Chapter 111: The Land-Sea Dispute of Zhang Xiaohu's Family (II

It seems that if you don't ask for a ticket, you won't have anything! 7,000 words to give, continue to click to support the evaluation of recommended collections, as well as likes and rewards.

Zhang Xiaohu got off the donkey and sent several law enforcement teams, one team for every 20 people. Every half an hour I patrol the town, and when I see those who make trouble, who throw yellow and white things everywhere, they are unceremonious, and they go up to the wharf to do the hardest and most tiring work in the water, and they are only paid for their meals.

As a result, the streets are much quieter and the progress of the project is much faster. However, there are also some people who don't know if they can't turn their brains, or if they think they are smart, and when they see that as long as they disobey the law enforcement team with a big order, they will be caught working on the dock, and they eat three meals a day, and they don't dare to provoke others, but some natives will consciously pee and in front of the law enforcement team. The young man of the law enforcement team couldn't laugh or cry.

Such a scene, in the eyes of people like Zhang Xiaoqi and Da Gou Ergou, who are used to living in Hejing, is naturally noisy and chaotic.

"Think it's messy here? That's right, too! I think it's a mess here, too! Zhang Xiaohu looked at the crowded crowd in the market. Oh, for specific information, please refer to the ticket hall of the Spring Festival and the college student employment fair.

"Forget it! Then let's go and bother somebody, his place is very clean! ”

The vehicle crossed Jinji Ridge, passed through a Hakka village, and traveled a short distance to the north, and another town appeared in front of Zhang Xiaohu and others. Ding Zhuang, who was guarding at the entrance of the town, saw a team of chariots and horses coming from afar, and got out of the way early to let the chariots and horses enter the town.

The convoy passed straight through the town, and the big dog looked out of the car window, and the words "Yanglan Town" could be faintly seen on the stone wall of the town.

"Sixth uncle, why haven't we been here yet? Just have a meal, just now we have passed the legendary ends of the earth! ”

"It's not far ahead, it's here!" Zhang Xiaohu was concise and to the point when answering Ergou's question.

"This is a breeding farm set up by Zheng Quanfang's gang to breed seeds for all parts of Ha Jing, for the sake of safety, I was ordered to send a sentry here, that is, a guard, and a labor force, according to the words of the adults, this is called grabbing a hoe with one hand and a gun with the other! It's clean, you have a great view, and most importantly, there's a lot to eat! ”

Zhang Xiaohu winked at his two nephews and reached out to hug them from the car.

Zhang Xiaohu and other brothers and nephews came to the breeding farm for the purpose of disgusting the chaos in the market, but they didn't want to, at the gate of the breeding farm, there was chaos!

Scrambled clams with eggs, roasted pork ribs with lychee, and chunks of pork mixed with sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and corn are filled to the brim. There were also seven or eight dishes, either from the sea or from the mountains, and oh, and a plate of roasted boat maggots in sauce. More than a dozen dishes set up a long table of long-grown huanghuali that looked a little cramped.

Pick up a piece of pork ribs and put it in the bowl of the second dog, "Eat!" Zhang Xiaohu looked at his little nephew very fondly.

Zhong Dashu, the medical officer sitting on the side, his face sank like water, "Lord Commander!" I think your handling is very inappropriate! ”

At the gate of the breeding farm, Zhang Xiaohu called the captain who was on duty at the gate and asked, "What are these natives arguing about here?" I don't understand it, it's just a chicken and a duck! ”

That captain was one of the pirates who returned to Li Shouhan with Zhang Xiaohu back then, and he could be regarded as his right-hand man, spreading his hands, "God knows!" It's been an afternoon, and it's noisy here! We don't understand what they say, and they don't listen to what we say! ”

"Let me try." Zhong Dashu, the silent medical officer, flashed out from behind Zhang Xiaohu.

"Hey! Doctor Zhong, you're in a good place! "The chief of the armor is happy.

As a medical officer, when Zhang Xiaohu and others first arrived in Qiongzhou, Zhong Dashu traveled all over the nearby villages in the name of practicing medicine and delivering medicine, and made good connections. Anyone in this world can be hostile, but doctors and teachers are not misunderstood. Originally, Shouhan wanted to send teachers to Yazhou together, but after thinking about it, he still forgot it, first, because the local conditions did not allow it, and secondly, his own teachers were not enough.

In the dozens of villages within a radius of more than 200 miles, almost every village in Zhong Dashu has people who have been healed by him, and he also knows a little about the dialects and local languages everywhere.

When a native saw Zhong Dashu, he was also very excited, and he screamed in his mouth, pointing to the sentry tower of the breeding farm while shouting, as if he was saying something.

Doctor Zhong was also communicating with him with a smile on his face, and both sides used words and actions that the other could understand, and the atmosphere on the scene was suddenly eased.

Taking advantage of this effort, Zhang Xiaoqi carefully looked at the breeding farm.

Looking through the sentry tower and the walled wall made of bamboo and wood, looking inside, this breeding farm is neatly divided into more than a dozen fields, planted with corn, rice, pumpkin, pepper, tomato, corn grass and many other crops, several sparkling ponds in addition to providing water for these crops, I think there are also some fish and shrimp in it.

In the direction of the back mountain, Zhang Xiaoqi vaguely saw a group of figures clearing the felled mountain forest there, clearing the remaining shrubs and dwarf trees, and preparing to plant other trees.

"I think it's the coffee that the farmer said, and the cardamom and pepper and the like, and the tear tree and the cinchona tree, are all seeds from the Spaniards of Gonzalez's class."

After looking at it for a while, Zhong Dashu also knew the situation.

"My lord, it is so, a boar in their village has run away, and a child has seen that he has come to us, and they have come to ask for it. The guards who didn't want to let them in didn't want to let them in, so they quarreled! ”

"The pig that plagued our fields is theirs?!" Before Zhang Xiaohu could speak, a group of people in the breeding farm were furious!

"Lose that horse! That brute, running into our field, stealing sweet potatoes and pumpkins, not to mention, also harmed the corn field, my share of land, could have had a harvest of several hundred catties, so it is good, it would be good to have half of it! ”

"That's it, four hooves kicking and planing, and a long mouth arching everywhere, and also ruining a lot of our seedlings!"

"When you caught it, you kicked and injured one of us!"

People vented their anger, foaming at the mouth and pointing halberds.

When those natives saw this, they also roared, although they couldn't understand what to say, but judging from their facial expressions, they also wanted to get a general meaning.

Zhang Xiaohu listened for a long time and instructed the captain to take out the pig that caused the accident.

The "perpetrator" was chained and pulled out of the breeding farm, and when the natives saw it, they cheered and moved forward.

"Cang Langlang!" Zhang Xiaohu pulled out the saber at his waist and shouted, "Stop!" ”

Seeing that the commander was like this, the soldiers on duty in front of the gate also carried their swords and guns, ready to fight.

"Doctor Zhong, tell them what I said!"

Walking in front of the pig, Zhang Xiaohu looked at it with his eyes, the pig was very fat and strong, and he thought that it was also regarded as a treasure in the village.

"This animal, breaking into the forbidden area and destroying the seedlings and crops, will die! Today's matter, I will only pursue it, not the responsibility of you, if there is a next time, this knife will not be cut here! ”

While speaking, Zhang Xiaohu's hand rose and fell, "Poof! ”

A pig's head the size of a fence, along with a ring of iron ropes around the pig's head's neck, was cut off by Qiqi!

After listening to Zhong Dashu's translation and seeing Zhang Xiaohu's majesty, the frightened natives were all like earth. Zhang Xiaohu and others came to Yazhou, but they were not as pure as a guardian angel, but they were offended by anyone. More than a dozen native stockpiles have been exterminated, and these deeds are circulating everywhere, and now they have seen the power of the knife with their own eyes, and which one dares to stay here longer? With a shout, dozens of natives immediately rushed away.

"Good knives! Good knife technique! ”

The big dog and the second dog on the side had their eyes shining and clapping their hands.

Zhang Xiaohu's knife is a batch of long knives specially made of iron steel, that is, high manganese steel, which is the most sharp and tenacious, and can be said to be the best steel in this era. That's why they were able to cut off the iron chain and the pig's head with one sword, and from this point of view, the group of natives also knew the goods.

"If there is such a thing in the future, whether it is a human or a beast, it will be killed with a knife!" Zhang Xiaohu rubbed on the pig's body, hastily wiped the blood stains on the knife, and instructed the soldiers in front of him.

"And what about this pig?" A Chang's eyes lit up, thinking that Fang Cai's knife also made his admiration for Zhang Xiaohu improve a lot.

"Carry it in, wash it and peel it clean, eat it!"

As a result, the pig became a delicacy on the table.

"Oh? Old Zhong, tell me about it! What's wrong? Zhang Xiaohu gnawed on a big bone and talked with Zhong Dashu in a vague mouth.

"Your Excellency. Students think that when dealing with the natives, they should know how to reason and move with affection, and then they should use righteousness to lure them to benefit. In this way, the gradual indoctrination ...... can be completed"

"But you forgot the most important one! Coming to power! Zhang Xiaohu was very disdainful and threw the gnawed clean bone into the wooden barrel on the side, "Which of those official slaves on our dock was taught by the way of a saint?" This table where you eat was snatched from the natives who attacked us! He patted the rubbed smooth Huanghuali case.

In a word, Zhong Dashu was speechless.

From the beginning of Zhang Xiaohu's landing with the people, in addition to dealing with the Qiongzhou Mansion, he used most of his energy to deal with all kinds of natives.

To deal with these people, Zhang Xiaohu put out the means in Luzon, "Anyone who is against me, I will send you rockets, knives and guns, and after letting you know how powerful, I will turn the people in your whole village into official slaves." and obedient to me, and they will give you all kinds of goods and buy your fruits. ”

In this way, in just a few months, more than a dozen villages have been wiped out, and more than 20 villages have quickly shaken off poverty and become well-off, setting up positive and negative examples for the natives of Yazhou and even the entire Qiongzhou Prefecture.

The group had a rather sumptuous dinner, someone gave fruit, the eldest dog and the second dog, two children, each grabbed a handful, and went to the side to eat and play. The two brothers of the Zhang family watched their two nephews under the grass hut and talked about their family life.

"Huzi, are you doing this in Qiongzhou Mansion, don't the old men in the government care?" Although he has been under the command of Shouhan for a long time, deep down, Zhang Xiaoqi still refers to the institutions and officials at all levels of the Ming Dynasty as the government.

"Officer? What's the matter? Zhang Xiaohu pursed his lips, "I have already let the lord feed him with silver, and now, when they see me, they see me just like that thing sees the master!" He pointed to a dirt dog looking for leftovers by the trash can in the corner of the courtyard.

When negotiating for defense, Shouhan threw a lot of money and grain, and first gave some money and grain to various prefectures and counties that had been harassed by Li Dan, with more than 1,000 stone and less 3,500 stone, which was used to repair the city. Then, they went to various places to buy local products in large quantities.

From the coconut shells that were discarded on the ground to the special agricultural products of Qiongzhou Prefecture, betel nut, puzzle, sand kernel, morinda officinalis, pepper, sugar cane, cardamom, and many other local products have become the objects of caravan purchase.

The news reached the ears of the lords of Qiongzhou Mansion, which made these two Jinshi from merchant families puzzled, and nothing else, they were all specialties of Qiongzhou Mansion, and they themselves also purchased a large number of them from the island to sell, but it is unknown what those coconut shells can be used for.

(I will tell you, do I process coconut shells into coconut shell charcoal, which is used to make gunpowder and sugar?) Li Shouhan was very proud in his study. )

So, the old men came to the door through various channels and asked to cooperate with Commander Zhang and work together to make a fortune! The next thing is simple, as long as the goods of the old man meet the standards of Commander Zhang Da, they will be accepted in full, and the payment for the goods is also full of real gold, or all kinds of goods in Nanzhong that can allow the old man to exchange for more gold and silver.

With the construction of Yulin Port in full swing, the old men once again found a reason to go to fight the autumn breeze. "A large number of people Ding Zhuang were recruited by the general to Yazhou, the countryside is barren, it is not easy to collect money and grain, and the Qiongzhou Mansion is afraid that it is difficult to pass the assessment. I also hope that the general will be flexible, and do not embarrass the students and colleagues. ”

A fluttering eight-line letter from Qiongzhou Mansion had to let Zhang Xiaohu sail north and walk around the island from south to north.

In the end, a solution came to everyone's delight.

"We give them 5,000 taels of silver every year, whether it is a tax package or a salary, in a word, you have to cooperate with what Lao Tzu is doing here. Otherwise, the five thousand taels of silver would be gone. In the future, there will be bandits attacking and harassing, and we should not have seen it! ”

Thousands of miles for officials only for money, why did everyone leave their hometown to come to the ends of the earth? Isn't it the white and yellow thing? Five thousand taels of silver is enough to pay the money and grain taxes of the Qiongzhou government, and there is still some surplus. As long as the amount of money and grain required above is a lot, there can be some surplus to share the profits of officials at all levels, so officials at all levels have kept their mouths shut.

"Third brother, you didn't come to Yazhou just to send me money, food, artillery, right?" When the brothers are together, there is no need for so many twists and turns, official clichΓ©s, Zhang Xiaohu directly asked Zhang Xiaoqi about the purpose of coming.

Zhang Xiaoqi opened his mouth and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, two voices on the side quarreled!

"You boat maggot! Goods soaked in water in the morning and evening! ”

"You coward, you don't dare to do it! A guy who can only run on the shore! ”

But it was the two children who were arguing about something.

Zhang Xiaoqi didn't even look at it, but his face was full of wry smiles.

"Your fourth brother has gone to hide in Qingjing. His two precious sons have made me anxious. I'm here to discuss with you about these two children. ”

Shouhan sent Zhang Xiaobiao's two precious sons to the training class of the lecture martial arts hall, and began to receive education and training in military theory and various knowledge, technology, discipline, and morality in the army from the age of twelve. However, if he had said that he would send these two young masters to the Navy Division or the Army Academy, these two little guys would not and would not dare to have an opinion, but at that time, he was negligent, and he just said that the two of you should choose the school you like.

Now, it's a hornet's nest.

"The big dog is good, it is the breed of our old Zhang family, and he wants to go to the water master school. But Ergou wanted to go to the Army Academy with all his heart. Alas! I'm so sad these days! ”

"So I came to you to discuss this time under the pretext of sending supplies, and also to let you discipline these two boys, it's too much to say!"

Zhang Xiaoqi told the "family history of suffering", occasionally shaking his head and sighing, but Zhang Xiaohu's eyes and attention were no longer on him, and past Zhang Xiaoqi, he stared at the two brothers, the big dog and the second dog.

The two children probably feel that the quarrel does not seem to solve the problem, and since they have lived in an environment dominated by force since childhood, how many of these children are good? As a result, the form of the struggle escalated rapidly.

The two of them each plucked a branch from a nearby tree and began to move. Both children grew up living in a group of pirates, and later lived in a highly military environment like Ha Jing, and they have been exposed to the art of swords and guns since childhood.

Pull open the door, raise the short stick in his hand diagonally, and put a decent starting hand, and then, the two children will use the short stick as a desperate knife, offensive, fierce, defensive, and impenetrable. There is also a lot of discipline between the exchanges.

"Stop! Stop it! Zhang Xiaoqi shouted loudly, but the two children turned a deaf ear, still scolding and scolding, and the fight was so lively. It was Zhang Xiaohu, who simply put the chair in front of the two, holding the teacup in his hand, drinking tea with taste, and the fight between the two nephews in front of him was a farce.

"Little Liuzi! You! Zhang Xiaoqi looked at his younger brother and then at the two nephews in front of him, and couldn't help but be angry and anxious, "Why don't you care?!" ”

"I care? Why should I care, wait until they're done. ”

The martial arts fight between the two children became more and more intense. Suddenly, the big dog jumped up, and the short stick in his hand smashed into the left shoulder of the second dog, and the second dog couldn't dodge, and was sturdyly pumped with a stick, and with a muffled snort, he fell to the side. However, at this moment of lightning, the short stick in his hand did not leave his hand, but struck him fiercely on the leg when the big dog jumped up in the air, unable to dodge.

Both men fell to the ground almost simultaneously.

The soldiers next to him were about to step forward to help the two of them, but Zhang Xiaohu shouted, "Don't move, let them get up by themselves!" ”

The two children struggled on the ground for a long time, one grinning and rubbing his shoulders and back, and the other limping and covering his legs.

"Let's talk about it, why do you think the other party's decision is wrong?"

Zhong Dashu, who rushed to hear the news, gave the two little guys, the big dog and the second dog, medicine for bruises, looking at the blue and purple scars on his body, he couldn't help but gasp, his brothers were so ruthless, no wonder this commander was so fierce! It turned out to be a family heirloom!

The two little guys had been frustrated by Zhang Xiaohu's conditioning, and as soon as they stood up, they were reprimanded by Zhang Xiaohu. It's not for anything else, it's just to reprimand them for not being good at learning, how can they fight for so long to create this little wound on the other party? If this was on the actual battlefield, how many times would it have been killed by the other party.

"Sixth uncle, then I'll talk first." Ergou frowned and endured the doctor's bruising and wine, while constantly smoking cold air and intermittently opening his mouth to justify.

"I want to go to the Army Academy. Because, although the sailor is good, the ship cannot go ashore, and it still depends on the land soldiers to capture the flag and conquer the city. ”

"Moreover, the sailors everywhere are the same now, no matter how good your ships and cannons are, as long as I occupy your port and dock, seal your treasury, and you have no supplies, you can only float on the water!"

"Attacking cities and villages on land, killing people in the city, but the naval cannons can't do it!"

"Not necessarily! For example, in the battle of Ayutthaya of the sixth uncle, wasn't it that the sailors blocked the Gulf of Siam, so that the Siamese ships could not go out to sea, so they surrendered? The big dog on the side was a little unconvinced.

"Moreover, the sailor can travel thousands of miles in a day, suddenly here, suddenly there, your land camp can only go step by step, and when you arrive, I have already broken through your city, and I will leave you with a mess!"

"If I were the commander of the sailors, I would block your port, intercept your cargo ships, and make your goods unable to get out, and I would be consuming against you like this, see how you can consume me? With just one fleet, I can drag or consume your country! ”

"If I am in your place where you are going to die, block your course, and immobilize your fleet, within ten days, you will obediently surrender to me."

The words of the big dog inadvertently said the tactics of the Yingyi back then, they blocked the water near the mouth of the Yangtze River and Zhenjiang, so that the southern Cao transportation was cut off, and a large number of Cao ships and sea ships carrying Cao grain could not go north, and soon, the Manchu government signed the Treaty of Nanjing.

To put it mildly, the British still have a very strong strategic vision.

The two little guys still couldn't convince anyone, so they could only set their eyes on the sixth uncle who was the most powerful in their hearts.

From the emotional point of view of his heart, Zhang Xiaohu naturally thinks that the importance of the sailor is stronger than that of the army battalion, but after more than ten years of conquest and killing, he also knows that the army and navy are good at winning and are difficult to match.

However, the importance of the army and navy was a theory that had been debated for hundreds of years, and it was also related to the national conditions, geography, and strategy of each country.

"This?"

Zhang Xiaohu Rao is self-assured and brave, and in the face of such a problem, he is also a little speechless. However, he has his way.

A Spanish gold coin is dropped on the table.

"The sailor is like a human head, and Lu Ying is a flower, which itself is just two sides of a gold coin, and without that side, it is not good-looking! What's more, now that the territory of our South and Central Army faces the sea on three sides, the two armies are naturally inseparable! ”

"It's the sixth uncle here, the same is that the two armies of the water and land must cooperate closely, the battle of Ayutthaya that you just mentioned, if it weren't for the Phoenix Battalion in the north, which diverted the attention of the King of Ayutthaya, I wouldn't dare to go so far into the enemy's territory, and the enemy's artillery is not vegetarian!"

"After you go back, you can go to whatever school you want, but remember to Lao Tzu, first, you are the lord's subordinates, and second. You are the descendants of the Zhang family, and third, you are brothers. ”

sent the two children to sleep, it was late at night, Zhang Xiaohu simply didn't plan to sleep, and Zhang Xiaoqi planned to take the boat tomorrow morning to catch up on sleep. The brothers ordered a new pot of strong tea to be made, and they were under the straw hut, smelling the pumpkin, listening to the cries of insects in the field and the sound of corn jointing, and talked about what their own brothers could say.

"Liuzi, have you heard?" Zhang Xiaoqi approached Zhang Xiaohu, lowered his voice and told him the secret he had heard very mysteriously.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that the third brother was so serious, Zhang Xiaohu couldn't help but lower his voice.

"Now there are people in Ha Jing Mansion quietly rumoring the next move of the lord."

"Do you want to hit that?"

"There are two theories, but I think they all make sense, and maybe the lord himself can't make up his mind. One is to go north and solve the Zheng family, and from then on there will be no worries, the Mo family's remnants are defeated, and it is a ball! The other is to go south, with the naval division as the main force, capture Manchuria, and control this golden waterway for trade with the Franco, Ceylonese, and Indians, such an advantage is that you can set up a card to collect taxes, and the staff officers of the military room have calculated that a ship is charged tolls at a rate of one hundred and five percent, and it is also an income of tens of millions of taels of silver in a year! ”

"You are right just now, our Zhang family, in the lord's place, is definitely going to spread the branches, can't be nested together, the big dog and the second dog go to the Luying Academy and the other go to the Sailor Academy, if the lord is determined to occupy Manraka, you must help the third brother, I will go to Manraka to increase the tax customs, and be the tax department there!"

Zhang Xiaoqi's eyes radiated a strange light in the night.
