The Ningyuan Zhongyou Station that Pan Batian is now guarding is the most important military garrison in the tension forces except for Tuanshan Fort, for no other reason, this is the dock, and it is also the only outlet to the sea in Nanning.

The coastline of Ning Yuanwei is very long, but there are not many places in the deep-water port suitable for the Dafu ship to dock, and only Ning Yuanzhong has built a wharf.

Today, Zhang Zhang took Fang Yizhi to Ningyuan Zhongyou to inspect the work. Three days ago, Zu Dashou, the chief soldier of Liaodong, did not miss the appointment, and handed over half of the only half of the goods in the tattered naval division in Liaodong -- five warships and eighteen medium-sized lucky ships to Ningyuan's Zhongyou Institute.

Zhang Li's riding skills were not bad, but now the southern part of Ning Yuanwei was under the control of the Tuanshan Army, and there was no danger. Therefore, Zhang Li chose to ride a horse instead of a car, after all, the speed of riding a horse is more than twice as fast as riding a horse-drawn carriage, which can save a lot of time.

At this moment, Zhang Li was riding on a tall horse, and Chaolu was escorted by more than 100 Mongolian cavalry. And that Fang Yizhi also learned to ride a horse in Tuanshan Fort during this time - Zhang Zhang demanded that the civil officials of Tuanshan Fort must learn to ride horses, and no one was an exception.

It was still early when Zhang Li came out of Tuanshan Fort, and Tuanshan Fort was more than forty miles away from Ningyuan's Zhongyou, and in less than an hour, Zhang Zhang could faintly see the city wall of Ningyuan's Zhongyou.

After galloping for a while, the tension gradually lowered the horse's speed, because he had already seen Pan Batian and his party who were out of the city to greet him.

When the horse came to Pan Batian, Pan Batian immediately gave a standard military salute: "Lord Zhang has worked hard, and the last general has been waiting for a long time." ”

Zhang Li laughed and glanced at Pan Batian appreciatively. quipped: "Lao Pan has been promoted to the position of garrison this time, and now he is talking and behaving more and more like the lord of a city." ”

Pan Batian smiled. Lang said: "It's all up to adults to cultivate ......"

Zhang Li bowed slightly, and briefly greeted a few words. So he led the men and horses straight to the docks. When he came to the dock, Zhang Zhang couldn't help frowning.

There was nothing wrong with the dozen or so cargo ships, but they were a little old, and the sailors were basking in the sun on the deck, looking a little scattered.

And those five warships disappointed Zhang Li!

Zu Dashou, the old horseman, actually dismantled all the cannons on the warship!

Pan Batian walked up to Zhang Zhang and said hatefully: "Master Zhang, as you can see. These ships were all without artillery. The last general also sharply questioned the escort Qianzong. Mr. Qian said that the artillery was gone......"

"Floating?!" Zhang Li sneered and chewed on these two words.

Liaodong's military salaries, grain and grass, and armaments and materials were intercepted by officials at all levels of the imperial court, and in the end, only sixty percent could reach Zu Dashou.

This matter is "understood by everyone", but it is not easy to deal with the correspondence documents, and there is a big gap between the actual materials received and the paper -- this is difficult for these civil officials in the Ming Dynasty, so the word "floating" was invented.

You see, it's not that the food is not worth the account, but the ships that transport the food and salary are all fucking like the "Titanic", hitting the iceberg - uh. No, it capsized in a storm......

That's when you go to Shenyang for transportation first, you will take the waterway to save time. But after Shenyang was lost. Jinzhou and Ningyuan are actually very close to Shanhaiguan, and the materials are also shipped from Shanhaiguan. However, civil officials have always been "forgetful", even if it is only a mile away. When I say waterway transportation, that is, waterway, "sunken ship" and "floating" are also very normal!

Zhang Zhang shook his head. If there is a ship, there will be a mountain fort of the artillery regiment. Especially the jack Furlong cannon. According to the port side, starboard side and bow of a ship, there are a total of three doors, that is, fifteen doors, Tuanshan Fort can make it up by gritting its teeth.

In addition to the main gun, it is necessary to equip more than ten 300-pound furlong machine guns, and there are many mountain forts. After all, there are not many thousand-pound franc machines allocated by the imperial court, but there are many three-hundred-pound franc cannons.

Zhang Li had already made up his mind in his heart, these five warships and fifteen cargo ships would be the future Tuanshan Army and Sailors.

A spark can start a prairie fire!

Shipbuilding is not as good as building guns, which is an impossible task for Tuanshan Fort in the short term, and at present, it mainly depends on the integration of the existing imperial court sailors.

Zheng Zhilong can be used as foreign aid at present, but he can't plot against him - people are not stupid, and the strength of the sea throws himself ten streets!

Let's take it slowly!

Thinking of this, the disappointment on Zhang Li's face swept away, and he calmly said to Pan Batian: "The sailors on these ships are trained according to the standards of the Tuanshan Army. It doesn't matter if you don't understand naval warfare, you have to choose people from those sailors, and the training will be left to you. In the future, this official will specially find someone to come and lead the mountain army and water division, and you are now mainly training the spirit of these people! ”

Pan Batian knew very well the training and drill code of the Tuanshan Army, and when he heard Master Zhang say that he did not want to command the sailors himself, but only managed the training first, he responded loudly: "The last general will obey the order!" In the end, there is no guarantee that in less than a month, all these lazy guys will be very different! ”

Zhang Zhang nodded and said, "Well, this official believes in your ability. ”

This made Pan Batian's heart hot, and he immediately said again: "The last general will not disappoint the adults!" ”

Zhang Li bowed slightly, and turned his head to look at Fang Yizhi behind him. Fang Yizhi is the director of the Tuanshan Fort Arsenal, but he is now controlled by Song Yingxing. Song Yingxing is talented, and he quickly won Fang Yizhi's respect through his ability. Under his eyes, he regarded himself as Song Yingxing's deputy.

However, Fang Yizhi's talent is not just a factory director!

Zhang Zhang glanced at Fang Yizhi and said lightly: "Mizhi, in the future, you will sit in Ningyuan Zhongyou and be responsible for all negotiations with the Zheng family." ”

Fang Yizhi was taken aback, and immediately reacted - Lord Zhang is going to take care of all the foreign trade matters by himself!

At present, the largest source of income of Tuanshan Fort is the pharmaceutical industry.

But those pills and the people of the Ming Dynasty didn't buy it, they were more accustomed to eating decoction - after all, the pill of tension was not an elixir, it cured all diseases, and the effect was similar to that of decoction.

However, the Mongols and Jurchens liked the pills of Tuanshan Fort very much, and the sales volume in the last two months were on the scale of 50,000 taels of silver. However, this is not the end, Master Zhang actually started the idea of the East and the South Seas, and dumped the pills to Japan, Manraka and Siam through Zheng Zhilong, and the sales volume was very considerable.

"Manraka" was the name for Malacca in the Ming Dynasty, and "Siam" was the name given to Thailand in the Ming Dynasty, and these two places were the most prosperous places in the South Seas in the 17th century.

In the 17th century, the scientific and technological culture of the East and the South Seas lagged far behind that of the Ming Dynasty, and of course the pharmaceutical industry was also very backward. The decoctions prescribed by traditional Chinese medicine are complex and not easy to spread. However, tension pills are different, and you can take any pill if you get any disease, and you don't need a doctor to have a high level of medical knowledge...... (To be continued.) )
