Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

"Sure enough, it's a Franc machine ship." Standing at a corner of the pier, quietly looking at the commercial Galen ship moored in the harbor, Lin Dake (recommended by friend j82050) who took over as the treasurer of the Taiwan Strait Chamber of Commerce from Ying Tanong He looked very gloomy. Speaking of which, he was transferred to Ryukyu foreign office by the military academy because he was Lin Sheng's cousin. Otherwise, he would never have the stain of following He You in Tamsui to have an affair with the Qing court. The chance to stand up is like this. Only when you lose it do you know the value of hope. Therefore, he never wants anyone or anything to stand in his way. "Very good, you dared to come here without paying the sea tax sign, obviously you have ignored the ban of this feudal clan." Lin Dake grinned. "If the tiger doesn't show his power, he will treat us as sick cats. If someone comes, send our liaison clipper back, and the navy must stop it."

Lin Dake was anxiously waiting for the response from the Danshui team and even the entire navy, but the Zheng Jun navy, who was still ignorant at the moment, had not yet recovered from the victories of the two raids in Quanzhou and Xinghua. Gathering at the Military Academy is planning the next wave of attacks on Fujian Province.

"Now that the Qing captives are expanding their borders along the coast, the people of Fujian Province are full of grievances. In the past two months, the people who have come to vote in the sea alone have more than [-] households and [-] people. Therefore, the humble official thinks that we are still there. We can deal another blow to the Qing captives on the front lines of Funing and Dinghai, so as to help more people to vote for our clan."

"Dinghai is no better than Xinghua and Quanzhou." Huang Chuxu was somewhat disapproving of the enthusiasm of the young military recruits. "Once it lands, not to mention the soldiers from Zhejiang and Gan from the north and the south, even the Eight Banners in Fuzhou will swarm out. I think it's better to be careful. After all, our capital is still small now, so we can't lose it easily."

"Going to Dinghai and entering the Majiang River, in addition to deterring the Qing captives in Fuzhou, there is another very important reason." Niu Fu Niu Mingli (recommended by a friend Fantasia Kuanglong) His ancestors were also considered to be rich in Quanzhou, but by his generation they had already fallen Later, when Zheng Jing occupied Quanzhou, he joined the army, step by step from a small soldier to the current position as a lieutenant of Liupin Zhongxian, but because Zheng Kezang purged the Zheng army, he was deprived of his military power and kicked to join the army Hospital, but he is carefree, so that he gets along very well with a group of young colleagues. "Dan people, there are tens of thousands of Dan people on the Minjiang River."

"Danmin?" Not only Huang Chuxu exclaimed, but even the expressions of Maying and others changed. "Does the courtyard think so?"

There are many theories about the origin of the Dan people. Some say they are the descendants of the Baiyue people in ancient times, some say they are the descendants of the anti-Ming armed forces who were degraded by the Ming court as pariahs in the past, and some say that they are actually the people who lost their land since the Tang and Song Dynasties. But in any case, Danmin, Luomin, Lehu, Bandang, servants, Leji, and Haihu are all untouchables in the world, the most despicable people, etc., almost the same existence as the untouchables in India No wonder Huang Chuxu and others were surprised when they heard the words.

"It's not what the courtyard thinks, but what the Lord wants." Lin Sheng explained. "Because Taiwan is vast and sparsely populated, the Lord intends to attract Dan people to farm ashore to increase the registered population of Dongning." Upon hearing that it was Zheng Kezang's idea, Huang Chuxu and Ma Ying immediately looked at each other, and then listened to Lin Sheng continue. "Besides, the Dan people are more familiar with water. If they are attracted by the small favors of the Tartars and become a member of the navy for them, it will be troublesome for the clan. As for the habits of the Dan people, the She Fan has already obeyed it. There is nothing intolerable about the strange customs of the Dan people."

What Lin Sheng said was exactly Zheng Kezang’s true thoughts. In his opinion, it doesn’t matter even if the Dan people can’t integrate into Dongning society for the time being. There are She Fan and Sheng Fan on the island, so why care about it? The degree of Sinicization is quite high. The Danmin family, not to mention that they provide taxes, labor and even part of the military service against the sea.

"That means we must settle the sea?" Maying asked uncertainly. Speaking of which, he is a Hakka child, and he can be regarded as the same as the Danmin, but the rules for many years still make him think he is nobler than the Danmin. . "For the mere Dan people, in case the Qing army is attracted to encircle them." Maying shook her head. "The humble job still doesn't agree to take risks."

"It's not that Hailianjiang must be decided now." Lin Sheng explained again. "This is just a strategy set by the Military Academy. As for whether it will definitely be selected in the end, don't you have to discuss it with you guys?" Lin Sheng stomped in front of the sand table. "In fact, it is not necessarily necessary to use your brains in Fujian. Guangdong, Zhejiang, and thousands of miles of sea are places where you can start."

Lin Sheng's words brightened the eyes of several people: "That's right, Guangdong's soldiers have all arrived in Zhangzhou, we can avoid the reality and think of a way between Chaohui, and Guangdong is now half-hearted about the implementation of the seal order. If you have two ideas, you will definitely get more back."

"Your officer thinks this is a bad idea." Yan Daoji, the leader of the Tamsui team who hurried back to the meeting, was the youngest among the participants, but he was born in Jiayin and was old enough to be a boy scout. His grandfather Yan Wangzhong used to be the town general of Zhiwu Town, so he still has some contacts in the army, and the old people in the navy are basically wiped out, so Zheng Kezang met when he promoted him to one of the five commanders The resistance wasn't too great. Of course, he himself didn't want to be said to be in the upper class because of his family background, so his performance in the army was still very eye-catching. "Although there is no navy in Guangdong today, the Qing Dynasty occupies the whole country after all, and the manpower and material resources are not comparable to that of the clan. If the offensive of the clan stimulates the Tartar Emperor Kangxi and orders Guangdong to restore the navy, that will be for the overall situation of the clan. It's not a good thing."

"Commander Yan's words, the lower officials don't agree." Ma Ying immediately sang the opposite tune. Of course, his personal relationship with Yan Daoji is not bad, so this is just a matter of fact. "The Qing captives were deliberately planning to destroy this feudal clan. Could it be that if this feudal clan didn't go to fight Guangdong, wouldn't the emperor of the Tartars remember to rebuild the Guangdong navy?" Maying shook her head. "Instead of worrying about them waking up, it is better for the feudal clan to strike first." Dafanglue is right, but after all, Maying was once in charge of contacting Chen Shengwu, so he naturally knows that Zheng Kezang may not hope that because of the navy's actions As a result, the contact with Xinhanliu was interrupted. "Of course how and where to attack Guangdong Province must be carefully weighed. The staff should also have their own plans." Since it is difficult to explain in public, Ma Ying only nodded slightly. "Please learn from Master Qian."

Wu Shu was personally arresting the staff secretary, so Lin Sheng was rather reluctant, but he is also a person who has become a master, so he has heard of the existence of the mainland job. Since Ma Ying explained so emphatically, he had no choice but to go first Nodding his head, he said, "Listen to what the lord wants. It probably means not to let the coastal Qing captives go into the sea. But now that the strength of the feudal clan is not good, some things should be considered carefully before we talk about it."

"Is this the new self-generated blunderbuss made by Guns and Cannon?" The new blunderbuss sent by the Armament Department, a strange gleam flashed in the eyes of the scouts and team leaders who were ordered to come to inspect the blunderbuss. "Da'an, it seems to be quite different from before."

"That's right," Anlong said while picking up one of the shots. "This is a newly-made buttstock based on the master's sketch, so it can rest on the shoulder when shooting the gun in the future, instead of being caught under the arm."

"I'm afraid I can shoot more accurately this way." The people present are all people who know the goods, and they naturally understand the key when they hear it.

"It's like this," An Long nodded and continued to introduce. "The gun barrel has shrunk, and now it is only five points (about 16 millimeters), so the armor-piercing power is a little smaller, but because the length of the gun barrel has been increased to three feet six inches (about 12 meters), it can hit farther. .” But that’s not the most important thing. "See, this is a fine iron spear thorn attached to the gun barrel. From now on, when the Qing soldiers are approaching, our gunners will no longer have to retreat. We can form a spear array on the spot, but it is heavier than ordinary spears. A little, 27 and a half catties, I guess the big guy will have to spend some effort in handling it in the future."

The reason why a bayonet is used instead of a bayonet is to consider the problem of the steel mouth. This is the case. The black triangular spear bayonet that is nearly one and a half feet (about 05 meters) long is attached to the body of the four-foot-five-inch (about 15 meters) gun. It's pretty scary to look up.

"Why doesn't the thorn and the sound of the blunderbuss merge into one? The twists and turns look like a single-pronged fork." Of course, some people pay more attention to the aesthetics and are not satisfied with the shape of the whole blunderbuss. "So, it's better to just add a flexible gun head to it, and then disassemble it."

"This is for the convenience of loading ammunition." An Long said while demonstrating. "Look, the stabbing doesn't affect the firing. The sight is on the thorn handle." While speaking, An Long pointed at a target in the distance and pulled the trigger. After the gun rang, everyone around could clearly see it. The shoulder joint absorbs the recoil, after the blow, An Long handed the blunderbuss to the eager Liu Wenlai. "You can also try it. As for the single-mounted detachable gun head, the Gunnery Institute has not tried it before. As a result, the master rejected it on the spot after seeing it. The cavalry team who said it was the Qing Dynasty may not give us time to load and unload it calmly."

Hearing that it was Zheng Kezang's decision, the voices of several questioning voices suddenly fell silent, so the sentry officers, deputy sentry officers, and team leaders started to play with the new guns in front of them as if they were curious babies who had got a new toy. A very few experienced people asked: "An Long, how much has the armor-piercing power of this new gun been weakened?"

"The new blunderbuss can injure an enemy wearing a layer of sharkskin or cowhide armor within [-] steps, penetrate triple-layer leather armor within [-] steps, and penetrate the single-layer cotton armor and native armor of the Eight Banners soldiers within [-] steps. Feudal chain armor, within [-] steps it can penetrate wart armor and double cotton armor produced by the feudal clan, and it can penetrate plate armor within [-] steps."

"That's not a lot of decline."

"It didn't drop much, but I think it has increased greatly." Another interjected. "If you change to this new gun, the spearman will be the gunner, and the gunner will be the spearman. This is equivalent to doubling the strength. Isn't it enhanced?"

"The gunner is the gunner, and the gunner is the gunner." After chewing for a while, he smiled as if he had just woken up from a dream. "That's true"
