However, if you want to do these things, you still have to clean up the pirates off the coast of Fujian first. Otherwise, it would be hilarious if someone robbed someone on the road and things that I had so hard to rob.

When Zhang San returned to Tamsui City after completing the coastal inspection work, Zhang San's Ryukyu Sugar Workshop finally began to produce white sugar, and looking at the white sugar that was almost the same as that of later generations, Zhang San nodded with satisfaction.

Zhang San planned to accumulate 5,000 bags of white sugar and then scrape together a boatload to transport it to Hangzhou, but this white sugar is not just a commodity, Zhang San also plans to use him as bait for a fishing operation.

How much is 5,000 packets of white sugar worth? A pound of sugar sells for 300 yuan, a package is 100 catties, a package is more than 40 yuan, and 5,000 bags is 200,000 yuan, that is, Zhang San's ship's goods are equivalent to twice the birth gang.

At that time, Zhang San planned to enter Quanzhou Port in the form of overseas specialties, and then Yixing Hutchison bought this batch of sugar, and released the news that the cargo was worth 200,000 yuan, and then Weiyuan Dart Bureau carried this batch of sugar.

At that time, the pirates along the way are not like crazy, and the pirates will inevitably flock to the place where the sugar passes, so Zhang San can save a lot of trouble in searching, and then sort out the sea route of Hangzhou, the capital of Quanzhou, and completely open up this shipping route, and also start the fame of Weiyuan.

And if the operation is done properly, Zhang San feels that there is still hope to transfer out the Zhang family's fleet, the Zhang family has always held a grudge against Zhang San's Weiyuan dart game, plus the huge loss this time, he has a great possibility to come out to grab this batch of goods.

At that time, Zhang San will be able to defeat the Zhang family's sea fleet, and then attack the Zhang family's shipyard as a pirate, completely driving the Zhang family out of the maritime forces, and then Zhang San's Four Seas Brotherhood will also be able to gain a firm foothold in the sea off Hangzhou to Fujian Road.

However, this battle is an important battle to determine the forces in the East China Sea, so with Zhang San's current strength, it is still a bit reluctant, so Zhang San needs to wait patiently for three months, and when the third batch of warships is completed, it is the time for this battle to begin.

So this batch of sugar continued to be produced, Zhang San also put his main energy into the construction of Ryukyu Island, two clearance teams transported back a group of pirates every three or five times, Zhang San continued to build new villages around Tamsui City on the island, and finally a month later, the population of Ryukyu Island exceeded 100,000.

This made Zhang San feel a sense of accomplishment, 100,000 people are already a big force, not to mention that there are more than 10,000 soldiers among the 100,000 people, and the increase in personnel makes Zhang San more and more dissatisfied with the activities on the north bank of the Tamsui River.

Zhang San began to send people to investigate all the mountain passes in the northern Ryukyu Plain, and Zhang San planned to set up outpost camps in all these places to block the roads into and out of the mountains so that the entire northern Ryukyu Plain would be included in Zhang San's sphere of influence.

The Marines have been trained by sending them to various ships to participate in the extermination of pirates and the operation of going into the mountains to exterminate the savage cottages, and now they are more like an army, and their combat effectiveness has improved a lot compared to the first battle.

It's just that Zhang San can't always station a large number of troops in every mountain pass, so the main role of these outpost camps is to defend and warn, so Zhang San remembered the fortress advance strategy of the Ming Dynasty, so Zhang San simply built such a defensive fortress at the location of these mountain passes, so that fifty or sixty people in each mountain pass paid attention to defense.

And there are more than ten such mountain pass locations, which means that Zhang San only needs to send about 1,000 people to defend the entire Ryukyu Plain, but the construction of the fortress is indeed not easy, the masonry materials are difficult to enter, and the manpower is huge.

Zhang San thought about it for a while, or simply build a wooden fortress, and use local materials to do a good job of defensive settings, or be able to make do with it for a while, as long as Zhang San survived for a year or two, Zhang San had more marines in his hands, and he would definitely carry out a thorough cleanup of Ryukyu Island.

The goal of the cleanup is that there is no longer a savage village in the mountains, and Zhang San plans to capture all the disobedient savages in the mountains and put them in slave camps, so that they can be used to build roads and mines.

Anyway, how can the liquidation be regarded as a training army, not only Ryukyu Island, Zhang San also plans to go to Luzon Island to catch some monkeys when there is not enough manpower and put them into the mine, I remember several books have said that Luzon seems to be rich in copper and gold, and Zhang San will definitely occupy it in the future.

Therefore, before the occupation, clean up the monkeys on the island first, and also reduce some of the burden of clearing for the next step of immigration, as for the people's war or something, you must have the people before the war.

Zhang San believes that as long as all the cottages of more than 100 people on the island are destroyed, even if there is a little bit of leakage into the mountains, it will not affect the overall stability of the situation, not to mention that Zhang San often takes people to continue to clear the money.

After all, the island is an island, even if an island is big, it is just an island, think about the resolute resistance of the Ryukyu people at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and in the end it was not unsuccessful, not to mention that at that time, the Han people were united and the whole island worked together.

And now Zhang San's enemies are just some savage tribes, and even the tribal alliance has not appeared, and the enemies he faces are not of the same grade at all, so Zhang San is confident that he will complete the clearance activities.

After determining the form of the fortress, Zhang San began to arrange for the marines to take craftsmen to these mountain passes to build camps, and each place sent 200 marines and 100 workers to start the fortress construction operation.

After a month of hard work, more than a dozen forts were built, Zhang San blocked all the roads of the wild people descending the mountain, and the northern Ryukyu plain was completely brought under Zhang San's rule, and Zhang San began to build new villages on the south bank of the Tamsui River.

It's just that Zhang San feels that after 100,000 people, the increase in the number of people on the island has slowed down significantly, and it seems that the pirate forces along the coast of Fuzhou have also been almost cleaned up, and a new batch of twelve new warships will be built in a month, and then the island will usher in a major development opportunity.

After four months of hard work, the Ryukyu shipyard finally built the first ship, which was a 2,000-stone transport ship, mainly responsible for the transportation of personnel, and the reason why it took so long was because the drying wood room delayed time, although I don't know how much difference this kind of dried wood is from the sun-dried, Zhang San still agreed to the large-scale construction plan on the island.

There is no way Zhang San is too short of ships now, all kinds of ships are lacking, there used to be a lack of warships, but now it is found that there are not enough cargo ships, fortunately, Zhang San got a lot of cargo ships from the pirates, and repaired a batch of useful ones, but there are no special ships to transport people.

Therefore, the first batch of ships built on the island, Zhang San decided to build this kind of special purpose for transporting people, this kind of ship is a modification of the lucky ship, the change is not big, that is, the original cargo warehouse is changed to a cabin, so as to increase the number of people loaded.

Such a change made the original 2,000-stone cargo ship only fit 500 people into now can carry more than 1,500 people, fortunately, Zhang San did not engage in any ocean voyages, and generally Fujian to Ryukyu Island is only a little more than a day of voyage, so the ship prepared rations for a maximum of three days.
