Win the Ding 1617

The Ming Dynasty in the seventh year of Chongzhen came to the end of the year amid the turbulent wars and ice disasters in the hinterland of the Central Plains. When the news came that several cities in Henan and Nanzhili were captured by rogues, it ushered in the eighth year of Chongzhen.

"The city of Nanzhili is lost, I don't care about it! Even if the ancestral grave of his old Zhu's family was dug up, he would not be able to bite my eggs, but this red-haired barbarian took away my senior officials. It's just a matter of fighting him hard!"

The house is located in the north of Jian'anping Bridge, Anhai Town, Jinjiang. It took Zheng Zhilong three years and three months to build it.As Zheng Zhilong's self-defense military stronghold and maritime trade base, this place can be described as a golden city.Not to mention anything else, just say that those cargo ships and gunboats under his command can sail directly into the house, just one line is enough to make people breathtaking!

In the Zhiyuan Garden surrounded by walls, surrounded by hills, pavilions, huts, ponds, small bridges, and winding paths, full of beautiful trees, exotic flowers and plants, Zheng Zhilong, still angry, pointed at the kneeling Guo Huai, who was on the water-milled square brick floor, cursed loudly.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, under the leadership of Putesman, the Dutch in Dayuan marched overnight and sailed for hundreds of miles to take Guo Huaiyi's Yaogang, and took this place that Zheng Zhilong had started to operate in the era of Li Dan and Yan Siqi. Tens of thousands of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou reclamators, their fields and wealth have become the spoils of war for the Dutch East India Company.

Guo Huai fled back to Xiamen overnight by boat.

"Puyou! I entrusted you with the big staff, so many Zhangzhou and Quanzhou fellow villagers, and those iron utensils. You are lucky! I lost a clean one overnight! That's how much I spent. [-] silver, humbly go and give others things that you only got in exchange for being careful!"

"Brother, there is also the raw silk we hoarded in Dayuan. Tens of thousands of bundles are cheaper than the Hongmaoyi people!" The words of Zheng Zhilong's younger brother Zheng Zhibao were like pouring a bucket of hot oil on Zheng Zhilong's anger. Let Lao Zheng's anger become more and more out of control!

He flew up and kicked Guo Huaiyi a rolling gourd. "Tell me! How did those Dutch red-haired barbarians fight here!?" [

Regardless of wiping the blood off his face, Guo Huaiyi knelt down on the ground, "Commander, that day was the fifth day of the first lunar month, and the brothers were rewarded with wine and meat, and they all drank too much. Wait until the brothers on duty found out. The Dutch I have already rushed to the front, and before I can release the artillery, the brothers were chased down by these Dutch ghosts!"

"You are useless!" Zheng Zhilong pulled out the sword at his waist and was about to kill Guo Huaiyi, but was hugged tightly by Zheng Zhibao.

"Big brother! Big brother! Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. Now is the time to employ people, so we still have to find a way to gather troops. Take back the big ones! Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to raise rations for this year!"

Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but force himself to calm down, carefully thinking about how to deal with the battle of the officers.

According to the agreement when the Bureau of Reclamation was established that day, all the land rent of the grain harvested by the senior members would go to the Zheng family as the military rations of the Zheng family army, and Nanzhong would not take a grain of grain.However, deerskin, camphor, etc. should be used to pay the price of various materials, and now there is no land rent for senior officials.All kinds of accounts owed to Nanzhong have to be paid.

"Go! Go down to the medical clinic to see your injuries. When all the brothers are here, you have to tell them how to capture the great officials!"

However, Zheng Jun was scattered all over the place, and during the Spring Festival, the officers and soldiers took Zheng Zhilong's one-month salary and half-month gift, and went home happily to celebrate the New Year with these white and round silver dollars. If you want to get all the troops again, you have to wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month at least before preparing ships, raising materials such as gunpowder and cannons.I'm afraid it may not be finished in February, and even if it is done, it depends on the wind direction and tide at sea. Zheng Zhilong is so anxious that he is like an ant on a hot pot every day. Make a wish and burn incense everywhere.

And the same bad news is on the eleventh day of the first lunar month.It crossed the vast expanse of waves in the South China Sea and reached the ears of guards who were inspecting Qiongzhou Mansion.

Shou Han originally came to Qiongzhou Mansion for a few other things.

First, I came to Yulin to see the construction of the military port here. In fact, it is not just a military port. The port here also bears the heavy responsibility of transferring personnel and materials to various places. The berths of the port are not only for gunboats, but also for many merchant ships. , Cargo ships are also parked here in a big way, replenishing fresh water and fresh ingredients.

When there are too many ships, the berths are not enough, not to mention that Yulingang has to provide material support for the Li and Miao tribes who conquered Wuzhi Mountain.Therefore, after celebrating the New Year at home, Shouhan led a team to Yulingang, Qiongzhou Prefecture, to work on site.

The second thing to do is to visit the breeding base he named Nanhong Fine Breed Farm.Large tracts of land have been developed, and the strong demand for good seeds has amazed everyone. From Siam to Arakan, from Annan to the mountainous areas of Laos, large tracts of farmland are like a hungry strong man. Has the appetite to devour everything and the whole world, whether it is farm tools, fertilizers, seeds, pesticides or cloth, salt and other daily necessities, no matter how much you put into it, it is like throwing into a huge black hole, No sound, no, the output is still amazing.Moreover, with the deepening of reclamation step by step, the ability to control the above-mentioned areas is also gradually strengthened.

In this way, the importance of the Nanhong Breeding Farm becomes even more prominent. No matter what kind of seeds, they will degenerate to varying degrees after several generations of cultivation. Newly cultivated seeds must be invested, otherwise there will be large-scale production cuts.

Therefore, Shou Han must come to Nanhong Breeding Farm.For the sake of his tens of millions of acres of fertile land and the livelihood of millions of people, he has to come.Moreover, there is also a large teardrop tree planted by his order, which is the planting of rubber trees that we are familiar with.

The third thing is that the fleet responsible for exiling the five major families in Xin'an County to Shizhou will pass through here and return to Nanzhong. To give deserved praise. [

Shou Han really believed that the rookies in the Naval Academy, no matter how good they were, would become veterans who would not change their faces in the face of huge waves after going through the South Pacific.Compared with any sea coachman and English pirates, he is no less inferior!

Therefore, Shouhante brought all the civil and military officials here, even his precious daughter Li Huamei came with the fleet.

but.But I heard such a bad news in Yulingang!

"Whoa!"

Hearing the news that Zheng Jun, who was brought back to Dayuan by the merchant ship that escaped from Dayuan, was driven into the sea overnight by the Dutch, the guard kicked off the table in front of him, and the cups and plates on the table shattered to the ground. The Qiongzhou government officials who had to be present to accompany General Li felt distressed.They are all good lily porcelains!

"How many troops does the Zheng family army have in the north of Da Yuan? It was finished overnight?" Shou Han asked or questioned the shop assistant who came to report the letter with a pale face.

"Guo Huai's first department. There should be at least [-] people. In addition, there should be no less than this number among the Kenting people."

"Is it accurate?"

"It should be accurate. This is measured from the number of knives and guns we shipped to the senior staff!"

"How many red-haired barbarians are there?"

"There should be no more than 400 people, though." The manager of the firm hesitated for a moment.

"But what?"

"During this time, the Dutch have been fighting against the raw people on the island, and fought twice with the big-bellied raw fan kings in 18 villages south of the Dajia River. After getting angry, I went to Chixian City to meet the Dutch every year, and participated in some local meeting organized by the Dutch. I paid the buckskin, raw gold, camphor and other special products sent by the Dutch in the previous year."

"Since the defeat at Liuluo Bay, Putesman has intensified his efforts to search for raw materials on the island. In previous years, he was required to pay [-] buckskins, and since last year, he has been required to pay [-]. Camphor, raw gold, and rice The increase is also doubled, in order to recover the losses of the defeat as soon as possible, so that the Dutch in Batavia can continue to send troops!"

Everyone hears here.He seemed to understand something, especially the naval generals who participated in the naval battle on Nan'ao Island, the guards' eyes were a little wrong. "Ah?! It turns out that you asked me to deliberately open a hole to let Puttesman go away, because it might be today, right?! That guy Puttesman was determined to report Luowan's defeat. Hatred is bound to require the entire army to build ships and train soldiers, but these require a lot of money as a backing. He can only search from the top of the head, so he searched in the head, you come back to the robber encounter Going to Grandpa Thief, robbing him on the way?!"

"These freshmen were frightened by Putesman, and they were threatened with extermination at every turn. This time, when Putesman went north, he recruited more than 100 freshmen from the village community to help them fight, and promised them to lay down Santo In each city of the Ming Dynasty, [-]% of the ironware and cloth in the city can be given to them. On the one hand, it is the temptation of such a huge profit, and on the other hand, it is the threat of force to exterminate the genocide. Of course, which students know which one to choose! That is, each village The company sent [-] troops, that is more than [-] people, not to mention, Fan'er has always taken the grass to hunt for fun."

The manager of the firm stopped talking.

Chucao is another name for the local headhunting custom (headhunting) in Dayuan, which is the act of cutting off the enemy's head. It is called "Mgaya" in Atayal.This kind of behavior also exists among the Austronesian people who are inextricably related to the Dayuan Shengfan.Among these ethnic groups, many tribes also have such customs.In fact, the custom of headhunting has complex motives.Of course, headhunting will be done for hatred, but it may also be headhunting for blessings, or headhunting for showing one's bravery.Or headhunting in order to pray for a good harvest in the coming year.

However, anyone who can participate in the drafting and beheading is regarded as a warrior in their respective tribes. This kind of behavior is related to his living environment and status.

Facing such a frenzied hacking and killing of such a group of strangers, and the Dutch commanding and dispatching the use of firearms, Zheng's army scattered in various camps for the New Year, it seems reasonable to lose the battle!

However, thinking of the agricultural tools and ironware that were just handed over to the senior officials of the Bureau of Reclamation in the twelfth lunar month, as well as the knives and guns enough to organize a Kenting team of thousands of people, Shou Han felt his heart was bleeding.

"Damn! That's nearly 20 catties of wrought iron and nine-turn steel! It's all in the hands of the Hong'Maoyi people, how many weapons can they make?!"

However, it is a little gratifying that due to the chemical and casting characteristics of Jiuzhuan steel, it can only be cast once. The manufacture of firearms is at most a part of distributing these ironware and weapons to those strangers, and is used to bribe and appease those strangers.

but.Even so, it was enough for Zheng Zhilong to drink a pot when he regained the officials.

Seeing that Shou Han was silent for a long time, Wen Wu who was beside him didn't dare to talk too much, they could only communicate with each other with their eyes.

"You said, the matter of the senior staff. How should I deal with it?"

After thinking for a while, Shou Han finally asked everyone present.

Everyone looked at each other, and soon there were opinions.

"My lord, you gave him Zheng Zhilong the officer, and we gave him farm tools, seeds, and rations. If he can't keep it by himself, it's none of our business?"

This is a kind of nothing to do with oneself.

"My lord, that senior officer shouldn't have been handed over to Zheng Zhilong at that time. It was just right that he lost it in his hands today. Let's just get it back! There is no need to give it to him anymore! Those tens of thousands of farmers who were in the senior staff just happened to be returned. Our subordinates!"

This is another kind of opportunity, how can you let it go?

"My lord, is Zheng Zhilong a kind person? I think the lord knows better than us what a senior official means to him. He will definitely take back the senior official, so we will send troops to the senior official. When he is frustrated, we will take down the senior official again." Members, this is Zhuge Liang's old trick of taking Nanjun. We didn't take the territory from you, Zheng Zhilong!"

There are three kinds of opinions, which advocate to quickly win the big officials and bring them into the sphere of influence of Nanzhong; they advocate to ignore the contradiction between the Dutch and Zheng Zhilong, and just wait and see; the third is to observe the relationship between the two. Take the opportunity to take down the big officials.

Watch, act, don't care.Three opinions were placed in front of Shou Han.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't panic! Fighting a war is not something that can be carried out in three days and two mornings! It is also necessary to prepare and raise supplies first! You are right. Sir, you must bring it back! Bring it back this time , we will not hand it over to Zheng Zhilong again! However, we will not go head-to-head with the Dutch either! Even if we want to fight head-to-head, we must smash the power of the Dutch!"

After hearing this.Everyone knew that Shou Han had made up his mind, and everyone just put forward their opinions and suggestions according to his major policies.

On the 25th of the first lunar month, when people try to pull out their bodies and wills from the firecrackers and lanterns of the Lantern Festival, and devote themselves to the work of the new year, the ships serving as patrols in the distance rush to deliver letters, and a large fleet of ships appears in the distance. It's our naval training fleet returning from Shizhou!

The boys who practiced the fleet stood upright, even the most critical and strict instructors in the school couldn't find fault with them, the sea breeze blackened their faces, and completely turned them into heroes across the sea.

A lazy koala, as Chu Tianlei's pet, was given to Li Huamei. This lazy little guy immediately made Huamei squeal and dance happily.

In the next few days, apart from his normal business, Shou Han listened to Chu Tianlei tell about the ten states, and listened to him talk about the natural scenery and characteristics of the ten states.

"My lord, these ten states seem to be Huang Java, which is said to be the place that the eunuch Sanbao went to!"

"Looking from the sea, here is a piece of yellow and yellow. The vastness and magnificence of the territory is far from being comparable to Nanzhong. Moreover, the climate there seems to be exactly the opposite of our Nanzhong. When our army arrived, it was the time when spring grass sprouted. At the same time, within a thousand miles, there is a verdant verdant."

Along the coastline, the members of the five major families who were sent here were disrupted and then built into resettlement sites, and these thousands of people were resettled. While issuing weapons for self-defense, a sentry was sent to each resettlement site to carry out Guard part-time to maintain law and order.Although the sporadically visible local dwarf natives are fierce, they are extremely primitive. The weapons made of stones in their hands cannot be the opponents of those immigrants who hold weapons made of wrought iron, let alone those who are equipped with fire weapons. Weapons of the regular army.

The construction of the resettlement site went smoothly. Land reclamation, reconnaissance, and map drawing were all carried out in an orderly manner. In a residential area, iron ore "naked" on the ground was found. Speaking of which, Chu Tianlei He took out a few ore samples from the bag he carried with him, and handed them to Shou Han with both hands. "The accompanying technicians have seen it and said that the grade is very high. I order those who stay in Shizhou to pay more attention. If there is a coal mine nearby in this place in the future, they can mine and smelt iron on the spot, and there is no need to transport iron to Shizhou. state."

"The local natives are different from my Chinese people, and also different from Flangji people and Kunlun slaves. These people have brown skin, thick eyebrows, long curly hair, thick jaws, protruding jaws, and deep pupils. Brown or black. The hands are all stone tools, most of which are made and occasionally ground."

Speaking of this, Chu Tianlei got up and knelt down to plead guilty, "This subordinate dared to pretend that the lord had ordered the pardon of this generation's crimes when he landed in Shizhou, and allowed them to open up wasteland and farm in Shizhou without being affected by the land. limit."

"No problem! After returning to Hue, you can go to Chang Shi to file a record. It can be considered as a follow-up procedure after the fact. It is not a violation of the rules."

But what excites Chu Tianlei even more is that this seems to be the largest and best ranch in the South China Army after Fulang Mountain.The terrain is not like the mountainous grasslands in the Fulang Mountains, but grasslands with a radius of thousands of miles.They have only seen descriptions of grasslands in books, but this part of the ten states seems to be a paradise for animal husbandry. The vast and empty ancient wasteland has beautiful grass and water, which is extremely suitable for animal husbandry.

"The subordinates left all the cattle, pigs, horses, cats and dogs carried by the fleet in the ten states for the soldiers and immigrants to cultivate and reproduce."

"Tianlei, this trip to the ten states, you did a good job! After returning, first of all, I will give credit to you and the dolls of the training fleet. Second, all ships that go to the ten states in the future must be taken with the ship. Go to the bulls, sheep, and horses! Several stud masters from the horse farm will also go to one or two!"

After finishing speaking, Shou Han changed his subject.

"Tianlei, this voyage can be described as turbulent. I don't know if I still have the strength to fight?"

His eyes were fixed on Chu Tianlei.

"My lord, where are you going to fight?"

"I want to completely wipe out the Dutch fleet on this sea!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m read.)
