In the area on both sides of the Tumen River at the end of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to many mountain plains that can be cultivated and cultivated into good farmland, the mountains in this area are also growing giant trees that have not been cut down for thousands of years.

These giant trees are naturally good materials for shipbuilding.

On the way to Tumen Town's Guard Mansion to take office, You Jinghe talked about some things with Yu Shi Daqi, the new supervisor of Dongjiang Town, who came to Dongjiang Town to serve together.

On the one hand, he asked Lu Daqi, the new superintendent of the imperial history, to help him find some young generals and shipwrights from among the sailors of Dongjiang Town and transfer them to his command.

On the other hand, he also asked the new overseer to help him contact the emperor's Toei Trading Company on Phi Island, and give him priority in purchasing giant logs for shipbuilding.

Lu Daqi went to Dongjiang Town to serve as the imperial history of the supervising army, and he needed You Jinghe, who was born in Dongjiang Town and was trusted by the emperor, so he naturally would not refuse his request.

Moreover, Lu Daqi was born in the cabinet of the emperor, although his grade as the superintendent of the army is not high, but the weight of his words is still very heavy.

At the same time, they are also familiar with the heads of the Dongying Trading Company appointed by Emperor Chongzhen.

After the two arrived in Dongjiang Town, Lu Daqi took the opportunity to hand over the affairs of the military supervision with Mao Weizhang to seek Mao Weizhang's opinion, and Mao Weizhang did not hesitate to recommend two of his many generals in Yingzhou Town, that is, Lin Chuanbao, the Chinese army commander of Yingzhou Town, and Chen Qiusheng, the general manager of Qian.

These two people are the people who Mao Weizhang picked up after he surrendered on Yingzhou Island, and when he left office, he wanted to take this opportunity to ask Lu Daqi a few words.

First, it is not easy for the Yingzhou Town Guard Mansion to be able to count today, and after the new supervisor of the army comes, he can't toss around blindly on the issue of treating the Yingzhou Town Guard, resulting in the destruction of his three years of hard work and achievements.

Second, the current departments of the Yingzhou Town Guard Mansion are in the critical stage of blockading the Tsushima Domain, and they have been transferred by the imperial court, and there are many things to ask the new overseer, Yu Shilu Daqi.

Fortunately, Lu Daqi has served in the position of a scholar in the cabinet for so long, and he knows very well the attitude and strategy of Emperor Chongzhen on the issue of Dongjiang Town, as well as on the issue of guarding the palace in Yingzhou Town.

After Lu Daqi and Mao Weizhang met on Phi Dao, they quickly reached a basic agreement on various issues.

As for Lu Daqi's request to Mao Weizhang to help recommend a few young generals who are familiar with shipbuilding and sailors, for Mao Weizhang, who was about to leave office, it was like someone handing him a pillow when he was sleepy, and at that time, he recommended Lin Chuanbao and Chen Qiusheng to the new supervisor Lu Daqi.

It's just that these two people are far away in Yingzhou Town, and at this time, they haven't had time to receive a letter and order from the new Dongjiang Town Supervisor Yu Shi Lu Daqi to the new Yingzhou Town Guard's Mansion Chen Jisheng.

Speaking of which, Mao Weizhang was somewhat inexplicable about Emperor Chongzhen's transfer of himself from Dongjiang Town, especially from Yingzhou Town, at this time.

For the role of the superintendent of Dongjiang Town, Mao Weizhang knew that he was far away on Yingzhou Island, and he really didn't play a big role.

However, the Yingzhou Town Guard Mansion can have today's achievements, with more than 10 garrison castles around the island, more than 100,000 people registered, 15,000 soldiers and horses on land and water, and self-sufficiency in food and grass, although all of this cannot be said to be the credit of his Yingzhou Town Guard, but it is also inseparable from him.

And now the entire Yingzhou Town Guard Mansion is making every effort to blockade the Tsushima Domain of the Wa Kingdom, and it seems that it is about to receive results, and transferring him at this time is really reluctant and incomprehensible.

However, in any case, after Mao Weizhang received the imperial court's will brought by the thousands of households in Dongjiang Town, Jinyiwei, he did not dare to delay, and immediately sent someone to recall Chen Jisheng, Kong Youde and other generals, read out the imperial court's will in public, and handed over the post of Yingzhou Town Guardian with Chen Jisheng.

Then he took the ship from Phi Dao and rushed to Phi Dao to hand over the post of the imperial history of Dongjiang Town with Lu Daqi.

Mao Weizhang was transferred away this time, although he himself was a little reluctant, but in the eyes of many generals and officials in Dongjiang Town, this was a high promotion.

In the past two years, although the Yingzhou Town Shoufu has been well managed by Mao Weizhang, the Yingzhou Town Shoufu is isolated overseas after all, and it is just a small island far away from the Ming Dynasty and the mainland, receiving sinners and homeless people.

In the eyes of people in this era, whether a place is good or not and whether it is worth visiting is not determined by the place itself, but by its distance from the Ming Dynasty.

Or to be more precise, a person's career in the Ming Dynasty is floating or sinking, rising or falling, whether the career is smooth or the ups and downs of the sea, does not simply depend on your grade.

There is also a very important indicator, that is, whether you enter Beijing and enter the court, or go to a local foreign post.

Entering Beijing and entering the court is not necessarily a promotion, but the prefect of a place, even if he is in charge of a certain ministry or department when he enters Beijing, everyone will think that this is a promotion, even if he himself will think so.

And if the head of a certain department of the Beijing Imperial Court is arranged to be the governor of a certain state in Qiongzhou Prefecture, the grade will be promoted, but it will definitely be regarded as a fall of favor and debasement by everyone above the government and the opposition.

Speaking of which, the place of Yingzhou Town Shoufu is much closer than the current Hainan governor's jurisdiction, but in the eyes of almost everyone, this place has replaced Qiongzhou Mansion as the end of the world.

Even the generals and colonels in Dongjiang Town's own Fifth Route General Army, few of them are willing to go anywhere to serve.

Therefore, let alone the big and small officials in the court.

Today, there are no other eunuchs on this island except for Wang Dehua, the eunuch who was in charge of the Seogwipo Trading Company of the Dongying Trading Company, and there are no other civil officials except for Zhang Yuan, the former governor of Suide Prefecture who was confiscated to the island because of his family's crimes.

Of course, now this former Suide Zhizhou Zhang Yuan, although he plays the role of a scribe who writes and paints in the Yingzhou Town Guard's Mansion, he has been deprived of his Jinshi status and is no longer a civil official.

However, it is precisely because of this that in the past two years or so, whether it is the hundred officials of the court who are far away in Beijing, whether it is Mao Wenlong, the Marquis of Anton, who is close at hand, and Liu Xingzuo, the Bo of Pyongyang, they are all just thinking about the idea of fighting North Korea, and no one has the idea of attacking Yingzhou Island.

In this way, it gave Mao Weizhang, the town guard, the most space, so that he could quietly manage Yingzhou Island according to his original ideas.

The population of Yingzhou Island is increasing, the farmland on the island is crisscrossed, and there are horse farms, salt pans, and seaports for trade, which can be regarded as a paradise overseas.

However, Mao Weizhang, as a traditional civil official from Jinshi, is also the goal of his life.

In mid-August, Mao Weizhang received the order and followed the Jinyi Wei messengers to Phi Island, where the Marshal's Mansion in Dongjiang Town was located, and was greeted by Mao Wenlong, Marquis of Anton, Liu Xingzuo, Pyongyang, the new superintendent of the army, Yu Shi Daqi, and the general of the Fifth Route General Military Office in Dongjiang Town.

Although Mao Wenlong and Mao Weizhang are quite at odds in private, they still have to do their face-saving efforts, and he is happy about Mao Weizhang's departure.

In the past two or three years, although Mao Weizhang lived on Yingzhou Island and mainly performed his duties as the guard of Yingzhou Town, he also successfully poached many generals who were originally valued by Mao Wenlong from Mao Wenlong, such as Chen Jisheng and Chen Jixian brothers, and then Kong Youde and Kong Youxing brothers.

Needless to say, Brother Chen Jisheng didn't change his surname to Mao anyway.

But the Kong Youde brothers, but they were their own people who were placed by Mao Wenlong in the military standard camp of Mao Weizhang.

However, in the past two or three years, the original Dongjiang Supervision Army Standard Battalion has become the current Yingzhou Town Guard Fuzhong Army.

And Kong Youde not only restored his original surname because of his repeated contributions, but also completely branded Mao Weizhang and came together with Mao Weizhang and Chen Jisheng.

Even Kong Youde's brother Kong Youxing has become a person who guards the mansion in Yingzhou Town.

Of course, Kong Youxing is still surnamed Mao now, and Mao is still sexual, but Mao Wenlong can no longer trust this godgrandson as he did in the past.

When these two people were in the past, their future and fate were completely attached to Mao Wenlong's body, and Mao Wenlong was naturally relieved.

But now that Kong Youde has been named a first-class viscount, how can he let his brother Mao Youxing, a fellow mother, be surnamed Mao for a long time?

At the same time, Li Xingzhong, the chief soldier of the Naval Division of Dongjiang Town, took the main force of the Naval Division of Dongjiang Town to the area of Yingzhou Island for half a year, and he was also very close to Mao Weizhang.

These things made Mao Wenlong's heart wish that Mao Weizhang should leave quickly.

Therefore, when Mao Weizhang came to Phi Island from Yingzhou Island, handed over to Lu Daqi, and resigned to the generals of Dongjiang Town, he was very warmly received.

Mao Wenlong has his thoughts, and other generals also have their own thoughts.

Mao Weizhang, the former supervisor, went back this time, not to dismiss the official, but to be promoted, but to serve as the right protector of the Navy Governor's Office.

And the territory that the new right protector of the Navy Governor's Office will supervise in the future will still include the entire sea port where Dongjiang Town is located and the ships of the naval division, as well as the naval division and the coastal guard port of Denglai Town.

This point has little to do with the army on land of the general military offices of the various departments in Dongjiang Town.

However, for these generals of Dongjiang Town, who are all engaged in some maritime trade, Mao Weizhang's upcoming position is very important.

At the end of August, he escorted Fei Yangguo, an old slave and young son who had been caught by Shang Kexi, and left Phi Island and went to Tianjin by boat.
