- Ding Yunyi had no idea what was happening in the capital. It seemed that building Taiwan into an impregnable place had just begun.
Now all his focus is on Taiwan.
Marco did not live up to Ding Yunyi's expectations. He soon brought a response from Hurtado de Cocuera, the new governor of Ganxi in Luzon: Cocuera was willing to work with the Chinese to first try to follow Ding Yunyi's proposal. conditions to conduct trade, but the prerequisite is that Taiwan must first send more than two ships of goods to show their capabilities. If they can succeed, then they will gain exclusive trading rights to Luzon.
The cargo documents issued by the Governor of Dry Wax Silk included raw silk, silk, tea and other Chinese products that Thai Westerners like most.
The opportunity has been placed in front of Ding Yunyi.
There is countless wealth in the vast sea. Whoever owns the sea owns the whole world. This is actually not an exaggeration at all.
But the first thing that must be solved, and the most difficult thing to do, is how to break through Zheng Zhilong¡¯s blockade and send two ships of goods to Luzon!
In Fujian, Xie Xuan and Sun Xiyu have already started taking action. They each paid Zheng Zhilong a protection fee of 3,000 taels, got the Zheng family's flag, and the first batch of goods is ready to go to sea.
This is the first step to break the Zheng family's blockade, and it has gone very smoothly. It was completed without Zheng Zhilong being prepared.
"Have all the goods needed by the dry silk people been prepared?" Ding Yunyi summoned his men and asked expressionlessly.
"My lord, everything is ready. It is not difficult to purchase from Fujian and ship it to Taiwan. The key is how to ship it out."
Ding Yunyi sneered: "We have carefully discussed before, forcibly escorting, and creating a gap in the Zheng family's blockade. The first transportation is crucial, and I have decided that I will escort it myself!"
This had been decided before, and the generals were not surprised. Ding Yunyi continued to give instructions: Challenger, "Follower," "Penghu," and other eight ships will go to sea with me. All ships must be fully armed. Bring rockets and be ready for battle. Zhang Xianxuan was in command of the navy accompanying the ship, and Bolaiman and Daming Ocean Company were the second fleet following behind. Once the war started, reinforcements would be sent immediately. Cai Jiuzhou, Ye Dahai and others stayed in Taiwan to prevent unexpected events. "
"I take my orders!"
"Okay, let's go get ready." Ding Yunyi waved his hand.
As soon as the generals retired, Ding Yunyi called Qin Yun over: "How is the shipyard going?" "The basic structure of the shipyard in Taiwan has been set up, and the Cai family in Quanzhou is trying every means to relocate." Qin Yun immediately He replied: "It's just that the Zheng family is monitoring them all the time. Relocation is very difficult, so we can only move it bit by bit and quietly. I think it will take at least three months to complete the move."
Ding Yunyi nodded: "This matter needs to be handled as soon as possible. It will be of great benefit to me if the shipyard is completed one day earlier. There is another thing that I discussed with you some time ago. I want to set up an artillery bureau." Qin Yun The interface said: "I have carefully calculated this matter. Even if we hire Hongyi technicians, purchase materials, and recruit labor, even if we build a smaller scale, we can't do it without tens of thousands of taels of silver. Hongyi technician said again, even if After the artillery is manufactured, it must be tested, and any unqualified ones must be recast. All in all, it is another expense. One hundred thousand taels of silver must be prepared, otherwise it will be unsustainable. "
"There is more money, and our money is also tight." Ding Yunyi frowned: "But I still said the same thing, no matter how tight it is, no matter how difficult it is, we have to do it. This time I will personally escort the ship to Luzon. Once the maritime merchants The road has been opened, and the money you earn can be used in artillery rounds first."
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something: "Looking at the beginning of next spring, the harvest will fail again. How about the money I asked you to prepare?" "My third brother, you can't do this." Qin Yun complained bitterly: "You need money for this, you need money for that, you just need to ask, but where will I go to find you so much money in a short while? I don't have much around. I just need to repair the Golden Eagle City and follow your instructions." I haven¡¯t thought of a solution for this money gap yet. Haishang Haishang, the Zheng family is currently blocked, we haven¡¯t made any money yet, and the budget is already full. "
"I know you have difficulties." Ding Yunyi sighed longly: "Your strengths are not in the financial field, but Xie Xuan and Sun Xiyu are secretly doing maritime business for me, and they can't get out of it for a while. You can take care of it first, and I will find someone to replace you when the situation is reversed. But one thing is, no matter how difficult it is for you, you have to do everything I ask you to do."
"I know, third brother." Qin Yun was helpless.
?????????? In fact, it¡¯s difficult for me, and even more difficult for my third brother. Penghu, TaiwanThe third brother has to take care of everything. There is no other way, just grit your teeth and get through it.
It was bustling outside and there seemed to be some movement. Ding Yunyi asked Qin Yun to go do something first and walked out.
They were recruiting new soldiers there, and Chen Dong was so busy that he was sweating profusely.
The scene was a bit unexpected. They say that no one can nail the iron, and no good man can be a soldier. However, the young men who came to apply for the army lined up in long lines, which was even more spectacular than when they were in Penghu.
Thinking about it, it's not that Ding Yunyi's prestige in Taiwan is high, but that since Hongyi arrived, he worked hard to record records. Most people are in poverty. There are very few people like Guo Huaiyi, otherwise they would not be able to do it. As soon as Hui Guohuai raised his arms, so many people joined the uprising team.
In addition, Taiwan¡¯s harvest has been poor every year in the past two years, which has made the people¡¯s livelihood even more difficult. It might not be a good choice to become a soldier. At least you can always have a full stomach.
With this idea, it¡¯s not surprising that so many people came.
Ding Yunyi felt a little uneasy, so he called Chen Dong aside and whispered: "Don't recruit too many people, money is needed everywhere now, and there are suddenly so many soldiers serving as food, we can't handle it. "I know, I have carefully selected them." Chen Dong didn't know much about silver, but he was very good at selecting soldiers: "When we were in Penghu, there were only so many people, and the range of choices was limited. It's not a big deal here." It¡¯s the same. I have selected great young men who are over 18 years old and under 25 years old. After training for a year and a half, everyone can be put to great use.¡±
Ding Yunyi nodded with satisfaction. Now that the troop source problem has been solved, the plan that he has been considering for a long time and has already begun to implement in Penghu can be carried out.
??The Tiger Guards are currently mainly composed of naval forces, and there are also infantry, but to a greater extent they are a mixture of water and land, and they can go wherever they need to go. Compared with the functions of a single military unit, the combat effectiveness will always be reduced.
Now, it is possible to establish a regular navy and army. The battles in the future will not always take place at sea.
"Have you recruited productive people?" Ding Yunyi asked while thinking about it.
"In one day, more than 300 people were carefully selected, and more than 100 barely qualified people were added to the Daming Ocean Company.,,
"Okay, you are busy here, I will go to see the recruits." Ding Yunyi nodded and walked towards the place where the recruits were gathered.
Once we got there, we saw nothing but chaos.
Those newly recruited soldiers don¡¯t know the rules of the military camp. They sit, stand and fight, lie down, make loud noises, chat and brag, and become a mess.
Wang Wei, who was responsible for temporarily leading the new recruits, was actually smiling and chatting with his companions, paying no attention to the scene in front of him.
"Wang Wei."
"who?"
Wang Wei turned around and saw that it was Ding Yunyi. He was so frightened that he ran over: "Ya Ren." "What kind of soldiers are you bringing?" Ding Yunyi nodded at the new soldiers with a stern face.
"Speak to me, adults!" Wang Wei quickly straightened up: "They just came here and don't understand the rules. I thought I would wait for a while and wait for them to adapt first, then I can train them properly!" "Fart, that's nonsense. !" Ding Yunyi was furious, pointing at Wang Wei and scolding: "From the first day of entering the military camp, everyone should abide by the military camp rules! How long are you going to wait? When? I think you, the general, have no hope in this life."
"Yes, I understand!" When Liu mentioned what Wang Wei cared about the most, he quickly ran back a few steps and shouted to the group of recruits: "Stand up, everyone, stand up for me!"
The recruits stood up lazily, and under Wang Wei's order, they lazily lined up.
Ding Yunyi shook his head repeatedly, where are the soldiers here? They are simply a ragtag group of people. Compared with the soldiers recruited from Penghu before, they are completely different.
But if you think about it more carefully, you can¡¯t blame Wang Wei and these young people entirely.
When I was in Penghu, I had a high prestige and all the people in Penghu obeyed me. But in Taiwan, I was far behind. They were ordinary people before, but now they have become soldiers and bread earners. How can they adapt to it all of a sudden?
????????????????? Wang Wei himself was born as a prisoner, and he relied on his fierceness to fight. It was really difficult for him to suddenly lead a group of new soldiers.
I thought about it for a long time. The brothers all had their own responsibilities and were very busy. No one could tell the difference. It would be really difficult to find someone to take over Wang Wei's position now.
Suddenly, my eyes lit up, and I suddenly remembered two people: Major Swede and Second Lieutenant Mansoura.
Both of these people are seriousHe was an officer, especially Major Swede, who led the troops very strictly. On the night of the attack on the city of Relanja, he was unselfish and no one, no matter how familiar he was, could get close to his post.
If you can get these two Hongyi officers to help you train new recruits, that might be a solution.
When he thought of this, he no longer hesitated and hurriedly said to Duan San'er beside him: "Go, you go and find Major Swede and Second Lieutenant Mansoura. Tell them that I have a new mission for them and ask them to help lead the troops." train!"
