Chenghai County Ya, in the Qinzhi Hall, Zhang Bin frowned and pondered at the map of Fujian spread out on the desk.

The affairs of the Fujian Xingdu Division have been arranged, and the assembly of the garrison must be no problem, and the next thing to consider is to exterminate the pirates.

How can this pirate be suppressed?

The experience of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou cannot be used for reference at all, because the nature of their pirates at that time was completely different from that of pirates now.

The pirates of the Jiajing and Longqing dynasties basically had the nature of the Kou, the so-called Kou was an invasion, and people basically came to the door, so you don't need to look for it.

The pirates of the Apocalypse and Chongzhen dynasties are different, they are not pure pirates, but also merchants and thieves, that is, they rarely come to land to plunder, most of the time, they are at sea, either trading or robbing other people's trade.

It's not going to be easy, if you want to kill them, you have to find them first, and they won't send them to your door.

The question of where the pirates are, naturally, Zheng Zhilong, who was born as a pirate, knows best.

Zhang Bin rubbed his temples and said aloud to the door: "Someone." ”

Zhang Cha entered in response and arched his hand: "What do you command?" ”

Zhang Bin waved his hand directly: "Let Zheng Zhilong and General Zheng come over." ”

Zhang Cha took the order and left, and after a while, Zheng Zhilong came as ordered.

Zhang Bin directly raised his hand and beckoned him to the desk, and asked directly: "Zhilong, you should be familiar with the situation of other pirates, how many shares are there, can you tell me?" ”

Zheng Zhilong is naturally familiar with this question, he took refuge in the imperial court in order to borrow the power of the imperial court to clean up other pirates, this will hear Zhang Bin's tone, he knows that this governor is ready to deal with other pirates.

He rolled his eyes and excitedly introduced: "There are roughly more than 20 pirates on the southeast coast, several shares of more than 10,000 people, more than 10 shares of thousands of people, and more than 10 shares of less than 1,000 people, all of which add up to 200,000." ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he frowned and said, "What about the vicinity of Fujian?" ”

Zheng Zhilong said like a few treasures: "There are about more than ten pirates near Fujian, including Liu Xiang and Li Kuiqi with more than 10,000 people, Zhong Bin, Yang Liu, and Yang Qi with thousands of people, and those with less than 1,000 people, it's nothing, like Shi Daxuan, Hong Xu and Gan Hui, these generals are very familiar, as long as they can give them a position of general or even thousand, the general can persuade them to surrender." ”

It is naturally best to be able to appease, Zhang Bin nodded and said: "Well, if you can appease, you can appease them, you can give Shi Daxuan and them a thousand general positions first, as for higher positions, it is still the same sentence, if you want to be promoted, use military merits in exchange." If the other pirates don't accept the appeasement, they will have to be exterminated, do you know where their lair is? ”

Zheng Zhilong said with some embarrassment: "This, their lair may be more than one, and the last general only roughly knows that they have a nest in the middle of Dongfan, and the last general in other places is not very clear." ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he looked at the map again and fell into deep thought.

Dongfan is the Taiwan of later generations, this he knows, originally Dongfan belonged to the Fujian Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, until the Wanli period, Dongfan was still under the jurisdiction of the Penghu Inspection Division, but, in the Apocalypse year, Dongfan inexplicably fell into the hands of the Dutch!

In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the governor of Fujian, Nan Juyi, obviously defeated the Dutch navy, but unfortunately, when he returned to Beijing to recall, he was directly dismissed and cut down by Wei Zhongxian, otherwise, it would be impossible for the Dutch to occupy Dongfan.

The pirate's lair turned out to be in Dongfan, which is a bit troublesome, because now Da Ming doesn't know anything about the specific situation of Dongfan!

He thought about it and simply asked directly: "How is the situation in Dongfan now, do you know?" ”

Zheng Zhilong is naturally familiar with these, because he started in Dongfan, Zhang Bin's words just fell, he immediately replied: "Now Dongfan is mainly the power of the Dutch and the Spaniards, the Netherlands occupy the southern part of Dongfan Dayuan and Chiji, the Spaniards occupy the chicken coop and fresh water in the north of Dongfan, Liu Xiang, Li Kuiqi, Zhong Bin, Yang Liu, Yang Qi are hidden in the middle, and the last general also occupies a large place in the middle of Dongfan." ”

This Zheng Zhilong actually has a territory in Dongfan, so it will be easy to do, Zhang Bin heard this, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "Oh, you still have territory over there, where is it, can you find the approximate location on the map?" ”

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he immediately pointed to the coast near Penghu in the south-central part of the East and said, "The territory of the last general is probably in this location. ”

After that, he pointed to the coast in the north-central part of the country and said, "Liu Xiang and Li Kuiqi's lair is probably here. ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, his eyes lit up, and he asked: "Is Penghu now occupied by no one?" ”

Zheng Zhilong nodded and said, "Yes, since the Dutch withdrew, no one has occupied it. ”

Zhang Bin stared at the Penghu Islands on the map, and a plan slowly formed in his mind.

This plan is not only a plan to exterminate pirates, but also a plan to recover Dongban and cultivate its own power.

In the first step, he was ready to send troops to occupy Penghu, build ports and defenses there, and turn Penghu into a transit point.

Then, using Penghu as a springboard, he transferred the grain, grass, baggage, and army to Zheng Zhilong's territory, and sent men and ships to find the nests of other pirates.

Combing all the way through, it is estimated that it will take less than half a year to fight from south to north and clean up all the pirate nests near Fujian, which is equivalent to exterminating the pirates around Fujian, because the pirates have lost the supply points around Fujian, and it will be difficult to threaten Fujian anymore.

Once the pirate lair is cleared, it's time to think about cleaning up the Dutch and Spaniards.

As long as the Dutch and Spaniards are driven away, the whole of Dongfan is equivalent to their own territory, and with the territory, many things can be unfolded.

For example, building a base and training a private army, anyway, Dongfan is separated by a strait, as long as you don't deliberately send someone to investigate, you don't know how many troops you have.

For another example, the establishment of a port and the development of foreign trade, after all, Yuegang belongs to the imperial court, and once he leaves Fujian, he will not be able to control it, and Dongfan can be completely controlled in his own hands.

Another example is the reclamation of wasteland and the resettlement of displaced people, once the drought breaks out, there will definitely be displaced people everywhere, and the east is surrounded by the sea, and the drought will definitely not be affected, and I don't know how many civilians can be saved at that time.

Thinking of the problem of the displaced people, Zhang Bin suddenly remembered Mao Wenlong, there are millions of civilians in Liaodong who want to get rid of the control of Houjin at this time, perhaps, he can join forces with Mao Wenlong and secretly transfer the civilians of Liaodong to Dongfan, which not only saves the civilians of Liaodong, but even saves Mao Wenlong, so that he will not be killed by Yuan Chonghuan inexplicably.

Thinking about it, Zhang Bin showed a firm expression on his face, exterminate the pirates, recover Dongfan, and do it!
