"Lord, now Dongning can build four plywood gunboats of 3,000 materials every six months. (If you like this book, please collect it biquge.info)" Ma Yuan reported to Zheng Kezhang that relying on the massive raw materials from the dismantling of Shi Lang's ships, the various shipyards in Dongning could produce for several years without loss. "Among them, the former Boy Scout Shipyard can also occasionally build two notification ships of about 1,000 materials, if we take the current establishment of the dog fighting team's ten 3,000-material warships and two notification ships as a model, then before June this year, the Taijiang team will be able to complete the reloading."

"In this way, even if the establishment of each team is expanded by 12 3,000 plywood ships and 3,000 material notification ships, it can still be completed within the year?" Zheng Kezhang asked, and Ma Yuan gave an affirmative answer. "The speed of shipbuilding is still too slow, if the four shipyards can only launch one plywood gunboat in half a year, then increase the number of shipyards." Zheng Kezhang instructed that it was difficult to work on a large-scale attack on land, and if the equipment of the sailors could not be improved, then Dongning's good life would not last long. "How did the four of you take charge of yourself back then, and now you can let Yimao and Bingchen come out of the two phases."

"Yes." Ma Yuan replied. "After the minister returns, he will arrange for at least two new yards that can produce plywood boats within the year."

Zheng Kezhang nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "How is the progress of the Iron Bone Warship now?" ”

"A thousand-feed ship has been launched." Because it is the first attempt, so Zheng Jun shipyard has no experience in how to produce iron keel at all, at the beginning of the keel is not deformed or the place where the screw riveting and iron nails are reserved is not reserved, fortunately, the iron keel can be returned to the furnace after the scrap, so the loss is not large, and the technology that should be mastered is initially mastered, and it is found that it is too troublesome to transport the iron keel from the iron-smelting workshop, so it can only be added to the iron-smelting furnace and casting facilities in the shipyard, and finally it is a good thing, and the time has passed for a long time. "The other 3,000-material gunboat has also completed the casting of the keel, and is preparing to lay the ship's plank, and the minister is ready to wait for the gunboat to have no problem after the trial voyage, and then start to produce 4,000 materials and 5,000 materials of large plywood ships."

"It's also a move by the old man to seek the country." Because he crossed the river by feeling the stones, Zheng Kezhang could not object to Ma Yuan and others' caution, but the supply of iron was still insufficient, so he could not ignore the relationship between supply and demand. "Have you estimated how much material will be needed to produce a 4,000-material iron skeleton ship?"

"20,000 catties of iron are used when making the iron keel of the 1,000-material notification ship, and 60,000 catties of iron are used when making the iron keel of the 3,000-material plywood warship, so it is estimated that the iron keel of the 4,000-material ship should be 120,000 catties, and the iron keel of the 5,000-material ship is estimated to be around 200,000 catties."

120,000 catties, 200,000 catties? Zheng Kezang smacked his tongue, in this way, the iron material he grinded with the salt and iron division is only enough to produce one 5,000 ships in half a year, and it is only enough to produce three 4,000 ships and two 1,000 ships in the whole year.

"So, in the first half of this year, Qing will also produce a maximum of 3,000 materials and 4,000 materials for each ship?" Zheng Kezang estimated that this was also one of the reasons why Ma Yuan and they had to go step by step. "It's struggling." After getting Ma Yuan's confirmation, Zheng Kezhang sighed. "By the way, it shouldn't affect the sailor's costume change, right?"

"Back to the Lord, no." Ma Yuan explained. "Because we consider that we will produce large ships in the future, we have specially dug a new Taiao, and the craftsmen are also drawn from various ship yards, so it has nothing to do with the original production of warships."

"Are the 4,000 and 5,000 ships made in the style of the Franc Galen ship in the port of Dog?"

"The minister and Tang Tong, Wu Hu, Li Ping and a few of them have discussed, and feel that it is still difficult to rush to Galen with their ability now, and besides, the four thousand materials and five thousand materials are a little cramped with the shape of Galen, or it is better to build a three-masted schooner and a foremast sail three-masted ship first, and then build a large ship with more than 6,000 materials and then build a full-sail ship, if it can reach the keel of 7,000 materials and 8,000 materials in the future, it is not too late to consider using Galen's shape."

"The Qing army entered the three southeastern coastal provinces, so that the old tactics of the feudal clan to raid the sea and raid the border to plunder the population have become ineffective." After Zheng Kezhang inspected the naval division's shipyard, he immediately convened a military meeting to discuss the plan for the next step of the war against the mainland. "I think that the current large-scale operation may be replaced by a small-scale attack below the sentry post."

"The minister thought that the Qing court's purpose in reinstating the three major naval divisions was not only to compete with the feudal clan for the Fujian Sea, but also to attack Dongning again, so it should not focus on land operations in the future," Huang Chuxu clearly opposed Sun Youlao's Jianyi. "Instead, we should take the three major naval divisions as the enemy, and give priority to destroying and delaying the speed of their reconstruction."

"The minister thinks that at this time, he should take Zhoushan north." Yan Daohe stood up and built yì. "Now that the main force of the Qing Dynasty is pressed south, Jiangnan is empty, as long as Zhoushan is occupied, the domain can easily enter and exit the Jiangnan and deter Hanghu, which can not only further mobilize the strength of the Qing army, but also collect sea taxes from the maritime merchants of Jiangsu and Zhejiang nearby."

"It's better to take Zhoushan than to go south to Qiongzhou." Qiongzhou not only has a large number of registered population, but also many Tan people who are eyed by Zheng Kezang, and the defense force is relatively weak. "This domain once occupied Qiongzhou, and the terrain is familiar, but now the main force of the Qing army in Guangdong Province is the Hunan Guilu Battalion, and the terrain is not familiar, so the location is advantageous to me; In addition, although the waterway between Qionglei and Qionglei is very narrow, after all, it is necessary to cross the sea, so it is just right to use the advantage of the water division of this domain to intercept it. ”

What are the advantages of the sailor? Zheng Kezang frowned, Zheng Jun's sailors may have some advantages over the Qing army, but this advantage is based on the fact that the Qing army's sailors were completely destroyed and there were not enough warships, in fact, the number of warships that Zheng Jun could fight was not much, and once it suffered losses in the string battle, this was also something Zheng Kezang could not bear.

"Qiongzhou is remote, and it may not be able to mobilize the main force of the Qing army." Zheng Kezhang was still thinking about it, and here he heard Tang Shenzhi stand up and support Yan Daoji's construction. "Jiangnan is a land of wealth, once shaken, it will inevitably deter the Qing court, so that the anti-Qing people in the world know that there is still the possibility of excitement, and to do this, entering and occupying Zhoushan is a prerequisite."

"The Qing court has been closed to the sea for a long time, and there are not many people living in Zhoushan. Ma Ying was inclined to fight on the southern front, so he was stabbing at the Zhoushan plan. "In case of attracting the Zhejiang Navy Division and the Zhenjiang Navy Division to attack together, the Navy Division of this domain is scattered for thousands of miles of sea territory, and how can the lone army of Zhoushan be able to stop it."

"Since you have to do your best to gain a foothold in Zhoushan, can't it be that the Penghu team alone can prevent the Qing Lu from landing in Qiongzhou?"

Hearing that several sailor generals from the Boy Scout had a tendency to attack each other, Zheng Kezhang coughed lightly at the moment, and immediately suppressed the audience, so Zheng Kezhang looked at Wu Shu: "Wu Qing, you are the head of the Military Academy, what is your opinion?" ”

"The minister thinks that Zhoushan and Qiongzhou have their own benefits." Wu Shu laughed, speaking of which Zheng Kezang's action of cleaning up Liu Guoxuan made him quite vigilant, so he didn't fight for power with Lin Sheng and Hong Gongzhu on weekdays, even if it was still based on mud today. "Of course, it is not feasible to attack and harass the three provinces of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong with a small force."

"After all, the clan is weak now." Hong Gongzhu couldn't hold it back, and he said. "It's better to focus on it."

The so-called weak strength of Dongning does not actually refer to the land division, although the total number of land divisions is only 25,000, but the reorganized six divisions are still slightly stronger than the Zheng army when Zheng Jing just went west, but the Zheng army and water division are indeed much worse than before, unless Zheng Kezhang can allow those Zheng troops who have surrendered to the enemy to return to the army, otherwise this situation will continue for a long time.

"It seems that there is still Zhang Huangyan's old ministry in Zhoushan." Lin Sheng was also inclined to the plan to go north. "Or you can contact the department."

"It's not like these people haven't been in contact with the clan before, but how effective is it?" This is one of the reasons why various anti-Qing forces failed one after another in the late Ming Dynasty, so He Qian was not optimistic about contacting the local anti-Qing forces in Zhoushan. "And the minister thinks that even if he sends troops to Zhoushan, it is better to invest a small force, so as not to be careless and damage the foundation of the domain."

This is a difficult problem to solve, without enough manpower support, Zheng Jun will not be able to let go of his hands and feet to fight, but in order to obtain the necessary manpower, naturally he cannot expect to bring back five or six Han people from the South China Sea area, and the return of seven or eight Han people, and he can only find a way on the mainland, but in that case, a big war will be inevitable.

"A small group of raids can not conquer the walled city, and it is easy to be trapped by a large group of Qing troops, it seems that the loss will not be very large, but it may not be imconsiderable." Since the sailors could not go ashore, and those who went ashore were all drawn from the land division, Yang Bokang was under the control of the Zuo Yongwei division and endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't hold it back. "Rather than a small attack being damaged, it's better to hit big or not fight at all."

"Don't fight?" Huang Chuxu shook his head hurriedly. "What will happen to the Qing army's three provincial water divisions once the purge is completed?"

"Three Provincial Water Divisions?" Cai Qi'an, who was under the command of the Right Martial Arts Division, agreed with Yang Bokang's opinion. "First, it will take time for the Qing court to restore the water division, and second, the battle of Jieshi caused the Guangdong Provincial Naval Division to shrink in the Pearl River, and the Fujian Provincial Naval Division to hide in the Ma River, how can this be attacked?"

"That's why we want to occupy Zhoushan," Yan Dao repeated the old tune. "It's good to uproot the Zhejiang Provincial Sailor in Zhoushan first."

"It's not that easy." Ma Ying shook her head. "There are many water systems and ports in Zhejiang Province, how do you know that the Qing army will definitely fight to the death with this domain in the ocean of Zhoushan, even if Commander Yan is not bad, the Zhejiang Navy Division and this domain will fight a decisive battle in Zhoushan, how can Commander Yan confirm that the Qing army will not escape into the Yongjiang River after defeat? Even if this domain can close the Yongjiang River for a long time and block the Zhejiang sailors from going to sea, will we ignore the Fujian Sea? ”

Minhai is the foundation of Zheng Jun, so naturally he can't ignore it, but Yan Daoji is still unconvinced: "Going south to Qiongzhou is not the same as not guaranteeing the safety of Minhai." ”

"It's very different." Ma Ying is obviously in her chest. "The Guangdong Sailor has just been broken in Jieshi, and it won't be rebuilt for a while and a half, so it doesn't take much strength to control the Lei Qiong Sea Road."

"Makes sense." Zheng Kezhang nodded, as long as there is more than half a year, it is enough for Ming Zheng to move back tens of thousands of people and necessary resources from Qiongzhou, not to mention, it is impossible for the Guangdong naval division of the Qing army to have combat power within half a year. "Then settle down." Zheng Kezhang swept through everyone, even if some were originally opposed, they listened one by one at this moment. "There are many typhoons in June and July, in order to avoid the wind period, this domain will send troops at the end of the month, as for Zhoushan?" Zheng Kezang groaned slightly. "After the prison country is selected, let people visit Zhoushan with the edict of the prison country"
