Chapter 245: Real Dingding
Siresma killed the Chinese military ship. Seeing that the pirate ship was scattered and fleeing, the situation of the army's victory was clear. He didn't bother to move. He drove a small boat and went to see the half-sinking Chinese military ship over there. What happened.
There was a former pirate on the boat. He opened his eyes and searched and found Liu Xiang. Soaked in blood, his bizarre height was easy to spot.
He was covered with blood holes, he couldn't catch his eyes!
It was Yu Xianke, a pirate army strategist, who died with him. He was also a talented person, but it was a pity that he followed the wrong person!
The small boat cut off their heads, brought them back to the big ship, packed them in lime boxes, and prepared to receive the reward.
……
The powerful Liu Xiang bandit gang that crossed Guangdong Province has since disappeared. Daming's captured deputy envoy Kang Chengzu, the participating general Xia Zhiben, and Zhang Yijie were on another big ship. The pirates on the ship surrendered and escaped. The Southeast Fleet I was lucky to send them back to Guangzhou.
But the victory cast a shadow. Another bandit leader, Li Kuiqi, was not found. Some Southeast Army officers and soldiers who wanted to earn one hundred thousand silver dollars were disappointed. They searched the battlefield but couldn't find him.
fought into a rout battle, and it didn't get all the results.
In the next week, the Southeast Fleet searched for the escaped pirates and mobilized the power of the land government to try to capture the pirates.
For the past few days, the fleet has been patrolling everywhere, while on the land, officers and soldiers, government officials, and people have inspected everywhere.
Most of the lonely pirates could not escape, many were caught, and some surrendered directly, but Li Kuiqi was nowhere to be seen, and it was possible that he was in the local teacher on Hailing Island.
Not only that, his left pioneer Zhong Bin also escaped and disappeared.
……
can also be regarded as annihilating the Liu Xiang bandit who caused a misfortune, and the Southeast Mansion held a celebration party.
The soldiers who participated in the war received a bonus, medals and promotion according to their performance, but the rewards were only average. After all, the war was not fierce, and it was different from the battle with the Dutch.
The one who won the big prize was Nanhai II. Liu Xiang was killed by a cannon. The officers and soldiers of the warship shared 30,000 silver dollars, which made them smile so brightly!
The two cruise ships Kaohsiung No. 42 and Kaohsiung No. 37 dared to face the Liu Xiang bandit brigade without much loss. They were wise and courageous. Yan Dashao was deeply praised, so both ships were awarded. The title of Guards!
The two ship captains Zhang Shili and Zhao Tianjing were even more commended, especially when Zhao Tianjing uttered the words "the enemy must fight", and Master Yan immediately made him a model!
People in the country know what it is to be set as a model, meritorious deeds, lecture tours, and after returning to the unit, they will be promoted and made fortune.
"When the enemy is met, we must fight. We want this kind of courage, no matter how courageous we are, we will strive for victory!" Yan Changwu taught.
Since then, the Southeast Fleet regards these four words as its creed, and it must fight against the enemy!
As for Xiong Wencan of Guangdong and Guangxi, his fame has been well-known. Pirates have been ravaging the Guangdong and Haiyan areas. He was thoroughly wiped out shortly after he took office. Although Hong Yunzheng's life was ruined, the officialdom has always been that as long as he succeeds, he is forgiven for all his sins. The official rank replied, and he was promoted to a doctor with good morals of the second grade.
The merits include killing the bandit leaders Liu Xiang and Yu Xianke;
destroyed more than 300 large and small warships (with water), captured more than 3,000 people, and killed more than 2,000 people.
In the memorials of the previous performance, it was natural that the governor talked about the first skill, and they coordinated the command. Then there was the Guangdong navy, who was good at killing sea bandits; and the third was the local officials, who actively cooperated to help the suppression, and the credit was not small.
Everyone has a part, and the official articles are full of flowers, and everyone is happy.
And the young master Yan squeezed a corner in the memorial in a low-key manner. He only said that he had done a good job in helping suppress him. With a little credit, the department had been evaluated as excellent.
This is the result of the negotiation between Governor Xiong and Yan Changwu. Yan Changwu only needs to make a fortune in a muffled voice. Otherwise, if you are so good, can you be sent to beat the old wild boar skin?
……
As soon as Liu Xiang went, the Southeast Fleet was still stationed at the Pearl River Estuary. The marine disaster in Guangdong Province was low, and the intensity was not as hot as before.
Liu Xiangpian, who was heading to Hailing Island, disappeared on his own. The government said that no bandit was found, while another bandit leader, Li Kuiqi, was hard to find, and the government went to the sea to arrest him.
Xiong Wencan imitated the southeast government system, vigorously promoted the economy of Guangdong and Guangxi, developed rice, raw silk, textiles, tea, sugar cane, ironware, porcelain, tobacco, Haihe aquatic products, salt, etc., and Guangdong became richer.
But he was wise to say nothing. The memorial to the court was rarely mentioned, and the tax increase was not large.
His point of force lies in foreign trade, which is actually smuggling!
Because of sea disasters and government embarrassment, Guangdong's foreign trade has always been tepid.
Now that the Southeastern government is escorting, Xiong Wencan gave the green light, and Guangdong's economy has now been plugged into the wings of flying. After Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is another rising star in the Daming area.
A large amount of foreign silver entered Guangdong, and all classes were able to share their profits. Because it was able to come in money (the former governor could not do his ability, even if they wanted to smuggle, the bandits would not agree to it), the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi was originally highly powerful, and the imperial court No one will be allowed to stay in office for a long time, but there are too many people who speak for Xiong Wencan, and Chongzhen can't replace him, so that Lao Xiong has been working as the governor of Guangdong without moving.
……
Moreover, Yan Changwu doesn’t care about the old bear stealing his ideas. The more developed Guangdong’s economy, the greater the benefit to the Southeastern Province. After all, many materials in Guangdong have flowed into the Southeastern Province. For example, tobacco and sugarcane raw materials are made into finished products in the Southeastern Province. , Export to foreign countries.
Since the Southeast Fleet has controlled the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong, it has declared that the export of emerging tobacco and sugarcane (the traditional export products such as raw silk, porcelain and tea) is not allowed, and the tobacco is transported to Taiwan to make cigarettes and sugarcane is made. The raw sugar from Taiwan was transported to Taiwan as snow-white sugar, and rum was produced (both of which are considered high-tech, and the southeast government uses the army to protect its production secrets), so as to obtain high profits.
He is currently presiding over the opening ceremony in a reservoir area in Tainan. He is mainly in charge of the military, and the political affairs are mostly delegated to Chen Zhongji. However, he must come to this reservoir area to show his importance.
Pulled down a piece of red silk on the plaque, and the words "The First Grain Reserve of Southeast Mansion" written on it were displayed in front of everyone.
People clapped their hands one after another, the firecrackers were on fire, and everyone was happy.
A hundred-year plan, food first!
The storage area is very large, with a length and width of one kilometer. There are a total of 388 circular warehouses. The large cellar can store grains of more than 10,000 shi, and the small cellar can store grains of thousands of shi. Rain and insects and rodents are prevented, and the total grain storage in the reservoir area has reached an astonishing 5 million shi.
The inside design is reasonable, and the storage, fire protection, transportation and other conditions are all available, and the food can be well preserved.
There, railroad tracks were creatively used to transport grain to the warehouse. The railroad tracks lead to places outside the reservoir area and connect to the dock. Horse-drawn grain carriages run on the railroad tracks. People can easily transport the unloaded grain to the main warehouse. Warehouse cellar, and use the board track technology, you can change the direction of the carriage.
The daily work of the storage depot is to store grain. The storage area is located in a hilly area, the situation is difficult, the soil is hard, dry, and it is easy to transport by sea and water. Easy to transport food.
I have grain in my hand, don’t panic in my heart!
mainly reserves rice, but also some wheat, flour, oil crops, and even purchased the characteristics of the southeast province---sweet potatoes and jerky.
In addition to the purchase of local grains, large quantities of rice were also purchased from traditional rice regions or countries such as Guangdong, Champa, Cochin, Siam, and Wa. There was a shortage of merchant ships. As a result, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, and British all came to help transport ~www.wuxiaspot .com~ Carry forward the spirit of international mutual assistance! (Even here, the Southeast Mansion fought with the Dutch, and the Dutch people there bought the rice and transported it to Tainan. After the Southeast Mansion checked the quality, it was put into the warehouse. Give me money and welcome again!)
By the end of the year, the storage area was full.
As the CEO, Chen Zhongji walked in the cement reservoir area with a long sigh of relief. In his opinion, the storage of grain has laid the most important foundation for a perfect government, and the Southeast Government has finally caught up!
In the past, the Southeast Government purchased grain and also stored it. Some small warehouses were built. The storage and transportation conditions were poor. Chen Zhongji was always disturbed and strongly urged the establishment of a stable grain storage mechanism.
In his opinion, the Southeast Mansion has a strong army, no shortage of silver, and a large amount of food. If there is a shortage of food and civil chaos is caused, it is really ridiculous!
As the grain was put into the warehouse, Chen Zhongji's heart fell to the ground. He has already started to build another grain warehouse in Taipei. Anyway, there is money, isn't it?
Due to the characteristics of infrastructure madness, at the beginning of the second year, the second grain storage depot of Southeast Prefecture in Taipei was completed. It also had a storage capacity of 5 million shi. Chen Zhongji immediately used funds to purchase private stocks from various places at a high price. He personally supervised this. Matter, absolutely unambiguous
Many people went to Yan Changwu's back to sue Chen Zhongji for a black case, saying that he wasted public money and even charged rebates. The price of the food received was so high that he had to be punished severely, and Yan ignored him.
……
is the year, that is, in the late summer of 1631 (the fourth year of Chongzhen, Ming Dynasty), a huge typhoon hit Taiwan head-on, Taiwan’s rice fell in a large area, and a large grain harvest became a foregone conclusion.
In the summer and autumn of that year, several typhoons also struck Guangdong, Fujian, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. The provinces were all in a state of urgency.
The mood of the senior officials, the army and the people of the Southeast government is calm...
