Chapter 1007 - Rare Opportunity, No Drunk No Return!

（1007）

[Today's first update is delivered! ] 】

"Be a rich man? Yes! ”

Hearing Zheng Zhilong's request to be a rich man,.

It seems that Zheng Zhilong is also a self-aware person, and choosing such a path not only saved his family's life, but also saved a considerable part of his personal wealth. As long as he doesn't have the idea of avenging his son, he should be able to live a comfortable life in the future.

The policy of the Tiger Ben Army is only Juntian, and as for personal property, as long as it is not against the Tiger Ben Army, it can be retained. With the family property accumulated by Zheng Zhilong, it should be the next ten lifetimes, and there is no need to worry. Since the other party has promised to surrender and handed over all the military power and fleet, Zhang Zhun naturally wants to promise to ensure the safety of the Zheng family.

"Guohua, I see it like this. The Zheng family and the Dutch have been fighting each other for so many years, and they should be very familiar with the situation of the Dutch, and the Zheng Zhilong brothers should have a lot of information about the Dutch. It is better for us to come over and study these materials carefully to deepen our understanding of the enemy. In addition to the Dutch, there are other Western powers, and we want them all. ”

"In addition, there is the issue of trade in the South Seas. The Spanish emissaries have made it clear that they will continue to trade with us. Therefore, after we take over Jiangnan, we will start the maritime trade in the South Seas. The goods in the Jiangnan area must be transported as soon as possible. That's a huge and stable profit! ”

"However, I don't think the Dutch will make it easy for us to trade by sea. The strength of the Dutch is still very strong in the South Seas, and we can't force it for the time being. Your navy, take the initiative to contact the Spaniards to see how to establish a safe route and how to arrange the escort fleet. ”

"The Spaniards want to get the best out of us, they can't do it without any effort. They have been competing with the Dutch for decades, and their understanding of the Dutch is even deeper. We don't want them to provide military support, but the exchange of intelligence is a must. In addition, it is advisable to have a team stationed in Manila on a permanent basis to facilitate the process. ”

Zhang Zhun said thoughtfully.

"I understand, I'll arrange it as soon as possible."

Yang Guohua stood solemnly and nodded solemnly.

He knew that the task given to him by Zhang Zhun was quite light. Especially when the Tiger Army and the Dutch Navy have already fought a lot, it is indeed a bit difficult to ensure the safety of the route. Moreover, the main force of the Tiger Ben Navy also has to ensure the safety of the landing force along the coast of Japan, and the number of warships used to escort the escort cannot be very large.

On the contrary, the closer to the South Seas, the more active the Dutch fleet became. Especially in the sea near Manila, there was always the Dutch fleet that came out of nowhere, trying to sneak up on the Spanish fleet. For Spain, it was also a headache. If the Dutch found the merchant ships of the Tiger Army while hunting, they would definitely take the initiative to attack. It is still very difficult to fight a war on someone else's land.

Thankfully, the good news keeps coming. By October, the eighth batch of saber ships will be launched. The number of saber-tooth ships in the eighth batch is also fifty. These saber ships can be drawn out and are responsible for escorting. As for the three main fleets, they are still mainly mobile operations. As long as the war in Japan develops smoothly, the main force of the Tiger Army and Navy can smoothly advance southward to the sea south of Manila.

Time, what the Tiger Army needs most now is time. As long as they can survive these three or four years, the Dutch will not do anything. As long as you can survive until the latest batch of construction of the King Kong ships is launched, and the combat effectiveness is formed, the Tiger Ben Army Navy does not need to look at anyone's face. For now, the only way to do this is to grit your teeth and persevere.

Zhang Zhun inquired in detail about the sailors of the Zheng family's fleet. According to the latest battle report sent by Li Jicheng from the front, the Huben Army and Navy are indeed developed this time. In the Zheng family's fleet, the first batch of the Tiger Ben Navy recruited more than 13,000 skilled sailors. This is not all the sailors of the Zheng family's fleet.

In other sub-bases of the Zheng family's fleet, in the old nest of Fujian, there are still a considerable number of sailors, waiting for the recruitment of the Tiger Ben Navy. In the entire Ming Kingdom at that time, the most enthusiastic about navigation was probably the people along the coast of Fujian. The most conservative estimate is that the Tiger Army Navy, with 50,000 sailors here, has no problem.

In the past, Zhang Zhun was most worried about the problem of raw materials for shipbuilding. After the recovery of Liaodong, the problem of raw materials was solved, and it was the turn of human resources. The Huben Army Naval Officer School can only train professional naval officers. The number of ordinary sailors needed is too great to be trained, and they can only be recruited from the civilian sector.

However, in Shandong, there is no seafaring atmosphere, and there are not many sailors among the people. Even if the Tiger Ben Navy offered favorable treatment, it still couldn't recruit enough sailors. This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Zhun has always been jealous of the Zheng family's fleet. Other people's talent reserves are much deeper than those of the Tiger Ben Army and Navy. After all, someone else has close to twenty years of development.

Now, with a large number of sailors from Fujian joining, the two basic elements of the Huben army and navy have all been completed. There are enough sailors, there are enough warships, and there is a guide from the four hundred years of knowledge of the traverser. Zhang Zhun has full confidence that the future ocean must be the world of the Tiger Army and Navy.

"When they return to Shandong, I want to meet them in person. All departments of the Navy, as well as other branches of the military, should be careful not to discriminate against them. The sailors of the Zheng family's fleet, like us, are all Han Chinese and are of the same origin. In the past, because of some internal conflicts of interest, they and I were on opposite sides. Now we are fighting under the same banner and treat them with the same enthusiasm as brothers. ”

"However, this does not mean that the requirements for them can be relaxed. These accepted sailors must be trained by us before they can be arranged on a warship. Again, the quality must be passed, and the discipline must be strict. If the physical fitness is not good, we don't want it. If you can't accept our discipline, don't either. ”

"Because of Zheng Chenggong's death, as well as some previous conflicts, some of the sailors of the Zheng family's fleet may be quite hostile to us and unwilling to join us. We need to treat these people differently. Those who are unwilling to join us and voluntarily retire, we can let them retire. Those who are unwilling to join us and are unwilling to retire will be forced to retire. If there is fanning the flames and forming gangs, lest the world be chaotic, solve the repression, and do not be soft. ”

Zhang Zhun said slowly with a serious expression.

"Understood!"

Several giants in the army responded cautiously.

"Good!"

"Sit down! Let's drink! ”

"Speaking of which, we haven't had a drink in a long time!"

Zhang Zhun was in a happy mood, picked up his wine glass, and said to everyone with great interest.

Usually, he rarely drinks alcohol, so as not to make a mistake. However, these days, I can't stop drinking. This is a major event in life, how can you not drink on such a festive occasion? A rare opportunity, you must be going to get drunk.

For this wedding, all the drinks prepared by the people of Qingdao are called Daohuaxiang. This name was naturally plagiarized by Zhang Zhun for posterity. In the past, because food was very valuable, it was very expensive to use rice to make wine, so rice wine was hard to find, and even if there were, ordinary people could not afford to consume it. It was not until Zhang Zhun appeared and implemented the Juntian order that the output of rice increased greatly, and it was possible to brew cheap and high-quality rice wine.

After the locals brewed the rice wine, they asked Zhang Zhun to name the wine, and Zhang Zhun thought of this at once. In his previous life, he did drink a lot of wine like Daohuaxiang. He also asked Zhang Yan to make several free advertisements for Daohuaxiang. Speaking of which, in the control area of the Tiger Army, the name of Daohuaxiang is also good.

"Tiger head, hold on!"

Zhang Zhun had a few cups of rice flowers, and he talked more.

The original eight-person Thornfish Squad, except for Yang Junjie, who unfortunately died, the other seven people are now giants of the Tiger Army. The main force of the Tiger Ben Army is basically in their hands. As the Tiger Army continues to develop, there are more important tasks waiting for them in the future. Therefore, they will be the same as Zhang Zhun and become the brightest stars of this era.

Among these eight people, the oldest is Yang Zhiyuan. He is several years older than Zhang Zhun. After Zhang Zhun got married, it was naturally his turn. It's just that Yang Zhiyuan usually concentrates on thinking about the war, and he really hasn't heard him talk about getting married or anything like that. I guess he probably didn't think about it at all.

Of course, getting married and playing with a woman are completely different things. Yang Zhiyuan and Hao Linyong are all young people with strong blood, and it is absolutely impossible for you to say that they have not played with women. is high and powerful, and the future is bright, if you want to say that there is no woman watching, no one will believe it. Zhang Zhun estimated that there should be a lot of beauties around them. However, when it comes to official marriage, they may not really have such thoughts.

"Hey, Tiger Head, do you have a sweetheart?"

Zhang Zhun asked with a smile in his drunken eyes.

To their status, women who are willing to marry them can be lined up from Qingdao to Dengzhou Mansion. The problem is that it is not easy to pick a good one. Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, taking a concubine and taking a concubine, that is what the ancients said early on died. Find a few women to vent **, whatever you want. However, a proper wife must be virtuous and virtuous. In case you marry a woman with a bad heart, it will be troublesome.

"Nope!"

Yang Zhiyuan said honestly.

"Zihao!"

Zhang Zhun immediately shouted.

A professional fire captain is here, there is no problem that cannot be solved!
