Chapter 1161 Self-improvement
"I don't know if it's a day." Huang Taiji faintly felt a sense of unease, just now he was figuring out how to deal with Hutchison in the future, and as a result, he fell a high-powered chief military officer, although He Heli is the chief military officer, he was also enshrined in the minister, one of the famous five ministers, who led 50,000 people from the Dong Hu Department to vote, Ding Kou over 10,000, the strength of the entire Eight Banners went up several steps at once, and it is rare that like the leaders of the rest of the small tribes, He Heli and the power were seized, and his people were scattered and divided into the Eight Banners, and now the He Heli family is rooted in the Zhenghong Banner, In fact, there are not many people in the Dong'e tribe of Zhenghongqi, which is quite an obvious precaution, but He Heli doesn't care, many times he takes the initiative to guard against his relatives, so as not to have an accident after his death.
Now this old soldier is going to die soon, Huang Taiji heart for a while, in the Chongde years, Huang Taiji called the emperor after posthumously awarded He Heli as a third-class duke, now of course he does not have this power, can only sigh in his heart, from Fei Yingdong to Yidu, now it is He Heli, it is difficult to start a business, and the great cause has not been achieved, and the generals have passed away......
"Master, the slave persuades the master to say a word." Fan Wencheng is often taken by Huang Taiji now, and when he saw that Huang Taiji's face was displeased, he stepped forward to persuade him.
"Tell me about it."
"Tianxingjian, a gentleman will never stop with self-improvement."
Fan Wencheng explained it once in Jurchen and Chinese respectively, and Huang Taiji was deeply shocked and said: "The ancestors of the Han people, do you also have such a strong wind? ”
"Yes, but it's not as good as it used to be, and today's Han people are far inferior to the Jurchens."
"Hmm." Huang Taiji nodded as expected, yes, of course, the Han people are not as many as the Jurchens, if so, why can they sit in the mansion of Liaoyang, where Liaodong Jingluo was originally located, sit safely, sing and drink?
This is actually the logic of the barbarians, from the law of forest society, whoever has the big fist is right, but sometimes it is so sad, civilization cannot defeat barbarism, it is about the saddest thing in history.
"Fan Wencheng, after you return to my mansion, write down these words for me and frame them on the wall." Huang Taiji still knows some things about the Han people, and he said: "I want to use these words to remind myself all the time." ”
Of course Fan Wencheng agreed, although he is not a fart now, just a Han coat, but Huang Taiji sometimes shows obvious trust, which makes him very happy, although he is a slave now and a slave in the future, but slaves also have high and low, isn't it......
Huang Taiji didn't look at Fan Wencheng's face carefully, he knew people's hearts very well, and he also knew Fan Wencheng in front of him very well, but he recalled that when Zhang Han arrived in Liaodong, he actually didn't see through the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy at that time, and now six or seven years have passed, and the original small businessman has developed to such a point, Huang Taiji just can't think clearly, if he has Zhang Han's financial resources and troops, he will definitely do more things, so many strong soldiers are not used, At the very least, we should defeat a few more Mongol tribes on the steppe and loot more people, cattle and sheep...... I really don't understand, Zhang Han, Hutchison, what have you been doing this year?
……
"Mr. Sun, the Penghu Islands are ahead." Gan Hui pointed to an island that was faintly visible in the direction of his right hand in the waves and wind waves, and introduced it to Sun Jingting.
Sun Jingting's face was a little pale, and his spirit was a little sluggish, but he was finally able to stand outside the cabin with both hands on the side of the ship...... When the wind and waves rose a few days ago, because the hull of the ship shook too much, Sun Jingting vomited so much that he could barely raise his head, and then he could only tie him to a small bed in the cabin...... This is the preferential treatment, you must know that although the Zhenyuwei is a large ship of 160 tons, it is a big ship compared to those small wooden boats and lucky boats, and the slightly larger ocean-going fishing boats in later generations will have to be 500 tons, and many fishing boats are simply thousands of tons, even those who fish in the offshore waters also have dozens of tons to more than 100 tons, that is to say, Sun Jingting's ship is only a slightly larger offshore fishing boat in later generations.
This ship not only carried a large amount of wood, but also more than 20 guns, to leave gun emplacements for the second and top floors, but also to store water and grain, ballast space, plus space to transport goods, except for the captain and first mate, any officer and soldier had to sleep in a narrow and crowded cabin, of course, it was also a hammock, the space was very cramped, and the smell was also unpleasant, if Sun Jingting slept in such an environment and hammock, I am afraid he would suffer more crimes.
Captain Zheng Shaolai gave up his cabin, the first mate was Russian, Sun Jingting said that he couldn't go to embarrass people, even if it was Zheng Shaolai's cabin, he couldn't stand it because he vomited and lived in.
After many days of turbulence in the wind and waves, we finally arrived off the coast of Taiwan.
On the left-hand side is the island of Taiwan, an endless coastline, the color of the sea water near the sea is also different from the deep sea area, a large flock of seabirds hovering in the air, and a few dolphins on the bow have been chasing the sailboat, from time to time to make a clear chirping sound.
A school of flying fish flew by not far from the bow of the boat, and several Shanxi people who came from the grassland let out their usual exclamations.
All this is completely different from the line from Tianjin to Phi Dao...... The gap is too big. The temperature is much higher, the color of the sea is completely different from the Yellow Sea, it is more beautiful, the sea is bluer, the sky is bluer, and in the good weather without clouds, it almost makes people feel like they are living in a dream.
From the land of the north of Jin Province like poor mountains and bad waters to the sea area in the south, it really opened the eyes of Sun Jingting and others, and the whole mind was a feeling of freedom.
Later, Gan Hui and Sun Jingting and others went on the same boat, and talked with each other in their spare time, and Sun Jingting took this opportunity to learn some about Taiwan's situation, and Gan Hui also learned about the difficulties of the military department and his determination to support Taiwan...... Prior to this, the Taiwan side actually had some complaints, and the military department had always been a little hesitant to support Taiwan, and many people said strange things.
After the communication between the two sides, Sun Jingting learned that it was not easy to create a situation in Taiwan, the sea was treacherous, and he did not dare to say that he would be able to come back alive on any trip...... None of them are easy to bear. Sun Jingting had only heard people say it before, but this time he really felt empathy...... He had seen everything at sea, and he had a sympathy for the living conditions of seafarers, and he had encountered all kinds of risks, and in recent days he had encountered strong winds and vomited everything in his stomach.
In fact, people who often run to the sea are also uncomfortable, and they have no way to resist the physiological limit, but they have experienced a lot and know how to deal with it, but in fact, they are still vomiting......
In addition to the risk at sea, immigration is also quite a high-tech job, in the early Yan Siqi they encountered more difficulties, the early Fujian people moved to Taiwan, using modern people look not much bigger than the bathtub of the miniature fortune boat, set up a small mast, hang a sail, prepare some water, directly to the opposite shore drifted over, this in later generations feel like death, but most of the immigrants of the Wan people passed in this way.
Of course, there are also big ships, which are used to transport people with status, transport grain, seeds, farm tools and cattle, as well as various tools, and even materials for building houses, the Dutch built forts in Dayuan, and the building materials were dismantled from Penghu, and the materials of Penghu's military forts were transported from Batavia, and these things are also available in Taiwan, but it is better to travel hundreds of miles by land over the mountains and mountains, and it is better to transport them from ports everywhere on the sea, which is more time-saving and labor-saving.
All kinds of wilderness are unimaginable to the people of the mainland, wild beasts, natives, mosquitoes the size of half a palm, and malaria brought by mosquitoes.
Before Hutchison brought herbal medicine and a large number of military doctors, the mortality rate of the island's residents was quite high, and Yan Siqi and others were afraid that at least nearly 1,000 people died of malaria during the years of immigration.
Clearing the wasteland is not a game, every day is very difficult, tired and half dead on the first day, and still the same the next day.
Slowly, every bit of the military department on the Taiwan side was understood by the military personnel who came from the north, and Gan Hui and Wang Yan and others were most happy about this, and the difficulties of the military department in the north also made the people on the Taiwan side slowly understand that in the face of the pressure of the Mongolian departments, the military department was really stretched, and last year's military expenditure made the financial deficit reach more than 1 million, and the turnover of the account bureau was facing great difficulties. Everyone thought that this was the time for Taiwan to start making its due returns, but it turned out that it needed to invest more...... Under such circumstances, how can the military personnel in the north who have reduced their expenses not have the slightest resentment?
"It's really beautiful......" Sun Jingting looked at the island in the wind and waves, and his eyes showed great appreciation.
The Penghu Islands in the wind and waves are like a pocket bonsai that has been placed, swaying in the wind and waves, and the trees, houses, and ships moored in the harbor on the island are like models, which look small and cute.
"We're not going to Penghu anymore." Gan Hui said: "Recently, we have been having more friction with Dutch, and there are signs of war. ”
A clerk said unhappily: "I heard that Taiwan has spent a lot of money on the surname Yu, how can this be?" ”
Gan Hui explained: "The Dutch are powerful, and there are many merchants in Fujian who have been dealing with them. Maritime merchants and pirates are sometimes inseparable, the coastal Haoqiang and the guards are also connected, in the past half a year, we have been pressed to move, and we have a good relationship with the estranged, the sea merchant Xu Xinsu is singing against us again, the forces in Fujian are complicated, even Zheng Junmen can not be suppressed, Yu Lao Zong is also under considerable pressure here, and the Dutch have died a lot of Fujian children, that is the order of the imperial court, in order to recover the lost land has nothing to say, If we fight with Hongmaoyi again because of us, it will still be the Fujian people who will die...... Those people are such arguments, and the old general soldiers have no choice but to dismiss most of the sailors, leaving only a few to guard Penghu, and ask our Hutchison boat not to go to Penghu again, so as not to tell the truth to the Dutch. ”
