Attacking Jiaozhou was a strategy that Zhang Yi had already set. Anyone who has reached a certain level knows it. Because Jiaozhou is close to the sea, the navy also knows about it. However, because the focus of the navy is now on the north, there is no development in the south at all, and they have forgotten about Jiaozhou.

Now as soon as Li Jun submitted to the state, Pan Zhang immediately shut up. Qingzhou's side is only a temporary task, and it can be abandoned at any time, but it can't be done on the Jiaozhou side.

The two immediately returned to the seaport, arrived at the seaport of Buqi County, joined Gan Ning, and then began to return home.

In October, Zhang Yi set off from Shouchun to Shanghai.

This year, he was constantly thinking about the affairs of Jiaozhou, and this time he not only sent a large number of troops, but he also transferred Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai to the navy, and also formed a fleet for the two. Zhang Yi's navy's fleet is fixed, with three island ships, six reef ships, and 12 sea fish ships, plus a number of small boats, and a fleet needs three or four thousand naval personnel.

After Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were transferred to the navy, the navy had as many as six fleets. There are also Gan Ning, Li Jun, Pan Zhang and Zheng Chenggong. Since Zheng Chenggong was summoned, he was sent to the navy by Zhang Yi. However, he did not go to the north with Gan Ning and the others, but went to the south. He had just arrived in the navy and his position was relatively low, so Zhang Yi asked him to take the navy to exterminate pirates.

Although maritime trade was not prevalent in this era, there were still pirates. You must know that there are pirates in Qingzhou, and there are pirates in Xuyang. However, in this era, although pirates existed, they were rare. However, with the development of Xu Yang's sea trade, there were more pirates. It was very difficult to suppress bandits at sea, but it was a great achievement to not exterminate a single group of bandits.

Zheng Chenggong's naval battle was very powerful, and more than ten pirates were wiped out in more than half a year, and the trade route was much safer. Relying on shipping, Zhang Yi's business blueprint is already very strong. The dockyards in Shanghai are not only early warships, but also building merchant ships. However, the merchant ships are all transformed by the eliminated warships, and after Shen Kuo, the replacement of warships is very fast, and the sea fishing boats have long been the first to complete the replacement, and they were sold by Zhang Yi to those families and wealthy merchants who are willing to take the land out of exchange.

The family and the wealthy businessmen began to carry out shipping through sea ships, the coastline of Xuyang is very long, and the downstream of the river and Huaishui can be entered, and there are many places that can be used for trade.

However, after becoming rich, many people are very satisfied with Zhang Yi's tax policy. Because the commercial tax collected by Zhang Yi was the highest among all the princes, several times higher than that stipulated by the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty had very few commercial taxes because China was an agrarian country and only valued agricultural taxes. This is a very unreasonable place, there are too many business profits, but there are few taxes, no wonder those rulers can kill those huge rich at will, what the people want!

Zhang Yi did not want such a thing to happen, and the business tax he prescribed was charged as a percentage according to the industry, ranging from 10% to 35%. The tax of sea trade is the highest, because sea trade makes the most profits, and some people want to pay less tax.

Zhang Yi transferred Di Renjie to the Zhengdong General's Mansion and asked him to set up a tax department to focus on bulk commerce and trade to collect taxes. Di Renjie's blue sky characteristics made Zhang Yi trust him very much. Di Renjie is also an old Jianghu, as soon as he took office, he easily found out the tax evasion, and the punishment was not very serious, and it did not involve personal safety at all, but he fined them, not only paid the missed tax, but also fined three to ten times the fine.

After Zhang Yi arrived in Shanghai, he immediately summoned the six commanders of the navy's fleet, as well as the six army generals, as well as the newly appointed Jiaozhou Assassin Shi and the eight newly appointed Taishou.

The six naval fleet commanders were naturally Gan Ning, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Li Jun, Pan Zhang, and Zheng Chenggong; The six army generals were Ding Feng, Sun Wuzhong, Wang Xiong, Lü Fan, He Qi, and Yu Dayou; The new Jiaozhou assassin is Zhu Zhi, and the Taishou of Wu County was handed over to Gu Yong; The eight newly appointed Taishou were Gu Shao of Nanhai County, Shi Tao of Cangwu County, Meng Jian of Hepu County, Li Yan of Yulin County, Gu Hui of Jiaozhi County, Jiuzhen County Taishou Yan, Ninan County Taishou Dai Yuan, and Zhuya County Taishou Wang Xiang of Zhuyazhou.

"This time I have prepared an army of 50,000 troops, and I hope that you will completely occupy Jiaozhou before the end of winter. It is very hot here in Jiaozhou all year round, and the miasma is not satisfied in the rainforest, and only in winter is the best time to move troops. Before entering the forest, you should all bring prepared gas masks (charcoal can be burned a long time ago and is easy to obtain) to avoid non-combat attrition due to inhalation of miasma. ”

"I didn't stipulate the combat deployment, Jiaozhou's combat effectiveness is not strong, and you are fully capable of attacking it. Lin Fengxiang's side attacked Cangwu County; Sun Wuzhong and Jiang Qin attacked Jiaozhi County; Li Jun and Pan Zhang sent Yu Dayou and Ding Feng to Hepu County, and after Yu Dayou and Ding Feng laid down Hepu, they went north to Yulin County, Pan Zhang went south to Zhuyazhou, and Li Jun went back and forth to transport supplies and support various places. Gan Ning and Wang Xiong attacked Jiaozhi County; Zhou Tai and He Qi attacked Jiuzhen County; Zheng Chenggong and Lü Fan attacked Rinan County. ”

"Yulin County is connected to Jiaozhi County and Yizhou, and when you arrive, look for a way from these two counties to see if you can go with the army. If we can pass through the army, this will be our third road into Sichuan. And a few people from Dao Jiuzhen County and Ninan County, don't think that I have put them in remote places, the land of Jiuzhen County and Ninan County is fertile, very suitable for growing rice, and it can be harvested three times a year, and after taking these two counties, it can feed millions or even tens of millions of people. He Qi and Lu Fan, your responsibility is important, you must expand your territory in the safest way, increase the land of these two, and you will all be famous in history in the future! ”

"Zhou Tai and Zheng Chenggong, you two have to continue to the south to explore if there are any threats or resources around, you are our pioneers overseas."

After Zhang Yi finished the mobilization meeting, the navy carried 50,000 troops and left the port with the officials appointed by Zhang Yi.

After Zhang Yi sent the army away, he took Jia Siqian to inspect the land in Jiangnan. Jia Siqian was summoned by Liu Biao when he perished. However, when he was summoned, Zhang Yi was thinking about the talents of Jingzhou and ignored him, and the bumper harvest in Jingzhou made Zhang Yi temporarily unable to take care of Jia Sixian.

"Jia Sixian, Force: 68, Strategy: 75, Strategy: 70, Internal Affairs: 92, Education: 99, Diplomacy: 75. Characteristics: Agronomy. ”
