"There is Ren Siqi, the inspector of the Daishan Inspection Division,...... defeated the pirates of Sijiao Mountain and captured the bandit leader Gu Rong,...... Rescue Zhoushan and break thousands of pirates....... Accumulated merits, promoted to the post of coastal defense guerrilla, and concurrently led the Daishan patrol inspection, stationed in Cen Gang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The official document of the Nanjing Military Department finally arrived in Daishan, and the exploits of the Daishan Army in repeatedly defeating pirates were finally rewarded by the imperial court, and Ren Siqi was appointed as a coastal defense guerrilla.

The guerrilla general, who is under the staff general, leads the guerrillas to defend back and forth. And the coastal defense guerrilla, it seems that Zheng Zhilong had done this position when he was just recruited. It seems that the Nanjing Military Department is recruiting itself as a pirate!

originally wanted to seek Zhoushan as a general, but only got a coastal defense guerrilla, which made Ren Siqi smile bitterly. However, whether it is a guerrilla general, he is finally qualified to command an army, and he can be regarded as a righteous Ming official army, and he is no longer the local militia of the past.

But Huang Binqing didn't know what the relationship was, and he continued to serve as a general of Zhoushan on the charge of abandoning the city and fleeing, and he repeatedly defeated pirates, captured Gu Rong alive, and rescued Zhoushan, but he was still under Huang Binqing.

Let yourself concurrently serve as the Daishan patrol, but put the guerrilla general's station in Cen Gang, what do you want to do, do you want to let yourself and the Zhoushan staff general check and balance each other? Ren Siqi sneered.

Whether it is a coastal defense guerrilla attack, with this name, he can justifiably expand his army and put the islands under his rule.

If he was promoted, all his subordinates would also get benefits, so Ren Siqi immediately gathered everyone and began to reward them. Like the original commander level of the infantry army, the commander of the water army, they all got the position of the capital division, and the general flag of the infantry army and the general manager of the water army were appointed as the general commander, and the others also had their own rewards, in short, now everyone is a serious official army. No matter that although everyone has been promoted, the position is still the same as before, and it has not changed. The structure of the Daishan Army has been initially perfected, and naturally it will not be easily changed.

After the reward, Ren Siqi immediately sent a fleet to inspect the islands, and the captured pirate capitals were executed, and the remaining crimes with lesser crimes were brought back to the islands.

All the islands that were willing to surrender were brought under the rule of the coastal defense guerrillas, and barracks were set up on the islands, Daishan soldiers were sent as leaders, and fishermen were recruited as soldiers.

There are thousands of islands in the entire Zhoushan archipelago, but there are only dozens of islands that are really inhabited. Larger islands such as Sijiao Mountain have thousands of fishermen, while smaller islands have hundreds of fishermen.

Ren Siqi sent troops to each island, issued orders in the name of coastal defense guerrillas, established archery organizations, and conscripted all young men into the army. Of course, this group of archers is a militia, and the servants do not need to leave the island, but only need to train every few days.

All that needs to be done now is to bring the islands back to their hearts, so the soldiers sent to each island have a mission to get along with the fishermen as soon as possible. In order to achieve this goal, Ren Siqi purchased a large number of food items and transported them to the islands, and all the archers who participated in the training would also receive subsidies in addition to taking care of their meals. As for those fishermen whose families are poor, the officers and soldiers did not hesitate to lend a helping hand.

Originally, many islands had fishermen who participated in the campaign to attack Zhoushan, but now the captured fishermen have been sent back, and the officers and men have not held everyone accountable, but have been very kind to everyone, which makes the fishermen feel very grateful.

More and more young fishermen participated in the training of archers, not to mention the allowance, there will be a subsidy of one liter of rice for each day of training, which greatly increased the enthusiasm of the fishermen for training, and later, almost all the young fishermen on many islands participated in the archery organization.

Another measure of the Daishan Army made the fishermen on the islands feel impressed, because the Daishan Army opened its doors to collect fish, and as long as it was a fish caught by the fishermen, no matter how many Daishan troops would accept it. In the past, fishermen went out to sea to catch fish, but they couldn't sell them for money at all, and they could only spoil them if they couldn't eat them all. And they can't eat fish every day, but food, vegetables and cloth are very expensive, which also causes the poverty of the fishermen on the island, and is also the reason why the fishermen actively participate in piracy.

Now fishermen can sell the fish they catch, although the price is not high, but it can be turned into money, as long as they are diligent in fishing, they can naturally live a good life.

And one of the most important things for the fishermen is that the Haiphong guerrilla government has set up a shop on each island, where all kinds of food, cloth, and materials are available.

In addition to poverty, another reason why fishermen participate in piracy is that they are short of materials, and the islands are far from the mainland, so that their daily necessities are very scarce. I want to go to the mainland to buy it, but I don't have any money, what should I do, I can only rob it.

Now, a shipload of goods has been delivered to the island, and they have everything they need, and there is no money? Go fishing, send the fish to Daishan Island for money, and then buy things.

The reason why Daishan was able to open up to harvest fish was that Ren Siqi's canned fish experiment was finally successful.

Chen Zhong is really capable, and in less than a month after being appointed by Ren Siqi to be in charge of the canning business, he found a way to store canned food for a long time without spoiling.

The finished fish pieces are fried with a large amount of spices, fried and sealed in a clay pot. There are two ways to seal, one is to use cement to open the mouth, and then dry the cement. The other is to seal the mouth of the can with kraft paper.

The sealing with cement is the tightest, the sealing is good and the storage time is long, and the cement Daishan has it, and there is no cost, and this method has been widely used.

Although the sealing with kraft paper is not very good, the sealing is convenient and saves time, and various patterns can be drawn on the kraft paper to make the canned food appear high-grade.

However, Daishan is unable to make paper now, and after reporting to Ren Siqi, Ren Siqi carefully considered and decided to use the method of cement sealing.

After the successful development of canned fish, Chen Zhong quickly designed the production process of canned food, using streamlined production to organize the women of Daishan Island, and at the beginning of the production of more than 200 cans of canned food in one day. Then he formed regulations for every step of the production process, and finally wrote a book of canning production process.

With this process, production can be scaled up at any time as long as there are enough people.

After the first batch of canned fish was produced, Ren Siqi entrusted Liu Defu to take it for trial sale, a canned food contained two catties of fish, and the price approved by Ren Siqi was only ten yuan. Liu Defu sells for fifteen yuan, what can you buy for fifteen yuan? You can't even buy a pound of rice, but you can buy two pounds of canned food, and after the fish in it is eaten, the jar can be used as a container. Therefore, once Liu Defu put the canned food on the market, it was sold out in just a few days.

The price of fish in Daishan is a penny a catty, including cans for making canned food, firewood, spices, labor costs, the cost of a canned food is only five yuan, but it is ten yuan when it is wholesaled, so it is double the profit.

After the success of the canned fish market, Chen Zhong immediately expanded the scale of production, and all the women on Daishan Island were recruited to make canned food, and the daily output increased, with a maximum of more than 2,000 cans per day. Of course, if it weren't for the scale of clay pot production, the output of cans would have increased even more.

In this way, canned fish, the first fist product of the Daishan Army, finally took shape, and while canned fish brought a lot of profits to Daishan, it also had a far-reaching impact on the Haiphong guerrilla government. That is, the fishermen of the islands are becoming more and more popular! (To be continued.) )
