Chapter 226: Big Money
After less than two days, Liu Guoxuan ran back and forth, and finally finalized the final deal with the Spaniards, who used the goods and gold and silver in their hands to pay for the goods, and made a total of 10 million silver taels.
And Liu Guoxuan ran inside and out, and the commission was two percent as his commission, a total of more than two million and one hundred thousand silver taels, which made him earn more than two million taels, not to mention how happy he was.
The area that Zheng Chenggong gave him to defend was Chichicheng, which was equivalent to the territory from Taichung to Hsinchu in later generations, and the area that was handed over to Yuxing for defense was from Hsinchu to Baobei, and the coastal area belonging to the northwest of Baodao was 100 kilometers deep into 6.
After getting the money, he immediately ran back to Hsinchu and began to learn from Zhang Qiang's Jinhua Righteous Army for construction.
After Zhang Qiang obtained eight million silver taels again, he sold the goods to Huang Yan in the southwest, and Huang Yan's defensive area was a part of Taichung that was less than Chiayi and Liu Guoxuan's territory, and he was more good at trading than Liu Guoxuan, he used to be a maritime merchant, so he wanted goods, not money, because selling goods was more profitable than asking for money.
Therefore, Zhang Qiang's half of the silver was obtained from him.
And after Zhang Qiang got the money, he immediately allocated one million as the start-up capital for Tang Dianfeng to govern here, and let him build the Red Embedded City here.
After hearing that Zhang Qiang helped Liu Guoxuan, Yu Xing, and Huang Yan train the army, Feng Xin, who had a few connections with him and had received him, also brought people here, Tang Dianfeng and Xiao Fei also spent more than two days to defeat the city of Relansha, which was larger than Chichicheng City, with cannons and arquebuses, plus digging trenches to approach the city wall, Feng Xin also felt extremely envious of this attack method.
Although Zheng Chenggong had bought a lot of Zhang Qiang's obsolete weapons and cannons, and captured a lot of cannons and arquebuses and other weapons from the city of Geranza, they were still using the fighting methods of the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Dutch, who were armed to the teeth and had a preliminary understanding of musket tactics, and even inferior to Kong Youde, who had already used arquebus tactics to the extreme, and they were the Qing Dynasty Han army banner generals who pioneered muskets, so they were inspired by the strength of Zhang Qiang's army, and Feng Xin found it.
And Zhang Qiang had to delay for a few more days and have a discussion and transaction with him.
Then he sent 2oo skilled soldiers to help him train cold weapon soldiers, 1oo senior soldiers to help him train cold weapons and arquebus soldiers to cooperate combat tactics, 5o elite soldiers to help him train arquebusiers, 1o elite soldiers as supervisors and backbone instructors to help him train officers in command operations and tactical coordination problems.
version of the arquebus, he removed a lot of good quality 6-pounder, 9-pounder, 12-pounder guns, 1oo guns from his own battleship, and sent 1oo gunners to help him train artillery.
It's like helping Liu Guoxuan, Yu Xing, and Huang Yan, but what is the cost of this training, a force of 2,000 people, 100,000 a month, a total of 300,000 for three months of training, plus the cost of selling weapons, a total of 2.3 million, Feng Xin also paid for the goods and silver.
And Zhang Qiang didn't want to receive goods, because a lot of goods were useless to him or the Jinhua Righteous Army, silk, tea, tobacco, salt, sugarcane, all of which are available in the south, and porcelain is not needed, these things are not lacking on the big 6, although he fought with the Qing army, but Chinese merchants are pervasive, even if the Qing army is forbidden, the investigation is extremely strict, they can also drum up a lot of things from the Qing army-controlled areas, not to mention that many of these things are also produced in Zhejiang and Fujian, and most of them are the main goods.
As for the foreigners' things, ship boards, sails, ship nails, canvas, white cloth, cotton spinning, glass, they are all needed, but there are not many, and the things that should be bought on the market have been looted, and Zhang Qiang has also seized a lot, which is enough to use for a period of time.
Therefore, Zhang Qiang finally thought about it, and asked them to catch the natives of Baodao, which can be used as free labor, this is the cheapest, one or two silver ten, to be healthy, not women, not children and the elderly, what he means is that through Zheng Chenggong, they will wipe out all the aborigines of Baodao, just like the Americans treat Indians, only in this way can the future Ming people successfully gain a foothold here, and don't make any trouble in the future.
Let people call foreigners, provincials, not locals.
Then there is Luzon, native to Manila, which can also be used for labor.
After the former captives became commoners, in order to make them feel how precious and hard-won their freedom was, to make them feel the spirit of ownership, and to make them feel that they had nothing to do after they were freed, or that they could not adapt to the life of the people, some of them were sent to be overseers to supervise the work of these people, and the militia assisted them.
These people got a total of 20,000 people, plus the 10,000 Nanming refugees who immigrated from Daming that Zheng Chenggong sold to Zhang Qiang, as well as the natives and refugees bought from Feng Xin, a total of 50,000 people, and let them join the construction of the city of Chichicheng.
This left him with hundreds of thousands of costs and troubles to immigrate from Daming, which is equivalent to earning hundreds of thousands.
Feng Xin is gone is other low-status generals, Lin Lin fell, Zhang Qiang sent a total of half of the soldiers in the troops he brought who did not die in battle to help Zheng Chenggong's subordinates train the troops, how to play the tactics of platoon guns and shooting, and how to use artillery to fight on the 6 ground, with arquebuses, and at the same time with cold weapons troops and other tactics.
Zhang Qiang can imagine that when these people encounter the Dutch, Portuguese, and Spaniards in a neat array, pushing cannons to fight Zheng Chenggong, they will appear, oh, how come there is a second army in the Eastern Far East that will use this tactic.
Then, when the Spaniards and the Dutch are exhausted from fighting for territory, when they are ready to fight with Zheng Chenggong for supremacy at sea, they will find that Zheng Chenggong's 6th Army, which had inferior tactics and could only talk to them with knives, has become an army of Westerners, and they will feel threatened and puzzled.
In short, Zhang Qiang earned Zheng Chenggong and his subordinates in this period of time, as well as the gold, silver, goods and other property accumulated in the previous period of time, and what they got was a 6-battle army that could compete with the Spaniards and the Dutch.
Needless to say, although the warships were broken, Zheng Chenggong's experience in naval combat was more experienced than Zhang Qiang's naval divisions, and he didn't need him to teach or earn their money.
Count the goods obtained during this period: 20,000,000 taels of gold and silver, 8,000,000 taels of goods, 20,000 people, and 50,000 slaves.
In addition to the one million taels of silver left behind, let Tang Dianfeng and Xiao Fei build in the early stage of advancement, some goods that can be used are left on the spot, and after the grain is stored in the castle, Zhang Qiang will bring back nearly 20 million taels of gold and silver, 6 million taels of goods needed by the territory, or goods that can be exchanged with Nanming merchants.
