After the court staff, Jinyiwei and Liu Yan went to report to Zhu Youlang.

Zhu Youlang praised Liu Yan a few words and encouraged him to continue to work hard.

In recent times, the Ming army has been winning battles and covering up a lot of contradictions.

But in fact, there are still many internal contradictions.

For example, the contradiction between civil officials and military generals, the contradiction between civilian officials and Jinyiwei...

It seems that it is all related to the civilian service.

The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are indeed a group that can be tossed very well.

As the emperor, Zhu Youlang naturally couldn't come by them. Otherwise, there is a mountain of gold and silver, and they have to toss it clean.

Jin Yiwei must be reused, no matter how many people oppose it, it will not change.

If the cane doesn't work, there will be two, three.

Zhu Youlang made up this ruthless and wicked man.

...

...

Shuangyu Port.

Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan led the sailors from Zhoushan Island, and they sighed when they saw the sight in front of them.

The once prosperous Shuangyu Port is now in dilapidation.

The docks were deserted, and many of the brick houses had collapsed.

There are wild grasses everywhere, and occasionally you can see some white bones.

After the ship docked, Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan jumped off the deck one after another.

"Da Mu, it's not easy to restore this Shuangyu Port to its former glory!"

Zhang Huangyan looked around, and saw that there were broken walls and ruins everywhere, and said with emotion.

Zheng Chenggong bowed slightly.

This was actually a bit unexpected for him.

He thought that although Shuangyu had been abandoned, the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse.

With a little bit of positioning, most of the things can still be used directly.

It won't be long before Shuangyu returns to its heyday!

The reality, however, is quite different.

With the current level of dilapidation of Shuangyu Port, it is impossible to get on the right track in less than a year and a half.

"Take your time. Shuangyu has a special location, as long as you are careful, you can still develop. ”

After a pause, Zheng Chenggong smiled and said, "Brother Cangshui, let's go casually?" ”

"That's what I mean!"

Zhang Huangyan said with a smile.

The topography of Shuangyu is more complex.

In general, the terrain is relatively flat in the south and steeper in the north.

Zhang Huangyan and Zheng Chenggong traveled from south to north, and saw many abandoned warehouses along the way, which should have been used to store supplies on the island.

At that time, the forces of Shuangyu were complicated, and there were mainly three forces: Francis, Li Guangtou, and Wang Zhi.

The three forces are very harmonious on the surface, but in fact they are secretly intriguing.

Each of them has its own warehouse to stock up on some important supplies.

Although Shuangyu is an important cargo distribution and transit center, it is only a small island in the final analysis. The supplies on the island themselves are limited and need to be imported from outside.

Once they are fired, the materials from the outside cannot be imported and can only rely on stocks.

Whoever has more stuff in their warehouse is more likely to have the last laugh.

It's just that the three of them have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, but in the end they were served by the officials and the army.

The contents of the warehouse were all taken over by the officers and soldiers, and only the empty houses remained.

Now it seems to be quite a bit vicissitudes.

"I've heard that there's a strong fortress at the northern foot of the island, let's go and see it."

Zheng Chenggong has always been interested in Shuangyu, and he heard that the Frankians had built a fortress at the northern foot of the island, which was very strong. The officers and soldiers fought for a long time but did not defeat it, and finally attacked it by copying a small road.

Zheng Chenggong heard that the fortress was more conducive to the defense of the garrison than ordinary fortresses, and wanted to see it with his own eyes.

Zhang Huangyan does not have such a strong desire, as a civil official, handling internal affairs is his area of expertise, and how to develop Shuangyu is his primary consideration. But there is nothing to lose by following Zheng Chenggong to take a look.

However, it was said that the group had traveled for a long time to come to the northern foot of Shuangyu.

Zheng Chenggong was shocked when he raised his eyes and saw the majestic fortress.

He had only seen the paintings made by the Tessie people before, but the real thing was much more majestic than the painting.

The fortress is built according to the mountain, and the passage up the mountain is stuck in it.

The gate at the entrance of the fortress has now been demolished, and Zheng Chenggong and his party just walked in quickly.

"It's so peculiar!"

After being in it, Zheng Chenggong was able to get a closer look at the inner structure of the fortress.

Some places are very cleverly designed, and the defenders stand in that position and release their guns, he can hit the besiegers, but the besiegers can't hit him.

This is absolutely not seen in the city of Daming.

"Brother Cangshui, if we build a few more similar fortresses on the island, it will be impregnable!"

The more Zheng Chenggong looked at it, the more he was happy, and he couldn't wait to immediately mobilize manpower to break ground and start work.

"Hmm, I'm afraid it costs a lot of money to build this kind of fortress, right?"

Zhang Huangyan instinctively cared about the cost of the fortress.

The stone on the island is ready-made, but other auxiliary materials have to be bought.

It's all going to cost money!

Zheng Chenggong saw Zhang Huangyan looking like a housekeeper with buckles and ropes, and he only felt funny in his heart.

"Brother Cangshui, didn't we just grab 500,000 taels of silver from Lang Tingzuo? Is that still the money? ”

Zhang Huangyan smiled bitterly: "It's always good to save some flowers." ”

"Haha, it must be."

The two talked and laughed a few words, and continued to walk inside.

It has been uninhabited for a long time, and it is covered with cobwebs.

However, Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan were obviously in a good mood, and they walked in with laughter.

"Your Highness, caught a guy in the backyard, sneaky!"

Seeing what the soldiers said, Zheng Chenggong frowned and said, "Bring him to see me!" ”

Soon, a young man who was tied up with five flowers was twisted in front of Zheng Chenggong.

The soldier kicked him in the crook of the knee, and he immediately fell to his knees in pain.

"Oops."

"Who and why are you here?"

The soldier asked sharply.

"The villain is a local fisherman named Wang Ershui..."

The young man said aggrievedly.

"Fishermen?"

Zheng Chenggong looked at the young man carefully when he heard this.

The tattered clothes and dark skin are very much in line with the image of fishermen.

It's just that Shuangyu has been abandoned for many years, why did he come here?

"What are you doing in Shuangyu?"

This time, it was Zheng Chenggong who asked the question himself.

"The little ones are fishing in this generation. It's true that Shuangyu is abandoned, but it doesn't affect our fishing. ”

Wang Ershui said with a sad face.

Zheng Chenggong pondered carefully, and this sentence seemed to have some truth.

But you still have to be cautious in everything, if this person is a spy of the Eastern Prisoner, then the consequences are unimaginable.

The movements and intentions of the Ming army will be known to all!

"Is there anyone else fishing here besides you?"

"In addition to the small ones, there are dozens of families who fish here for a living, and we have a small village. If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself. ”

There's even a fishing village on this island!

Zheng Chenggong was surprised.

That said, the island has always been inhabited!

"Take me to see!"

Zheng Chenggong said in a deep voice.
