Chapter Ninety-Seven: Turning a Nose at It

Hearing Yu Xiaotian's question, Lin Yiyang hurriedly said: "The subordinates carefully checked what Zhu Yifeng had done recently after taking office, after he took office, on the one hand, he rectified the rule of officials, and on the other hand, vigorously checked the money and grain in the treasury and the treasury of various prefectures, pursued the shortage in each treasury, inquired about some officials, and also arrested some officials.

Moreover, after having more money and grain in the treasury recently, Zhu Yifeng allocated 60,000 taels of silver from the treasury to several iron yards in the Zhangquan area, and ordered the two prefectures of Zhangquan to supervise the manufacture of Hongyi cannons, and purchased a total of 46 Hongyi cannons, and cast a large number of Francorang cannons and other artillery, and the total number is estimated to be no less than 300.

At the same time, Zhu Yifeng also revitalized the naval division, ordered the coastal provinces to allocate silver to renovate the water villages in various places, allocated a batch of artillery for them, and raised 80,000 taels of silver from the treasury and the treasury of various prefectures, and built a number of new warships in the coastal boat liao to supplement the use of the water villages in various places.

He also allocated some silver to the sailor, made up for some arrears, and recruited sailors to expand the scale of the sailor.

Recently, Zhu Yifeng has also inspected the Fubiao in the official army and the town marks in various places many times, inspected the school soldiers, trained the soldiers, and personally watched the trial firearms.

Judging from Zhu Yifeng's actions, his subordinates thought that Zhu Yifeng probably did not put us aside, but secretly accumulated strength, but it was not mature at the moment, so he would not make any statement! ”

Yu Xiaotian frowned and said, "Only dogs that don't bark bite people!" Although this Zhu Yifeng has a good evaluation of the official style, he is quite scheming, I do not deny that this person is a backbone official, and I deeply admire this.

But from our point of view, it is not a good thing for such a person to be a governor in Fujian! If it is a corrupt official, we can spend some money to dredge it, but it is useless to spend money on such a person!

If he does these things now, then you can roughly understand what he wants to do, he gathers silver and grain, overhauls war equipment, orders soldiers and horses, and builds warships, I'm afraid it won't be for the sake of face, today's civilian officials, how many people will attach so much importance to strengthening the army?

So according to what you say, this Zhu Yifeng is probably very likely to be preparing for the next step to fight us! ”

Lin Yiyang nodded worriedly and said, "I'm afraid that's exactly the case, but we don't have a countermeasure right now!" ”

Yu Xiaotian stood up angrily, walked back and forth in the house a few times, and said angrily: "These officials are really full!" Although Lao Tzu is a thief, he has not done much evil!

The government does not think about Jinghai, the sailor is slack, Lao Tzu rebuilds order for him, and he should give them filial piety, Lao Tzu gives them a penny, and also makes the place calm, and does not easily disturb the coast, and the government does not interfere with the river water, but these officials want to trouble me!

Don't they know that fighting a war costs people to die and costs money? If Lao Tzu is a heinous person, it would be fine, and they should have co-authored it, but Lao Tzu immigrated to Tuntian, opened up Taiwan, and lived countless lives, even if he killed some people, but most of them were people who should be killed!

They are really idle eggs, and they have to come to find trouble with Lao Tzu!

Zhu Qinxiang left, and Zhu Yifeng came, the one in front was a fool, but this new one was a dumb dog! If they do it this time, I'm afraid it won't be as easy to deal with as last time! ”

"Exactly! The subordinates are also worried about this matter, after Zhu Yifeng's rectification for such a period of time, the Fujian official army will definitely take effect more and increase its strength, as long as they send troops to us again this time, then I am afraid it will not be as easy to deal with as last time! So please make a plan in advance! Lin Yiyang stood up and lowered his hand and said to Xiaotian.

"In that case, then Lao Tzu will give him a preemptive strike! Let's destroy a few of his water villages first, let them know the power of Lao Tzu! Yu Xiaotian was a little annoyed in his heart, now is the critical time, he didn't want to have any big conflicts with the government, but Zhu Yifeng was so secretly vigorous and rectified the ordnance warship, although he did not indicate that he was coming to recruit his sea wolf, but it caused him a lot of pressure, the matter of whether the Spaniards would come to Taipei in front of him, he was not clear, on the one hand, he had to be prepared, but the government behind him was making small moves, and he might come to him at any time for trouble, so he wanted to knock on the government first, so that they could settle down.

"I'm afraid that's not right! Nowadays, although Zhu Yifeng is overhauling war equipment, he has not mentioned that he wants to conquer us, and now on the coast of Fujian, we are not the only one, in addition, Zheng Yiguan and Chu Cailao have been active very frequently recently.

If the big boss sent troops to attack the official army water camp at this time, wouldn't it just give the official government a truth? Lin Yiyang did not agree with Yu Xiaotian to take the initiative to provoke Zhu Yifeng now, and immediately persuaded.

Yu Xiaotian looked at Lin Yiyang unhappily and asked, "Then let's just sit back and wait, waiting for the official army to come and fight us?" ”

Lin Yiyang smiled bitterly and said, "There is no way to do this!" Originally, if we didn't move in the near future, the officials and troops would not have spoken up to attack us, and Zhu Yifeng would have some resistance if he wanted to move troops, after all, there were many officials in Fujian who had eaten us and taken us, and they did not want to see us suppressed by the officials and soldiers, so they would lose a piece of income.

Therefore, after Zhu Yifeng took office, he kept silent about sending troops to suppress us, but after a while, if he wanted to send troops, someone would dissuade him.

But if we attack the shore on a large scale now, it will just make Zhu Yifeng fall into the truth, and when the time comes, he will be famous, and it will be inconvenient for ordinary people to dissuade him!

Therefore, at the moment, we have no better way to do it, so we can only sit and wait, and take advantage of the temporary lack of affairs to train more troops, so that once the official army comes to suppress us, we can protect ourselves! ”

Yu Xiaotian sneered and said: "It's not that I look down on Zhu Yifeng, although he has been busy overhauling war equipment, building warships, and recruiting troops and horses during this time, but with the level of the official army, if he wants to destroy me Yu Xiaotian, they probably had the possibility two years ago, but now...... Hum!

If Zhu Yifeng wants to say that he is a good official, I don't want to give the Wei Party in the court a pretext to remove him, but if this Zhu Yifeng doesn't know the current affairs and has to come to me for trouble, then I don't mind letting him follow in Zhu Qinxiang's footsteps! ”

For Xiaotian's confidence, Lin Yiyang is also quite gratified, he has seen with his own eyes the power of the sea wolf troops, when Chu Cailao thousands of people came to attack Nanri Island, hundreds of soldiers in the sea wolf Dazhai area, they blocked Chu Cailao's men from attacking the city, and the sailors almost beat Chu Cailao's boat regiment to the end.

And he has seen with his own eyes the organization and discipline in the Sea Wolf Army, these things are by no means possessed by ordinary peers and the official army, the official army has been completely abolished today, over the years, whether it is Fujian or Liangguang, there are many pirates, but the government has not exterminated a few pirates at all, even if it has exterminated a few pirates, they are all some pirates who are not strong.

The pirates repeatedly attacked and harassed the land, and even invaded deep areas on the land, the officers and soldiers did not be able to show anything, often after watching the pirates go ashore and raid and plunder, the officers and soldiers would be late, and then watch the pirates sail away on the shore, and the rest is to find a few homeless people on the shore after the pirates left, chop off their heads, and use them to pretend to be killed.

Therefore, it makes sense that Yu Xiaotian despises the official army so much, not to mention that the sea wolf is too strong, just to say that the official army is really too bad nowadays, so even if Zhu Yifeng is strong and fights the sea wolf, it is estimated that it will be difficult to bargain in front of the sea wolf.

What's more, since the beginning of last year, the sea wolf has recruited a large number of troops to expand the army, the strength of the naval division and the war battalion have increased greatly, and the artillery, gun, gunpowder workshop, and shipyard that were split and moved to Tamsui and Keelung have all been put into production years ago, and the sea wolf has added a large number of weapons this year, and the strength is at least more than double that of the old war between Lu and Chu Cai last year.

And the sea wolf is not only Nanri Island now, the old camp of the sea wolf is still on Nanri Island in name, but most of the basic things have been moved to Tamsui and Keelung Fort, even if Zhu Yifeng is now gathering the power of a province and coming to suppress Nanri Island, Yu Xiaotian doesn't want to fight with them, it's a big deal to set this Nanri Island Dazhai on fire, and take people to retreat to Tamsui, the officials and soldiers still have no way to take them, after all, Taiyuan Island is not under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty.

Time is busy in the busy, often very fast, Yu Xiaotian after returning to Nanri Island, did not stop at all, with the Nanri Island Chuanliao several new Feizi Clipper launched, Tamsui Zhai Chuanliao came to the news, saying that the slipway over there adopted a slipway to get on two boats at the same time, on the 123 slipway together on six Feizi clippers.

Moreover, the freshwater shipyard has also begun to adopt the method of standardized production, and the important parts such as ribs and ship plates of the prefabricated ships are unified in advance, and they are directly used on the ship immediately after the start of shipbuilding, which greatly improves the efficiency of production, so that the speed of shipbuilding can be doubled, and the manpower can be more fully utilized.

So Yu Xiaotian ordered the Nanri Island Shipyard to temporarily stop building a new Feizi clipper, and with a group of shipyard craftsmen, he began to pull a three-masted Daifuku ship onto the slipway and began to drill into the cabin and toss.

This kind of lucky ship belongs to the large lucky boat, according to the division of the official army and the naval division, this kind of lucky ship is regarded as the No. 1 lucky boat, and it is the absolute main warship of the naval division, but such a large lucky ship is not very equipped in the naval division at present, because this kind of ship is expensive to build, and when it is used in naval operations, the action is relatively clumsy, and it is mostly used as a handsome ship.
