Win the Ding 1617

ps: I drove hundreds of miles back from my mother-in-law’s house, and the highway was blocked. Can you give me a monthly ticket for this hard work? !

However, with less than [-] remnants of Dutch soldiers and defeated generals on Dayuan Island, a few broken ships, and dozens of cannons of various calibers, if they plan to defend Dayuan in front of Zheng Zhilong's crowd and sea of ​​fire, These measures are not enough.

Putmans commanded the troops under his command while recruiting peasants to build fortifications and fortifications in the city of Zeelandia, which was more than three feet long, and one Kunshen, with glutinous rice, syrup, oyster shell ash, and three-component clay. The fortifications were further strengthened.In addition, the preparations for these three places were strengthened, and official documents were issued to request castles and forts in various places to strengthen reconnaissance and arming. Chinese were not allowed to sell grain and buy local products in Prominja City, Zeelandia City and other places, and all Chinese leaders were placed under house arrest. Avoid collaborating with the enemy in the city of Zeelandia.All the unharvested rice in the field was burned. "If anyone dares to resist, he will be killed on the spot!"

"Hundreds of our fellow villagers in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou have been killed by the Dutch in their own fields in order to protect the harvest in their fields!"

"Wait!" Zheng Zhilong waved his hand to stop Zheng Yun's report, "How do you know this news? Can we still have contact with the island now?"

Zheng Yun gave him an affirmative answer.

"But it can only be traffic news. It is unlikely that a large group of people will go immediately. Our ships cannot enter those ports. Dutch artillery fire blocked several port routes, and our people are very careful when entering and exiting."

Zheng Zhilong was pacing excitedly in the flower hall. This kind of military situation came too timely for him.

"Also, according to what our people learned from the insider of the Dutch governor's mansion, Putesman has been worried about the lack of troops. He plans to send someone to Batavia to ask for help. In addition, in order to supplement Due to the lack of firearms, he planned to send people to Haojiang to buy gunpowder for the Portuguese’s artillery.” [

"If the Portuguese don't sell it, or plan to collect money, the Dutch plan to use the name of buying guns and gunpowder to capture Macau."

"Ha ha!"

After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help laughing wildly. The wild laughter made Zheng Yun and Tian Chuan a little confused, and Tian Chuan even worried about Zheng Zhilong with frightened eyes.

"Zheng Yun, ma'am, do you know what banner the Portuguese in Macau are playing today?"

"Isn't it the flag of the Kingdom of Portugal?"

"That's natural. However, the Portuguese is now the puppet of Li Shouhan of Nanzhong. If these Dutchmen go to fight Macau, Li Shouhan will be able to swallow this breath? I'm afraid the Dutchman's musket has not been lit yet." , the cannons of Nanzhong over there rang!"

"Husband, do you mean that General Li from Nanzhong will also beat officials?"

Although Tian Chuan said this with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye, it exploded in Zheng Zhilong's ears like a spring thunder.

"Brother, the Dutch in Batavia sent this year's protection fee, 12 gold coins."

Zheng Zhibao walked in excitedly from outside.

The arrival of the 12 gold coins made Zheng Zhilong hesitant.

What should we do with the Dutch?Do you want to beat the boss?

Hit, you can get a stable rear base.Settle the settlers, harvest grain, and set up a commercial station in Dayuan.If you don't fight, you can collect 12 gold coins per year from the Dutch as an offering, which is enough for him to buy food and various firearms and weapons in Nanzhong.

However, how can the Dutch swallow this bad breath?

"Zhibao, what do you think should be done with the Dutch?"

"Brother, let me tell you that the Dutch are a bunch of white-eyed wolves who don't remember to fight. You hold a knife in your hand. He will obediently pay the protection fee. If you are not careful, he will bite you!" Zheng Zhibao was also indignant when he learned about the senior officer.

"But right now we are powerless. Shangfeng wants us to go to southern Jiangxi to suppress the bandits. To deal with those rogues, there will not be too many troops left in Fujian. At most, we will be optimistic about the family. If we want to regain the territory of the big officials, or teach us a lesson Even the Dutch are unlikely."

"So, Zhibao, take the money sent by the Dutchman. In the past two days, you let the guy who sent the money accompany you to the Dayuan, and ask that Putmans to withdraw from our territory! Ask them to give us An explanation."

"That's it?!"

"Then I am here to straighten out the troops and tie up the ships. Prepare to fight."

"Brother, are we going to fight the Dutch? We are fighting at sea, our brothers are not afraid of the Dutch, but if we really want to fight on Dayuan Island, our brothers have never fought a siege battle!"

"What's more, we have to fight those savages. They take the mountains and forests as their homes. I don't know when a few savages with broken hair and tattoos will jump out of the forest and grass. After cutting down a few brothers, they will scream again. Disappear." Zheng Yun was also very worried about this battle.

Zheng Zhilong looked at Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Yun slyly, "Our territory is mainly in the north, the Spanish city of Santo Domingo, and the Dutch's territory is in the south, with the cities of Zeelandia, Prominza, and Chicai. The city is all here. This is naturally the focus of the Dutch, we don't care about it, we just want to fight this piece of northern city!"

"Then, what about the Dutch in the south going north?"

"Don't worry, someone will attack the cities in the south!"

The two brothers communicated with each other with a "you know" eyes, and a smug smile appeared on their faces.It was just that Zheng Yun and Tian Chuan were left scratching their heads.

The same military situation passed through the vast waves of the South China Sea and was sent to the guard who supervised the construction of the navy anchorage in Qiongzhou Prefecture.Shou Han looked at the information collected by Muyagou in the fastest time, and an elusive smile appeared on his face.

"The Dutch wanted to go to Macao to replenish their ammunition and ammunition? Is this a good thing?! It means that they have run out of ammunition!"

Mu Yagou still had an expression of loathing ghosts, and spoke with that unidentifiable accent.

"Then, did your subordinate inform Hao Jiang that they are not allowed to sell gunpowder to the Dutch?"

"Hey! No need! It's very convenient for you to trade everywhere. You can buy our firearms and gunpowder with all the big names in Fusang, and even Zheng Zhilong in the mainland. It's not so much that others sell them. It's better for us Sell ​​them our gunpowder!"

The wooden tooth dog is very keen to capture the difference in the tone of Shou Han. The Dutch intend to replenish firearms and gunpowder weapons, but Shou Han means that except for firearms, the rest can be sold!

That is.From those amazingly powerful gunpowder, to Juehu Dao and Sangmen Gun, they can all be sold to the Dutch!

"What does my lord mean?"

There was a light like will-o'-the-wisp in Wood Tooth Dog's eyes.

"The Dutch have swords and guns in their hands, so they can deal with those raw animals!"

The wooden tooth dog cried out inwardly ashamed!It turns out that what the lord meant was to once again use the magic weapon of borrowing a knife to kill people, let the Dutch fully play the role of pioneers, massacre and suppress a group of natives who have an instinctive sense of resistance to outsiders, and then themselves Then go to play the role of liberator.

And the gunpowder produced by the Nanzhong Army.Although Mu Yagou is the head of intelligence and is not in charge of military production, but I have heard of it more or less. Many people mix the bought Nanzhong gunpowder with their own gunpowder. The word "medicine".It will cause a bombing accident, or have a serious impact on the life of the firearm.

"My lord, there is one more thing. Several principals in the mainland felt strange. They didn't dare to make decisions, so they sent the documents by fast boat."

The contents of the letters of Ye Qi and Lin Wenbing are basically the same as those of the Hanyuan firm's business investigation office.

Recently, in the business circles of the northern and southern capitals, some unidentified people came into contact with Han Yuan firms under the guidance of Shanxi businessmen.Trying to buy military supplies from Hanyuan merchants.

After several years of hard work, Shanxi businessmen's keen business sense and tentacles finally found the source of those excellent military supplies!

This is the only thought in Shou Han's mind.

"There are two capitals in the north and the south? What are they planning to buy?" Shou Han's voice was slightly trembling and trembling, but if someone who was not familiar with him listened carefully, he would not be able to hear it.

"It's pretty much the same."

"Let's talk about Datong first."

"Cloth, medicine, gauze, cotton, and alcohol. In addition, armor, knives and guns, and wrought iron are all hot items. A pair of armor made of nine-turn steel can be sold for 150 taels of silver, and there are also There is room for improvement. Someone asked for a sword made of iron and steel. The price is up to us."

"Well, tell me about Xiaoyi!"

"Nanjing mainly buys the above-mentioned finished products, and less wrought iron and the like. Beijing's is different, almost everything. From wrought iron to gunpowder, from armor to canned food, almost all of our products are caught. He also asked shopkeeper Lin if he could sell them grain, salt, and vegetable oil."

"Not to mention the large quantity, there are thousands of armors and swords, tens of thousands of shi of rice, and the price is basically not returned. The two principals are not sure, so I am writing to ask you to make a decision."

"Write to Ye Qi and Lin Wenbing and tell them that they have to deal with this group of Shanxi merchants in a hypocritical manner. Apart from making sure that they were purchased by the government and the army, they will refuse all requests from the Shanxi merchants. I really can't thank them. , so I sold them some armor, knives and guns mainly made of nine-turn steel, and I would give one out of ten pieces, and once every three months. If there are too many, I will thank you!"

Shou Han had vaguely guessed in his mind who the trade partner appeared in the Beijing and South Beijing!Ye Qi and Lin Wenbing didn't know, but he was very clear as a time traveler!Those who appeared in Nanjing are definitely the Shaanxi Peasant Army who crossed the prefecture and government in Nanzhili. On the land adjacent to Nanjing, knowing that Nanjing can buy all the military supplies they need with gold and silver, it is no wonder that such a good thing can be missed!The peasant army may lack strategic vision, but it is very clear about which weapons are easy to use!

The customers who appear in Beijing are more strategic.

Not only do they have to buy all Nanzhong's products, they also have to buy wrought iron and other raw materials to go back and make them themselves!In this way, everything they need can be manufactured: iron armor, swords, cotton armor, and even firecrackers and cannons.Shou Han couldn't imagine what it would be like once his agricultural products and primary industrial products were obtained by those generous customers through the business routes of Shanxi merchants.

That's right, those customers in Beijing are Jian slaves from Liaodong!

Liaodong Jiannu, whose stomach was filled with Nanzhong rice, vegetable oil, and refined salty dishes, wore a cotton armor made of Nanzhong cloth and a wrought iron jacket made of Nanzhong. armor or chain mail.Wielding Juehu Knife and Sangmen Spear in his hand, he rushed to the cities in the inland along the gap opened by the traitors with the gunpowder of Nanzhong, and carried out massacres and plunders again and again, and then used these stains The property full of blood continued to buy weapons and gunpowder from myself.

This is what Shou Han doesn't want to see right now!

He can't bear the reputation of being a traitor and an enemy, such a reputation.It was too heavy for him.

At least not right now!

Having to admire the ability and patience of the Shanxi businessman, Shou Han lamented in his heart, thinking that he was doing something more secretive, whether it was the cooperation with Li Fengjie.It was Lin Wenbing who sent weapons, armor and first-aid kits to Hong Chengchou, all of which were extremely secretive. The confidentiality work was inspected jointly by the Business Intelligence Office, the Investigation Office, and the General Inspection Office. Defeated in front of you!

The perseverance of this group of masters, and the ability to summarize, analyze and sort out business intelligence in a nuanced manner.All admirable.

The perseverance and hard-working spirit of Shanxi businessmen are admirable for being able to rely on camel fleets to carry business to places that are extremely far away like Moscow in the absence of railways and roads.

It's a pity that if the ability is not used in the right way.The greater the ability, the greater the harm!

Shou Han has always suspected that the Shanxi merchant group in the late Ming Dynasty was hedging their bets.On the one hand, in the hinterland, they informed the peasant army mainly from the same village in Shaanxi, and provided explicit and covert support;Moreover, when the peasant army in the pass was in danger of being wiped out, as a bridge and channel, Huangtaiji and Dorgon led the Eight Banners to enter the pass. On the one hand, they took advantage of the empty Ming army in the pass to plunder the wealth and population .On the other hand, the de facto Allied peasant army was saved from danger.Let them continue to wander around between the Jianghuai River and the Han Dynasty, consuming and attracting the financial, material, manpower, and military strength of the Ming Dynasty.

And Li Zicheng and others also reciprocated. Wherever they went, they announced public buying and selling, and the buying and selling were fair.Don't offend these rich and powerful fellow villagers.Only during the Battle of Kaifeng, because they were worried that Li Zicheng would take revenge after he entered the city, Shanxi merchants joined forces with the Kaifeng army and civilians to defend the city, so that our King Li Chuang did not capture Kaifeng three times. I just got a city soaked in water, and wealth, children, and food are all gone.

"The timing is not enough now, and I don't have the ability to showdown with this group of old Xi'er!" Shou Han muttered to himself while holding the two secret reports from Nanjing and Beijing.

"My lord, my lord?!" The wooden tooth dog used his characteristic low-pitched and suppressed call, pulling the guard back from his deep thoughts.

"Oh?! What's the matter?"

For a moment, Shou Han couldn't remember why the spy chief in front of him came to him.

"Then Nanjing and Beijing are going to deal with it like this?" Mu Yagou is good at distinguishing "color" by appearance. He found that Shou Han was a little out of control today, so he tapped the corner to confirm again, so as not to misunderstand the meaning of the lord. He gave the wrong order and brought himself a catastrophe.

"First, if the Dutch of Daguan go to Haojingao to buy weapons, inform the Portuguese there that they can buy as many knives and guns as they want, but if they buy gunpowder," the corner of Shou Han's mouth twitched. , "We can only sell them the gunpowder we specially made for them! Those who violate the order will bear the consequences!"

Just now Shouhan has already thought about it. He plans to produce some special formula gunpowder for these special customers. On the current basis, add more copper oxide to make the gunpowder more powerful.But, this kind of gunpowder also has some bad side effects on firearms, the most obvious is that it seriously shortens the service life of firearms!It is easy to cause a bombing accident!

"Secondly, inform Ye Qi and Lin Wenbing that if these Shanxi merchants buy military weapons, they will delay the time on the grounds that the distance is long and the production is not easy. If they ask to buy ten pieces, they will be given one! And, only Provide them with armor and weapons made of nine-turn steel. In addition, a small amount of swords and swords made of iron steel can be supplied according to the number!"

Mu Yagou left excitedly with the export-oriented formula of the new gunpowder written by Shou Han himself and instructions on the arms purchase trade.Standing on the top of the fort in Yulingang facing the humid sea breeze blowing from the South China Sea, Shouhan looked at the betel nut trees as straight as masts or the swaying coconut trees in the mountains and plains to the north. Full of pride.

"Father, why are you so happy?"

Li Huamei, who was sweating all over the boat, came to Shou Han's side at some point. Behind him, Shi Daxuan's son Shi Lang stood there timidly.

"Father, this is a friend I met on Nan'ao Island. He came to us with the intention of applying for the Naval Academy. But Uncle Zhang threatened him and said that this matter requires your consent!"

"Really? I have to ask him about this later! You take your friend to rest first, and I will talk to your Uncle Zhang about it during dinner. "

Li Huamei thought for a while, and finally mustered up the courage.

"Then, Dad, tell your uncle at the Naval Academy later that I want to apply for the Naval Academy too!"

After saying this, he dragged Shi Langfei to escape from the fort.

This time it was Li Shouhan's turn to be surprised.

At dinner, Shou Han really called Zhang Xiaohu to eat in front of him.However, what I was talking about had something to do with the two children being admitted to the Naval Academy.
