In the bleating of the sheep and the crying of the shepherds, Zhang Han finished washing and felt very good and very happy.
After breakfast, the attendant officer brought a thick stack of documents, all of which were urgent documents that Zhang Han wanted to see and sign.
The grassland is also a post station in sixty miles, each post station has dozens or even more than a hundred good horses, Zhang Han's financial resources are much more abundant than the Ming court, and He Yusheng originally had a military station on the grassland, and when he didn't turn his face, the grassland was full of buildings with Heyusheng, which were used to rest and supply the convoy, and at the same time responsible for security and repair damaged vehicles, now just reuse these places.
Every day, a large number of documents are sent over, and each branch of the company has fixed affairs to report every month, and there will always be some things that come suddenly, and there are many sudden events, which are all prioritized.
For some normal official document processing, each branch usually handles it by itself, and most of the things that are sent to Zhang Han here are some headaches.
While Zhang Han was watching the article, Li Shenming, Sun Jingting and others also rushed over.
Everyone has something at hand, and this is the case when he was in Li Zhuang, Zhang Han's signing room is often filled with the heads of the military department, and the bigwigs talk and laugh to do things, and the efficiency is not low.
"Bald...... No, Wang Biao, please transfer to Kuandian for training. Sun Jingting said to Zhang Han: "I haven't decided on this matter yet. They plan to take over Li Shouxin's place on Phi Island, and use it as a normal rear base in the future, and then agree with Mao Youjun to build an advance base in Tieshan, where there are people we cut wood, and there is a place to settle it, and then some renovations can be made. The amount he asked for was 3,000 taels, but it was only in the early days, and after the daily training and warfare began, it was estimated that it would cost 20,000 a year, and the number of personnel that could be expanded from a company to a company had not yet been decided. ”
"This matter depends on Mao Wenlong's attitude." Zhang Han groaned and said: "We will transfer materials and recruit people to take them away from him, Mao Wenlong will not have an opinion on these things, if we establish a base in the area of Phi Dao and Tieshan, Kuandian, and Yizhou to fight with Dongyu, I am afraid he may not agree to this matter." ”
Li Shenming said: "Wenlong's reputation is the most important, and what Dongjiang Town wants is military merit......"
Speaking of this, Li Shenming suddenly laughed, Sun Jingting and Zhang Han knew what he meant, and they also laughed together.
Indeed, the Tang newspaper in Dongjiang Town is becoming more and more ridiculous and nonsensical.
In the first year of the Apocalypse, Dongjiang Tangbao only reported one merit, Mao Wenlong reported three Zhenyi, captured twenty-two people, and the Han army was mainly clothed.
In the second year of the Apocalypse, 5,000 enemies were killed at one time, 84 people were captured, and the fathers and elders of Liaodong brought cattle and wine to reward the Dongjiang soldiers, and the people were "no less than hundreds of thousands".
In the second year of the Apocalypse, he reported to the Tang for the third time, killing 6,000 people, capturing four, and killing 300 people in Mao.
The fourth time, Jianlu raided Longchuan with 20,000 cavalry, and more than 6,000 of the previously captured troops were burned by him, and 318 of Wenlong's subordinates died.
Three years before the Apocalypse, Mao Wenlong reported more than 11,000 Jianguo, if these retributions were real data, the Jianguo force was wiped out by Mao's 60,000 troops, even if the Han army and the left and right wings of Mongolia were also wiped out by nearly one-tenth.
Of course, this number can't be true, everyone understands it, and now people already know that Wenlong is a cowhide king, but fortunately, no one cares about him...... It is true that Dongjiang Town went deep behind enemy lines, it is also true that it sheltered hundreds of thousands of refugees, it is also true that Mao Wenlong led 200 people to go to sea to adventure, and it is also true that Zhenjiang was taken by taking advantage of the situation!
There may be many people in later generations who criticize it, for example, some people say that Wenlong is foolproof when he goes to the sea, after all, there is no sailor in Houjin, and some people say that the battle of Zhenjiang was led by Chen and Liangce, and Mao Wenlong went down the mountain to pick peaches, and then Allah ran away as soon as Wenlong came.
Zhang Han feels that he has to look at this matter from two sides, and only one side is paranoid.
When Mao Wenlong went to the sea, the Ming army was defeated repeatedly, and the frontal battlefield did not win once, and he dared to go deep behind the enemy with 200 people, there was a dark area of war fog, and the real war was not a game after all, play a strategy game and send a small soldier to explore the way, and the black curtain will be explored, and you will not feel distressed if you die, but what if you are the soldier who explores the way?
As for the defeat of Zhenjiang, what soldiers and horses did Mao Wenlong have at hand at that time, if he didn't run, he would be a good general if he stayed in the city and waited for death?
As for Mao Wenlong's bragging, this is also a shortcoming, Zhang Han has always felt that this is an interesting person, according to the report of the people in front, Mao Wenlong is solemn and self-controlled, his head is white in his fifties, and he also attaches more importance to money and things, and the training is quite methodical, and the elite degree of Dongjiang Town is far above Liao Town and Ji Town, but the local bitter cold and financial resources are insufficient, and the soldiers lack food and clothing, and weapons and armor are even more lacking.
However, Zhang Han has no intention of continuing to fund Dongjiang at this time, one is that it is not necessary, he had to do it in order to close the relationship, and now there is no reason to do it at all, and Mao Wenlong will not accept it, he has already opened the town and given Shang Fang the sword, and it is not a good thing for him to have too close a relationship with a big businessman military attache like Zhang Han. Second, Zhang Han's own Liaodong strategy has begun to be carried out, the nail of the Thirteen Mountains has been buried, if there are some forces in Phidao and Tieshan, Kuandian also has some strength, the layout of the entire Liaodong will be more perfect.
"Since Wenlong attaches great importance to military merits, our military merits can be counted on the head of the Dongjiang River, and all the grades are given to him, but it is best to ask Mao Longwen for an island." After Li Shenming smiled, Zhengse said: "In the end, it is not a long-term situation in other people's territory, there are many islands between the Dongjiang River and Denglai, and some islands only have a dozen households, but the place is not small. ”
Zhang Han and Sun Jingting agreed together, and it was not difficult to do such a thing with Yusheng's financial resources.
Sun Jingting said: "Then I'm going to fight with Tian Jitang in the ring!" ”
Zhang Han laughed and said: "Recently, hundreds of thousands of sheep and a large number of cattle and horses have been put into the account, and the original financial resources are quite abundant, Tian Jitang should not make a black face with you." ”
"One more thing." Li Shenming said at this time: "I received news from Taiwan, this time it was sent by ship from Taiwan in June, and it was considered to have come quickly. ”
Zhang Han and Sun Jingting both looked helpless, Zhang Han said: "It seems that the post transmission method that Li Pingzhi said is also going to be carried out." ”
Sun Jingting said: "That Tian Jitang's face is black. ”
Even if it is according to Li Pingzhi's suggestion, from Datong to Fujian to buy through the imperial court post station from generation to generation, but many places still have to transfer by themselves, but also set up a lot of stations, in a strange place that is the power of Heyusheng, whether it is hard power or soft power has not reached the place to set up a post station, plus to build some light boats specially for sending news, the cost must be not small.
Chang Wei suggested," said Lee, "to start planting some oak trees in Taiwan, and he said that someone from Nanyang or Macao could buy saplings on his behalf." ”
"It's not urgent." Zhang Han said with some surprise: "I also know that the best thing to build a ship is oak, but its finished wood is at least twenty or thirty years, and we will not wait that long." ”
He Yusheng's high-level officials all knew that Zhang Han intended to conquer the South Seas, and the war with European countries, especially with Spain and the Netherlands, was inevitable, but it was not necessary to start a war against Britain, and Britain's power in Asia was now biased towards India, and when the British defeated the Netherlands and Spain, especially after ending the Netherlands' maritime hegemony, they would not be interested in East Asia until at least a hundred years later, and when their spindles were saturated and they were bent on dumping to China, it was already two hundred years later, although this era was flourishing. The prototype of early industrialization is budding, but there is still a long way to go before the real steam engine era, that is, when the industrial capacity of European countries can plunder wealth for their own countries in the world, at this time the sea is still very large, Zhang Han feels that the real thing to deal with in Nanyang is the Netherlands, because the Netherlands is now on the rise, although the war with Britain has continued at home, but it will take decades before they step down, during this time they have the colony of Indonesia in Nanyang, And they are very interested in China's Penghu and Taiwan, they have already built a castle on Taiwan's outlying islands, and will soon build another one in Tainan, and then they will drive away the Spaniards and turn the whole of Taiwan into a colony to show, if it weren't for Zheng Chenggong's anti-Qing need for a solid base, Taiwan may have been ruled by the Netherlands, so it is difficult to say that it is Chinese territory.
The shipbuilding industry in Europe has been very mature, Britain has been able to build 1,600 tons of ships with more than 100 guns on the Sea Monarch, the main part of this large warship is made of oak, oak is used to build ships much stronger than ordinary wood, and almost all European countries use oak for shipbuilding.
Because they have a history of more than 100 years of voyages, all countries pay attention to the cultivation of oak, this is not the case in China, not only no one planted, the big wood along the coast has been cut down and no one has replanted, later generations of people to the current northwest to see may be shocked, because there are barren mountains everywhere, soil erosion is very serious, because individuals will not replant too many trees, the imperial court has neither the awareness of this, nor the ability, this era is indeed no industrial pollution, and the population is not as large as later generations, However, in areas with large populations, environmental protection is certainly not possible.
Li Shenming said: "Chang Wei said that the struggle for sea power is not a matter of one or two days, maybe we can defeat the Netherlands in a few years or ten years, but if we want to fight for the South Seas, or even go further, it is not too late to start planting trees now." ”
"Chang Wei actually has such insight." Zhang Han was suddenly very curious about Taiwan and the current Chang Wei, and he said: "After a while, I will ask the military secretary to make arrangements, I will go to Taiwan once, and it is best to go to the Wa Kingdom once to meet Li Dan and Li Guozhu." ”
"Li Dan just went to Taiwan and Penghu a while ago." Li Shenming said: "The Dutch should withdraw their troops." ”
"News is slow." Zhang Han turned to Sun Jingting again and said, "The matter of the post station must be done quickly." ”——
