It was impossible for the East India Company to trade in Asia to bring silver back to Amsterdam, which would be used to buy raw silk, silk, porcelain, tea, and so on.

Now the Dutch began to run a large man, in a vain attempt to completely occupy this large island and turn it into an indigenous territory of the Dutch.

Dayuan is now equivalent to a cargo transfer station, too many Daming's goods are stored here, and the Udvoort is ready to go to Dayuan to unload the goods and silver that are ready to be sold to Daming, and load the goods that are shipped back to Europe.

has not yet done business, and the business without capital is so lucrative, Huang Han has begun to plan to bring dividends to the great development of the military and civilians in the system.

It is an indisputable fact that prices rose at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the wealth accumulation of the "Red Banner Army" has been fruitful, and the time is ripe for appropriately raising the treatment of military and civilian personnel in the system.

A boss who often raises his employees is a good boss, and everything else is false.

At the end of the year, Huang Han planned to raise the basic monthly salary of the military and civilians in the system by one or two percent, and the true nature of the five buckets of miscellaneous grain of the Weisuo army remained unchanged, and the salary was distributed according to seven and two cents, the trainee soldiers were given nine yuan of silver, and the auxiliary soldiers and basic labor were given six yuan.

With the expectation of improving the treatment of nearly one million people in the system, it is indispensable to maximize the interests of the country in person this time, and to bear the casualties and defeat the private port of the nine ghosts.

The fleet of the division had 88 warships and merchant ships, and there was no night sailing that night, and the fleet was led by Shi Daxuan into a bay and anchored for the night.

After the captains arranged their shifts, the sailors and gunners slept peacefully, and Wang Yuqi and the master craftsmen and apprentices did not rest, they were still busy repairing the captured warships.

Hundreds of young soldiers from the Marine Corps volunteered to help, and they did some manual work according to the arrangements of the craftsmen.

Huang Han didn't bother with miscellaneous matters, and he had been studying the nest run by Nine Ghost Jiro with Shen Xianyi, Lin Minghai, and Shi Daxuan, and striving to formulate a relatively complete attack plan.

Listening to Shi Daxuan talk about the specific location and characteristics of the place, Huang Han estimated that the old nest where the nine ghosts were entrenched might be Naliu Island among the five islands of the Wa Kingdom in later generations, and even if it was not, it should not be far from Naliu Island.

Lin Minghai was also actively using his brains, and he gave a suggestion, most of the warships of the East India Company were named after Dutch towns, why didn't the "Red Banner Army" warships give a well-known name based on the Daming city?

Huang Han thought about this, but then he forgot about it when he was busy, and it is really unscientific to distinguish and command the current warships by serial number and captain's name, if the captain changes the warship, it will inevitably cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Moreover, it is foreseeable that this batch of captains will change warships in the near future, and this time they will take a larger warship with them when they return in a short time.

The "Red Banner Army" attaches great importance to meetings, because this model has been proven to be effective by history.

Meetings are not only a means for rulers to make their presence felt, but also to remind the general public that there are people who are managing them, and that it is better for everyone to improve their organizational discipline.

The lack of meetings directly led to the clamor of liberalism and led to a decline in cohesion. In Daming, the most important thing is liberalism, and the most important thing to enhance is cohesion.

Otherwise, how could the Ming Dynasty, with a population of 100 million people, be conquered by a group of barbarians from Tunguska?

is about to seize the lair that Jiuki Jiro has entrenched for many years, and it is indispensable to convene a meeting of the general to study tactics. Soon the notice of the meeting was issued, and all the generals arrived early, and no one was late.

There is no procrastination in the "Red Banner Army" system, and it is impossible for the situation in later generations where the meeting started at eight o'clock and nine o'clock before it began.

If one of them is really late, the magistrate will directly drag it aside and play twenty boards first and then ask why he is late.

The flagship command cabin was full of people, and the chief and second officers of all the warships were deliberating, and the meeting was also attended by infantry officers above the rank of chief flag officer.

Shi Daxuan has already introduced the situation of the nine ghosts to everyone, and I heard that there are such great benefits, and the generals in the cabin all support the capture of that private port without exception.

The generals of the "Red Banner Army" are also more cheeky now, and they say that they are not to rob gold and silver treasures, but to save two or three thousand slaves, because I am afraid that more than half of them are Han Chinese.

Knowing that there are compatriots living abroad and suffering, how can the righteous "Red Banner Army" sit idly by? It is incumbent upon you to enter the enemy's nest and save the Han people from fire and water!

Shi Daxuan relied on his memory to roughly draw the outline of the island where the Nine Ghosts' private harbor is located, and it is not a problem to rush in and land on the beach with the firepower of the "Red Banner Army" warships, the key is how to minimize casualties?

After all, the Nine Ghosts had three boulder forts, and the guns mounted on them had a maximum caliber of twelve pounds, an effective firing range of more than one nautical mile, and a maximum elevation angle of two or three nautical miles.

There is also a problem, it is said that the Nine Ghosts have thirty warships, and even if most of these warships belong to the armed merchant ship level, they have the ability to attack, and our army will have to face the attacks of these warships when attacking the fort.

Enthusiastically speaking and expressing their views is the consistent style of the generals of the "Red Banner Army" when discussing their deliberations, and the result of brainstorming is the final resolution.

Shi Daxuan continued to raise his hand to ask to speak after finishing the basic situation of the nine ghosts, he wanted to show himself too much in this situation.

Of course, Huang Han wanted to listen to the advice of this senior pirate leader, this time it was actually just black eating black, no different from the mutual annexation between pirates, Shi Daxuan's previous Eighteen Zhi should have done this kind of business.

Seeing that General Pingliao and most of the generals listened to their own stories with an open mind, Shi Daxuan was full of energy.

He said: "Avoiding the real and dividing the enemy can be used when dealing with the Nine Ghost Pirates." Our army can choose the first battlefield outside the range of the Nine Ghost Fort, and try to sink or capture the unknown Nine Ghost Warships outside the private harbor as much as possible. ”

Huang Han nodded approvingly: "It should be like this, if the Nine Ghosts choose to defend and join the slaves, they can use four or five thousand people, and our army's strong attack will inevitably produce huge casualties, so it is imperative to lure the pirate ships into a naval battle to defeat a part of their fresh army." ”

Shi Daxuan was more confident when he got Huang Han's affirmation, and he said: "Our army can set up an ambush outside the Nine Ghosts' private harbor and destroy all their ships entering and leaving the port with an absolute superiority of forces.

You can also dispatch two or three merchant ships to lure pirate ships out to rob, I believe that in three or five days, the nine ghosts will lose at least half of the warships. ”

Shen Xianyi applauded: "Brother Shi has analyzed it very well, of course, the combat effectiveness of the pirates is reflected in the warships, if more than half of the warships are really defeated, it is very likely that the combat effectiveness of the Nine Ghosts Private Port will be reduced by half." ”

At this time, all the generals of the "Red Banner Army" applauded, and they expressed their approval of Shi Daxuan's plan in this way.
