Li Dan owned a private port near Nagasaki, with dozens of warships, armed merchant ships, and several thousands of sailors, gunners, and gunners.

He knew that most of his father's inheritance had been swallowed by Zheng Yiguan, who had gained his father's trust and became his godson, but he was helpless.

Because Zheng Yiguan, who changed his name to Zheng Zhilong, is not what it used to be, he not only swallowed the Li family's property and ships, but also basically ate the inheritance of the great pirate Yan Siqi.

Huang Han had just sent off his second brother and Shi Daxuan, and he was surprised to see his fourth brother Huang Ang.

This child has reached the age of fourteen, and his height is about to catch up with Huang Yong, and when he saw the eldest brother who did not have much contact with Gui Weiguogong, Huang Ang, the younger brother of the concubine, was a little at a loss.

Huang Yizhou was originally determined to cultivate a real scholar for the Huang family, but who knew that the eldest son found another way to enter the scholar and the first, and joined the Hanlin Academy and obtained the false title of bachelor from the fifth grade, becoming one of the most successful scholars.

In this way, it seems that it is better to let Mi'er follow those so-called erudite Confucians to read and read dead books, and it is better to let him follow his brother to practice, so let Huang Ang take the initiative to come to his brother, and he will be a young guard by his brother's side in the future.

Seeing the letters brought by his father Huang Yizhou to his younger brother, and finding that his father's thoughts had changed so quickly, Huang Han was overjoyed, and Le Zizi left Huang Ang by his side to teach him personally.

At the end of the first month, there was good news from Jingshi, Huang Han's second son Huang Shen was born, the mother and son were safe, and the name of the second son was still given by the father-in-law.

Huang Han has already begun to worry that his father-in-law will use the words "cautious and careful" to name his son, and it will be too bad if the third child is called Huang Xiao and the fourth child is called Huang Xin.

Who knew that a few days later, the eldest lady Zheng Xiu'e came to write a letter, asking Chu Chu and Xu Miaoyan in a deliberative tone if the two sisters of Chu Chu and Xu Miaoyan could not use the names Huang Xiao and Huang Xin.

It seems that husband and wife are of the same heart! The talented girl Zheng Xiu'e also thought of the words "cautious and careful", so flexible and catchy, Huang Han was impatient to ponder these useless, and wrote a reply, all up to the eldest woman.

At the beginning of February of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Qin Yanyi went home by sea, and Qin Gongming personally sent his sister south.

This historical martyr is now alive, Huang Han looked happy in his heart, and said in a very high-profile manner that the "Red Flag Army" did not hide his selfishness, and the second uncle's people could even learn to control the Hongyi 12-pounder field gun.

It is a pity that the eighteen-month-old daughter Huang Yichuan was left in Sichuan by two grandmothers, and the two old people were too precious to leave the child on the grounds that the distance was too far and the child was too young to travel.

They asked Qin Yanyi to go to Shizhu in a year or two to pick up her daughter home, and said that if Qin Yanyi didn't come back in person, no one would be able to pick up the child.

Knowing that Zheng Xiu'e gave birth to another big fat boy, Qin Yanyi was overjoyed and sad, she actually wanted to give birth to a son to her beloved husband!

In the past two years, Qin Yanyi has not had the consciousness of being a mother, because she gave birth in her mother's house, not only with the care of her own mother but also with the thoughtfulness of her adoptive mother Qin Liangyu, so Qin Yanyi, who was out of confinement, was still busy training.

When Qin Yanyi came back, the women's barracks was already seriously overstaffed, and there were actually five thousand in total, with a total number of five thousand six hundred, and everyone could use their own guns to shoot skillfully, but they were three people sharing one for training.

There are too many Sichuan girls who are keen to become female soldiers of the "Red Flag Army", Qin Yanyi likes to have many little girls from her hometown, and has accepted many people to join the army.

She did not take the initiative to report to the General Praise Painting Department, worried that her husband would not allow the women's barracks to be too large, and wanted to create the facts first, so she could only get 1,800 military salaries and supplies every month.

Fortunately, the husband and the gentleman in Sichuan fought bandits and exterminated the Liukou and got a lot of property and land, but the land could not be taken away at all, except for the fields in eastern Sichuan that were handed over to Gu Zhun Tuntian to raise soldiers, and the rest of the fields in Sichuan were all handed over to Qin Yanyi for disposal.

Qin Yanyi used the military salary and equipment of 2,000 people plus the income of 40,000 or 50,000 mu of fertile land to paste her dowry to cover the military salary and training consumption of 5,600 female soldiers, which was still because there were basically no cavalry.

Qin Yanyi's husband's character is clear, she knows that as long as the female soldiers she trains are well-disciplined and have outstanding combat skills, it is impossible for her husband to disappoint these female soldiers who train hard every day, and she will definitely give regular soldiers treatment.

As expected, Huang Han was overjoyed to see the thousands of female soldiers who were fierce and fierce, praised Qin Yanyi, and wrote a warrant on the spot for Qin Yanyi to go to the "Sifang Qianzhuang" to receive a year's full salary.

At the end of February, the second large-scale voyage to the South Seas began, and Huang Yong received clear instructions from his brother that the more grain to be imported, the better.

He didn't know that he was constrained by the transportation capacity, and he ran once a year and definitely didn't have as much grain as he could bring back two trips, so he set off early, even if the rice prepared by Luzon, Quang Nam, and Da Yue was insufficient, and it didn't matter, and he could increase the amount of food after six months.

Huang Yong still personally led the team, and this time he carried a hundred merchant ships of the old lock ship, none of which had a displacement of less than 500 tons.

He also brought Huang Yi, Lin Shunwen, and Shen Youluo to participate in the internship, and dispatched 39 battleships with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons.

The plan is to sell goods with a cost price of 1.5 million taels of silver, and all products are products without raw materials, including cotton, canvas, silk, tea, porcelain, glassware, spirits, cosmetics, ironware, horse lanterns, and so on.

The most important cargo at the time of the return voyage is the scheduled 1 million stone of grain, if the supply of goods is guaranteed, the transportation capacity is not a problem, as much grain as possible is imported, the better, this time to strive to transport back 1.2 million stone.

Huang Yong calculated the transportation capacity, and under the condition that the fleet did not increase the number of ships obtained due to robbery, the carrying capacity of warships and merchant ships could fully meet the needs of bringing back raw materials such as copper ingots, nickel, gold, silver, pig iron, and one million stone of rice.

The actual weight of 1 million koku of polished rice is 90,000 tons, and with the 500,000 koku ordered from the Wa Kingdom, the arrival of this grain in Hong Kong can ensure that more than 2 million people will not starve to death.

The population of the system has swelled dramatically, and the continuous supply of grain to Gyeonggi has stabilized food prices, resulting in a shortage of grain stocks, and in the event of a major disaster, there will be a food crisis.

Grain reserves are too important, so the sailor did not hesitate to cross the ocean to import rice, and Huang Han believed that the surplus of 5 million stone grain in the warehouse could make people feel at ease.

These grains can still meet the minimum survival needs of four million people even if the harvest is not harvested throughout the year, and they will not fall into the tragic situation of cannibalism.

As long as the "Red Banner Army" has a year, even if it is not capable of fighting natural disasters, it will impose the disasters it has endured on the enemy. ”
