Seeing Hu Quina's eagerness, Wei Wuji lowered his head and opened the account book, "Three million taels of silver were seized, one hundred thousand taels of gold, and one hundred thousand taels of jewelry, with a total value of ten million taels, and there were corals, shells, and seafood worth three hundred thousand taels, and ten million copper coins of various kinds, with a preliminary estimate of about one million taels." In addition, there were 3,000 Spanish silver dollars, 11,000 Spanish gold coins, 200 Mexican silver dollars, 1,000 Portuguese gold coins, and 3,000 Dutch gold coins......"

"Whew, swooh," the man was breathing heavily, his eyes reddening.

Hu Kui held his hands and said excitedly: "It's better to be a pirate, there are so many treasures in a small pirate den, even if you kill me, I won't be able to get so much money, as well as all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, and foreigners' gold coins." ”

"My lord, what do you do with these things?" Hu Kui stared at Zhang Qiang with red eyes, looking at him, if you don't give us a little, I will fight with you.

But Zhang Qiang didn't bird him, "Did you pay?" ”

"Want to get these, unless you go for it,"

"Lord Wei, these are handed over to Zhu Dayou and classified as public property, no one is allowed to take them privately, and if there is any violation, they will be beheaded immediately." Zhang Qiang said to Wei Wuji.

"Yes, sir." Wei Wuji hurriedly gave a gift, in fact, he was also very tempted by so many treasures, but he knew who gave all this, without Zhang Qiang, he was still a family member who collected tips from others in front of the door, tired and tired, and was insulted by others, and if he was not right, he would be executed by the family law.

Now he is the governor of Jinhua Mansion, the highest military governor of a government, although this Jinhua Mansion is only a very small place in the entire Ming Dynasty, and the territory occupied by Zhang Qiang is only a few hundredths of the entire Ming Dynasty, but it is the official position of this small place, which he has not dared to think of for several generations.

"Anything else?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Wei Wuji opened the account book and continued: "There are also timbers for shipbuilding, and there are thirty-two pieces of wood of more than 1,000 materials, eighty pieces of wood of eight hundred materials, two hundred pieces of wood of six hundred materials, six hundred pieces of wood of four hundred materials, three hundred materials, and two hundred pieces of wood for a total of one thousand three hundred, and two thousand two hundred pieces of wood for the rest of the small keels, and other parts of the wood, twenty ships, iron nails, tung oil, cotton and linen, canvas, and thirty ships with masts. ”

Breathing a sigh of relief, Wei Wuji continued to bow his head and read, "In accordance with your orders, we will tie up the old fishermen and pirates on the island, along with their families, and place them in Taizhou County. ”

Zhou Congee was on the side, and he asked strangely, "My lord, why are you tying up these people?" ”

"Are they of any use?"

Zhang Qiang said with a smile: "These people are the treasures of our coastal rule, they are the living data of coastal hydrology, we must know that there are islands and reefs along the coast, there are reefs at the bottom of the water, there can be hidden people, what fish can be caught there, when there is fog at sea, when there is a strong wind, when there is a typhoon, which channel is the fastest and safest for coastal boats......"

Hu Kui scratched his head, "My lord, you just ask Zhang Ying about these, why do you want to get these old people?" ”

Zhang Qiang stood up, "Zhang Ying, they want to ask, those pirates in Zhang Ying's sailor also ask, these people also want to ask, what they say will be recorded, and then compiled into a book, our sailor will set up a sailor academy at that time, and hand over these experiences to those sailor officers and soldiers behind, and in the future, the sailor officers and soldiers must learn in this academy before they can get on the ship, practice and learn, and finally become our sailor officers and soldiers." ”

Zhou Congee was still puzzled, "My lord, just let them go on the boat to learn, why bother doing it many times?" ”

Zhang Qiang said with a smile: "If a person knows more about the situation in these waters than those old fishermen and pirates, knows what weather to sail in, and where to hide, then are we still afraid of the enemy coming to attack?" ”

Zhang Qiang paced in the office with his hands behind his back, "When the time comes, we will find a place to hide, and then wait for the enemy to be swept away by a typhoon, or a reef to break the ship, or we are in foggy weather, with what we have learned, we are equivalent to having an eye that can see through the fog, and then we can hit the enemy, and the enemy will be blocked by the reef as soon as he chases, or will be attacked by us, will they dare to hit us?" ”

"And such people can only use those experiences if they learn everything that everyone knows from the Sailor Academy, and they alone concentrate the experience of many people, so do you think they are very powerful?"

The three subordinates, their eyes lit up, and they said together: "Your Excellency is wise." Zhang Qiang smiled with his hands behind his back in satisfaction.

Wei Wuji raised his head, "My lord, then we have defeated Zheng Cai, and at the same time swept away the pirates along the coast of our territory, and our coastal areas will be relatively peaceful in the future, what will Zheng Cai and those prisoners do?" ”

Zhang Qiang said: "Captives, we have a way to deal with captives, as for these big shots, I am waiting for Zheng Chenggong, after all, these people are Zheng Chenggong's father's subordinates, although his father rebelled, but Zheng Chenggong also inherited his father's inheritance, Zheng Cai, we can't kill at will, we can only hand it over to Zheng Chenggong to dispose of." ”

Hu Kui said angrily: "My lord, this is not good, he made us suffer heavy losses, the people of the fifteen miles along the coast were slaughtered tens of thousands of people, many people were so frightened that they left their hometowns and moved inland, he broke into the inland this time, and also slaughtered a lot of manors, even the squires complained, we fought and he fought, and thousands of people died, how can we say that we will let it go?" ”

Zhou Congee also hurriedly said: "Yes, my lord, we can't let it go, we have to give an explanation to the people in the territory." ”

Zhang Qiang shook his head, "Our main enemy is not Zheng Chenggong, it is the Manchus, it is the Tartars, and the Nanming officials around us are not our good allies.

We don't rely on all sides now, and we can't be without friends, even if it's these friends of interest, besides, we have offended the Portuguese and the Dutch, and we need a maritime ally.

We didn't have it before, but now we do, Zheng Chenggong is a relatively decent person, we need him to share the pressure from the sea for us, and find us a shield that can resist the enemy from the sea. ”

Zhu Dayou saw the figure at the door flickering, a chaser officer nodded at him, Zhu Dayou quietly came to the door, said a few words to the officer, and then returned to the office, and said to Zhang Qiang: "My lord, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived, Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Tai are visiting." ”

"Oh," Zhang Qiang said with a smile, and said to everyone: "Disperse, Lord Wei, you still go back to your Admiral's Mansion and take care of your military, Lord Zhou, you go back to Taizhou Mansion, take care of civil affairs, and let Du Ge and Xuanyuan Longfei take care of the military affairs of Taizhou Mansion and Wenzhou Mansion." We're recuperating for a while. Look at how the situation develops and decide what to do next. ”

The three of them retreated, and Zhang Qiang said to Zhu Dayou: "Recruit Zheng Chenggong to come in." ”
