Two small sloops glide through the sea nimbly, their speed, the inclination of the turn, enough to make the first sight of the human frightened, but this scene is commonplace for the fishermen who often cast their nets on the Taijiang River, the only difference is that there was only one such sailboat at the beginning, but now there are two together

Looking at the leader of the sailor team who returned from Xingchong, Zheng Kezang, who had been observing the sea with a clairvoyant mirror, still asked very carefully: "The Foguang is easy to operate, how about the Pegasus built by the craftsmen of Yingguili." (The text was first published in the Cabinet biquge.info)"

Ma Ying, who had personally operated the ship, reported truthfully: "It is almost the same as the Pegasus built by the Inguili boatmen." ”

"Okay," Hearing such an answer, Zheng Kezang's face finally showed a hint of joy, and the haze of Zhu Jin's refusal to resolutely abandon Siming and Haicheng bridgehead in the past few days also seemed to have been dispelled a lot with the departure of the young boatwright from the boy boy camp. "Ma Yuan, Tang Tong, Wu Hu, Li Ping, well done, what kind of reward do you want, just ask!"

Although Zheng Kezhang only asked about Ma Yuan and the other four people standing in front of him, in fact, in the past four years, a total of fifteen teenagers have been selected from the children's camp to transfer to the shipyard to study, so Zheng Kezang's words are actually a promise to the entire shipbuilding team that as long as Ma Yuan and the others do not meet the requirements, I believe they can be satisfied.

Because he didn't expect Zheng Kezang's promise to be so generous, Ma Yuan, the eldest of the four, hesitated and was about to open his mouth, but Li Ping, who was next to him, rushed to respond: "The praise of the chief leader is already better than other rewards." ”

Li Ping's flattering words made Zheng Kezhang stunned unconsciously, and then his eyes wandered on the faces of the four people, and suddenly found the key to it, as the so-called party emperor thought in the party, there are no factions in the faction, although Ma Yuan and the other four are all children of the poor family, but obviously there are small factions between several people, Ma Yuan wants to be the boss, but Li Ping is obviously not convinced, as for the other two or hold or wait and see, it is obviously not much better than scattered sand, but such a result is exactly what Zheng Kezhang is happy to see, he definitely does not want to appear in any aspect of the so-called" The second person".

"That's a good thing, Yu loves to listen to it, but Li Ping, next time you won't be allowed to slap the horse again." Zheng Kezhang said this deliberately, and sure enough, he saw a few thoughtful glances. "Yu will be rewarded for merit here, punished if he has done it, and use a few good words to send things like that, Yu still can't do it." Speaking of this, Zheng Kezhang groaned for a moment. "Ma Yuan, Tang Tong, Wu Hu, and Li Ping were promoted to the general banner of the eighth grade, and the rest were awarded the small flag of the ninth grade."

Before waiting for the ecstatic few people to thank themselves, Zheng Kezhang continued: "Yu will arrange for the Ministry of Industry to award you a Buddha Light Launching Medal as a commemoration, this medal can also be used as your qualifications, amazing, amazing, the first Yi boat built by the boy camp itself came from the hands of you, what a glory, it will be recorded in history in the future, and it will be passed on to future generations." ”

"Commander-in-chief, this, can this really go down in history?" Tang Tong asked in disbelief. "It's just a small boat."

"What a boat, this is history." Zheng Kezang sù sù sù ù ù "Maybe it can't be in history, but the boy camp must have its own camp history, wait a little bit, who has made any contributions, the camp history must be stated one by one, as long as the Ming Dynasty does not die, the boy camp does not die, and your achievements must be passed on from generation to generation."

The four of them were dumbfounded, even Ma Ying on the side was dumbfounded, obviously Zheng Kezhang drew a big cake for them that they couldn't refuse, just when they were dazzled, Zheng Kezhang changed his words: "As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and the creation of the Buddha Light is just the beginning, and then imitate the brig, the brig, the trial production of the three-masted sailing ship and even the sail battleship that the Yiren shipwright can't build, and I still hope that you can make new contributions!" ”

Ma Yuan and the others were enthusiastically assured, Zheng Kezang listened with a smile, and while listening, he was thinking about whether to group several people now so that they could compete with each other, but considering that they had just practiced with a most basic boat, and their skills had not reached the perfect level, so he forcibly suppressed the idea of differentiation.

"Yu doesn't want to listen to empty words, Yu only hopes that you can do what you say." Zheng Kezhang said majestically, but he was thinking about whether to fire those Yingguili craftsmen right now. "Alright, let's go down first." Zheng Kezhang waved his hand, and the four of them took the order to leave, so Zheng Kezhang asked Ma Ying, who was standing on the side. "Ma Baihu, how many people are there in the sailors now?"

"The sailors now have two hundred and twenty men, including 100 veterans and conscripted fishermen from the navy, and 120 boy scouts." Ma Ying reported the number of treasures, and the scale of 220 people was even larger than the battalion-level unit set by Zheng Kezang. "The ships include the Guangzhou Ship Dongshenghai, the Fuchuan Nan'anhai, the sand ship Dongsha Jia, the Dongsha B, the sloop schooner Pegasus, the brig schooner Knight, the brig Flying Eagle and the Flying Dragon, by the way, another Foguang has just been added."

"Two hundred and twenty people, nine boats, the scale is not small." Zheng Kezhang weighed it. "The sailors are to be expanded into battalions." Ma Ying's face was happy, but before he could dream of being promoted to the rank of knight, Zheng Kezang's words punctured his hopes. "Yu will transfer the battalion officer and deputy battalion officer from the sailor division." Zheng Kezhang seemed to see Ma Ying's disappointment and comforted him with a smile. "Why are you a little lost? How old are you, you are already a hundred households in the seventh grade, and if you rise again, you will pull out the seedlings and help them grow. ”

Zheng Kezhang hopes that Ma Ying can turn this corner by himself, but if Ma Ying can't come to his senses for a long time, Zheng Kezhang will not be reluctant to give up on him - there are talents in the fourth boy camp and the third phase of the regular army to replace him, not to mention that Ma Ying's status in the sailors has stood out from the crowd, which is also unbearable for Zheng Kezang.

"After the camp was reorganized, the Dongshenghai, Pegasus, and Foguang were the Taijiang teams, specializing in training new young sailors, mainly sailing ships in the inland sea of the Taijiang River; The Qionghai team was formed with three ships, Nan Anhai, Dongsha Jia, and Dongsha B, and the veterans led Xinding; With the knight, the eagle and the hero Mifune as the whale hunting team, they walk the ocean. Zheng Kezhang swept away the dejected Ma Ying. Gong Tian has done a good job in the past few years, he can be promoted to the leader of the Taijiang team, and then a veteran will be promoted to the leader of the Qionghai team, and you will continue to be the leader of the whale hunting team. ”

"The subordinates thought that Captain Karl's experience was in the ocean, so he asked the commander to put him in the whale hunting team." Ma Ying hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth. "The subordinates are inexperienced, if there is no help from these sailors, the destruction of the whale hunting team is small, and the subordinates can't afford to miss the commander's big event."

Zheng Kezhang looked at Ma Ying coldly, as if he was analyzing whether his words were complaints or sincerity, and after a long time, Zheng Kezhang nodded slowly: "Okay, it depends on your meaning, but Carl is a guest, and the training can let them take care of it, and the rest must be in your hands." ”

"No!"

"Also, even though it's a whale hunting team, you can actually try to be pirates a few times."

"Pirates?" Ma Ying was taken aback again. "Isn't this hurtful?"

"Tenwa?" Zheng Kezang bared his teeth. "You can ask Carl what is the difference between a maritime merchant and a pirate."

Zheng Kezhang was not the only one who was frustrated by Zhu Jin's refusal to give up Haicheng and Siming, Yao Qisheng, the governor of Fujian in the Qing court, was also one.

"In the past, Ling Xianwang shook Tianwei, and he couldn't bear the grievances of his father and elders, so he stayed in Taiwan; Today, your clan can understand the ancestors, read the devastation in the well, turn over and disarm the soldiers, the sky and people are smooth, and the world is glorious! Months of vain soldiers, ruining the lives of the people, what good is it for your vain? That is, those who come from the lower reaches of your domain, I am afraid that the hearts of the people in the past and present are different, and the events are unpredictable; I don't think about it! I have learned that your clan has the idea of compassion for Sangzi, so he repaired the chapter, but hoped to rest his heart and send an envoy to come"

However, Yao Qisheng, who is clever and eloquent, is a traitor lackey who is desperate to take refuge in the Manchurians, and the reason why he appeases Ming Zheng is still the same as Jieshu and Lahada, just to get Haicheng back in order to explain to Kangxi.

So Zhu Jin then thought of "inheriting the Ming religion and thinking about the people; I can't bear to sit idly by with the misery of the living beings, so I repair the spear and armor and circulate it, and hundreds of millions of living beings are forgiven. The heart of heaven is disgusted, and the luck of killing will return; Gou can rest, dare not die! The courtesy should be sent to teach, but the cable has not been solved, and the generals have waved. each other's differences, not as expected".

After Zhang Xiong was sent back, he sent Huang Zhimei, a squire from Quanzhou, to Xiamen to discuss peace matters again, but because he continued to adhere to the principle of "the sea will be clear, and the sea can be cleared", the negotiations between the two sides finally broke down again.

In December of that year, Yao Qisheng, who had failed to achieve his goal on the battlefield and at the negotiation table, appealed to the Qing court on the grounds that Ming and Zheng had no intention of negotiating peace talks, and re-enforced the boundary sealing order. The coastal residents who originally returned to their hometowns after Geng Jingzhong's rebellion against the Qing Dynasty once again left their hometowns, "from Fuzhou and Funing, down to Zhao'an, building villages along the coast and placing troops to defend them; The boundary wall is still built to intercept the inside and outside, and there is no human population for thousands of miles along the coast. ”

However, Yao Qisheng did not expect that although the Ming and Zheng sides could not get replenishment from the coastal areas of Fujian for a while, the Zheng troops on the Nanao Island and Qiongzhou sides, Siming and Haicheng sides still received a steady stream of material and manpower supplies, and even more people flowed into Taiwan through these two windows.

Seeing that he could not completely strangle the Zheng army, Yao Qisheng could not wait to write to the Qing court, requesting that the scope of enforcement of the boundary order be extended to Guangdong, and that Lei Qiong be recaptured with large soldiers to prevent the Zheng clan from supporting. But at this moment, the main force of the Qing army is still used to exterminate Wu Sangui's grandson, Wu Zhouzhou Emperor Wu Shifan, and Shang Zhixin's strength in Guangdong is limited, and it is not enough to defeat the two divisions of Zu Zeqing and Yang Xian, who are supporting each other, and Shang Zhixin does not approve of sealing the sea because of trade to raise military funds.
