After August, Fang Xipeng's department, which had obtained new ships, became more and more active, repeatedly robbing ships transporting goods from Suzhou Province to Ryukyu, forcing the maritime merchants to convert their landed trade into offshore trade. (The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info)

In view of the fact that a large number of goods could only be sold at low FOB prices, Suzhou and Jiangning Weaving had to exert pressure on Suzhou Province and Liangjiang. Forced by the threat of Liangweaving, which could reach the heavens, the governor of Liangjiang, Yamen, gave instructions to clear the coastal pirates, but the Liangjiang side did not have a ship that could go to sea to expel the Ministry of Housing, so it could only write to Zhejiang, trying to implement this plan with the help of the power of the Zhejiang sailors, for which the province agreed to privately pay 300,000 taels to Zhejiang Province.

In the spirit of the fact that more is better than less, the civil and military forces of Zhejiang Province did not want to agree to this matter, but Hangzhou Weaving, which reached an entrepot trade in Songjiang, strongly supported it, and claimed that the matter was mostly related to Ming Zheng. Zhejiang Province, which was shocked by the inquiry, did not dare to slack off, and promised to send sailors to clean up the crackdown.

"Damn dog traitor." On the Haichangxing, Fang Yunchun angrily urinated on several Qing army bird boats that were tracked down, which was tracked up outside the Zhehai Sea (note: Qiantang River Estuary), although the 1,500 fortune boats under his feet were larger and had more people on a single boat, but once they fell into the encirclement of the opponent, I am afraid that it would be more auspicious. "Don't take them around in circles, go, go to Huang Zeyang."

"Lord Garrison, this has passed the Wild Yellow Pan Island and the Paste Cake Mountain Island, it seems that these pirates are preparing to lure us to the depths of the ocean." Seeing the Hai Changxing head sailing east without looking back, the old sailor in charge of the ship asked with some concern. "Are we going to chase it any more?"

"Chase, why don't you chase, Lord Admiral opened a reward of five hundred taels to find the lair of this dry pirate, and now that he has bitten it, how can he let them get out of the hook." Money, the garrison doesn't care, but there is also a promise of official promotion to a product that makes him want to move after being stuck in the fifth product for many years. "Besides, there is no shortage of water on the ship, and the officer wants to see who can't hold on first."

"But there are many islands further east," the old sailor hesitated. "When it gets dark, the pirates can go to any island, and we'll be blind." That's right, on the vast sea, everyone is an inconspicuous little spot, who knows if the other party will take advantage of the night to dump themselves. "Even if the pirates don't go to the island and sail at night, we won't be able to bite each other."

"It's a hard thing to do." The garrison pondered, yes, this is the reason, so he hesitated a little, but the cooked duck flew, which made him very unwilling, so he decided to fight again. "Keep chasing, it's still more than two hours until dark, our ship is fast, maybe we will be able to catch up by then."

The garrison is actually not right, the bird boat is not necessarily faster than the Fu ship, but this time the Haichangxing ship is larger and more people than the Qing army's three eight hundred bird boats are light, but the gap brought by this is actually very limited, so the distance between each other is only very slow.

Seeing that Hai Changxing seemed to be within the range of his own shelling, the Qing warship at the head couldn't hold back and lit the bow cannon. Due to the small size of the ship, the bow of the Qing army was only equipped with a thousand-pound breech Franc machine copper cannon, but such a copper cannon actually had an extremely limited range, and could not pose much danger to the opponent except for creating a water column on the sea.

There are also guns on the Haichangxing, and there are one in the bow and one in the stern, but as Fang Xipeng's old department, there are very few people who can really operate the guns, and the amount of ammunition is limited, so Fang Yunchun is not prepared to fight back. In this way, it seemed that the Haichangxing was shuttling through the artillery bombardment of the Qing army, and the two bird boats behind it suddenly opened fire desperately regardless of the actual range.

"A bunch of losers." Looking at the water column thrown behind the ship, Fang Yunchun commented disdainfully, but the material strength of the Qing army was beyond the strength of the Ministry of Housing and even the entire Ming Zheng, so Fang Yunchun actually belittled it openly but secretly did not lack envy, at this time Dabai Mountain was already far away. "Let's go, let's go to Da and Xiao Yangshan"

Zheng Kezang's plot against Jeju made it difficult for Ming and Zheng to communicate with the North Korean side, and of course, the two sides did not agree on their demands, which was the fundamental willingness of the two sides to negotiate for a long time. However, the Qing court humiliated and oppressed North Korea, and North Korea, which felt that it wanted to cheer up, finally made some concessions.

"The North Korean side is willing to lease land within a 10-mile radius near Seogwipo at the southern tip of Jeju to the main domain." Lin Weirong stood solemnly in front of Zheng Kezang's case, bowing slightly. "The feudal clan paid Joseon an annual rent of 10 guns and 1,500 catties of gunpowder."

"It's cheap, but it's not so easy for North Koreans to get it back after the deal." Zheng Kezhang sighed, and then asked Lin Weirong. "When will Jeju Commercial Center be relocated to Seogwipo?"

"Just wait for the lord to marry the daughter of the Joseon clan before signing the lease."

"It looks like Lone's body is selling well." Zheng Kezhang smiled self-deprecatingly. "Then let's arrange a marriage as much as possible."

Lin Weirong retreated, Zheng Kezang's eyes wandered, he thought for a long time, and ordered Lin Sheng, who had just returned to Dongning, to be summoned: "Lin Qing, can the sailors send enough troops and ships to Jeju?" ”

Lin Sheng thought for a moment and shook his head: "I'm afraid the Lord won't be able to draw his strength for the time being." ”

Lin Sheng explained: "Now the two teams of Xigang and Taijiang are each patrolling in Jinlan, except for one detachment each, the rest of the main forces are stationed in the Minhai Sea to monitor the Fujian Naval Division, the Penghu team is changing the splint ship, the training is very urgent, and there is no strength to go north, as for the Lukang team, it is responsible for the escort of the fleet between Qiongtai and Taiwan, only the Keelung team has the strength to divide one or two boats to go north, but if it is only one or two boats, it is better not to send them, so as not to startle the North Koreans." ”

"Qing's opinion has some truth, and it seems that we can only wait for the Qiongzhou incident to be resolved before making an assertion." Zheng Kezhang thought about it for a while and agreed with Lin Sheng's judgment, but then he asked again. "There are rumors in Penghu's Taixi Zhuyi that Qing Lu and Fu Lang Jiren have reached an agreement to borrow teachers, Qing thinks that with the Lukang team alone, can they stop the alliance between Qing Lu and Fu Lang Jiyi after the year?"

"I'm afraid it's a little difficult." Lin Sheng's face changed sharply. "Lord, the minister thinks that if the Franco Jiyi and the Qing Lu really join forces, the clan should withdraw the troops and fleets in Qiongzhou earlier."

At present, more than 100 transport ships and about 20 escort ships pass between Qiongtai, carrying nearly 3,000 households and 14,000 people at a time, and this precious transport capacity and the two divisions and one regiment and the 4,500 people of the newly attached army that are still in Qiongzhou are extremely valuable assets of the Zheng army, and they are absolutely not allowed to be lost.

Looking at Zheng Kezang's suspicious face, Lin Sheng explained: "The minister is not afraid that the Franc machine man will escort the Qing warship on the Qionghai Sea and the domain for a long time, but the minister is afraid that the Franc machine man will enter the Qizhou Ocean to intercept the transport fleet of the domain after the escort is completed." ”

The so-called gong does not need a heavy hammer, Lin Sheng said this, Zheng Kezang also had a solemn expression on his face, but Zheng Kezhang was obviously more confident than Lin Sheng: "Lin Qing thought about it very much, but Lone thought that Franc Jiyi would not work so hard for the Qing captives, after all, escorting is one thing, and taking the initiative to attack the ships of this domain is another." ”

Zheng Kezhang paused: "Taking the initiative to attack the ships of this domain is a situation of not dying, and the Franc Jiyi is the weakest of the Taixi tribes, and I think that they may not dare to take the risk and completely turn their faces with this domain." ”

Speaking of which, in fact, Zheng Kezhang is still reluctant to Qiongzhou's huge population, you must know that as long as it is delayed until the end of the year, 200,000 Qiongzhou people will enter Dongning, if it is delayed until the beginning of the wind season in June next year, then there will be another 100,000 people who can be realized, these numbers are a great supplement to Dongning, which has a very low population base, so he must hold on.

"The Lone Society will find a way to send someone to warn the Franc Jiyi." A more effective way is to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, but now that the sea route is blocked, the three provinces are forbidden to the sea, and the connection between Dongning and Xinhanliu has been interrupted again, Zheng Kezhang has no way to instruct Chen Shenwu to sabotage it secretly. "Lin Qing, let's do it, the Military Academy will make a strategy, and after the year, the main forces of the Xigang and Taijiang teams will be transferred to Qiongzhou, and Minhai will be temporarily handed over to the two teams of Lukang and Keelung, and bet that the enemy of Fujian Province will not act at the same time as Guangdong Province."

"This?" Lin Sheng was stunned. "Lord, this is more risky." Lin Sheng almost didn't call out, and the so-called demolition of the east wall to make up the west wall did not do this. "It's better to let the two detachments of Jinlan temporarily transfer to Qiongzhou for emergency."

"Do you want to use two detachments on the Cam Ranh side to escort the convoy?" Zheng Kezang raised his eyebrows. "This is feasible, so the Lukang team may be able to meet the enemy in Qionghai with all their might." But the result of using a lucky ship to fight Galen would be very tragic, and Zheng Kezhang did not want his precious sailors to be wasted under the guns of the Portuguese. "Or it is also possible to use the Jinlan side to meet the enemy in Qionghai." Speaking of this, Zheng Kezhang suddenly had a new idea. "Lin Qing, I think that the two teams of Taijiang and Xigang may be combined to form a fast fleet, and the fleet will have a commander, a member of the general staff, and a member of the chief army, and a number of commanders and sub-commanders under it, so that Jinlan can also become the Jinlan fleet, and in the future, the two teams of Lukang and Penghu can also be called the main fleet after being equipped with larger ship types, and the two teams of Seogwipo and Zhoushan can also be included in the Northern Fleet."

Lin Sheng was very vigilant, and immediately said: "Lord, this matter should be discussed with the military secretary, and the ministers and the military council should not be in charge of the law." ”

Zheng Kezhang disagreed: "Qing can also give some advice." ”

"This?" Lin Sheng groaned slightly, and then asked. "Lord, what is the rank of Admiral of this fleet?"

"Now the leader of each team is the fifth grade." This rank was actually deliberately pressed down by Zheng Kezang, after all, Ma Ying and the others were too shallow and should not be promoted too quickly. "I thought that the position of admiral might be set at the third grade, but now there are not many people with this qualification, and they can take charge of it from the fourth rank or above."

As soon as Lin Sheng heard it, he knew that this was tailor-made by Zheng Kezhang for his Boy Scouts, so he would not raise any objections: "It is okay for the minister to think that the Lord is superior. ”

"Lin Qing, you are a muddy, although they are proficient in the tactics of plywood ships, but when it comes to commanding the army, they still need you old ministers to take the helm."
