Chapter 775: Dongyi Grand Strategy
Ye Chen finally came to Taiwan.
At this time, there are many workers on the dock who are busy, some are busy unloading, and some are busy with construction.
The wharf had to be expanded, built as it was used, and there could be no delay at all.
"Yuan Zhi, you immediately go and find out the situation in the whole Dongyi, I will take the soldiers around, and we will meet in three days."
Ye Chen didn't know much about Taiwan at this time, and he needed to quickly grasp the situation in the entire Taiwan before he could make the next plan.
"Alas, Taiwan is still too barren, there is almost no population, if it is not developed quickly, I am afraid that Taiwan will not be taken seriously for thousands of years." Ye Chen felt very urgent that explosive development must be carried out, otherwise it would not be possible to quickly make Taiwan a place that future rulers would pay attention to.
After walking for two days, Ye Chen had a general understanding of the current situation in Taiwan.
There are primeval forests everywhere, barren mountains and mountains everywhere, and the whole land is not developed by many people.
"Let me make this a place of abundance." Ye Chen clenched his fists, and then led everyone towards Keelung.
Keelung was the provincial capital of Taiwan in later generations, and it was also named by Ye Chen, and Dongyi's seat was placed there.
After walking for a day, Ye Chen and the others rushed to Keelung and saw Xu Shu and them.
At this time, Xu Shu, Tian Feng, Zhang Jaw, Zhang Liao, Hu Tou, Zhang Yi and others were all there.
"Yuan Zhi, you come to report on the situation in Dongyi." Before the meeting began, Ye Chen first let everyone know about the overall situation in Taiwan.
"My lord, colleagues, our construction in Dongyi is mainly concentrated in two places, one is Keelung Port, which has built many wharves and shipyards around the port, and the other is the construction around Keelung City."
"In Keelung City, we have built a large number of workshops, and at the same time, we have cultivated a lot of farmland. As the lord said, the climate here is very suitable for agriculture, and the rice here can be matured two or three times, and when it is developed, it will be our granary in the future. ”
Xu Shu slowly sorted out all the information he knew.
After Xu Shu finished speaking, Ye Chen asked everyone to digest it, and then said: "At present, we only need to send a small number of ships to patrol the sea, so that we don't need the protection of the army, so our burden in Dongyi is very small." ”
Everyone listened and nodded, Taiwan is on the sea, and today's princes have no ships to reach here, although Cai Mao and Yuan Shu bought large ships from Liaodong to reach Taiwan, but most of them are active on the Yangtze River.
Even if they go to sea, they don't have charts and don't know anything about the hydrology in the area, so something is likely to happen.
Moreover, Taiwan has a large port that can be supplied and repaired, and there is a complete defense on it, so they can only flee in disgrace when they come.
So the defense of Taiwan as a whole is completely fine.
"Therefore, the main task of the army in Dongyi is two points, one is to train and familiarize yourself with the climate here as soon as possible; The second is to clean up the wild beasts and protect the safety of the people here. Ye Chen made two requests to the army.
"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will protect the people here from wild beasts." Zhang Liao hurriedly came out and said.
Ye Chen nodded and said to Zhang Liao: "There is another task, this task can allow Yuan Zhi to assist you." It is to collect and study the situation of the princes in the southeast. ”
"Yes, my lord." Xu Shu replied at the same time as Zhang Liao.
After the general arrangement was completed, Ye Chen looked at Tian Feng and Zhang Jaw and said, "You two, when you come to Dongyi, I don't know how you feel?" ”
"I don't think General Ye plans to let us go, I'm afraid we don't want to go back in this life." Tian Feng asked.
"That's right." Ye Chen said to the two: "You and Jun Yi are both great talents, I will never let the tiger return to the mountain, if the two of you don't want to bury your talents, you can help me in Dongyi, so that you can also fulfill the loyalty of the two." ”
"Alas! Do we still have options? Tian Feng said with a wry smile.
Zhang Jaw's face also darkened, he was loyal and righteous, he was Yuan Shao's courtier, but now he was Ye Chen's prisoner and couldn't go back.
"Okay, I'm in Dongyi, but I don't pay attention to you." Finally, Tian Feng sighed and said.
"Haha, okay, Yuan Hao really knows current affairs, and he doesn't have a relationship with ministers, but sooner or later one day you will be called a minister." Ye Chen didn't care about these nominal things at all.
In the end, Zhang Jaw was helpless, he didn't want to become a waste, so he could only compromise.
Maybe not being a vassal is their best option.
After Tian Feng and Zhang Jaw returned, Ye Chen was in a good mood.
He adjusted his thinking, and then said: "I am fully open to Dongyi, in fact, there are two strategies. ”
"Two strategies?" Xu Shu asked suspiciously.
"Yes, there are two strategies, the first strategy is the internal strategy, that is, to provide food for our Youzhou and activities in the southeast of China, this strategy is relatively clear to everyone."
Ye Chen's words made Xu Shu, Zhang Liao and others nod, on the boat, it was too boring, Ye Chen often had a strategy for them in Taiwan, so they were all more clear.
"This second strategy is external."
"Externally? General Ye, are you saying that you are right for those barbarians? Tian Feng asked noncommittally, he was forced to help Ye Chen, he was in a bad mood, and he was trying to find fault.
Ye Chen shook his head and said: "Actually, the barbarians around us are of the same ancestry as us, but the living conditions are different and change, what I mean to the outside is outside the territory that we used to think, the world is very big, and the outside world is far bigger than we imagined." ”
Everyone shook their heads, not understanding what Ye Chen said about the outside world.
"Everyone has been at sea during this time, and they should know something about what is still the case, and I can explain a situation to you."
"The world we live in is not square, but round." Ye Chen said.
"Hehe, General Ye, what you said is too ridiculous." Tian Feng seized the opportunity and immediately sneered.
Ye Chen was not angry.
"When we take a boat, we meet a lot of merchant ships along the way, why do we see the mast at the top first, and not the whole ship in front of us? Because the sea surface is curved. Ye Chen said again.
Everyone was stunned, and after thinking carefully, they began to believe what Ye Chen said.
Taking advantage of everyone's belief, Ye Chen took out a pen and paper and drew the general outline of the entire world.
"This is our world, our world is round, and my purpose in developing Dongyi is to use this place as a base, and there will be no place on this map in the future." Ye Chen pointed to the simple map and said to everyone.
Everyone couldn't help but be a little surging by what Ye Chen said, their concepts had changed dramatically, it turned out that this world was so vast.
"Yuan Zhi, your next purpose is to establish two bases in the east and west, the east and the west, the east and the west. First of all, we must develop this place, and there is a huge treasure hidden here. ”
Ye Chen pointed to Southeast Asia and told Xu Shu that there were a lot of silver mines here and asked him to mine them.
