Qin Zhifu was set aside, and the soldiers and horses of the three parties on Nanao Island basically went their own way, and no one cared about anyone on weekdays, and there were many contradictions.

In particular, in order to compete for the already small amount of food and wages, they even fought once, killing and wounding hundreds of people.

Qin Zhifu also thought about forcibly integrating military power, but it was not easy to integrate military power, he had no soldiers and no money in his hands, when he tried to integrate military power, the generals under him found all kinds of excuses to mutiny, and after three or four small-scale mutinies, Qin Zhifu was also disheartened.

Whatever meritorious deeds are rolled aside, the official wants to leave this ghost place and continue to make money in other places, who loves to treat this ghost place!

So recently, Qin Zhifu has been looking for relationships in his upper and lower activities, thinking that he can be transferred out of Nanao Island!

Now on Nanao Island, the three parties are not in agreement, and the nominal chief soldier Qin Zhifu wants to find a way to transfer away, in this case, it would be good if Nanao Island could still be held, so how to fight back!

Even the Ming Army's sailors are too lazy to take care of the Pearl River Estuary now!

It's a pity that although the Tang Dynasty King was also aware of some unusual situations on Nanao Island, he didn't expect that they would make such a serious internal disturbance.

This can't be blamed on the generals of the Tang Dynasty for ignoring it, but because they don't have this imagination at all!

Because of their own lives, although the generals of the Tang Dynasty also felt that the combat effectiveness of the puppet Ming thief army on the opposite side was average, they never took the puppet Ming thief army

Be a fool.

Moreover, in the Tang Dynasty, although there are many contradictions between the navy and the army, this contradiction mainly comes from the competition for military spending, but in the Tang Dynasty, obedience to orders is the most basic quality, and the navy and army are so stiff, but the battle should be coordinated or cooperated, during the battle of the Qiongzhou Strait, in order to cover the landing of the army, the navy sacrificed most of the second fleet.

When the army is fighting, this will not happen, why?

In the final analysis, this is because of the physical problems of the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers are not generals, but directly belong to the empire and are loyal to the emperor, and the soldiers are not loyal to a certain general alone.

The generals on the front line, even Hao Bonian, who had outstanding military achievements, did not have the right to meddle in the replenishment of soldiers and ordnance, nor did they have the right to meddle in the distribution of military salaries, material procurement, and replenishment, he only had the power to command the First Army's combat and training, nothing more.

In the Tang Army, the power to recruit soldiers belongs to the War Department, which is not subordinate to the Privy Council, but to the Cabinet, which is a civilian institution.

Although the distribution of military salaries and the replenishment of ordnance belong to the army itself, they do not belong to a specific unit, and the distribution of military pay belongs to the Ministry of Salaries, the replenishment of ordnance belongs to the Ministry of Ordnance, and the power to transport supplies belongs to the Logistics Department.

The salary of the soldiers is composed of two parts, one part is the cost of food and clothing, which will be directly deducted and not distributed, and the relevant materials will be distributed uniformly.

Part of it is the salary paid directly to the hands of the soldiers, and these salaries are directly sent by the salary department to the troops, and then paid on the spot according to the capitation.

In other words, the commanders of the troops at all levels, even Hao Bonian, have no right to meddle in the salaries of the soldiers, because his own salaries are all taken from the salary department.

Including the promotion and appointment of the soldiers, they are also directly under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council's Quanxu Department, of course, the commanders of the troops at all levels have the power to recommend, but whether they pass or not is the matter of the Quanxu Department, in other words, even Hao Bonian, he does not have the right to promote a second lieutenant to a lieutenant.

Many of the above-mentioned decentralization systems were also created by Li Xuan in order to control military power!

There is a clear division of the powers of the various institutions, and they cannot interfere with each other!

Front-line generals only need to do a good job of training and combat, and other messy things don't have to worry about at all, and they don't have the power to worry about it.

Otherwise, what would Li Xuan do with a large Privy Council, eat dry food!

This has also created a special atmosphere in the Datang Army: soldiers are not generals!

Even if Hao Bonian has been the commander of the First Infantry Division for a long time, and now he is the commander of the First Army, the First Infantry Division is still fighting under him, but in fact, his influence on the First Infantry Division is limited, and it is quite difficult to lead the First Infantry Division to rebel.

But the Tang Dynasty is like this, it doesn't mean that the Ming army is also like this!

Therefore, it is reasonable that the generals of the Tang Dynasty did not expect such a change on Nanao Island, because you think they are not stupid, but in fact they are not stupid, but they will do stupid things.

However, the Ming navy on Nanao Island could not move quickly, and the operation of the Datang Navy was much smoother, and after clearing the Pearl River estuary, the second fleet began to patrol the sea off the Pearl River Estuary, and began to ensure the maritime order in the central and western coasts of Guangdong.

The Ming army's sailors did not move, and the fleet of the Francophiles gradually gave up the blockade, because it was meaningless to continue the blockade, and they themselves had to continue to do business with the Tang Dynasty, so it gradually fell out.

This situation is the same as the invasion of the coast of Guangdong by the Franc machine people a few decades ago, after the Franc machine people were driven away, they also retaliated for a period of time, but after a period of time, they themselves just couldn't hold on, and then took the initiative to give up.

When the Ming army sailors and the Franc machine people were not blocking the maritime trade routes along the coast of Guangdong on a large scale, the development of maritime trade in the Tang Dynasty also ushered in a new peak of development!

A large number of sea vessels began to travel to and from the two ports of Guangzhou and Lianzhou, mainly Guangzhou, which carried goods from all over the world or simply gold and silver to Guangzhou, and then sold the goods, and then purchased a large number of traditional export goods, such as silk and porcelain, and recently, some new goods have been welcomed by many merchants.

For example, cotton cloth with high quality but low price, these cotton cloths are cotton cloth produced by major textile mills, there are factories of the Ministry of Industry, and there are also some private medium and large textile factories produced, because a large number of mechanical production, lower cost, higher quality, these cotton cloth in addition to internal sales under the Tang Dynasty, but also began to export a large number of exports.

For example, the soap, toothbrush, toothpaste and other gadgets produced by the Royal Chemical Factory, which were originally made by Li Xuan himself privately to improve his quality of life, were first only used in the palace, and then slowly spread out, and then simply the royal investment established a royal chemical factory, which began to be produced and sold on a large scale.

Although these gadgets are expensive, they are still quite popular with the upper class and are very profitable.

Even the ordnance and equipment produced by the arsenal of the Tang Dynasty have recently become export commodities, of course, there are no guns, and the Tang Dynasty itself is not enough.

The sales are all cold weapons, such as swords and the like, because the Tang Dynasty now produces swords that are directly processed with steel, although the quality of steel knives is not as good as the treasure knives created by those masters, but the quality is not bad, and more importantly, the cost is low.

Not only did the small countries in Nanyang purchase some, but even the thief army under Yu Dayou secretly purchased a batch through second-way dealers!

Datang Ordnance has almost passed through East Asia, allowing several arsenals to make money and make money!

Anyway, the cold weapon of the steel knife can't affect the battle situation, and it can also make a lot of profit by selling the steel knife, so the Tang Dynasty also turned a blind eye to this.

Even thinking about it, is it simply to count the export of plate armor, the Tang Dynasty is using machinery to produce plate armor on a large scale, the cost is not high, within the Tang Dynasty, even if the profits of the arsenal have been added, the purchase price of a set of cuirasses equipped by ordinary soldiers is only between seven taels and ten taels of silver, each arsenal is different, but it will not exceed this range.

A set of half-body armor costs twenty taels of silver, which is generally lower than the cost of iron armor in the past.

The whole body armor is much more expensive, roughly about forty-five taels of silver.

The above price is not the cost price of the arsenal, but the purchase price of the military, that is, in fact, the cost price is lower.

At the same time, it is worth noting that even the full-body armor in the Tang Army is not the kind of richly decorated knight armor in the West, nor is it handmade, but purely mechanically produced, without any sense of art, and even many times if the soldier's body shape is not standard enough, he cannot find the armor that fits the size to wear.

The armor of the officers can be used with the standard armor rationed by the military, but they can also be customized and purchased, and the price of this tailor-made armor is not easy to say, it is normal to be several times more expensive, and even dozens of times more expensive is possible, which is no longer the category of standard weapons, but belongs to the category of art.

Those mass-produced mechanical armor, the cost is low, but it does not mean that the price of selling is also low, there were once maritime merchants from small countries in the South Seas, after seeing the plate armor, they wanted to ask to buy, and tried to buy ten sets of half-length armor from the Guangzhou Arsenal at a price of one hundred taels each, and the person in charge of the Guangzhou Arsenal was scared of his legs!

However, this transaction did not pass the review of the Ministry of Commerce, for the simple reason that plate armor, like guns, is a prohibited export, so why is it forbidden to export? Because of the limited production, the Datang Army itself is not enough!

Datang itself is at war, and the output is so small, if it is exported, it will not be enough.

However, on the whole, the industrial and commercial atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is still quite good, not only the sea trade has begun to develop, but even on land, it is also doing business with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty!

Otherwise, how do you think the gentry in Jiangnan used soap!

It's not through these maritime merchants.

There was also a shortage of grain in the Tang Dynasty some time ago, and a large amount of grain was obtained from the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty through the smuggling channels of Old Man Sun!
