The next day, the young Son of Heaven asked the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to read the confession of Zheng Yiguan's pirate gang in the court, and then Emperor Chongzhen, who did not rub sand in his eyes, asked the official who suggested Zhao'an Zheng Yiguan to go home and hug his grandson.

The dismissal of more than a dozen ministers at once is enough to prove the emperor's attitude, and Zheng Yiguan is destined to never become a military general of the Ming Dynasty. Huang Sheng's plan was a complete success.

The Huang family ran the Nanyang fleet on the return journey through Lingao, and in the past year, Lingao has 130,000 acres of land under the name of Huang Sheng, with a population of more than 10,000.

Ma San bribed the chief officer of the Hainan Weidanzhou Office to get the title of two guards of 100 households, and now his subordinates are all under the banner of the guard's army.

Ma San has trained more than 1,000 villagers, and the Xiong family also has 300 families, and the two families have joined forces to continuously eliminate nearby bandits, gaining fame and fortune, Xiong Zhaoqi is not poor, and the banquet for receiving Lord Huang has delicacies from the mountains and seas.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the feudal landlord armed forces were a force that actually existed, and too many places where bandits were rampant had private armed forces to protect themselves by clans and clans, and their combat effectiveness was often a little stronger than that of the guards.

It is said that the king of the wedding dress, Li Duyan, was killed by the feudal landlords in Jiugong Mountain.

However, these private armed forces have limitations, they only know how to guard their own one-third of an acre, regardless of whether the bandits or the official army are treated the same, because the soldiers and bandits in the late Ming Dynasty are the same as the people.

They defend their hometowns and everyone fights bravely, and if they are uprooted from their homeland and fight for their country, they will not be able to do it.

It is not a problem at all that there is a private armed presence of the Huang family in Hainan, the sky is high here, and the emperor is far away. Moreover, Ma San and Ge Chengjie led the team to never harass the township and made friends with the government, and they had the tiger skin of the Weisuo Army, so this year was very prosperous.

Originally, Huang Sheng was going to leave some rice in Lingao, but Ma San said that he didn't need it at all, their food was enough, and there would be a lot of surplus next year.

It is also three crops a year, the land is fertile, and the yield per mu reaches two stones of rice after the water conservancy facilities are put into use.

In the spring, Huang Mingdao has brought a lot of equipment and workers, the cement factory here has been put into operation, Ma San has already sent Ge Chengjie to cross the sea to Leizhou to take in the victims, but Leizhou has a limited population to build more than 1,000 households, he doesn't want anything else now, only a large number of people.

Ma San already has a sense of achievement, he is like a county master, he can ask about large and small affairs, Xiong Zhaoqi, who is good at martial arts and does not like literature, does not like to manage trivial matters, seeing that Ma San, a five-grade military attaché, is capable and careful, he also let Ma San do some official duties that he should handle.

Seeing that the economic level of a poor Xia County has risen sharply under the care of his brothers and his brothers, and the good public security environment has been extended to neighboring counties, a group of young people are not making a fuss and want to go back, they expressed their stance that they will work for another year or two, and strive to pull out a thousand general soldiers to fight with the head of the family on the premise of not affecting the defense of Lingao.

Huang Sheng not only left behind the 100 grassroots households of Huangjiawan Island who immigrated here, but also left behind more than 700 Han people on the sea boats who were arrested all the way.

In addition, Xu Xinsu sent 1,000 households last winter, and Lingao had 10,000 ordinary people affiliated with the Huang family, Huang Sheng arranged for Ma San to build a fortress in the port, supplemented 30 grassroots officers, and left five sentry horse boats, two grass skimming boats, ten horse boats, and supporting sailors, gunners and military attachés.

For the legitimacy of the Huang family's raising troops here, Xiong Zhaoqi also used his connections to apply for the establishment of an inspection department in Lingao, with Xiong Da serving as the Jiupin inspector.

The men and horses of the inspection department are not regular soldiers, their number is uncertain, and the salary and silver are supplied by the local area, and there are only a few dozen people and hundreds of them.

The imperial court will not come to inspect the people of the district inspection department, with this umbrella and in the poor countryside of Qiongzhou, there will not be too many scruples about quietly developing thousands of people, after all, bandits are rampant here, the imperial court is not able to catch it, and it is completely reasonable for the county lord to train the township to protect himself.

Xiong Zhaoqi, who was originally extremely aggrieved in Lingao, felt that his life was much more fulfilling after a year of continuous elimination of bandits with men and horses, and he specially came to communicate with Lord Huang when Huang Sheng was about to leave.

"Lord Huang, Xiong is actually impatient to be a county master, can he be transferred to Guan Qiandao one day to serve, even if he becomes a military attaché."

Huang Sheng's management of Lingao is much more convenient with Xiong Zhaoqi's help, and he can't let him pick his son at this critical juncture, Huang Sheng said: "Lord Xiong, don't be like this, you are working hard in Lingao, now that this place has just begun to develop, how can you strive to stay in office and work for another three years." ”

"Huh? Still trying to stay in office? It's also too stuffy."

"In this way, this official and you agreed that as long as you continue to work in Kochi County for another three years, how about this official use his connections to ensure that you go to Guanqian Dao Ren Zanhua General?"

Xiong Zhaoqi knew that Lord Huang was in the Ding Worry period and was far away from the imperial court, and he couldn't transfer him to Liaodong at this time, so he agreed to Huang Sheng's three-year appointment.

The fleet returned with a full load, and there were more than 50 more than 50 No. 3 Fu ships and above along the way, and the strength of the Huang family naturally improved significantly.

When Huang Sheng returned to Huangjiawan Island, it was already the seventh day of September, and he had gained a lot from going to sea for more than three months.

The goods that cost 400,000 taels of silver were exchanged for more than 800,000 stone of grain, 40,000 stone of cane sugar, 5 million catties of cotton, 2.6 million catties of brass ingots, and many Nanyang specialties.

I didn't bring back a tael of silver, and I also spent all the freight of the sea trade partner, bringing back 100,000 taels of gold.

The profit from doing business is not so much, the key is that the robbery and the capture of more than 50 ships larger than the No. 3 Fu ship, the goods on board were sold for more than 1 million taels, and more than 1,000 sailors from various countries were arrested.

After four consecutive years of sea trade, Huang Sheng finally put himself in the shoes of this golden age of great navigation.

It is no wonder that those small countries in Europe have the appetite to carve up the whole world, and if it were not for the limitation of their population, it would have been possible for them to monopolize the windfall profits brought by maritime trade.

In the past two years, Huang Sheng's army has been slowly expanding step by step, and the number of soldiers in the naval division has more than doubled, and 300 veterans have been selected from the 100 musketeers to be promoted to the chief flag officer, and the officers have been enriched to serve as captains, first officers, and second officers on the naval warships.

These musketeers are also experts in navigation, at least three voyages with the master of the family, Huang Sheng has always guided the young man to open his eyes to the world, navigation knowledge is the main subject, even the Mongolian Black Tiger, Black Panther a few know little about navigation.

This year, 1,000 young sailors with knowledge will graduate and be assigned to work on new-style warships, and this is not enough, but it is also necessary to replenish a large number of young officers with knowledge and strengthen the management of naval divisions.

It is also necessary to hold training classes to enhance the overall cultural level of the leading collective of the naval division, and Huang Sheng wants to upgrade the naval division to the navy, and strive to eventually become an "invincible fleet" that gallops across the four oceans.

At the end of August, Mao Wenlong sent the documents and official uniforms of several military attachés of Liu Guozheng, and his last officer reward was implemented, and the imperial court recognized the establishment of Liu Guozheng and several military attachés.

It also means that Liu Guozheng is not only on the roster of military attachés in Dongjiang Town, but also on the record in the imperial military department, not an empty general in name only, but a formal official with the imperial court's salary.

As for the freshly baked garrison Liu Guozheng with the rank of guerrilla general, how many soldiers were paid by the imperial court and sent things Mao Chenglu didn't say, Huang Mingli didn't ask, the Huang family didn't care about these salaries, and they didn't plan to ask for them.
