401. The Great Tide Rises (4)

After the matter of the group of Japanese people was finished, the topic of Jiang'an returned to the offensive and defensive battles of Phi Dao.

Shen Shikui left Phi Island and retreated to Kashima, but Shuotuo and others, who were repelled by the Huaqing, also arrived at Kashima, and Shuotuo, who lost his troops, took out his anger on Kashima, which usually did not have many soldiers and horses, and only after a random fight did he know that Shen Shikui, the chief soldier of the Dongjiang River, was actually on this island. Shen Shikui was finally captured and fell into the hands of Ma Futa, Ma Futa saw that the military coat on his body was good, so he asked him to take off his clothes, Shen Shikui showed his integrity at this time, resolutely disagreed, and reprimanded Jian Yu "Every time you want to kill people, it is a habit to take away his clothes." After killing me, you will take the bloody coat yourself", Mafuta killed him in a fit of rage, and really put the blood-stained military coat on himself.

Shen Zhixiang retreated to Shicheng Island, and after learning that Shen Shikui was dead, he claimed to be the chief soldier of the Dongjiang River, and Huang Sunmao, the deputy envoy of the Xunjian Army, asked for the seal of the general army, but Huang Sunmao did not give it, so he killed Huang Sunmao. He collected Shen Shikui's defeated troops, plus the soldiers and civilians of Shicheng Island, a total of 17,800 people, and then took refuge in Jianjiao.

Jianyu lost a Shang Keg, but got a better understanding of the reality of Phi Island Shen Zhixiang, and after hearing that the initial attack was unfavorable, Huang Taiji sent Azig and others to lead reinforcements and Shuotuo to join the division, continue to attack the island, after a stalemate for half a month, the loss of Denglai soldiers also exceeded 1,000, in this case, or Gu Jiaming brought reinforcements to break the situation, they attacked Tieshan, burned nearly 100 Jianguo and North Korean ships, forcing Jianyu to be unable to go to sea on a large scale. The people of Phi Dao and Donggang Islands were transferred to Tamna by plane, and occasionally went ashore to rob the population, and by the help of the captured North Korean boats, the people were transferred to Tamna in batches, and at about the end of April, the transfer was completed, and they also officially abandoned Phi Dao and returned to Tamna.

Therefore, in the end of this battle, it was Jianyu who got his wish to get Phi Dao, lifted the fish bone stuck in his throat, Xinxiang got a population of 170,000, tested new weapons and warships, Sun Lin got the credit, and the Ming court got Sun Lin's several great victory reports and more than 2,000 Jianyu's first achievements.

"It looks like everyone takes what they need......" Yu Guozhen laughed after hearing this.

"That is, I heard that the imperial court is going to add an official to Sun Lin." Jiang An smiled and said, "I hope we can allocate more money to Sun Lin, and let us save some money." ”

"You have something to say." Yu Guozhen frowned: "What can't be said in public?" ”

Jiang'an turned his eyes in front of everyone, but they were all familiar people, only Song Xiance, he had not seen it before, but looking at the position of this short-looking and ugly person, he should also be trustworthy.

"That being the case, the villain will be straightforward." Jiang An straightened his chest and looked solemn: "Little official, Mr. Sun and us are not of the same mind, what he thinks is nothing more than to use the help of small officials to make meritorious contributions to him and promote his ancestors, if there is a dispute between the court and us, he will not stand on our side!" ”

Jiang An's words were extremely bold, and this could even be said to be the first time that Xinxiang's high-level officials had said in public that Xinxiang might clash with the imperial court.

But none of the people around him felt that what he said was inappropriate.

The policies adopted by Xinxiang now are almost unforgivable to the Ming Dynasty, which is gradually emitting the stench of rotting corpses: the system of selecting officials without eight shares, the school that does not focus on teaching the Four Books and the Five Classics, and the commercial tax of as high as 15 to 30 percent!

For the high-ranking officials in the Ming court, the commercial tax of 50% to 30% is the saddest thing for them. In addition to the lower taxes on daily necessities such as grain and salt, Xinxiang levied on merchants who came to trade here with such a high level that almost all merchants smacked their tongues, and they also thought of some crooked ways to bypass this tax amount, and the result was naturally not only to pay the full amount, but also to pay a large amount of compensation that made them feel painful.

Yu Guozhen's expression was a little complicated.

Can he say that what Shogan said is not right? Jiang'an was not only loyal, but also showed his extraordinary ability to control in Tamna, from strategic vision to tactical details, which greatly relieved Yu Guozhen's heart. However, the relationship between Sun Lin and him mentioned is not ordinary.

It's not because of the kinship between the two because of the daughter of the Fang family, Sun Lin and Fang Yizhi are among the few friends of the same age that Yu Guozhen can talk about in this era. Compared with Zhang Puzhi and others, they are much more straightforward, help each other a lot, and to some extent, are like-minded.

They are all full of affection for this land, but Yu Guozhen thinks that this land is called Huaxia, while Sun Lin thinks that her name is Daming.

"I know, from now on, I'll control the scale." Yu Guozhen simply said after hesitating for a short time.

"Yes, the petty officials are wise......"

"Don't pat me on the back, if you don't watch you do a very good job this time, I can't kick you - how is Yi Niang's body?"

Yu Guozhen turned the topic to Luo Yiniang, and he got the news that Luo Yiniang was pregnant, and it was for this reason that Jiang'an went south this time and did not accompany her.

"It's okay when I came, hehe heard that the main mother is also pregnant, and I haven't congratulated the junior official yet!"

"Yi Niang is pregnant, I won't keep you here, you will continue to go north after a few days of rest, and preside over the affairs of Tamluo. In addition to the Huaqing, the Fubo and the Xuance will also go north with you, and in addition, after Wuya goes to Xinhangcheng, I will send more ships north to support you. This time, we only used our own boat as much as possible, and did not need to look for the Zheng family. ”

Hearing this, Jiang An's heart moved, and his face changed slightly: "The relationship with the Zheng family? ”

"Now I'm a little nervous, Zheng Yiguan is a little greedy and insufficient, and his strength is too small, the last time he divided his manpower, he only had more than 20,000 people on Dayuan Island, and after a few years of hard work, even the Dutch red hair can't fight." Yu Guozhen degraded the Zheng family slightly.

In fact, their relationship with the Zheng family has also undergone subtle changes with the change in the strength of both sides. If according to Yu Guozhen's meaning, he still hopes to continue to maintain this somewhat ally status for a period of time, anyway, this will not affect his expansion of his strength, but the Zheng family is not suitable for the growth of the Xinxiang Fishery Political Bureau, especially when the Huaqing is seen by them going north, there are Zheng family's boats outside Longmen Island from time to time.

"If that's the case, the Fubo and the Xuance should stay, right?"

"Relying on these two battleships alone is not enough to fight the Zheng family head-to-head at sea, they are not prisoners who have never fought a naval battle." Yu Guozhen shook his head: "Instead of leaving them here to make the Zheng family feel threatened, it is better to send them to accumulate some experience, I hope that when I really need to fight against a strong enemy at sea, the fishery administration bureau can handle it." ”

"Childe, just rest assured, the Fishery Administration Bureau will not disappoint Childe!"

Yu Dahai said excitedly beside him, he knew about the Fubo and the Xuance, and at the same time as the Huaqing was built, the drawings of the two ships had already been drawn, and the materials for their construction had been prepared. Therefore, by the end of May, the two warships were completely completed, thus greatly enhancing the naval strength of Xinxiang.

When he learned that there were two more Huaqing warships of the same level handed over to the Fishery Bureau, Yu Dahai was drooling, but also knew that these two were only afraid that one would be handed over to Luo Jiuhe, and the other would be handed over to Xun Shilu, but he didn't expect that Yu Guozhen would transfer both of them to Tamluo, wouldn't this mean that he had three super warships in his hands!

"Well, I'll rest assured that you'll do something." Yu Guozhen said with a smile.

"Woo!"

At this moment, they could hear the loud flute, Yu Guozhen did not talk about anything else, but looked back, Jiang'an, Yu Dahai and others also turned back, only to see a series of rail cars under the traction of horses, coming along the way, each rail car was full of people.

There were ten rail cars in total, lined up in five rows at the station, and then the people on the cars jumped down one after another and quickly lined up. Everyone was carrying a big bag and a big bag, and everyone was smiling and looking full of joy.

Wang Baozong was among these people, and he was not in the queue, but stood outside the queue, because he is now appointed as the head of the agricultural reclamation department of the New Hangzhou Production and Construction Corps, and he can be regarded as one of the people called "chief" by ordinary citizens.

"What is this?" Jiang An knew Wang Baozong, and he knew at least more than 100 of them in the five rows of queues, so he asked Yu Guozhen curiously.

"Today, I am in Xingang, but I am not here to pick you up, but to send them, the new Hangzhou City Production and Construction Corps, the governor of the Corps is Wuya. You have pulled more than 170,000 people for me, I must have a place to settle them, and I am going to build a new Hangzhou city in the Lanshui Delta, with the new Hangzhou city as the center, along the surrounding waterways, and build six to eight towns first. ”

"Production and Construction Corps?"

This word intrigued Jiang An, and he asked, "Little official, what's going on with this institution?" ”

The head of the Corps is called the Governor-General, and it consists of three ministries: the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Agricultural Reclamation, and the Ministry of Construction, with the Military Affairs Department in charge of war preparedness and justice, the Ministry of Agricultural Reclamation in charge of hoarding, water conservancy, rivers, and fisheries, and the Ministry of Construction in charge of brick kilns, cement kilns, and the construction of new towns. In Yu Guozhen's words, this is to lay down barracks, farmland and mines. This was also discussed after summing up the experiences of Xinxiang, Hoi An, and Yicheng, especially the lessons of the unsatisfactory construction of Yicheng.

After listening to Yu Guozhen's introduction, Jiang An said: "Then do we also arrange this in Yicheng?" ”

"That's for sure, 170,000 people are afraid that it will take two to three years to transport them to Xinxiang, and in this process, you have something to worry about, and you can't be busy alone. In addition to these three ministries, Yicheng should also have another Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Education should be responsible for two things, one is the education of 170,000 children, and they must be proud of their ability to enter Xinxiang - how many children are under the age of twelve? ”

"This ...... Six thousand nine hundred and fifteen people. ”

Hearing this number, Yu Guozhen was silent for a short time.

In terms of population proportion, the proportion of children should account for about one-fifth, that is to say, under normal circumstances, among the more than 170,000 people, there should be about 30,000 children, but the result is only more than 6,900 people.

"Build a captive and create evil!" I don't know who said.

"Build a captive and create evil!" Many responded.
