Of course, in the future, the equipment of ships will mainly use the three-thousand-pound model. Wait until the Ming army naval division has a larger and stronger battleship, and then 5,000 pounds of heavy artillery.

At that time, Portugal had been defeated by the Netherlands and Spain, and could not compete at sea, and its dependence on the Ming State was very high, and it also tried its best to meet the requirements of the Ming State, and it was already very preferential in the cost of artillery.

At least this year or next year, Zhu Youxiao estimated that even if the imitation is successful, the cost of the artillery will be more expensive than that of direct purchase.

Only when mass production is achieved can the cost of artillery be reduced. Only by thoroughly mastering the technology of artillery casting can technological innovation be possible, and the blue is better than the blue.

For this reason, at the beginning of the establishment of the Weapons and Gunpowder Bureau, Zhu Youxiao set up a reward mechanism and took out internal funds to encourage craftsmen to innovate and create.

The bounty ranged from twenty taels to two hundred taels, which at the time was a huge sum of money that was enough to drive the common people crazy.

But in Zhu Youxiao's view, silver is nothing, even a very small technological innovation and progress, will create a hundredfold and thousandfold value in the subsequent production process.

Therefore, this was a reward that surprised Xu Guangqi and the others, and Zhu Youxiao thought that it was definitely worth it.

After making the final decision, the young emperor ignored the officials' whispers about the accident and summoned Shen Yourong back to the palace with him.

………………

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Taiwan was called "Daoyi"; The Qin Dynasty called it "Yingzhou"; During the Three Kingdoms period, it was called "Yizhou"; From the Sui Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, it was called "Liuqiu".

After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there were many names for Taiwan, such as "chicken cage", "Beigang", "Dayuan", "Taiwan", "Taiwowan", and the official name was "Dongfan".

As early as the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan once sent people to recover Taiwan, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty also sent people to Taiwan, and the Southern Song Dynasty had controlled Taiwan in the palm of his hand, indicating that Taiwan has been China's territory since ancient times.

Shen Yourong went deep into the island three times before and after, killed and expelled the Japanese invaders, and rescued hundreds of fishermen, which was an important military action of the Ming Dynasty to show its domineering and sovereignty, which can be recorded in history.

To Zhu Youxiao's regret, the government did not garrison troops in the "Dongfan", which can be said to have left a future trouble.

It's never too late to make amends.

The Dutch ghost occupied Penghu for the first time and was repelled by Shen Yourong, but it will soon make a comeback; And Yan Siqi, the "king of the opening stage" in history, is still leading a group of younger brothers in Japan to do a good job.

The so-called one step first, eat all over the world.

Zhu Youxiao had already tasted the sweetness of foresight in the Battle of Guangning, and how could he not continue to expand his advantages, and crossed thousands of mountains and rivers until Fujian.

The governor of Fujian, Nan Juyi, was replaced by the former governor Zhou Zuo, who could not calm the sea atmosphere. At that time, not long after taking office, the military department and the envoy of the military department rushed to the office.

The military department set up a special guerrilla member, and immediately sent 3,000 troops to be stationed in Penghu to build a city and forts, thinking that it had been consolidated for a long time;

The level of the Penghu garrison was upgraded from "South Road Moderation" to "Deputy Chief Soldier Yamen and Assistant Guard", which improved the military decision-making power of the Penghu garrison;

increase the salary of soldiers, not allowed to withdraw during the flood season, and garrison Penghu all year round;

The military department set up a special member of the Dongfan guerrillas, and within a month, led 500 troops to garrison Beigang; Within three months, it had risen to 1,000;

and set up a government in Beigang, increase one person from Zhizhou, and accompany the same magistrate, judge, and official;

In Dongfan, it is necessary to avoid conflict with the indigenous people, to live in peace and coexistence;

Investigate and determine the safest route to ensure that the route from Zhang, Quan, Jin, Xiamen to Dongfan is unimpeded in the future;

sent sea ships to Zhaoqing, transported ten Hongyi cannons, and strengthened the defense of coastal areas;

Nan Juyi was a little confused, what's the matter, the Ministry of War is so urgent, and it also stipulates a time limit, what is going to happen?

As soon as he finished receiving the text of the military department, Nan Juyi knelt down to receive the secret decree again. After reading it, Nan Juyi almost understood that this was the meaning of the saint, and the military department was so urgent.

In the secret decree, Zhu Youxiao emphasized the importance of Penghu and Dongfan, and reminded Nan Juyi that Hongmaoyi's withdrawal from Penghu may not be a good stop, and he may also gather ships and soldiers to attack.

Similarly, Zhu Youxiao also strictly ordered Nan Juyi to pay close attention to various arrangements, and the sooner the better. The Penghu and Dongfan garrisons should be elite and equipped with firearms.

"Dongfan is a desert island on the sea, the southeast is controlled, the land is fertile and sparsely populated, and now we should take its land first, and continue to move people to open up the wasteland and reclaim the ......"

Zhu Youxiao also gave Nan Juyi the right to recruit people to go to Taiwan in his secret decree, that is to say, Nan Juyi can flexibly formulate some preferential and incentive policies.

What surprised Nan Juyi even more was that the young emperor pulled out 200,000 yuan as the cost of various arrangements, which shows that he was anxious.

The sooner the better, there will be a brave man under the heavy reward, Nan Juyi from the initial difficulty, and then settle down.

If you have money, you can do things, and if you have money, you will not have a problem sending people to garrison them.

After the envoy finished announcing the decree, he did not go down immediately to rest, but sat down and said to Nan Juyi: "The miscellaneous family is ordered to do errands, and Nan Daren must also be loyal to state affairs, and hurry up and explain everything to the emperor!" ”

Nan Juyi hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Envoy Qin, rest assured, this official will convene a meeting and arrange the work, which will definitely satisfy the saint." Please also ask the envoy to return to Beijing to ...... to the saints."

Qin waved his hand with force, interrupted Nan Juyi, and said in a sharp voice, "This can't be done. The emperor sent the miscellaneous family and these two brocade brothers to come, one is to send a decree to escort the silver, and the other is to wait in Fujian. After everything is done, I dare to return to Beijing to resume my life. ”

After a pause, the envoy emphasized again: "If Lord Nan can't complete the work, or if the deadline is exceeded, the emperor said, let the miscellaneous family and others jump into the sea directly, and there is no need to go back." ”

Nan Juyi blinked, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Please, Nan-sama." The envoy got up and gave Nan Juyi a salute, and said with a bitter face: "You are more tired, hurry up, finish it early, don't let us jump into the sea to feed Wang Bacheng?" ”

"The envoy is serious." Nan Juyi hurriedly returned the salute, almost patted his chest, and promised in a loud voice: "This official will go and arrange it, it will definitely be completed in advance, and it will never make it difficult for the envoy." ”

The Qin envoy felt a little relieved, but he was not fully relieved, stared at Nan Juyi and asked, "How to explain it in the emperor's secret decree, the miscellaneous family doesn't know." Nanda, you won't lie to us, will you? In case he stupidly returns to Beijing to restore his life, the emperor clicks and clicks......"

"No, no, absolutely not. Father-in-law, please relax. Nan Juyi felt that it did not match his identity, and he didn't swear by swearing, so he had to make up a nonsense to send away this death-fearing envoy, "This official believes in Buddhism and never speaks, that is to go to hell with tongue pulling." ”

Oh, the envoy blinked his eyes and hesitated to go down to rest.

Nan Juyi sent away the envoy and the accompanying Jinyi guard, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.

Poor thing, I don't know how strict the saint is, and this father-in-law is a little stunned.
