Siresma killed the Chinese ship, and when he saw that the pirate ships were scattered and fled, and the victory of the army was clear, he didn't bother to move, so he drove the boat and went to the half-sunken Chinese ship over there to see what was going on.

There was a former pirate on the boat, he searched with his eyes wide open, and found Liu Xiang, soaked in blood, his strange height was easy to find.

He was covered in bloody holes, and he couldn't see it!

Dying with him was the pirate military master Yu Xianke, who was also a talented person, but unfortunately he followed the wrong person!

The boat cut off their heads, brought them back to the big ship, boxed them in lime, and prepared to receive their rewards.

……

The powerful Liu Xiang bandits who crisscrossed Guangdong Province disappeared from then on, and the Ming Dynasty's captured deputy envoy Kang Chengzu, staff generals Xia Zhiben, and Zhang Yijie escaped on another big ship because of the surrender of the pirates on board, and the Southeast Fleet sent them back to Guangzhou, which was considered lucky.

But the victory cast a shadow, and the other bandit leader Li Kuiqi was not found, which greatly disappointed some southeastern officers and soldiers who wanted to earn 100,000 silver dollars, and they searched the battlefield but could not find him.

It was a crushing battle, and it was not fully investigated.

Over the next week, the Southeast Fleet searched for the escaped pirates, and the government on land worked to catch them.

In the past few days, the fleet has been patrolling everywhere, while officers and men, government officials, and people on land have been inspecting everywhere.

Most of the lonely pirates could not escape, many were caught, and some surrendered directly, but Li Kuiqi was nowhere to be found, probably to the partial division on Hailing Island.

Not only that, but his left pioneer Zhong Bin also fled and disappeared.

……

It can be regarded as eliminating the Liu Xiang bandit gang that caused a disaster, and a celebration party was held in the southeast mansion.

The soldiers who participated in the war were given a bonus, medals and promotions for their performance, but the rewards were only mediocre, after all, the war was not fierce, unlike the great battle with the Dutch.

The winner of the jackpot was Nanhai No. 2, who killed Liu Xiang with a cannon, and the officers and men of the entire battleship shared 30,000 silver dollars, which made them smile brightly!

The two cruisers of Kaohsiung No. 42 and Kaohsiung No. 37 dared to face Liu Xiang's bandit brigade, and there was not much loss, but they were wise and courageous, and Yan Dashao was deeply praised, so both ships won the title of "guards"!

The captains of the two ships, Zhang Shili and Zhao Tianjing, were even more commended, especially when Zhao Tianjing said the words "fight when the enemy encounters", Yan Dashao immediately made him a model!

Everyone in the country knows what it is to be set up as a model, meritorious service, lecture tours, and after returning to the unit, they are promoted to become wealthy, and they spend a lot of money!

"When we encounter the enemy, we must fight, we just want this kind of courage, and then we have courage and resourcefulness to strive for victory!" Yan Changwu taught.

Since then, the Southeast Fleet has regarded these four words as a creed, and it will fight when it encounters the enemy!

As for Xiong Wencan of Liangguang is famous, pirates have been wreaking havoc in the Guangdong region, he was completely purged soon after he arrived, although Hong Yunsteam's life was ruined, but officialdom has always been as long as he succeeds, the previous sins are forgiven, so he scattered the official rank and restored, and was also promoted to the second grade of the virtue doctor.

His exploits include killing the bandit leaders Liu Xiang and Yu Xianke;

More than 300 large and small warships were destroyed, more than 3,000 people were captured, and more than 2,000 people were killed.

In the recital, it is natural that the governor has the first merit, and they coordinate and command; and then there is the Guangdong sailor, who has made meritorious contributions to killing sea bandits; The third is the magistrate, who actively cooperated with the suppression, and the credit was not small.

Everyone has a share, and the official articles are full of flowers, and everyone is happy.

And Yan Dashao squeezed a corner in the folds in a low-key manner, only saying that he had meritorious service in helping to suppress it, and with a little credit, he was excellent in the assessment of the Ministry that year.

This is the result of the negotiation between Governor Xiong and Yan Changwu, Yan Changwu just needs to make a fortune in a muffled voice, otherwise if you are so good, will you be transferred to fight the old wild boar skin?

……

Liu Xiang is gone, the Southeast Fleet is still stationed at the mouth of the Pearl River, and the sea in Guangdong Province is low, and the intensity is not as hot as before.

Liu Xiang's division to Hailing Island disappeared on his own, and the government said that there was no trace of the bandits, and the other bandit leader, Li Kuiqi, was difficult to find, and the government went to the sea to catch documents and arrest him.

Xiong Wencan imitated the system of the southeast government, vigorously promoted the economy of the two provinces, and developed rice, raw silk, textiles, tea, sugarcane, ironware, porcelain, tobacco, Haihe aquatic products, salt production, etc., and the Guangdong region gradually became rich.

But he was clever enough not to say anything, and rarely mentioned the compromises of the imperial court, and at the same time the tax revenue did not increase much.

His focus is on foreign trade, which is actually smuggling!

In the past, due to the sea disaster and the government's difficulties, Guangdong's foreign trade has always been tepid.

Now the southeast government is escorting, Xiong Wencan has given the green light, and Guangdong's economy has only plugged in the wings of flying, following Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, another rising star in the Ming region.

A large amount of foreign silver entered Guangdong, and all classes were able to share the profits, because they could get money (the previous governor couldn't do his ability, even if they wanted to smuggle, the pirates would not agree), the governor of Liangguang was originally high and powerful, and the imperial court would not let anyone stay in office for a long time, but there were too many people who spoke for Xiong Wencan, and Chongzhen couldn't replace him, so that Lao Xiong had been the governor of Guangdong and did not move.

……

The more developed Guangdong's economy, the greater the help to the southeast province, after all, many materials in Guangdong have flowed into the southeast province, such as tobacco and sugarcane raw materials, which are made into finished products in the southeast province and exported to foreign countries.

Since the Southeast Fleet had taken control of the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong provinces, it declared that it would not allow the export of new tobacco and sugarcane (Yan Dashao cleverly did not touch the traditional export products of raw silk, porcelain and tea), tobacco to Taiwan to make cigarettes, and jaggery made from sugarcane to be transported to Taiwan to become snow-white sugar and produce rum (both of which are considered high-tech, and the Southeast Province used the army to protect its production secrets), so as to obtain high profits.

He is now presiding over the opening ceremony of a reservoir area in Tainan, and he is mainly in charge of the military, and his political affairs are mostly entrusted to Chen Xinji, but he must come to the opening of this reservoir area to show his attention.

Pull down a piece of red silk on the plaque, and the words "The First Grain Reserve of Southeast Prefecture" written on it are displayed in front of everyone.

People clapped their hands, firecrackers lit up, and everyone was overjoyed.

Centennial plan, food first!

The reservoir area is very huge, the length and width are one kilometer, there are 388 circular warehouses, the big cellar can store more than 10,000 stones, the small cellar can store thousands of stones, the cement building, sturdy and durable, is conducive to storage, waterproof, rainproof, insect and rat proof, the total grain storage in the reservoir area has reached an astonishing five million stones.

The design inside is reasonable, and the conditions for storage, fire prevention, transportation and other conditions are readily available, which can well preserve the grain.

There, rails were creatively used to transport grain to the warehouses, which led to the outside of the reservoir area and connected to the wharves, on which horse-drawn grain carriages were run, and people could easily transport the unloaded grain to the main warehouses, and the use of board track technology allowed the carriages to change direction.

The daily work of the reserve is to keep the grain, the reservoir area is located in the hills, the situation is dangerous, the soil layer is hard, dry, and there is the convenience of sea and water transportation. Easy to transport grain.

There is food in your hands, and you don't panic in your heart!

It mainly reserves rice, as well as some wheat, flour, oilseeds, and even buys sweet potatoes and jerky, which are special --- in the southeast province.

In addition to purchasing local grain, it also purchased a large number of traditional rice regions or countries such as Guangdong, Champong, Cochin, Siam, and Waguo, and the lack of merchant ships, so the Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, and British all came to help transport it, and carried forward the spirit of international mutual assistance! (Even the southeast province here fought with the Dutch, the Dutch over there bought rice and shipped it to Tainan, the southeast province checked the quality and put it into the warehouse, and gave the money happily, welcome to come again!) ）

By the end of the year, the reservoir area was full.

As the chief executive Chen Xinji walked in the cement of the reservoir area breathed a long sigh of relief, in his opinion, grain storage, the most important foundation for a perfect regime laid, the southeast government finally caught up!

In the past, the southeast government purchased grain and stored it, and built some small warehouses, and the storage and transportation conditions were poor.

In his opinion, the army of the southeast province is strong, there is no shortage of silver, and there is a lot of grain production, if there is a shortage of food and the people are chaotic, it is really ridiculous!

With the grain storage, Chen Xinji's heart has landed, and he has already started to build another grain depot 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 reserve in Taipei, which was located in Taipei, was completed, and it was also a storage capacity of 5 million stones

Many people went to Yan Changwu's back to accuse Chen Xinji, saying that he wasted public money, even collected kickbacks, and the price of grain was ridiculously high, and he must be severely punished, but Yan ignored all of them.

……

At the end of the summer of 1631 (the fourth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty), a huge typhoon hit Taiwan head-on, and a large area of rice in Taiwan was lodging, and the grain harvest became a foregone conclusion.

In the summer and autumn of that year, several typhoons also hit Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The mood of the high-level, military and civilian people in the southeast province is calm......
