At the end of August, Pan Changqiu brought a group of civil subordinates over, and under the guidance of Wang Rui, began to establish tunpu in various parts of Gaomi Jiaozhou. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The land was directly snatched from these landlords and gentry, and the tunhu in Tunpu were displaced people from all over Shandong and Liaodong. Now that Lord Wang has given everyone a bite to eat, although life is a little harder, there is a glimmer of hope for life.

The food expenses of the first year of joining Tunpu were completely borrowed from Lord Wang.

As long as you promise to serve in the military and participate in the training of peasants and soldiers in the Fushan system, you can also pay for the borrowed materials and food by half. Moreover, when those who meet the conditions go to participate in the training of peasants and soldiers, they can eat three meals a day with oil and meat.

This peasant soldier was trained for 15 days a month, and after participating in the complete training for two months, he could receive a subsidy of half a tael of silver.

Moreover, Lord Wang later arranged the time of the peasant training very cleverly, and the long-term training was arranged as much as possible during the agricultural slack or when the harvest was not available.

In this way, the soldiers will be trained, but it will not affect the agricultural production. Poor households can also go to mix rice when life is hard to save some food for their families.

Especially by the way, you can also get a little silver tael to make up for the family, and the whole family will not be hungry.

Of course, it is precisely because of Wang Rui's series of policies, which in the eyes of the Ming gentry officials, are completely stupid, that they have brought a steady stream of human resources to Fushan Bay in the future.

The useless burden in the eyes of the Ming officials became a source of workers and soldiers that Wang Rui could not ask for. Under the strict organization of the Fushan system, it has condensed into a powerful force that is proud of the world.

"Go to Denglai Fushan Bay!" Under the leadership of Wang Rui, Denglai later became a new place for beggars from the Ming Dynasty in Shandong, Henan, Beizhili and other northern provinces, and became the first choice for refugees from Liaodong when they crossed the sea.

By mid-September, the Fushan Army not only completely controlled and restored order in the two counties of Gaomi Jiaozhou, but also helped Pan Changqiu establish dozens of tunbao, and began to renovate farmland and water conservancy facilities in preparation for winter wheat and next spring's production.

Wang Rui saw that Pan Changqiu did a very good job of the things he explained, and went to Tunpu below every day to guide and inspect, and the person was also thinner than before, if he saw him far away, he thought he was a young farmer.

Wang Rui, who is the boss, began to gradually relax his heart.

At the end of September, Wang Rui finally dealt with the incident of smelling incense and causing chaos. However, the reaction of the imperial court was a little cold, after all, this matter was in the Laizhou Mansion defended by Wang Rui.

Although these thieves killed the officials of the court and occupied the prefectures and counties, fortunately, Wang Sen will put them out in time, and the court and Denglai are also relieved.

Fortunately, Wang Rui didn't expect to be promoted and make a fortune this time, and he was satisfied if he could achieve the goals he planned.

On the 18th of October, except for the two thousand headquarters left behind by Xu Fu to be stationed in Jiaozhou and Gaomi, the remaining nearly 10,000 soldiers began to embark on the journey back to Fushan Bay one after another.

The goal of delaying time and avoiding going to Guanning has been achieved, and it is time to go back and prepare for a major battle with Jiannu.

Not long after Wang Rui led an army of nearly 10,000 people back to Fushan Bay, Pan Xuezhong also came across the sea with a huge fleet.

This time, he not only brought more ships, but also carried more supplies than before. A total of 300,000 taels worth of supplies and silver grains were piled up like the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the army warehouse in Fushan Bay.

made Wang Rui, the initiator of the big spending, also fascinated.

The organizational strength and mobilization power of this giant businessman and wealthy man made Wang Rui, a boss and officer who had seen a lot of the world in later generations, also admired from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is because Wang Rui has no experience in large-scale shipping. In fact, the maritime power of the Ming Dynasty once could be said to be the best in the world.

Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that how many years have passed since Zheng He went to the West?

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, led more than 200 ships and more than 27,000 people to anchor from Liujiagang in Taicang (now Liuhe Town, Taicang City, Jiangsu), to Changle Taiping Port in Wuhumen, Minjiang Estuary, Fuzhou, and sailed to the western Pacific and Indian Oceans.

He has visited more than 30 countries and regions, and has visited more than 30 countries such as Java, Sumatra, Sulu, Pahang, Chenla, Guli, Siam, Punggara, Adan, Tianfang, Zhofar, Kurumus, Mugudushu, etc., and is known to have reached as far as East Africa and the Red Sea.

Zheng He's voyage to the West was the largest in ancient China, with the largest number of ships (more than 240), the largest number of seafarers, and the longest sea voyage, more than half a century earlier than the voyage time of European countries, which was a direct reflection of the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng He's voyages far surpassed those of the navigators of Portugal, Spain and other countries nearly a century later, such as Magellan, Columbus, da Gama, etc., and can be called the pioneer of the "Age of Discovery", the only Oriental, and even put forward the theory of sea power five hundred years earlier than Mahan.

It is even said that Zheng He was the first to discover America, Australia, and Antarctica.

The most credible statement is to promote the virtue of the Ming Dynasty, and the "History of the Ming Dynasty: The Biography of Zheng He", which has always been capable of vilifying and smearing the Han people and the Ming Dynasty, also recorded: "And I want to show off the army in a foreign land and show that China is rich and strong."

However, the strong combat power of Zheng He's fleet in the Western Ocean was not false.

Zheng He's fleet in the Western Ocean was an extremely large fleet, which was completely organized according to maritime navigation and military organization, and it could be called a powerful maritime mobile formation in the world at that time.

Many foreign scholars refer to Zheng He's fleet as a task force and Zheng He as a naval commander or naval commander.

After a comprehensive analysis of the world history of this period, Dr. Joseph Needham of Great Britain, a renowned international scholar, came to the conclusion that "the Ming navy was probably superior to any Asian nation in history, and even any European country of its time, so much so that all European nations combined, could be said to be incomparable to the Ming navy." ”

"Second brother, you have to go back immediately! Take as many goods as you can, don't delay! I hope you'll be back in late October. In particular, bring me more boats, food, and iron! When the brothers were drinking at dinner that day, Wang Rui said to Pan Xuezhong.

"Third brother, why are you in such a hurry? What can I do for my Fushan Army when I go back this time? Pan Xuezhong knew that Wang Rui must have his own reasons, so he put down his wine glass and asked seriously.

"Big brother, second brother, you see, this Jiannu took advantage of the civil strife in my Ming Dynasty, and now he has defeated North Korea, a vassal country of my Ming Dynasty. In the past two years, this Manchu has integrated the internal forces, and I estimate that it will soon come to intrude on my Daming! Wang Rui explained.

Although he knows the direction of history, as a pragmatist who believes in science, he still tries to use analysis to make the people around him accept his plan. Instead of a rabble like the Smelling Fragrance Sect, the gods are babbling and pretending to be ghosts.

"The third brother's analysis makes sense! Now the situation in western Liaoning seems to be calm, but in fact, it is just that Manchu is brewing a bigger invasion. I had to prepare early! Pan Xuezhong nodded and said.

He was proficient in practice, and he had been running around Liaodong for a long time, and he saw the invasion of Manchu more clearly and accurately than the vast majority of Ming literati.

"In this case, we must pay close attention to the training of our battalion leaders! And this gun, you have to build it quickly! Ma Ju also interjected.

"I can't wait for this captives to invade, Lao Tzu really wants to fight with these pig-tailed captives!" Chen Ming also said excitedly.

"My lord! There is an emergency military situation! Director Zhang is here. Chen Song reported loudly outside the door.

"Oh, what emergency military intelligence?" Ma Ju, Pan Xuezhong and others were taken aback.

"Call Zhang Er in! Full of Iron Riders?! Invincible? I've been waiting for you for a long time! Wang Rui said viciously.
