The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

Zhang Kentang was silent, he understood the reason, and he also knew that what Qin Haoming said was the truth, but this matter was too important, and he didn't have the courage to block the car with his mantis arm.

"Forget it, since Governor Zhang is in trouble, this matter will be handled by the Governor's Mansion alone."

Seeing this, Qin Haoming was disheartened, too lazy to say anything, picked up the teacup, and drank the tea in one gulp. After talking for a long time, my mouth was thirsty.

Zhang Kentang thought that Qin Haoming was serving tea to send off guests, so he was ashamed to say goodbye and leave.

Qin Haoming did not keep it, and the Tao was different.

The matter of levying commercial taxes has touched too many interest groups, and even he himself has to plan and arrange it before he can carry it out.

Autumn is getting stronger, the yellow leaves are rolling the ground, and the hibiscus trees in the courtyard are all green and withered, and a stump branch.

Three days later, the Fujian guard guards were reorganized, and only 2,000 young men of the nearly 8,000 were selected to be incorporated into the Zhejiang army to receive training together, and the other 5,000 people were all turned into engineering troops.

Nowadays, the whole city of Fuzhou is under construction, and the barracks, officers' quarters, military bureaus, clothing factories, etc., are in need of a large number of manpower.

At this time, the role and efficiency of the chamber are reflected.

The scholars of Guozijian and the recruited masters, under the leadership and command of Yan Yingyuan, Hong Dixin, and Li Shouye, supported a big situation.

Otherwise, Qin Haoming would have to do everything himself, and he wouldn't be tired to death.

Now, all he had to do was sit in the office of the Governor's Palace, remember what needed to be built, and instruct the chamberlain to arrange for someone to follow up and take charge.

In the early winter in the south of the Yangtze River, the night is as cold as frost.

In the courtyard in the southeast corner of the Governor's Palace, a house with a single courtyard was requisitioned, and a plaque of the lecture hall was hung under the eaves.

Inside the house, there were about dozens of people, who were the first batch of martial arts hall students composed of Qin Haoming's personal guard generals and Guozijian scholars.

"Ladies and gentlemen, yesterday this governor introduced to you the geography of the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty, and tonight I will introduce to you the situation of the whole world, so that you will not sit in the well and watch the sky and not know the size of the world.

Come on, remove the veil! ”

Several pro-soldiers stepped forward and tore down a huge curtain next to Kanyu, which turned out to be a long, wide and square platform, with blue, green, yellow and white mixed colors, ups and downs and strange shapes, and it was actually a panoramic view.

Wu Feng immediately stood up and said: "This picture has been seen by the students, it is Xu Guangqi, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and it is obtained from the Western priest Matteo Ricci's "The Complete Map of the World". ”

Qin Haoming didn't say the reason, but said with a smile: "It is this diagram that is borrowed, combined with the additions of Portugal and Spaniards.

Now let me see if our dynasty is a central country, and is the world full of wilderness?

When you look at this picture, you might as well ask yourself, how much Han and Tang Dynasty aftermath are there?

Come here! ”

Seeing that everyone looked interested, Qin Haoming pointed at Kanyu with a whip and said: "This is the Ming Dynasty, this is Taiwan, this is Luzon, and this is Jiaozhi."

This is Batavia and Malacca, and with a continent to the south, it is the whole South Sea.

Out of Malacca to the west, is the fertile continent of Africa, north is Tianzhu, back to the west to the west of Europe.

To the east, across the boundless ocean, is the American continent, which is rich in grain, gold and silver, and is now a colony of Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands. ”

Looking at the curious gazes, Qin Haoming shook his head and said with a wry smile: "During the Yongle period, when the sailor fleet of the Sanbao eunuchs was rampant in the southwest ocean, Xiyi's broken ships were still fishing and plundering.

But a hundred years later, the power of others has spread all over the world, leaving my Ming far behind.

It's a pity that even if I want to copy the invincible ocean-going fleet of our court, I haven't even left a single drawing, and I have ruined the uninformed literati princes in the court. ”

Peeking at Qin Haoming, who was smiling bitterly, Zhang Yun rubbed his hands and smiled: "Qin Du, since we have fallen in love with the sea, where is there a good life in Xiyi?"

You ordered, these continents and countries are all included in Xiaolong. ”

Looking at Zhang Yun, who didn't know how high or low, Qin Haoming pointed at his head and said, "Just after defeating a nest of pirates, are you arrogant and ignorant, sitting in a well and watching the sky?"

Not to mention the entire Xiyi, even the Dutch in Penghu, they are not something you can deal with. Do you know how the Dutch sailors are? ”

Seeing Zhang Yun shaking his head, Qin Haoming sighed: "There are more than 100 large-scale shipyards in the Netherlands, which can build 300 merchant ships at the same time, and all the warships in the Netherlands add up to no less than thousands.

Now even if Daming makes every effort to build for a year, it is less than half of others, and even so, Daming currently does not have so many sailors who operate ships and guns. ”

Seeing that everyone was stunned, Qin Haoming encouraged again: "Of course, we don't have to be arrogant, although Xiyi is powerful now, it is not invincible!"

They had a lot of ships, but the Governor still had a way to deal with it. ”

Xu Hongxuan was short of breath, and only after a while did he come back and ask: "Governor Qin, Xiyi is so powerful, why is there only a few thousand people in Luzon."

The Hongmaofan, who invaded our South China Sea and occupied my Penghu, how come there are only a dozen warships and more than a thousand foot soldiers? ”

Qin Haoming said coldly: "Xiyi is invincible, arrogant, and underestimates the strength of my Ming Dynasty.

But even with such a lack of strength, it still ran rampant throughout the sea, and even Zheng Zhilong was afraid of them. ”

Li Xiang said happily: "No matter how strong Xiyi is, it is not a near trouble, and Jiannu is a big problem." ”

Qin Haoming shook his head and said: "In fact, in the heart of this governor, although Jiannu is strong, they are far from being the enemies of the Ming Dynasty, and they can't occupy the Ming Dynasty.

The internal and external troubles of my Ming Dynasty are not in Liaodong, they are close to the people's livelihood, and in the long run, they are in Xiyi, and the governor is chasing after them. As for the immediate concern for the people's livelihood, the Governor is also trying to make up for it. ”

Wu Feng showed a thoughtful look and asked in confusion: "Xiyi is not available for a short time, so where is our navy pointing?" ”

Qin Haoming didn't look at Wu Feng either, pointed to Nanyang on Kanyu and shouted: "Good question, this governor wants a sword to guide the ocean, and this governor wants the entire Nanyang." ”

Zhang Yun looked at the last place where his brother landed his finger, and couldn't help but sneer: "Is that a good country?" ”

Qin Haoming looked down, and hurriedly smiled evilly: "I'm sorry, I pointed it wrong." But how can the dignified governors of the two provinces not count when they speak?

If you are wrong, you have to admit it, and the governor will laugh at it. ”

It was the first time he heard that Qin Du had such lofty ambitions, and everyone in the room was short of breath and looked at each other.

Qin Haoming ignored these and said with a smile: "The grain and mulberry hemp in Zhongnan, the silver and manpower of the Wa Kingdom, the brass port in Luzon, and the wood and iron ore in the South Seas.

The routes to Africa and Europe, the trade routes to the Americas, while talking with Xiyi about liaison and feelings, while giving money to the Central Plains to develop military strength.

This is the intention of the Governor, and it will take three years to achieve it, which is not too greedy, right? ”10
