At the end of February of the thirtieth year of Yongli, Zhu Jin and Shang Kexi father and son formally reached a peace agreement, and Shang ordered Admiral Yan Ziming to withdraw from Huizhou, and handed over the west of Huizhou and the territory of Qiongya to Ming Zheng, and the two sides separated and guarded. biquge.info Zhu Jin immediately canonized the Dongguan guard general Zhang Guoxun as the general of the conquest and Miao Zhixiu as the general of the captivity, and transferred the two divisions and the five towns of the water division, Zhang Yuanxun, Xiao Chen and other departments to send troops to reinforce the Gengbu water division.
Miao Zhixiu really disobeyed, and only after the persuasion of the envoy did he express his willingness to join forces with Geng Fan's general Zeng Yangxing, but it took time to repair the old ships, and Zhu Jin was unwilling to force too much and agreed. Subsequently, Zhu Jin sent Liu Guoxuan to guard Huizhou, and Liu Jinzhong of Chaozhou went south to Qiongzhou to recruit landless people into Dongning. Although Liu Jinzhong claimed to be the commander of the order, he delayed it again and again on the grounds that there were many dependents of his subordinates, and that there were a small number of Qing troops under his rule and that there were not enough boats and boats needed to float the sea
When the news was transmitted back to Taiwan, Zheng Kezhang sighed with great emotion, the trajectory of history is not something that he can instigate lightly when his wings have not yet grown, but it is not easy to change slightly, and when the equivalent change is enough to accumulate to a qualitative change, the future will no longer be unchangeable
"This is An Dagong, this is Xie Dagong, and this is Qi Dagong." Zheng Kezhang introduced five Hongyi craftsmen to Su Dagong one after another, and of course there was a general sent by the Ministry of Rites. "This is a Qualcomm matter, if Master Su has anything to explain to the Yiren craftsman, you can let him translate in the center." Su Dagong looked at a few Yingguili people wearing checkered shirts and white stockings, and snorted lightly, and nodded arrogantly. "If you need anything, you can also ask the shipyard owner." In the same way, Zheng Kezhang also explained to the British. "If the shipyard can't be the master, you can also talk to Yu through Guò Gaotong."
"Your Highness." In fact, Qualtong did not know classical English, he could only translate the stammering Dutch spoken by one of the craftsmen, Anderson, into the same unspeakable Chinese. "I hope that the rest of my life will be able to live in a safe place, my salary and my usual food."
Zheng Kezang, who roughly heard what the other party said, pointed to the stilted building hidden in the bamboo forest in the distance: "The houses of several people have been arranged, but there is no fireplace, I hope a few people can get used to it, as for the diet, when a few people have eaten the dishes of the Ming Dynasty, presumably Ying Guili's local vegetables and Tianzhu's curry rice will no longer be able to eat, and the salary?" Of course, it depends on the table of several people, if they have the ability to meet their respective salaries, these small money, Yu Zi doesn't care. ”
After hearing this, several Yingguili people bowed to Zheng Kezang: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, under the verification of God, Yu and the others will do their best to build the best and fastest cruise ship for Your Highness." ”
"That's for the best." Zheng Kezhang chuckled, of course he didn't want any cruises. "By the way, who among you can draw a ship?" This is not even a matter of Qualcomm, so Zheng Kezhang had to reluctantly say it in modern English, which he had forgotten. "Line diagram?"
Several Brits, after talking to each other, determined what Zheng Kezhang was talking about: "Is Your Highness preparing to make a model ship?" ”
"Maybe!" Zheng Kezhang replied ambiguously. "I hope to hear good news from a few of you."
But Zheng Kezhang was destined to be disappointed, so Anderson shook his head very embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, this is an advanced technology that only a few local shipyards such as London can master, and it requires very advanced cartographic skills and mathematical knowledge, and the rest will not be able to." ”
"That's a shame." Zheng Kezhang said regretfully. "That's it, Gao Tongshi, you take a few Yingyi craftsmen to rest first, and then come back to work in three days, and after work, first let them complete a dhow of about 300 materials (note: the dhow is slightly higher than the sloop, its mainmast is located in the middle of the hull, and there are two or more bow schooners)." Qualcomm responded, and after writing down Zheng Kezang's request, he retreated with a few Brits, and at this time Zheng Kezhang said to Su Dagong, whose face was not a face and a nose was not a nose. "Master Su, is there anything in the boy camp that can be eye-catching?"
"The little cubs." When the words came out, Su Dagong knew that he had missed his mouth, you must know that the people who came to help every day were the same age as Zheng Kezang, so he hurriedly changed his words. "Yu hasn't seen anyone with this talent, but there are still one or two clever ones, and it's only once in three days that it's inevitably delayed."
"If the master thinks about it, Yu can arrange for a few of them to come every day, but most of their fathers arranged for their children to enter the camp with the intention of crossing the dragon gate, whether they are willing to turn to learn shipbuilding, and ask them what they mean."
"Yes, compared with going into battle to kill the enemy and studying, the shipwright is just a cheap job, and the so-called master craftsman is just a good talk." Su Dagong shook his head with a sigh, looking a little disheartened. "Eldest son, Yu just said that, don't delay other people's children because of Xiao Lao'er's nonsense."
"Actually, Yu doesn't see it that way, what's wrong with the shipwright? The key to why this domain should protect Dongning is that there are many ships on the sea, if there are no shipwrights such as you, where can there be such a vast warship. "Zheng Kezhang obviously felt that the key to why China has fallen behind the West from leading the world is because of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it has lagged behind in technological innovation." Besides, there are still officials in the former Song Dynasty, if Yu "Zheng Kezhang swallowed the words halfway through, yes, he is not the king of Yanping County, and it would be a bit arrogant to say this at this time. "I can't say that I can ask my father to reward Master Su for a green robe."
"Green robe? That has seven grades? Su Dagong was surprised and delighted, and said in his heart that he was old, and he still had the opportunity to be an official? But after all, he was well-informed and knew that Zheng Kezang's promise must have something to ask for, so he immediately bowed to Zheng Kezang and fell down. "What does the eldest prince let Yu do, the little old man has nothing to say."
"Get up, get up, Yu has already said that when you wait for the gray-haired people to kneel down and worship Yu, this kid, Yu can't afford it." Zheng Kezhang said as he helped the other party up. "As for what you want you to do, it's simple, you see a good seedling, Yu will try to persuade him to follow the apprentice, but you can't detain them, you have to let them follow Hongyi's side to learn, Yu needs a group of shipwrights who have learned from both China and the West, and they will be of great use in the future."
"Ma Yuan, Zhang Ci, Tang Tong, Wu Hu, Li Ping." Master Su took a fancy to a total of eight young children in the two phases of Jiashen and Yimao, but three of them were disciples of Jiangmen, obviously even if they agreed, the family would not agree, so Zheng Kezhang gave up directly, but the remaining five he still wanted to try to communicate once. "Call the other five, do you know what's going on?" The five teenagers shook their heads in unison. "Don't be afraid, it's not like you're waiting for something wrong." The five boys breathed a sigh of relief, which made Zheng Kezhang feel very unhappy, could it be that he was really so scary. "In the past few days, I have been helping in the shipyard, and Master Su has mentioned that he wants to accept a few of you as apprentices, "Since I am not happy, Zheng Kezhang will go straight to the knife." "Yu has agreed, so I don't know if you are willing."
"What! As an apprentice? A few young people snorted, if they heard that they could be apprentices to the shipwright before, they would definitely jump up and agree to come down, but now, they have become accustomed to the life of the children's camp and the companions who get along day and night, and they must be unwilling to let them be apprentices, but since Zheng Kezhang has already proposed, they dare not refuse immediately, so the young man named Tang Tong asked boldly. Battalion officer, are you the apprentice of Master Su, we are not considered to be members of the boy camp, and the battalion officer will no longer care about us? ”
"Unless you die or become a deserter, you will be a person in the boy camp for the rest of your life when you enter the boy boy camp, and you will not wait for you." Zheng Kezang's answer dispelled some people's doubts. "However, since I am going to be an apprentice at Master Su's side, I can't live in the camp anymore, I have to live in the shipyard, and I don't have to participate in the daily drills."
Hearing that there was no need to stand in line every day, Ma Yuan and Li Ping couldn't help but show joy on their faces, but Wu Hu, who was also a Yimao student, looked moved: "Battalion officer, so we won't be soldiers in the future, so we don't have to fight?" ”
"Of course, I haven't heard of shipwrights going to war." Zheng Kezhang chuckled, but after he finished speaking, he saw Wu Hu's brows frowning, Zheng Kezhang thought about it and seemed to have guessed something. "But you also have a great responsibility, you have to learn how to build a ship, build a big ship, and build a good ship. Think about it, if all the warships of this domain are in your hands, covering the sky and the sun, such a huge scene, wouldn't you be moved? ”
Listening to Zheng Kezang's incendiary words, the young man named Zhang Ci was not excited, but said with a sad face: "Battalion officer, is that why we can't be officials in the future." ”
Can't be an official anymore? The other four teenagers unanimously focused their eyes on Zheng Kezang's face, that's right, a considerable number of boys entered the camp for the future to be able to seek an official body with Zheng Kezang's rising tide, and suddenly heard that there was no chance to be an official today, and they were naturally a little shocked when they didn't explain it to their families.
"What's this?" Zheng Kezhang didn't deceive them, but he hesitated for a while and nodded in acknowledgement. "Yes, you can't be an official in a few years, but you have to be clear that even if you join the main army of the boy boy camp in the future, there are only a few who can become a stormtrooper officer and squad leader, and it may take many years to achieve the goal of becoming an official." Speaking of which, Zheng Kezhang added a guarantee. "If you can trust the battalion officer, five years later, the battalion officer will give you a background, and it will never be lower than the one who joined the main army of the boy boy camp." Having said that, the five teenagers can't help but think deeply. "That's it, today Yu Don't wait for an answer immediately, and Yu also allows you to go home and discuss with the elders, sort it out, and go home for a trip, and return to the camp in five days."
"Battalion officer," several teenagers were about to agree, when suddenly, Li Ping, who had been silent just now, thought of a rather critical question, so he hurriedly asked. "If our family members don't allow us to go to the boat yard for apprenticeship, will the camp officer be angry and will remove us from the boy boy camp?"
"Hehe," Zheng Kezhang laughed. "Yu still has some belly, although he will be angry, but he will not remove you from the list." Seeing a few teenagers who were relieved, Zheng Kezhang played with his heart and immediately threatened. "What happens when the battalion officer gets angry? Do you want to punish you and wait to make up for the missing exercises in one day? ”
"Ahh Several teenagers were startled, didn't they want their lives, and when they were panicking, they saw the evil smile on Zheng Kezang's face, so they breathed a sigh of relief. "The battalion officer is good or bad, the battalion officer is deceiving people."
"What battalion officers are good or bad! Is that what you should say? Zheng Kezhang reprimanded with a straight face. If you don't hurry up and pack up and go home, the ox cart has been waiting for a long time! ”
