11. Sail to cover the sea
Yun He explained, if there is no cannon to kill, then the children of the Wu Yi Army will be killed and injured by the barbarians, this is the greater sin, sister, you think, those martial arts students on the school field are so young and so graceful, can you bear to let them die on the battlefield because of the lack of artillery help?
As soon as he heard this, Yun Shao hurriedly clasped his palms.
Where would she want to?
"If you don't have a bronze Buddha, you can use the jade Buddha...... "Zhi Hui is even more indifferent.
Because she investigated a new way to make money, there are not many jade mills in Yangzhou, so she is ready to take the third brother's connections, from Jingyuan to get a large number of raw jade, to make all kinds of jade, the simplest, once the jade Buddha can be used to replace the bronze Buddha (pocket Buddha statue can be completely replaced), then just this one, you can make a lot of money.
Therefore, Zhi Hui resolutely supports the policy of the three brothers.
Two to one, Yun Shao has no choice but to support her husband.
Zhihui promised that she would immediately get the best Jade Buddha for your mother.
So several bronze statues of the Duke of Weiguo were handed over first.
Then the officials of the military government and the state and county followed suit.
Han Yu was particularly excited, and he also wrote a letter to Gao Yue, saying that since they had begun to destroy the Buddha statues, it was better to do it more thoroughly, and began to tax the temples in Yangzhou, I have designed it for Wei Gong, monks and nuns over 16 years old and under 50 years old, they must pay money four times a year, a piece of silk cloth, and the temple and the temple household must pay two taxes and Hu dou rice according to the standard, and the government will also give the temple and the book every year, and requisition rice grain and utensils.
Gao Yue replied that what he said was very reasonable, but he should not be too aggressive in doing things, and it is better to think in the long run.
Even if it is "considered in the long run", the whole Huaiyang is still a sensation, there is a bronze bell in the Shengyun Temple in Lianshui, Chuzhou, which was donated by the Silla people who went ashore to settle down, and the Silla people led the people to move, and the Silla people came to make noise to stop it, and were forcibly dispersed by the Wang Haichao, and then used dozens of cows and ropes to pull the bell out of the temple, but the bell suddenly fell and smashed through the floor, and the sound was like thunder.
The monk shouted to the Silla believers, saying that this was the meaning of the Buddha, that the Buddha's nature was contained in the bell, and that it was unwilling to leave the Shengyun Temple, and that if the government forcibly wanted to carry it, it would cause heavenly punishment, and the southern sea route of the Patriotic Expedition might encounter accidents.

Wang Haichao wrote to Gao Yue.
Gao Yue was furious and replied with a few words:
"Through the wall and the wall, increase the number of manpower, cattle and horses;
This way casts bells as cannons, and has its own Buddha nature blessings, and it is invincible to kill the enemy.
If the road goes to sea and encounters an accident, the monks of the Shengyun Temple will curse the road, and the king can kill it with a sword.
If the road goes to sea and triumphs, the monks of Shengyun Temple will be a fallacy to confuse the public, and the king can kill him with a rod. ”
As a result, Wang Haichao gave this letter to Shengyun Temple, and the chief monk thought that this was not going to die, and he was so shocked that he immediately fainted.
So the soldiers and soldiers of Chuzhou worked together to dismantle all the walls of the temple, and then used more than 100 cattle to drag out the big bell, melt it into copper on the spot, and send it to the Yangzhou Ordnance Workshop to cast artillery.
Subsequently, the monks of Shengyun Temple prayed sincerely for Wei Guogong day and night, hoping that he would be healthy and triumphant as soon as possible, after all, he would be in a good mood after winning the battle, and he should forgive them.
At the end of September, the large and small ships in Yangzhou Port sailed along the mighty river into the sea, carrying the entire Wu Yi army to go on the expedition.
When he arrived in Hangzhou and Mingzhou, the town navy, led by Bai Liangqi, also drove various sea ships to join Gao Yue's team.
In fact, the taste of taking a boat is not pleasant, even if it is offshore, but the bumps up and down have made Gao Yue a little dizzy, after all, he is in his forties, but seeing the majestic scene of the front and rear ships connected and bravely moving forward against the waves, Gao Yue still overcame the difficulties psychologically.
The huge fleet of Zhengnan has 30 large ships on the fifth floor, 40 large fighting ships, and 300 flat-bottomed river and sea Qianhu ships (transporting troops, transporting grain, transporting weapons and war horses), and the cabin adopts Yu Damiang's plan, raising vegetables and livestock by itself, and rice grain plus fresh vegetables and meat can keep the soldiers, war horses and boatmen in it healthy. In addition, there are dozens of "sea birds" escorting ships in the distance, this kind of ship has a pointed bottom, suitable for chopping waves in the sea, the two bows are just cocked, like a hoof's beak, both are equipped with wooden platforms that can fire light guns, and the sides of the ship are made of bamboo to make "armored women's walls", digging holes, for fire guns and crossbows to fire.
Soon after, the southern fleet arrived in Fuzhou.
At this time, not only did Uncle Zheng come to greet him, but the shipwrights and porters of the entire port were under the guidance of the city's shipping department, carrying and replenishing various materials for Gao Yue's fleet.
However, the foot strength and price were extremely expensive, and the cost of the Fan Boat, which also came from the open sea, was two-thirds lower than that of the Gao Yue fleet.
Gao Yue was very angry and said that this must have been confessed by Zheng Wenming when he left office.
Really.
However, soon Gao Yue understood Zheng Qi's approach, and when he observed the main hall of the embassy and saw the twelve wall notes left by Zheng Qi, he was even more emotional, and said to Uncle Zheng: "Fujian's future livelihood is all in Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and Zhangzhou, especially in Quanzhou, which is not only a good port, but also happens to be located in the area between Lingnan and Huaiyang and Zhejiang. Zheng Wenming's gaze is really unique and profound. ”
Uncle Zheng said that he received it.
Gao Yue suggested that every effort should be made to build a big official house in Quanzhou, including the Municipal Shipping Division, the Coastal Defense, and the Haiyu Academy, and keep the outstanding officials to go to specialize in maritime trade affairs, and the money can be doubled. The idea of this way is not to arbitrarily increase taxes on goods, not to arbitrarily detain ships, and not to arbitrarily set up tax yards in the interior to increase the price of sea goods. The officials in the maritime trade office should have a high amount of money, but they should be precise and strict in their selection, so as to effectively prevent the occurrence of corruption. If it is fair and honest, it will be efficient, and if it is efficient, there will be more ships and ships here, and this is a matter of great interest. ”
Seeing that Uncle Zheng was a little suspicious, Gao Yue cheered him up, saying that this expedition to the south, I am in charge of the military, I don't care about the financial and tax calculations, I can only give you advice, but I think it is right, it is better to be sooner rather than later, you are the commander of the five states of Fujian, as long as the two taxes and the purpose of the rice to the imperial court are guaranteed, you have the final say on the rest, in addition, I Huaiyang, as well as western and eastern Zhejiang, can help you, so there is still a lot to do.
In this way, Uncle Zheng put down his burden and said that he was willing to try his best.
Three days later, the fleet set sail again, preparing to anchor at Zhangzhou and then to Lingnan.
As a result, in the waters of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, countless Bai Shuilang and yachts accepted the solicitation documents sent by Gao Yue's military officials in advance, and they overwhelmingly rowed their unique grass skimming boats from Pukou, where they were located, to join Wei Guogong's fleet to conquer the south.
