: Brethra. There is a third update in the evening office, so stay tuned! What a coincidence!

Just as Jiu'er was hugging Deng Haonan, Zhao Chuanfeng turned the corner and saw the scene where the two hugged each other.

With Zhao Chuanfeng's eyes, he naturally saw that it was his daughter who hugged Deng Haonan. Instead of Deng Haonan molesting his daughter. With a light cough, he woke up Jiu'er, who was a little stupid, and hurriedly separated from Na Haonan.

Originally, there was one of Jiu'er, and the daughter's family was already very ashamed to take the initiative to hug Deng Haonan. At this time, he happened to be bumped into by his father again, and his tender white face turned red all of a sudden, until it was red to the back of his neck and ears.

"Brother Deng! Daddy! ”

The voice was like a mosquito, but Zhao Chuanfeng and Deng Haonan were still stunned and didn't speak, and she was so anxious that she suddenly stomped her feet. was about to explain, but at this time, he was too shy to open his mouth and quickly ran away.

Isn't this letting Lao Tzu carry the black cauldron?

Na Haonan didn't explain when he saw Jiu'er. looked at Zhao Chuanfeng at the moment and said embarrassedly: "Uncle Zhao." This is a misunderstanding! ”

Damn it! How to explain it? The darker it gets!

Deng Haonan was speechless for a while.

Zhao Chuanfeng walked over. smiled: The little girl was naughty, she bumped into the virtuous nephew, and I hope that the virtuous nephew is not strange".

Di Haonan said secretly: This old man can still speak!

Immediately replied that it was okay!

Zhao Chuanfeng invited Na Haonan into the study to talk. said: "The old man heard that the old man said that the virtuous nephew is looking for me, so the old man hurried back!" ”

"Exactly!"

Na Haonan nodded, so he briefly introduced a series of things today to Zhao Chuanfeng. As for the matter of pit the Dutch for 100,000 taels of gold, Deng Haonan didn't say a word, and Zhao Chuanfeng didn't ask.

The two tacitly skipped this question and went straight to the Pacific Trading Company and the construction of Subic Bay.

Na Haonan was not interested in the issue of the Pacific Trading Company, it was just an expedient measure used to prevaricate Governor Fernando, so he let Zhao Chuanfeng's trading station directly carry the signboard of the Pacific Trading Company. It can be regarded as a legal license for his secret trading station.

In this regard, Zhao Chuanfeng was naturally very happy. The Philippine Governor's Office is very strict with the control of Chinese commercial stations, and if Zhao Chuanfeng is asked to register and license his commercial station, it will not work at all without 100,000 taels of silver.

Na Haonan is most concerned about the construction of Subic Bay.

Zhao Chuanfeng asked, "Where is Subic?"

Na Haonan smiled: "Olongapo Bay." It's Uncle Zhao's secret shipyard."

Remembering that there was no word Subic at this time, he added: "That's what the Philippine Governor's Office is called!" ”

Zhao Chuanfeng nodded suspiciously and said, "The virtuous nephew will garrison the fleet in Subic Bay. I don't know if it's a resident. Or temporarily?.

Na Haonan thought for a while, and now he is going to develop the Xiaonanshan Naval Base slowly and covertly, and shift the focus to trade in the South China Sea. Therefore, it is necessary to have a supply base to make it easier.

So he said: "If the calculation is small, it is successful." Within a few days, Governor Fernando would escort Dutch prisoners of war out of Manila and back to Spain. And the Dutch will not rest on their laurels and will follow behind. Either rescue the Dutch prisoners of war or just kill them all! If Spain sent a fleet to escort it, the Dutch fleet would not be easy to get in the way. The best, then, would be for the Dutch Navy to keep chasing back Europe! In this way, the South China Sea will be safe for a long time, and I want to make a fortune before other forces even notice it! I've heard that there are quite a few Spanish treasure ships from Mexico, and I'd like to keep my fleet in Subic! ”

In the following year, the "San Pablo" returned from the Philippines to the Americas, thus opening a round-trip route between Mexico and the Philippines. In the second year of Wanli, two Manila merchant sails loaded with Chinese silk, cotton, porcelain and other goods sailed to Acapulco, Mexico, while Mexico, which is rich in gold and silver, carried gold and silver to Manila for trade with large Galen ships, marking the official operation of the famous Manila merchant sail trade. Note: Manila Commercial Sail is also known as the "ship of China". Because it was loaded with mainly Chinese cargo, there were many Chinese sailors in the ship. Moreover, the builders were mainly Chinese technicians and workers living in the Philippines. The Manila "Acapulco trade route is active, and it has lasted for a long time.

The Ming government did not know that Mexico was rich in silver, and always thought that the Philippines was rich in silver, so it encouraged maritime merchants to trade in Manila to increase silver income.

The huge profits led the Dutch to the eyes, blockaded the South China Sea, and broke out an eight-month war with the Ming Dynasty in April of the year of the intestine, and Na Haonan was at this juncture.

Zhao Chuanfeng nodded and said, "Yes, the merchants on the mainland and the Philippines know that the Dutch have blocked the shipping lanes, and the goods in the two places are very tight, and there is no market!" If you can transport a large number of goods at this time, it will be a good price! If the virtuous nephew's fleet is formed and plunders the Mexican treasure ships, it does not need more than one to intercept one, and the gold, silver and spices on it are worth millions of taels of silver! I heard that the San Pablo would come to Manila once a year, and it would carry seven or eight hundred tons of cargo. The tax on the Manila ships alone amounted to two thousand gold, and if she could be intercepted, the nephew's Pacific Trading Company would be the second Dutch East India Company."

The allure of the Spanish treasure ship to Deng Haonan is far more attractive than that of a peerless beauty.

The navy is a money-eating machine, and Hao Nan needs a huge amount of money to feed his navy, and if he can rob a Spanish Galen treasure ship, it will naturally be the best!

It's just that Di Haonan knows that Mexico and Manila are far away, and he can't know when the other party will leave and when he will arrive. In the vast sea, you can only rely on luck to meet each other. It must also have the right time, place and people, otherwise there will be a corvette to deal with the treasure

However, now that he has 100,000 taels of gold, he is not short of money for the time being. It is the most important thing to seize the time to improve your strength, otherwise even if the Spanish treasure ship comes, you can only stare dryly!

I only heard Zhao Chuanfeng continue: "If the virtuous nephew decides to let your fleet be stationed in Subic Bay, then the first thing to do is to build a water village and a fort in Subic Bay!" Subic Bay is deep and also moored boats, and there is a long knock at the mouth of the bay on the north and south sides, as long as you build a fort on it, you can defend the water plug! It's just that the mouth of Subic Bay is wider, and it needs large-caliber long-range heavy artillery to block it! ”

Na Haonan nodded, he was preparing to take Subic as his own and build a naval base.

"We have large-caliber heavy artillery! The 5,000-pound Longwei cannon is condescending on the fort, enough to block the mouth of the bay! ”

Zhao Chuanfeng had seen the five-pound Longwei cannon on the Hao Nanze warship. Know its power, don't doubt it.

"It's just that the nephew has to guard against the Spaniards!" Zhao Chuanji said: "After the virtuous nephew builds the fort, sooner or later he will be discovered by the Spaniards, in case they regret it." Ordinary water walls are not enough to defend against the Spanish army! ”

Na Haonan was also worried about this, but hearing that Zhao Chuanfeng seemed to have a way, he immediately asked: "What does Uncle Zhao mean?"

Zhao Chuanfeng smiled and said meaningfully: "Build a city!" ”

It doesn't need to be big, as long as it can garrison 3,000 soldiers, it can compete with the Spaniards and be on an equal footing with the Spaniards in the Philippines!

And sure enough, it was!

Na Haonan thought to himself: This Zhao Chuanfeng disappeared and wanted to encourage himself to compete with the Spaniards for the Philippines. Once the castle is built. Even if the two sides are at peace for the time being, with Zhao Chuanfeng's ambitions. It will definitely make a fuss about it, and it may provoke a war.

But. Na Haonan thought about it, Governor Fernando sold half of the Spanish fleet in the Philippines to himself, and soon some warships escorted the Dutch prisoners of war out of Spain, and it would take two years to return to Europe, and there was no threat to him at sea. On land, the Spanish army numbered just over 10,000 men stationed on the major Philippine islands, and the garrison near Manila consisted of only 3,000 men. The geographical location of Subic is dangerous, with high mountains and primeval forests behind it, which is not conducive to a direct attack by the Spanish army, with cliffs on both sides of the peninsula, guarded by forts, and the bay in front. Spain had to be escorted by warships.

In this way, it is enough to build a fortress castle guarded by 3,000 men, which is enough to compete with the Spaniards. Really. Zhao Chuanfeng proposed that this construction yì is very practical.

It's just that Haonan feels as if this plan should have been planned by Zhao Chuanfeng a long time ago.

Zhao Chuanfeng said with a smile: "In fact, when Subic built a city and opened a port, the old man had already had this idea. It's just that the old man doesn't have the strength of a virtuous nephew, and if he hadn't been guarding the mouth of the bay by the naval fleet, the castle would not have been built at all. Instead, it will cause death! ”

Sure enough, it was premeditated!

Na Haonan recalled in his heart that during this period of time, Zhao Chuanfeng gave him the idea, and he suddenly realized.

From the beginning when Zhao Chuanfeng asked himself to pretend to be a messenger to purchase warships, he thought of his secret shipyard and trading station, more than 1,000 armed soldiers, and then to the construction of the city at this time.

If this qiē is not there for Hao Nan, it should also be a step in Zhao Chuanfeng's plan. It's just that Zhao Chuanfeng is not as lucky and confident as that Haonan. So his plans have not yet been launched.

And Deng Haonan's arrival just made Zhao Chuanfeng's plan perfectly filled.

Na Haonan sighed in his heart, I have to say, Jiang is still old and spicy! If he hadn't been lucky enough to meet Zhao Chuanfeng, this trip to the Philippines might not have had such a huge gain.

I am a little grateful to Zhao Chuanfeng, but the two sides are more likely to use each other for mutual benefit.

"I don't know how long Uncle Zhao thinks it will take to complete the Subic Fortress?"

Zhao Chuanfeng said with a smile: "As long as the virtuous nephew can provide the defensive forces such as artillery and soldiers needed for the fortress and fort, the old man is confident that he can build a castle fortress that can accommodate 3,000 guards within a month!" ”

Sure enough, I guessed it right!

Deng Haonan smiled bitterly in his heart! I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky! Fortunately, Zhao Chuanfeng helped him. Doing everything is done with half the effort. But unfortunately, he seemed to have fallen into Zhao Chuanfeng's plan of not knowing whether it was good or bad.

"Then after the city is built, who will garrison and defend it?"

"Naturally, the virtuous nephew is coming to the garrison to guard!" Zhao Chuanfeng seemed to see Di Hao's doubts, and said with a smile: "Isn't it possible to let the old man's 1,000 useless family members guard it?" Their skills are far inferior to those of the virtuous nephews! I think it's better to let them go to the shipyard to help, it's just right! ”

Although Na Haonan didn't know what purpose this Zhao Chuanfeng was hiding in his heart, if the fortress and fort were guarded by his own subordinates, then Deng Haonan would be relieved!

Na Haonan nodded and said, "Okay!" There is Uncle Lao Zhao! The little nephew can send someone back to mobilize artillery and manpower, and if necessary, use the guns on the warship to build a fort defense! ”

"That's great!"

"It's just the cost of building a city and a port. I hope Uncle Zhao will tell me one or two first, and I will be prepared! ”

Zhao Chuanfeng said with a smile: "The cost of building the city is mainly on the consumption of artillery, and other expenses are not to be worried!" ”

Seeing that Zhao Chuanfeng didn't say anything, it was not good for Hao Nan to ask again.

However, Zhao Chuanfeng made such a big bet on himself, he must have a plan, if he didn't ask clearly, it would have been a fish bone in Deng Haonan's throat. Under the weather.

"Uncle Zhao helped me so much, I was terrified! If Uncle Zhao is useful to me, please tell me the truth! ”

Zhao Chuanfeng laughed, glanced at Na Haonan deeply, and said: "The virtuous nephew is the dragon and phoenix among the people, and he will become a great weapon in the future!" The old man is already old, and the male "belly core is only worn out, and he doesn't ask for a good road for the afternoon girl in the future!" It turned out that Zhao Chuanfeng was engaged in speculation. Do venture capital on Na Haonan!

This explanation is reasonable, Deng Haonan asked him about his purpose, and his heart was much more comfortable.

Immediately, he said: "Uncle Zhao, don't worry, if I am developed, I will ensure that the Zhao family is rich!" "Good!" Zhao Chuanfeng said happily: "If you have a virtuous nephew, this sentence will be done!" ”

Then Zhao Chuanfeng suddenly asked: "The virtuous nephew has been here for a few days, and I don't know that there are elders in the virtuous nephew's family. Have you ever been married! ”

Di Haonan was stunned for a moment. Xindao: Don't you want to be related to yourself? remembered Jiu'er's delicate appearance. The softness that just entered the arms was a little reluctant. Deng Haonan suddenly remembered the virtuous little lady at home on Shannan Island, and suddenly felt guilty. Then I stopped thinking about it and told the truth.

Zhao Chuanfeng heard that Di Haonan already had a little lady, so he didn't ask more at the moment, but humbly said that he would have the opportunity to visit Na Haonan's parents in the future.

Na Haonan knew that all the maritime merchants who often sold goods by sea had a fortune of millions. Especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The implementation of the sea ban only prohibited the taxation of the imperial court, and private smuggling was not affected.

Taking Zhao Chenggong as an example, a German scholar said, "In addition to relying on the tyrannical business tax to earn 2,000 gold per ship, and relying on his own speculative business, he finally accumulated a great asset." His ships numbered three thousand, and he made his owners sail to Phora, Manila, Malacca, etc., and he was above his monarch in terms of luxury and wealth" even the other members of the Cheng family. All are rich and rival the country. For example, Zheng Tai, a household official, "guards the Golden Gate, and the wealth is from millions to tens of millions, and the few are millions"

It can be said that when it comes to money, they are all the best of the Ming Dynasty. It's just that the status of a Ming merchant is low. Even if he has a net worth of millions, he is not as detached as the Ming Dynasty's scholars.

However, the big businessmen overseas are different, Zhao Chuanfeng is in the Philippines, and his huge fortune has won the respect of the Spaniards, and his status is transcendent.

Therefore, Na Haonan guessed that Zhao Chuanfeng deliberately asked about his marriage match, coupled with his speculation on Deng Haonan, he almost wanted to marry his daughter to Deng Haonan. In order to completely tie up Na Haonan.

It's just that with Zhao Chuanfeng's status today. Coupled with the blood of the Southern Song Dynasty royal family, he categorically would not let his daughter do it to Deng Haonan

After figuring it out, Na Haonan was immediately relieved. It's just that. Thinking about Jiu'er's delicate appearance in his mind. I can't help but feel a little lost in my heart.

Then the two talked about some details, and then went their separate ways to arrange manpower.

※

Governor Fernando had already moved faster than Na Haonan had imagined, and he had already decided to send Van Weit and other Dutch prisoners of war to Madrid, the Spanish capital, two days later.

It seems that Governor Fernando can't wait to get promoted and make a fortune as soon as possible, after all, it will take more than two years to go back and forth, and he will get his wish one day earlier if he starts one day earlier.

When Na Haonan met with Governor Fernando, he particularly emphasized that the Penghu fleet of the Dutch Navy would not give up and would definitely intercept it halfway.

Governor Fernando felt that Deng Haonan's words made sense, and at the same time, the defenders of the fortress of Tyres discovered that there were Dutch warships in the open sea, so they ordered the remaining Philippine fleet to reorganize and escort the sea ships escorting the Dutch prisoners.

The Dutch East India Company was shocked to learn that Governor Fernando was going to take Van Witt to Spain. Hurriedly sent people to negotiate, but Governor Fernando had already sent people back to Spain half a month in advance to deliver the letter, so it was impossible to accept their negotiation conditions.

The Dutch were shut out, and they were immediately annoyed.

The next day, more than 30 warships of the Dutch Navy's Penghu Fleet demonstrated off the coast of Manila, and Major Buckson saw that the Spanish Lu had dumped him, so he ordered the shelling of the Teres fort at the mouth of Manila Bay at about 3 p.m.

Deng Haonan was inspecting his fleet training at the Sanglai Naval Base when he heard the sound of artillery. hurriedly drove the Black Pearl to cheer.

When he arrived at Tires with Deng Haonan, he saw the true face of the Dutch fleet, with more than 30 warships lined up in an endless line.

The Dutch fleet sailed from south to north along the sea not far from Tierres, and kept firing at the fortress of Tierres as it went. The artillery fired one after another, and the sound was like a long thunderclap that lasted for a long time.

The cannonballs flying in the sky hit the perimeter of the Tyreth Fortress, which immediately stirred up countless water columns on the sea, filled the smoke and dust next to the fortress, and splashed earth and rocks in an instant.

On the other hand, the large-caliber artillery of the Tierres Fortress was equally ferocious. The roaring sound of cannons was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. The cannonballs struck the Dutch battleship with a long whistling sound, and suddenly several huge columns of water were lifted, which was very alarming.

Deng Haonan watched the battle on the Black Pearl, watching the Dutch fleet and the Spanish fortress bombard, and knew it in his heart.

The Dutchman's naval gun, Deng Haonantong, was already aware of the Black Pearl and was not surprised. It's just that the Spanish shore defense cannon is beyond Deng Haonan's imagination, and its power and range are far more than the large-caliber cannon on the Bashi Fortress. Even his own 5,000-pound Longwei cannon is not as good as others'.

It seems that the Spaniards did not show themselves their true defensive capabilities, and it was only when they did they show their fangs when they were in earnest.

Na Haonan sighed in his heart, the Philippines can rule in Spain for hundreds of years, it is not a shit luck, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and the Spanish Empire still has considerable vitality.

Thanks to the book jujube horn, how to fly how to deduct the "fire roasted old hen, black dragon swordsman and other friends cast valuable votes!" ，
