On the Taiwan issue, Luo Jian thought more long-term than Shi Kefa, and on the way to Shanghai County by boat, Luo Jian was already thinking about the garrison and development after the recovery of Taiwan.

"Xinghua, what are you thinking? Can't even hear you when I talk to you? Shi Kefa knew that Luo Jian was easily distracted when he thought about problems, so he ignored it after shouting a few times, knowing that he was thinking about things again.

"Hehe, I'm thinking about the management and development of Taiwan after it is recovered." Luo Jian said with a smile.

"You, this battle hasn't even started yet, and you're thinking so far?" Shi Kefa said with a smile.

"Brother Xian, don't look at the vigorous war we are preparing for the war in Taiwan now, it will only be a matter of a few days if we really want to fight, if we don't think about the next issues now, we will be caught off guard by then." Luo Jian said.

"That's the same, have you considered who to garrison Taiwan?" Shi Kefa asked.

"I have two candidates here, Brother Xian, you should also consider it? One is Huang Fei, the other is Zheng Hongkui, Brother Fei Huang, you also think about it, who do you think is more suitable? Luo Jian said.

Zheng Zhilong heard that Luo Jian had brought out his brother Zheng Hongkui, which was completely unexpected by him, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Shi Kefa also thought about it when he heard Luo Jian's words.

Huang Fei has no big problem in terms of personal character, since he joined the Yangzhou Army, he has been obeying orders and obeying commands, which can be regarded as hard work, but he has only been a general in the inland water division, and has not fought at sea, and Taiwan's defense must be dominated by the navy in the future.

And Zheng Hongkui was known for preserving his strength when he was Hongguang in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and he was a person who could not even listen to the words of the emperor at that time. Now let him be stationed in distant Taiwan. Shi Kefa was even more uneasy.

"Brother Feihuang. What do you think? Luo Jian continued to ask Zheng Zhilong.

"Metropolitan Governor, Governor, if you trust Damu, I think it will be no problem for Damu to guard Taiwan." Zheng Zhilong is considered to be virtuous this time, and he actually recommended his son Zheng Chenggong, it seems that he is not optimistic about Huang Fei and Zheng Hongkui.

"No way!" Luo Jian and Shi Kefa actually said in unison, which made Zheng Zhilong very embarrassed, he thought that most of the governors and supervisors thought that Zheng Chenggong was too young.

"Brother Feihuang, Da Mu is the best choice for our future naval commander. His battlefield is on the vast ocean, and it is certainly not okay to trap him on an island in Taiwan. Luo Jian's words quickly resolved Zheng Zhilong's embarrassment.

"Brother Xian, Brother Feihuang, do you think this will work? Zheng Hongkui has been stationed in Fujian for several years, and he must have some experience in coastal defense, and Huang Fei has a strong sense of the overall situation and is resolute in obeying orders. Luo Jian said.

"Xinghua. What you said reminds me of another problem, we now have more and more islands overseas. Like Sulfur Island and Hawaii Island, these islands are not small, they can be dealt with now, and I am afraid that in the future there will be a navy to defend them, right? The strength of our navy is indeed too weak. Shi Kefa said.

"Yes, Dadudu, over the years, Damu has been attacking everywhere, although they have also brought a group of people out, but our navy is still very short of talents." Zheng Zhilong also followed Shi Kefa's words.

"Brother Feihuang, it's really glad that you can consider this, I used to think about building the Army School first, but now it seems that the Navy School is the top priority." Luo Jian said.

What Shi Kefa and Zheng Zhilong said actually spoke to Luo Jian's heart, and the establishment of a naval school first also has an advantage, that is, to form a guiding role among Chinese soldiers that attaches importance to the sea.

In the end, the few people still agreed to let Huang Fei be the chief general of the Taiwan defenders, and Zheng Hongkui was the deputy general, of course, according to the rules of the Nanjing government, the garrison generals could not interfere in local government affairs.

"Xinghua, have you considered the governor of Taiwan Province? This is more important than military generals. Shi Kefa said.

Today's Shi Kefa also learned the extreme importance of Taiwan's geographical location from the Dutch's stubborn reluctance to give up Taiwan, and began to think about the problem in the long run.

"How many candidates, Brother Xian, are you also considering it? One is Lu Wei, Weisheng has been tempered in the past few years, and his overall situation and ability have improved very quickly, if he is in Taiwan, then I am the most assured, but I think that Hawaii Island will be developed in the future, and I want to put Weisheng there, and my heart is entangled. Luo Jian said.

Luo Jian has thought about this problem, from the perspective of the grand strategy of the ocean, if a fleet is placed on Hawaii Island in the future, the control of the Pacific Ocean will be greatly increased, but it is definitely not enough to only build Hawaii Island into a naval base, it is necessary to develop it, and this candidate is extremely important.

"And who else?" Shi Kefa asked.

"There is also Zhang Zhengchen in Huai'an now, I think with his ability, he is a little condescending to Huai'an now, but I don't know if he is willing to go to Taiwan, after all, in everyone's mind, Taiwan is still a wild place, right?" Luo Jian said.

"I still think Yuhou (Zhang Zhengchen) is more suitable, now Weisheng can't come out, I'll talk to Yuhou in the future and see what he means?" Shi Kefa said.

"That's okay, mainly to make clear the importance of Taiwan to us, once Taiwan is developed, its prosperity will definitely not be worse than our inland provinces." Luo Jian said.

Zheng Zhilong watched Luo Jian and Shi Kefa discussing the issue of Taiwan's chief executive, but he thought far away in his heart.

When Zheng Zhilong decided to defect to the Nanjing government, he was actually ready to be idle, but he did not expect to be appointed as the Minister of the Navy by the Nanjing Government.

I heard that after the recovery of Taiwan, the Nanjing Government will convene a special meeting on army building, which is to study and shift the focus of army building to naval construction, and also to ask him, the minister of the navy, to make good preparations and make a special report at this meeting.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong is a little anxious to hope that his son Zheng Chenggong will come back soon, with Damu's writing and knowledge, and he will add some ideas to it, and the report will definitely be written very well.

A few people talked about things along the way, but they were not lonely, and the speed of the ships down the river was fast, and they soon arrived at the temporary military wharf in Shanghai, although it was a temporary wharf, and the construction did not really start, but this address Wang Xiuchu really chose well, and the "Qi Jiguang" and "Huo Quai" are also moored here.

"Xinghua, are you going to build the naval base here in the future?" Scofa asked as he boarded the makeshift dock.

"Yes, it's not very far from the civil wharf in Shanghai, and it's very convenient to transfer materials." Luo Jian said.

"Wang Xiuchu has been in Shanghai for a few years, right? Last time, I heard you say that Shanghai is very well built, this time I want to take a good look, I really haven't had a chance to come and see it after all these years of being busy. Shi Kefa said.

"I promise I won't let you down, Brother Feihuang, I'm afraid you'll have to stay in Shanghai in the future." Luo Jian said with a smile.

Luo Jian is basically satisfied with everything Zheng Zhilong has done since he became the Minister of the Navy, it should be said that in such a complicated situation as the coastal area at the end of the Ming Dynasty, people who can play a large area of the world must have their capable side, and now Zheng Zhilong's strengths have basically been brought into play, as the so-called people make the best use of their talents.

The Seventh Division and the two battleships went out for training, but they were not in the port, and Luo Jian and the others were not on a sea boat, so they could only wait for them to come back from training at the dock.

"Brother Xian, it's still early, let's go to the civil wharf first? It's not too far away anyway. Luo Jian suggested.

The early arrivals parked their wagons in front of the temporary military dock, and the three of them took a carriage and headed for the civilian dock.

I had heard that the Shanghai wharf was very beautifully repaired, and Shi Kefa and Zheng Zhilong of the Admiralty had long heard calluses in their ears, and today I finally had the opportunity to come and take a look.

Rao is two of them had already made mental preparations, but the scene they saw in front of them still surprised Shi Kefa and Zheng Zhilong, and even Luo Jian, who had just come here a few months ago, felt a little incredible.

What makes Luo Jian feel incredible is that the construction speed of the Shanghai wharf is too fast, not only the wharf has been repaired, but the rows of houses and warehouses outside the wharf have also begun to lay the foundation, looking at this situation, it will not be a few months, and it will be able to start absorbing a large number of merchant ships.

"Brother Xian, Brother Feihuang, what's wrong with you?" Luo Jian saw that Shi Kefa and Zheng Zhilong were both in a daze, and shouted beside him.

"Xinghua, this is what you call the Shanghai wharf? Are you sure you didn't bring it from there? Shi Kefa pointed to the sky.

"Brother Xian, every grass, tree, brick and stone here was built by Wang Xiuchu with the people of Shanghai, but it's none of my business." Luo Jian said with a smile.

"I don't believe that without your guidance, Wang Xiuchu could think of building the dock like this. With all the docks like this, I can't wait to see what Shanghai will look like. Shi Kefa said with a smile.

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous." Zheng Zhilong muttered beside him.

"Feihuang, what do you say? What's ridiculous? You mean it's ridiculous to build a dock like this? Shi Kefa approached Zheng Zhilong, heard his muttering, and asked suspiciously.

"Alas, Overseer, how could I have such an idea. I mean, I didn't want to listen to the call of the Governor and the Governor, thinking that my little family business in Fujian could fight against Nanjing, but fortunately I listened to Sen'er's advice, otherwise I don't know how I died. Zheng Zhilong said with a wry smile.

Hearing Zheng Zhilong's words, Luo Jian and Shi Kefa both laughed.

"Governors, Governors, our naval docks should also be built like this." Zheng Zhilong pointed to the spacious and beautiful Shanghai wharf with envy and said.

"There are still some differences between military docks and civilian docks, we can't copy them, and then study them carefully after this comes down, now the government doesn't have so much money to repair military seaports, but your naval research institute can study this problem as a topic first." Luo Jian said.

Zheng Zhilong hurriedly agreed. (To be continued.) )
