. , you can drag yesterday and consume a whole country of yours!"

"If I stop your route at a place where you die, and make your fleet immobile, within ten days, you will obediently surrender to me."

Big Dog’s words inadvertently revealed the tactics of Yingyi back then. They blocked the Yangtze River Estuary and the water near Zhenjiang, cutting off the water transportation in the south. The Qing government signed the Treaty of Nanjing.

To put it bluntly, the British's strategic vision is still very powerful.

The two little guys still couldn't convince anyone, so they could only turn their attention to the sixth uncle who was the most powerful in their minds.

In terms of inner feelings, Zhang Xiao naturally thinks that the navy is more important than the land battalion, but after more than ten years of fighting and killing, he also knows that the army and navy are good at each field, and it is difficult to match.

However, the importance of the army and the navy is a theory that has been debated for hundreds of years, and it is also related to the national conditions, geography, and strategy of each country. How can Zhang Xiao be able to explain it?

"this?"

Zhang Xiaorao is self-reliant and courageous, facing such a problem, he is also somewhat at a loss for words.However, he has his way.

A Spanish gold coin was dropped on the table.

"The naval division is like a human head, and the land camp is a flower. These are two sides of a gold coin. Without the other side, it would be ugly. Besides, our South China Army area is facing the sea on three sides. Naturally, the two armies are inseparable. !"

"Even here, Uncle Six, the land and water armies must cooperate closely. If the Phoenix Battalion hadn't been in the north to divert the attention of the King of Ayutthaya in the battle of Ayutthaya just now, I would not have dared to go so far into the enemy's territory. The enemy's artillery It’s not about being a vegetarian and reciting Buddha’s name!”

"After you return, you can go to any school you want, but let me remember, first, you are the master's subordinates, second, you are the descendants of the Zhang family, and third, you are brothers."

Sent two Xiao to bed, it was already late at night, Zhang Xiao simply didn't plan to sleep anymore, and Zhang Xiaoqi even planned to catch up on the boat tomorrow morning.The two brothers ordered someone to make another pot of strong tea, and the two of them sat under the thatched shed, smelling the fragrance of pumpkins, listening to the chirping of insects in the field and the sound of corn jointing, and spoke their brotherly words.

"Six, have you heard?" Zhang Xiaoqi leaned in front of Zhang Xiao, lowered his voice and told him the anecdote he had heard very mysteriously.

"What's the matter?" Seeing the seriousness of the third brother, Zhang Xiao couldn't help lowering his voice.

"Right now, someone in He Jing Mansion is quietly spreading the word about the Lord's next move."

"Want to hit that?"

"There are two methods, but I think they both make sense. Maybe the lord himself can't make up his mind. One is to go north and solve the Zheng family. From then on, there will be no worries. The Mo family's defeated army is nothing! The other is to go south, with the navy as the main force, to capture Managa, and control this golden waterway that trades with the Frangji, Ceylons, and Indians. The advantage of this is that you can set up cards to collect taxes and have soldiers The staff of Fang Fang calculated that even if a ship collects tolls at a tax rate of [-] per cent, it will earn tens of millions of taels a year!"

"You were right just now, our Zhang family, with the lord, is definitely going to spread out, and we can't all nest together. The big dog and the second dog have a land camp school and a naval school. If the lord is determined to If you occupy Manlajia, you must help the third brother, I want Manlajia tax customs, and I will be the tax department there!"

Zhang Xiaoqi's eyes shone with a strange light in the night.
