On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, when the "Red Banner Army" had already deployed more than 200,000 people to fight local tyrants, exterminate profiteers, and raid corrupt officials.

Due to proper deployment and perfect intelligence, because of the powerful military deterrence of the "Red Banner Army," and because the military attachés of the Ming Dynasty, who were the protective umbrella, all left the army, and during the intensive training, there was no violent resistance to the law at all.

The family members of the Eight Great Imperial Merchants saw the red flag fluttering, saw the "Red Flag Army" that had killed Jiannu advancing in formation, and heard the military masters' loud orders to put down their weapons, how dare they block the car with their mantis arms?

When other Jin merchants saw that the Fan family, the Wang family, the Jin family and other representative big businessmen were even more afraid to resist, they obediently tied their hands and were arrested.

In the end, the families of the eight imperial merchants and dozens of other Jin merchants were all gathered together to participate in the training, and the number was as high as 15,000.

These people have good physical fitness, and there are not a few people who have kung fu in their hands, and they can't let it go.

The family who has lost the head of the family is powerful and martial, and it is impossible to live with peace of mind if he stays in the market, and it will become a hidden danger to public security, so it is the most suitable for these people to be soldiers.

These people will not be left in the local area, and after completing the basic subject training, those who have outstanding performance and combat skills can be scattered and assigned to the regular barracks of the "Red Banner Army", and the rest of them will serve as the guards to accompany the army.

The unprecedentedly powerful and well-organized "Red Banner Army" does not need to worry about a few people being negative; after a year or two of assimilation, some of the more active ones will be promoted.

I feel that working in the collective of the "Red Flag Army" not only earns enough to support my family, but also has a brighter future than following the owner to do smuggling, and these family members will be inseparable from other regular soldiers and guards.

After the Jin merchants were eliminated, after counting the grain storage, and then calculating the population who needed to provide rations to the end of July of the tenth year of Chongzhen, the food gap was not too big.

At this time, there was good news that Huang Yong's sea trade fleet had unloaded some grain in Nantong Prefecture, and they would definitely be able to send the remaining rice to Tianjin Weihe Tiger's Den City before the Chinese New Year.

Huang Yong not only bought back 800,000 stone of rice, but also signed a trade contract twice a year and paid a deposit, with a delivery volume of not less than 800,000 stone, and the deadline for picking up the goods was in April and October every year, and he had to make two trips to Nanyang every year after that.

Or knowing the expectation of being able to import about 2 million stone of grain every year, Huang Han's heart is more stable, Daming has these completely extra grain in hand, which can ensure that two or three million people will not starve to death, and can make seven or eight hundred thousand adult men eat eighty percent of their food every day.

Huang Yong knew that his brother needed a large amount of food to help the refugees, and as soon as the fleet arrived at the port of Nantong Prefecture, he immediately sent someone to send the letter that had been written long ago to Shanxi in 600 miles.

In the letter, he reported the results of the war, informing his brother that there were more than 200 new ships launched or about to be launched in this year, more than half of which were merchant ships with a displacement of more than 500 tons, and 100 were warships.

Among them, there were more than 20 battleships with a displacement of more than 600 tons, 10 battleships with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons, and the others were all small warships with a displacement of less than 200 tons.

Huang Yong said that now the combat effectiveness of the Longwu Naval Division and the total capacity of the "Sun and Moon Shipping" have been greatly improved, and if there are no other combat missions, he will continue to lead the fleet to run to the South China Sea after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The last years of the Ming Dynasty were completely different from the last years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in the last years of the Manchu Dynasty, Xiyi seized a large amount of Chinese territory, colonies everywhere, the streets were full of foreign goods, there was a huge trade deficit, and real money and silver were earned and blackmailed by the colonists, resulting in poverty and weakness of the country.

From the Ming Dynasty to the death of the country, the goods were sold all over the world, the trade was in surplus, silk, porcelain, cotton, tea, handicrafts, etc. were simply in short supply, earning back a lot of real money.

It's just that the dominance of the Ming Dynasty is too fucked, although the profits of maritime trade far exceed the sum of the Ming taxes, but there are very few that fall into the hands of the government.

Commerce and handicrafts were developed in the south, and there were many families of the super-rich, but it was a pity that these people did not have the consciousness of dying and refused to fight for the country at all, and finally the huge wealth was robbed by the Manchus.

Now Daming has Huang Han, and the export products have more than 100 kinds of table clocks, glassware, valves, nickel white copper pipes, flush toilets, tiles, arquebuses, soaps, foundations, hair oils, shampoos and so on.

The products are more competitive across the era, and the gross profit margin has also increased significantly, which is the direct benefit of adding millions of jobs to Daming.

As long as Huang Yong escorted merchant ships carrying silk, canvas, porcelain, tea, and other goods to Manila and Fifford ports, he could always get more than double the gross profit on average.

When returning to the sea, it is loaded with rice, copper ingots, pig iron, lead, zinc, tin, sulfur, spices, sandalwood, gold, silver and other goods, and the value of the goods transported to Daming will be doubled.

Nowadays, the influence of the "Red Flag Army" is not only familiar to northerners, but also famous in southern provinces such as Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi, which is a good effect of large-scale procurement.

Although there are many weaving factories and ceramic kilns in the system, they are far from being able to meet the supply of foreign trade, and the system does not produce tea and silk at all, so seventy percent of the goods of "Sun and Moon Shipping" are purchased in Jiangnan.

Huang Han did not allow the commercial banks in the system to pay triangular debts to destroy the natural economy, and refused to take credit if the procurement funds were insufficient, preferring to take out loans from the "Sifang Bank".

Buyers and sellers like cash spot the most, and the "Red Flag Army" system of the commercial banks purchased an amazing amount, gave a fair price, and immediately settled the bill to pay the "Sifang Bank" can be deposited and exchanged.

Such a good reputation of course can be eaten, "Sun Moon Shipping" every time it begins to stock up, the merchants waiting for screening at the door of the office are lined up, the selected merchants are happy, and the unsuccessful merchants are depressed.

Nine times out of ten, the big merchants in Jiangnan have official backgrounds, and the trading houses of the generals who conquered the generals are fair and have never bullied the market, and have become the largest purchasers in the Ming Dynasty.

As a direct result, Jiangnan officials were willing to cooperate with the "Red Banner Army", and their spokesmen in the court did not target the generals as much as possible.

Due to the repeated merger of the two pirate groups of Zheng Zhilong and Liu Xiang, the risk of the fleet running to the South China Sea is huge.

At the very least, Liu Xiangbu was anxious when he saw the merchant ships with the banner of Zheng Yiguan, even if the robbery was not cost-effective, and even if the gains outweighed the losses, they did their best.

Without steaming steamed buns to fight for breath, Liu Xiang is trying to defeat the credibility of Zheng Zhilong Group, so as to weaken the Zheng family.

Huang Yong's Longwu Sailor should be an invincible existence in the Daming Sea Frontier, as long as he finds that all the ships in the field of vision are intercepted when escorting the merchant fleet, even the official ships of the Daming Dynasty will not let go, so of course this will exacerbate the risk of other maritime merchants running sea trade.
