It took five days to formulate a detailed battle plan, which was difficult and not difficult for Takahashi Minami.

The difficulty is that he did not have the experience of independently commanding units above the company level to carry out combat missions before this, and this will limit his overall view when formulating combat plans in a certain way. Moreover, in the past, when he carried out tasks, he did not need to think about the marching formation, logistics and supply, as long as he completed the battle plan formulated by his boss step by step. But now, as the commander of the overall situation, he has to take all these things into account when formulating the battle plan, and his implementation experience in this area can be regarded as a shortcoming.

It's not difficult to say because he has been following Qian Tiandun since he joined the army, and he has fought a lot of large and small battles in the past few years. What's more, Qian Tiandun did not hide anything from him, and also taught him a lot of practical tactics that he might not be able to learn even if he studied in a military academy. Compared with the officers of the same level in other units of the militia group, Takahashi Nan has accumulated less experience in actual combat, and if he hadn't been bent on following Qian Tiandun, he would have been assigned to other units to take charge of himself.

Takahashi Minami knew very well that Qian Tiandun assigned this task to himself, which was both a trust and a test. Only by passing this level will he be able to gain room to continue to rise in the future. He took the information provided by Qian Tiandun, immediately returned to the battalion headquarters, and gathered a few capable men to start studying the map. Five days is not a short time, but he is not willing to waste a minute.

Of course, Qian Tiandun will not really pin all his hopes on Gao Qiao Nan, although he does have a lot of trust in Gao Qiao Nan, but this matter is related to the expansion process of Haihan on the island of Taiwan in the coming period, Qian Tiandun is still half diǎn and does not dare to be careless, so he immediately sent a telegram to inform the base camp of the latest development, and reported his thoughts together. Although he also knew that the Executive Committee might not approve the action against the Spaniards in the near future, this filing work must be done first. Moreover, the geographical information in his hand was not detailed enough, and he had to rely on the base camp to provide more detailed military maps as a reference.

At the same time, the construction of Kaohsiung Port in Tainan is also in full swing. Although Haihan adopted an "unfair" attitude towards Fujian at the beginning of the development and deliberately allowed Guangdong businessmen to gain a first-mover advantage, the Fujian business community, which occupied a favorable geographical position, said, .↙.↙os_ (); A large number of laborers were soon sent to the local area, intending to trade the numerical advantage for the time disadvantage.

I have to say that the effect of this trick is very good, similar to port infrastructure, which requires a lot of labor, and whoever has more people can complete it faster. Guangdong businessmen, who are unable to quickly replenish manpower, can only watch their Fujian counterparts catch up with the progress of the project every day at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This situation is not only seen on dock sites, but also in the development of plantation projects that also require a lot of labor, and Guangdong businessmen are also facing a similar situation. In order to attract more people to Taiwan Island for reclamation, it is said that the price of recruiting immigrants in Guangzhou has risen by at least 30%. Since 1633, the number of new recruits to the Panyu immigration base has plummeted, and the population with immigrant tendencies have accepted employment to Taiwan as their first choice for survival, an effect that was not expected by the people who formulated the development plan for the port of Kaohsiung.

The Executive Committee was not dissatisfied with this, and since the merchants were willing to spend this money to organize the hiring of laborers, Haihan had no reason to obstruct it. Anyway, after these people settle down in Kaohsiung, they will choose to join naturalization sooner or later in the future, compared to the immigrants recruited by Haihan themselves, it is only a matter of sooner or later when they become naturalized.

However, the number of immigrants received by the Penghu base has not fallen but increased, because the situation here is completely different from Guangdong, and most of the immigrants accepted are not from Fujian, but from the war-torn areas in the north of the Ming Dynasty. Due to the relatively generous returns given by the Haihan, the Fujian maritime merchants who used to run the northern route changed their banners and joined the ranks of running errands, transporting the war refugees from the north to Penghu in exchange for all kinds of sought-after goods produced by the Haihan, and transporting them back to the Jianghuai area for silver, and then using the silver to recruit more refugees.

This operation method is very simple, and the profit is also quite rich, if a 400-material sea ship can run a round trip between Penghu and Huai'an every month, it can make a net profit of more than 1,000 taels. Only a small part of the profits came from the refugees themselves, and the bulk of the Haihan goods exchanged for immigrants were transported to Jianghuai and sold to salt merchants who were not bad for money, and the profits were much higher than the other local products they used to sell.

After someone tasted the sweetness, more and more maritime merchants began to join the ranks. In the last month of 1632 alone, seven companies with a total of twenty-six ships joined the business, and the number of transporting emigrants had increased by three hundred percent compared to the previous month. Compared with the situation encountered in Guangdong, Penghu's achievements can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds.

Of course, this difference does not mean that Penghu's immigration work is really better than that of Guangdong, and the reason is mainly due to the influence of the general environment. If it weren't for the outbreak of war in the north that produced a large number of refugees, and many maritime merchants in Fujian were attracted by the huge profits of this business, then the speed of Penghu's introduction of immigrants from the Ming Dynasty might not be faster than Guangdong's.

In addition to the Ming line, human trade between the Dutch and the Haihan also came into effect. According to the agreement at that time, the Dutch were to bring back 800 immigrants from Ryukyu, Japan, and Korea in Northeast Asia every month and hand them over to the Haihan. Although this service is not free, because the Dutch are in a passive position in this transaction, the transaction price is very pressed by Haihan, and there is almost no oil and water to speak of, it is completely a compromise in order to keep Dayuangang alive.

Together, these two main immigration channels can bring nearly 3,000 new immigrants to Penghu every month, and the capacity and volume continue to increase. Although this figure seems good, the Executive Committee still somewhat regrets the current limited seafaring capacity and is unable to organize transportation from the north on its own. When Haihan rushed to transport war refugees from Annam, the population base of the Ming Dynasty far exceeded that of Annam, and if he could organize his own fleet to go north to rush the population at this time, the efficiency would certainly be much higher than that of people outside.

Due to the construction needs of Kaohsiung Port, about half of these migrants will be transferred to Kaohsiung for resettlement after completing the quarantine observation period, the remaining small part will stay in Penghu for local resettlement, and the rest will be transported back to Hainan Island for distribution. Of course, among them, those who signed up to join the army in Penghu, as well as a small number of people who were selected and intercepted from the official slaves smuggled from Northeast Asian countries, will not be separately reported to the Executive Committee for approval, and the decision will be made directly by the Penghu side.

On January 15, 1633, the sixth day of the sixth month of the sixth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.

Gao Qiao Nanzhan completed his battle plan report with great trepidation, and in front of Qian Tiandun and Chen Yixin, who temporarily rushed back from Kaohsiung, conducted a tactical deduction of the battle plan he had formulated. Although the two bosses picked out a lot of imperfections in the process, they were finally recognized.

"The plan made by the base camp is similar to yours, and it is more secure than yours. However, there is a group of people from the staff department in the base camp who have come up with ideas, and you are on your own, and it is quite good to be able to do this. Qian Tiandun praised Takahashi Nan without hesitation.

Takahashi Minami wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and didn't dare to do it. He felt that even when he faced an enemy many times his size on the battlefield, he was not as nervous as he was when he was evaluated by his superiors.

"In the final battle plan, I plan to combine the two plans and learn from each other's strengths. Although the plans made by the base camp seem perfect, they are planned on paper after all, and some details cannot be taken into account as you do. After all, they are only operational staff officers, and you are the commander on the front line. Qian Tiandun suddenly raised his voice when he said this: "As a commander, what kind of su zhì must you have?"

"You have to be confident!" Takahashi Minami stiffened his back and replied loudly. Qian Tiandun's break made Takahashi Nan wake up, if he looked like he was not confident, how could he let his boss rest assured that he would hand over the heavy responsibility of commanding the operation to himself?

Qian Tiandun said slowly: "No matter in terms of intelligence gathering, troop strength, equipment level, combat experience, logistics supply, and overall command, we are far stronger than our opponents. It's harder to lose this kind of battle than to win, and you have to be more confident in yourself. If you really feel like you can't do it, say it early. ”

"Swear to complete the task with humility!" Although Takahashi Minami has changed the habit of kneeling, the action of bowing deeply has been retained, and his head is about to hit the ground in excitement.

Chen Yixin said with a smile: "You have also been in the army for so many years, and you have become a battalion commander, can you salute well?"

Takahashi Minami noticed his gaffe, and quickly straightened up again and saluted the two of them.

"Yes, yes, I know that thou art faithful. Qian Tiandun also couldn't help laughing, this subordinate is good anywhere, but this kind of retainer mentality can't be changed. But fortunately, no one in Haihan talked about this, and the military turned a blind eye to it.

"This morning Philip from Holland brought three ships of immigrants to Magong Port, and according to the registration information he provided, more than 400 of them were from Japan, including many young women. After finishing business, Qian Tiandun changed his words and mentioned completely irrelevant immigration matters.

Although Takahashi Minami didn't know why, he still pricked up his ears and listened carefully. Qian Tiandun looked at him and said: "You are not too young, a few years ago, I said that I didn't have a family, so you didn't dare to take the lead, now that I have a place, it's time for you to think about personal problems." ”

"Huh?" Gao Qiao Nan couldn't have imagined that Qian Tiandun's purpose in mentioning this matter was actually to solve his personal problems, and he was stunned for a while and didn't know how to answer.

Qian Tiandun continued: "Although you are now a Haihan citizen, after all, your hometown is Japan, and you must have missed the customs of your hometown for so many years. Now that there are channels to bring in immigrants from Japan, it is better for you to see if there is a suitable person for your eyes, and pick out one or two to stay with you and take care of your daily life. ”

"But the lowly post is now living in the barracks, and it is inconvenient......," Gao Qiao Nan wanted to excuse himself.

"You don't have to worry about that. Qian Tiandun waved his hand and interrupted him: "The dormitory for officers above the company level is already under repair, and it will be delivered next month at the earliest." You are now the commander of the special operations battalion, and you must divide this officer's room into a set, although it is a small courtyard with a single entrance, but it is much more spacious than the welfare room in Sanya, and it must be no problem to settle the family. ”

"Yes, if the special operations battalion is transferred to another place......

"You really think long-term enough!" Qian Tiandun cried and laughed: "If you are transferred to other places, the families of senior officers can also be transferred, you are worried about a fart! Even if you can't be transferred on the surface, I will arrange it for you." ”

"Then I'm ......"

"That's what, don't be a man, let me tell you, wait a minute, you will go to the port center of the wharf to see if there is a suitable one among the people sent here, and if you choose, you will directly say hello to Li Dou and let him leave the people. I can't choose it, I'll see when the Dutch immigration ship arrives next month, anyway, they send a batch of people every month, I don't believe I can't pick out one or two suitable ones. Qian Tiandun paused and then said: "Also, I heard that many of these immigrants used to be servants in the officials' families, so you can also choose two obedient and sensible ones to cook and wash clothes for you at home." ”

With Gao Qiao Nan's current income level, Mo said that raising two servants, even if it is to raise ten or eight people, there is no problem, but he has been serving in the army in the past few years, and everything is taken care of by himself, although there are also orderly soldiers around him, but he has always regarded himself as Qian Tiandun's orderly soldier, and he serves many more people than when he is served. This situation was also slowly changed after Qian Tiandun and Luo Wudan were together, because it was not very convenient. But now that Qian Tiandun asked him to pick a few special subordinates, Takahashi Nan is indeed a little bit unsuitable.

Before Gao Qiao Nan could say a few words, Qian Tiandun had already seen his thoughts, so he took the initiative to ask: "Gao Qiao Nan, do you know why our gang of people bid farewell to their hometown and come to Daming to start from scratch? Enjoy the benefits you deserve, if you work hard for Haihan, Haihan will not treat you badly!"
