After the two sides made the note, the handover was quickly completed.

Zheng Zhilong was not ambiguous, he immediately drew a military area, and other places were rented to the wealthy merchants who came with him at a small rent, there were smart guys, and the big ship only carried a small amount of goods, but it was loaded with a lot of labor, since Zheng Zhilong got the lease in his hand, he immediately started to build a house, and he really didn't delay for a moment.

Those who did not bring labor also posted notices to recruit on the spot, and many locals negotiated prices and joined in.

Zheng Zhilong called Yan Yingyuan and said: "General Yan, our next key task is to build this naval base, we will divide the work, I am responsible for the construction of the base, you are responsible for leading an ironclad warship and ten wooden sea ships to patrol the sea, and the other two ironclad ships should not enter the port, stop outside the port and run half a machine, and fully open their weapons, so as to ensure that once a naval battle occurs, you can immediately enter the battle, and you can go ashore three times to take a break." ”

"Yes, the last general obeys!"

After Yan Yingyuan left, Zheng Zhilong immediately instructed the other soils: "Each of the three of you will lead a hundred people to the commanding heights around the area and build a turret, and tonight you will put the searchlight stand on the lookout and keep strafing the perimeter of the base. ”

"Yes, the last general obeys!"

"You led a thousand marines and ten infantry chariots, patrolled our territory day and night, and all unidentified personnel were killed, no need to ask for instructions, extraordinary means must be used in extraordinary times."

"The last will obey."

"You! Bring 1,500 marines and other accompanying laborers, seize the time to build the base wall with reinforced concrete, pull up the power grid, and build some houses for the time being, and strive to complete them within two months. ”

"The last will obey."

Zheng Zhilong's side is also non-stop, the whole harbor is very lively, in order to catch up with the construction period, Zheng Zhilong finally had to recruit some laborers on the spot, a high wall, at a speed visible to the naked eye, the courtyard wall of the base was completed after seven days, both ends were connected to the water, and at the same time at each corner also built a simple turret, a total of seven or eight.

The courtyard wall is very strong, Zheng Zhilong asked people to try it with artillery bombardment, and he was very satisfied with the result. There are more than 50 acres of land enclosed by the courtyard wall, and the open space in the courtyard is still busy at this time, but the laborers are all marines, and the buildings inside are top secret.

Except for the best part of the harbor as a military port, the rest was handed over to Wang Chengen's subordinates, who would be responsible for the construction of the entire part outside the base, and then the imperial court would send people from the household department to collect rent, and also be responsible for collecting rent from passing ships from other countries.

The bastard gave away the best port for free, and of course he held his breath, relying on the familiarity of the ground, and now he was from a high place to spy on the movements of the Ming army.

"Boss, they really don't plan to leave, you see how strong the courtyard wall is, and I heard that the wall is covered with continuous thistles."

The bastard had a gloomy face, because not only Zheng Zhilong's military port was built like this, but even those rich people also built the city wall along the border, and because the rice was returned to the coins, many natives in the vicinity flocked to the beach construction site to work, and I believe that a big city would rise here in less than two months.

Why did those rich merchants spare no effort to build a city, because the imperial court would garrison troops here, and they were ready to build a base here to store goods from the mainland, and only by building a city would they be at ease.

"Has the brother who sent the letter to the red fur come back?"

"I'll be back this morning."

"What do you mean by red hair?"

"That's a group of cowards, who will come to attack the Ming army to take revenge, but there has been no movement so far."

"Then let's just wait, that group of red hairs is also rampant at sea, I heard the old enemy coming, but it is a strange thing to say that it is a strange thing, let our people pay attention to the movement on the sea, once it is profitable, we will attack, let the Ming Dynasty build it, the stronger the building, the better, in the end it is all ours."

"Haha! - The boss is extremely good. ”

Although Zheng Zhilong has been busy working at the base, he has not relaxed his monitoring of the sea surface and bastards, and in order to ensure safety, he also ordered people to lay water mines in the forbidden area to prevent the enemy from diving and sneaking attacks.

The lighthouse and artillery tower built at each commanding height, all completed and put into use seven years ago, Zheng Zhilong put ten soldiers and one rocket launcher, two mortars in each place, the turret is close to the base, relying on the simple cableway driven by the steam engine for daily material supply, and the people of the base are rotated for eleven years, the steam engine is made of local materials, and the firewood is temporarily burned to save fuel, and the trade route is opened up without such hardship.

Ten years later, Zheng Zhilong's base office was completed, a suite of 80 square meters, which integrated bathing, accommodation and office, because the boiler room pipes had already been built, when he took a comfortable hot bath, the fatigue of several days was swept away.

At night, while he was asleep, he suddenly heard the rumbling sound of cannons, and he was so frightened that he hurried out of the room to listen for a while, and the sound of cannons came from the sea.

"Marshal, the Dutch have thirty warships coming at me, and one ironclad ship near the base has already gone to support General Yan with twenty warships, and the other is patrolling nearby."

"The order went down, and all the ships left the harbor and went out to the sea, ready for battle."

"Yes!"

After giving the order, Zheng Zhilong came to the marines who had already assembled: "Lin Chong! ”

"The last general!"

"You lead the five hundred patrols in the city to maintain order, and execute those who cause chaos on the spot."

"Yes!"

"Ma Xingren!"

"The last general!"

"You bring a thousand to the head of the city to help defend the city, in case the enemy army attacks, let the artillery fire of the commanding heights and batteries support everywhere at any time, and the others are on standby!"

"Yes!"

After the dispatch was completed, Zheng Zhilong came to the dock again, and saw that the warships had already come to the sea, and his hanging heart was relieved, the ironclad warship responsible for guarding on the sea had been near the base, and the battle of the Ming Sea was still controllable.
