The night was dark, as if boundless ink was smeared heavily on the sky, and there was not even a glimmer of stars.

Chen Hua was lying on the bed alone, from a small grassroots root to a local overlord like Zheng Zhilong, surrounded by all kinds of beauties who were fat and thin, he could now hold his little brother, Chen Hua was surprised to find that his self-control was really good.

With his hands behind his head, the scenes of the day resurfaced in front of his eyes......

The first step for Zheng Group to make changes is also the first step for him to intervene in history, and the effect is very good so far!

His words scared everyone stupid, or it can be said that everyone was fooled. Everyone succumbed to his words, even Zheng Sen succumbed to the heavy pressure. In the final analysis, the Zheng family is his inseparable kinship, and as a Confucian son of the Ming Dynasty, who is important, the family or the emperor, do you still need to make a very difficult choice?

But Chen Hua can't be proud, because this is only the first step in the long march!

Ten days later, the generals of the Zheng clan in Anping had already left, and they were going back to purge their army. In the past few years, that casual style and laziness of putting knives and guns into storage are about to change.

Chen Hua also ordered his shipyards to increase investment in Western-style Galen ships from today onwards. There is also a gun factory, from which he specially selected a group of veterans and transferred them to Anping City to study the iron mold casting method.

At the same time, gun factories and cold weapon casting also began to shift from manpower to water conservancy.

Zheng Zhilong has Europeans and even Dutchmen in his hands, is it difficult to build a few windmills to try?

He asked Shi Fu to rush to Qiongzhou, whose Shilu iron ore was the only source of high-quality iron ore that Zheng Zhilong could think of now. Coupled with the Hongji Coal Mine in the north of Annam, as well as the instructions of coal coking and other measures, it is believed that the Zheng Group's military manufacturing industry will enter a fast lane of rapid development.

In general, it's not Chen Hua who is awesome, but Zheng Zhilong.

A separate armed force, all kinds of supporting facilities needed, and personnel and material reserves in all aspects, all of them are available.

Now, all Chen Hua has to do is to take its function a step further, and of course there are slight improvements.

As a young person, isn't it normal to read a few YY novels? And the items he ordered to go at the right time, but all the old white readers who dot the history of the mother can talk about the Tao.

The Shilu Iron Mine in Qiongdao, the Hongji Coal Mine in Annam Monkeys, and the iron mold casting method, and even the fixed ammunition and granular powder, are the winning weapons of many traversers who started in the south.

Chen Hua issued orders one after another, and it took a few months to realize that he seemed to be in a hurry. Do you have three years of safe time? He didn't actually need to be so nervous!

After all, his initial goal is only to maintain the Ming Dynasty, and he is also a relatively weak Ming Dynasty, so that Chongzhen can fight each other with Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and the Manchu Qing.

In this way, as the war continues, the world continues to be in turmoil, and a large number of refugees have no choice but to leave Middle-earth.

Chen Hua fills the population in the back road, but it has to be obtained from the endless war. Whether it's the big man or the Zhancheng and other places he said, if you want to really develop it, you don't know how many lives will have to be filled.

Of course, this loss is not worth mentioning compared with the loss of the entire Central Plains.

Chen Hua is obviously not a virgin, he knows very well how many people will die in his plan, which can be thought of with his feet.

But this is in his best interest.

It is not in the interests of the Ming Dynasty, let alone the word 'benevolence', it is only because he has no soul to wear to Chongzhen's body.

But Chen Hua doesn't care about these, no matter how many people die, can there be more dead people than after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs?

He didn't have nightmares at night, dreaming that he was being killed by thousands of unjust souls, is this a material world?

Therefore, although he has been moving a lot recently, he will not stop, three years is not a short time, but it is not too long. Chen Hua was already thinking about his next step in his mind......

Inside the study of Zheng Zhai.

With a pen, under Zeng Ying's name, he drew a circle.

The current governor of Denglai has just taken office this spring, and he really fell asleep and handed over a pillow. He's thinking about getting some big men from the Northland to train an army. There is an acquaintance who has taken the position of governor of Denglai, which is simply lucky.

Because he really has no confidence in Zheng Zhilong's land combat ability, and even if he is asked to pick the elite from them, and then put a lot of effort into training, he has no psychological background. This is not only because Zheng Jun has become loose and the morale of the army has declined. It is also because of the regional disputes that exist within it.

As everyone knows, the clan concept in the south is more far-reaching than in the north, and the unity and cohesion between the people in the countryside are stronger than in the north. is Zheng Zhilong's success, in a sense, thanks to this concept.

Look at the entire Zheng clan, how many manpower and conveniences have been provided for him in the process of adding him?

In addition, the backbone generals of the entire Zheng Group, whether they are surnamed Zheng or not, are mostly from Jinjiang. This is a bit like the Whampoa Military Academy and the Fenghua nationality of Jiangsu and Zhejiang during the period of Chang Dashuai, who was born a head taller than others.

But how could the more than 100,000 brothers under his entire group come from Jinjiang or even Quanzhou?

Therefore, whether it is from a long-term perspective or from the present, it is very necessary for Zheng Zhilong to introduce 'outsiders'.

And it was also influenced by the concept of his previous life, he always felt that fighting with knives and guns, northerners were more reliable than southerners. This is by no means Chen Hua opening a map cannon, Zhu Hongwu is also pushing from the south to the north, it is really an old concept.

And if you want to bring in refugees from the north, Zeng Ying's position as governor of Denglai couldn't be more important.

It is impossible for Chen Hua to take the land route to introduce refugees and displaced people, and the only way to go is by sea, Dengzhou City may be too eye-catching, but what about Zhifu Island, which is already of little importance?

The latter since the Han and Tang Dynasties has always been one of the important seaports in the north, Mengyuan time, Haicao Daxing, starting from Liujiagang in Shanghai, to Tianjin Yangshu Wharf as the end, the whole process "where 13,350 miles", after the route enters Qilu, "the stone island of Rongcheng, the slang island, the Weihai of Wendeng, the Zhifu of Fushan, the temple island of Penglai, is the only way for the grain".

Because of its special shape, Zhifu Island is simply a natural navigation sign on the way to sea, which is easy for seafarers to recognize and use. More than 1,000 boats enter and exit through Zhifu Bay every year, and more than 1 million stones of grain are transported.

When it came to Zhu Ming, it was true that the sea ban was very powerful, but the people who were forbidden were the people. The official shipping is still frequent, and the poem "Looking north at the waves and soaking in the distant sky, the Xuanfu Gengqi is pitiful, the wind is gentle and the sun is twilight, and the sails are gathered, not the medicine collection ship of the year" truly reflects the situation of the ship transporting military rations in Zhifu Bay.

For example, in the first year of Yongle, "490,000 stone of grain was paid to Beijing and Liaodong, and 700,000 stone was added later." Another example is the 24th year of Wanli, "the old daily sailor ships, Huai'an transported 100,000 stones of southern rice, and Shandong Yundeng and Laimi stones of 100,000 stones, all of which were handed over to Pyongyang for unloading and relief."

At present, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty has declined to the extreme, and Zhifu Island has been completely scrapped.

But Chen Hua felt that it was a good choice there, so he slowly infiltrated it first, and waited until three years later......

After the upheaval three years later, this place could become a bridgehead he had arranged in the north. You can even use this as a base to hook up with the rebels in the land of Qilu and become the latter's arms dealer.

Chen Hua wanted to support the Ming Dynasty, but he would never lead the team to Yanjing three years later to resist King Li Chuang's army.

It is also possible to support the Ming Dynasty and support Emperor Chongzhen to Jinling. By the way, he can also squeeze the dignitaries in Yanjing City.

By then, King Li Chuang had swept north of the Yangtze River, and the Ming Dynasty could still nominally dominate most of China south of the Yangtze River. Emperor Chongzhen's 'personal prestige' is not comparable to Emperor Hongguang. At the same time, at that time, Chen Hua must have had a lot of say in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

Moreover, except for Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan and Shu, and Chen Hua in Fujian, the territory that Emperor Chongzhen can control is still not small. As long as it can be integrated, there will be a dozen with Li Zicheng.

In addition, the Manchu Qing outside the customs is also very likely to enter the customs, and there can be some trouble in the Central Plains, and there is time for him to continue his strength and layout.
